Better responsiveness than what? CM (or CM based ROMS)?

You're not going to get it.

CM7 = You want to use your tablet.

HC SDK Ports = You want some thing to toy around with that is basically unusable.
[Nook Color Android Development] moz90:
tried this rom for first time this summer after having it all summer and well its cool but not usable back to cm7 176 i go
[Nook Color Android Development] searius:
can I have the original one with 1920x1200 resolution thx.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
I love this room, but it really needs an overclock.

At this point that's unlikely though, so I'll stick with cm7 until ics.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
This project (at least my work on it) has been over for months. I advise anyone still using it to move on to CM7, for which support is still ongoing, and may even see CM8 (ice cream sammich)..
[Nook Color Android Development] karlonpc:
Dual boot

Can I flash this to my dual boot partition? If so, how?

Thanks,

Karl
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
That's CM9!
[Nook Color Android Development] jacobas92:
LOLWUT?

Where's the CM8?
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
CM team says CM8 is just your imagination. Although you can never be sure how serious they are being.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
CM8 is scheduled to come out after Google drops the source for Honeycomb.

Oh, wait . . . .
[Nook Color Android Development] jacobas92:
Oh well.

Apparently there are 1 or 2 people that might get started on development for nookbuntu again. Now THAT'S what Im waiting for.
[Nook Color Android Development] BHacker:
Is this the latest version of honeycomb for nook http://www.multiupload.com/71K84XF6BF ?
[Nook Color Android Development] jacobas92:
I believe RC4 is the latest.
[Nook Color Android Development] BHacker:
where is the link for the rc4?
[Nook Color Android Development] jacobas92:
I don't know, try searching.
[Nook Color Android Development] Macros617:
Okay so I tried flashing this but every time I flash the rom it tells me the installation was aborted. Any help? I'm flashing from internal cwm
[Nook Color Android Development] unsivil_audio:
did you format /system, /data, /cache? I don't have this installed personally but this is usually the reason a rom won't install.
[Nook Color Android Development] Macros617:
Yeah I formatted all of those and it still tells me the same thing =/

*UPDATE*

yeah sorry turns out the file I downloaded, and subsequently continued downloading, never finished downloading so it was an incomplete file. Sorry, installed fine!
[Nook Color Android Development] jacobas92:
My apologies, I thought that you were referring to deeperblue's work. Yes, the link you provided IS the most current. Again, my apologies.

On a side note, has anyone else been getting problems downloading apps from the market that don't require special permissions? Because other than market issues, and a few gui bugs, I love it. This may be my next dd.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Request to Madcat...

Please Please Please.

Since the source for HC is now here how easy/difficult is it to convert the SDK to normal ... ?

Maybe we could help...

Pavlos
[Nook Color Android Development] patruns:
Why? There are very few apps written for Honeycomb because they won't work on prior versions of Android. ICS fixes that by letting the o/s handle how the app works on the device, ie, tablet vs phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Well yes I preffer ICS too but it might be just alot easier to do HC since there is already an SDK port of it.

Just saying.
[Nook Color Android Development] patruns:
And SDK is only for app development. A full ROM needs to be created from actual source code. There is little point and Google has already come out and said ignore the Honeycomb source info. In fact, their press release said they were not even tagging the code, just including all the update history..... and they were very specific. Honeycomb was never complete!
[Nook Color Android Development] :
I'm gonna pretend I started this thread, and I'm gonna ask a mod to close it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
How about this.. the (now) mod that did start this thread will close it, since indeed, with ICS source out, this is going nowhere... :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Hmm.. i did check, and the kernel i included is a 1100 kernel, and SetCPU can change it. I did not mess with anything changing on boot, however without me even changing anything, i see that it is throttling up too 1100 (aka, i did not change the max from 800 to 1100 myself.. it was already doing that).
[Nook Color Android Development] yerand:
would you consider using the Asus soft keys instead of stock... many people seem to like them more :-)
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
If you have an apk handy, sure, we can bake it into the next rom. If you don't want to wait till then, you should be able to push it to /system/bin, and install it, and have it that way.
[Nook Color Android Development] J-ROCK:
Anybody interested in this rumor? HC coming to the nook color! 'Barnes & Noble to release new e-reader, according to securities filing' article with you. - http://tinyurl.com/3dmyqm3
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
People jumping to Honeycomb are REALLY jumping the gun.. How they get honeycomb out of "new eReader"is beyond me. Are people forgetting that there is still the original nook, and THAT might be the one getting replaced?
[Nook Color Android Development] J-ROCK:
Yea I agree! Just thought I would share this!
[Nook Color Android Development] yerand:
yeah, engadget started it *facepalm*
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
Just started playing around with this build tonight. The first things I did was to create a new zip with a working SU.

I was going to try to find for an easy way to include gapps, but I keep having touch issues with this rom. After booting up HC and playing around for about a minute, the screen stops responding. I can't swype through the home screens and the app drawer and the widget menu doesn't open. All I can touch is the bottom bar.

It's kind of hard to fully test the rom with that issue. I tried flashing the original zip file several times, but still no luck. I guess I'm the only one who as this issue altough I never had any touch issue on HC eMMC v2 that I use daily since a while.

Good luck on this, you already have deeper-blue, dalingrin and a whole community behind you in just one day. I'd like to try to contribute to your efforts, but I'll try to work on my touch issues first.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Actually, i have noticed the issue once or twice. However, I am unable to reproduce it.... I will say that a reboot fixes it, but i know that is a PITA...
[Nook Color Android Development] wtorres141:
Also had unresponsive screen, I installed LauncherPro...runs smooth, no FC.

changed LCD Density to 160...installed YouTube (2.1.6) from backup, opens my channel but does not play video. Gallery (1.1.30682) from backup, works well.

still no market )-;
[Nook Color Android Development] RobertsDF:
For the life of me I cannot get adb to work with me nook. Is it possible for someone to post a update.zip that would put the su file there, or an updated rom with that there?

Sorry to ask, I've just never been able to get adb to work with my nook, even after following all the guides and troubleshooting.
[Nook Color Android Development] PatF:
Here you go.
[Nook Color Android Development] RobertsDF:
Worked great, thanks! I was getting so frustrated trying to get adb working.
[Nook Color Android Development] PatF:
Ive never been able to get adb working on my NC either. I feel your pain. lol
[Nook Color Android Development] RobertsDF:
anyone else notice how fast the stock honeycomb browser loads webpages? It seems way faster then dolphin hd and opera did on cm7.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
You are correct. (Referring to previos quote)I tried honeycomg this morning and I noticed it too. Also for apps I tried the market on the web works seamlessly. But tried t install google body and it didn't. Went back to Cm7 had issues with sd card.
[Nook Color Android Development] deeper-blue:
Here comes the sound. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] PatF:
I have Google Body working but not YouTube, Gallery, and the CNN tablet app. I'm assuming they need renderscript working.
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
AND the Market...I don't know how or why this worked, but it did...I had this Vending.apk that I used when on Deeper Blue's build...I "took it with me" when flashing this rom ...It didn't take at first, But I did a few things that must've helped, because it works perfectly, and its the Honeycomb Market...it actually opened like that the first time....AFTER...I installed busybox, (newest) , killed the data in the SMALLEST of my 2 (?) Google Services Frameworks, and THEN went into SYSTEM/APPS/ and changed the permissions for the attached vending.apk to 644. There were two special permissions that I've never seen, assuming setUi and setGi refer to setuserid and setgoogleid, ....I unchecked both of these and the market immediately worked perfectly....Ill try the same thing with a YouTube as well....here's the file...great work btw on everything....Its cool to finally use REAL Honeycomb apps....http://db.tt/TZBiXoG that's the link to it in my dropbox...and thanks anonymously to whomever I got this from the 1st time..Lol.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
I noticed a rather annoying bug. Lets say I am in Angry birds or any other program for that matter and I back out and exit the program completely. If I goto the task manager/app switcher built into honeycomb I still see the application active/screen shot but if I click it then the application reloads. I guess its not flushing cache or something for the switcher to know the application is killed.
[Nook Color Android Development] PatF:
About the market.

I've uploaded it.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Hey Madcat, great work on this. I'll try it out when I get some free time.

How easy would it be to port the browser to gingerbread?

Keep on keepin' on :P
[Nook Color Android Development] chaval:
I cannot mount the SDCARD through Settings.

HC recognizes that I have an SD but when I press "Mount" nothing happens

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
You can use NookColorUMS it works just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] chaval:
Thx but it doesnt work.

I want to access the SD card in HC.

Mounting through adb didnt work either.

adb shell mount /sdcard
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Nice find... It's definitely a working Tablet Market! Tried downloading an app and it worked as should have.

Madcat. Might want to include this is your next update.

I feel like we have a complete tablet. No
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Not complete, but well on it's way!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I certainly will do so, unless somebody beats me to the punch; work is crazy right now, so i dont know how much dev time i will have today. However, the zip is easily re-packable, if somebody (anybody) is feeling bored. ;)

If not, i promise i will hit it up this evening. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
I just saw this thread and I'm very excited and impressed! Scanning down the thread, though, it looks like it's a quickly moving target. What I mean is that it looks like to get to the best state, you have to install base HC and then a bunch of add-ons for working audio, market, gapps, etc. Are most of these (where legal) going to be rolled back into the original build so that it's closer to one-stop shopping, or perhaps that's already happened?

Great work!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
must schedule some time to give this a try, thanks for all the great work!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I'm repacking a zip right now with updated Market, Alsa, and working Su. Gonna test it out. Then I'll post a link. Thanks for getting this back up and running again Madcat. And thank you deeper-blue for everything thus far. You guys rock!

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] bassrebel:
You guys are amazing, can't wait for the finished product
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
i was just trying to figure out how to do this.

needless to say, im happy youre doing it because i was failing.

thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Repacking takes time, but not that bad figuring out how to do it.. Flashing an update now to see if it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
i cannot thank you enough. I hate pawning off work, and could get it this evening, but i know it would kill people to wait that long. :)

While i am here, i want to thank everyone here so far, for all the input, in both testing and developing. Deeper-blue, racks, everyone, your input is amazing, and i cannot express how happy i am to be able to work with such a community. This really is what makes android so damned grand, and hopefully will never go away.

In terms of feedback, the one problem i would be interested in tracking down, is the occasional screen lock-up bug. As others reported, there are odd times where the lower navigation buttons will function, but the app drawer or anything else, will not. If this happens to you, could you please post a logcat from the device? (using adb: "adb shell logcat > aFileName.txt). I am not sure what it will yield, but it cant hurt to look there for clues.

Thanks everyone!
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Repacked

Working Sound, Market and Su. Still testing, but figured I'd post it here. Trying to figure out the red box next.

Red Box

Disregard this post. Thought I found a fix to the red box, but not as of yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
sweeeet.

once redbox is gone, sdcard is working, and screen response issues are gone, i will be :D
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
sdcard works fine on my end. I can read and install to it fine. It seems to me that the red box is some sort of feedback notifier.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Ha, you beat me to it! Busy trying to repack, flash, and test everything while trying to complete my real work @ work! :D

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
Would love to try this, but I get a "forbidden" message when I try to connect to this link (on work computer). Does anyone have a mirror?
[Nook Color Android Development] PatF:
I got the market opened up and flash to show up in the browser by stealing (almost)all the EeePad's info for build.prop. Flash works but shows nothing(tried TV Show Stream and adultswim.com), I have a feeling the video dsp isn't working and it's trying to accelerate the video.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Real work? What's that? ;)

Do you have market working in portrait or just landscape?
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
hmmm. my sdcard wont mount.

when i press mount in settings it registers my press but nothing happens.

do i need to do anything wiht partitioning it? i know that extX made a different in previous roms so maybe something is screwy there?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Well, considering that this is a Tablet Market. I'm assuming that it's fixed @ landscape for tablets.
[Nook Color Android Development] PatF:
Mine only works in landscape, I just assumed this was because it's a tablet version of the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
no su access here
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
red box....turn it off in dev tools//development settings/strict mode indicator__:-)
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Figured, but I was hoping. I'm old school portrait mode preferred!
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
after formatting and partitioning my sdcard in recovery it now works.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Thanks for this!
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
Nice...location services worked for a second in the first build now I'm having trouble finding location with out latitude activated.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Thank you everyone again. I have posted the updated .zip in the op, and tried to credit everyone. If i left you off, it was not intentional; lemme know so i can get your name on there.

For me right now, the two big issues I see are the occasional screen lockups, and the overall smoothness of the system (the app drawer is a bit sluggish). If i can say so myself, things are coming along quite well, and I am loving the input so far. Please keep it all up!
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Regarding the screen lockups: I notice them more when I try to quickly move from the app draw and then back home. Not sure if that's the case with everyone, but from playing around, that's when I've noticed it the most.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
yes exactly.

what i found is that if it locks up and you go from landscape to portrait or vice versa it fixes it. what seems to be happneing is that it goes home so none of the app icons work, but it doesnt remove the image of them.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Well, Angry Birds RIO works, so in reality, is there anything else that matters?
[Nook Color Android Development] Rockwig:
Has anybody gotten the Calendar to work in Honeycomb?

I'm not seeing the apk's in the zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
I hate to be that guy, but...

does sleep work? :P All the HC apps (gmail tablet/youtube tablet/etc?)
[Nook Color Android Development] :
What? They're all right there in system/app....

EDIT: Except calendar :P
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Just did a quick test, and installed root explorer. hitting the mount R/W button does not seem to trigger SU; I did the

adb remount
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

,

and now it activates. It looks like the update-script will need that specific permission added.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigwilly90210:
This is awesome!!! I'm flashing right now! Can't wait to see how this develops! There's already so much being done! Awesome work guys! I love seeing the community come together like this.

Quick question: I may have missed this, but is this ROM using the latest OC kernels? Or just stock? I'm just curious. I'll figure out what SetCPU says here in a bit, just curious if they were compatible or do we have to wait for some Honeycomb SDK 11 specific kernels. Thanks again guys!
[Nook Color Android Development] bradputt:
i couldn't get rom manager to work. it says it doesn't have SD card mounted.
[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
Where does this get added? :confused:

- Not really a noob, I just sound like one.......
[Nook Color Android Development] :
No OC'd kernels.

The kernel devs are busy with CM7 right now.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
ihad to format and repartition my sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Just use adb to do that.

If you want it hard-coded with the zip, add it to...

META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script (I think).
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Don't have SetCPU, but believe this is still stock Kernal.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
I'll add this to my update script and re-upload it. Just noticed it update script sets it in xbin and not bin

Screen Issues

Anyone try this yet for the screen being somewhat unresponsive?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.assid.android.nookrecalibrate&feature=search_result

I use this every time I flash a new nightly and I did it the manual way (prior to the app) when I was on HC EMMC v2 "back in the day" and it seems to help. Could be the placebo effect, but worth a shot.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Updated Script - If you already downloaded the update file and don't want to again, just replace the file at META-INF -> com -> google -> android with the attached.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
