So after realizing that I was on cm7 build 177, I figured it was time to just make the jump to ics. However, after doing so, I have noticed one small, but significant, problem. Long press on the keyboard does squat. So long press w does not result in 2, even though it displays 2 highlighted in blue. Anyone have a fix for this?

[Nook Color Android Development] wally2164:
First of all, BIG thanks to everyone who has been working on this!

I also wanted to ask if anyone has been seeing their Nook failing to wake up after going to sleep. I'm running the latest nightly, but sometimes, 1 out 10 time that I let it goto sleep, walk away to come back, it will not wake up. I have to force reboot. The only thing that I can think of is that it is possible bad file and I need to start over.
[Nook Color Android Development] X Project X:
Yep. Has happened to me too. I'm running the nightly from the 14th though.
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
This is still cool, but there is definitely a problem with the nook not sleeping because had a 100% battery and came home from work and it was completely 0%. I'm sure this will get worked out over time. unreleated, i got my Asus prime today.. Awesome, i was a bit nervous with all the negative stuff but it's working pretty good and battery is amazing. Got it at 17%, used it for 3 hours and it finally got down to 5% when i started charging.
[Nook Color Android Development] DS36:
Maybe its your wifi sleep. On a tablet I like mine set to sleep the wifi on screen off. In the wifi settings.

For Samiam303

Latest Quadrant at 800MHz:
[Nook Color Android Development] worldindo1:
This is a Wifi SoD (Sleep of Death). Go into Settings, click on Wi-Fi, click the Menu button (top right corner, 3 vertical dots), click Advanced, and change Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to Never. The only downside to this work around is that if you're downloading something, you need to keep the screen on, otherwise it will get interrupted.

EDIT: Once we get a build that will no longer need that method, follow that same process to turn it back on except you would change it back to Always. For now though, that fix is required.
[Nook Color Android Development] worldindo1:
See the above post :) Good luck with ICS.
[Nook Color Android Development] X Project X:
Thanks! Wi-Fi turning off during sleep is really a non-issue for most, I'd think. Hopefully nobody is downloading more than a few megs to their nooks most of the time
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
Where do you set this? Actually, i had a widget to turn off wifi, and i know i turned it off before pressing power button.

But, where is this, where you can set the wifi off on screen off, i use some apps (like Internet radio) where that won't work, but still interesting.
[Nook Color Android Development] asting:
This is a known issue. The fix is to hit the alt keyboard in the bottom and pull the other one up :P

but seriously, nothing yet.

leapinlar, thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions here! I hope to have a bit more time to follow what's going on in the thread now that my school year is almost over. To confirm -- the only modification that the old zip had was that onetimeinitiailzer.apk was removed, and whatever the weird issue was with that apk, it seems to have been resolved so there's now no issue with just using the regular gapps zips.
[Nook Color Android Development] xpri:
are the opengl or normal builds more stable?
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
I don't really know at this point, I've never run builds with opengl enabled. You'd want to pop over to Eyeballer's thread to get discussion with people who run those builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
I understand that my question I'm going to ask has been answerd here but I can't find it in these pages, I tried 2 new nightlys and flashed them but thing happens, just blank screen, I did a full wipe, did I miss something? Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
There was a problem with the nightlies for a while where if you wipe /system before you flash that happens. There was a problem in the install script. But that's supposed to have been fixed. The solution was to flash an old (pre-3/10) nightly first and then immediately reflash the new one with no further wiping or booting in between. I don't know if that's your problem, but may be worth a try. Ordinarily a /system wipe before flashing is unnecessary and redundant.
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
will try, thank you!

EDIT: It works thanks so much!
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Hi leapinlar, are eyeballers versions these ones:

http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore

Another problem (just want to ask if someone has same problems, since problem-discription is very rough): I can not connect to my WLAN Router any more (with my Nook). Indeed Nook let my WLAN Router hang up so that there is no other traffic possible, even with other devices. I have to restart the entire router. Even wired deivces are affected which neither gets an internet connection any more. Very strange. Hope that eyeballers newest nighlties solve the problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, that's the spot. Just select one that does not say opengl.

Don't have any advise on your router problem. Maybe the latest nightly will fix it. If not, backup your apps with something like Titanium Backup and do a factory reset with CWM recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
If any device, Nook included can hang your router up to the point nothing works, you have problem with your router or your router setup. That should never happen no matter what the Nook does.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Hmmm, I reset Nook now and setup WiFi on Nook newly. Nevertheless, the Nook still breaks my WiFi-Router.

The Nook is not the only device connected to that Wifi-network. I own a:

HTC Desire, running CM7

HP Touchpad, running CM9

S7 Huaweit, running a custom ROM

Samsung Galaxy S2, running stock ICS

No device does any problem to my WiFi-network. I dont know whats going on and can unfortunately not help myself in resolving this issue.

Edit:

I resolved the issue: First I tried to remove encryption. This did not help. I tried another SSID and another channel. Nothing helped. Then I moved forward to extended router-settings and set Wifi-mode from b/g/n to b/g which resolved the problem. This is very strange.

Okay, so I've edited the build.prop for mass_storage,usb and it still doesnt work! What the ****! I can't use this without mass storage. Can anyone help me please?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Don't edit build.prop. You just need to turn it on. Go to settings, storage, menu, usb storage configuration and check off 'mass storage'.
[Nook Color Android Development] can teh man:
It seems as if I'm stuck in mtp mode, regardless of whatever I have set.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
As of a couple weeks ago, Sam hadn't clobbered in a month or so. If he still hasn't, some of the prebuilts from quite a while ago are still in these builds. That can cost you some of the newer functions. Go to build.prop or tablet info and check build date. If it is still in march, the maybe try eyeballers builds. He clobbers daily.
[Nook Color Android Development] can teh man:
Eyeballers being the ones with/without opengl? His seem to default to mtp mode without the mass storage being an option... I remember the last time i tried ICS was early february and it had mass_storage but didn't seem to have any features at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, but mass storage was finally implemented on 4/22. Download one of his after that and mass storage will work.

Just put this on my wife's nook and its turned it into a new tablet. This is insanely fast and smooth. Thanks to everyone who helped out on all of this!

Enjoy. I know I didn't help out at all but it is a great ROM.

This is my Tapatalk 2 signature. Rockin' the app on my Nook Color running ICS 4.0.4, courtesy of Dalingrin, Fattire, and our other beloved XDA weenies (nemith, keyodi, arcee, hacdan, etc.)... oh, can't forget eyeballer ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] Aerogriff:
True that, I had been hesitant to flash it since I hadn't been following the threads and couldn't find any change logs but its incredibly smooth and bug free which is a nice treat. Only bug I've noticed is google chrome just shows blank pages. But I could care less about that since she mainly uses it for games and reading.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Since the option was added I have been unable to get it to work. Fortunately, MTP works great with the Android File Transfer app on my Mac Mini.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Do you have the latest kernel installed? The option requires it. Since Sam does not always clobber his builds first you sometimes end up with old components (like the kernel) in his builds.

[Nook Color Android Development] Jim Barr:
Which version of CM9 did you install? I have been trying to go from CM7 to CM9, and last night's build was extremely unstable on my NC. I'm using the TeamWin graphical recovery utility which works flawlessly with CM7, but it was locking up on my regularly last night when I was trying to install CM9. I wiped the cache, Dalvik cache, and did a Factory Reset, but CM9 was giving me fits, so I reverted back to CM7 which installed cleanly.
[Nook Color Android Development] blazedj:
I just flashed 16.05 nightly. Mass Storage option in settings is grayed out, can't turn it on. USB debugging is off.

Anyone else having this issue on the latest build?

Ran into a problem yesterday, where I couldn't download a ROM update because android said I didn't have enough space on my SD card. As you can see from the picture below, the card has plenty of room, yet android reports the incorrect amount of available space.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I would not call 272MB plenty of room. Are you saying you have more room than that and the graphic is wrong? What does your file manager say you have? If that is the right amount, that is very marginal. Try moving some of the apps you have installed to SD to internal and see if that helps.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] MechaGen:
Upon further investigation, it turns out that my 16GB sd card was almost full!

Deleted about five nandroid backups and freed up 3.5GB's. Lol

Still not sure what's taking up all the space. I'll keep looking.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Filling it up is easy. I'm always having to look for things to delete. A good tool I use is Astro File Manager. It has a function under tools to show SD card usage. It shows you exactly what is taking the space.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Oooh, a real use for Astro. That's actually a nice display!

The old Unix pre-GUI sysadmin way:

# du /mnt/sdcard | sort -n

Those nandroid backups sure suck up the megabytes, don't they?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Actually I use it for one more thing. It does a nice job of manipulating zips. You can add or delete files inside zips by just viewing them and deleting or copying to them and they are automatically saved. And the signature is left intact.

Hey guys... I've been running this cm9 for about a week.. Im on the 5/14 build. My question is, where do I get the new kernel?? I checked this entire forum and found nothing. :( I'm not sure if I might have it all wrong and there isn't one. Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
The ROM usually comes with the latest kernel. But if you are using Sam's build you may not be getting it because he does not make clean all of his builds. If you use eyeballer's build on techerrata.com, you always get the latest because he makes clean all of his builds. I don't know of a link to get the latest kernel for sure otherwise.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
That particular tool reports the empty space OK, but it ignores used space that it can't categorize. It should at least report "unknown" or some such.
[Nook Color Android Development] gbohm:
you can allways look on the cm9 nightly changelog.

does anybody have any news about cornerstone ? is it more stable now? is anyone planing to rom it? i am thinking about getting the sources and build it myself because it seems like a great idea

from a nooked tablet near you
[Nook Color Android Development] j8048188:
You can try ES file explorer. Not sure it works for CM9, but it does a great job on CM7 for the sdcard/emmc analyzer.
[Nook Color Android Development] farandel:
This feels like a dieing thread :( its a shame.. great rom
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
It seems it would take a bunch of work to make cornerstone compatible with'4.0.4. The patches are for 4.03 only, and some hunks fail when building for 4.0.4. I manually applied the failed hunks on a build a couple weeks ago, but the result had no extra functionality and was barely usable.

A toast notification appeared saying cornerstone was launching, and a cornerstone launcher icon in the tray were the only things indicating a positive change. Wifi was intermittant and many gapps failed.

But from what I understand, the CM team is pretty hard at work on it. Unless cornerstone either updates their tree that looks to be our best shot.
[Nook Color Android Development] bachikho:
it seems that these builds running slower than eyeballer's ones (sdcard with verygreen's method), or am i wrong?

Thanks,

Haven't been keeping up with the latest for the Nook Color lately because I have been busy picking out ROMs for my Samsung Galaxy S2.

Just getting back to messing with my Nook. I have been staying away from the Open GL builds up until now. Are most people using the Open GL builds now or is it still best to stay away from them? My main priority is a stable build.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
My opinion, stay away. Others say it's ok, lots using it. But that thread has comments on both versions

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
Open-Gl helps with/and allows you to run some apps, but at the cost of stability, where as non-open-Gl is more stable but might have an issue with some of those apps in the above category.

I run Open-Gl because a game that I use fairly regularly runs better on it.

So my advise is to use Non-Open-Gl until you run into an app issue, than switch to Open-Gl to see if it fixes it.
[Nook Color Android Development] bhalbower:
Thank you both for the reply. Non Open-Gl for me for now.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
So I've fallen off the forum a bit in recent weeks/months, but it's summer now so I'm back! In the interest of trying to bring this thread back up to date with the new developments, I've FINALLY gotten around to making a change I'd been meaning to make for a long time now -- my builds will now clobber after uploading each nightly to the server, so every one will be a clean scratch build. Hopefully this'll get rid of any issues that may have been kicking around from reusing the code.

EDIT: I also want to thank those helpful posters -- I have leapinlar primarily in mind but there's too many to name individually -- who have been tirelessly providing user support and keeping this thread alive. You guys are a great help to the community!

[Nook Color Android Development] afzalarsalan:
How do you keep it stable, greyfox? Mine crashes frequently on the launcher
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
What? The open-gl builds? I use the 19.4 wraithdu busybox in combination with V6 Supercharger (link in my sig) and have noticed it is slightly more stable. But I've never found a CM9 build for Nook the was 100% stable and would never crash. We are the alpha/beta testers for ICS on this device, by doing this, we have to accept a little instability as a requirement. If you want something really stable, you should drop back to CM7.
[Nook Color Android Development] afzalarsalan:
Thanks, I will have to try that. In terms of stable though I was referring to the non-opengl builds which seem to never crash unless you try.

GooManager on SD install

Has anybody tried using GooManager to Flash ROMs on an SD install? I know how to set up TWRP on the SDcard as an Alt Recovery but I'm not sure if it'll properly write the ROM update to the card or will it try to push it to the EMMC. I'm asking as I'd prefer to avoid any headaches with Repairing the EMMC and such.

It'd be much more convenient then using the SD-installer. For now I'll just stick to using the SD-installer until I know for sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I just set up a system today to automate Goo Manager to download the nightly/incremental files directly to your boot partition so that the script can install it for you. Look in my signature for a link to my tips thread. It is there as item # B4.

PS, you do not want the normal TWRP as an alternate on your SD. Everything it does will be done to emmc (including as you suspected installing ROMs there.) I also have an alternate recovery for the SD, but it has been modified to work on the SD. See item # B5 in my tips thread.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
I suspected as much. Good thing I went with my gut. Also thanks for the Tips Thread. It helped solve some of the annoying quirks I've had since I've switched to CM9 from CM7.

Now my only real problem is fuguring out why both of the UPNP apps I try to use (UPnPlay and BubbleUPnP) kill my WiFi connection, neccesitating a reboot. The apps both worked fine on CM7 and I've seen plenty of Screenshots of them working on ICS, but whenever I open either app on CM9 my WiFi ceases to function properly and nothing but a reboot fixes the problem. I get no Errors, Force Closes, or any other signs of fault.
[Nook Color Android Development] itesla:
The latest build here: http://android.sphsolutions.net/Encore/Nightlies/CM9/ is 20120607 . Did samiam stop building this, or did it move, or???

Thanks to everyone who used my builds -- this was a fun project for me and I hope you all enjoyed it too.

Coming from CM7 stable, flashing to emmc via CWM I factory reset in CWM, wiped Dalvik, and then flashed the 1-11-12 build. Flashed the gapps from the rom download list in CWM first and it said setup has stopped working and then realized I need to flash the 4.0 gapps in this thread. Went back and rebooted to CWM and wiped everything as mentioned, flashed the 4.0 gapps and rebooted after. It boots fine, but I get a quick flash of unfortunately process com.android.blah blah blah blah has stopped working. I tried again wiping everything then re flashing the 1-11 build then 4.0 gapps, wiped all again, but it still does it. Someone throw me a bone here?

The Paid version of green power will allow you to create a white list that will keep wifi on if a set program is running (ie Pandora) It also does a better job at this point of managing wifi to turn off and on with the screen.

sent from other side of that
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisDDD:
Yea, and I don't think wifi turns off immediately when the screen turns off, so even if you're downloading something and the screen turns off, if you turn it back on in a reasonably short amount of time, the download isn't interrupted.

But for times I'm downloading something large (a rom for example) I use Extended Controls and have a quick setting to set the screen to always on. I think that and turning wifi off/on when I wake it up (so it'll connect to my router) are the only workarounds necessary with these builds. Otherwise, it's running great and I'm getting incredible battery life.
