Been on the newest version since release. I have noticed a marked improvement in battery life. SOD issues are also non-existent.

Another neat little fact. I'm currently charging my nook on a generic Micro usb cable plugged into a 1amp charger(iphone). The nook is not only charging, but the OS is aware of it. I was unable to do this on stock.

Weird

I had a weird thing happening to me today. I have a 2 months old NT. I installed CM9 about a week ago. I was happy with it, but today I had the most annoying thing happen to my NT. the keyboard is completely messed up. When I type a letter, other letter randomly get displayed after the one I typed. I found the only solution is to barely touch a key, and then delete extra keys that might appear. I think it's the screen driver that got messed up. I tried clicking on some links on my browser. But it either misses it or some other weird behaviors.

One last think, and I don't know if all this is related, all of this happened after my Nook charger stopped all of a sudden. I plugged the charger in, but nothing happens. I tried a Samsung wall charger, and the NT was charging.

Anybody has experienced anything similar? And if yes, what should I do?

I am not ready to settle on a NT as a paper weight.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I switched back to CM7, and everything is back to normal.

I had to reboot twice before things went back to normal. So my guess is that this is related to CM9 itself.

I dont know of a way to fix this while keeping your current data, you'll have to wait for a dev to answer that. But I have a few things that I've picked up around here that might be able to help. If you can, boot into CWM and restore to a backup before this happened. If you didn't make any backups (make one next time) then I'd recommend wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache and then re-flashing the cm9 alpha 0.1. You could try to make titanium backups of your apps if you don't want to lose your appdata. If this doesn't fix it then boot into CWM, then eject and wipe the sd card (on a pc) and then try re-flashing cm9 again. If none of that helps then it could be a hardware problem or you couldve permenantly screwed up a driver. Hope It helps!

I have already tried all of these. I was hoping on of the devs could help. I am pretty sure they have seen similar stuff before.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

I have not seen that. You might want to grab 0.01, install the recovery from there and do a nandroid backup. Then go back to stock to see if the problem persists.

I've having a little trouble trying to get a CM9/CM7 dual boot. Hopefully someone here can help me out.

I have CM9 installed to EMMC and am trying to put CM7 on SD.

I have swapped out CM7's flashing_boot.img and replaced it with the flashing_boot.img from CyanoBoot. The software I am using the do this is UltraISO. When I overwrite the CM7 SD (with the CyanoBoot flashing_boot.img), it always saves the image as an 190MB .ima file of instead of an a 3.7GB .img file made by Celtic.

I was always under the impression the two file types were interchangeable, let me know if this is not the case.

Anyhow, when I try to boot my NT was the newly created SD card, it does go into CyanoBoot, but the bootcount shows S 0. After that, it goes to a black screen. I have waited but it does not progress any further. Does the 0 (zero) mean there is nothing to boot?

I have tried to create the bootable SD using UltraISO's built in writer and the Win32DiskImager software, and I get the same result.

I have also attemped this on 2 different SD cards (4GB Kingston and a 32GB SanDisk.)

I'm stumped, hopefully someone else can point me in the right direction. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give the details.

EDIT: I got the image to save an a .IMG file now but it's still just the 190 MB. And it still gets stuck after the CyanoBoot screen with a S 0 boot count.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
anyone have netflix working. that was my main reason for going back to cm7
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
So I'm not too familiar with the cm7 install, but essentially what I think you want to do is the following:

1. install cm9 as normal on emmc. Install CM7 SD on SD (I assume this exists..?)

2. replace the flashing_boot.img file on the SD with cyanoboot. Simply mount to your computer, and drag and drop the cyanoboot flashing_boot file into the boot partition where the old one was.

3. That's it.

It sounds like maybe you are making it harder than it should be by dding flashing_boot.img over a partition-- you just want to copy the flashing_boot.img file on top of the existing one on the SD. I don't know what ultra ISO is, but it shouldn't require any special software-- you don't want to dd or flash anything-- it's a file, and it will replace the bauwks or "team b" u-boot with cyanoboot so that you can selectively choose whether you want to boot into SD or EMMC on the fly without removing the card.

The "S 0" at boot means that cyanoboot is loading from sdcard, and the bootcount on emmc is 0. So assuming you didn't overwrite the SD card boot partition (which maybe you did?) it should normally boot into SD's CM7.

Let me know how it goes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I tried this and it did not work for me. Has anyone else had success with this method? Any other changes that should be made?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Thanks for knocking some sense into me, fattire. You are The Man.

For some reason, I was thinking I had to replace the flashing_boot.img BEFORE I wrote the entire image to SD card.

All is well now, dual booting CM9 from emmc and CM7 from SD card.

Does anyone have the problem with clock? Time doesn't get updated for hours unless reboot. Is this the special feature of this build?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
There are alot of issues with this build, the clock is just one of them. This rom is just a teaser for the upcomming build that will be based on a updated kernel. There are also problems with the video, compatability issues with certain apps and games, unhandled exceptions in different parts of the kernel (play around with the menu settings for awhile) and the sd card mounting is wonky at times. It is still fun to test out and see how great our tablet can be when all everyones hard work finally comes togdther.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

Clock works fine for me. Mind posting a logcat and dmesg?

Rgds,

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

What kind of app issues did you experience apart from games?

Rgds,

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] css771:
As long as the discussion is the subject of issues,

I know it's an alpha Tom, but just putting this out there.

Wifi range and stability are extremely bad. Constantly keeps dropping, apps say there's no connection when there's one bar of wifi; cm7 gets two bars in the same places and even standing right next to the router there's only 3 bars.

Also, standby time battery drain is very bad (this is alpha .1 not 0)

Don't need any snide remarks, I just didn't see many posts discussing all these issues. So I'm just making sure the devs know.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
I have noticed that the menu settings in certain apps like Chrome Alpha force close when trying to access settings. I have also noticed when connecting usb the internal 1gb partition is mounted. The wifi drivers seem to work great and the OpenGl 1.8 implementation are smooth. What is causing the tearing? Is it a software buffer? When booting, widgets that access the internet like youtube time out while the twlan driver initializes. Is this a timing issue that can be fixed? The clock process always crashes at the unlock screen which you know already. These are small things compared to having a much better organized and easier to use OS. ICS is nice on the eyes and its AMAZING that you and the few Devs working on this have gotten so far using a modified gingerbread kernel. I hope i have mentioned something worthwhile. Are you still planning on using the 3x kernel? Hope the LCD driver issues not causing problems still.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
I think the most helpful thing you guys can do when reporting errors is post logcats of app/system crashes and/or dmesg output if appropriate.

Here's something I wrote a while back that may apply.

As for the 3.x kernel development, follow here for more info.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
I will send a logcat tomorrow. I noticed cm9 has incorrectly swapped my intrrnal 1gb partition as external sd and my 4gb sd as (other) internal emmc. Am i doing something wrong or is this a known bug? Maybe i should repartition my internal? Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

If u look at settings-> storage,

"Internal storage" is the 12gb mmcblk0p11 mounted as /data.

"sdcard" is the first fat partition on mmcblk1 (that is the external sdcard slot) mounted as /sdcard.

"Additional storage:/mount/emmc" is the 1gb mmcblk0p10 mounted on /mnt/emmc

I don't know what it should be. Maybe we should mount internal 1gb partition on /sdcard and make it primary storage. But that might make dual booting with cm7 difficult.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

Someone who knows this stuff better than me could compare the tiwlan.ini settings from stock or cm7 with the one we have in cm9. There are lots of options and I have touched only few for power management which were obviously wrong. The ini file is somewhat documented by TI.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
I have noticed that my NT doesn't like to detect wifi networks after I wake it up with a wifi sleep policy on for when it's not charging. I have to cycle wifi off and on before it will detect networks. Currently using the tiwlan that was included in 0.01

I dont have this bug, everything runs very well, except the lack of hw accel...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
Opps. Here is the screenshot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I am experiencing this as well. After waking the NT from sleep, I have to manually turn on wifi again.

Hmm, I don't have this problem. Internal, SD card, and /mnt/emmc all mount correctly for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
This looks indeed wrong. Can you try to boot without the sdcard inserted? Is the sdcard partitioned?

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

I couldn't even install chrome beta, as we have wrong keys and build id. I'll fix that in next version. But if you want to try manually. Get /system/build.prop to PC (adb pull /system/build.prop) and change it so that:

ro.build.id=IML74K

and optionally switch to nexus S.

ro.build.description=soju-user 4.0.3 IML74K 239410 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:4.0.3/IML74K/239410:user/release-keys

Push it back to nook:

adb remount

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

Then you can start chrome beta.

This doesn't fix the settings crash bug though. Other people seem to have that issue also (e.g http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23525450&postcount=3), so I don't think this is nook related. Maybe opening a bug report on chrome and posting the logcat null pointer exception there?

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Hey Chris or anyone else,

how could I make it so that CM9 recognizes a different partition of my SD card for storage?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
You could try to open /etc/vold.fstab and change auto to the #of the partition:

So e.g. if you want partition number 3:

Change

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

into:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 3 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

Haven't tried if this works though and I think vold only mounts fat partition, so you can't have ext partition there (I think).

Rgds,

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
That's fine. I have 2 FAT32 partitions and one of them is the partition I'm using as storage in CM7. I'd like to use the same one for extra storage in CM9.

I give the commands a try in a bit and report back.

EDIT: Chris, editing the vold.fstab worked. Thanks very much! Now I have use of the same SD storage while in CM9 internal and CM7 SD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] everest.deth:
So, today I was playing draw something, and as I was getting something to drink and the screen was on, bam! random reboot.

Edit: I thought I should also add a log for the speech recorder FC. Not sure if it's related to the gapps, or if it's something you can work on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
Yes, this was indeed the problem. I FORMATTED Sd card and wiped both caches and Sd mounting properly. Got Chrome up and running also. Thanks for and dedication!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
This is odd. It should take 1st fat partition.

You managed to run chrome and access settings menu?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
Probably it's somehow related to my clock issue. This string is from my dmesg:

<3>omapdss MANAGER error: mainclk disabled while tryingmgr_apply, returning
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
I had tried to install cm7 on my 4gb sd and when i tried to write the image both windows and Linux would complain about space. Also strange is that when i formatted wiped data and both cache and installed cm9 i found applications already installed from cm7 in the app drawer (evernote) . I decided to just use the hacked version of Chrome that was stripped of the checks that i found on Xda and posted in this thread around page 7 or 8. Scrolling and pinch to zoom are faster than with stock browser.

Density changes work without issue in CM7
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] little8020:
Today my media and sd card switch mount points too. In settings / storage my /sd card is showing the 1gb media partition and /emmc is my 8gb sd card.

So this must not be to isolated since it has happened to me too
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but whenever i listen to music, streaming or off of the SD card and i turn off the screen, the music likes to skip/jump. I've watched adb catlog running while connected over wifi and i have not seen any music specific entries, just it clearing memory i believe. If you want i can always put it into a log and sit it on my dropbox to share it or w/e.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Excessiveidling:
I've had the music stuttering issue on cm7 as well. Solution I've discovered is copy music to internal memory...no issue (even with a class 6 16gig memory card). If I were to guess its because when the screen times out..the cpu goes to a slower speed than needed for music playback.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
I never once had that on cm7. That doesn't give a solution for streaming music though

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] little8020:
So has anyone figured out why the sd and media are swapping, I reinstalled and wiped data, reformatted my sd card(only one partition before and after) it was right for a day and after a reboot they switched again.

Also is there any way to reformat the nook so it doesn't have the media partition just the internal data and my external sd card
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
I haven't seen this problem myself. Maybe it gets confused if the sdcard is partitioned? If it's wrong you could adb into device and show the mounts.

Maybe in /etc/vold.fstab you could change auto to the real number of partition on the sdcard?

No clue what's happening there.

Rgds,

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I guess if you really wanted to, you could delete the /mnt/media partition altogether, but that seems a little sketchy. If nothing else, the media partition is good for keeping Nandroid backups.

Loving the look and feel of CM9. This is def made for tablets. I know that it is only an Alpha but is it common to get less that 24hrs stand by time. I use my tablet in the AM to take notes at work and usually turn it back on at night. They other day I loaded CM9 to play with it and barely got 24hrs time. I am on CM7 and can go a few days without recharging.

Can anyone help!?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] little8020:
I've got really good battery life. Maybe not as good as cm7 but not much different.

I can go a day easy. When reading with the nook app it doesn't even go down %10 a hour. So that would be 10 hours of screen on time probably.

Have you done a full battery cycle were you run it dead and let it fully charge powered down
