The only way for no lag is for the device to do something before you even think of doing it. Like Google Now
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
What CPU governor and and max clock speed are you laggy users are using? 1200mhz screams, anything higher does not.

Like CM9 the governor works best at conservative, counter intuitive I know. I do wonder if fat_tire has updated the kernel to utilize other governors, but I am really curious what kernel tweaks if any Krylon did.

Also if you have the full version of Nova, set scrolling and animation speeds cranked way up, and this AOKP build really flies, super impressive with only a single core 800mhz

Can the v6 supercharger script be used with this rom
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
I have my Nook set to defaults and am using Apex. It is just as smooth as my rezound running stock. Though I used them daily, I had many stutters, forcequits, and much lagginess running the cm9 nightlies (my last was 6/26). This has been nothing but butter save for a few lockups of which, I know why they happened (firefox).

Anyway, thanks again. I love this build.

Kinda new to NC Mods, the Rom looks great but not sure where to find all the downloads on page one,

Goo Im?

latest Aokp?

latest Gapps?

which version of TWRP?

does anyone have links for these and also where to check in the future for the most up-to-date version?

do I install all of this from CWR SD Card and then remove SD Card when done?

And are there any recommend Tweaks/Settings once this is installed?
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Awesome. Me too!

(I think the default clock speed is OCed to 1200)

@mike just use goo.im or the goo manager app. In the app, search under devs for krylon360.
[Nook Color Android Development] mike2246:
Got everything but twrp installed, not sure what version to get. the problems i'm having when it boots i get the follow errors

calender and clock force close

and i get a process.acore that force closes.

I've tried to wipe Cachi and Delvik again.

also the major problem with the homescreen and Apex if I try and swipe to other pages everything just blurs together. and I have no status bar or dock. can someone please advise if i'm doing something wrong or what can be done. i've had the same problems on every rom i've tried.

i just went into the store and they said they will trade one out for free as a courtesy. but, they said it would be a "used" one from the back, rather than breaking open one of the $30 kits on the shelf.

either way, i got a better working cable rather than dishing $30 for a $2 cable. (ok, $2 microUSB cable + $1 in extra connectors)
[Nook Color Android Development] bigrat:
This is a good rom. The only thing that keeps me from this rom is the fact that HD video won't work, and that's not Krylon's fault (darn you, TI). Everything else is great.

Once/if someone gets HD video (and thereby Netflix) working, this will be my rom of choice.
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
Sorry to bring that up if it was already resolved but...

As far as the capability of the video hardware goes, isn't it limited to 480p _scaled_ to 600p? How would HD work if the hardware is simply not capable of decoding 720p?
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
The issue is with our driver for the TI hardware decoder (HD in his post means hardware decoded/accelerated, not high definition) chip for our NC. Regardless of the actual stream, if the app requires hardware decoding (like Netflix and HD YouTube) to function, then no dice....so far. I use cm9/considering AOKP but dual boot rooted stock when I need a video fix.

Awesome work by all devs on ICS for NC...it really is amazing what our 18 month old hardware can do with a little love ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
the TI omap 3621 has the IVA2 hardware accelerator. digging deeper, it appears that the DSP for the IVA2 is also called the C64x+ DSP

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index...odec_performance_tables#C64x.2B_Video_Decoder

*but that page was updated in 2010, so i doubt they are still working on it.

the question is, i know flash is the container for youtube video, not sure what codec is inside of the container. h.264 maybe?

what i dont understand (and cant find details for) is the difference between the omap36xx and the omap3621. one says video hardware encode/decode iva2+ vs iva2 (C64x+)

the omap36xx says iva2+ says

verses the omap3621 saying

, so only 720 x 480 and no 720p

so, if the omap3621 spec sheet is right, and it only has a iva2 (C64x+), then there is no 720p hardware decoding, right?

I'm gonna give this ROM a shot tonight.

Should I use the latest build, or is there something from the past that is considered most stable?

Thanks.

[Nook Color Android Development] atiroch:
Could you please, please, please make this flashble via CWM?

After the last 2 hours of my life dealing with TWRP, I never want to see it again. Essentially, it failed to mount my sd card, so the backup I made became invisible once it switched to sdcard. Then, it wouldn't stop bootlooping Cyanoboot. As a measure of last resort I made a new backup of the blank data and system and manually copied the old backup files from the emmc to sdcard and surprisingly it worked.

I had my laptop stolen last week so I'm stuck using my Nook as my main driver for a while, and I'd like to give this a shot, just not with with TWRP.

Either way, you are awesome for all the work you've put into this. Thanks

confused about video playback

I have a clean install of the latest build. Flash is installed. I get video playback in YouTube. But sites with imbedded video like CNN, the videos don't play. Just blank. Is that normal behavior for this Rom? Or do you all get video playback on sites like that? Other than that, loving the rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] fastpakr:
I installed this using Clockwork. Booted into it from CM7.2 (Mirage) and installed the zip + gapps, then wiped data and rebooted into the new ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
Dan,

Though you can install flash, this rom does not yet run it. To check just to make sure, open the application flashplayer settings. It will ask you which browser to use and select one that you know supports it. If flash is running it will ask you a question about flash settings (I think it is cache location). If it is not running the page will be blank. Be patient, I am sure it is coming soon.

Thank you all again for the work on this rom.

if netflix = WMV3, silverlight, VC-1 are all M$ formats and arent h.264, mpeg4 or mpeg2... so getting true hardware decoding via the omap3621 hardware isnt possible, right?

are you using TWRP to boot install to SD or EMMC? if SD, i just used the everygreens updated generic sd image generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img.zip found here linked from this xda forum posting

you use win32diskimage to write the image to a blank sd card; then eject from pc, re-insert into pc, copy aokp zip (that must be renamed to start with update-cm*.zip) and the gapps zip file. eject from pc. put in nook color, boot (will boot to sd by default) will create partitions on the sd card, then install the oakp zip, then install the gapps zip. then it will shutdown. you manually turn the nook color back on and it will show the boot loader (which will give you the options to boot from emmc/sd normal/recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
I think basically its that Netflix sux on most devices and is a very touchy app. That's why they originally released it only for 5 devices on ANdroid.
[Nook Color Android Development] freonchill:
its was bugging me the the omap3621 spec sheet said IVA2 (C64x+) that didnt give any support for VC-1. so i was further digging into the omap3621 pdf documents shown and found futher info about the C64x+. after reading DigitalMD posting about netflix being VC-1 i found this

from Windows Media VC-1 Advanced Profile Decoder on C64x+

PAL D1 being pretty much the same as NTSC 720x480 @ 10mbps

so, not sure where 720p from...

in searching omap3621 and vc-1 on google i found that the droid 2 (not to be confused with the global droid 2) has the omap 3620-1000 @ 1.2ghz (pretty much the same chip) can only record (encode) dvd (720x480) quality video from its camera, and the same goes for decoding, see developer motorola site

even the review of Battle of the Budget Tablets - Nook Color vs. Galaxy Tab comments about the nook color

at this point, i have come down to two (maybe three) results

1. i have no clue what i am talking about based on piecing together guesses about chip capabilities from manufacturer's spec sheets

2. the VC-1 is not being decoded in hardware by the C64x+, perhaps the SGX530 has something it can do via openGL ES for hardware decoding?!

3. looking @ the source code file

OMX_STRING cVideoDecodeName = "OMX.TI.Video.Decoder";
VIDDEC_CUSTOM_PARAM sVideoDecCustomParams[VIDDEC_NUMBER_OF_CUSTOM_PARAMS] = {{VIDDEC_CUSTOMPARAM_PROCESSMODE, VideoDecodeCustomParamProcessMode},
{VIDDEC_CUSTOMPARAM_H264BITSTREAMFORMAT, VideoDecodeCustomParamH264BitStreamFormat},
{VIDDEC_CUSTOMPARAM_WMVPROFILE, VideoDecodeCustomParamWMVProfile},
{VIDDEC_CUSTOMPARAM_WMVFILETYPE, VideoDecodeCustomParamWMVFileType},
{VIDDEC_CUSTOMPARAM_PARSERENABLED, VideoDecodeCustomParamParserEnabled}};

so perhaps it does handle h.264, wmv, vc-1?, but maybe just up to 480p (720x480), not 720p (1280x720)?!

personalty, i would just like the nook color to be able to play youtube 480p (720x480) videos without studdering and or becoming a lovely slide show. even back in cm7.x i could only get 320p you tube videos to play without becoming a slide show.

but, as i am just rambling a whole bunch of code and chip specs that i cant turn into something that will be productive to release the proper code for ics, ill just shut-up about it for now.

Except the problem with the small navigation bar icons, I am having problem with the battery consumption.

For 9 hours during night I had 5% lost, when before with Eyeballer's nightly never had more than 1%. Also Cpu spy shows only 4,5 hours of sleep, which is also strange.

And another question about Rom control settings and startup tweaks. Should we activate the zipalign option?

Well... I've done it again... But this time I can't seem to unbrick it. I tried to flash hanthesolo's stratusrom but it failed and bootlooped. So I went and tried restore from a backup that had cm7. For some reason it bootlooped again. so I went in to Odin and tried to go back to stock just to get things working again. I failed and ended up going to stock recovery with a bunch of errors. So then I just panicked and tried flashing different combos of pit files and roms and stuff. Now I can boot into cwm. But I still can't restore from an older backup or revert to stock firmware. Any ideas???

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
Is there a setting somewhere, anywhere that would allow the

actual

wallpaper to be used instead of cropping it or automatically zooming in on the image??

This is driving me crazy...:silly:

I tried Wallpaper Wizardrii, QuickPics, PicSpeed and they all seem to enlarge the wallpaper to an either blocky, pixelated mess or zoom in too much and cut half of the image out.

I also tried making wallpapers in Photoshop the exact size as the stock Asus wallpapers but they still end up zoomed in or cropped...

Even the stock wallpapers are enlarged...

Could it be the ROM (AOKP) or something??

I've never had an issue like this before and I'm pretty sure that when my Prime was brand new the stock wallpapers weren't enlarging like they are now...I remember they were perfectly sized to fit the screen...

I've been through many threads and forums and Google searches but I can't seem to fix this.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know about something I discovered today.

If you're like me and have had considerably worse WiFi performance since switching to this phone, you've probably already flashed new radios and configured your routers channel to 11. These do seem to improve it a bit, but not nearly as good as this next trick.

Go into settings, then Wi-Fi, and hit the menu button and choose advanced. Select Wi-Fi frequency band and change it to 2.4 GHz only. Though I personally have a 5.0 GHz router this has improved my connection to be better than any phone I had previously. I have also selected Best Wi-Fi performance, but that was before I found this. Even without the best performance option this is considerably better.

I hope this helps!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Interesting. I never had any WiFi problems with my HOX. Also I didn't know the phone even had a 5.8Ghz radio. I guess it does. But then I don't see how setting 2.4Ghz manually (as opposed to it automatically choosing which radio to use) is going to help. So I find it weird that its helping you...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
It might be because I have both a 5.0 GHz and a 2.4 GHz broadcast from the same router. Honestly I have been seeing a horrible connection from both until I made this switch.

As to why it works? It's like why switching the LTE off saves your battery. Your phone is no longer looking for a connection on a new frequency and focuses more intently on the preferred band. Just my theory. Could be wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Yeah... IDK about that theory. And what is this channel 11 nonsense?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
5ghz connections suck anyway (as far as distance goes)...always go with 2.4ghz if you can or you are always within close range to your router, then 5ghz works rather well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Se23:
From where did u select best wifi performance?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
Channel 11 is a static channel and will often have the least interference. On some routers there is a power amplifier that only works up to channel 10 so better results may occur on channel 10 for some.

@Se23 best Wi-Fi performance is found by pressing menu - advanced in the Wi-Fi settings.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Right, channels 1, 6, and 11 shouldn't overlap and are all great channels to use. But I'm not following you on channel 11 stuff. Do you have a source? I'm curious.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Its not nonsense! Its wireless. People really need to understand wireless before trying to fix wireless issues.

You see, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) transmits data through Radio Frequency (RF) waves. WiFi is most commonly used on unlicensed bands, because it would be a pain for every user to have to license their device before using it on a network. The most common frequency for WiFi is 2.4Ghz, and for a number of reasons. It is a fairly good frequency that offers a decent amount of spectrum. However the problem is that it is the most common. As such, everyone uses it. Cell phones, laptops, wireless APs on roofs used for businesses and WISPs, even some handheld phones, WiFi routers, etc. etc.

The more nodes that use a particular frequency, the more clouded it gets. And this holds true even if you are not connected to that particular network. You could think of it as a large backyard. You want to get from point A to point B. Under normal circumstances, its easy. But throw in a ton of crap and you'll be tripping over balls and who knows what else. In wireless terminology, the amount of junk clogging up the spectrum is called noise floor, measured in -dB. The lower the number, the higher the noise floor. This is opposite of measuring rf signal strength, where the higher the number, the weaker the signal. Still measured in -dB though.

Within a given wireless frequency band, there is a certain width to it. And this is best googled. But for 2.4Ghz, it goes from 2.400Ghz to 2.495. Inside of that band, we have channels. Which can be set at different widths (irrelevant info, as laptops/cell phones only handle 20Mhz wide channels). A spectrum analyzer (I have one) will tell you which channels are most used. My bet would be that the lower channels, like especially channel 6 would see the most use. And then other channels, not so much. So, the idea is to find a channel with minimal usage and use that.

Now, as for WiFi problems with the HTC one X, troubleshoot troubleshoot troubleshoot. Be aware it may not be a problem with the HOX. Wireless has limitations because its wireless. Things block the signal. A lot of people post about amazing speed gains from changing this or that, when truth be told, your speed is no faster than the speed behind your gateway. Most my connections, I have no problem. If I was connected to a 50Mbps fiber line, I might complain about WiFi speed. Maybe.

Those still having problems, if they cannot pin point the problem, you can try using the "best WiFi" setting. That increases WiFi performance, but at the cost of higher battery usage. Still worth a try. Also be aware that people have been complaining about hardware issues on the HOX. If I recall correctly, WiFi antenna not connected properly. Hardware issues cannot be fixed through software.

Lastly if your router can do 5.8Ghz and the HOX can also do 5.8Ghz, set it to lock on 5.8Ghz and give it a try. 5.8Ghz is a great band for fast, reliable data connections. However it does not handle interference as well. On longer distances, anything even approaching the fresnel zone and you're going to have problems.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pavankvn:
I can confirm that when using wifi analyzer, my router's 5ghz band has lower signal strength compared to the 2.4 ghz band and the 5 ghz band gets considerably worse if I go to the next room and the wifi signal fluctuates. I did not see any improvement with the new radio also. But when I am using the 2.4 ghz band I get full bars in places where my 5ghz band would fluctuate from 0 to full bars and cut my Internet connection intermittently.

Thanks OP for the suggestions.
