Of course I have a CM7.1 backup, but I've downloaded it two different times and flashed it five times unsuccessfully.

I wipe data and system, cache partition, and Dalvik every time and the same thing happens. I see the green cyanogenmod flag thingy and then it flashes brightly and sits there for at least 15 minutes. (I don't wait longer than that)
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
The rom is in rom manager now - awesome.
[Nook Color Android Development] raycaster3:
I'll try from there

Well I must've had a corrupted file its booting perfectly now!

Restoring from titanium right now

Running just like it should pretty cool

[Nook Color Android Development] cama900:
is there any way to restore the data? does MIUI put it in a different place or something?
[Nook Color Android Development] raycaster3:
Miui has its own backup that will backup your desktop and data and even apps it's pretty cool

I like the DPI set to 160 on the Nook. However whenever I reboot it reset to default DPI. what's going on??
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
Either install a recent nightly build that defaults to 160 or manually edit the build.prop file to change it to 160.
[Nook Color Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
"A recent nightly"?

I edited the build.prop, utilities don't seem to stick with MiUi.

as a side, what happens to the status bar at 160dpi? mine was white in some apps with a black square in the left corner. I had to switch to a different doing to fix.

Sorry, I forgot this was MIUI thread. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] xc68000:
Ok I tried the latest mini rom out on my nook yesterday. It took about a day to get everything worked out, but I'm pretty impressed.

The biggest problem I found is that some apps look comically large on it and that can be real turn off. But after some tweaking and looking for a couple of new apps here and there this is what I ended up with:

- LCD Density 300dpi

- zMooth (honestly I might even use this over tablet tweaks if I ever go back to stock CM7). I used an app from the app store to completely remove the built in button app because it couldn't be disabled on startup.

Some apps that I switched to because they allow better (smaller) fonts that look good with MIUI on nook.

- Google Books. Couldn't get the fonts small enough on Kindle and Google Books is really nice. Much faster page turns and now that the app store sells books, just as convenient.

- K-9 Mail. For the same reason. You can change virtually all the application font sizes in this app and it looks nice when it's all set up.

Everything I've tried so far works fine (netflix, youtube, games, etc).

How would you compare Phiremod V2 vs the MIUI version?

Also, why is the phone app and mms enabled on this build? nook doesn't have a radio or a mic to bluetooth :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] mycomputerisjunk:
Anyone notice that the volume level for the headphone jack is really low? I play pandora and some music in my car and I have everything maxed out, and it's still low.

You can use Nook tweaks app to boost this.

Partitions on NC Blue Dot

This is an amazing Rom! I have everything working, however now wondering about the memory partitioning. The NC has a 5Gb /media (secure data) partition, and a 1Gb / Data partition.

Does anyone know if if matters what the B&N memory partitioning is before flashing MIUI, or does the flashing of the ROM take all the memory and use as it wishes?
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
It's about the space reserved for user apps/data.

Just downloaded .23 this afternoon thru Rom Manager and its doing great. Just wish they would put out .30 for the NC. (Every other device at miui.us has it!)

And just FYI for anyone else who is having freezing problems, I think I have traced mine to the News and Weather widget that I so love and keep installing with titanium backup. I have an older version, but can't find it in the market to update it. Would love it if someone could share an updated apk with me.
[Nook Color Android Development] markusrow:
Colchiro, Thanks very much. These guides are clear. Flashing the ROM (zip) does not re-partition, but flashing a Re-partition zip does - exactly what it says.

As a matter of curiosity is there a thread that explains what kinds of functions and activities are possible in the zips. (Like understanding Recovery functions) I guess there could be some zips that do more than one task, like re-partition + format + flash ROM. Not very useful as you would want to do the first only once and therefore not include the ROM with the first two.

Again thanks for the pointers.
[Nook Color Android Development] mtnguy:
I'd like the News and Weather that would work with MIUI too! Mine doesn't freeze up it just does an FC.

Running MIUI 1.9.23 from SD

Using jtbnet's instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1022786

, I'm running MIUI 1.9.23 from Sandisk 16 Gb Class 2 with no issues whatsoever - no SOD, market works perfect, etc... And the dual-boot preserves my Nook internal partitions (reformatted to 1 Gb data, 5 Gb media). It is (to my aging eyes) much smoother as compared to CM7, stable 7.1 running off of an identically prepared 16 Gb card, and particularly so with respect to using Dolphin HD which is very laggy on CM7.1.

It's an easy install and I used in addition to MIUI 1.9.23, Zmooth Pro, gapps 0828 version, Nook Color Tweaks and Zeam 2.8.8 for launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] jacjar1:
I agree CM7-1 was crashing and I couldn't keep launcherpro running..MIUI seems faster...I also tried Phiremod MIUI and its really cool. If he makes a 1.9.23 version ill use it

When i set the dpi to 300 to fix the off-centered widgets most apps on the market says "Your device is not compatible with this item" . Do you know fix for that?
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
You're lucky it booted at all. Not long ago anything over 240 would boot loop.

If you want all your apps in Market, set it to 160 like it supposed to.

300? Are you legally blind?

Here's my little contribution. The Roboto font from ICS. Honestly, I don't see what the deal is.

[Nook Color Android Development] xploited:
Used this rom for two weeks but the Sleep of Death issues were killing the whole experience. Sometimes I would get multiple freezes per day - definitely unusable.

Switched to CM7, it runs much faster, has the soft touch keys on the notification bar, and so far doesn't freeze. Epic win.

+ add to that epic battery life. on MIUI my Nook would usually be dead within 24 hours since full charge. On CM7 it lost 25% only in one day. O_O
[Nook Color Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Interesting. I've had my nook running on battery for days and had only marginal battery drain. CPUSpy shows it deep sleeping just fine.

SOD is worst with CM7, I found a big part of MY issue to be Beautiful Widgets.

Benchmarks show an improvement over CM7 too on my nook. An extra 2-3fps in benchmarks. UI performance is improved too.
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
I have gone to the latest CM7, phiremod's roms, and am back again running MIUI 9.23. I like the MIUI roms so much more than CM7.

I restored my NC to stock, re-installed this latest MIUI rom and am installing my apps one at a time from the market - not from titanium backup, to see what is causing all the freezing issues. I thought it was the news and weather widget before, but then it started freezing over and over even with that app gone.

I have been running this rom since this morning with not one freeze. Hope it will continue.

And honestly after using CM7, phiremod's roms, and a few of the MIUI versions, I don't see any difference in battery life. They are all pretty decent even with my heavy use.

edit: Okay, it's 2 days later and my nook hasnt crashed once on the latest MIUI rom - which it did when I first loaded it a week or so ago. I have re-installed all my programs, one by one. The only app I didn't install was my clock/weather widget. No freezes. I also set the wi-fi to never sleep. I am using lots of apps that run in the background: Pulse, news and weather widget, gmail, facebook widget, and all of these are working fine. Like I said, no freezes.

Just posting in case this helps someone else with the same problems I was having.
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
Okay, I must be stupid.

How in the world do I create a folder to put my apps in so I can clear up the clutter?

I love this ROM, and how stylish it is, just need to clean up the clutter.
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
Hold your finger down on an empty part of a screen. A dock appears at the bottom of the screen with widget choices. Select the folder and drag it up on the screen. Then hit the back key (buttonsavior or whatever you are using) . I have found that I have to drag apps into the folder before I can edit the title of the folder.
[Nook Color Android Development] frogger55:
From memory - just long press on empty screen area, then find 'folder' amongst the widgets.

Also, have a look at alt drawer. It's a nice thing to have if using the MIUI launcher

Okay, so one more quick question and I think I'll be good to go.

When plugging my Nook Color into the PC, it only sees the SD card inside, not the main memory. I have USB Storage turned on.

Is there something else I need to do?

[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
Go to the superuser app. Hit the menu button and allow permissions. For some odd reason on the Miui roms, the default is to have the permissions set to off.
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
Get the app multi-mount from the market. It needs to be used as a widget and it will allow your computer to see both your SD card and internal storage.

Samba

Provides WiFi access to both areas of your Nook.

XDA's user JimmyChingala has created an app that implements the Samba File Server on Android. The latest release available at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8239139&postcount=128. It allows WiFi access to both SD and Main memory. from your Windows or other OS's Explorer.

In Samba under Settings (User and Filesharing) you set up your WorkGroup name, Device Name (NetBios Name), User ID and Password to Nook (can be different to your other passwords and user names as it is specific to access to Samba from the WiFi network).

Also, under Settings (Test / Debug / WIP Features) at the bottom of the settings page, you will need to set the Second Shared Folder to the /mnt/emmc option.

Once you have used Network from your PC's File Explorer and entered and saved the credentials (entered above), you will never need to attach USB again.

I know that this sounds like I am selling something, but it is free (why I don't know). A thanks and a big thanks to JimmyChingala to keep him encouraged will make sure that he continues to provide releases for us to enjoy. Samba is an open industrial strength free file server used by many communities and data centers. It is a de-facto standard.

Samba should have its own thread in Android Apps and Theams, and be in the <Bible>

Hey guys, a small question:

On CM roms we are able to have status bar at the bottom, and the permanent android buttons are on there.

Is there a way to do the same in MIUI?

As anyway the status bar takes space on screen, we might as well put the buttons on there...

Had to leave the rom unfortunately due to serious sod problems. This isn't just on my personal device, it's on four other nc's. It was strange, for about 3 weeks everything was fine, then bam!

I'm back on .21. Battery life was horrible.. 80% to 20% in 3 hours with an extended battery. My cpu use was 50% 1250 and 50% 300 mhz with no sleep and most of the 3 hours was an idle phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Oh yeah, that was me, ahaha

I didn't have enough time to really check the battery life, been flashing a lot of random ROM's today on the nook, not sure what to use. I'll probably end up staying a stable miui, compared to Cyanogen ones, until a stable release of ICS comes out since the source code is coming out soon.

I was indeed sincere, not having complete information. I don't know why you are not able to download these apps. I have them all running on my nook using miui1.11.4 rom. Dpi set at default 240.

It's just some that I get "Your device is not compatible with this item" messages i.e. Facebook, Evernote, etc. Could it be because the market's version is 3.3.11? If so, is it possible to downgrade it? Like I said, I downloaded Evernote and Nook and Kindle app on my pc and was able to install it from the microSD.

Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead and installed Market Enabler but still the same. I don't think the problem has to do with the carrier settings but the device itself. Perhaps the Market app that I have recognizes that it is Nook Color and thinks some apps i.e. Facebook is not compatible or "not allowed" on the device?
