[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Yeah, there is still an update coming...although when has several factors.

Paranoid Android is closed source right now. That's the reason this is a port instead of a build. Porting involves ( but it not limited to) placing framework from one device's ROM into a build of cm for nook. To do that successfully, the build dates of each must be very close.

So the updates are going to be limited to when paranoid android itself updates. It has updated to 1.6 but the only substantive change was device specific, and unportable. Additionally, PA has closed ICS, and is now working on 1.7, Jelly Bean.

Their jelly repos are somewhat available, and there has been some progress with CM10 ports. I anticipate 1.7 to come out soon.

However, we won't have a port here until fattire gives the go ahead, and I can't speak to when that will be. Fattire has a specific way he likes to roll out new CM versions and I think it's great. He asks that builds not be distributed in the hope that the curious or impatient will learn to build from source (And to avoid endless bug reports and feature requests on experimental builds). Hundreds of people learned to build ICS last winter. Those walkthroughs are how I learned and got started making projects of my own. Eyeballer will know when a JB port would be appropriate. JB being incremental, I bet it won't be as much of a project, and thereby wait, as ICS.

We do have a small bug fix update almost finished, though. I've been sitting on it because I haven't been able to squash this one persistent bug ( the broken progress bars on things like the brightness slider and in the start-up screen for Titanium).

We'll put something (ICS bugfix, mind you) out this week, I'm thinking.

Hey thanks for answering back and confirmation of what to look forward to once things are ironed out. I think it just may be time to stop Skyrim and load up my vm and ubuntu. Might as well use this beast for some builds.

So I got vmware work station 8 and Ubuntu up and running. Guess its on to build enviroment.

Just downloaded, gonna give it a shot.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Ok, so having played with this for awhile now (was out on vacation last week), I can say that I really do like this ROM a lot. I think there are only two obvious issues I've come across while working with it:

1) Anytime I install an app, regardless of Home UI, it prompts me with a force close just before the install finishes. I always select "Wait" and it completes just fine a couple seconds later.

2) I let my Nook sit for a couple days without using it while I was on vacation and the battery drained completely. It has never performed the same since. I'm not sure if this is ROM-specific or what, but every single app loads at a snail's pace.

Other than those two issues, I really like PA.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Yeah, there were some little bugs like that, some of which I have licked, some of which I am still looking at. I haven't had the experience with the install FCs, myself though.

I am working on JB as we speak...
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I have heard some about this but have no answers, sorry. I don't use gapps, so I have no personal testing done.

Are you using the 4.1.2 version of gapps?
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
No worries, Mateo. It baffles me. I'm trying a couple different approaches to see if I can find a way around it.

I'm using 4.1.2, the one provided by eyeballer in this thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
I know it is not ideal, bu just reflashing the GAPPS zip fixes it for me.. then, of course, re-logging into the apps themselves.. certainly some hassle... but not terrible.
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
you just have to reflash the gapps zip....nbd
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Didn't work for me. It was one of the first things I tried.

I realize this is just an anomaly, though.

EDIT: I was able to run a full Titanium Backup of everything (apps+data), run a factory reset and install 2.99 with gapps. The Titanium restore worked and all the apps came back. I gave it a reboot, but it's been sitting at the PA logo for about 55 mins now...
[Nook Color Android Development] lollyjay:
IMHO 55 minutes is too long. Suggest you do full wipe and reinstall.

[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
Ok, so here's an update in case it helps anyone with a similar issue:

The problem - Flashing 2.99 over 2.55 broke gapps 4.1.2 on my Nook. All gapps were essentially gone (ie. Talk would not launch because it said it was not installed). I needed gapps (more specifically Play) because game save files (ie. Strikefleet) seemed to be tied to my Google account. It's dumb, yes, but it's mainly for my kids.

Anyway, through a winding road of discovery, it seems that the save files are tied to the android device ID... which I'm sure we all know that it changes every time to you a factory wipe. I discovered this when I told Titanium Backup to do a complete system+app+data backup before I factory wiped and flashed to 2.99. I ran a full system+app+data restore from Titanium and then rebooted, leading me to a stuck PA loading screen for about an hour.

So I rewiped and reflashed, but this time I restored my system data ONLY via Titanium one by one (accounts, bluetooth, browser, etc). It was at this point I discovered that the device ID had changed, and gave me the epiphany that perhaps a lot of these game files were tied to the ID and not the google account. So I restored Strikefleet. Lo and behold, it worked. So I'm now in the tedious process of restoring my apps+data one by one.

I still don't know why the 2.99 flash destroyed gapps in the first place. However, a tedious workaround worked and I am now enjoying PA 2.99.

FULL Titanium Backup (system+apps+data) >>> Factory Reset >>> 2.99 + gapps flash >>> Titanium System Data restore >>> Titanium App+Data restore

I am using latest TWRP..

I can do the adb shell and go to the /dev/block/ directory and do an ls and see the mmcblk01 file, but when I go back to root and do the mount command it tells me the file or directory doesn't exist..????? any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
That is not a directory or a file, it is a partition. Hang tight and I will make a flashable file. Someone ask in another thread and I will make one.

[Nook Color Android Development] Minjin:
Running it now. Seems quite a bit slower than the older CM7 roms but the improvement in features is worth it to me. Thanks for the work. Couple questions/comments:

- When people talk about GAPPS, they seem to keep saying 4.1 or 4.2 or something like that. But when I go to d/l they are listed in terms of dates. How are we supposed to know which one is which? I just grabbed a somewhat old one and hoped it would work. I have no idea what "version" it was.

- What DPI are we supposed to run at? Everything is a little blurry and LCDs only like to run at ONE resolution otherwise you'll get pixel smearing. When I look through this thread, I see people running all different kinds of resolutions, seemingly due to preference or to get the market to work (which I think has been fixed). I don't understand why anyone would want anything other than the default resolution.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You want the gapps with the 20121011 date.

To get the best play store compatibility, you should choose a standard android dpi. That is 120, 160 or 240. You would understand why some people want different resolutions when you get old and you can't read the tiny fonts that default (160) gives you.

Is anyone else getting boot animation bootloop when you go to tablet mode?

Tablet mode working fine for me.. latest build...
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
I get a Status 7 error when attempting to flash. I always do an MD5 check whenever I download builds and I just did it again to this one, and it matches! I wonder what's wrong? :confused: I downloaded mine off of goo.im. I am now downloading at techerrata. I did check that they have the same MD5 though, so I'm not sure if it'll make a difference, but I'll try whatever I can think of to fix it while waiting for your replies... :(

EDIT:

Now that I think about it, I transferred the zip file via wifi file explorer. It was successfully uploaded, but I'm not sure if that caused the corrupted zip issue. I'll try transferring the file via USB cable this time.

EDIT 2:

Transferring said file in USB cable did not make a difference. :(

EDIT 3:

I finally did it! I still get the status 7 error when I flash in CWM 3.2.0.1, saying something about "symlinks failed", but luckily I had TWRP as my alternate recovery and it worked there. Hope this will help other people.

I get a bootloop any time I reboot, not sure if it's from running the V6 Supercharger or something else. If I clear dalvik when I reboot I'm fine. You might try that.
[Nook Color Android Development] dparrothead1:
I always clear the cache and dalvik. It booted fine when I did the flash....I only get the bootloop when I change to tablet mode and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
How do you disable PA Colors? xD
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:

[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
FYI, I had the same gapps problem with Dec16 as I had with Dec6. Not sure why this is happening, but I received a PM from someone who had the same problem. (Can't post here as he doesn't have 10 dev posts yet)

I do notice the following after flashing the new build:

* Under "accounts" in Settings, Google account is gone, but all others are still present (ie LinkedIn, Skype, Dropbox)

* Play is present, but closes right away when attempting to open

* The following apps are wiped: Talk, G Search, G Calendar, GMail... possibly Play as well since it doesn't work

* I need to re-setup my Google account as if it were a complete wipe, prompting a new Device ID to be created.

There aren't any steps to flashing the new version on top of the current one outside of clearing Dalvik/Cache, correct? Just want to make sure I'm using the appropriate method to applying it.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
The CM updater-script includes a backuptool for gapps for whenever you flash a new build.

The process is:

1. gapps are backed up

2. /system is formatted

3. rom is flashed

4. gapps are restored

I'm guessing PA must have bypassed this now with their switch to AOSP base and not written something similar to replace it since their is no such script present in the latest build.

This is something we (well probably mateorod :p) will have to look into. In the mean time, flash the rom then immediately flash gapps and all will be well. If you've already rebooted after just flashing the rom you'll need to re-enter your google account info.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I was in the middle of responding when eyeballers post popped up in my inbox. I was just going to ask for a logcat, so I am glad he chimed in.

I can look at this later today.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
That explains why several other users have said they always have to reflash gapps. I could not understand why. Now I do. Thanks. I have my install on SD and it does not format /system so the gapps stay there. So you other SD users don't have to reflash either.

[Nook Color Android Development] tekweezle:
just in case this helps anyone, i;ve installed the PA CM10 on 2 Nook Colors this past weekend and so far it;s been good. In my limited installing of CM10 roms on a couple of devices(2 Droid Incredible and 2 Nook Colors) i;ve had less issues with bootloops doing a factory wipe/cache/dalvik before and AFTER flashing the rom. its tedious restoring my apps from titanium backup and losing my settings but it beats sitting around waiting to see if you get past the boot animation after about 5-10 minutes.

in another scenerio, I installed the PA CM10 rom, booted successfully and then restored just apps via Titanium Backup successfully but upon reboot, my Nook looked like maybe it was stuck in a bootloop and rebooted about 3 or 4 times. I let it run though and was surprised about 20 minutes later to get it back at the lockscreen. upon signing in, i noticed that several apps(a couple of games) did not appear in the app drawer even though they were installed on the device. another reboot and all was good for those apps.

Also-Thanks again for keeping development alive on this platform. I know it;s limited cpu wise but as long as mines doesn;t die, i can;t see upgrading to anything else. I primarily use mines to watch streaming video using the Viki.Com android app and while it;s running, there is almost no CPU hit so for me, getting a faster tablet doesn;t give me much.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
That makes complete sense, now. I can see why some have the issue and some do not.

Thanks for looking into it, mateorod!
[Nook Color Android Development] neoage:
quick question for you guys: is there any way to overclock this? My Nook ran a bit sluggish after the installing it, even after I’d done a factory reset & wiped both the dalvik & cache.

I didn't touch the DPI settings either...
[Nook Color Android Development] tekweezle:
System settings, performance, processor, and change max cpu frequency to the max allowed value(1100 mhz?)
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I have pushed the PA version of the cm gapps backup. Which is, much like some other things, simply the Cyanogen backup script (called 50-cm.sh) but now retitled to 50.sh.

I will let eyeballer know and he can order up a new build.

Whoops. That apparently isn't going to cut it...I will have to give it another go. Sorry for the raiised hopes...
[Nook Color Android Development] Kaptinkrunk:
well ill be testing these nighlys with you guys im on the newest one and it pretty nice im gonna see if cm10 is cooler probably not tho
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
Err... I seem to be getting bootloops each time I reboot, as well. I am a very patient man, waiting at least 30 minutes before declaring to myself that it is indeed a bootloop, just to make sure. And the only way that seems to have fixed it for me was to wipe the dalvik cache, each time as well. Which is quite tedious, since after wiping dalvik cache, the "Anroid is upgrading..." thing starts up upon boot and takes a good 10 minutes before it finally loads up my Nook Color (I've got like 187 apps). Otherwise, it's great. Fast, responsive and works generally better than CM10, based on my observation. Despite that, I am running PA 12/16 build (Auto-patched with V6 Supercharger) from a clean wipe. No problems with gapps, no SODs, OC'd to 1.1GHz and happy with it. Thanks a lot, eyeballer and mateorod and all the devs who are working so hard on this!
[Nook Color Android Development] tekweezle:
I have the same behavior on one of my nook colors run 2.99 from 12-6-12-wiped cache and dalvik and eventually came back. Other odd behavior was that was painfully sluggish to go through menus and browse Internet.

Probably unrelated but deleted some old titanium Backup apps from gb no longer installed and seems to run a little better. Oc to 1100 as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] japaneezy:
Posting here in case anyone comes to search for this problem - I tried updating via CWM and received "Installation Aborted" because "symlinks failed". I was on my way to installed TWRP as someone posted previously but saw in one of the features that it unmounts system to prevent these errors. So, back in my CWM, I just unmounted system, PA flashed normally (flashed gapps right after), then mounted system and continued. All went well.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Let me understand...for some reason some of you are experiencing boot loops every time you reboot unless you boot into recovery and then clear davlik cache?

And this does not happen with CM10, huh? Also, full wipes between moving from CM10 to PA?
[Nook Color Android Development] lollyjay:
I've stayed with testing only PA and have not had boot loops. Maybe something about switching between PA and CM10?

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Has anyone who experienced this tried a CM10 rom and then had the problem go away? I am trying to locate the issue...anyone in the position to grab a log cat from their PC as the Nook boot loops?
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
i have had no troubles at all with PA....whereas CM10 was giving me SODs and lag and just irritating little problems....Pa is fast and smooth and nothing is wrong..I installed it on a semi-dirty install...i wiped system and cache but kept data...and every time there's been an update i've flashed it on top with gapps after...and no problems
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
Haven't had boot issues from PA, sometimes from CM10
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr44:
I had bootloops early on (before others reported it) but figured it had to do with my gapps issue. I think I cleared Dalvik twice and it never happened again.

$0.02
[Nook Color Android Development] lynnji:
When I switched from 7.2 I tried both CM10 and PA before settling on PA. Then I installed V6. So my bootloops may be due to V6 or having played around with CM10 without doing a total wipe before installing PA.

Everything's very smooth on mine. My only other bug: I use gReader for news, etc, and today I installed the new Flipboard for tablets. About once a day while in gReader I'll go into an article and it'll freeze while loading. Touchscreen doesn't respond, home button doesn't do anything, power button doesn't do anything. Then it'll crash and reboot on its own. The same thing happened in Flipboard this morning. I'm assuming the old hardware on the Nook is getting overwhelmed.

I'd be interested to hear your opinion on whether V6 is worth running on this setup.
[Nook Color Android Development] RevTom:
Help me install it?

Anything I can do with it? All I know how to do is flash nightlies on my SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] RuneSpyder:
I can confirm the animation boot loop after changing over to "Tablet" mode via the Paranoid settings. Everything was working great until then. Cleared dalvik cache and rebooted. Seems to be ok now.
[Nook Color Android Development] vinal:
For me I think all 4.1 releases have gone into boot loop when I change anything in PA settings that requires a reboot. I can usually just power down and next boot works.

[Nook Color Android Development] purpleurkle:

[Nook Color Android Development] tube517:
Won't install. It says Install is unsuccessful.
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
Can you capture a log during install so we can see what's wrong? That Netflix apk is the only one that is suppose to work on CM10/PA 2.X.

yes. same problem here.. full wipes but did a app with data restore using titanium backup.. that could be the cause.. fortunately PA 4.1.2 is really stable.. no need for reboots at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] DroidBurgundy:
I am lacking in nook knowledge! I use to use Mirage cm7 on my nook but quickly lost interest in it as a usable device, and mainly just used my Galaxy Nexus for everything instead when not using my main laptop. Now, I find myself wanting to tinker and get the nook up and running for a family member, and wanted to try this one out. I have the Nov 21 nightly running ok, but was unable to flash the Dec 16 nightly.

I have recovery on the emmc CWM 3.2.01, and despite toggling the signature verification I get repeated "(bad) Installation aborted" errors even when the verification is not enabled. I have even noticed the same errors for the gapps (20121011 / 4.1x)

I guess I need to research what I am doing wrong here, and more precisely what partitions are what on my nook? Should I attempt a switch to TWRP or update CWM?

Either way, I am thankful that the nook color lives on thanks to the bright devs here, hopefully I will at least be able to get it working again :)
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
preform a FULL device wipe and try again, if that doesn't work than I know for a fact that twrp will install it as that is my set-up.
[Nook Color Android Development] DroidBurgundy:
yes perhaps i posted too soon. I do not understand how or why, but I was finally able to get the NOV 21 nightly to flash with gaaps as well, although for whatever reason TIBU loads up all my apps, but only offers 43 of them as able to be restored, I guess for now I will manually download tings as needed, until I get caught up to speed with the nook world.

Hey everyone, I hate to be asking this question but i dont have a lot of time so i am hoping for your incite. I'm rooting and flashing a nook for my friend and i dont have the time to test out all the ROMs to see which one is best. I was just gonna go with the Cyanogen because they always seem to work well but this one caught my interest. I just was wondering your opinion on this ROM vs CM10? I understand it is just an opinion but in your experience what are the pros and cons of each? They wont be flashing or updating in the future so i would prefer something that will remain stable. thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] deboyz1014:
Go with cm7, its stable and fast and you wont need to update again in the future.

As for titanium backup only offer 47 apps, there is a preferences setting within the app to look for specific folder on where the backup is at. Perhaps you have it backup to another folder location.
