Popping the SD card out worked, which is odd because I've got a new NT. And I'm running CM7 on internal... But thank you for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Completely UNRELATED to the SD partitioning question... ;)

My phone/apps/browser quick links at the bottom have been randomly disappearing. They come right back when I reboot, so no PERMANENT damage, but it's irritating nonetheless. Is this a common problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I'll take a swag at it. You see the sdcard icon appear and disappear sometimes. You look in LOST.DIR and have several lists. If this is true backup what you can from your card as it is having trouble being read and may fail you soon. If this is the case you can sometimes reformat and save it.

Good luck! Hope you don't answer yes to either of my observations...

CM7 SD Card experience

Which install are you using (Internal or SD): SD

What version is your CM7 download that you are using (should be alpha final now): Final Alpha build March 7th

Do you have any mods on your NT (updates or system modifications): NONE, NT is 16GB w/stock B&N v1.4.0 ROM

I created 2 SD card images on different uSD cards, using the 4GB image and re-partitioned the last partition (FAT32) to take up the rest of the unallocated space after it.

Here's my experience...

CARD1: SanDisk 16GB SD C4 SDSDQ-16384-A11M

CARD2: Samsung 32GB SD C10 MB-MSBGA/US

CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1 x64 results

CARD1: Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 1.341 MB/s [ 327.3 IOPS]

CARD2: Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 2.484 MB/s [ 606.3 IOPS]

Booting NT from SD cards

CARD1: Boots fine to CM7 on SD card w/o USB power attached

CARD2: Needs USB Power attached to boot CM7 on SD card, otherwise boots stock B&N NT 1.4.0

More to come...

P.S. Just wanted to add I used win32diskimager on WIN7-64 Home Premium to create the SD cards and gparted-live and nano to extend partition and edit build.prop

I just did a scan back through lots of posts. I *think* I am observing that sandisk class 4 cards have always worked--booted without usb connection.

If anybody has a Sandisk class 4 that requires usb to boot, please post to refute my observation.

New Kernel/Boot Probe?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
No, my problem (I think) has nothing at all to do with my sd card. I'm running cm7 off internal, using my sd only as storage. No, the quick links are on my Android desktop, at the bottom of the screen---THOSE are the buttons that occassionally disappear.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
I properly understood your post. I run internal as well. There are numerous apps that have sd access and use it regularly (including system installed). I had the problem you mentioned as well as sdcard symbol also showing sometimes. Checked my lost.dir and had numerous issues. Within 2 or 3 days I lost the sd (8gig c6).

I don't know anything else to suggest. Someone with much more knowledge will respond.

Good Luck!

I have an 8G Sandisk Class 4 which needs usb to boot. Have not tried others (yet).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Shadowblight:
This is possible. I just got these NTs about a week ago, and as soon as I got them, took them in to re-partition before I got what I wanted going with the external install here.

I guess we should maybe try to keep track on any commonalities to narrow out the cause for this and therefore if there's an easy solution to it.

For the record therefore I have:

2 NTs

Running External CM7

Samsung 32GB Class 10 SD

Re-partitioned for 8GB on internal Nook space for sideloading, which REQUIRES

1.4.2 firmware

I -do- require the usb to power on into the CM7 system. My nook REFUSES to power on with ANY SD card inside, though it should be noted that this has since before they re-partitioned it. (I know, because I was playing with trying to get it powered on with Albert Wertz' R3 card initially, as well as just a blank one. Let me tell you I had a small heartattack each time I couldn't get it to power on, until I did finally figure out it was because it didn't want the SD card in while powering on.)

Let's see, what else... oh. It did power on with that R3 card I mentioned earlier in the SD card slot ONCE while holding Power + Nook button, though tbh, I don't know what that does. It would proceed to do nothing else at that point until I took out the SD card. That was before re-partition as well. Was still 1.4.1.

Also, the guy @ the B&N doing the partitioning was reading the instructions as he went along, and it stated that all one had to do was 'plug in the USB' to get it to power on with the partitioning SD card inserted. Reflecting back on it, we BOTH thought at the time that it meant the USB > computer, which of course we did and nothing happened, so we ended up powering it on normally... but now I'm thinking their instructions was trying to do them exactly what I have to do with mine now. So maybe that's another +1 that B&N themselves have put something into the mix? I recall the partition SD was 4gb, and I am pretty sure (80% or so on this one) it was class 4.

Nook won't boot from dead battery

I need some help. I have CM 7 Alpha running on my NT. Last night, my battery drained to zero and I haven't been able to get it back up again. When I plug it in outlet to charge (using nook factory charger and wire), it would loop into the N screen over and over again. Tried holding down the power button and nook buttom, but no success.

Any ideas?

Nevermind I got it to reboot after putting in my Bootup microSD card that I made to root the device. :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
Sure, one can. All one need do is put them in the \Nook\MyDocuments folder on the SD card, and the Nook app should be able to read them. I use an author\document structure, and the Nook app handles that without any hiccups:

\\mnt\sdcard\Nook\MyDocuments\Author\BookTitle\epub file

I've had mixed luck with cover art, though. I don't know if my problems are related the Nook app, or how I configured the ePubs in Calibre.

Saludos,

Steve
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
OK, good. But HOW do I get them from Calibre to that specific place? In Calibre, I see on the toolbar buttons for

Send to device (often grayed out or not there)

Device (often not there)

Card A (often not there)

Save to disk

Connect/share

Which of these does what you are saying? If I use one of them (again, which one?), how do I know where the books are going to (where they are landing)?

It simply is NOT clear what the RIGHT method is.

I am booting off of a Samsung 16GB class 6 card. I had been having to keep my Nook tethered in order to boot to CM7 but I found that when starting from a complete shutdown if I push and release the power button and then push it again for about a second or two when the "n" logo appears, it boots into CM7 without being tethered. It has worked everytime. I hope this helps with others and forgive me if this has already been posted as I don't get to login and catch up very often.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TuInfinity&Beyond:
It takes 1~2 secs Power Button press to power on my NT. After that doesn't matter what button I press if it's not on USB power it won't boot the SD card. I've tried every combo I could think of (other than a hidden screen area press) to get it to boot off the SD card and no go.

Since I'm a NOOB and not allowed to post on the Develoers Forum, I thought I would throw this out there.

At the very bottom of the first post of the [ROM] page is a link that goes nowhere and also confused me.

Other NOOBS are being castrated for mentioning it.

So, let's not mention the fact a Deveoloper has a bad link in his SIG, I think it's considered a sin to talk about it ;-)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
The link you speak of worked correctly when it was posted. While the OP was on holiday someone took the link down.

The link you are in is now the correct place to make your post. You may not have noticed but none of the deves for this rom have posted in this thread for a long time. They are working hard on new things and expect us to help each other while their talents are better used developing.

I hope this helps ease your pain.

Status

Greetings,

I tried the March 9th release on about the 10th or 11th. Everything worked well except for video which is one of my favorite features of the NT. The audio and video were out of sync.

Somehow I messed up reverting back to stock so that took me several hours of effort, but in the end I was bale to get back to a rooted stock 1.4.0.

I would like to try CM7 again, but cannot seem to find a definitive list of working/not working with this ROM. I am hoping to avoid my messy revert if some features are still not working.

Can someone point me in the right direction to see what is working and what is not? I have read through this thread as well as the CM7 Alpha March 9th Update thread in Development. But with so many pages and no updates to the OP, I am wondering if I am overlooking something obvious.

Thanks for the help.

Doug M.

Nothing has changed since you last installed the rom. There have not been any updates. I expect next you will see a beta as was stated in the dev thread.

is it time to update?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
I am running Go Launcher EX in CM7 a Final Interal.

I see what you report. I have found no permanent solution.

I have Go Launcher set this way:

Menu>Preferences>Screen Settings>Status Bar = unchecked

Menu>Preferences>Gesture Settings>Glide Up Action>Function>Show/Hide Status Bar = Selected

To eliminate the overlap I tap the \/ soft button which hides the Status Bar then I do a Glide Up gesture & the Status Bar re-appears, pushing the Dock Bar up eliminating the overlap.

The fix is temporary though and will reappear on any return to a home screen. I suspect GO Launcher EX to be the source of this issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:


I just did a fresh install of cm7 today and prior to doing the wipe and fresh install it already had cm7 alpha final from march 9th on the nook. Previously i did not have this issue so i can only assume it have a setting differently than I did before wiping my nook and starting over
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
Did not have CM7.0.a long enough to have noticed it there. What you say would indeed point to CM7 Final, unless Go Launcher interacts with Final differently than .0.a
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
I'm not using go launcher, so I'm not sure if there is a setting to modify that, however if you are alright with the status bar being on top you can move it up there and it should fix your problem.

Settings -> cyanogen mod settings -> tablet tweaks, uncheck the bottom status bar check box.

Hello

I know I am probably asking for a tongue-lashing for such a basic first post, but here goes:

I would like to install the sdcard version of cm7...

1) Is it necessary to root or unlock the bootloader to use the sd version?

2) Will the new RC0 version of cm7 that is released as source be compiled and released as an sdcard standalone version?

Thanks for any help,

Chuck
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
As I understand the answer to the first question is no. The SD card CM7 boots and is self contained. Like a dual boot. From off NT boots to CM7 a soft boot takes you to stock. In CM7 all files, cache, downloads, etc. are on the card and nothing writes to the internal.

Read this thread ALL of it to decide what brand SD to use and what size. You will have to repartition that last sector if you need any spapce file files.

I don't know about the other.

32GB SANDISK CLASS4 PROBLEM (a method to make mounted to nook)

*SD CARD PROBLEM (SANDISK 32GB CLASS 4 CARD)

It happens all Sandisk Cards,I also tried to mount an 2gb sandisc card,it didint mount to CM7 too like 32gb version.

Here my solution.

Make CWM to your card,and let it repartition to your card.

Download Minitool Partition Wizard Home (FREE)

Find your partition in the program (70mb FAT32 the other unlocated)

Change the 70mb part size to (resize) 29.7gb

It will seen by the Nook

CM7 Date Format

Is it normal for CM7 to not have the date option as MMM DD YYYY,i.e., APR 03 2012?

All the date options available are numeric based. I also think that CM7's date format is somehow causing a conflict in Enhanced Email to return a number (1,2,3 etc) instead of the Weekday (Mon, Tue, etc).

Anyone else getting slowdowns?

Occassionally, maybe once a day or every other day, I get extreme slowdowns on my NT. Screen updates are jerky and sometimes get FC's as it can't keep up with requests.

I've cleared cache, deleted Application Cache and Data, uninstalled unneeded apps, and tried different SD cards.

As it stands, CM7 on the NT is not as smooth as CM7 was on my previous NC. This shouldn't be, since NT has a much faster processor.

Is it just me, or have others experienced this issue?

Using latest 3/7 SD version of CM7.

E:Can't mount /cache

I recently installed the internal version of CM7 and ran it for a few days. On the first reboot the Nook kept locking up just past the Team B splash screen. After a restart it keeps booting straight into CWM 5.5.0.4 with the error E: Can't mount /cache/recovery......

I installed CM7, GApps and the build_update.zip from the support thread. I don't have adb running because I recently switched to an iMac and never plugged in the Nook before it got stuck. Currently I'm going to try Adam Outler's recovery and see what happens. I have no idea why it can't mount the cache.

Finally took the plunge and installed CM7 Alpha Final Build 3/9 internally and love it! Awesome work guys, and the work is much appreciated.

Only have been using it for less than 24hrs so far, but no major problems to report so far. Runs and looks great.

Only minor thing I've encountered so far:

"Sometimes when asleep device will not wake using home button. Power button should work without issue"

While I had Titanium Backup syncing a couple hundred files to Dropbox the screen timed out as as it normally should, then the Nook button wouldn't wake it back up, BUT neither would pressing the power button. I could press either or both repeatedly for awhile and it wouldn't turn the screen back on. However, if I just waited for about 5 minutes and then pressed the Nook button a few times it woke up, but then the syncing to DB was interrupted and had to be restarted in order to continue. (It was replicable).

Almost like a good ol fashioned Windows IRQ conflict, as if there were some sort of processing conflict between the screen/power and the uploading, where it couldn't do both at the same time, or something.

Noob here...

I just put the CM7 Alpha build on my rooted nook tablet. Internal method.

I tried searching for this issue, but maybe I just suck at searching. I searched this thread...since it was the CM7 thread.

I can't run Hulu Plus on the tablet. It is giving me a device not supported dialog.

I'm surprised there is nothing when I search.

I'm a Hulu Plus guy, so I may need to go back to stock if there isn't a fix...

Not sure how to clear dalvik for CM7 on SD card.

Update: Found it on TB (didn't know about that).

I'll look for an SDCard speedup utility....any you recommend?

I'll also try Fix Permissions from within TB.

Update: Thought this was in TB, but can't find it (but did find clear dalvik).

Update2: Found in ROM Manager. Applying now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
You also put this in the dev thread...better for the discussion here.

Yes, you can then get the tablet either into CM7 from the card or into native Nook.

The details of how seems to be sightly different depending on who-knows-what. On mine, with the CM7 microSD card in, if you boot from a TOTALLY Off state, it boots from the card into CM7. If you reboot from any non-power off state, or if the card is out, it boots into native Nook.

Some people have cards that require power cord to be plugged in to boot into CM7. As I understand it, you cannot tell in advance if yours will work that way.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
The CM7 image created four partitions on your card and left the rest of the space as unallocated. Resize partition 4 to consume to rest of the unallocated space after it. Then it will be usable. You can do this in EASEUS.

I'm going to be careful here and state first, side loading paid aps to your device is highly frowned upon on this site, now moving on.

Your best bet is changing the build.prop. to look like a different device. I have not been able to do this succesfuly, I am always thwarted.

Otherwise, download the file to your other android device, [you already paid for it] and then find it useing a file explorer. Send the .apk file to your nook, install from there, and go!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Not my experience...card operation seems faster than stock NT16. Did you build the card using the file links in the first post? Have you rebooted?

On market, did you get through the steps of entering your account? Have you looked in settings to be sure you have wifi connection? Don't feel insulted--just checking bases.

I would suggest reformatting and reburning the card. Also, I saw somebody else write who had a problem with a brand new card, so possibly it is a bad card, but I would try reburning the image first.

I agree with what people have said, first boot can be a little slow but once running its a decent speed and you won't usually know its running from SD.
