[Nook Color Android Development] sincerity:
okay, I am so fuzzy on this nook color as it's unlike anything i've ever messed around with in terms of rooting...

so, autonooter 3.0.0 I got that working but couldn't get rom manager installed and read not to try clockwork....then burned this froyo to sd and got it working...I can't get clockwork installed. Can anybody explain how to get clockwork installed? I basically want this froyo installed internally and CWR installed internally and have the SD card to store files on....pretty much like my droid/gtab....thanks for this rom, it's incredibly smooth

steep learning curve for me with this device. I've spent the better part of today in the office trying to make sense out of this gadget. Work has definitely suffered today :)
[Nook Color Android Development] flak0:
+10 on this but for ubunto.. see my post with command not found errors above.
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
As it stands. If you want any of these on the internal emmc you will either have to manually dd the image files or ise iomonsters rootpack with the flashable zip copied to it
[Nook Color Android Development] flak0:
ok i successfully unpacked edited and repacked the uRamdisk image but now I get

any help?

edit partition layout fixed. No help needed. will post modified uRamdisk image tonight.

Modifying the RamDisk image (init.rc) made youtube and pandora work.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
No worries. Any luck looking into the mediaserver hanging/crazyness?
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
Market does in fact work for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Syco54645:
When using dmesg the SD is seen as being removed. It sees that it gets plugged in as well. Since I do nit have a viable machine with adb on it at my gfs house I canning t debug further. The terminal in the dev tools does not allow me to do numeric input so I cannot even try to mount the SD by hand. Wish I had a means to give more help with this...
[Nook Color Android Development] djurkash:
Just one question, what is with Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk or mms.apk?

Are they removed from the rom, as I cant acess them via ADB or File Manager?

I still see crossed sign for network in the upper right corner, does this mean that Phone.apk is still here?

Thanks...
[Nook Color Android Development] kassemja:
Well done, i had a feeling this would work. Did you have to setup the full build envrioment to create the ramdisk?
[Nook Color Android Development] DomSim:
wait, sdcard doesnt work? glad i saw this, was just creating a nandroid getting ready to flash the new flashable zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Sorry if I missed something, but if your currently running stock you should be able to flash Clockwork from inside ROM manager and then reboot into recovery to flash the zip to internal memory? No need for iomonsters root pack I don't think? Maybe I misread something though.

PS: Thanks for the working HC root method NuroSlam, really a leap as far as HC development goes. (:
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
Sorry for not taking the little free time I have to make sure that's 100% accurate all the time, instead of actually working on the rom. I'll be sure to straighten my priorities.

That said, 'market' is part of 'gapps', which you'll see is listed as not included.

The SD issue is what you would call a 'bug', it is infact working for me
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
I just did all this today as well. Ran auto-nooter 3.0, downloaded Rom Manager and flashed CWR through RM. The funny thing with it was the first time I flashed it I got stuck in a boot loop into recovery. Had to uninstall CWR, boot back into rooted stock and reinstall CWR through RM and it work perfectly. Now I just flashed this ROM. Were you not able to download RM from the market at all? It doesn't show up in the Extras for a while but if you use the search it will find it or reboot and it will show up...then flash CWR with RM.
[Nook Color Android Development] DomSim:
ok, so sdcard does work, but maybe just a bit buggy?
[Nook Color Android Development] MrOtsKrad:
Hey, first off, thank you for all you and the other devs have done, with out you'z all of us would be stuck with B&N stock.

Im actually one of the ones who is having SD mounting issues as well. Its doesnt show anything mounted, and it also shows only 900mb for internal space (I thought there was about 5gb) other than that, its runnin fairly smooth.
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
I've managed to get everything working(almost). Ok some apps are still not showing up on market (I might install newer market) even after the tip from nookdevs page, but I got nearly everything I want and it runs great. YouTube plays nice, several games, RSS readers, widgets...success! Thank you cicada.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
OK well youtube was working but quit midway through a video and now gives errors like in previous nookie..... ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
That is only app memory. The rest of your internal memory is accessed via /media. This is where you would save your documents, books and such. Right now, some people are having trouble accessing /media. Within a day or two, I am sure someone will come up with a solution.
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
Is mediaserver hanging on your device? Try killing it with is monitor.
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
logcat it.
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
keep up the great work!

Just wanted to chime in to say really appreciate all the work that you and the other devs have put into getting root and froyo and HC up and running on our Nooks.

I happen to be someone with an SD issue (temporarily worked around with vold)... and additionally, the output of ADB SHELL is all garbled strangely. The thing is... it still lets me push and pull; but the directories list with a bunch of extra characters in the name.

Anyway, just thought I'd give that heads up. Looking forward to the CWM zip with the changes. Much luck to all in the tackling of the /media issue! If I have some spare time, I may give it a try too.
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
I assumed that was some sort of escape characters for color/formatting. I've seen similar things in the past with other shells. It can probably be turned off, but I don't know how.
[Nook Color Android Development] numus:
Anyway to increase the SDCARD size.. putting this on an 8gb sd card
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
How do I kill mediaserver? Why would it be hanging?
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
Did you just notice this or has it always been like that for you?

For me it's always been like that in eclair,froyo,and honeycomb on the NC and i'm wondering if I set something up wrong or if my nook is messed up somehow(highly doubt)
[Nook Color Android Development] jzh797s:
Well I have dove into this thing head first, learned adb and all that goes w/ it. I have everything up and going so far except the market. I have pushed the market to the device successfully, but when I click to open it opens and immediately closes, not a FC. So it basically just flashes white and then back to the apps drawer.

Is this a familiar problem for anyone? I have no idea how to fix this one.
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
Grab Easeus Partition Manager from here:

The free version will do what you need.

[Nook Color Android Development] mrschmitz:
Has anyone else had any luck with Homerun Battle 3D?

Using this ROM (AWESOME, BTW), and able to install the game just fine from the Market. When it starts, a dialog box pops up saying "Error: information about your device cannot be retrieved due to an unstable platform status." Very odd message...

I tried putting the build fingerprint back to the "passion" one that the ROM comes stock with, but no love, even after rebooting (though that was a stab in the dark).

Do we have to somehow be more tricky in making the Nook look like a different device? There wasn't anything interesting (to me) in the logcat output. No errors or anything of note.
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
Yes, I've no desire to ever run this off internal memory. If I was able to mount the SD card on my PC it would fix the only issue that matters to me that I've noticed in this ROM. Looking forward to testing the update.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
so i had it going, pushed the vold files to get the sd card running, got some apps up, went to reboot into recovery, and now the dang thing wont turn on

screen stays jet black. but when i have it plugged into usb, i can hold the power button down to reset the nook and my computer chimes registering that it get disconnected doesnt show up in device manager or anything though
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
Did you try to format the SD in the Nook? Because that is what always did it for me. You have to format in a computer or another phone or something.
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
This never happened in stock or rooted-stock for me; but apparently it is just LF or escape characters being inserted. Not a big deal; but not sure why it's happening and makes me worry because things like ADB REMOUNT don't work as per usual.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
yep. i just flashed the stock boot thing and its turning on, but i guess i need to reflash froyo now cuz its giving me some trouble .
[Nook Color Android Development] jzh797s:
After replacing the build.prop file I am able to see the missing programs, but it bombs on install citing a "Missing shared library"?

anyone else seeing this?
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
I'm having this exact same problem with a handful of apps. Reading the logcat, it mentions something about google maps. Not really sure what I'm supposed to do here as I have maps installed and working properly.

On a side note its worth mentioning that all the apps that didn't work used google maps in some way. (Scheduling app, weatherbug)

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] Chuck6993:
You rock, just used this on my buddys nook, he's running Nookie Froyo 0.6.6
[Nook Color Android Development] mrschmitz:
I wonder if the problem is the same thing that is happening on Homerun Battle 3d, and since that app also somehow figures your location...
[Nook Color Android Development] compuguy1088:
In that case, hook up your nook, and post a logcat of the crash to pastebin.....
[Nook Color Android Development] mrschmitz:
I would, but it handles the error gracefully, and no crash, and just forces you to quit. Logcat doesn't show too much interesting stuff, but I suppose I will grab some relevant bits regardless.
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
I started from a blank SDcard and used the IMG release of 0.6.6. I made sure that it booted and then followed every step on this page that is not deprecated with the exceptions of Remapping buttons, 8.3 to 8.5 and Overclocking.

I'm headed to overclock it next!

The only issue I have so far is getting the number keys to work in the Terminal Emulator. Oh, and the XDA app force closes if you login.

[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
ive got this up and running but i still cant get rid of the damaged SD card problem

ive pushed vold.conf and vold.fstab as well as vold in system/bin (and changed permissions)

but both my cards still show up as damaged.

is there any other fix out there?
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
Bump, new version 0.6.7 available - should fix SD card woes, enable more Market apps, CWM flashable zip updated for more reliability.

If you aren't seeing apps you'd expect right away in Market ( Launcher Pro, ADW, etc ), you'll need to clear the Market app's cache.

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> 'All'

Select 'Market' from the list and 'Force Stop', then 'Clear Data'

Restart market and more apps should be available.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
When you get a minute, could you let us what you files you updated? Just to avoid reinstalling all the apps. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
There are instructions somewhere in this thread as well as at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo#Updating

/me points to the Search box up at the top there..

Also note that you can reflash the .zip file in CWM as often as you'd like - it does not touch /data at all, so your config and apps will remain intact.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Thanks for the quick update.

Edit: That makes things a lot easier. Again, thanks for the info and all your work.

[Nook Color Android Development] hvuong2:
version 0.6.7 works well. Installed it along with the Froyo OC 1.1ghz kernel...

Only issue(s) that I am noticing so far is as follows:

1) Charging is taking exceptionally long, even when using the AC adapter

2) Screen flickers and is quite noticible when turning screen on/off. I tried the workaround syntax in ADB, but it simply states that it cannot find the path/directory

3) I can finally see the SD card through Windows my computer, but the internal memory on the nook is seen as "Drive:I>" but when I click on the icon in Windows... it simply tells me to insert media... which tells me that it actually does not see the content but only that the memory is physically there.... strange...

location in maps.

Can anybody get there location to show up in maps with 5.9 6.6 or 6.7? I have tried deleting everything re installing clearing data cache ect. No luck. Before with 2.1 I was getting the location no problem. Fyi I have this installed on emmc.

Update base file link on your site to reflect the change

[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
HI there

I really appreciate your work here. I have tried every iteration of nookie froyo and on the latest I am having some major issues (both .6.6 and .6.7).

After boot, if I goto youtube it starts to work fine. Then shortly after it chokes on a video and short of rebooting can't play another video after. Also after this happens, if I try to play an mp3 form the stock music app it opens to a black screen and stalls....Yet if I goto mixzing an aftermarket player it works fine.

Quadrant on it even with oc kernel is about 500 points lower than on the .5.9 release of nookie and right off the bat you can see running the cpu tests it chokes for a bit on h.264 and aac testing. I suspect there is some bug still involving dsp and decodng that starts ok then crashes causing the multimedia issues I am having.

Also button savior doesn't work quite right anymore and I have to close and reopen it after boot to get back and menu to work..

If you can tell me how I would gladly send you some sort of log to help you figure what is going wrong but I am not well versed in android or linux so I would need instructions...

Thanks and keep up the great work.
[Nook Color Android Development] dillydawes:
Is this a flash over or do we need to clear out the data and cache? and i see some people are having issues with apps, is this wide spread ?
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
Does anyone else have the items in the notification window the incorrect size? I started with CW flash of 0.6.6 and just CW flashed 0.6.7 and it is the same with both. It is just like how the lock screen is really small, but then when you reboot it goes to correct size, except rebooting does not correct it. I haven't seen any other posts about this issue. I did a full wipe prior to installing both 0.6.6 and 0.6.7. Anyone else have this?
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
thanks for 0.6.7 i was going absolutely crazy trying to get my SD card to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] tomtbone:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've tried other versions including honeycomb on my sd card and they all worked. I flashed .6.7 here and all I get is force closes. I unlock the screen, click on softkeys and it gives me a softkeys force close. I click on Launcher and if gives me a force close error, I can't get past this point. Something I am missing here. I can run this off of the sd card right?
[Nook Color Android Development] m0sim:
I have been running NF and it's fantastic!

My only issue right now with the 0.6.6 build is if I leave my nook on for a while I can't get the screen to turn back on. I know there was another post about this, but I didn't seem to see any resolution on the topic.

My 0.5.9 image is fine if I leave it running for however many hours, it always turns back on without a hitch. Any ideas what could be causing this in 0.6.6? Or more importantly, what I should do to fix it?

Thanks!

Oh, and this is my first post on this thread... I just wanted to say thanks so much to Cicada! Haha, I convinced 4 of my friends to buy Nook Colors after they saw the awesomeness.

gottahaveit from slatedroid added this for the PDN. He's probably around here somewhere as well :)

If you want a jumpstart, here's the code commit from adding them to the source code:

http://code.google.com/p/pdn-slatedroid/source/detail?r=44

Lotta changes, but conceptually doesn't look too bad.

EDIT: Actually, he has code for long-press functionality as well. Maybe long-press VolUp=Back, long-press VolDown=Menu would be good? Then they'd always be accesible.

Does this install it on the internal memory or does it run off of the microSD? If it installs it on the intermal memory, is there a way to backup before playing with this?

Samsung Vibrant running Axura 2.2 Voodoo 5 JL5 via the XDA app
[Nook Color Android Development] ZeroSX:
It installs to and runs off the microSD. We don't have a custom recovery yet so flashing to the eMMC is dangerous.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
There is a "custom recovery" called dd.
[Nook Color Android Development] BertoJG:
lol

dd allows you to take a block level backup of the internal memory. See the wiki for details.
[Nook Color Android Development] ZeroSX:
Try explaining dd to someone who knows very little about android/Linux. First thing I did when I got my nook was dump the partitions with dd lol.

For some reason it just keeps telling me "unable to execute root" when I press any button except the Home button. Home button seems to work fine.

From the tips:

If you are experiencing slow response time, try recalibrating.

Also go into Settings->Sound and turn off haptic feedback. This has been reported to make a big difference.

Also try touching for a few moments longer rather than multiple times. Don't break your screen by punching it with your finger!
