Something is definitely wrong with you there, it's smoother and faster than previous versions, No SOD at all to our knowledge, boot time is no longer than previous versions. Overclock is being build into a separate kernel release and will never be released as part of the standard release, it will always be a choice for people to add it to their devices.

I'm sorry you are not happy with all our hard work but I am pretty sure there's something not wrong your end because I believe other would agree this is a big step up on the previous version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Good morning Albert, I posted it at about 1am before going to bed. I was more than happy to do this because our testers have been testing it and were happy that it was at least as stable as the previous version so was not a risk to post it at all.

I will be updating the 2nd post this morning with the changes to explain whats been done.

Realistically this is actually a beta, but due to the fact that it's actually a complete rebuild it's the first time this build has ever been released so decided to release as an alpha just in case we'd missed something during the build process which could show it's ugly head unexpectedly.

Next builds will be at least Betas or possibly even RC's.

Hope that explains things to you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Elmar1801:
Allright, i checked everything again and have done a low level format of my sd. No sd-ext this time.

Now all is looking good. Thanks for the info about oc.

What about the restart to recovery?

I do really respect your work and i am quit happy with it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
We realize we lost the reboot option to recovery, but you can still do it from Rom Manager. We are looking to re-add that feature in the future but I think CM7 went away from that method due to the fact that they are leaning harder and harder on Rom Manager.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fjhuerta:
This is awesome!

I am running the new release. Dolphin HD is definitely smoother, Youtube video HD and netflix are perfect, and the desktop scrolls smoother. Boot times are the same. I did a full wipe and restore with Titanium Backup. Everything works even better than before!

This Nook flies! Thank you so much for CM7!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
I can confirm reboot to recovery works fine in ROM Manager.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjmohit:
Status 1 error, yet again.

I am getting a status 1 error while flashing this ROM. An exact similar thing was happening when I was trying to install the MIUI ROM. I had tried everything from reflashing stock to using Adam Outler's total reflash to reflashing CWM, nothing had worked. I have concluded that I have a faulty device. :( :(

Then Veronica suggested using a CWM backed up copy of the ROM. I am really thankful to her for creating a copy for me and that worked.

So if anyone willing to help would create a CWM backup copy of the ROM and upload it for ppl like me who are facing this problem (a few ppl were having this problem flashing MIUI), I would be really very grateful.

I would like to request Celtic to upload a similar copy with every release for the unfortunate crowd like me, coz its a pain to be deprived of such a wonderful ROM.

Thank you Celtic and others for your hard work. :)

Working very nicely.

Thank you for all your efforts, having video playback back is great.

I had to manualy download Google Play (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535071) as the market in the GAPPS zip was not working for me, and did not auto upgrade to Play.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Aleq:
Just a note, that Android Market was automatically updated to Play for me. I just installed the final Alpha and flashed recommended Gapps.

The ROM is running well, I love it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Thanks to Celtic and others for your encouragement to move forward with this build and install it on my device. Things worked out just fine (had to do a bit of searching on how to install CWM Recovery) and I'm up and running with the latest internal build.

Frankly there are fewer bugs than the results I got using Indirects root with Home Catcher and more apps function correctly. Good job!

I'm guessing the hardware accelerated video only works with the internal video player and not things like MXVideo Player that I use to watch networked shared videos from my desktop via ES File Browser. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

In all, excellent job. It's great to have the microphone actually work in apps like Dolphin Browser HD. You can finally do a voice serach!

I would encourage everyone to install this and check out the troubleshooting section if you run into problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
awesome work with the Alpha final. I've recorgnized that you removed the reboot into recovery function when you press the power key and choose to reboot your deivce. was that on purpose or is it just becuase of the upgrade to CM7.2 ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bocaccio:
Is there any way I can get the B&N reader on this rom to be the way it is on the stock os? That is my only complaint on this rom. I have it backed up w cwm waiting to restore it. Not all that crazy over the other roms.

Wow fantastic!

This is working so good I'm loading it on my wife's now as well!

Wi-Fi issues while sleeping seem completely fixed and hardware acceleration works perfect with Hulu+, Netflix, YouTube HD videos and everything else I have thrown at it!

Thank you so much for the hard work guys! This is the whole reason I bought Nooks! Thanks again!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Redman247:
In looking at this I seemed to recall something in the far reaches of my memories that allowed a person from an X86 Windows platform to not only make partitions through Disk Management, but also to mount those partitions with drive letters.

Sources:

ubcd4win.com (Can't post full URL's yet, sorry!)

I did modify the information a bit since it was speaking to WinXP at the time. I can validate that it still works on Windows 7 32 bit, it will not work on Windows 64 bit systems. Also, you will have to do the whole process again if you want to see the partitions on another system.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dimebagdan65:
Loving the new update, only problem is, first time I tried to install, got stuck in a boot loop and couldn't for the life of me get back to recovery. Luckily Adam's thread on returning to stock worked (although not as intended lol) to boot me back into recovery. After second install, all is working flawlessly!

Restart

Hi Guys,

I have had a little mysterious restart today when I was listening to Tinyshark. Nook restarts in a middle of song for no reason. I dont understand it :confused: ....

Is there someone who has same trouble?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Three quick questions to help us investigate:

1. Is this repeatable?

2. Was the device plugged in?

3. Can you capture a logcat of the incident?

Please answer on our support thread under the General section as this thread is supposed to be reserved for future development work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dimebagdan65:
Wow... ridiculously fast and smooth now! Can't wait to see ICS fully working on this bad boy!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:

What would be the best video player for this since its able to play 264 now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
Wow, that was easy!

Wow, this is fast and smooth!

Wow, great job!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
the best way to get HW decoding working on CM7 is to convert your files to use AVC(H264) video codec.

I've recently been using the video converter called format factory. I am using base mp4 settings with H264 codec and resolution set at 1024x600. There is no point in setting it higher than that because the NT only displays up to that resolution.

converting to a file that has a higher resolution results in more conversion time and a bigger file size which is pointless because the NT can't support it anyways.

hopefully this helps.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
Although I'm still trying to make this work, you know what - you guys did a wonderful job. THANK YOU ALL!

Now my problem -

I can't boot from SD card (the external method). This is what I did:

1. I took my NT16G to BN store for repartitioning this afternoon. The repartitioning was done fine and I got 8G back in the internal.

2. Coming back home from BN store, I formatted a 16G class 4 SD and followed the instruction (external method) to download and burn the image file to the SD on PC's SD bay

3. Put the SD into NT16 and started the NT16. NT16 booted from the internal (BN), not from the external SD.

Is there some steps I missed?

These are files right after SD image was made and before inserted into NT16:

flashing_boot

boot

MLO

u-boot.bin

Android (folder)

.android_secure (folder)

LOST.DIR (folder)

These are files after I inserted the SD into NT16 and booted it:

All above files & folders plus the following folders

B&N Downloads

My Files

Pictures

Thanks!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
After each reboot Thumb Keyboard force closes upon attempted use. This did not happen before the Alpha Final. I wiped all cache and data/factory reset before flashing the latest alpha.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I know that having software issues sucks, but for the 8 millionth time, this isn't the support thread.

THIS is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540272

The top of the first post states, in bold, bright-green font, that you should take all questions and problem inquiries to the support thread.

Please take this stuff seriously; the devs post in this thread to communicate what's happening for development and users like me check this thread to read updates about development, not to hear about your problems with the current build. It's kind of frustrating when I see a new post in this thread and it turns out to be another person who didn't read the first post. Please, report any and all bugs or issues in the support thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
I found this interesting. When I left the NT16 plugged into the power cable while it's booting, it booted into CM7. After it booted, I could unplug it and it stayed in CM7. From CM7 if I selected 'Reboot' without the power cable plugged in, it would reboot into NT. Is this supposed to be or I missed something here? Thanks for help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Your SD card should have 4 partitions (boot, system, data, and sdcard). Check that these partitions are visible from your computer. Note, if you are using a windows machine you will only be able to explore the boot and sdcard partitions as the other two are ext4 format.

If you aren't seeing these partitions then the sdcard image was not extracted properly. It can take some time to extract the image so be patient and don't cheat.

Please post any other issues on the support thread ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
Seriously? I can't believe you just posted this here.

* Sorry for being harsh. I stand corrected that this could be development related. Is there an actual bug tracker setup for this project? It seems like that would make a lot more sense for potential development related bugs.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
I wonder if it is at all related to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22786159&postcount=44

My Nook Tablet has the same issue and I discovered it as a result of applying AdamOutler's total wipe (the thread in which the above post appears). I don't know if anyone will be able to fix this any time soon.

It'll be a PITA for those wanting to boot off SD. Essentially you will need some sort of powered micro USB cable to initiate a boot to SD which, in general, means you'll either need to tow along your laptop or the AC adapter.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
This is not an issue, actaully we consider it a feature. If you are running SDcard version it will only boot using the SD from a completely powered off state. If you are running CM7 from SD and want to reboot into stock, just reboot. If you want to 'reboot' into CM7 from SD you must completely power off and then turn the Nook back on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
No Problem. That's my ignorance after all. I posted my issue to thread "[NEW] NT CM7 support thread".

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Perhaps you are correct on the "reboot" feature - I trust you on that given your involvement. :) However, I think you might be missing the part that he had it plugged in the first time. There's something about some Nook Tablets that will refuse to boot to SD no matter what unless they are plugged in. (Or specifically, turned off then turned on by inserting a powered micro-USB cable).

If I'm completely off base, please let me know and I'll stand down.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
Yes, I have to plug in every time if I want to boot to CM7 from SD. Without the USB connection it always boots to NT.

When it's in CM7 if I pressed down 'power' button, a menu popped up with "Re-boot" as one of the options. If I selected 'Reboot' it reboot into CM7 if the device was plugged in; otherwise to NT.

I don't know if I would call this 'feature', but I do see it as a quick way to switch into NT without taking the SD out.:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Sorry, missed that part of the conversation :o

I have not experienced this myself so it has been hard to trouble shoot for others. I beleive the 'plug in to boot sd' issue is related to the type of sdcard you have. The nook color was also finicky about the brand and speed of sdcards.

Two things to check (using gparted or another partitiong tool) is that the first Boot partition have both the "lda" and "boot" flags enabled. Also, has anyone with this issue tried to boot another sdrom (or SD CWM) using the same sdcard and ended up with the same issue?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
I find it hard to believe that is the only cause - I, like Adam, used a class 4 4GB SanDisk card and followed his exact steps for his total wipe using Ubuntu and got different results than he did on his Nook Tablet. He even indicated that, in his experience, it seemed to be machine specific rather than card specific. I'd like to believe it is the card. I will find out soon when I try making a bootable SD of CM7... once I find the 32GB card I ordered. :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nikiddawg:
same problem here. just followed the directions, put the image on an 8GB Kingston SD card. If it's plugged into the USB (to the wall charger) it goes right into CM7. If it's not plugged into the USB, then it goes straight to standard NT with no option to select CM7.

Hope someone can figure this out ASAP.

I had purchased a pre-made card for my NC (I know...I know....sorry...just wasn't feeling confident....now I know why) and it worked just fine on the NC. With the card in, got the option to either select SD card or EMMC.

Not so with the NT sadly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snooch6923:
Can you recommend a sd card brand where we are less likely to encounter this problem?

Apologies for posting here...I know it's a support question but it made more sense within this part of this thread.....please forgive!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Just for reference, I have used both a 4GB and 16GB Sandisk Class 4 cards when building the SDcard version. So it sounds like it may be the extraction of the sd image that could be the issue. Unfortunately I have not had this issue so it is hard to get my hands around, but at the same time I have not used the imaging method to build a card. I've just manually created each partition and installed the necessary files by hand.

I'm working on a write up on how I setup SDcards and will post the individual files required later on. In the mean time has anyone been able to check if the lda and boot flags are properly enabled on the boot partion of the sdcard?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Since many people's cards do boot without power connected, would the answer to this have to be 'yes'?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
I've just checked in GParted: boot and lba flags are both set on the first Fat32 partition. Still no booting from SDcard... CM7 booted only once during the initial booting.

EDIT: I noticed that my CWM-based bootable Sdcard had no "lba" flag on the first partition so I removed the "lba" flag from the boot partition and now I am able to boot CM7 from the SDcard, but only from the OFF state by connecting the cable to PC. I have CM9 internally installed and CM7 on the SD with the swapped "flashing_boot.img" from Cyanoboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] koyotegambit:
Great work guys. But, (and sorry) I followed the instructions and rooted my nook. However, when I remove my SD card, it automatically goes back to the Nook Stock OS. What did I do wrong? CM7 runs great, but I do I have to keep that memory card in?

And secondly, I have tried countless times to install CWM, and I dont believe I have succeeded. How can I check if its installed?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dhkr234:
Obviously, you're using the SDCARD version, otherwise you would have needed to use CWM to install it (and you'd know that it was, in fact, installed). Yes, this is NORMAL. In fact, this is the PURPOSE of the SDCARD version -- to LEAVE THE STOCK OS INSTALLED!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Just to let people know when I get back from holidays (vacation) and have caught up with my week away, Gonc and I will be working on releasing a FULL source that will build a compete and useable update.zip of cm7 for nook tablet. By complete we mean it will compile a fully functional boot.img that is capable of booting the nt in cm7 as well as the full functional os. Before its publically released we have to make sure all the file history is there and that it can be traced right back using the cyanogen project. It will not be released until this step is complete.

Also we are currently having to substitute some files in the update and also change the boot.img so it's not building 100% from source yet.

We're not sure how long this will take but obviously we're not talking months or anything silly. It's just a case of juggling personal workload and spare time to get it sorted and uploaded between us.

The only reason I have just posted this is because I've been approached by a mod who has been asked by "A fellow developer" to ask us to release source. Not quite sure why they asked a Mod instead of contacting directly but I'm sure there is a simple explanation for that.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that source WILL be released in full as soon as we have had sufficient time to do it properly.

Thanks

Celtic & Gonc
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] koyotegambit:
Oh, ok. Gotcha. Will get a 16 gb so i will have more memory. I tried to install CWM but i failed. Will do more reading and try again. Thanks for the speedy response.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JKShack:
One thing I noticed about bootihg from SD

OK, forgive me if this has been posted before but I have noticed an interesting thing when booting from SD. I have the NT 1/16 using a 16 gig class 4 or 6 card (sorry can't remember and don't have it in front of me).

It had been formatted in the NT before I flashed the image on it, just flashed over it (it still has old semi corrupt data on it).

So what I noticed is in order to get it to boot from SD, I had to remove the card and reinsert. Otherwise it would not recognise it. if I power off in CM7 and reboot, it will go into Nook mode until I eject and reinsert. Don't know why, chaulked it up to "quirky, not final release" issue.

Have not read all the posts so sorry if this has been discussed.

Good luck to all. It really is an awesome build.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] qngds:
FWIW, I tried Adam's method with the 4g class 4 and could not get it to work (several times). I did have the lda and boot flags enabled on the boot partition of the sdcard. I was successful though when I used a 16g class 4 card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smarcin:
As I understand it, the SDcard installation is from 3/7, but the internal installation has been reworked and was updated on 3/9. Is there a way to use newer 3/9 version and put it on an SDcard and run it from the SDcard? Or, will Celtic and Gonc be releasing a new version for SDcard? I hope this is the right place to ask this. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snooch6923:
Sounds like the way to go is using a new or fully wiped/reformated 16g class 4 with ida and boot flags both ENABLED for now until Gonc shows us how to set up the sd card manually and posts files.

Would you agree Gonc?

Nooklover....try ENABLING both ida and boot flags, rather than disabling (as I understood you did in your last post.) Let us know if you have any luck!

Thanks Gonc and Celtic for helping tease this one out. I'm going to try the above........as soon as I can afford the 16g card! Pathetic, I know!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
The 3/7 SD card version is the same as the 3/9 internal version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Yup the current releases of internal and SD are based on the system files they were just released a couple of days apart.

Not seeing Internal memory when connected

Wonderful Job Gents:D Loving the Nook Tablet even more now. I did the internal root and it works great.

The only issue I'm having is I am no longer able to see the Nook when connected to the PC. Only my SD card comes up. Is there a setting for that, or did I do something wrong in the Build?
