Some things to Note

First off I want to say, uggg. It took me nearly 2 hours to catch up on the stuff that was posted in the past few days I was absent. You need to ask the Moderators for your own Forum so people can post New Topics for Questions rather then forcing everyone to post in one Thread. It's getting near impossible to keep track of who's talking about what. And Skimming over the posts I see several People (including myself) never get an answer because their Question is lost in the Torrent of other Posts. Just a Suggestion.

And Now the Other Stuff:

@BugsBunny891 Go to the Nookdevs page for Nookie Froyo Tips for how to Remap the Volume Buttons.

Also it seems the Speed Nookie Froyo runs is highly dependent on the Class of MicroSD you have. However I find that the Normal Browser Downloader for Android (Used by Apps like Market and Browser) is incredibly slow but when I use Firefox Mobile to Download files it's Really fast so I think there's a flaw in Android Downloader somewhere. Whether it's Nookie Froyo specific or what I don't know.

@EVERYONE I highly recommend making a Backup Image of your Nookie Froyo before Updating because you never know if something will go wrong and you screw up something really bad. This practice has already saved me once so you should do it. For help doing this read my previous post:

[HOWTO] Make a Complete Backup of Nookie Froyo

After backing up you can Re-Image Nookie Froyo from your Backup so it's like Nothing Happened and you can try updating again or now that you have everything back just sit out until the Bugs are worked out.

Also @EVERYONE Hardware Media Decoding with Nookie Froyo isn't working yet from what I've been told. Meaning, You can't use the Youtube app or any other Media App. You can use Flash however to watch Youtube(Though the Quality is Questionable) just follow the Steps on the Nookie Froyo Tips page to get it working. Also you can use RockPlayer from the Market to Play some Media although Results will very depending on Format and Quality. I have found that AVIs play quite well with it, also FLVs will play(but with Varying results). Only Low Quality MP4s play any Higher and you'll have Highly Noticeable Lag. RockPlayer will also play Audio, though you can't Rewind, FastForward, or make a Playlist.

Hope this helps some people understand the Common Problems.

Difference in SD Card class speed on Nookie Froyo

I have two name brand MicroSD cards. One is Class 6, the other Class 4. I have installed the same image of Nookie Froyo on both cards.

I can tell you that there is a noticeable difference between the two. The Class 4 lags quite a bit when loading apps, deleting things, and any time you ask it to do anything of substance basically. Although the Class 4 is smooth as butter in the launcher and such, the lag is very apparent at a deeper glance.

The Class 6 card experiences little to no delay doing just about anything. It feels very much responsive in all aspects, and is a very pleasing experience where I never have to think..."gee, what is this thing doing?"

Now wishing I had a Class 10 card around. I highly advise you run Nookie Froyo on a Class 6 card or higher. And don't go for a generic card as it will in all likelihood be a slow and crappy experience.

I could not imagine running Nookie Froyo on a Class 2 card. Seems like it would be painful.
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
I'm having trouble figuring out what class my card is. It was lying around unused so when I heard about Nookie Froyo it's the one I grabbed. Just curious to see what class it is. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
Its on the card, you'll see a number with an incomplete circle around it.

I can't stress enough that this is not intended to criticize the great work done by cicidaman. Having said that:

For those of you using this, is your touch screen responsiveness exactly the same as stock? I've turned off haptic, I'm running 0.5.8 (for the moment, so the cache and refresh fixes should be in there). I've also tried recalibrating. The touchscreen just really seems to still have issues for me that I don't notice in stock. I often have to hold down for quite a while for it to register, but then other times it will pick up very quickly. Often it will miss touches completely.

So....I'm trying to figure out if my device is wonky, if this is normal, or if there's some other setting I need to tweak.

That trick does help a lot.

I just got my 16gb class 10 card today and I have noticed a

huge

speedup in screen response. Media support is still in the future but I have faith in this project.

The OP states, "The eventual intention will be a build that other devs and users can easily fork and create their own custom builds, themes, roms, etc.". That is what I am waiting for! Who out there is working on their own version of this?

EDIT: I got tons of force closes so I am going back to my 8gb class2 (which worked fine) for now. I'm not sure if I did a bad image flash or what. If I figure out something earth shattering I'll report back.
[Nook Color Android Development] toastman74:
i had a SUPER force close session too on mine lol i feel comfortablr doing stuff on my evo but setting up the nook stuff from sd card is harder. ill let the pros handle this one. im going back stock rooted for a while. thanks for the help guys!
[Nook Color Android Development] volwrath:
I just received my 4 gb class 6 card in the mail and decided I would slap 0.5.8 on it since 0.5.9 has a corrupted file of some sort. Any way after windiskimaging it, i put it in the rooted NC and booted up.

During the bootup process the NC goes through some sort of boot looping. First Loading pops up, then android along the left hand side shows up. Then it goes back to Loading and repeats every few seconds.

has anyone seen anything similiar to this? thanks

My cards have the class with a circle around it, I have noticed that if there is no number, it'd probably class 2.

Interesting. I picked up a Patriot Class 10 16GB card at Fry's earlier this week, and was having all kinds of issues with it - boot loops, force closes after I pushed over the Google Apps, etc. Wonder if there's something with their cards? I returned it and got a class 6 from a different vendor, so I'm going to try that this weekend.
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
I wonder if the hardware/Froyo combo is having issues with the speed 10 cards? I was noticing my downloads are really slow compared to stock with the same card. I have a Kingston 16GB Class 10.

Crap. Has anyone been successful with a Class 10 yet? I ordered mine yesterday and would hate to have to send it back for a Class 6.

i bought a class 10 patriot from frys as well... horribly slow. bought a class 4 sandisk and it is running well. will probably order a class 6 sandisk eventually but the class 4 i bought seems fine. the patriot class 10 is going back tomorrow. sucks because it was half the price of the sandisk... oh well
[Nook Color Android Development] TechieMonkey:
how do i get games to work with this??? do i need to create a folder inside of the sd card itself?? i dont really have time to read all of the other posts so im sorry if this has already been asked and answered...
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Sorry if this has been answered before, but this thread is a beast. I have 2 questions.

First, will this wipe out most/all of the BN software? For instance on 2.1 I'm running widgetlocker, but it's obviously just sitting on top of the stock lock screen as it sometimes bugs out and uses stock. Also, the nav bar at the bottom is really annoying and I'd like to completely replace it with something like softkeys on a long home press. Will this build remove that nav bar upon release? At the very least I want to get rid of that stupid white nav arrow that I constantly press when I'm typing.

Second, is the intention for this to ALWAYS boot from an SD card? If so, will the leftover space on the card be usable for normal storage?

Thanks! Sorry if this has been covered. Cant wait for a full release of this :)
[Nook Color Android Development] chhaggerty:
Games can be installed just like any other app, via Market or "sideloaded" They will generally be stored in the /data/app folder which is on the sd card when running Nookie Froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] chhaggerty:
1. All the apps installed on the emmc (internal memory) will be unavailable when running Nookie Froyo. They will still be there when you boot from the emmc. The nav bar is a B&N hack which is not in NF. Softkeys is included to take its place. Button Savior which can be downloaded from Market can also be used for navigation.

2. NF will always run off the sd card, but can be configured to run on the emmc. We will soon see scripts to manage this. The sd card partition with NF can be expanded to use the whole card using gparted in Linux. See info earlier in this thread.

can somebody tell me how to format my sd card back to normal??

i used a 4gb card and after i did a format it only shows 113mb, i believe the froyo files are still there, how can i get my sd card back to 4gb? i dont want nookie froyo on it anymore
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
Your card will need to be repartitioned, not just formatted.

What you're seeing is just the /boot partition that the NF image creates - it's only ~113mb like you're seeing.

You'll need to use a utility such as partition magic (windows) or gparted (linux) to delete the NF partitions and create a new one that fills the disk.
[Nook Color Android Development] sec6:
I've used a utility called panasonic sdformatter v2.0. Under options before formatting, select: format size adjustment on.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] watzone69:
I use EASEUS to manage my partitions. You can repartition your card to be all FAT32 or expand your EXT partitions. Just wipe your card (or delete partitions) and then repartition to FAT32.

MP3 works fine with...

I'm running 0.5.8 and I wanted to let everyone know that mp3's play perfectly fine with MixZing if you simply turn on the EQ (you can leave it flat if you really don't want to hear an EQ). This forces software decoding which the nook can do with it's eyes closed.
[Nook Color Android Development] YertletheTurtle:
My experience so far:

Running 0.5.8 on Transcend class 6 4Gig. Used EASUS to expand SDcard.

Installed gapps, youtube and flash 10.1.

1. I was never able to get youtube to function despite multiple deletions, data wipes with Titanum backup. (Program opens but after clicking to play the video, it states "Sorry, unable to open.").

2. Today I have had multiple random resets that would lead to a reboot but interestingly, it re-booted to the stock 2.1 (which is rooted on my Nook). Cause of this? This could be related to recent installation of Dropbox or Xdadeveloper app (which also FCs after trying to open a thread). The other possibility that I am more suspicious of is the removal of Phone.apk, mms apk etc.

3. Other than this recent problem with reboots, I am very impressed with Nookie Froyo and was using it on a regular basis. I appreciate the work done so far!

hey love what your doing with rom.

i put rom on sd card booted NC and it loaded it n worked fine was playing around but ran across issue wifi wouldn't connect to htc evo hotspot.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how I get back to the 2.1 the came with Auto Nooter, or even back to stock?

I can't currently boot anything but Nookie Froyo. Anything else leaves me stuck at the "Touch the future of reading" screen.

EDIT: I worked it out. All is well now. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] bfhunt2009:
Re: #1, My configuration is very much like yours (transcend 8GB, EASEUS to expand sdcard) and I have the same issue.

Re: #2, when you boot into stock 2.1, can it see the sdcard? Your issues sound like a flakey card to me, though FWIW I have not removed Phone.apk or Mms.apk, and my system has been rock solid.
[Nook Color Android Development] loganthered:
Here's how I got my SD card to function properly.

fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
select p to print your partition table and confirm you have 4 partitions.

press d and select partition 4

press n then p to create a new partition, accept the default cylinders it provides to get the largest space possible.

press t and select partition 4

for the hex code just type b

press w to save the changes (it may give you an error)

Now just go back to your SD Card and Phone Storage menu and hit the Mount button. Voila!

Following Geniusdog254's work on the 2.1 overclocked kernel, is there any reason why somebody cannot make the same kernel for this Froyo build? I would take a stab at it, but I have no idea where to start (in terms of code repositories, and compiling the code).

I have seen a real difference from the 950 overclock on 2.1, and can only imagine that 2.2 would get the same benefit..
[Nook Color Android Development] bfhunt2009:
I use an 8GB class 6 Transcend card. NF runs very nicely on it. No random reboots or freezes. Performance is good. I had lots of problems with a 4GB PNY (class 2 I think). Very sluggish - borderline unusable.

Can anyone whom is running nookie from emmc share their knowledge and experience and shed some light. My experience so far is ok, although I can not get sdcard to mount. Everything else seems to work great and it feels responsive and smooth.

Once this has been perfected maybe we can impalement in an "Update.zip" format so it can be flashed via Clock work recovery.

I am curious what the pain point is w/r/t putting a Froyo ROM together that can be restored to eMMC via Clockwork Recovery. Is there some way the non-devs out there can help?
[Nook Color Android Development] runhopskipjump:
Well I had nookie Froyo running off the emmc. It is fast but the current clockwork recovery wasn't compatible with it. Nookie froyo would boot fine but clockwork recovery wouldn't. Also YouTube, opera or any other program which rely on video hardware decoding didn't work. After realizing this I went back to stock by putting the stock 2.1 files back on the /boot and doing 8 interupted boot to revert back to stock ram. It was also bugging the hell out of me the stock had a overclocked kernal so that also played a factor in me going back to stock. I read that cm7 is being ported to the nook so just hold off for now. Trust me it is fing annoying when you can't use YouTube or play videos. I have a post on how I got froyo t the emmc. If done properly you can always boot off of MicroSd to restore stock file back to /boot to return to stock but I don't recommend it to those whom just want a fully functioning nook.

Boot your nook without the microsd card in it. After booting insert your microsd into the nook and go to you settings. Under settings select your device info, then select sd card, unmount it and finally format it. Now your microsd card should be back to normal.

give Nookie Froyo it's own Sub-Forum? This Thread is getting close to 50 pages and 500 posts and it's near impossible for Newcomers to find posts related to tbeir questions. Also , at 3-5 pages every 1-2 days it's getting hard to keep up with/keep track of what's going on and I notice many people that don't get a reply because of this.
