I have gone back to B&N stock. Several times. Wiped the whole thing clean, like it was brand new out of the box. I can never access the Market/Play store. I can get Gmails though.... Anyway, it's clearly not a ROM related issue, so thanks everyone for trying to help out.

I'm stumped.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
There are different ways of going back to stock. So I'll ask you which way did you use to get back to stock? I think the most complete way of getting back to stock is to use the Ubuntu wiper method first to clear all data in all partitions. I have reloaded the operating system about a dozen times now. And it is always interesting to me, that I'll use the little application called in 'SD Maid' as part of re-setting back "in" my apps and when I do, it'll find pieces of the programs that were on there from before the data and cache and dalvik wipe. So, triple wipe and stuff is still left behind. Go figure.

Battery life seems to have really taken a hit with this version. I'm barely using my NT and the battery goes dead in about 15 hours (mostly standby). Anyone else noticing this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yfeldman:
Yes. I had the same battery experience. I shut off the Wifi whenever I wasn't actually using the device. Made a big difference.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raye1010:
It saves very much battery if the wifi is shutdown. And avoid deep sleep. My NT drains less than 1% per hour when it sleeps.

I haven't had a recovery on my nook for a while (just always use my sd revovery) and was planning on putting it on. I have two questions.

Do you guys use fastboot to put the recovery on or is there an easier way? (I have trouble getting my device recognised.)

Do you have to reinstall the recovery with every new iteration or will this 0.05.1 recovery work when 0.06 eventually comes out?

thanks

Ok I have looked and searched, used the search function and Google. That being said I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask this but Silent Stormer seems to think so and if it is not admin please feel free to move or delete this.

I am running CM9 9.0.0 RC 0 with the 2.6.35 kernel (stock I believe) I have found many threads and posts in regards to editing the build.prop for CM7 and had done it myself when I was running it.

I am looking for any build.prop edits that have been proven safe in the CM9 build to be able to see and download paid games that I have abs would like to play on my tablet instead of my Galaxy Nexus. Any help in this manner is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
Well chrmhoffman added something into the build.prop this build that allowed chrome and google music to be seen by the device on the play store, but that doesnt fix visibility for actual tablet apps like bank of america for tablets or the tablet xda version. Now if its not a tablet only app, you can always copy a tibu backup (or your app of choice) or the apk over to your tablet.

screen density

Not sure about this version of CM9 (I am no longer running it) but on other versions, the issue seems to be the screen density. The default is 160 but there are apps on the play store to change that. Change it to 240 and you can see more tablet apps on the play store.

I hope you didn't do it yet.. because i did and it seems the default is in tablet mode, however if you change the density to 240, it goes back to phone mode and you'll have to download something like button saviour to be able to have the buttons that are essential to be able to change back

FWIW -- my SoD problem had gotten a lot worse, so I reformatted the SD card partitions and re-installed 0.05.1 anew (the previous install was done on top of an existing 0.04 install, with /cache and /data wipes), and the NT has been running without SoD problem for a couple of days now.

My takeaway from this is that, when running CM9 off an SD card, one cannot upgrade to a newer release by installing the new ROM version on top of the existing version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Keithn:
You should be able to do it without the buttons. Even if you have to adb pull /system/build.prop , modify back to 160 then adb push build.prop /system

That or just go into the app to modify the density back then restart without going back to the home screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
I personally didn't even think of playing with adb when i was doing it.. i eventually ended up renaming the .bak that root explorer made automatically and deleting the new one (in the opposite order)

That's quite the beauty of Android though, so many ways of doing one single thing.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikenexus:
So if I want to run Gameloft games for instance while still having it look and be recognized as a tablet I should change the DPI to 240 in build.prop then back to 160 after a restart? Little confused, sorry. Its good to know there is a solution for this as I've also been looking for over a month how to change the build.prop on cm9 like one can on cm7 to play games.

Thanks in advance
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
Well changing it to 240 specifically takes off tablet mode so you lose the navigation abilities, i saw that and personally didn't give two ****s about tablet apps because it also made it a very small resolution that i personally did not care much for, didn't even try to get any tablet apps

Pardon me if this question is misplaced. (Please re-direct as needed.)

From everyone's feedback in this thread, it sounds like CM9 0.05.1 is working pretty darn well minus the known issues called out in the OP.

Has any consideration been given to resolving the known issues and making this ROM more broadly available to non-developers?

I see the reasoning for waiting and have also been watching the great efforts by the CM9 3.x thread (Kuzma30 and others) but it be really awesome to have this CM9 2.6 rom if the effort to do so is not too heavy. (Please be gentle....I can't develop like you guys but can offer a donation to help.)

Thoughts?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
This rom is very stable with the 2.6 kernel even though no hardware acceleration, you don't really need to be a developer to be using it, just need to follow a couple directions. You can use their recovery or you can just use the apk made by indirect, you still have to do the whole driver thing though if you haven't touched your nook yet, not hard though.

I personally don't see any reason in not making this your daily driver like me. I personally haven't been using my nook since i got my galaxy note and replaced my Samsung craptivate, i can leave my nook on for weeks with the Wi-Fi sleep rule set when i don't use my nook. I use to always have my nook in my hands, but 4 inch phone haha

If you want to use video from netflix, youtube, etc. Also some of the animations aren't smooth and there is tearing, if that stuff annoys you. It works well and is stable, and ICS is with out a doubt better than GB, but there are reasons people might not want to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
Thanks for this feedback and understood on not needing to be a developer to use this rom. The OP did a good job of scaring me and is why I have been hesitant. :)

FWIW, I replaced CWM with TWRP a while back. That should not be a problem for installing this ROM should it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
kernel match on recovery

If you are currently using a ROM with a 2.x kernel, then there should not be any problems.

It appears that the recovery kernel needs to match the kernel of the ROM. I am experimenting with some of that right now. Unfortunately, the various recoveries (CWM & TWRP) have multiple versions and some of them use the 3.x kernel and others use the 2.x. None publish the kernel version however.:(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
Nope. Download the .zip and ICS gapps to your SD card, reboot into TWRP, and flash both, then wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
Appreciate this insight as I had seen some having issues but was unsure how it all was connected. I was also considering re-installing CWM and will search for the "How to revert back to CWM from TWRP" thread I think I came across already.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
I am not absolutely positive about all this but Fattire told me that the recovery does have the kernel.:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Helltoupee:
I ran in to this yesterday actually. I was hoping that hardware acceleration would be more stable by now (not complaining) so I decided to go back to CM7 from CM9. I had the TWRP recovery up and running on CM9 but had to make a bootable CWM recovery card to get back in to recovery and then used the SD version to flash the CWM internal version before I could get back to CM7 with everything working properly.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
kernel match on recovery

Yep! That is how I discovered the problem.

I have an NT8 and, although some NT8 users report success with the 3.0 kernel & CM9, I only get CyanoBoot & then a blank screen. After about a minute, it will loop back and reboot.:crying:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
I don't think that's the case. I've flashed both the CM9 nightlies (with a 3.0.x kernel) and the CM9 0.05.1 (with a 2.65 kernel) using the same TWRP recovery with no problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kazzaz:

"Bootable Recovery"

When it states I need to make a "bootable" recovery for SD Card, is it directly referring to making a Cyanoboot recovery?

If so, can Cyanoboot recovery be done by formatting in windows? And if so, how do I format in windows appropriately?

I am getting confused on the instructions posted by fattire in his cyanoboot thread.

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

NT16, normally running CM9 alpha 0.5.1
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Issues on NT8

That may explain the difference. It does not seem to affect the NT16 - only the NT8.

I don't know what it is, but my NT8 has problems when crossing between kernels. I have seen reports from other NT8 users with exactly the same issues. I recently tried the TWRP 2.2 and it crashed my NT8.

There is evidently something in the 3.x kernel (in recovery) that causes problems for the 8GB version. It certainly IS an issue with the 3.x kernel in the new CM9 ROMs.

Succulent had to write a special "newboot.zip" in order for us to flash Chris' new version of CM9a that still uses the 2.x kernel.

There is something going on for NT8 users. And, it is above my pay grade. :cool:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
The N8 uses completely different memory chips, which requires different intiialization and stuff in the kernel. I think that stuff was added (by me? I can't recall..) to the 3.0 kernel, but there are also issues having to do with the 512 limitation, and I don't think this has been added, and if so, it's on a different branch then mainline 3.0.. so for that reason it's generally thought best to avoid the 3.0 kernel until all the 512 support is built-in.

Now that I think about it, I do believe that 3.0 supported earlier versions of TWRP 2.1 even on 8GB, but perhaps it's not the case for 2.2; maybe there have been some changes to 2.2 or the kernel that make this the case... (or maybe my memory is wrong and 2.1 was never working with the 8gb machines) but anyway, the different memory hardware and the fact that stuff in the 3.0 kernel was assuming 1GB hard-coded in (hashcode, for example, had to manually change all those bits to make the Kindle Fire 3.0 kernel work)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
TWRP 2.1.4 Worked on NT8

You are absolutely correct about TWRP 2.1.4 - It DID work on my NT8. But now, the 2.2 borks it. I contacted Eyeballer and he is working on something. If you have time, maybe you and he could link?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
Yeah seems 3.0 which was working well enough on 8GB for twrp now breaks on it. The "easy" solution is just to downgrade to 2.6.35... maybe that's his plan...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Nope. Already tried it & it still borks. Something else evidently changed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] player911:
Is there a solution for the Sleep of Death yet? In my experience, this was solved by a kernel.

I have a Nook Tablet 16gb btw.

The Nook was a gift from his grandma to keep at her house that I flashed so he can play regular Android games. CM9 works great but the SoD thing freaks out the grandma and thus wants it off there. Little does she know that without it, she only has an expensive eReader.

I'm also assuming development on this has ceased to exist? Maybe I'm better to pawn it off and pick up something better...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
SoD issue was solved in the second or so build of this ROM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ianc125:
I noticed this exact same issue with my nook when plugged into the wall and charging. This didn't happen at all when I was charging my nook in the US using 120v outlets, but I'm in Italy on vacation 220v outlets and I can't do anything while my nook is charging because of it freaking out. Don't know if that helps at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] daedricgeek:
Same issue as raywaldo and ianc125.

Charging @220v (India) is the prob . The charger however is rated for 100-240V operation...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nark.GA60:

I've noticed similar behavior on previous phones when using cheap wall socket -> USB converters.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
I'm running it right now and its a dream, except for all the SODs those suck. I'm thinking the sods happen when the tab is left idle for say 10 minutes or so. Does anyone know an app that is CONSTANTLY doing something? I'm testing different ways to try and stop the SODs. Any help would be appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nerdyjim:
There is something in the OP that should help the SODs. You could possibly download wake lock from the market and set a constant wakelock to keep the tablet from going into deep sleep, that may help. Just a suggestion I could be completely wrong on that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
Yeah, Fattire and I were discussing this--the temporary fix is probably going to be implementing a wake lock in the kernel of 2.6.35, however we are focusing on getting 3.0.x working fully first.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
OK I'm so excited about this build, I'm testing out the wake lock solution on the partial setting. I'll be doing a variety of tests and get back to you guys on what works best.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
I believe chris' recovery clears the bootcount whereas the one you've been using previously does not.. Additionally, echoing "1" to /bootdata/u-boot.clearcnt (I think, check the instructions) should make CyanoBoot do the same thing.

Also, someone who understands what this sentence means might want to investigate setting a wakelock to deal with the SoD.. this is one of many things i really am unable to test. Again, the reason no one is working on SoD is to move the bulk of effort to the 3.x kernel-- no point in wasting time getting this to work if it's going to be replaced w/another kernel. But now that y'all have the 2.6.35 kernel, someone who is interested can take the time to fix that :)

Update: Holy crap while I was typing this, two posts on the wakelock :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
you're welcome
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
And just a suggestion if its relatively easy, using team B's hw accel could you add that quickly to this build. With that addition I believe I'll start using this full time!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
Unfortunately, the hwaccel from cm7 gingerbread is essentially incompatible with ICS, because many parts of the OS are incompatible. However we have hwaccel working somewhat so far using the 3.0 kernel, so stay tuned!

I would say that he was asking for a status update, not an eta. :)

I've only just purchased a Nook Touch, so I'm navigating this minefield of installing CWM. There seems to be a few different methods and I have no idea which one is the best. Cyanoboot is a foreign concept to me too.

Anyway, more reading to be done unless some kind soul here wants to take a moment to point me in the best direction.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
since someone deleted my replies, I'll post this here again:

For those who are experiencing SoD's and don't want to disable wireless each time (confirming this is a fix), download the WakeLock app from the market and use PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK. This will keep the CPU from suspending completely, which for now is the simplest way to leave your tablet idling while you download etc.

Now, because I can, here is the permanent fix for this at the kernel level:

When the wireless is set to "never turn off" (even when screen is off), you need to enable a partial wake lock, so attach that as a function to PWR button key presses and have it check to see which power option is set by the user for wireless. This can be done in power.c, and the defconfig has syscalls enabled for such functionality.

In the case of a user choosing to have it powered off when screen is powered off, make sure the card is powered down before any other functions carry out. This can also be done in power.c, just make a call to the disable function and a call to the enable function on power-on.

You could technically background the wireless functions as well, which would eliminate SoD but won't fix connectivity issues like the aforementioned patch would.

grid homescreen does not respond

hi all, first off thanks for the development on this rom, I just flashed it and am positively surprised by how solid it is. No real problems at all so far, just the graphic glitches and it seems like wifi reception is not as strong as it should be.

One thing annoys me a bit and I think it is a bug, but it has not been described here so far. I would like to have the whole homescreen space available for widgets and icons, so I set the grid in homescreen settings to 7 columns and 7 rows. But the homescreen doesn't do the change. It stays on 6 columns and 5 rows all the time, also when I change it to 3/4 it doesn't reflect the change on the actual homescreens..

I have never used ICS before so am not sure if I am doing sth wrong or if it's a bug?
