Thanks for the release.

I tried 0.6.8 on SD card. It boots successfuly and looks nice. However, I can not get market work correctly. After adding my google account, google talk can not sign-in/authenticate correctly. I can see apps in market but can not download.

I tried:

(1) clear market, google service framework data

(2) sign in gtalk from a PC

But I still can not download anything from market:(
[Nook Color Android Development] noisufnoc:
I originally tried this ROM on a 8GB Class 2 SanDisk uSD and everything worked pretty well, I bought an 8GB Class 6 Transcend uSD and it seems to be slower/more FC than before. Am I crazy? or is there an issue with that particular card?

I put both cards in my machine and dd'ed from one to the other, which should have just made an exact copy yeah?

I'm going to try a reinstall right now and see.
[Nook Color Android Development] eNkrypt:
Can anyone explain to me why I have a 2GB SDCard and when I try to burn the image it says there is not enough room. I have formatted the SDCard as FAT32 but the size available on the SDCard is 1.83gb and the image is 1.89gb.
[Nook Color Android Development] Alakar:
Here is why.

[Nook Color Android Development] Damager78:
This is crazy, I would imagine a class 6 card would be better. I ran Froyo on a class 4 card and it worked okay, I am waiting for a class 6 card to arrive and see if it runs even better.
[Nook Color Android Development] tkdsl:
Hello Guys, does anybody have a better link to download the 8GB ver ?

The links on the first port are not working.

thank you

Anyone knows how to increase the data partition, EXT3, for more application installation?
[Nook Color Android Development] xliderider:
Use Easeus:

http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm

I had to burn the 2gb image on my 8gb card because the 8gb image was too large. I used Easeus partition manager to recoup the unallocated space on the card.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
There is a tool that has been mentioned several times in this thread so far.

EASEUS Partition manager I think.
[Nook Color Android Development] 10507:
Yes, I did resize the 4th partition. However, I still am unable to resize the EXT3(data) to anything larger than 600+mb.Easeus will not let me select and resized the data partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] noisufnoc:
Thats what I thought, I'll report back what the reinstall does.
[Nook Color Android Development] flyboypr:
Hey wanted to thank you guys for all the hard work. Loving this ROM on my nook. Was running Honeycomb, now tried this one out and like it very much. Thanks again and keep up the hard work.
[Nook Color Android Development] Damager78:
Just curious to know if anyone knows what the difference is between the 8GB image and the 2GB image?
[Nook Color Android Development] Morantz:
That would be the partition size. Contents of the partitions is unchanged otherwise.

[Nook Color Android Development] scratchfury:
I've had an issue twice where after the device has been idle with the screen off for a while, I can't get the screen to turn on. I know the nook is on because the volume keys still make the adjustment noises. I end up either connecting via adb and issuing a reboot or holding down the power button for 15 seconds to make it reboot.

Today I also saw it boot into eMMC without me touching it as well.

[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
Did you reboot after clearing the cache/data? That takes care of it for me every time. Once you get that, Market Enabler from the Market keeps me from having to do that every so often.

On the ROM itself, worked great on my Transcend Class 6. However, the app load times and downloads were a little slow. I finally flashed it instead last night and things were a heckuva lot quicker.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:

Anyone have flash working? I tried playon says I need flash player. Tried reinstalling already.

Edit: For some reason it started working. Maybe restarting a few times after reinstalling and trying m.flash.com got it to work. Yea! <--- Excited, now I can play netflix and hulu on the nookie!

On a side note, does this build need a kernel swap to try OCing? I wanted to play with OCing.
[Nook Color Android Development] milan616:
It has dalingrin's kernel built in. Get SetCPU from here on xda or support the developer by buying it from the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] noisufnoc:
I'm running Nookie Froyo v0.6.8 off of a Transcend 8GB class 6 uSD. It seems like after a short period of use, I get a message from the Force Close of Google Services Framework (com.google.process.gapps) and then nothing works. Shortly after that message, any running app (Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc) Force Closes and I have to reboot to fix. Is there something wrong with the card I'm using? or is this a known bug?

I started a thread about problems in gparted when I created the uSD, not sure if those are related or not. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=986809

Edit: My current setup is in my signature, but this was happening yesterday before I tried the new Kernel or the boot menu mod.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
A couple of questions:

- Is there any sort of functionality difference between booting off the uSD card instead of eMMC ? (Since most people root, there doesn't seem to be any discussion of the difference between "booting" or "rooting" in terms of using the NC.)(Yes I know that some report performance differences, but that is different from functionality.)

- Are there any other images for uSD card ? This seems to be the only one that I have found.

Many thanks for any help on this and huge thanks to brian21 for creating the image !
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
I was seriously about to bash my skull in.

I finally found out that the 8gb image might have a problem mounting the boot instead of sdcard. Storage was under 150mb I believe.

Used the 2gb and it had 850mb or so on the SDcard.

Then extended the 4th partition on a 16gb card to give it 13.71gb of storage. Thanks Brian for this custom image. Pretty good stuff. Of course there are going to be glitches, but figure it all out is part of the fun of this device.
[Nook Color Android Development] Damager78:
I got my 8GB class 6 card, froyo runs very well off of it. I haven't had many problems, market freezes up a bit every now and then, but the downloads are fine. YouTube works fine, so do a number of apps.

Initially I tried Honeycomb on the SD card, but it was very sluggish. Maybe when they come up with the better version I'll try it. But I'm happy running Froyo off the SD card (and the Nook remains untouched for my wife to use).
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Should be under /media
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Using 3.0.0.6 formats cache as ext4. Use the 3.0.0.5. That will format it as ext3, then you will be able to download.
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
Does anyone know if you can just give the MicroSD to another person after using it inside your Nook? Is there any hardware ID that will give it an error?

A friend wants to play with this, and I already have it installed on my EEMC. Trying to set it up the way I have it and then just mail him the MicroSD. Thanks.

Can the NC still be able to read things like B&N color ebooks, children's books with sound, magazine subscriptions, and things like that under the Nook Android app?
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
Yes, no, no, ?. How do I know this? I entered 'nook android app' into google and clicked the first link. C'mon people:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] TheSapient:
I was wondering if this ROM had a version that was different in some way. Because it was created for, you know, the Nook Color. I'm trying to see if this would be a good thing for my wife's device. Sorry my question caused such tragedy for you.
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
I'm not trying to give you grief brother, just seemed a bit obvious. My logic tells me the app would dictate more of what will/will not work 1st, then deeper down OS constraints. Given the app description covers most of the answers I busted you a bit. In other threads, folks have stated that the kids book reader in the app didn't work and I also gave it a try on Brian's 0.6.8 build...No go on Froyo. The good news is if you keep your rooted 2.1 in flash and this on SD. The kids reader will work on the rooted stock. Hope this helps you :)
[Nook Color Android Development] dkd711:
got a Nook 1.1 just ran auto nooter 3 and got the market working. Installed RomManger and flashed recovery. Downloaded this uSD and burnt to SD card upoon boot it goes to clockwork recovery instead of booting from the SD card?

What did I miss?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
OOPS NM wrong thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Brian:(or anyone who thinks they might know)

I was running this uSD card Froyo on my new NC, so I decided to activate the Android Market and download and run some apps.

Everything was fine until I downloaded and ran a VNC viewer. I gave it the wrong address, but instead of saying "cannot connect", it hung, but I was able to go into other apps, but things were becoming flakey due to this, so I decided to reboot, by turning off and turning back on.

The NC then hung on " Android_ " with the blinking underscore.

I removed the uSD card and did a soft reset and it came up into B&N stock just fine.

My guess is that I need to rewrite the uSD card image, otherwise it will hang again on startup, but is there any files on the uSD card that I can delete to stop the hang and save my setup from being cleared by writing a new image ?

Thanks !
[Nook Color Android Development] dkd711:
Ok I ran the clockwork removal.zip and now it boots into CW 3.0.5 now everytime I try to boot this SD burn.

I've root and flashed the crap out of my EVO and EVO shift so I must be missing something here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thx!
[Nook Color Android Development] Yzzim:
I'm trying to extract the zip and get an error saying the file is corrupt?

I've tried a couple different hosts. Trying to unzip the image for the 8GB version.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
You can get that message if your file system is not NTFS...
[Nook Color Android Development] devis:
No news on a newer version? This works fine in my opinion, with the exception of WiFi that does its restart loop every once in a while but a reboot fixes it so not a really big deal. Just looking to see what else is around the corner...
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
There was an older kernel posted in the overclocked kernel thread that fixes the wifi on/off problem. Dalingrin is aware of the issue and is working on a permanent fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] Yzzim:

[Nook Color Android Development] TLJester:
Is this ROM already rooted?

(If not how do I go about it?)

Sorry for the noob question - I just have not found the answer or how to check for root.
[Nook Color Android Development] PerlAddict:
Yes, it is (the link in the first post to Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 [which is version 0.6.8 now when you follow the link) goes to a page that actually explains what all is in this version, including the pre-root.

As a question for someone else, how to you boot into Clockwork Recovery when loading from this rom? It never seems to work for me when I select to reboot into recovery from ROM Manager within my Nookie Froyo SD card installation ... it just reboots and takes me back into Froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Shutdown and restart. At power up use the combination nook button + power button, hold and release both after 5 seconds at the first screen should boot you into it.
[Nook Color Android Development] PerlAddict:
I tried that and never could get it to work. If nothing else, you would think that just selecting "Reboot into Recovery" from within ROM Manager would take you into clockwork. I'll mess with it some and see what I can figure out. I've got it running Rooted firmware version 1.1 on the eMMC, but I messed around with upgrading clockwork on that, so maybe I goofed it up somehow having clockwork in both the eMMC and the SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
You will have to use the u-boot.bin that came with your device. The u-boot.bin that came with 0.6.8 does not give you the ability to boot into recovery. I think my image has the original u-boot.bin so the reboot into recovery feature in ROM Manager should work.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
At the beginning of the boot process, do you see the words "Touch the future of Reading"? If not, you need to use the original u-boot.bin from one of the BN updates. Push it to boot. This will over write the u-boot.bin that you are using now.
[Nook Color Android Development] 10507:
Hi brianf21,

Is there any way to increase the data image size?

Thanks for a wonderful build,
[Nook Color Android Development] TLJester:
well I have been playing with this ROM for a week.

And keep breaking something or the other.

Now though i think i have found the buttons to 'not touch' and aside from the WiFi issue that plagues most people everything thing is good...

...except one thing ...

I don't seem to be able to install Google Maps \ Flash and various apps (Gun Bros being one) and have them all working.

I have done the clear cache/data dance with both the Market and Framework and can get them either/all installed.

Yet once i do get all installed the the apps/games on one side of the install seem to no longer work, or crash the system, or corrupt the system (hence the multiple re-imaging of the SDCARD)

Has anyone here get google maps / flash installed along with various other apps and have them all playing happily together?

If 'yes' then how?

Thanks :D
[Nook Color Android Development] xliderider:
I have downloaded and installed the Nook reader app from the Market. I have used Calibre to transfer some "books" (pdf files) to the Nook Color, however nothing shows up in the Nook Color except the preloaded ones from the B&N account.

I can't load them to the SD card, because the "sd card" partition can't be seen by the PC when mounted either through the Nook Color, or using an external card reader. Does any of this make sense lol?

How, and where does one load the files to put private, non-Barnes & Noble acquired reading material on the NC?
[Nook Color Android Development] skeeterpro:
I place mine in a folder created in My Files on the NC. Have placed ePubs, pdfs and the USA Todays I get. All seem fine, display well and quite legible. I use Calibre to convert when needed.
[Nook Color Android Development] xliderider:
Thanks, do you use Calibre to put the files on the Nook Color? And if you do, is there a way to specify where Calibre copies the reader files to the NC?

I see the My Files folder on the sd card when I use my usb card reader on my PC, and am able to copy my files to the My Files directory. However, I can't locate this folder once I put the card in the NC. Even with Root Explorer, I can't seem to find them. Are the files on a different partition on the sd card, one that Root Explorer can't get to when the sd card is mounted in the Nook Color?

Thanks. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] TLJester:
i found the same thing. the first partion windows sees is not what you want

use the 'NookColorUMS' app and select 'Mount CD (4) Fourth Partition' - CONFRIM MOUNTING that will allow you to connect to Windows via USB to the partition the apps are looking for.

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
No, this is a sdcard image. You will need to pull the image file, mainly the system and data partitions have changed.

[Nook Color Android Development] surfer1010:
damaged sdcard

I have searched the thread several times and cannot find any solutions. I tried a 16gig class 2, and now a 4gig class 10, and keep getting the damaged sd card message. Everything works fine, including market after applying the fixes, but I cannot get access to the sdcard. Tried mounting the card, the partition (4), and still cannot the card to show up. several threads that came up in the search function talked about formatting, but I can't see that is a viable option. Both sdcards were formatted initally by sdorg program, image was installed by win32, and partition adjusted by deleting 4th, then creating partition as sdcard in easeus-fat32. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Well I just reformatted again due to a boot loop issue due to overclocking to 1100/300 and recreated the 4th partition as primary not logical (which is default) no more damaged sdcard!
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Regarding 3/14 update:

A-mazing!

The soft keys on the notification bar are a very nice touch. One thing though - can't install some apps like Fruit Ninja. The download starts for a split second (I see the download arrow on the top), the disappears. I tried clearing the market cache and rebooting, but still no luck. Angry Birds not working either. Downloaded Seesmic just fine though.

Few problems - how to solve

So running this just fine from the SD card, but couple problems I am hoping someone has solutions for (solved a couple of my first problems through trial and error):

1 -Having problems using Easeus to expand sdcard size to reclaim my 8gb card. I finally figured out how to do this and now I keep getting an error that there is a problem with the operating system and I need to fix it. Any ideas on what I should do to reclaim the wasted space?

2 - how to get Nook app to see books on internal storage? I was able to load Aldiko and browse to media folder in eMMC to add the books, but I would like to get the Nook app to see them.

Any help here would be great - thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] case-sensitive:
Thanks! And a request...

First, thanks for this update! I love the buttons on the status bar, and the NC flies with the new kernel.

Now a request: could you make an 8GB image of this update, please? I tried to resize /sdcard myself using gparted on my linux box; I tried both ways:

(1) resize /sdcard to fill up the rest of the card;

(2) backup /sdcard, delete /sdcard and then rebuild that partition (as a primary fat32 partition, flag "lba").

Neither one works -- I keep getting FC on android.process.media etc. But when it does work this ROM flies...

EDIT: I had tried to resize/rebuild /sdcard both before & after I flash this ROM; neither one works :-(

"Disk utility" in linux says that the sdcard itself (8GB Transcend, class 6) is fine, and prior to this ROM I used this card to flash nookie froyo 0.6.8 (the one without the buttons on status bar) and I had no problem at all, including the size of the /sdcard partition. Help is most appreciated...

THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Thanks! Market is working now.

[Nook Color Android Development] dzigns:
I was having a lot of FC's in many of the apps with the newest (3/14) version. The Nook app would fc every time I tried to download a book & the market would fc at random times, etc. I eventually couldn't get the wi-fi to work either. I tried the Airplane mode off/on, rebooting - but the wi-fi would turn on and then immediately off, even if I left it alone for 10 minutes or longer.

I think I'm going back to version 1. Thanks for all your hard work, though!!! :)
