Thank you developer. I have been looking for a "compiler farm" to automate my kernel builds. I am running windows with cygwin and will see if I can bootstrap that in.

I think most of the developers here are not even aware of what a "compiler farm" is. Never heard it mentioned until you name dropped that app, and I lurked up in this forum for a year. That or they are withholding that information. Which would not be surprising. Most compiler farms I looked into were outdated. Noticed most of android tools on-line are developed towards the Java Framework on top of the kernel base.

~~~~~~~~~~

Not sure on this but the developers are using what is called an "andbot" for their builds in here, not sure if it uses cloud service, servers or not. It does not mention it so. I think they are building on individual servers. Here is the link. https://github.com/jyio/andbot
[Nook Color Android Development] Tiezane:
Basically, yeah, it would be my own little compile farm in my house, just to speed up my own building. I found an article that talks about how to setup distcc, and basically you static link it to cc, so it gets called instead. Then the host system handles all the Precompiling and distribution of tasks to the other systems.

http://m.linuxjournal.com/article/9814

Does anyone have more experience with this? I think I'm going to try to give it a shot this weekend and see what happens...

Hi Developers,

I would like to know if there's anyone interested in application development for Android Pads.

The project consists in creating or adapting(if exists) two main applications to control time usage and password protect the devices.

The applications must run in Android OS and as to be compatible with this Pads:

Amazon Kindle Fire

Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD, 8.9" Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire 2

BN Nook Simple Touch

Samsung Galaxy Tab

And other Android Pads

Please contact me if you have any interest or questions and yes it's well payed. ;)

[Nook Color Android Development] {davros}:
is it possible to flash the og operating Nook color system? go back to stock as it were
[Nook Color Android Development] Speeddymon:
Yes. I believe there is a stock restore thread in here somewhere.
[Nook Color Android Development] {davros}:
hmm ok so using this ...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26719324&postcount=184

and this method to flash it with CWM

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26719324&postcount=184

it flashed and boots up then when it starts it says

Reboot required

your nookcolor has encountered a problem that requires a system restart.

if this problem persists please contact coustomer service.

nook will reboot and same message pops up every time....

any ideas ?
[Nook Color Android Development] Speeddymon:
Did you factory reset with CWM? It likely just needs to be factory reset with the default recovery image. Taking it back to full stock should have restored the B&N recovery image also, so if you still have CWM, then you'll need to get the default recovery image back as well. Once you do that, then it will factory reset on its own if the device fails to boot 8 times in a row.

If you did go back to full stock including the recovery, then you can force it to fail to boot by powering it off completely (hold power for 10+ seconds) while the system is in the middle of booting. Do that 8 times and it'll factory reset. If it still isn't working properly, then something else is wrong and you may want to try putting the stock OS onto an SD card. There's a thread for that as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] {davros}:
i didint do recovery CWM is still there i factory reset threw it but same results. so i need to flash the B&N stock recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] Speeddymon:
Yes. CWM is designed to format the data partition how cyanogenmod and other custom roms like for it to be formatted. The Nook recovery will get it back the way it belongs.

Do you recall if you ever resized the EMMC? If you did, then you will need to find the thread that has the walkthrough to get it back to the default EMMC size of 5gb.
[Nook Color Android Development] {davros}:
i do not remember it was so long ago. hmm ok i need to find the stock recovery then

Need Help

I was wondering if any one could help me with an issue I have struggled with for awhile now. My nook was running fine a few years ago then it just stopped boot up fully. Now anytime a flash a new rom it just boots back to CWM. Not sure how to fix this issue. Any input would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] polymath257:
Have you held the n key down while booting? That should give you an option of booting into either 'normal' or 'recovery'. If it doesn't what doe sit say?

unable to install applications off the market.

I got the market, gmail, youtube and such running. however when i go to install apps off the market it just says starting download. never goes any farther. I used to have this problem with my phone when i was connected to wifi instead of 3g. Does any one know a fix for this?
[Nook Color Android Development] pulse4J:
does update require reinstall of all apps?

Hi, I was just wondering. If you have a rooted nook, and then you update it to 1.01, does that mean you have reinstall all your apps? Or when you reroot it, do they all just appear again?

I want to use a SNES emulator and am concerned about my save games getting wiped. Any suggestions?

thx!
[Nook Color Android Development] RickHouTX:
Is the "Install ADB" step is absolutely neccesary?

Is the "Install ADB" step of the root process absolutely neccesary? Or is it just optional? That step of the root (or followup) looks the most intimidating.

If I don't "Install ADB", what functionality to I lose?
[Nook Color Android Development] zdrifter:
First, if your NC is now rooted you will be unable to update to 1.01 until you factory reset and data wipe. Yes, you will need to reinstall your apps.

If you haven't already, you should install Astro or Titanium backup and backup all your apps and data (only the ones you installed). Be sure the backup directory is on the SD card. Only then should you do the factory reset and data wipe.

After that you can install the update and use Auto-Nooter to reroot. Then put the SD card with the backed up apps in, reinstall them using Astro of TiBackup and you'll be good ....
[Nook Color Android Development] hardknock:
I've successfully rooted my Nook Color and couldn't be more happy with it! Question: Is there a way to install Samsung Galaxy Tab apps? Like the Calender program that comes preinstalled? Just curious. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] norkoastal:
That particular app would most likely need to be ported to use.. We are currently using a hack method to force calendar sync, so any "skin app" like the Gtab app may have to be tweaked to work on the NC.. Look for the Feisty Noodle thread for the calendar sync hack.
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
I love my rooted NC (and crossing fingers it doesn't reset on me automatically again).

I have one wish that I would like to see worked out: could it be possible to make the NC even less bright? When I read in bed with the lights out and lower brightness to the min, it's still too bright IMHO, and I hear a lot of complaining from the person to my right. Can anything be worked out using ADB?
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
Never mind. Found a solution on another thread: downloaded AdjBrightness from Market.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rotordroid:
If you updated the SDK you probably lost the ini file containing the device ID.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rotordroid:
There are no indications of download like there is on an Android phone. You will get a notification icon once it is installed however.
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
Spoke too early. AdjBrightness doesn't really work well in rooted NC. It does change brightness, but problems start when NC goes into sleep mode or is put into sleep mode by soft pressing power button. For a few seconds screen goes blank but backlight stays on, then NC just shuts off and needs power button long press twice to start again.

Question to the devs (or can someone relay the query, please): can something be worked out to recalibrate the brightness bar so that the lowest setting reads 3 or 4, rather than 30 as I believe it is set at now? Thanx.

PS: I say 3 or 4 because when I set brightness to those values using AdjBrightness, the page could still be read and was dimmed enough, whereas a value of 2 was too low and the page could barely be discerned in a darkened room.

Removing a gmail account???

Hey here is another question: How can you remove a gmail account that you have added already to the device. It shows up in gmail and I can add as much as I want but cannot remove them. Account options reboots the nook and long pressing does nothing. I have looked around at the db files for gmail, but I can't find a respectable editor on windows to edit them. Maybe you guys have already figured out what files to change or if there is an easy way. Maybe an app? thanks for your help!
[Nook Color Android Development] hypoxichypoxic:
@italiano1964, for the brightness, check out Screen Filter in the market. so far its been working well for me and can be dimmed all the way down to pretty much black. hth, ymmv
[Nook Color Android Development] hypoxichypoxic:
Hosts file edit?

Haven't been able to find info on this anywhere so far, has anyone been able to successfully edit their hosts file to allow it to block particular urls? I'm thinking with something like this (someonewhocares .org/hosts) as a base I can block a lot of unwanted traffic w/o having to install browser specific ad blockers.

update: found this app that at least inputs an updated hosts file with tons of known android and other ad offenders that seem to be working ok http://www.appbrain.com/app/adfree-android/com.bigtincan.android.adfree, still would prefer to edit directly though if anyone has a workaround.
[Nook Color Android Development] hungry4cheese:
Ok so I did a little messing around in the /data/ folder and I found the way to do it. You should leave one Gmail account at the end so you don't screw up the market. What you do is go into /data/system/ and edit accounts.db with an editor of your choice. You can even do it straight on the device through root explorer and the sqlite editor it requires. Open the file and delete the accounts you want to delete and then close it. I did a reboot after and the accounts disappeared from Gmail and YouTube and Gtalk. Gtalk now won't launch if you deleted the main account so you need to go into youtube, sign in again, then re-add the account in gmail and possibly Gtalk if it asks again. I had to do that a couple of times to get it to work, but now everything works. I also updated to the new market after thanks to another post :)
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
Thanx! It works quite well.

How do you get the uSD card to go back to it's original state? Mine says 39MB capacity in Windows when it's a 2GB card.

[Nook Color Android Development] markiejones:
Curious about video codec support. The device seemingly has the muscle to playback standard divx/xvid videos, yet only supports mpeg4/h.264 natively. When a 3rd party player is employed (rockplayer eg), it attempts to play the files with sw and it's quite choppy. It seems as if codec support is actually a lower-level item (hardware? kernel?) - example Archos 70 seems to be quite adept at formats, even HD formats. Is there hope for improving this via custom ROM / hack etc?
[Nook Color Android Development] starkruzr:
I think our best hope for this is going to be overclocking that lets the device stop stuttering during sw decoding.

short cut to manual power off

with many issues i have seen with the manual power off button is it possable that there can be a short cut created so that instead of the power of being activated with the button it could be on the screen ? i know you will still need to manually turn it on but it less wear and tear .

or is there a way to remap the power on button to another just to power on then it revert to its normal function . still manual stress on the button

would prefer a short cut on screen thanks

going to try Power Control Plus (widget) when i get home but would judt really like a short cut to drop in the dock .
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
Other Button Works Also..

First, you can download Quick Boot from the Market (need root) - this will let you turn off the NC from the screen (as well as reboot) and saves much wear and tear.

Second, I rarely turn mine off - just let it sleep and then any key (volume, Nook, etc) will wake it up

Missing APK Files?

I am missing a couple of apk files, I think. Would someone mind checking in your system/app folder and see if you have the files "contacts.apk" and "contactsprovider.apk". I am having difficulty storing any email contacts on my nook. I use the native email app (not gmail). Have tried K9 and Touchdown (my 3 email accounts or all "pop" accounts). I have tried contact widgets, dialer apps and any other possible storage option. I have transferred contacts from my phone by .vcf file to my sd card and tried to import them to the nook, but no storage area is apparently found. I have located a contacts database file under data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db, but it is empty. By the way, I have tried to push those two apk files from several different sources, but no luck. I am not sure if those are device or rom specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there something else I have to do first?

[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Okay, help is still appreciated. If someone could just look and see if you have the two apk files mentioned in previous post in your system/app folder that would be helpful.

Syncing sideloaded books with other platform apps

I'm sure that syncing the NC & my NC4PC goes back to the B&N server for the sync but it would be nice in a rooted NC to have some way to sync the NC with the NC4PC app (or other app like my Droid), at least with the current book 'latest read position'. And while you're at it, syncing all my sideloaded books would also be neat. :)

When you reboot the device, the boot screen will be different and there will be a little android guy in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You may also try to download something from the market. It should be there if you are rooted.

This would be what just about everyone wants. For me, I also desparately want Flash and Bluetooth. And the Bluetooth should allow me to use my Bluetooth headphones, of course. And, preferably also my Bluetooth GPS.

Another thing that would really make the CN rock, big time, would be a driver for an HD WebCam, like Logitech's. Using the USB port, or course. If I had all these things, I'd never upgrade again.
