Temporary fix for SD Card mounting issues

View attachment sdcardfix.zip

Unzip to your platform-tools folder and run the script. Or just manually mount /system and push the vold files to /system/etc/ and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
To everyone having SD mount issues or youtube problems, which version are you using? Update .zip, SD, or manually updating with the base files?

These are issues I explicitly fixed and have been testing for some time, so I do not understand how it could be broken..
[Nook Color Android Development] volwrath:
I flashed via CWR. Then I installed the market and installed gapps , then used tiBU to uninstall youtube then downloaded the working youtube from the market

I had both problems and I flashed via internal CWR. Both were easy fixes though. Still no luck with pandora, although I dont really care.
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
I updated using CW recovery and had the mounting issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] flak0:
@OP Can you help with the YouTube and Pandora non-playing issues. I posted a log cat and sent you one. Please help. I really like this ROM and i am willing to donate for the cause =). The major error i see in logcat is

SD mount problem - installed via the bootable CWR, not the market CWR.
[Nook Color Android Development] motitas:
so... can we play HD video or is it the same old 856x400 capacity of the stock rom?
[Nook Color Android Development] shep211:
Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried adb commands and reboot from cwr menu but cant get out of recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] flak0:
YouTube / Pandora ProblemI updated manually with the base files and also tried an SD Image.

My SDCARD works 100%
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
I read a lot and am fully rooted. There is no reason someone who reads wouldn't want a custom rom. You can use the kindle and nook apps from the market. I use kindle with no problems. What your saying is a good idea but I would be paranoid about loosing my sdcard as I read some then play some games or surf the web then read some more so pulling the card every time would be a pain.
[Nook Color Android Development] Pinesal:
The nook app doesn't have newspapers, magazines or picture books. Gotta be stock nook for that.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
You know, that's true. We really don't need a recovery for the NC. Even if the 8-point factory reset got clobbered somehow, we'd still just need a bootable SD image that could rewrite the stock system to the internal flash.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Didn't know that. I only read books on my NC
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
I know its in the dev stages, but the lag of the touchscreen makes it almost unusable. I tried recalibrating...but it dosnt help. Im sure we are on our way to a great froyo experience soon though. Thanks to the devs!
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
How fast of an sdcard will be needed to run this properly? I have a class 4 now will I need a faster card?
[Nook Color Android Development] BertoJG:
I would like to recommend that the phone portions of the ROM be deleted to conserve some battery life.

I noticed after running this for several hours a huge portion of the battery usage was for "Cell Standby".

I researched this and found that for some other tablets, people remove the following files and it removes this entry and eliminates the associated power consumption.

On the current build, the files that need to be removed are listed below. It is important to know that if you do this with the device online you will go into a force crash loop, so you will have to do a hard reset. Maybe we should just have these removed from the build?

When we get to the point of having custom ROMs, I personally would like the option having a status bar on the bottom with back, menu, and a search key. I've gotten used to this on the rooted NC ROM, and find it to be more convenient than popping up the softkeys overlay.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Who wrote that and is it open-sourced?
[Nook Color Android Development] plariers:
the bar itself is b+n's; that said, i agree that a bar with soft keys should be in a ROM. maybe not the stock one for copyright purposes, but a bar would be really helpful
[Nook Color Android Development] h8rift:
I've seen several "overlays" for the home/back/menu/search buttons. iPhodroid uses one in the pull down notification bar. Also, the G Tablet, ePad, and Vega tablet ROMS all use a "built in" top row bar with those keys. They are visible at all times and were quite useful. I wonder how much of a pain it would be to port. They seemed to be a part of a custom Home/Launcher. I'll try to adb pull one and try it later today.

Thanks,

-h8
[Nook Color Android Development] MrOtsKrad:
it would prolly be eaiser to use a homebrew softkeys like app.

Like a cross between SoftKeys and B&N

slim menu bar of buttons on the bottom (not a oversized popup), with the tiny transparent "call" button" when an app goes fullscreen.
[Nook Color Android Development] xwint3rxmut3x:
I read somewhere that you'd need it faster than a class 2...4 might be ok. I'm using a class 2 on a froyo install and it's way less than ideal. Anyone else have any input on speed vs experience?

Ever seen a ginger droid?
[Nook Color Android Development] AZBrauMeister:

Seriously tho, great work guys. I'm following everything closely. It's interesting to see the development of all this, stage by stage. Strong work all around.

sdcard

I am using 8g class 2 and it is working fine for me. Remapped the volume keys and a few other tweaks. Running from the card works better for me anyway. I have a very bad habit of not wanting to back anything up, so I have the rooting and nooter down to a science. Five minutes from factory to fully nootered. I learn real quick to put everything non essential on dropbox
[Nook Color Android Development] mburris:
On screen buttons

Maybe this is totally crazy/impossible, but why not just use a bit of the samsung continuum's kernel code that allows part of its screen to function as a separate display.

Then display the buttons on that.

That way they would be available even in "full screen" applications.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Couldn't you just write the soft keys app to always display at the bottom?

Im thinking that the YouTube and Pandora issues are caused by a permissions issue, I did notice in the build.prop that the 4 lines with StageFright.enable. where set to false, I attempted to set them to True but still no go.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
N my case sd card works but YouTube etc. Does not. I took base files and copied boot and system files over via their mounted partitions. Not sure if that was the right way or not. I cleared Dalvik cache and revolted too.
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
No. I'm running NF 0.6.6 from my SD Card and having this problem. Are you running from internal memory or external SD? I'm pretty certain it's due to the broken "vold" in it. However as this was an issue in prior builds and supposedly in the change log as fixed, I don't know why it's not. I don't know what to do since replacing the "vold" should already have been done in the release I'm currently using.
[Nook Color Android Development] succulent:
Hello,

Great job on updating Nookie Froyo cicada.

Would anyone like to test Cifsmanager to see if it's working with dascud's modules? I couldn't get it to mount any SMB shares with 0.59. I've even tried modified cifs.ko from dascud but no luck. Thanks.

If you do the location fix...remove the included youtube app with ti backup, and then download the youtube app from the market, it WILL work.

Edit: or not.........
[Nook Color Android Development] flak0:
in terms of Youtube and Pandora. I used the following command in ADB, they didnt work however the errors changed in mediaplayer from -1002 to -17. Stagefright seems to be the culprit.

The fix mentioned here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#3rd-Party_App_support

I was able to get a youtube movie to play once....didn't work afterwords.....so no go.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
How did you get youtube to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] hoola20055:
I am thinking its hit or miss. I came from nook with latest sideloaded update. 1.1.0/eclair. Installed via cwr pushed what was needed. Youtube app works fine. I really don't know what I did but follow the guide. I don't use pandora so I don't know about that one. Anyone having compatability issues? Face book wont stretch accross screen . Most everything else seems to work. Few force closes with xda app.

Temporary fix to YouTube and Pandora is just to goto the respective websites, use Dolphin mini and set UA to Desktop.

dsp video decode support?

I have installed 0.6.6 rom to my internal memory and gotten everything up and running but I'm still trying to figure out how to play hardware accelerated video files. The release notes include the following item "added codecs for more media formats - including hw accelerated mp3 and video". Which format should I transcode to in order to take advantage of this new feature? My searches so far have indicated that a standard .mp4 file is the best bet... My test file is encoded as avc1 video and mp4a audio (5.1 audio). I'm assuming this is NOT the corrrect MP4 format.. what should I transcode to? Also, can I use the built in video player to get hardware acceleration (open the file from within gallery) or do I need to use a different player?

Thanks for the help!

Im on froyo flashed via cwr as we speak and everything works. Came from sideloaded 1.1.0 eclair. Still using the same sd card with the froyo zip on it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Does the "sd-mount issue" mean that you're not able to see your sd-card at all? Because that's my problem atm.

I flashed it via the MonsterRootPack CWM

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system

adb push [loaction of vold.fstab and vold.conf] etc/

adb reboot

that worked for me. I read that in another post. Its not my idea. I followed it and my sd card wat found at reboot. I cant remember what post that was in but i got the vold files needed in the saame post. I just have a virtual rolladex of tips and adb commands i copy from other posts and keep at hand ALWAYS for when i screw up my hardware. :p i LOVE this site.
[Nook Color Android Development] bartimeus:
Correct that is the issue. If you push the vold files that are posted somewhere aroudn page 55 then it fixes the issue.

Get Tubemate from Market and Download a Youtube Video. Then use VLC or MediaInfo on your Computer to extract what the Video's Specs are. Convert based on those Specs and it should work.
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
All I can say to the people having mp3, youtube/pandora, mediaplayer, or SDcard issues - these are exactly the problems I fixed, and I as well as a handful of others have tested them thoroughly.

Stagefright mediaplayer is currently having issues working 100%, you can try enabling it in the buildprop but I find things work better without it.

If anyone having the SDcard mounting problems could post me a *full* logcat and dmesg of their boot process that may help.

If you're using the SD image, please make sure you sync your card before removing from your reader/pc - it's unlikely but you could be retaining old data.

If you're having these issues on the CWM flashable - *WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET* and try again - I have just done exactly this and experience none of the issues you're all mentioning.
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
that worked, thank you very much.

[Nook Color Android Development] armstrom:
Thanks for the tip. I downloaded two version of the same video using tubemate. One wouldn't play at all on the nook and the other played rotated 90 degrees and had the aspect ratio wrong. Seems the codecs aren't quite ready for prime-time use, but everything else about this release seems to be spot-on! Here are the specs of the videos I downloaded from youtube:

HD video (does not work on the nook)

Stream 0 Video: avc1 1280x720 23.8fps

Stream 1 Audio: mp4a Stereo

Low-res vidoe (this does play, but is rotated 90 degrees and squished)

Stream 0 Audio: mp4a stereo

Stream 1 Video: avc1 480x270

I just noticed that the stream orders are reversed between the two videos... not sure if that means anything or not.

I should point out that videos play just fine in youtube for me (both regular and HQ versions) The files also play in rock player but the HD version is very slow due to CPU decoding.

Will try this again and post if it worked for me. Thank you

First, Thankyou all for the work and development so far on the nook color. You've re-awakened my love for gadgets and gadget moding.

Here's what I can confim.

Old setup:

Nookie Froyo custom 5.9 flashed to emmc

1.1ghz OC

-I upgraded my Foyo install by downloading the monster root pack's Clockwork mod only image

-flashed it onto a microsd card and copied the flashable froyo 6.6 image to the root dir(after flashing the img)

-fixed SDcard mounting issue by replacing the vold file with the 5.8 one

-once flashed i installed Gapps via the instructions here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips

-Installed Flash 1.0.1 via adb(can be updated via market)

-Installed the 1.1ghz OC kernel

instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10903913&postcount=233

original thead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

-installed the Menu/Back button in the Status Bar mod

original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932631

-modified system/build.prop file to perm. change lcd density to 220.

-Installed youtube from market, which works for me. (I did this part last, i don't know if there's a proper order, but youtube worked first time ran)

Now as far as I can tell, from a couple hours of use, everything survived the update/re-install and is working as expected. Any questions/whatever's PM me.
[Nook Color Android Development] nookierookie:
At the expense of sounding like I need to reread forum threads (I haven't been able to find answers to these questions - and they Do relate to to this Froyo build), does anybody

1. Have a way to make Nookie Froyo Google Maps and Gmaps based applications use wifi to find location? I managed to get it to work on the eclaire build by changing some xml files.

2. Know where the boot animation lives and the parameters for changing it? Is it the same as the eclaire based directions? And is the stock Froyo one there to change or is it built into the embedded system files?

Thanks to c-man and all contributing posters. I flashed from cwm and had sdcard and youtube issues but fixed them with the suggestions in earlier posts.

[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
No, I had them in two different locations so I figured it wouldn't matter. I unmounted then remounted the sdcard, then tried again, still no luck. I am pretty handy with the command line so if it comes down to it I can always dd. Just figured I'd give this a try. Should I delete all nookie froyo files not working then retry?

edit: No need to format /system or /boot to flash this, am I right?

edit: Deleted all old downloads, re-downloaded, checked md5sum then re-flashed, seems to be working now. (:

Since it seems that these modules were compiled from kernel source, it seems doubtful this will work without using the 2.2 source to rebuild the modules.
