Sorry I didn't see this anywhere on this thread and hope this isn't a stupid questions. I saw on some youtube video of ICS on nook that there is a dock on the home screen and a "scroll bar" on the home page too, but I don't see it using either Launcher or Trebuchet. Not important, just thought I'd ask.

Thank you SO MUCH to the devs for this. I'm loving it!

Location services

I noticed (I think in the dev thread at some point) about Location services not working in CM9. I noticed something similar on my own NC when I installed CM9 (on both SP2 and one of the unofficial nightly builds). I read someone say that a different version of Maps will resolve this issue, but I have yet to determine which one, and if this is actually true.

Anyway, I realized this morning that while location wasn't working for most of my applications (i.e. Maps (when you try to have it go to your location, it says "Please enable a My Location source in system settings"), Facebook, etc) that Latitude was updating my location, even though Maps refused to find my location.

To add to the mystery, I also installed TetherGPS from the market (you'll also need to enable Mock Locations for this app to work), and even without tethering it to anything, the location stuff (for all the apps that used to not work) magically start working!

Has anyone else noticed this? Any idea why this is happening?

I hate asking, but I've finally gotten to a point where I'm frustrated enough and the answers aren't coming anymore. After finally getting the build environment setup (Ubuntu NIC dies if more than 1 CPU assigned to the VM?) I've run into a couple issues where no resolution has seemed to work. I'm running off fattires setup doc using Ubuntu 10.10 in a VM (VHD either Hyper-V or Virtualbox).

1) Repo sync only seems to download 3.5-4GB worth of data and stalls. ^C breaks nothing and the terminals states the process is still running if I go to close it. I've monitored the data usage on the NIC and can confirm there is nothing being pulled down after that point. I can't confirm exactly what files this is on, but seems to be around the same point every time. Was there a change in the setup information that I missed?

2) ADB does not recognize the NC. I thought this was possibly that the VM software I was running didn't have any specific USB support, but switched to Virtualbox and am getting the same thing. The VM software recognizes it (it shows under USB devices in the window) but Ubuntu doesn't seem to pick it up. I did a lsusb and don't seem to be getting it. I created the udev file for /etc/udev/rules.d (or whatever the location was as listed) using the Vendor and Product ID shown from the VM device listing, but no go. I thought about using wireless ADB, but don't know if the script to pull the NC files for the build would work (anyone confirm?)

Thoughts?

I newly have ICS/CM9 working. Generallly v. nice!

Response of UI is slowish compared to CM7 or Phiremod. Maybe the browser (see below)

Location does not work in general for me (y, checked the use WIFI for location option)

Setting WIFI to turn off when sleeping with/without power means (for me) WIFI stays off after waking up. Gotta turn WIFI off/on in settings to get WIFI back.

Browser (stock) always running, using a lot of cpu, not very responsive

My experience with repo sync in a vm was abysmal, even with 7MB/s DSL. I ended up doing it on a Ubuntu box and rsync-ing it to the vm. If you're wondering why I didn't just stick with the box, I'm traveling back and forth to a remote work location, running the command-line-only Xubuntu vm on my win7 laptop.

I successfully pulled the prop files from my NC using the wireless ADB.

I had a similar problem; I returned to a CM7 backup (mirage) and then reflashed ICS (13/1 nightly) and now deep-sleep is working.

Was it a matter of just moving the files over or did you do a physical drive to VHD?

I'll give the prop files a shot with wireless adb. Prefer it that way, too many cables around my desk as it is.

Thanks.

So I think it installed fine (based on what I saw on screen during recovery), but I still can't find the app I'm looking for in the market. I'm trying to install The Economist app (which worked great on CM7 on my nook) but it's not showing up when I search in the market.

Is there anything else I should be doing?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
This is good news, but doesn't appear to work for me. This is actually one of the first things I tried. No matter what, I get no LBS stuff.

I have not actually attempted to connect to a Tether GPS server, but post-install, even running the client, does not make LBS work. If I don't have it running, Maps says to enable a location service, if it's running, it says "Waiting for location".

Is this related to the Sleep of Death (SOD) issue where the nook goes to sleep and can't be woken up without hard rebooting. I get that all the time. Outside of that, everything seems to be working pretty good. But usually at least once a day, I can't wake the nook up and need to reboot.

Location services fix

This is my first post, so I hope this is the correct place to put this. Our problem with location services on the ICS nightlies is the same problem as discussed in this kindle fire thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414582&page=2

I made this change to the 1-18 nightly and now location works using wifi networks in maps and weather apps.

Please note that the aapt file that comes with apk tools needs to be updated from the android 4.03 sdk.
[Nook Color General] Benzoman:
EDIT: installing the gapps without the installer or at least the gapps for ICS the file I have is both. Everything is running good off the card now and leaving my internals alone. (I hope. LOL)

Not sure where to put this... I'm running Mirage 7.2.0 kang internally. I've built several sdcards to boot 7.1 and ran them before taking the plunge to internal. I've never had any problems I couldn't fix on my own by reading more.

This had me stumped though. I want to keep running Mirage and boot CM9 off an sdcard. I've built the card using the recent img from samiam's new post in the nightlies thread. Every thing went fine until the final boot. I'm stuck on the screen that says press the android to continue. When I press it an error comes up saying it failed. I press OK and it repeats. Rinse and repeat...

I just had a thought that I may have used the gapps with the onetimeinitializer which could be the problem.

I'll check back in after I redo this.

Thank you so much for the insight. I never would have gotten ADB working on CM9 without this hint. I had ADB working on CM7, but not CM9. Turns out they do have different device ids.

My device id was a little different yet (USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D02), but I was able to get it working by putting that id in the inf file.

For those that are still having trouble, make sure you have USB debugging selected and connect the Nook to your PC. Then open device manager and look for the "Nook Color" under "other" that has a question mark beside it. Right click on properties and look at the "Details" tab. It will show the device id that you can copy and paste to the android_winusb.inf file. The id should replace the one listed in the quote above under "B&N Nook Color". Save the modified file. Then you can update the driver by right clicking on it in device manager again and select "update driver". Then find the inf file you just modified and select it. Should work.

"No room left on device" makes me think you need to expand the boot partition to 200 MB , and try again. I'm using Easeus Partition manager for that job, but there are other ways I'm sure. Right after you burn the image file onto the SD card, run the partition manager and THEN copy over the update...zip file and gapps.zip files. Should work for you.

Thanks vmuch. But - there seems to be more that two people trying these builds. How come I'm the only one with no space left...? This is very simple. Brand new card set up, and the thing won't work in the basic configuration everyone says they are trying.

I guess I'll try re-formatting at some point. Again, thnx for response.
[Nook Color General] brentb636:
Early builds of the CM7 sd card setup worked just fine, but then the later CM7 updates got a little too large and there was not sufficient room on the standard partition to fully expand GAPPS, so it became either a 2 step installation ( Gapps after loading CM7) OR expanding the boot partition slightly to accomodate the larger files. This may not be the problem you're having, but then again, it might be the problem you're having. :)

Charging issue - intermittent

I'm running ICS built from fattitre's repo. Works very well, but I've had a charging problem twice so far.

Problem is that the Nook thinks it's charging, but the battery level actually continues to drop. Using stock charger and cable. Normally works fine, 'n' goes green at full charge. Battery life is OK.

First time I saw this, I had about 60% charge. I tried plugging / unplugging charger, using a different charger, using a different cable - always showed charging, battery continued to drop. Rebooting solved it.

Second time, found Nook near death in the morning with charger connected and orange 'n'. Removed charger, turned unit off, started over. Charged fine and is working fine.

Config:

CM9 version 9.0.0-RC0-NookColor-KANG

Build Date Jan 17 21:29 EST

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

Build Number IML74K

I'll grab and build from the nightlies every now and then, but I'm curious about whether this is a unique problem. It seems different from other charging issues I've seen here.

I don't mean this in a harsh way, but that did get covered here and there in a couple threads when fattire released his sneakpeak2 build, which was the first build to be that large.

Sorry for your frustration with that. I think I've already seen one tweaked CM9 version of that installer but I don't know if it included partition size changes. It's still early in the game though, and I'm sure you'll see a lot more knowledge collected into guides and updated tools eventually

I appreciate the comment. I spent a lot of time working on this, searching, looking at many posts. Missed the one or three you mention. Thanks.

Oh, btw, and not to spend time justifying my inability to find the true path, which I agree is up to me, but I would have thought the many posts on this and some dev forums on how to run cm9/ics which say that all you have to do is use verygreen's instructions would have some oh, yeah qualifiers. But maybe I don't understand it all enough to opine, so n'mind.

If you go to settings and developer options, there is an option to show touches. This causes a little round thing to show up when you touch the screen. It shows you on the screen where you are really touching. This is good for diagnostics. I found that sometimes I am not touching where I think I am touching. Another thing I found was that for most selections you need to touch lower on the screen than you think would be necessary. This may be a bug in CM9. Now I select lower on purpose and selections work more often.
[Nook Color General] Samiam303:
I never had to change the size of the boot partition using the ICS fixed version of the SD image I uploaded. What size SD card are you using? I know the partitions created on different sized cards are different, so maybe it's only an issue on certain SD card sizes? If we can figure it out, I can try to fix it in the image.

On the 18th Fattire pushed some hugely improved touchscreen code thanks to Keyodi's hard work. Builds newer than that should enjoy better touch functionality.

i'm just wondering if it is worth it to switch to the cm9 nightlies..and what exactly is it that is not working anymore?...why do we not have an official yet?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Sam,

The image size for boot is the same for all cards. It does vary the size of the other partitions based on SD card size. See verygreen's initial post for how the script sets up the other partitions based on SD size.

There is not a problem for the just the nightly on boot. It is only when you try to do the gapps at the same time. There is only like 15MB left after putting the nightly on. Some of those gapp zips get pretty large. A few more MB in the image might help a few folks. Most people use larger than 1GB cards now and I think that is why verygreen made such a small boot partition, so that when expanded the system and data would fit on a 1 GB card.

A lot of users make the boot partition bigger by using partition software to expand it before the script is run the first time.

Another 50MB or so in the original image might make sense. Just make the image 50MB bigger before you compress it. I would do it but I don't have the tools set up on my system.
