Also, to keep your wife happy, you can go into Nook Tweaks by Dalingrin and choose boot options and check "boot to emmc". Then whenever it boots, the default is emmc for your wife with no action needed on her part and to get to your CM9 you hold down the n key while booting and there is a menu that lets you choose the SD boot.

You can also modify the emmc so that it uses the same SD data (file storage) partition as CM9 so you don't have to keep switching the SD card. After you have everything set and working, boot to emmc, and with root explorer or other root file manager program edit the vold.fstab file found in /etc. Change the word "auto" to "4", save and reboot. Now emmc uses the same file storage area of the SD as CM9 does. (This assumes you have your stock emmc Nook rooted so you can edit the vold.fstab file.)
[Nook Color Android Development] zequav:
Doesn't mean you have to continue using it. Ghost Commander is free, open source, dual pane, decent looking... why use a closed source file manager?
[Nook Color Android Development] clamder:
For anyone wondering, I also had issues with wifi, but connecting to Aruba networks wifi access points at work. The security used was WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP and MSCHAPv2. By default, I wouldn't be able to connect to the wireless, but after editing the wlan file with the Adhoc 0 setting, it worked.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisDDD:
Perhaps because we already paid for it and it works perfectly well? As was said, for quite a while, Root Explorer was the only root-capable file manager, and so it became more or less the standard. So it's closed source, just like 99% of apps on the Android Market. Who cares, and who cares what file manager someone else uses?
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
I really like the way Root Explorer can display the MD5 of a file. Maybe most other file managers do that too, I don't know.
[Nook Color Android Development] numus:
I like the way ES does LAN scanning and SMB access... to each their own... Wish there was an easy remount script to use in via ADB... May make one myself if I get free time.
[Nook Color Android Development] rabshear:
Wifi File Transfer works great. It at least allows me to access my files. My main purpose for getting USB Mass Storage to work is that I connect my Nook and use Calibre to transfer books.
[Nook Color Android Development] griffinmt:
Thanks.

Curious, if I have a 4gb sdcard with CM7 installed, can I simply put the latest CM9 build on it and reboot into recovery to get it updated?

edit:

I just found the blog that explains my previous question at

Installing CM9 on Nook Color microSD

File Managers

I can't help but wonder...

What exactly does all the debate over filemanagers have to do with the CM9/ICS development?

[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
I tried this, but when I try to mount as R/W using Total Commander and ES File Explorer, it says variations of "can't mount". Did anyone have this issue with Root Explorer or is this an issue for non-Root Explorer file explorers?

Swype Installer is not allowing me to install Swype on the ICS nook color (I can still restore from Titanium Backup but that keyboard is letterboxed !) - it says "The Swype package you installed does not match the screen size of the device. Please contact Swype about this issue. Screen size: 600x976."

Anybody figured this one out ?

Just thought I'd ask you guys this. Is there a custom bootanimation in the works/being planned exclusively for cm9? You know, just like that cool bootanimation for cm7 where there's an android on a skateboard. Kinda curious how it will look like. Oh, and I'm definitely not asking for an ETA or anything. I'm just really really curious about how it will look like, ya know. You guys rock! Thanks for everything!

Does it fix the weird behavior with pinch-to-zoom? For example, in google maps it's almost impossible to zoom in my nook (many times after I pinch to zoom in the map goes to fully zoomed out).
[Nook Color Android Development] MrColdbird:
Following this work with a lot of interest. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
I fixed the mount issue by opening the terminal emulator on the Nook Color and used the busybox remount command to mount /system as r/w. That allowed me to change the WifiAdhoc variable from 1 to 0, and now my NC connects to my DLink router flawlessly.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Try it and let me know, but from what you are describing, possibly...
[Nook Color Android Development] aeidian:
Words with friends not working as of nightly 1-17. Opens then closes, no error pops up. My build date says Jan 13th though, seems odd.

Edit: Actually none of the apps work, they start to open and then close. Came from 1-11 build, wiped cache partition and dalvik and it won't open any app. Restored back to my 1-11 and everything's fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Not having a working build environment (I need to do something about that :) ) I have been installing samiam's nightlies. On both the 20120116 and 20120117 nightlies whenever I select an app, it immediately closes. Is there a known workaround for this?
[Nook Color Android Development] asting:
This is a known issue. There are a few workarounds posted on a page or two back in that thread. Also, why post here? why not in his thread?
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
He suggested posting issues in this thread so the developers would be aware of them. This is not the onetimeinitializer.apk issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
I had exact same problem, and i did exactly what you did.

The desktop even didnt show all widgets either.. Havent heard anyone else but you say this yet, which means, no one had problem, no one is using this, or no one cares..
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
I'm not clear on whether this is an issue with the source or just my builds specifically -- since nobody has reported it without specifically mentioning that they're using my builds, I'm inclined to think that it's me. I did a make clobber so that I'll be building from scratch -- we'll see if that fixes it tonight.
[Nook Color Android Development] zequav:
It does solve the problem :). Pinch-to-zoom is usable now. Good work, keyodi.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Your 118 nightly looks good!
[Nook Color Android Development] johnny15:
Saw the latest update as listed in fattire's post.

Just wondering if there have been any other major/minor updates since sneakpeak2? Between this thread and the ICS nightly thread, there seems to be no mention of new updates/bug fixes/etc... I'm not complaining, just wondering whether its worth working with the new nightly builds or not....
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
See here for a list of up-to-the-moment changes to cm9. This list, plus any changes to the encore (nookcolor) repo, constitute what's new.
[Nook Color Android Development] unsivil_audio:
That doesn't show anything involving encore and ics. Been watching it for awhile now.
[Nook Color Android Development] therkr:

[Nook Color Android Development] therkr:

[Nook Color Android Development] sark666:
I asked previously in this thread and I've seen one or two others ask as well. I thought I'd ask once more time just to see if anything changed.

Initially, the thing I was really excited about ics was hardware accelerated ui. The first post says this is doubtful, and I was wondering if that has changed at all.

Or at least I'm curious from a layman's point of view the exact issue. My understanding is because we have an outdated kernel, and I've also read that their are proprietary opengl drivers but I'm not sure if that's correct. is this similar to say nvidia binaries for linux?

And, obviously we have opengl as games wouldn't work otherwise, so is the issue the current driver doesn't allow access for multiple apps to invoke opengl for compositing and only works one app - full screen?

Anyway, any info on this would be appreciated and it would be nice to know that it still looks highly doubtful to have hardware accel ui on ics with nook color or maybe by chance something else has changed (like another device with similar opengl hardware).
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Maybe Fattire or someone else can clarify Cyanogen's review process. If an item is reviewed and merged, I am assuming that if someone resyncs, that item will be part of the new build. If an item carries the status "open" and a resync is done, will that item be cherry picked along with the merged items? I am trying to determine when would be a good time to rebuild. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
"Open" means that it hasn't been merged into the repo yet -- therefore it will not be synced when running a repo sync. The only way to get non-merged items is to add them manually, which you can do by grabbing the command on their page on review.cyanogenmod.com.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Thanks Sam. Sounds like your nightly builds consist of only those merged items? Thanks for making those available.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Yeah. I'm just building from the repo -- If you want to be right on the bleeding edge and test new things before they're merged, then you want to be building for yourself!
[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
just flashed the latest nightly and I must say ICS on the nook is pretty sweet. Couple of questions though.

Can I use Nova Launcher?

It seems a little laggy, can I use nook tweaks or setcpu to adjust the kernal settings?
[Nook Color Android Development] asting:
You should be able to. I used rom toolbox to overclock it again, which helped a bit.
[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
Thanks. I'm actually going to check out rom toolbox. Seems like an awesome app.

Edit: got rom toolbox running and I noticed the rom is set to conservative by default. Changing to interactiveX immediately got rid of the lag.

Awesome!
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
I use Nook Tweaks for over clocking but don't touch the DAC settings. It halts the app and you and you can't use it again until you reboot.

Build Times

Did clean builds on my AMD quad core Ubuntu box and Win7-hosted VMWare Player vm running Xubuntu, -j4 on the box and -j1 on the vm (it doesn't tolerate parallel make jobs): 45min on the box and just shy of 8 hours on the vm.

I wish I could put the box in my suitcase...
[Nook Color Android Development] Lsjreadingpa:
Does video playback work yet?
[Nook Color Android Development] HacDan:
Sure, standard definition. But if you're looking for high definition anything, including Netflix, you'll need to wait for an OMAP 3 device to be upgraded to ICS.
[Nook Color Android Development] Lsjreadingpa:
Any idea if there will be an omap update for NC??
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Using MX Video player, my videos coded for the NC using Handbrake actually look and play very well, which I was pleasantly surprised to see. The "no HD" is reminiscent of when I was running Honeycomb early last year. However, YouTube in SD also runs quite well. Very happy with sam's nightlies so far, so thanks to all the great devs churning ICS out at a break-neck pace.
[Nook Color Android Development] therkr:
What is the probability of an OMAP 3 device getting ICS officially ?
[Nook Color Android Development] tonyp:
Tried to search for an OMAP3 Cortex A8 device with ICS confirmed - found nothing :-(
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Well actually the Moto Defy which is an OMAP3 device and actually is using the same Graphics accelerator as the Nook (SGX530) already has 3D H/W acceleration based on their Gingerbread kernels.

Here is a copy from their Development forum.

"06-12 Phone & Wifi fixed, 2D/3D acceleration fully fonctionnal on 2.3.4+ kernels"

So its more a matter being done than being possible, or so I understand it so please correct me if I am wrong.

Nevertheless I am no developer so my understanding of things is quite limited.
[Nook Color Android Development] onclebob:
ICS and GB don't use the same kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] biohazrd51:
Alright folks. I've been working on trying to do my own builds, but keep running into issues with my Repo Sync. The download fails at this point every time (screenshot attached) no matter what. The process is still running in the terminal, but unresponsive (cannot break out). I'm used Ubuntu plenty of times before but just don't know the ins and outs of it all. Anyone have any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] asting:
How does YouTube work for you? App our browser?

It doesn't load for me for some reason.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnny15:
If you're trying to play a video in the YouTube app, if it's an HD video, you need to tap the highlighted "HQ" in the lower left hand corner of the video to turn off the HD video feed. It should play fine in SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] rabshear:
I have this problem as well if I use a -j16 switch, or any -jxx switch for that matter. As long as i just type "repo sync" it works fine. It takes a little longer, but it almost always works. On the rare occasion that it does hang, I just ctl-\ and do it again. Rarely does it keep failing.
[Nook Color Android Development] biohazrd51:
Yeah, I've been using repo sync alone, but set it up with -j1 this morning just to see how it did. Additionally I went over and tried what I saw from here as well. We'll see how it does when I get home.
[Nook Color Android Development] mvpilot172:
Got it running off the SD easy enough, all google apps sync great except the calender. Anyone know of issues or an alternative.

I deleted the two calendar apks in /system/app and replaced them with other ones I have. I don't know where I got them, but I tried a bunch of them, and these work for me every time. I would be happy to send them to you if you want.

[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
At least on HP TouchPad ICS/CM9, I had to apply a gapps fix to get calendar working. I would assume the same would hold true on the Nook. Here's a link:

[Nook Color Android Development] wakeboarder8156:

[Nook Color Android Development] KCs2k:
For those having issues with calendars I would also recommend trying Samiam303's gapps from his unofficial nightlies thread. I started using this and have not had any issues with the calendar since! Thread here Specific post here and finally a direct link to the gapps.

As always thanks to all the developers FatTire, keyodi, unforgiven512, arcee, toastfch, d0nk`, dalingrin, nemith, the rest of the cm team/TD, and anyone i forgot to mention (I copied Fattire's 2nd post, lazy like that) as well as Samiam303 for providing the gapps and unofficial nightlies. You all rock my face off and if you ever find yourself in the Kansas City area I would happily buy you a beer or something.
[Nook Color Android Development] webdroidmt:
I would also recommend Sam's gapps as KCs2K suggested. However, if you want to try replacing your CalendarGoogle & CalendarProvider apks with fixed ones, here is the link. Just scroll down and d/l the calendar.rar file.

For those building their own, what virtual machine software are you using and what version of Ubuntu?

I have tried VirtualBox with Ubuntu 11.10 x64 but always experienced issues when doing a repo sync.

Is there a pre configured virtual machine image out there that will save some time?

Thanks for the help.

[Nook Color Android Development] karlonpc:
This is a great ROM, and this list is not a complaint. I have been using this as a total replacement for phiremod v6.3, and the only three problems I am experiencing are:

Shorter battery life

Running hotter

Accelerometer glitches

The battery life is noticeably shorter, draining about 5% an hour. In the power consumption graph in settings, the Media process seems to be keeping it awake. Killing it improves the life to what I normally have, but the only way to restore the process is to reboot. My nook seems to be running hotter, only a tiny bit. That could also be the Media process's fault. It keeps it awake, I think.

Some applications use the accelerometer correctly and it functions like it did in Gingerbread, but most others require me to hold my nook at a ~80 degree angle. The screen rotation works as expected, though. Hope this helps any people trying to fix these problems. Great ROM, great work, and thanks for everything. BTW, I am running a build compiled from the main release. No unapproved fixes.
[Nook Color Android Development] ggbutcher:
I use XUbuntu 11.10 in a VMWare Player vm with 1G memory and a 29G virtual disk. It's a command-line installation; I stripped out all the X stuff to minimize the running processes. You can install it command-line-only from the gitgo with the mini.iso.

repo sync was a slog; I finally ended up doing it on a native Ubuntu box and rsync-ing it to the vm.

I compile with 'make -j1 bacon'; any more parallel jobs usually aborts. A clean compile (after 'make clobber') takes a smidge under 8 hours. I used USE_CCACHE=1, will do an incremental compile tomorrow and report on its elapsed time.

I'm not so sure a vm image would be practical; mine is about 26G uncompressed; I did a couple of minutes building a .zip file of it, ratio ran 27%-30% which would eventually yield a ~7G zip file. Kinda big...
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
Even if there would be someone willing to spend weeks of his life writing the driver, he couldn't unless he were some kind of reverse engineering god since there are no sources public he could base his work on.

I've been having issues with my repo sync still. For giggles I tried it with gingerbread and still received the same issue. There are a few more things I'm going to try that I saw on fattire's guide (using https instead of git, etc).

I have a spare machine (old) that if all else fails I will perform the repo sync on that with a non-vm install. You mentioned re-syncing it to the VM. Did you just transfer the files over from ~/system/android or is there more behind the scenes that I am missing?

You may review post 1084 of this thread. I was strugglling to make any progress on Virtual machines and an external hard drive (I don't know, maybe I am stupid). Using the prebuilt package in this post, I had success and have rebuilt 3 or 4 times.
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Something that gets missed is that while Android is open source, it's only open source on what Google directly owns. It contains drivers and other code that is licensed. Those are not open sourced. It adds problems to porting to other devices. In some cases, the licensed code is allowed to be used for non-profit use but no source is available to change it. In other cases, the licenses don't allow any use outside of an approved agreement.

Add to that, "drivers" are often very complex and HUGE. It's not something you whip out in an evening. I have written older DOS, Windows and OS/2 drivers in the past. Some devices or chipsets are simple. Unfortunately, many aren't.

Cyanogen is beyond amazing (and I personally hate using that word) in how they deal with these limitations but even they run into roadblocks.
[Nook Color Android Development] ggbutcher:
Something like this:

$ cd ~/android/system

caliente.local is my Ubuntu box, and I'm executing the command on the vm. I originally tried a scp copy, but I wasn't getting correct results, and it was slow.

BTW, I usually minimize the VM window and ssh into it. Between Putty and bash, a much better command line experience than the vm window...
