Just so I'm clear, when you hold down the power button (for like 8 seconds) to turn it off and then restart while holding the N button, your Nook doesn't reboot back into Cyanoboot? If you can get to there, you should be able to use the menu to get to recovery and reflash.
[Nook Color Android Development] MechaGen:
Check your Gapps again. That exact problem happens when you flash the 4.2 gapps.

Sent from G-Note
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
That is the right combo. I'd suspect a corrupted download or flash. I would probably just redownload both, wipe everything and reflash.
[Nook Color Android Development] trsanning:
Since you just installed clockworks it probable didn't flash correctly so your recovery is trashed. You will need to create a new SD bootable recovery
[Nook Color Android Development] timmyjoe42:
Right, but when I hold down the n and power, it gets stuck at "Booting into recovery". If I don't hold down the n, it just hangs during boot at the Cyanoboot screen saying "Loading bootloader".

I think a new bootable sd card is the way to go.

Hello there,

I've recently replaced MiRaGe's CM7 with CM10; I've installed a nightly build from December 26th (I think) on EMMC.

Everything seems to work well but I experience frequent SD card corruptions. I've tried two different SD cards but both ended up corrupted after a while.

I had no problems with these cards under CM7. Do you guys have some idea what could cause it?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
CM10 is sometimes finicky with SD cards. Make sure it is formatted properly with SDFormatter (free on web). If that does not fix it, get a different card (SanDisk class 4).

I've wiped/flashed three different times

First I tried 1/3 nightly with 4.2 gapps, then tried 12/31 with 4.2 gapps, then 12/31 with 4.1 gapps. All combinations worked fine except the keyboard.

I would wipe, flash the ROM, flash gapps, then boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] kkt12:
Thanks! I was skeptical, but using this has definitely improved Netflix and the stock browser, which were pretty much the only things my NC was really struggling with. I recommend trying it.

You are probably right...only other thought is if you flashed CW recovery successfully, I assume you flashed to EMCC. Be sure you are choosing internal recovery from the Cyanoboot menu.

The recent Jan 4 build is pretty good. So far all is stable too with little to no lag. Testing games like beach buggy blitz has full speed performance :) . I've only had one force reboot, but I think that was caused by the seeder that was mentioned previously. But the seeder does show slightly better performance even after running several apps.

Thanks Devs, can't wait until overclocking goes higher :)

[Nook Color Android Development] speedfreak007:
how did you get buggy blitz at full performance? which settings do you use? I'm at 1,1 GHz, ondemand governor and the resolution at the lowest in the game itself and it does not run very fluid
[Nook Color Android Development] jekagan:
Definite improvement

Interestingly, after installing this I am able to use Swype again, although it is still somewhat glitchy. Overall the performance is definitely less laggy.

There is a healthy debate going on over why this may be. Those interested in kernel stuff should check it out:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265#c91

Of particular interest is a reference to a (somewhat) recent kernel patch:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1745611/

Nevertheless, I am liking the boost from this Seeder app and will likely continue to use it until a better or more fundamental fix comes along.

Testing the Seeder

Testing the seeder.

I have test the functionality of the seeder program in the best way I know how. Running programs and my nook and timing operational time with a stop watch. Then repeat the process several times, compile and run standard deviation formulas on the results. I have run the various programs in the same order both with and without the seeker app running. Each test was preceded with an app kill. This way each test started fron the same state.

Here are some of my results. Wos=without seeder, Ws=with seeder.

Boot up time from power off to filled in to fully populated home screen.

Wos - 130-140 sec. Ws - 115-125 sec.

Time to connect to wifi (wpa2). Wos - 11-12 sec. Ws - 9-10 sec.

start dolphin browser beta. Wos - 10-12 sec. Ws - 8-10 sec.

Exit dolphin to home screen. Wos - 1-3 sec. Ws - 0-1 sec.

Start Google play. Wos - 5-6 sec. Ws - 4-5 sec.

Start youtube. Wos - 4-5 sec. Ws - 3-4 sec.

Start netflix. Wos - 24-26 sec. Ws - 19-21 sec.

I don't pretend to understand what or why the app works but feel the data prove that with the seeder running my Nook Color CM10 runs faster. 25 - 30% faster. I also ran a Youtube Video with and without the seeder. Without the seeder it stopped every 30 - 40 secs while the little arrow went round and round for 10-15 sec. With the seeder on and running the same video it stopped at 2-3 minutes for 6-10 sec.

Not just a feeling that it's faster, it really is faster. I'll let the brains figure out the how and why. I'm just happy with faster.

In the interests of science, my curiosity or the greater good would you be willing to re-run your stats after making the following mod:

From the terminal, issue:

su

mount -o remount,rw /

cd /dev

mv random xrandom; ln urandom random

ls *random

mount -o remount,ro /

This has the effect of making random and urandom both access the same device. xrandom points to the original random.

To reverse the process replace the mv line with:

mv xrandom random

I would expect Wos to be as good or better than Ws.

Thanks

I'm using 10% zram, cfq isn't bad either. I'm also using 1.1ghz with interactive governor, but to keep things snappy I put the minimum at freq at 600 or 800 MHz. I use max resolution for buggy blitz, and I'm running 16 bit transparency.

But I've learned not to put the CPU governor on performance because it caused slight lagg throughout the system after HEAVY testing.

Will try in a couple of days

Will post results.
[Nook Color Android Development] propjockey:
I believe the cm script should wipe system before installing, but did you try to wipe system as well then install cm and the 4.1 gapps. Maybe some of the wrong gapps were persisting between installs.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, if you installed the wrong gapps you definitely have to manually wipe /system to get rid of them. The format command that is in the install script saves your gapps before it formats and restores them afterwards. So they stay.

[Nook Color Android Development] danformer:
I found a bug which seems to cause lagg. I've been doing so testing with CPU frequencies, and it seems that the system tends to sometimes lock the CPU frequency. Most commonly it locks on 1ghz or 1.1ghz. When this happens the UI and games become a bit laggy. It seems as if those frequencies become unstable when under pressure too much.

I'll continue to do more testing and give a later update .

(When I said CPU was locked, you couldn't change to a lower frequency even if you set the max to 300mhz)
[Nook Color Android Development] Mr-Glass:
I have noticed the same thing with it taking a total hit on battery.. I had to switch from one IO Scheduler to another and change the maximum down to 800 before returning to my previous settings - I am not sure what exactly caused it - I originally flashed a nightly over it when it started to no avail.. First time I have noticed this was with the Nightlies since 1/1/13, and I have been running CM since the beta version ions ago..

I'm currently running 20130105.

SOD's seem to be pretty bad with all the nightlys after 20130102, I used to only get them when charging, but now get them regularly after the unit has been in standby for 15 or more minutes. I tried setting the Nook's WiFi timeout to 5 minute, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

As others have mentioned - the new positioning of the notification deletion button in really inconvenient, it was perfect before, now is impossible for me to select without selecting the settings button.
[Nook Color Android Development] Lakland:
Yep that icon in there is not good. Regarding the sod, i am not having that issues in standby. Maybe i have different hardware. I am running 20130105 and all good. Hope you fix all those issues:)
[Nook Color Android Development] meteorrock:
Got the same issue here with the notification icon in CM 10 201310104 . The icon is now crushed up against the setting icon in that pull down menu for the notifications. Did a dirty update up to that nighly from before.

ZRam seems to be working for me on this nightly. Seems to give a small performance boost compared to having it disabled. Before it seemed to lag my builds back in December. Could be a placebo effect though, does not seem to cause lag though having it enabled now.

These newer nightlies seem more snappy now also. Less on the little lag hangs now using web browsers and getting into settings for me. There is still some slight little lags sometimes, just not as dramatic as before and less often now.

Yeah the clear icon there is a PITA to hit, what was the reason for moving it there again? Regarding SOD, I havent got any lately but funny thing is, my other NC running CM 7.2 is starting to get a lot of that nowaday. If you are getting SOD, do a full wipe to see if it helps. BTW, snappiest launcher to date seems to be Holo launcher, try it out.

I suspect it's a bug.
[Nook Color Android Development] timmyjoe42:
OK, I'm back with my problem of being stuck in the Cyanogen bootloader,

I made a CWM bootable sd card and put it in, but the nook is now dead. I had it on the real charger last night (with the orange light eventually turning to green) and brought it in to work to finish fixing this up. (I left the official cable and charger at home because I thought the battery was full, but it's dead.) I thought I could use my phone charger to give it some juice while I set it up again, but nope. Do I need the official charger to resurrect this thing, or is it now totally dead because I can't boot it and it needs to boot to charge...?
[Nook Color Android Development] deboyz1014:
If it turns green then its full charge already, unless your battery is hosed then there is nothing you can do about that. One of my nook is finicky in that if I have SOD, I have to hold down the power button for about 20 secs, let go then hold down power button again for 20 secs then let go. Sometime it will boot up on second try and sometime the third. Give it a shot and see if that will do anything.
[Nook Color Android Development] BluPhant:
So I'm helping out a friends kid and was trying out CM10 on his nook color. Used a recent nightly. Was just about to call him to come get it when I got SOD this morning. So I'm thinking I'll just throw CM7 on it. I like Cyanoboot tho; how would I go about installing CM7 on this & leave Cyanoboot in place? Is that possible?

Thanks in advance for help, and I appreciate all the hard work making CM10 & all the toys possible.

-Blu
[Nook Color Android Development] timmyjoe42:
Thanks this helped. Apparently my phone charger was just charging it very slowly so it took awhile to power on. I'm back in business with CM10, but like the previous post, I think I will be better off with CM7. Between the SODs and the screen sensitivity seems to have dropped off that when I tap icons nothing happens unless I tap them several times.

I may just go back to a rooted stock to see if the performance on this thing brings it back to something usable.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
FWIW, I am still on the 12/17/2012 nightlie.

No SOD's

, some lag now and then when apps are starting, such as the Opera browser, which might be related to the wifi speed; and the Nook app, which really lags on opening up a book from it's 'Home' screen. And I can tolerate/manage the slightly increased battery drain over stock.

Both CM10 and stock B&N/rooted w/Manualnooter reside on and boot from emmc partitions.
[Nook Color Android Development] danformer:
From what I know, as long as the screen has some indication of turning on you should be able to use an SD bootable. Did anything happen before it just went dead?

I ended up going installing stock cm7. And was summarily disappointed by what it was... having been spoiled by CM10 on my phone for so long. So I looked around the forum and decided to try out the mirage release, and thats what Ive left it on. Cyanoboot (among other tweaks) already included, and it seems to me that it deals with the soft-keys better.

I hope that development & this project continue for some time to come, as the CM10 is soooo close to being usable by the non-techie masses.

If you are talking about the menu in settings and about tablet, that is only for putting a new version of CM10 over the existing version. That is not for CM7. You can flash CM7 over CM10 with your internal recovery from an SD, but you must wipe data/factory reset first.

I'm very pleased to report that I've been running the 12/31 nightly (the 2nd one) since 1/1 without any SODs. No SODs is a first for me on CM10 (I have one of the more-troublesome ES1.1 devices). I did a totally clean install after a full wipe. My NC sleeps all night and at varying times through the day. I kept the governor and I/O at stock (ondemand and CFQ); don't know if that has made any difference or not. 1100 overclock. No lag for what I use the NC for (web, videos, some light games); no problems other than a missed touch now and then. Very good battery life.
