Your no troubles, I am glad to you were able to get it going. That is really odd that it will not take on your NC.

I am out of town on vacation now, so I am not going to dive into doing any kernels until I get back after the New Year. I would first put out a stock kernel with the APPS2SD modules that people can choose to use on this project. If no one else dives into the kernel market for the NC, I would be willing to put out some overclocked kernels at that time. “Dalingrin” 1.3.0 firmware kernels should work in a pinch. I would do a file comparison of the 1.4.1 and 1.3.0 kernel, to find what modules changed, and then could just add those to the current “Dalingrin” kernels for a faster turnaround on getting overclocked kernels out.

As you can see in this before root picture, the live wallpapers are missing from the stock interface.

And the is the after rooted

The best way to avoid the B&N download issue, is to make sure you download all of your B&N stuff before you root, it then seems to always work after rooting.
[Nook Color Android Development] framitz:
Can't thank you enough for your efforts, GMPOWER, especially on vacation!

I flashed 5.12.20 and have tested everything I can think of.

Side Loading, Titanium restore of an app, B&N market, android market.

After the first reboot there were some glitches, Gmail missing in app tray along with 2 others. After updating whatever needed it in Market, I rebooted and all is GOOD with both B&N and Android markets.

If/When we can get apps2sd and overclocking this will be perfect!
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
If you can tell me how to decompile the kernel I'd be happy to run the comparison for you and save you some time. I have my own curiosity as well, of course, as I always do a file compare on every release (firmware or nooter) just so I personally know what's changing.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Thanks for the reply.

Interestingly, here was my fix last night:

I deregistered my NC and rebooted (it booted to 1.4.1). Loaded up all of the books, archived some of the magazines, and downloaded the apps.

Turned off the NC and booted back up.

Then, turned off the NC, inserted my bootable CWM card and installed MN 5.12.20.

I then verified that Shop worked, then started Market and logged into Market.

Verified that Shop worked and then added most of my apps through Market, Amazon AppStore, or Titanium Backup. Verifying Shop functions between each.

Noted that some apps were not availabe through Market or AppStore.

This morning I added my music to the emmc.

Observation #1: After logging into Market for the first time, I backed out of it and later started Market again. It seems to do an update or install after Market setup.

Observation #2: NC 1.4.1 install (for the lack of a better term) lags. The live wallpapers apps, and other features take time to install. Using over patience when upgrading or registering 1.4.1 is necessary. Also, I think this version has additional indexing of music, photos, etc that occurs in the background.

If my recollection is correct, the following apps were not in Market: NoteEverything, Tweet Deck; or in AppStore: QuickOffice.

Nice job, and I really like 1.4.1. B&N has done a lot of work and thought into the this update.

GMPower: have a safe holiday and Merry Christmas!
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Awesome job GMPOWER! This is the first version I have used that Market has worked (it FCed for me with 4.5.18 and 4.6.16). Everything else seems to work, Gmail, YouTube, Market app. downloads/updates, B&N stuff, etc. Thanks for the work on this!! Also, I love the start-up animation! :)

FYI, I did a restore to stock 1.1 (my internal firmware version) and manually applied each upgrade straight from B&N downloads to 1.2, 1.3 and then 1.4.1. Then I rooted with 4.5.18 and the 4.6.16 and finally your 5.12.20. The only issue I have is that Market is not self-updating (at least yet, and it's been many hours) and it won't let me install an updated Market manually. I haven't played with it a lot yet though, and a working Market is a working Market, so I'm certainly not complaining here, just reporting.

I may try an erase and deregister and then reapply 5.12.20 to see if that updates Market.

UPDATE: I did the erase and deregister and only applied 5.12.20 and Market automatically updated. Everything else seems to be working too. EXCELLENT WORK!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
Yipes, now my NC is having that issue. After about a week of downloading and installing apps without problems from both Market and Amazon, today it started giving me the error about not being able to install.

I'm familiar with the checkbox for 3rd party apps, and tried to check/uncheck with no success.

I'm wondering if it was something that I installed (nothing since yesterday) or if there was some other change. Very strange.

Update: It doesn't appear that it affects all apps, as I was just able to download another program in both Market and Amazon. It still won't let me install the Amazon Free App of the Day today due to the install error. Not sure what's different about this app.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
The post that you had referenced was for the inability to install apps from outside of the market, restoring from within titanium backup.

Do you have the specific wording of the error that you received, could you try to install the app again, and this time copy down what the error warning is? The 3rd party app checkbox is only for apps that are installed from outside of the two market places. It sounds like the error that you received is for the app not being compatible with your device, and this can be fixed by changing your build.prop info LINK. Was the Amazon daily app that you tried to install “Wordpops?” If it was that app, I had no problem installing the app with the “Nexus S” build.prop fix. If you decide to apply this fix, I recommend that you go into manage application and clear data for “Market” and “Appstore.”
[Nook Color Android Development] magicland:
Just FYI, you can install the 1.4.1 update directly over 1.1 or any earlier version, no need at all to go incrementally. It's replacing everything, not patching prior versions.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Observation with Touch Calendar:

When I touch a day, the app closes. Otherwise, I can stretch it ok, usually that is. And I can set and reset appointments, and those appointments sync with my Google Calendar.

Although it is an annoyance, I am very pleased that Touch Calendar works!
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
Thanks. That worked changing the profile to Nexus S and redownloading the app.

Can't get past nook color animation after initial install from zip

I have followed all steps down to the finest detail for using this on my NC. I'm only a noob to working with the nook color. Otherwise I have modded a few devices.... Anyways...

I can't get past the rainbow-colored nook color animation after installing the manualnooter 4.6.16.zip file through CWM per the instructions on this thread...

I just bought my NC and it has 1.3 stock firmware (until now?)... I'm just not sure what needs to be done now. I've spent the last half hour searching for this same topic, but to no avail... any help is appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
You need to install 4.5.18 first, then 4.6.16 when rooting an NC with 1.3.
[Nook Color Android Development] r0n1n69:
Two questions. First, is anyone else having difficulty with wifi? Mine seems dodgy in regards to automatically connecting to my network. If I drill into the setting menu to the wifi scan it will usually connect on it's own, but it's seems hesitant to do from like the home screen on it's own. I got my daughter a NC today and her stock 1.4 unit seems to be connecting consistently quicker than mine. I haven't done any thorough testing around this as she just got it today, but that's the impression I've got.

Second, has there been any work done on an overclock kernel for 1.4? As I understand it, the overclock kernels for the stock rom were all based on the 1.1 kernel and the 1.4 has some significant changes. Is this correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Interestingly I am noticing the same thing (just thought it might be a fluke before). Sometimes it just says "obtaining IP address" and never seems to get one. If I connect manually, it works fine. On the OC Kernel, to my knowledge, there isn't one yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
The connection was initially a problem, but I ended up going back to stock 1.2, then updated to 1.4.1, and then rerooted after the 1.4.1 updated 'settled down' so to speak. I made sure that most of the B&N content was downloaded, and that SHOP worked correctly, as well as downloaded the two B&N live wallpapers and verified they worked before applying the 5.12.20 root.

I do note a higher battery consumption, but that may be due to less mp3/music streaming time and more reading and surfing time. Trillian seemed to consume battery too, so I uninstalled it. I have installed CpuSpy and am monitoring the power with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] AF9210:
rom manager

can rom manager and cwm recovery be flashed for the nook color on 1.4.1 after mn?
[Nook Color Android Development] r0n1n69:
Yes. Just did it no problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] AF9210:
cm7

cool, so booting into recovery and wiping out 1.4.1 and installing cm7 would not be an issue ;) thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
So just out of curiosity, is anyone having the boot-loop issues with this new root and 1.4.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] Joshochoa187:
1.3 needs to run 4.5.18 before 4.6.16

What does this mean im lost after this step
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
well not sure what I did wrong, but I did a clean 1.4.1 install and tried to flash over the new 5.12.20, and it just sits at the B&N "N" on boot.

Any advice?

EDIT: Got past the N screen....not much further than that it's still booting up...but I just wanted to say that new boot animation??? EFFING SWEET. LOL
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Patience is a virtue with 5.12.20 when booting the first time.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Hard crash with MN 5.12.20 yesterday. It would appear that one of my apps is taking up B&N memory space. I am going to track it down if possible.

For an unknown reason, my CWM backup didn't work. :( and then applied the 5gb partition scheme/script but that ruined my \data partition. Flashing back to the 2gb scheme correctly partitioned it again.

I did a clean install of 1.2, repartitioned to the 2gb B&N partition, updated to 1.4.1, installed my B&N stuff and then installed 5.12.20. After which, I restored most of my non-B&N apps with Titanium Backup.

I am at 1.32 out of 1.93 gb free.

So the task it so be selective at using the streaming music apps, and the social media apps (tweet deck), and my preferred browser (Opera Mobile) and watch the partition space as reported by B&N settings.

For now I am not updating the Google system type Market apps.

I'll report what I find out, if anything, may take a couple of days to track this down, if this issue reappears.
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
Couple things I noticed with this, not sure why it's not working.

Goodreads App.

Neither the B&N app, nor the one from the market work.

Not sure why.

Help with 1.2 rooted to 1.4.1 update

can i do a 1.4.1 update over the the rooted 1.2..then flasn the new MN or do i have to do a flash to stock then 1.4.1 update..... then flash the new MN...and if so will i lose my root? PLEASE help!!!!!!:confused::confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] PuterGeek:
I don't know of a 1.4.1 OC kernel but I tried Dalingrin's kernel from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451 which was updated to the 1.3 source. The specific kernel I used is update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip

So far it is working without problems. I verified 1.2 GHz using SetCPU and will report back if I have any problems.

There may be some new stuff from the NC 1.4.1 source that would improve upon this.

-Joe
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Any B&N update will make you lose root.

Theoretically, you should just be able to do the 1.4.1 then the new MN 5.(whatever) and it should work.
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
That's what I did and it worked perfectly.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Progress update:

I have yet to update the google market apps come with MN 5.12.20. Nor have I installed Tweet Deck or Trillian.

On question, should I update those google market apps that come with MN?

I have no problems, even purchased a 16gb Sandisk card to replace the 8gb card, copied all the files and it didn't choke or anything. At about 1.30 out of 1.93 gb free.

First though, I am going to install Tweet Deck and Trillian and see what transpires. It seems to feel better without those other apps updated (compared to before). Maybe smoother is a better description, though I just can't quite describe it. I'll report later.
[Nook Color Android Development] r0n1n69:
Thanks for the update. Did you notice any loss of functionality with any features that might have been built into the new kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
After reading 'PuterGeek's post, I went ahead and loaded the same kernel. Everything appears normal in Nook Tweaks. CPU Spy indicates I'm hitting the various stepping levels, and going into deep sleep appropriately. Battery life is still good, at least based on 24 hours of testing.

The only thing that isn't working that I've noticed so far is APPS2SD. Apps appear to be moved, but do not function afterwards. I have to uninstall then reinstall them. This is an important feature to me, but I'm pleased with the 90% of everything else that is working!
[Nook Color Android Development] Desertio:
help please

I just got my NC rooted with manual nooter. I then flashed Clockwork recovery and everyhting went fine. I flashed a new ROM and now when i boot up i keep getting this message

android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly

It keeps me from doing anything. Did i do something wrong? Was it a bad flash? IDK what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I flashed MIUI Nook Color 1.9.16 btw.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
I don't know that there is much difference in functionality in the kernel. Cruising the source as posted by B&N, there are precious few differences.

In the overall source, there are some dalvik files that are new to 1.4(android/dalvik) that look to be test code and some alsa-utils and wpa-supplicant files (android/alsa-utils, android/wpa_supplicant_6) that are no longer there from 1.3.

There are some changes to webkit and webcore, and a handful of changes in the kernel and u-boot. The list of files that are different is below, but, at first blush, Dalingrin's OC kernel would appear that it could run OK with this build. The kernels are all (1.3, 1.4, Dalingrin) still 2.6.32.9.

Interesting find on APP2SD. I thought GMPOWER had said APP2SD required the kernel changes and I believe it worked in 1.3 using Dalingrin 's kernel. Maybe there are some other changes required in the rooter and/or kernel tweaks.

I tried to move some apps to SD with Titanium Backup before loading the kernel and they didn't work. I haven't tried anything since. I'll try again and also see if things that might load to SD (like Angry Birds) get installed there or load in main memory.

I have bought books and magazines from B&N which downloaded and were readable. Both the Android and Amazon markets work properly. WiFi is fine.

I haven't connected by USB and I haven't tried in-store functions yet. Everything else seems fine with good battery life.

I'll try USB shortly and will swing by B&N on my way home from work this week. I haven't actually ever tried the in-store stuff so that will prove interesting. Maybe I'll have to un-tweak build.prop to get it to work.

I'll post an update later in the week.

You know you're just about forcing me to look into the kernel source now :D

I guess it's about time I started contributing more anyway. I'm no Linux expert but I do know my way around most of the tools.

Who knows, maybe I can learn something and be more useful.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
It was bugging me, so I looked closer at the source files that showed up different (which was done based on your basic sfv program, by the way). Anyway, turns out the only files that are actually different (after you filter out remarks, etc) are below.

[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
As a control for your experiment: This is on B&N 1.4.1 with MN 5.12.20 applied and Dalingrin's 1.3 OC kernel added. No other build.prop changes except disabling the startup animation. In-store works fine. When I walked into the store, a pop-up asked me if I wanted to connect. Once I did so, I was able to read ebook titles at will. Pulled one up to confirm that it was working. Now I can go mooch some reading material without feeling sheepish for having a stack of stuff at the cafe'.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I am home from the holidays so I can look into the Apps2sd issue. Since it is only three files that need to be changed in the kernel, I should be able to get a modified “Dalingrin” kernel up later today.

As for why Apps2sd is not working with the “Dalingrin” kernel, I will have to look into that problem. Apps2sd should be built into the base Froyo code, and then it is just enabled through the device manager module in the Kernel. Could someone try to use Titanium Backup to move an app from the internal storage to the SD card, just long press on an app, and select “move to sd card?”
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
You, Sir, are awesome. I much appreciate it.

Just tried it -- running dalingrin's kernel -- and TB seems to be stuck at the Processing-Please wait dialog. Ditto on a second attempt.

The Application Info settings menu indicates it was actually moved. The program runs.

I tried to move it back to "phone" from there, and now it's broken, and showing as com.developer in the drawer. This is what happened moving to SD outside of TB before I loaded the new kernel.

Repeating the process with another program (Aldiko) yields the same results. It looks like TB succeeds in the move, despite the hang, but programs don't like being moved back by other means. I don't know if that's useful information, but there it is.

There may be another issue. Since loading up the dalingrin kernel, but occasionally before that, I've noticed that the unit will seize up for extended periods on reboot, usually accompanied by the sync symbol at lower right next to the wifi/battery indicators. Sometimes it will shake loose, other times it will reboot. After a 2nd reboot, it's usually OK.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Trying to piece this together so it makes sense to me...

The last kernel that Dalingrin posted (on 9/1/11) is actually updated from the 1.3 source code (although it's mislabeled) per Dalingrin's notes. That being the case, and the very small changes in the kernel between 1.3 and 1.4, I'm not understanding why Dalingrin's kernel wouldn't work with 1.4.

Just for understanding's sake, can someone explain at least a theory on that to me?
[Nook Color Android Development] xrobmn:
How did you get it to apply if I can ask... I've rooted all my phones 10000 times over and this is starting to make me go nuts..

I have the 1.3 and it's rooted.. I download the 1.4.1 per BN and put it on the local storage.. boots up.. ses the file then says it's a bad zip..

I put it on a memory card.. boot.. CWM is the recovery... to go apply a zip file and same bad luck. says invalid file/signature.. I can view the zip on a PC and everything looks fine..

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Welcome back GMPOWER!

Update: I updated everything in Market user apps and my B&N free memrory has remained relatively stable.

Oh, every Market user app except Rhapsody. My Rhapsody install is a B&N install which (B&N) reports no updates available. But it also appears in Market User apps with an update available. So I haven't updated it because it is a B&N install app, not Market. Fishbowl doesn't show up in my Market User apps though it is one of my B&N apps. There might be an issue with Rhapsody.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
I have that issue with the game Apparatus, which I installed as a free app of the day from Amazon's App Store. The Android Market keeps trying to update it, then failing.

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

It seems to be working just fine. Other than APPS2SD, I haven't encountered any problems. It was good of doncaruana to confirm that there were only minor changes.
