[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khalleron:
After updating to the 113 nightly from CM7.0.3 stable (because I wanted the better battery life), I got the Chipmunk bug.

I've been through all these threads, tried everything suggested, this app as well.

Nothing has worked. For some reason, I cannot write to the system folder no matter what I do - it fails to mount in ES File Explorer, Root Explorer won't write to it (yes, I did push the Mount R/W button at every opportunity).

I run NetFix, it tells me it needs to reboot - I reboot, but the build.prop file is same as it ever was.

I couldn't change the build.prop in stable, either, but at least Netflix ran, first with the device agnostic apk and then with the prior version from the Market (the newer version apparently checks for devices again, because the Market won't let me access it).

The Hulu+ app runs fine - I don't understand with the problem is with the nightlies and Netflix (even if you explain it to me, I probably wouldn't understand it).

I don't want to rant - you guys do a wonderful job and it is MUCH appreciated. Really. I'm a bit frustrated now is all.

I'm not a developer, just a user. I'm hoping that reporting the problem will help you fix it.

Thanks for all your fine work, and thanks for listening.

Will this work with CM7 running from the sd card?

If so, will I still be able to remove the card and revert back to Nook original?

Thanks for any help.

Are you running from the sdcard?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khalleron:
Yes, I am.

That's crazy. I got the chipmunk virus and just used this little app here and cake. I'm on 113 as well but boot from emmc. Maybe that is the problem idk

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khalleron:
I don't know if it's crazy or not - I can only relate what happened.

I've never been able to change the build.prop - none of the software suggested in the Netflix threads has allowed me to write to the system folder. I think that's the basis of the problem. I've tried all the suggestions, except using ABD, and none of them have worked.

I haven't used ABD because I don't know what it is - as I said, I'm not a developer; I look at command lines and my brain freezes.

Sad, but true.

None of which explains why even Root Explorer can't write to my system folder.

All of which is moot now because I reverted to CM7.0.3 and I'm back to where I was - crappy battery but everything works.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
I think I have a fix. Try this app out sdcard users. It is not quite finish yet, but it should get the job done. Remember to reboot after applying the Netflix fix. Please give feedback.

The issue is that the sdcard is missing some aliases or links. The command to mount /data in read/write mode is:

busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theorist:
hi brian. thanks first and foremost for your awesome work.

i can't get it running. these are my steps. i have cm7 running of sd.

i have latest version cm7 nightly.

i downloaded netfix and installed it through the nook.

i downloaded the busybox thing from android market.

not sure if i have to do anything in busybox app.

so i opened netfix and said change to bn -> htc

i reboot.

i go and check android store and still cannot see netflix.

thanks to anyone that can help.

I tried this, but it never exits (from uSD part). I let it sit for five mins with screen on the whole time and nothing. I tried to reboot anyway and there was no change.

Download netflix from the other thread. I think there is a link on the 2nd page of this thread.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
Can you run the code snippet and post the output?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danbutter:
Not sure if I did it right or not, but I got this:

permission denied (are you root?)

had this same issue with an earlier version of CM7 when netflix first came out for android. Nothing could change permissions to RW on that install either.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
Type:

su

then type the command again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danbutter:
Same thing. just says permission denied this time though...doesn't ask if I'm root.

I've made a post in verygreen's thread asking if he knows what is going on here also.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theorist:
DONE! and it works! only problem is the chipmunk sound as well... but i can verify that it definitely runs off sd card.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theorist:
hi. please explain what you did with busybox? i just installed it and there's an app now called "busybox installer" in my app drawer. that's it, just leave it there?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
Due to the limited size of the memory on portable devices, a lot of the commonly used system commands were combined into one binary (program) to save space. That one "program" is called busybox. So, normally you could run the mount command by just typing "mount". With busybox, you would have to type "busybox mount". Some tricks can be done so when you type "mount" it really runs "busybox mount". For some reason, those tricks aren't working or not setup.

Either either case, you must be running as the superuser. To switch to super user, you would have to type su then enter. At the point, your prompt will change from a $ to a #. Once you are superuser, then you can run system commands. You will not have the ability to run su unless your device is rooted.

What I need to find out is if the device is not root properly or if it is a busybox issue. If you can run su and your prompt changes, then you are rooted. Do not type the $ or #, those are prompts.

$su
#

If that works, type

#mount

Does is say command not found or does it give information about your mounted partition. If it doesn't work type:

#busybox mount

What is the output?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
Now, run my app, apply the fix then reboot and test netflix.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
Do you have superuser installed? If so, run superuser and verified that my app is not denied.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NCKevo:
Netflix working on CM7 nightly 113

This is how I got Netflix working, I'm a total noob to all of this, so I'll explain the steps I took as much as I can:

First I had to get read-write permissions on the build.prop file (I was getting errors saving it with ES File Explorer like many others).

Open the terminal emulator, type in;

su
busybox mount -0 rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /system

This mounts the /system folder, which has the build.prop that you want to edit permissions on. Then type in

chmod +rw /system/build.prop

To grant read/write permissions on this file. (Thanks to this thread; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131657)

Now you should be able to edit the file using ES File Explorer as recommended. I set them to;

ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Then I downloaded the Netflix app from (I went with the first link);

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

Then went to Menu>Settings>Applications, and check the box Unknown Sources so you can manually install the .apk.

Navigate to where the browser downloaded the file (for me it was the /download folder) using File Expert (app, has superuser permissions) and run the installer.

Now Netflix should appear in the app drawer, and you can run it. It will prompt you to update the app, but I wasn’t able to get that to work. Also, it’s really slow and unresponsive for me, but it works and there's no chipmonking, so I’m happy!

[Running CM 7 nightly 113 with the latest Dalgreen OC kernel]
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danbutter:
I do, I did, it is not.

BUT...even superuser cannot update itself.

It says it tried, but failed to update and to reboot into recovery to allow it to update. I tried that, but it didn't update, but it is probably expecting different directory structure anyway.

When I run your app or any other that needs root I get no notification that anything is given root and there are no apps. in the list of superuser...not are there any logs.

I also tried to update busybox and the installer was not allowed root. superuser doesn't show even an attempt by the busybox installer to gain root.

So I'm not sure what is going on.

Nobody has answered my post on verygreen's thread yet, but I'll try to keep up with that and this thread.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theorist:
is your cm7 running off sd card?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
I don't think it is a directory structure issue. It sounds as if your device is not rooted. I would try to use the latest nightly. If you can't get root, you will not be able to apply the fix via any method.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
I've added the chmod command to the app. Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NCKevo:
IRT: theorist

Yes, I'm running off the SD card.

You may already have busybox on your system if you're running CM7 - I did the same thing, download the installer, then it alerted me that I may already have it, so I tried the command and it worked (ie, busybox was already installed). I don't have my nook with my now, but you may also be able to type in "man busybox" in the terminal emulator - if you have it, and it has a man page then something will appear.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danbutter:
Updated to RC 7.1.0 and was able to get root (finally!).

Got your updated nook odds and ends and ran it, it exited this time and I rebooted.

No change. I tried the whole thing again. No change.

So I did it again, but this time I turned the NC off. Turned it back on and the value was changed and now netflix has no more chipmunks!

So the key is to NOT reboot, but turn off and back on. Seems like the same thing, but I guess something is different.

HTH someone.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theorist:
hi. thanks for replying back. everything is moved to phone. it was previous on SD.

Cm7 is still on the sd card. latest version nightly.

it says "man: not found" when i type that in.

when i try busybox installer again, it says:

Failure! /system/xbin cound not be remounted as RW! This is FATAL and we cannot recover. We have died.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DrSarcasmo:
Theorist, did you use the Busybox installer with the blue arrow in the icon? That's the one that worked for me. The other one, the one with the gears in the icon, gave me the same error you had...

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DizzyDen:
Sorry to say I disagree with you... Anyone who cannot follow the copy file to /system/location.... probably shouldn't be trying these things on a nook anyway... sometimes things do go wrong and copy/paste is the least confusing commands in that case.

There is a feature in this app that does all the work in the background. New instructions:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Wow, ignorant and sarcastic at the same time. Impressive combo. :rolleyes:

And turns out that me thinking adblock was not working on CM7 was half wrong; it doesn't work when using CM7 from SD card. Works fine installed internally.

I added the feature to this app as well. It should work for both, emmc and sdcard, users and you don't have to manually mount /system or run with /system always in rw mode.

running this off cm7 sd card.

once again, i want to say super thank you to everyone that helped in this thread.

for those running cm7 off the sd card, i want to summarize how it worked for me (based off all the help from this thread).

1. download and install newest busybox... i think this is the correct one. the one with the gears in the icon is not the correct one.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&feature=search_result

2. run busy box

3. download and install the nooks odds and ends pack on the first page of this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119093

4. run the netfixer and make sure it is "from bn to htc"

5. download and install netflix from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

6. reboot.

this should allow you to install netflix and fix the sound.

Installed the latest netflix app from another thread, got the chipmunk audio, installed Nook Odds and Ends, ran the fix, rebooted, and now my wifi doesn't work. It hangs on connecting.

Question: Does it seem to take an unnaturally long time to buffer each time you use Netflix? I'm used to a few seconds on my laptop or XBox, but this takes 20+ seconds to do anything.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theo.a:
Searched the thread and did not see anything similar so:

I have a new Nook Color (v1.2) purchased last week. Rooted using ManualNooter 4.6.16 and the guide on this site. (not booting off SD)

What I have noticed is that my build.prop has BarnesAndNoble, not bn as manufacturer which would break the sed script as written. This would probably explain why the install script does not work for some Nook Colors. Also I could not for whatever reason actually install the apk file. Was able to do other manual installs using Easy Install and tried downloading file again.

The line in question looks like:

ro.product.manufacturer=BarnesAndNoble

I'm still an Android noob so not sure how to overwrite the build.prop file for manual replacement. Tried using File Expert and Jota but could not replace the file successfully. (Now off to research that...)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brianf21:
Is that it is listed exacting? Case sensitive? I can add it to the app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theo.a:
That was the exact listing. Copied it from the build.prop that I backed up onto an SD.

Also I used ES File Explorer instead of File Expert to replace the file and was successful in fixing Netflix. Still can't install this app but thanks for the work anyway.

Let's face it, the menu belongs on your left thumb. We all know it.

It's not a hard fix.

First, you need to root your phone. Next, get Root Explorer from the market. (Other file managers and text editors can be used, but Root Explorer makes it easy.)

Navigate to /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/s3c-keypad.kl

(If you aren't using Root Explorer, make a backup copy of the original file before you edit!)

Open s3c-keypad.kl and make sure you are set to read and write the file.

It will look like this:

...Now, switch the HOME WAKE to the key 66 line and put the MENU WAKE_DROPPED on the key 8 line.

When you save it, Root Explorer cleverly makes a backup of the original for you.

Now, reboot and enjoy. The menu is back where it belongs (top left) and the home button has moved to the cancel key position--upper right.

It's easy fix and it makes the device feel more like home.
