I just put a new image out there. This should take care of FC, Market, and wifi issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I recompiled the filesystem, but kept the old browser. I will load the new browser.apk to see if this fixes the problem. I will let you know the out come. I wish I had read this post before putting the new image out there.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Is there a way to update without reloading? I just redid it yesterday, may wait for never version as it looks like there are things I will be looking forward to!

I just never turn WiFi off (Advanced WiFi Locker)
[Nook Color Android Development] cheezer38:
Thank you. I will try it out tonight.

Is youtube play back working on this rom?

Just tried the 3/15/11 Custom Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (2 GB Image).3 and I am still getting WiFi and Marketplace issues, along with the browser not working.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Anyone have Wifi Location working?

What going to try this, but looks like its for 2.1?

Marketplace is touch and go for me. Broswer force closes. Dolphin says flash needs to be installed when it clearly is. Wifi is fine (on WEP).
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Yes, download it to from the market.

Attaching working browser

Copy the flash apk to /sdcard. You can use astro to do this. Afterwards, un-install flash then use astro and re-install it from /sdcard by tapping the apk.

I just tried the latest customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (2 GB Image).3 -- three times in fact, once on a 8GB card without

resizing/rebuilding /sdcard, once resizing /sdcard, and the third time deleting and rebuilding /sdcard. All three times the ROM eventally FC.

If I use the 2G image redirectly I can't even sign in to google talk (as part of the initial sign in). If I resize/rebuild /sdcard, I was able to sign in and download apps from the market, but eventually (say 15-20 min later) I still got into FC loops. I don't know how relevant this is, but FC seems to begin AFTER I start running titanium to back up old files. In fact I have difficulty initializing titanium (the part where you click "having troubles" to download busybox). And I definitely get FC when I try to run google maps.

When the ROM does run this is definitely an improvement over the first 0.6.8 image (8G) -- linpac & quadrant's scores were higher. Speaking of quadrant, it did hanged a couple of times in the CPU test, either at the 10/12 test (h.264) or 11/12 (ACC audio).

I **really** appreciate all the work you put into this. Keep up with the good work!
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
Brian, is your build based on CM7 #xx that has the Bluetooth capabilities baked in? If not, when would that trend as part of the core to your build? I enjoy and appreciate the base config you put together in your SD builds. I know the BT work is in it's infancy so keep us posted if/when you integrate that.

google talk authentication failure & FC

Quasi-update/part 2 of post #741:

I decided to try img.3 one more time. First I reverted back to 0.6.8 img.1 (8G version); everything works (and is bit more sluggish than image.3), so my card is not defective. Then I reformatted the card, burned image.3, resize /sdcard to fill up the card, and then run it. As soon as I sign into google I got "google talk authentication failure" again. I was able to access gmail & the market, but I wasn't able to download any app. I already tried the market hack (clear out cache, forced stop etc) but that didn't work.

I tried to reboot, several times in fact, but at least a couple of times the NC hanged on the "android" screen (the one that has just one word, in plain text). Everytime that happens, I turned out the NC and the problem went away on the next boot.

The default browser FC, so do a few other apps like maps. Titanium FC a lot (media.process...). I saw post #740 about a replacement browser but I have not tried that (my main concerns are FC & sign in).

Given that img.1 works but is a bit more sluggish, I wonder if these issues might be related to the new kernel in img.2 & img.3?

I did all these once more, without resize /sdcard and I still get FC on img.3, so resizing shouldn't be the issue.

Thanks for your hard work & effort!
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
First, I want to clarify that I really appreciate the work by BrianF21 and all the devs.

Having said that, perhaps I am missing something, but with B&N about to release a 2.2 update (Froyo) for the stock Nook Color, then I think that Dev work done on 2.2 is a dead end. Someone will update the Autonooter for B&N 2.2 and then Froyo will no longer be a kluge.

In the meantime, Google is about to release the real Honeycomb 3.0 and so perhaps at that point devs should focus on that. That is a Tablet OS, and even the preview seems more suited to Nook Color than any of the other ROMs.

Of course, it is your spare time to do what you want to do, it is just a thought.
[Nook Color Android Development] bucketheadmn:
Has this been officially announced? I can not find it anywhere besides some weblogs.

Also wondering what others are getting with battery life running .2? I left mine unplugged today at home and just noticed that with under 8 hours of sleep battery was down to 15%.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
No, not officially, but the number of different B&N employees who are casually talking about it is growing, and they mention specific features, and all say by the end of March.

If something is going to be released to the public at the end of March, then it is currently released to Beta testers (probably all B&N employees).
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
I would say the only major and I mean MAJOR functionality that will not (likely) be in any B&N update is the Bluetooth capability that has been worked on from the ground up by the CM7 team incl. occip. They had to backport a recent kernel (2.3.32) to make this happen. Still early on in the DEV cycle with some distance/signal strength issues, but some BT keyboards, earpieces, GPS and pairings have been working. This was not part of the core B&N 2.1 ROM and highly doubt it would be part of 2.2 either. That said, never say never :) This effort as you mentioned is still on a 2.X version vs. Honey 3.X, so who knows if adventurous devs will take on BT with Honeycomb down the line.
[Nook Color Android Development] motrid:
Thanks for your continued efforts Brian, I am enjoying using the SD to play with the continually improved Froyo implementation.

I do have one problem though that did not exist on Custom 2, I can't get my Earthlink email account to work using the email app. It allows me to enter the email address and password but pressing next does nothing. I have tried rebooting, to no avail. Worked fine in Custom 2.

I am enjoying the improvements in each of your iterations, thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
The problem with Honeycomb right now is no one has the source code. Once that is released, then I think the Honeycomb image will improve, until then there is not much anyone can do with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] surfer1010:
Brian, thanks for all the hard work you do. The new image installed fine for me and am experiencing no problems with it. Just wanted to let you know that I still had to do the delete data for Google Services Framework and cache for Market under settings then reboot thing. Other than that all is good; Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I have my doubts about BN releasing Froyo. There is no business reason for BN to do it. They make money on selling ebooks, not the NC. For every NC BN sells, BN's net operating margin goes down. Wall St likes net operating margin.

I guess we will know in two weeks.
[Nook Color Android Development] dweezilz:
Brian, I really appreciate all your hard work!! Wanted to report findings. 3rd try with class 10 8GB Patriot card...no go. Things work at first, then I start getting FC's in the market, dolphin browser, gallery, etc... Original browser FC's immediately every time. I burned the image to the card with winimage after quick format with formatSD. I used Easeus to drag the last partition to full capacity. Do you think that is the issue? Should I delete it and recreate the 4th?
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
In my ROM I set the LCD Density to 205 and my drop-down was full width :)
[Nook Color Android Development] noisufnoc:
what do you use to change that?

on a side note, is there an easy way to upgrade from the previous version? or do you have to start from scratch every time?
[Nook Color Android Development] cheezer38:
I have the class 10 8GB Patriot card. V3 seems to work for me. I just tested it.

How long before you get FC. I was having problem with FC when I was using V2.

I will test it out more tomorrow. Maybe I will get FC later. I will keep you posted.

Update: I got FC but go away after reboot.

Update2: I got FC again. I think it is due to WIFI. Set Date/time - automatic - check off. see if it would fix the problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] moonpie28:
BN has indicated they are going to make their own market I think. Google has increased functionality in 2.2 and above in that area. Don't know about 2 weeks though.

Common issues with latest build

I have been following the comments and suggestions on fixes etc on the latest .3 build. I have replaced the browser, deleted cache/data market, I got the google talk error as well(disappeared not sure why) and a few other minor tweaks. I had everything working, then went to expand my storage for my 8GB card and somehow caused an error in the sdcard, as I get a warning saying it is corrupt and should be formatted, and no way to clear from status bar. Good thing is I have 2 sdcards, and have a semi-perfect .1 version that works.

My only problem is I get random reboot to Nook OS in 0.6.8.1? Any ideas why? I will put in sleep, and randomly hear my nook boot into the Nook OS? Not a big deal but odd!!

Thank you for all your hard work on this, I can't wait for Honeycomb source to get released, and a proper honeycomb build to come out.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I think it might be the Patriot card. Early in this thread a lot of people were complaining about the Patriot cards. I don't think it has anything to do with resizing the partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] xliderider:
I put this image on my 8gb Samsung class 6 card and I like the speed that everything loads and the responsiveness of this rom running from sd card. :D

However, the wifi connect/disconnect issue is still present. Haven't been able to even get a wifi connection to test the Market. :( (Edit: I set my Date and Time to local time and my wifi connected right up, I think that was the problem.)

Also, would we be able to get a version with a black notification bar and buttons? :)
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
This is so bizarre!

Once I get the new (3/15) 2gb image flashed to the SD Card, I cannot delete and recreate or resize that final "sdcard" partition.

I've tried MiniTool Partition Wizard as well as Easus Partition Manager.

I can flash an 8gb image, I just can't resize the sdcard partition with the 2gb image.

Is there any chance you could produce an 8gb image of the 3/15 build, or provide some guidance on how I could update the *.IMG file from 2gb to 8gb, before I flash.

Best regards,

-boggsie
[Nook Color Android Development] betaboy00:
what steps did you do with EASEUS Partition Manager.

I have no problems deleting or wiping the 4th partition and recreate a larger partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] dc52317:
I had a similar problem, I was able to modify/resize the 4th partition, but I kept getting a sdcard error.
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
I am starting to wonder if this might be a local PC issue. I have Win7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1. I am using the latest version of each utility, but what is interesting is that the built in Windows Disk Manager is also unable to manage this partition in any way.

Exact same problem using both 16gb and 8 gb cards. Can't delete and recreate or resize that last partition.

Right click on the 4th partition, select delete from the context menu.

Select ok from the confirm message.

Apply changes ... deleted partition confirmation message received.

Right click, create

Respond yes to the logical partition warning

create

sdcard

primary

fat32

Ok, Apply changes

Yes

Error occurred while formatting FAT partition ... every time.

Best regards,

-boggsie
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
I was finally able to delete and recreate that fourth partition on the new 2gb SD card image.

I had to toggle back and forth between Easus and MiniTool delete, create as NTFS, reformat as FAT32, change type from Logical to Primary.

whew

Best regards,

-boggsie
[Nook Color Android Development] dweezilz:
I'll give that a try. Just to be clear, what is time auto update and does it have anything to do with wifi?

I also just tried on my 4GB class 10 Patriot and got the same results. Lots of FC's in different browsers and also it seems the wifi isn't always as quick as it should be. I just tried CM7 via SD and it was really quick and snappy. No FC's but without any video working...to me it's worthless. Would love to get this froyo working from SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] toomuchgame441:
I really wanted this to work... I have an 8 GB card, guess I'll wait until a 8GB SD build is built, my current Nookie build is working ok with some touchscreen issues and the browser being laggy with some of my frequently visited sites.
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
The new status bar icons are so sweet, but I've now been through three SD Cards and all report corrupt upon insertion into the nook (after resizing). Also experiencing issues with marketplace, browser. This is with xxx.3 of the archive.

Thanks for continued support for us SD card hax0rs!

[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
Have you repartitioning that 4th partition using gparted on a Linux live cd? Wonder if that would work for you?
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
I'll have to look into that. Thank you for the suggestion.

Best regards,

-boggsie
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I just put a update out there. It is only the framework files that I put in the update. It is not the entire sdcard. You will need to copy the files that are in the zip to /system/framework/ directory.

For people having problems with the default browser just needs to change the default homepage. That is why it is getting FC's. As soon as you open the browser, tap in the browser and choose any other page. Don't let the default homepage load. This will allow you to go into setting to change the default homepage.

For people having problems with Easus, try right click the Easus icon then run as administrator. When you see the 4th partition, drag it to the right and click apply on the bottom left hand corner. If someone does a howto with screen shots, I will link it to the first post.

I am really excited about this update. It looks really good and I would like people to be able to use it without re-image their sdcard. So, if anyone wants to jump with a solution, please be my guess. Keep in mind that not everyone has adb installed.

If you can't install this due to lack knowledge, I will have something in place tomorrow evening that anyone can apply.

Enjoy!
[Nook Color Android Development] comdei:
Hey, could you do an update to the emmc version if you have time

I like it much better
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Do you have adb installed? This applies to the emmc people too. I just wanted to test it out on the sdcard people first. I need to create a CWR image for the emmc people to make it easy for them to install, but if you know how to use adb, then you can just push this to the /system/framework/ directory.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
Brian,

Am I dumb? I can't find a link to today's framework.zip. Should it be on your OP?

Edit: Yep, I'm dumb!! I just found it. I'm about to try it on eemc...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Let me know how it works out.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
I notice there are a few extra files in my /system/framework directory that are not in the download.

Do I simply push the whole unzipped folder to /system & replace the existing directory - or do I push each file in the download to the existing /system/framework directory?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Just push the files. You can leave any other files that are in the directory alone. Note the permissions of the current files and the permissions of the files after the copy.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
Brian,

Works great on eemc! Here's what I did:

1) Download framework.zip and expand

2) In RootExplorer changed /system/framework to RW

3) adb push all the files to /system/framework (I did them one at a time) - I didn't know if "adb push * /system/framework" would work.

4) adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/*

5) In RootExplorer set /system/framework to RO

6) Reboot nook

and "home", "menu" & "back" are on the notification bar. Goodbye ButtonSavior!!!

Many, many thanks for all your work.
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
WINNER ... bootcd into unbuntu, fire up gparted and the partition resized just fine.

Now I gotta figure out how to get the update framework files on to the sd card. :)

Thanks again for the tip.

Sweet got this working great - very easy install - burned to a 8GB class 4 Kingston card, winimage went smooth, popped it in and rebooted and wala - Froyo!

Installed Awesome drop for easy file transfers and apk installs

some website flash not work (vimeo, youtube) other sites work but volume is very low

flash chat works

now only other thing i noticed was dolphin browser felt sluggish/slow responsiveness

other than that excellent progress thanks brian!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I left the other browser on the image so we have a choice.
[Nook Color Android Development] wretchedlocket:
It will burn just fine, but mine ran horribly slow. Of course, the 2Gb card is a Class 2 card so that could have something to do with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Yes the 4gb image on a 4gb card. Windows says its a 2.75gb FAT partition but it wont let me format it to FAT32

My 4gb card is a class 4 and it runs GREAT!!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I just posted another image with special instructions to fit any card over 1 GB. Try that image and let me know how it works if you don't mind. Another user put the 4 GB image on a 2 GB and was getting the same results.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
It should already be formated. Are you still in USB debugger mode? The tools that comes with windows will not allow you to format if there are ext2 and ext3 partitions. If you are not in USB debugger mode, then try the new image and instructions that I just put up.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Is anyone have success with the 4 GB image? Can you access the sdcard if you take it out of USB debugger mode?
[Nook Color Android Development] sugwacee:
so sad,

[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Does the new process create the new partition in FAT32? The partition is currently there I just cant access it with windows. Linux will access it and I can access it with root explorer on the NC I just want to be able to add some files to it from windows
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
How do I get adb working with this? I had it working on my rooted NC now I would like it working on NF. I checked nookdevs.com but I couldn't find it
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Anyone having trouble with the Market missing a lot of apps?
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
I think thats because of the type of device that NF "copies" so we can have a working market. I think we clone a nexus one
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Hmm, none of the opera apps are coming up for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I think I figured out the problem. Windows will only recognize the first primary partition on a removable drive. The only fix I can offer is to setup a dropbox account.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Try the market fix from here.

[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Already did that. It would just be nice to be able to drag and drop
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
How do I get adb working?
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Not true. Let's look at the paritions and I'll show you why :)

N: boot...........FAT32 (117 MB) Active <-- FAT32. Windows knows how to read it, and it's active. You can see boot.

*: system........EXT2 (149 MB) None <-- Uh oh, EXT2. That's a linux readable partition.

*: data............EXT3 (698 MB) None <-- Uh oh, EXT2. That's a linux readable partition.

*: ..................FAT32 (6 GB) None <-- It's a FAT32 partition, but it's set to "none". If this were active, it might be readable.

Flash drive and hard drives are identical to computers. If you put 2 partitions on a flash drive, both will show up. It just has to be in a format (pun intended) that Windows (in this case) can read.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
What did I say that was not true? :confused:

I said that I had already installed dropbox and that it would be nice if we could drag and drop instead of using dropbox.

It may already be partitioned but we can't access it with windows.
[Nook Color Android Development] gormly:
OK I feel stupid but do not want to make a mistake.

I have a fully rooted nook that I LOVE, but I would like to check this out.

Is this, pop it in, works like Froyo, pop it out, it's back to what I had?

Will this do anything to my current config?

Thanks...
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
Wow, I thought I had a little bit of game when it came to this stuff, but I am just struggling through one thing after the other.

I finally got the SD card to resize via a linux boot CD, but I can't get dolphin or browser to run with any stability. I tried to get the new package update installed and I managed to screw things up so bad the the SD card failed to boot.

I really appreciate the help and effort, but I'm apparently going to have to wait for a new IMG to flash to the SD card. :(

Great job thank you. Use Ubuntu live cd to copy franework.zip over to sdcard. everything seems great.

Nook freezes/disconnect if ADB into

I am trying to update the files from framework.zip but every time I ADB into the device, the device locks up completely and ADB errors out. Initially ADB will list the device and I can execute the ls command also. But as soon as Nook sleeps , it will not wake up and ADB device will list as no device found. I have to then press power and the N button for the device to reboot. Did anyone encounter this error?
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
That is what I had tried, but I couldn't get th file owner and rights to a point where I could copy over ... I went ahead and flashed the eMMC version, thinking it would be easier ... still no joy for a b00n like me!
