IMEI Generator to the Rescue

To get HBO GO working you need to use IMEI Generator. This Windows based app will generate an IMEI number, extract your framework.jar file, patch your framework.jar file, and then push the modified framework.jar file to your Nook.

IMEI Generator requires that you have ADB installed on Windows. This program works like a charm for me. YMMV.

I just finished installing everything on a brand new Nook Color, but I'm having horrid performance problems. Specifically:

1. Scrolling looks to be 1-2 fps, painful to look at

2. The touch screen response seems to be a little bit haywire. Swipe gestures are frequently read as touches (clicks), and some smaller buttons like the market search feature seem to be borderline impossible to hit, even when mashing all around them.

I had a rooted nook color with a stock-ish android install a few months back and I don't recall having any problems like this. The device is completely unusable now. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it? Is this the kind of performance others are seeing? I've been using an android phone with cyanogen for years, but I've never seen performance problems like this on any device.

I'm experiencing the same issue on my NC and I'm running nightly #208.
[Nook Color General] obarthelemy:
Thanks

Just installed CM7 to my brand new Nook today (Oct. 7, 2011), thank you for a very clear guide. Everything seems to be running well.

A couple of remarks:

- the CM nightly listed in the original post is no longer available. I got the latest one from http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/nightly/encore/

- ditto for gapps, the link is broken. I took the MDPI Universal for CM7 available in the table, at the very top, at http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

Thanks a lot
[Nook Color General] therkr:
Great to see this still works as good.:) I'm gonna get my Nook next month!

If only there were such a straightforward guide for honeycomb. :p
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Thanks, updated the gapps link, not sure why they've disabled the latest link. Mirrors in OP for the nightly work fine for me?
[Nook Color General] DaveZ_PDX:
Later Nook + Rel 203 = 'incompatible device' for apps - use nightly

I did the install here (along with the utube instructs) and although I'd never used any of these tools worked like a champ. So thanks all, I'll be dropping some coins in the bucket.

Meanwhile - rel 203 + gapps 20110613 did not allow install of google maps, Poynt etc. Fix was to upgrade to latest -first I did Nightly 207 as someone else was running. First time did not wipe cache, gapps were still installed & did not work still. Second time used Rom Mgr, remembered to wipe cache, installed without gapps, rebooted into CWM & installed gapps 0828 and re-inited gapps, all was great.

BTW, I assume plain CM7 is not overclocked? Amazing how uch faster & smoother the NC is with plain 'droid. Awesome work. I know how MUCH work this has been being an old-school (C++) dev myself.
[Nook Color General] rknight68:
I installed everything from the OP on my cousins NC, a refurbished from bens outlet for 160. The facebook app constantly FCs. Updated lcd to 160, screen is not completely responsive but it worked. After I left, she turned off screen and now it won't power up, suggestions for when I pick it up?
[Nook Color General] scoobysnacker:
1st off, thanks for posting a concise and easy guide to installing to emmc. I'd been running off the sd card using verygreen's directions, and felt it was time to make the move. I think my card was going bad or something-- it was starting to reboot into the stock Nook os randomly.

Performance-wise, it was a good decision. Everything is snappier (I had been running @ 800 mhz); plus I still get to keep my choice of OS. However, I'm finding some serious issues (looking for help on these)-

battery usage- running off sd card, I could leave it turned on and unplugged for a couple days and it would still have some juice in the tank. Now, I'm lucky if it can get 8 hrs. That's booted, not charging, and sitting on my desk at home while I'm at work- dead as a doorknob when I get in.

related- the screen would actually got to sleep while on sd, now it seems to fade out but not go black (gonna guess this is what eats the battery). I held the power button to put it to sleep, but couldn't wake it. Had to plug it back into the charger.

more related- running off sd card, I WAS able to charge using standard microUSB cable plugged into desktop, and also my phone car charger. (this is not mistaken, I did it for over 3 months). Now the device no longer charges (or more specifically it discharges faster than it charges). How do I restore that?

Are there some settings I can enter that will address this? I'm using nightly 211.

edit-- Ok, it looked like I figured out the primary issue- I can now put the Nook to sleep myself by clicking the power button. Have not had any further issues of it not waking back up (fingers crossed), and doing so addresses all the corresponding power issues.

Follow Directions and still no luck

I have a nook color rooted and with cm7 on it. I have not updated it since root and flashing cm7 since March of 2011. Yesterday I flashed a the most recent cm7 nightly on my nook. I downloaded the file onto my sd card and flashed it through recovery. I get the cm7 logo upon boot and then a blank screen. I tried power cycling, removing the battery, and every possible unbricking procedure on xda. I just tried the method on this thread and followed the directions exactly. Burned the CWM to the sd card using win32diskimager, copied the zips, powered off the nook and placed the sdcard in it and rebooted. Still the same result. :( Any help would be greatly appriecated.
[Nook Color General] oppy:
I had the same problem. Turns out Facebook looks for a GPS location when it loads, so you need a fake GPS app running to make it work (I'm now at the south pole :D).

Also, if you use a recent nightly, or 7.1 stable, the screen resolution issue is fixed.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Updated to reflect CM 7.1.0 stable!
[Nook Color General] vlad-mal:
Thanks, eyeballer!:)
[Nook Color General] Bryon15:
Does N64oid work on the latest stable version of cyanogenmod?

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip

I'm asking because it doesn't seem to work on my 177 nightly version.
[Nook Color General] Bryon15:
Nevermind. I just installed it. N64oid still doesn't work :(
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Can't find the thanks button so here ya go... :)
[Nook Color General] darien87:
Seriously......?

You were able to find the reply button but not the thanks button?
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Seriously. I don't see a thanks button till post#144.
[Nook Color General] darien87:
Well, now you know so thank away!!
[Nook Color General] BASIC!:
Wow! I installed this CM7 thingy. I am impressed. It is much better than the other method that I used.

One point, probably already mentioned, but...

On the initial screen for setting up the Google account, pressing menu does not provide access to setting up a WiFi. It provides access to setting up wireless network connect.

I found that I had to give my user name and password and let it try to register. After it failed, then I was asked if I would like to try WiFi.
[Nook Color General] Temetka:
That was the same procedure I had to go through as well.
[Nook Color General] iamjudge:
First time I modded anything was from here...thanks a million...very helpful
[Nook Color General] davidreyes13:
I just want to state that following these steps have been MUCH easier than the other methods I have been trying with installing CM7 to my Nook. While the installation went by fine, Ive been having issues with the internet ever since I installed CM7. I keep getting Cant establish a reliable data connection to server when trying to add my google account, when I open the browser it takes minutes to load up the home page if it does at all since for the most part I just get web page not available error.

I thought it was the router so I power cycled everything, even reset my password on the Router and I'm still having the problem. My laptop, cell phone aren't experiencing these problems so I'm lost at what to do next?

Any help would be GREAT.

I did install CM7 from a fresh factory reset Nook Color, I did not update the Nook before installing.
[Nook Color General] davidreyes13:
A bit of an update

I installed the latest nightly to see if that would fix my internet connection issue but it did not. I turned off the UNPNP on my router this seemed to work a bit since afterwards I was actually able to download a speed test app but after a couple of minutes the browsing speed and sporadic connection came back.

I still have no idea what is causing the sporadic connection and horrible browsing speed/lack of conection.
[Nook Color General] hp2point0:
Wont Boot

I wrote the files to the mini SD card. When I insert it into the Nook the Nook wont even power on. When I take the card out and then try and boot the Nook it will turn on. This is a stock Nook running 1.3.0. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Bad image. Do it again.
[Nook Color General] TaurianQueen:
New to Nook Color

I bought my Nook Color in September only to find out in November that they were going to come out with the Nook Tablet...Boy do I feel like I got the shortest straw...

I wanted to say thank you very much! I haven't yet rooted my NC yet but am going to do so today. I just finished downloading all the necessary .zip files for the rooting.
[Nook Color General] tjupille:
Dont feel bad. After nine months of rooted stock, I finally got around to putting CM7.1 on mine; with that, I really don't see that the Tablet has got that much more to offer. The NC does everything I need/want perfectly adequately.
[Nook Color General] Snoshrk:
Don't feel bad...I read somewhere that the Nook Tablet's boot loader is LOCKED :eek:
[Nook Color General] kwanbis:
Excellent guide.

Only one doubt:

You first say:

[*]Format the sdcard in your computer as fat32 (or use another sdcard) and put it back in the nook and then press reboot system. (CM7 requires the use of an sdcard for storage - thanks pmilford for the tip)

and then you say:

[*]Now you can format the sdcard to use as a storage card in your nook.

What you mean is that CM7 needs the sdcard once for the initial setup and then it can be re-formatted for storage, or is this an error on the guide?

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] craigkal:
You need to format the SD card in your computer to FAT32 so that it just becomes a blank SD card. If you don't format it in your computer and you put it in the Nook, next time you turn the Nook on it will try to boot to the SD card since it has the Clockwork Mod image on it still.

After it's a blank FAT32 card you put it in the Nook. The Nook now needs to format it again into a file system that it can understand and use for storage.
[Nook Color General] JebusCL:
I would like to add a few steps if you are looking to migrate your CM7x installation from sdcard to the emmc memory:

- Before starting the steps on this guide, download and install Titanium Backup from the Market.

- In Titanium Backup go to Batch and run the option 'Backup all user apps + system data'

- Copy the Titanium Backup folder found in the SDCard to your computer

- Now follow the Guide in this thread

- After the installation go to the market and install Titanium Backup

- Copy the Titanium Backup folder from your computer to your SDCard

- In Titanium Backup go to Batch and run the option 'Restore missing apps + all system data'

- Done! now you have your CM installation on your eMMC and without losing any data or application.

Hope this helps someone

Regards

have been running cm 7.1 stable for one month and I'm getting massive standby battery drain and even worse a few hard freezes

i just want a stable version and don't want to update a lot at this point unless its to ICS
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
The standby battery drain is probably because you have wifi set to never turn off. You can save battery by changing that to turn off when screen is off. Go to settings, wireless & networks, Wifi settings, menu, advanced, wifi sleep policy, and select "when screen turns off". Of course that means you have no wifi for background stuff with screen off. But it does save on battery.

The hard freezes are what's called "Screen of Death", or SOD. It is because you have wifi on with the screen off. It is a bug. If you set the wifi as described above, it will get less SODs, but you will still have them. There is a temporary fix that is discussed in great detail in the [User] CM7 General Discussion thread.
[Nook Color General] HDLow42:
This was incredibly easy. I have only rooted an old Samsung Intercept and more recently my wife and my own Evo 4G. I would have to say the Nook process was the easiest of the bunch.

I have had no issues with anything so far while running cm7.1. A big thanks for the layout of the process.
[Nook Color General] butler360:
You rooted your wife? :eek:
[Nook Color General] Yadah:
The only Mac guy :(

What tools would I use to do this using a Mac instead of a Windows machine?
[Nook Color General] imjimmy:
Thanks for this great guide. By far the easiest instructions I've found anywhere.

I have a stock Nook with 1.1 firmware and am about to flash with CM7 in a few minutes.

1) Do I need to ROOT the device first? In other words, should I used Auto Nooter 3.0 before following this guide? What do I lose if I don't root the Nook and flash CM7 directly.

2) Will the flashed CM7 nook still have the stock B&N reading app? Will I still be able to borrow ebooks from libraries.

Sorry if this has already been asked. Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color General] merrill77:
Wow, that was easy!

Compared to rooting the NC back in December, this was cake! Thanks for writing this up. I had been researching the various steps when I came across this post that pulled it all together for me.

Thanks again!

Chris
[Nook Color General] jmeuphonium:
Removed post, figured out the problem.
[Nook Color General] Deaks2:
I believe Market and other GAPPS won't appear unless you're on a wifi network.
[Nook Color General] jabrams:
Thanks for the guide but i have one question. What is clockworkmod.zip? You dont mention it anywhere in the step by step except in #4 of what order to install the files. What is it used for and where fo i get it? Dont ilI already have clockwork on my bootable sd and it will be installed when i install cm7?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] Deaks2:
That's if you want to install CWM to the internal memory. You can also do it from within ROM Manager within Android (1st option in the app)
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
Just wanted to report back and say this was totally painless and much, much easier than my old auto-nooter root I did back in Dec.

Thanks very much!
[Nook Color General] jabrams:
What do u mean install CWM to the internal menory??? Shouldnt it automatically be installed via cm7??
[Nook Color General] nopebuddy:
I followed these instructions to install CM7 to eMMC. Previously I had stock on the eMMC and was running Honeycomb off a uSD card. I successfully boot into CM7, getting things set up there, so it seems a success there.

However, on powerup, the B&N "Touch the Future of Reading" banner is still visible during the booting process...just before I get to the CyanogenMod graphic. Is this typical behavior? If not, what'd I do wrong?
[Nook Color General] anonim1:
It's typical, don't worry about it. As long as you eventually boot into CM7, you're good.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
The only step that would be different for the Mac is how you "burn the sd card" if you look at the auto-nooter guide the light blue area has steps for the mac to burn an sdcard, just replace the auto-nooter stuff with the cwm sd (http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting)

1) No, as mentioned in the intro, no previous rooting is needed with this device

2) You'll have to use the Nook app from the market. I believe the only things you lose vs the stock nook is newspapers and magazines.

You can do this, however the current CWM from ROM manager does not include the updated kernel for recovery so flashing the zips, or the manual install through adb is preferred.

No, recovery is separate and must be installed separately to the ROM.
[Nook Color General] imjimmy:
Thanks very much for the quick response. Much appreciated!

Was waiting for the confirmation, and now I am about to take the plunge into CM7!!!
[Nook Color General] Disastajoe:
This is awesome! Thanks!
[Nook Color General] migrax:
Can I, as a course of action, add Dalingren's OC kernel even after a few days of using CM7 or would I need to install it via the whole process. I'd do it just to find out but my wife has made some headway in Angry Birds Rio and I don't want to erase her progress.

Great ROM guys, thanks again.

migrax
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
You can add the kernel at any time (or never at all) by copying the kernel .zip to your sdcard (the one already in your nook) then follow the instructions in the epilogue to boot into clockworkmod to flash the kernel. Before you flash the kernel make sure to wipe cache and maybe also make a backup in clockworkmod too.

Also, to save app status, i.e. angry birds progress, you can use an app such as My Backup Root (free) or Titanium Backup (both free and pro) to save the app+data, which can then be restored later.
[Nook Color General] Yadah:
Does Dalingren's OC kernel give me better performance on the nook? And I can use it with CM7 or should I say do I need it with CM7? From my understanding I am already overclocking with CM7 so what extra will Dalingren's OC kernel give me?

Oh and can I use the new kernel and all the benefits on an SD Card? I didn't install to the EMMC
[Nook Color General] migrax:
Does installing the Dalingrin's OC Kernel need anything to turn on the overclok or is it on by default if you turn the Nook/CM7 on once installed?

sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but this seems like a good place to ask this.

migrax
[Nook Color General] Yadah:
Once you install the new kernel just go into CM7 settings and under CPU you can change the speeds there.

Cyanmogen Mod Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings
[Nook Color General] SophT:
I'd like to know how this was resolved as I'm facing the same issue. No G-apps, and I can't add a google account in the setup wizard as I always get "can't establish a reliable data connection" - I have data turned off, and am connected to wifi (I can go to gmail.com and log in).

I tried to do this advice from this thread - but rommanager says that CWM needs to be installed first - which I thought I did when I flashed the standalone zip during the install.

I'm going crazy here trying to figure this out!

edit: also selecting 'reboot into recovery' doesn't work, it just reboots like normal...
[Nook Color General] HDLow42:
That was a typo, she was rooted well before I met her.
[Nook Color General] Scarab1:
Process worked great - thank you!

I've been running CM7 v7.0.3 from mSD since I got my Nook Color in May and finally decided a week ago to move to eMMC. I followed eyeballer's process and had no problems at all. Thank you for the clear and complete directions.

But the market does not work for me despite the different versions. now I have the 3.3.1

It starts but when trying to install an application closes and sets:

The application Market (com.android.vending process) is interrupted unexpectedly. Try again

always put the same

Thanks for the help

Nook long press issue

Hello,

I have a Nook Color with CM7. I haven't had ANY issues since I originally installed CM7 and even after I updated to 7.1...until recently. A small issue but annoying. The long press on the home screen to get wallpaper\widget\shortcut menu isn't coming up. No long press at all and I can't remove or move any icons on the screen. It's like it's locked but for the life of me I can't find the control or menu option to change this...Please help.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Just press menu on the home screen and more. It should say unlock desktop. Just tap it. It's a toggle.
[Nook Color General] potticus:
Just a hint from my experience, if you have the 2-step verification on the Google Account it won't log you in, you have to disable it. I managed to get all the way to the google account before wanting to slam my head into my desk. After I got that turned off it was a breeze.

Thanks a lot man!!! Very much appreciated.
[Nook Color General] pdahiker:
Works great for those coming from Phiremod

Thanks Eyeballer for the concise and accurate instructions. I was coming from Phiremod 6.2.

I followed all steps using a dedicated SD card that I keep for booting new versions to the Nook. Before the install, I backed everything up with Titanium, copied the original storage SD card, then formatted it. Once I had CM7.1 installed, I copied only the Titanium backup folder to the new SD card, and then used that to re-install my applications. Everything went 100% without a hitch, except for audio.

After the installation my headset and speaker audio was about 50% of what it was with Phiremod, and the DSP Manager didn't seem to do anything.

Adding Dalingrin's Nook Tweaks fixed the audio DRAMATICALLY and now I have way more level than ever on my Nook Color, and it works on every audio app I have.

Double thanks to everyone involved with CM7.1 - this is by far the best version of Android I've tried!
[Nook Color General] Steviebaby:
Thanks for this great guide. I want to root my new Nook color I just updated to 1.4.1 . Is this the guide i should be following. Thanks alot.

Will wiping data/factory reset in Clockwork as suggested kill the 8 failed reboot factory restore?

That restore had been my go to since I am having serious issues getting my nook to load using the 1.0 stocks and 1.2 stock roms available. They always get stuck in a boot loop when using those.
[Nook Color General] cadis12:
Took the plunge and followed this guide using my Nook Color updated with 1.4.1. Worked like a charm! I did have to download the Nook Color Screen Re-calibration app in the market and run that. My screen was very jittery when moving stuff around. App fixed my problem. CM7 on the Nook Color is pretty damn good!
[Nook Color General] mmark66:
Same here. Got my NC for x-mas, used CM7.1 on a SD card for two days and finally flashed it to the emmc.

This is awesome!

Thanks a lot,

I just got a new NC and want to root ASAP. Do I need to boot it first and register with BN? I’m afraid that if I connect WiFi it will download latest update from BN. Or I can just root it out of the box?
[Nook Color General] DroidAlien:
I was following a video from early last year and downloaded the older CWM. That landed me in a bootloop. This cleared everything up.
[Nook Color General] pdrift:
@ alex800 im not sure if you need to register 1st or not, but it wouldn't hurt so i'd just go ahead and do it to be safe.
