I am going to guess that you are saying too bad we will never get hw acceleration, as opposed to some variant thereof. Well, we do have hw acceleration. Netflix and the rest. Krylon checked it into the device trees several months ago.

The investigative consensus was that the deletion of phone.apk has no effect on battery life and was a placebo. But I haven't done any looking at it myself. I think that hypothesis was premised on the idea that the relevant phone charges in the battery reports were artifacts or something to that effect. I read it early on and remember not finding it that convincing, but what did I know?

I do know the practice is long out of vogue, for good or ill.

I don't suppose you will find too much of a difference in performance between this and Cm10. Same device and kernel trees. If one of them is any slower though, it would probably be this one, just because of the extra framework layer. But I haven't noticed any difference. I think that if you are the type to heavily customize your experience, or even just have one favored app that doesn't act right in phablet, then PA would be for you.

I fixed up our tree, the one based on CM. I got tired of waiting on the upstream PA to release the PAOSP sources. So our tree is now buildable again, I would bet eyeballer willl be able to order a build in the next day or so. Thanks for your patience.

Updated 2.99 is available on goo ...... Haven't tried it yet. Will flash when I get home.

Edit: oops, eyeballer beat me to it!!!:what::cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] dparrothead1:
First impressions of Dec 6 build. Boots much faster. Seems very fast and snappy.

Tip: After you flash and reboot. Just set it down for 45 minutes to an hour. Was very laggy at start, but has really smoothed out.

Thanks Devs !!!! Sweeeet ROM!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] dparrothead1:
Nice battery life.

Just flashed to 2.99. Anyone else getting gapps failures left and right? I'm using gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip as provided a little earlier. After flashing 2.99, I reflashed gapp, but all of the Google apps simply stop.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I don't know what your problem is, but you usually don't need to reflash gapps after a ROM flash. As part of the normal install your existing gapps are backed up and restored as part of the ROM flash.

In order to fix it you may need to backup your installed apps with Titanium Backup and go to recovery and do a factory reset. Probably do not have to reflash. Then after rebooting, restore your backed up apps.

[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
I didn't think I needed to originally. I flashed 2.99, but all of the gapps were gone when I booted up after the flash. That's what prompted me to re-run the gapps package.

EDIT: Let me give it a little more time, this was just my initial outcome. I'll post back.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
After a fresh reboot, the following apps stopped after the lockscreen:

GMail (2x)

Google Play Music (3x)

Play didn't have any apps listed under my installed apps list. A reboot seemed to fix that.

I never really use Play Music, so I just uninstalled it. I uninstalled then reinstalled GMail, seems to be working ok now.

All other Google Apps seem to be working ok after a reboot (Drive, Search, G+, Maps, YouTube), just thought I would throw these out there just in case. Then again, I may be the one with the problem. So far so good right now, though.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
I've always had to re-flash GAPPS after flashing a new PA.I always wipe cache and Dalvik before flashing PA.
[Nook Color Android Development] Dwyndal:
Love this build, was using 1.6 for a while and just happened to check out here and saw 2+. Was happy with 1.6 but had issues with random reboots and couldn't get it to power down or turn off. Each time I held the power button for the options, it wouid reboot. I know that may be tackled in a different thread just saying.

Anyways, love this one it's nice and stunning to look at but I am having issues with apps being marked as "invalid package or signed incorrectly"

I have a few apps, that will not download at all. I assumed it was phablet settings but I have changed tablet, phablet and phone but still these apps fail to download from the market 4.1 and 4.2 gapps. I have even tried installing from TB and apks from other devices to no avail.

My flash process is clean, wipe system, wipe android secure, dalvik and cache for kicks, flash rom on, dalvik an cache wipe, install gapps and wipe dalvik and cache again.

I had issues installing a few apps, one a new game i wanted to test WORP (war games puzzle type) and I believe chrome had issues. I had about 4-5 that failed and thought I was using the wrong gapps or had bad flashes. After those minor things being problematic, I had issues with the rom running a bit slow and was testing others out, so i took it off but want to come back. Any tips on what to do when these apps go bad or gives me these errors when it works fine on my hp touchpad or another rom on the same device?

Would it be a good idea for me to re-root this device? I have been using the same set up as when the nook color was first released. I am seeing that with the hp touch pad acme installer is creating larger partitions for the device now that the new roms need it. Would that make a difference in my rom speed or could that just be my sd card?

EDIT** had same issues on the 2.99-06DEC2012-205916 and previous November build.

Thanks for the help, and reading all the above if you did
[Nook Color Android Development] nfreebairn:
I had the same thing happen to me. All gapps stopped and had to reinstall. Now after the reflash of gapps ever time I reboot it says upgrading device. Going to try a clean install. Was using same gapps as you.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
First off, do not use the 4.2 gapps. You are asking for trouble if you do.

Second, what do you mean re-root the device? Do you mean wipe everything and start over? If you go to my tips thread linked in my signature and get my format 567 zip and flash that, your system will be pretty clean. Then anything you install will start very clean. But your ROM speed was probably not effected by that anyway. You mention your SD card. I assume you meant that for storing media, not running ROMs. Running ROMs on SD is a different thing.

Third, our new ROMs do not need more space. What B&N put there for the ROM is very generous. Now data and media space is another matter. There is a repartitioning thread that tells you how to adjust the amount of space allocated to each.

[Nook Color Android Development] Dwyndal:
I slowly figured out 4.2 was part of the issue, but several of the apps I was installing was from the market. I had bout 4-5 that were "invalid package signatures" which I have never seen before. I am more used to seeing the standard this app is not compatible with your device or even the "this app has closed" usually from not having the right density aka chrome for tabloid lol.

I did mean re-root as in wipe to stock and root the device again. I have seen some bad things happen from flashing, flashing, flashing where I have seen best results to go back to scratch. I will try your 567 zip that you speak of, Thanks.

As for the SD, I thought I ran my rom off the SD card not EMMC but I pulled the card and it booted fine (herp derp) so that changes that thought that my SD was slow or of poor quality.

I will try to flash again and use the signed gapps-jb-20121011 which works with CM10, the above mentioned app issues were not deal breakers, I was just trying different methods to fix lag and app install issue as I have never seen t before on an app, let alone several and I haven't even started installing most from my apps off the market.

Thanks for the reply!
[Nook Color Android Development] Dwyndal:
update:

Still getting errors installing apps from the Market saying "Package file was not signed correctly" is there something I can do to work around this. It's not a deal breaker for me with this ROM. It's a few apps but I had the feeling, I was missing something. Using the latest ROM build and gapps in my above post.
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
there is a program called Lucky Patcher, you're gonna have to Google it and sideload it, but it can patch Android to avoid the signage issues
[Nook Color Android Development] Dwyndal:
Excellent, thanks

**EDIT**

hmmm any other way around than this method? This is from apps downloading from the market not just apps i have collected, granted I can send the apk to my nook from my hp touch pad but I would rather know if this can be prevented from the market source. I assume this is just a waiting game then since I am updating my system myself hehe
[Nook Color Android Development] mopsuestia:
Eyeballer, any chance of a PA build with the new test kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I just took the kernel from the test zip he posted and installed it in my PA. You could do the same thing easily. Use archive software to extract the kernel from his test zip and also using archive software, replace the kernel in the PA zip with the new one. Then reflash the PA zip.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I'm all for you guys wanting to check out the new kernel and its extras (CIFS module built in, cool right?) but remember what slou said here and only report back to them if you have something VERY unique to share.

and even then, remember to stress you are not following their testing requests, ok?

Thanks everyone.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
I was trying to yank the kernel from the CM10 test and put it in this 2.99 from Dec 6 before I flashed it... but I'm getting an issue. I can't modify the zip at all, because it has duplicate file names:

system\etc\terminfo\2\2621a

system\etc\terminfo\2\2621A

I assume this is because windows doesn't allow file names to differ only by case, and maybe Unix/Linux does?

Is there a way for me to fix this, or should I want for later builds of PA with the new Kernel already in place?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Are you trying to unzip and rezip the whole file? Or maybe you are using the native Windows ability to see zips. Use separate archive software like WinZip or WinRar and only do the one file.

Edit: I actually did it differently. I am on SD so I could extract the file and rename to uImage and put the SD in the PC and copy it manually. That duplicate might truly prevent you from doing it the way I suggested.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
I wanted to wait a day or two before pushing out a PA build just so we can collect some reports (good or bad). Testing on stock CM10 is much simpler and the reports are much more valuable.

As leapinlar pointed out, there's nothing to stop you from using the test kernel on PA right now. Instead of messing with zips, it's easier to just extract the kernel file from the test zip, boot into recovery and mount /boot via the menus, then 'adb push kernel /boot/uImage'. Unmount /boot and reboot.

As mateorod pointed out, please don't report bugs/issues with the kernel in the main CM10 thread if you're running PA.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
I was trying to do it with 7zip, since I'm told 7zip doesn't break signatures on rom files, just in case. I wasn't extracting the whole thing, just trying to overwrite a few files... like kernel and ramdisk.img. I was gonna to play with it for a bit till I had it right.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Well... I may say I'm impressed with the Dec 6... this is truly impressive. The performance is notably better on this than the last. Could be the extra 100mhz, but I wouldn't have expected 10% to be this much better.

\Maybe unrelated note, my speed issues with internet are gone (been having those for months across different ROMs, no idea what caused them, or how I got rid of them).
[Nook Color Android Development] firegeek:
Am I missing something? I can't get it to download anything from the play store. I get an error. I've tried changing the ui sizes and dpi settings but nothing seems to work. It's a clean install of the newest December version.

Thanks!

When I try to run

./android

after navigating to the tools folder, Terminal outputs this:

./android: 1: ./android: java: not found
./android: 1: ./android: java: not found
./android: 110: exec: java: not found

... not sure why, given I have JDK 7u9 installed properly (according to the installation manual on Java's website). Any input?
[Nook Color Android Development] unibroker:
Is java in your PATH?
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Firstly, the party line with Android is that you will need JDK6, not seven. I haven't tried with JDK7 though, it may work. Just be prepared for that to conceivably be a hassle for you. If you don't have a reason to use 7, go back to 6 and save yourself some grief.

My guess is that Java is not in your path. Path is a list of directories where the shell goes to look for executable programs. You know how you run a program on a computer by navigating to the window and clicking on it in a file explorer? Think of the path as a list of windows that are always open with all of the programs in those windows ready to be ran.

You will need to tell your .bashrc where you installed your JDK library, so it can find those tools.

cd ~
sudo gedit .bashrc

And then add the following, changing it to reflect where the JDK is actually installed on your system:

# JDK
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_33"
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

I have amended this some from how I actually have it on my computer (I use symlinks to make updating easier- not important). Just make sure you have the proper name for your java folder and it is pointing to where you actually installed it.

When you are done adding Java to your path, then go back and try running the android script again. If it doesn't work, please post the output of:

java -version
echo $PATH

Setting up Java and your path is absolutely the biggest learning curve of the whole process. Get through this and you're set.

Edit: I just saw you are running Linux machines already, as per your sig. So perhaps you won't need this level of detail. Hopefully it will be useful to someone, though.

ES1.2, cyttsp

PA Encore 2.99 06DEC2012 nightly
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
If I wanted to try the new kernal with the latest 2.99 version of PA, how would I go about that (on EMMC)

Would I just take the kernal file from the experimental zip and put it the PA zip and flash. If so, how...unzip/re-zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Look back a few posts. Eyeballer said how to do it with adb. There is a problem with using the zip method.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
I thought that was just for an SD mount. I couldn't find a /boot directory to mount.

Am I misunderstanding?

This is actually what prompted my question.. I was trying to follow his instructions. Maybe I just need more detailed hand holding..!!
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
just flashed over 12/6....so far there is a definite difference, it is smoother and quicker...the power button doesn't flip out when I am trying to turn it off...this is definitely my daily driver for right now
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You may be running a newer version of recovery. The newer CWM removed the mount and format of /boot because people were getting into trouble formatting boot. You can mount it manually with adb shell using these commands.

adb shell

su

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot

exit

exit

Then do the command he listed.
[Nook Color Android Development] webdoctors:
I also flashed 12/6 two days ago, and man I'm absolutely shocked how great it is. Its fast! Everything worked for me for normal use (adobe pdf, web pages, pandora, google play, and using Next Issue to view Time Magazines).

Really surprised how great this release is, I didn't think it was possible on hardware this old.

Hopefully future release will have a kernel that lets you up the CPU freq back to 1.2-1.3 GHz, I think its at 1.1 GHz right now and its pretty good, but if I can get a 10% boost for free, why not? :laugh::good:
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
I would like to flash 2.99, but I still can't get past the fact that the flash blows my gapps to smithereens. Not sure why it's selective to just the gapps, but even Titanium Backups don't restore correctly. So I'm still clinging to 2.55.
[Nook Color Android Development] thewaywardgeek013:
So what do you use System Tuner for, it seems that ROM Toolbox almost covered all the settings there.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Still the same. I cleared the app cache, wiped Dalvik and CM cache. I know that I can install ICS apps because I installed Nova from an apk file.

If this isn't thread-related, let me know. I'd hate to derail the thread here.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
No, I think this has a place here, for sure. I hadn't chimed in because a) I know it DOES work, at least for other users and b) because I don't have a working wifi chip in my Nook anymore, so I can't really test breakage or solutions...

Try making sure the market dpi are both default in the Paranoid Settings. Google Play is a real stickler about dpi, for some reason. I think it is so people don't download apps that don't work for their device, but it is a pain either way.

I am pretty sure that your problems are related to Paranoid Android, but I am equally sure that they can be solved.
[Nook Color Android Development] halrulez:
I have my Google play setup for tablet UI and default dpi. And the only other way I tried it was with default / default

I use system tuner to change snappyness and to mess with the kernals a little more. But ya Rom toolbox does have it all mostly. Ok back to the thread sorry :/

Great work again guys on this rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Ok, good to know. Thanks, Mateorod. I checked the DPI for Google Play and it was all default.

Just to double-check myself, I did the following:

Cleared the app cache

Cleared the partition cache/dalvik cache via recovery

Reflashed gapps-20120511 (ICS)

Still had the same result. One thing I noticed is that when I cleared the Dalvik cache, I would get the "Android is upgrading... # of 180" message upon reboot. That doesn't sound right to me.

Aside from my market issue, the ROM is fantastic. I'm working to try and get better battery usage now.
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
The Android updating message is fine. I get it too with the same number. Incidentally, I get the same number whether on this build or AOKP.

Out of curiosity, are you using the version of the play store in this thread? I think it is a must. They tweaked it to not worry about your screen res.

Good luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Yes, I am using the one from this thread. I was considering trying the one from AOKP to see if that worked, but haven't yet.

I'm not sure if it is screen res that is the issue. I used to use JuiceDefender on CM7 KANG. However, since I moved to this ROM I can't run it or reinstall it via the market nor can I restore a Titanium backup for it. The market says my device is incompatible, and I KNOW that app is available for a wide range of versions...

EDIT: I added a link to my build.prop and pad.prop files - https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4nw5C59B4OOMHlLREdTZG4wTmc/edit
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Glad you like it! And that tip about the special gapps package is right on point. The download page has a specially modded market that is supposed to get around the Google Play DPI restrictions.

I bet that is it...

An update on the update: There will still be an update soon(ish) but it will remain 1.5. The changes to 1.6 are almost exclusively related to unportable (to our OMAP chip, anyway) speed changes so I am going to halt my attempts at forcing the 1.6 issue. It was burning up all my modding time, and it just seems ill-served. So we will work at perfecting this version (some changes I have in mind will be aimed at increasing the battery life, for instance as well as sorting out some of the minor cosmetic tics).

I was as new to PA as you guys were, but I like it very much. The issues my Nook always had with sleep seem to have been resolved and flash player is certainly a huge plus. I feel like we may get someone close to fixing it for CM9 with the info Leapinlar's put up.

If anyone has noticed anything that needs fixing, please post it over the next several days, as well as posting your pad.prop, no matter how little you've configured it. Any changes in the Paranoid Settings will be written there, so it is not technical knowledge we're after; simply user preference.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Ok, so I decided to start from scratch again. I restored my CWM backup to CM7.2-KANG, cleared the cache partition and the dalvik cache and reflashed PA & Market. I hadn't made any changes to the system whatsoever after the reflash to PA. In fact, JuceDefender was working this time when it wasn't before once PA came up.

Anyway, I cleared the Market cache and data and opened it to see if it worked and am experiencing the same result. It's a fresh install, but I can't install ICM apps like Nova, Atom or BOID. I'm at a loss.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Well, maybe the restore to gingerbread is your problem. Sometimes you have to wipe data when upgrading to CM9 all by itself. Since you have a backup, try wiping everything and then flashing PA and the modified gapps.

You can restore your apps from titanium if it works...sometimes a wipe is the cost of upgrading.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
The app is probably not working/"compatible" due to the B&N settings in your build.prop... you can use my IMEI Generator to spoof a different device if you'd like... I'd suggest Galaxy Tab or the one listed as "DizzyDen's CM9 Settings"
[Nook Color Android Development] RETIEF:
Thanks.

This was a great step forward in my opinion. I now can get to the menu in a few apps where it was hidden before, and can size each app the way I like it.

Still a few bugs, but I appreciate the hard work to get this going.

:good:
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
This was the problem right here. I used Titanium to backup all my apps and I just did a complete wipe. Zero issues installing PA on a clean device. In fact, I noticed a couple more settings had shown up that weren't there before.

So perhaps an upgrade from CM7 to CM9 is not ideal. A full wipe is necessary.

Thanks for the help! This thing flies and I love the per-app UI and DPI settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] halrulez:
Haven't seen any action here in a few days. Anything new happening here or is it on hold and the resources being directed to JB right now? Just asking I'm not expecting or demanding anything.

I'm all thumb's
