The usual way to install GApps is to install it from the SD card while in CWM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlot2k1:
Thanks - but how do I get in CWM? ROM manager tried it (I think) but I received error message during boot (I believe it was a default BN boot error message). Please note I've never used CWM. I just copied CM7 to SD card and booted.

I suppose a visit to the CWM thread is in order...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I believe this is normal if you haven't flashed CWM over your stock recovery. If this is the case you can use a CWM boot SD boot from it and recover that way and maintain your stock recovery image as well.

Day/Month; Notifications, android.process.media Errors

Hey Guys,

Still having the following issues:

Running the internal alpha Final.

On my Beautiful Widgets (and everywhere else), the day (Friday) and month (March) are displayed as the numbers 6 and 3, respectively. It seems that the system has "forgotten" the names of the days of the week and the months of the year?

When I go into the *system* settings and set the date, it says in the box above "6, 2012 3 09" to denote "Friday, 2012 Mar 09".

Also, audio notification ringtones can't seem to be accessed in settings, always causes android.process.media to error out. Also error's on receiving any notifications.

Android.process.media seems to error out pretty frequently, maybe it's a partitioning issue? Any ideas?

Anyways, great work on the build overall, thank you very much for this.

Swyped from my CM7.2 NT!

Can't Boot CM7 SD - Help maybe on the horizon; I hope

I can't boot CM7 final from SD without tether as many others. I am running internal with stock recovery. I have found a CWM boot SD image that boots every time without tether.

Four different SD cards all boot without tether (2 4g c4, 1 16g c6, 1 32g c10).

Here is a link to the image. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21275927#post21275927 It would be nice if someone else with the tether problem could attempt this. Thanks for looking.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
I'm having the exact same issue. I can boot my 32GB card just fine, but Windows does not detect it properly. I have yet to try another reader.

What brand SDCard do you have?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Microsoft recently pushed a USB update which disabled two of my SDcard readers. I have since purchased an IOGEAR GFR204SD and it works properly. I'm sure other brands will work as well but I don't know which.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlot2k1:
So i can install CWM boot on the same SD card which has CM7? Please note I reclaimed the unpartitioned space.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I don't think so. I'll look into that but my limited ability says no. I use 2 cards one with CM7 and one with CMW. I boot from CWM when I wish to backup or restore and remove that card (unmount first) while still in CWM then place CM7 card in and press reboot in CWM. It works for me.

I retract that. If you use cyano boot it is possible. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522226 I have not tried this yet. Maybe someone else can comment.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlot2k1:
Ok, well I don't have another SD card, and I prefer to keep the stock recovery internally. So can I install the CM7 friendly version of Gapps via an apk file?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Not to my knowledge. Gapps usually are installed as system files and can be pushed with CMW but manual install would take a lot of effort.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlot2k1:
Ok, well I'm getting closer... I now have Cyanoboot installed, and so far it looks like I no longer need the USB cable to boot. Now about that CWM recovery...

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Nooooo! So I found a CWM image, renamed it "recovery.img" and was able to boot to it from Cyanoboot. So far so good. I then installed the GApps from zip.... except it installed to my stock Nook! Arrggghhh! Now I need to factory reset it, and start over :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] residentorca:
That link is still dead. Were you able to get it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlot2k1:
Oh no... factory reset didn't help! The google stuff is still there (touch Android to Begin) and it won't do anything!

At least I can boot into Cyanogen...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Great work. You're making great headway!

Oops didn't see your last post. Try boot into CWM again and push stock restore imgae or while in CWM you should be able to use adb on your pc to do anything you like.

Good Luck. I think you will find gaaps will always be installed into your Nook. I have not done this but you may be able to place the files into your system apps folderon the sd, set permissions, reboot and run them from the SD (completely guessing here).

might get you back to start if you are not worried about losing any data on your nook

hopefully that will fix whatever problem that you are having with your SD card not reading on the NT

as for your original problem - getting gapps on the SD booting CM7...

i had the problem also, and someone noted that it is installed on the SD card by default, its part of the image. i guess we have been conditioned to manually install it by google that its odd for this alpha that its ok to include it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
If GApps installed to EMMC that was not big deal but you used the magic card and that messed things up, now don't do the suggestion above or you will mess up even more:

In my FAQ:

remove your sdcard while in CWM first fix your internal system and after that mess with your sdcard.

Hope This Helps In re-allocating space on microsd

When I go into Control Panel ->Admin Tools->Comp Mgmt->Disk Mgmt, Again it shows only one partition of 29.7GB unallocated space (SD Reader through USB Drive). HOWEVER, if i use a different SD reader, EASEUS will not recognize my card but in Disk Mgmt, it shows five partitions: E: 191MB, 763MB, 1.4GB, 1.3GB and 26.09 Unallocated. Finally, when i load SD into NT and plug in, I am able to see a "disk 2-Super Floppy" called My Nook(Fat32) 1GB as well as Disk3 having F:FAT32 190.73MB, Other *762.94MB, Other*1.4GB, FAT32*1.3GB, and Unallocated 26.09

Any thoughts? Help? Thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]

Not sure if you solved your problem, but use the reader that shows the five partitions, the partition right above the un-allocated space is the one you want to increase.

In EASEUS just select that partition with your cursor and go up to the tool bar that say resize, select it, it will take you to window that will allow you to move a slider to adjust your sector...sllllllllllllllide to right save and enjoy. Hope this helps
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] merlot2k1:
Actually, the magic card didn't do anything. The Nook never booted off it and now it doesn't even mount it. This could be my fault as I repartitioned and reformatted (FAT32) to fit the acclaim zip file.

Also, CWM was only installed on my SD card. After the GApps was flashed to the stock Nook, I powered off and removed the SD card, then I I did a factory reset (holding power + n). This seemed to initiate and run just fine, but after powring it on and going through the registration process, it goes to the stock Welcome to Android screen. Touching Android does nothing. All I can do is go to the quick settings, then full settings from there, but nothing else. It says I'm running 1.4.2. I'm kind of at a loss of what to do. I thought the stock recovery would work.

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Ok, I'm back into my standard Nook! After running the recovery again, this time once the google screen came up, I managed to bypass it with the N button. So, how can I uninstall this GApps? :) (this only work right after I recover, if I reboot N button is dead and I'm stuck at Google)

help please?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] captican:
I have search some of the forums but cannot find any mention of a similar problem:

Last night when I was using my Nook Tablet (purchased Saturday, root Sunday), which I had booted up using an external sd card (CM7), it rebooted back to the standard Barnes and Noble's interface. I figured that an e-mail notification triggered the reboot. So, I powered down and reboot back to the CM7 and, after about two minutes, it booked back to Barnes and Noble.

My question is whether or not this is an expected outcome and whether or not there is some way to keep it from happening again. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] freonchill:
its automatically rebooting or you are choosing reboot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chuckweiss2:
Hey guys,

After about a few days of smooth sailing with CM7, my nook will no longer stay on for more than a couple minutes - if I'm lucky - before it just shuts off. No fanfare, it doesn't just go dark, it shuts completely off for no reason I can figure out. After that, I have to restart it by holding down the power button for a long time, then releasing, then holding power and n for a while. Again, that works if I'm lucky, sometimes it's basically just button mashing to get it to start up again.

It boots into CWM, but I can't get it to install the rom again or wipe data. Also, it won't boot from the sd.

Any ideas whatsoever?

By the way, thanks for your work on the rom.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] captican:
It is automatically rebooting. As I mentioned, the first time I thought it was because I received an e-mail (but, as I thought about this, I began to doubt it). I powered down and then booted it up again with the SD card in, played a couple minutes of Angry Birds, and then it rebooted back to the standard page.

I just put it away after that and have not determined whether it is continued beyond these two times.

The only modification I have done, other than create the sd card, is to update the software from 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 via my pc at home and try to get my emails to function properly.

I can be browsing the Internet but when I tried to send an e-mail, it would say that I was not connected but I do not think this is related to the reboots.

SD Card Boot Tests

Testing:

Patriot Memory 16GB Class 4 (#1)

Sandisk 8GB Class 4 (#2)

Downloaded fresh copy of SD_ROOT_NT16gbV4_6.

A. Followed Albert's instructions for imaging the SD Cards (using the NT as SD Host via USB)

B.Also tried same tests using a PC Card Reader

Results:

Card #1 needs the USB tether for the NT to boot into CWM in both A & B

Card #2 does NOT need the USB tether to boot into CWM in both A & B

These results are consistent with my other tests involving SD cards imaged with CM7 and other flavors of CWM. I get consistent, reproducible results. My Patriot card won't boot and my Sandisk always will when my NT is untethered.

CM7 on Sandisk 8g Class 4

I ordered 8 gig Class 2 cards from Amazon. They decided to ship Class 4 instead so I tried one of them. Crystal indicated Small Block 32 at 1.504, which compares to the Verbatum 8 gig Class 4 which ran at 0.005.

CM7 works much better, in fact, I now think I like it better than the rooted stock. Still having trouble with streaming radio apps, but Earth runs great. I can get used to the location picked up from the wifi.

CM7 boots without a tether. I also got CWM to boot off SD, but haven,t done a backup yet. That is next. Then I'll maybe go internal with the next release.

2 questions. I have used 16gb sandisk to upload alpha final.

1: i actually like the big chunky stock keyboard, is there a way to port it over to cm7, as a added option?

2: i used a 16 gig sd card to store the alpha final, can someone show me the number of partition i have to make in order to fully utilize all the space? Right now, i after i used win imager32 to write the .img on the sd card, it shows only 1 gb left.

Thank you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Use EaseUS

Click your SD card (be sure it is the SD)

Click on the bottom Fat 32 partition (second to last line)

Click the resize menu button, I think the top on the left.

Use the slider and slide it all the way to the right.

Ok

Apply

You're done.

As you have heard before this operation is at your risk. If you messup the SD card no big deal you do it again IF YOU RESIZE YOUR HARD DRIVE THAT WILL NOT BE GOOD.

Do Class 10 SD cards work?

Several days ago started booting my Nook Tablet into CW7 using a Transcend 8GB Class 6 micro-SD. Even used Easeus to extend the last Fat32 partition. Everything works great.

I decided a faster micro-SD might improve boot times, so I purchased an A-Data 16GB Class 10. I can't get this micro-SD to work reliably. After installing a fresh CW7 image, my Nook will boot and I can configure, but it will NOT boot completely after that. On subsequent boots, I get the Team-B logo, but it never gets to the skating Android logo.

I've tried wiping the micro-SD with Easeus and I've downloaded a fresh CW7 image. The A-Data Class 10 card just doesn't seem to work.

So, my question is this: Is Class 10 the problem or is A-Data the problem, or do I just have a bad SD card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
I installed CM7 image on a SAMSUNG 32GB MICRO SDHC CLASS 10.

http://www.frys.com/product/6786695

I haven't had any issues other than that the NT needs to be plugged in to PC / AC Power in order to boot to SD CM7. It otherwise boots to the STOCK rom. This is also a common issue that others experience. At this point, I haven't seen any conclusive anaylsis to show that the issue is caused by a specific microSD card type / brand.

Hope this helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Indeed, it is becoming very clear that different microSD cards perform differently with this CM7 setup.

Exactly WHAT it is about the cards that is causing the different (abnormal) results is not yet clear.

I use an eight gb, class 10 sd card from "Amazon Basics." I have not had any problems booting CM7. I have not repartitioned the sd card or done anything other than load the CM7 alpha using the image from CelticWebSolutions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826).

I have had the tablet reboot back to stock three times while using the sd card but I am not (yet) convinced it has anything to do (solely) with the card (although I have not identified the reason for the three reboots). On the occasions when it has rebooted, I just power down and reboot back to CM7.

Done as you described, and windows explorer still shows only 156 mb free on a 16gb card after I put alpha final on with win32imager... EaseUS shows 14 gb free fwiw...

What is the minimum size gb SD card i can get by? I've used a 4gb and it seems to be fine.

I suppose I still don't have full access of the NT's internal memory, i.e. still only 1 gb user available, is that still true? Can I swap SD card after boot-up? like watch a movie or something if I use a 4gb SD card to boot up the NT from now on?

More micro-SD Card Testing

Others on this thread have stated that the 4K QD=32 writes should be above 1 mb/sec for a micro-SD card to work. I tested my A-Data class 10 card with CrystalDiskMark and it's 4K QD=32 writes are a terrible 0.036 mb/s. Then I tested my Transcend class 6 and it scored 0.046 mb/s. So... my Transcend card should work. But it does. It works perfectly.

I also purchased a SanDisk 16gb Class 6. It's 4K QD=32 writes bench at 1.53 mb/s. As expected, the SanDisk card works fine as well.

Just so you know: If you do an image save of your running CW7 micro-SD card using Win32DiskImager, you can restore that saved image to a new micro-SD card and your Nook Tablet will boot in to the version you have previously configured. Nice way to do a backup.

Yea, running was a poor choice of words. I should have said current. I just shutdown down the NT, pulled the micro-SD, put it in an adapter, copied its image using Win32DiskImage to my PC, then wrote that image to another micro-SD .

Thank you to everyone with all of the responses saying Thumb Keyboard is working for you.

Is there any specific way you installed it?

I am just trying to download and install straight from the amazon app store. Did you get it from the Amazon App store or did you get it from the Google Play Store?

I do not have it installed as a system app. It force closes whether it is installed as a system app or whether it is installed regularly. I am not restoring any data. I originally tried to install it as a regular app. It worked perfectly until I rebooted. It then force closed every time. It continued to do this with each reboot. I then uninstalled, reinstalled as a system app. The same problem persisted. I uninstalled and reinstalled straight from the Amazon app store...problem persisted.

Has anyone had the same problem that I am experiencing...and found a way around it?

Update: I now have it working! I did a system search for beansoft and i had a random file sitting around that wasn't getting deleted. After the delete, a reboot, redownload, and reinstall, it is working perfectly!
