Or a flash drive. Which is a common practice.

Also, if you don't want to mess with your stock install or cm7 it makes sense.

Personally I just back up my cm7 and switch back and forth.

I'm on 118 with no new problems. Smooth and very usable. I can't wait for the video fix (if everything else is already this good)!

Samiam,

Thanks for prepping an upated version of Verygreens installer. However. I'm unable to uncompress the archive. Tried it with gunzip through terminal as well as just using the standard osx unarchive tool. Could you take a look at it?

Thanks,

Racks

Edit: I just removed the .gz extension. Seems like there was no compression at all. I then was able to mount the .img file.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

Samiam,

You could also zero out the unused space in the .img file. So compression will bring it down to 7.9mb and it will extract to about 117mb. I've done so. So if you want me to send you the compressed .img let me know.

Thanks,

Racks

I keep several movies on my Nook for my son to watch, and they play fine in VPlayer on ICS.
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Because the speed difference is just about nil. It's certainly not noticeable since the internal memory is essentially an SD card anyway. Running on SD means you can swap versions quickly and still leave the Nook factory. My son is running eMMC and I am running SD and we can't see any difference.

I am not seeing any market or touchscreen issues once I switched to the faster card (I knew better but still started with a crappy Patriot.)

lol well i was looking for a little more instructions then that :D

ive on linux. whats the easiest route? can i just put this on my sdcard and upgrade from recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
Yes indeed, I'm a student at Cleveland State University. A bunch of people on here seem to be Cleveland-area also -- neat to see so much local community! :)

Racks11479 sent me a fixed version of the install image, so in a couple minutes I'll have that replaced and the issue with extraction should be fixed.

You don't need to erase the sd card, using the dd command will do that -- you can just dd the new image to your card using Verygreen's original instructions from his thread, then drop the ICS zip you want to use onto it.

hey, so as a quick summary, what working and what dosent so far, im thinking of putting this on my nook and giving it to my Mom, but it needs certian features, what are the issues?
[Nook Color Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
Not to be sarcastic but - quick answer. Read the OP of this thread and the development thread and you'll find the answer.

Nothing gained without some effort is really worth gaining at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] Deaks2:
Same issue here. I had a similar issue with CM7 if I left Wifi on when the screen is off. By default this is the setting in CM9. I tried waking it up this morning with the wifi off when screen off setting checked, but it was also not working :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Mine did the same overnight but I lost almost no battery charge. So it's stopping all processing in total. It's not just the screen being off.

Idk if it's because I have a mac, but I had to download an android file transfer program to use MTP. USB mass storage doesnt work and I have debugging enabled, but the MTP should be fine to use, thanks.

Also I'm on the 18 one because I read the 19 nightly has a wake issue. Maybe I'll try to wipe and flash again one day.

You can extract it from the ROM zip and install it. Or reflash the zip over itself. It may still be in the system apps folder depending.

The bootanimation fix is not technically "needed" at all. It just fills the screen properly until there is an official release of CM9. The current animation is a placeholder. At that point, I'm going to ask if they can provide a properly rotated version for the NC.

[Nook Color Android Development] michaelg1030:
I thought the same when I first installed it, but its set to conservative governor by default. Change it to interactiveX and you should se a dramatic result. Doesn't seem any less responsive than CM7 to me.
[Nook Color Android Development] aeidian:
Someone already replied to you, but unless you're coming from another rom or flashing from the stock firmware, you should be able to get away with "format cache partition" and wiping the dalvik cache. Some say that formatting the cache partition also wipes out the dalvik, so that's a redundancy to go and wipe the dalvik. I look at it like how we were taught to use a calculator in 2 grade, you hit the clear button a few times just to make sure the numbers are wiped out. Formatting the system and factory reseting will lose all your apps and your settings, which I'm told is not necessary (and a big pain the ass to setup each time), if you're going from nightly to nightly on the same rom. Of course if you run into problems, just go back into CWM and do a full wipe. I've flashed 2 nightlies so far and about to do a 3rd and I've yet to run into an issue just doing wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.

I'm thinking that ever since HC the "menu" option in the softkeys is not there any more. You can get to the settings from the clock area pop-up. The softkeys i have are the back, home and running programs keys. The three-dot "menu" softkey will only show up while in a program that needs a menu key to evoke a menu.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
I may have just figured out at least for me a fix (or the reason why it was happening) for the Deep Sleep issue. In some of the earlier nightlies a long press on the back arrow would show "Application Killed". I saw that had not been enabled in the more recent builds so I enabled it. I started having the deep sleep issue again. Once I disabled it the deep sleep issue went away at least for now.
[Nook Color Android Development] jameshmiller:
After noticing a quicker battery drain than CM7. I opened up CPU SPY and noticed that I am not getting any deep sleep. I am running at 1.1GHz ondemand and wifi set to never during sleep. I also have to manually turn wifi off and back on to connect to a network after the screen is turned on. Other than this, This ROM is really nice. Great job by Google and the Devs. Anyone else having this?

Edit - After reboot I am deep sleeping zzz........

but I still have to manually cut wifi off then back on to connect.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I just downloaded the latest nightly and when I connected the NC to my Mac, the Android File Transfer program started up but did not show any files on the SD card (I checked eMMC and it didn't show any files there either). I copied the file to the SD card and it showed on the display. I checked with Root Explorer and all the files show up.

Weird....
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Since you installed to SD, things are a little different. For one, you have a very special recovery that can only be used for a few things. It has no menu and just looks for things to flash in the "boot" partition. It can flash a new ROM, but only if you put it in the "boot" partition. It can flash gapps, but only if named properly and put in boot. That's about it. It cannot be used for things like wiping cache or backing up your system.

One easy way to get into SD recovery is to hold the "n" button once booting starts. Keep holding it until the boot menu comes up. Then you can select how to finish booting. You can boot into emmc (both normal and recovery) or SD (also normal or recovery). If you select the emmc recovery, whatever you do with it happens to emmc, not your SD installation. If you select SD recovery, the special recovery comes up and the little penguin shows up followed by a bunch of text flowing by. It is looking for either a ROM or gapps to flash to SD. Ordinarily you cannot flash other things like boot animation zips with the SD recovery. It then automatically turns the power off.

Edit: The SD recovery can flash other zips if named "update-" and the zips are coded correctly. It sometimes errors out if they are not.
[Nook Color Android Development] Techienana:
I have installed SlideIt trial and have been giving it a whirl. It does fit the screen but since I am still in the adjustment period I will reserve my opinion.
[Nook Color Android Development] MrPib:
That is a fantastic analogy! (And I always hit AC 2 or three times, now that I think about it!)
[Nook Color Android Development] Techienana:
The same thing happened to me on my Windows computer. I discovered that if I closed all other programs and committed all resources to transferring files that everything showed up fine. I generally like to multitask but it seems that that's not an option when the NC is connected now.

[Nook Color Android Development] EnTg888:
Yeah, I haven't had any sleep without turning off wifi. Even if you set the wifi policy to turn off during sleep, it won't sleep, you have to explicitly turn it off.

Warez is bad

But for real. My 2¢...

A) the fact many of the more active developers on this site (you know, the people hard at work porting ICS to our E-READER(!) (FOR FREE!!!) actively make their living off of the legitimate sale of apps like the one posted.

B) look no further than locked bootloaders and lawsuits levied simply for reporting the existance of something like Carrier IQ. the manufacturers and phone companies are still nervous about projects like this one. The last thing we need is to start confirming their suspicions that we are pirates who use independent Rom to skirt their revenue streams.

And most importantly

C) spending a couple hundred bucks on a luxury item like a tablet or smart phone, and then ripping off hard-working developers is just straight weak.

I am not saying that anyone here is necessarily in that last category, from what I understand there are IMEI issues that make purchasing swype in particular somewhat confusing.

But still, Warez is bad. The above are three of MY reasons why.

As for Swype, if the nook's lack of an IMEI is still the reason it is unable to be bought, search the development thread. There is an IMEI spoofer, which while not a perfect solution, at least allows for an above board purchase of the software.
