Awesome work GMPOWER! Appreciate the market fixes greatly! Testing now. One thing on the last build was tested on 2 NC's the news/weather app FC and widgets didn't work - not a huge deal I'll test on new build now!

I'm curious, what fixes were applied to address the market visibility? build.prop, dpi changes, etc.?
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Seems to work well GMPOWER, haven't run across anything significant yet. One oddity that I had was after applying this MN and rebooting: I went straight to the BN launcher and then to the BN store. I noticed that my wireless was off (normal) and I tried to hit the speaker/time/battery icon at the bottom of the screen to bring up the popup to turn on wireless. It did nothing when I tapped it (multiple times - and even after exiting BN apps. and going to Zeam). So I hit the N and went to settings that way and turned on WiFi, and after that I could tap on the icon and the popup comes up. Don't know if it's related, but thought I'd mention it just in case.
[Nook Color Android Development] WyldWolf:
Just a couple observations with the latest build applied to 2 nooks, one with old screen hardware, other with new screen hardware:

1. Does seem more responsive with the OC kernel

2. News/weather app/widget still won't run and FC when opened

3. Wifi drops still occur on both units more frequently and never both units at the same time which is odd

4. Wallpaper seems to have a mind of it's own with Zeam launcher and stretches itself upon rebooting or restarting zeam however what's odd is it's not 100% of the time, sometimes wallpaper sticks, sometimes it stretches - turned off scroll wallpaper in zeam, tried having it manage wallpaper internally nothing has worked - anyone have a simple workaround to not have to reset the wallpaper frequently?

5. All google apps auto-updated at first startup with this build, all seem to be working properly but the auto-update is something new from a couple builds ago

6. Market is great now, amazon/facebook/etc all seen installed great - only 1 app I don't see is Google voice but I can install that via the apk, havent had a chance to look at the build.prop to see what changed guessing the google voice app isn't seen because it's not being identified as a phone?

On a side note I finally figured out how to restore not only my apps and data but my widgets themselves which took some trial and error! LOL

did you find a resolution to boot process stuck in "nook COL" screen?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I have been running this for the past three days and have not encountered any issues with version 5.1.24. My experience is limited to:

Apps that Market noted updates, updated ok.

The following apps seem to work ok:

Document to Go - Amazon key

Touch Calendar

Samba Fileshare

Amazon Kindle

Opera Mobile Browser

Tweetdeck

Titanium Backup

Xda Premium

Shopping List

ReGalAndro

NoteEverything

NookTweaks

CPUSpy

AndroExplorer

QuickPic

Rhapsody (B&N)

PocketCloud (market)

SQLite Editor (market)

Moon Phase Pro (B&N)

Autumn Live Wallpaper (B&N)

Pandora (B&N)

Olive Tree Biblereader (B&N)

Note: Market and B&N tend to 'share' Rhapsody. I usually just update Rhapsody in B&N and keep with it, and try to ignore the market update. When I do the market update and then check the B&N app, B&N will download and install the app again, but my settings remain. :)

My preference for apps is to use the B&N app when available.

I have not had any unusual FC's or SOD.

As to Dalingrin's OC 9/1/11...., CPU Spy reports 4 seconds @ 1100 out of 74 hours, 53 minutes, and 37 seconds monitoring time. It has always seemed that the setting revert back, or looses it's superuser permissions status (I observe that message will popup with applying the CPU settings).

I hope this is helpful.

Manual Noter for 1.4.1 an Adobe

Hi folks,

thanks to your support. Now i have a brand new installed Nook Color with 1.4.1 and nooted. Market and everything else is working perfectly. Even the facebook app is shown an working correctly. There is only one thing left and that is the calendar app. On my google account i have around three calendars and my calendar app on the nook is closing when i try to select on out of my list. Any suggestions how to solve this issue?

Then another question, so i am a chicken on this... :-) From 1.3 nooted i've learned to keep my fingers from the adobe updates (flashplayer and air). Do you have any experience if that it is still an issue.

Many thanks for your reply.
[Nook Color Android Development] durv:
First, thanks for the great work, gmpower. Installed the latest and everything is working great. If anyone has any workarounds for location services let me know.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I don't believe you will have an issue with updating Adobe. I haven't had an Adobe issue for quite some time now. If you have a problem (results in boot loop), there is a post within this thread that you can install.

As for the google calendar, I use Touch Calendar which uses the native Calendar app but has a much better appearance and is what you would expect. Though it does fc when touching a blank page, you can bring it right back and work in the app.

ROM Manager force closing..even after updating <<help or suggestions

I installed the stock v1.4 Nook update, which works fine, and then flashed ManualNooter 5.01.24.apps2sd afterward. That flashed fine and everything seems to be working as expected except ROM Manager.

Selecting it, it to starts to open but simply flashes to a full grey screen for a split second and then immediately goes back to the default Nook home screen (one time it opened and closed, but went to a book I'd been reading that was not on-screen at the time..weird.)

I cannot uninstall it either, trying simply says "uninstall failed". I tried reflashing the 5.01.24 zip, and I updated ROM Manager from the Market, which apparently updated as expected, but it still won't open.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

JT
[Nook Color Android Development] framitz:
I've found that versions of ROM manager above 4.8.1.4 force close upon launch.

Fortunately I had added 4.8.1.4 to internal ROM, so when I saw problems, I just uninstalled back to the working version.

The most recent 5.x version also force closes upon launch, so I'm sticking with 4.8.1.4.
[Nook Color Android Development] jttraverse:
I finally managed, with a lot of work, to get ROM Manager uninstalled and out of my apps. And you're right that any new update or the 5.x version force closes. But as it is, I'm still having trouble installing the 4.8.1.4 version simply because it isn't available through the Market and I can't sideload it since B&N locks out any apps that way. I know there's some way to get them into the device, but I can't recall the exact steps, so if anyone wants to enlighten me I'd appreciate it.

UPDATE

I've solved my problem by finding out how to change my stock color Nook v1.4 (rooted) so that I could sideload apps simply by copying them to Nook and tapping them in File Explorer. I does require ADB and the Android SDK Tools so you can use Sqlite3..but if you have ADB installed it's worth doing.

Go to this link and scroll down to the instructions. It was a quick fix, a few typed commands, and I now have the earlier version of ROM manager loaded and running fine.

[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I discussed this issue the other day in the general section, LINK. Rom Manager 5 is requesting a device id check from the IMEI, since our device does not have a cell radio, we don’t have an IMEI.

I talked with Koushik Dutta, and he sent me the attached Rom Manager 5 that works perfectly fine. He will be updating the market version to this shortly.
[Nook Color Android Development] jttraverse:
Thanks very much...beyond dealing with the old RomManager, which I learned a lot from so I'm not really complaining about it, I appreciate all your work. ManualNooter has made using the stock 1.4 a breeze.

-JT
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Just to confirm, I updated Rom Manager (through Market) and it does open now! Thanks GMPOWER!
[Nook Color Android Development] That's:
I am having issues. I came from a newly activated Nook Color that was running 1.3. When I installed everything with the CWM Bootable SD card then rebooted I have been in a bootloop.

I installed the 18 first and the 16 second. Help, please?!
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Did you do this?:

1.3 needs to run 4.5.18 before 4.6.16

My suggestion would be to reset the NC using the seven failed start method, update to 1.4.1, register the NC and use it for an hour or so, then root with 5.12.24.

[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
I don't think this is possible. I've seen mock locations work (Mountain View, CA) - but the device lacks GPS capability beyond IP geolocation (assuming you are connected to a wifi AP.)

There have been some efforts to tether an android phone GPS to the CM7 Nook release, but I'm not following that too closely.

EDIT:

(just to be clear...)

Location information comes from 3 places: GPS location (which we don't have in this hardware), Cell Tower triangulation (we don't have this either), and WiFi guestimations (involving geolocation and optionally configured coordinates from the access point.) So the chances are slim that this will ever work unless tethered to another device that can provide lat/long coordinates in a way that the NC can understand.

Wifi might give you unpredictable data. For example, if your home internet service is aggregated through a data center in another state, you appear to be located in that state. Cell networks are notorious for this. For example, all AT&T mobile traffic runs through some rack located in IL.

So geolocation based on IP address is dubious when it comes to accuracy. Cell triangulation is ok, and GPS is better still.
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Possible? Yes. The easier route might be to hack market to have the prroper UID/permissions to run with the existing packages.xml definitions. Or vice-versa. Either way, an updated market would be the first priority, the other Gapps are secondary (these already work pretty well, so it may not be worth the effort if there is a shorter path to get Market up and running.)
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
I'll give it a try, but my gut tells me (99.9%) it should be ok.

All these zip packages do is install files in certain places on the device. Installing a newer version simply over-writes files with the same (or newer) versions (so long as files don't change locations from one version to the next.)

I'll verify this by inspecting the updater-script in both versions and give it a shot. Worst case, you can always restore from clockwork :)
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
All the other Gapps work fine for me, I even updated them all from the market

also is there a changelog so i can see what is different in the 4/28 version?
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Could you elaborate on how you did this? Matching versions of Gapps is the key to having market working as intended. Version numbers, URL, etc would be ideal.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
Anyone?? I know it has to be an easy one
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
You need to use SoftKeys for this.

Set it to be the double-tap launcher, certain B&N settings screens don't have a "back" button, and they disable the status bar soft-keys in certain scenarios.

If you can't get that working, you can jump back to home and re-run NookColorTools from there.
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Ok, I'm going to give this another try. It may be an APK, it may be a flash-able zip. It depends on how easy Vending.apk is to hack and spoof the UID of the original version.
[Nook Color Android Development] mutant13:
I use... button savior apk.... I like it better... there is a free version, you get more options with the paid(as usual)...
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
But...as long as there is a status bar (ie not full screen), you can just swipe right to left across the status bar. I've never used soft keys or button savior.
[Nook Color Android Development] MadMikeSS:
In case folks didn't know, slide your finger right to left on the stock nook status bar, which still appears at the bottom for me in the nootered NC with Zeam running, this action is the same as back. You have to do it across the status bar. It does work, found that trick out some time back.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Thanks for this, but when can we expect autonooter for 1.2?
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
Oy vey.

If history is any guide, it looks like it takes up to three weeks to see an initial autonooter release after a B&N update.
[Nook Color Android Development] jwdean26:
Accessibility

Is there anyway to get the Accessibility apps working? (Talkback, Kickback, Soundback, Eye-free shell, etc.) I was able to download these apps, but no way to turn them on. When I try to enable talkback (Through an app called Accessibility Preferences), it says that Talkback is currently disabled. Would you like to open accessibility settings. When I tap OK, it say that Accessibility is not supported on this device.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Great analysis but a bit off the point. I am not of course trying to use navigation s/w all I am trying to do is activate wifi location so the system can pick up general street, city, country information.

A lot of android apps including wheather etc. Use this location info for forecast and others. Actually the internet browser of 1.2 uses geolocation and its correct so the option is active just not for all apps and since we have no configuration menu > location we can't turn it on.

I was just wandering wether in build.prop there is an option to turn on.

I really want to say that getting the market working that way.. well, I just didn't think it would work. Genius. I am curious what it does, but either way that really made the difference. Awesome work, makes me happy to have switched to 2.2
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
I just ran the market fix to enable most apps to show up. Then i went through and searched for gmail, maps, etc and clicked install and it just installed them over the top of the ones included with the nooter package.

When I get home I'll look up all the version numbers of the apps and stuff
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
Tried this twice...

and it doesn't show my apps ( and I never get the "install failed" screen). I also see it saying "welcome to Gabriel Destruit ... ManualNooter 4.4.27 in the CWM instructions even though I downloaded 4.4.28 (even D/L'd) twice)

Do you have an MD5 Hash for the correct file [or else something weird is happening]
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsv23:
HI i am wondering can you somehow restore certain parts of a nandroid backup, maybe if you could unpack the img or something??

The reason i ask is because i am on Oxygen 2.0.3 and last night i was using shazam and the phone rebooted. It was like a hot restart cuz there was no splash screen.

Then when it restarted the touch screen wouldnt work to unlock, also the sim unlock keypad would not come up.

I Rebooted several time nothing changed, i even tried to reinstall oxygen again without wiping and that didnt change a thing.

I decided to make a nandroid backup incase it can be fixed and then i restored a different nandroid backup from about 3 weeks ago.

That fixed everything but i had some bookmarks that i needed and some phone numbers in sms messages.

I noticed in advanced restore it will let you restore the different partitions like Data, system, sd-ext etc etc. Would one of these options help me?

THanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Data would help. Really for SMS you need an SMS backup app.

Sent from CM7
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsv23:
Yeah I realise in hindsight that a sms backup would help, but the unlock screen dosnt work for that backup to install anything now.

I might try and restore the data from the nandroid backup and see how it goes

Hi there,

my first post...hmhmhmhm...

Ok, I flashed my Vibrant with the new deodexed KB5 version, everything went well.

I also installed the voodoo lag fix...but since that my videos get out of sync when I try to jump to a certain time in the vid. Audio and Video are not synced anymore.

Already disabled Voodoo and played another Backup back with the deodexed version only...same problem.

Has anyone an idea or the same problem?

I think everything worked fine till I updated to the voodoo-kernel, but the problem is still the same, even though I switched back without the voodoo-kernel.

Thx for taking a look into it.

P.S.: The desync only happens when I jump to different positions in the video, if I keep it playing from the very beginning, the vid stays in sync...

These vids were always in sync before changing to that rom or kernel.

Yup thats the one I just flashed. Im not gettin that problem tho. Try another video player see if its doin the same with them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWood110:
Ok thx, will try it out, although didn't have had this problem before flashing this rom. :(

Ok, installed Mobo player...same issue.

I will flash my phone tomorrow again, with the deodexed rom, maybe the problem is gone then and wiping all the chache...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Wiping the cache is always a good idea. You should be clearing 4 different settings in CwMRecovery on every ROM install just to be safe. Also if ur already into the ROM a lil and dont wanna have to re-flash the whole ROM and go thru another setup try pushing the video.apk and re-installing it on its own first. If that doesnt help a total re-flash of the entire ROM should fix ur problem. Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWood110:
Thx,

thats actually a good idea. I unzipped the rom and got the single video.apk. :)

I flashed my phone already, the same problems are there. Which is kinda strange and I have to test the same videofiles on the phone of my wife.

Not that suddenly all the files I tested were kinda corrupt, that would be a really big coincidence... :(

All files before worked fine...

Ok, tested a lot of different video files, everything seems to be ok now. :)

Reinstalling the voodoo kernel again, thx for your help. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Thats awesome! Glad you got it werkin:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWood110:

[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
this is a totally different rom......
[Vibrant Android Development] blinksilver:
Thanks for the answer scrizz, but I am not so convinced.

Actually, I'd say its shares a very similar code base in ways that are relevant to my question. I know that GCR is a i9000 JPJ based rom, and this is a vibrant KA6 based rom, but check out little bits like the build props, the mod version is still even called GCR3 U6, so its not too far off to assume some crossover. I also assume that since Eugene's contact.apk rebuild is used in both roms to get that ASOP Dialer/Contact feel, and that is from the same code base, it may share the same problems.

Either way, I've already dL'ed it, modded it to my liking, and am about to flash, so I'll report back.
