You need to flash gApps zip the same way you flashed CM7. Latest CyanogenMod zip can be found here:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
What is showing blank? I thought all you needed was to flash gApps?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bubonic78:
The screen goes blank. If I turn it off then plug the nook in it goes in to CWM recovery. Bit no matter what I do after reboot the screen will show the n screen then the white busybox screen then nothing. Just blank. I can't do anything with it. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bubonic78:
Fist I do it all clear, wipe, flash then reboot.

Then this

And this

Final result blank.

Goes blank screen on second and subsequent boots

Hi to All !

I have an 8gb nook tablet with 1.4.2 stock ROM.

Tried to install CM7 sdcard version with my 16Gb card.

It goes well on initial boot, and all seems to be working.

But after restart on second and subsequent boots it shows "Team-B" splash screen and after that goes to backlit blank screen. Can turn it off only with power+volume up combo. Doesn't boots either if I plug it to PC via USB.

Didn't find resembling issue on this forum. So maybe someone can help with it? Thanks in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Have you tried flashing something else after this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fiddler17:
Not necessarily safer. Those boot files are accessible EVERY TIME you boot into the stock OS or put your SD card into a PC for whatever reason. It's only safer within the CM7 OS. Unless you plan on using your Nook Tablet ONLY in CM7 mode it's really pretty arbitrary. But if you're going to only use CM7 you might as well bag the SD card and get rid of the stock OS.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Here's how it worked on mine when I tried it. Yes, initially there was no play store app. You should have an app called Google Store or Google Market or something like that. The first time you access that app it will tell you that this is the only time you'll see this interface, blah, blah, blah. So I downloaded a couple of things and closed it down. The next time I went to look for it that app was gone but there was a Google Play store app instead.

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about with flashing the google apps thing because once you do this, the Play store is there and then you can download anything you want from there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bubonic78:
I have but I can't get the PC to recognize the actual nook so I fear the nook OS is gone. Without an OS on the nook the PC will not recognize it so no chance of running a ROM. Unless I get a 16GB or higher card to store everything on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Can you boot back into CWM using your SD card and try flashing a new ROM? Or is that what you mean, you need a bigger SD card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bubonic78:
Try I need a bigger sd to do that. All I have now is a 2GB so no roms can fit :mad::(:banghead:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Ah, I understand. But don't worry, you should be able to flash a new ROM and be good again.

And even if that doesn't work, there's always AdamOutler's Ubuntu Total Wipe as a last resort.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bubonic78:
Can't find that can you post a link+ if I can't get the PC to recognize the nook how should that work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Here's the link for the total wipe if it comes to that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470910

It's an image to be written to an SD card again. You'll need to have a least 4GB of space on the card. I know you wouldn't be able to use it yet, but I'm just giving you options of what you could do once you get another card. And I defintely recommend getting a bigger card since most of these unbricks require it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bubonic78:
Thanx for the help. I'll order some 16GB cards next week. Just incase my internal memory is lost.

Restarts

Im noticing more and more often that my NT restarts while sleeping. Even when playing music. It just restarts to the stock nook.

Probably an SD card problem. Just ordered myself a 32GB Sandisk, hope that fixes everything.

I don't know what is causing the reboot, but re-boot from "power not completely off" goes into native Nook on many people's card based CM7s.

HW Decode

I've searched over the last 3 weeks and I have been unable to find an answer/solution. I have a 16gb NT running CM7 March 9 final. I cannot get HW Decode / Acceleration to work on my videos. I, think, tried the same prometheus video found in goncezilla's youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=214gCVWZoMA.

Hardware decoding is always unavailable. Thinking I may have the wrong version of the rom i redownloaded it and reinstalled it and I continue to have the same problem.

Doe's anyone have any links to videos that are known to work with the NT HW decoding?

Thanks,

Walter
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
I downloaded a hd trailer of rise of the silver surfer to verify that my hd decoding was working when I was having questions about it. Vids need to be .mp4. All of my .avi movies I play are using software decoding. Also make sure that you don't have the software decoding set to default. I am using mx video and you need to uncheck that box if you want to auto run .mp4 using hd decoding. Can't find the link for the download just google and you will find one.

I wouldn't worry to much, I am sure it is working. It made me question it for a while also until I found the right format.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
My beloved CM7 from microSD has gone crazy.

I had booted into native Nook last night, and left it there overnight. Just now, did a reboot to start the card, and I have a machine that does not even look like mine.

All of my desktop screens are gone, and there are new widgets onscreen that I don't even know what are. All shortcuts are gone--only the new widgets are there plus a single one that was mine-- a GO Widget providing six control functions. I had edited mine down to four controls; this has the default six back.

The app drawer does seem to have all my apps in it.

A second boot brings back the same not-my-desktop. GO Launcher EX.

Where has my tablet gone!?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
I assume you are booting from a fully shutdown nook. That is required on mine. Strange things happen with a soft boot, like stock with the wrong SD card.

Do you have a backup? I don't know if it is possible to do a nandroid running from SC if CWM is also on a separate SD card.

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Yes, from full power off of course. Otherwise I would be in native Nook. Not strange things--you just boot into native Nook.

I have a TitaniumBackup, but noticed it is holding an earlier version of Go Launcher, so obviously not recent enough. My bad on that.

Would not do any good to do a nandroid backup now (which by the way that backup is not labeled 'nandroid' in any place that you actually perform it--very confusing to newbies that we keep calling it that).

I see no option but to re-create all of my desktop screens manually. And I had it all set up just so it worked great for me. Arghhh what a pain. And then do all the settings in some of them. And hope the books in the Nook app and in the other reader I had are still there.

Oh, I did not need this grief. Just out of the blue. Gone. Didn't install anything new. Didn't do anything except go into native Nook. Color me unhappy.

A Cleaner CM7, less battery usage?

Hi!

After checking on the battery usage and googling around, I renamed several APK's that just won't work: MMS, VoiceDialer, TelephonyProvider and Phone; later, the Camera APK also got the boot.

May I suggest these APK's shouldn't even be in the SD CM7 card at all?

Best,

F.Kereki
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jalexand42:
Did this solve your battery issues? My wife's nook is having horrible battery life on CM7, this was the next thing I was going to try.

Her wireless also seems to be alot worse than most, it doesn't want to turn back on after it messes up, requiring a reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
I've lost my home screen as well more times than I care to count. Never on the NT yet. I have a diagram on paper of how I have it set so I don't have to remember when I have it just right. When my NT reboots out of CM7 SD it goes into CM9 and since the sd card is set up different some things are not found. So far CM7 is my daily and 9 is for when I want to experiment. Sorry for your loss of screen, but, there are some random things that happen. Mine reboots a couple of times a week unless I'm playing music and then it is a certain reboot after half an hour or so.

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I have reconstructed it manually over the last few hours. Had a serious issue with layout, icon size, font size--just general appearance was all fouled up. That took longer to fix than getting the widgets and shortcuts back on the five screens I use.

Another question has come up. I have Titanium Backup (had not kept it up to date though...it is NOW!). But How do you do a nandroid backup if using the microSD? And where does it get stored?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
If you're running CM7 off of the sdcard then you'll need internal clockworkmod flashed in order to do a nandroid backup.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
OK, is there any way to make an "image" backup of the card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hjjfffaa:
I suppose I'll post this here, too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfywt1S-1GE

Is this supposed to happen?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JRam13:
Absolutely not. First time I ever installed CM7 I got screen tear (nowhere near as bad as this) on my first boot- turns out it was the SD card I used.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hjjfffaa:
All right, I will try my other card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
It is just a plain fact that some microSd cards work well and some don't.

You just have to try different ones. Fact of life.

internal memory

Hello, I rooted my Nook tablet to CM7 using the internal method. Now I found out I cannot access the 16G internal memory when I connected to the PC.

I did install the driver and it is shown as an Android composite interface device.

I can see the drive in the MY COMPUTER, but there is no information like size. Clicking it ask me to put in a disk or something like that.

Can anyone please tell me what is going on and how to fix it...

Everything is working fine except I cannot use those space for movies and songs..

Internal Version Bug

I have found a bug on the internal version, not sure if it's new; I have a 16gb Nook, no system modifications.

The bug is that whenever it is sleeping for too long, the wifi will say it is turning off, but never actually turn off, so it is stuck in a mode where the wifi where not work. There is a bug in the known bugs reply similar to this, but on mine, turning off/on again in the notification center will not fix it. I have to reboot to make it work again, which is really annoying.

It would be less annoying if it weren't for the second, correlated bug. When turning off, I hold the power button down, press power off, and wait. Then, it appears the OS turns off, but the backlight stays on, so I have to simply hold the power button down and wait. Then, I turn it back on as regular.

Sorry if this bug has already been reported; I can't really search through 50 pages of replies to see.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patterone:
mine does this also, but only happens when plugged into the charger.

This is exactly the same behaviors I'm seeing on my wife's nook. Happy to provide additional details if I can help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
The wi-fi drivers are not fantastic, this is a known problem.

There is a "search this thread" that should be in the upper right.

The solution to your problem is to set wifi to never sleep as opposed to sleeping any time the screen is off. And/or shut off the wifi before letting it sleep, which will allow you to turn it on when the screen comes back. The strange SOD [sleep of death] you describe IS RELATED.

This problem has been answered by me a few times, and is easily the most well documented issue in the thread. Use the "search this thread" to find more detailed explanations if you need them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Several posts earlier, I discussed my complete loss of desktop and strange widgets appearing. I also related that I solved it by manually putting all of my widgets and shortcuts back on the appropriate screens.

I also did LOTS of adjusting because the appearance was completely wrong -- columns/rows, icon size, font size. Thought all was well after that. No.

Before that problem, I could leave the NT16 in screen off for DAYS and only lose a few percent of battery, like dropping from 98 to 94 over several days. It was wonderful.

Now it is dropping 5% per hour. This is awful. It has changed from OUTSTANDING to OK, I can live with this somehow. The problem is that now I am picking it up to take on an outing to read books while out, and finding it dead--unusable. Before, it was just "there" and "ready." Now, careful pre-planning needed.

I am completely bummed. What caused the initial failure and why the consumption change. Total bummer.

Oh, I also now have the problem of the wifi getting locked in the 'turning off' mode. Never had that before. It is like EVERYTHING has changed.

NEXT: turned it off to get rid of the stuck in wifi turning off state. Now it will not boot to native or card.

After lots of tries, it turned on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] n1n00b:
I'm having similar problems with battery drain. I took my NT off the charger this morning, used it for ~20 minutes, then put it to sleep and went to work. 10 hours later, battery's totally dead, tablet won't turn on. Plug charger in, tablet turns on ~20 minutes later, with a 10% battery charge. :(:(:(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Unconfirmed--but I think the Google Maps application is keeping power draining for some reason, even when unloaded. I changed several things, so cannot be sure, but the battery widget showed maps as a major draw, right behind 'system', so I uninstalled it.

Based on just 3 hours, it looks like battery draw is back to small percentage drop, but I woin't know for sure until overnight.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lukeskope:
Wanted to chime in to give a glimmer of hope to those with battery issues. My Nook with CM7 internal is at 28% battery after 37 hours, plenty of use (It drains about 10%/hour when I am using it heavily) but also plenty of time in sleep mode where the battery has not drained at all.

I am positive that Juice Defender is keeping my Nook from draining while sleeping, and all it really is doing is turning off wifi when the screen goes to sleep and periodically enabling apps to background sync.

The most annoying thing, it won't reconnect to wifi reliably when I turn the screen on, I have to open wi-fi preferences, which often gets it connected. I assume this has to do with buggy wifi drivers in the alpha release of CM7.

Don't loose hope you can get good battery life from your Nook, just use juice Defender to control wifi, keep the brightness down a bit and use Gemini App Manager to disable certain apps from auto-starting

Hi,

I have SD version CM7 installed, and so far I've been enjoying it. Battery issue aside, i like how the tablet responds.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patterone:
I have done that......but am unable to make it the default player
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
Mine gives me the option to choose which one to use each time I open a video file. I also see that there is a checkbox for setting the default player in the same pop up. I am RUNNING CM7 SD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
my guess ( and you probably realize this already -- because you're a smart dude ) is that the answer ( change ) is buried deep in the plumbing. It's in the linkage at the creation / build level. So the fix is to go to the rom source in the git. Hmm, @Indirect has built a slightly better version of cwm 7.2 alpha. pm him ?

I wanted to say that there is a lot more in CM7 that works for me than in CM9. I especially like that the locator function works in all my apps such as Maps, Earth and Rainy Days. The wifi has always come back on after sleep for those time I forget to turn it off.

Its fun to go to a meeting with the NT and bring up and view AutoCAD files and PDFs. How are you doing that on a book reader?

Would like to change from Internal CM7 to SD CM7

Well as my title implies I am currently running CM7 on the Internal of my Nook Tablet 16Gb. I Love it, however I am not able to have some of the Nooks original functionality when it comes to E-Reading. So I would like to have Both. For instance on the Stock version I can read the Childrens Story The Elephant child, but on the Nook App on CM7 it says this device does not support this media.

Is it possible to use CWM to back up the Internal Version of CM7 then Go to the SD card version of CM7 and at that point restore to the SD card Version?

I just dont want to have to build my ROM again. I just Got it how I like it. LOL

Thanks so much for your Help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Can't say for sure, but I kind of doubt that will work. Your best bet is to backup apps with titanium, put the nook back to factory and start again. With the apps backed up it doesn't take too long.

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
...if you pay for the Premium TitaniumBackup which is well worth it and compensates the author for all his efforts.

With the Premium, you can restore all at once. With the free one, you do it one app at a time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Unfortunately you can't do this. You'd have to back everything up from your inernal CM7 then after you boot into your SD ROM, restore everything again and rebuild from there.

By the way, using the free version of Titanium Backup, you can use a batch process to backup/restore multiple apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Thanks for that clarification...must have been a change in features since I bought it a year ago; at that time, the 'restore all' was the major reason for buying it.
