[UTIL] Nookie-Froyo Utils, Density Changer and Forces Status Bar - Nook Color Android Development

Changed the name, because it really was designed for Nookie-Froyo. Removed MediaServer and cache features because they are irrelevant with 0.6.8 and add a force status bar feature which only works if you are on ROM based off of 0.6.8 and status bar framework update.
I wrote a graphic app that views/changes the LCD Density, restarts MediaServer, allows you to see the CPU usage of the MediaServer, and clears the Market Cache and Dalvik-cache. Let me know how it works and what OS you are using? Also, let me know if you want me to add any additional functions.

why would you want to restart the mediaserver?

Your nook will start to run sluggish or the youtube app is hanging.

This could be handy. Thanks, brian. I'll try it out soon.

looks good. will test it out soon

Thanks for this. I flashed the BT cm7 over #15. I understand there's a dpi that works for scaling with Google reader. I could use this instead of modifying build.prop?
edit: and i presume a reboot needed for it to take effect.

It will reboot it for you. If you need a different density then the ones that I have included, just let me know and I will add it.
Edit: Actually, I could get it to work so a reboot is not needed and the change would not be permanent. Would this be a useful feature to add?

I had to use brianf other app to stop the MediaServer because of youtube keep playing audio. This was with a different froyo 2.2 ROM.
I guess this app has more functions and would also work for that purpose.

i think so... the stock setting in cm7 works to show all apps in the market, but borks greader. it'd be nice if i could manually edit (permanent) the density to fix greader since i use that regularly but then quickly change it if i need/want to see my apps in the market.

tried installing this, says problem parsing the package
this supposed to work on 2.1 rom?

I think we are overlapping at least two other uses of the term "media server" (not unusual in the world of technology), making a web search difficult.
Can someone point me to an explanation of the Android use of the term?
Thanks !

There is a service that runs at boot that handles streaming media. This service is called mediaserver. This app restarts the mediaserver binary when it starts using up the CPU.

[ROM][FROYO]Wired CM MOD - Update 12/20/2010

Hey Guys, just after the release of my old ROM, this is a new ROM which is based on Froyo(2.2). I used the Cyanogenmod rom as base and i havent changed a lots except for some minor changes and few additions. The followings features are included:
Features
======
Stock Android UI
Busy-box
Rooted
SuperUser
NANO Editor
As Stable as CM
New Boot Animation
Froyo (2.2.1)
myTouch Music
New Android Market (Check Screenshots)
New Gingerbread Stock Keyboard (Check Screenshot)
Both Launcher Pro And Stock Launcher Included
Some Other Stuff
Removed Stuff
==========
Torchlight From CM
FileManager From cm (Get something from market if you need, that filemanager really bugged me so decided to remove, try ES File Manager, it rocks)
CM Boot Animation
Some other crapware
As this mod is derived from CM, most of the things (I think all) work properly, including wifi, bluetooth and everything else. If anyone finds any bugs or something wrong with the rom, please post it below.
How to install
=========
First root your phone using this method or this method.
Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.
If you dont get what i am saying, check this.
This rom asks you which launcher to use in the first boot, check the "Make Default" button and select the launcher of your choice, either launcherpro or default stock froyo launcher. I recomment launcherpro as it is really smooth and has no lags at all (i am using the same). And BTW, if you plan on using stock launcher and no longer want launcherpro on ur system, simply go to manage apps in settings and remove launcherpro as usual (yes, you can remove it). I havent dared to remove the awesome cyanogenmod settings menu because of its cool features and lots of additional functionalities. And the cyanogenmod wallpapers are intact as well.
How to make it look like the one in screenshot
==============================
First choose launcherpro at first boot and make it default.
then go to launcherpro settings (press menu on launcher and choose preferences) and appearance and change the dock's look to froyo wide
Then go back to launcher and long press the screen, and choose wallpaper, and go to cyanogenmod wallpapers and choose the wallpaper as shown in the screenshot.
Then arrange the icons in the same way and you are ready to go.
Enjoy Gingerbread Keyboard And The New Android Market With Lots Of Improvements.
Please let me know if something does not work. THanks
Update 12/20/2010: New Update Coming Very Soon! With WiFi And Tethering Working + More Features And More Stuff
[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] ]
I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with this rom and lets hope they will send the updates soon.
Download ROM
P.S. I can live without negative feedback. (<--Copied it from someone )
can i use headset control on this rom????????????????
OMG, i love this.
but the removal of some apps doesn't appeal to me.
Like file manager, Rom Manager, And the ability to wifi tether is gone.
I was able to wifi tether in the latest versions of CM, but it totally rids it of it in this rom.
Either than that, awesome rom.
Love the boot animation, keyboard, launcher. Keep up the good work. Hope to see more ROMs from you soon!

Wifi works - try reflashing it. Did you do a factory reset before flashing this rom? At minimum, clear your cache.
Using the headphones that came with this phone only works on the stock rom since it was a proprietary thing T Mobile did - why do people keep nagging about this issue?
Wifi tether isn't built into a rom. It a function but must be accesed by an .apk file. Download the latest wifi tether apk (2.0.5 rc1) and install it. BAM! wifi tethering in the palm of your hand.
"reflashing" it's you mean up again?? i wipe my device already. clear all data before up this rom but it's still not work

@Chubby.........please post a panoramic picture you have taken, as you seem to be the only person to get this working on the Atrix.
I too got an error in cwm, the modified .zip worked. Thanks. On boot up "live logcat" is showing alot of extra pink text, not sure what that means, maybe nothing since Im using the lite version.. Anyways, apk installed. App chrashes on "shoot" too. But the led flashlight works haha.
I don't think it will work for Atrix. There is a SIGILL signal generated by /data/data/com.sonyericsson.panorama/lib/libGmvPanoramaAndroid.so because of unsupported processor instruction.
The code disassembly at address 0x1dc04 of libGmvPanoramaAndroid.so shows:
.text:0001DC04 VLD1.8 {D24-D25}, [R2]!
.text:0001DC08 VLD1.8 {D20-D21}, [R12]!
.text:0001DC0C VLD1.8 {D22-D23}, [R2]!
.text:0001DC10 VLD1.8 {D18-D19}, [R12]!
VLD is an Advanced SIMD (NEON) instruction and Atrix's processor is non-NEON that's why it generates an error when executed and terminates the process.

Netflix streaming Super Fast!

I've seen some people have this problem but never a sure solution.
I have tried different CM7.1 ROMs, and a couple different pershoot kernels, I also have used the hacked netflix and the non-hacked one from the market, but still get super fast playback on netflix so everyone sounds like a chipmunk.
anyone solve this issue?

Are you using an APK?

Tasker on Touchpad?

I have been using Tasker for over a year now on my Atrix and would love to load it on my touchpad, but it appears it is not suppported according to the Android Market. Has anyone gotten it to install? Is this just a matter of the Market or the app creator not being caught up with the dev done on the touchpad?
Maybe copy your tasker apk form your Atrix, than use it on TP?

You can use an app called bluetooth file transfer. Once paired theres an option to send apps from your phone to the touchpad. It works great...

You can just email it to yourself and install from the attachment.
If you can't find it that way, you can download app monster, and manually make a backup of Tasker, then navigate to app monster folder and email it from there. This is what I do when apps dont show in the market. Hell, Im bored ill try right now.
and yes Tasker works beautifully.

It shows up in the Market from my TouchPad for me. I've had it installed since the first day I switched over to CM7, but I haven't really done much with it, except to verify that it does recognize events and execute tasks.
So I tried coping it from my phone, but when I ran the apk it wouldn't install on the touchpad. In the market my device is greyed out unfortunatly, I am using MIUI... Guess I will have to try the backup route
Maybe a MIUI vs CM issue?

[Q] GPS/Location triggers reboot. How to fix?

Hi!
I am using DSC's ROM (on 1.7 ATM) and I sometimes get a "flashing lights" and immediate reboot when my phone tries to use location services -I can't be sure if it's GPS, WiFi, or both-. I think I flashed the right BB when I installed the ROM -there was a batch script that took care of that if I remember correctly-, but quite frankly, after having spent many hours around the forums, not being sure what to do exactly, and having a bit of fear of bricking it/whatever; I'd rather ask beforehand. So:
What should I do?
About phone says:
BB: GAUSB1A1406214-EU
Thanks!
try disabling > use wireless networks
it should be inside > location & security settings
something similar..
I just did; the phone crashed and it's now rebooting. I was running logcat at the time, but nothing relevant showed before the reboot.
well... usually try using dsc 1.0 and see what happen..
there are reports that google maps is the causing of the problem though.. i dont use it btw...
Oddly enough, I've just tried several apps which use location services and it has not yet crashed. It's not getting a fix since I'm indoors, but at least it hasn't crashed yet...

Try installing the latest version (2.1) or DSC 2.0 they have less or even none issues. Don't forget to wipe caches and fix permissions.
The behaviour didn't change when I upgraded from an older DSC ROM to 1.7... Why would it matter exactly? Were there any bugs corrected on that release that could affect the location services?

I read the linked thread and it sounds very much like the problem I'm having. However, I thought that problem had already been corrected by 1.7, and I couldn't see any output on the logcat the last time it rebooted. So: should I try with the 366BB and Kernel? Should I upgrade to 2.1? Thanks!

I disabled the reboot code in kernel but no idea if it helps really.
Upgrade won't hurt i think.

I can't really be sure about it, but... wasn't that change already present in 1.7?
How long could it take, and how hard would it be for a n00b like myself (although with some programming experience) to add some logging output when the reboot *would have* happened?
Thank you really! I'm getting more and more interested in this!

2.1 has an option to disable kernel NoSync hack.
