So all of my new shows came back!! Too bad I feel asleep as soon as I came home last night. Its a VERY good thing that I have a DVR or I would be so upset. I am going to watch The Office, Fringe and Bones tonight. I have been patiently waiting for them to start again. I ordered some pizza hut and am planning to watch everything back to back.

I really have no plans for tomorrow other than trying to fix my old laptop, grr it just randomly shuts down!! I am going to go through and clean this laptop out and sort all of my files and move important ones over to my external hard drive.

I will be updating this post this week. I am sorry for the delay.

Here is the Pandigital Novel. I bought it from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I had been wanting an ereader for a while. I was not prepared to pay 200 bucks to “just” read books. I found that the Novel was built with android and that was a definite plus. It was already made to have the ability to check your e-mail and browse the internet, half of the work was already done.

I researched for ways to modify the Novel to make it an Android pad. I used the help provided by Slate Droid to turn my Novel into my baby, I mean an Android pad. I am able to do some many things with it.

It was not hard, it was just frustrating at first, but once I read and understood the goal, I realized that I was doing it right the whole time. The first step was to create a Back and a Home button. I used the Volume Button hack to do this. I also had to install an alternate home launcher since Android was already installed but Novel was using its own interface.

Think of it like using wordpress themes, the look changes but it’s still using the same code. In this case you are removing the Novel home screen, thus having access to the other programs. It involved using Command Prompt and pushing some files over to the Novel. I kept getting frustrated because I thought I was doing it wrong because it really did not give me a confirmation that it was completing or doing anything at all. But I ended up adding the code more than once, but everything turned out A-ok.

I was able to get panda home installed as well Google voice and the most important of them all Google market.

I was able to get access to the market. From there I was able to get Pandora and Slacker! I am totally happy.

Google Voice!!

I am able to use Google Voice anywhere I can get Wifi!!!!!! I am looking into making my cell into a hot spot.

Here is a shot with half the apps installed
