Huh. I ran the earlier version of the patch without noticing any issues. I guess I got lucky?

Glad the info about Opera Mobile was useful to you, sorry for not specifying the fact it was the mobile version I was talking about.

Haven't tested it out yet, but I'm happy to have UMS back again as well, seeing as how I mostly run Linux these days. I really don't understand why Google wants to throw away one of the better features of Android just to make it more difficult to use...
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Opera is a proxying browser; all of your pages are massaged by their servers on their way to your NC, so they can (and do, I expect) recode at least some video on the way by.
[Nook Color Android Development] frankusb:
Opera Mini does render on their servers, Opera Mobile does not by default.

[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
This is not the Opera you are looking for....
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Oh, the earlier softkey patch still worked OK without crashing, it's just that the new UMS feature would not work without the latest patch.
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Glad I updated then. I have some questions about the patch, but I'll ask them over in your thread so as to not pollute this one with off topic chatter.

USB Mass Storage doesn't appear to work with my Mac. It's not a big deal since MTP works quite well with the Android File Transfer app for OS X.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
hmm... works on my mac.. did u enable it in the storage settings menu?
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Sigh. Once again I'm out of date.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Not the same thing. I mostly miss the media buttons. I keep having to go to the home screen (media buttons widgets) and often lose context, depending on the app.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Yes I did. I get the prompt to turn on USB storage and it then says 'USB storage in use', but I don't see the icon for the SD card on the screen of the mac.
[Nook Color Android Development] psychoace:
Opera does not recompense video. Just like ssl content the information bypasses the server and sent straight to the browser

Downloading Nightly Updates Directly to SD Card

:o I have a question, which after using CM7 and now CM9 for over a year, is embarrassing: I saw a lot of people are downloading the nightlys directly to the SD card and assume they are afterward upgrading in recovery mode reboot. Where do you put the zip file for this? I have only access to the right place when ejecting the SD and connecting to the PC via card reader (the partition named boot).

With this occasion, thanks to devs and the whole community for the wonderful work on this fine ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
I don't quite understand what you are asking. Though I'll try and help.

When downloading the newest nightlies from the browser, they are saved either in "Downloads" or "downloads" on your sdcard. From there is where they are installed from. Now a cool thing you can do is after you download it and it says complete, you can simply tap on the download itself, then choose to install with ROM Manager in the next pop up. Then just select wipe dalvik cache and reboot to recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You have obviously installed to your SD or you would not be asking the question this way. Ordinarily ejecting the card and putting it in the PC is the standard way of putting the zip on your boot partition so it can be installed. However I have developed a method of having access to the boot partition without removing the card. This how people are downloading to the nook, copying to the boot partition and rebooting to install without removing the card. See my post here:

I think you could create an own thread where you're gonna post all your important posts like this one, as they're spread into different threads for now and you always have to get the direct links.

Thanks for putting that much effort into our nook :-)
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I've been thinking about doing just that. You've convinced me to go ahead and work on it. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] MechaGen:
I'd certainly follow that thread. I appreciate your work and value your opinion.
[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:
Doesn't the latest CWMR allow you to flash a zip in the SD card SD partition or the emmc internal partition? I've been using rack's dualboot SD setup, and I never need to install from the /boot partition. In fact, I keep all my flashable zips in a folder on the emmc so that I can flash to SD test cards, pull them out, and flash to my operating SD if everything's good.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
No. Racks specially modifies the install zips so that they install themselves to his dual boot SD setup using the standard CWM recovery. If you are using the verygreen SD setup you must still put the standard, non-SD modified zips into the boot partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Out of curiosity.. are there many of you using Goo Manager with TWRP/CWM and updating every day/night? Or do most of you skip a few days?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I had been downloading yours every day, but not always with goo manager. And I have the verygreen SD setup so I never used CWM. I may not be typical since I do it to make sure my softkey patch still works each day.

But I finally got my new laptop outfitted with Ubuntu dual boot and yesterday I managed to build my own. Yay! But after seeing what it takes to roll your own, I will probably keep downloading yours every day. Thanks for doing this for us.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
The first ones the only hard one to build. An easy script would set you up with your own build in no time. The subsequent builds take almost no time at all. Although if you build a bot, you could set it to clobber anyway, since it may just build while you sleep.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Who makes up these things anyway, I can brunch, lunch, bacon, clobber or bot. LOL.
[Nook Color Android Development] J515OP:
I use GooM with CWM and only download every couple of days. It is nice to have GooM tell me an update to the ROM/Google Apps is available though. Since these are nightlies I pretty much have a persistent notification in the bar :)
[Nook Color Android Development] micl9:
Lovin Goo! (and TWRP)

Not quite every night, sometimes as little as once a week
[Nook Color Android Development] TheValk:
Goo and TWRP are a very handy combination.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I finally gave GooManager a try this morning. It found a MD5 mismatch with the non-OpenGL version of 0426 but worked fine with OpenGL and the latest Gapps. I'll probably keep using it (not necessarily daily).
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Loaded the latest nightly 426 and could not boot, do I need to format all partitions to install?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
OK, I created it. It is in Nook Color General, here.
[Nook Color Android Development] raymondtan85:
Hi, i'm pretty new into Android development. I'm using the CM9 on my NC, and currently working on some simple app development. I have problem in getting the USB debugging working on my Win7 machine, however using Wi-Fi is fine.

In the device manager, it's detected as Portable Devices and having the hardware id of

USB\VID_18D&PID_2D03&REV_0216 and USB\VID_18D&PID_2D03. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks :)
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, look at my referenced post one back. There is a tip on how to get the adb drivers working in windows.

For those that aren't following twitter..

[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Edit the inf file for your adb driver to include:

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D03
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D03&MI_01

Then reinstall the drivers.
[Nook Color Android Development] velizet:
I was never succesfull using the goomanager. It is either md5 mismatch, or partial downloads.

I download to the PC, and copy to the sdcrad every few days.

Today's Daily Update?

No daily update today 27 Apr 12?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, some people say it fixes that md5 issue.

It's up on techerrata. We broke some stuff with the goo app in testing the incremental updates, should be fixed later today.
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
Yes, downloading now.. thanks.

How do I help test the incremental update capability?
[Nook Color Android Development] RVD26:
Netflix?

Does Netflix not work on CM9?

I updated a friend's NC from CM7 to CM9 and now he is saying Netflix will not work.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Not yet, at least.
[Nook Color Android Development] TheValk:
Yes Netflix works on CM7 not CM9.
[Nook Color Android Development] afzalarsalan:
I have just noticed that there is now an option in default CM9 to make /emmc the default storage for apps, media, etc. I finally have a way to use that space decently without wasting it.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
ReverendJKR posted a great video on TWRP and Goo Manager: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA0S275XO3U

He uses the HP TouchPad for the demo but the nook color is fully supported with my nightlies. And the incremental updates feature is coming soon for those who like to update daily. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
And incremental updates are live! Update Goo Manager in the play store (v2.0.4).

Currently incremental updates will ONLY be offered by the app when attempting to update from the previous night's build. If you miss a night, you'll have to flash the full rom, then incrementals will be available again. Incremental updates are 35-40mb (depending on how much changes of course) vs a full 120mb nightly. They also don't format /system each flash like a full rom does. So faster downloads, faster flashes and less wear on the flash memory of your device.

Please note:

1) This feature is still experimental, please let me know if you hit any issues.

2) Incremental updates will work with CWM but require handing off or manually flashing. If you use TWRP the updates happen at the press of a button.. TWRP offers the best user experience. You can install TWRP via goo manager by going to menu-install openscriptrecovery.

3) This is only for emmc setups not sdcard installs

Huge huge thanks to s0up for making this possible!
[Nook Color Android Development] neuroval:
Is it possible to switch from samiam03's nightlies and eyeballer's nightlies without losing data/apps/settings? As in, can I just flash eyeballer's nightly over samiam03's on my sd card install?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Those two are interchangeable. Flash one over the other with no problems. All data, apps and settings stay. But use the SD card installer, not CWM recovery or TWRP. I'm not sure how the incremental will work with SD installs, I'm hoping they will work. Sounds like they should.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Yes, you can switch between them as you like.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
When I go from eyeballer to Sam's, I lose my gapps. And everytime I flash after that until I restore a backup. Not from Sam to eyeballer, though.

I'm sure there is an easy solution, but instead of looking for it, I just use eyeballers if I need an update zip stat. Better to use regularly clobbered builds anyway, the prebuilts are up to date.
[Nook Color Android Development] incubus26jc:
Thanks eyeballer, this is great. 2 questions.

1. If i go to twrp manually to install zips, it doesnt seem to properly show my sd card files. it says im looking at the sd dir but shows emmc folders?

2. When i install zips from the goo app, if i check to install gapps and rom at the same time. does it matter that it installs the gapps before the rom? doesnt seem to have an issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
1. Look under the mounts menu and change the radio button to external sdcard. TWRP can support both internal and external memory

2. It shouldnt really matter but you can order the files in the goo app before you hit flash.
[Nook Color Android Development] incubus26jc:
ahh thanks. that worked.

btw, thanks for everything. stuff that was driving me crazy before seem to be fixed, such as lockscreen being landscape on a reboot by default is now portrait like i want :)

Open gl seems to run great for me as well. Not sure what you did since 4/20 (my last update) but homescreen transition and everything else is butter smooth now.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
The incremental update works great on SD installs. The zip was about 38MB instead of the normal 122MB.

Use GooManager to get it for you and download to your device. It is named 'diff_update-cm...' so you need to remove the diff_ from the beginning of the name and place the zip in your boot partition. Then boot to the verygreen recovery like doing any ROM update. It will install perfectly. But make sure you are updating eyeballer's ROM from the day before. (GooManager won't show it as an available update if it is not the right version).

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Does anyone know how to get a look at the incremental updates if you aren't running eyeballer's rom? I have searched goo manager and browsed through techerrata and yet I can't seem to find it.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I think they are not on the open public server. You could flash eyeballers ROM from yesterday, then use goo to update it.

It is a pretty simple zip. Just things in /system that have changed. And the install script mounts /system and /boot in emmc and copies things directly there without wiping anything.

ui_print("Goomanager Incremental Updater");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");
mount("vfat", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/boot");
ui_print("Deleting old files...");
ui_print("Extracting /system files...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print("Installing new boot image...");
package_extract_file("MLO", "/boot/MLO");
package_extract_file("kernel", "/boot/uImage");
package_extract_file("ramdisk.img", "/boot/uRamdisk");
unmount("/boot");
unmount("/system");

[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Haha.. we hid them on purpose so people wouldn't go downloading them and trying to update from a non-compatible rom. :p

But as leapinlar pointed out when you use goo manager it'll be downloaded into the /goomanager folder.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Yeah, I can feel that. I just wanted to see what would change in the install process. I have been building my own and am running a build from today so I was hoping I wouldn't have to flash three times today to try changes I have on the device already.

But I see where you're coming from, safety first. :p

Edit: and besides, its worth it. This is cool stuff, no mistake.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
So both With and Without open gl... this seems to drain my battery when idling on the order of 4 or 5 days. From 100% to won't turn on dead.

When using CM 7 roms I get more like... over a month of idle time before it's dead.

Is this some kind of massive kernel issue or some kind of terrible settings that won't turn off or what?
[Nook Color Android Development] gumnaam.sur:
Same here

+1, Same here. On some nightlys I've had the battery drain out in < 24 hours.
[Nook Color Android Development] friedsonjm:
Used it and TWRP today.. worked like a charm...thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
+1 as well

running non-openGL and i have airplane mode enabled typically, so its no the wifi draining it
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
It may depend on what apps you are running. I packed my NC with CM9 sleeping in a box for 2 weeks and it still had 89% when I turned it on.

Have you checked the battery usage to see what is says is using the bat?
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Android OS 47%

Tablet Idle 21%

Google Play Store 17%

Android System 6%

Wi-Fi 5%

Google Services 4%

I lose a very steady daily incline of about 20% when it isn't being used. (When it is I usually turn Wi-Fi on, then off before re-idling).

On the CM7 series, I was more like 2-3% daily drop. It was CONSIDERABLY better at idling than this seems to be, Open GL or no.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
For a much better picture of what's happening use Better Battery Stats to check for apps that are causing a lot of "partial wakelocks", which is where the app calls for the CPU to stay awake or more importantly to wake up the CPU without turning the screen back on. When a partial wakelock happens the device still looks like it's sleeping but it could be using a lot more power
[Nook Color Android Development] J515OP:
Can't put my finger on it but things seem to run better with the portrait kernel. Plus it is only 90' to either landscape orientation. Before you could have an upside down tablet and a 180 reorientation if you use the tablet the other way (which I do because of where the charger goes).

Definitely like the portrait as the default with only a 90' turn to get where you want to be in landscape from there.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Except, the current kernel is the normal kernel and on the previous, everything had to be flipped to make it work.
[Nook Color Android Development] J515OP:
Right, the other one was flipped landscape and this one is back to portrait, which has been the standard until very recently works better than the landscape. I am glad that the other issues requiring the landscape rotation have been corrected and the portrait kernel is back :)
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I've been trying the incremental updates, and just want to say they work great.

Real cool stuff.

My battery doesn't last either. I have better battery stats, buthavent nailed down the problem. It looks like it may be related to the wifi disconnecting on screen shut-down, and the spending the rest of the time searching for a signal.

I randomly have the problem where I have to toggle wifi on/off to reconnect upon waking the device. Looks like it could be related.

But really, I just posted to praise the incremental updates. Thanks, eyeballer.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Eyeballer, I was wondering if you could explain a little how the Goo software decides what to include in the incremental update. I'm not complaining, mind you, but it seems to have more apps included than the commit says is changed. Is there some set amount that it always includes regardless of changes?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
We literally just md5 compare every file in the .zip and serve what's changed along with the custom updater-script. The only thing we decided to override and always include was /boot.

Some files will get included each time probably because they're rebuilt by the build system. Since I do full, clean builds each night something in the file may change.. even a timestamp which would cause it to appear "changed" to the diff system. If I didn't make clean each night, the zips would probably be even smaller, but I think at ~ 1/3 the size of the full update.zip we're already doing pretty well at saving time/bandwidth/flash memory wear/trees/the planet.. etc. :
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
I've seen some discussion here on battery life and it definitely can vary but lately I've been getting some of the best idle battery ever. Definitely comparable to the good days with CM7. This is literally off the whole time - wifi set to sleep when screen off in settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] incubus26jc:
It seems my nook has an issue with locking up and wont turn on about once a day. Ive even tried running phiremod the last couple days with the same issue. I stopped over clocking to see if that was it. I guess its software im using? I usually use Go Launcher with widget locker. And i use the stock launcher on ICS. Thats about it. Is it a memory issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Do you use widget locker with stock? May be your problem waking up, lots of users complaining about that on play store.
[Nook Color Android Development] incubus26jc:
Im pretty sure ive tried both ways but Ill give it a run without it. thanks for the suggestions.
[Nook Color Android Development] slickie88:
Same here. Will be an hour or so before I can troubleshoot.

I haven't seen the 3/06 builds up on the techerrata website, but I was just able to get the npon-opengl version with the goo manager app. I didn't see OpenGL with the app either, though.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Small update:

1) The builds didn't really go last night due to some technical issues with the build server (although somehow an encore build slipped out) - this is now fixed and we'll be back to normal tonight... except for....

2) Something in the cm tree looks like it broke opengl for us from 3/5 onwards, confirmed by others building, so for now stick with the 3/4 build until we get it figured out :)
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Hmmm...so the 3/6 build I am using to post this message is set to self-destruct in....?:eek:

Should I back away slowly or quickly?

I do have a small child in the house, any response would be appreciated by his grandparents.

Oh yeah, check Goo manager for the leak.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
What is it you want to edit in build.prop? Depending on which setting you want to change, you may be able to override the build.prop settings with local.prop. It gets loaded after build.prop. But some settings are write once and cannot be overridden. Local.prop is in /data so it does not get wiped on flashing each nightly. Also if it is a persistent setting it can be put in /data/property and it also sticks.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
The 3/6 isn't opengl :)
[Nook Color Android Development] numus:
There are some things that are wrong (wifi supplicant should be much higher then 30 and is also written wrong (spaces between equal)... And adding HW video acceleration and having the ui rendered by the GPU...
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I think those are capable of being overwritten. It's mostly the ro settings that are hard to change. If you don't have a local.prop file in /data, just create it and put the settings you want in there.

And if it is settings that are write once settings, you can create a flashable zip that changes the build.prop in the nightly on the fly.
[Nook Color Android Development] numus:
Well that is the question... There is a wifi.supplicant set at = 30 and then v6 sets wifi.supplicant=180.. Which one overrides which? This is a source of battery drain (setting it at 30)...

Vm heapsize should be set to 48m not 256m
[Nook Color Android Development] slickie88:
I was just about to report this. I've been downloading/wiping/flashing over and over trying to figure out why openGL wasn't enabled. Couldn't figure out why no one else was reporting it here...

Will revert back to 3/4.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
The plural in builds had me thinking disaster. Now that I am flashing nightlies...um, daily, I probably don't back up as often as I should. Not like it would be the first time I had to rebuild from scorched earth.

Thanks for the quick reply, eyeballer.

I better go get my kid out of the fallout shelter. We don't really keep water down there
