The recovery on the boot SD will just do things to emmc where you have CM7. Don't use it unless you want to change emmc.

Reflashing the verygreen SD image installer will be enough to reset everything. By doing that everything on the SD is erased and you can start over. I recommend you use the new installer referenced in the first post of this thread. It has been updated to work better with CM9.
[Nook Color Android Development] sljwampa:
I used that installer in the first post. So how do you flash the zip files in the first post and ones like the wifi fix to CM9?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You can't if you installed to SD. See my post on the other thread here:

Neither of those are running ICS for the correct drivers afaik...
[Nook Color Android Development] madman390:
Thanks for the tips. I've tried the press and hold the power button but I did not get an option to boot into recovery like I do on CM7. It just powered off.

For the hold the "n" button, is that done inside ICS or done while the nook is booting?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] sextonma:
For builds prior to 1/24 (which appears to be broken), the extended power menu comes up with a long press of the power button, only when you're in phone mode. You can get phone mode by increasing the lcd density as described in post 355 of the ICS/CM9 Discussion thread in the General Section. Note, you'll lose the back and menu buttons.

To get the boot menu press and hold "n" button as soon as you see the CyanagenMod logo and before "Loading" comes up.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Man, I don't know why there keep being so many issues with the builds not working right. I'm going to do a clean build from scratch.
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
So out of curiosity, nightlies prior to the 24th are (mostly) working?
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
Nightlies since Sam started from scratch (5-6) days ago are fine, just the extended power menu doesn't work on tablet ui....As far as I know. Last nights is fine for me.

[Nook Color Android Development] madman390:
That must be it then. I was using a nightly from the 24th.

One more thing, is the process still the same if I'm running this from an SD card?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
So are the two of you saying that you flashed the nightly from the 24th or 25th and it worked, just didn't show the extended power menu? 'Cause I think what sextonma is saying is that the nightly didn't work at all. In either case, I'm rebuilding from scratch right now so there'll be a new, scratch-built zip dated as the 26th uploaded as soon as this build finishes.
[Nook Color Android Development] neversaynever:
Hi, wanted to setup ICS on my Nook Color and have a spare 1GB card. The way I understand it .

Step 1. Flash the image over the SD card from this link : http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS.img.zip

Step 2 : Copy the latest ICS nightly to the SD card (boot partition) from this link : http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/CM9/

Step 3. Boot up Nook and it will install ICS and shut down

Step 4. Copy the gapps file to SD card (boot partition) from this link : http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/gapps-ics-4.0.3-sam-noinit.zip

Step 5 : Reboot into recovery, gapps will be installed.

Q1 . Is this correct?

Q2. If I want to flash the latest nightly then what steps to follow on top of this install?

Q3. The process for flashing files like : http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/telephony-permission-fix.zip is to simply copy to the SD card and reboot into recovery? Or do we get a proper CWM menu and have to install zip from SD card?
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
Yes, i haven't had a bad flash since you wiped it clean. I am however on 1/25 and CWM(4.8.1.4) is saying I have an unsupported device. Build prop looks fine.

[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
I used to hold Power and "n" at the same time and CWR would start. With ICS that went away at least for me but, I just tried this method and I get into the Boot Menu which I didn't expect at which point I scrolled down to the second option and selected recovery then "Boot Now". Worked like a charm.
[Nook Color Android Development] sextonma:
I had a problem with 1/24. 1/25 was okay, but no power menu in tablet mode.

Have an issue that I don't believe has been brought up, and if it has I missed it. When I try to use TiBu, I get that message that says I have to go back to settings/applications and click the box to allow "unknown sources". But when I go into applications, that box is not there. Have I missed something?

Oh, and I'm on last nights "nightly" and I'm booting from my sd card.
[Nook Color Android Development] sljwampa:
The build that was just uploaded (update-encore-20120126.zip) is to big for my SD boot partition. Other than taking stuff out of the zip is there a way to increase the SD boot partition size?
[Nook Color Android Development] j0ckinjz:
That's because the settings in ICS is different from other OS's of android. That option used to be under apps but it got moved. "Unknown Sources" or something named similar to that, should be under the security tab in settings. Also, when you try to install the app and it gives you that error, when clicked, it should automatically bring you to the correct tab in settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
Thanks! I figured it was something like that.

Thanks for the quick response, too! ;)

Use EASEUS free partition software and you increase your partition to max SD GB. Make sure to check on-line help to apply the partition. Many people in this forum have used it.

Sam, I flashed your nightly 20121024 and it worked. Build date still shows Thu Jan 19 (in Settings/about Tablet). But I am sure it was updated since Android updated, and I wiped cache.

The only issue I am having, and seen on previous nightlies, is when charging the tablet: The nook cable lights green(100%), however the battery is not charging , but discharging. I have to turn Tablet off and then on before it starts charging.
[Nook Color Android Development] j0ckinjz:
I've been using the last build (26th) for the last few hours, extended power notifications work and screen shot works. Also, seems like there are some new settings tabs, although most of them are placeholders. Also, this build is 10mb bigger than normal? It also seems a little bit slower than previous builds.

Problems I encounter:

-2 galleries. com.google.android.gallery3d and com.android.gallery3d

-Auto Mount and NookUMS still don't work and debugging is enabled.

-MTP seems to be broken for me. EDIT: Seems to only work if i enable stay awake (I can't let the screen sleep).

BUG: Performance tab doesn't let me change the CPU.

Side Note:

-Does anyone else have problems with their nook power button being too sensitive?
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
I don't know why the zip is bigger today than normal -- I'm going to ask around to try to figure out if something changed. EDIT: Sounds like the increase in filesize is because of the CM Settings beginning to be added.
[Nook Color Android Development] sextonma:
Today's rebuild has the extended power menu and a bunch of other cool stuff. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Still checking it out but it has overclocking too.
[Nook Color Android Development] J_M_H:
Samiam303, can you change the .img file in the first post so that the new builds will fit in the boot partition? Maybe give it some extra space for all of the new features coming!

Thanks for your time and effort to provide us with these nightly builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
I'll look into doing that, and will hopefully have an updated version soon!

I can change both the min and max speeds, just like with CM7. I don't know how/if this interacts with the Nook Tweaks settings.

Edit:

I checked later and it was back at 800 MHz and this time I couldn't change it. I don't have setcpu installed.

A short time later I got the popup saying that the battery was low (14%). A few minutes after that I got my first SOD since switching to ICS.
[Nook Color Android Development] j0ckinjz:
It works now, I hadn't launched setcpu yet and I guess I needed to launch that and give it superuser.
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
Just installed. My first comment is, why is the keyboard so ridiculously small? On CM7.1 I installed the ICS keyboard from the market and it worked really well at a nice size. Niw it's absolutely unusable. For now I'm on SwiftKey Tablet X which offers a "large" option that's still only barely on the verge of being big enough to use.

Samiam,

Thanks again for making these available. Do we still need to flash the telephony fix or has it been included in the source?
[Nook Color Android Development] discipler:
Thanks so much, Just wanted to say I flashed the Jan 26 Nightly to my Nook Color along with the Gapps package and it's so sweet. I will play with it a few days and give feedback if issues arise. Thanks for continuing this work. It's very much appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I have been trying all day to make a bigger image.zip for SD installs, but since I only have Windows on my machine I'm not having much luck. It really needs too be done on Linux. I hope Sam gets it done since several folks use the SD install and need it for the new nightlies.

But I do have some really good news. I said in some earlier posts that the homemade minor fix zips could not be installed with the SD recovery script. I have since discovered that there was some kind of error in the fix bootanimation zip that Sam made. And that's the one that kept erroring out. I tested the script with the wifi SOD fix that I made and it worked with no errors. And I don't know why Sam's failed, it's almost identical to mine except for being to fix boot animation instead of wifi SOD.

Anyway, I made a new install zip that fixes wifi SOD, boot animation and telephony. I named it with gapps-gb- on the front so it will work with both SD and emmc installs.

For SD installs, put the nightly zip and the file from here in the boot partition. (assuming Sam fixes the image so they both fit.) Then reboot into SD recovery. It will install the nightly followed immediately by installing the fixes. If you need to install the real gapps, after flashing those two put just the real gapps file in boot by itself.

For emmc installs, after flashing the nightly just flash this file. It will fix all three issues.

Get the file here:

http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=czI5Skf

Edit: I just found where the extra files are that makes the nightlies bigger. There are six new mp4 videos in /system/media/video. (3 videos, each in 2 resolutions). They take up 10MB of space. I don't know what they are for, but they are cool. They might be for some kind of boot video.

Edit2: The reason that the file is named gapps-gb- in front is for SD install users. If I named it update-, the install script would think it was a nightly and get very confused when you put it together with the real nightly (it might install the fix before the nightly and the nightly will undo the fixes). If you named it anything else, the script would ignore it. Emmc users can name it anything you like as long as it ends in zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] lickarock:
This seems to be more stable for me than official 7.1 ever was. I love it. Will keep you posted if I hit any issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] chui101:
Temporarily, what I've done is started splitting the zips in two and flashing each part separately to get the whole update. Works for me!

Jan 26 nightly

This one seems a little faster on my Nook. Thanks for all the hard work guys.

I would still like to see a New and Weather app with a menu button so I can change the content.

But the SOD problems seems to be fixed with the combo patch and everything else seems to work like a charm.

Thanks again.

I'm trying to get the latest nightly on my sd card and it keeps saying that there is not enough space. What's up with that? I've partitioned my card more than once, and I should have a huge amount of space on my boot partition, but its just not working. Anyone else have this?

1/26 is money Sam,deep sleep ,smooth,no SOD w/ patch. Great job to the Devs and thx for hosting/compiling . Only issue so far is the system clock settings revert back to Max 800 and conservative after boot. Controlling with CPU master and it is sticking after boot.

Whats the story with long press overlay for power? Looks like it was patched in but has anyone actually ported over the power settings?

Only thing that I need fixed is the wifi sleep policy so that it wakes back up when the device is turned back on or stays awake while the device is downloading data over wifi, but no biggy I just use the keep wifi awake while plugged in for now and do all downloads via plugged in.

also why hasn't the boot image been ported to the encore only github?

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I thought I would give a little explanation how the installs differ between normal CWM and the SD recoveries.

With CWM, it gives control to the script that is built into the zip. In the case of nightlies, the script first, after verifying that the prior install was for the right version of CM, backs up your gapps if they were installed. Then it formats /system so nothing is there. Then it installs itself to /system, followed by restoring the gapps it saved earlier. Then goes through a bunch of housekeeping tasks like fixing permissions and adding symlinks. Lastly it updates your files in /boot (kernel, ramdisk, MLO, and uboot).

With the SD install, the zip files must be named properly before it will even begin to install, even if they are in the boot partition. For properly named zips, it ignors most of the script built into them and substitutes its own script. It does not format /system, it just copies the files in the zip over it. That means if there were files there that are not in the zip (like gapps), they stay there. Then it changes a bunch of things like pointing to the right partitions in the SD card instead of emmc. It also does housekeeping things based on the original script built into the zip. It also modifies the ramdisk file built into the zip so that it points to the right partitions too and will boot to SD and copies that to /boot. Verygreen did an amazing job writing that script.

So you can see there are basic differences in how they are installed.

Thanks, leapinlar! I opened the zip file, removed the videos and the new file size of 104mb was perfect. I was able to install the last nightly with no problem. The videos are nice and if I decide to use any of them, I will add them to my sd card as I would any other file.

I was hoping someone could help me, i installed the latest nightly and the gapps with the fixes for sod and the bootanimation and everything seems to be running well except my nook doesn't go into deep sleep and the top running process is AndroidOS. I used to have CM7 but i did a complete wipe factory reset to stock nook os then installed CM9 (not sure which nightly i started with). When i updated to latest nightly i wiped cache and dalvik cache then flashed the nightly build. Am i doing something wrong?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Nothing wrong, it is a bug with CM9. It does not always sleep well, especially with wifi on.
[Nook Color Android Development] minnime007:

[Nook Color Android Development] numus:
The properly res'd boot animation zip. Should be simple to slip into your github for future builds. PITA to have to reflash it every time you flash a build from your github.

Also any update on the longpress power options? It looked like you patched it in but i thought CM9 had a built in power manager that it would work with.
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
I am seeing around .5% discharge per hour with wi-fi on (maybe a bit more). Certainly nothing to worry about. It comes on every time I press the power button. I don't have a lock screen. Maybe that affects the waking up.

I am also running from an SD card. I have read of little differences in the way things act between eMMC and SD but not ever explained.
[Nook Color Android Development] seth.i.simmons:
Hmmm.... Just flashed the latest nightly (1-27), and I can't seem to get the thing to connect to wifi at all. I'm at college so I have to open my browser to accept the terms before I can surf, but I can't even connect at all to get that far. It just says connecting, the signal drops to "poor" where it was excellent before I told it to connect, and then it just says "saved" and I get no connection. Any ideas? Anyone else having the issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] ToiletDuck555:
Has anyone flashed the nightly CWM Recovery? If so how is it working?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
This won't help. If it is handled by the encore branch, it gets overwritten with the default animation. I tested it with fattire. The CM team won't accept the change to the code that permits local animations. The correct way to handle it is that once the CM team makes a final animation, there will be a properly rotated version along side the other versions for the various screen densities.

Patience,

Homer

I flashed the nightly from the 25th yesterday and did some pretty heavy browsing, RSS, and email last evening - everything ran pretty well, a few freezes that seemed to be live wallpaper related.
