eLocityMod 1.3 & FW 2.0133

Just got mine today and have a question on how to proceed with Dexter's Mod.
The a7 is currently at v. PBJ8000.2.0124
Should I first update the firmware from eLocity's site (v. 2.0133) and then update with Dexter's v1.3 or should I just go straight to Dexter's?
Thanks,
_mr

[Q] mabey a stupid question - xda-developers

Thanks Netstat, I saw that one with yours and '5[Strogino]' replies,
however I didn't see where anyone had installed the latest firmware (2.0133)
I've seen references to v2.0121, & v2.0127 but haven't seen and can't figure out
where v2.0124 fits in. Probably mostly confusion on my part with all the reading
I've been doing since unpacking this puppy.
I wasn't certain if I had to have my tablet at v2.0127 before proceeding with
Dexter's mod or not.

I installed 2.0133 already. Nothing extraordinary, except improved bluetooth compatability

To me it seemed like your question was "should I update to the latest eLocity update before installing Dexter's Mod"
That being the case, your question was answered. Installing the latest eLocity update before elocitymod 1.3 would be pointless since by installing elocitymod you are wiping the device (getting rid of the update you just ran)
Maybe I linked the wrong thread, I'll have to check on that.

First off......Welcome to the forums and I hope you enjoy your new Elocity A7.
Second......I apologies for the initial attitude you received. The answer to your questions is that there is no need to update to the official rom. Dexter has not made another update to the rom that includes the new update. I'm sure that he will in time.
Finally........You will still be better off installing the dexter mod over the official. Just having the market makes a big difference. May I also suggest that you install Launcherpro as well. It's a much nicer and more fluid way to go.

Sorry, I forgot to say welcome to the forums, so .... welcome to the forums.
As for the rest, how is clean dry facts attitude? People are way to sensitive these days.

Thanks Tetsuo! Precisely what I wanted to find out.
Dexter's Mod v1.3 flashed without any hiccups.
A couple of Apps that I had side-loaded under 2.0124 are acting up with the Mod, but I haven't had a chance yet to dig into them.
Having the Market is Great!
And my buddy just dropped off his A7 for flashing. Now we'll see if I can pull this
off twice in one week...!

[Q] Why do updates of some apps say "your device is not compatible with this item"?

[Q] Why do updates of some apps say "your device is not compatible with this item"?
Background: I have a Color Nook running Cyanogenmod 7 from an SD card, and when I installed the OS a couple of months ago, (V. 7.1-RC), it worked fine, and I also installed v. 2.6 of the Nook eReader app for Android, which also works fine.
Today I acquired a second Color Nook, and used the exact same files that I used before and installed Cyanogenmod 7 on the new nook, using the exact same SD card, the preferred SanDisk 8Gb class 4. The OS seemed to work just like it does on the other Nook, but then I tried to download and install the Nook eReader app, I found that it has been upgraded to 2.7, which provides the "your device is not compatible with this item" message. I have found other upgrades which behave similarly, such as ES file manager, and Chess Free from AI.
I have found references to a "fix" for this problem which involve a re-format of one of the partitions, using Clockworkmod, which I do not wish to install because it goes onto the internal memory and interferes with normal stock OS upgrades.
So is there any action I can take to get these upgrades to work on my Color Nook? And what causes this situation? Are the upgrades developed for a more advanced version of Android, and not designed to work on version 2.3? Thanks for any information anyone can provide for an android newbie!
Furthermore, when I try to upgrade the apps on the first Color Nook, I get the same message! So the problem seems more likely to be in the app than in my tablet.

Upgrade to a nightly above 200 or search market fix. Sooo many threads on this....

It worked!
Thanks so much for this information. As I mentioned, I am new at this, and I guess I didn't know where to look to find out the latest news. I installed nightly build 214, and EVERYTHING works as I expect it to.
I did a google search of "market fix", but didn't find any reference to this fix. And I gather that the solution has come rather recently if it takes a build with number 200 or greater to fix it, since that build was released on 23 September 2011.
Sometimes the key to finding answers is to pick the right keywords to search for. Any suggestions on some good ones? And maybe I just didn't look in the right places. There seem to be several groups doing android development, and there are several ways to "root" a color nook.
And thanks immensely to koopakid08 for answering in this thread so that I could solve my problem! I have already clicked on his "thanks" button, twice even!

The right place to search would be right here at XDA.

Has anyone tried this on the NC? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 I have done some research, but cannot find any threads about running this on the NC. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Read the bottom of the first post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873. Great instructions. I'm installed it on my bootable sd card running CM7 7.1.0 and have seen a great improvement in stability.

I've been using it since day one. It works very well.
Here's a thread from awhile back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191747

Thanks guys for the reply, but this looks to be Way over my head to accomplish.

[Q] Best way to get Kindle to show up as something else for Market apps?

Hello. I have had a Kindle fire since Jan of this year. It has been my first tablet/android device. I've had a great time playing with it, learning about rooting, bricking and unbricking thanx to this awesome forum and really want to express my gratitude for all the help provided by this site.
I am a medical student and I bought the device specifically for an app for my licensing exam. I feel like I have one last hurdle to overcome in understanding how to manipulate this device, that being a method of altering the way that the market apps recognizes the kindle. I have seen various mods that cause the device to show up differently.
My question is: what is the best mod to facilitate this and only this?
-I have everything as I like it so I prefer one that changes only this aspect.
Thanks a thousand times in advance.

Edit the build.prop file if you know how to, just change the model name to another device like the Galaxy Tab or something and you'll have a bunch more apps in the market.

Just use the modified build.prop from THIS thread and you will be all set.

thanks guys. I've read about build.prop. Gonna check out this link

I read through that link. It only supports CM7. I have had both CM7 and CM9 and prefer stock + go launcher. Do you know of any preset build.prop's that support stock?
edit: Obviously didnt read far enough, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
I will test it out then update. Thanks again!
edit2: Modaco Gr6 is the mod to flash for those seeking to run stock vs. CM7/CM9. I got access to the file I needed and many other apps. I dont think i am seeing the entire android market though.

[Q] Please help advanced user get back to CM7 from Stock 1.0.1

I had my Original Nook Color Since the 1.0.1 days. I rooted it and had it running everything for over a year. I went through the early froyo days and PhireMod days ect.... Recently I been running CM7 via sdcard. Well I tried some stupid things with my boot loader and messed up both loaders on the uSD and emmmc. Anyways ... after reading close to 100 messages and following many many old broken links, I have finally (via adb) got my nook back to stock 1.0.1 and running.
I am tech savy and know a bit about linux. And a lot about how the nook works. But my mind is fried after all this. SO I am asking for some help. Like I said, I currently have a working nook running stock 1.0.1 (with old broken wifi even) So my router is wide open so I can have wifi that works on nook. Anyway Please advise me were to go from here.
I would like to get CM7 running again via my sd-card. I would also like to update to Stock Nook 1.4.1 (on emmc) (so I can use their new comic reader) but that is not my main focus. If I can do that and dual boot then fine. But my real goal is just to get back to CM7 nightlies.
Do I need to nooter again ? Can some kind sole please point me in the correct direction or just walk me through what I need to do... I am tech savy so you could spell it out quickly if needed. I do have adb working and I have 2 empty sdcards.
ANYTHING would help my brain from overloading LOL.
Thank you so much.
PS... I have helped many many many people over the last 2 years both here in the Nook world and in the ANdroid forums.
Peace

Come on guys.... 75 views and not 1 bit of help. : (
I'll just keep waiting...
Thanks again

You have double posted and were answered on the other thread. You don't expect people to answer the same question twice do you? Or do you think they are different questions?
Eyeballer told you how to get to stock 1.2 in his guide. If you have wifi working, I would think it would update by itself from there.
The guide for making CM7 bootable SD is here:

And you don't have to root emmc to do it.
