I was trying this from my nook itself. i can update my photon with new builds this way but i think for the nook i have to download them on my computer and then put them on the sd card that way. trying this out now.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
You can do it from the nook itself.... you just have to run the above commands to make the correct partition available as /sdcard/boot... then move the files there.
[Nook Color General] bullfrog527:
oooohh, thanks i didn't understand at first. i got it now. thanks dizz. i used my computer and it worked fine. i used sam's gapps, is that still needed? or the ones from goo-inside.me? i thought there was an app that wasn't compatible with our nooks?

also, is this how to "flash" other files"? such as the bootanimation fix?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes, with a computer. Just put it in your card reader and insert in your PC. The boot partition will be the one showing in windows.

But there is a way to have them show up automatically without putting the card in the computer. You must install some files first. See my post in the SD card thread (verygreen's) on February 22.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58059

Edit: if you are using the newest nightly, use the gapps from goo-insideme, not Sam's (they fixed the NFC issue). If you want to install the extra zips, just make sure they are named update- at the beginning of the filename. Then the script installer will install them just like the nightly.
[Nook Color General] kbuster2:
I'm using a verygreen sd with ICS and I haven't done anything with it for a while (Feb. 25 nightly) so thinking of adding the newest nightly and the GAPPS you suggest. If I've already got gapps-ics-4.0.3-sam-noinit.zip on mine do I just put update-goo-insideme on the card root along with update-nightly and boot to recovery? Just wondering if the goo-insideme gapps version will update the current gapps installed. I think that's what you were saying above. What do you mean by "NFC issue"? (please excuse my ignorance) Mine is working pretty well already though screen rotation is a bit sloppy. Also not sure how or if I can replace the chunky looking multicolored boot animation. It does boot so not too worried about that.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Before you update go here and update your boot files on your SD. I modded them to fix a duplication issue on gapps for SD card users.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23153010

And go to the goo-inside me site and download the latest gapps. They should be named gapps-ics.... Leave them named that way and put them in the boot partition along with the nightly. It should update your gapps you installed earlier.

It's very easy to put a nice new CM9 boot animation on your system so it stays there after each flash of a new nightly. I am going to post the link in a minute here. Copy the file to the /data/local folder. It will override any boot animation in the nightly. BRB.

Here:

[Nook Color General] mateorod:
The new boot animation looks great.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
They do have the new CM9 bootanimation built into the latest nightly. It is rotated 90 degrees, but fills the whole screen. If you are not seeing it, you need to go to /data/local and rename or delete the bootanimation.zip file you have there.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
I am asking for confirmation since I have been flashing my own builds for a couple days, but I was wondering...

Has anyone else's magic optimization been, like...ZOMG!?!?

It has truly been off the chain. I would love to know if everyone else has been as optimized, magically, as me.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Fattire put that line in the build.prop for everybody last night (via the awesomizer, LOL). What is it? Is he pulling our chain again?
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
Is anyone else having a problem with the gapps in eyeballer's recent roms?

I flashed the build from the 15th, and my market (Play store....) fails to run since.

So I restored with CWM and it worked again, but flashing the same ROM, no luck.

I also tried formatting /system, then flashing the rom, gapps, and the ics tweaks, but I still can't add a google account (under settings), so I can't open the play store. I saw somewhere else that I could sign in with google talk, but depending on the reflash, it either was not there, or crashed similar to the play store. :confused:

EDIT:

OpenGl is enabled
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
There is definitely a problem with gapps and the play store. Lots of people are having problems after play store replaces market, even with CM7. I think gapps is somehow corrupting the google credentials. Has anybody tried going to settings, apps and selecting Play Store (or maybe Google Account Manager app) and clearing data and cache there?
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
Cleared the data and cache for Google Play app (no luck), but what is the account manager listed under?

Tried to restore accounts with titanium from when I had a google account, not a thing happened
[Nook Color General] fattire:
Yes, this was a joke... my answer to all the bogus "change such and such and the NC will be 3x faster"... my point being that there's a placebo effect. We did play around though with some of the suggested improvements in IRC doing all kinds of tests and not finding any real difference. Also looked at source and most of them didn't do anything at all in ICS.

So next time someone asks for some unproven change to build.prop you can just tell them it's already included and covered by the ro.magic.optimization property ;) If that doesn't work I'll have to turn on ro.placebo.enhancements=true...
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
If you select 'all' in the apps, you will see Google Account Manager.
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
I did, its not even there...maybe this is a problem :mad:
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It took me a while to track it down. It is GoogleLoginService.apk in /system/app. It sounds like that would be an important app to be able to log in. It is part of the gapps install zip. Look to see if it is in your system. If not, then maybe it did not install properly. Or maybe the google installer did not put it there for some reason. Or it could be there and just not activated? If it is there try installing it. If not there try extracting it from the zip and putting it in /system/app. Be sure to fix permissions to match the other files there. Then reboot and see what happens. Worst that can happen is you have to reflash again.

Edit: Maybe another app to try clearing cache and data on is Google Services Framework.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
You had to go public, huh?

I was just about to put up zips and a donate button.
[Nook Color General] svip:
I'm visiting a friend and my NC running both Eyeballer's last few nightlies and my own compiled Cornerstone build is unable to see his wifi network, even after adding it manually.

It's a normal WPA2 network, identical to my home wifi which my Nook recognizes fine, and both my Desire (also running ICS) and two different Ubuntu laptops see it just fine. I'm sitting right next to the router right now and the Nook finds 7 other nearby wifi networks but not the correct one.

I've tried turning adhoc mode off in tiwlan.ini as some people recommended. Any other suggestions? Even router settings that might affect it?
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
I recopied the GoogleLoginService.apk along with the Vending.apk and Framework (I forgot what that was called) but it says "Application not installed" if I run any of them. I did remount the /system as RW, but I'll try again later today
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
There is a new gapps dated 3/17. Have you tried that? Get it at goo-inside.me.
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
I just downloaded it but there is no difference in result.

I'm going to switch to a newer update and see what happens
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
The problem is in the settings that are left behind in /data. /data is not touched with a flash of nightly or gapps so any corruption is still there. I recommend backing up with Titanium Backup (just the installed apps, not system apps/gapps) and formatting data with CWM. Then after you have freshly installed the new nightly and the new gapps, then restore your installed apps from TB. That will clean out any potentially bad info in data about the gapps.
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
Backing up and crossing my fingers :D

EDIT:

Most of my apps are done restoring, Google Play still seems to be in working condition!

Will the same thing happen after a rom update?

CM9 on Rooted Nook Color

Hi,

Is anyone experiencing constant freezing with the CM9 root? I constantly have to reboot it and the touch screen lags a bit. Any advice would be helpful!
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Need more information about your configuration. Installed on Emmc or SD? Opengl version or non-opengl?

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color General] elias.m.khoury:
I am having the same problem. The phone suddenly freezes especially when I turn WIFI ON or when I use the 3G.

I am using Magldr 1.13 and ICS CM9 1.5 (both SD and NAND have the same issue).

When trying with NAND I am using the 250MB recovery.

When trying with SD I am using a Class 4 8GB Micro SD.

What would be the solution?
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Wrong forum?
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
I wish the nook had 3G
[Nook Color General] otaku91:
I just installed Samiam's latest nightly. I can't seem to find a menu button for legacy apps. Am I missing a setting that enables this?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Legacy apps? You mean to run in screen compatibilty mode? That is in the Dev Tools app. Go to developer settings and uncheck 'disable compatibily mode'. You must reboot after that.

Or did you mean install from unknown sources. That is in security. But I thought that was checked by default.
[Nook Color General] Necromancyr:
Finally decided to switch to have CM9 on the emmc after using it on an SD card install for awhile...and of course hit an issue.

Basically, WiFi disconnects after a few minutes then goes into this reconnect loop and refuses to stay connected unless I turn WiFi on and off.

I'm using eyeballers 03/24/2012 non-OpenGL build. Previous build on the SD card was 02/06/2012, which worked fine. Was hoping a newer build would resolve some of the random issues I was having (i.e., tablet apps not being in tablet mode, etc.)

Anyone seen something like this before? Via search I could only find a brief mention of a 'Wifi reconnect issue' in 2 posts and no real details on it.
[Nook Color General] jakelov:
I'm having the same issue. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] budbuss:
shutdown problems

Anyone have a problem shutting down their NCand keeping it down. Mine keeps starting back up!!!!!

Thanks for any help or suggestions
[Nook Color General] bdcrim:
I think that was an issue with several nightly builds 4 or 5 nights ago. I think the issue has been resolved. Try flashing the newest build.
[Nook Color General] budbuss:
That didn't do the trick. Had to load nightly from the 23rd.
[Nook Color General] Theteflondon:
Is there a way to expand the desktop grid in cm9? There is a big space at the top that i would like to place a widget but i am unable to... Does anyone know if I can and how?
[Nook Color General] DigitalMD:
Trabuchet (CM9 launcher) does not have that option.

I'm trying out the Nova launcher, download from here http://novalauncher.com/

It's got lots of options including what you are looking for.
[Nook Color General] itesla:
I put ICS on my Nook SD card a few weeks ago. For some reason all the apps I have purchased/downloaded over the past year don't show in the market any more. A few do, but I know there have been tons more.

It's kind of a pain because I don't remember the names of al the widgets I have been using because I've always just found them quickly in my apps section of market. Now I can't with ICS.

I am 99% sure I ran the telephony fix when I installed ICS. Is it related to that?
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
The repo just merged a preference change that allows users to change the grid size, so any build from now Mon should have it.

It looks like a bunch of changes to Trebuchet are being included in the update to 4.04. Trebuchet 0.2 seems assured, which should open it up quite a bit if the initial 0.1 was any benchmark.
[Nook Color General] DigitalMD:
People with lots of different devices are having similar issues with Google Play Market. I think it's Google not your Nook. They are about to drop their cloud and movie service on us.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
In whatever the latest update to play store was, there is control over the market filters in the store settings. You can select no filter at all. I don't think the telephony fix is needed anymore. I haven't checked anything too deeply, but I am fairly certain the whole selection is there.

Things are available such as call blockers and 3g on/off. I haven't been flashing the telephony fix at all.
[Nook Color General] Necromancyr:
I think I resolved mine - or at least i haven't noticed it again. I changed a setting in Samba Network Fileshare (Turn off Multicast Lock) and I THINK it's fixed. Updating to a newer nightly today as well, so hopefully that will make sure it's fixed. :)
[Nook Color General] therkr:
I had SneakPeek 1 lying on an old SDcard but about an hour ago I updated eyeballer's 26th march openGL build (ON the SDcard) and now green cyanogen logo thing is replaced by "cyanboot".

I just wanted to ask if its normal. And why this change?

PS: I'm posting this here coz I though this would be related to CM9. Point me in the right direction if I'm wrong...

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] rampart51:
Yup...its normal and Cyanboot is easier to use....don't you think?
[Nook Color General] itesla:
I did the ICS update and noticed the missing apps in MyApps before the GooglePlay change.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll dig around some more.
[Nook Color General] az1324:
Just installed the 3/27 nightly and worked pretty well until I ran Bubble UPNP and it killed my wifi connection. Wifi still shows as connected, can turn off/on and reconnect, but no data to browser or any other apps until I reboot. Also happened with another uPnP browser. Any fixes?
[Nook Color General] therkr:
Yeah Cyanboot is easier but I freaked out because I thought I didn't change the bootloader/cwm...

But, then I found out that on popping my other CM7 SD, I got back the green logo during boot.

Can I imply that these logos have something to do with microSD(s)?? I think that the nook boots into the microSD and then these "bootloaders" by j4mmer/fattire make it to boot from microSD/emmc as desired.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] boxcar8028:
Just made the jump from CM7 to ICS with eyeballed's CM9 nightly, love the new rom but can't get google maps to find my location with just wifi. I don't think its maps because this is also the case with other apps. Anyone else having the same problem? is there a work around?

BIG THANKS TO ALL DEVs FOR BRING ICS TO NC:D:D:D
[Nook Color General] otaku91:
Sorry for the very late reply, I finally have some time to dig back into ICS on my Nook. I am having trouble finding the android_winusb.inf file. Where is it located?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] asting:
Sorry if this has been addressed, but is anyone else having wireless issues? My building has pretty high interference, but I can't get signal from an N router 10 feet away. at about 5 it's low signal. It shows good until I connect. I'll be searching the build.prop for any options I guess.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
These bootloaders are put on your system by the nightly as they install themselves. So the version you have is based on the last nightly you installed on that device, SD or emmc. And you are right, their purpose is to make it easier to decide what you want to boot to.
[Nook Color General] therkr:
I might be stretching this a bit too long....

But what I meant to ask was: "The NC generally cannot boot via emmc when a bootable SD is inserted but to make it happen AND to boot into recovery easily the bootloader is used."

Please tell if the above is correct?..
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes that is correct. If a bootable SD is inserted into the slot it always takes priority and boots first. So the bootloader there provides the means to boot to emmc or to recovery or other systems on either emmc or SD.

And if you have recently installed CM to emmc, the same bootloader is installed there and will boot to it if a bootable SD is not inserted into the slot, also easily choosing recovery if you want.
[Nook Color General] therkr:
Great! Thanks :)

I'm finally starting to get the stuff that happens "under the hood" ;)
[Nook Color General] fattire:
The analogy I use is that Cyanoboot allows you to boot "through" the SD card to the emmc, where the default is that if you've got a bootable SD in the slot, it'll go first.

Think of it as having a bootable floppy or CD or USB stick that you like to keep in its drive or USB on a PC but don't want to have to boot to every time. You can set CyanBoot (the bootloader) to "skip" the removable media and go straight to the harddrive (on PC) or emmc (on your nook).

Incidentally you were able to do this w/the old u-boot as well (which also had a menu) but it wasn't as easy to use IMO (and no bias here-- I did that menu too, based on j4mm3r's excellent work previous to mine)..
[Nook Color General] therkr:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Thanks for dropping by and clarifying. :D

P.S. Is there any place/documentation where I can go and read this stuff up rather than bothering you guys?? :p
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
What, the thousands of posts on the XDA forums aren't good enough?

I kid.
[Nook Color General] chilre:
wanted to try out CM9 with the new kernel, so started with a new SD card. when i flashed latest opengl build, cm9 didn't boot. After the cyanoboot screen, it was going into a boot loop. someone suggested in another thread that one has to install a build prior to Mar 10, and then flash new build (not sure if it was for this problem, but tried anyway). I am still having the same problem. Been using cm7 on emmc, so don't want to wipe that. Anyone has any idea as to what I am doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
That reflashing the earlier ROM was just for emmc installs. Try the earlier again, but this time try booting to see if it works. You may have a bad download of the newer one.
[Nook Color General] chilre:
oh... The earlier does work, which is a pretty old build (downloaded sometime in Feb). However, the md5 hash seemed to match. Ill try downloading again anyways.

Edit: downloaded again, and it is working now.

thanks.
[Nook Color General] stefandi:
The same for me. I tried the current eyeballer and samiam nightlies and can't get the wifi location. What i found out is that the NetworkLocationService is not running. But i have no idea how to start/force this service. Maybe someone can tell how to "configure" the service. My settings under Locations are:

Google location service is checked

GPS is unchecked

Location and google search is checked

TIA for additional informations
[Nook Color General] worldindo1:
Hmm... I'd just ask around the #nookcolor IRC channel. Me personally I just search the nearest Street/Road/Boulevard/Place/Parkway/Highway/Interstate and scroll around until I find the building I'm in. If you have never been on the IRC channel it's located here: http://webchat.freenode.net/. Next to Nickname type your nick (most use their XDA username), next to Channels type "#nookcolor" without the quotes, and enter the captcha.

Good luck and happy ROMming!, worldindo1.
[Nook Color General] remirol:
I had something similar -- was upgrading from an older CM7 (7.1?) with CWM 3.2.0.1 to CM9. I dropped the latest eyeballer build on an SD card , wiped /system and /data, and flashed it; when i rebooted, i got the cyanoboot screen, but only a black screen when it tried to load. I tried about four different builds, all of them produced the same problem.

Finally fixed it when racks from freenode suggested flashing it twice before reboot; that got it to work properly, the second flash took much longer than the first... it was never successfully flashing right the first time. I've tried re-breaking it since then, but mine won't break anymore -- apparently whatever it is that causes it is permanently fixed for me now.

If anyone reading finds this post and has the same problem: it was suggested to see if you can get a recovery log from one of the boots after a failed flash. I would, but ... yeah, I can't break it anymore. :)
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
The flashing it twice advice originates from a change made to the install scripts in CM9 made mid March where it tries to back up the gapps applications when installing an upgrade ROM. This can get confused if there is no previous ROM (e.g. by wiping /system before installing). The install seems to go really quickly but doesn't actually succeed. If you then do it again it sees enough of an install not to get confused and the install proceeds properly.

This is also why it is recommended not to wipe /system when upgrading. First it leaves the gapps in place plus it doesn't get confused.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Has anyone looked at recovery.log when this "phantom flash" happens? If not, please suggest to the next user to pull it.
[Nook Color General] svip:
I've had a problem with the touch screen in certain games, I think since the new graphics drivers.

The only one I remember is Elder Sign: Omens from the Market. Sadly the game has just been updated which makes the problem slightly less obvious but I've just confirmed it on my current install (eyeballer 0409 with the 2.6.32.59 kernel). It worked on the early CM9 nightlies (minus cutscenes)

From what I can tell, the game is behaving as if the top left corner of the screen is constantly held down. On the character selection screen, trying to pick a character acts as if you dragged it to the corner the moment you let go. Holding a second finger on an empty part of the screen fixes it completely.

Since the game's update it isn't actually playable as it exits when it can't play the intro movie, but I've seen the touch screen bug in a couple other things.
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
I'll check that out next time I flash by doing a wipe beforehand.

I thought I saw a suggestion that the problem might be with the exit 127 in check_prereq in the backuptool.sh and that maybe changing it to 0 or 1 might fix this.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Yeah, I'd seen that suggestion from DizzyDen, just wanted a log as I can't seem to reproduce this bug...

Edit: nevermind.. managed to reproduce it. Looks like it fails to mount /system after that error.. hmm.. will investigate..

Thanks again to fattire for some guidance here :)
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
I've had several goes at this reply now as I was trying to understand the logic change here. Is the umount case right as it seems to umount when the /system is missing already?

OK. I see a second version is up now where the umount logic has been reversed. It will be good when this gets in to avoid confusion on new installs or if system is wiped for any reason.
