OK, so I booted the rom, and followed the instructions at nookdevs...

Installing superuser.apk and pushing su seemed to work just fine!!!

Softkeys installed and got superuser permissions and works as well.

Installed astro file manager, and that works fine too...

At that point, I wanted to mount the usb storage and move over a bunch of APK files... mounted the nook and could only see the mlo, img file etc... no problem creating an apk folder and putting files in there, but then I can't see that folder when I look for it in astro....

Any info on simply copying files via USB using this build?

Also, thanks to all the devs for the awesome work... looking forward to playing around with this more!!!

January is in Q1 2011. :D

Anyway, the author of the Smartphone Mag article says he was told by a B&N rep it was slated for January. That may have changed since then. Who knows. I'm gonna hold out hope.
[Nook Color Android Development] IM0001:
They have been good on updates or so I have heard on the Nook Classic, but either way we may have a almost fully working 2.2 and off to 2.3 before an official rom makes it out. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
So is February and March. Q1 does not equal January.

If they were confident in a January release, they would have said January, not Q1. Statistically, product releases far more commonly occur toward the end of the projected time window than the beginning.

We can certainly hope, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a January upgrade.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I know the accelerometer isn't working, but poking around with dmesg it appears that it is present and spitting out messages. On my NC, dmesg spits out line after line of the following

kxtf9 1-000f: x:16 y:-48 z:968
kxtf9 1-000f: x:24 y:-48 z:972
kxtf9 1-000f: x:16 y:-48 z:968
kxtf9 1-000f: x:20 y:-48 z:968
kxtf9 1-000f: x:20 y:-52 z:968

dmesg captures the last 483 lines before its ring buffer is filled up. I can use the Ti Sensor Test Application to change the sample rate causing dmesg to fill up faster or slower accordingly.

I'm still a little green here but is there a way to keep the accelerometer driver from spewing messages 10 - 20 times a second?

Could this contribute to the slow touchscreen response or is there a different sampling rate for the touch screen that isn't being used?

Keep up the good work guys.

I actually successfully used Win32DiskImager to make a backup image of my NF microSD. I did this as part of an experiment to test the performance of my NC when running NF on different cards. I have an 8GB card and a 4GB card. I put the same (~2GB) image on both cards and compared performance. I noticed that the NC was much slower with the 4GB card (a "generic" PNY I bought at BestBuy for $12.99). FWIW, the 8GB card is a Transcend card. Sorry - the writing on both cards is way too small to read the product/model number.

Win32DiskImager also reports read and write rates while reading/writing and I noticed that the 4GB card was slower (only about 10%) both reading and writing. More interestingly, the 4GB card was wildly inconsistent with the readings fluctuating all over the place (+/- 25%).

Do I need to take my Nook back to stock/unrooted before booting this off the SD Card? I'm assuming I can leave my rooted Nook alone since this is booting off the SD card, but I just want to be sure...
[Nook Color Android Development] muness:
Worked fine for me without taking it back to stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdjohns1:
Seems to be working fine with me, although the touchscreen calibration is giving me some issues. I tried using the recal method described on the wiki, but no joy - it just makes the screen completely unresponsive. I have to reboot to fix it.

Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] xawen:
The last step of the calibration process is a reboot. The screen will not be responsive until you do, and I believe (could be wrong) that touching the screen before rebooting will alter the calibration. You may want to try again w/o touching the NC (at all, even tilting it) until after a reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
Thanks for the patch but unfortunately I don't think it will help - I don't believe that exception is actually being thrown. The trouble is, something is flagged which makes webkit think the gps *is* available, so the exception isn't reached.

[edit] actually after taking a second look at it, that may just do the trick, I'll give it a whirl :)
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
Well,,,,,thats what the accelerometer is for. It works perfect now.
[Nook Color Android Development] wtorres141:
Ready....but still noobish

-your knowledge on this stuff surpasses mine, by far. but me no scared.

With the recent fix to the accelerometer, I am ready to jump onto that bleeding (l)edge. However the Ubuntu dev environment at home is not full functional (cant build, not yet ). Any way to build this stuff on a windows box with functional ADB?

Hook me up man....or (re)point me to the light if i missed a post somewhere...

Anyone having issues with adb with this version of nookie froyo. I'm unable to get a usb debugging connection with my computer with this, and it currently works with the stock 2.1.

Edit: Might of found solution....attach nook first to computer with debugging disabled, then reenable usb debugging. Works now!

Still not working....any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] Philosophy757:
So is it correct that we will not have access to the internal memory while using NookieFroyo?
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
I just imaged the newest version to my sd card and I was able to pull and push stuff to the nook through adb without changing any default settings the image had.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
No luck here....my pc wont detect it under adb.
[Nook Color Android Development] blackbodypie:
The stock Android build has no support for it but it's there still as /dev/block/mmcblk0p8. One could mount this as /media like stock BN but not sure how useful this would be...depends on what from the BN ROM one could bring over.
[Nook Color Android Development] chhaggerty:
I used "Autodetect Speeds Recommended". It sets Max 800, Min 300, conservative scaling. I'm seeing much improved benchmark and subjective speed increases.
[Nook Color Android Development] blackbodypie:
It definitely does work. My sd card decided to stop working so I put it all on the eMMC this morning/last night. I do not think it is that dangerous since the nook can always boot off SD. There is minimal risk of bricking to the point of needing a JTAG reset, that is. Depending on how comfortable you are with a Linux command line, you still might want to proceed cautiously...

Also, for those trying this... there's also some mention of mmcblk1 in env.txt that may need to be changed.

Also, hi, I've been lurking awhile. Nice work guys.

Is the first boot supposed to take so...long? It's been about 8 minutes now and it's still flashing the blue Android_ screen. Would it be safe to restart the device at this point, or should I just keep waiting?
[Nook Color Android Development] nikescar:
Thanks to the devs for getting this running.

A few things:

-Softkeys doesn't have access to root.

-I can't get adb working on this froyo build (works fine on stock)

-I thought froyo was supposed to be faster than 2.1
[Nook Color Android Development] DyDx:
adb shell isn't working for me, though adb install and push appear to be.

Performance seems very good. I did the 'BrowserMark' benchmark and scored 27k in the default browser, compared to 18-19k in DolphinHD on the B&N build. 27k is higher than what my HTC Incredible gets (26k).
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
Lol I couldn't get adb stock (went with wireless) but drivers worked for froyo.

Its actually really use-able ATM (with the nookDevs tip section: market/flash an such) set up just as stock is and only xda would fail when going to a thread logged in.

Can't wait to see it off SD now. Hoping that's why its kinda slow, typing and in apps moves like normal but getting around doesn't. Then again the Nook was my first android device so could be froyo

[Nook Color Android Development] madfatter:
what would the commands in adb be to do this? Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
env.txt shouldn't have to change. At least I didn't touch it. It would be necessary, as I said earlier, to have a uRamdisk with the right mmc0 pointing to the correct place.

If you did it though, congrats :)

Can the flicker fix in the 2nd post be used on a rooted, but otherwise stock, unit that has the issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Tap the Home button, select Softkeys and press the turn around button. Press the Softkeys home button and it should then ask for root.

Are you running it internally or off a very fast SDCard? If not, it probably is slower. Not Froyo's fault but slow memory.

[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Questions and observations:

1)Screen calibration is off. would changing lcd density help as did not experience this with .5.6 build

2)while screen rotation works in apps, the home screen and drawer seem to oly work in portrait mode so full screen rotation doesn't seem to work. Am I alone?

3)Market. seems many apps like adw, dolphin hd... not showingup when they were there in previous market build of froyo. Anyoneelse?
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
On the nookdevs froyo tips, under installing gapps there a thing where you clear cache, stop market. Clear data, stop Google framework.

Refer to that for more details, I couldn't get my fancy widget/zeam till I did it.

[Nook Color Android Development] nikescar:
Thanks for the tip. I did this already when I first started this up. A popup comes up saying "Unable to execute root".

The SD card is a class 6 but I guess it would be slower than internal memory. I just figured that, when a web page was already loaded, it would be able to scroll smoothly. Even the stock nc browser is faster. I'll hold off until I can properly flash to froyo.

Sorry it's not helping. I missed doing that on my "production" setup and ended up swapping softkey for button saviour. Did you change anything since I think we used the same image?

It'd be awesome if I could get ADB working on it so I could install Market apps.

My ADB install works on everything else, from my wife's vibrant to my nexus one, including stock nc.

What's even worse, is you can't even install anything from a terminal on the device as there's no terminal included.

I'm so close and it's extremely frustrating! I really want this to work...

Try my adb batch file in the posts before this one.

Ah, so it may not have to have changed but it is in the uRamdisk... it looked like the kernel command line...
[Nook Color Android Development] blackbodypie:
You'll need somewhere to mount it. I don't recommend /sdcard since I think that caused me to lose /boot. So you might create a directory, somewhere writeable like /mnt/cache, then mount it as

mkdir /somewhere/you/think/is/good

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /somewhere/you/think/is/good

How do i do this? i tried adb mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /media , but it brings up the same thing as if i typed adb.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

P.S. I know to use autostart i have to create autostart.sh, but I wanted to try it in adb first
[Nook Color Android Development] runhopskipjump:
I have some questions?

1.Can you put "mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /media" in your init.rc file to get it to mount? I am using the autostart app and a script i make to do it at boot.

2.Also can you give me a little info on the "/dev/block//vold" stuff i keep seeing? Does it have to do with the mounting of removable devices? I tried "mount /dev/block//vold/179:8 /media vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec" which is how i think the stock stock BN software mounted mmcblk0p8 to /media but it didn't work.

3.Lastly is youtube working for anyone on Nookie Froyo? Flash works but the stock youtube force closes and the HD signed youtube states there was a problem.

LOL, I don't know how to use adb yet. I am very new to this. I used RootExplorer, Terminal Emulator and SSH on the device itself because i like to see what i am doing and i know very little about commands. I am the guy whom runs nautilus as a superuser to navigate to config file and edit them with a text editor to make changes. You can always make a backup copy of the autostart.sh and just boot off the MicroSd to place the original file back if things don't work out. I haven't had any problems trying different stuff out with autostart yet. Just double check you entries.

I just used "mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /media" in the autostart.sh and reboot. If you want you can test it out first with Terminal Emulator but enter "su" first. Then browse to it with a file manager of your choice if it worked. I am learning this stuff on the fly.
