I had a number of hard locks/resets with the OpenGL builds... I have been using non-OpenGL builds for about a month now and haven't experienced a single one.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

Thanks... I restored to an older image earlier this evening, installed your 3/8 build to wipe out Gapps, then installed Gapps package from Goo, and finally installed the 3/12 build... Gapps stuck around through the update this time, so it looks like my problem is solved by using the one from Goo instead of Samiam's install package. Thanks for the help!
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
That has been my experience as well.

Can we flash the without gl over the top of the with gl to fix? I have set it up the way i like but am having quite a few complete reboots.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
I don't know if using the Racks Dualboot ROM has some different elements, but using the same method to overwrite the open gl version with the one that doesn't have it in order to fix random crashes, didn't work.

I wiped also Dalvnik cache, but nothing changed..

Still crashes about email, google process etc. continue in random.

Unleashed from my Revolutionized Desire HD
[Nook Color Android Development] onclebob:
Yeah no problem flashing non gl rom over a gl one. I try sometime the gl to check if it's run better then update to non gl.

About the freeze, I read somewhere that the new gl build don't tweak the egl configuration file (removing of Android 0 0..)

Give it a try..

About deep sleep with take 2 kernel. I flashed it 4 day ago, charged my nook and I have 36% batterie right now.

OK I stop wifi when I go out or to thebed. But I think it is reasonable..
[Nook Color Android Development] RVD26:
I currently have CM7 and am thinking of upgrading to CM9 (ICS).

Will I lose all my settings, apps, etc if I update to a new build?
[Nook Color Android Development] bobtidey:
System settings are different it won't preserve all of those. The launchers for CM9 will normally be different so screen settings and layouts will get lost. If you flash CM9 without wiping /data then most of the apps should be OK, but things can always go wrong so I would have done the following assuming this is an internal install:

a) Take a Nandroid backup of your existing CM7. This will allow to easily and fully retsore your current set up if anything goes wrong or you find you would have preferred to stick with CM7.

b) Make an app level backup using something like Titanium. This allows you to restore apps easily back into CM9.

If you do item b) then my preference for a first time transition from cm7 to cm9 is to wipe the /data partition during the install and then restore those apps from the back up. That way you are starting completely clean plus it gives a housekeeping opportunity to leave out older apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] RVD26:
So essentially all the apps should remain, unless something unexpected were to go wrong, right?
[Nook Color Android Development] attmakesmevomit:
Yes, typically the apps will remain when jumping from CM7 to CM9.
[Nook Color Android Development] airborne3e9:
Also Rockn cm7 and looking to upgrade...did video playback ever get resolved in cm9?
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Rockin an answer to your question. The answer is it depends on what you are rockin as far as video.
[Nook Color Android Development] viogrep:
I had the same question. I have since upgraded to cm9 with opengl. I use cifsmanager to mount a share on my media server on the local network and can watch 720p avi/mp4's pretty easily with MX Player. It's the only video player I've tried, it does the job perfectly. The video I'm watching right now is x264, 1280×528 at 29 fps and it has a FEW jumpy spots but are hard to notice. I do believe this is more from my terrible wifi router's throughput than the device though.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
MX Player will play just about anything using its built-in software decode. The HW acceleration on cm9 is not fully funtional yet, so performance for some formats will not be as smooth as cm7, but it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
The NC will never have 720p hardware decoding since the DSP only supports SD resolutions.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Don't know where you are getting your information, but according to the manufacture of the chipset (Texas Instruments) the POWERVR SGX 530 does

10Mpolys/s, up to 720p resolution.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
A couple of updates to the builds:

1) keyodi pushed his new .59 kernel into the repo so that now becomes our default kernel, please be sure to thank him for all the work he put in, our nooks owe a lot to him! (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24951319#post24951319)

2) However.. for my builds i'm now building the kernel from source and including it the nightlies. See my post in the dev thread for the details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24963509#post24963509
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
so does the 417 build have the new kernel or is that all gonna be in tomorrow's build
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
It's in there..
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:

i checked my egl.cfg file under /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg

it doenst have 0 0 android in it... so perhaps that not the source of my freezing issues.

going to install 4/17 non-OpenGL over my current OpenGL install and see if it helps any (i will also report back about whether 0 0 Android gets added to the egl file...
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
4/19 Build - Something's Changed?!

openGL, 1200mHtz max, force GPU on...

NenaMark2 9.2 which is a significant improvement over previous 7.3 !

NenaMark1 "only" 18.3, which is down slightly?

2316 on AnnTuTu, which is on of the higher scores I've had, and an improvement over yesterday, but not huge.

Quadrant 1715, CPU 1741, Mem 1062, I/O 4295, 2D 509, 3D 968

Looking at my previous tests, 2D is up significantly, and 3D is up somewhat as well...

Anyone care to repeat these tests?
[Nook Color Android Development] archangelz:
I have the same issue as you, went from a non-openGL build to the openGL. Love the increase in performance but the thing freezes once every few hours and reboots.

No line in my egl.cfg either.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
The 0 0 android line was removed in source a while back.

[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
installed 4/17 nonOpenGL over previous OpenGL

wiped dalvik, re-did supercharger v6 configuration

re-charged battery from 30 to 100 percent; sat over night;

tried to use it the next day; was browsing rss feeds via google reader for about 3 minutes before a freeze.

guessing i just need to start over, maybe ill try a clean install from a newer build.
[Nook Color Android Development] viogrep:
I've tried the last 4 builds(as of this post). OpenGL and not. I'm getting pretty regular freezes. Guess I'm gona go back to cm7 for a short while and wait on a few kinks to work themselves out.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
I'm running 0418 non-opengl, and I got a browser freeze last night as I was trying to fall asleep. I plugged in, rebooted, and put down the NC before the bootanim got very far, and went to sleep.

When I woke up, seven hours later, CPU Spy reported 5:30 of deep sleep. This was AC plugged, with WiFi always on and connected, and background updates clearly happened (K-9, BeyondPod). Now, the prevailing opinion seems to be that we shouldn't be getting deep sleep in this situation, and I usually don't see it unless I've just booted and put down the device. I reliably get lots of deep sleep when I'm out of WiFi range.

Just a data point, really, but it contradicts opinion I've seen expressed here.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
With CM7 the device never went into deep sleep while plugged into A/C, but it does seem to sleep with CM9 in that situation.

[Nook Color Android Development] KingJL:
On your browser freeze... Do you have "force gpu rendering" checked? If you do, you will get random/occaisional freeze.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I don't have any trouble downloading eyeballer's non-opengl zips directly to my nook. I do it everyday. But I have a very fast internet connection here at home. Last week I was on the road and used a lot of guest wifi locations that were fairly slow. I had some trouble then. They would stall or time out sometimes.
[Nook Color Android Development] runemail:
I have wiped and flashed the latest three nightlies and I have not been able to establish a connection to my encrypted Wifi, but can connect to my unencrypted mobile hotspot. Flashed back to Cm7 and connected without any issues so I guess it has to be related to this rom.

Tried to search but did not find a solution.

Hope this helps:

[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Nope, I unchecked that a few weeks ago. The browser freezes happen only every few days. I do have "Show touches" enabled (very handy), but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] EAK128:
It might have to do with "WiFiAdhoc = 1" line in your tiwlan.ini file, you should change it to WiFiAdhoc = 0
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
So, i am hoping that a poor old mod could get some friendly advice. ;-)

While i love CM9, i just cannot get over how laggy it is. I feel like i have exhausted my tweaks (OCed @ 1200, perf gov, v6 tweaks, . 59 kernel. Perhaps it is my jaded memories, but CM7 never felt this bad.

For what its worth, i am running on emmc, open gl build from 4/4 (going to try a new build tonight). I see that a majority of people are downloading the gl builds, so i assumed that was the better build...

Advice?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Devine_Madcat!!! :D

Apart from flash working & wallpaper scroll... the non-opengl builds are much smoother. Give that a go, and I'm sure you'll be pleased and surprised at how much smoother it is.

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Will do... And nice to see ya still kicking around. ;-)

For my nook use, flash and wallpaper scroll are meaningless,... I want smooth!
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
I upgraded from an older build to one just a couple days ago. Wow, big difference.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Racks, wallpaper scroll now works on non-opengl versions too. I agree with you, the few benefits of opengl do not make up for the performance hit it brings. Non-opengl is almost as good as CM7.

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Seconded and thirded. My feeling is that the OpenGL builds were really just being made to sate curiosity, and for those who just can't live w/o flash.

I've only flashed those for testing purposes. I can't really take it for more than an hour.

Non-OpenGL is a better daily driver than CM7 now, IMO. With keyodi's kernel commits, I don't have anything left I truly miss.

Edit: and with MX Player set to software decoding and YouTube playing HQ videos, I include flashplayer on the list of things I don't miss. There aren't many internet videos I can't watch, and the ICS advances are more than worth it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Well, i must say people are correct (which begs the question, why do the OGL builds have 2-3x the downloads?!).. the non GL builds are much better.. i like!
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
People (myself included) see opengl as a sign of better hardware acceleration and don't fully realize just how much better non-gl performance really is! Liking the nongl version of Cm9
[Nook Color Android Development] yelloguy:
I switched to open-gl builds pretty much since they came out and have never looked at non-open-gl builds. This discussion is quite surprising since I am very happy with my late march open-gl build as a daily driver. The only problem I have is the shorter battery life compared to CM7. But then, I don't watch videos on my NC. Just some Kindle and EZ-PDF apps. And Chrome browser.
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Well, shoot, I wish I'd tried the non-gl versions sooner!

The only thing that I'm really struggling with now is rotation and an inability to keep the display in portrait mode. I went through the settings in Display to adjust the rotation, but turning them off simply locks the display in landscape.

Also, seeing all kinds of apps refusing to allow installation from the Market, claiming incompatibility, which were installable in the gl version and in CM7. I tried the telephony permission flashable zip but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any ideas?

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Since you use the phone gui there is a setting which will allow you to lock the rotation in whatever orientation you want. Go to settings/system/notification drawer/widget buttons. There you can select 'toggle orientation'. That adds a button to the notitification area when you pull down the status bar. It allows you to lock orientation in the position it is in at the time. This setting is only available in the phone gui in CM9. The same setting is available in CM7.

The market compatibilty issue is because you set your density to 180, not because of non-opengl. 180 is a non-standard dpi and market will not show many apps with it set there. The solution is to temporarily go back to 160 or 240 to access market. Both are standard resolutions. Then once you have your app, go back to 180.

PS: You mentioned earlier that you are starting fresh with your installs, having to resetup google, etc. I hope that was just while you were debugging the installation of my patch. Ordinarily, the only thing you should do before flashing a new ROM is wipe dalvik cache.
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Yes to one, no to the other. I was able to lock orientation the way you described, but changing to 160 DPI didn't reenable the apps for me. Since I'm noticing other anomalies I'm chalking up to a bad flash and starting over again.

I almost always do it from scratch, coming from a LG Optimus V where that is the recommended way to do stuff. If I have a good nandroid sometimes I try to upgrade but usually I don't have good luck with that.
[Nook Color Android Development] ppcfly:
So, I am having the same problem. I try opening going to the tiwlan.ini file in astro, edit it in text editor, and then save. However, it doesn't change... when I go back and check, it is still set to "= 1". This is driving me nuts... can anyone help?

I even tried to change it in the installation zip prior to re-flashing, and that didn't work either for some reason. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: So, Root Explorer tells me I cannot edit tiwlan because the file system is read-only. Now what?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Change the file system to r/w. Do that by touching the button at the top of the screen to toggle it.

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Start just wiping davlik and don't look back. Your experience will improve immensely.

They have changed the install script for CM, this is all that is needed. No restoring apps, no flashing gapps, no setting up a home screen. It takes ten minutes, tops.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Waitaminnit... why isn't that available in the tablet gui? I've been really missing the "power notification widget" from CM7, and you're saying it's only there in phone mode? Whywhywhy?

Thanks for clarifying this! I've been wiping the cache partition as well...
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
The latest 4/22 builds posted include the option for UMS (cm7-like USB mass storage). It's in settings-storage-menu-usb computer connection.

Thanks again to keyodi for his work on this :)
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, but does it work for you? It's been there for a while, but does not work for me.

[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Did you actually try it? It was enabled last night.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
I updated from 0421 to 0422, non-opengl, conservative governor, and now my audio has little hiccups. I went back to 0421, and the problem didn't reappear. Is this happening to anybody else?

The audio source was BeyondPod, but it uses the built-in player.

I'm going to give 0422 another try, but there wasn't anything special about the process load that I can think of.

EDIT: back to 0422, same download, and all is fine. Dunno what caused the original effect.
[Nook Color Android Development] cincibluer6:
Thanks eyeballer for the builds. The latest ones (within the last week) have been great. A couple freezes every now and then but battery life has greatly improved, along with performance.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Awwwww snizzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps!! UMS working great here.. I rather prefer this over MTP. Thanks guys!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Like I said, it's been there for a few days. Mine's grayed out. Do you have to connect first?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Like I said. It's enabled in the latest 4/22 builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Sorry, but I'm running 4/22 (non-opengl), and it's still grayed out.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
There's two sets of 4/22 builds, you need the LATEST.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Ok, downloading...

Well, I've had the "starting" progress bar in the notification for three minutes now... fail.

Why is it so hard to download from techerrata?

My second try actually started... nope, bad md5. This is a Bad Thing.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Must be something on your end, your internet connection, your wifi router or your download device. I just downloaded it from techerrata in under two minutes (directly to my nook, via wifi) And it was perfect. Granted, I have a fast connection, but techerrata delivered it smoothly.

Edit: Got it working. Thanks Eyeballer. The change must have been to the framework as it would not work until I updated my patch for softkeys. Uploaded newest patch to my thread.

There is a form of this in the tablet gui by default too. Tap on the clock then again on the clock popup and you get a scrollable list of settings toggles. Turning off the toggle for auto-rotate screen locks the interface whichever mode you're currently in. Screenshot here
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Then why do half of my downloads get the download page instead of the zip? If the supposed zipfile is 4.somethingK, you got a web page instead of a zip (take a look). Can't arrange that on my end.

And I'm downloading directly, as well, using the stock browser.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I use Dolphin browser and have my user agent set to desktop. That could be the difference.

When I download there, I get a countdown of 10 seconds followed by a pop-up asking if I want to download the file by name. Your browser might not be rendering that pop-up and downloading it as the file.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
Yep, same here with Dolphin set to "Android" (the default UA)
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
nevermind... I had a moment.
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Okay, I gotta ask...

I'm currently running Eyeballer's build without opengl from 4/20 no other patches besides the softkey mod by leapinlar. My understanding is that flash doesn't work on the non-opengl versions of Cm9, correct? But I went ahead and installed it anyway from the market and hit up newgrounds.com, expecting a crash or something, but everything worked just fine! I'm using Opera if that matters?

I have a nandroid and am upgrading to the latest for the ability to have usb mass storage, but am hoping not to lose this unexpected ability to run flash on CM9.... I'll probably restore the current install if that happens.

I have to say that I am beyond amazed at how much better this is than the opengl builds.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I am running eyeballers 4/22 non-opengl and that site comes up but plays no videos (using Dolphin). It plays fine on CM7 and my Galaxy Tab with flash.

BTW, if you want the UMS to work on 4/22 and my softkey patch, you need to use my latest patch with it to get UMS.

Edit: I installed Opera Mini and tried and it still did not work. I then installed Opera Mobile and it played the videos. I think you have stumbled onto something great. I have a flash settings link from adobe that I tried and it worked also. Try this link:

http://settings.adobe.com/flashplayer/mobile

It opens and runs in Opera Mobile.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Opera has the capability of playing some flash content. It is the only browser I have found running non-opengl that plays some video. It is working on the 4/22 build for me as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] scottx .:
Is that the cause of the freezes most of us experience? I went back to cm7 because the freezing was more than i could take.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Yep, worked great for me this morning. Wow, that's so much better than the alternatives!

Will do!
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Could I get a link to the patch? I am on the latest (AFAIK, will check if updated since last night) and the option is still greyed out for me. Or did you mean your phone GUI soft keys patch, because I'm already running that. Not sure if maybe I missed a post somewhere....

Thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes I meant my 4/22 softkey patch.

Thanks for the info about Opera Mobile running flash while still running non-opengl. Now the only thing I miss is Netflix with CM9. And that will come someday, I'm sure.

I like having the option of UMS on CM9 now. The only thing I did not like about MTP was certain files were hidden from you. It was like the newer Windows operating systems (XP and above) denying access to certain files and folders. Like we have to be protected from our own stupidity. I hate that! Not that we all can't do something stupid once in a while, I just don't like being dictated to and restricted like that. That's what the original root restrictions on android were for too.
