is the newest HC able to work on the SD for booting?
[Nook Color Android Development] chadamir:
I recently have been having trouble with Greader and greader pro (it keeps crashing on the loading screen and not loading articles). I backed up my stuff with titanium and cwm and then formatted and flashed the newest build and the OC kernel. After I restarted I restored greader and had the same problem, but what was even weirder is that the home button did not work any more (the big N button). Why would that happen? Also how can I figure out why greader is crashing since it works for others?
[Nook Color Android Development] gregh77:
does this work off the SD card to boot? so i dont have to mess with internal nook...
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Need to be more specific. What ROM?
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
I've had the same problem with gReader ever since nightly-59, and I've tried 1000 things to fix it. Nothing worked, so I ended up having to switch to Justareader in order to continue running Nightlies. :(

gReader does work with the Stable releases, just not the nightlies...

[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
yes please
[Nook Color Android Development] :
After thinking about what that would take to do, I don't feel it would be in my best interest to do it in that format. Sure it looks nice, but as things change so quick around here, checking in with EVERY ROM and doing all that would be a bit more than I want to do. I'm willing to flash CM7 stuff, and I'll keep my ears to the ground DAILY, but will keep it in the same-ish format as I have it in. If you have a specific question, ask.
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
Does the ext4 OC kernel in the OP work for SD installs, and if not, is there an ext4-SD kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
No, that is for eMMC only. I hear this will work:

[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Just an FYI, but all of the overclock Kernels posted in my thread here are all prepped for ext4 SD installs. Since all the roms I prepped are made to be used with ext4 partitions on SD.

[Nook Color Android Development] :
Haha, I never touch SD installs anymore, so sometimes I see SD and don't even read the title. Thanks racks...going into OP.
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
Hehe, did you hear that from me? I posted it just a bit ago in dalingren's thread ;) It did indeed work, though you end up re-installing the whole ROM, and it seemed to take longer than the initial upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3.

I'll keep an eye on Racks' thread for future updates.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Ha, I just grabbed it real quick. Didn't see who posted it :P
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Okay, since this is "answers to your questions all here":

For the NOOKcolor - what makes an SD "bootable" ?

In other words, so that when the NC checks the SD card, it will do things on the SD card rather than the eMMC ?
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Barnes and Noble manufactured the Nook Color by design to boot from an SD card by default, if the SD card has something bootable on it.

This would be the same as changing the boot order on a computer to boot first from a CD (or USB), before the hard drive. Then insert a CD and if it has something bootable, the computer will boot into it. Otherwise, if the CD has nothing bootable, the computer will boot off the hard drive.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Thanks, but there was a mis-communications.

I am merely wondering what makes one SD card in the SD card ignored by the Nook Color, and so it boots from eMMC, and yet another SD card is recognized as "bootable".

What do you need to have ? Formatted a certain way ? Partitioned a certain way ?

Somehow I get the impression that it can't just be a u-boot.bin file...
[Nook Color Android Development] jmak10:
CM7 Beta 2 SD Card partitioning

I converted over to this emmc version from the SD card based CM7 version. I formated my SD card into one 8GB FAT partition and wanted to know if it needs to have more partitions on it (ext2,3, or 4, FAT, and swap?) If so, can I partition the card using Rom Manager and what sizes should I use? The NC appears to be working correctly with the one big partition and I already have my card backed up.

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] jzibit17:
ace7196-I guess flashing nightlies isnt much of a deal to some one who does it all the time but some nightlies according to changeslog dont change much and isnt worth the update in my point. I know this might became alot more work but it would be nice to keep a log of fixes and if worth upgrading to that build. That way people get to choose if its worth the time.

For example im debating if i want to update from 69 to 70 because of this fix "Don't enable the light sensor if it's not being used" but is that worth the time updating (backing up rom, downloading , installing ect....) or should i just wait till next nightly?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Sorry, but how did you not answer your own question? Unless it is highlighted in the CM7 changelog for encore and you don't know/haven't heard it's an issue, why bother?
[Nook Color Android Development] liqn7:
Newest flash version is 10.3 with supposedly performance and stability fixes.

Are these improvements enough to overcome the flash from B&N's 1.2 which has been optimised for the NC?

Any feedback from people who have tested and compared it so far?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
In short, no.

I haven't had time to hack up 10.3, but I installed it and tried it out.

In short, the bn specific flash is only hardware accelerated when you watch a flash video and the text "Not Optimized for Mobile" DOESN'T pop-up (so basically the mobile youtube.com site). Other than that 10.2 and 10.3 perform much better for "real world" youtube. If you followed my post and use hulu, stick w/10.2 (you aren't missing much). If no hulu, 10.3 is just as good.

[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Unfortunately (and this is the problem with FAQ threads for such incredibly-fast-moving development on devices like the Nook Color) it is already out of date, as the current nightlies have already had some huge changes to them.

I believe Nightly 75 and over requires a new uboot (despite this not being documented anywhere in either CM7 thread except by people having issues flashing them and trying to analyze the wreckage).

Also, I believe the USB mounting app doesn't work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086313

[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Sorry, this wasn't an attack at you. I love guide threads as you can tell by my signature :D

This is more of a suggestion that to make this effective, a build-by-build post would be more beneficial, since as we've seen, there have been some *HUGE* changes from nightly to nightly.

I'm not saying your post is bad. Not at all. :) I commend you for your efforts. Your goal is a high one to reach :cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] angomy:
Some things:

- 10.2 seems to (subjectively) work smoother for me in various Flash-based video sites, such as Hulu or Dramafever, than 10.3 or the updated 10.3.x that came out today I think. I had some slight stutter using 10.3 for high-res tv episodes (see 49 Days on Dramafever) and in Netflix that I don't see in 10.2.

- Nightly 76-80 wouldn't boot for me without going into recovery and installing .32 OC kernel. I was already using u-boot 1.2 when I tried this so I don't know if they work with 1.1. Was using nightly 75 with a (ext4 modified installer script) 4/24/11 .29 kernel because of Adobe Flash issues I'm having with .32 kernel (YMMV), but not being able to go into USB storage mode is too much of a pain so there was no real benefit for not running just 7.0.3 stable w/ .29 OC kernel, even with no real deep sleep.

- 7.0.3 stable w/ .29 OC kernel works fine with VG's 1.2 u-boot
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Added a hopefully good combo pack of things needed to boot nightlies.
[Nook Color Android Development] only one haze:
Moved this from the CM7 General Discussion thread....

Just saw this in the OP:

CM7 Version: Nightly 75, 78

- Uboot Version: 1.1, 1.2

- Linux Kernel Version: .29

- OC Kernel: 042411(ext4)

Does that mean that N75 and N78 can use either uboot or N75 is 1.1 and N78 is 1.2? Seeing that I have 1.2 already, how does N78 compare to Stable 7.0.3? Thanks for the help! I am only on day 3 using CM7, got tired of waiting for AN for 1.2, love it so far.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Correct.

Nighties have the latest and greatest. And they may break stuff. IMO nightlies are always better performance wise, but buyer-beware...

Also, backups are always you friend :D
[Nook Color Android Development] only one haze:
Cool, I will try N78 tonight then. And I know all about bleeding edge builds and hiccups being a long time XBMC user. Do I need a special CWM for dual boot or just the regular one and it will flash to the main partition?

One more question to go along with this...I have never done a full backup in CWM, I have only done Titanium Backup backups. Will the CWM save all my settings and stuff that I can reload ontop of N78 or does it back up my stable 7.0.3 build and settings and will restore all of that overtop of a bjorked install? Again thanks for the help and patience.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
You're going to need to check the dualboot threads for that. Or search google. I've never done dualboot goodness, so not sure.

CWM will save everything (it just copies all your partitions [data, system, etc] to image files, then burns them to the emmc when you restore). It will only backup your stuff, but if you restore it, it restores ON TOP OF everything, so not good for transferring settings. I've done and advanced restore and restored only data, but that carries some risks. TB is probably best for apps. Just don't restore system apps.

Also, if you're feeling crazy, you could wait for nightly 81, which will have new drivers for everything, as well as true deep sleep (I think). Check out the beta thread to see what's going on with that build.
[Nook Color Android Development] only one haze:
Awesome. I think I'll stick to N78 tho. Have been using 7.0.3 the past couple days and was looking at the OC kernel today and thought what the hell, why not?
[Nook Color Android Development] thechrisventura:
Weird Problem?

Ok, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'll give it a shot. I've been running a dual-boot of CM7 on the first partition and stock on the second partition for months now and have had next to no problems. I recently updated the u-boot to multi-boot 0.4 and upgraded to the test CM7 beta. After this, things became really finicky. It acts almost as if my power button is being held down at random. I get the power button menu popping up all the time, it shuts down at random, and sometimes takes several tries to even boot. This occurs in my CM7 partition, as well as my stock 1.2 partition, and even sometimes when trying to boot into CWM, although once I get into CWM it works fine. I recently updated to Nightly 84 with the same issue. Is this a hardware problem, or could it be software related? I wanted to think it was hardware, but it happened as soon as I updated the u-boot and the test CM7 beta, and I have never done anything that would damage it. Any help??
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Best ask the dualboot thread. I have no experience with that stuff.
[Nook Color Android Development] thechrisventura:
I think I may have fixed it somehow...but thanks anyway!

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] EL TEJANO:
I've noticed something odd since running Wireless Tether; my battery temp gets extremely hot, so much so that when I lifted my phone to do a reboot on it, the paint on my phones battery cover had bubbled up & started to peel. I have a HTC Hero (My Evo got water damage). On the market there's a similar app called "Open Garden" & in the pics it has an option to adjust the Transmit Power, which may or may not help in the battery temp, but upon downloading & installing it to my phone that option is not available.

Has anyone had similar issues while running Wireless Tether? Is there an app or a tweak that can limited how much power the battery pumps out so to speak?

Before the tether my batt tempt was at 100 °F now its jumped up to 115 °F.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
I had the same issue a few times when I was charging via USB while I was using Wireless Tether. The battery would get pretty hot but not to the point your describing. And after a while the battery didn't hold a charge. So I've replaced my battery with a new one and since then I've switched to Barnacle Wireless Tether and I don't notice the battery overheating problem anymore. I also don't notice the connection dropping several times a day either like I did when I was using the Wireless Tether.

[Fascinate General] Shinebox:
I don't think it was that hard to get the carriers and manufacturers to agree to this seeing that every Android OS update after Ice Cream Sandwich will run on every device, completely eliminating fragmentation.

However, seeing that they got carriers to agree to this, Samsung is going to have the best devices because it will only come down to hardware. Samsung made hardware advancements to the Galaxy S II line making CyanogenMod for it pretty useless...unless you like the theme.

[Fascinate General] shahud:
Pretty hard to disagree with that logic.

I think I'm pretty much done with Samsung as well. My contract isn't up for another year and a half though and I don't really feel like paying 200 plus dollars for a new phone so i'm kinda stuck for a while. But when I am able to upgrade I won't be making the mistake of getting a Samsung phone again.

However, the developers here on xda have made this phone way easier to deal with and have made this phone much better. I actually like my phone now but it shouldn't be up to the developers to make me like my phone.

That's just my opinion though.

Figured it all out! Delete thread please.

Hey. I'm having some problems upgrading to the newest version of The FroyoMOD (2.7.0). I'm currently using 2.5.0.7 and I've got root.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Free version of Rom Manager: Install from SD-card -> Wipe Dalvik Cache -> phone reboots -> the load screen comes up and then hits 10% and I get the /!\ icon. Then the phone reboots yet again, but just into the old version (2.5.0.7).

Install through recovery: reboot into android system recovery -> apply sdcard:update.zip -> I get this error:

E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or dir)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

As soon as I get to the system recovery menu I also get this error message:

E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, any help would be appreciated.

So I love my Transformer, but for some reason Youtube is just junk on it. Everything shows fine in regards to pictures and the interface is quick and snappy, but when I go to watch a video it either 1) literally takes nearly 5 minutes to start playing, 2) only takes about 2 minutes to start playing but then stops to load some more every 15 seconds or so, or 3) doesn't play at all.
