I had B3 flashed over B2 and liked it. I just did super-clean install (with system reformatted), and LOVE IT. Blazing fast!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Check settings under performance and cpu - what is your min and max? It should be 300 and 1000.
[Nook Color Android Development] can80an:
Same situation here, but although it is reporting bluetooth usage on the battery stat screen, I'm not sure it is actually using any power. My battery drain was only about 2% overnight.
[Nook Color Android Development] lollyjay:
1 very fast

2 wakes from sleep on AC charger

3 wakes from sleep w/o charger

4 still has Bluetooth battery problem posted earlier

5 n doesn't always wake but volume does

Edit: Bluetooth problem went away when I deactivated the equalizer app.

bluetooth shows a runtime of over 49 days for me, so it seems to be a display error and not the actual power consumption.

Which do you recommend, or is it a try one at a time deal.

Also I changed the window, transition and animator scale times from 1x to .5x under developer options in settings and it does make it feel a little snappier.

I can't download any Kindle books from the Kindle app. It says "Download Interrupted". I have checked and I do not have too many devices registered. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] bigrat:
you probably wiped your android_secure directory. reinstall and re-register the Kindle app.
[Nook Color Android Development] boyoboyo:
Same here. Cleaning battery stats is what you need.

Did you wipe prior update?
[Nook Color Android Development] guv.:
I came from b2 and only wiped cache/dalvik cache.
[Nook Color Android Development] can80an:
Yep, wiping battery stats cleaned it up ... thanks for the tip.
[Nook Color Android Development] Srdondo:
I did a clean install and it's been working great so far. No issues...yet.

UPDATE: Latest version of Netflix doesn't work, but Netflix 1.8 does, and that's fine. That's about it though. No SOD's, no booting issues, not sluggish. Pretty good stuff.

Ah man! No extra love in the Beta 4 update ? D:

jk. These updates are great! I noticed some really nice fluidity improvements in beta 2 from Alpha 1. I can't wait to see what's in Beta 4. My nook just got out of recovery and is booting for the very first time on Beta 4. So far, I haven't received any errors or problems in cm10 installations. Anyways, it looks like the devs have ironed out most of the bugs in the NC builds. I'm looking forward to getting more features like OTG support, OC, and possibly the ability to process voice input via Bluetooth. Great job so far guys!
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Feels snappier than B3. But it might be just wiped Dalvik cache, plus max zRam use, plus 16bit transparency.

No Adobe Flash player support still....((( so no Vimeo, no Veetle, no....
[Nook Color Android Development] unicyclingEMT:
Great work on the ROM, I've been switching between this and my own builds (thanks for the guide) and this is great. Can I just make one suggestion about the OP? When you post a new Beta, please include the date in the change log, This way when you mention the CM10 upstream fixes that are included, we know as of when and don't try to figure out why a new commit isn't working.

Thanks,

Anybody else having permission problems with B4? I could not get write permission to anything (even the sdcard) until I went to recovery and fixed permissions. This was both on emmc and SD installs.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Done for each of the betas. (The individual commits are dated in the repos, of course). Thanks for the suggestion.
[Nook Color Android Development] Tschumi:
I 'm still having problems using CM10.I'm doing the full /data/factory reset/dalvik/cache wipe, Installs fine but when I use applications that try to write to the SD (pulse, mantano reader etc) the sdcard becomes read-only and the apps force close.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Usually the SD becoming read-only like that is the result of corruption on the SD card. Do you have a way of repairing or reformatting it?
[Nook Color Android Development] disynthetic:

[Nook Color Android Development] Tschumi:
Yes. Tried that, but happened again. This also occurs with all the 2-3 sd cards I used.
[Nook Color Android Development] dparrothead1:
I always run "fix permissions" as a step when I flash. I know it's not necessary, but it's something I have always done.:D
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Nope, I got a clean emmc install over b3. B3 tablet UI seems to work fine.

i have installed cm 10 on sd card..intially the perfomance was good....but now it is very slow...was is the reason...will the perfomance improve if i install on emmc...any tips on how to improve perfomance..i have set the cpu to 300-1000, governor to ON DEMAND...any other tweaks plz...
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
I am having real good performance on B3/B4 using the BFQ scheduler and my battery life improved too. No lag. And yes, EMCC should outperform SD install.

I have also uninstalled stuff I don't need. You might want to remove QuickSearchBox.apk (Google Now).
[Nook Color Android Development] mlovesu:
which sd card are you using.. i m using sandisk class 4 8gb card....
[Nook Color Android Development] no_cannabis:
Dude, in IT world - not necessarily ;) But THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I was having same the problem. The only way I could get it working was to boot to recovery and fix permissions.

This happened to me with absolutely clean installs of B4 on emmc using different SDs and on two different Nooks.
[Nook Color Android Development] no_cannabis:
Confirmed - B4 Bluetooth sound WORKS!

Overall B4 seems very stable. I still have one issue to ask you guys about. The screen rotation is painfully slow. Can anything be done in this department?

EDIT: Oh, while writing the message my NC switched off the screen, and with it gone the BT connection :(
[Nook Color Android Development] 1800collect:
I did that and it seems to have fixed.

I got a PM that suggested the following as well not sure if it will work for anyone else:

Do you have DSP manager uninstalled or frozen? I was having the same issues on b2 and thawing out DSP fixed it for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] no_cannabis:
Up until three months ago I didn't know about wiping system either, and kept wondering "How come everyone says bluetooth works, but whatever nightly or stable I flash, mine never works?" Then I found that flashing a new ROM doesn't necessarily mean that your old drivers are gone, hence system partition needs to be wiped out as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] krylon360:
you mean DSPManager? or do you have a 3rd party app installed?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Your system is wiped as part of a ROM flash. The only difference between doing it yourself and having the ROM do it, is the ROM installer backs up a few things first (like gapps) and restores them after putting it's new system files there. So if you do it, you have to reflash gapps and if you let the ROM do it, gapps are still there. But if you were having problems with gapps, you still would have those problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] lollyjay:
I froze DSP manager because I installed Equalizer app.
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
Wow.. step away from the Nook forums for a year or so and look what crops up! Just installed TWRP and CM10 (b4)... very nice! Look forward to getting OC back though, this thing is molasses compared to my One X.

Thanks for the work devs!
[Nook Color Android Development] grayfoxmg1:
is twrp better to use on the Nook? I know it is preferred on the One X, but I've always used CWM on my nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] no_cannabis:
Excuse me, but where in my post you saw I had problems with gapps? I was talking about Bluetooth hardware problems, and that is what wiping system manually helped me resolve. I found solution in official CM forums, right beside the explanations about repartitioning NC's storage. So based on that infor, and my own experience you're, ahmm, incorrect? Or possibly not entirely, because as far as I remember, what you explain was exactly the root cause of BT problems - CWM backed up something it was not supposed to, and restored it back after flashing a brand new ROM version. If you look at some old CM7 flashing instructions, they tell you explicitly to format system manually.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

I recently started using it, and I just love it. Super convenient, and no dealing with my half-broken volume keys any longer.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I did not say you were having gapps problems. I was using that as an example. I said it backs up some things like gapps. It also backs up a few other items. Your Bluetooth may have been part of that. I was just trying to explain how it works. And I did not say you should not do it. I just wanted folks to understand how it works. By all means if you are having problems an ordinary flash will not fix, manually wipe system. It just means you have to reinstall gapps.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Single core 1ghz cpu with 512mb ram vs 1.5ghz dual-core snapdragon or quad core tegra 3 with 1gb ram.....

Either way, please ensure in cm performance settings under the cpu clock it's set to 300/1000 - still seems to be a lingering bug affecting some users where it's capping at 600 on first boot.

Got the Birthday e-mail and then the B4 announcement.

Happy birthday to me

I was running B3

but now I have more

I'm running B4.

Just keeps getting better and better. Smooth, solid, runs great. No hiccups, no problems, Youtube, netflix, Wow and it's only a Beta.

Using Nova Launcher, Volume booster, Rom tool box SD boost to 4096, Tasker to monitor wifi on and of and screen of when inactive. All works fine.

Even fast after cleaning up unused Files.

I'm installed on EMCC.

Beta 4 is running very, very well. Made sure my voltages were at 300/1000, ZRam is at default 18% with BFQ scheduler. I removed a bunch of stuff I don't use like Google Now, wallpapers, ringtones, fonts, live wallpapers, non-English languages, Trebuchet, Apollo, etc to lighten the load. Using Apex Launcher and the Tablet UI.

I began my Android life with a G1 and ran it for 3 years. I learned a lot about squeezing every drop of RAM out of an underpowered device.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
And the one core we do have is about 2/3 as powerful per MHz as a Krait core and has other inefficiencies too. It's amazing that it runs as well as it does, thanks to these dedicated developers!
[Nook Color Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone else have Super K.O. Boxing 2 installed? I'm having it crash on load for me, so I'm trying to see if it's just me or the rom... I have the latest version (beta 4) installed. Am about to wipe and do clean install, then see if problem is still there. Will update this post to reflect results.

EDIT: Updating this post as promised. Would have posted sooner but was at parents and using their painfully slow DSL connection.

Did clean install of beta 4, formating data, cache, and system. Then installed rom +gapps. Once the system had finished restoring all my apps and I had edited the vold.fstab to my liking it tried the app again and after waiting for openfeint to do its thing was able to play the game fine.

I understand now why the developers insist on a fresh install before making a bug report. I'll try to do it right from now on.
[Nook Color Android Development] 1800collect:
I just started at Beta 3. I noticed on both B3 and B4 if you try to use a third party keyboard they have options along the lines of "Enable Keyboard Name" and it attempts to open up settings. Settings constantly crashed when it tries to open with this error: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

This happens on both SwiftKey and Keymonk. The way around it is going to settings manually and turning on the keyboard. So it isn't much of a bug.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigrat:
I will say that the battery on mine drains really fast when asleep. This is on b3. I'll flash to b4 later today. I had roughly 1/2 battery available last night around 11PM, and found the thing dead around 12:45PM today. Wireless was off.

Stock b3, no mods or tweaks.
[Nook Color Android Development] DublinLarry:
Noticed the same setting up thumb keyboard.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I got SwiftKey 3 to install after going to Settings\Language & input\, then unchecked Google voice typing, and touched the setting button next to the SwiftKey. I had to attempt this a couple of times and then it Enabled SwiftKey 3. That was in B3.

I've also seen the bug where trying to set keyboard from within Thumb Keyboard crashes settings, but if you go to settings directly you can set the keyboard. Only other issue is that waking with N is still random. Otherwise, super smooth and impressive as can be. Daily driver (Mirage) is still on emmc but I haven't booted into it since Beta 2 came out.

Thanks Devs!

Work has been absolutely nuts so I haven't done the hardware survey but I am running an SD install of B3 and I have installed each beta clean from scratch.

Working Netflix is 1.8.1 from waaaay upthread. I found it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29514378&postcount=5

[Nook Color Android Development] 1800collect:
I did a clean wipe for B4 as well but have the problem persist.
[Nook Color Android Development] krylon360:
is because settings is actually called com.cyanogenmod.settings.device.DeviceSettings

the keyboard apps are looking for the stock settings name. not the CMSettings.
[Nook Color Android Development] 1800collect:
Just to be clear this is a CM bug not any of my doing? Sounds like CM could look for a call of settings and redirect to their settings.

This room has been great by the way. Way better than ICS was on the Nook and were still in beta!!
[Nook Color Android Development] andtron:
This B4 is the best release yet, no more SOD and the power actually works and I have to use the vol up/down key before.

Anybody has the problem on Settings->Google to turn on the sync? The icon will spin for a few seconds but it won't keep the Sync on on the account.

It may also sound silly, I found out a lot of the so called sluggishness may due to the dirty display. Dipped the piece of tissue paper with water and clean the display, it helps quite a bit.
[Nook Color Android Development] DublinLarry:
Daily Driver time...

After keeping CM10 as my "playing around rom" since B1, in 3 more short beta's (and an election), I've reached the "Daily Driver" point. Only way to get to the more minor stuff will be to use it all day, every day.

INCREDIBLE guys. Who thought this little thing called Nook would have this much life left in it.

This also proves how inept the major carriers are with rolling out JB to more current devices. A bunch of guys (gals?) and probably a lot of Redbull and/or Jameson manages to get what I'll call a "stable"(ish) version out on 2+ year old hardware.

:good:

Notification drawer customize?

I'm not sure if my problem is related to betas but will ask here anyway.

The notification drawer is not customizable in any way - it always has a default view (Airplane mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc). Any changes made in Settings -> Notification drawer have no effect. I'm on b4 + Tablet UI + Nova launcher but the issue is there since I've started with CM10 b2.

"Power control" widget with 5 buttons is not customizable as well. In CM7 I was able to remove buttons I'm not using but not in CM10.

Is all this by design or beta issues or somehow my bad luck? :cowboy:

In general b3 and b4 are very stable, except small things described above no issues to report. Thanks devs, great job!
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Is anyone using Chrome with these CM10 builds? For me, it's so laggy as to be unusable. I'm at 1Ghz and have tried various governor and scheduler settings with little change.

Yes, I'm aware that there are other browsers that don't have this problem. I'm more interested in hearing whether there are any tricks to get Chrome working better.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Yes, I'm interested too, even if it was clearly shown that on all other CM10/Android 4.1.2 devices Chrome is a buggy resource hog. With my Nookie, it simply hangs on start, and I never had patience to see what I can do with it in 5 minutes of waiting.

Also, nobody I know can use Adobe Flash player across A1, B1...B4. Is any of our Distiguished Developers working on it? I'd be passing on Chrome for Nook Color for quite long time: my Nookie would be long dead when a more or less workable version of Chrome for OMAP3 devices will show up, if ever. I suggest using Opera Mobile, it has HW compositing and rendering like no other browser out there. It just needs Flash plugin where a given Web site demands it.

---------------------------------

http://fineoils.blogspot.com
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Unfortunately chrome is a resource hog, and we simply don't have the resources. Chrome is only available for devices on 4.0+ so really those devices that shipped with, or OTA'd to 4.0+ should run it well, and clearly that isn't even the case on powerful devices. Not sure how much we can do about that.

I'm not sure I understand why people are surprised that flash doesn't work. Flash support was completely dropped in jellybean, if you can sideload an old apk and make it work, then go for it but otherwise I don't see it happening especially as the OS evolves. I won't speak for anyone else but I certainly have no interest in spending time on it since it seems like a losing battle as the OS just doesn't support it.

I am able to run flash in Opera Mobile in B4. The videos work fine. I sideloaded FlashPlayer (11.1.115.12) and installed Opera Mobile Labs 12. It plays flash just fine. But I also run at 240 dpi too and I don't know if that makes a difference. I have seen some threads that tell you how to do this on other CM10 devices, but works for me with no problems just doing what I said.

EDIT: Just switched back to 160 dpi and still works fine.

EDIT 2: Just updated to the latest Opera Mobile (12.1.1) on Play Store and that works too.

how to fix permissions when installed on sd card???
[Nook Color Android Development] krylon360:
flash isn't supported by JB, so it isn't a priority to get it working.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
You have to go to my tips thread linked in my signature and read item B5 in the second post of that thread. It discusses an Alternate CWM that I modified to be used on SD installs. It can be used for many things on the SD, including fixing permissions. But it CANNOT be used for flashing ROMs to SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Oh, thank you, leapinlar! My checklist is:

-- Opera Mobile Version 12.10. ADR-1210241511 (I understand it being for both ICS and JB, so I don't believe the difference in versions 12 and 12.10 could be critical, but who knows)

-- Flash Player 11.1.111.16-android2+.apk (here I might downgrade to 11.1)

What I did was simply sideload an Adobe Flash player .apk and simply start it. It sorta installs, but then it just hangs on Adobe settings web page. Then, Flash Player is in my list of apps like nothing happened but no Veetle, no Vimeo, etc. What is your indication that you deal with Flash content instead of HTML5 one? I understand that lack of Flash on YouTube clips brings video to the YouTube apk instead of playing it inline. I might be wrong, or, again, having a wrong, too upgraded Opera mobile version.

Please give me some details.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

I know that. I also know about successful Flash installations on Nexus 7 running either stock JB or whatever ("custom") CM10. Sure, it looks it just runs out of memory, even for load itself for a little Flash window to check default settings.
