I did format system before I wiped data and cache, thanks. Seems super laggy. I thought I saw somewhere abut changing the I/O? I see the option in the system menu. Should I change it, and to what?
[Nook Color General] kmz75:
Try BFQ. I also changed the CPU Governor to Interactive (default is Ondemand), and made sure the max CPU was 1000, not 600. I'm also using Kernel Samepage Merging, but I don't know how much that's actually buying me, if anything.
[Nook Color General] 1800collect:
Thanks for the tip! Trying it out. It has made the home screen a bit more responsive. I think Netflix improved a tad, but I am still getting no clicks at times. It's hard to tell.
[Nook Color General] aeidian:
Switched to BFQ, response increase is marginal. Already set to 1000 and interactive. I think its just the 1000 whereas I was on 1200 with cm7. Guess I'll wait it out.

Touchscreen keyboard hypersensitive?

Tried out Beta 4 of CM10 after a full wipe and clean install. My touchscreen keyboard was so sensitive, I could hardly type in my google account information because of getting double keypresses and such. I'm been using CM7 for many months now and never a problem. Anyone else have this issue? I had to go back to CM7 MROM because of the keyboard issues. I even installed swiftkey and still the same response.
[Nook Color General] aeidian:
Did you format system in clockworkmod recovery before flashing the zip? Others have said going from cm7 to cm10 to do that as well as wipe data/cache.
[Nook Color General] gacole:
Yep, did a full system, cache, Davlik and battery from CWM recovery.

Kudos on Beta 5! Thanx developers!

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Hrm, I've been reading that most (as well as myself) have had the opposite in responsiveness. Release notes state that touch sensitivity has been increased in Beta 5.
[Nook Color General] gacole:
Just tried a full wipe again and loaded CM10 Beta 5 and had the same issues. No screen protector in place or anything like that. I tested it for a bit and typing on the touchscreen would generate other keypresses, automatically. For instance, I pressed "y" and got a double input of both "y" and "e", so it is not even adjacent letters. Back to CM7 again, not issues there. The serial on my nook starts with 2011 if that makes any difference.
[Nook Color General] monk1210:
Mine starts with 2011 as well. May want to head over to the developers thread and see if anyone else has been having a similar issue to yours. Wish I had an answer. Hope it gets worked out soon.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Go to play store and install the free 'Nook Color screen recalibration' app.
[Nook Color General] gacole:
I think I am all straight now. I went back to my nandroid of cm7 MROM and the keyboard was now really flaky in that too! I had already tried the Nook screen recalibrate tool under CM10 and didn't have any success, but I did install it under CM7 and that fixed the keyboard weirdness in my original setup. Then I made a new SD of Beta 5 and everything works fine now. Maybe that tool didn't work properly for me under CM10, who knows. But now that the keyboard is functional in both for me now, I'm off to take Beta 5 for a test drive. Thanks for the help

slow

Like a couple of posters in the dev thread I am finding CM10 slow and often unresponsive for 1-10s at a time. I have tried B2 and B5. They work, but it's like the CPU is maxed out doing something else. It's particularly bad in chrome and dolphin web browsers, where clicking links is hard due to being unresponsive. Nenamark gives me 10.6 if that's any indication.

I did full wipes, including all apps on the SDcard.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I'd rate this as not really usable but since others are finding it good there must be something I can tweak of fix?
[Nook Color General] sandnap:
Excellent work on this developers! :good: I honestly didn't think anything above CM7 would ever work well enough for me to consider it a daily driver. I am very impressed with the battery life and performance. I agree that in some situations it is not as responsive as an optimized CM7 build but the trade off is well worth it to me.
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
i was getting the sluggishness that others are reporting...then i downloaded and installed System Tuner and changed my OOM to Aggressive and my Sysctl tweaks to the recommended settings....it's running rather smooth now

my only issues that i seem to be having, and this has been with all of the betas that i have tested...is that to get it to wake up i have to press the power button and then the N...the power button by itself does nothing, and the N does nothing...

side note/question....anyone have any advice on a preferred Launcher...

i have Apex pro for my phone and i am trying it out on the NC, but it doesn't seem as awesome as it does on my phone....anyone have any advice on that?
[Nook Color General] k8108:
Apex launcher didn't work at all for me. Nova has been suggested several times. I am satisfied with the results using it (nova launcher).

Developer Option?

I got CM10 beta5 running on sd card. Seams to be running ok but can't figure out how to enable developer optons?

I found where they show how to go into settings about device and tap on it and it opens it up but not working for me.
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
the top right corner of Developer Options there is a toggle switch to turn it on or off..i wasn't expecting that to be there either...took me a couple minutes to find it when i first went to Developer options and clicked randomly around the screen :P

Slow/unresponsive fix

Thanks to several people on these forums I now have the Nook color running CM10 fairly responsively, to the point where it doesn't feel all that different to the Nexus7. Huge kudos to the devs on that!

I hope these steps can help others get theirs in the same state. I am using EMMC boot. YMMV so do a backup first.

Firstly, I was having trouble with FC and really bad performance, I traced the issue to something installed on the SDcard (didn't happen if booting with SDcard removed), so I wiped the SDcard, problem fixed.

When installing via clockworkmod (3.2.0.1), I wiped data (aka factory reset), wiped cache partition, (under advanced) wiped dalvik cache. I did not do fix permissions but some suggest that also helped them, pretty sure you need to do that after install though and I've not gotten around to a reboot yet)

1. Settings->performance->interactive

This seems to be the biggest improvement overall. I am wildly speculating that the nook is too laggy at adjusting clock speed in 'on demand' and that is where a fair bit of the sluggishness comes from. I did run with 'Performance' for a while and that is better, and interstingly I didn't find the battery life too bad at all really, so that could be an option for some (I do turn off wifi when not using and that helps heaps with battery).

2. Settings->Performance->I/O scheduler->BFQ (YMMV but worth playing with)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22134559&postcount=4

3. System Tuner app from the Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw

Tweaks->Sysctl->Recommended

OOM (scroll right past memory top line)->Presets->aggressive

I'm on the Nov13 build atm, not feeling like I need to try any later nightly but I might for interest.
[Nook Color General] lynnji:
Thanks! This improved my speed quite a bit, no lagging now.
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Thanks, this did seem to help some. It's still slow as hell and I'll never mistake this for a Nexus 7 (not expected to of course either). But it's somewhat functional. Unfortunately I don't think this will be much more than just for giggles though, the performance just doesn't make it practical.
[Nook Color General] ibilln:
On 11/17 build. Quite nice with your tweaks.
[Nook Color General] davidr415:
I also noticed an improvement (significant) but it seems to come at some cost.. I lost 3% batt in 5 hours sleeping with wi-fi off.. prior to tweaks, I would have gone 12 hrs with 0-1% loss. I'll observe for awhile. It may have just been an anomaly..
[Nook Color General] lollyjay:
Certainly not a problem with my setup, also with the tweaks.

If you want to watch Amazon videos you need to sideload Flash. Install the Amazon apk. Temporary unroot. Sign in to Amazon Prime. Another way is to use a flash enabled browser and log in through the Amazon website.. These are the two ways I know. Otherwise wait for Amazon to convert to HTML5.

2. The home button (soft and hardware) do not work, I need to "back" out of any apps to get to the home screen.

3. Turning the screen back on sometimes won't work, it just very very dimly shows what I was doing before I turned off the screen.

SD install

I figured I would ask in this thread first. I installed CM10 to my 16GB class4 microSD card (recommended elsewhere on XDA), and find it overly slow. Is this just a problem with running off the microSD card, or is CM10 pretty slow in general?

I'm basically ready to update the internal memory to CM10, if I knew it would work better. I just want to make sure it's a problem with the installation location, not the CM10 image.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Depends on the brand of SD. SanDisk should be fine with no difference. Pny will be horrible. But there is nothing inherently wrong with CM10. It should run fine on emmc and the right card.

Sound Problems

I was hoping CM 10 would allow me to resurrect the Nook Color for use with my mp3s generously stored in Google's Play-Music cloud.

Althugh I've ramped up the processor to 1100MHz max; 800MHz min, and tried all the I/O scheduler settings, whatever I do I still get the occasional buffering stutter of around half a second every now and then.

This problem has always been with my Nook what ever Android version has been on it.

Anyone know a cure?
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
Trying to isolate the cause:

1. Does it stutter with the file stored locally, or only when streaming?

2. Do you have the same trouble streaming from the Google Play cloud to other devices (e.g. over wifi)?

3. Have you tried a minimal install with ONLY streaming from the Google cloud?

4. Does it stutter the same way using other cloud services (e.g. Pandora, Amazon MP3)?
[Nook Color General] croques:
Yes, Both local and remote files have same issues. I've always assumed it was an OS software bottleneck but don't remember seeing other Nookers complain.

Nexus 7 works without problem but I'd like to keep that as an everyday tablet.

Not expressly, but there is little else on the device and certainly nothing large running. I suppose I could hook it up to Eclipse and monitor what's going on. I didn't want to get that anal.

Answer to 1 sort of precludes no.

I'm having some issues with CM10 Nightly 11/30 ... I couldn't get 12/01 to boot so I went back a day and it seems to be running fine after a full wipe, but external SD card access is all screwy... it's only a little 2GB card, formatted FAT32. System settings > Storage shows the card fine and the correct amount of free space. When I load it up in a file manager (I've tried 3 different ones) I can see /storage/sdcard1 and /sdcard and view the files in there with no problem, but I can't write to the SD card. I try making a folder, and then when I try to go into the folder, it says it doesn't exist. If I try to download something with a browser, it MAY save to the SD card, but I can't read the file back later. If I try to use a file manager to delete a file, I get a bunch of files in every directory with random garbage character names. Any ideas?

hey-ooo!

i'm trying to upgrade my daughters nook color from cm7 to cm10. everything installs fantastically. no hangups, nothing but for some reason the nook will not connect to my wifi. i had no issues with this in cm7, does anyone have any suggestions?
[Nook Color General] Nabby2012:
Are you using a Nightly build? Are you connecting to your own home router which you have access to? (I ask because I used to live in an apartment complex that provided WiFi for everyone). Do you have MAC address filtering on on your router, or more than one Nook running CM10? I have several devices on CM7, and I don't know for sure about the Nook, but with my phones it spoofed the MAC address on them to a preset value, so having two of the same phone (one for me, one for my girlfriend) both running the same CM7 both show the same MAC address, so they can't both use the WiFi at the same time.

JB

Going from nightly 20121122 to 20121205.

Aside from some device initiated reboots that occurred during app installs, everything seemed to work well. (Bogged down as time went by and more apps were added.)

No SOD issues here.

Have had some wifi trouble at work, where it will not connect to one network there, and before switching to JB nightly 20121122, CM7 was doing the same. (Have it as ALTboot.)

Have tried leapinlar's partition format tool just in case for some reason the wifi issue was somehow transferred to the PRIboot when shuffling things around. (Previously with CM9 ICS on the PRIboot, I could connect to both wifi networks at work, while with CM7 on ALT it would only connect to one.)

Will see what happens with a fresh install of the latest nightly and a partition format...

Thanks to all who have provided plenty of reading material on this forum over the past year.

Increase Headphone Volume?

Hi there!

Has anyone found a way to increase the headphone output volume? I mostly use my NC to watch Netflix, and the volume is just too low for my MP3 dock thing. Under CM7-Mirage w/ Nook Color Tweaks, I can crank the volume way up. But Nook Color Tweaks doesn't work for CM9 and CM10 (and according to the description in the Market, it never will).

I seem to recall a comment by one of the Devs that they're considering adding in some of the Tweaks functionality, but I can't find the comment.

I tried a few speaker boosting apps (such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost), but none seemed to do anything.

SD Card not found?

After flashing the CM10 nightly everything seemed great but then I realized that I was unable to download anything and when I tried to view images it said "No sd card available". So I went to storage and made sure they were mounted and sure enough. Went to the file manager and was able to browse and see that I had /sdcard0 and /sdcard1 available with plenty of space. So is this a bug or am I missing something? I tried flashing previous nightlies too.

Status bar location tweaking?

Hi!

I just installed latest nighties 2012-12-15 - switched from CM7.2.

So here simple question: how can I put status bar at the bottom, in the same line where soft buttons are?

I tried Holo HD - thought it's in launcher settings... Didn't find.

And soft buttons are right in the middle - I like CM7 layout - soft buttons on the left, status icons on the right (bottom).

Simple fix but I can't find it...

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Cm10 come with three interfaces. Phone interface for small devices, tablet interface for large devices (which is the one you are asking for) and a phablet interface for 7" devices like the nook color. There are two things you can do to get the tablet GUI on the nook. First option is to go to mateorod's tablet thread to add the tablet GUI. It tells you how to run his autopatcher to patch the ROM so it shows it. The second option is to install his Paranoid Android version of CM10. It is in the dev forum. It allows you to set the interface as you please.

Thanks, leapinlar!

Simple and informative answer!!!
[Nook Color General] bluepen61:
I thought I would comment on CM 10 (12/16) vs. B&N 1.4.3/Rooted with ManualNooter.....

CM10 is markedly slow. The Nook reader app opens books extremely slow to the point that the annoyance makes it virtually unuseable. Opera Mobile opens slow, though I suspect that is an Opera issue. Using the SwiftKey 3 Tablet interface is really good, but its response does not keep up with my key touches, making it difficult to input data. It does keep track of those key touches though. Using the Nova Launcher is nice, but I am not sure how much it contributes to the overhead lag. And the battery life is shorter but since I charge it nightly, it isn't a big deal, yet.

On boot and especially on update, CM10 takes a long time to settle down. The cpu is pegged-out doing something in the background for the longest time.

And I still cannot obtain the "Boot Menu" on boot to go into recovery. It just sits there displaying "Boot Menu Entering boot menu..." forever. Installing CWM on emmc removes the dual boot capability.

As for the pluses.....

The email gapp is really nice. Really nice. I wish I could port it to the B&N 1.4.3. The launchers are clever and intuitive at times. The update feature is really nice.

CM10 is a great proof of concept.

I was tempted to bring this up in the dev thread but I am not sure if these are dev issues. I have worked with each of the alpha versions as they came out and many of the nighties. I can wipe and do clean installs I am cyan in the face. And it is getting tiring to reinstall so many apps and data on each and every clean install. And then to bound through them for functionality. Fortunately the B&N partition still works as expected. :)

I do have both OS's on emmc with B&N in the alternate partition. I try to keep my data on the 16gb uSD Sandisk card.

If I have a question is would be this----> Are the Nova launcher and Swift 3 Tablet keyboard contributing lag overhead in excess of stock CM10?

Another question is----> AndroExplorer cache consumed my free space on the uSD card, is this normal, a bug, or a virus?

It would be nice if a thread OP, faq, or wiki on the NC CM10 with the optimum settings and apps (launchers and keyboards, etc).

Btw, it is amazing the NC can run CM10. My many thanks to all the devs working on it. God has blessed us well.
