I was just wondering if the beta version of the sd card rom was being worked on. I didn't see any updates since the 1st on the main post, and I wanted to make sure I hadn't overlooked it being posted in the thread somewhere.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] feladenfia:
keyboard ?

Hi there, i just flashed the rom & there is no keyboard ??? What happened ? how to fix this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Never heard of this before. If installed to internal, I would:

1. Boot into CWM.

2. Wipe Dalvik cache.

3. Install CM7 ROM.

4. Factory reset.

5. Flash gApps.

Basically reflash the ROM.

And next time, post problems or questions in the support thread (General subforum).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
I'm starting to think that the first post in this thread should have in a very large font, bold letters right at the top, "This is

NOT

the support forum for cm7 on the Nook Tablet."

With the following below it "Any requests for support in this thread will be immediately deleted. If you post a support request in this thread again after it is deleted, you will incur an infraction and/or receive a ban. Please post your question in the support thread."

Just seems like there's a plague of people who can't read. At least with it that big included in the first post (along with a hyperlink I might add), they couldn't claim ignorance. Boo hoo if you get banned for that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Well in everyone's defense, it seems that all other ROM threads in the Development subforum at XDA are also the place where the problems and support are located.

No big deal, just inform users there's a separate support thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
everyone makes mistakes

And, how is YOUR post (or mine for that matter) appropriate in a "development" thread?

Advice.. ignore the "offending" posts and allow the moderators to clear it up. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gunnroseclose:
As i see the only problem in this build is battery drain, in comparison with CM9 which has really good battery life (gives me around 6.5 hours continuosly connecting in wifi) . Is there anyway to improve our battery in this CM7 build? I just get around 4-4,5 hours in wifi mode for this beta build :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Be sure you do not have an app causing this. I had a case where is updated an app, and it set itself to

'do things" repetitively--keeping the phone from ever going to sleep.

Candidates are social network apps, mail apps, location/checkin apps, etc. Even radio station apps left in background often use location services; news apps. It can be LOTS of seemingly benign apps that, for example, like to know where you are for advertising purposes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gunnroseclose:
i checked, i'm pretty sure that i have turn off all online update app :( i think the problem is kernel :(

PS: BTW, as i see, when i run this build, the Wifi signal is really weak (sometimes it dropped while i have stronger signal in CM 9. Do you have any advice?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
.

I think it is the kernel also. . I tried this build and then I tried several of the ( just as good / better ? ) builds made by @succulent. I read ( months back ) the cm9 ( cm10 ? ) is the sole focus now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gunnroseclose:
That's right, the battery drain, SOD... are all related to kernel.

people are focusing on CM9 and CM10, i think too
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gunnroseclose:
Any suggestion on weak wifi signal problem? do we have any better kernel?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
Restore

If I install this (or any other ROM) starting from a factory ROM setting, will restoring the pre-ROM install restore the factory ROM?

Right now, I am rooted with stock rom.

If I nandroid backup, then install CM7 or CM9, can I nandroid restore back to the factory ROM (still rooted)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Yes, this is the beauty of a Nandroid backup!

Sent from my Slider SL101
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
Thank you Solar.Plexus!

I thought I'd read somewhere that installing a custom ROM would prevent restoring the original factory ROM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I do believe that as long as ROMs are kernel-compatible, a restore between different ROMs will work.

Sent from my Slider SL101
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
so if you back up the stock b&n rom and flash a cm10 rom for example. but then for troubleshooting purposes you restore the b&n stock rom you backed up before, it won't work?

i find that it works for me...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I mean just in general for any device, kernel and ROM must be compatible. Otherwise, you'll probably just end up with a bootloop.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Don't most ROMs flash an "embedded" kernel along with the ROM flashing process? (Then YOU can separately flash a different kernel if you wish?)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Restoring nandroid backups

Almost always, the ROM does include a kernel. However, there is a (limited) kernel in the recovery image - which is NOT backed up. We did a lot of trial and error with TWRP before getting ANY recovery (including CWM) that would flash CM10 with the 3.0 kernel.

Therefore, it is NOT always certain that you can restore a backup - or even FLASH a ROM - with a completely different kernel. At least until we get a "perfect" recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RoboticBuddy:
Sorry to bump this thread, but is there an SD Card image that is designed for 2GB SD Cards?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
Yo

I just installed the internal version and all went well. The only trouble that I am having is that I have no market. an I get a working market apk or zip to flash or something?

also, the ADW launcher that comes on here. Is there a way to adjust the 5 homescreens down to 3? I know how to do this on go launcher and on launcher pro but I cannot find such an option on adw.

thanks to everyone who worked so hard on this. I am impressed!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Did you flash the gApps after flashing the ROM?

Also, zooming out of your homescreen should allow you to add/remove/switch your home screens.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
Thanks for replying. I did not flash the gapps I didn't see a download like for gapps I looked but didn't see it. Also I tries zooming out to the screen where you can see all home screens at once but from there I didn't see anyway to reduce screens.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
There's a link here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

It's the generic Gingerbread GApps (I looked in the OP and despite a note in the second post that a link was added, I couldn't find a GApps download link either).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
To edit home screens in ADW launcher:

1. While on the home screen, click the android menu button

2. Select the option "Edit."

3. This will take you to the home screens, where you can add or delete them, as well as designate the "home" screen.

Have fun.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
thanks, I knew it was something easy that I was just missing!

One more thing I have noticed is that my SD card seems to only work sometimes. Sometimes it works and other times it says it cant be read and there are no files and it wants to format it.

Is this a common problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
Glad you got ADW worked out.

I don't know about the SD card issue.

I know that sometimes the card fails to read. When that happens, I just eject and reinsert it. It's only happened a few time to me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
This is probably just a mounting problem. Putting the card back in should fix the problem. If that doesn't seem to be helping, check to see what format your SD card is.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
Uh oh

I had this flashed and it was working well then all of the sudden it started getting completely stuck on the boot screen. I tried to reflash and it wont work and now it just boots into recovery after showing the white screen with the box. The pictures show what happens when I get into recovery and then when I try to reinstall the CM7 rom. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
I feel your pain...

One reason I will NOT flash a custom ROM on the Nook is because of the risks involved.

I rooted mine, installed a CM10 ROM (which installed the dreaded Cyanoboot bootloader). It worked ok, but I wanted to restore some of my information.

So I did a data restore from Nandroid (an advanced restore option).

That's when the problems started, and ended up with a bricked nook with a corrupt/missing bootloader/recovery.

I HIGHLY recommend JUST rooting the Nook and installing CWM 5.0.2.8 (for backups) and install Google Apps, Amazon Android Market, etc. separately. I also loaded ADW launcher.

I hope you get this figured out. I had to return my Nook to a B&N store and get a new one because of unstable ROMs and Cyanoboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] comat0se:
What a load of misinformation...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RhinoNelson:
I have to disagree with your "dreaded Cyanoboot" comment. In fact you said everything was working and then chose to do a Nandroid restore - that means your issue was with CWM and how you chose to use it and not Cyanoboot. Raising someone's fear about Cyanoboot - which in my dealings works flawlessly and facilitates a great deal of testing and ROM installations for the masses - is more your opinion than fact and honestly stems from your early issues not fully understanding the reasoning behind the need to circumvent the locked bootloader B&N chose to shackle the Nook Tablet with (that conversation with fattire is in a separate thread).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
Agreed. I haven't had a single issue with Cyanoboot since I bought my NT in February. It's also been virtually unbrickable for me, and I've diddled with pretty much every custom ROM posted. I wouldn't hesitate to tell any interested user to root and try new ROMs, assuming they're willing to do the homework and read the dev thread for the ROM they're interested in. In my experience, many folks run into problems when they miss some detail in the dev thread...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
These are facts - this is what happened to my Nook. I'm sorry you can't tell fact from opinion. Maybe the only "opinion" part of this was the word "dreaded" in front of "Cyanoboot."

You were not there, so you don't know the facts.

As for Cyanoboot, I can say that until that bootloader was on my system, it worked fine. The CM10 ROM loaded it. Maybe it had nothing to do with anything. But I can tell you that mucking around with bootloaders always carries some risk - and I don't think ANY developer would disagree with that statement.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Maybe "dreaded" was too strong a word. I can say that the Nook can work just fine with just root and a good launcher. No real need for anything else to make it work better than plain stock.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
Uh Oh

OK so now that we all know that no one agrees with the guy who does not like cyanoboot (I like cyanoboot) is there anyone who may be able to help me :( The pictures are in the original post I made about this (not far away within ten posts of this one earlier on this thread.

I had this flashed and it was working well then all of the sudden it started getting completely stuck on the boot screen. I tried to reflash and it wont work and now it just boots into recovery after showing the white screen with the box. The pictures show what happens when I get into recovery and then when I try to reinstall the CM7 rom. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
Try this link to Ray Waldo's fix:

http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/

Good luck.

By the way - ignore the flame-guys. My opinion still stands - risky to muck around with a bootloader for any android device.

Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] comat0se:
I would format the cache and see what happens...

If that didn't change anything I'd...

update the CWM to 6 using this flashable recovery: http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip

Then I'd flash a CM10 rom, like this one: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/acclaim/cm10/cm-10-20121115-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952141

I'd also wipe cache/dalvik and do a factory reset/wipe. This will also upgrade you from 2-touch multitouch to 10-touch.

Good luck
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sineira:
Well I cleaned mine out and started from 1.4.0. Rooted it and turned off OTA.

Couldn't add an account, keep on getting error message popups. "The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly".

Reboot into recovery gives me an error ...

Cyanoboot sometimes responds to the N to get menu, sometimes not.

Installed gapps to see if that made a difference and now I can't even get it past the initial add account page.

Format cache makes no difference.

OOps!

Wipe Dalvik and data seems to have fixed it but now I lost everything installed of course.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sineira:
Now it says missing /system/bin/su ...

WTF???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
Try the restore technique from Ray Waldo from my post above. It might help you get to square one.

Then I suggest you just root it and not load a custom ROM. Not neededbin my opinion.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sineira:
Yes I restored it instead of trying to fix this mess.

I used the SD I made earlier to restore it to stock 1.4.0.

Registered witn B&N and then rooted it with the SD method described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630

Upgraded "NT hidden settings" via Google Play and OTAd it.

Done!

So if I burn the his image to a 4gb card and mail it to a friend she can simply put it in her nook tablet and it will boot cm7?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheForceUnleashed:
Pretty much. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newellj79:
Nice. She has no tech savvy so I just need something that will pop in and work. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Be sure she knows that for the CM7 to start off the microSD card, the Nook must be in a completely powered down state when power on is pushed.

A reboot will still boot into the normal Nook onboard OS.

New NT8 user coming from NC

Is this the latest ROM to be using for running CM7 off of SD for an 8GB tablet? I've been running CM7 on a Color for almost a year from SD and recently took the plunge and put CM10 on the EMMC of the color. Going to give the Color to my daughter and try the NT8 (was $79 today on Ebay). I did not see any real differences on the color between running off of SD vs EMMC, does that hold true for the NT? It looks like the SD version may be Alpha version versus Beta version for EMMC so that may be a reason for going with the internal install. I'm a little gun shy with the Tablet since I've seen many posts about people bricking them with the locked boot loader and differences between the 8gb and 16gb versions. Just trying to make sure I'm proceeding in the right direction. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Most folks are now on CM10, there are a number of different versions available, and you can find info on building a SDcard version for some of the ROM versions here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mogators1:
Didn't know how stable CM10 was on the tablet so I was thinking of going with CM7 to start with. Might try CM10 using the procedures you linked to and see how it goes. I was liking CM10 on my color except for the lack of flash support.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winsettr:
CM10 (and the various kangs) are incredibly stable, and the few issues are quite tolerable (like SD unmount).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Intruder7s:
SD unmount was fixed 3-4 days ago.

What is it exactly that you want? The link quoted in the post above yours is valid for the ROM zip. The GApps link is, unfortunately, dead.

It might be possible to run down a GApps package for Android 2.3, (here, for example) but my question is why would you even bother to go to all the trouble of flashing CM7 when there are perfectly good ROMs for CM10.2, CM11, CM12.1, CM13 and AOSP 7?

xda not working

First of all let me say great job guys. Worked great after I pulled my head out o my rear. For those having md5 errors, when you unzipgpo into the folder where you extracted the restoreand move the NT(whatever its called) to the chmod/backup file. That should take care of the md5 error. The only thing I am having trouble with is the xda premium app. Will not install no matter what I do. Everything else I've done works flawlessly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] WRX1:
So after spending some time, I have only run across 1 problem and that is with dropbox. I saw that someone posted above about reseating the sd card and give that a try.

Once it is finished charging back up, I will give that a try.

Which leads me to my next discovery. I can now charge my NT with any cable on any usb outlet. Before I had to use the nook cable and the nook ac/dc conveter box to charge, now I can use any of my cables on any of my chargers and the system will still charge. So far it has gone up a little over 10% at around 30 minutes of charge time using my GS2 charger.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dariobrit:
First of all, you guys rock! I was quite desperate when I found that no CM7 could be run in my NT, and then you give the bless jejeje:D

Atm, everything is fine. My only problem is that I can't access the internal storage when connecting to my PC; i can see the sdcard but not the internal. Neither I can transfer files from the sdcard to the internal (when in CM7).

If you know a way to do this, let us know. The rest is the blast!;)

Wifi Issue resoved with internal image

First off, thanks for stepping up, taking the bull by the horns, and tackling this. Been limping along with rooted stock for months but I had faith!

Restore of the internal image went smoothly. Once I was up, I was unable to authenticate to my wifi network, it got hung up in requesting an IP address and would never connect.

On a hunch I tried restoring permissions with Clockwork and rebooting. Success!

Haven't tried much else yet but will be getting into it soon.

Thanks again,

I have been an interested observer on xda from the time of WM5 devices through android devices of all kinds. For my kids' 2 NT's, I have been disappointed with the B&N rom to say the least, and am excited to be able to install a good rom on there. The speed of the development I observed here was amazing! Thanks Celtic and Gonc (notice you're in DC; Bethesda here) for your hard work and the other developers who worked so hard to crack into the NT and open up the possibilities.
