You shouldn't need to keep them pressed. For me I just hold vol- and as soon as I've pressed the power button (and it's obvious it is powering on - normally instant) I let go.

Just as a by-the-by comment, being someone that looks at a lot of posts I see more issues with RCMix ROM than any other especially about recovery or flashing (even taking into account the popularity or it).

Question on sd card

Is our CM7 also running off the card? (noobie question). I recently placed the CM7 on a Sandisk card, 16m, Class2 and all my MP4 videos are choppy or out of sync. I've tried several video players.

A related question: Is the SD image of CM7 the same as the stable version of the EMMC version since the video is reported to be working great in that version.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
I' only loading movie files from the 32G uSD. Running CM7 from eMMC. I did run CM7 from a uSD a while ago on a Transend 8G Class 6 which the consensus seems to be the card to use. Class 6 seems to be the "sweet spot". Others have run Class 10s with very mixed results. Lower class ditto.

As far as the version of CM....I don't believe so. The stable signed is 7.0 (7.02) and have not personally seen a uSD version but I could be wrong.

(Edit): Try using VitalPlayer. My sotware of choice.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case-sensitive:
The "class" of an sdcard measures the sequential read/write speed. The deciding factor for how well an sdcard would run a rom seems to be something else: the small block random read/write speed (which does not seem to be listed on the package); see

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633&page=2

for an interesting discussion & data (esp OP and post #19). Speaking for myself, I had a great deal of troubles running nookie froyo on two class 6 cards, but I had no problem using a cheap class 2 sandisk. You guess it: the sandisk's small block r/w speeds is almost 10 ten that of the two class 6. Right now I'm running CM7.02 on a class 4 sandisk and it's running great.

YMMV.

Updating the SD Card

I had used the image from Verygreen's link which is 7.0.0-RC2 but re-reading his original post it appears I can just copy the latest build from

"mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=encore"

and copy into the first partition then reboot in recovery.

Can someone comfirm this will still work? I'm having issues with choppy video and terrible battery life - though I realize the battery life is much less than stock. The stable version, 7.0.2 was suppose to address many issues and from reports is running great.

Thanks!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarborn:
Kernels

Sounds great - Thanks. I realized that I could just make my own image using Winimage of my current working CM7 SD install and use it to re-flash if things messup. ( slaps head, duh). I am confused about this from Verygreen's post:

OC Kernel installation instructions:

After you have a running CM7 by doing the steps above.

Get CM7 OC kernel from Dalingrin's thread. Unpack the zip file, the result should be a file with the name "kernel" and some other stuff. Rename the kernel file to uImage.

Shutdown your nook and take the uSD card out (make sure the nook is not plugged into USB bus or it'll boot into eMMC then).

Plug the SD Card into the computer, copy uImage file you just created to the first partition (the partition name would be "boot") instead of the existing file with this name (might want to save the original file just in case).

Now you are ready to go again.

You'll need to repeat these steps every time you upgrade to a new nightly build, because they carry their own kernels with them.

Is this still necesssary? The first section instructs to place the newest build .zip image on the 1st partition and recovery boot - the install works like the original install. Also do I need to also re-install Gaaps?

Thanks - I searched Verygreen's long thread but could not find the answer or a link to Dalingrin's thread.

EDIT: Nevermind - I'm learning... so the Kernel is the basic element that is found in the image file. Different beast than placing the .zip image on the sdcard.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
I am not sure about the size of the card, but what matters more IMHO are the real-world sequential read and write speeds. I purchased a 4GB Class 10 Patriot uSD card and loaded CM7 per Evergreen's instructions. The performance is TERRIBLE, slow and market d/l is extremely slow as well. I attribute this to Patriot misrepresenting the sequential write speeds of the card. I would go with Sandisk Class 4 uSD or Transcend Class 6 uSD (on order) as well as other Brand uSD cards reported by XDA users to run CM7 well on NC.

Thanks to all those who help us newbies.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
I bought a 16GB Sandisk (class 4) card today to replace a Transcend 8GB class 6 -- unlike the Transcend, which I had *maybe* 1-2 Fcs total in the 3 days I've had it running, I've been getting errors and FCs not infrequently with the new card :(

I even tried wiping it and installing fresh downloads of CM7 and gapps to see if that was the problem.

Could it be I just had the bad luck to get a not-so-good Sandisk card?

I'm running the CM7 (stable) install w/ multi-boot menu, only OC'ing to 925mhz via Cyanogenmod settings for both cards. No launcher mod, just a bunch of game apps, moboplayer, quickpic (same set of apps on both cards). Can't figure out why I'm getting random FCs otherwise in the Sandisk card...any ideas?

------ updated : -------

Ran diagnostics on card, everything (including physical surface check) came back clear. r/w scores were OK (a bit low on the r/w 4ks) but nothing terrible.

When I used a different installer all my FC issues dissapeared. The one I had been using (and still have on my Transcend 8GB card) is the 2GB (extendable 4th partition) + multiboot install. It runs flawlessly on the 8GB card but for some reason caused my 16GB install to crash a lot (FCs and error messages).

When I installed verygreen's agnostic SD card version, the issues I was having on 16GB disappeared. Running very smoothly @ 925Mhz CM7 OC. I've thrown a bunch of movies at it and it looks great, no chop. So YMMV.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Isn't the point of verygreen's size-agnostic image that you can install it on any size card? I used it on a Sandisk unclassed (so, 2) 16GB from Radioshack, and CM7.0.2 is running great--much smoother than stock 1.2 on the eMMC.

As others have said, it's not the sequential r/w but the small-block, random r/w that counts for running an OS, and class ignores this benchmark entirely. Your Patriot was very likely performing exactly as advertised, but what it's advertising is how well it will perform in a 10+megapixel DSLR camera taking rapid-fire photos or a half-hour video. It gains that performance at the expense of small-block r/w, sometimes gaining 5-10x the sequential r/w by sacrificing 100x or greater the small-block speed.

Hey all,

Just curious as to where a file needs to be if I want to push or flash to my Xoom via adb. Meaning if I have a recovery.img and want to flash it to my phone, where do I need to put the file before i flash? I'm guessing I'd put it in the tools folder of my sdk directory, but not positive. ADB is installed to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, so if I drop the img into tools, it will flash correct. I've done it before but put the file in a few different spots just to make sure :cool:

I have tried many things and none worked. I have edited Widget.Button and Small.Inverse and since nothing I did made any changes I'm wondering if I'm in the right spot.

Here's my latest try:

<style name="Widget.Button" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmallInverse</item>

<item name="gravity">center</item>
<item name="background">@drawable/btn_default</item>

<style name="TextAppearance.Small.Inverse" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">@color/black</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHintInverse</item>
</style>

The result is still white text.

I've tried in place of "@color/black":

- #ff000000

- @color/bright_foreground_dark

- @color/bright_foreground_light

Funny thing is this:

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">@color/bright_foreground_dark</item>

I had a revelation about this after many failed attempts at recompiling.

Resources.arsc is a compilation of all of those hidden folders (values, etc.). If you change any of the xmls, especially the hidden folders, then you need to delete resources.arsc from the keep folder. If you don't delete it then it'll just use the original xml files from the apk and not the edited xml files from your projects folder.
