I know it is an over asked question. But I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on it. Please don't hurt me. :angel:

Netflix.

What is exactly holding back CM9/10 from getting this app working? CM7 is flying and Netflix works perfectly. I know we needed hardware acceleration, but that seems to be working again so I'm curious why Netflix is still not working. Is there some bug with just this app? Is there a bug with hardware acceleration?

Are developers just not interested in the app so work isn't done to get it working? I flashed back to CM7 after being on CM9 for far too long hoping it would be just around the corner but it never came. So I'm curious if Netflix is a possibility at all or is it just wishful thinking?

I don't mean to be an entitled newb by any means. I just want to set my own expectations. If it's never going to come, then just tell me and I can put my little mind to rest and be happy with CM7.

Thanks for not killing me. :)
[Nook Color General] whiteguypl:
It was fixed and then some other fix broke the fix. I believe its just waiting on a fix for the fix to be pushed to fix it.

Anyway, I've used PlayOn or Plex to play Netflix on just about any device indirectly, this shouldn't be any different to use as an intermediary. Still kinda want the usb keyboard to work, is there a patchable fix or something I can do to the source?
[Nook Color General] 1800collect:
I forgot about PlayOn and I have a lifetime subscription. Does it play well on CM10?
[Nook Color General] samcoinc:
Ok - I have been using mod7 for a while. When they got accellerated video playback working - (seeing the beta 1) I thought I would give it a try.

Wow.

Very nice.

But - I do get SOD (what does that stand for? Screen of death?) (when it goes into sleep - it rarely comes out... - using both the volume and n button.)

But - my main issue is youtube doesn't play. I get a blank video - it almost seems like the video has 0 lenght. You hit play - it doesn't do anything. If you go to full screen - it pauses 'loading video' then flashes back to the windowed player screen. I installed adobe flash from instructions here...

and still no go. I also reset the machine to factory defaults..

what am I missing?

I factory reset my nook and flashed this, and so far so great EXCEPT one thing...the sleep.

If i use the N button or the power button, or the volume buttons (enabled in settings) to get my nook out of sleep, I get a black screen: meaning the screen turns on, but it is only a black display.

After that, it continues to wake up in a similar way until i restart it or it crashes and bootloops.

I have the older touchscreen HW if it matters

Cant get GAPPS to install

I have tried every which way from Sunday but on boot I do not see Google Play Store or any other Gapps installed. My methods:

boot to recovery (v3.2.0.1)

1. Factory Data Reset

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe Dalvik

4. Install ROM from Zip

5. Install Gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip)

6. Wipe Dalvik..reboot

I have tried many combinations of the above but the result is CM10 starts fine but no gapps. Any suggestions please?

had that problem when going from GB to ICS

what worked for me:

restore backup to GB

Factory Reset

(dont wipe anything)

Rom install

Gapps install

(dont wipe anything)

reboot
[Nook Color General] dragonguy1:
I also used this route and everything installed properly. I like this ROM, it runs unbelievable smooth. I've been running this for about a week and, aside from the known bugs, I love it. I've gotten one SOD so far but nothing else. I for one think I'll wait for the Devs to work out the bugs
[Nook Color General] moocow1452:
Should, its all video. Anyway, if the default player doesn't take it, Adobe Flash will, so if your willing to break out the old busted, it should play nice.

EDIT: Threw Crunchyroll, World of Goo, and the opening of Sonic CD at it, plays like a tablet half its age. Added the thing about Flash, though it should support HLS out of the box.
[Nook Color General] kSnaz:
Thank you for your suggestion. I did get closer with your procedure, on boot I see "Android is upgrading your applications 35 of 50.." and appears to complete successfully which to me is a sign that gapps is installing. But again after boot there are no gapps and strangely Rom Manager disappears from the application list soon after boot, I see the icon and then it is gone.

I suspect my partioning is off and these applications are not ending up where they are supposed to?

So I have been running the dev version.. ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33311751&postcount=3261 )

Everything is running quite well - but I plugged it in to charge (nook charger) and I noticed it has been at 48% for quite a while. (says 'charging')

sam

Heh - I rebooted the nook and now it says 100% charged..

must have been confused...
[Nook Color General] samcoinc:
ok. how does the nook/GB react in regards to power button and such? I when I hit the power button to shut the nook off at night - in the moring I have to hold the power button in for 20+ seconds for it to come on. (touching volume, N or power button doesn't work) Is this normal?

This moring though - it did not boot. It went though the cyanoboot - then blank. I tried to just reinstall the dev oncore.zip and it didn't work (still blank) what worked was installing beta 1.zip first - then the dev version.

I did try clearing cach and resetting to factory default first with no effect. Still though GB runs really nice.

odd.

CM10 Nook Color to Nokia N8 wifi connection problem

CM10 on nook color is running fantastic. Scrolling is very smooth, apps loading fast, Image rendering pretty good.

But I am unable to connect my nook color to Nokia N8 using joikuspot. How can I connect ??

Please help me..
[Nook Color General] GoodOmens182:
There's a trick to the charging, I've found. If you turn on your screen (so that you can see/use the Nook's display) and turn off your wi-fi connection, it will charge pretty quickly. I'm averaging about two hours to get to a full charge doing this now.

I tried all 4 packages for grins. First 2 just show a block where the frame should be - the last two hange the browser. Am I dense? The stock player that works out of the box seems that you only have HQ or not. HQ runs pretty chopy but low quality is just to low. I see others say 720 works ok or lower res - how do you change that? can you in the default player in the default browser?

(or is there a trick to get flash to install on the above rom?)

Thanks!

[Nook Color General] samcoinc:
This is the second time i have had this happen.. Same thing - goes past cyanoboot - no splash - blank screen. Tried to clear cach and also reset to factory default - no go. Could not just install the cm-10-20121026-UNOFFICIAL-encore.zip image - had to install the beta1 image first - then the nook would boot again. then installing the cm-10-20121026-UNOFFICIAL-encore.zip worked.

Thanks. (not complaining - this is fun :) )

sam
[Nook Color General] samcoinc:
Now I do feel a bit stupid. I think the reason why I could not get install and maybe why it was boot looping is because I didn't format system, data and cache... I had only did it once when I installed the beta1 and after that I must have thought I remembered the steps to installing....

Time will tell

Lock screen sliders

A word of warning about lock screen sliders: configuring them is *slow*. You can do great things, but there are no progress indicators as it builds the list of apps, shortcuts, or Activities. You have to just wait; 10-15 seconds in my case (180 or so apps).

I had presumed that they just didn't work when I tried them in ICS, but with patience and a few helper apps, I've replaced (and more) the hard-button wakeup feature from my Palm TX with these sliders.

Helper apps:

Media Keys

QuickShortcutMake

Im running cmc10 off sd card. (Beta 2). The problem I'm having is netflix still won't work. So I thought maybe I had a bad download, so I downloaded again. When I go to make a new card, it says "install file not found". I've downloaded it 5 more times and it still doesn't find it. Thought maybe I wasn't prepping the card correctly, so I tried using the fist b2 download and it worked fine, but still no netflix. Has anyone had a problem getting netflix to work running off sd card? If so, is there something I can do to make it work? And does anybody

Have any idea why my card isn't reading the zip? Thanks
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Well you have several issues going here.

1. I run on SD and have no problems running Netflix 1.8.1.

2. Making a new card. You say file not found. What app is not finding the file? Are you trying to burn a new SD card? Or are you trying to put a new ROM on the existing SD. Then you talk about the first B2. And say can't read the zip. What zip ? I'm confused.

im making a new card. after i burn the card an fire it up for the first time, while text is being ran it comes to a point were it says initial install files not found. when i use the first b2 full of bugs i downloaded, it finds it, but when i try using the other b2 full of bugs zips that a downloaded it cant find it , so i figure there is something wrong with my downloads, i just cant figure out whats different. also is netflix 1.8.1 different from the netflix you get off google play? if so how do i go about getting it. sorry for the ignorance, just trying to learn
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It cannot find that zip because it is not named properly. It has to begin with update-, cm-, or gapps and end with .zip before the script will recognize it.

And yes, it has to be 1.8.1. The version on the play store will not work. I have a link in the other cm9/cm10 discussion thread from a few days ago (10/27).

I've been using CM10 alpha and beta 2 since they came out and I am loving it. Thanks to all those who put in the hard work to make this possible. Now that I've gone CM10, I'm never going back.

I do have one question, however:

What is the optimum partitioning scheme for a Nook Color running CM10 on internal memory (emmc) when you know that you're never going back to the standard Nook software? Naturally, Cyanoboot and a TWRP recovery partition should be included.

I've looked through a lot of threads about repartitioning, but most of the discussion revolves around restoring the original Nook partitions. Are there any docs and/or tools (zips) for specifically helping to create a standard set of Jelly Bean (CM10) partitions (with Cyanoboot and TWRP)?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
There is nothing about CM10 that dictates any different partitioning scheme than any other CM ROM. To me the optimum scheme for any ROM is the 2GB data/ 4GB media scheme. And you can learn more about how to get that scheme by reading Dean Gibson's excellent repartitioning thread. I don't think we should be taking up the CM10 thread's space talking general partitioning issues. I would be glad to continue this discussion either on Dean's thread or my partitioning repair thread linked in my signature.
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
Is there a SAMBA client baked into the rom? I ask because the only way I can get XBMC to see my NAS is to install a SAMBA client from the market. Really it just seems to me that SAMBA is one of those things you want installed by default, so all I can figure is there is either a misconfiguration or a technical reason not to have it.

So... Thoughts? Is it not included or is something wrong?
[Nook Color General] tacitust:
Okay, thanks, I will take a look.

[Nook Color General] bigrat:
Beta 3 is up! Seems to be working well enough so far.
[Nook Color General] 1800collect:
So far so good. It's working pretty good too. Way better than the ICS roms. Plus, NETFLIX WORKS! Woooo!
[Nook Color General] bigrat:
So far, so good with CM10 b3. I cleared Dalvik/cache, and flashed over top of b2. I did see the dim screen once, but it just hung there for a second and then returned to normal. No double-tap needed. The "n" to wake up works. Haven't seen the "black screen but backlight on and won't wake up" screen, or whatever we're calling it these days.

Seems slightly faster than b2, but that's entirely subjective. Plays Anomaly:Warzone Earth (from the Humble Bundle) perfectly - this wasn't always the case for me.

I just installed CM10 on my Droid Inc, and it's interesting to see the difference - the Dinc is lots faster, but but it's cool that they're both running CM10, and they're otherwise alike.

I would say that b3 is good enough for a daily driver, and good enough to drop CM7. Once it's out of beta and the team re-adds overclocking above 1Ghz, it will be perfect for me. Just gotta be patient. Nice work, Nook Devs!

its a 8 gb sd card
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
That is an old image that you made a long time ago. You must have made that SD for CM7 or an early CM9. There are two things wrong with using that old SD with CM10. First, the installer expects the file to start with update- instead of cm- and second it will not display the sdcard media partition properly once installed. And the reason you have no room is because there already is another rom file stored there (probably because it was named wrong and never installed).

I recommend you go to my new updated SD installation thread linked in my signature and start over with the rev 5 image that is attached there made specifically for CM10. With CM10 you should be starting with a clean SD anyway, not installing over CM7 or CM9.

If it is a system app, which i think it is, just go to apps, pick that one and choose disable. If not a system app, you need to use the paid Titanium Backup Pro or the free Gemini Application Manager to freeze/block it.

So Netflix 1.8.1 works on CM10. Does anyone have another version they suggest? 1.8.1 seems to not be very receptive to touch and is hard to press the small play buttons, information buttons, and close buttons. Most everywhere else I don't have these problems, it seems to be a Netflix issue and the app is just laggy. So I am hoping there is an older version that isn't as resource intensive.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Go to apktop.com and search for Netflix. They have a lot of old versions there.

Well that was an attempt at futility. 1.7 and 1.6 wouldn't load whatsoever. Yet those were the ones with a decent UI and no guessing. Back to 1.8.1. I just wish it would register my touches. Far too often it thinks I am moving something so it won't open what I clicked.

[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You don't need to actually physically remove these apps. Since all of these apps are system apps, they can be disabled in settings/apps. Just open the app in settings and choose disable.

It's better to use this method, because when you flash a new version of the ROM (without wiping data, that is), they stay disabled. If you remove them, they get put back in a new ROM/gapp flash.

I couldn't find the "disable" option on the Settings->App (to the app itself), so is it in other places?

TIA.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
When you open the settings/apps, be sure to hit the 'all' tab at the top so that the system apps are shown. When you click on the system app that you want to disable, it is where the 'uninstall' button is for your downloaded apps. After you have disabled it, it is moved to the bottom of the list of apps and that button now says 'enable', in case you want to re-enable it. Remember, this is only for system apps. And for some system apps the 'disable' is greyed out.

[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Ordinarily that is all you need to do. But a few users have had trouble with just doing that. You might want to format system also. And if after booting you get fc errors, go back to CWM and fix permissions.
