BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also looking for some mods as I have just recently rooted my atrix as well.
So far I have done the Telstra mod --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049434&highlight=Telstra
although I found the thread a little overwhelming. I found a youtube video that walked me through it and now my download speed is 5280kbps and upload speed is 1210kbps!
An app that requires root that I downloaded today is pretty cool as well, its called Wireless Tether for Root in Market. Its free and it turns your phone into a wifi hotspot at the touch of a buton. Works great.

Well since you already took the plunge and rooted your phone, the very first thing I would suggest is to install CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143
It's not really that hard to install, and once you do install it, you can then create a back up of your entire phone (much more than Titanium backup). It's kind of like a creating a windows system image. That way if you mess anything up in the future, you can always restore to your backup that you made. Plus most mods, roms and themes are now using CWM for installation. Just follow the directions, ask if you get stuck, and read the thread, and you should be ok.
After that I would also suggest that you download Root explorer and SQLite Editor from the market; they come in handy.
If you get these apps, you can manually do the following (I always manually do my mods for the most part):
How about free mobile hotspot?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980636

Ok, you can download root explorer and SQLite Editor in the market, you just have to be rooted to use them.
Here are my instructions for enabling flash w/ Dolphin HD Browser. As stated above, you need to go to the dolphin browser setting and set user agent to desktop mode and set enable plugins (under advanced) to always.

Didn't work
Didn't work for me. Hulu gives me a message that Hulu requires at least flash version 10.0.32... Was fun playing though. First time I've used root explorer. I'm impressed.

You need to install Adobe Flash from the market first... probably was uninstalled during gingerbreak or flashing sbf.
1) Uninstall adobe flash
2) reboot for good measure
3) install a fresh adobe flash from the market
4) Follow the instructions in the post, replacing the correct flash file and making sure the stock one was either overwritten or deleted.
5) reboot for good measure

I second the Hulu hack, its magic

Enable sideloading first.. then download amazon market app.. a Free paid app everyday!

[Q] why do file downloads fail?

Im coming from a nexus s running CM, and on that i was able to download any file on the net direct to the phone.
On my note, i have been trying to do the same thing, however, moments after the download starts, it fails and i get an error message saying that the type of file is not compatible with my device.
The files ive been trying to download are the plugins (such as nVidia) for chainfire 3d... It also happened yesterday when i was trying to download some custom boot animations.
This means i have to wait till i get home, download to my pc then transfer them.
is it because im on the stock rom, and future custom roms will fix this? Or is there something i can change that will sort this?
I am rooted.

Are you using the stock browser?
If so, why not try a different browser, give Opera browser a go and see if you have any more download problems.

Dolphin browser is another good one.

[Q] Adding browser back to [or fixing] a rooted Nook Simple Touch

Sorry for the total noob question, but here goes. I have rooted my NST, using the following instructions: http://tinymicros.com/wiki/NOOK_Simple_Touch_%28NST%29_Rooting_For_Practiscore Forgive the external link, I just wanted to be clear on where I am at.
If this isn't acceptable, apparently the source of the info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and I used the "the 'Normal + Xorzone's mods + adb Wifi' build "
Practiscore works flawlessly and my nook does what I need it to do. Now I have been thinking that it would be cool to be able to surf the web or at least be able to use the internet over wifi to load apps without having to load it on the SD card manually.
Right now, when I open the browser, it will actually open www.google.com when I set it to the home page but then crash whenever I try to do anything - even just clicking on the search box. The fact that it will actually open google, tells me my connection is working, but either the root process broke the browser, or something else is wrong. I can also open the market and get it to show me some apps, but it won't let me search or surf to any app. Searching just hangs and displays nothing.
I've tried searching but I haven't had any luck in picking the proper search terms to get an answer, and for some reason there is a script running wild on this page that refreshes it every 2 seconds interrupting what I am doing. That problem is probably on my PC, but firefox is what I have.

Ok, I got some things to install by d/l'ing the APK's directly to the SD card on a PC. I still haven't gotten the app store to work, or google.

The app store search will not work on your nook touch, the only way to install apps are either sideloading them or installing them wirelessly using google play on your computer.
You may want to use Opera Mobile instead of the basic browser, it would be easier than getting the stock one working.

Ok, this thing is just not working, everything I try in the market or using the browser just crashes. I downloaded the opera mini, but I didn't get an apk, so I have no idea how to install the extracted files. Most of the apk's I have found to put on here don't work either and just crash. I cant even get hangman or a crossword to load for pete's sake...

Did you root it to run Practiscore on?
If not, I'd suggest restoring your backup, upgrading to 1.2.1 firmware, then using NookManager with NTGAppsAttack (see the Nook Touch Android Development Forum here on xda). That worked just fine for me. But I don't need to run Practiscore.

Yes, the link in the OP was what I used.

1. NTGAppsAttack - working google play
2. use SeachMarket.apk to look for APK's in Google play.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38323047&postcount=6
3. Use Opera Mobile instead of Mini.
4. To manually install .apk (without using ADB)
- put it on your uSD.
- open it using Relaunch or any other file browser that you use.

You sir are a genius. The searchmarket and Opera mobile WORK!!
Now all I have to figure out is how to get rid of those extra apps [that suck and don't work]
Oh and maybe a pdf reader that works...
..and is the screen supposed to go all wonky for a second whenever I do anything? Or is there a new video driver?

ASOP browser question

I searched and could not find a direct answer.... I am rooted with stock browser. I am updated to 4.3 and recently installed ASOP browser and flash. The browser freezes on websites with flash content and the android flash test page doesn't load... Is there any way to get flash to work with this browser?
thanks

Hi, flyers27...
I've never been able to get Adobe Flash Player working in the AOSP browser under Jellybean 4.3. There's actually a whole thread devoted to this issue here. The thread title declares the problem to be solved... it isn't. The OP mentions that by performing a full factory flash back to stock Jellybean 4.3, the problem should be resolved. Well, I did that (for reasons that have nothing to with Flash), and Flash STILL causes the AOSP browser to freeze/crash.
So, I admitted defeat, sometime back in August, and installed Firefox. For the most part, I use the AOSP browser - but if I know I need to use Flash, I use Firefox.
------------------------------------------
A workaround using Flashify...
This method is dependant on how often you access Flash content... if it's only occasionally, then it's fine and works OK. But if you need to access Flash content a lot, you'd probably be better off just using Firefox as your default browser.
Along with the AOSP Browser, install the Firefox browser.
Then install Flashify.
Set your AOSP browser as default... and use this browser on a routine basis, as normal.
On the occasion you need to access Flash content (say on a given website) in the AOSP browser tap on the menu, and select 'Share page'.... a bunch of listed apps will appear, one of which will be 'Flashify'.
Select 'Flashify', and a list of your installed browsers will appear (including Chrome)... select Firefox.
The webpage URL you're currently looking at will be 'sent' to Firefox... and any Flash content will now work.
Sounds more complicated than it actually is... and I know it's hardly an ideal or an elegant solution, but I've been using this method since mid-August, so it's habitual for me. I do it without really thinking about it.
------------------------------------------
Hope this helps... and if you ever do find a way of making Flash work in the AOSP brower, please post your solution.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I also tried many different browsers but with 4.3 - nothing.
on 4.2 Boat Browser helped me better the Opera of Firefox

How to use Mega to download without the App

Many people including me have tried to download something from the Mega host, just to run into troubles, and if you are like me, you dont want to install the app...
I found a little trick i thought i'd share, hopefully its the right place to share it.
When you run into a thread that has a link to Mega, you are normally greeted with the nice Mega App redirect page. To get around this:
1) Change your browser to Desktop mode on the current page you are on, not on the Mega redirect page.
2) Most importantly, tap and hold the download link and copy the link address.
3) Paste the link address into your current desktop viewed tab, and go.
You should now be able to get to the actual download without the app and/or fuss.
Cheers!

Thank you for sharing this it was kind of hard to figure out and it was annoying to have their ad for the app always appearing.

Awesome! Now do you know how to get the browser to open tabs in the background?

The app doesn't support downloading from folders anyway. So your method is still the best bet even if the app is installed. I should also mention that this method works with the stock browser I couldn't get it to work with Dolphin.

You can try entering this into your browser- i didnt have to touch anything once i hit enter., just paste the link and go. Afterwords, try tapping and holding a link, open in new tab, and it should open in the background.

Thanks for the help. It didn't work. I exited the browser (cause the Relaunch Browser button on the bottom didn't work), but still, tabs open in foreground. Weird that this is not an option. (BTW I'm using the built in brower)

Seems it's not working anymore with stock browser under CM12.1

Just curious, why not just install the app? It is IMO one of the best cloud storage/file sharing services you can use, way better than dropbox or box. Would love to understand why people don't use it.

Because it's slow, it downloads to a cloud 1st then to my phone and never allows me to use download booster so that's it in a nutshell for me anyways

Seems that Mega does no more allow uploading img files
I usually upload stock e.g. boot img, recovery.img, persist.img whenever I switch or update the ROM (used to do it on several devices and never had problems)
Yesterday I wanted again but it didn't upload. Then I tested:
- same img files that I uploaded with no problems time ago to Mega, but now uploading to another folder on Mega
- by renaming img files to bin files
- I even downgraded from the recent Mega 4.3 apk to 4.2.2 (because the last time, two weeks ago I successfully uploaded two img files and I checked now that Mega 4.3 apk was updated afterwards, just few days ago)
But no avail
I can upload my stock or Android patched boot images but ONLY if I ZIP them
However, I checked with a TWRP img file (for flashing TWRP) and it worked
Also, all my img files that were previously uploaded to Mega are still there and can be downloaded
I'm an old Mega user, with 50 GB limit, and I have 26 GB of free space (boot images are about 20 MB each), hence there is no lack of space problem - btw, I just uploaded an even bigger zip file with no problem
