Very glad to see this! I temporarily switched to CM (moving back in version numbers just isn't fun and I knew you would fix the sound eventually) , but it's just no replacement for this rom. Thanks so much for your work on this. Downloading and flashing now.

Edit: Used it quite a bit after flashing and setting everything up from a clean wipe. It seems much smoother with less lag, in my opinion. Sound is indeed fixed in every app I have, and Netflix works (using the Xposed mod workaround) which didn't work on the last 3 builds, at least on my device. However, there are tons of UI bugs that don't really affect performance or functionality.

For example, in wifi settings, none of the dialogs are right. None of the available networks show what kind of security they have. They all say "(WPS available) WPS available" whether it is available or not. Clicking on the connected network gives the same option on both buttons - "Failed to connect" - instead of the usual choices of "Forget" and "Disconnect". Also, the menu button in the wifi settings is gone making it impossible to access the advanced settings without Button Savior or similar app. Once you do get the dialog using the menu key from one of those apps, the pop up menu appears at the bottom instead of the top right, and the selections don't correspond correctly (i.e. clicking "settings" takes you to the network details screen; "details" takes you to advanced settings.)

The toast notification for an app being granted superuser status states "xxx seconds" instead of "xxx granted superuser permissions".

I could go on and on. I'm guessing these are upstream issues with PA, and they don't cause any performance issues (other than making wifi advanced settings difficult to access), but it's annoying nonetheless.

Having said that, it's still the best ROM for the Nook Color hands down, and the actual perfomance seems improved.

One last question - does anyone else have an intermittent bug in which granting an app superuser permissions when it requests them causes the app to close and take you to Settings? It has been present for me for the last 3 builds.

Anyone dirty flashed this? Just wondering. My son's nook really and I don't want to have it from him long enough to T.B. all the apps and clean wipe and then flash and re run t.b.
[Nook Color Android Development] Mikito1976:
All I did was as follow.

Wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache then flashed the 3.69 build, rebooted, waited until nook fully booted then went back to recovery wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache then installed jb apps rebooted and my nook is running super smooth. Didn't have to reinstall any app. Great job by mateorod.

Now I always do it this way with my phones, nook, etc. And it always work good for me. I might be doing and extra wipe or others will claim a different way to do it or that you don't need to wipe anything or just to wipe caches once but again this is how I do it and I never have had a problem. Hope this help.

The newest build not working for me.

Continioiusly had errors with Google apps. Then after I tried clean wipe, but in app settings all options are wrong. What happened to the last build?
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I can't say as to FCs, but I did hear about some mislabeled strings.

The upstream PA moved all their strings into a separate pa_starings file. Which is a good idea to move into their own domain, but I would bet there was an issue when I merged that by hand. I will take a look this weekend.
[Nook Color Android Development] wrenhal:
battery and auto rotate?

I have two questions.

1) is there a way in this rom to turn off auto rotate? Can't seem to find it.

2) what does everyone do to help battery life?

Mateo- I know you probably already saw this, but linking to steven676's post on the cm10 thread so more people have visibility... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44639179

Sent from my Sega Master System via Carrier Pigeon.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Thanks I had not seen this...I haven't been working on the port to 4.3 since steven676 requested a binary freeze. Once he releases the CM10.2 builds, then I will go back to work on the AOSP and PA builds. We use modified versions of his device tree and use steven's kernel source unchanged. So any safety precautions from him will be included in these builds.

Some stuff from upstream CM that we use in these builds is incompatible with at least the AOSP builds...I booted a 4.3 build the day that Android 4.3 was released but it triggered SOD immediately. It wasn't until I rebuilt AOSP 4.2 and got the SODs again that I realized it was a problem from somewhere else.

I will be bringing these build up to 4.3, assuming that I can solve the SOD problem once I work on it. But I will be respecting the binary freeze, as I did for 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. We owe a ton to our device maintainers (and steven676 is one of the best I have seen, anywhere) and their requests are for safety and usability reasons exactly like you see in the link above.

I will update you guys when I can!

*Tumble weed blows by* hmm kinda quiet in here. I know I'll ask a question, who here thinks we can keep our Nooks relevant by porting Kitkat to them when it is released? Personally I don't know if it will be possible, but back when Jelly Bean was released I was skeptical we could run that and now look where we are.

Thanx for that info and take your time for your prior stuff, you have to work on. But it would be nice, If there is any chance for future releases to have pdroid working again... :)

For now I will give your autopatcher a try - may be tomorrow...

regards

bitstra
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I am 90% sure you can use the AutoPatcher to get Pdroid.

Download the program

from my techerrata page

And try

./auto_patcher pa_1.5a_encore-v1.6-20120803.zip pdroid cm9 20120615

If you want the v6 too, just change pdroid to pdroid,v6supercharger (with no spaces!)

Follow the autopatcher link in my sig for more advanced usage.
[Nook Color Android Development] bitstra:
...downloaded and reading.

testing tomorrow...

thanx
[Nook Color Android Development] bitstra:
Done it today... (can make you 100% shure :))

thanx once more!

Edit1: Auto_Patcher did it well - pdroid- and v6-patch patched

Edit2: Flashed update.zip well

Edit3: Booted well

Edit4: ROM runs fine as before - trying now to install pdroid :)

Edit5: PDroid works as it should - THAAANX!!!

If anyone is ineterested in flashing the patch, let me know it.

mateorod, would it be o.k. to post a download link here?
[Nook Color Android Development] natboy:

If I'm already running eyeballer's nightlies, can I just copy the framework.jar from the PA build and the updated gapps and apply them into my current build? Or is it possible to take the PA build and install it over top without having to wipe data? I just hate the hassle of trying to reinstall apps, etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] famewolf:
I'd love to have paranoid android on my touchpad...cm9 is available...is it possible to get an update.zip I could put on top of it to add the paranoid portions? Apologies for asking here but I'm currently installing your version on my nook color and thought to ask.

Also is there a recommended amount to overclock the nook color to? 1ghz vs the default 700?

Boot Loop forever with logcat

I wiped everything from my previous CM7.2 install.....and installed the PA 1.5 and gapps packages as per install instructions....the nook has been sitting on the boot screen forever....first time I waited about 40 minutes.....this time only about 5 but I'm attaching a logcat captured using adb logcat...can someone point me to a solution or do I need to go back to my backup?
[Nook Color Android Development] jschill31:
Hello, yes you can flash this over Eyeballer's build (either one). Just wipe cache and dalvik. You will also need to flash the fixed gapps as well or Gmail will get hosed up.

Cheers
[Nook Color Android Development] Tiezane:
Awesome, thank you! Look forward to trying this out tonight!
[Nook Color Android Development] famewolf:
My nook color apparently has gone into a "won't turn on at all for anyone and I'm gonna ignore power and power/nook button" situation so I was unable to test the rom.....can someone tell me what launcher was used with this rom? I recall reading about a new tablet friendly one...not the Go Launcher HD.....wanted to try it on my touchpad....

Figure on the nook color I either have to remove the back and disconnect the battery or wait for it to run down on it's own unless anyone has any ideas on how to force drain it?
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Trebuchet, slightly modded as per the PA requirements as of 1.5.

It has been demonstrated that many times when it appears the nook isn't turning on, it is actually that the screening isn't turning on. You can check adb, or even try the 8x failed boot, if it is that or retirement.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:

This ROM does not seem to work installed on a bootable SD Card.

The 1.5 version works. But I could not get 1.6 to work on SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboticBuddy:
Huh, that's weird, I used pa_1.5-encore-20120801v1.5.zip for the SD Card, and it stayed on the boot screen (the Cyanogenmod 9 one).

R800i. 'Nuff said.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Did you start with a fresh install of the SD or did you try to install over a previous CM9 installation? I started with a fresh install with PA1.5. It worked fine. But when I tried the same with PA1.6 it acted like you said.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboticBuddy:
I had a previous CM9 installation on my SD Card, but before installing ParanoidAndroid on the SD Card, I completely wiped it. Then I installed PA 1.5 on the SD Card. I did not touch eMMC at all, besides for flashing manualNooter.

How did you wipe it? Format and write new image?
[Nook Color Android Development] Cabe24i:
I'm having the same issue except with an EMMC install. I'm running TWRP and just came from MiRAGE CM7 to this rom. Did a full and complete wipe (factory reset, system, cache, dalvik) with no luck. Every time it boots it does the looping boot logo (starts moving, freezes for a bit, starts moving again).

I haven't tried doing much troubleshooting yet (i.e. checking to see if ADB is logging or working at that point) - any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
If you read back a few posts you will see that PA1.6 does not work if you wipe first on emmc. You need to install 1.5 and get it running and then install 1.6 without wiping.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cabe24i:
I haven't even gotten to 1.6 yet, I get this straight from 1.5. It said in the instructions to flash 1.5/gapps, configure it then flash 1.6. At this point, I haven't even been able to get 1.5 to get past the boot screen loop (it doesn't actually reboot and boot, it's just stuck on the cm9 boot logon forever.)
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboticBuddy:
Yes, I formatted it first, then wrote "generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large-Rev3.img" to the SD Card using Win32DiskImager. Then I copied the PA zip files onto the "BOOT" partition of the SD Card.

With any other ROM, such as MIUI, CM7/9, this method works for me, just not ParanoidAndroid.
[Nook Color Android Development] rsage:
Hmmm any progress on these install issues? I was about to install PA but now I'm rethinking that...
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Don't know.

The ROM hasn't changed. We had no reported issues on 1.5 for almost a month. 1.6 has always been flaky, though, and only for mostly cosmetic benefit. Especially for sdcard installs. If I was the ones having problems, I would start with the md5, maybe.

PA closed ICS a week after this went up. No way to update until CM10 for encore, and even then, it is probably best to let them get some stock testing done before they have to deal with bug reports from us.

I will update it when that is a possibility, but that is all I can do. I won't break street date...:silly:
[Nook Color Android Development] rsage:
Attempting an emmc install of 1.5 & 1.6 now, will edit this post afterward.

Edit: Interesting, I'm having the same problems. Coming from CM7.1 or 7.2, don't remember which. Using latest CWM. I double-checked all MD5's before starting. Factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, flash 1.5 and gapps, reboot. Endless starting/stopping boot animation. Tried a few things like fixing permissions, reflashing 1.5, reflashing gapps, even tried flashing 1.6 over 1.5 even though 1.5 wasn't working. Out of ideas.

Edit2: Ok, got it to work, but I'm confused. The OP references file pa_1.5-encore-20120801v1.5.zip, and says to flash that file + gapps, reboot/setup, then flash 1.6 over top of 1.5 (no wipe). I'm assuming 1.6 is pa_1-5a_encore-v1.6-20120803.zip. If I follow those directions, I end up on the never-ending boot animation. However, I then started from scratch (clean), and instead of flashing pa_1.5-encore-20120801v1.5.zip, I flashed pa_1-5a_encore-v01.zip + gapps (that's v01, not v1.5), reboot/setup, then flashed 1.6 over v01. That seems to be working. I bypassed v1.5 (pa_1.5-encore-20120801v1.5.zip) altogether. This is the only way I could get it to work.

Did I misunderstand the OP? Is there any problem with going from v01 to v1.6, completely bypassing v1.5? Also what should Settings -> About Phone say? Mine says Current Version: v1.5. Should it say v1.6? Is there some other way I can tell I'm on v1.6?
[Nook Color Android Development] halrulez:
I am confused now

[Nook Color Android Development] rsage:
Ok I went back and re-read the entire thread. Somehow I had originally missed THIS POST. It looks like I'm running into the same issue that mateorod had on 8/3, which is having to flash v1.6 over v01. I guess I got confused in the OP when it said to flash 1.5 first - since there are two versions with "1.5" in the zip name (pa_1-5a_encore-v01.zip and pa_1.5-encore-20120801v1.5.zip) - I must have flashed the wrong one first on my initial attempt. Hope this clears things up - and hopefully others having problems can try the v01 --> v1.6 method.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Well, the versioning on these zips sucks, for sure. That's on me. The zips I titled quickly, just to share for testing purposes ended up being what got uploaded.

But there is also this, right below the Download Link n the OP:

I almost yanked the 1.6 when it staying giving problems, but since some people were tenacious enough to get it installed, I left it up. Good luck with it, people...
[Nook Color Android Development] rsage:
Yep, I read that many times, and I think that's where I got into trouble. I could not get the v1.5 --> v1.6 install to work, I had to go v01 --> v1.6.

Anyway, many thanks for putting this together for the Nook, and the updates - working great now!
[Nook Color Android Development] Cabe24i:
Same with me, for some reason I thought the v01 file wasn't needed and it went 1.5 -> 1.6. After doing the following;

* Full Wipe

* Flash pa_1-5a_encore-v01

* Flash gapps

* Boot & Config

* Flash pa_1-5-encore-20120801v1.5

* Boot

* Flash pa_1-5a_encore-v1.6-20120803

everything worked. It's flying now after some additional config (overclock/various performance tweaks) and running much better than CM9 w/opengl (haven't tried a recent wo/opengl build yet).

Thanks for all the hard work, mateorod! Good luck with the hurricane, it passed us by here in FL but heading straight for you guys again. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] rsage:
Is it necessary to go v01 --> v1.5 --> v1.6? Each zip is a full release right? I skipped v1.5 altogether, wondering if that's ok...
[Nook Color Android Development] tonyp:
Guys, do you know that ParanoidAndroid has opened their sources?

You could just build a stable 1.6 from sources, or even a 1.9x one if cm10 is stable enough.

I used to own a Nook Color half a year ago but sold it and only hop into this forum from time to time out of interest, so please excuse if this is old news.
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
Just got back from a very long hibernation having pawned my NC 6 months ago, and would be getting it back soon (hopefully Friday next week) and I've been on the lookout for a good custom ROM so that I can update it once its in my hands. I thought this one looked great and just want to make sure I'll be installing it correctly. Were there any changes as to installing custom ROMs for the past 6 months? Do we still put the files in the root of the sdcard and boot to recovery to clear system, cache, dalvik and other things and flash the zips? I think I need a refresher. :)

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Will this order of installation work for new users? And what's the "boot & config" part? Can you also tell me what things to wipe on a "full wipe"? Sorry for asking so many questions! It's been awhile since I've done this and I'm just really nervous!
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Those steps will work for a new PA user... "full wipe" is everything other than boot... NEVER wipe or format boot ;)

Yes, you still place the zips on the root of the SD card and boot recovery... do the wipes and install... but you should only have to wipe when changing ROMs, not upgrading previous version of the same ROM

"boot & config" is starting that version... setting it up (wifi, accounts, etc) then proceed to the next step after that

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Not really possible. Not for an ICS port, anyway. The system apps must be from generally the same build date, or the system borks.

I know it is frustrating waiting for an update. We are just waiting on cm10 for the nook. And I think the guys have made amazing progress. Don't forget, these devices are being sold with froyo, so the efforts to keep the Nook relevant have been amazing. We now know that JB will be released for the device, that's quite a feat.

I just don't have the time to go back to ICS as I am building aosp/kp/cm for several devices already and---
