Sadly, the tool I was hoping to use on this Nook crashes. Looks like it is failed due to a Bluetooth issue:

This is surprising because the developer does not list (or rely on) Bluetooth as a requirement. Any chance there's something amiss in the ROM itself?
[Nook Color Android Development] bowguy:
B&N never installed a BT antenna in the nook color. Earlier versions of CM had Bluetooth working but the range was only about 6 inches. I seem to remember drmarble disabled it in recent builds because he had issues getting it to compile. Since it was unusable anyway I think he took it out. Thus your error message. An earlier rom might work.
[Nook Color Android Development] robross0606:
Sadly, the app also requires recent version of Android as well, which is why was trying this. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] nmyshkin:
I'm thinking of picking up a Nook Color to play with. I saw a good deal that actually comes with the OEM cable and charger (rare as hens teeth, it seems) and these would work on my Nook Tablet as well, so the Nook Color itself would be almost "free".

Anyway, I'm intrigued by the CM13 and LNOS ROMs but am intimidated by [MENTION=4190710]drmarble[/MENTION]'s remarks re partitioning. Long ago I had B&N repartition my Nook Tablet and have always viewed the operation as arcane and perilous. I've read through the main repartitioning threads on the board here (sneaked over from the Nook Tablet board!) and it looks like the "easy" ways are all missing the files needed (broken links). The down-and-dirty manual way seems incredibly daunting to me, despite having done my share of ROM flashing, framework tweaking, etc.

So...considering I don't know if I'll get a "blue dot special" or an earlier model, is the repartitioning required for say, CM11 (w/pico GApps)? If it's needed for the CM13 and LNOS ROMs as [MENTION=4190710]drmarble[/MENTION] seems to suggest, what is the "best" size for data and media if one is going to try for just pico GApps (PlayStore access only)?

And what's the best procedure (gulp)?

Edit: OK, I finally found the post with the flashable zips for repartitioning as attachments. I feel a little bit more confident
[Nook Color Android Development] bowguy:
Give the repartitioning zips a try. They worked fine for me. Right now cm11 is the latest "usable" rom.

Drmarble had done great work up to 14 - it is fast but quirky and installing gapps is not recommend. No usable browser for example. I have cm11 booting from the SD card and 14 from emmc. It's just fun to play with.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Also, fwiw-- the Nook Color is a great device to "mess around" confidently with because you can always boot off the SD Card in an emergency. You can even completely wipe the internal storage (emmc), then rebuild the partitions yourself and reinstall everything... It's a really fun way to learn "safely" about how Android works without having to worry about messing anything up irreparably.

I know how daunting it is to set up partitions and stuff, but after you go through the nervewracking process a few times, things start to make sense and your confidence increases... plus the Nook Color has a ton of great documentation and help all over the internet... it's a great place to start to get your feet wet, IMO.
[Nook Color Android Development] worldindo1:
I honestly can't believe that the NC is still seeing development after 7 years (though I kinda can at the same time). Holy crap, you guys! And it's always warming to see that beer & glass avatar of [MENTION=3041959]fattire[/MENTION]. NC was really my first foray into custom ROMs (I remember sitting after school, loading up GB onto it and my mind subsequently blowing because I now had a full functioning tablet). Is there any devices you guys recommend that can handle the newer versions of Android but have comparable development? I never imagined that our old Nook would still be chugging along into the modern age like it has. This was honestly a blast to see that CM13 actually made its way on to the device!
[Nook Color Android Development] bowguy:
I feel a long lost disturbance in the force....
[Nook Color Android Development] nmyshkin:
So I finally went for an 8 GB Nook Tablet, rather than a Nook Color, principally because I found one with OEM cable and charger for less than $20 :) (the cable and charger alone could cost that--

if

you could find them)

That got me to experimenting with the RAM-poor brother of my 16 GB Nook Tablet and the reason for this post is that I worked out a method for PlayStore access (including apps that require GSF to run/install--at least free ones, maybe paid if you do it right)

without

GApps. None of this is my own invention except to bring together a method which I have posted here: https://xdaforums.com/nook-tablet/general/how-to-cm-11-8-gb-nook-tablet-bntv250a-t3667555

It's a lengthy post but the general method I have somewhere in the middle might work for the Nook Color as well (you'll need to get the appropriate Xposed for Marshmallow, though). So for those of you into experimenting, I offer it as a tease :)

The result on the 8 GB Nook Tablet is "ok". I realize the Nook Color has a slower processor, but it still might be fun to see what it could do.
[Nook Color Android Development] bowguy:
I saw this and was interested. Right now I have 14.1 running thanks to [MENTION=4190710]drmarble[/MENTION] but without a working browser it isn't very usable. I have been running cm11 on the sdcard, backing up an app I want using TB, unzip the archive on the card then booting into emmc and lineage 14.1 to install the app.

However, it looks like [MENTION=4190710]drmarble[/MENTION] is playing with 15 on the acclaim so maybe he might try encore as well.

I am at least a week away from trying this on 14.1 but will give it a go.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] nmyshkin:
Any chance that there is a zip somewhere still available for this ROM? Also, was there ever flashable zip for your CM 12.1?

I've got a Nook Color coming in the mail in a few days (decided to finally play around with this device) and want to put it through its paces. I have the CM 11 and your Lineage ROM, but can't locate copies of these others.
[Nook Color Android Development] olm3ca:
2022 is here - obligatory "the Nook Color is still alive!" post and wanted to help preserve some of these links for the future. I dug mine out of a drawer, flashed CWM 6.0.4.8 and the latest @drmarble upload of Lineage 14.1. Those are the only two files you should need - I repartitioned following the instructions, but I think it isn't required as long as you avoid gapps. Also, wifi worked after one reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] britoso:
Unfortunately this did not work for me. Caused a boot-loop after showing the "android" loading animation.

Maybe the repartitioning is needed ? (flashing showed no errors).

Got the same boot-loop with "lineage-14.1-0407_1436-DrM-encore-udb.zip"

Went back to the last build of CM11 (installed and works fine, just needs higher CPU frequency range to be smooth), links here:

ok , have searched on the www with nothing that explains to me (or simple enuff for me to understand ).

any explanations/links/thoughts are most appreciated.

Not all bootloader are closed source.

[Sony Xperia M2] Danchiman:
Ok, first of all, hi.

Well, the thing is that since i updated my xperia M2 D2305 from kitkat to lollipop .175, and even now on .182 , when i open the music player app, beeing the google play music app or the aony music player app, almost all my song are on the wrong album folder, or have wrong artist name, or both, making a bad experience of listening an album. I used the p.t. indonesia ftf, and then updated using pccompanion. I wanted to know if anyone else was having the same trouble with that. I tried the Global Generic .175 and that trouble wasn't there. But it had no NFC icon on the notificacion bar, so i didn't liked it. Do i have to try flashing another FTF or is there a way to fix it?

The music files are in the sd card and have the right properties about album, artist name and everythinf. Is something wrong with the FTF.

Thanks anyway and sorry for the long post.
[Sony Xperia M2] Danchiman:
I would prefer to not having to reflash another FTF because i don't want to miss all my stuff, apps, configurations and some photos on the phone memory, but if there is no way to fix it, maybe i'll have to reflash another FTF.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
No 5.1 ftf has the NFC icon enabled by default, you need to change it from false to true in your build prop file

Are you using the download music info setting?
[Sony Xperia M2] Danchiman:
This FTF, P.T. indonesia, has the NFC icon enabled by default, i just tried the download music info setting and it didn't help, i think it may have corrected a few songs, but the example of the screen shot it still the same, it corrected the artist of all songs, but many songs are in the wrong album. Thanks anyway

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggydrums:
I've seen people with this same issue and I am sure Busybox is the culprit. Just tried installing to a variety of paths like /system/bin and /su/bin and it still breaks Wifi calling. You may ask yourself how I can be so sure this this is the cause. I uninstalled Busybox and immediately Wifi calling was working again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPurity:
How are you testing to make sure its a WiFi call? Are you turning on airplane mode while on WiFi? That ensures all radios are off except WiFi.

Also what do you mean its not working? What happens? Do you get an error message? Does it make a noise? Does it do a song and dance instead? (Kidding)

The more details you give the more likely someone will be able to help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggydrums:
You're right, my bad. Well, underneath the mobile data toggle in quick settings, it switches to "T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling" when it's active, and just T-Mobile whenever else. Almost immediately as I remove Busybox, Wi-Fi calling returns. Phone calls also display if it's calling using wi-fi.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPurity:
No problem, but still I don't know what you mean by it does not work. When trying to call does it say the call is connected or call failed or some other error or what?

Honestly I'm not really sure what the problem or fix is since I'm not super experienced with busy box or unix commands myself. I believe you can manually choose which utilities busy box installs. So the best thing to do first is to narrow down which specific Unix utilities in busy box that might be causing this. Install 1 of the utility in busy box and try to WiFi call, then repeat until wifi calling stops working again. Then come back and report which one it was that breaks WiFi calling.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrchennyken:
Can anyone else test this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datdirtyscrew:
Just tested your theory and my WiFi calling still works. Even rebooted in between uninstalling and installing busy box. Was curious because as soon as I read this thread I tested and saw my WiFi calling was not working so I decided to test your theory.. I uninstalled busy box and it still was not working. I rebooted my phone and WiFi calling was working again. I installed busy box and WiFi calling still working. I rebooted again and busy box still installed and WiFi calling still working. Hope this helps.

Crazy thing... Both phones are set up exactly the same. Fully stock. It seems the 4gb model is using more ram than the 2gb model. I have less than 800mb avail on both. Makes no sense at all. Any ideas why or has anyone else noticed this?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i snort flour:
Well the 4g (really it's 3.8g but they round that up) ram model is a 2.3ghz processor and are you sure you are reading your ram usage correctly? I have the 2.3 4g ram 64g hd and it shows more than 1 g usable ram left (it's about 1900 to 2000 used on this picture with apps in the background) completely stock. If you are reading correctly it might be the apps your running. In short though your suppose to have higher ram usage and the kernel frees ram as needed when your ram gets too low and that's exactly how proper ram management should work.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

You would clear the ram by pressing the power & boost quicktile or by quick pressing the window swap hw button on the bottom right of your phone and clearing your recent apps.

Here is a pic after clearing the recent apps.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
That's the theory, yeah - RAM on Android should be mostly filled up and then released by the OS as needed depending on use. But for whatever reason on the stock ASUS firmware the OS is not managing RAM effectively - it's taking up too much and not releasing it properly. Mine drops as low as 200MB and then there are very noticeable slow downs. Not sure if this is because of 5.0 memory leaks, or bad RAM management specific to ASUS code. I have had to limit background processes under the developer options in settings to acheive acceptable smooth running.
