Here's a quick question for people.

To speed things up a little I could forgo makig an update.zip and literally just upload an archive which you unarchive into your sdcard /clockworkmod/backup folder and restore as if you'd backed up yourself. much quicker and easier for us and you get your rom that little bit quicker.

What does everyone think ?

I can't make this post a question because it's half way through a thread but I'd prefer not to have a stream of yes or no answers posts either, so maybe click thanks or something if you'd be happy for me to do that so you get your rom faster?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] strictlyrude27:
If you do that, one of us can build the update-zip later. I'll do it at the end of this weekend if nobody else has done it by then.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Sounds fair :)

I'm happy to do it if others are, running out of steam quietly, it was goig to be a project for a few weeks or even a month or two and turned into a slog for a few days instead lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] little8020:
I agree go ahead and release what you can now and do the ziplater. Just make sure you have very detailed instructions
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
I'm with stricklyrude here. You've been working like a machine Celtic. Let's beta this thing and pass on the torch ;)

Thanks for being willing to pitch in!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
the restore method is extremely simple to be honest. Instruction would litterally read,

Download

unzip downloaded archive into sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

In CWM go to restore and pic the one you just unzipped

Sit back and wait for your new Nook :)

You will loose everything in you tablet because the os would crash if we left all the old stuff there so make sure you BACKUP!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] little8020:
Well you got the instructions so post the file :-)

If you choose that it's the best option
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Not quite ready yet but I would imagine most of you will wake up in the morning and the stuff will be there for you all ;) unless of course you get up at silly o'clock to check lol

I'll be posting it up when I get up and do a few last checks tomororw. Bearing in mind I'm in the UK I get up before you :)

So night all and as long as everyone is happy to have the restore version you'll have it nice and early tomorrow :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
You will also have to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and clear Davlink Cache from CWM or it won't boot. Another good reason to backup! But full instructions coming very soon......
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Easy guys. The carrot dangling isn't intentional. Celtic is uploading files but it will take a while. He is going to crash for the night (its after 3 am his time and he has pulled 4 all nighters this week with me to get here).

Files coming we promise. Documentation has to be square too to minimize issues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] n1n00b:
Hey Celtic,

I'm sure that you've already thought of this, but please, for the love of all that is holy, make sure that all your personal information is wiped from that backup before you upload it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Swiissjokr:
can someone help me.I getta fail to back up "image /data", what's that about?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DarkDvr:
Im gonna swim against the current here and briefly ask people to stop beating on people who are anxious to get CM7 on NT.

Although beating on people who ask for ETAs has been somewhat of a favorite passtime for a lot of users here... let's avoid growing your ego by being a police volunteer. There are moderators for that, if it gets out of hand.

Understand that people can't wait to see this on their NT, and be gentle. As long as they are respectful to the devs time and effort, I see nothing wrong in asking for ETA, myself.

Im a developer myself, that's what I do for a living (sadly, not in Android field), and I was never offended by people asking me for an ETA. If anything, it shows me how interested people are in what I do.

Anyway, those are my throughts.

Not gonna polute the thread =)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Good morning everyone!!!

Thanks strictlyrude, thank you for the apology too ;)

It's now 12:23 here and I've been up about an hour (yes I know I had a lie in!!!!!) I've been doing some final testing and I've just created the files to upload for everyone.

I'll be posting up a new ROM thread soon, I'll pop a little note in this thread for everyone to know :)

Thanks for your patience people, it's been a long haul but we're finally there.

Team-B Nook Tablet Beta is on it's way to the download server!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
You're as bad as me! I did 3 nights solid of being awake long after my wife had already got up to go to work the following day lol

Your patience will be rewarded shortly :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Too bad I don't know much past flashing things in cwm and basic terminal commands.

I do love the early morning question from others in the house, "Are you still up doing phone stuff?" :D

Thanks for all of your hard work though. Thanks to everyone else as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
As I'm sure many have already spotted

you can get the rom here

Thanks for all your support this last week :)

Thread Cleaned​

Once again i have been forced to clean this thread. I have been brutal, so dont be offended if your post got deleted. I just deleted all off topic/thanks posts. I deleted 65 posts, which is far to many.

Please keep things on topic and we have a thanks button, so there is no need for thank you posts. Also dont keep bothering the devs for ETA's. It will be ready when its ready. Just appreciate there hard work​
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Good call, maybe we can leverage from them. I think I'm just missing a configuation setting in my kernel build but everything else seemed to be working so I'm not too worried about fixing it right away. Would rather get CM7 to boot ;)

EDIT:

Well more progress to report this morning! I've finally got a CM7 boot screen! I'm stuck in a bootloop but we are really close now!

Turns out my permissions were all jacked up on my system partition and it was refusing to allow the kernel to load divers. I've jacked with files so trying to get a good boot that I'm not even sure what I have right now, so I'll go back to square one and hopefully see a full boot :D[/QUOTE]

You really are on a mission aren't you! When I get home this evening I'll catch up with you and hopefully get involved. Two heads better than one as they say, even if my head is a little lacking on the subject!

I'll pm you later or if youre on google pm me you address so I can add you to mine please
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Logcat captured! It is a little big to post here so the link is below:

http://www.mediafire.com/?3s194uo9uau2jm0

Looks like it is mainly permission errors. Looking into that now. Need to take a break to hang out with the wife before she smashes my Nook LoL!

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

PM sent. Hopefully you, Indirect, and I can g-talk this evening.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

EDIT: IT BOOTS!!!!!!

We finally have a booting CM7 image!

I had to wipe my data, cache, and davlink and the bootloop went away!

There is still a lot of work to be done but we are well on the way! I'll be updating my post on Page 1 later today for anyone who wants to mess around with this.

Things I noted are not working right out of the gate:

-Touchscreen works but seems to be reversed

-Wifi not working

-Can't verify but sound doesn't seem to work

-The hard keys do not work (I think this is an easy fix)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
I wish I knew how to install uboot into EMMC, then I could just not have to worry about booting from sd.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Issues in the logcat:

W/AudioHardwareInterface( 1180): Using stubbed audio hardware. No sound will be produced.

^ no audio

E/libEGL ( 1261): eglSetSwapRectangleANDROID:1909 error 3008 (EGL_BAD_DISPLAY)

^borked touchscreen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I've just decided its time to unpack the new one I have and start getting involved. If I kill it I'm sure it. An be recovered now so I think it's a good time to open it.

Still out with the wife but I'll be home in a few hours so I'll be with you then :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Little update on the OP for you all ;)

It's all good news!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] howcansheslap:
Celtic clearly didn't do any work on this other than start the thread. I think you should mention that on the OP. Gonce is the only one who deserves credit and it looks like he didn't need any help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Thanks for your comments. I have said that Goncezilla made huge progress on his own and did most of the leg work, he's also posted himself saying what he'd done so I take absolutely no credit for any of that, ALthough saying I've done absolutely no work is a little unfair, I'm the one tahts fixed the touch screen issue when I started to work on it and Gonc had got stuck, I only actually started this evening and I've been working all night with him, it's now 5:04am here in UK and I've been on it since about 4pm yesterday, we have an almost fully functional rom between us now, auto rotation is now working, touch screen works perfectly, our big problem at the moment is the wifi, we just can't get it going :(

We're still on it though. So thanks again for your input, check your facts first please, it's a joint effort but Gonc did a lot of the initial legwork and when we release only his name will go to it as far as I'm concerned ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Let me just say that Celtic has definitely been a big help in this process. We have been working together for a while now to get a working Alpha to everyone. He has actually fixed a lot of the issues I had with the build (like the touchscreen).

He has also volunteered to OP this forum, and that is no easy task. Nothing here is accomplished by any one person, please remember that in future posts.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Another little update, it's now 8:05am and I've been all night trying to get things finished on this rom. Just got the sound working but I'm still struggling with the wifi :(

It's getting close now though!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
I'll work on getting wifi.

*sorry for not working earlier, I was on a date.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
So I hear ;) Hope it went well :)

I'm online still if you want anything I already have :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Awesome! Celtic and I have been inching closer but not quite there any help is appreciated.

I think the issue is in the kernel, but haven't quite isolated it. I have a new boot.img that has the activated wifi flags in the kernel but still no luck. I shoot it your way.

Off to work, I'll keep up with the threads but no dev until i get home :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
All I need is someone who has compiled the kernel to give me a wireless driver and then I can have wifi working.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Damnit I have all those files at home! Lol.

I'm office bound and away from them for another 9 hours :(

I'll send you the whole freakin build folder when I get home!

EDIT 4: In the mean time I'm building a todo list to capture the things that still need work:

1. Fix Sound (think we just need to copy the stock alsa.conf stuff over) - Done! Thanks Celtic!

2. Fix Sleep of Death/No Wake issue (no clue but think it may be Wifi related)

3. Fix ADB (not responding to all commands, think we need to copy stock adb scripts over)

4. Fix Superuser (crashes and not allowing root to other apps; think we need to replace with the one from snowball mod) - Done! Thanks Indirect!

5. Clear BootCnt and BCB (I have the script and can fix this; was waiting on wifi first)

6. Fix Android 4.0.3 Reference - Done! Thanks Indirect

7. Fix Android Market - Done! Thanks Indirect
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
What's wrong (from my first analysis):

Wifi (obviously)

SoD(obviously)

Gapps dont work (market wont fire up for me, even without wifi.)

su won't get called properly from terminal emulator

and that's all I have found so far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Another 9 Hours!!!! your working day is longer than mine

EDIT: In the mean time I'm building a todo list to capture the things that still need work:

1. Fix Sound (think we just need to copy the stock alsa.conf stuff over) Already fixed although for some reason on your latest build my fix doesn’t work buut I'll send you my latest build and it all works nice on tehre so I'll put your latest kernel with my latest build and send it over latest

2. Fix Sleep of Death/No Wake issue (no clue but think it may be Wifi related) its' the most viscious SOD I've ever come across! looing into it

3. Fix ADB (not responding to all commands, think we need to copy stock adb scripts over) had it all sorte don one of my builds and forgot to bloomin backup before trying to fix something else and killiing it, was relatively simple I think

4. Fix Superuser (crashes and not allowing root to other apps; think we need to replace with the one from snowball mod) Indeirect is already on that one

5. Clear BootCnt and BCB (I have the script and can fix this; was waiting on wifi first)[/QUOTE] sounds like you've got it already we just need to sort WIfI

So all in all, we are very close! I'll update OP later with the todo list
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Is that all you've spotted, we don't even have ls lol for some reason our initial build didn't have a very great variety of command at all and we've not been looking at it, in CWM you have everything available though
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
We have busybox, I think we just seem to be missing a few executables from system/bin and xbin

I edited in a list of whats wrong that I've experienced thus far after tinkering for a few minutes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Basically all the commands atht are missing are all there they just need simlinks setup to toolbox

e.g. symlink("toolbox", "/system/bin/chmod");

there's quite a few of them!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
cool thing about busy box is that it actually has in an install feature. Try having it run the command busy box install -s /system/xbin

Try run_program(busybox, --install, -s, /system/xbin)

Its in the nars script for reference
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Yep, got to work all the time to pay off my pretty Nook :p

I swapped kernels again trying to get wifi working but will switch back. I would say we use the boot.img from v0.1 and use your/Indirect's system partition for the Alpha build.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I managed to get my system partition to work along side your new kernel so it's all good :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
It's weird because eI ran titanium and it popped up with the superuser window, it's recorded as having given permission but unfortunately the app says otherwise :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
Two things, first off i really would like to start helping you all in order to get this working. I want to document it, in case someone comes back and has to try to fix something aka fattire just enabled epl on the nook color.

Second of @Indirect. Su and Market have both been issues in the past, although it looks as though it is referancing the wrong OS version api. I would look to see if there was another one using a higher level api cals i think were on 14.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Loglud, hop on IRC. I'll start a channel.

Man, I just saw that the device assumes it's running CM9, not CM7. >.>'
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Yeah I forgot about that but didn't think much of it at the time. Any ideas where it is getting 4.0.3 from? I have all of the repos from 2.2-4.0.3 on the machine that I've been using to compile the kernel, but I didn't think the kernel make files even used those repos (I've been using CodeSourcery cross-compiler not the ones found with android source).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

was just a minor fix, its working now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Awesome! Great work!

So any idea why the device would report 4.0.3?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
it was a build.prop thing.

ro.sdkversion or something like that was 14. Had to be 10. I'll send you the build.prop after I set some tweaks in it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Well at the rate this team is going we could have an Alpha build out for everyone to play with by tonight!

Thanks for the support. It really has been a group effort, and a fast one at that! Stand-up a build in a week, is there a ribbon or something for that? LOL

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

No biggie. Right now I'm enjoying watching all of you take the reigns for a bit :D

I'll get you that wifi driver in a few hours and then we'll combine everyone's system directory to get current build.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
I'll send the build.prop when I get the wifi driver then I'll finalize everything I have atm.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
This xbin and bin issue is driving me freaking insane. :|

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

List of stuff to do today: (from earlier)

Fix SU

Fix busybox / xbin / bin (for normal commands to work such as ls / rm / which

Fix no market access
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
To be honest I didn't even think of adding a donate button to my profile, never crossed my mind. I've added one now, I'll donate anything to a local charity or something :)

OR if it's of use I'll put it towards another device that people want a rom for and perhaps have a go at building another rom with people :) I've quite enjoyed doing this one so far :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
well, the driver was a nogo. For some reason, it didn't load it. :|
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Both myself and Goncez have asked how they did it on the CM9 thread but I haven't heard anything yet. I'm sure they will reply though. They've got nothing to loose by sharing the knowledge :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
The wifi driver?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Yup, it still wont load the bloomin driver :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Damn. What driver did you use? Does the specific kernel build make a difference?

Thanks for trying anyway.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
I just fixed market though! :D All we quite literally need is brightness, sleep of death, and wifi and then we're good.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I was using the one included with the source, it didnt seem to work. :|
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Well at least that's progress ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
yeah, I got 3 things working all within a few hours. Atleast I achieved my goals for today. All the other major issues, are just bonuses. :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
Thanks for the button and I have donated. I really appreciate what you guys are doing and wish I could help. Maybe someday, but by then, there will be a different operating system to learn as it always is. I can host files for you guys though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Did you build a kernel? Would my drivers be any help or is there another issue?

The init.rc references a couple of wifi (and wpa) services that might need editing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
tiwlan_drv: version magic '2.6.35.7 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.35.7-ge8ff105 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

that's the error that dmesg throws out on wifi enable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Now that looks more familiar! Good catch on the logcat (I hate reading thru those).

I think I have the ge8ff105 file sitting at home. I'm new to kernel building and never realised it mdsumed drivers like that.

So where did you get your driver? Just currious.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Got it from adamoutler who built against the stock kernel. If you have the ge8ff driver, we might actually be in business.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
All I know is that my kernel builds were being signed with something like ge8ff. Here's hoping!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
well, i assume you are almost off work so we should have something up tonight. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Should be manning my machine in about an hour!

Like I've said, you are a trooper! Take a nap for God's sake :p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Fixed toolbox now too. So far here is what I have done:

Fixed market

Fixed Superuser

Fixed Displayed version of android / mod version / sdk version (these helped in fixing Superuser)

Fixed busybox

Fixed toolbox
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
Damn bro ur on the move :D that makes me so excited to see how this thread is starting to mature. Ima have a feeling this thread will be one of them great ones... Thank u all for all that has be gained in this u guys are beasts. Well ima done blabbing :p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
***Update***

FIXED CM7 Tablet menus (they disappeared when various other things got fixed)

FIXED N button home function (also died while fixing other stuff)

180/270deg rotation back as an option in settings. )guess what.... yup it died when something else got fixed!

We fix one thing it breaks another! It's surprising how much work goes into a seemingly simple project!

We do seem to be getting on top of it now though :)

We really do hope to be giving you something soon to play with :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Current Status

Well it's getting late and I have to turn in but I wanted to give one last update to everyone.

We have just about everything working now thanks to a bunch of devs.

What we still have to work on:

-Sleep of Death (if this is like Nook Color wifi should fix this)

-Screen Brightness Slider

-Audio Mic (may have already been fixed)

-Wifi

Wifi is the long poll in the tent and the first real hurdle since getting a booting image.

What I know so far is that each time a kernel is compiled you have to compile a companion wifi driver. I know that the driver we are looking for is tiwlan_drv.ko

The issue is that the B&N source code does not carry the source code to build this driver (as far as I can tell). What we need to do is either find another OMAP43XX device that has tiwlan source code, get B&N to release the code, or hope the CM9 team can post their findings.

If I had a guess I would say this might have been another deliberate move by B&N to slow down modding progress :(

If I'm totally off the reservation let me know.

No need to worry we will figure this out!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
Any chance to get this device added as a official CyanogenMod device?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
Maybe u should try and see that would be fantastic

___________________________________________
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
What about the kindle fire. That source has been released correct? I would think that *.ko would be close to functional

tiwlan_drv.ko from Kindle Fire
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
You need the finished ROM and the device tree basically finished modified source but since I'm not working on CM7 and I'm not a dev I can't so anything big
