Well we can't keep supporting old stuff, latest gapps will always be here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps
[Nook Color Android Development] zires:
Hey,

I reverted using a nandroid backup. Was not able to play some games as the touch screen flaked out. I'll wait for prime time.
[Nook Color Android Development] bsw11:
This is a link to a boot animation file????
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I agree about old stuff, but since we don't have ROM Manager working to get stuff like nightlies and gapps, most people don't know where to go. So they go to Sam's server. Maybe he should try to keep it up to date for folks, but that's kind of a pain. But your link should help. Maybe he could put that in his opening post. He posted his because early on there was an NFC problem and he fixed one so it did not cause things to crash. The newest probably don't do that. I don't use gapps on my CM9, so I probably miss some things. If I want something from the market, I go to my CM7 on emmc.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
No, it's about change log. Who said anything about bootanimation?
[Nook Color Android Development] skwalas:
Just a suggestion, but taosaur's dualboot works quite well as an alternative setup, and you can upgrade your cm7 to cm9 on the relevant partition so that you can do everything in CM9 that you do in CM7 (including accessing market for all those "new apps"). I'm set up that way and happily flashing CM9 nightlies on primary while keeping CM7 daily driver on alternate. The plan is as CM9 becomes more stable over time, I will do more of my activities CM9. Eventually, I may only keep CM7 for the hardware acceleration (my kids watch lots of movies on trips!).
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
My nightlies are now available through Goo Manager (both opengl and non) and gapps is also linked through there.

Maybe I should start my own thread.. I didn't really want to step on Sam's toes since he led the way with his builds, but I do also have opengl builds which imo seem to be pretty stable as of late and allow you to use Chrome.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Oh, that is wonderful! Thank you so much.
[Nook Color Android Development] ibilln:
Chrome

So, what is the advantage of using chrome when it crashes if you goto settings? To moi, a main advantage of Chrome is sync. :)

Whoops, off topic, sorry
[Nook Color Android Development] jamesbra:
Your own thread would be a great place for people to post their opengl woes and possible fixes

I use Aurora on my PC, so for my Nook I rock Firefox Beta. They both sync with each other and my sessions carry over from one to the other. I do, also, have Chrome on my PC. Is there anything that makes Chrome better than any other browser on android? Or is it all a matter of preference?

You can try clearing your calendar data. Go to settings, apps, and select all at the top of the page. Scroll to calendar storage and click on that. When the screen opens, click on 'clear data'. That should wipe out all of your calendar stored data. You either have to resync with google or manually re-enter all your calendar data. It might be a good idea to backup first in case that does not fix it. You can use Titanium Backup to backup calendar storage and its data.

Ahhhh....leapinlar. Now that was great advice. I've been waiting for the calendar to get "fixed" for over a week now. Could have saved myself some aggravation if I had just asked you first.

So, before I spend the next two weeks trying to learn how to rebuild the kernel so I can enable netfilter...you wouldn't happen to know how to make IP tables work, do ya? We have the module, but whenever I attempt to enable the firewall, it prompts me to insmod.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
It did not work for me? I have reset the tablet and will install it newly tomorrow. Hope that helps
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Nope, don't know much about that. Sorry.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattymcdirty:
i don't know how most of you manage to use these cm9 roms as your daily driver on the nook ... sure, its lookxin good but the performance isnt that great.. i tested it on my nook and not even the simplest games from the market like bubble shoot e.g. work normal.. they do not even run acceptable.. or is just something wrong with MY nook?!
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, Doodle Jump, and Gameboid; to name a few, all work on my nook. What is your cpu set to? what's your governor?
[Nook Color Android Development] _highway_:
I am looking into flashing these cm9 nightlies to my nc, and I had some questions:

1) currently coming from cm7 stable, is it recommended to just do a nandroid backup in cwr, and then flash the nightly + extras (gapps, telephony_permissions, boot animation)? I see a lot of people talking about sdcard installs, and I have a lot of stuff on mine, I was just looking to do an install, and then flash some new ones over top of it, and possibly go back to cm7 if I run into a lot of stability issues or whatever . . .

2) I saw in one of the last few posts that the gapps in the original post is depreciated, are any of the other files -- like the boot animation fix -- that need to be installed as different versions?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Get the latest ics gapps from here:

http://goo-inside.me/gapps

The wifi SOD and telephony are ok to use. Sam has a revised bootanimation installer that has the new CM9 animation. You might want to use that one, but either is ok.

If you want to be able to just test ics and go back to CM7, I would definitely consider an SD install on a new or spare SD. Then you can go back to CM7 very easily. Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12240928

Just substitute CM9 for CM7. And look at the later posts in that thread from me for some CM9 specific files and tips.

thanks, i'll check all of this out!
[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
excuse my ignorance. this is for new installs, right?

if we already have an old gapps installed, the apps will just update in the app store?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You can update with the market individually or run these as a mass update all at once. So it's OK to flash over the top of the existing to update.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattymcdirty:
yes... they work... somehow... but acceptable? smooth? ive set my cpu to 1200 and gov to performance for those tests...
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Hi again, I tried to wipe the device via the menu by deleting all data except the memory card (I have installed CM9 on sdcard). After a restart the tablet boots into recovery and shutdown. It started again but there's is nothing wiped. Can you advise me how to do the wipe without deleting my data on sdcard partition?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
How are you wiping? Via what menu? If you are using the standard CWM recovery you are wiping emmc, not the SD install. The only way I know to wipe the SD installation and keep your media partition intact is to use the alternate CWM recovery that has been modified for SD installs. You can get it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22719241

After you have installed it and booted to it, choose wipe data. It will erase the installation data on the SD but leave your media data intact.

Chrome on Android

How do we know - it's not on Android :-)

Since it does not sync on the nook I don't use it so don't know. But. some reasons I use it on other platforms:

The aforementioned sync

Favicons everywhere - even in folders on bookmarks bar. Safari: Grumble...

Omnibox

Nice extensions (ok, FF has more; maybe better - but ff is not on Android/nook)

Check for update easy - in about box. Ok FF has it now...

Many tabs handling is best in biz. They just scrunch together.

Google Apps avail every tab. Do I use it? Not much. But - cool.

DWIM - generally, it works like you think it should. (This is an entry for "etc")
[Nook Color Android Development] votinh:
Is it true that most, if not all, of the lately CM9 builds always shown "Feb 10" on the Build Date? or just me?

I've flashed a few of them and it's always shown the same.

If it is true then how do I know that I successfully flashed (assuming that I do not look at the NC when it does the job).

Note: I run CM9 on the uSD.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
That is not true with Eyeballer's builds, but may be true with Sam's. One way to find out more about the build is to look at the build.prop file in /system. It may tell you more. Also the dates on the files will be different if it successfully installed it.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Are you sure that sd card is formated and not emmc?

I just want to make it sure before I do this. The worst thing would be, when internal RAM is deleted...
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I think based on what you said you did earlier that emmc data is already wiped (when you thought you were wiping the SD). Have you tried booting to emmc to see what's there. If your emmc data is still intact, you can go to the original CWM and do a nandroid backup before you do anything to the SD. That way if it does not turn out the way you want it to, you can always restore.

If you installed the alternate CWM recovery per my referenced post, it should do nothing to internal memory.

clockwork won't instal latest nightly, says "BAD"

downloaded update-encore-210120303.zip, booted clockwork, wiped all data, wiped both caches, chose option to install update-encore-20120303.zip, got error "unable to open zip, (BAD)". not sure if i did anything wrong, but I'm going to move backwards on the list of nightly builds until it works unless otherwise directed...

For those of you not liking how the Kindle app looked on your tablet gui, they just released a new version that fixed the wide margin and wide line spacing issue. You still cannot adjust them, but it is much improved.

Did anyone get the Chrome browser to work from the market? I downloaded it from there and the app open fine but when I type in a website the page loads and nothing comes up even for google.com ? Any ideals Running CM9 off of my sd card.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
You have to have OpenGL enabled for chrome to work properly, although entering settings makes it crash. There is a thread dedicated to eyeballer's builds which are available with or without OpenGL enabled.

Update just because: Listen, this might be old news already and I just missed it, so be gentle if so. I keep hearing battery life is a major reason why people roll back to cm7, and I still, randomly it seemed, had trouble getting my nook to deep sleep. Well, I figured it out on my setup, I am pretty sure. I have tested it pretty thoroughly with CPUspy (well, for at least 45 mins).

My nook won't go into deep sleep if I turn off the screen manually. If I let it time out, no problem. My guess is that everyone stressing about sleep compusively turns off the screen when they're done to conserve battery, not knowing it is actually what is costing them. That or everyone knows this already.

I still found this quite exciting.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
That date is the last time I did a full clean build. If you're not building from scratch it doesn't bother rebuilding the build.prop.
[Nook Color Android Development] votinh:
Understood, m8.

It's just 'cuz we used to look at the build date to determine which nightly build we are using. That's all.

possible bug

running update-encore-20120225-grayfoxmg1-supercharged.zip on the SD card.

dont know the cause of this bug, but i will explain how i found it and see if anyone else has the same problem / can reproduce it.

tried to use my nook on saturday, and the battery was dead.

i plugged it in (using the nook charger and cable) and it popped up the charge screen. so i left it for 10-20 minutes and it booted on its own, typical. i unplugged it @ 20% and plugged it in to a different wall socket. and it wasnt charging. i thought perhaps my cable had finally failed, as the micro-usb connection is a little wiggly.

i unplugged it and plugged it back in, all points, 2-3 times and it still wouldnt charge, the charger LED stayed green not orange i rebooted the nook to the emmc and back to stock nook os. it charged, so i rebooted back into cm9 and it continued charging there.

came home tonight and it had drained to 20% again. i plugged it in and nothing, no charge what so ever. i reboot and it starts charging instantly.

so i dont know if its a bug that when its @ 20% (or perhaps 20% +/-5%) that the charging, for whatever reason, fails.

so, the question is, is this a bug in cm9? a bug in supercharger, a bug in some tweak that was added/updated in cm9 since i was running update-encore-20120122.zip

please discuss, thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] skylar.sutton:
I'm having a huge herpderp moment. How the eff do you get this thing mounted to a PC (via USB)?

I plug it in, jump over to the storage settings and check "Media Device (MTP)"... but the PC just barfs and says it can't find drivers for MTP or NookColor.

Were there USB drivers for this thing that I purged off the PC or something?
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I was thinking about sharing this, although this wasn't the thread I had in mind. People can be kind of touchy about thread topics. Oh well, here it is anyway.

I also missed notification widgets, and tried a ton of ways to get it back. This is what worked for me, on the attached thumbnail. You will see on the notification bar I do not have a volume slider, but on the home screen are two widgets, the robot is the logo of Widgetoid the app I used to make the notification widgets, and the other is a widget by Widgetoid that brings up a pop up box with sliders to all system volumes. You could easily replace the mute toggle with that.

I wanted to control my media player so I could start songs and skip tracks without leaving whatever I was working on. Think of Widgetoid as working like Elixir, but with more power-menu type buttons.

The widget to the far right launches PowerAmp, my music player of choice because it scans emmc where I keep my music. Widgetoid says that the media buttons only work with the stock player, but PowerAmp has a setting option that allows it to recognize headset buttons, and with that enabled it registers the notification widgets just fine. This leads me to believe that if you used another music player, combining it with HeadsetDroid or something like it that links headset buttons to media players they would work as well.

I have the app launching widget because once in a while, the play button won't start the music by itself. But after the first launch all buttons work perfectly.

This is with toggles off and some other settings messed with. The color code for ICS blue is 33e5b5 although I just eyeballed.

in winxp, i have to disable the android debugging (under settings / developer options) to get usb mtp to show up. but even then, im not a big fan of MTP in winxp; it seems sluggish and i have to F5 (refresh) to get it to show all the contents of a folder...
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You need to make sure you have USB debugging turned off. If you have it on Windows says it's looking for mtp drivers, but it is really looking for adb drivers. Mtp drivers normally come with Windows Media Player, so almost everyone has them already. Also, mtp shows up toward the bottom of your left pane in Windows Explorer (not a drive letter).
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
@freonchill: I'm delighted that you choose to use my rom, however I must confess to not knowing about your bug. While I did once have that issue on an older rom, whipping the battery stats in CWM seemed to fix it. Right now I'm going to recommend that you upgrade to the newest nightly(Sam's or Eyeballer's, you choose) and use the .zip in my signature to put the service.jar and bootanimation into your new rom. I will link to the newest script I have that I've tested on my nook. When you upgrade be sure to wipe dalvick-cache and battery stats to see if this helps your battery.

Out of curiousity what are your specs? What clock speed and governor? Which V6 settings?
[Nook Color Android Development] skylar.sutton:
Thanks - that fixed it.

Next problem... I can't connect via ADB. I tried editing the google usb drivers with the Nook hack but no luck. Anyone have any tips?
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I have had good results using the ADBWireless app.
[Nook Color Android Development] skylar.sutton:
Disregard. I fixed it by opening the google USB driver and adding the hardware ID's for the Nook into the device lists.

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I don't know exactly what are inside of the community tweaks anymore, but I updated the services.jar on 3/2 to reflect repo changes. The old one still worked for me, but I figured nightly flashing should include the latest changes to the framework as well.

[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
i try to do a new build every week or two, ill tell you if i have that problem in a future build

clock speed 300 to 1100; gov on conservative (i used to use interactive X, but with the extra battery drain of ICS, and lack of proper deep sleep in the january builds. i couldnt even get a day of "deep sleep" before. i loved the more responsiveness of interactive X, but took the small performance difference to be able to have minimal usage (1-2 webpages loaded, reading for about an hour a day) and getting 2-3 days battery rather than 1.

i didnt make any changes to the v6 settings in your build/rom; it just seemed faster than default (but that might also have been b/c the sd card i put it on was faster, 0.854 MB/s [ 208.6 IOPS] vs 0.332 MB/s [ 81.1 IOPS]. i had read the original v6 post and was hoping that if i used your rom i wouldnt have to take as many steps to get it set up.

my lazy theory is, if there is a better configuration/performance setting for the nook hardware specifically, why not just let someone build it into a rom and use that.

i say i am lazy, b/c back in the win9x days, i would spend hours testing and benchmarking setting in a new game (think quake 3 commandline settings) to get that extra 5fps. but that was when i was in highschool and college. i now work 50-60hours a week and spend the rest of my time with my wife and son. so, spending hours to tweak out my computer hardware, when you have already done it for me, isnt as much as an option for me anymore.

thanks!

I love this rom but I can't get my own wallpapers. Any suggestions what to do? Every picture I try to use, it enlarges it. I'd appreciate any help. This isn't my area. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
On this subject of sleep mode, I just discovered something. I know you have been looking for a sleep button. I found one, but I think it is only on the phone gui so I'm not sure it will do you much good. In the phone gui you can customize what buttons show up on the notification bar. One of the choices is sleep. It's under settings, system, notification bar. I don't know if a similar setup is available tablet gui.

Edit: A user just PM'ed me and told me about a software widget you can get on the market called "Nook Power Button". He says it works great for him (even on CM9) and has a sleep button on it. I have not tried it, so I can't say how well it works.

When you try to set wallpaper from the ui or gallery, I am guessing. I was having trouble with that, but if I long click wallpaper images in my browser and set as wallpaper, then it works fine. Not sure why it's zooming in them the other way, but it'll work to get you non funky wallpapers.

I'm intersted in deep sleep also.

Using the 03/02 build my nook goes into deep sleep perfectly. I'm getting some pretty impressive results with my initial testing.

I had to recalibrate my battery because of months of inconsistent/eratic use of my nook it had started acting wonky giving me SOD like symptoms. I just finised that process and did my first full battery cycle yesterday.

Started out with 100%. Overnight I only was down to 98% with cpu spy confirming deep sleep mode. Used the nook all day yesteday reading tapalk, surfing, etc, on and off over the course of about 8 hours and I was down to 55% at the end of the day. Read a bit last night with google books and was down to 35%. This morning I was at 31%.

I'm using interactivex with 600mhz min 1100mhz max.

So granted I only have a few days of imperical data, but this is starting to look pretty good so far.
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
No, not an option in the tablet gui... just installed "Nook Power Button," turns the screen off, but does not appear to put it into 'deep sleep.' Will keep trying...
[Nook Color Android Development] ryuz4ki:
Thank you for taking some time to reply, but I can't use the method you offer. I'm using ezPDF to read and have assigned the volume buttons to flip pages, so if I'm using the Music application while I read, I have to go out of the app and manage the volume and then go back, so I would have liked for a way to have a volume slider built in like the brightness slider, but understand that's not a really big issue.

Thanks again for your time. :)
