I just wanted to say that I have had no problems with the internal version of this ROM and am saddened by the loss of the developer. Great battery life, no crashes, this has been the daily driver since I purchased my nook last month.

Thanks for the great product!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
There was a later post indicating that the misunderstanding was resolved, so it appears that my assessment, while accurate at the time, has been overcome by positive events.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
All sorted,it was a simple misunderstanding that got totally out of hand and I was under the impression they wanted a lot more than they actually did. So I posted exactly what they wanted and it's all sorted ;)

I'll post the links back up soon when I have time this evening. Sorry for the drama queen drop out post! A couple of members just dived on the kicking team and I had had enough of it. The vast majority of members on here are extremely grateful and willing. A few just don't like it for some reason!

I've been having a rather busy and extremely stressful time and that was the final straw! But like I said it turns out what I was under the impression was being asked for wasn't actually what they wanted. What they wanted was kernel source which I could have posted a long time ago but didn't realise I needed to!

All sorted, enjoy your CM7 !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Celtic, we certainly do appreciate what you do... And it was dramatic for a while.

I am still banned from the IRC channel, was banned without any warning whatsoever, for a post I made and did not even realize it violated some rule (still don't know what rule I violated). But it is the "without warning" that frankly does frost me a bit. No warn, no charge, no trial, just execution.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I assume that was indirect then if it happened like that. Ah well, it's all done with now, lets all mark it up to experience (and inexperience). Lets get on with what this was all supposed to be about in the first place. A bit of fun which also helps lots of people in the process and leave the crap in the past never to be spoken about again ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] appygal:
OH thank DOG! After spending hours reading the hundreds of pages (like a good noob) and signing up to participate in the fun and tribulations of CM7 then seeing the whole thing fall yesterday was a little heartbreaking. :(

SOO glad to have ya'all back. And now that I've made my first post I can begin to give my 'thanks'.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jznomoney:
I love this rom. Only grip I have is streaming music apps like tune in and pandora crash the phone. Sometimes the stock music app craps out too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
I'm actually saddened that this got resolved, I was counting on indirect doing the CM7 rom which would hopefully have better (some) 8GB and or SD card support.

I love how this rom works off sd but having to plug in your nook to get it to boot is just not practical in a lot of situations.

Just my 2 cents, I'm not trying to bash anyone, was just excited for a fresh take on this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Well thanks for the vote of support!

I only discovered it didn't work on the 8gb a couple of days ago, as far as I was aware it worked perfectly. I actually went out and bought an 8gb NT to check it worked, but hey if you prefer you're more than welcome to go to indirect! Don't let me stop you.

Don't you just love how there are a large number of people on here who want to s*#t on somebody for their own benefit, and they wonder why people aren weary about helping them!

CM7 for Nook Tablet on SD Card

I can no longer find the SD Card image for CM7 for Nook Table. Does anyone if the SD image for download has been remove or did it just get moved to a location I'm not aware of? I know there was an issue about source code, but I thought that was resolved.

Cm7a works on nt8

I hope that my post a few days ago did not mislead you.. Your rom works great on my Nt8 but only via sd.. The internal version bricked my nook. Now, nothing will boot - except the sdcard. But that is the cost of playing on the "alpha" game. :D

I am very appreciative of all your work. It is extraordinary that you purchased an Nt8 in order to better support us!!! Thank you.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

With an internal rom, one can generally flash over it without losing data.

What will happen if I re - flash the sdcard version? Will all the previous data and settings be overwritten?

Is there a way to clean up this list and remove the duplicated entries?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ash16:


I'm glad this works for someone else too. I was beginning to think that i was the only one. You are correct about simply having to press the power button when the n screen comes up. That is the way I was doing it previously. It seemed to me that holding it might be easier until you get the timing down but maybe not.

I did not install anything extra (microSD card version) but seem to have everything I need. Confused.

Link to gapps

Download and install the version for CM7. No need to wipe or anything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] humberto103:
Sweet, I didn't know if the nook had its own package.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Answering self...

http://www.google.com/mobile/android/

However, why not just download the individual ones you want? It seems like getting the whole package is similar to putting a phone vendor's bloatware into the system.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Gapps

You can flash the entire package (with CWM) in just a few seconds. To download and install individually would take much longer. Also, some of the apps (e.g. Play Store, etc) are only available for download and sideload onto the device - not from the Market/Store.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Oh, I understand that. My system had the Market on it when I installed--which converted itself on its own into Play. I didn't need gapps to get Market.

The point was that most people will only want/use three or four of those--so why bring them ALL onto the device (assuming you have Market/Play already)? It's an individual choice of course. One should put whatever they want onto their own device. Want them all--use gapps. Want a few--use Market install. Opinion.

My nt has started acting strange. It shows charging but battery level keeps going down when i use it. Any ideas.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
If your screen is on, especially if your brightness is turned up, the NT can use more battery than its charging rate. Also, with CM7 you can use non NT chargers, which charge MUCH slower than the correct NT charger.

The only way to get Fast Charging is using the original NT charger and wall adaper. Plugging into your PC's usb port will not fast charge. Plugging into your phones USB wall adapter will also NOT fast charge.

I would bet that if you turn off the screen, turn off wi-fi, (But dont turn off the nook) and walk away for 20 mins, you'd come back and see that the battery has gone up a few %.

If I have made a mistake in here, please inform me. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hersh40:
I've been using cm7 since it was released and never had charging issue until recently. I tried cm9 for a short time and when I restored cm7 it started this. Would erasing raving cash and starting from scratch help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Use a battery calibration app that should help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
Battery calibration, as I understand, wouldn't relate to this at all. Many say that battery calibration does nothing at all.

I would say that wiping data, cache, davlink cache, then re-installing is your next step. If your still not charging right, then you may have a defective device. Flash back to stock and see its behavior.

Hope this helps!

16 gb NT won't boot to sd

Hi all, I have had cm 7 running on my 16gb NT since the final release. Recently it will no longer boot to the SD card. This tablet is used by my 10 yr old stepson so i'm not completely sure that he has not removed the card incorrectly however he claims that he has not. He did tell me that he removed it after he noticed that it would not boot anymore but said he did it only after he completely powered it off. I have tried it with it plugged in to the computer, tried holding the power and N button at the same time , and tried just pressing the power button then pressing it again once the N screen shows up. In all instances it shows the first splash screen and then the skate boarding screen then it boots to stock. If anyone has experienced this and knows how to fix it without re-flashing the image i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for any help
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Hmmm, if you're seeing the CyanogenMod7 boot screen, then it shoud be booting from the SD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mraymer77:
Agreed however.....

Thank you Solar.Plexus for your reply and I agree however, I'm not understanding what could be preventing it from fully booting into cm7. All it does after the second splash screen is boot to stock. Any input is appreciated.

Do you have access to an SD Card reader on a linux system?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mraymer77:
To add to my previous.....

Kinda wonder if something in the build or whatever controls the boot can be viewed on my PC and edited to fix this ie., mounting the image with the SD card in the PC. If this is possible maybe someone could enlighten me and I'm hoping I'm not being a total noob about this. I'm down to research wherever I need to go to get it done. I'm actually a long time instructions follower of online guides from forums so not completely new to the game just this one :) Won't consider myself a, dare I say "hacker", I just google and follow directions after I read, read, read, then read it again then go slow as not to brick whatever device I'm trying to apply someone else's work to.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Just sent you a Pm, there may be a bit of back and for to get you going but we'll sort it, if you can still get the CM7 boot screen we can get it working again ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
In my limited experience (~couple of months) with CM7 (off an SD card) I've have had some freshly downloaded and installed apps crashing on initial runs and triggering the NT into spontaneous reboot (running Fix Permission usually eliminates these crashes). And the NT whenever rebooting invariably boots from stock ROM regardless of the cause/trigger of the reboot, even when the tablet is USB-powered/tethered. So I am guessing what might be causing your problem is some process/app on auto-start fatally crashing during the initialization.

no boot still

with the direction of another user i cleared the cache and dalvik-cache and still no joy.

old_fart, not sure if you were asking me about the sd card or not but this is the only one i have for this application and it is a PNY 16 gb class ten.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
only one... ah, darn... its just that some brands/classes of sd cards are very good at 'sequential' thruput, but then stink at 'random'. And you really need the later. This is 'only' my guess that the physical characteristics of the sd card is the problem maker. ( just my guess )
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Unless there is something on that card you desperately need, I would suggest making a new one using a Sandisk 8GB class 4 card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] twofish:
Thanks for an awesome ROM guys! Been happily running since day 1.

Just curious if the internal memory access has been set up yet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tel864:
I can second that. I just dumped at class 10 card for a Sandisk Class 4 and it solved several problems I was having with CM7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fiddler17:
When I try expanding the 1st partition on my 32 GB card to include all of the unallocated space I can not boot into CM7. It even takes several minutes before it will boot into the Nook OS. It works great if I add the unallocated space to the 4th partition but I really would prefer to have it on the first so that the space will still be available for storage on the Nook side as well. Any ideas why this is happening or how to make this work?

By the way, I'm using a Nook Tablet, purchased early December 2011.

Thanks,
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Would one of you please explain why we would want the added space to be an expanded 1st partition rather than the 4th?

If we put it on the 4th, is it unusable?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fiddler17:
The reason that I personally want it that way is because I want the extra space available to the Nook stock OS, which only reads the first partition. It seems to me that if the extra space is on the first partition it should be accessible to both CM7 and Nook.

Someone somewhere offered another suggestion, which involved rooting into the Nook configuration and changing it so that the stock OS will read the 4th partition by default instead of the first, but as that involves changing the stock OS, I'd rather avoid it if possible. I don't want to void my warranty just yet.

If you've got another way of accomplishing this please let me know.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
No, I know of no way to do ANYTHING :).

Part of my lack of understanding is that when something is to be saved, I never get asked "which partition do you want to store it on?"

Also, when I am looking at folders in a file manager, nothing there shows what partition the folder in "on."

Thus, I have seen no way to connect anything to anything else. If I expand partition 1 or 4, I have no idea where the expanded space "went."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Your NT will automatically mount only the first partition of your SD card unless you tell it to do otherwise.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Prof. Penguin:
Is "telling it otherwise" an edit to the fstab or is there an app/setting for it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
on my other devices, ( when i hook up ) i see two drives but on the NT, i see only one ( the external storage ).

Veronica mentioned "Multi Mount SD-Card" as an interim fix to this loss of functionality. hth.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fiddler17:
My brother showed me a link that tells you how to have the Nook mount the 4th partition. I'm hesitant to try it but I may give it a shot if I can't figure out anything else. The only thing is that the "file expert" app that they reference in the link below does not give you the root access capability for free. You have to pay extra now. Someone on another thread suggested Ghost Commander.

It seems very difficult to tell to me also. I found someplace in the settings that let me look at the available space but I wasn't completely sure what I was looking at. But I looked at my sd card on my PC using the MiniTool Partition Wizard (free download for PC). If you select the 4th partition and then on the sidebar on the left you should be able to select "Explore Partition" it will let you see the files that are on that partition. If I remember correctly those files seemed to correspond to the contents of /mnt/sdcard when I was browsing in the CM7 file manager. So, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the 4th partition is what CM7 is calling SDCard.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
That's correct. Just change "auto" to "4" so that your NT knows to mount the 4th partition of the SD card. The file is vold.fstab located in /etc.

Wifi issues

First of all. THANK YOU for your solid work on this alpha CM7...best alpha i've ever dealt with for sure. :)

I'm really sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere else and i've just missed it. My wife's NT has to be rebooted everytime she walks away from it for any period of time just to get wifi working. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

Voyaging
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
It has been discussed in many posts. Did you do any reading or searching?

Your description sounds more extreme than others however. Are you sure it needs rebooting?

Have you tried just turning wifi off then back on? Also, Some have reported that also using an app called Wifi Analyzer (open/close) speeds up the wifi getting into connected state.

But it is true that when it goes to sleep, it usually loses the wifi connection and that has to be re-established.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
The fix is to not have Wi-Fi sleep when the screen is off. I warn you, this will reduce battery life GREATLY. I turn Wi-Fi off when I am setting the nook down overnight. The benefit is that it always re-connects easily.

Wi-Fi Settings->Menu button->Advanced->Wi-Fi Sleep policy.

Hope this helps!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
please give us more info about 'what has been done' to the nook. what alteration made the problem show up ? thx.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
This is because our Wifi drivers are not awesome yet. This problem existed in stock 1.4.0 also.

Celtic is very busy right now with his wife and job, so this is what we have until ICS is finished. Once its complete its highly likely Wifi will be more stable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fiddler17:
Sorry to be so dense but can you please direct me to where this particular vold.fstab file is? The one that is easily located in /etc appears to be the one that CM7 is using and it's already mounting partition 4 as "sdcard". How do you get to the vold.fstab file that the stock OS is using? I've tried, as suggested elsewhere to do as root:

mkdir /mnt/nooksys

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /mnt/nooksys

but I get an error that says that the device or resource is busy.

I figure there aught to be a way to make text across the device in all the aps larger....?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Not an issue I've come across myself I must say and I've gone form internal to SD a few times. If you just reboot while running from SD it will boot back into the internal anyway. To boot SD the device always has to be started from completely off so no need to pop the card out to boot internal. I shall look into it later today though to make sure nothing strange happens to the card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
The first boot can be a a minute or two before the CM7 animation shows then then another minute or two before it's booted up.. After that, consecutive boots will be much quicker :)
