[Nook Color Android Development] DroidBurgundy:
still been having issues with titanium backup, also have been noticing that everytime i reboot the nook, the sdcard is set to read only, causing errors with services like dropbox etc, a reformatting usually solves it, as I have been unable to change permission of the sd card with any app, I have not chmod using adb yet though. Very annoying! I have been able to get netflix, youtube and hulu plus working, which was my main goal in giving this to someone for use as a portable media player.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
My sense of things here, and I haven't seen any logs on this yet, but I think that people are having trouble restoring system app data? Is that what you have going on? I seen one person trying to restore GB system app data. That will be trouble.

I cannot really help with much of this stuff...I don't use gapps, my WiFi chip is borked, and I actually wiped every partition on the device flashing then wrong AOSP zip(forgot to swap out the boot.IMG), so the device isn't booting at all. I have been meaning to get with Leapinlar about rebuilding partitions 2 and 3 but haven't found the time.

I am monitoring PA's upstream repos. When they decide to open source again, I will work on porting 4.2. Hopefully we will have no trouble with the transition to AOSP.

[Nook Color Android Development] lepa71:
how's battery life with screen on and in general on PA compared to CM10? Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] DroidBurgundy:
no, I do not ever attempt restoration of system apps or data since various gapps are required for different versions etc. I am still having issues with my sd card partition becoming read only, and have been unable to change it without literally wiping the sd card, titanium also unresponsive. I will comeback to it in a few weeks when I am able to make another backup of the device and tinker again, for now it will serve its purpose as a media player for my family, I am just very grateful that I could even get jellybean on it, never thought it would see a real android experience outside of B&N let alone 4.x + !!!
[Nook Color Android Development] lynnji:
What kind of sd card are you using? I've had none of these problems using the recommended SanDisk class 4. TB works fine for me, app data from gb transferred just fine, sd card appears on reboot every time.

Only issues have been: when I unmount and remove sd card to put files on it via pc, it won't remount unless I reboot; and I usually get a crash when I try to connect via usb.
[Nook Color Android Development] halrulez:
I have had no issues and battery problems with PA.

Now cm I have had allot of lock ups and sods.

My 2 year old uses the nook the most and works great for everyone else in the family too. He uses it allot and it seems the nook will last a whole day plus some.
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
i will second this....i use my nook a lot...mostly internet browsing, some gaming and a lot of reading while listening to music....and i get at least a day out of it...and no SODs or lock-ups....some light lag with some apps, but nothing bad enough for me to remember it to complain :P
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Thanks..seg faults. It is overreaching an array size somewhere. The messaging seems to indicate a tie to the bluetooth usb tethering...we do not have the rndis set for tethering and why would we. From the encore defconfig:

# CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_WLAN is not set

Maybe rndis is just for data tethering and bluetooth works without it...but either way I don't see anything related to that. Although PA merges big chunks all in one, I could have missed some relevant code. I will continue to peek at it, thanks for the logs.

eyeballer seemed to have an idea, he might find some time later we'll just have to see. I am glad that it doesn't affect that many people and that there is a workaround for now.

I had sdcard mounting problems with CM10 as well. Just one of those things, I think.
[Nook Color Android Development] tambourineman86:
Is the newest version of this rom the most stable available? I believe I'm still on the 1 that came out the 19th of November , but I don't have the device in front of me to check. Looking in the downloads section, it seems the most popular is the 1 on the 21st of November. Still, wondering if the newest version is the recommended 1.

I don't know what mateorod will say, but I have used the 12/16 version with excellent results.

[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
Yup, I am using the most recent update and I have no complaints whatsoever...PA actually made me switch from running CM10 on the SD to installing it directly onto the EMMC, I am loving my Nook....this is seriously the best tech purchase I have ever made.
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
like wise here, been using it since released without any issues
[Nook Color Android Development] halrulez:
Ditto here. Running 12/16 and its just as fast and stable as any optimized and tweaked cm7.2

Same here. I've been running 12/16 without any real problems, maybe some lag while browsing the web but I can't complain. I don't know how anyone can with a ROM like this. Amazing ROM! By the way, would someone mind posting what settings seem to be working the best for PA? I've gone through a few different settings but wanted to see whats been working best lately. Thank you.

[Nook Color Android Development] rampart51:
I installed PA to an SD card and was pleasantly surprised how well it runs. Compared to CM 10 nightlies, it is much better.

But I'm curious. Will this continue to be updated or are you done with it?

I hope the updates will keep coming.

And one question for anyone. Is BLUETOOTH a known issue? I cannot get it to pair with a JAMBOX (speaker).

Thanks for all the hard work and please keep the updates coming! :good:
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I am not aware of any differences in how the Bluetooth functions between this and CM10. I would expect the functionality of the two to be roughly equivalent, since they share so many pieces. That does not mean I am right, so if it works on CM10 and doesn't work here, let me know. I still have a couple irritating things I am hunting for periodically.

As far as updates are concerned, eyeballer will periodically order builds. I think he is keeping an eye on whatever changes are coming from upstream and building when it looks attractive.

PA's upstream developers have again closed their sources, for 4.2. So we will have to wait and see how long that takes before we can update. My intuition is that they intend to reopen when they release 3.0.0, and since we have been on 2.99 for a couple months, it is wait and see.

Depending on how bolluxed things get with the rebase to AOSP, I will probably update this to 4.2 when the time comes. That is somewhat predicated on the encore CM team pushing our device forward to CM10.1, which I don't know the status of.

So, yes to newer builds, and hopefully to a whole new iteration. If anyone is more interested in the details of any of the above, it has been discussed here before, look over the last month or so of this thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] rampart51:
Thanks for the quick response Mateorod.

I think I tried BLUETOOTH on CM10 nightlies and I think it failed there also. Don't waste a lot of time researching it. I'm in no hurry.

I'll continue to watch this thread for updates.

[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
I put seeder on my nook last night, and initially it seemed to slow the device down, but upon waking it this mourning it was just as fast as before, I'll report back if I notice a significant difference, but thus far it seems like it might be giving a lot of people a placebo effect without actually making anything faster.
[Nook Color Android Development] rampart51:
If you read the description of what seeder is, it indicates its really meant to speed up older non JB rom's. I think that is why we see no effect.

Anyway....I played with it for a while and noticed nothing so I uninstalled.

I might try it on KANG MIRAGE 7.2 and see if makes a difference.
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
even with all the hubub about placebo effects and whatnot...I installed it and it seemed smoother, uninstalled it and that is when I noticed lag...honestly the best thing to do is flash the seeder.zip through recovery rather than just using the apk....

but i uninstalled it and use the Universal Adrenaline Shot....RC2...and now it's back to no lag whatsoever and it's actually legit, not placebo

Will you be merging the new beta or are we waiting for 3.0?
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
I really love this ROM and am impressed with how far it has come, development - wise.

Just a couple of bugs: every time I restart the nook, I have to reset my wallpaper. I'm using multi picture live wallpaper. No big deal, just bothersome.

Also, in PA settings, I tried to run Workspace UI, system apps, and user apps all in tablet mode with all DPI's set at 200 (old, tired eyes). With those settings my nook went into constant bootloop every time I restarted. The only way to get the nook working again was to boot into recovery and wipe cache.

Now I have my workspace UI set to tablet, the others set to phablet, with status bar DPI set at 200.

No more bootloops, nook is behaving.

I also tried installing the seeder zip a week or so ago. At first it was zippy, but then there was notice-able lag after a few days. I have had much better luck using the app itself instead of the zip file.
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
Good to know....

there is a noticeable difference with Seeder vs without Seeder....it works well on this device, not so much on my phone or some other devices...

Hmm..I hadn't seen that thanks. I am curious to see how our device tree interacts with this. I used our device in 4.2 aosp and had some real issues. But we'll just have to see how it goes. I will see what is up with it early this week, thanks for the tip.
[Nook Color Android Development] thejrcrafter2:
Is the new build of PA based off of 4.2 because if it is that would get me off Cyanogenmod. I would be on PA right now, if it weren't for the fact that there are no nightly updates. It would be really nice if you guys could get that working on the Nook, and I would be willing to help build once my 64-bit laptop comes back from the Acer repair center.
[Nook Color Android Development] ufkal:
I've tried to read through everything. I have a Nook color 1.4.3 (rooted I think [I can run SU and Rom Manager]) with the stock BN rom. I can just download PA here and load it up through CWM right?

Sorry for the stupid noob question, but it just seems so easy, that I feel I must have forgotten something......
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Don't worry about the question...one thing I dont think XDA has totally figured out is how to organize and present information that regular users take for granted. It took me most of a day just to root and ROM my Nook for the first time.

The answer is yes. In CWM, there are some menu that wipe cache and factory reset. You will need to do that. Everything on your device (except what is in internal storage, called EMMC) will be deleted. Since you are on stock, I imagine you have Barnes and Noble content, you can retrieve that by downloading the Nook app in the play store.

Download the latest ROM from the first post's download link and search for a gapps (Google apps). There is probably a link to a gapps in the first post of the CyanogenMod10 night lies thread, also in the Nook Android Development forum. Put the ROM and the gapps on an sdcard.

Enter CWM, wipe cache and wipe data. Choose install from sdcard and flash both zips.

Dont worry! There is nothing that can happen here that will damage your device! The Nook is resilient and the community is great. Ask any questions you like.
[Nook Color Android Development] ufkal:
Thank you very much for your prompt, and excellent response. I truly appreciate it. I generally just dive in when flashing and have rarely had a problem. My GNEX rocks PA and so I figured it would be simple, but I've had issues with the NC before and just like to verify from time to time.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I would give several thanks if I could!

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

So, I did a clean install, factory wipe, wiped cache, wiped davlik. Booted up the rom. There is a system error flashing so fast I can't tell what it is, but I can't get any keyboard to make any entries. I've wiped, reloaded etc, twice, even tried using CM10 and I'm still getting the same problems. Any suggestions?

Just a quick question regarding the ROM -

- I'm currently running CM7.2 Encore. (Kernel 2.6.32.9) To install this ROM, I follow the same steps for flashing to CM10 in general, right?

(Another quick question - I actually don't have the option to reboot into recovery via the power button on my current build. Does anyone know how to boot into recovery on CM 7.2? I thought it was powering off/on while holding the N, but I guess it's not...)

Edit

I just read this thread, and I'm assuming this is what I'll have to do to get my recovery working again?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [ROM][Nightlies] ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2

You may not have CWM recovery installed on your CM7 system. It was optional when you installed CM7.

And to reboot into recovery, choose reboot and a second menu will come up to boot to recovery.

Awesome, thanks for all of the help. Though I seem to have encountered an issue..

Whenever I turn my device on, it shows the fingerpass lock screen, which I never had activated, as opposed to the standard Set up Your Device screen. I would reset the password using my Gmail account, but it's saying my password is incorrect (which is false, as I've logged into my gmail on my computer using the same log in information.) I've tried wiping the cache/formatting the device, and wiping the delvic and such, but to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I would log in to the Play Store and download an unlocker, but I can't set up my wifi on the device because I can't get in...
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [ROM][Nightlies] ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2

The slide is a feature of CM10. You need to disable it in settings. Go to settings, security and change from slide to none. Or did you mean some other security? I never heard of fingerpass. It has nothing to do with Gmail if it requires a password.

If you have a CM10 password somehow set up, you need to do more than wipe cache or dalvik. You must do a complete "wipe data/factory reset" with recovery.

Sent from my HD+ running CM10 on SD with XDA Premium
[Nook Color Android Development] IceCatraz:
I can't get pass the lock screen - and yes, I meant slide. Sorry - I couldn't remember the name. It's the lock screen where you slide your fingers to touch the orbs in a certain order. It's already set up on the device when I turn it on - and I didn't enable it.

I've tried doing a full wipe through CWM - I selected "wipe data/factory reset", then delvik, then cache, then reinstalling the ROM + GApps 4.1.2, and the lock screen still pops up.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [ROM][Nightlies] ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2

No the slide is when you only slide a slider across the screen once. What you are describing is a pattern lock.

What version of CWM are you using? It sounds like it is not wiping it. Go to my NC tips thread and find a zip attached there called format 567 and flash that. It wipes /system /data and /cache. Then flash only the CM10 ROM, not gapps yet. See if you can get in without the pattern lock. Then if you can, flash gapps later and register.

Edit: By the way we are cluttering up the Paranoid Android thread. This is a CM10 issue, not PA. We should move this to the right thread.

Oh, alright. I'm using 3.0.2.8. Not until I looked at your Tips thread did I realize that I'm...just a tad bit behind. I'm in the process of reinstalling the ROM now, after flashing the file you mentioned.

And yes, you're right. Sorry - a pattern lock. I'm used to using Widgetlocker on my phone with a Holo theme (lock icon in the middle), that I really never got used to any other lock.

Edit

That seems to have done it. Thank you very, very much!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [ROM][Nightlies] ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2

That is the issue. 3.0.2.8 will not wipe correctly. You need 3.2.0.1 or newer. But my zip should have fixed it. Be sure to upgrade that CWM.
