Problem with music player

I am encountering a strange problem while playing music (mp3 format) files while my headphones are plugged in. A few songs play correctly, then it starts skipping few seconds ahead and then starts skipping songs alltogether. Then the music player FC and cannot be started again.. also other apps like mx player and file explorer cannot be opened AFTER the music player crashes. Only option is rebooting which sometimes takes very long and sometimes just crashes

I am running cm7alpha final (internal).. no mods,running stock music player, mp3 s placed on sd card (new, original) mp3 s are also fine on phone and pc. I tried clear data but issue persists. Could not replicate without headphones but didnt try for long..

Is this a known issue or only hapening to me?. Is there any way i can make log of this problem?

Same thing with media player

Exactly the same with media player.

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

What version is your CM7 download that you are using (should be alpha final now): alpha final

Do you have any mods on your NT (updates or system modifications)

If yes to above what have you installed: veronica MOD foe repartition the internal memory, also corected typo for mounting "/mnt/media"

Where is this bug (main system or which application): media player freeze

Can this bug be easily replicated: when the screen closes .

I hate to post this again...but this is the third post in this thread about Thumb Keyboard now and no one has responded.

Thumb keyboard force closes after every reboot. It must be uninstalled and reinstalled each time. This is the same problem it had with the stock B&N rom when rooted, but even worse. I can't find a way to prevent the force closes after reboot (even after following the same instructions the removed the force closes on the stock B&N rom).

This problem did not exist before moving to the CM7AlphaFinal version.

I know at least one other person is having this problem and posted in this thread. Does anyone have any suggestions/thoughts?

Noob Question related to CM7 SD release

Hi Everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster...

I recently installed the SD version and it seems to be working great. Thanks to all involved. One question, how do I partition my 16 gig SD card or expand the 4 gig ISO partition? I dont mind having a 4 gig 16 gig card (for now) but for furture releases (or maybe a tripple boot Nook/CM7/CM9 card) it would be nice.

I hit the thanks buttom many times so wont say it here...again....:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
T expand the last partition on your sd you just use some thing like http://www.partition-tool.com/ on a windows machine, or Gparted on a linux machine.

You should be able to find instruction for either very easily on the internet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I feel so stupid. Maybe I am.

Have been wanting for a long time to go with the SD card CM7 approach. So the SD card version is released a few days ago. Hurray.

I rush to the store and buy an 8GB SD card.

You guess the rest.

Lol sorry about that.

Note to everyone heading to Best Buy....grab a Micro SD ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
OK, happy camper (other than owning an 8GB SD card I don't need). Went back to first, close store. microSD's were insanely expensive (none on sale). Called Staples. Have one on sale. Go 7 miles there. Buy. Back home.

Burn the microSD card. Adjust the last partition to use all remaining card space. Go through the setups. Only minor glitch was that it asked to 'attach' the Google account before wifi was on. And it said "this might take 5 minutes." So wait wait wait--then fail. Finally skipped that part, got wifi up, then entered the account.

THIS IS NICE!! I have a tablet computer now without question. ADW launcher! Same as I have on my Captivate with DG's Cognition. Easy adaptation to it. Donation coming. You guys rock!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
What would be the advantage of using the sd card method rather than just downloading the file to your Nook?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
1. You can go back to stock Nook anytime you want to (need help at the store?) (warranty?).

2. Some things (only a few) allegedly work better in native Nook.

3. Wife may not want to learn a new interface (kind of a biggie with me).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Like Movrshakr said there are a lot of advantages to SD version. Since the root is loaded into memory the performance is nearly identical to that of the internal version. The only real downside performance wise is that you are limited to your sdcard's r/w speed when using applications that require access to data or cache (since both are actually on your card and not the internal storage).

I guess the only thing that will really handcuff you when using SD is that you cannot for any reason remove the sdcard while using it. You also cannot erase or format your sdcard without loosing everything on it (all 4 partitions) but we are working on an update that will fix this is the future.

Otherwise it is just as good as internal ;)

dd error - SD physical problem

fwiw...I am using dd in Linux to burn the new SD release. I was getting the following error:

Also was getting messages like this in dmesg:

Retried a few times and the error was consistent. Realized that this looked like a real sector error on my sd card. So grabbed a different sd card and sure enough it completed successfully.

Just wanted to let folks know, if you see this error. It is probably a physical SD card problem.

By the way I've been using the original SD release since it came out and have been *loving* it!!! Psyched to upgrade to this release...thanks to all!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nerdyjim:
Do you write the img to the SDcard using win32diskimager and then resize the last partition? I am pretty sure this is how it works but would like some clarification.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
I know this has been discussed as nauseum, but I just flashed CM7 (yes, I love it!) And assumed that I should be able to access the whole of the internal memory. Unfortunately, all I can see on my laptop are the same two storage areas---MyNook, and my SD card.

What am I missing? Are we still having to access the main partition through Root Explorer?

ACK!!! #2... I went to open MxPlayer before I went to bed, to make sure everything's working as it should, and I get the following error---"Cannot create state save file. Please check free space and Write permissions of the device."

Thoughts?

Access to the entire internal memory hasn't been worked on yet, there aer a couple of ways we could do it but currently we want to get the main system fully functional and stable first. We had though about giving access the the internal area as SDCard then the real sdcard as sd-ext but like I say we just haven't got around to that yet and probably won't for at least another week or two.

SD Version: Do NOT format SDCard partition

I just want to let people know to be careful when formatting their SD.

I tried imaging in Windows, but that wouldn't boot. However, I booted Ubuntu in Vbox and used dd. It failed after writing 500 MB or so. For whatever reason I was able to boot to CM7 from the SD.

I then attempted to resize the last partition. That worked, but when I booted to CM7 the partition was not available. I clicked format. Bad move. It wiped the entire SD card out.

I attempted to use dd again and it failed after only a 100MB. I tried again, and it failed even sooner. Maybe this is an issue with the virtualbox, but I don't know...

Now when I connect my SD card it is no longer writable. I've tried everything. Fortunately Amazon is going to let me replace it.

Nook tablet is no longer booting after CM7 boot loop and forced off (power + n)

And complaint:

NT is no more booting. Screen stays black. Tried all different button configurations. But no chance to get it back to life again

Thank you tonyp22.

I did connect my NT to the charger with the bootable sdcard inserted and walk away. When I came back the NT booted into CWM.

I do not know exactly what happend. Maybe my NT was in a boot loop or crashed with dark screen. Once the battery was empty it completely switched off.

I did now install again a rooted stock rom (1.4.0). I will probably continue testing CM7 just installed externally on a sdcard.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Can someone give me a quick understanding of the file system when you use ES Explorer or File manager while in CM7 booted from card..

at / there are...

/sd-ext

/sdcard

in /mnt there is

/mnt/sdcard

Are the two "sdcard's" the SAME folder/directory, just showing at two different places in the file structure (they each seem to show the same content)?

Are these files/folders in the Nook memory or on the microSD?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ts_hunter:
I made wrote the Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img file to a new 8gb SD card. Now it only shows it has 200mb. I found a freeware sd partition program, and it shows several small partitiions on the SD card. Can any of these be merged into the main 200mb partition that has the CM7 files on it? What program can be used?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
The 4th partition of your SD card is the one CM7 uses as external storage. To merge unallocated space with that partition, you can use software called GParted or Partition Wizard.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Look at post 364 on how to resize the last partition. That should give you the lost space. You will need EaseUS, a quick google search and it is a free download.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
First off, I'm not sure what /sd-ext is. It's empty for me.

But far as I know, /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard are two different paths to the same location.

That said, /sdcard (or /mnt/sdcard) is the last partition of your SD card.

I believe the partition that CM7 lists as internal storage is the third partition on your SD card (1.30GB formatted as ext3).

The only part of actual internal Nook storage on CM7 SD version is the /mnt/media partition.

Anyone feel free to correct where I am wrong.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
And that /sd-ext is also empty for me as well...just wonder what it 'is' since it obviously means "sd-external."

"The only part of actual internal Nook storage on CM7 SD version is the /mnt/media partition."

So, the 8GB new partition size that was done by B&N on my Nook is not accessible--or is that the area (partition) that /mnt/media is looking at?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
/mnt/media is the former 1GB partition of non-B&N content from the stock ROM. So I'm guessing they extended that to 8GB? I didn't let them touch my NT so I don't know what the actual figures get extended to.

Which leaves you with the other 6GB or so left of internal storage that you do not have access to (this was originally the storage reserved for B&N content).

Is that what it says in the storage menu of the stock ROM?

Here's the original partition table from an NT where partition 10 is non-B&N content and 11 is reserved for B&N content:

Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 131kB 262kB 131kB xloader
2 262kB 524kB 262kB bootloader
3 524kB 16.3MB 15.7MB recovery
4 16.8MB 33.6MB 16.8MB boot
5 33.6MB 83.9MB 50.3MB fat32 rom
6 83.9MB 134MB 50.3MB fat32 bootdata
7 134MB 522MB 388MB ext4 factory
8 522MB 1164MB 642MB ext4 system
9 1164MB 1611MB 447MB ext4 cache
10 1611MB 2684MB 1074MB fat32 media
11 2684MB 15.6GB 12.9GB ext4 userdata
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
How do you view the partition table of the internal memory?

I think you are right though; my understanding is that stock Nook was split 15/1 and the repartition made it 8/8. I did not know that the 1 --> 8 was the place named media in the filesystem, however.

I am sure this has already been asked but how do I get the internal sd card to mount on windows. I plug in to the computer via usb and windows sees my external sd card (justa 4 gig card I threw in there because I had it lying around not doing anything) but windows can not see the 11.61 gigs of available space that is built into the nook.

Any ideas is there some drivers I need to get somewhere? I would have thought that I already had them because I rooted successfully and installed clockwork recovery and isntalled cm7 permanently.

And obviously I went into the status bar and clicked to mount it but still not showing up. I need to be able to transfer all my music and everything.

Any help appreciated.

There^^

If anything, you can find the mis-written line in build.prop and then change it from there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
That partition table is from the tool "parted" that is used to manually repartition the NT storage.

And while B&N did repartition your device, it couldn't be split 8GB and 8GB. It's probably more like 6GB (B&N) and 8GB (non-B&N). About 2GB belongs to the other partitions like bootdata, recovery, and the loader.

You could probably verify this by booting into the stock ROM and looking at the storage settings.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] leegoon84:
yeah mount error is related to

ro.additionalmounts/mnt/media

ro.vold.switchablepair/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/media

in the build.prop

you don't have this problem if you upgrade from previous version

but if you come from CM9 and then CM7 A-final

than you have to edit build.prop

ro.additionalmounts/mnt/media

ro.vold.switchablepair/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/media

to

ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/media

ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/media

simple "=" was the issue
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
OK so I did this however in my original build prop there was no / before the mnt so I added the =and the / however when I saved it it added a build.prop.bak in the same system folder (just a backup I assume)

but then when I plug into the computer my computer wants to format the nook it says disk cant be read and it wants to format it I did not do that since I am not sure if that would really screw it up. I also tried removing the / so that instead of =/mnt it is just =mnt but same thing with windows wanting to format disk. Also since I made the change there is no longer an option to mount in the status bar.

Hope this makes sense and thanks for the help. Any help appreciated.

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

Regarding the SD version of CM7, is there any reason why the Internal Storage partition is formatted as ext3?

EDIT: Thinking a bit more and doing more research, is it because ext3 writes faster than FAT32, and even though Windows doesn't support ext3, since it's set up to be the internal storage, it will be inaccessible to be viewed anyway (even if it were a different type of file system)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I can't help you with that issue, but wanted to let you know that I also added the leading slash to make them into full pathspec's, and mine works fine--so that is not what caused the problems you are having.

I think it will work with or without the leading slash because /mnt is AT root level, so the leading slash may be redundant--only if, when this line is used, the system is running "at root" as the current directory. If it is, "mnt" is at the current level and the slash would not be needed. Having it there makes it unambiguous though.

LATER EDIT: I see Celticwebsolutions has posted a file to correct the build.prop for the internal build.
