Yeah, I set my wifi always on and I have a live wall paper.

Battery life has gone down a little for me, but not too significant. I do have my brightness set low. I'm charging my nook now, and will be testing with "wifi off when screen off" tomorrow to see if there is really any big difference.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antonyfl:
Whats stranger is that for my recovery to mount SD card it has to reboot to recovery from cwm a couple times.

Regarding stability and battery life, things seemed a lot more stable and longer lasting in the first build
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ehoggan:
I have my wifi turned on all the time and I don't see any issues with battery life. With moderate use, mine lasts for several days. It sounds like it's highly dependent upon what apps folks are running.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antonyfl:
I'm stock, simply watching YouTube and using stock launcher and browser. Before I could easily get 7to 8 hours of display time. I barely get 4 now... I did wipe before I installed.

Phone idleas well as cell standby eat up a lot, and airplane mode Doesn't help when u need wifi
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, I followed your procedure and lost about 9-10% overnight, which I guess isn't too bad. WiFi turned right on as soon as I woke it up this morning. I'll give it a try like this for a few days. Thanks for the tip.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jotekman:
If it helps, I tried tinkering with it a little more, and noticed that I can replicate the bug nearly every time if I push a book to the device with calibre, whether I send it to internal memory or SD card. Also, the power button turns the screen off and back on, and when unplugged and plugged back in, the computer still recognizes the device. As if the screen were locked up and the touch wasnt working, though the N button doesn't do anything either in that situation.

Battery life seems superb here.

Thanks for the hard work. The device is a pleasure to use.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cosmic06:
I was having the same issue. At least once a day. Odd part was my wifi was working fine until the first SOD. After that I started having wifi issue. I would have to manually connect everytime I turned it on. If I remember correctly before this happened wifi was set to sleep but after the first time I told it to never sleep.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Thanks for the info - good to know ADE recognizes CM7 Nook Tablets. I'm guessing that the inconsistency is either due to what you mentioned or the fact ADE seems quite picky about when it recognizes a device.

I actually have a few Oceanhouse Media books already. In several ways I find them to be superior to Barnes and Noble's offerings as they highlight the words being read - a great addition if you are using the narration feature. I was just hoping to also be able to use the offerings in the B&N store as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
I flashed this over yesterday and everything went well but I was getting fairly frequent "android.process.media stopped" errors.

This morning I changed out my 16g Sandisk Class 4 card with a 4G Patriot Class 10 card, and have not received an error in the past hour. This is counter to the experience with the NC, where the Sandisk cards were preferable to higher class cards since they had faster dynamic seeks.

I would be interested in if this will be the case for the ROM on SD approach to be delivered later.

I will continue to monitor and see if it was the card or something else.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Probably idea for such an increase in battery usage is that hardware decode acceleration is not functioning so your cpu is working flat out decoding the video. this problem will eb cured in the next release ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Has there been any talk of when ROM on SD (dual boot) will be available?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Not yet but it's just about ready I just have to make a distributable version now to be honest, we might actually skip the current version on SD and go straight to the updated version which will be out next.

Once we’ve done that the internal and SD version will probably get released together n the future
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Great. Appreciate all your work and will contribute somehow when the SD version for NT16 is out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Thanks, when it is released it will work on both the 16gb and the new 8gb :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
I can't waiting to see your great job on hardware decoding
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kelvin911:
i got problem on internet video streaming...all video opened in browser,youtube and any other video apps have lagging problem...the video lags in every 2-3 srconds and i had wiped the data and reinstall flash both dont help..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jznomoney:
Video acceleration isn't 100‰ yet. I believe it's started in the bug list already.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jon.01:
Attached two log files from dmesg regarding dropping wifi connections. For me it has gotten so bad it won't reconnect after disabling and reenabling or even restarting. Had to reflash.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bingoz:
Try to restart the router, i think it would solve the issue w/o reflash.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fjhuerta:
A few pages back I mentioned I had an issue with Google Market being *Extremely* slow.

As it turns out, it's a problem many people seem to be having in every device. I fixed it by downloading SetDNS and pointing it to Google's servers. Problem solved :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mrvoidman:
Wifi: Turning off...

Yes, like others I have the WiFi shutdown issue:

Steps:

1. Connect to a WiFi router

2. Put the nook to sleep

3. Wake it up an hour or more later

4. The nook is not connected to my router. The WiFi settings checkbox is stuck on "Turning off..."

5. I must reboot in order to get wifi back

6. The device does not complete shutting down so I have to hold the power button down to force it.

This happens multiple times a day.

Keeping WiFi on all day is not a solution for a tablet on the road.

This is a real nuisance. Otherwise the latest release is amazing!

Are these bugs kept in Bugzilla or the like? How can I help? Could some one point me to the code? I'm not deeply familiar with the Android platform but, I am a C++/Java developer, I'd be happy to inspect the code for bugs. Perhaps there's an exception not being caught somewhere in the shutdown logic...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
I installed swype beta and selected it in my settings mode, it does not seem to work on my keyboard. Has anyone got swype working with cm7?

Also, any issues with freezing cardock and the phone apps with TB?

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
Swype works fine for me in CM7. Haven't bothered with any of the phone related parts. They aren't bothering me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Can't say about the others, but I'm Swyping this right now. Did you try to install it using the crazy B&N workaround way? You shouldn't have to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vegasden:
Ditto on Swype. Works fine for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
I reinstalled the app, Swyping now! Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] azuretech:
Anxiously wanting to install cm7 on my wife's nt.... but she primarily uses the e reader..... If I install, will the stock nook reader app be lost? If so, will the book reader app in the Android market get her her b&n purchased books readable on the device with cm7? Is it possible to restore the stock reader app from backup while keeping cm7?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chelsea_fc:
Is the next version will be based on cm 7.2?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
When we release the next version we are hoping to update the CM version at the same time. WE're not guaranteeing it but we will be trying.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] css771:
There has to be some error in battery reporting. My NT shuts down at 10-20% not at 0. And while charging it jumps straight from 92 to 100%.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
Also have noticed this as well as digitizer going crazy before shut down
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jon.01:
Need a ladder to reach campus AP's, probably get arrested in the process too =P

Extra .DS_Store files in ROM zip file

This is for CelticWebSolutions or Indirect (whomever is putting together the ROM zip file). Looks like a couple of extra Mac resource files (".DS_Store" and ".WiFiBackupCalibration") slipped into the current beta release (CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip). Just a friendly reminder to strip those out in your next release. Keep up the great work!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmandawg:
Does anyone else have an issue with the Music app crashing (either google music or winamp) seems to happen when the screen is off for a while.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
My observations

An amazing job on this rom. Thanks to everyone involved, including the testers.

I have only seen 2 issues and they have been covered many times.

1. battery life - I left my wifi options set as it installed so I may be to blame.

2. wifi hangs on wake-up. This has been mentioned before but may help someone if covered again. When it hangs I turn on wifi analyzer (from the market - free) and within 30 seconds everything is ok again. This is the only thing I do about wifi hangs and it has not failed me.

as a note I still have the mac address that the NT shipped with

Thanks again everyone, this is a great rom even as it stands. We have gone from "Read Forever" to "compute forever".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yzfrone:
xiialive along with Droidlive

Crashes...after 60 seconds of streaming music from radio stations.

Another weird thing noticed,

go to crackle.com

watch a movie..flash based like youtube. Runs smoothly though
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
I haven't experienced the wifi hang after sleep that others are reporting. I suspect that there is an app that is causing the conflict, as I've let mine go to sleep many times and it still does not hang.

Would it be too much trouble for someone experiencing the issue to go back to fresh flash install and not load all of your apps back? See if that still hangs. That way we might be able to isolate if it's an app, configuration or settings, or even different hardware versions (although not likely).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I'll be happy to do as you ask and report my findings.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sw339:
I noticed that too a little. And the charger light turns green for me at 97% rather than 100%. Not sure if that's a Nook Tablet thing or a CM7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Ok I am now running barefoot.

1. reboot into CWM

2. wipe Dalvik

3. wipe data

4. Install CM7

If this is correct we are go. If not please direct me.

I'll report on wifi problems if any.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
1. Boot into CWM

2. Flash CM7

3. Wipe Cache partition

4. Wipe data if you want, but shouldn't be necessary
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
A reply for request to reinstall CM7 without other apps

I'm sorry I am just learning this site and didn't realize how to properly reply to request.

The request was to install CM7 alone and wait for wifi problems if any. An attempt to determine whether user apps were causing the problem and if so which ones could be pinpointed.

thanks and sorry for improperly responding
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
I very rarely ever have any of the problems other people have with this particular version of CM7. My wifi hasn't gone wonky in 2+ weeks. I am currently testing an overclocked build and my battery life has still been fairly awesome. We are currently awaiting another build from Celtic and Gonce with an updated wifi driver I believe. But both have been busy lately so patience must be exercised so as to not rush out a buggy build.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
Maybe it's me...

Been using this for a week now and I have zero problems with this build. No FC. No video problems - other than movies not playing in HW mode in MK but they didn't play in HW on the stock rom. My wifi is solid. No problems whatsoever.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sw339:
I don't seem to have issues with Wifi going nuts anymore. If I do, the easiest fix for me is to go into Wireless Settings and force it to "Forget" my router and let it rescan. I put in my password and it's fine. Far easier than rebooting router and other stuff I have seen people do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I read several posts each day about wifi hangs and problems clearing them. My post was an attempt to provide the method I use which has not failed me.

I certainly was not complaining or rushing anyone.

I could continue to use this rom and be much happier than I was with the stock system. I certainly didn't mean to appear to be complaining or rushing anyone.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] topched:
I've definitely had this issue with TuneIn Radio and the Google Music app. Hasn't happened (yet) with PowerAmp, but we'll see.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
If it's any use I've run Pandora for hours at a time with no problem. I'm also one of the few who don't suffer from wifi problems and if I make it turn off wifi on sleep I can even hear how long the lag is. It takes about 5 minutes before wifi shuts down. Obviously, if I want to stream music for longer I leave it on all the time.

CM7 8gb NT

I have yet to see any threads relating to a walk through of an SD Boot to running CM7 on an 8gb NT,

-does this process currently exist?

-if so, how is it done?

I have seen other posts of people stating they are currently running CM7 on their 8gig NT
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
That is more than likely my fault! I'm the mac user

Hangs head in shame for missing them ..... lol

Thanks for reminding me, they won't be in the next version. It's all being done on a new ubuntu setup now ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
keep waiting for your next version
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] residentorca:
The only thing that caught my eye when installing was this message:

E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

However everything seems to be working well. In fact, very well!

Kudos to the devs for building such a useful "Frankenstein' ROM. Guess it's time to update my signature.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
this error always raise even in stock partition when you wipe data.

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

one question, whether this CM7 can support extFAT format? internal and external.

cause fat32 can't support files larger than 4GB

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] quid246:
This is what I have been seeing as well... After enough hangs the tablet just losses wifi until you reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YordiM:
I have scoured the forums no answer so far.

I read that market installation problems were solved. Although i am able to flash CM7 using cwm , flawlessly. However when i try to d/l anything from the market i am unable to d/l anything. I have tried fixing permission. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
you can try flash CMW for more times, and then wipe data, this will fix the SD card readonly issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YordiM:
Still no go

I reflashed cwm and still nothing. Whenever i try to download something it says not able to download it due to error.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
Have you tried clearing data and cache from market app from the Manage Apps area? If not, try that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, I seem to somehow have turned my screen brightness completely off. I may have added "auto" to the power widget brightness settings on accident. I was scrolling through them and the screen went completely blank (not even the backlight is on). Now I can't do anything. I've rebooted, and have cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache, but as soon as the CM7 splash screen disappears, the screen goes black.

Any ideas (short of a complete reinstall)? I have tried touching the places where the unlock screen and power widget should be.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
On my NT, even set to auto, it is just at its lowest possible setting. I can still see everything.. You can see everything in recovery ok though?

My only suggestion for that would be to reflash (only wiping cache partition after flashing) and see if that makes any difference.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Thanks ... I'm about to try that. Making a backup first. I seem to recall that the current version automatically wipes data, no? I guess I'll find out shortly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
I didn't have a SD card for my Nook, so I loaded the CM7 files on to the SD card for my phone and then moved the card to the Nook. Everything worked great on the Nook. I moved the card back to my phone, deleted all of the files, now the

16GB card only has 70MB. I formatted the card without any changes. Did I ruin my card or is there a way to get all of the memory back.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
It says it does, but I have reflashed and haven't lost any current data.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Try the card in a reader in your PC and reformat it there. (If windows can't manage it, use a live cd of ubuntu and use gparted.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Either method use will require you to delete that 70MB partition and any others that show. Then when you reformat the card it will be normal 16GB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Didn't work ... any other suggestions? The current brightness must be stored in the data partition, right? Any thoughts on modifying that in my backup and then restoring?

Edit: I guess that wouldn't work becuase the md5 wouldn't match ...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YordiM:
winner winner

got it thanx, now to figure out how to sideload hulu and life will be perfect.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
If you have the apk, just open up a file manager and navigate to its location and install. If you need the app, I *think* Goncezilla posted a link to it somewhere in this thread I believe. Might be a link in the 'must-have sideload apps' thread in the theme and app section.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So I wiped data, and everything booted up fine. Then I rebooted into CWM and restored data, and back to the black screen. :(

Guess I'll have to restore from my last TiBu backups. Bummer.

Anyone know of an app I could install from the web that would immediately make the screen brightness change?

Edit: FIXED IT! Not sure what I did, but I just poked around a bit and got the screen to come back on. Whew!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
It may be over my head to repartition the card. I will make the two CDs and see what happens.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
you can try remove your adjust apk application through CMW adb, i think it's apk's bug not related to CM7, cause i use several apps set to auto, nothing wrong happened.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newskate9:
I've recently discovered two things. The NT sucks. And ROM'ing is cool and completely possible if one follows directions! :D

I've rooted my wife's NT, had to rinse/repeat with 1.4.2 cause I didn't follow through with blocking the first time! All is well now. The base NT ROM though is bad at best and even with ADW EX on it, I'm just not feeling the love that I get on my Xoom, etc.

I saw this thread in Albert's vids and started reading. The ONLY thing holding me back right now is the video conversation. My wife uses her NT with our grandson to watch movies and read "live" books. I'm not so worried about the books, but am the movies - she's about to go on a trip and if she can't watch movies, or use NETFLIX, here will be hell to pay.

I see recent progress on video playback - will this be updated to the ROM soon? How good is MP4 playback now? Netflix?

I should just try it and find out myself because I can redo it! But I thought I'd ask first.

Thanks, everyone.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
I bet if you poked around a bit, there is a settings.db file generated. If that were to be deleted, all of your settings would revert back to default when a new one is built. (this is only a guess, but it makes sense in my head...and it's early)

The next version will include video fixes. The devs are busy at the moment. Be patient. There will NEVER be an ETA posted. It will be here when it gets here. It hasn't even been in testing yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
While we really don't recommend it, if you have the sd in your NT and you go into storage and click format SD it will totally wipe it removing all parttitions and put it back as one partition filling the whole SD.

I'd backup as much as you can before doing it though incase there is a problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I followed your suggestion to run CM7 with no added apps to verify wifi hang problem. I'm sorry to report that the problem continues.

The only exceptions to the no apps are superuser update and rom manager update done by the market (I had not checked auto updates).

As an added note I have one of those strange NTs that will only boot an sdcard if plugged into the computer usb port after failing the previous boot.

Maybe this will help someone
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sw339:
Something similiar happend me with Comickrack earlier in the week. I reduced the brightness all the way down and got a completely black screen each time I started it up. Thankfully it was only that app. and not my device itself. But I had to reinstall the app for it to fix. Would be handy if there was a brightness control in the recovery section. I can imagine how frustrating it would be to lose all visual due to brightness level.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

It's not a 3rd party app because the issue arose for me before I installed anything at all from the market. It's a Cm7 issue I more likely.

Have you forced your device to "forget" your router then let it rescan? Do this with wifi completely off. It usually trips it back for me. I also have it set to "never sleep".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I agree. Thanks for the reply and added info. I have done this to comply with a previous request to run barefoot to prove whether an app was causing this problem. The method I use to recover is to run wifi analyzer and within 30 seconds my wifi restores itself. This method has yet to fail on my NT whether barefoot or with everything installed as I prefer.

Once again thanks for the added info.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
Thanks for going through the trouble to run a bare system. Not sure why some people, like me, never experience this issue and others, like you, experience it frequently.

We'll see what it looks like on the next build with the updated wifi drivers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
You're welcome. It is the least I could do for such a fantastic build. I would take this over stock if it were left in the current state forever.

I'm trying to learn some scripting at the moment but I am a slow learner so progress has not been great.

Again thanks to everyone involved in this rom, from the testers up to the devs!
