Just wanted to ask fellow MROM users out there. What app do you use for playing video on the Nook Color? Do you convert the video first prior to loading it on the Nook Color? What settings/tweaks do you apply for playing HD videos?

I remember way back that there was a Nook Color-specific Handbrake Profile (.plist) that has been made by someone here that converts HD videos that's exactly tailored for the Nook Color, with the right resolution and relatively small output size but still plays perfectly on the Nook Color. I think his name was Maurice Mongeon. I dont remember his name here at XDA, but he does have a website here: http://mrm3.net/. Unfortunately, his .plist file cannot be downloaded on his website anymore. Does anybody here know what I'm talking about? Does anyone of you still have that awesome .plist file? Any other suggestions for converting videos/playing videos on the Nook Color? Thanks for the help!

Nice Build

First off: Very nice build. Just loaded up your latest 20121025 release.

Loaded easy without any issues.

You state that you optimized this for the Nook Color, so why is there a camera app that takes pictures of nothing and phone app that makes calls...well tries to anyways..

:)

Keep up the good work!
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
Some apps are dependent on them. It can be hidden if it bothers you too much. Or you can wait for the OP to update it.

Tapatalkin' it from my NookColor running CM7 MROM
[Nook Color Android Development] RandomPooka:
This is from what I remember offhand in the wee early hours ---

Camera and Gallery are both provided by the same app. You'd have no Gallery without the Camera.apk

The phone app provides both telephone and contact storage. You'd have no address book with email addresses and such without the Phone.apk

Great effort. Your compilation made cm7 most stable so far. Congrats!
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Thanks, glad you like it, everything about this rom, except for native drivers are compiled from source...
[Nook Color Android Development] zektor:
EXCELLENT ROM! I got one of these Nook Color units two days ago for a very good deal, so I guess I could be considered a newbie to this device at least ;) I was amazed at how easy it was to mod. I initially tried the CM7 nightly, which was ok. But today I found this thread and figured I'd give it a whirl. Night and day performance difference! I am extremely happy with it, and I think I am done experimenting. Now that I have a really functional tablet I plan on simply enjoying it with your rom. Thanks again for the hard work and bringing this to us!
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Glad you are enjoying it...and thanks for using my rom...
[Nook Color Android Development] AngelWings8:
I'm loving your ROM as well! It's so fast! =) I noticed that you added HoloLauncher. I was just curious what the reasons were and if users tend to like it more than ADW (is it better? faster?)

Thank you!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] buzz86us:
i don't need contacts on the nook gmail handles them quite well and i got rid of camera and gallery in favor of quickpic

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

did he do any optimizations to it? i was playing around with it and the icons were too small and far apart so i just went to zeam.
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Decided to try this ROM, wiped my Nook installed it, rebooted , went back into recovery & installed Apps, restarted. But am not able to get Market to work, either getting force close or crashing, and search isn't working, even though I followed the guidelines.:silly:
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Can you provide a logcat containing the problems?
[Nook Color Android Development] k8108:
I'm really enjoying the speed of this rom. I would really like to use a 240 dpi, but after I edited build.prop with root explorer it didn't take. It says 240, instead of 160, but everything is still small. I have had no luck with LCD density changers in the market either. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Should I have used the MROM version of gapps instead? I put in the CM signed one from your site.

update: I wiped & reinstalled the ROM, this time using the MROM gapps, and all is good
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Quick first impressions:

ROM is pretty snappy! Love the icons & "the look" overall. Installed Zeam launcher & love it, it's the perfect companion to this ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] Srdondo:
First off, very good work on this ROM. I made the mistake of playing around with themes. I changed to the System Theme, then tried to go back to the MIXER-MROM theme, but it won't let me. It only gives me an error. Anyone know his to get my theme changed back?
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
as root, remove the theme files from the /data/property directory and restart...
[Nook Color Android Development] Srdondo:
Root

Thanks. How do I do it as "root"?
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
You can use a terminal and type "su", or adb shell, which should be root already...

$ su
# cd /data/property
# rm *theme*
# sync; sync; sync; reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] Srdondo:
Thanks. That worked perfectly. I'm getting flashbacks from my Linux days :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Srdondo:
I just installed the update. So far so GOOD!
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
What changes are there in this latest version? The changelog doesn't have anything past 10/26/12.
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
I apologize, was pointing changelog to an old URL. I have updated the OP, but please use this link...https://github.com/MROM/android_vendor_mrom/blob/gingerbread/CHANGELOG-MROM.txt
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Great ROM! Going to apply the update shortly. Also..donated!

Thanks for your efforts..it's funny, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, but I still seem to use my Nook more =)
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
It's the joy of tinkering stuff, I tell you. :) Thanks for the update, by the way!
[Nook Color Android Development] neoage:
Quick question: can this be overclocked? I understand it'd be detrimental since it defeats the purpose of stability, but it'd be great to know since this rom looks so promising.

[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
It's pretty much the same as the MiRaGe build. It can be overclocked. I have mine now at maxed out at 1.2GHz

[Nook Color Android Development] buzz86us:
it it bad to use Nook tweaks along with Setcpu? I like the profiles when I am doing something that doesn't need very high specs like reading a comic that the processor will sometimes scale up cpu usage on for no reason. I wish nook color tweaks had options to fix a certain app to a single stepping..
[Nook Color Android Development] orlzzt:
I have to say...this ROM is working better than any ROM I've tried so far on the NC! Many compliments to the chef! You just saved me from having to buy my wife a Nook HD for Christmas! (Or an iPad mini, God help me...)
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Thanks... Glad it's working for you... looks like it saved you some money too...
[Nook Color Android Development] lincomatic:
Incredible. My NC has been sitting in standby for 3 days and the battery is still 100%!

Compare this to CM10, which kills 20% battery/day on standby.

Keep up the great work! Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] socos25:
This rom is very, very good. I am very impressed with video playback, and just how snappy the ROM performs. My thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] bachikho:
how to delete blank screen in the 20121110 build homepage plz?

and it seems that battery of this build drains faster and this build is slower than previous build also?
[Nook Color Android Development] lincomatic:
10 days in standby, and battery still @ 100%!

I wonder why all of the CM10/Jellybean builds drain the battery so badly in standby?
[Nook Color Android Development] Anemailname:
Have had no problems with battery drain with this rom!

Just (finally) updated to the latest build and have noticed a difference in speed, seems faster to me.

Before I updated, I was getting a few FC's and the status bar would shut down for no reason.

Have not had this happen in this build so far.

Thanks again mmontuori!!
[Nook Color Android Development] bard77:
Hey all....I'm having a problem...I flashed the ROM with no problem, but when I tried to boot back into recovery, CWM, to flash GAPPS I get stuck at the CYANOMOD screen with a "Loading...' message....it never goes beyond that point. I even let it sit like that overnight and no change. Please help!
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Which version GAPPS are you using? Make sure you use the MROM gapps, versus the CM signed one. At least that is my experience, the signed one never worked right, but the MROM version worked fine on my Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] bard77:
I never got a chance to flash GAPPS...I couldn't get back into recovery to flash it.
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Tried redoing it from scratch?
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Would love to see this ROM get updated to use Cyanoboot
[Nook Color Android Development] celticchrys:
I have had a similar excellent result. The Nook Color just goes and goes now, in comparison to other ROMS.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Don't know what JB builds you were using but that's not reflective at all of my experience. MROM is only slightly better than the current CM10 builds from my testing and observation as far as standby battery life. This is still a great rom, but CM10 is pretty great right now. I'm still waffling on which to settle on, but leaning towards CM10.
[Nook Color Android Development] darkmatter34:
I'm liking this so far, but the Kindle app seems to crash it every time. Pretty much the only app I really need to run, lol.
[Nook Color Android Development] bbqsfire:
I had installed the first upload of this and wasn't really liking it. I used çm10 and some of the other jb builds since then. I hated the battery drain and sluggishness of those. I downloaded this sitting in a meeting on Tuesday and installed it. I have used it a fair amount since I was away on a trip and I can honestly say you have made a remarkable rom. I haven't put this on charge at all since Tuesday morning which never happened with cm10. The speed is not blazing fast but this is a nook. If I wanted speed I wouldn't have bought this. I have not had a single fc or had to reboot. Nothing has froze up. I think I have found the rom I am sticking with until I get my Microsoft surface. Thanks for your work on this. Definitely what I am needing until I retire my nook to my mom.
[Nook Color Android Development] JeramyEggs:
Thanks for such a wonderful addition to the ROMs here. I am likey. My son loves the speed boost over cm10. :thumbup:

:thumbup:
[Nook Color Android Development] neoage:
I love the speed of the Rom, but I've been having issues with the included YouTube app. I flashed the gapps zip file from the developer's site, and well...

It doesn't let any video play. It just gives me an error. I tried installing a Flash 11 apk, from adobe themselves (their archive for 3.x & 2.x apps) and it still doesn't work.

Any help?
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Make sure videos are set to play in sd. Nook cannot play hd movies...
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
I've noticed that I can't seem to be able to save voltage setting under Nook Tweaks with this ROM. I set & save them, but at next boot up they are back to stock.. Also it seems that boot up takes longer than with the earlier version.
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
After charging the Nook, I remove the cable, but the charging "plug" icon continues blinking unless I do a reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
What customizations have you done?
[Nook Color Android Development] neoage:
It's definitely not that. I never play YouTube movies in HD anyway, for speed reasons. I checked everything off, including preloading and cache. I get this: "There was a problem while playing - Touch to Retry". I do, and all it does is go back to the black screen with the "play" symbol, where I get the message again.

I checked my connection, and it's not that either...

The app loads fine, though...
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
None, just installed the ROM. Originally ,I had installed the newest update over the older version, but it seemed to have been running fine.

Lately though, it seems like it is running a bit sluggish, battery use seems faster, bootup time longer. I wiped cache & Dalvik, and reinstalled the full latest ROM the other day, but that didn't seem to help. I use Akidiko as my ereader, and it too runs slow.
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Strange, do you have a program installed like system tuner pro? You could record performance statistics... or even simpler, just connect adb over network and run top -t -m 10 -d 5. It should tell you the top processes. Sometimes I find applications using cpu running just because they are installed...
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
I finally decided to just do a full wipe & reinstall. This time I'm able to get NookTweaks to hold my voltage settings, and the ROM seems a bit more stable than before, though I still get the "working" blue circle when simply moving the Nook from portrait to landscape view while reading an ebook.

In fact it pops back to the main ebook reader screen just by tilting the device. Have never seen that before, and my wife said she is seeing the same thing (same ROM, same ebook reader, Aldiko)

I'm really puzzled at the downturn we're both seeing using this ROM, it used to be fast & snappy, not really sure what has been changed to cause this,as I pretty much left things vanilla besides voltage tweeks & just adding my few fave apps. The earlier install wouldn't hold any voltage settings I made, so I don't think voltage has anything to do with it, since what I'm seeing happens both with stock volt settings & lowered ones.

update: I installed System Tuner Pro, please advise if you want me to look at anything in particular, thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
It seems like the ROM has settled down after my recent re-do. Apparently the last update of Aldiko is the culprit, as I'm seeing other users comments about similar issues that we have. So M-ROM is good to go!:good:
[Nook Color Android Development] ejackson:
help please

I have a question and I have read several pages and found nothing. I am not new to android but new to the nook. My kids each got one for Christmas and I am trying to get this installed for them. Using CWM I wiped cache/data (factory reset) and wiped dalvik cache, it boots up to the "Welcome to NookColor - Touch the android to begin." But it doesn't do anything when I click the droid guy??

Help please!

Nevermind , got it. Just needed a system format after trying to install miui (way too many fc's with miui)
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukaza:
Very nice ROM, runs fine and is a keeper. Happy New Year 2013.
[Nook Color Android Development] majorpay:
Excellent ROM. I guess somewhere along the way I forgot how great the Nook runs on a solid CM7 based ROM. Like the theme for ADW as well (ADW has drastically improved over the past few years - I was surprised).

I'm coming back from CM10, and I think this will be the final resting place for my Nook.

On a side note: conservative sucks pretty bad for gaming - changed to on demand, cranked the cpu max to 1100, and everything's running solid.

I will note that the device has a difficult time charging with the screen on, but I've seen this on all ROMs now. I'm starting to believe this is related to the non-standard charger I'm using. While it is 2.1A, perhaps there is something about the stock charger that makes it enter fast charge. Still using the stock cable, however? I don't know.

Good work on an excellent ROM.

Just in case you don't know, you can do an SD install, so you can save your warranty. It runs the ROM off your SD card instead of your emmc

Install NC-MROM to micro SD card from Windows 7

Is there any way to get the NC-MROM [CM7] build:20121110 working with the verygreen installer image?

It was simple with the CM7.2 MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod.

I used Win32 Disk Imager to write the verygreen's generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz image from Windows 7 to the microsd card (after formatting with sdformater first) and that works fine.

The problem is when I try to copy the NC-MROM-20121110.zip to the microsd card Windows complains there isn't enough space on the verygreen imaged partition.

I'm trying to flash the microsd card remotely for a family member but it's difficult for me to geek out since I don't have physical access to the Nook Color or a Linux box on their end.

Instead, I'm simply trying to flash the NC-MROM ROM to the microsd card (16GB sandisk c4) by having them insert it in the sd card reader on their PC.

I was hoping I could do something simple like:

1. Format Sandisk 16GB C4 MicroSD card from within Windows 7 using sdformatter.

2. Use Win32 Disk Imager to write verygreen's Size-agnostic SD Card image to microsd.

3. Eject microsd and reinsert in PC card reader.

3. Rename NC-MROM-20121110.zip to update-cm-NC-MROM-20121110.zip and copy to microsd.

4. Eject microsd from PC and insert in Nook Color, power on, then enable WiFi and power down NC.

5. Copy MROM-gapps-gb-09212012.zip to microsd from PC card reader, insert back into NC, power back on holding Nook button to bring up recovery menu and finish installing gapps.

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Use leapinlar's ver 5 of the image... it has a larger boot partition and updated installer script to accept newer CM standard naming... it also now adusts the other partition sizes for different size cards to provide more data and system space for users to utilize when using larger SD's.

The other option is to write the image... resize the boot partition prior to booting the card in the nook... place renamed image on the partition and put it in the nook and boot it up.

Just wanted to inform you that MROM-CM7 for Encore is the final release. All new builds will be generated on top of CM-10. Get ready for MROM-encore-cm-10.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] demoport:
Beautiful ROM, fast UI, very smooth transitions, it breathed a whole new life into my nook color. My nook was sitting in my drawer for a long time...now I can't keep my hands off of it! I already bought a case and shopping for a bluetooth keyboard/mouse for it lol.

Thank you for this awesome work! Much appreciated!
[Nook Color Android Development] b_fizzle:
Looking forward to it! MROM has been hands down the longest running ROM on my Nook...by far the best combination of usability and performance.
[Nook Color Android Development] mmontuori:
Thanks, I think I have reasons to perform one more GB build... so it might not be the last one after all...
[Nook Color Android Development] AngelWings8:
Hmm mine was working fine after last month's update...but all of a sudden it just keeps showing the blue android circle working image. I tried restarting it but it's all it does. I tried re-installing the most recent MROM update, but that didn't help either. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much for this awesome ROM! I use it everyday!

MROM-CM-10

Hey Guys,

I am preparing MROM-CM-10 for the Nook Color, and I am also bringing the kernel up to 3.0.68, it's currently at 3.0.9.

My question is, I have to put a lot of effort in this, especially upgrading the kernel and just wondering if there is still interest in the Nook Color for me to do that.

Thanks...
[Nook Color Android Development] dragon57:
I am very interested. I am running NC-MROM [CM7] now, which I am loving. A CM 10 version should be quite nice!
[Nook Color Android Development] demoport:
Very interested here as well. Your CM7 rom is the only reason why I started using my nook again so CM10 is a great option if its comparable in performance.

I am new to the original development builds. I have looked everywhere for this. Does anyone know how to make the size of the data notification larger in AOKP-JB? Where I live I bounce between 3 and 4g all day. I'd like to be able to see which one I'm on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip.hughes:
Anybody? We can do this on the Touchwiz roms but nobody bothers on these?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
I recommend reading up on apktool. What you need to do is "decompile" your SystemUI.apk file (in /system/app/SystemUI.apk). Once decompiled, you can find the 3g, 4g, and signal strength icons. You can then photoshop or gimp to your hearts desire.

The high level process:

1) Find apktool 1.4.9 (I've used that one before and it worked well).

2) install the JDK from Oracle

3) pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/app/SystemUI.apk from your phone (or grab them from the rom zip.

4) import your framework-res.apk using apktool (java -jar /path/to/apktool.jar if /path/to/framework-res.apk)

5) "decompile" your SystemUI.apk file (java -jar /path/to/apktool.jar d /path/to/SystemUI.apk SystemUI)

6) make your changes in the SystemUI folder

7) rename the original SystemUI.apk file as SystemUI-orig.apk

8) "recompile" your SystemUI.apk file (java -jar /path/to/apktool.jar b SystemUI SystemUI.apk)

9) make a cwm zip to flashed your SystemUI.apk back to /system/app/SystemUI.apk (pretty straight forward. I recommend looking at other theme zips and see what they did for flashing SystemUI.apk

10) make a n android backup

11) flash your zip

12) Profit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip.hughes:
Many thanks! I have been playing around with this for about an hour and I have found the .png images and was about to resize them from 20x18 to something like 39x36 which is one of the full size icons. There is a 1X, 3G, 4G ( there is a blue one and a grey one each for a total of six) I didn't want to oversize them because there wouldn't be room on the bar, and I don't know what would happen, best case they wouldn't show, worst SystemUI fc's. Then I realized that these kind of float near the top of the bar so that would have to be adjusted too. There is a lot of code to poke through and I don't know where to look. Which is probably why no one has done this. The people who do know where to look are busy tweaking more important stuff. I can't be the only one that has to have a magnifing glass to see this.

If anyone else would like this mod and could point me at that file I'd be happy to share when I fix it. I'm not real bright but I am persistant.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lilmatt429:
