Hello. I have a hopefully simple question.

I am debating whether to load onto the EMMC or SD. I am fully aware of the risk of EMMC and that is not part of my decision.

The only thing I am wondering is:

Which install version (SD or EMMC) typically results in better tablet performance in operation?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
There is not really any significant performance differences between the two, as long as you run the SD version on a good SD. That being said, emmc is more straight forward to install and maintain. Some get confused by the extra steps necessary to make the SD version work.

Few Problems

NOOB

I have been reading for weeks.

Have a NC.

I downloaded the lastest CM10 nightly.

Used .TWRP to flash

I flashed gapps JB-20121130.

I have forced stop of the keyboard.

I get random screen flash of a message

I think I have the wrong gapps zip?

Should I be using 20130301

A short background. I came here from a paid for sd. Rooted Paranoid Android. It was working very well ( from Dec 2012). I had it running for a few weeks. Decide to try the base CM10. Yeah I know why did I fix something that is not broken?

Well, I am not so sure I like the PA mod of the base CM10. I also have not seen what it does. and why do I need that version? Just to change DPI and Px?

So now I have CM10 with problems :)

Appreciate some advice. Yes I followed the OP and I read this entire thread as well as 4 or 5 others.

I would like a 'stable' CM10 and the gapps that match. I guess I have to go 4.0?

Thanks

RR

CM10 needs gapps-jb-20121011 or older. Newer ones are for CM10.1 and do not work on CM10.

Success Thanks

I have the NC up and running on the CM 10 -2-130414-nightly-encore.

Gapps jb-20121011

Installing the gapps was problem. I had to wipe/restore to factory rest. before I installed CM and the gapps.

I also installed TWRP 2.3.0.2-encore-1gb-sdimg.zip.

I do not know where that app ? is located to run it.

Is in on the boot screen PRESS N then select emmc restore?

I guess I could run it from the SD boot.

I want to thanks the experts on the user forums for all the guidance and advice.

eyeballer , fattire and leapinlar, your posts are great. Other experts offer their advice also

Thank you all

READ follow directions it just works. Well might have to try a 2 times to get it right.

Very pleased with the base version of CM10. I believe it runs better then the PA version I started with, not that there is anything wrong with PA build, I just like the plain DEV.

The reward for all your hard work has to come from the noobs like me, who get this running in 2 tries.

I did buy Titainuim Pro backup. I was able to restore all the apps I had running under PA dev.

I am sure I will have more questions..

EDIT OK figured out the backup - I thought correctly. Worked OK

Hi, I have been a member of XDA forum for a while and has been actively searching on this site when I got a NC last year. I followed the OP's original post to have CM7 installed on my NC. Until now, it seems like CM10 has quite stable versions that I want to upgrade to. I wonder the instructions posted specifically for updating in the original post applies well? I noticed the gapps versions that I installed with CM7 is older than the gapps for CM10 so I dont know if i need to get the gapps for CM10 too? also any backup needed?

The instructions in the first post looks very easy to update when it just needs the build file and rebooting in recovery to flash it.

I really appreciate if anyone can help and also Big Shoutout to all the FOLKS that makes this CM so amazing!
[Nook Color General] Starphish:
Let me suggest you go straight to CM10.1 for the NC here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2132299

You should flash gapps after flashng the ROM. Read the first page to get started. Once you've checked out the ROM, upgrade to the latest nightly (May 7 is working well for me). 10.1 followups to that thread.
[Nook Color General] jack man:
I just put the latest CM 10.1 on an old Nook color we had laying around. I put it on the emmc, not on sd card. Is everyone experiencing the laggyness that I am? Is there another version that would be smoother than this?

Recovery cant mount /cache

After trying to update from Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly to Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC3 my NC wont boot. I can get into cwm with your bootable sd but it cant open /cache or mount the sd card to flash files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[Nook Color General] excarnate:
There is an RC4, you may as well get that and confirm the MD5SUM.

I know in TWRP I had to tap Mount to select items to, well, mount. In CWM Recovery at the top menu, just above advanced, is mounts and storage, although I never had to fuss with it.

There is, of course, the ever popular starting from the beginning (redoing the card). Tip: Don't do step 12 after flashing gapps but rather before :)
[Nook Color General] tomudei:
Thanks for replying, but yes I've tried all that and started over multiple times. The SD card works just not properly after getting to recovery. Any other suggestions? Thanks again

I have a Nook Color with ver 1.4.3 and have been using a SD card to boot to CM 7.1. I know have use of the entire Nook and wanted to root the unit. Followed the instructions and did a recovery with CWM without any issue.

Took the same SD used to do the recovery and placed gapps and clockworkmod 7 and booted the Nook.

Finally noticed that I needed to change the file names on the boot disk:

"Rename your copy of the new uRecImg to uImage and replace the uImage file on the SD.

Rename your copy of the new uRecRam to uRamdisk and replace the uRamdisk file on SD."

Made these corrections and placed the revised 2GB SD into the Nook and started it.

Here is what I have on that disk"

[Nook Color General] servion:
I just used this entire guide to install CM10 on my NC. I used the cm-10.1.2-encore.zip (released 7/11 and marked as stable) along with the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip.

Once this is all done, I get stuck in a "the setup wizard isn't responding" loop. If I repeat the instructions without installing the gapps package, it boots fine (but obviously without the much-needed gapps). Am I using the wrong version of the gapps zip in conjunction with the 10.1.2 CM 1 stable version? Any help?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes that is the wrong version of gapps. You need gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip.

Wanted to say this is great guide and I just installed the CM10

I have the nook color.

I installed gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip and it said installed google play store

When it boots up i do not see the google play store

I even did a manual install of the google play store I see the icon but google play just keeps crashing.

Not sure what eles to do. Can someone please help
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You have to match the gapps version to the CM10 version. The 20130813 is for CM10.2. What version CM10 do you install?

[Nook Color General] Firehawk989:
Just wanted to say thanks for this guide!

Spent last night flashing and setting up my NC with CM 10.1.3, 20130812 Gapps, TWRP Recovery, and the Xposed mod for Netflix. Works great! No problems to report other than sometimes it's a bit slow playing Youtube videos and the like. Probably because it's old hardware.

The Nook now has a newer version of Android than my HTC Sensation! I should get around to flashing that soon. :D
[Nook Color General] Firehawk989:
A few minor issues I've noticed now:

It doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in. DSP manager settings for headset does nothing, but the speaker settings do affect the output to the headphones.

The max volume for the system speaker and the headphones is quite low.

Gmail closed a couple of times when going back to edit a draft message.

When taking a screenshot using power + vol down, it captures, but then comes up with an error saying "Couldn't save screenshot, storage may be in use."

only boots to recovery

Hello,

I think I followed the guide pretty well; created my bootable sd card, flashed CM (7.2.0 stable), gapps and recovery. But when I reboot, instead of booting into Cyanogenmod it boots into recovery. I've gone into the bootloaders menu and tried "normal" "alternate" and "recovery," all just boot into recovery. Happens whether I install CWM or TWRP. I assume this is the behavior it would do if there were no OS present, but like I said I just flashed CM. Also tried with CM10, same result.

Any ideas? I can't tell if I'm noobishly missing something obvious or what. I should also mention that I was mucking around before to get past a persistent "install failed" error, but I flashed a stock 1.0.1 ROM that booted successfully before I tried this.\

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Are you removing the SD when you boot? And what do you mean, mucking around?

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook Color General] balths:
Tried removing it, and formatting it and putting it back in per the OP. The Cyanogenmod bootloader (with its splash screen) comes up, it just doesn't actually boot CM.

Mucking around means I was trying to install various stock and CM roms, and eventually formatted every partition in CWM.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
That is your problem (formatting partitions). Did you format /rom? If you did, you need to flash a stock rom so that it puts the stock recovery back and boot to it so it can repair itself. Let me know how that goes and if not fixed, let me know.

Edit: Get a stock ROM from my NC Tips thread linked in my signature, item A15.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook Color General] balths:
Oh, wow. My /rom was completely empty. I have no idea how that happened, since /rom isn't even user accessible in CWM. I used your repair partition 2 script I found on another thread and managed to restore it. Flashed stock 1.4.3 to confirm everything was good, then flashed CM 10.1.3. Everything seems to work beautifully now. I don't know how that happened, but I'm glad it's fixed! Thanks!!

Apps Issue

Folks, I have been fighting an issue for a couple days getting my NC to properly load CM 10.1.3.2... I am pretty sure I am following the instructions to the letter, but when I boot up at the end of the process, I get a message "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." I can okay my way through it, but cannot get access to Google Play.

I am installing

CM 10.1.3.2,

gapps-jb-20121011-signed

update-Encore-cwm.emmc-eyeballer

I have done what I think are the appropriate wipe data/factory resets as per the original instructions.

I have a NC that is about 3 yrs old. It came with SW version 1.1. I loaded CM7 about 2 years ago, and wanted to update to CM10. Been fighting this for 2 days. I did a search on com.google and it came up blank. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. I may load one of the nightly builds and see if that works.

New version of gapps worked for me
[Nook Color General] knee deep in it:
ok, I am a dummy. I have spent hours and am no closer to resolving this.

I purchased two used Nooks. One, I figured out how to change users, everything is fine. The second unit only boots to a black screen with ANDROID glowing in lower left corner. There is a flashing curser after ANDROID. I followed the instructions in post one and managed to get it to boot to the sd card. I clicked on "instal" then wiped the nook.

Upon reboot without the sd card in it, it goes directly back to the flashing ANDROID screen. I can instal the sd card and repeat install but it seems that the instal is for running the operating system from the sd card.

All I want is a clean install. I hope to completely remove everything and start over. There i sno information on the nook that I want to keep. I would like to install CM7 and then run it from the internal memory so that I can use the sd card for media.

Where did I go wrong? Is there a thread that shows how to do a full re-instlal of the operating system?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read item 15. There are instructions there for getting back to stock.

And you say you have a "Nook". There are many different models of the Nook. Do you mean a Nook Color? If so this is the right thread. If not, this is the wrong place.
[Nook Color General] knee deep in it:

thanks for the direction. I am going to give it a try. I actually saw your thread but, by that time, I was friustrated and too discouraged to read the entire posting. I will go to item 15 and give it a shot
[Nook Color General] knee deep in it:
progress, I think

I followed the instructions and it now locks up with the letter N in the middle of the screen. There is small writing which says - contains reader mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated at the bottom.

No welcome screen. This appears to be the Nook color welcome screen but I cannot slide the N to the right in order to unlock it. It appears to be frozen, even if i reboot.

any ideas?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Did you flash the format zip like I instructed?
[Nook Color General] knee deep in it:
yes, and I figured it out. The return to stock left me in a locked mode stock nook. From this, I figured I could install CM7 cleanly so I followed the excellent instructions in your tips link.

All is good. I really did not want to know this much about android programming but it was the necessary process.

Thank you very much

Thanks very much for your excellent guide to install CM 7 on my new NOOK Color. I did the installation this morning the whole process completed without any hitch and bottlenck. NOOK color worked perfectly .

How do I update my recovery, once I have CWM 3.2.0.1 flashed on eMMC? Can I just download any of these?

http://techerrata.com/browse/nook/recovery

Or do I need a special recovery file?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It depends on what you want that new recovery for. Those recoveries at that link can only be used for flashing CM11 zips and corresponding gapps zips. Older zips cannot be flashed with those new recoveries. That 3.2.0.1 can be used for those.
[Nook Color General] spectheintro:
That's precisely what I want to do--flash CM11 on eMMC. Is this possible if I use one of those CWM zips? And to be clear, I can just flash one of those zips right from recovery, yes?

Is this a normal behavior on nook color?

Is there any way to make it use first that free partition?
[Nook Color General] hwong96:
The first generation nook color (model bnvr200) came partitioned with 5GB media/1 GB data. This allowed users to add 5 GB of their own media content and 1 GB of apps. Then B&N strategized and switched the partitioning scheme to 1GB media/5GB data thinking that users now will buy into their fenced in ecosystem of books and pricey apps. Users were not happy. For some time , a few years back, B&N would repartition the nook color from 1GB media/5GB data back to 5 GB media/1GB data to apease the consumer. I doubt B&N will do this now as the nook color has been out of production for quite some time. You will need to use a micro SD card (up to 32 GB) for your media content.
