nook clear screen wipes the ghost shadows.

you can reformat with these methods maybe sd-card works, one of my sd-cards got corrupted, try another:

usb Too? sounds like faulty hardware. I totally thrashed mine many times in the week i've had it and keeps coming back. others doing worse here. btw just played with nook touch mod manager. assigned a key to light, back and nav popups too. it is a good device if you read ebooks as is easy on the eyes plus long battery, otherwise a quad tab is better.

Noob question but I've installed the kernel but I don't see anyway to set the governor. Also does the kernel show up on the settings page? I've rooted using NookManager
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
I'm on FW 1.21. I flashed kernal 166 awhile back to enable multi-touch and that works fine. No-Refresh works fine (but I don't have it starting at boot). I can't get FastMode2 to work.

I added the line in the clrbootcount.sh file to enable FastMode2 at boot and rebooted. Nothing. When I touch the app icon I get a little flash and a return to the app drawer home screen, but no change. No Frills CPU continues to show a range of 300-800 MHz.

I have read the entire (...) thread. I must have missed something. What is it?:confused:
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode

via terminal or ADB and see if it works.

If the file 'fmode' does not exist, you flashed the kernel wrong.

If the file exists and echoing 1 and 0 to it does nothing, try killing NoRefresh before starting FastMode2 (they should not work at the same time).

It should run as root, have you allowed the app to access the system partition (su application)?
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
The system returns that the path cannot be found. So I checked with RootBrowser and there is no file "fmode". This leads me to conclude that while I successfully flashed kernal 166 to enable multi-touch, that particular version does not also enable FastMode2 and I need a newer one?
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
Try a different kernel then.

My memory is fuzzy since a long time have passed since my last post, but I think that I have posted the original v166.zip somewhere. Check my posts.

Latest Latuks kernel never worked for me like I wanted.

EDIT :

Try this one

Thanks so much for your help. I would have been done sooner but forgot just what was on my most recent NM backup and well.....

Anyway, I've got it working, including the Gscript behind the clock. I need to learn how to write those things! Can I "dress up" the titles of the .sh files without messing up anything?

EDIT: yep, the file name is not important; I can't figure out what the NoRefresh toggle is supposed to do. If I have NoRefresh active the toggle does not inactivate it (i.e., does not remove the check mark in the settings). If I have it inactive, it does seem to add the check mark. I only use NoRefresh by gesture command, not automatically on scrolling...so does it need to be toggled when using FastMode?
[Nook Touch Android Development] wozhere:
As I recently queried in the thread linked below, achieving forcing all rendering to GPU as claimed sometimes seems to be based on jam-dev's suspicion of a line deletion. It would be nice if we could be certain as he is not sure himself. Line delete did iMprove display slightly for me though.

Also the app in store: Nook Clear Screen, works great. If inside an app, any reader etc, should be functional from notifications. If not, run it once after boot. Also I'm running an old pro version of button saviour, inside any app long_pressing Home brings up recent apps per normal, so other screen mods can be run inside apps too.

I just posted to say thanks to guevor for this work. I've been running this on my glow since I got it last year with f/w 1.2.1 with kernel #166 and a certain old version of Zeam launcher (see my thread: listing of my apps in themes subforum or the best launcher thread to download) and this is solid as a rock and smooth as butter and fast as the wind, it's a beast. I'm also using a certain old version of CPU Master Pro. Anyone who's got a new NST device, don't hesitate, best kernel. Thanks again.
[Nook Touch Android Development] BaGRoS:
How can I go back to the original kernel? The modified continually freezes the system.
[Nook Touch Android Development] David0226:
Hopefully you made a backup. You can restore the backup using the same steps you used to install the new kernel.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Here's the original kernel for the Nook Touch Glow 1.2.1. Let me know how it goes.
[Nook Touch Android Development] vseslavrus:
Guys, please explain.

I tried to flash 166 and 174 kernel, Fastmode app does not seem to load the fast display mode, so I switch it with GScript (but the app does turn off the mode, which is interesting). I toggle it on, and the screen gets messed up with the artifacts (traces of former images). They do not much interfere with the imaged displayed at the moment, but still make it blurry. When I turn off the fast display mode, the image gets back to normal. What is the problem with the image? May I use the fastmode and still get the proper sharp image on the screen?

My NST is rooted with ZeroLab Nooter.

congratulations, looks like some very nice development!

if ever you'd find the time to port it to the glow-kernel, I'm sure a lot of people would also appreciate it
[Nook Touch Android Development] drmxmyt:
This fast display mode is far better than no-refressh hack. i really loved it. and about the new kernel, much faster than stock. just had a couple freezes/reboots occasionally but after all its pretty good.
[Nook Touch Android Development] phin586:
couldnt get this to boot. anyway to get this in a more scaled back version? the fast display mode alone would be nice.
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
Hi

I've ported my changes to the kernel of glow (apart of the code added to operate the light, has some more modern parts of the code). I have also reverted the nominal voltage to normal (in my case I have not noticed any difference, but may improve stability for others, because each chip manufactured may have small differences and thus different tolerances)

I have prepared two new versions, one without and one with the usbhost.

I would like to avoid as far as possible the need to create multiple kernels (to reduce the time needed), but if necessary to prevent crashes, I will make another version with less overclocking.

The first thing I would ask is that people suffering crashes, try reducing the maximum speed with a program (I use OS Monitor, but there are many others) to see if the freeze dissapeared.

I can assure you that in my case I only had crashes in expected situations, basically trying to play videos (without having researched, I understand that the problem is that the DSP is used to process the output to epaper and the video codecs may try to use it too)
[Nook Touch Android Development] dark_hawk:
Thanks for your work guevor.

Loaded the kernel on my Nook touch and there was a noticeable increase in responsiveness .

I think you should start numbering your releases.

Is that kernel applicable to both devices (The NST and NG), and is fast mode still working in this new kernel?
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
Yes, it should work on both devices and has fast mode.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
To play videos you need to have an external video player. I use "RockPlayer Lite" for video playback and TubeMate for downloading videos from youtube.

- Also..

My USB keyboard stopped working with your kernel. The USB Mode Utility shows that the keyboard is connected but no "key codes" gets recognized.

edit : the device still freezes up at random moments [NST].
[Nook Touch Android Development] Menchelke:
So my brother just bought a nook glowtouch and we are wondering... He is planning to install glownooter, can he install glownooter, and then patch the kernal that guyver posted and have the fastmode screen refresh?

Thanks.

Hello,

Very intresting topic. I have my NST (1.1.2) rooted using MinimalTouch. I'm kinda new with Android so I've got one question.

I've installed uImage (works fine) through adb, but how to install kernel-mod-v2? What it does exactly?

EDIT:

I was just testing FastMode and Nook completely froze while reading PDF. How can I reboot system?

EDIT2:

I'm using A.I.type Keyboard and after copy uImage it started to lagging. You have to wait ~1.5 second to see typed letter.

So I'm not the only one... I have the same problem with Calculator app, there is a little lag. Obviously with Fast Mode disabled.

In other apps, games and in particular while reading CBR files (comics) with "Perfect Viewer" app, the speed is almost doubled.
[Nook Touch Android Development] roustabout:
very nice

And sure to get better.

I just blew the kernel onto an NSTG (I'm not trying for USB support) and it works fine. The lights illuminate, page turns seem to go faster.

One odd thing - I was reading with the light on, powered the device down, and the light stayed on. I don't remember if that's normal behavior for the NSTG or not. It turned off after a few seconds, and seems fine to me. There is a little glitchiness with the display on the kernel that I don't remember from stock -- I use button savior, and the pointer to tell me where to hit the screen to expand the soft buttons drew twice, the second time about a centimeter up from the first location.

From what I've read, the Linaro environment has recently been acting up some. On my phone I use a Linaro compiled kernel, and the dev has seen some odd behavior with newer (I think September and forward) compiles.

But I'm delighted to see this kernel out there and to see a one-kernel-to-rule-them-all approach for the nook glow, too! Thanks so much!
[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
Can confirm that the NSTGL kernel works just grand. Page turns are definitely zippier. I tried out the FastMode as well but as NTT doesn't work (using the patched frameworks for GPlay) I start it from adw and then start an app, so it's a bit messy. Still a very cool concept! Your work is much appreciated, guevor!

-e

O

ne other thing - all that ugly ghosting that used to happen when moving around icons in ADW is gone, even with FastMode off...ain't that somethin'?

EDIT: This seems to be a bug rather than a feature in some cases (went back and read the rest of the thread after guevor's post of the nstgl kernel) When I try to use that standard kb to make notes there is definitely a lag between keypress and the key showing up in some cases. hmm...
[Nook Touch Android Development] dark_hawk:
Wh

A patched framework for Google play? Where is that?
[Nook Touch Android Development] staylo:
Thanks, guevor! I can use the NSTG (1.1.5) kernels guevor posted without problems. However, if I try to compile my own kernel against the 1.1.5 source, the patch applies correctly and the build completes without errors, but the kernel reboots after a few seconds on the 'Read Forever' screen. I was able to compile and run kernels using guevor's earlier patch for 1.1.2 without problems. Has anyone had success building using the default omap3621_gossamer_evt1c_defconfig as the kernel config when compiling, or is there more required?

I'm building with Linaro GCC 4.7-2012.09 , here are my build commands: http://paste.debian.net/197375/
[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
LOL dude I totally misspoke. I meant the patched framework for gapps to work. If you don't patch it (e.g. if you use TinyNoot instead of Glownnooter) then according to...roustabout I think? In another thread? then NookTouchTools still works.
[Nook Touch Android Development] roustabout:
Tinynoot doesn't try to support the android market, and does not touch the stock framework file. The up side is that you have a very close to stock, except

with Amazon and root, device.

The down side is that you need to sideload a lot of stuff if you're invested in the Android market.

Nook touch tools works partially with tinynooted devices - the side button remap works, but the Barnes and Noble button remap does not work.

More adventurous souls have looked into trying to get the policy.jar and services.jar files that NTT requires loaded on the NSTG and found themselves needing to restore - the device stops booting. so it seems that the BN buttons on an NSTG are, for now, not remappable.

That conversation is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1692290
[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
Re tinynoot/ntt - that's what I was trying to say, but you put it much clearer than I did and summarized it all - thanks

I'm assuming the orientation switch and assigning an app to the reading now button also does not work on tinynooted GLs with NTT? (e.g. that counts as a 'bn button'?)
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
I'm building with Linaro 2012.08-2-2012. Your build commands look correct.

Attached is the .config I'm using.

On the lag problem when typing, I do not remember how long it took unmodified, but I understand that is because of the changes I made on normal mode. Basically what I do is that if asked many updates, I discarded to reduce at a rate of approximately 2/s. The problem arises when the last updates are discarded (not ordering more, so the final state is not correct), that's why whenever discard, schedule an update after a while. That's what sometimes causes the display to remain incorrect until a last refresh was made.

I have to do more testing changing times to see if I can improve it.

About the usbhost I only compiled with the available patch. Not tested it, may be there are problems with linaro toolchain.

If I remember correctly, to test it, would need a different cable?

About the freezes, have you tested without overclocking (to discard that as the problem).

I'm not sure, but on my Nook NST (without GlowLight) uImage from 3 October fonts and everything looks better. The version from 6 October is worse for me. And also I can't achieve those quality like on your screenshots or like in video.

Do I need to set / sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode to 1 or FastMode.apk will do it?

Could somebody advice the best options for nook NST to overclock? Min/max frequency, best program (setcpu?) to manage it, best governor for device.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
I have used your compiled img file "uImage-usbhost.img"

CPU governor is set to "on demand" in "CPU Master Free". (current max CPU is 1000MHz)

The problem occurs only in fast refresh mode.

I'll set max CPU to 800MHz, run NST for 1 day and post the results.

[Nook Touch Android Development] Rafsen:
I'm using 1.1.2 (MinimalTouch) and new kernel works terrible. A lot of freezes and huge lag when typing. Good thing thet before upgrading I did a backup.

[Nook Touch Android Development] dark_hawk:
I love the kernel. It makes the nook fly plus Fast mode is very nice.

Apart from the occasional lag everyone reporting (Which is not so bad) there is the problem of battery life. The new kernel seems to be eating away at the battery like there is no tomorrow.

Battery level after 2 days 21 hours is now 58%.

[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
Another version.

I have modified both the fast mode and the normal mode. I think now they are better.

The number 166 is the compilation number (can be seen with cpu spy or other programs, on the kernel version, at the end a #166 for this). Can be used to reference to this kernel version.

I also made a zip to install from the cwm recovery (not tested but should work), that install the kernel, the fastmode.apk to change the mode and the modified required_hardware.xml to make multitouch work.

The dithering fantastic but I can't get the USB Host mode to work.

1) I'm plugging a GPS hockey puck into an OTG cable into the NST

Attached is the source patch against glow source code.

As I mentioned earlier I have not used the usb host, so I simply applied the patch and it seems that there is a problem. Maybe missing a build option (some of which have successfully compiled the kernel with usbhost can indicate whether a change was needed on the compile config?) Or may be a problem with the Linaro compiler.

You can make a clockworkmod (thx - not cyanogenmod) backup before updating the kernel. You can restore it later to the prior state. No adb needed.
