Hey I installed v3.0.1.0 onto the sd card as an img exactually like they said and also did format of system,data,cache..and then flashed nookieoc version, unmounted sd card, pulled sd card out then did reboot, still nothing i just get a black screen..idk if its from installing an emmc version of HC, because they make you do a boot format and maybe that jacked it up..but idk where to go from here im really thinking just installing stock 1.1.0 clockwork recovery sideload version and starting from scratch., its weird also i do the HC emmc install and it boots up just fine everytime..weird is there any other versions that install emmc?
[Nook Color Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Did you try vplayer?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I believe when formatting /system, /data, /cache with CWM 3.0.1.0 in the "mounts and storage" it formats to ext4 partitions. This rom is ext2. The uRamdisk is trying mount ext2 partitions. Try using an older CWM image. 3.0.5.0 maybe, and format system, data, cache with it.

Not 100% sure. But that should fix it.

Thanks for this wonderful ROM! Only problems I have would be the wifi cycling on and off after leaving the Nook COlor idle for a bit, and also Citrix Receiver is having some issues accepting certificates from my work. That was working fine when I was on the Honeycomb ROM. Other than those two, everything is great!
[Nook Color Android Development] mikegonz:
Try doing a full uninstall of the youtube app, then re-installing the one from market. The market one here is working for me without a hitch. Wonder whats causing yours to fail :(

3.0.1 I believe formats the device correctly I believe, I use it to format going to and from any other ext4 rom to this or other froyo roms. The boot changes may have caused something funky, though I'm unsure. Maybe try samuelhalff's boot partition repair on his HCv4 thread?

Try turning the wifi sleep policy off to prevent cycling. If you're using the most current OC version the sleep policy "should" work correctly, and the non-OC shouldn't be having those issues otherwise I believe. When I do the next update, an OC version will most likely not be included. Users can refer to dalingrin's kernel thread along with a link the the current wifi fixed kernel in the current OC version
[Nook Color Android Development] silentbushido:
I'm not sure what happened, my previous install was eMMC HC v.4 - Second Edition, the process seems exactly the same like what I did, and you used the correct version of clockwork mod which was the one key thing that I experienced, that if you used anything earlier... then you would get stuck in the "android_" black screen for a long time and nothing. The only difference in steps is, I skipped the "unmounted sd card" procedure, I honestly just pulled out the microSDHC and did a system reboot and it worked.

This might be far fetched and I have no proof, can it possibly be the type of microSDHC you're using? I know for a fact that with the HoneyComb v.4 (deeper blue), that certain sd cards encountered different things. For deeper blue HC v.4, when I used an ADATA microSDHC it let me burn the image fine, but when I booted I got some "password encryption" type screen. But, when I burned the image to my Kingston 8GB class 10, it worked fine. I want to say it possibly might be your microsd? Try using another one for kicks and giggles, if you have another spare.

I used the Kingston 8GB class 10 with the image v3.0.1.0 and the NookieComb v.0.4.2. Good luck!

how do i put music on the music app?
[Nook Color Android Development] keda:
Anyway to remove custom HC font?

It's causing funny mixture of font display in Opera Mobile. :p
[Nook Color Android Development] avicoh12:
which one you recommend more OC or Stock?

love your roms , makes me forget sometimes that it is for books ;)

Edit: choose the OC works great , much faster (from 3.3..)

THANK YOU!
[Nook Color Android Development] fullthrottleenergy:
Create a new folder on the sd card named music and then just drag and drop the music there.

Use the 4/02 overclocked on. Works great. No wifi looping for me. Use setcpu to close it to 1100 and you can also set profiles for certain situations (battery under 50 = downclock to 800)
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
does it have to be on the sd card?
[Nook Color Android Development] silentbushido:
The NookColor is very specific on video playing and it seems it plays best with certain file formats, from my experience, playing around with the various sizes and file formats it can handle the settings below:

- resolution up 854 x 480

- baseline H.264 (MP4 Container)

- AAC Audio

- video bit rate at 1,100

Note: hence why you're .avi file had trouble playing on the NookColor.

I have very good results when I converted the the video files to the above settings, and please reference this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894165 it was very helpful, provides a file that you can import to HandBrake, that contains the video settings, the only thing is, you will have to fill in the video size (i.e, 848 x 480, I found is the most fluid display on NookColor's display and if you watch any videos with subtitle, you will need to go to the "Subtitle" tab, go to the drop down list and select the subtitle, and checkbox "Burn", which will print/burn the subtitles onto the video file)

I've also tried the above players that you mentioned, works great on other devices but not for the NookColor. The best player that I have experienced so far is "MoboPlayer" for the NookColor, it's free and you can get it from the Android Market. A friendly tip regarding MoboPlayer, since the NookColor has limited hardware regarding video playback, when you install MoboPlayer, go to settings and make sure to checkbox the setting for "Default Using Soft-Decoding".

Good luck!
[Nook Color Android Development] britoso:
Never had a problem with any random divx/xvid/mkv or other mpeg4 video file. Plays smooth with moboplayer and hardware decoding, the way it should.
[Nook Color Android Development] silentbushido:
What resolution size were you able to play? The thing is it does play those file formats addressed above, but the voice and video play don't sync up well and its not smooth. And if it does play, a FC prompts up. Just trying to figure out what the main difference in the setup you mention and comparable to others; if your configuration setup plays the way you mention, that means I can possibly skip the conversion setup?! I'm thinking it might be the way the video files are contained? Thanks for the help.

****Update/Edit: My fault, files that are resolution size XXXX x 720 won't work, trial and error on my part. But anything lower are equal to XXXX x 480 works, and it does play with hardware decoding (not as smooth, IMHO), but my preference would still be using soft-decoding loads up quicker. This is probably posted somewhere on the forums somewhere, sorry for re-posting this info here.
[Nook Color Android Development] britoso:
This comb skin keeps amazing me :)

Nice work mikegonz!

Only occassional bug is the black on black text on some lists.

I disabled 'Settings profiles' and the wifi cycling seems to have stopped, with the fixed OC kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] s13se:
Can someone re-up the launcherpro_backup.zip in the OP?

I think the website is down :(

Thanks!

Edit: Looks like its up again! thanks

Market v.2.3.6

I'm running the NookieComb v.0.4.2 OC, and somehow this past weekend I think they're was an upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6, currently I'm not able to view all my apps, i.e. can't see some of these apps ebay app, Bank of America, Chase bank, etc., I was able to view them before and somehow not anymore. Just wanted to see if anyone encountered this? And if so, did anyone find a remedy besides clearing out cache within apps Google Service Framework and clearing out cache in Android Market app? That didn't work for me, I also tried to format the cache within recovery. Any kind of help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] mervinminkey:
Thx for looking.
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
can someone upload the NookUMS apk?
[Nook Color Android Development] mikegonz:

Bump.

Just updated to version 0.4.13. Enjoy! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I'll be flashing roms all night! First phiremod updates and now nookiecomb update! Awesome work fellas! Thanks for all your hard work.
[Nook Color Android Development] MoCoTerp:
So far seems solid. Still have some issues with Crunchyroll and video playback. Seems Gallery crashes on video playback.

[Nook Color Android Development] kfree:
I'm having the same issues... can't find things like Dungeon Defenders, chase bank, etc.. wondering if the flags weren't properly set to identify this rom as a certain type of version of android or something.. any help?
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
Installed 413 and having some issues with (not FC's) but for example, the Pulse app just closes back to the home screen without any message. I'm doing a fix permiss to see if it makes a diff and will report back, no problem with previous versions of nookiefroyo.

permissions fixed the Pulse closing problem...
[Nook Color Android Development] bratten2121:
Wifi issues?

is anyone else having wifi issues after flashing this rom?..my wifi keeps dropping in out instantly, it wont even stay connected for 2.45 seconds =P was there a fix for this a longtime ago?...i need help please respond
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Just a suggestion. But when wifi is trying to connect. Go to Maps. And zoom in and drag it around a bit. That seems to get wifi to stick for me when it acts up sometimes.
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
same here, apps missing from market as well. -fixed.
[Nook Color Android Development] avicoh12:
just flashed your rom and i'm verry happy with the whole series

only few issues

1.after mount/unmount of the sd card or connecting to pc the nook dies /operates very slowly

2.can you change the Build.prof so it will always show all the tablet programs ?

3.mail'd- every time i try to save file from my email - force close

Gmail- cant "save" files - only preview

basically i can't get files from my emails

and when i try to download files via the browser from filesharing sites like rapidshare or filesonic

the files are not being downloaded with the correct name or size ,

why is that ? (im trying to download pdf files )
[Nook Color Android Development] martied:
Thanks for a great rom :) I just wanted to know how i could change the keyboard to Gingerbread one? I usually go into settings and language and keyboard and choose what i like.. If i choose Gingerbread I still get the white NI keyboard.

Also is there anyway way to use 802.11 radius authentication. Schools in our state / country use it and was hoping to use nook at school.

Thanks for any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
I ran into the stuck keyboard too...

I haven't played with this much, but from the short time I've tinkered, it's been good. But right now CM7 is calling my name-- but will definitely go back to this if I decide CM7 isn't for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
I was on cm7 after first trying this excellent rom. Mikegonz won me back. bluetooth is calling me though for keyboard support. What I like the best is the notifications. Much more refined then cm7. If this customized rom could be applied to cm7 it would be perfect.

thank you for this rom!
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Loving nookie comb!

So... I've gone through all the flavors of Android and then some (HC v2, CM7 sd/emmc, Nook Fro, and now I'm back to a dual boot of Stock BN 1.1 for the excellent reader functionality and of course Nookie Comb for the tab side.. when it comes to speed, stability, battery life, and style, this is it. :cool:

Why I don't like CM7? Its a memory hog, so even adwlauncher was glitchy for my set up (no lag in Nook Comb), and the battery life sucks. No doubt the dev for it is great and it will continue to progress; however, the BT function is a plus, except I don't really have a need for it that badly.

Things I would LOVE to have fixed in Nookie Comb (sort of a wishlist):

Fix the video issue where hardware accelerated video would only play in portrait after playing a couple videos (tested in VEVO & moviefone)

Permanent fix the wifi disable/enable loop bug when setting wifi to sleep on standby (workaround if you have this issue is to change wifi to never sleep)

Add BT functionality by a kernel update so it works like CM7

Enhanced tablet support -similiar to CM7's tablet tweaks thread

All my friends ask me if I'm carrying around the Ipad 2 and I tell them, no it's something better. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
I second your list.

For video though, how does mobo player behave for you? It works excellent for me and I've not run into any issues. I assume you prefer the other players.

the wifi loop. I hate this one. I often put the nook to sleep in meetings and wake it only to have to go to settings, turn off wifi, and turn it back on again to pick up a fresh ip and avoid the boot loop. It doesn't take too long but still annoying.

I really wish bt would/could be added, what are the chances? bt keyboard and wii remote support are very nice.

I agree this rom is the fastest and most stable out there.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
I've tried them all... but mobo seems to be the most stable for accelerated ffmpeg (mp4) and for soft decoding with decent ~23fps, and it has the best interface. It's like mplayer interface with rockplayer's functionality. After the device is on for a while or if I play different hardware accelerated mp4 videos back to back, I run into the weird video playing only in a squeezed portrait issue, which is curable with a reboot but is annoying. This doesn't happen in CM7 since the video actually follows the device's orientation sensor.

Go to wifi settings, click menu, advanced, and change the wifi sleep policy to never and you won't have the wifi loop issue. The battery will drain slightly faster but not really all that noticeable. Hopefully dalingrin will fix it after he takes his finals... lol

Bluetooth should be a not so distant reality since the devs just need to backport it for Froyo... but I don't know if that will happen since most devs like the CM7 flavor better.

Another issue in Nook Comb is the locations service does NOT work for me on wifi. In CM7 it found my locations almost instantly through the wifi network and using google map and places were a breeze, but not in NComb for some reason. Any dev can answer this???
[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
Was using regular Froyo for a while and to fix the wifi issue, all I did was flash an older kernel. Look it up in the kernel thread. You lose the interactive governor, but wifi is very stable and it's still overclocked.
[Nook Color Android Development] effinay:
remove launcherpro?

How can I uninstall the launcherpro version that came included in this rom? I bought LP a while back and would like to use the market install so that I get updates.

When I try to install it straight from the market on top of the one included in the rom, I get a 'package not signed correctly' error.

EDIT:

I tried using ADB uninstall, but I get a failure. Then I moved the mikegonz-HONEYCOMB-LauncherPro-0.8.3.0.apk out of /system/app and then tried to install LP by issuing adb install LauncherPro-0.8.5.apk. The error I got then was Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE].

So I copied the orginal APK back into /system/app and then issued adb install -r LauncherPro-0.8.5.apk. Then I got this error: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]

So am I stuck with this old version?
[Nook Color Android Development] effinay:
... and also... what do I need to do to get all the market apps to show up? I'm missing things like Dolphin Browser, Weatherbug, and google talk
[Nook Color Android Development] bachviet:
Install ADW first since you need a launcher before removing LP. Then use Titanium Backup to remove LauncherPro.
[Nook Color Android Development] effinay:
So.. I did that. Backed up the LP that was on there. Then uninstalled it using Titanium Backup. It showed successful.

Then I tried to download/install the market version of LP and the installation fails with "Incompatible Update."

???
[Nook Color Android Development] neodorian:
Yeah, I have the same issue. I went to about:config and tried to change the fonts but I haven't gotten rid of the random Honeycomb letters on every page :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
As far as I know all lower level development for Froyo has stopped. What is left is mostly cosmetic changes. I have no plans to backport changes to Froyo. Perhaps someone else will backport the changes but in my opinion it would be a waste of resources. I think the only real complaint against CM7 is the standby battery life. That should be fixed in fairly short order with 2.6.32. If someone has the know how to backport the above mentioned changes to Froyo then they should help with 2.6.32 instead. =)
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Your 3/13/11 CM7 kernel works froyo and with a couple of changes to init.rc the bluetooth works. It also fixes some of the wifi issues as well. I would be interested in helping out dalingrin with 2.6.32. I will have some free time on my hands after 5/10.
[Nook Color Android Development] 0ryn:
Cant boot, black screen :(

Hi, I downloaded your 0.4.13 zip, flashed using cwm 3.0.1.0, but alas black screen

Any idea where I'm going wrong.

Dunno if this has anything to do with it, but every time I format /boot cwm freezes - is this normal ?
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
That sounds great, Brian. I suppose CM7 is the future but if somehow you can help with the new kernel dev and maybe backport the changes to Froyo that would be awesome since I'm sure many of us are still liking our froyo. Dalingrin's work is incredible and I wish I had the know how to code and help with side projects but alas I'm more of a tester than a dev. Anyhow, you guys rock for your work and genius!
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
It is not advisable or even necessary to format /boot when flashing this ROM. If you're wanting to replace stock to Nook Comb then format /system and /data like the instructions, then flash the ROM. If you're seeing a black screen chances are you messed up the boot partition on emmc and the only way you're getting into CWR is through the SD CWR.

Here's what you need to do:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690&highlight=boot

Option 2: try #5 to restore /boot

Then get back into CWR, format /system, /data, /cache, then flash Nook Comb again and it should work.
[Nook Color Android Development] Masterface7:
I think an equally big complaint is the loss of the nook color stock reader.
[Nook Color Android Development] xKLoWNx:
Just Flashed This!!!!! Im pretty much speechless, this runs so nice on my nook the best rom i flashed yet and i have been through a bunch. Thank you dev for all your hard work and time getting this rom running. Great Work!!

:D :D :D :D
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Yep.. I feel the same way. CM7 is great, but not as smooth as this. Flash my BT kernel and you'll be even happier. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] xKLoWNx:
Awesome i will be flashing this kernel here in a few. Do i just need to "wipe cache partition" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and then flash the kernel? Thanks!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Flash it, then clear cache and dalvik, restart (it'll be slow to rebuilt davlik) and should be done. Try activating BT now. After flashing any new kernel you will want to manually forget any wifi network you've previously connected to, restart and reconnect (it helped solved some of my problems). Also, you might need to re-install flash.

One issue that's kind of good and bad about this kernel is that I noticed sometime the device will turn off after a long time on standby ("sleep death"). I don't know why but it's kind of a good thing cause it actually extends battery life like an auto-off function. You might not like it and decide to revert back to the non-BT kernels from Dalingrin.
[Nook Color Android Development] Pinoy8125:
Will this work? I am planning to flash the non-overclocked nookie comb and then flash Dalingrin's latest overclock kernel. Will this fix the "sleep death" mentioned above post?
[Nook Color Android Development] Rhegaana:
Im very interested in trying nookie comb but I have a couple of questions. Is this developed specifically for landscape orientation or can you use it in portrait without looking weird? and it seems this also suffers from the sleep of death or is it specific to the individuals nook's ie kernel version, bad flash etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
The sleep of death seems to be kernel related, but I haven't done enough testing to be 100% positive. Yes, you can flash any OC kernels on top of this install.
[Nook Color Android Development] Pinoy8125:
I'm running the overclocked version. I noticed that Opera Mobile browser has different font style. any fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] Rhegaana:
Thanks for the response. Im coming from CM7 stable and currently on Nookie Froyo. CM7 is smooth, fast and stable, but the battery sleep drain was a big issue for me. NF is not as fast and comes with its own set of issues, but I rather get sleep of death rather than battery drain.
[Nook Color Android Development] rfrogman:
Thank you for the lasted build. I love Nookie Comb 0.4.13!!!!!.

I did have an issue with HBO's new HBO Go app since it was looking for IMEI #. I found another thread JUSTWORKS UPDT 4/23/2011 Swype official beta working on NC CM7/IMEI Spoof with and easy fix to the framework.jar file. Worked like a charm. Now I can watch my favorite HBO show streamed to my Nook Color (wifi only of course).
[Nook Color Android Development] Lord_of_Tech:
Launcher Pro setting alternate site?

Anyone have a mirror for the launcher pro settings file?

MediaFail says I don't have permissions to access that file.

All the other files in the OP on MediaFail work however.

Really looking forward to trying out this ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] Leimi:
Hi guys,

This ROM is great :)

Is there any way to have another langage than English on the ROM? I installed MoreLocale2 and most apps are now in French, but can't manage to have the system and, most importantly, a keyboard with a French dictionnary.

Apart this major issue, here is my feedback:

With the default kernel (non OC), I have the "sleep of death" from time to time but I prefer that over a draining battery from CM7. When I don't use the tablet, the battery really doesn't suffer a lot and that's really great :)

I noticed that lots of apps that I imported from my phone with Titanium Backup directly FC. Most of this apps work in fullscreen (eg fruit ninja, angry birds...). I just uninstalled and reinstalled the apps through the market and everything is now OK :)

The system is globally fast, just like CM7, and the theme is really slick!
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Anyway we can get a Nookie Comb based upon the released BN 1.2 codes with 2.69.32.9 kernels?? I'm running CM7 but I still love the responsiveness and look of Nookie Comb... :)
