Smooth install :cool: So far the only thing I've seen different is the battery indicator at the bottom of my screen/tray. It stayed on yellow for a very long time and then I got that 'crazy' erratic effect where my NOOK appeared haunted :D Next I looked at my battery widget to see it was on 11 percent and in the red.

I used the internal ROM option and it worked flawlessly. I was installing all the apps my wife would need and go to the BN app. It worked, but when I try to run a "read to me" type of book, it said the device would not run it. I check my Maxx and my Xoom, they too won't run it.

So, I suspect there's an app that's now missing as I know the Maxx and Xoom run perfectly, and I believe this CM7 does as well.

Any one know what app this might be? Or how to get it? Or any other solution? I'll search too, but this change is pretty fresh so I thought others here may have just had this similar learning.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Ack. Well, I reset density to 160, rebooted, uninstalled the LCD Density app. Still get the "incompatible with your device..." from the market for Dropbox.

If that fixed the problem for you, please give more details...what I did failed to fix it.

cant boot into cm7 sd anymore....

I successfully burned the img to a SD card per dev instruction. NT booted into the CM7 final without a hitch. I played with CM7 all night installed a bunch of apps. I left it on all night with the screen off. This AM, I decided to boot into stock NT to retrieve something. So I powered it off from CM7, removed SD card, and then power it up to stock.

After I got what I needed, I powered it off, insert the SD card,and attempted to bootinto CM7. However, I tried several times and I can only boot into stock with SD card recognized in stock. What did I do wromg here? How come I cant boot into Cm7 SD anymore?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
I have the same problem, except I have CM9 internally installed. CM7 booted only once from the SD, only the initial booting. It never boots from the SDcard again.

It is likely the files you are playing that will not work with HW acceleration. I have watched several shows with HW acceleration played from the SD card and across my LAN just fine.

I don't know about e everyone else but mine will only boot to CM7 from the SD card while plugged into the charger or my PC.

CM7 SD booting issues...

Yes, you are absolutely right. I plugged it to my charger and it finally booted into SD. I must say that I didn't have to do that the VERY FIRST time that I booted into CM7 SD.

Tried the above suggestion and it didn't help.

Can other CM7 SD users comment on their experience on this? It is slightly annoying that one can't reboot into CM7 SD w/o connected to a charger / PC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
Much thanks you sold me i will get a nook. I am excited!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I'm sure this issue is related to the SD reader on the device, I had one NT do exactly the same, it booted once without issue, then after that it refused without being tethered. My 8gb won't boot SD unless tethered either. To really confuse things I had one that needed to be tethered every time then weirdly it started working without being tethered. All very odd. Its as if being tethered gives it that extra second or so to run boot files on SD before it reverts to internal.

Quality control issue maybe?

Hardware Decoding

Hi guys, so from what I've been reading so far in this thread there's people with H/W decoding full working, others with it semi-working, and some with it not working at all.

As of right now, I'm in the semi-working boat because mine only works if I convert my videos to mp4 with handbreak. So far I haven't been able to make H/W decoding work with any mkv on either Mx video player or Mobo. Heck, not even avi files let me do it.

So here I raise my question, if you do happen to have it working; what settings did you select on your video player? what codec do you have running to make it work?

Please help shed light on this issue :D

Right now I have Mx Video player running with the NEON codec and no luck, also tried with the ARM7 codec and no dice either.

On a side note: HD youtube videos work perfectly for me, not sure if it has anything to do with the subject in hand but I felt like pointing it out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dcgrove:
This is the video I watched this morning. Works while streaming over LAN, and while played locally from SD Card. I used the script from this thread to convert it. Every video I have converted using this script has worked flawlessly on this build.

What happens if you try to play the original 720p mkv without converting it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Wonder what the difference is? My microSD card boots into CM7 just fine. The only time it doesn't is if an app commands a reboot--then the device boots into stock. But so long as I boot up from a power off state, it boots the microSD.

BTW, I always say 'microSD' card because when I launched into this a few days ago, everybody was talking about "the SD card" so I went out and bought exactly that--an SD card. It isn't an SD card; it is a microSD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dcgrove:
to be honest, I have never tried. There are so many different underlying formats that are contained in any particular container, I run everything I want to watch on my nook through that script to make sure it works. I ran 4 videos for a total of right at 4.5GB last night in about an hour. Obviously your results may vary, but it is easier to run it through the script, than it is to check to make sure each video I want to watch meets the required container/codec specifications for the hardware.

sorry for the stupid question, couldnt find an answer in the OP or this q&a posting

testing this out for a co-workers who got the nook tablet on my advice last year, knowing it might be a month before the dev's got a SD booting cm7/cm9 for the nook tablet, testing this release out to see if they like it.

nook tablet 16gb

1. got the SD zip and unzipped and wrote img to 4gb SD card with winimage

2. booted (took me a couple pages in this topic to find that it will only boot to SD with power connected)

3. shutdown, pulled SD card and put gapps on it on the PC

question: how do i get it to boot SD recovery to install gapps?

or do i need to have it on the SD before i boot from SD for first time?

or is there another way to install gapps?

i do not want to touch in internal nook os in anyway (so, cant use rom manager, as i think someone alluded to on one of the posts here, perhaps they were talking about an internal usage)

thanks,
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wammie:
This is the original file.

This is the converted file.

If you convert it, H/W worked flawlessly in the NOOK, but if you didn't it; it even said H/W decoding wasn't even supported.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
With the SD CM7, you shouldn't have to put gapps via a PC. I set mine up last night and, if I remember right, Google Play is alread on there. I do have a Gmail account so I signed in w/ my Gmail account via Settings, and I have full market access w/o doing anything else. I did not boot into SD recovery.

Hope this helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
On the SD card boot, mine does this too. If I go directly to the wireless settings in Setup, the connections restores instantly. I imagine that it is doing something to restore that connection, much like those with Wifi Analyzer said it worked for them.

With internal CM7 boot from EMM, there is not the delay I see on SD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
From power off my Nook boots to CM7 from the "micro" SD card just fine. Wifi appears slower than stock, google earth freezes (but doesn't FC) & Tune In & I Heart Radio don't work.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] natkat:
I have three different brands of SD Card Readers. The only way all partitions show in EASEUS is by connecting the NT w/ SD Card in it to my Windows PC. The SD card boot into CM7 perfectly when in the NT. Like you said, I moved it into a PC, then ran the installed EASEUS but I guess it's the final step I'm just not sure of. I guess I'm fearful I"m going to mess something up. Do I just click on the final partition and choose resize? I feel like an idiot for having to ask such a simple question. Thanks for your help:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
This is really strange why there are so many differences.

On microSD card. iheart app works fine for me.

Aside: somebody please tell me where configuration questions for ADW launcher can be asked.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

I don't know why it would show differently with different readers. I just used the one built in to my laptop, with the microSD in one of those adapters that mak it into standard SD size.

As for EASEUS, I think the answer is yes, but don't have the card visible right now. It was the last partition that was NOT unallocated space. That MAY have shown below the last 'real' partition. All I did was select the partition, then move the slider representing the 'right hand edge of the partition' all the way to the right. There were some numbers showing also so you can slide it until remaining space = zero.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Once you know it boots try to repartition. I think I went clicked on the last Fat 32 and in the menu chose resize and slide the slider all the way to the right. Be SURE you do this on the SD card and not your hard disk.

If if doesn't work and boot after you are done reformat re write the image and try again.

Good luck

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] freonchill:
thanks, i didnt really look at the list of apps installed when i was trying to reboot to recovery to get gapps installed.

thanks for pointing it out

as i side note: would google not want it to be a separate package as they do for most roms? in terms of that, guessing that there will be some sort of tutorial when that occurs for a future release of CM on SD for NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
I assume you didn't have to have the NT plugged into the PC / charger during CM7 SD boot?

That is correct. Not plugged into any thing.

I dont mind having to tether my nook to boot to CM7 from the micro :) SD card. I have been using it for 5 days now and I love it! As soon as I know that I can watch Netflix without any issues, I'm gonna dump that Nook junk and install CM7 directly on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dbrickg:
I was having a problem with my sdcard, too. I'd had to eject and reseat it every time I rebooted the nook (or if I tried to do a backup, it would complain that the card wasn't mounted, so I had to eject/reseat the card to get a backup to work). I was using a class 4 card. Tried another and got the same result. Finally I got a standard card (PNY MicroSD HC) and that seemed to work without having to eject and reseat the card all the time.

But now that card seems to be corrupted/broken. I keep losing data when read/writing over usb, and the most recent backup I tried failed the md5 checksum.

ext4 filesystem supported yet?

Hello,

Firstly, I am using the Alpha Final 9th March internal version and it is excellent! I've been monitoring the NT threads since it came out and your efforts are awesome and appreciated!

I have a Nook Color (NC) running Cyanogen mod 7.1 and I am attempting to get my new NT running with the identical apps and configuration.

Question - The NC handles a 32GB SD card formatted to ext4 but the NT does not recognize it. "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem"

Is this a known issue?

[edit] I reformatted the SD card to fat32 and it works fine. Too bad some of my file names are invalid and cannot be copied to it.

Regardless, this ROM is working amazingly well!

Comment: ADW Launcher EX is fine, but if you want REAL smoothness try Go Launcher EX. Night and day difference.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
May have to try that--but I hate to as I have had ADW on my phone for a year and am familiar with it.

Also, HATE to have to recreate all my shortcuts; bah humbug.

But I may have to do that. I discovered that the current version of ADW EX has removed (and cannot be set to reappear) the pagination/navigation dots next to the dock. I =LIVE= with those. Stupid of Anderweb to remove those from the EX version. Paid app and have to dump it. Not happy.

Aside--I set ADW EX as default launcher, then found there is no way to switch back to the native ADW except by force closing ADW EX in app management. And I don't know how you get back to having nook ASK which launcher to use once one is selected as default.

Just tried to get Go Launcher EX. It is declared as your device isn't compatible with this item. So much for that. Have been seeing this A LOT. Someone else said it was fixed by not changing resolution, so I removed LCD Density app--did not fix it.

EDIT: and this issue is surely driving me nuts. I cannot predict which apps will download and which will not. Many have come in without complaint; many say I am incompatible (Dropbox for example). What is looked at by market to decide whether you are compatible or not?

Battery has drained again!

Well, the same thing has happened for a second time with the CM7 Alpha final. I charged the NT, waited until the USB showed green (basically waited overnight until I woke up). When I unplugged the NT from USB I then powered it off. Not two days later I just tried to turn it back on and it would not. When I plugged it back in and tried a few minutes later it said the NT had no battery charge left.

Is it possible that the NT is not really powering off when this is selected after a charge?

I know the battery is okay because when this doesn't happen, the NT lasts a good long time (several hours) before it shows significant battery drain.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
For completeness sake, I must write an update to previous issue of "your device isn't compatible with this item"...

One alleged reason has been a resolution set to other than 160. I had deleted the LCD Density app, but looked in build.prop to be sure...the density WAS at 160. So, not that.

A web search led to a discussion about the same problem on a nook color. The fix there was to clear cache and data for the market app. Voilà . Seems to have solved it.

SD Card issue

I am trying to burn the CM7 final SD image on a 8gb poloroid Class 4 micro sd card.

This card was being used in my NT with the stock rom.

I formatted the card using the NT. (Unmount card followed by Erase SD card)

Removed from SD and stuck it into SD adapter. Then into the SD reader on my desktop.

I am not able to WRITE any thing (add files) on my SD card.

In Disk Management on Win 7, it shows up having 7.4GB but has 'read-only' under it. I made sure the slider on the adapter is not in the 'lock' position.

If I put in inside the NT and connect to PC. I can see both the internal and SD card and now can write to it.

How can I make it writable without using the NT.

Thanks!

I sometimes get a force close error with the Status Bar. The first time it happened was with Beautiful Widgets Animation Add on and I just reinstaled it and it seems to have fixed the problem.

The second instance was with go launcher ex where suddenly the status bar just disappears and doesn't come back... Any ideas?

CM7 Internal Install btw.

Edit: Also the status bar seems to block a bit of Go Launcher. I have the status bar at the top of the screen
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vegasden:
For navigation dots: settings/more/ADW settings/screen preferences. About midway on the page.

To change the default for a launcher, go to Manage Applications, scroll to the app and press on it. Toward the bottom you'll see a button to remove the default. Then, next time you press home you'll be presented the option.

I've never messed with density. Thus I haven't had issues with not being able to find apps, including Dropbox and GoLauncher. If it's just icons you want to enlarge in ADW Ex go to UI Settings/Icons and check the Density Hack box. Makes all Icons bigger. I didn't see this in the basic ADW.
