Hey guys.

I rooted a few days ago using supernooter2.0. Then used autonook_0.8 to get market gmail and youtube working.

So far everythings working as desired but i don't have the android calendar.

I know Autonook 2.xx includes it...but id rather not go through all that unnecessarily.

Can someone post the calendar apk.

Is that all i need to get calendar working?

Is Setcpu safe?

I see conflicting reports on other threads, so I thought that I would ask here. Is Setcpu safe to use on the nook? I have it set to min=600, max=800 and on demand, set on boot.

I'm particularly worried about the "set on boot" as some have suggested that it could cause problems.

Nookie Froyo SD 0.6.8 Customized Reboots Back Into Stock On It's Own

I'm running Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 on Sandisk 8gb Ultra burnt with recommended software and 4th partition expanded with EASEUS. OCed to 1000mhz with SetCPU

and mainly running Kindle App. Nook shuts down and when I turn it back on, with the SD still in the slot it completely ignores it and boots into Stock OS.

Anyone else ever had this happen?

Quick bluetooth question here:

For those who understand the protocol and stock OS image: What are the chances of developing an App for a stock rooted Nook Color that would enable bluetooth, say for a keyboard?

I like the capabilities of the stock rooted Nook, but do think that the ability to pair with a keyboard would be sweet icing on the cake.

Sure check out racks11479's thread for a good number of choices for bootable SDcard roms so that you can leave your Nook Stock but be able to run differnt versions by popping in a specially configured Sdcard...

I've had the my best luck with KingMax 8GB Class-10 sdards that you can get reasonably priced on buy.com... no where near the cheapest BUT they make the difference between being disappointed with the performance and actaully getting better performance than I was getting burning some versions to the Nook internal memory...

File Transfer Seems Slow

Running CM7 (nightly 37) from SD Card - runs very nicely but file transfer from PC to SD Card seems very slow. No matter if I use WiFi File Explorer or USB transfer using the UMS utility it seems slow.

For example, transferring two ~800 Mb files takes almost 15 minutes, so:

Is that normal? or is it slow and maybe a way to speed things up?

Is it purely a function of the Nook hardware or a limitation of CM7
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
There's a 64 byte header you have to cut off of uRamdisk/uRecRam:

$ dd if=uRamdisk of=uRamdisk.cpio.gz bs=64 skip=1
$ gunzip uRamdisk.cpi.gz
$ cpio -i -F uRamdisk.cpio

Didn't actually try that, but that's the idea.

The reverse requires mkimage (part of u-boot) for the header:

$ cd ramdisk
$ find . -regex "./.*"| cpio -ov -H newc | gzip > ../repacked-ramdisk.cpio.gz
$ mkimage -A ARM -T RAMDisk -n Image -d ../repacked-ramdisk.cpio.gz ../uRamdisk

Auto-Nooter

Hi,

Sorry to be a bother, but...

1. What version (and how do I find it on the nook) is the install I did Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 (1.1 only)? Works great by the way thank you.

2. What must I do to upgrade to the new BnN 1.2 OTA upgrade for this version?

Is a wipe needed?
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
I believe there are autonooters for both 1.1 and the previous version. Not for 1.2 though. Find the device info in settings to see what version you have.

So you don't have CWM on the EMMC and the 1.2 update hasn't been pushed to your Nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] tom123il:
I think that is my confusion. There are sooooo many flavors of roots, rooting? It is hard for me to find what one I need to do in order to keep current. I was looking at the Manual-Nooter, but unable to tell if mine was compatible for this update. CWM, EMMC, BYOB, all are a bit much. :) Is there a glossary I can look at to get the lingo?

Thank you much.
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
Dunno about a glossary but I can define a couple for you:

- CWM = ClockworkMod Recovery, the standard recovery software for the Nook Color (NC, a.k.a. Encore); must be "booted into" either by inserting the SD card and rebooting nook or pressing the "N" button while booting nook.

- EMMC = the internal memory of your NC; split up into several partitions which house different components of your operating system and user data.

- ROM = a version of Android cooked up for a particular device; may be any of several versions usually referred to by their codenames (i.e. cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo, gingerbread or honeycomb); see Wikipedia for more on Android versions.

- kernel = the core of any operating system but Android's kernel is based on linux; this can be modified and updated by end-users to enable new features such as overclocking of the CPU above the stock 800 mHz cap or the enabling of bluetooth.

- CM7 = CyanogenMod 7; a full version of Android developed by a team of developers that has been ported to a great many mobile devices. This is contrasted against the "stock" B&N operating system which was a crippled/stripped/heavily-modified version of Android.

CWM can be installed on a microSD card or it can be installed on the EMMC.

ROM Manager is an app associated with CWM that can be used to flash new ROMs or kernels from within Android instead of booting into recovery, but CWM must be on the EMMC for this to work. Many people prefer this method because there's no need to swap SD cards or have an extra just for flashing new ROMs or kernels.

I don't run the stock B&N ROM on my NC, opting instead for one of the CM7 release candidates. I do not prefer to have CWM on the EMMC since it has to be removed if I ever find the need to revert back to a stock distribution and that is an extra step I don't care to take.

You need to look in the settings/device info to see what version of the B&N ROM you have. I've been so long off the stock ROM that I can't give you the step-by-step to get there.
[Nook Color Android Development] tom123il:
Thank you very much. That helps me quite a bit. And in your case you don't have to BYOB...it's on me. :)

Resizing eMMC partitions

I have the "old" Nook Color with the original partition layout - 1GB for data and the rest for /media. I'd like to give the /data partition an extra gig at the expense of /mnt/emmc. Well, ideally I'd love to give the entire internal memory to /data, but I hear ClockworkMod recovery has issues with ext4 partitions larger than 2GB.

Are there any guides on how to accomplish this? It probably goes something like this:

Run Titanium and backup all user apps/data.

Reboot to recovery and take a NANDROID backup.

Wipe data, cache, and dalvik (maybe /system too?)

Issue a bunch of commands via ADB to re-size the partitions. (a.k.a. "magic")

Reboot to recovery once more, flash CM, gapps, kernel, etc.

Boot normally, restore apps via Titanium, and reboot one more time for great justice.

???

Profit.

I'd like to know the commands for step #4.

HOWTO question

I have been trying to set up a build environment for CM7, the cm-kernel, and Dalingrins OC kernel. I want to use them as a learning tool and see if I can develop some network management tools for the NC.

So far I have the CM7 build working and the Kernel builds working, but every time I try to build a wireless driver I cannot get one that works. I can build both the wlan.ko at sta_dk_4_0_4_32 and the tiwlan_drv.ko at Wilink_6_1 under android/system in the CM7 tree but the first one does not seem to work and the second one generates a number of warnings for unresolved symbols. I think the Wilink is the one I need, but I just cannot make it work.

I suspect that the kernel config I am using :confused:may be the problem. I pulled both from running kernels, but so far I cannot get a working Wireless driver for my self-built kernels..

I also posted the same question in the thread for Dal's OC kernel, so I apologize for the double post.. Help ??

Could anyone provide insturctions and/or the current config files for both kernels ?

Fixing -just- the non-rotating epub reader on the NC.

I don't even know if this can be done, but maybe someone can take up the challenge:

The issue: Using the default 'Adobe reader' that comes built-in to the Nook Color, when reading ePub books there is no way to rotate the screen so you can read in landscape mode. For whatever reason, in their infinite wisdom the Nook developers have locked the thing into portrait mode...though the Nook will easily rotate in other applications. Of course, rotating the screen is easily done in the free android market apps, so who knows why BN decided to disable or not enable it.

Two solutions might fix this:

A) Perhaps one of you smart developers could build a patch or simple fix that would enable screen rotation when reading ePub books on a stock Nook? The average owner who doesn't know about ADB or rooting, or doesn't want to go that far, can't even painlessly side-load a different reader app, so whatever fix or patch was made would have to be-very- user friendly.

B) Following the same idea in "A"...maybe a small executable file could be made that would run on a pc or laptop, and that would detect the Nook color when plugged in via the USB cable. Then the user would choose a selected .apk file and the executable would simply copy it into the /system/apps folder on the Nook. This would at least give the average user a very quick way to load another reader app onto their Nook, one that would rotate the screen.

BN seems to want things to only be in portrait mode when reading books, which gets to be a problem if images or other items need to be flipped sideways.

Thanks,

JT
[Nook Color Android Development] Speeddymon:
The problem with your idea of making it simple (therefore not require root) is that you cannot detect the nook, let alone connect to it, let alone copy files to /system (at all) without root. Without root, you cannot enable USB debugging which is required for ADB to work. Without root, you cannot remount /system to read/write. Sending an email to B&N to request it for the next software release is the only solution.

Stock *on top* of AOSP?

tldr summary:

How difficult would it be to port the stock launcher and a few selected other bits from the stock interface to AOSP?

/tldr

Taking from an idea someone else had to dual boot off the eMMC, and being a (newb) dev (for Thunderbolt mind you), I'm curious just how much effort it would take to port (via disassembly) the stock reader interface from 1.2 and put it on top of any AOSP build, such as CM7?

Essentially, I hate the Nook android app, but I love the actual UI that the nook comes with stock (not the browser, just the shelf system, launcher, etc). What I would like to see done is to have a stock nook build rooted, and then have CM7 (or any other AOSP build) be installed as the underlying framework- That's the appearance to the typical user (this would give us Gingerbread, Bluetooth, and USB Host with the stock interface, for example, which is exactly what I want)... Of course the real dev would know that its not that CM7 is installed under the stock interface, but the other way around, CM7 would be used as the base (just as the actual B&N devs used FroYo and made their mods to that), with the proprietary parts ported over...

I don't even necessarily want all of the proprietary stuff (the volume indicator? sucks balls); I just want to have CM7 but keep some of the stock interface so that it still looks more or less like a Nook and I can bring up the stock launcher instead of ADW when I want to read rather than surf.

Dual boot from SD card, and stock ROM puts files in /boot partition ...

Hey, first post in the Nook section - got a new Nook, and had it upgraded to the stock 1.3 ROM the first night.

Soon after, I got a 16GB microSD and installed CM7.1 on it. Got that running well, and then tried booting into the stock 1.3 on the eMMC.

Curious thing happened - in the stock ROM, the "SD card inserted" has a size of 116 MB, and is showing all the CM boot files. I'm presuming it does this because /boot is the first partition on the disk.

Is there any way of hiding the first three CM partitions from the stock ROM, and have it look at the last "SD Card" one?

And though I searched, all I found re: Dual Boot were the how-to threads.
