I don't know what to tell you except this couldn't be further from my experience with MIUI. Getting it on the Nook was a bit of a pain, but I think that's because I had a crappy version of CWM on my nook and completely reflashed it, then it flashed like a breeze. (For example, CWM would freeze up after wiping something like Davlik and I'd have to reboot recovery, etc.) Oh and I do have a status bar. By default. So not sure where you're issue was.

As for the person having issues with the dark boxes, try a new theme through the Theme Manager...many should have different looks to the colors of menus and hopefully that would fix it.

And I've found that Opera Mobile is by far the smoothest browser on MIUI - may want to give that a spin.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thracks:
Installing a ROM is not rocket science. Preparing and SD card with the latest version of CWM to wipe and flash is also not rocket science.

I'm sure hundreds of r-tards come through XDA and blow right through the directions, but I have flashed dozens and dozens and dozens of ROMs to god only knows how many devices, and this is the only ROM that ever gave me any ****.

From CM7 to Phiremod and many of the Nook HCs in between, I've never had a problem with a Nook ROM until I hit MIUI, and I can duplicate it over and over and over on three of them.
[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
Ok well thats even stranger but clearly something is wrong I can tell you for sure its not MIUI because otherwise we would all have the same issues and we simply dont. We are using identical devices with the same tools and directions, I dont know why you having issues and I wish I could tell you where the fault is but really you will need to go through it yourself.

Coming here and making review type comments on how bad it is wont help anyone when the simple truth is this is a great rom with no real issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidfig:
Easy as pie

It worked so easy for me. I wiped system and cache and then flashed it with the CWM that I've had for months. It just worked from the start. Currently the only problem I have is that it expects hard navigation keys and the nook does not have that. I am learning how to deal with that.

BTW, it has been running for 4 days with light use and I still have over 90% charge. If I can resolve the soft-key issue, I may just stick with this.
[Nook Color Android Development] WWWestonC:
Anyone successfully running Netflix on this ROM? Is the process the same as CM7 to getting it on there? Is there a guide you used to get it running?
[Nook Color Android Development] tsg2513:
Netflix runs fine without doing anything special (at least on mine).
[Nook Color Android Development] explorer-10:
compass does not work.

also, will the rom be updated to support the new u-boot.bin from b&n v1.3?
[Nook Color Android Development] WWWestonC:
It showed up in the Market for you?
[Nook Color Android Development] tsg2513:
No it did not. I found it here on XDA and side-loaded it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thracks:
Because the Nook doesn't have a compass.
[Nook Color Android Development] WWWestonC:
So that is something special I would say. Could you point me to the APK that is working for you on MIUI as well as a guide on how to sideload it?
[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
I find button savior to be the best solution.Give it a try - its free :)

And yes the battery side of things is really great.
[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
The compass wont work because the nook doesnt have gps!
[Nook Color Android Development] woneil:
I have been running Miui off an SD card for a month or so now. Yesterday the wifi stopped working. It connects to the wifi, but I can't navigate to a webpage, open the market, etc. I can connect to the same wifi with my laptop and it works fine.

I re-downloaded the ROM, copied it to my SD card, opened in recovery mode an reinstalled the ROM, but that did not change anything.

Any ideas on something I can try?
[Nook Color Android Development] olm3ca:
As a big fan of CM7, I was reluctant to make this switch. But I have to say MIUI on the Nook is a great experience, and has me really wanting to use my Nook all over again.

Thanks a lot MIUI team... great work!
[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
Did you do a full wipe?

If not then thats the way to go.

If it still doesnt work after that then I would try another rom.

If it fails on that then its pretty clear that its a hardware issue rather than software.
[Nook Color Android Development] thekrautdog:
Hey whoever deserves the credit for the video in post 3 I want to give it to you...it was very well done and I appreciate the effort.

I have been using this from a bootable SD card and havent seen any issues yet. Thank you

I have a question if someone could help. Is it possible to do a bootable SD with both miui and nightly cm7 on it? ive been flipping sd cards but to avoid losing one of the sd cards i would like to know if this is possible

Thanks

MIUI using SD Card doesn't see Music

I just started running MIUI off an SD Card and noticed that the Music App doesn't see any of my music located on the same SD Card. I can browse to the music files using the file manager and play the individual file but no luck with the Music App. Anyone else see this problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] alphaeagle777:
Restart the nook, and make sure that the SD card is in, if u have recovery on the SD card then insert the SD once u see the cm logo
[Nook Color Android Development] rickpref:
Is anyone working on the toolbar navigation buttons for MIUI? I have read through the last 10 pages or so and don't see any real news about it. Sorry if I missed it.
[Nook Color Android Development] mindcandy:
Short answer is no. MIUI is not open source so whilst it is being ported to the Nook, it's fundamentally a phone ROM and can't be modified in the way you want. If you want bottom bar status and MIUI style, consider CM7 with the tencent launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] rickpref:
Sucks...I've been using CM7 since it became available on the NC but was getting bored. My EVO3D is so fast I hardly ever find myself needing the Nook and was looking to change it up. MIUI is nice on the Nook but without the status bar buttons it's just a little too annoying.
[Nook Color Android Development] frogger55:
This is not quite a status bar, but is the best solution i've read yet -

To be honest soft keys sucks.

Button savour is not only free but is customisable and works really well with miui rom.Its really the only way!
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
i found BS and SK to both be more hassle than help.

with the keysmod you lose instant volume functions, but it makes navigating a cinch. then i made home open up recentplus, and can access volume there.

not ideal, but it works well
[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
I guess its all down to what feels good to the user.If you want on screen buttons or if you want to remap your vol buttons.Personally I find button savior to be the complete opposite of hassle....its damn useful!

I would suggest try both and seeing what you think.

it seems kinda sluggish to me. when i'm swiping between screens, it doesn't go very fast at all. when i tap on an app, it doesn't respond for almost a second. i've even had a random reboot while loading up a magazine. i haven't let it sit at all, maybe if i leave it alone for about 2 hours it'll work better

I updated to 9.2 but don't notice anything (but I use ADW Ex, so if its launcher stuff I wouldn't see it).

I upgraded to 1.9.2 and my Nook hasn't been acting right since. As soon as I get the NC booted up, the system will lock up immediately. Thank God I backed up my 1.8.5 and will be going back to that. It sucks we haven't had an update in almost one month and now it is unstable (at least for me it is) :(
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
Thanks for the warning guys. It's been forever since a cm7 nightly was released, so I was gone install 1.9.2 to see how it had changed.
[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
Erm so forever is 6 days?

Nightly's really spoil people obviously!
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
I loaded up 1.9.2 over my phiremodmiui v2 without wiping and it's working great. Much faster and is stable. The only issue I've noticed so far is the lockscreen will still show that it's charging after it's unplugged. Other than that this rom is great!
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
re: nook app and reading magazines.

I didn't have to do anything special. Just loaded the nook app from the market. Went to my library and there are the magazine subscriptions. I am running version 2.6.2 of the app
[Nook Color Android Development] patgnds:
Here is a faster download of 1.9.2

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y98R0KO8
[Nook Color Android Development] shobon:
Asside from the launcher and Market being a bit buggy, I haven't had any major problem with 1.9.2.
[Nook Color Android Development] Windsor1959:
I decided to try 1.8.5, running it on a microSD card, and I like it very much. I have tried rooted stock and CM7. Both have worked well for me. However, I have one or two apps that will run on one but not the other. All my apps run on 1.8.5. Because everything is running so well, I'm hesitant about upgrading!

I see that 1.9.2 is out. Where can I find out what changes were made from 1.8.5.? Also, can I upgrade using verygreen's installer just as I would for a CM7 nightly?
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
Thank you for posting the link! I bit the bullet and upgraded. I am so glad I did! I love MIUI, and put-up with the lagginess and freezes for the great interface. With the update comes so much more speed. No more lags, and, so far, no more freezing

Side note - I went looking for rom manager before I did the update after reading a post about it being missing in MIUI. Sure enough, mine was missing, too. I reinstalled it from the market. When I opened the app it prompted me to install CWR, thank goodness. Made upgrading a snap.

And just because I've been helped by so many here, I hope this short tutorial will help someone else.

1. Make sure Rom Manager app is installed. Open app and make sure CWR (clockwork recovery) is installed.

2. Download update from above link. Do Not Unzip! Again, Do Not Unzip! If you downloaded from your PC, put unzipped file on SD card of nook.

3. Back up current apps with Titanium Backup app

4. Install update. When I sideloaded the zipped update file, it put a notification in the notification bar that asked if I wanted to update. That started the update process for me, prompts asking me to back up the current rom, as well as wipe cache and dalvick. (Do all of these) Super easy!

5. Re-install apps with Titanium backup.

(Did I miss anything?)
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
the way tech moves these days, yes ;)

I did go ahead and install 1.9.2, it's running alright for me.

[Nook Color Android Development] SprintFun:
Yes on the cell bars. Minor annoyance.

I haven't tried miui on my nook since the first iteration a cpl months ago. I am absolutely amazed! I've put it on 4 nooks now (we got a bunch at the school I teach at) and haven't had one problem other than the Widgets being a bit off centered to the left. I love the speed and it's soooo sexy. I've been running miui as my daily on my glacier for a few months now and must say it is the best android experience available. Thanks to the dev and community for bringing it to this device. Now I have me a Li'l MIUIpad and I'm loving it! If there was a camera and haptic feedback this thing would whipnan ipad's ass! IMO it already does because the size is absolutely perfect for me. I find most tablets to be a little too big. Anyhow, I digress.... again I have experienced zero problems/lag/issues/ on four diff nooks and am about to load it on 15 more. I'll report back. As anyone who has dealt with more than one nook knows, they're all different but in the end you can make it do what you want.
[Nook Color Android Development] cyburke:
i've installed MIUI on my nook and really dig it.. am having a problem though and hopefully someone can help solve.

chose a dif theme and now i can't unlock the device!! any way around this? the unlock for the theme i chose will move down, but seems to not go all the way, and the device will absolutely not unlock.

would rather not have to re-install the whole thing if i don't have to.

help!!

[Nook Color Android Development] raycaster3:
My friend I'm afraid the only way (and hopefully you have a bootable cwm msd or this will really suck for you) I had the same issue. When applying a new theme make sure to always untick the lockscreen before you apply. Stock lockscreen is the only safe one IMO. So throw that bootable msd in there and reflash. Make sure you wipe data and factory reset cuz flash over doesn't work either. Sorry for the bad news

[Nook Color Android Development] tsddave:
Ive tried around 30 different themes on my nook with miui and managed to get unlocked on all of them but some took time!

Heres some tips!

1) put your finger just above the swiper usually they change colour abit when you have them ready to move.Remember the position and then go again and swipe downwards.

2) Some dont seem to want to swipe down but will swipe to the left or the right usually opening the dialer or sms.

3) I spent as long as 10mins getting out of some but if you have really found one you cant get out of (I think not personally) then its time to restore your clockworkmod back up!
[Nook Color Android Development] lesdense:
I'm a long time CM7 guy who moved to MIUI 1.8.5 because of Market problems (I have NEVER had a single Market issue while running MIUI) and because the icons and layout are visually pleasing. I moved to Phiremod's MIUI v.2 because of occasional stability issues and that seemed to help. When I got a popup from ROM Manager that MIUI 1.9.2 was available I upgraded through ROM Manager, backing up current ROM (thankfully) and wiping cache. 1.9.2 caused endless stability issues for me -- force closes and freezing and so forth. I tried downloading to the microSD I install ROMs with, wiping everything and doing a clean install. Still had stability problems. For now I'm back to 1.8.5.
[Nook Color Android Development] Sizzlechest:
Is there any way to fix the off center widget issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] raycaster3:
I got one that I worked on for over 20 min and gave up. Evoluer has a lock screen that is a beast! I accidentally applied it and had to reflash after factory reset to fix. There are a bunch that do work, you're right, but to be safe stock is best option.
[Nook Color Android Development] cyburke:
haha Evoluer is exactly the one i applied.. could-not-get-back-in.

regardless - i re-flashed with the latest 1.9.2, then installed nook color tweaks, then chainfire 3d after that. my nook is kicking 1.3ghz arse now and i'm playing samurai ii - vengeance with no issues!

:cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] cyburke:
QUESTION -- what do you fellow MIUI on Nook guys recommend instead of Button Savior to get consistent (status bar) soft buttons aka 'honeycomb style' soft buttons?

Button Savior is great, but I really dislike having to open/close it so often. Would like my soft buttons to be on Status Bar like the Tablet Tweaks II did for our devices when running CM7 plain.

Anyone?

:cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
I also don't like Button Savior or SoftKeys at all. I switched over to MIUI last weekend after running CM7 with tablet tweaks for months, but only after trying out zMooth. zMooth is gesture-based and adds a small, non-intrusive area where you can swipe left for back, right for menu, up and down (like a teepee) for home, and in a loop for search. It's not for everyone, but I love it, and it lets me use MIUI which is a GORGEOUS ROM! There's a free version and a paid version (~$1.50, so basically free), so I recommend you at least give it a shot.
[Nook Color Android Development] cyburke:
THANKS!

I've installed zMooth and it is indeed very slick! Am using it presently...

I do want to hear from others though if there is a permanent buttons in the status bar option - I just like seeing them there available for pressing at any moment. Haha..

BUT this zMooth is in fact a great option. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Glad you like it! Yeah, I'd also love to see a system-level soft button option just like Honeycomb and CM7 w/tablet tweaks provides, but there's a reason that Mad Murdock had to dive pretty deep into CM7 to provide the latter...it's not just a matter of a user-level app putting a simple overlay on the status bar or telling apps that there's a reserved area on a border of the screen when they size themselves.

I know the MIUI folks have expressed an interest in trying to bring over at least that part of tablet tweaks, but of course they're pretty tightly coupled to the CM7 configuration screens, status bar code, etc., and across a few weeks' worth of check-ins while Murdock implemented them. It's not a trivial branch-to-branch integration.

It seems like everyone wants it, though, so hopefully we'll see it at some point!
[Nook Color Android Development] raycaster3:
I was wondering if that was the one giving you issues.... Glad it's all worked out. I will never use anything other than miui on my nook, or as I call it now MIUIpad! Haha.

Chainfire 3D? I need to look that up

For those who can't stand the off-centered widget, go to build.prop and change LCD density from 240to 290. A side effect of course is bigger letters. But if that doesn't bother you it worked for me. I used root explorer to do it.

How can I uninstall Button Savior or can you?
[Nook Color Android Development] lesdense:
I'm using both zMooth and Button Savior on my NC running MIUI right now and I gotta say I prefer Button Savior to zMooth. Yea, you have to close Button Savior from time to time to get it out of the way but it's right under my thumb where I can tap a button instantly. zMooth is a cool app but it's on the bottom of the screen. I didn't really like the placement of Tablet Tweaks in that way either. The bottom is better than the top, but aligned along the side is better than either, at least for me. I have not used the paid version of zMooth yet. Does the paid version let you relocate the swipe area to the side?
[Nook Color Android Development] raycaster3:
That works too. I just prefer to do it the old fashioned way and avoid downloading another app. I have too may already. HAHA
[Nook Color Android Development] dormido:
Yes, zMooth Pro lets you adjust all of the appearance settings for the popup area; you can change the width of the popup and the horizontal location as well as the colors for both the popup and the trace line.
[Nook Color Android Development] tttttt:
I really like it, too! It's unobtrusive. However, does anyone know how to get a hold of "Tablet Tweaks" or "Tablet Tweaks II"? It seems to have been removed or incorporated into CM7, but I do really like having the buttons constantly on the screen. Other than that, I do really enjoy MIUS and the NC has generally replaced having to carry around textbooks to class.
