Works great on my tb , would look better on the nook given the resolution.
I have miui on my sd card so I'm going to try and install this using root explorer when I get home.
Also hopefully it's ok to link that thread:/ if not mods please remove.

I get a build.prop error. Wont install.
I found that the issue is with the linker file that goes in bin... if you unzip the files into their proper locations its the only conflict and it makes the nook bootloop. I also tried modifying the flashable's script to install on the nook, still didn't install.... Maybe the author of this port can fix up that linker file for us
I'll message him and see what he thinks. or hopefully one of our devs here will pick it up and get it working.
It's really smooth on my tb ,I always felt that the browsers were lacking or just looked funky. But I think this would be a perfect fit.
Also it supports flash, has tabbed browsing, reflows correctly after pinch in, and you can change the user agent. .

No problem here downloading the rom using megaupload or any other
file sharing site using my phone.
There is a folder on the root directory of the internal sdcard called
".downloadTemp" thats where the file gets downloaded to.
The default browser works best for me not only in downloads but in general.
I am using gtg's unNamed v1.0.3 rom right now.
I have downloaded many files from Internet since getting this new phone.
Good luck!

Sometimes the stock browser can be flakey when it comes to downloads. You can try clearing cache and user data, and anything else to reset the browser and that might fix it for you.
But the easiest fix is to just use a different browser, dolphin its the one I use.
Not that the stock browser is not a good one, but I could never get it to consistently download everything either. It would seem like I would toy with it for days to get it to work, then a day later it would be picky about what file types it would download again.
And last little note if your interested in this stuff, it seems the dolphin browser is the fastest browser at rendering java script we have available on Android (although the speed is not way better, it is a little better)

Don't use the default browser, download using opera always works. Look fire opera in market. It's a wonderful substitute for the stock browser with better interface as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I've used a few browsers beginning back in January and I have to agree that Opera is by far my favorite. I've used Miren, Dolphin, xScope and I think a few others and have found Opera to be the best for what I do. I don't need all of the customization options that some of the browsers provide and Opera loads quickly and easily; as well as allowing me to download the files I want to download.
If you want to download using the stock browser go to the market and download a small app called, download all files. Once installed, it allows the stock browser to save any file. Works great for me

I had some issues earlier today where Megaupload wouldn't let me download the complete file. Even to my desktop. It kept getting stuck between 80 and 90%. I had to give it a couple of hours then it worked. You may try to download a download manager from the Market as well.
stock browser seems flaky to me. usually it works, but every now and then it wont let me dl a program/app/file. like others have suggested maybe try another browser. sometimes if i restart the phone i can grab the file that failed the 1st time
Anyone here a fan of Catan? Bought the app and have a problem with it rebooting my phone every 20 minutes of play or so. Emailed the dev team only to get a response telling me to use a task killer to free up memory and included a link that says why Android doesn't need task killers. I find this kind of answer unacceptable as my wife's fascinate runs the game fine. Maybe there's a memory leak in the x2? I refuse to run task killers since they are not needed.
*Update 11/24
Attempted to use the V6 SuperCharger script to manage the memory better and lock the app into memory etc. It was a no go. Going to call the customer service after the holiday and see where that goes. I'll keep this posted when I find something.

No worries. I figured that was the case for most people. It's a euro board game, very fun, that got created for ios and android. I play the physical game all the time, check it out sometime if you like board games...think civilization, but WAY faster to play and WAY less complicated.

So, I flashed Eclipse 1.3...still rebooted after ~20 minutes of play. What I can't determine is if the X2 has a memory leak or can't manage apps good enough, or if the catan app is bad. Problem is, it works fine in the fascinate and other apps work fine on the X2 so which one is broken....one of them has to be

be sure to make a nandroid first just in case. usually everything is just fine. but just in case u bootloop u will want to restore.
I recommend V6supercharger update8 to be safe. the newer versions are great but if u never used it b4 u r gonna want to use the "basic" version first to get used to it. and all the newer ones are just RC'S anyway(release candidate) they are not finals like update 8 was.
I ended up getting update9 rc4...having dome issues, but hopefully will get worked out. Issues:
1. From terminal emulator I get either permission denied (after an su) or file not found (spelled correctly in the correct directory)
2. From root file manager it seems to take over 10 minutes to run? It does add a supercharger folder and HTML file, but this seems like a long time for a script. (Hopefully I'm wrong and it's installing stuff too making it take longer)
3. Dled romtoolbox and added the script. It ran...but apparently I didn't copy the whole thing. I'll try that again if this pass of #2 above doesn't work.
Question: how do I know it is installed, and will the changes be there after every boot? I haven't needed to run scripts before this phone. Thanks.

sorry I should have specified.
get script manager from market and run it using that.
be sure to check run as root.
before running it u are going to want to go into script manager settings and turn off the "extra gestures " setting so u are able to scroll correctly. and u also want to turn on browse as root.
if u made a nandroid before running what u did I would restore that then do these things to be sure u have a clean install.
then after u reboot just run supercharger script again and it will tell u if it is installed and running correctly.
script manager has a free and a paid version in market.
that is the tool u want to use to run the script trust me. it makes it very easy
oh and by the way...since eclipse has init.d support there will be no reason to use script manager to run anything at boot. it will run every time.
if u happen to use one of the options to change minfree values((u don't need to do that.)) but if u do you will want to go ti system/etc/init.d and edit the 98tweaks file that comes with eclipse. u will want to delete the lines in 98tweaks that refer to minfree values(says something like "aggressive values etc...") but it isn't necessary if u just do the oom groupings fix and htk launcher.
Awesome, thanks. I did see reference to script manager, but thought I'd try it without first...guess I know what I'm doing next

yeah just make sure u change the settings I mentioned. if u don't turn off extra gestures setting it will type a bunch of random characters when u try to scroll. its VERY simple to use.
feel free to private message me if u need any help as well.
my gmail will alert me quickly so I can get back to ya
let me know if u need any tips its thanks giving...don't forget to hit thanks button...Hahaha ...just kidding ...im a thanks whore Hahaha...
also. I usually change the file type from pdf to .sh...just rename the file with whatever file explore u use. its bot necessary but I do it
when running it using script manager u will see an option to choose to use terminal emulator if you prefer it but script manager is very simple/easy to use. have fun with it. its an awesome script for making our x2 run how it should. enjoy
That's funny, I tried saying thanks...but the xda app doesn't let me. I'll do it later. Got the script working. The problem was that my file browser was executing the script...without any way for me to see the output and make selections haha. Script manager did the trick.
On another note, the Catan app still crashed. The first time was in 10 minutes, but only brought me to the home screen. The second one made it reboot after 20 like before. I think I'm going to try the oom group fix with bulletproof launcher instead of hard to kill. And change to the 513hp aggressive setting.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Oh, and I made sure to have all the settings correct
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
bulletproof launcher will lock home app in memory. kinda takes up ram by not allowing home to be killed. .
maybe try option 9(used to be on.older version) for different minfree settings ...
Well, thanks anyway ash. It was a good thought. I tried every setting, including different minfrees and even bulletproofing the Catan app itself. It still reboots after 20 minutes. I even went into the script after reboots to make sure the settings were sticking...they were.

I spoke too soon, it launches but force closes.
It is now force closing on me, on the plus side if I access android market from computer it now lists Nook Tablet as one of my devices.
I got it to run once, then it force closed when i tried to download something. Now it force closes on Start.
It also crashes for me when I try to install or update an app. I wonder if this has to do with the same storage issue Amazon Market had before I installed an SD card. Before installing an SD card, Amazon Market refused to install anything. It appears that Android Market might prefer to crash.
Op, can you change the title of the thread? I don't want to lead any one on.
Thanks for the effort tho, we shall keep trying.
Title changed =( Man I was so excited for a minute.
Looks like it quits on start because its still trying to download what ever app you last selected.
Does android generate an error report when apps force close? If so perhaos we could pull that and alter android market apk to work around issue. Just a thought.

Amazon Kindle Fire "Silk" Browser
Ok this IS NOT my work. Just sharing it to the EVO 3D community in-case some might not know about it. TyHi ported this browser to work on a different OS. And its SUPER fast and flash rendering is fast also.
Install Tutorial:
1. Download the attached zip View attachment SilkPort-Updated-1-4-2011.zip
2. Use Root Explorer to copy the lib files to /system/lib set permissions the same as the others.
3. Install all of the .apks like you would side load.
4. Copy the com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app
5. Reboot and enjoy

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.
Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
