It appears the section of backuptool.sh that causes failure on a device that has had system formatted is:

# Proceed only if /system is the expected major version
check_prereq() {
if ( ! grep -q "^ro.cm.version=$V.*" /system/build.prop ); then
echo "Not backing up files from incompatible version."
umount_system
exit 127
fi
}

I have been meaning to change the exit to 0 or 1 and see if that prevents the issue... but there is definately a problem with trying to install ICS on a device after formatting system.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
First, coming from CM 7 you do not need to wipe system. The installer recognizes it is not CM 9 and backs up nothing before it formats it itself. I only said it is bad because of the new backup script. Have you looked at it? It sometimes aborts the install if you have wiped first. There is nothing normally wrong with wiping system other than having to reflash gapps, which some folks do anyway. So don't put words in my mouth that I never said.

I'm running yesterday's non-opengl nightly, I'm getting lots of deep sleep with WiFi always on and in range of an access point, but I'm getting more (stock) browser freezes. Right now, it's trying to display the bookmarks.
[Nook Color Android Development] KingJL:
I have been running eyeballer's 3/22 non-opengl build for a week now. I have been getting excellent (relatively) battery life (3 percent drain 8 hr overnight) and deep sleep (81 - 83% measured with CPU Spy) with wifi always on. I have had zero freeze occurrences since I have ensured that Force GPU Rendering is unchecked in Developer Options. When it was checked, I would get frequent freeze occurrences.

I have not moved to the latest build yet (probably will in the next couple days as I see how the dust settles around the 4.0.4 merge).
[Nook Color Android Development] SGH-i200:
add the "PDroid source code patch for CM9" to your build?

@eyeballer

Can you add the "PDroid source code patch for CM9" to your build?

Would be great if it were possible to use PDroid (a privacy protection framework) with your ROM! :-)

I'll bet this is the kind of thing best left up to the individual. I actually compiled it the other night, and while the app now runs, the permissions are not actually blocked. The porter says his GPS is periodically blocking successfully, but thats about it. Once the port is completely successful, I bet there will be a way for us to get it on the Nook.

But those are pretty substantial changes to the build, and most likely not for everyone, even if it was working like I wish it was. Hopefully soon.

I've been using 3/2 opengl build for a while now. At the time I had to do sod fix, boot animation fix and telephony fix. I am about to update to 3/29. I know I have to flash gapps again. Do I have to any of the other patches or are they included now?
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Ah! Yes, I had that checked. It's off now...

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You do not need SOD fix or boot animation fix. If you want telephony and are on emmc, you need to flash that. And make sure you have the latest gapps from goo-inside.me. Also if you are on emmc, don't wipe system first as the new nightlies will bomb and fail.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I've said this elsewhere, but I don't think the telephony fix is needed anymore. The latest Play Store update, at the least, has filtering level in the settings. I have it set to no filters, and all sorts of phone related apps are available for purchase. I haven't flashed the telephony fix in quite some time.

Call blocker and the like are all there.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Hey eyeballer- what's the story with the "end of an era" stuff with the change to unofficial from kang? I saw the tag line "b/c some people just don't get it", which makes me think its aimed at discouraging people from further kanging or rebranding. But that seems like it has pretty much been going on forever and is nothing new. I've seen people call out those who sell images on eBay and fattire has a poem about it in the ROM itself, you know?

So what is the big deal about the merge? Could you tell us about that?
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
yes please
[Nook Color Android Development] yelloguy:
Thanks guys. Installed the nightly with latest g-apps and all went well. Nook feels more responsive to the touch now. More like a CM7 install now. Battery and sleep of death (yes, I had those even after the SOD patch) only time will tell. But I am going to stay away from telephony patch as well. Thanks again.

it took me three downloads to install today's non-openGL build. But I had similar issues with a kernel recently so I chalked it up to a downloader issue. Still reads 4.03 for me, even though the new features are there.
[Nook Color Android Development] lfb02000:
I installed the openGL from today and it also reads 4.0.3 and build IML74K. the screenshot from fattire shows 4.0.4 build IMM76D. Is there a place to get that version?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
I think it's along the same lines as why I removed "KANG" from the filenames of my builds, some people get scared because they think kang is a bad term so any build referred to as a kang shouldn't be touched. I think the term has evolved so "unofficial" makes more sense for builds such as mine, where I don't claim any credit for the work.

SDCard won't mount?

I have been running the CM9 nighlies (generally eyeballer's non-OGL builds) from SD card for a couple months now. Yesterday I got a second Nook Color and for this one, I decided to install to the internal storage for the first time (the 3/17 nightly).

Installation went OK, but I can't get my SDCard to mount (or show up). If I launch settings and click the Storage tab, settings FCs.

Is this known behavior?

Problem solved. Turns out the sd card - for some reason - was partitioned as a logical partition. The nook mever saw it. Nuked the logical and created a simple primary partition and, BAM, it mounted first thing.

On Safari/Mac the Techerrata site loops back to the download countdown somehow. The download does not start, but it keeps counting down 10 seconds, again and again.

Might have something to do with 'catblock'.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I don't know what 'catblock' is, but the download is working for me. It took several seconds beyond the countdown to start, however.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Might be.. I didn't hear of any other issues. Also, disabling adblock on techerrata would be nice since that's how we pay for the nice, fast hosting :).
[Nook Color Android Development] SeaFractor:
Downloads today seem to be under 4K in size without it reporting as incomplete.

Did the build complete successfully, or is this a hosting problem?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I didn't download this build, so I can't speak to this specifically, but I am beginning to wonder if this is a ROM problem and not a techerrata issue. Since about a week ago, I have seen multiple download issues. I myself had a hell of a time getting keyodi's test kernel successfully downloaded from XDA. It was the same as some people have reported with the builds, looks complete but somehow corrupted.

But the broken builds and all that are starting to seem fishy. Working for some and breaking for others out if nowhere? And if you redownload it eventually it works. I have had that start to happen other places. I thought it was just me, and it may turn out to be, but I am starting to wonder.

I don't know how to test or investigate the matter, though. Any ideas?

Install the 4/2 this morning and have had it running all day, openGL version.
[Nook Color Android Development] SeaFractor:
Looks like it was possibly an ISP issue for me (my connectivity, not your hosted site).

This time, it downloaded and with all the speed I'd normally expect for the service I pay for (ISP that is :) ).

I can't put my thumb on it specifically, but the 4.0.4 does seem to have improved the performance and stability for me.

Still looking forward to the eventual 3.0 kernel and the newer TI goodness it'll unlock, but great job for all involved thus far!
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
For those flashaholics.. please go ahead and test drive a whopping kernel update courtesy of keyodi over the latest builds.. see fattire's post here for details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24380933#post24380933

Just flash the .zip in recovery (after flashing your rom if you're updating that too).

4/6 openGL did not boot... FIXED

Today's edition of 4/6 got 'stuck' after the initial cyanoboot screen with the word 'ANDROID' endlessly showing.:confused: Am now re-installing 4/5. I will re-download 4/6 and try again.

EDIT: OK, was apparently a 'bad' download... re-downloaded and installed, .59 kernel installed, running fine now. [Yeah, I'm one of those that does not check the checksum.. usually I get away with it!]
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
I got about the same, but never got to the boot anim, just recycled back to cyanoboot. Sure enough, the md5 was bad (I don't check either), but fetching again took several tries.

How can I install the android market (google play) on a nightly build?

E.g. I have just installed update-cm-9.0.0-encore-20120407-0730-opengl-signed.zip

Also, searching the forums or the web doesn't help...

IF you have not installed Google Apps, then you need to download and install Google Apps for ICS, 03172012, there's a link in the OP

Try reflashing gapps.
[Nook Color Android Development] mobliefranz:
Oops, apparently you have to install gapps after installing the new rom. I should have realized this.:-x

[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
In general, you need to reflash gapps on a fresh install or after wiping /data, but you don't need to do that even when upgrading from GB to ICS.

just installed "update-cm-9.0.0-encore-20120405-0730-opengl-signed" but I noticed the interface is laggy and touchscreen also is not very sensitive. need to press twice or 3 times to make a program to run, or even to move an icon or widget it is little bit hard

it seems to be "missing frames" when scrolling pages, tabs or moving icons/widgets. But angry birds for example run smoothly. Is that supposed to be like that? I didn't play with ICS before in nook, so maybe it is like that and I'm just not aware.

my main use is for email/gmail, internet, facebook access. not an intense use.but even doing that my nook crashed twice in 6 hours of use... maybe I should go for a version without OpenGL

anyway, thanks for the great job for all devs so far

Disappointing to hear the OpenGL builds are still like this.
[Nook Color Android Development] chilre:
regarding egl.cfg

I've been using the OpenGL builds for the last few days and I was getting quite a few random freezes (with the .59 kernel). When I checked the egl.cfg, I noticed that the "0 0 android" line was still present. A search in this thread revealed that it should have been removed by default. So, has it been added again due to some issue, or was it never removed?

I've just installed the 7/4 build after manually removing that line. Hope the freezes are reduced.
[Nook Color Android Development] mobliefranz:
I also experience this with update-cm-9.0.0-encore-20120407-0730-opengl-signed.zip.

In addition, playback of .avi files does not work. They played fine in e.g. Dice Player in CM7. Other files do play (though not smooth due to lack of hwa, but this is known).
[Nook Color Android Development] stewtang:
I'm still not having any luck downloading any of the builds(for over a month now). It starts downloading for a while then it is a failed download. Is this due to the site hosting the files?
[Nook Color Android Development] KingJL:
I wouldn't think so... I have not had any problems downloading any of eyeballer's builds. I just successfully downloaded and installed the latest (04082012) non-opengl build. Now, I am limited (by my ISP) to 1500 mbs... but my downloads have been solid at that speed. If the problem was the site and it was as chronic as you state, it would affect everyone (at least most). I would be looking for other culprits (ISP, router, etc)!!
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
People have been complaining about it all over. But I think it is the size of the download that is revealing a problem, not the site. I have had problems with attachments on xda and a couple other places (yes, techerrata included).

But I agree in that I don't think the site is at fault. They host a large number of things for a fair number of devices and i bet they would have noticed a problem by now. Not to mention the problems on other sites.

I'm thinking it may be with the downloader, either in the browser or the ROM. Anybody looked at it at all? The corrupt downloads have been pretty widespread, and seem to have started a couple of weeks ago, all of a sudden. I first encountered it

(so before flashing) keyodi's first test kernel in mid-march.

AVI files play fine for my on MX-Player in CM9 ICS. Just loaded up the latest nightly build , no issues other than the usual random freezes.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Disappointing why? The NC is not yet a fully supported device on CM9. Nothing much changes on the nightly for us, since most of the work is on other devices.

If something major is fixed you will see it here first.

[Nook Color Android Development] mobliefranz:
It seems the problem is hardware decoding. Most players (including DICE and the two installed by default) try to use it and crash. MX-Player just jumps to the next file instead. But here I could switch to software decoding, now it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] stewtang:
I have tried various locations; home, hotels, airport, different states, tethering to my phone, etc. I'm just looking for the source. I've never encountered an issue downloading before and i was just trying to figure out what the problem might be. I have reverted to various nandroid backups and still have the same issue. I like eyeballers open gl builds and was hoping to try some of the newer builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Yes you are correct, HW codec and hardware graphics acceleration are not working yet on the NC CM9. In fact if you install MX-Player fresh it will not try to use HW CODECs. When they are working it will.
[Nook Color Android Development] xdp:
Mainly because my EVO is also not supported by CM9 but it does have HWA without any associated lagginess. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting or feel entitled to anything here, it is awesome to have ICS on my Nook at all. It's just too bad that the non-OpenGL build is still smoother, since HWA has some nice benefits when scrolling on web pages and stuff like that.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Yah, and when one of the developers gets around to fixing the HWA, it will be working, until then its just not working. Some of that depends on Texas Instruments providing a proper OMAP driver.
[Nook Color Android Development] douginoz:
There are many ways to download the builds - using the goo app on your device, using a web browser on your device, or via the links in the first post from your PC.

People should specify which method they are using that is working or failing when posting messages like above or it's too ambiguous.

I've noticed that the download fails if I try to download a build on my NC >AND< I let the NC's screen turn off. If I keep the screen on and the NC active the entire time then the download works.

Even then, I get a strange result - the download completes verifies OK in ES File explorer, I then open it with ROM Manager and tell it to restart in Recovery mode (using Cyanoboot). It fails. When I manually 'install from zip' and navigate to the file in recovery mode, it fails. I have to then turn off signature verification, then it works.

Downloading the build on my PC and transferring it to the card manually, then performing the update, works (without having to toggle signature verification).

tl;dr - try different download approaches and find one that works.

This will sound a bit strange, but I use my Nook almost completely for reading - news and books. I went to watch a video, and discovered I don't have sound anymore.
