Hello all,

Does anyone know if there is an emmc version of cornerstone bouncing around? My mac is quite slow, so building on it is not really an option right now.

I can wait if the answer is negatory.

Thank you all for your hard work.

Yep, same here.
[Nook Color General] lekofraggle:
Fattire,

Thanks a lot. Not only do you take time out of your busy schedule to perfect our new os, but you take time to answer questions in the user forum too. You rock!!!!

~Leko

P.S. I am loving how smooth I.C.S. is. In many ways it works better than the stock os.
[Nook Color General] greiland:
I can't get chrome to work either. Just a white screen.

What do you guys suggest as the best video resolution/format for the ICS rom? When using CM7 I've been converting my videos to 720x400 h.264 files. But when I try them out in CM9 (using MX player, s/w decoding) the videos lag quite a bit. any suggestions?
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
Flashed eyeballers 2/20 opengl build over tnps latest then flashed the 2/15 tweaks and I'm running smoothly at 400 - 1200. Chrome works but trying to access settings fcs. No sod yet but had a random lockup when playing with voltage settings.

[Nook Color General] kevlingo:
I am enjoying the sugery goodness v6 gives to me in cm7.2 (thanks mrg666). I see the success of v6 in ICS and now these new bits of sweetness in the form of the sysctrl.conf/build.prop tweaks. I'm wondering if these latter tweaks would work with cm7.2 too?

I'm not opposed to doing a backup and diving in, but wanted to check in to see if anyone else went on this trek before me?

Thx all!

I've been using Handbrake to convert movies for my Nook for months. I did a number of test files at various image sizes and settled on width: 512 hight: 224 to 300, (keep aspect ratio). I know this resolution sounds low, but I couldn't see a big deference in quality and the file size is very convenient. A 90 minute movie h.264 is about 500 mb.

I use MoboPlayer app and playback is flawless.

Can't seem to find an answer for this one...Is there a know bug where when you have keep WiFi on during sleep to never the wifi doesn't re-connect after it wakes up. I have to cycle the WiFi off/on to get a connection.

Thanks for any help.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes, it's known. That's why I started leaving wifi on all the time. That in turn led to SODs for me and having to install the SOD wifi patch.
[Nook Color General] clshores:
Well, I will just kepp with the cycle off/on to extend the battery life. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
I like having the ability to long press back and kill an app, but is there any way to increase the time needed to press. I constantly end up closing apps when trying to go back, no matter how fast I press.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes, go to settings, accessibility, and there is an option to change how long the press is.

sorry...tl;dr the rest of the thread....does netflix work on cm9 yet?
[Nook Color General] libertus77:
Nope. Still no hardware acceleration.
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
welp...i'll stick with what i got then
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
Beautiful, question the second:

In accessibility there is the option for large text which is too big. I assume that manipulates some font size somewhere, but can this be changed manually as I want the in-between size.

and 3.

people using any emulators (nintendo, etc) with any success?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
In settings, system, there are several font size settings.

Gameboid, GBCoid, Genisiod, SNESiod, and Atariod all work on my rom(Samiam303's 2/20/12 with community tweaks). I don't know about N64oid, but I saw someone's screenshot on either this thread or Sam's where they had the icon on their home. Hope this helps. All the *iod emulators, with the exception of N64iod, are free on the slideme market.
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
Upon further investigation it seems that setting is for long pressing an icon to move it.

Has anyone had any troubles getting their calendar to sync with the ICS calendar app? Mine just randomly decided it doesn't want to sync, ever. It's not a HUGE deal as I mostly do calendar stuff on my phone, but it's such a nice calendar app it would be nice if I could figure out what's going on with it and why it's being garbage.

workable daily driver

Thought it might be helpful to post how successful I have found the folowing steps to be in building a decently working system. I have not had an SOD, Flash sites play well, Youtube plays as long as you don't try and do it with the HD on. MX Player plays video well in s/w (fast).

In order to save the battery you need to set wi-fi off while sleep unless plugged in. I keep account sync off. And the battery stays charged for days.I have the cpu in interactivex with max 1200 and min 600.Touch is almost perfect, sometimes it needs a slightly longer hold to register, sometimes it's a quick touch.Boot animation is full screen.

I followed the advice posted throughout the ICS nookcolor forums. It is booting off the SD card.

You all already know who the thanks goes to.

step 1:

generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img

update-cm-9.0.0-encore-KANG-20120220-opengl-109-signed

gapps-ics-4.0.3-sam-noinit

step 2:

update-encore-20120219-tnp

step 3:

update-encore-tweaks-02-15-2012

Then use the Market to add in your additional apps.Use MTP to move music, books and video over.

I'm not sure how to add the newest nook tweaks fix without busting this working system up.I tried early on to develope but lost track of the exact steps and put it onto the back burner. Need to give it another try.

I can't say enough how great this system is working now and just wanted to share how I got it to that point.

Aaaand, with links added...
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
Hey eyeballer, thanks for the build. This 2/25 build is great.

Nook tweaks audio is now functional, which is just great. I can confirm that Chrome beta can be seen n market, although I just get a blank screen when I open it. There are a lot of complaints about the newest update in the market, so this could be non build specific.

I have made the jump to running nightly cm9, finally. There are missing things still, but the only thing I am truly missing is an enabled netfilter. And I can wait on that.

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
For Chrome, you'll need to use an opengl version. I have one building right now, so check back later.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
Aaaand chrome is up and running! I hadn't run a nightly of yours in a couple days and I thought that opengl had been rolled into the main branch. Now I know.

I went straight to your download depository after seeing your post and the build must have just gone up. I was the first to download. I felt very very bleeding edge. It is the little things, you know?

I feel like this build adds a TON of user functionality that makes an immediate difference to me. Great stuff, and thank you personally for the chrome add. Having the market alert me to updates is important for a beta, you know?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Does anyone know if V6 SuperCharger works/is useful in ICS nightlies? Would MiRaGe's suggested settings from his CM7.2 thread work?

[Nook Color General] pwilfox:
Just wondering... I recently got racks dual boot sd card up and running, kinda. The mirage cm7 part works great, the ics boot works great too, but I can't get wifi to work. It's suggested that I use a file explorer to modify a .ini file, all I have to do is change a 1 to a 0. But there is no file explorer baked in. No wifi means no market, so I can't download one. Adb doesn't see my nook when ics is running. So yeah, it's a little frustrating. Everytime I try to post on the thread it tells me I can't, because I'm a new user (over 1 year, but only 4 posts) so I can't post on a development related thread. So if any one can point me to a file explorer that I can install as a zip through recovery, that would be great, or a way to use the terminal app to change the .ini file... If not just think of this a #5.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Here, try the attached, it is the file manager from CM7. I made it into a flashable zip for you. It doesn't have a file editor built in, but at least with this you can start installing apps from your SD.

Removed attachment
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
Taosaur-

Greyfox link is to a single post containing a fairly heavily tweaked ROM of SamiM303's build. If you just want the files to supercharge one of eyeball er's builds, go to my original post that he quoted. The services.jar file is swiftly going out of date, but I will be posting a newer Nook specific file probably tomorrow. This one does the job for now, but there are some bugs related to the older file not having synced with the repo in a couple weeks.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508481

Main issue is the return of the out sized keyboard in portrait and a few error messages. But bugs are bugs. Should be fixed over the weekend.

Thanks for updating the dual-boot emmc! I am trying to decide if I can part with the storage space and then go for it!
[Nook Color General] pwilfox:
Thanks a ton

Thank you so much for the quick response. It kind of works like a charm... i go into recovery, install zip from sd. it installs no problem. But when i boot into ics, its the alternate rom, I should have been more specific, file manager isn't there. It is installed on the primary rom, Mirage CM7.0, though. Ics is under the system2 partition i believe. Oh well, thanks again
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
How does racks install things on that system? Maybe I can mod the zip. Does he just call it /system2?

Anyone has issue with charginig on he Nook Color with CM9? Plugging in the power when the device is up and running doesnt charge at all. However, restarting the NC while the cable is plugged in can begins the charge(the n light turned to yellow).
[Nook Color General] pwilfox:
you rock

You rock... It worked like a charm. The second file manager installed perfectly. I used it to install es file manager. used that to edit tiwlan.ini. Now i have wifi... Thank you again. You are the (Wo)Man
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
I have been in that situation before. At work I go long stretches without a computer (months, sometimes) and the nook is provides me with ALL of my computer/internet as well as a media player of all stripes. I have at various points broken my wifi, and without ADB, you can get caught without an app that you need before you can unlock your device.

In the case of a no wifi ICS, I had to reflash an emergency copy of 7 I kept in the root to get to file manager. Now I always keep a 7.2 on the sdcard, for when I am gone. In my emmc, I also keep a folder with a copy of every absolutely necessary app as a permanent repository (Titanium Backup and Total Commander usually being enough to get the rest of the device back up to snuff.) From there I can usually blunder my way into a fix.

I would love to see a file explorer built into cm9, although I am sure there is a reason there isn't one presently. OI File Manager sure didn't seem pleased about their apps' bundling into cm7, or at least irked at the manner in which it was done (a signature problem, at the very least. It is open source, I believe, but still, their market listing has quite a testy explanation).

Yeah, but that is why I love this thing so much. I went from a book and a flashlight to having the entirety of modern culture at my fingertips in a literal flash.
[Nook Color General] Dj-Gutz:
Yeah , I think there is something wrong in the charger code ( or at least gets broken when you use nook tweaks )

Do you get this bug only when you use the original cable? ( usb charging works as it should? )

Do you have nook tweaks installed?

Try switching the usb host on/off in nook tweaks , it should fix it
[Nook Color General] Windsor1959:
Having used CM7 and tried MIUI, I knew I needed to try CM9 as soon as I found out about it. The CM9 nightlies may not be "official" yet, but mine runs very well. It clearly shows both the potential of ICS and the hard work of many dedicated people. I have installed all my apps, including sideloading some that Market said were incompatible with my system, and everything works very well, with only one exception so far. When I installed Random Mahjong Pro, I found that the animations run much more slowly than they do on CM7 (even with both OC'd in the same way). A hardware acceleration issue? That's the one bug I've found so far, if that helps anyone. Thanks again to all for all the great work!
[Nook Color General] libertus77:
Yeah, game and video graphics are still choppy because they haven't gotten the hardware acceleration down yet. They'll get us there!
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
You might want to try experimenting with cpu governors for the animation issue. I found on similar games that the animation seemed to run slow when using On demand or Interactive governors. Performance ran well but I didn't want to leave it on that for battery consumption. Conservative also seemed OK which was somewhat counter-intuitive. I suspect the other governors are not responding so well to the demands for some kinds of animation.

The other method I have used is to set up Tasker to switch to Performance governor for some specific apps then revert when they are not active. Its a bit like a do-it-yourself governor.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
For anyone who isn't following the absolute free-for-all tweak session in the development thread fornICS builds, but still wants to try the V6 supercharger, I modded the services.jar file from eyeballer's 2/27 non-OpenGL build. The bugs from using the old file I found to work are gone.

Look at attachments at the bottom of the first post, although if you need directions, I recommend the second post. The OP is kind of an info dump...I was trying to cover everything and maybe got carried away: ).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508481

I will update the file every so often, should it become necessary.
[Nook Color General] Windsor1959:
Thanks for the tip about governors. I was using on demand. Conservative works better, performance better still. I will check out Tasker, too.
[Nook Color General] lfb02000:
tnpapadakos- 'update-encore-20120225-tnp-sd.zip' does enable nook tweaks to work. doesn't have boot animation at all. And does not play flash video. Is it supposed to have bootanimation and opengl working in it? It seems to be really stable and clicks seem to be smooth
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
Having played with a bit more, I suspect the Governor setting may only be having an indirect effect and there is a more complex relationship at the moment between the current CPU speed and the smoothness of particular animation.

First, I tried playing a game with Conservative and then InteractiveX and kept track of the time spent on each clock setting. Max was set to 1300. InteractiveX actually spent 66% at 1100MHz and 33% at 600MHz. Conservative spent 50% at 1100MHz, 30% at 800Mhz and 20% at 600MHz yet was much smoother.

So I then tried setting min and max CPU to the same so the Governor had no effect. The game played much smoother at a steady 800MHz than at a steady 1100MHz. But the results varied when I tried a different game with different animation. The other variable here is how Nook tweaks is set up determines which CPU frequencies are available.

I am going to try a few more experiments to try to determine what is going on and what may be more optimum settings. One possibility is that some CPU settings are lowering gpu performance, e.g. increasing cpu clock might cause the gpu clock to be lower. It was known in CM7 that 1200MHz gave best graphic benchmark and increasing to 1300 actually lowered frame rates.

some questions

Upgraded to ics today. For some reason my email app closes down as soon as I open it. Also, is there a menu for different apps? If so I can't find it
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You mean like the app tray? You can see all your installed apps by clicking on the upper right icon with the many dots in a rectangle. Other than that, I don't know what you mean.
[Nook Color General] stevek28:
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I mean, inside a app, there might be different settings (like refresh in a mail app). In cm7, there was way of getting to a menu
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Ok, there are three little dots in a vertical row. Sometimes it's on the status bar on the bottom of the screen and sometimes in upper right corner in the app itself. That means menu.
[Nook Color General] Sudonym:
Hi Leapinlar, it looks like the 0227 build, at least with opengl, may have broken your 240 dpi zip script (unless its something I'm doing). When I installed your zip and rebooted it went into a boot loop, and I had to recover back to the 0225 ICS build. I find that I not only need the larger fonts, but also some things actually work better in the phone mode - such as Nova launcher and the ICS keyboard, so I'll stay with that for the time being.

Hopefully, someone will eventually integrate the code changes you mentioned in a previous post, but in the meantime thanks for making ICS accessible to us older chaps - and thanks to everyone who's helped to make all of this possible.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I just put a new one up today. Try that one. It's based on last nights build. I'm running it fine on my non-opengl version.
[Nook Color General] nukedukem:
Thanks. Maybe my sdcard is going bad. I just tried to restore a CWM backup that I've restored several times before and the MD5 sums didn't match...
[Nook Color General] autumncowboy:
I think this is probably due to you not starting from a clean SD card ... in that perhaps it was already running some version of of CM7/ICS?

If I may, start over by writing 'verygreens' IMG file to the SD, be sure to eject it from PC, then re-connect to PC and there should only be one partition named "boot". Unfortunately Windows will always only show "boot" as they are all marked "primary partitions", but if you head over to "Start->Run->diskmgmt.msc" (MMC Disk Management Snap-in) you should be able to confirm that only 1 partition is on the card.

Then copy over the "cm-upgrade*.zip", eject and boot it from Nook. Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] greiland:
Screen Lock with PIN

When you have a password set for the screenlock, is it a "feature" with ICS to require the password whenever you manually turn off the screen (i.e. hit power button), regardless of the time span you have set under the Automatically Lock setting under Security Settings? I have mine set to 30 minutes, but if I manually turn off the screen, it requires a password immediately. With CM7, it would not do this. If this can be changed, it would be nice to have it work the same way as CM7 in a future CM9 build. Thanks for your consideration devs! Keep up the great work!!

Problems connecting to 802.11n

Hi,

I am playing with CM9 for a few days, but I can't get it to connect to my wireless 802.11n network (protected with WPA2). It connects fine to an unsecured g network, but with my own network CM9 stays at connecting... and then just shows saved and no ip address is assigned?

CM7.1 & CM7.2 work without any problems.

Anyone with the same issue?

Thanks,

Mark
[Nook Color General] 911jason:
Yes, it's a known issue. Seems like my router the D-Link DIR-655 seems to be a common culprit. I can connect to it in mixed mode with CM7, but with CM9 I have to switch it to 802.11g only.
[Nook Color General] mmark66:
I read that someone had an issue with a D-Link DIR-655, but I have a different router (an older TrendNet TEW something). Looks like this is a more general issue...

[Nook Color General] brian717:
I know this post's in general, but is anyone else building from the source? The reason I ask is that I'm getting a bunch of 403 errors when I attempt to repo sync. Everything worked fine until the git:// -> https:// change was pushed to the repository, and I had to reset my .repo/manifests directory.

I'd post this in the development thread, but xda won't allow it since I haven't spammed other areas with 10 posts yet.
[Nook Color General] rabshear:
I feel your pain Brian. The only fix at this point is to keep trying. The devs, in my opinion, shouldn't have put out the tutorial thread. Now everyone and their brother is trying to build CM9 and they are clogging up the server. I will give you some advice, try removing the local_manifest.xml from the ~/android/system/.repo folder and trying to sync again. Keep trying it until it syncs clean. Then put the local_manifest.xml file back and sync again. Keep trying it until it syncs clean again. That is the only way I was able to get it to go. And I'm not sure I didn't just get lucky. I know it sucks, but the only alternative is to just wait until a CM9 release of some sort.

Good Luck
