Disappearing Notifications

Anyone else had an issue where notifications disappear? I'm no longer getting any notifications on the status bar, but when I tap the clock, they're there. I'm not sure if I installed something that broke them, but it is a slight annoyance. Any ideas on how to fix it?
[Nook Color Android Development] ieAnd:
Yes please!

Hey demon; you think you could throw this together for me? I'm stuck in a theater "working" from 4-11pm after classes every day this week, and I could really use something new to play with. Can't bring in my computer but I'm sure I could swing in my Nook while sitting up in the booth. I could flash it tonight/tomorrow morning before I pass the balls out.

Only if you have the time/desire of course, if you don't feel like it feel free to disregard this altogether :)
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
Due to a few requests that I've received and since Divine_Madcat isn't here for a while, here is a link to download the hybrid-rc1 that includes the fixed Ramdisk made by Racks.

There is nothing different from hybrid-rc1 by Divine_Madcat other that the new uRamdisk made by Racks.

All that is required to do is to a full wipe and then flash it!

***IMPORTANT*** Make sure that you wipe everything first, otherwise you are most likelly to have wifi issues (or any other issues). It was required on my side to make wireless work.

Please refer to the original post for details and information.

Here's the multiupload link to this... Have fun!

** EDIT **

Forgot to mention that according to Racks, the SD card needs to be already in when booting so it can be mounted. It will most likely not work after booting.

You're a boss. Thank you so much.

I'm still not having anyluck getting my sd mounted and I have tried 2 different ones (2gb and 16Gb), how does the sd show up when you run the mount command? I have tried replacing the uramdisk in the zip and tried pushing it with ADB.
[Nook Color Android Development] ieAnd:
So any general performance tips anyone can give me? About to flash this puppy.
[Nook Color Android Development] hockeyfamily737:
Make sure to do a full wipe.....Under mounts and storage, wipe the following; system, data, cache and then under advanced wipe Dalvik Cache (machine will lock up). Do a hard power down and reboot to recovery then flash that zip.

***EDIT*** DO NOT WIPE BOOT PARTITION!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
I forgot to mention that the SD card needs to be present in the device BEFORE booting.

I always boot my nook with the SD inserted and I never swap it, so I've never even tried to see if there's a way to mount it manually, but Racks mentionned that the SD will only mount during boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] ieAnd:
Did and done. Running well. Well minus the laggy launcher. Any "Launcher that plays nice with this build of Honeycomb" recommendations?

Also, am I correct in assuming that the only way to load applications is via ADB?
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
On a tablet, my prefered custom launcher is Zeam, it looks good, it fast and it's stable. Even though, I stick to the HC default launcher because I like its looks even if it's a bit buggy.

You should be able to install any (available) app from the market or you can also install them from directly from any file explorer. I said "available" since some applications I have on my phone are not available for my nook, but they can usually be side loaded without any issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] dunndada:
I tried the uploaded zip and followed directions exactly but still no SD card... Weird... I go into file manager and there is nothing showing under sd card.
[Nook Color Android Development] mmone3:
Im in the same boat as you with no sdcard being mounted and I always leave the sd installed before boot. Last night I even tried going back to stock 1.2 and then back to this HC.

demonofsteel: Can you please adb shell into you nook and list the output when you run mount, I would like to see how the sd is mounted. Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] dunndada:
i dont use adb... this is my 3rd attempt going from cm7.1 with the .32 kernel. I use a cwm sd card and always throw my 8gb sd card in before boot... On a side note if you havnt tried the 7.1 with .32 kernel the battery life is uncanny. i was at 2d 3h this morning with several hours of pocket legends being played and still had 43%.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rockwig:
I had the same issue last night. Everything was working fine for a day, when it just locked up. I rebooted and Honeycomb would no longer see the SDCard. The card was in before I booted. I end up just rebooting again and again and eventually the SDCard showed up. It took a handful of reboots.
[Nook Color Android Development] dunndada:
is it normal to not see any boot animation?
[Nook Color Android Development] mmone3:
Since restoring to stock 1.2 and then back to HC I no longer have any boot animation too, guessing this zip image is missing the boot animation. I have a blank screen then the lock shows up.
[Nook Color Android Development] dunndada:
cool.... the first time it threw me for a loop.... i really wish i could get this sd card mounted so i can see what apps will work with hc and which wont.

Google Music invite for "Xoom"

um . . . i just got an invite for Google Music beta's cloud service because of my, ahem, Xoom. i'm assuming this is because of what the Market thinks my Nook Color is.

thanks, build.prop file!

anybody else?

edit: and . . . it works! synching and streaming music from my Nexus One now.

honeycomb is awesome, was great to try it out using this. Just doesn't seem to be ready to actually use on the nook. Couldn't get hardly anything to launch, would instantly close.

As much as i liked honeycomb i might have to look into getting a transformer.

How much of an improvement is the hybrid build over RC3?

Sent from Soft-Rooted HTC Desire using Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
I went back to RC3, because, while the SD card would mount, many apps wouldn't "see" it properly. For instance, the Music player didn't find any of my music.
[Nook Color Android Development] hubtime:
Yeah tell me about it!

The Fricken Transformer is ranking right up there with a Unicorn! The line is long...:mad:
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
I got an invite too because I seem to own a Xoom... What's funny is that they mentionned that the beta is for US residents only, but I'm from Canada.

Here's the line that shows the SD card mounted...

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage-cp437,iocharset=iso8859,errors=remount-ro 0 0

I never had any issue with the SD card from my side, I've heard about a few issues with SD cards, it could be some sort of SD card incompatibility or I don't know what else. I've used a 16 GB class 10 Patriot, a 8GB class 4 Kingston and a 1GB unknown class no name. I never had any issue with any of them.

The hybrid-RC1 uses the framework of an Asus eeepad Transformer which makes it much smoother to use than RC3 and previous releases. It also included more apps.

The downside is that the SD card is not handled as well as it used to be in previous builds.

You can take a look at the original post for more information about this.
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisliphart:
Got my notifications issue worked out. Apparently it was user error; I accidently turned them off in the notification popup. lol

This is running smooth as butter for me using Launcher Pro, and I'm having very, very few force closes. I wish there was a way to get Netflix to run on it, but I can live without that. The only other issue I ran into was the Kindle app, but loading an older apk fixed that for me. This is definitely my daily driver after a few days!

Weird: I like to keep my home screen very empty and just enjoy the background pic (and no, this isn't the weird part :). I noticed that infrequently when I long press the screen, say in trying to remove an icon, it would seem like I missed the icon by just a tad and I would end up actually dragging around a widget like the weather widget or the calendar widget. But I wasn't in the mode to install widgets or apps to the home screen. I am not knowledgeable at all on any of the behind the scenes work that is being done, just a pretty good installer, but I wonder if this oddity has anything to do with the screen freezes. Anybody else able to reproduce this phenomenon?

Stuck in Boot loop

So Im kind of new to with the Nook but I have CWM 3.0.2.8. installed from the ROM Manager. I placed the HC zip onto my SD card. I booted into recovery and flashed the HC file. I boot the Nook and I get to the boot animation screen (the android guy getting all colored in) but it just loops. Any Ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] hubtime:
"New to the Nook...."

First of all, welcome to the club. You will enjoy the NC (Nook).

Well it looks like, worst case, you will have to reboot back in to CWM and reflash RC1

1. Power down.

2. hold power button until screen flashes/cuts on.

3. Immediately then hold volume up and home button at the same time until you see CWM.

4. Flash the Demonofsteel version of the RC1 (v2) Follow his instructions here (wipe the system, data, Dalvik, etc as he describes):

I see a lot of you have been invited to Google Music. I just got HC on my NC today. Any chance you guys think Ill get the invite :) ? I really want it lol
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
I think your build.prop file has to be spoofing a Xoom (as opposed to the Asus Transformer), and you then need to sign in to the Market as such.

Good luck!

Im looking through the 3.1 sdk posted here, and it looks like the data folder is not present like in the 3.0 sdk. Im adding it into the zip to try, and making some edits to the the build.prop to see if it boots.
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
That doesn't change anything at all. In my tests, I've always used the data folder from the 3.1 SDK. I also edited build.prop so it would appear as a Xoom updated to 3.1.

I didn't have time to work on it recently, but I'll hopefully have time soon. We're almost there, but there is still a few things to fix.

Most likely deeper-blue will come out with something by himself before we work something out.

Yes there is a way to get the UI from previous versions in honeycomb, but this by no means mean that it's gingerbread.

It's very easy to come up with the previous UI style in honeycomb, just mess around with build.prop by specifing a different LCD density or resolution and you will get the previous UI instead of HC.

Honeycomb is very different from gingerbread behind the scenes. If HC would be that much similar to gingerbread, the HC source code would already be released.

Damn .. I am seeing the same issue as well,

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /mnt/cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

Actually don't even see a device called /dev/block/mmcblk1px .. there is just a blk1 which I am assuming is the controller ?

how does one find the moral equivalent of a syslog in android packages ? want to see if the driver had issues ..

** EDIT **

May have a clue, the script likely mounts mmcblk1p1, but my setup reports it as mmcblk1 only, wonder if I need to partition the SD card. Setup ADB wireless and looked at kmsg logs and found no issues except no trace of a mount request. Manually mounted ... and viola

C:\...\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

root@android:/ # mount -t vfat -o rw,dirsync,nodev,noexec /dev/block/mmcblk1 /sdcard

SD

Has anyone had luck getting HC to show the SD card in settings or capable of being used my apps? :confused:

I'm running the Update HC Hybrid RC1... is there an update to RC2 or greater?

Thanks all. Cheers.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rogue Leader:
Just wanted to post to say thanks for this its really killer, I'm using it daily even though its a bit limited compared to CM7, it does everything I want fast and it looks cool!

After reading through all the posts I just want to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.

Flash - tried editing the build.prop to get it to download flash as per an earlier post, it didn't work (won't download it). I'm assuming even if I could get the .apk for flash and side load it it still won't work right?

Youtube - tried what some said here and used the widget to load it, which works, but it won't play any video at all (tried many different ones). Best I could get was on some known SD videos it plays 1/2 a second on some and then stops. I'm assuming thats about the best I'm gonna get out of that right now as well?

Thanks guys!
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisliphart:
Soooo, I'm dying to get in on the Google Music goodness. What needs to be changed in the build.prop to spoof a Xoom?

Incidentally, I just realized that the newer Music app FCs for me. Anyone else having this issue? If that crashes, having an invite is moot. lol
[Nook Color Android Development] setix:
it crashes for me too. but i found that if you play music directly from the widget, then tap on the album art, it launches the music app normally.
[Nook Color Android Development] wi11iamedward:
I've been using Autokiller and setting it with the preset of "ultimate". This alone seems to make my HC install blazing fast.

I might add, that if you do set it as high as I have that you may encounter some freezing with apps... if you do just click on your previous apps list, click one, then click back and usually it will resolve this lag... but it's rare.
[Nook Color Android Development] hp2point0:
Flash

Anyone having trouble with Flash Player? If i go to my browser it warns me that i do not have flash player. It directs me to the market which looks like i have it already installed. Ill click open from the market and it says "requested item could not be found". I tried to go to Manage Applications in the settings but it will not let me uninstall from there either.

See my last mail, you can manually mount the SDcard. After that HC settings will report strange wrong things, but your apps will happily use the SDcard.

What do you mean by "you can manually mount the sdcard"? Which version of HC are you using?

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] kLAcK107:
I am running HoneyComb Hybrid RC1 v2, but I could not get the sdcard to show up in apps. I assumed it was suppose to be automatically mounted at boot.

Do we have to do this command manually every power cycle?
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisliphart:
So here's a stupid question:

In trying to play around with the build.prop to get Netflix to work (before I realized that Netflix can't work with Honeycomb), I changed it to show my NC as a Nexus S. I just realized that that is keeping me from installing HC specific apps, so I reverted back to the original build.prop, rebooted, and still can't install HC apps. Any idea on how to fix this? I've tried clearing the cache for both Market and My Apps to see if that would refresh it, but I'm still not able to install. To be clear, I can install regular Android apps; it's just the Honeycomb ones that throw back an error on install.
[Nook Color Android Development] Berzerker7:
Just rooting this for a friend when I came across this:

Not working:

- SD Card - RIght now, this is the big one. Not sure what about the framework change killed hte SD card, but i dont seem to see mine any more. If anyone has any ideas,lemme know

Just so you guys know (no idea if it's been pointed out already) Honeycomb doesn't even support SDCards at all, so unless you can hack in the support yourselves, you're SOL. Every other HC device that supports SDCards (Transformer, XOOM soon) have the code all hacked in.
[Nook Color Android Development] screech:
RC1_v2 is the version I have right now. As I said in one of my posts from before the mmcblk1p1 partition does not exist on my SD, Do not have any partitions. The detected block device is mmcblk1 as reported by the SD/block driver.

The auto mount did not happen, so as noted, I login, su and issue the mount command which works fine. Currently I do have to issue this every reboot.

Will spend some time next weekend building an SDK cooker (have the build from source setup for CM7 currently)

Racks, can you post a diff for the change you made in the ramdisk for _v2 ?

The one's that are having issues mounting on init. What HC version are you using? If everyone is having the same issues, I'll edit init and repack the ramdisk. Over 500 downloads and you're one of the first 2 people to say anything.

I don't have a backup of cm7 or froyo. Just a nadroid of eclair. What is the purpose of having the other backups?
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisliphart:
I make a backup every time I switch ROMs, in case I need to go back. For instance, after fudging up my initial install of Honeycomb, I rolled back to my CM7 install for a bit. Of course, after about a day, I realized that Netflix alone wasn't worth using a blown-up phone interface. lol But seriously, if you boot into a new ROM and realize that something doesn't work right, you'd want to be able to go back to a fully set-up system, right? I delete my backups to save space after 2 or 3 solid days on a new ROM. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisliphart:
Weird. Make a new card and see if that works. I have no problem booting my card when I need it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rogue Leader:
Sounds like not a problem with Honeycomb but a problem with your card. I'd re-do your Clockwork bootable SD and try that.
