Saturday, I did a clean reinstall of NC 1.2 and MN 4.6.16. before installing any other apps, I sync'd the calendar (not Touch Calendar) and then added and event. It didn't update on my gmail acct. I also tried the My Calendar calendar and it didn't either. I was hoping that another app was causing the issue.

Adding an event to the Google Calendar in a web browser does get sync'd on the NC...

Touch Calendar acts the same since it uses the underlying Calendar.

I guess I'll just live with it for now. The only workaround is to add the event through the Google Calendar in a web browser. Unhandy if you are not in a wifi hotspot.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
You need to go into your gmail account and enable "Accounts & sync settings" This may explain why your calendar sync goes only one way (from Gmail to NC) and not the other way.

Get Home Switcher for Froyo to re-choose what the 'n' button does.
[Nook Color Android Development] tinpanalley:
Well, thank you, that was really helpful. My only questions now are:

1. Why would I choose an 8GB over a 16GB card? Just for storage of media?

2. Does it matter whether a SanDisk microSD is "HC" or not?

3. How do I know what options there are that work well? Usually here in phone forums you'll see tons of ROMs but which are the 2 or 3 that work flawlessly?

4. Are any ROMs actually stock tablet ROMs or are they all built from launchers like ADW?

Thanks guys!

I have a question on step 7

Under step7, When CWM boots select the update using your Volume Keys and n button:

1. install zip from sdcard (Volume up 4 times, then n)

2. choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)

3 manualnooter-4-x-x.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)

4. Confirm that you really want to run the update.

Selecting this indicates that you take responsibility for your own actions.

What do you meant by selecting this indicates ? I can see that there are four steps to select, which one should i perform ?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
You have to do ALL 4.

I've got a strange one and I know I have seen this mentioned in one of the two dozen or so threads I have read on rooting the Nook, but can't seem to find the answer again.

This week, I rooted using ManualNooter and everything worked great after a couple of initial hiccups/learning curves. I tried out 4 or 5 different ROMs and loved every one of them. I was running MIUI 1.7.22 but decided that I missed the native NOOK functionality when visiting B&N so I nandroided back to MN 4.6.16. No problems there, had everything working fine for several hours. I re-installed a bunch of my app backups via TB and rebooted.

Now I have been stuck on this boot animation screen for over two hours.

This is what I have tried:

Replaced my 8GB microSD card with my 4GB CWM boot card and followed the original method from step one. Everything works as far as recovery and flashing MN 4.6.16, but still doesn't get passed the boot animation.

Booted into recovery using the CWM boot card and did a complete factory reset x2, plus wiped all data manually. Then reflashed MN 4.6.16, rebooted and same issue.

Tried putting my 8GB card back in, rebooting and pressing the "N" hard button to get into recovery/boot, but it skips right to "Read Forever" and on to the animation and same issue.

Replaced neither card and held the "N" button down while pressing power. It took a loooong time, but it eventually booted directly into CWM. Ran all of the same processes from here (wiped, applied various ROMs, etc.) but still same issue.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get past the final frame of the boot animation. Any other ideas??

Update: I got it all working again after wiping and wiping and wiping some more and loading everything from ROMs to backups. But sadly, I am back in the same boat again today. A reboot brought me this misery again.

I am guessing it has to do with restoring apps from TB. (Inadvertently restored two with data.) So now I am trying everything again, but it is a very long process. Anyone have a better way/suggestion?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Note: I have Clockworkmod in memory rather than on an external card.

Won't help you now, but if you put a data/music/video card in the SDcard slot. Download ROM manager, run it, and make your "nandroid" backup right before experimenting with the other ROMS. This way it is complete and you will not need Titanium Backup. I do use Titanium Backup to install apps only when experimenting with other ROMS with exception of apps like Opera where I want the configuration restored so I can view Hulu videos. In this limited situations I will use apps + data.

Make sure in first Recovery option you see Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1 or later. If not, press this option to get current version.

Scroll down to Backup and Restore. Choose Backup Current ROM. To the Backup Name dialog I add MN1.2 to the date and time as a suffix. Let it do its thing and make the "nandroid" backup.

Now when it gets stuck at boot-up, long press power to power down.

(Mine was stuck at the first "n" screen.) I used trick of power button + n button release n button after 5 seconds to get into Clockworkmod. Then restore from "nandroid" backup file on your SDcard. It takes awhile. Then choose the reboot option. All is again well.

I have installed and used various ROMs. I was using MIUI 1.7.22 on an SDcard trying to enable bluetooth keyboards and bluetooth mouse when I got a ROM panic and it locked up my eMMC MN rooted 1.2. I find for bluetooth support, usb host support, plus a wide range of developer response CM7.x nightly, CM7.x Release Candidate, or final CM7.x are superior. They might not look as polished, but there is a lot to be said for working, added features, and support/help from all the developers instead of one person.

See this post, the sections on using, backup, and restore if using external card for Clockworksmod. After reading your post some more it sounds like this is what you did. Having Clockworksmod in memory seems to work for me, but your method(s) should work as well.

I was unaware of this problem until you brought it to my attention, and then I was able to confirm that this problem was happening when using the Google Calendar app. I was able to fix the problem that was happening in the CalendarProvider app. To fix this, download the attached file to your NC SD card if you have CWM on the internal, or to the SD card that has CWM on it.

1.	Open the “Gmail” app

2.	Press the “Menu” key and select “Accounts”

3.	Press the “Menu” key and select “Account Settings”

4.	Select your Gmail address from under the “Manage accounts” heading

5.	Uncheck “Sync Calendar”

7. Exit back to the Launcher

6.	Open “NookColor Tools” select “All Settings” and then “Manage applications”

7.	Select the “All” tab

8.	Find and select “Calendar Storage”

9.	Press “Force Stop” and then “Clear data”

10.	Exit back to the Launcher

11.	Now flash the attached file with CWM

12.	Once the NC starts back up, follow steps 1-4

13.	Recheck “Sync Calendar” and wait until the sync icon stops spinning

14.	Exit back to the Launcher

15.	Open the “Calendar” app

16.	Create an “Event” and make sure your Gmail account is selected under the “Calendar” heading

17.	Exit the “Calendar” app

18.	Wait a minute, and then check that the “Event” was created on the Gmail Calendar server by using a computer or the web browser of the NC.

19.	It should now sync both ways from now on

Let me know if this works for you, or if you run into any problems
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Their is an app in the Market by the name of "Nook Color App Manager" that will somewhat do this. The problem with it is that it puts and icon for "App Manager" in the stock menu. You have to press the "App Manager" icon, and then open whatever app you want. It turns it into a two step process, if you are fine with that, then give the app a try.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
It now works as expected! Great job GMPower! Excellent instructions!

This must be a problem with mn4.6. Calendar sync works fine on mn4.5.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
The problem is not with 4.6.16, it appears to have more to do with the way you upgrade to B&N version 1.2.0. I performed a couple tests to see what would cause this problem. I flashed the NC with the flashable version 1.2 file, MN 4.5.25 and 4.6.16 synced both ways just fine. I then did a complete factory restore/upgrade, MN 4.5.25 and 4.6.16 would only sync in one direction. I then created a new version of MN 4.5.25 and 4.6.16 using the file that I posted above, and after a complete factory restore/upgrade sync worked correctly on both.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Interesting, the Nook Friends (TM) app now works. Before, it didn't function as expected, resulting in no friends. Without friends, no lending or borrowing of books.

Ha! I am now friended with my wife! Whew! Was get'n worried there for a moment or two...

Seriously, that app never connected with my wife nor anyone. Though probably a B&N issue and not from the Calendar fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
On one occasion I did flash 1.2 instead of going back to 1.0.1 then updating via the manually downloaded Update1.2.zip file and did not notice that the calendar working as described above (NC new event syncing with Google Calendar). Mainly because I considered it broke and used other workarounds and avoided Calendar for this purpose.

If I get some time maybe I should verify this on my NC but it is so much work to restore the NC; which reminds me that I should backup using CWM... !!

GMPOWER, do you want me to verify that flashable 1.2, 4.5.25 and then to 4.6.16 calendar works w/o the Calendar fix.zip?

Thanks again for your work GMPOWER!

You are correct as usual. I did flash the 1.2 from nemith and then installed Min.2.25.

Is there a way to install MN to the dual boot partition on the Nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I can’t comment on why the app never worked before, but works now with the Calendar fix, because I have never even touched the app myself, or even looked into how the app is programmed to function. I am just glad that it is working for you now.

If you make a backup of your current setup, and have the time to verify that the Calendar works on 4.5.25 and 4.6.16 after flashing 1.2 would be great. Just make sure that you wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache when you flash 1.2. If you run into any problems along the way, just hit me up, and I will help you.

Could you give me some more details on what you are trying to do here? I see that you wrote a guide on how to dualboot Here, and your signature says that you are running Honeycomb/Stock 1.2. Are you trying to flash MN to the stock 1.2 without damaging the dualboot setup?

Accelerometor Response Time

The accelerometor response seems to be very slow in changing orientation - going from portrait viewing to landscape viewing on browser and home screen. Is there any way to reduce the lag time in responding to orientation changes? For games, the response time is acceptable.

Running MN on a NC. This issue may not be a MN issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] Gibbage:
I need some help please. I have MN 4.6.16 on a 1.2 nook color and I have been using it just fine for MONTHS. I typically hit the N key, and it gives me 3 options. Home, Softkeys, and the Android desktop (forgot what its called). Yesterday, I hit Softkeys, and not I can no longer get that menu to pup up after hitting the N key! I can no longer get to any of my android aps, or market!!! It just takes me to the Nook home! ARG!

I tried reloading MN and even after power off reboots, Softkeys is still loading, and I cant access my android apps. PLEASE help me!

i have a quick questions.... so i got this nc flashed... cm7 stable.....its installed on the internal memory.. now i have games installed as well... .but haven't backed up yet.... with TB..... i guess i want to know.. is if i unmount and format the disk..i know i'll lose everything.. this shouldn't include the preloaded games already.. i think there on the memory as well....

does this sound right?... bottom line i cant copy anything to the sd card now... its presently installed.. and i can see it through file explorer....my gallery says sd card not present........

i think im' on the right track.... an guidance would be appreciated!
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Since you can't get to the Market, you won't be able to download Home Switcher, but if you already have it, fire it up and select a different Home app. If you don't have it, fire up NookColor Tools and hit the All Settings (I think that's what's it's called) and then Manage Applications. At the top of Manage Applications hit the All Applications button. Scroll down to SoftKeys and hit Force Stop and then Clear Default (this is all from memory, I don't have my NC with me, so hopefully the menu/button names are close). Hit the Back button at the bottom and then hit your N key. You should see your choices again.

If that worked, you may want to configure Softkeys by running it again. If I remember correctly, it allows you to select what the N key does with both a long press/hold and a short/regular press. That way if you fired it up again, you could get back to your favorite Home app. Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] Incriminified:
I get that whenever I have the latest Adobe Flash installed. It took a while to figure out since the stock rom and manual nooter work fine, and it is only after installing/updating when the problem comes back. Haven't seen a fix for it, and am not sure if the recently released Flash makes a difference.

Hope that helps
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Follow the directions I posted in this post HERE.

Some apps store data on the SD card, and some large games install themselves onto the SD card. I would go into the application manager, select “On SD card,” and move any games that are on the card to the internal memory. You should not run into any real big problems that can’t be easily overcome if you format the card.

You can also put the card into your computer, and try to copy all of the files to your desktop. You can then put the card back into the NC, and format the card from the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] crstfr:
Thanks homie!
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
You can still access the apps with the stock search function. From there you can install homeswitcher. Installing homeswitcher isn't a bad backup.

I do like the approach by GMPOWER.

When I try to restore apps using Titanium backup, I get the following message:

For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market. I have USB Debugging turned on. Can anyone tell me what else I need to change to allow me to restore my apps using Titanium Backup?

When I first bring up Titanium Backup, I get the following message:

Warning - System Configuration

Your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings, then in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox.

That doesn't exist anywhere I can find on the Nook Color. It exists on my HTC Evo...but not here.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

aldiko and angry bird install on BN 1.2

As BN posted, some apps cannot be installed with a SD card in the Nook. Here's what I did.

1. Under settings, unmount the SD card first

2. remove SD card

3. Aldiko and Angry Birds apks were stored on my dropbox account.

4. download from Dropbox and install as package install.

Both apks installed fine.

Hope that helps

overclocking

Can we run any alternative kernel to overclock beyond 800 MHz? If so, which one? With 1.1, I was overclocking to 1.1GHz.
[Nook Color Android Development] greenmky:
This wasn't that easy for me (since I'm getting the B&N setting screens...not the generic Android screens - so the setting parts were confusing).

But after the data clears and reboot and then a re-sync the Market is working. Then again a lot of apps won't install right (Angry Birds, Astro File Manager, etc).

I pushed the Amazon appstore via adb and it loads up...but can't install apps.

Not having so much luck yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
you guys need to remember that to get to the more typical android settings you'll need to go through nook color tools. Most stuff in the standard nook menu isn't all that helpful.

You HAVE to use nook color tools to access the menu to change these crucial settings:

Debugging Mode

Enable Non-Market Installs

Access Application menu to clear caches/data/force close etc
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Try downloading it directly:

As for the settings, go to Nook Color Tools -> Development -> Manage Applications
[Nook Color Android Development] greenmky:
I re-did it again by going into Nook Color Tools, unchecking, launcher, check, launcher and I'm having a bit better results.

On second check, it's mostly Angry Birds not working. Zenovia 2 installed and plays OK from the Market, NPR news installed OK from Amazon Appstore, and Astro now installed OK from the standard Market after a reboot.

Angry Birds Rio and the like don't work from the Amazon Appstore either, though.

Just seems like a handful of apps not working for some reason. Mostly games so far. I can't get my 3yr old's favorite Hello Kitty Puzzle to install either - it just says downloading.

I noticed the download status bar doesn't update right even on apps that work - it stays gray until it finishes.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
try clearing the dalvik cache. Or doing the market fix process over again. For me it worked first time around, however on my gtablet I've had to redo the process a couple of times until it took. Also I've had times when i've had to clear dalvik for flashing kernels it's reset the market again
[Nook Color Android Development] sassafras_:
GabrialDestruir,

I hope you don't mind, but I've modified your awesome pack to install to a dualboot version of the 1.2 OS.

This download changes nothing from your original pack except it applies the changes to the secondary partition rather than the primary. It is signed and confirmed to work on my device.

As with yours, it requires you to be already registered with B&N on the device before flashing. The installation instructions should be no different than with yours, except it can be installed from an eMMC CWM 3.0.1.0 or later.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10724980/nooter-dualboot-signed.zip

Let me know if you don't like this and I'll remove it, otherwise maybe you could link to it in your OP?

[Nook Color Android Development] greenmky:
I ran the market fix / clear and reboot again and Hello Kitty Puzzle is installing OK now.

Quick question here:

I had the ManualNooter 4.5 or something like that, and just downloaded and ran 4.6.16.

How do I find out what exactly is on the Nook Color?

Market updated back to taylored Nook Color 1.2 Market

I am running NC 1.2 with MN 4.6.16. Today my market auto-updated to the new Market and I do not find any apps when I ran a search. I can see and install apps when I browse the apps displayed on the existing menu system but when I try to search for an app it returns no results. I have tried the market fix and that did not work. How do I get all the apps back?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ravynmagi:
I rooted my stock 1.2 Nook Color with ManualNooter 4.6.16 last night. All appeared to go well. However I can't install any applications from the Market. Keep getting "download unsuccessful".

I tried clearing the Market cache and Framework data, but that didn't help.

I then installed the ManualNooter again, still isn't working. Rebooted the tablet a few times as well.

Any suggestions? I'd rooted this thing in the past (1.0 and 1.1) without trouble, so have done this a few times. Thanks.

Update: Got it worked. Booted back up with CWM and wiped the data and cache again. Then reinstalled the ManualNooter zip again. Now the Market is able to install apps. Yea! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] magicland:
Any chance of a manualnooter update for 1.3? Seems the rooting on this version works with that, but the gapps don't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
The current version of MN does work on a fresh install of 1.3, and the market does work. The ramdisk and kernel need updated in the MN package to match the 1.3 release, but this will be done in an upcoming update of MN.

The only real problem that I see right now, is that the android App2SD is not working 100%. Apps that need this will download/install, and work just fine. The problem starts when you go into “Manage Applications” to manually try to move any app from the internal storage to the SD card, the app will move, but become corrupt, and will not work again until you uninstall/reinstall. I don’t think a lot of people use this feature, and we will try to have a fix for this problem in an upcoming update.
[Nook Color Android Development] GadgetFreak:
Thanks for the update. Glad to know that even though there is not a lot to the 1.3 update, that this is still being looked at.
