I've been using Wi-Fi Keep Alive and it completely resolves the issue. Under Advanced Options, enable Workaroud 2. Battery life remains fantastic.

There is also an excellent *free* CPU overclocker called No-frills CPU Control that works very nicely too.
[Nook Color Android Development] xenuprime:
Thanks, I'll try that. I was also wondering where apps are stored? Under application management you can move them from phine to sd, but when it says phone does that mean the internal memory?
[Nook Color Android Development] case-sensitive:
This is a keeper!

I've tried all four 0.6.8 images, and this is BY FAR the best! I've been running it for two days and I have not a single FC, the market works, wifi comes back a few seconds after I wake up the NC from sleep.

One minor quirk: quadrant still hangs at the audio stage (12/12) of the CPU test (OC to 1.1GHz), but otherwise I have no complain. It's a keeper!

Feature request: it is possible to include http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

in a future update? I use root explorer to manually edit the cache size from 128K to 2048K and it makes a measurable difference in read/write speed, but it reverts back to the old value upon boot. The aforementioned link has a CWM zip for making permanent change, but I couldn't figure out how to use CWM with this sdcard install. The alternative does not work either since (as others have already reported) the 0.6.8 image does not seem to have a /system/etc/init.d directory.

MANY THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
Correct. Internal (phone) apps live in /data/app
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I can make it permanent. Is it a noticeable difference? Thanks for the tip. I am about to roll out another image tomorrow. (Black status bar, notification window and menus) I will add this to the /init.rc.
[Nook Color Android Development] xenuprime:
So what happened to the apps I downloaded when I was using the older versions of nookie, are they still in here somewhere taking up space?
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
When you flash a new image to your SD card, you will lose everything on it. I switched to the eMMC version to avoid this problem and use Titanium Backup prior to any upgrades (as well as CWM image backup, just in case).

I suspect there may be a way to back up your apps to internal memory when using the SDCard version, but I'll have to defer to others with expertise in this area. You can also use apps such as Appbrain to sync the apps remotely for easy resurrection.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcumbertop:
Brian, the new .4 is FANTASTIC! What a HUUUUGE improvement over the .2 (that I was already happy with!) I was so excited to put it on my eMMC, but it doesn't look like it's available yet. Are you planning on making it available for eMMC install?? :D
[Nook Color Android Development] case-sensitive:
In terms of noticeable difference: I used the free app "sd tools" as benchmark; my write speed went up from 3.7-low 4's Mb/s to 4.7-5.1.

As for making it permanent: as you can tell from the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807 the exact cache value to be used depends on the sdcard itself. The thread says 2048 works well for many cards; 3072 seems to be a better choice for users with better cards. YMMV.

MANY THANKS!

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest dalingrin kernel and AK having problems with the file in the system/lib directory. I can't find where this file already exists so I added it to the directory on my SD and my nook wont boot with it there. anybody know what to do with this file when upgrading to dalingrin 3/31 SD kernal. it works without this file in place. Also I can only get a maximum clock speed of 1ghz with this kernel.

Hello, I dont have a Nook (i have an EVO, anyways) but was helping my uncle load this on this last night and everything works great except for one thing: The market apps will not install. Market appears to work, wifi is on, it downloads, but always says download failed. Other strange thing is in the market "my apps" menu shows all of the apps as if they are installed but they are not. Is there something I am missing?

4/3 Issues

I just updated to the 4/3 image file and am experiencing a couple of odd issues:

1. Cannot connect to a WiFi network who's WPA password is 7 characters (seems to require a minimum password length of 8 characters)

2. Virtual keyboard is overly sensitive and registering many false double characters and/or multiple key presses when entering text into email address and/or password fields

3. WiFi will not stay connected reliably

4. Market can see applications but downloads are failing with a "Download was unsuccessful, please try again" error message.

Any ideas what might be the problem? I'm still reasonably new to Android and willing to help out however I can.

Thx.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Delete the data from Google Services Framework and clear the cache from Market. Do both under Settings>Applications>All Apps tab then reboot.

Did the previous versions require only 7 characters for the WPA key? I have more then 7 in mine so I did not notice this. The only difference between this version and the previous version is some stuff to the status bar. If you still have keyboard problems after the reboot, go into No-frills CPU control and set the speed to 1.0 Ghz.

Thanks for the tip re: deleting the data/cache for Google Services Framework; I can now download applications from the Market.

Keyboard problem persists even when the CPU is set to 800MHz. I also downloaded the Swype keyboard but despite selecting Swype in Settings->Language & Keyboard the Android keyboard continues to come up when entering text.

Is anyone else having any screen sensitivity issues (i.e., multiple keyboard presses registered for each letter entered) with the 4/3 SD image?

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:

[Nook Color Android Development] morgej:
I did a reload of the image and that cleared my screen sensitivity issue.

However, I am now not able to see my applications in the market. I get a "No matching content in Android Market" when opening the market even after clearing the data and cache for the Google Services Framework and Market.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again for all the help! Much appreciated.

Update: I have internet access (I am able to browse the internet and am receiving my gmail). Additionally, when I do go into the market and attempt a search, I am not getting good results (i.e., a search for "Amazon mobile" does not show the Kindle application).
[Nook Color Android Development] cheezer38:
Just wanted too confirm.

Delete data for google framework

Delete cache for market. Do not delete data for market.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Not all apps will show up due to the fact that we don't have an IMEI number. Only phones will have that number. The only think I can suggest is to download them to your phone, pull them, then install them on you nook. If you don't know how to due this, I can download them and attach them to a post when I get home.

Update: When I do a search in the Market for those apps, they show no problems. I searched for Amazon and they are both listed.
[Nook Color Android Development] morgej:
I went ahead and did the following but am still receiving the "no matching content in Android Market" when I open the Market app:

* Delete data for google framework

* Delete cache for market. Do not delete data for market.

I do not believe that the missing IMEI number is the issue here because prior versions (including v4 that i loaded yesterday) showed the apps in the market correctly.

Any other thoughts?

Thx.

(Thanks for the offer of pulling the apps I was looking for...much appreciated!)

I think this is a Amazon Appstore issue... It seems you can't move data from one Android device to another (via Titianium at least). Doing a fresh install only DOES seems to work in my experiments, but you will lose your save games from your previous device since you can't move data... :/

Excellent ROM. Super easy installation, so far (4 days) it's been flawless. Seems faster than most of the other ROMs I've tried. Also seems to use a bit more battery than some although not bad enough to cause a problem. I really appreciate the work to develop and refine this program.

I think your issue is that you signed to the Market using a Google account that is already assigned to another device. Try to connect using a new account and see if the issue is resolved.

Apps won't install

OK guys, I've been playing with this for several hours now, but I cannot get Market to work completely. It appears to download apps, but they don't install. There is a little check mark on my notification bar, but when I tap it nothing happens.

I deleted the data from Google Services Framework and cleared the cache from Market and then rebooted. But I still cannot get the apps to install.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Update:

Yo, peeps!

Wow, has this thread shut down or what? Am I the only one here?

If you're reading this, feel free to chime in. ;)

Is anybody else experiencing their nook reverting back to stock 1.2 after a couple of hours or so? My froyo is running pretty well now off the SD card, but if I put it to sleep and don't turn it on until a couple of hours later, it's back to stock.

In the scheme of things, this is just a mild inconvenience; I just power down and reboot and I'm back on froyo. But is there any way to keep it from going back to stock?

Thanks to any of you who might still be here!

I've been thinking about trying CM7, but have heard it is not all that stable, has problems playing videos, etc. What is your experience with it?

I hope this isn't a death knell for NFYC 0.6.8! :eek:

I like the look and feel of NFYC SD v6, but the reboots and widget errors mean I can't use it as a standard application.

I've also noticed that 'Cell Standby' is chewing up a lot of battery power (at least in the battery report), which is something it didn't do in v4.

I have a current install, how do I update to new release?

Currently running well on 16gb class 6 bootable microSD card.

How do I update my existing 'system disk' with updated content?

I do have spare 2gb cards to copy img file to, do I re-image and

then dd the 1st three partitions to original card? Are the apks

and their data for non-system apks on the /sdcard partition (p4)?

I'm a little unsure how the file system layout compares to

my Incredible's file system layout for its Froyo.

Is there a clockwork recovery modified to be aware of the

Nookie Froyo SD card partitioning? I have a bootable CWR

3.0.2.8 SD but it updates emmc not the sd card.

Here is the link to making a SDCard image.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

Here is the link to the nightly build.

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=encore

All you really need to do is grab the image from the first link and burn it to an sdcard. The next step is to copy a nightly build zip (the second link) then boot your nook using the sdcard that you just created. Installing google apps is a little tricky. After that, you will just need to customize it to your liking. One tip, do not play around with ROM Manager with the sdcard image. It will alter your internal memory.

My last final exam was today and I will have some time on my hands to create a CM7 sdcard image with somethings preconfigured for those people who don't want to go through all the steps.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
dd'ing the first three partitions should work. What I would do is dd the entire device of your working sdcard just to make a backup. If your test does not working you can always go back.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
I've noticed this problem and have asked about over and over again w/o any help or response to the issue. In fact, this happens in all Nookie Froyo based roms and it seems to be trigger when playing hardware accelerated videos (mp4s). The weird thing is that it doesn't happen right away, but usually by the 2 or 3rd videos played. I observe this not only in tv.com but in other apps such Vevo, Moviefone, Movies when watching videos or trailers. It also happens when playing mp4 videos off the memory card.

[Q] Install NF on SD for family member?

My sister asked me to build a NF bootable SD for her. She has her own

NC and a gmail.com account its registered to,

If I build it, and do a Titanium Backup (to save the apk's). What do I

do to set it up for her NC? I mean when that SD card is booted on her

NC it will be using the /rom partition from its emmc to ID the device right?

So it should recognize her gmail.com for Android Market and Amazon Market?

Restoring the apk's should make them aware of apps needing updates then?

Thanks

[Nook Color Android Development] andrewddickey:
You're still using Froyo!? :-)

Use something like Titanium Backup to uninstall Market Updater. That will keep it from checking for new versions of the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
There is no reason to still be using froyo at this point.. Update to cm7, and all your issues are fixed..
[Nook Color Android Development] madfatter:
nope. as soon as you take the sd out it will return to original. aslso if you are having trouble seeing your internal memory on nookie froyer. download terminal emulator. open it up. type

su

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /media

exit

it will mount your internal storage to media. alternatly you can create a folder on your sd card and mount it there.

this can also be done through adb
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
That's correct. Just run froyo from sdcard then pull the sdcard to run the stock rooted setup
[Nook Color Android Development] Nooter:
I second this question.

This is freakin awesome. I just downloaded it and installed it and it is very workable. I can't wait to install internally, but I like it a lot. I can even put my Nook back to stock and just put in the SD card when I want to fly.

There is a know problem with Windows and removable media with multiple partitions.

http://windows.bigresource.com/Win7...partitions-on-removable-devices-GEWogGP1.html

There might be away around it by flipping the Removal Media Bit, at that point, Windows would be able to see it as a hard disk. I am not sure what effect that would have on the nook though. I used EaseUS to delete and recreate it on a Windows box and was getting the same result except it was showing up as a logical partition even though I chose primary. Still was not able to mount the drive using the nook.

If anyone has any ideas, I will be happy to try them out. BTW, it works find in Linux.
