Good thing I noticed! This is my wife's nook - and she is travelling Sunday. So on the off chance the new version isn't out, and I mess up her video in any way, she'll kill me! So, I'll wait patiently for the internal update. Thank you, sir!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dhkr234:
Anybody who likes status output can do a little extra trick... dd prints out a status update whenever you send it a USR1, so;

while ( true ); do killall -USR1 dd; sleep 5; done & dd if=blah of=blah; kill %1

Explanation; setup an infinite loop to send USR1 signal to all "dd" processes on 5 second intervals, background it, run dd, then kill the background loop the moment that dd terminates.

Can also use $! in place of %1 to kill the "last" backgrounded process.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
When released, can this be applied as an update or will we need to completely replace the installation? (Clearing buffers and whatnot)?

Note: I'm not actually sure if there's a difference from an install perspective to be perfectly honest.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
CelticWebSolutions, would you consider posting the MD5 hash numbers next to the download links?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
You are always ensured best performance and results if you do a complete wipe of data, cache,and davlik cache. That being said, some testing shows that you can udate to the new version without wiping data, but previously installed apps are likely to break (but there data will remain intact).

I recommend doing a Titanium Backup and wiping data. This is a significant jump in framework (we went from Android 2.3.4 to 2.3.7). If you choose not to wipe data at least wipe cache and davlik to prevent issues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
Oh-tay. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
sure I'll do it when I get back to main computer with files on :)

MIUI 2.2.3 on SD Card

This is a really awesome thread. However, I have not had good luck updating the MIUI 2.2.3 zip file to the CM7 SD card setup.

I had been able to do so when I owned a Nook Color by updating my CM7 SD card setup by putting "update-cm-" in front of the file. Putting the file on to the CM7 SD card boot directory then put it in the device and turn it on. It would recognize the file and begin updating CM7 to MIUI.

This does not seem to be the case here though. Am I right, or am I missing something, or is this being explained in another post?

Cheers!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
MIUI is technically another ROM and we are not supporting it here. There is another thread in the general section for the group working on porting MIUI ;) I'm pretty sure you can't just grab another device's update.zip but I don't think it will be to hard for the MIUI group to port it over.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Ok, so where exactly does this build fall as far as development stages? It's alpha, correct? I only ask because I would rather wait for a stable release than put a very early build on the device that could cause a headache because of unforseen bugs. I haven't seen this kind of info compiled into one space coherently, though there is some info scattered about the forums. Frankly between the CM9 development and other projects, it's a bit hard to keep up with, and I've been around for a while too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nerdyjim:
Sorry if this is a really newbie question, but could someone explain to me how I would go about changing the last partition to fit on a bigger SDcard?

EDIT: OOPS! forgot about the support thread, thanks for the heads up!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Wrong thread, go to the tech support thread/faq thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
Its technically alpha, but its stable enough for everyday use. Try it out, many of us use it as a dd!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Agreed, many people use this as their daily, it doesn't have any nasty bugs that have been discovered.

The new version that has been released on SD is a more up to date version than the internal version currently available for download. In a few days time the new internal version will also be available as well. It has cured many of the most well known bugs like poor video performance and we believe it's also cured the wifi issues.

We personally believe, and I think most people here would also agree, the CM7 release, while marked as an Alpha, is already useable as an everyday OS without issue. It is now very stable and is far more of a pleasure to us ethan the stock B&N operating system, if there are bugs in CM7 they will still allow you to do far more than the stock os would have anyway.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
The only things that in my mind were at all "Alpha" about the alpha12 release was video and wifi, both are now fixed, so I expect it will very soon skip over beta to 1.0. :)

Try it out, its good and stable!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
The only reason the next release is being touted as Alpha Final is that it's actually a completely different release. The Alpha final build is actually a total rebuild. The original build was a bit of a Frankenstein because ewe had code and files from the Nook Color just made to work on the NT. The new build is compiled completely for the NT and is therefor a totally new build, it's also now CM7.2 / Gingerbread 2.3.7. The internal version will be posted up in the next few days.

So in short next release will still be called an alpha due to it being so new but in reality we believe it's probably closer to an RC than an Alpha ;)

I can guarantee (excluding unexpected events) you will all have the new internal version so you can play with it over the weekend. I'm going on holiday Sunday so you'll have it before then ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
so is the internal version updated yet? Or just the SD.I'm confused :-P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Internal release is the same one it has been for a while alpha12 like I said the updated release will be out in the next few days.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newskate9:
Celtic - This is the reason I asked before, it's not obvious to the casual reader that the internal link is the OLDer version. It may be work, but some of us are waiting for the new internal with wifi, new build, etc. Maybe a quick note on the OP might help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I've put some dates by them with alpha release details.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newskate9:
Excellent. Thank you, Sir!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pissinguoff247:
The OP says the current version still has some hardware decoding issues - is it rude to ask if any progress has been made in the upcoming Alpha Final on video playback/hardware decoding? Netflix is the only reason I haven't moved to CM7 on my NT yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kwineon:
From skimming recent posts by Celtic/team b it appears to be nearly 100% functional. Patience is a good thing right now. Internal version is said to be coming soon.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Full hardware decoding and graphic acceleration is functional in the alpha final version on the internal cm7 which will be release by the weekend :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Observation: I am running the SD card version. I see no functional issues with it so far at all--but that is one day's use. wifi seem to work fine. Have seen no battery usage issue.

There are a couple of things *I* want to work on (larger icons and fonts), a wifi shortcut on the desktop--to make turning on and off quicker to get to, and a few other things.

But in general I LOVE it--have made a donation. This is definitely a fine product, and I urge everyone who uses it to make some kind of donation.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pissinguoff247:
Dear sweet baby jebus in his manger, I love you. Thank you.

I still can't get the SD card booting of the current release, unfortunately. It seems I have some BS magical tablet that refuses to boot anything other than the Acclaim update from the SD card (3 pages in my thread so far, here, but nothing has worked).

So sad :( I don't feel like doing an internal install until Alpha Final; so I will wait.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JKShack:
Sorry to hear it is not working for you. Have you tried different SD cards (sorry did not read your 3 pages of posts...smile.)

I flashed mine over my SD card that had existing data on it and even with that it seems to be working wihtout any problems. honestly I have to say it works better than the version I had on my Color...and I actually paid for that one...ouch.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pissinguoff247:
3 brands of SD card over 5 cards.

1 - 16gb Samsung Class 4

2 - Patriot 8gb Class 4

2 - Kingston 4gb Class 4

I've got one more Patriot 8gb class 4 I haven't opened yet that I'm saving for an emergency, but I've basically tried everything

-Writing .img's

-Formatting and copying files extracted from img's

-Formatting on a mac/linux

-Writing images with mac/linux

-using diskpart commands, easeus partitioner

-using win32 disk imager and the other one people use who's name escapes me

AND - that's both with the usb cable method and the standard boot method

I can't boot SD cwm, CM7, or anything other than the acclaim update.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hmmm re-download? Did you verify the md5?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pissinguoff247:
Not just talking about this CM7 download - this is multiple things. Albert's cards (multiple versions), multiple downloads of the CM7 image on both my windows machine and my work mac. Nothing works.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
My first tab was exactly the same! It just refused point blank to boot anything. Weirdly it did eventually deside to work and worked fine from there on.

I still had to tether it but it always worked.

You won't have much more if a wait for the internal version I promise
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
You're such a tease ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Ooooooo...pretty dang close to an ETA! Well, not really. The rule is intact. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Just a question, WHEN the internal version gets here if im already running cm7 will i just boot into CWM and then flash it? or will i have to somehow transfer over all my user data? great rom very stable for an alpha build. keep up the great work. Also once the 3.x kernel is finished will all you devs work on cm9 instead of this build? or will you continue cm7 development?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
To answer your first question, you will be able to just flash the update.zip overtop of your previous build. This will work and save your data but will most likely break your apps and require they be re-installed.

The recommended (safest way to ensure best performance) will be to use Titanium Backup, or your backup of choice, and fully wipe data, cache, and davlik before flashing.

To answer your second question, I'm not sure what Celtic's plans are but we are always open to aiding the CM9 team however possible. I believe they are fully staffed at the moment, however. In the mean time there are still plenty other things to work on (updating CWM, enabling BT, enable variable OC, and fix a bunch of other small items).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Im excited for BT especially ;) music streaming, keyboards, multiplayer games and wireless controllers!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
Hey, Gonc! Chris Hoffman mentioned in their CM9 thread:

*DEVELOPERS WANTED. *Please contact us if you are a developer with something to contribute.

So I guess you have a lot to contribute with your experience :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
Did u guys work out the GPS?? Also how is music playing from the sd bc current release doesn't seem to play it quite well. Sometimes it will glitch like a time stretch and the jump back on track or reboot the device. I post link to dropbox with all of them in a zip for u Celtic just to take a look at it. Idk if it caught it in the log or not but he'll worth a tryhttp://db.tt/ohkMyd4Q

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Yeah I know its alpha 0 and all but cm9 needs some bug fixing love.

This is a cm7 thread not a cm9. Also this is not a support thread. Stay on topic.

< can't wait to get the new (bad ass) version of CM7

as an aside did they get around to fixing the white on white menus?

some programs (like ezPDF) were still experiencing white on white menu issues
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
I'm home from work. To me the weekend has officially started! :D:D:D ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jznomoney:
I can't wait either. The sdcard version is running good but I'd rather it be internal seeing I'll never use the b&n crapware since I bought this tablet to put cm on it anyway lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] angusj:
It's 8.30am Saturday morning here ;).

Also, I'm not sure it's wise for Celtic to release the internal version just before he goes away. If things go wrong it's good to be around.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Glad everybody is enjoying their new all signing all dancing Nook Tablets with CM7 on them.

Looking at download stats we've gone past 500 Downloads already :) I knew that Gigabyte network connection on the server was a good idea :)

If I've missed any questions please PM them to me and I'll do my best to reply promptly and helpfully.

I'm going to shoot off for a few hours now and have some Family time, Enjoy your super bowls and CM7 Nook Tablets :)

Seeya later!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Not tried it yet but will look later for you if somebody hasn't already checked ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mephikun:
I have an issue. I'm trying to make an SD card for CM7 but can't find system.ext4.tar.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bingoz:
Thank you all for great rom. But after switch to this rom, I can't play Cut The Rope anymore, I just see black screen when I click Play button :(

I use internal version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joeras:
Titanium Backup

I was able to manually install my apps and app data, one at a time. Batch operation wouldn't work. I think my XDA app was causing an issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] stealthfx:
Keep on getting md5 mismatch, I tried the md5 mismatch fix that veronica suggested, but it can't find "nandroid.md5", I would have figured that would be first created by cwm after a successful backup. Trying to download beta again. Could be because the server is getting hammered. Can someone post the MD5 vals from a clean download that worked for them, so I can check my download? Sorry if its already out there, but I haven't seen it yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Okay Celtic, I think I need help. I was going to be clever and use the NT itself as the intermediary to copy the system files to the system partition of the SD card. I know I should just use the CD-boot version of Ubuntu but I want to get this to work from Win7 for the less linux-adept users.

I extracted the files from the system tar and copied them to a subdirectory under My Downloads on my NT. I then turned it off and inserted the SD card which has been partitioned for CM7 use. I had not yet installed the boot partition files because I just want it to look like a SD card right now. I powered up the NT again. I figured this is where I'd be clever and just copy the system files stored on the NT to the system partition on the SD card. But in neither ES File Explorer nor Root Explorer can either the system or data partitions be seen on the card. Root Explorer reports that the SD card is not mounted. I tried ejecting and reinserting a few times. The card is recognized but remains unmounted. Is there a way around this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlino211:
Alright guys so running on two NT's its great. Theres only one issue I see (these were installed from the direct system not SD card). Hardware acceleration isn't really 100% yet. Netflix works, but has dragging, and golauncherEX does have some stability issues when swapping screens. That all the issues I've had so far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] strictlyrude27:
I'm writing the edify-script to make the internal a CWM update-zip right now. Two stupid questions but I'd rather not brick my device in attempting to do this:

1) All partitions are mounted as ext4, right? (as opposed to yaffs)

2) All partitions are EMMC rather than MTD, right?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fierywater:
First off, thank you SO much. Having CM7 on here is exactly what I hoped would happen when I got the NT in the first place. My patience has finally paid off.:D

Secondly, I've noticed a few oddities. Nothing earth-shattering but I felt I should report them anyhow.

1) The CRT screen off animation doesn't match the orientation of the screen in portrait mode.

2) The lockscreen appears to be disabled by default and I'm not sure where to enable it. I looked through the CM7 lockscreen options and didn't see anything, but I may very well have missed it. EDIT: Nevermind, see below.

Maybe the options for both of these are hidden somewhere - if they are, feel free to let me know the error of my ways. :)

EDIT: Found #2 under Tablet tweaks in CM options. Whoops! Still looking for #1.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] iferlive:
I'm stuck on a bootloop into cwmr, this is what I did: boot into cwmr made a full wipe (system, cache, dalvik, battery stats, and data partitions) then restore the cm7 backup and it restore with no problems and no error messages finally I fixed permitions and selec reboot system but oh surprice it doesnt boot into cm7 only into cwmr dont know how to make it work guys if somebody could help me would be great

Thanks in advance
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Please see this site:

http://nookdevs.com/Dump_NookTablet_Partitions

Not all partitions are Ext4 and the Nook Tablet uses MTD
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
2) go to settings>clockworkmod settings> Tablet Tweaks and uncheck disable lockscreen

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kodjo:
First - congratulations to all the devs for their awesome work. You opened a whole new world of possibilities for the NT.

So lets move to the problem - I was trying to build SD version, but I am stuck at "sudo file-roller" part - when i run it I get an empty Archive menager window instead of system.ext4.tar and the following message

I think its related with my PC - missing some specified paths or something?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ae1990:
Oops I downloaded strait to NT then used defile explorer to extract to sdcard/clockworkmod/backups and it worked fine..only issue so far that I've noticed is the lack of Bluetooth connectivity with or without wifi on it doesn't allow it I know its the same antenna but perhaps different drivers?

Loving it.other than that
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] strictlyrude27:
I guess I should have clarified - I meant /system, /data, etc. Thanks! (You mean the NT uses MTD, not that the original Nook used MTD? ;o )

I had this error installing today's free game (the mini golf one) but installing Fruit Ninja from Amazon's store went just fine. Not sure why one worked and not the other.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] strictlyrude27:
If someone could join me in #nook-tablet on Freenode to help me understand the edify-scripting, it would be much appreciated. I have a couple questions that will likely get lost in the noise here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
sudo file-roller just opens the archive manager with SU permissions. Need to hit Open and select the system.ext4.tar to load it. Then extract away!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
You've got a very good point there, I'm back on the 20th so I'll release it then just to be safe :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] knuckhead:
Somehow I don't believe that is what angusj meant to say.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Well even if it wasn't quite what he meant it was still a very sensible suggestion which I hadn't really thought about.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
I am indeed SAD. :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Aleq:
Or maybe the opposite, perhaps? Release to make peace of mind and then run away, don't look back :D

OH nooo :eek: I hope/pray you are kidding ;)

EDIT: Let us be your testers for the time of your leave :) It's still going to be an alpha after all, isn't it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Elmar1801:
Thats ok. Current Version is running fine. Go for your holidays. Have a great time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jznomoney:
Yea it is still alpha and I'd rather be testing the internal version. Even if it still has bugs I'd rather be running an internal version that has hardware acceleration. At least when you come back you'll have some feedback waiting for you :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Have a nice holiday! You deserve your time off!:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
I say release the hounds. alpha... at your own risk.

also, is there any plan on doing a multiboot cwm? (I know this is even before getting the SD final alpha so be gentle with me) lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
release it now?

So the internal one will void the warranty and the SD one will not. Is my understanding correct?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
what are the changes made between the public alpha and the final alpha? and... is it still alpha? or is this now beta? or a final release... I am confused.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
I personally hope it is the final release and they are all gonna go work on cm9 and the 3.x kernel. I can't tel you how hard that was to pull myself away to go back to cm7. Even with the no hd vids and no 3d graphics I still might go back. The gingerbread is stale but stable whereas the ice cream is delicious but melty.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
Hi Albert

As I understand it, this release is alpha final. Next release will be beta or RC. I see your point though, not all on same page it seems.

Swyped from my Nook CM7a-Final using Tapatalk
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Elmar1801:
I'm a little bit disappointed. I have tried 3 times (clear everything, install new cm7, clear everything, install gapps, redownload zip). System is slow and laggy even after 20 minutes of waiting.

- no Reboot to recovery option

- still sod

- long boot time (slower than last alpha)

- no oc

So i am back to old CM7 alpha 12 and wait for things to come.
