Hey all, here's what I got:

Tried to flash using the .zip file from OP,

it hung on "Install Froyo".

I reinstalled again using CWR, it went through the 2nd time, but was stuck on "ANDROID _" flashing in the corner.

Once I was in Froyo, I thought I could get away with using the packed HoneycombGAppsInstall - WRONG!! Market would open just fine, but NOT download, ie, "Download Unsuccessful". Use the ones from NookDevs Froyo Tips instead!

YouTube works once I push the YouTube from NookDevs Froyo Tips. Yay hardware acceleration!! My Quadrant scores are lower (now running at 1189 on the FroyoTest1000mHz Kernel, it used to run around 2000! on .59 version).

Off to Try Pandora now and will report back.

Cicada, thanks for the hard work!! It's much appreciated!!

edit: It seems that the Vending 2_2_1_1.apk also might be having issues installing. It installs just fine, but when I try to download anything, it just gives up and won't even attempt to show that it's downloading.
[Nook Color Android Development] volwrath:
Flashed fine, Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:

Do you mean that it isn't showing up or that it shows up and then goes away?

Also, is there any way to increase the size of the notifications whenever you pull the shade down?

I mean that it mounts and then goes away
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Quick silly question - Assuming you have a good nandroid back, this install is reversible, correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] MaSt3rGrIfF:
Sound

I've been listening to some music through .6.6 and it sounds like the sound only plays one side of the stereo image through the internal speaker (rather than mixing both channels together) and that the stereo image is flipped when going out of the headphone out. Hope this can help, great work on this rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
The one issue I've consistently seen, is that /system/bin/mediaserver after boot seems to max out the processor....

[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
just installed. had fun trying to get adb working but it finally gave in and found the nook.

nice work :)

i would say it just needs the sd card fix and pleeeeeeease at least include a basic file manager (there is an open source one) so that we can get some apps installed without market. haven't tested much yet but it seems to be pretty smooth and stable.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
Update: killing mediaserver solves the issue....though does not target the reason the process hangs in the first place.....
[Nook Color Android Development] sec6:
I wouldn't use this kernel as it breaks youtube, flash, and streaming audio. Is there any way to get a flashable version of the kernel that came with froyo 6.6? I need to revert back to what works. Either that or I have to reflash the whole system. This refers to the kernel a page back.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Findings with new Nookie

Other feedback:

After a complete reinstall and a couple of reboots youtube and mp3 are working. Have not verified through stereo yet if left & right are reversed.

OC kernel is working as well. Boost is not great. Stock was getting about 1000 with 1100 ghz was getting 13-1350. These are definitely slower than previous versions of nookie where I was hitting close to 2000. Also quadrant often craps out on either the h.264 or aac test in cpu test......

And yes wiped dalvik cache.

Slingplayer works!!!!!

Would love to get rid of the no service and cell icons and I know somone was working on putting menu and back keys on status bar. Not sure how that worked out but those would really make this build great!
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
Oddly, the oc kernel does not break it...unless you count the hanging media server....and I had that with the stock kernel that comes with nookie froyo. I'll have a copy of the stock kernel up in a few minutes.

Edit: Done, here is the kernel that comes with nookie froyo 0.6.6:

Flashed Froyo

I was able to flash Froyo and boot just fine.

Observations:

No sdcard

No clockwork recovery

Noticeable lag in screen response.

Not a criticism just my observation.

Thanks for everyone's hard work on making progress on the Froyo build. I have tried compiling the source myself and can't even get the simplest build to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] xenithorb:
Same issue here, this has rendered 0.6.6 unusable for me. I'd be more specific but it's literally exactly the same.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I think the sdcard and media folders not mounting are due to some missing lines in init.rc. If that is the case, the ramdisk needs to be rebuilt. I am looking for some other opinions before I attempt to rebuild it seeing that I have never did it before.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Quick Q: Since CWR doesn't work, I used the bootable CWR to flash the overclock, Since this is an old kernel, it gave me the damaged sd card error. Any way around this?
[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
Anyone else having issues upgrading Market and then not being able to download/install applications? Also, Cicada, any reasoning on the lower Quadrant scores? Thank you so much for your time/work! Just curious about Quadrant; thanks!

ps. Pandora installed and working with the gapps version of market found on nookdevs/froyotips! Another REALLY cool feature is the new maps that gives rotation to the 3D!

edit: I can't spell, apparently.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
Odd.....because the installable CWR does work for me with nookie froyo. I did not try rootpack. You may want to install clockwork mod onto your nook and try that.

All I can tell is replacing the vold files with older ones from around page 55 fixes the issue. I would look in that area.
[Nook Color Android Development] huemedia:
Thanks for the great rom. Wondering how to remove the phone.apk. I can't find it in system/apps and I know its not great for the battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] sec6:
Thank you. This froyo build is awesome! Does everything.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
There should be no problem using my overclocked kernel with Froyo 0.6.6. From talking with cicada there were no changes to the kernel made.
[Nook Color Android Development] stevja1:
Having same problems. Here are my thoughts:

1. Didn't work. My SD Card is jacked up though. Also, mmcblkp08 isn't mounting automatically either, which is weird. (On mine, that's the 5gb/8gb internal storage partition for my music/books/etc)

2. I just use the CWR on the SD card to do stuff - seems to work well. I can understand why you'd want it on internal memory though.

3. The lag for me was being caused by freaking mediaserver freaking going freaking insane. After boot, I have to adb in and kill it. Android starts it back up, but it doesn't freak out anymore. I'm suspicious that this is related to the SD Card issue. I'll let you know after I do the page 55 hack.

4. Sometimes, after being asleep for a while, it doesn't wake up and I gotta power it completely off and power it back on. Is this the sleep of death issue I keep hearing about? I can still shell into the thing and mess with the OS on a command line level - the display seems to just stop working.

For what its worth, this rom has tons of potential. I applaud the work done so far. I hope you continue to make some good fixes and keep up with regular releases. :) Gingerbread is exciting, but this Froyo/Honeycomb is probably what we'll be running on these things unless some major strides are made.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Don't say that...We want cicada to get his Froyo rom stable so we can have his undivided attention CM7/Gingerbread and beyond. :p
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
no gapps

Hi all,

I have posted this on androidcentral forum, but figured I'll have a better chance if I ask here also and your thoughts are most appreciated also. BTW I am running Nookie from SD 0.6.6 version. I did the section I quoted below(from Nook Devs instructions) and it all goes smoothly but when NC reboots, nothing seems changed. No apps installed. All apks look like being pushed correctly...here is a snippet of last few command lines:

"push: C:\Programs\Nookie\system/CarHomeLauncher.apk -> system/CarHomeLauncher.ap

k

push: C:\Programs\Nookie\system/CarHomeGoogle.apk -> system/CarHomeGoogle.apk

33 files pushed. 0 files skipped.

976 KB/s (21531842 bytes in 21.531s)"

"

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

adb push "C:\Programs\Nookie\system" system/

adb reboot

"

I tried also without quotes ("C:\Programs\Nookie\system") and it was same outcome.
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
some apps do not install for me (weatherbug, orange diary etc), it says missing libraries and checking logcat, there seems to be a problem with google maps. anyone else?
[Nook Color Android Development] stevja1:
You may be pushing these to the wrong place. When I install them one at a time, I have to push them to /system/app/.
[Nook Color Android Development] stevja1:
Apologies - I keep mixing up Honeycomb/Gingerbread.

What I meant to say was - Honeycomb is exciting, but Froyo/Gingerbread is likely what we'll be running on these as daily drivers. I agree with you completely.
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
hey stevja, thanks for the reply. I did think about this, but figured nookdevs instructions would be correct and didn't want to try /system/app until I asked. This confims it. Thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
That's exactly what I surmised. I just made the stock zip so anyone could go back to the non oc kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
I can confirm that mediaserver still freaks out with the page 55 vold.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Interesting.. where do these files come from?
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
The nookdevs page is correct. The example you are looking at also links to a zip file with apks in the correct relative directory.

YouTube,Pandora issues with URamdisk!

@ OP I attempted to unpack the Ramdisk to make the edits to reflect the changes in Nookie Froyo .66 however when issuing commands:

i get: uRamdisk not in gzip format

premature end of archive.

Can you please tell me how you packed the RamDisk. Thanks. I am trying to modify init.rc

it seems the dual boot.sh uses an old uFRam. I am trying to update the current one. Please help!

Diggin deeper I found one major difference between the init.rc in the previous version and the .66.

0.6.6 has:# Permissions for setting the DSP Frequency

chown media root /sys/power/dsp_freq

chmod 0660 /sys/power/dsp_freq

where

.5.9 has:# Permissions for setting the DSP Frequency

chown media root /sys/power/dsp_freq

and looking in sys/power i did not find dsp_freq which seems to be the key to enabling youtube and pandora on dual boot and SDCard images. OP please chime in, I may be totally wrong.
[Nook Color Android Development] ZeroSX:
dd if=uRamdisk of=ramdisk.cpio.gz bs=64 skip=1

Then proceed to gunzip and cpio.

Check the nookdevs wiki
[Nook Color Android Development] kassemja:
I think this could be the cause of youtube / pandora issues. i know uRamdisk source is included with nookie base files, has anyone made up a new uRamdisk for internal emmc? if so can you please post, i think this should go in OP along with some clear instructions on sd install and internall emmc installs. Personally i think we should make proper thread for nookie from internal emmc, we should only use dd images less as there no errors this way.

Also i don't know anyone noticed that flashing CWM image stuffed my serial number, so i could not register rockplayer, as serial was showing null, the only was i could fix it was to factory restore nook firmware and start over again.

I decided to install the OC kernal, so in the process I cleared cache and dalvik. After that Pandora plays nicely.

[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
I urge you all to read the OP carefully, especially for the CWM zip.

Please avoid using 'vold fixes' that push files to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 - this is *not* the /system partition on the internal memory - that's /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 - in addition, this was *corrected with the proper version* in all the NF 0.6.6 variants. Also, 'vold.conf' is not used in Froyo at all.

The references to 'dsp_freq' have been removed because that file *does not exist*, this is not the cause of Youtube issues.

I have a feeling in some cases the /boot files are not being updated properly when flashing via CWM - I tried to make the zip as 'foolproof' as possible but CWM does have it's bugs. If you flash and you have the SD card or Youtube issues, reboot into CWM and flash again, being careful to choose the right zip from your SD card - you should not need to wipe data/factory in this case.

Thanks to everyone who's posted me logcats, it's been enlightening - I could use some dmesg captures from anyone who is having these issues as well!
[Nook Color Android Development] teknikk7:
Wow, this is my third time asking. Maybe I am asking the wrong question? What I want to know is if this flashes to the quick memory where it belongs or is it flashed to the internal storage card?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Cicada has two versions. One that runs off of the internal eMMC and one that runs off of the sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
No offense, but you need to do some research about your nook color if you're interested in these type of questions.

There is no fastboot/nand on the NC - it uses an internal MMC card ( eMMC ) only. We do not have the traditional 'boot' memory that most smartphones utilize.

SD Card?

so does the SDcard mount & is it usable on the flashable EMMC version .66 of this?
[Nook Color Android Development] -Michael_:
Hello All!! Just picked up a nook and am loving it. I like what i see here and want to flash this but after reading every page in the thread I've got a little confused.. please correct me but this how I was going to attack the install:

I've rooted my nook already (bone stock). So I downloaded nookie-froyo-flashable-0.6.6.zip slapped it on a known good sd card, now I'm going to reboot with the card in to cwm and wipe everything; THEEN flash it like any other rom change on a android.. now this peticular package "nookie-froyo-flashable-0.6.6.zip" is going to install to the eMMC correct?

That make sense? We don't have a dedicated recovery partiton so cwm lives with the rom image right?

Just want to make sure I got all my ducks in a row.

Thanks for the help!

Are We BetaTesters?

Ive flashed many roms, rooted & flashed many devices (TILT, TILT2, IPHONE3, IPHONE4, NEXUS ONE, & NOW NOOK COLOR, with WM6,WM7, IOS3, & IOS4, Android 2.0,.2.1, 2.2, & honeycomb but I find the Nook learning curve steeper than all the rest. Am I wrong or is the Nook just a DEV toy at the moment? I cant seem to get a straight answer to simplest questions without having to read 5 thread over 50 pages long. This was never the case before & with other devices, or are we still so far ahead that I should have just waited a few months to purchase a Nook Color. If so I will return to the Nexus forums until stability, uniformity, & COMPLETE instructions are available. Thanks & keep working.

Update First Post Please

Well than please update first post to Include:

NOT WORKING: SDCARD

NOT INSTALLED: MARKET
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
First things first - having started with devices before the nook, and can promise what you are seeing here, is what the other forums were like in their infancy as well. Lets face it - this device really didn't make it to hands until nov, and root only came around in dec. At most, it has had two months for people to get familiar with it.

The fact is, alot of people, even experienced devs, have alot to learn about this device, and that does not come over night. If you cannot take the time to actually research a subject, what makes you think spamming the board with a search-able question is the right thing to do?

As it is, the stock eclair build, when rooted with the market added, is very stable and well supported. Everything past that right now IS a dev toy, a beta build, or a preview image. Work is coming, and soon enough we hope to have nightly CM7 builds, and a Honeycomb image once AOSP is updated. Till then, everything is coming fast and furious, and questions may get buried.
[Nook Color Android Development] madfatter:

[Nook Color Android Development] myteematt:
Sorry its not in the first post. Please check yourself, before corrected.

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
@cicada

When I compare the init.rc from the src tar file and the init.rc in the ramdisk, they are not the same. The environmental variable for INTERNAL_STORAGE is missing and the section under 'mount MMC partitions' is different. If I recreate the ramdisk from the src, adding the INTERNAL_STORAGE variable and a mount command for /media, would I be breaking something else? This is for the eMMC version.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you addressed the issue on the previous page. BTW, 0.6.6 is running great on eMMC. Have not tried it from the sdcard yet.

Edit: I am currently using samuelhalff's vold.fstab and if I change /mnt/media then run 'vold /media' it mounts /dev/block/mmcblk0p8.
