[Nook Color Android Development] eNkrypt:
Why when I boot into clockwork it says it cant mount the sdcard? I have to boot up to the Rooted Stock OS and then apply update from the Clockwork App. Why can't I just install it via CWM?

EDIT:

When I choose "Install ROM from SDCard" I select update.zip from the SDCard. When the nook boots into CWM it tries to apply the update. When it does, it says something along the lines of "Error: Cannot install /sdcard/update.zip. File does not exist."

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT #2:

I was running CWM 3.0.0.5. Just flashed to CWM 3.0.1.0 and got it to work.

EDIT #3:

I could never get ADB to work with USB. I just now realized after I flashed over that I will not be able to download ADB Wireless -___-

Any suggestions?

EDIT #4:

Used IOMonsters USB Driver install and got it working after some tinkering. Successfully installed gapps on Nookie Froyo.

Also, I can't do a Clockwork Nandroid Backup. It boots into CWM and then does some stuff like backup up boot then it says "Can't mount /system!"

It worked before I installed gapps because I made a nandroid backup.

EDIT #5:

I fixed the "Can't mount /system!" by flashing http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/clockwork/cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip from recovery

Anyone know how to get Quake to work? It just force closes everytime I open it. it use to ask for sdcard/data/quake/id1/pak0.pak and I found one online and placed it on the SDCard. But ever since I installed gaps the quake app force closes.

Also, I haven't read the whole thread so maybe this has already been asked, but how can I fix the scaling of the notifications bar? It is the size of a small phone screen.

Will this rom automatically download the new market, or do we have to manually put it on with an .apk from somewhere?

From my other thread in general cuz I'm desperate for help:

Ok MAJOR update. I got Froyo 0.68 CWM running but there are lots of issues, NO market, the music player doesn't work. And to make matters worse, I don't think I backed up original config. Ugh. Thats what happens when your tired. Oh crap. Anyway to fix these issues?

EDIT. Some Apps I had on there before are on there though, like Rom Manager, Angry Birds, Fancy Widget and Titanium Backup (wish I would've used that last one.)Youtube works and I can get to gmail thru the email app thats on there cuz the internet works. HELP!

I also have no setting available in the web browser, the gallery won't see the pics on the SD card, when hooked to the PC, the Nook doesnt even show up. I guess I've borked it good huh? I'm screwed.

WE REALLY NEED THE MARKET!
[Nook Color Android Development] dalamchops:
you really shouldn't be messing with this if you don't know how to put gapps.zip on there. Start reading.
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
Well I'm trying. The problem is, windows isn't recognizing the nook when I connect it via USB, (yes, windows 7). Can I ask a dumb question? why wasn't this stuff included in the build? Also I'm trying to follow directions on how to get the gapps.zip on there but nothing is working. Argh.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalamchops:
check post #810 for a flashable gapps.zip

Wasn't included because this is supposed to be as close to AOSP as possible (my guess). Get the customized NF on another thread if you want all that stuff preloaded.
[Nook Color Android Development] volwrath:
Just flash gapps.zip via CWM SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
Ok that worked! Marketplace up and running. As far as the Youtube not working - I've downloaded that apk file but I'm unsure what to do with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eloquence:
@KDOG2020 Just install the Youtube APK from the system/app directory, NOT from your sdcard or wherever you downloaded it to. It should work very well from there.

Good luck,

-Elo
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
I don't understand. I cant GET to the system/app directory on the NOOk! Do you mean install if from Recovery? How? My win7 PC does NOT see the nook at all, only SD card as external storage.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
In the O.P., it says this is a "Development" version of Froyo meant to be as near as AOSP as possible.

What attracted me to this thread was that it was a CWM Flashable enabled Froyo ROM.

Is there another Froyo ROM (Nookie) that is also Flashable but comes more complete?

I am fine with this one it seems, I just would like to see what the options are. I have looked at the other threads and can't seem to find that. So it makes me wonder if this is the ONLY CWM Flashable Nookie Froyo?\

edit: And hey, I am also curious how to get the new market on here and to learn how you all have gotten the youtube app to work??
[Nook Color Android Development] eNkrypt:
I Used IOMonsters USB Driver install and got it working after some tinkering. Successfully installed gapps on Nookie Froyo. I am running Windows 7 64bit, first click Install.exe and then when that is done installing, if it STILL doesn't work run the other EXE if you are 64bit run the 64.exe

Guess i'll be going to CM7.... Cannot get this frakking ROM to boot..

rooted countless phone. got honeycomb working PERFECTLY (as one can expect on a beta testing ROM) on my Nook Color but i cannot get this one to boot @ all. Live SD card nor writting to the eMMC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
This is what I did to get this ROM to work:

- Went back to stock 1.1 (Flashed with SD Card)

- Autonooter 3.0 (Flashed with SD Card)

- Booted up, logged in, reregistered, signed in to Google Account

- Downloaded ADW in order to go to (and also downloaded) ROM Manager

- Once in ROM Manager, flashed newest CWM (3.0.1 I believe.)

- Download the zip from the OP (0.6.8)

- Booted into CWM

- Wipe Data and Cache

- Flashed Zip

- Booted up fine

- Installed ADB drivers, hooked NC to my PC and ADB pushed gapps

- Back into CWM and Overclocked using a zip from another thread.

A couple bugs, naturally this is a beta I believe, but working great.

There I helped someone, now if someone can answer my questions on the last page about how to get new market???
[Nook Color Android Development] Eloquence:
Step by step instructions for Youtube!

Okay, so I assumed you had a couple of things that you probably don't right now. First, do you have a file explorer of some type like Root Explorer? That's one way to get to the /system/app directory. However, the Nook is a little finicky and won't let you in there right on the first try with this app.

Here's what you have to do.

1) Download Terminal Emulator from the Market - install it.

2) Open it up and become the Superuser by typing "su" into the command prompt.

3) That should bring you to a new line starting with "#"

4) type this command EXACTLY: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

5) If you had a Youtube app on the nook previously make sure to go to Settings and wipe data and clear cache.

6) Press Home button - now launch Root Explorer or any other file explorer you have (not ASTRO though)

7) Navigate to /system/app and Mount R/W so you can write to the app dir

8) Navigate to where you downloaded signed-Youtube.apk and rename it to Youtube.apk and move into /system/app directory

9) Now double click on Youtube.apk in the /system/app directory (launch from there) to install. DO NOT OPEN at this point.

10) Reboot your nook

11) Try and open Youtube normally -- it should ask to tie in with whatever Google account you set up Nookie Froyo with.

12) Come back to this forum to thank me after you've done that successfully! j/k :P

Hope this helps man!

[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
Ok I will give it a shot!
[Nook Color Android Development] Eloquence:
Oh, and for those of you having a hard time with ADB over USB and your Windows (or other machine), I recommend using ADB Wireless from the market.

One caveat emptor: In getting the ADB Wireless to recognize the nook you need to keep the Wi-Fi connection on the Nook active. This means that while you're about to ADB you MUST open up a webpage or download something at the SAME time.

The Nook (over my DD-WRT firmware Router) was not seen as "active" until this data flow, happened.

IF any one needs any help setting up ADB Wireless, I'd be more than happy to assist.

Good luck!

Can any one get a lock on with Google Maps? I have Wi-fi turned on and it can not find my location.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpb:
I'm having the same problem with custom3 image flashed to internal memory and I would also like to know if anyone is capable of getting a location from WiFi with Froyo.

(Sorry for double posting. I'm using a very poor connection and thought the first post didn't get trhough...)
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
If you are asking about the WiFi tethering app, yes it works, and works quite well in Froyo .6.8...

If you mean having Maps locate you just by your regular wifi signal.. that is very hit or miss, and cannot be taken as anything more than luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
I was referring to Maps yes. It simply says "Waiting for Location" and stalls. Not even hit or miss. When I was on Auto-Nooter, Wifi locked on my location instantly. So is this something that is not possible with Nookie Froyo?

You opened up a can about Wifi Tether. I tried my Wifi Tether app from my Fascinate. I did get the Nook to connect to the Wifi and the Fascinate detected it. There was no internet however, just Wifi. Does this sound familiar or is this a problem with the phone you think?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
I've found Maps location via Wi-Fi data to be extremely reliable and accurate in CM7 and rooted stock 1.1. It never worked at all for me in NF.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
Well that is good to know. I suppose location is not HUGE for what I do but that is disappointing to hear.

I am waiting for CM7 to develop a bit more and I will jump on that bandwagon.
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
Ok ... SOMEHOW I got everything working. I kinda had to do a "ghetto" setup on it. I ended up completely uninstalling the youtube app, then re-flashing the ROM with the Froyo and gapps.zip one after the other then going to the market and re-downloading the youtube app. So my Gmail, the browser, the updated softkeys and the You Tube app all work - FOR NOW.

The music app still doesn't work (even Winamp) and none the pictures that are on the card show up in gallery. I haven't formatted the card yet. Should I?
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
I also managed to download and install Flash 10.1 off the market. How can I test to see if it works properly?

EDIT: Got it. Just watched a Battle Los Angeles trailer on that m.flash.com site.

Maybe there is some framework that's copyable from cm7 or eclair that will allow location to work on froyo given how well the rest of it is working!

Is my sdcard mounted in the right place?

I'm not getting any hits on my post in the general forum, so maybe I'll try here. I used brianf21's Nookie Froyo CWR for emmc and I've been having sd card issues.

Froyo recognizes my sdcard but when I transfer apps to the sdcard they get moved to /mnt/asec which for no apparent reason is only 244mb. I've run out of space even though I have a 4GB Class 6 sdcard. Would one of you take a look at my partitions below and tell me how to fix this?

# df -h
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 244.2M 12.0K 244.2M 0% /dev
tmpfs 244.2M 0 244.2M 0% /mnt/asec

/dev/block/vold/179:17
3.8G 635.0M 3.1G 17% /mnt/secure/asec

For the record, I moved all my apps back to "phone" just to be safe, so that's why /mnt/asec indicates 0 space used.

I need some help pushing the google apps

I have the drivers installed when i plug in my device and type adb devices it shows the serial number to my nook. From that part i am having trouble pushing the apps.

in the same command prompt that shows my serial i type: adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

and i get error: protocol fault (no status)

not sure what im doing wrong can you help me out please thanks..

Edit also if i am suppose to type it in on the nook in the terminal emulator i get as far as "$ adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk" it wont let me type the 1p2 and finish the code?

Edit: same problem as last edit what i notice is that the emulator wont let you type any numbers on the line only letters.

Anyone having trouble connecting to the internet.

My laptop and nook is connected to the same wifi router, but the nook can't seem to load anything
[Nook Color Android Development] variable47:
I'm running it from eMMC. Much faster that way. In theory you can put the OC'ed kernel on the SD card using an SD card reader. Extract the ZIP file and find the "uImage" file. Then copy this to the boot partition of the SD card overwriting the one that is already there. More info: http://nookdevs.com/Nookie_Froyo:_Updating_the_SD#Updating_the_Kernel_or_Ramdisk

The best way to flash new APK files is to use the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB). Brief guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

You'll need the drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10534981&postcount=1

Once you get ADB working, you can either install APK files - or remount the system as read/write and push them into the system directory (think of that as updating the ROM on the fly). Here's the gist on how to do that: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#3rd-Party_App_support

If the answer to this has already been posted, sorry for asking again. Can you just give me a link to the post?

Thanks

I put 6.8 on my nook's SD card, and had many problems. After it was up and running for 30 sec all the apps work crash/force close. being quick, I was able to run rom manager, and thinking it would allow me to "flash" a new rom on the card, I installed clockwork mod recovery. It didn't work at all. After some playing around I gave up and took out the card to reboot the nook to the normal B&N OS. Turns out, clockwork mod recovery installed on the actual nook color it self and that is why nothing was working. Obviously I did something wrong or had different expectations.

Please help me figure out how to keep my NC to act like an untouched NC (I have rooted it before, but now have magazines) and keep all my rooted Android stuff on the card. I would like to have 6.8 on my NC with market. Also, if I can get android 3.x on the sd card that would be cool too. I have heard rumors of it working but haven't seen anything real.

At the very least, i would like someone to give me a clue or explain everything as to why what happened, happened relative to what I was trying to accomplish.

Thank you in advance.
[Nook Color Android Development] ClarkSt:
I, personally, wouldn't bother with putting it on the sd card. I just put the phiremod CM7-based build on the emmc and it is really, really, cool. Also VERY easy to do. No more stupid Nook stuff in the status bar. Great interface, even with cpu performance enhancement capability. I did 3 Color Nooks in the past few days. Here's the best install instructions:

http://quinxy.com/2011/04/14/comple...od-7-install-and-configuration-on-nook-color/

You can install the Nook app, too. And bluetooth works - though not that well. Also, I'm not sure how you get to read magazines, as it doesn't seem like you can Shop for them on the Nook. I bought a magazine a few minutes ago at bn.com from my PC, but it hasn't shown up yet in my Library...
[Nook Color Android Development] EyeCU:
Thanks, I will look into the link you gave me.

But you are not able to read magazines with the nook app. you have to have the nook program that comes with the nook color straight from B&N. Unless, you know how to make the nook open magazines after it has been rooted, I would like to keep the NC Stock, and run the good stuff off the SD Card.

Hello

I know it's 2014 and the thread is 3 years old, but maybe someone can still help me

I am looking for a flashable version of nookie froyo. I've been googling about it but haven't found it.. The links on this thread are also expired, the site that is referred on the links doesn't exist anymore. I can find the SD version but I would like to install it on the internal memory of nook color if possible.

Please help me
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
Well thats a blast from the past!

I'm really going to recommend against you installing this unless it's just for exploratory purposes. Very shortly after working on that build the NookColor got Cyanogenmod support, and it's a vastly superior OS. If you want a daily-driver, go here instead: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=encore

If you're still sure you want to install it on your EMMC with CWM, I just dug up the image and re-uploaded it, the original link should work now: http://edencomputing.com/nookcolor/nookie-froyo-flashable-v0.6.8.zip

I really can't support you any further than that, though, sorry; it's simply been too long since I've looked at any of this stuff and I don't remember all the tweaks and hacks and things to make it smooth, or work at all.

Thanks for checking it out though!
[Nook Color Android Development] mlegs:
Wow, thanks for this :) will try it out

I installed some of cyanogen mod's roms for nook color but they seem to be too laggy. At least the browser is really slow... And since installing so many roms, I found that the older roms are way smoother than the new ones. I checked saw that MIUI and NookieJoy are the best of Android 2.2 versions.. but they had some problems

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Do you have the other versions 0.6.6 and 0.6.7 ? I get a status 2 error when trying to install this with TWRP.. will try CWM as well, but if you have the other 2 versions please let me know, Thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
I don't have those versions unfortunately, and I believe this was developed before TWRP was even a thing.. probably best to stick with CWM.

The previous versions had a serious bug that caused the SD card to be formatted unexpectedly, which you really don't want.
