If you go in Settings and then WiFi you can click on the menu option and tell it to not turn off wifi when the nook sleeps. This isn't the best solution as it uses power. Additionally, I've found that 802.11n is unpredictable for me and drops connections often. If set my router to only use 802.11b and 802.11g I have very few connection problems. Also the later versions of this ROM all improve on performance and reliability of the wifi.

I recommend you update to 1121 or 1128 and see if that helps first.

You speak better English than many people in my city. ;) haha
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BadKid3011:
Thanks CRE.I just tested 1128 but i cant change CPU speed.I think overlock alltime not good for CPU.Btw ASOP is a great rom i ever use:p.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I covered that in an earlier post. I use SetCPU to control the CPU speed or you may use another app such as ROM Toolbox. I never tried adjusting it in the Settings.

Auto-Patcher and Tablet UI?

Has anyone tried THIS as a solution to adding tablet UI without the issues we're currently seeing? As for now I'm happy to put up with phablet mode, but if this auto-patcher does what I THINK it says it does...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I haven't seen that before. As it's a patcher I'm very interested and may try it out later this evening. Windows users see HERE for an app with GUI to apply these patches to your ROM of choice.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Alright, I made a patch with the Windows app I previously linked to using the 1128 ROM. I don't feel like doing a completely clean install so I did the following:

Create patch for the 1128 build with only the Tablet UI option selected.

Re-flashed 1128 over 1128 which had already been installed and patched with the former Tablet UI fix.

Flashed the newly created update.zip.

Cleared cache and dalvik.

Rebooted.

Everything seems to be working well and there are no storage FCs! I still have the "Expanded Desktop" option in the power menu which I'm not sure if it's a remnant from the formerly applied Tablet UI fix or if this new patch app adds that functionality as well... A clean flash will tell us for sure.

Oddities: My home page screens are wider than my actual screen. It may be difficult to explain but to put it simply, any widgets or shortcuts placed along the outer sides or edges of the home screen runs off the screen. This may be an issue because I didn't do a clean flash and wipe everything first or it may be something in the settings is incompatible. When I have time to do a clean flash I'll post my findings if no one else does first.

EDIT: I had to reinstall gapps due to Play Store FCing and license errors on some paid apps (because Play Store wasn't functional). All seems to be working well now except for the odd overlap. DPI in build.prop is set to 160, if anyone is wondering.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
When you flash gapps, it places apks and libs in the system folder, when you flash a rom, it wipes the system folder and places new files in there, therefore, you need to flash gapps after every rom flash, whether or not you wipe data& factory reset

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johnseeking:
Seems like good news! Are you using Trebuchet, or another launcher? Wondering if that would make a difference in the screen wideness issue if a clean flash doesn't fix it.

In other belated news, I noticed an improvement from 11-15 to 11-28 last night that I can't believe didn't occur to me earlier: I was getting a stuttering bug when typing with Thumb Keyboard 4 (it lookkeed liike I waas double typping letterss) and it's completely gone now, works great on 11-28.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mikey F:
i posted this this a few pages back, its working fine for me
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Floating Point:
It works, but come customizations on UI won't work, such as changes on icons grid and remove/add options on power menu, at least here didn't work.

Ops sorry, I tried Tablet UI on this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773362

I'll test with the rom of this thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
The icon grid doesn't resize for me on this ROM either, it's locked at 7x7 no matter what I set it to and any icon's placed at the edge get a little bit cut off. The Power Menu settings still work for me but that may be because I flashed over an existing install where I set those options with a different Tablet UI fix first.

EDIT: Downloading 1207! Woot!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Up and shine! New rom for you guys. Hope you Like it.

And before you ask, imo WHEATLEY
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheForceUnleashed:
...Wheatley?

Oh and shouldn't there be a 06 THEN a 06.1? XD
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Shhh..... If he notices he might take it down and make everyone wait until tomorrow. ;)

Wheatley is the governor setting for controlling the CPU throttling.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Floating Point:
Yep, just tried the tablet ui with this rom, same limitations.

And you are right about power menu, if you make changes before applying tablet ui, it works, but after that, you cannot make any changes when running tablet ui.

Also, if you install the rom and apply the patch generated by autopatcher before making a "first run" without the original ui, the system stays on loading screen forever, you can only apply tablet ui after running the rom a first time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mechapanda:
Wheatley is based on ondemand scaling, I personally use it on my phone too

hi guys, I wiped all then flashed this rom 1207 and get bootloop at

Android is updating

Optimizing app 1 of 51

any idea ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
If you had wiped all before flashing you shouldn't have got Optimizing app, pop up. So it seems you did something wrong.

Retry.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] insafon:
do I need to format the SD card ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bulsatar:
So, I already get about 24 hours with moderate usage on a previous version and have had pretty much zero troubles. Will this one extend it even further???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Ok, thanks for the heads up. So I assume you made changes before patching the UI and then they were still present after patching?

I didn't experience this but I didn't wipe system and data and start from a clean slate. I just cleared the Dalvik and cache partition and then flashed. Did you do a clean install or did you flash over your previous ROM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
You tell us..

Thanks

Is deep sleep really working? On a full charge, just leaving the nook unused and off the the battery drains in a day. maybe day and a half.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Check your apps. It is deep sleeping just fine here.

Sent from my Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet using my fingers to Swype
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johnseeking:
Sorry to spam up the thread, but as previously mentioned, download and run CPU Spy. If it's NOT deep-sleeping, the bar graphs for each CPU speed will not have one for "deep sleep." I'm guessing if it's NOT deep sleeping, some app or process is keeping it awake. My media server process was being used by SOME app I had installed (never figured out which one) and that sapped my battery like a camel until I uninstalled a few apps. Also be sure that your wifi is set to disconnect when your screen is off. Downloading Battery Spy might help you figure out what's eating your electrons.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mikey F:
ok, so im back and trying again, i fully wiped, flashed, and it gets the boot anim, then optimises apps (i swear i wiped, have gone back and wiped again, formatted system etc) and gets to optimising apps 2 of 60, then reboots

edit: about 10th reboot and its on 8 of 60 apps optimising lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
Check to see if WiFi is set to turn off when the tablet goes to sleep. I find that setting to be the trigger for deep sleep with these CM 10 ROMs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Wonder if we need to investigate this issue more, it seems has to do with not proper formatting of the partitions and not about hardware.

Do you have fastboot access?

Edit:What Recovery you have (with version number please)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Se7enex:
I've been using this ROM as a base and I have but one complaint, the Wifi is extremely sporadic. I bought Max Payne and GTA III on the app market and they wont download as the wifi breaks up in the middle of the download so the whole thing fails and I have to restart, however this happens everytime so I'm left with money thrown down the drain..:crying:

This is seriously awesome though, if the wifi is fixed then this will be complete, at least in my opinion.

(Yeah, my connection is crystal, router is about 15 ft away.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I too have had a lot of trouble with wifi on this last build. I'm going to do a full wipe and reinstall at some point to see if that helps.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Se7enex, You could always install the previous build, install your apps and then update to the current build (or if you want a clean install, backup the apps with Titanium Backup and then install the current build and restore the apps). Not the smoothest solution but it'll get you up and running.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
I had the same issue. I tried wiping everything (data, cache, dalvik) both before and after flashing the zip.

In the end, I had to restore a CWM recovery of the 1127 build to get it working again. I'm on a 16 GB Nook Tab with CWM 6.0.1.2 installed on the internal eMMC.

I'll try CWM 6.0.1.5 and see if that helps, but I'm thinking that it shouldn't matter.

[EDIT] I flashed 6.0.1.5 onto my Nook and then tried to flash the 1207 CM10 build after a reboot, and the system rebooted during the install of the image before it finished. And then it came right back to the optimizing apps screen after the CM boot logo. And it managed to get through the full optimization of all 101 apps on the system (I only wiped cache and dalvik this time). But when I got to the About screen, it was still running the 20121115 build. [/EDIT]

Do I need to reflash gapps after flashing the new version of CM10?

chezdude
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I haven't tried using 6.0.1.4. I started with 6.0.1.4 and had no issues. I don't know if there were any significant changes but I suppose it's possible. Have you tried fixing permissions? Have you repartitioned your NT?

I could swear that I didn't have to reinstall gapps when flashing between a couple of these versions and I did with others but I'm told that yes, you are supposed to reinstall everytime. I suppose I could have been restoring gapps with Titanium without knowing it or something (can Titanium do that?).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
I have to revert back to 6.0.1.2 as 6.0.1.5 is very unstable on my nook.

And no, it's still the stock partition layout and I haven't tried to fix permissions. But what would mess up the permissions when all I'm doing is flashing a new build of the same firmware?

I'll see if I can find CWMR 6.0.1.4 to see if that makes a difference.

[EDIT] Ok, I tried to fastboot the 6.0.1.5 5touch recovery image to my nook, which seemed to take fine. Then I flashed the 20121207 firmware, and the results are even worse. I get a boot loop even before the CW10 boot screen shows up. This firmware does support the 5touch drivers, correct? Or do I need to revert to the stock touch driver, upgrade, and then reinstall the 5touch drivers? [/EDIT]

chezdude
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Those who didn't fix partition errors with parted, Please report here, thanks.

What i mean is this:

Or this:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
The firmware posted is 10 touch and the later versions of this ROM support it just fine. I have no idea why you're having the problems you are having but if you're even having issues with 6.0.1.5 then something isn't right with your NT or the memory. I would probably use the complete wipe/unbrick SD and start 100% clean. I'd at least format the system partition.

I think things are getting a little confusing too with regard to the 'firmware' statements. The OS builds are generally referred to as either a build or ROM. Firmware refers to the software flashed to the touchscreen's controller. The driver is what sits between the two. The 'ROM' vs 'firmware' adoption or reassignment to different things has always bugged me but it is what it is... Have you updated the touchscreen's firmware? If so you need to run 6.0.1.5 which is posted at the beginning of this thread. Earlier versions and some builds are not compatible.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mikey F:
Ok Im using CWM 6.0.1.9 from Chris's 0.8.1 build. I have fastboot access, although will need telling what you want me to do!

This build got further than the last one, as i said, but still cannot boot properly, i formatted/wiped again, and installed chris 0.8.2 build, and it just boots straight away no problems. weird. Im happy to test anything/follow any instructions if your happy to give the time :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
Yeah, the terminology used bugs me too. Techincally these can't be ROMs as you can't write a ROM by the definition of the term...

To answer your questions, yes, I did install the 6.0.1.5 with 5touch CWMR, and then flashed the 20121207 build, and it still boot loops on me.

I could see doing the full factory wipe/unbrick if the 20121115 build wasn't working just peachy on my nook, even after restoring it twice after failed upgrade attempts. And I've read in some of the earlier posts (not necessarily in this thread) to never format the system partition.... that it can lead to a world of hurt. What is the fundamental difference between doing a wipe data/cache/dalvik through CWMR and using the wipe/unbrick method?

I just want to make sure that I don't make it worse since 20121115 runs.

chezdude
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] djd338:
Similar situation here. I have cwm 6.0. 1.2 & v20121115. Stock partitions,no touch firmware (which I don't really have to have) Rom is running fantastic for me, but if I try & upgrade cwm & try a newer rom, everything goes South fast! I've tried a couple times & ended up having to completely start back over with unbrick methods. Now I'm so "gun shy" I'm afraid to change anything! Don't really need to change anything other than the fact I'd like to check out newer stuff.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
No one reported yet if he/she fixed the partitions errors and still having flashing problems
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
Sorry, I saw that but didn't think it was for me. How do I tell if there are partition errors and where would they come from if one build is working fine and the latest isn't?

I'll re-read your post, but I'm not familiar with that tool that you were using, is that via ADB or on the nook directly?

[EDIT] Ok, did some searching and believe that I figured out how to do what you are asking. First, I don't seem to have sgdisk on my nook. I am using adb shell to access the nook and I ran parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 followed by check and it is reporting what you indicated about the GPT.

[EDIT 2] Fixing the partitions didn't seem to make a difference. It still goes in to the optimizing screen, and then self-reboots. I'll let it keep doing this for a while to see if it manages to make it all the way through the optimizing of all apps or not.

One question, did you mean to fix the partitions _before_ or _after_ flashing the new build? I did it before, rebooted, then flashed the new build.

chezdude
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
I think i got my answer :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
I checked the partitions after installing the 20121207 build and there were no errors reported. I then wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik) and flashed the build again, to see if it made a difference.

Sadly, it didn't.

Any other suggestions to try?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Ok, so you haven't installed the 10 touch FIRMWARE yet? Are you still running a 2 touch digitizer firmware or have you upgraded to a 5 or 10 touch capable firmware? The Touch2Flash apk linked to on the first page installs a 10 touch compatible firmware for the screen digitizer. But not all "ROMs" are compatible with this newer firmware so you'll need to check when choosing "ROMs" in the future to ensure they are compatible.

The wipe/unbrick method erases EVERYTHING, deletes all partitions and then reformats, repartitions and reinstalls the factory OS. The only way to know that there isn't a glitch somewhere. A glitch could happen for any reason and may only show up under certain circumstances, perhaps builds after 20121115 are trying to read from a bad sector or a small patch of corruption in an allocation table which 20121115 doesn't use... I could only speculate but those are reasons why I might start from what I know to be a TRULY clean slate. This also fixes the noncompliant partition table issue which Demetris has been trying to explain.

I am having significant wi-fi problems with this last build.... To the point that I have to reboot to get it up and running again only to loose all wi-fi functionality if I let the nook sleep for any period of time. Any thoughts on this? With the last build my wi-fi was very solid.

So when trying to save an attachment from email..the nook wants an sd card..why wouldn't it see the internal??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
Yes, I am using that firmware, but this ROM (or at least the 20121115 build) are compatible and work just fine with that firmware.

Yeah, I get you. I'll have to wait until I have some time to build the SD card. Most of the instructions that I've found assume that you are on Windows or Linux and don't always translate 100% to a Mac. I tried it one time but didn't have enough time to figure out what went wrong, so I've pretty much stuck to the CWMR methods since then.

I fixed the partition table thing and it didn't make a difference. 20121207 doesn't boot and 20121115 works just fine. Battery life isn't the best, but it's better once you set WiFi to turn off when the unit is asleep.

Wish I could help on this one, but all I can say is that my WiFi seems pretty solid on 20121115 as well.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

I'll give this a try and report back. Isn't that recovery partition where CWM lives, though? Just installing the ROM won't put that back, will it? Or is that something different?

chezdude

Everything but the last command works. Just to make sure I'm not doing something dense, when you say "rom.zip", do you mean the 20121207 build, or the recovery.img file?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
Ok, this certainly didn't work. erasing the boot and recovery partitions just basically bricked my nook. Now it boots to the nook logo and sits there, draining the battery until it shuts down. And this is on the power supply plugged into the wall.

I'm trying to do AdamOutler's SD recovery to stock to see if I can get a boot image back onto it, but it doesn't look good right now if I can't even get it to power on.

I searched the threads, but nothing seemed to address this particular issue of a nook that doesn't have a recovery or boot partition any more.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mikey F:
when i read what demetris has put, about fastboot erasing all those partitions, a voice in my head said id read a few times to only ever format /system or youll be bricked. Chezdude, have you tried the Adamoutler sd card?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Let me know how it goes now that you have fastboot erased the partitions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chezdude:
That was a lot more painful than I thought it would be. Mostly because I had the 10 touch firmware installed on the Nook. So when I restored to stock 1.4.2, the touchscreen didn't work and I had no recovery partition.

For anyone that gets into this situation, here's what I did:

1) Created a bootable SD card with the B&N 1.4.2 stock recovery image

2) Rebooted the nook (once it got enough battery power) - it has to be plugged into the USB power supply

3) Rebooted again once I got the green checkmark

4) Nook went through a data wipe as part of the stock restore

5) Found an SD card image from imafanof with CM-10 and burned that to an SD card

6) Booted the nook while plugged into USB power supply - it booted into CM10 from the SD card

7) Thankfully, the SD image contains the Touch Firmware install/remove app - so I could remove the touch firmware

8) Rebooted to stock 1.4.2 to verify that the touchscreen was working again - and it was

9) Rebooted to cyanboot on the SD card and enabled FastBoot

10) Fastboot installed the CWMR 6.0.1.5 to the eMMC

11) Just to be safe, rebooted to the internal CWMR and reflashed CWMR 6.0.1.5

12) Rebooted into CWMR 6.0.1.5

13) Did factory reset and wiped dalvik

14) Installed CM-10-20121208-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip

15) Rebooted and CM10 booted up and optimized apps - but this time it completed and I was now in bare CM10

16) Realized that I forgot to flash gapps, so rebooted to CWMR and flash the JB version of gaps

17) Rebooted to CM10 again - now I had the play store and could install Titanium Backup root to restore my apps and data

18) Spent about 45 minutes restoring apps and data through Titanium Backup

19) Went into Google Play and update all apps to latest versions

20) Updated the Amazon AppStore

And I'm back up and running CM-10-20121208-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim (succulent kernel)

Which I don't think is the hashcode version of the ROM, but I'm ok with that... I just spent most of the day getting it back up and running... I want to leave it here for a while...

Thanks for all the effort by all involved in these ROMs and forums. It is certainly appreciated by me.
