CM9 on Nook Tablet 8GB

I have succesfully installed the cm9 internal on my Nook Tablet without needing these images. The standard images works just fine apparently (free memory is correctly listed as 40x MB)

I has taken VERY long to find out how to get this installed, since most of the CWM versions DONT work on the 8GB, since they tend to have the memory set to the full 1GB. Therefore the CWM in general tend to fail as described by others when flashing a zip or doing backups.

The CWM that works (worked for me) is this one by http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24882445&postcount=86

by meghd00t. It is build from 1.4.2 so should work on both 8GB and 16GB

A BIG thanks to chrmhoffmann and meghd00t (and a lot of others)

Hey guys, just found something out that pertains to the audio driver problems we've been having (ie: audio skipping around in the browser and with the locked screen) and I've just found another piece of convicting evidence. With the lock screen we know its something to do with the CPU management after the a screen is off, we know this because if you turn the CPU governor (settings>performance>CPU>governor>performance) to performance (ie: highest clock speed supported) then it doesn't skip. As for the browser I may have just found a clue. Always before its been hit or miss if a website set the audio skipping off. So today I was reading a cnet review of the new transformer pad 300. I absent mindedly turned on music and went back to the browser and it started skipping. I noticed that the cnet page was VERY flash heavy and I remembered that the chrome beta doesn't support flash. So I dled the latest version from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538038

And loaded up the same page while playing music. No skipping. This tells me one of 4 things, one the browser problems are related to flash, two they are related to the stock browsers heavy memory footprint, or three it is also related to memory usage and when the stock browser uses too much memory it crashes the audio. Or because of chrome betas smaller memory footprint. Or (five oops) a combination of those. Hope this helps.

EDIT: under further inspection not only does that chrome apk stop audio problems, it also uses the tablet UI of chrome beta (before in former releases it had the phone UI) and the settings menu works on it. I recommend it to us cm9 users.

Thank you for this. I have been out of town since Tuesday so I was unable to try this even though I was claiming that I would be the first to risk his 8GB tablet :)

I have a question for you; did you make a nandroid backup beforehand and if so how large was the resulting backup file?

Posting from cm9 on my 8gb Nook Tablet!

Seems to work just the same as the 16gb version, haven't run into sleep of death issue yet but tbh I haven't let the thing sleep since I got it running, it's flipping sweet!

Definitely missing the extra 512mb of ram but whatever, it works and works great. I'll prepare a post with detailed instructions on how to get an 8gb tablet from stock to this tomorrow.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Great! I'm sure chrmhoffmann and the others will be ready glad to know this. Nice work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Great! Thanks so much for being the guinea pig on this! Its much appreciated and I'm sure many of people to come will enjoy cm9. And as for the sleep of death issue, I alpha 0.02 I used to use wake lock to keep it from SODing but it used up too much battery so I turned it off. That was 2 or 3 weeks ago its sleep of deathed once. So I wouldn't worry about it, and also if I were you I would set the minimum CPU speed under performance in settings to 600mhz, it helps a little bit with a 16gb but with only 512mb of ram the rom probably needs all the help it can get. Just IMHO on most of this. Thanks again for being where no 8gb user has been before. Please get back to us o performance/bugs

Thanks.

EDIT: Lol solar plexus and I posted much of the same thank you posts at basically the same time :-P

Another 8gb cm9 conversion here. Thanks sigmabeta. Very nice work everyone, and things can only get better. This isn't even my device and now I am going to really miss it when it goes. I suppose there is a solution for that. :)

Build issues:

Homescreen Clock / System pop-up (expanded).

- Brightness control missing.

- Wifi name is indicated, but battery percentage is missing.

- Notifications on/off missing.

- Sound control missing.

- Settings (Full) missing.

Example

In Chrome, long-press Bookmark > Add to home screen.

Bookmark can be removed by dragging and dropping on 'Remove.' However if you hold too long and accidentally choose 'Uninstall,' a Trebuchet error occurs. "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped." The Bookmark remains.

This is not specific to Chrome, default browser bookmarks also behave in the same way. Here's the logcat.

Just today for the first time my nook tablet shutdown during the night while asleep. Now whenever i reboot it gets into the loader, loads the internal eMMC then reboots. I can get into recovery fine but when i formatted then reflashed the .02 update it still happens.

I am on vacation and i need to use this tablet for some work, anyone knows what's wrong with it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
The latest build is .03, so you should try flashing that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Firerouge:
Is there any way of getting the .03 download onto the tablet without a computer or another phone with an sd card slot?

It seems like the countdown timer might have expired. It's very annoying that there are no warnings about it and they don't give you any opportunity to download the new update into the tablet before it expires.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
While it is inconvenient, it is an early development build not really intended for daily use, although plenty of people do use it as their daily driver (me included) my little sisters nook had the same problem but I can easily put 0.03 on there with a computer and an SD card reader. Doesn't solve your problem, but it might. Can you flash anything else on the SD card? Such as a cm7 or miui build. Just so that you can DL the latest patch. Be sure to backup your cm9 first, then flash something else, download 0.03 and the latest gapps and put them in the root of your SD, then boot into cwm, wipe and restore into the cm9 backup, and then flash 0.03. If you don't have anything else to flash you're basically s.crewed

enough space

warning!

So, my daughter is fond of downloading files on her Nook Tablet. I was updating her from .02 to .03, and well, the dl happened pretty fast, i was suprised but CWM seemed fine.

I installed, bam. bootloop. the problem? the SD card was full, and all of .03 didn't make it, but it still prompted for install.

Moral of the story, if you are downloading the ROM directly to tablet, make sure there is enough space.

Fortunately, I was able to also find the mount USB, clean up her SD card get the proper .03 over and install, and it fixed. But not before i set up SDK, ADB'd into the device, pushed "Parted" thinking the partition jacked.

Question:

I seem to only have 1GB available on "internal" and the SD card (4GB) can someone clue me into how to get access to the other 12 or so GB?

What's going on? I had the EXACT same problem. My tablet went to sleep, didn't wake up and then was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the Nook disclaimer and then reboot. I just flashed back to CM7.

This ROM has a time limit. It clicked over yesterday. Expect to do it again in a month's time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
Ahh, now it makes sense regarding the comment about a reset in the time limit. I had just installed it and only had it for about a day before the time limit hit...I thought it was an issue with me changing mount points.

I did a backup of the "expired" version before restoring cm7. Can i restore it and then just flash the new version? I really like the way that CM9 runs on a tablet, and all of my primary apps function properly (business calendar, Ultimate To-do tablet, Evernote, and the Olivetree Bible). I can do without the hardware acceleration for now :).

Even I was wondering the same! Only if there was a changelog for the recoveries too. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
If you read the OP, the time limit is in there so people do not attempt to profit from this alpha version of this ROM. The devs put it in place for a reason and the reason is sound. Just remember that it is there or run CM7 until a solid build of CM9 is completed and they feel confident to remove the timer. My only suggestion would be a reminder warning to tell people the time limit is about to expire and to renew. But, that is not up to me. Just like I should not be posting in this section due to it not be a dev related item, I just felt to remind people why the limit is in place.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

i don't know if there are any changes to recovery in cm9 upstream. I just added that as the build process spits it out also.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Cool. Thanks for the clarification and all you do/have done.

If it helps anyone I've only ever had one version of CWM. I think it came from Indirect back in early January. It's flashed every version of CM9 so far with no ill effects. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying this version has remained effective.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Yeah me too, Indirect's recovery flasher app works great. And you don't even have to be in the stock OS to use it, I've used it from a MIUI rom when my friend accidentally somehow got rid of it. Props to him for making an awesome lasting service. Wish he wasn't leaving.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
This is actually somewhat weird, but may herald a light to fix some of the issues we have come to 'know and love' with our CM9. Its been common knowledge for awhile that you can fix some of the audio issues if you run your tablet at a constant 1008mhz CPU. In other words the fastest it can run default. Up until now I've assumed that this would greatly decrease battery life. However today I decided to try it and I noticed no difference in battery life. The OS ran smoother and I was able to lock the tablet while playing music without the sound cutting around and out. I dunno if this is for everyone but this seems to work pretty well on my tablet, and I use it pretty heavily throughout the day regardless of being at school. Just some info from my experience anybody else who wants to try this feel free, I wanna know other peoples opinions. I'll keep running this and get back to you guys in a few days.

recovery should be the same... I think if there's a new one the version # should change, and even then I'm guessing the changes would be minor.

As long as the partition tables are right and ext4 is supported (which it has been for a long time), it should be good to go. No need to update cwm unless there's some new feature you know you need.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jesterdtm:

governer

I've noticed that the default CPU governor is ondemand. Does this handle the second cpu core properly? I have been setting it back to hotplug thinking it may help battery life. Anyone have thoughts on this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
I thought on demand helped battery life personally, I know having wifi turn off with the screen off helps battery.

Sent from Outer Space.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
I did a little digging and found some more information:

The Hotplug governor performs very similarly to the OnDemand governor, with the added benefit of being more precise about how it steps down through the kernel's frequency table as the governor measures the user's CPU load. However, the Hotplug governor's defining feature is its ability to turn unused CPU cores off during periods of low CPU utilization. This is known as "hotplugging."

Source: http://icrontic.com/discussion/95140/android-cpu-governors-and-you-setcpu-system-tuner-tegrak

If that information is correct then it would make more sense to run with the Hotplug governor.

Perhaps that should be the default for this ROM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Hashcode:
Right now we're using Interactive governor on the Kindle Fire (and seeing good overall performance) -- this description from the same page.

--------------------------------

Interactive Governor: Much like the OnDemand governor, the Interactive governor dynamically scales CPU clockspeed in response to the workload placed on the CPU by the user. This is where the similarities end. Interactive is significantly more responsive than OnDemand, because it's faster at scaling to maximum frequency.

Unlike OnDemand, which you'll recall scales clockspeed in the context of a work queue, Interactive scales the clockspeed over the course of a timer set arbitrarily by the kernel developer. In other words, if an application demands a ramp to maximum clockspeed (by placing 100% load on the CPU), a user can execute another task before the governor starts reducing CPU frequency. This can eliminate the frequency bouncing discussed in the OnDemand section. Because of this timer, Interactive is also better prepared to utilize intermediate clockspeeds that fall between the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. This is another pro-battery life benefit of Interactive.

However, because Interactive is permitted to spend more time at maximum frequency than OnDemand (for device performance reasons), the battery-saving benefits discussed above are effectively negated. Long story short, Interactive offers better performance than OnDemand (some say the best performance of any governor) and negligibly different battery life.

Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above.

By far, Interactive is the default governor of choice for today's smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
Great information. However, what is the impact on power consumption when the second core is disabled?

I'm assuming that interactive always keeps both cores running. That means that both cores ramp up to full speed. On a single core device the interactive governor makes sense, but I think that the power consumption is further impacted by multiple cores (I have nothing to prove that, just guessing based on what I know).

Perhaps there is a way to integrate "hotplugging" with the interactive governor?
