I've been trying to update my nook color from 10.2.1 to any version 11. I have wiped cache and data and still end up with 10.2. Last time I lost root and had to restore from back up.

Any help greatly appreciated. Also if you can tell me the best stable 11 for the nook I will download via browser.

Thanks for any and a inputت

Agree it sounds like the recovery. Get the latest here:

Is M12 still the most stable build? For some reason I am experiencing slow performance on a fresh install.

Same here, did you find a fix? I'm looking into how to shut down background programs when I need some speed. Just install afwall so I can isolate all connections when I'm on internet. I use it on my Samsung s4 mostly for safety when I'm on public WiFi. But I need to take a close look at process too.

I have ROM toolbox pro and I'm thinking that may help. If I can configure without bricking.

Managed to get this working in 2016. Many links were dead. CM11 works better than CM9/CM10 for sure. CM7.2 was smoothest but many things could no longer be connected to when running it.

On latest nightly, I disabled things and let it settle. Smoothness increased. Haven't tried apps yet.

I used the Gapps from open gapps and chose ARM + 4.4 + pico for the smallest performance impact (I'll choose what I want to destroy this old bugger). It worked as far as I can tell.

Just wait for nougat tho. That'll speed it up I'm sure!

Any specific magic you had to do? My NC is currently running CM10.2 and TWRP 2.3.0.2. This installation happened so long ago, can't remember details. What are the steps to get to CM11 nightly?
[Nook Color Android Development] wizardknight:
This drove me nuts at first, but if you download the nightly from here. https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=encore&type=nightly

and then you need to use one of the newest recoverys like cwm 6.0.5+ or twrp 2.8.3. The others gave me errors.

[Nook Color Android Development] Glardian:
I found a working version of 4.4.4 here - https://archive.org/download/cmarchive_nighlies/cm-11-20160815-NIGHTLY-encore.zip

I just flashed it. So far so good. It runs smoother than the 4.3 build I was running before. Obviously, use at your own risk.
[Nook Color Android Development] Budge72:
I just found my old Nook Color after many years. I'd like to make it a dedicated monitor for Octoprint. I'm not sure what the best setup would be. I really just need a good browser that will allow me to check the video feed in realtime 720p. Is CM11 the best option for me?
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
I would think so. keep in mind security wise it's not going to be up to date in case that matters...
[Nook Color Android Development] Budge72:
Not so much. What I really need is a severely trimmed down OS, with the fastest bare bones browser supported. I don't even need outside internet access...just wifi access to my router so I can control the wireless 3D printer. What browser should I use and how do I find the right version (since it's probably not current)? Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Taken Aback:
Is there an idiot's guide to doing an internal install (no need to keep the SD card in) for CM11? Well, that is if what I read is true about CM11 being the last "fast" running build (Read 12 gets bogged down, and that 11

IS

faster than 10 - true?).

I'd just love a quick booting tablet for webbrowsing at least.

I suppose battery life is a consideration as well, is CM11 the best in that regard as well?
[Nook Color Android Development] micl9:
A day too late for me!

Yes wiping /rom is bad news, but thanks to Leapinlar - easy to fix. Easy, but risky!

The ALT zip will install the recovery as AltBoot from the uboot menu. You can have two recoveries installed, one as recovery and one as AltBoot.
[Nook Color Android Development] unibroker:
I flashed my new CM11 build with your TWRP and it worked flawlessly. I believe a poster on another board had a problem with the screen timing out which I experienced as well. The fix is within TWRP settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
That's exactly the intended result, though -- GoogleHome is more than 12 MB, and if we were to let the larger Google apps packages install it, many eMMC installs would run out of space before finishing installation (which causes problems like not having the Play Store and not being able to add a Google account). If nothing tries to install GoogleHome, the symlink is harmless -- the system will ignore it. I agree that this is an ugly hack, but it's better than dealing with a flood of questions about why the Google apps are broken from users who didn't install the "official" package.

Thanks to these disk space limitations on eMMC, we're just not going to be able to support Google apps packages that attempt to install GoogleHome as the only launcher. (If you really want the Google launcher, I believe CM is looking at shipping a stub for it in the base system -- that would be much smaller because it would omit the wallpapers in the GoogleHome package. If you're really, really, really insistent on shipping the GoogleHome stub including the Google wallpapers, then delete the symlink before installing, but don't complain if your system breaks after installing it.)
[Nook Color Android Development] highnoteuser:
Thanks again for the clarification. It helps in the learning process. Is the 0 byte apk the simlink or is there I master file that makes all of those decisions that I can have my GAPPS remove via updater-script?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it in your updater-script.

There is no way to select live wallpapers in my install. Is this a bug or is something wrong with my install?
[Nook Color Android Development] highnoteuser:
All of the wallpapers and wallpaper picker have been removed from the install probably to lighten it up a bit and because live wallpaper would bog down our older devices.
[Nook Color Android Development] andtron:
Anyone has problem having the CM11'a usb recognized by the OSs (windows 7 and Ubuntu)?

It happens to my own build too so my system(s) will no longer connect to the Nook Color.

Flashing it back to the CM10 makes it good again.

TIA.
[Nook Color Android Development] steelerfan75:
I love the CM 11 nightly's. I was wondering if anyone has gotten the Simpsons Tapped Out to work. It works now TY guys again the CM 11 nightly are awesome.
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
Live wallpapers are not supported in Android 4.4/CM11 for "low memory" devices like the Nook Color. (Unless you have a not-all-that-live "live" wallpaper, you don't want to use live wallpapers on Nook Color anyway -- it's really rather slow.)

Can you try both the last CM10.2 nightly (20140119) and the just-released CM10.2.1 stable and see if this happens? (If you're in a hurry, you can just take the kernel of one release and flash it over the other instead of reflashing the whole thing.)
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
This should be fixed in the latest CM11 nightly (I've been over in CM10.2 land the last few days, so I haven't had a chance to check myself).
[Nook Color Android Development] ibilln:
Have not experienced the glory of the new low-cpu boot animation in either /31 or /01. ??
[Nook Color Android Development] andtron:
I did that as you suggested, first use 10.1.32, then flashed the 11.0 over it, now it is all fine.

However, now when I am doing the 11.0 rebuild, I'll get this error at the end of the build:

using device-specific extensions in device/bn/common

unable to load device-specific module; assuming none

The cm-11-20140201-UNOFFICIAL-encore.zip file did created, but I am not sure if the error messages are normal.

P.S. I never paid attention to my earlier builds (Jan 23, 25, 26 etc.) had this error or not.

Thanks again, Steven.
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
See, this is what happens when you don't test-build your changes :| drmarble's submitted a fix which will be in the next nightly.

That's normal -- I think it's looking for device-specific plugins to the OTA updater, and we don't have any. (See tuna's plugin for an idea of what these plugins can do.)
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
I see this at the top of your last_kmsg:

Linux version 3.0.101-g41c4f2e (fattire@laptop) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #2 PREEMPT Sun Nov 17 16:56:33 PST 2013

which is way too old to correspond to any CM11 build. Are you sure you've posted the right file (another data point: your posted last_kmsg seems to correspond to a relatively orderly shutdown)? If you have, is your kernel up-to-date?
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Okay, this is weird. I was on 20140129 nightly, updated through my own build from a few days earlier.

I have no idea how this is possible. There's no way I could have mixed up the files or anything. Well, I must have screwed up somewhere, but that's beyond me. Or is there any sane way something like this could happen?

Well, if it happens again, we'll try again, shall we?

Hello everyone,

I updated the 01/31 nightly with the 02/02 nightly and my desktop was rearranged as if I had just installed from scratch. All my apps were still on the NC but the desktop didn't remain.

Just wondering if anyone knows why?

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] webyrd:
Thanks again

Loaded and have run 0129 nightly for a few days, all seems well, a couple of notes:

Gallery, did not sync with Picasa (same as in CM10 GAPPS), flashing http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed.zip after flashing GAPPS works and will give you a Gallery that syncs with Picasa;

The stock browser did not sync with Chrome bookmarks like it did in CM10 - I restored a backup of the CM10 browser, now it does.

Downloading 02/02 nightly now.

As usual, great job by the Devs, thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
What's the best way to force the tablet in default rotation to portrait? Uncomment out the build.prop line related to rotation?

Most apps will automatically rotate (netflix, games etc), I know youtube won't, but oh well.

Trebuchet crashes on rotation, but the primary reason is the NC is pretty slow to update on rotate :)

BTW, I noticed video stutters a lot in portrait, but turning off HW Overlays that goes away, and in landscape it's fine too.

Installed 2/1 on the thing last night, I'll update in a few days to pick up the boot change etc. My daughter is using it these days, but it was on 10.1 I believe and heard 11 was a bit better so figured I'd update it and give it a shot. :) Seems to be as good, maybe better. Hard to tell, going from a Snapdragon 800 device to the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] nismopc:
EDIT: Never mind. Answered my own question...
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
The launcher's package name changed from com.android.launcher3 to org.cyanogenmod.trebuchet (and then to com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet). There was supposed to be a smooth migration at all points, but it may not have worked going from one nightly to another.

You probably need to talk to the Google apps maintainers about that -- the problem is that Google's been moving sync functionality out of plugins into closed-source variants of the AOSP apps, but shipping "GalleryGoogle" instead of "Gallery" has been problematic on some devices in the past (for one thing, it means we lose whatever changes we might make to our Gallery app).

Also, stock Browser versions older than CM11 will be crashy with CM11, due to the change from the old WebKit to the new Chromium WebView. Browser used to use lots of private WebView APIs, many of which have disappered from Chromium WebView.
[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
Well, almost. After you set ro.sf.hwrotation=270 in build.prop, you need to rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_ENCORE_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT (otherwise, the accelerometer and touchscreen report coordinates for landscape orientation and things get really confusing really fast!).

My suspicion is that hwcomposer is somehow involved in this, and that's a data point supporting that guess -- we need to look at this further.
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Hahaha, I remember when I tried to do the build.prop edit without knowing about the kernel requirement some weeks ago. I think I ended up reflashing since navigating to the build.prop to revert the change was, while interesting and somewhat fun, absolutely impossible.

What's the reason for CM being landscape nowadays? I find that immensely awkward and having to build my own kernel/rom all the time when I could update so easily through the cm updater does not sound too encouraging.

That being said, you can still disable everything except the portrait rotation if you don't mind losing all autorotation.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Are you using the Google Experience Launcher or Trebuchet?
[Nook Color Android Development] volpo222:
The launcher is Trebuchet.

I'd love to try the Google experience launcher but do no know how to get it. I am using an SD install with the recommended gapps. After installing the nightly I deleted the stubs and installed the gapps. It works pretty well but there are some glitches. Trebuchet stops every once and a while and the WiFi doesn't connect after waking from sleep without toggling it on and off. In landscape the text under the shortcuts on the desktop are mostly below the line and are unreadable but these are early days yet and I expect all of these bugs will get flattened in time.

V

More: I just installed the Google experience launcher, thanks for the link. It's nice but icons take up more real estate. Easy to switch with a "Home" setting in settings. Both desktops are remembered so only need to set them the first time. Text is in the clear in portrait.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Sure, I enabled only 270, but seems like it kept rotating anyway after some apps, then rotating back and trebuchet crashing etc.

BTW, next time you blow up the build.prop you can edit the build.prop from adb, but just flashing the same or newer build would fix it too.

If anyone is interested, I modded the stock CM GAPPS package to remove the following apps from CM upon install:

BasicDreams, Browser, Calendar, CMWallpapers, DSPManager, SoundRecorder, Term, VoicePlus, Trebuchet

After an update the above apps will remain removed as well as removing CMAccount.

I also removed the following apps from the GAPPS package itself: GenieWidget, Gmail2, Google CalendarSyncAdapter, Hangouts

and added: GEL(renamed Google Launcher to work around the devs block), Sunbeam(intended for other devices and will not work on our Nooks)

The package removed a few other apks if installed on a mobile device. I made this for my LGOG initially and tweaked it so the same package would be useful for the Nook. I personally feel it really cleans things up.

*If I am out of line posting this here let me know, but I just thought I'd offer it up to my Nook companions first since that's the second device I've geared it towards and tested it with. If steven676 says it's OK I'll post up a link.

We're not a dictatorship -- you're always allowed to post your own original work. That said:

Please don't remove the terminal -- we point people to it for debugging purposes occasionally, and while they can get it from Market, it's better to not have to deal with questions about "why can't I find this"?

If you remove Browser, you must ship Chrome (or Firefox, or Opera, or some other browser) in your package. Apps and the system itself are allowed to assume a browser is present, and they do (see section 3.4.2 of the Android compatibility definition for details).

Don't rename the package on disk -- just remove the symlink before installing.

[Nook Color Android Development] aperezdc:
Hi everybody! I have been trying out the CM11 nightlies, which work quite nicely indeed. Congrats (and thanks) to everybody involved. Also, despite claims that ART does not work, I have managed to use it by removing the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file — probably just disabling the boot animation would do as well.

I have noticed that CM11 does not honor persist.sys.vold.switchexternal to swap use the internal eMMC as SD card. In my AOSP builds I have been using the following patch to add back this feature:

https://github.com/aperezdc/android_system_vold/commit/82555d6a5c65ebb1ca3313e628cc2d4af9461398

Do you think we could get something like this in CM? I can prepare a review request in Gerrit, if the approach sounds sensible.
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
01/04 it had the hwcomposer in the build.
[Nook Color Android Development] bowguy:
The latest nightlies no longer need to do anything special to enable ART. Steven676 has greatly reduced the memory footprint of the bootanimation resulting in faster boots and eliminates the need to disable it for ART. I confirmed this last night.

Edit: Hey - I didn't code ART, just showing how to turn it on. YMMV ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] ibilln:

I tried ART. VERY slow, unresponsive. Went back to Dalvik. Good old (new) Nook Color. (2/05 nightly).
[Nook Color Android Development] volpo222:
I noticed that in landscape mode the text under the shortcut icons has sunk 'below the line' and is unreadable (a few pixels do show).

In settings, Personalization, Home, Settings (top right), General, de-select Larger Icons. The text will now display properly. This does not persist after installing a new nightly.
