Could we not just use ADB to push, or even a file explorer to move the two files to: \system\lib\modules? How important are these files and what do they do?

It certainly was easy enough to put them to correct place manually.

I have upgraded my kernel to dalingrin's many times without these two files and things seemed to work fine. I now have them in \system\lib\modules.

But what do these file do?

Thanks in advance.

Is anyone that is running CM7 RC4 on SD card experiencing skipping on mp3 playback? My songs will skip about 3-4 times per song. All my music in on the 4th partition /sdcard. Using OC kernel at 1100 MHz on-demand.

Edit1: May just be the ondemand setting. Tried on performance and works better.

Edit2: Take it back, still skips here and there.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
You should give cifsmanager from the market a go. With dalingrins cifs.ko module. I can mount a folder from my PC to my nook. Kinda like samba. Except that I can also choose an .avi and stream it over to my nook. Its one of the things I missed when coming from stock to froyo or gingerbread. Now that this is working. I'm just about complete. :)

So here is what I did to make a working 16GB SDcard:

Starting out with a working 8 GB CM7 SDcard. To save time, I configured it with my settings and, on the /sdcard/ partition, my music, books and videos folders. I then created an image using Winimage on my PC's hard disk.

I wrote this 8 GB image to my 16 GB microsd card using, again, Winimage.

I tested the result in my Nook and it booted and ran just as the original 8 GB card had.

Finally, I mounted the 16 GB microsd card back in my PC and booted it with a GParted Live CD (best partition manager for Linux).

In GParted I was able to grow the 6-ish gig 4th partition to fill the entire remaining ~8 gigs of unallocated space on the card. Committed the changes, removed the sdcard from the PC, replaced it in the Nook. Now I have a CM7 SDcard-based system with 13+ Gigs of supplemental storage. I'm copying more movies onto the card as I write this.

This same method would work for a 32 GB card.

[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Yup... pretty much how I did it on any 16 GB SD's... also how I was recommending getting it on that 32 GB SD.... but, I used windows easeus partition manager... minitool partition manager works too.
[Nook Color Android Development] quinxy:
May not apply, but if any of you guys are using class 10 cards, be warned, I think most of my force close errors and instability over the last two days were from using a class 10 card.

I got it to work initially by doing the sort of imaging/resizing you mention, but when I switched back to a PNY class 4 (by imaging back to it) it seems like all my (frequent) random force closes have stopped; and my class 4 card actually tests as a write 12 MB/s, read 84 MB/s, that's the sort of class 4 i like... :)

[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
A number of us have found through testing various versions that the integrity of the manufacturer really comes into play... seems many are just stamping higher class/speed ratings on inferior class cards... I tested 5 brands with multiple speeds and the 2 reliable results I found were sandisk is consistently faster than its class rating... sometimes 2 classes above... Kingmax had the fastest and most consistent of the the various size class 10 cards I've tried.... I'm pulling 2000+ quadrant scores running from SD at 975 or 1Ghz kernel on Froyo, CM7 and HC4 running from 4 or 8 GB Kingmax class-10 so I settled on ony buying those as available for a reasonable price via buy.com... they are not the cheapest but you get your money's worth with this brand when looking for fastest at a good price...
[Nook Color Android Development] stilger:
FYI this works well with this boot hack: [ADV] Boot menu for the Nook Color [2011-03-19]

Actually thinking about it we could make this the "alternate mode"

From thread:

- alternate mode: kernel image file is "uAltImg" and ramdisk file is "uAltRam"

Then we could do a real recovery image (Setup for our SD partition scheme) as well. Something to think about.
[Nook Color Android Development] glgehman:
Yes it can...

I successfully made a Phiremod SD card.

Since the Phiremod zip file is too large to fit in the default boot drive as created by Verygreen's size-agnostic disk image, I did the following:

1) create a boot disk from Verygreen's image as described in post #1 of this thread.

2) Use Ease-us Partition Master to expand the boot partition. It starts out somewhere around 118 MB. I resized it to 130-something MB.

3) copy the latest Phiremod distro into the boot partition of the SD card. (if you rename the distro to update.zip, everything will proceed automatically).

4) mount the sdcard into Nook.

5) Boot the Nook.

I was afraid that by resizing the boot partition I might totally mess up whatever scripting commands Verygreen executes, but surprisingly, it worked and when I rebooted, I was rewarded with a fully functional Phiremod v5.2 working system on SD card.

I've installed this for a few days and everything was going well (the odd quirk here and there) but I've now lost wifi. It won't find new networks nor update (signal/security icon missing on all) remembered networks.

turning off/on wifi hasn't helped and it's surviving reboots/cold starts which I found surprising.

I removed my sdcard and root 2.1 wifi works fine.

If I put the file on the sdcard and boot to recovery I understand it installs and my data remains intact but do my installed apps remain?

Or anyone aware of a persistent issue with wifi?

Edit: I had to remove all remembered networks. Wifi is working again, however that's kind of annoying plugging in the keys again.

But I'd still like to know if recovering loses apps. Or even if I tried that modified honeycomb version, do you retain apps installed in that case?
[Nook Color Android Development] tablo:
Anbody using this SD installer use the VLC Stream and Convert app? I tried a variety of different settings and I still cannot get movies to play with a good framerate.

I'm using a Sandisk class 2 8GB card. I'm trying to determine if it's because of the install method or something else.
[Nook Color Android Development] pasdabeer:
both were internals. I've had no issue making boot cards for my phones on my desktop, so no clue what it was.
[Nook Color Android Development] rockyddroid:
No, didn't work.

I want the normal sd card.

So that I can use it in a phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
Format it in the phone, if that didn't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] rockyddroid:
Still didn't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] rockyddroid:
Is there any other way? There must be.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
How are you reformatting, and why do you say it's not working?
[Nook Color Android Development] rockyddroid:
I put it in the format. And just format normally.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Hi, I want wipe all my data and account on the SD card to sell Nook. Is this possible with the alternate recovery? Or does apply a factory reset to Nooks internal RAM?

PS: I want to sell it preinstalled with the latest CM9 nightly. Therefore I do not want to just format the SD card.

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
If you use the alternate recovery from my thread (v3.0.2.8), you can have it do a factory reset and it should remove your installed apps and data from the SD card installation only. Emmc apps and data sould not be touched. If you want to wipe the apps and data on emmc, use either the stock recovery or a normal CWM recovery to do the factory reset.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
OK cool, thanks. I host the original BN OS on emmc. Where do I find the version number of the recovery?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
It will show the version number on the top line once you open it.
[Nook Color Android Development] rockyddroid:
Can anyone please tell me the proper procedure to format the SD Card so that it is usable in any normal phone?

Please.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Search the web for a free program called SD card formatter. It is a windows program written by the SD card association. SD cards need a special format to work properly.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Hi,

I want to do an exact copy from one sd card to another (same size, same brand). Do I have just to create an image and flash this image to the new fresh formatted card or are there some extra steps to do?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
There are two ways to clone the SD to another. The first is using win32diskimager as described in my tips thread linked in my signature and the second is to use partitioning software to clone one disk to another. I have not tried the latter, but another user said he did it successfully.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
leapinlar..

just for education, can you explain why topcaser's suggested method won't work? I am not disagreeing, just trying to learn..

Thanks..
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
It will work. That method is the one I suggested in my tips thread. Make an image with something like win32diskimager and burn that image to the new SD.

I tried to copy a CM9 zip onto a freshly imaged card but there wasn't enough free space? I have an 8gb mSD card but it's been imaged to show 107mb of 115mb free?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You need to use my revised image that has been enlarged for the larger CM9 zips. It also fixes the duplicate gapps issue. Get it in my tips thread linked in my signature. Item B2 in the second post.
[Nook Color Android Development] Neo3D:
Thank you!

Do you recommend the openGL CM9 or the non-openGL version?
[Nook Color Android Development] purpleurkle:
The new build 9/4 only has one.
[Nook Color Android Development] KrellaKrentoshi:
Ditto

I am using a SanDisk 4GB class 4 SD card. After many post readings and fiddlings, I have gotten it to the bootloop stage. I can get it to a blank screen after it displayes the cyanogen logo, I can get it to say something like 'loading to boot' and have it shut off without ever booting. I can even get it to go all the way to the blue android on the skateboard endlessly looping, but not any further. I have tried fiddling with easus settings, I have tried different combos of images and roms. I am greatly frustrated and annoyed, rooting my Droid 4 wasn't nearly this difficult! I have been working on and off on this since I got my nook a year ago, and am about to give up and just go by an android tablet. This blog http://taosaur.blogspot.com/2011/09/running-cyanogenmod-7-from-sd-nook.html has been a great help in some regards, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25354258#post25354258 has been too.

[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Write the image... put it in the nook... power nook on... let the script do its thing....

Turn nook off... remove the card... put it in a reader for your computer... write the ROM zip file to the boot partition... put it back in nook and fire it up... configure wifi, etc... now you have 2 options:

OPTION A. If your comfortable with adb then do the following:

(ADB wifi is a great app for this)

adb shell mkdir /sdcard/boot

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot

adb push ****GAPPS.ZIP**** /sdcard/boot

OPTION B. Power nook off... remove the card... hook back up to computer... copy *****GAPPS.ZIP***** to the boot partition... put card back into nook

After either option above... reboot nook into the SD "recovery" mode and let it install gApps

Remember... it can take FOREVER for the first boot to complete when setting a ROM up on the SD.

Installing CM9 over CM7....on an SD card..

Hi,

I have been using CM7 on my nook color...booted thru sd card. I now want to go for CM9.

However, CM9 nightlies are sized over 110 mb, which is the space thats free on my boot partition of the sd card. (I have used verygreen's installer).

I have installed quite some apps and do not want to lose any of them.

Is there any way the boot partition sized can be increased? Or do I have to format the sd card from scratch to install CM9.

Titanium Backup is also an option, but I do not know whether backup from gingerbread will work on ICS.

Thanks to all devs for the great work !!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
If you only backup installed apps (not system apps) with Titanium Backup, they will reinstall properly to your CM9 setup.

So backup your installed apps with TB then backup your sdcard media to your PC. Then burn a my new image available in my tips thread linked in my signature to your card. Then, after installing CM9, restore your sdcard media and then restore your installed apps via TB.
[Nook Color Android Development] fxstsb:
Missing file

When I format my card using generic-sdcard-v1.3.img, I then add cm-7.2.0-encore. I insert it in my nook color I get a message that a file needs to be installed updatei-cm ****.zip on the SD card. It says the file can be downloaded from nook.linuxhacker.ru, well I see no files there. Who has the file and can someone be so king of giving me a screenshot of their working SD card. Thank you.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
You can follow the link in leapinlar's signature (you should anyway for the one about the tips), but you will eventually need to end up at this page.

Use that image and pay attention to what file names it's looking for.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You can do what the previous user advised and go to that link to get the newest image file that I modified, but the cause of problem you are having is that the newest cm zips are not named so that the old image will recognize them. Just rename the cm-7.2.0-encore.zip to update-cm-7.2.0-encore.zip and try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] fxstsb:
Thank you

Sometimes something so simple can be so difficult. vice versa. What I learned, was that I could rename the Cyanogen Mod Nightly builds with an "update-" = the filename and that would fix my problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] bytte:

It would help if you retitled this thread to V1.5 and referenced the latest version from the OP.

I can't. This thread belongs to verygreen.

[Nook Color Android Development] purpleurkle:
Is it just the update-sdbootmount-rev2.zip that I'm installing? And I'm not sure how to put the zip on my root partition
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Just take the card out of the nook and put it in your PC. Copy that zip to it, take it back out, put in the Nook. Reboot. When the first tiny flash on the screen happens, hold the n key until the boot menu comes up. Choose SD and recovery and finish booting. The script installer will install it. Then reboot and the sdboot directory should show up in the root directory. You should never have to take the card out again to install new software. Just copy your installation zip directly to the boot partition (sdboot) while the card is still in the Nook. Then reboot like I described above to install it.

Edit: now I see how you were confused. I had a typo in my instructions where I said 'root partition' when I meant 'boot partition'. Corrected typo.
[Nook Color Android Development] purpleurkle:
Had a feeling that's what u meant, but didn't want to screw anything up (which for me isn't hard lol). OK, I'm all set up, and everything looks good. I do have one question, when I go to goo manager to download the latest nightly, it only has up to the 20121117. I'm running 20121118 ,and when I look for updates it says there aren't any. Does it not show the latest or am I just not doing something right?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
GooManager does not host the CM10 nightlies. Eyeballer put the 11-17 version on there to help with a CM download problem. If you are running CM10, you need to use CyanDelta or CMUpdater as explained in my updated SD installation instructions linked in my signature. Then you need to manually copy the file to sdboot.

hi guys & girls,

i rooted my phone and installed oxygen-2.0.1 about a month ago but im getting a bit bored of that rom now so decided to change it heres where im getting confused?

i put my phone in recovery, done a data/factory reset

mounted usb so my sd card was synced dragged over the rom i wanted to try which RCMIxHD_v3.5 (as a rar file) then i renamed it to update.zip unmounted sd card then applyed the sdcard:udpate.zip let it do its thing then i rebooted.

all it does is reboot as a freash install of oxygen-2.0.1 what am i doing wrong :confused:

help would be great on this

im using a htc desire phone (forgot to add if that helps)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twogubs:
Put your new rom on sd card-make sure it is a .zip file-even though it may be associated with winrar,no need to rename it.

Choose install zip from sd card and then choose zip option to find the new rom ,then install it.(If it fails to install then toggle signature verification off)

Press back button and choose reboot system now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If it's a rar file you need to extract the .zip file inside of course.

thanks.

:]
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
There is a lot of threads on this exact subject, please use search next time.

Now as for your question yes you can simple unlock your HD2 as well as most other smartphones that require a simple card to work. I see your carrier is listed as T-Mobile so all you have to do is contact T-Mobile And tell them you need a unlock code cor your HD2. Tell them you are going to have to go out of country for business or a vacation and you want to be able to use a local carrier's services while there. Or if you want just tekl them you are going to terminate your contract with them and switch to another carrier, but still want to use your HD2 and not have to buy another phone. I recommend the first suggestion myself but hey sometimes honesty is the best policy. Your other option is to go to Ebay and buy a code. they are not expensive at all. It is up to you how you want to go about getting your code. Be advised though using your HD2 with another carrier. You will only get Edge signal for your data signal. This is because of the hardware in the HD2 not the software. If you are switching to AT&T the Australian HD2 can use AT&T's 3G Signal but no other HD2.
[HD2 General] eyeisdasteve:
contacting t-mobile isn't an option. ill just save up money and buy one on ebay. i knew i was gonna have to do that but i was just seeing if anyone on XDA could unlock phones.

unlock code

I just got the phone off Craigslist, I didn't waste time spend little $, went to three sites, try and get codes, no luck, waste times, n hope I ll get my $ back. After 2 weeks, I finally got unlcok code from the seller, who's carrier is tmobile, since I asked him I can't get the unlock code from different sites, so he finally forwarded tmobile email w unlock code to me. So especially u r with t mobile , and why not hv they give u code?
[HD2 General] eyeisdasteve:
i already said earlier.
[HD2 General] iwin2000:
You can get a friend who uses tmobile to do it for you? You get one unlock code every 90 days. I've unlocked two phones already including my HD2 and they don't care whose phone it belongs to.

All they ask for is the IMEI, the phone model, and an email address to contact you to send you the code. At first I got a confirmation email a day after calling, then the three days later they sent me the code.
[HD2 General] eyeisdasteve:
they dont look up account info?
[HD2 General] sanjinho:
just like he sad ebay... way to keep money in your pocket ;)
[HD2 General] iwin2000:
Not from my experience, I previously had a Samsung phone with TMobile and when I called them and told them I wanted to unlock an HD2 they didn't ask any questions and just asked for phone info. They even offered me free unlimited internet for a month as a promotional offer, lol.

Just make sure your bill is paid, they won't give you the unlock code if your bill is outstanding.

TMobile has some awesome service, I'm going to miss them. :(
[HD2 General] eyeisdasteve:
yea, i have an outstanding bill. i tried calling them and just saying i bought the phone off of someone. they said they needed the original owner to call them. guess ill just get 1 off ebay.

[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Try doubletwist. Plays mp4
[G Tablet General] Judo Jeff:
It's not really just a question of what player - it's a question of what 1080p mp4 files too. Tegra 2 is extremely limited in what it will play back in a 1080p mp4 so how the mp4 is encoded matters as well. I think I read somewhere that it's baseline profile only...and that's with hardware acceleration. Software only, I'm guessing that no file of that size will play - it's too many pixels to push around.

And Rockplayer is my mp4 player of choice (to the extent I actually registered for it to get rid of the ads and the R). In hardware mode, it doesn't bat an eye at my 720p mp4s in main profile.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
x2. If the 1080p video is encoded the right way, even the vanilla player will play it.

I've been using h263 1080p / 720p MP4's and they work well. Even some MKV's will work with the vanilla player, if encoded a certain way.
[G Tablet General] PsychoJon:
Any luck getting h264 1080p to play? Any specific software you recommend to convert files to appropriate encoding?
