Swype sent out an announcement over the holidays that they were targeting an ICS release by the end of January. So hopefully we will be seeing something shortly .

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Ummm...and one more reason...

D) Malware...

Just for giggles I just ran that posted app through my not-so-intense virus sniffing routine. That PIRATED (remember, Swype themselves were not involved. Important) is the most dangerous thing you can have on your device. It is sending your info (read: keystrokes, almost definitely) to several destinations, including at least one HTTP address posing as a fake theatre ticketing site (with no tickets for sale).

I just thought I'd check, and we had a winner.

If you used that app, I would reccomend changing some passwords, at the very very minimum.

Do a DNS search on that last set of packets, 50.17.235.220, at the very best, is completely bogus.

One note on the IMEI spoof. As bad as it sounds, the IMEI generator is actually not meant to be used as a scam or trick. Some apps require IMEI numbers for purchasing verification, and the nook does not have one natively. An XDA member wrote a program (script? I haven't ran it or looked too closely at it myself) which simply embedded a somewhat random number on your device to enable members to buy any app which required one. There was some pushback from a couple devs, if I remember correctly, seeing as the program did sort of provide a work-around for thwir purchase verification methods, but the idea was to enable nook users to legitimately purchase software they were unable to previously.

I should have a little clearer about that. Sorry.
[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
Thanks. Fat tires github doesn't seem to show what is being addressed in each nightly.

Hopefully a fix for wifi and deep sleep is in the near future, really not wanting to be flashing the nightlies blind.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You should note that these "nightlies" are not official nightlies. They are just builds that Sam graciously puts up every night for us users. That is why there is no official change log listing what is different. The only way to see what is different is to look at what fattire posted. Look and see what was merged that day.
[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
This what I am having trouble finding. Is

fattire's posts on his github ( doesn't seem very up to date) or does he post his changes in 1 of these 2 ICS threads?

I'm guessing fat tires changes are mixed in with all the other posts on one of these threads.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
No. Very first link on the first page here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1370873

[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
Thanks I got that. What I am saying is though the last entries on that site were Jan 18th and Jan 23, but the nightlies come out every night. Something must be changing within these and I can't find exactly where it says what is being worked on.

Its really not a big deal anymore. I'll just continue to use my current nightly, as it is very functional, and wait til I read that the wifi/deep sleep issue has been fixed.

Again, thanks for trying to help point me in the right direction.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
The problem is you are only looking at fattires github. There is another github for CM. Both are referenced by fattires posts above. (look here again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21585778). His github has only the changes that he or dalingrin have made specifically for nook color. The CM github shows all the changes, whether they are specific for nook color or not. Many non-specific changes do effect our device though. Like changes to the interface. Those are the bulk of how the nightlies change. So, if you want to see the total amount of changes in a specific nightly, look at both githubs.

BTW, I'm sure why there are not many recent changes to fattires github is because he is working very hard with a team of devs trying to get CM9 working on the Nook Tablet. He probably has not made many changes to nook color lately.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
A lot of changes are coming through from the main Cyanogen repository, what people usually call "upstream". You can see changes here. Check out the categories in the top left; "open" is submitted changes that haven't been approved yet and "merged" is included changes. fattire's repository is a large and extensive set of patches that are applied on top of the main CM code and that are specific to this device. At some point his code will all get merged upstream

edit: missed it by that much. Maybe I'll be faster next time ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
Haha, thanks that clears it up for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Also, to be clear -- a nightly build will be uploaded whether there has been a single change made or not. It's perfectly possible (and frankly pretty likely) that there will be days where one nightly is no different than the one before it, just rebuilt.

Finally was able to get a NC again, so I'm back in the game, finally! Cannot wait to see ICS on this thing, kudo's to all the devs, yall are amazing. Been about 130 nightlies since I sold my NC, so we'll see how long it takes me to get back into the swing of things again! Anyone have anymore screens of ICS on it, or just the ones in the OP?
[Nook Color Android Development] Jainyankee1993:
I'm really loving this rom however how come a lot of tablet compatible apps are shown as incompatible to our ncs
[Nook Color Android Development] rgerrans:
I think I might be having some flash issues. I flashed the last two nightlies but both are showing 1/19 build dates. Can anyone verify for me if they are seeing newer build dates.
[Nook Color Android Development] skippy214:
hey mine still sayas the 19th and im on the latest nightly.

sp youre probably good
[Nook Color Android Development] generalpelmen:
Hey guys noob question but where can I see the changelog per nightly or if there is one? Or per 10 nightlies or just any change log.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
There is not one. Read back about 10 posts or so, there was a long discussion on this.

Missing home/back on EMMC install?

Am I the only one having this problem? When I install a samiam nightly on SD, it looks great. When I install it on emmc, I don't get the home & back buttons.

My install procedure:

Boot recovery.

Clear cache & dalvik cache.

Format /system.

Install OS zip.

Install gapps-noinit.

Install telephony-permissions.

Install fix-bootanimation.

My apps are there, since I don't clear /data, but not having back really crimps things.

Are people installing a samiam nightly on top of a CM7 and retaining their apps and such?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] sextonma:
I flashed last night's nightly expecting to see an extended power menu. Didn't. Settings About shows 1/19. The last few nightly zips look like they're exactly the same size. I think Samiam needs to check his checkout procedure.
[Nook Color Android Development] aaraya1516:
unzip files

When unzipping proprietary files I noticed there are plenty that are not found to due a series of numbers at the end. for example, this file: libsrv_um.so.1.1.16.4061 was not found, but this: libsrv_um.so was there. I modified the unzip_files.sh (or whatever it was called) to unzip the files, but has anybody else noticed that or figured out what those files do? I think they are for graphics, but not sure.

[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Yeah this should be a neat thing. Everyone say "thank you, keyodi" (but not necessarily in this thread :) ) Also hacdan was involved w/this too so thank him as well :)

(We're talking btw about the restart menu with more options in it.)
[Nook Color Android Development] sextonma:
Ah yes. I jumped the gun. Curious about the 1/19 build date, though.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Nope, checked the logs and my builds are building just fine. Apparently the build.prop isn't regenerated unless you do a totally clean build, so that 1/19 date is just the last time I cleared everything out and built from scratch (to fix that couple of days where the nightlies were broken).
[Nook Color Android Development] sextonma:
Thanks. Sorry for the false alarm. I do see emmc can be unmounted, so changes are being picked up. I'll go back to lurking now.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Hey, it's important that someone mentions it if they think they found a bug, whether it turns out to be true or not. That's how we learn about how things work!
[Nook Color Android Development] rgerrans:
Thanks for checking and making sure we are all still using the right builds. Appreciate you setting these up for us.
[Nook Color Android Development] skippy214:
I can say I've been running the 20120122 nightly and still getting the sleep of death.
[Nook Color Android Development] trsanning:
Just got it on the 23 build as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
CM9 is running basically the same kernel and wifi module as CM7. So unless fattire modded the kernel for SOD, it probably does have a problem. I had been running CM9 with the wifi set to turn off with the screen. I got tired of having to toggle it off and back on after the screen came on so I set the wifi to never sleep. I got an SOD the first night. I now am using the wifi module that was modified the prevent SODs for CM7 and have had none since I put it on. It works just fine on CM9.

BTW, if anyone wants the install zip for the modded wifi kernel module, you can get it here
[Nook Color Android Development] greiland:
Any way to know which nightly I have installed then? Been flashing a lot and lost track of which version I'm on.

---------- Post added 25th January 2012 at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was 24th January 2012 at 11:55 PM ----------

That's interesting. I was getting the SOD quite often on Sneakpeak 1 and 2. Now that I've installed a nightly (I believe I'm on 118 or 119), I don't think I've gotten it at all! I've been running it for 4 or 5 days. I also installed the misc. apps here (gapps, fix-bootanimation, telephony). Not sure what would have caused the SODs to stop, but I'm happy. Now I'm afraid to update to a new nightly..don't want that SOB SOD back!

Also, just wanted to report that I installed Nook Tweaks and enabled USB Host and my regular Dell keyboard works like a dream using a micro usb adapter. Man it sure is a lot faster typing on a PC keyboard :-)
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I think you could look with root explorer at your /system and look at the date of the build.prop file. It probably will be dated the day you flashed.

[Nook Color Android Development] greiland:
Won't that just tell me which day I flashed, but not which version? I don't always flash on the same day a version comes out, and sometimes I'll go back to a previous version if I'm having problems with the current one.

NC ICS CM9 - It ROCKS!

Hello and thank you all (devs and non-devs) for posting this amazing rom, yet again!

I've installed the nightly #23 on a freshly backed up and clean Nook color.

It works like a charm... :)

I do confirm the sleep of death issue for the device and the live wallpaper disappearance (occurred once on 2 attempts).

GApps, so far, have proven to be reliable, no bugs encountered...

I do find it slightly less responsive than CM7 build #253, but it's still in development, so i'll just zip it for now!

I'll keep you guys posted once I stumble on anything else.

sdcard install

So I have been a user of CM7 via Verygreen install to sdcard. I tried ICS last night and when it boots it gets stuck in loop. I used the installer from the download section here, and the latest nightly. Any suggestions? I wiped SDCARD a couple of times to make sure nothing left behind etc, just keeps looping on boot never gets to ICS
[Nook Color Android Development] rampart51:
Which nightly did you use? IF you used 0124, try 0123. I had a problem with 0124 this morning. See my post above.
[Nook Color Android Development] dc52317:
OK I will give that a try and see if that corrects the problem.

[Nook Color Android Development] Harlley Sathler:
Hi,

Just one doubt: I read on the dev post, if I remembering, that ICS uses a different kernel than Ginger Bread.

I, personaly don't tried this, but, it works fine with ICS? (I'm curious about to try out)
[Nook Color Android Development] SeaFractor:
Truely amazing when you consider it's even without 2D acceleration support. Once the ICS OMAP3 driver is finally released from any OMAP3 oem providers, it'll be even more astounding.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
It uses the same version kernel. That's why there are some limitations in this version of ics. It really needs a new version kernel but there is not one. So the wifi patch works.
[Nook Color Android Development] tonyp:
Do you know any other device which does use OMAP3 and will bring out ICS?
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 has a nearly identical CPU/GPU to the Nook Color and it just came out in the fall, but it doesn't seem that Lenovo really cares about updating that tablet beyond GB since it's such a budget oriented model
[Nook Color Android Development] Harlley Sathler:
Ok! Understood it. Thank you for clarifying me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Atook:
How can we take screenshots on the nightly builds, is there a built in key combo that I'm not seeing?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Just hold the power key and a menu pops up. But I think that is only on the most recent nightlies.
[Nook Color Android Development] SeaFractor:
Yes, that would be the nightly from the 24th according to: https://github.com/fat-tire/android_device_bn_encore/commits/ics

Actually I just tried the latest nightly and it does not yet include that change. Soon though!
[Nook Color Android Development] gramenz:
Anyone else having problems with signing into the Facebook app on the latest build? Also, is the issue with Netflix on their side or ours? I can get logged in, pick a movie, but it freezes up after that. Thanks guys!!

From SD card

This looks great. I've installed it and run from the SD card, but I have not had any luck installing gapps...

I used the instructions for installing from SD card and it works. However, after putting that generic img file on the SD card, there is no room for the gapps zip file to fit at the same time.

If I install ICS onto the SD card successfully, I can't get into the CWM recovery to flash a zip file with the gapps. Is that making sense?

Am I missing something?
[Nook Color Android Development] dalkor:
I was aware that some features are not implemented and I expected, that ICS will boot, show fancy desktop and crush, but instead it worked pretty fine; I watched youtube videos, played 3d games, browsed the web and didn't notice any significant problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Thanks. This is a great service for those of us who don't have a working build environment.

One suggestion--you might consider adding carriage returns to the readme.txt file. Each sentence shows up on a single (long) line.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobshute:
Thanks to all for thier hard work putting this together. I have ICS running on my Vibrant and love it fast and smooth.

I did a sd install using verygreen's method. flshed sneekpeek1, and 2. and a couple of the nightlies ('07, '10). I found a problem on my nook in that the cpu was always pegged to the maximum mhz and would never step down to a lower mhz. This caused significant lag, reboots, sod etc. It happened on sneekpeeak2 and all the nightlies. I couldn't get my Win7 pc to load the proper drivers so I couldn't look at ddms for the logs.

If it's known what might cause this I would love to find out. Thank you.

btw the gapps I used did not have onetimeinitializer.apk in it.
[Nook Color Android Development] barakisbrown:
I would wipe it and then install this one because i have it running with so far no issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] fahadayaz:
Touch recovery?

I'm just wondering if the night CWMs are of the touch variety? ;)

Also, we can't use it to install stock, I believe, but CM7/CM9 are okay?
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
I just want to say thank you. This is quite nice. It is pretty smooth on verygreen's sd install.

~Leko

P.S. stupid noob question, does anyone know where the changelog is so I can decide when to reflash?
[Nook Color Android Development] gbohm:
get alogcat from the market
[Nook Color Android Development] pbot:
If you look towards the end of verygreens thread, you will see the script edits you need to make to fix the bootloops. The edits remove linking the font and retouch
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
For those who are as slow as I am of late, if you want to backup an install on the sd card before flashing an update, just pull the sd card from the nook and image it on your computer using a terminal or disk imaging program.

~Leko
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Alright, I'll add it back into the gapps. I don't know why it's reporting incompatable from the market.

EDIT: New zip posted. You're welcome to redownload it and see if youtube works correctly.

I don't have a changelog since I'm not the one actually making changes to the source. If I know of anything major that changes I'll post about it, but it's generally just small incremental changes that come either from fattire's github or the cyanogenmod one, so you could keep an eye on those if you're really interested.

To be perfectly honest I'm not even using one of the experimental recovery builds. I don't see a reason to when the regular CWM works just as well. I just thought I'd make them available in case anyone else wanted to -- but yes, to my understanding they work for flashing CM roms but not the stock software. I think Fattire posted slightly more info in the development thread, but you'd have to find it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Whoops. Double post.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
I didn't even think enough was being added to warrant nightly builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] sdlopez83:
Anyone getting a wifi issue.when I try to connect to internet connections on routers it never connects. Just saves but can't connect for some reason.

Could I have an outdated kernel. But all I did was flash the zip, telephony, gapps. Im sure the correct kernel came with the rom. 2.6.32.9 fatties.

Sorry if this is noob, I picked up the nook this morning.
[Nook Color Android Development] stewtang:
I have the same problem. I reset my router and it connected immediately. This is a weird issue since i have other devices that stay connected on the same router and toggling wifi on/off on the nook doesn't work. I have reproduced this a few times now.

No dice, I also reflashed. Wont connect. Wont connect to my neighbors either. (No password)
[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:

[Nook Color Android Development] barakisbrown:
WIFI

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am using one of Sam builds plus the gapps and I have not issue with the wifi not connecting. I use a clearspot as my router and I connect with no problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Arguably there probably isn't. There's not much change from day to day. I just built the script as something to do, and figured I'd share them since it's no extra work. I don't intend to reflash every day myself -- but by building every night, anytime someone new wants to give it a whirl there'll always be a current zip for them to use.

EDIT: There's some discussion of the wifi problem over in the dev thread. I personally haven't experienced it... One guy mentioned he fixed it by putting his router into G-Only mode. I'd suggest that if any of you wants to be helpful in diagnosing the problem you could run the adb logcat command to capture the system log while you try to connect -- Fattire recently posted a really good explanation of logcat over in the development thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
I installed this this morning most everything seemed to be working. I shut it down and did a cold boot. it boots up but after the boot most apps quit functioning. I went into recovery using a boot sdcard I have and wiped everything boot, system, etc. Did a re-install and same thing happened everything works fine until I shut it completely down and restart.

[Nook Color Android Development] xxsxx:
Press and hold volume down and power at the same time. It takes a second or two, but if you do it right, it takes a screenshot. Standard ICS.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
After you have installed ics and put the gapps zip on the boot partition, boot and hold the "n" button until the boot menu comes up. Then select "SD" and "recovery" and tell it to finish booting. It will boot into the penguin recovery and install gapps.

Edit: Maybe an even more straightforward way is after booting into ics, press and hold the power button, choose reboot followed by recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] sljwampa:
I have 2 questions, First is I have CM7 installed on my emmc and CM9 booting on an SD card using verygreens install method. So how do I wipe the cache and davlik without disrupting the CM7. I have a boot SD that was for the CM7 install that does the recovery menu but that seems to affect the CM7?

2nd. Also if I format and wipe the SD and start over is there anything that needs to be done?

Thanks,
