Powering itself on is indeed strange. I have no suggestions.

You have to realize the nook color was designed as a book reader and B&N did not even have bluetooth activated natively. The CM devs figured out a way to activate it even without an antenna. Be happy you got what's there. People use Bluetooth for keyboards, mice, etc, where things are close.

You may have to activate MTP in settings. Go to settings, storage, menu, usb connection options, and put a check in MTP. Also make sure you do not have usb debugging checked in development options. Connect the cable. Then if you are running Windows, open Windows Explorer and go to left pane and scroll down. It should be at the bottom. If you are on a Mac, read what it says when you check the MTP option.

When I plug mine in, windows doesn't even give me a notification that its been connected, but if I open up 'My Computer' it is listed under media devices. If you are really having issues than buy wifi explorer pro and handle it from the local network.

Hows the touch screen response on the latest builds? Last build I tried was mid Jan and it made me want to bash the tablet so I switched back to cm7 but I'm missing the clean feeling of ics.

I'm running into a wierd issue related to DPI on the new build. The keyboard is huge now, and trying to use Google Currents is near impossible because it makes the font enormous. It wasn't an issue until I installed the 02112012 Nightly. Anyone run into this before?
[Nook Color Android Development] monkey1883:

Building recovery help

How do I build the latest recovery for running off my sd card? :confused:

I had an old version of cwm but it doesn't work right and I want to use the nightly builds. Thanks!

You can use any version of cwm. You don't need a new version.

Is anyone else having deep sleep issues? I'm getting very litte, close to no, deep sleep and better battery stats isn't really shedding much light on potential wakelocks. Is our kernal just not built for deep sleep (which I have seen in stock kernals for other devices) or is this a problem specific to my setup?

On 2/11 nightly
[Nook Color Android Development] smurphdogg:
are there any sort of change logs for each nightly?
[Nook Color Android Development] jamesbra:
No changelogs in alphas, check the github for what's being implemented
[Nook Color Android Development] smurphdogg:

[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
i just used rom manager app and it installed the newest cwm (3.2.0.1) on my sd card
[Nook Color Android Development] zmanw330:
Ya that definitely does not answer my question.

How do I use the nightly recovery images to boot into cwm from my sd?
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
yes i am as well, im on 2/8
[Nook Color Android Development] jamesbra:
Glad to know it isn't just me. Have you noticed any suspicous wake locks on your device?
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
Wake locks? Sorry I don't no what that is
[Nook Color Android Development] jamesbra:
Requests by apps to rouse the device from sleep for whatever reason, whether to sync gmail, look for bluetooth or manage power usage. They aren't in themselves bad, but sometimes services call wakelocks to the kernal unnecessarily, which prevents deep sleep and drains battery needlessly. Better Battery Stats is an app available for free on xda or donate from the market that logs these requests to find out what is keeping your device awake.

Edit: Also wake locks keep the device from sleeping, i.e. you don't want your phone to go to sleep while you're talking on it so there is a wake lock for that.
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
Thanks for the definitons :) its sleeps and dosent come back on at all, I wated 5 min then just turn it off and reboot, couple times when I use it for about a hour it freezes on me completly
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
I'm not trying to be unhelpful, it's just that your question doesn't make sense to me. You don't need to use the nightly recovery image for anything; the old official version of cwm works fine for installing ICS. There are tons of tutorials out there for making a bootable cwm sdcard, which I think it's what you're asking how to do - or are you asking how to run the nightlies from an sdcard? Or do you already have a nightly installed and you can't get back into recovery? I'm just not clear.
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
Sounds to me that he wants to make a bootable cwm SD card, if you want to get into cwm just hold down power and the N on the Nook until the screen turns on
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
No, it installed it to emmc, not SD card. ROM Manager does not work with SD installs. So if you use it to backup or flash new ROMs, it will do it for emmc not SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Huh? What is a nightly recovery image?
[Nook Color Android Development] Android311:
ok sorry to confuse, yes you are right, rom manager does install to emmc not the sd (my bad) I think he is refering to the nightly recovery image as the image you burn on the sd card, to make a bootable cwm on a sd card

Is anyone working on an issue with Amazon's Kindle app where it displays like it would on a phone rather than a tablet?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
There is only one thing you can do. You have to make the kindle think it is on a phone. In order to do that you have to change your lcd density. If you do that you go into phone gui for everything and lose your soft keys. I have made a patch on the ics in progress thread that sets your density to 240 and changes the gui to phone with soft keys. I use that patch and it works great with kindle. Then I later lowered the density to 180 manually and even though the gui was still phone, kindle reverted to the tablet layout. I don't know how high you have to go to get it to switch to phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jim Barr:
I notice that since flashing CM9, several apps that I expected to render in "tablet" format, instead display in "phone" format. For example, Evernote, Pocket Informatnt, etc.) One reason I went to CM9 is to take advantage of some of the tablet-formatted apps.

I flashed telephony-permissions-fix.zip after the initial CM9 flash. Could that account for this? If so, is there a way to uninstall it? Or would it require a re-flash of the OS?
[Nook Color Android Development] aeidian:
Anyone have a working GPS share app or method? I was using tethergps on cm7 and it kind of work most of the time. It seems to be incompatible with ics and the dev on that app seems to have abandoned it or doesn't care.
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
If the next couple of builds don't fix it, than you could always just have Gmail retrieve your other mail.
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
Could... but I think the point of participating in the forum is to advise what works and what does not, no? :p
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I doubt the telephony fix is the problem. You can remove it by going to /etc/permissions and deleting it (...telephony....).

Not all apps that are capable of running in tablet gui mode are capable of doing it with one app. Kindle does, but others may need to have the "tablet" version installed separate from the phone version. And maybe market is not showing that version to you.

[Nook Color Android Development] Kem-El:
I think the issues with apps displaying the phone layout instead of tablet is due to the latest fixes for hardware / opengl.

I noticed the Evernote app displaying the phone UI after nightly 02-02-2012 (or whichever one incorporated these fixes).

After looking at logcat errors and digging into the Evernote code, I noticed the screen width, calculated via the Android API, returns 4.xxx inches instead of 7.xxxx. With Evernote, this causes it to display the phone UI instead of the tablet.

I edited the Evernote APK to ignore the phone UI logic and it works great.

But based on these reports, it appears other apps are affected too.

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Is it possible to do just the opposite with another app? The Kindle app shows in tablet UI on the nook and looks awful. The margins and line spacing are very wide like it was designed for a 10" tablet. And for now there is no way to adjust those in the tablet layout. When Kindle switches to phone UI, it has a different interface and you can adjust margins and line spacing. So, my question is, can the apk be edited to tell it to ignor the tablet layout for the Nook? I run on the phone gui so it does not matter to me, but several others I'm sure would appreciate this.
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
yes, but I was just telling you a way to work around it until it is fixed.
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
Appreciate that.. but as I said in my post

Funny thing is, no one else seems to be having the problem...:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] Kem-El:
Yeah it should be possible ... I don't use the kindle app, so I haven't looked into it.

May I suggest Cool Reader? I've download and tried 'all' of the readers on the Marketplace, and I'm finding it continually to be the 'most friendly' and useful.

NOTE: I read the epub format, not the Amazon format, as I utilize the many thousand of free books... over 300 on my Nook, and I figure I've saved over $1400 just in the last year! :D jf
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Many of use have kindle accounts with numerous books in library. I am not willing to give those up to go to a different reader. Plus kindle lets you sync between devices which is a cool feature.
[Nook Color Android Development] jlmelancon:
Same here. I have some rather pricey books in Kindle format and would like to continue to use them. I know the Kindle app runs in tablet more while I have CM7 on my Nook Color, but it doesn't in CM9.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
The Kindle app now supports ebooks from your local library and I switched to it since other apps for that require Adobe authentication, which is a pain to use and only allows a few devices (which I used up switching from stock to CM7 to CM9). I don't have any issues using the Kindle app as it currently exists.

Hi

This is great!

The market crashes on the newest (20120214) nightly, though. It tries to start then vanishes.

Or am I missing something?

Installed using clockwork 3.2.0.1.
[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
first time you ran the market on a new ICS/CM9 install?

if so, i have had that happen before b/c it was trying to load-up the agree/disagree for the licensing the first couple of times. whether it was before or after i allowed it to login via my google account information, that i cannot remember.
[Nook Color Android Development] mobliefranz:
I did an update install (CM 7.2), so the account was already set up.

It happens after more than a dozen startups and force stop/clear data does not help. So I tried uninstalling updates, which removed the market app completely...

I will try doing a fresh install of ICS, see if it works then.

I sent you a private message earlier, but in case anyone else has this problem, i think i had this problem and fixed it by wiping the data and memory for the email app in an app manager. After that, i ran the app and put my information back in and it worked fine ever since. There seems to be some problem with the app's data going from cm7 to cm9. Originally i was using titanium to re-install the old email apk and that worked also, but didn't have the nice new interface.

I actually do use Cool Reader as my primary app, it is BY FAR the best reader app I've used. Like others said, though, I have a few hundred purchased Kindle books that I haven't been able to read since my CM9 upgrade. Cool Reader does read non-DRM mobi files, but it seems to be less than perfect for some reason.

My CM7 setup somehow failed to boot and I adventurously flashed CM9 on top of it without wiping data.

Surprisingly, it works fairly well. The latest 14-Feb build is, IMO, as smooth as CM7.

Thanks to fattire, dalingrin, and everyone else who contributed.

The new interface does need a few moments to get used to; And I still don't know how to get my wallpaper displayed like before; File Manager wasn't included by default but it's just a few clicks away on the Market; The Wi-Fi sometimes cannot auto-connect when waking up from sleep and needs to be turned off and on; Wish UMS (USB Mass Storage) class will be implemented later since most Windows sync utilities don't support MTP.

Overall, it's good enough to be a daily driver for me.

Thanks again.

His thread can be found here In the Epic 4G forums http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346680 This is to be copied into the sysctl.conf file located in /system/etc/.

net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1

The first 4 tests in the attachment were prior to this tweak.

The next set of tweaks is courtesy of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342047&page=439.

In Rom Toolbox (Note: to make changes using ROM Toolbox, you will need to purchase the pro version) I also changed some other settings as follows:

Under Kernel Tweaks, sysctl Conf:

Min Free: 4096

Dirty Ratio: 90

Background Ratio: 70

VFS Cache: 1

Oom Kill is checked

Under build.prop tweaks:

LCD: 240 (this is not used for the NC)

Ring Delay: 0 (this is not used for the NC)

VM Heap: 32m

Scan Interval: 300

Max Events: 150 (this is not used for the NC)

Under Auto Memory Manager:

Foreground: 6 MB

Visible: 8 MB

Secondary: 16 MB

Hidden: 30MB

Content: 40 MB

Empty: 50 MB

SD Boost value is at 4096 kb

And the changes to build.prop that I got from Biggoron:

Change:

davlik.vm.heapsize=92m (should originally be 32m)

Add: (these do not exist and must be manually added)

davlik.vm.heapstartsize=5m

davlik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=32m (thanks Bigoron)

I take NO credit for these tweaks, and no responsibility if it melts your NC! But I have found these tweaks to bring a HUGE improvement to my NC.

Also, my performance settings are:

Governor: InteractiveX

CPU Steps: 300, 600, 825, 1100, 1300

All at stock voltages.

Good luck and let me know any results!

On the quoted text of code to enter onto the sysctl.conf, the last line looks like it is cut out. I have had this happen to me in a couple threads where members use that quote format to present code. The XDA forum code obviuisly has a bug or two in this feature. Look that over and maybe edit the post. Might help the boot loops, maybe.

When I first installed Nightly 109 I received A boot loop. The instructions I followed said nothing of wiping Dalvik Cache.

After booting into Recovery I did that and rebooted. Took forever to reboot. Basically I let the device sit there for about 10 minutes. When I came back I was in!

Not the most responsive thing though. Cranked up the cpu to 1200mhz and that helped a little but still not as good as CM7.

Alright, so instead, i just downloaded the newest nightly and made all the fixes I could before flashing, ie., I added the telephony fix & the bootani fix found earlier in this thread, and the build.prop and sysctl.conf tweaks that adamdelozier suggested to the update.zip itself.

The other tweaks adamdelozier suggested I did in RomToolbox before, and the settings remained after flashing the new nightly...I gotta say, it has never been this smooth
