Sweet, I have google voice set up so I can text. I hadn't even been able to figure that out on mu suto-noootered nook yet.

Pandora, facebook, gmail, google docs .... all good to go. No root apps of course but I can live with that for now. I don't think it will be long.

I also noticed a LOT for FCs on version 2 but they have slowly starting to go away. I've done a few powered off/on and the FCs and lag is getting less.

It's certainly quirky, but I expect that with an alpha/beta build.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
If you switch the fingerprint, do you have to re-register the device in the market somehow?

I'm trying to figure out what impact the new web-based market will have on all of this... after all, getting the market app to run isn't even necessary anymore... right?

Android 3.0 - SDimage problem resolving

The simplest way to prepare your SD Card for Android 3.0 Honeycomb image writting is HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3 (HPUSBDisk.exe) utility from softpedia.com

Run HPUSBDisk.exe and format SD Card in FAT32 mode before using and you will get clear card with 1 formatted FAT32 partition (full SD Card factory size). Check volume size to verify this matching!

Unpack downloaded Android 3.0 Honeycomb image (verify MD5 checksum if possible) by using WinRAR (32bit) in some folder and write the .IMG file to SDCard by using Image Writer for Windows RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32 (Win32DiskImager.exe) from launchpad.net

Download and unpack win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32.zip to some folder.

Note: Use HPUSBDisk utility every time before SD Image writting to initialize your card!

(my System is: Windows7 PRO 32-bit; SDCard: 8Gb Class6 Kingston)

'k... Then it's too early for those to show up for devices other than Xoom and LG Slate (or whatever LG).

In any case, it's not so important at this stage when HC on NC is mere 2 days old. I consider playing with stagefright (turning it OFF in search of video HW acceleration) much more interesting option for now. Better stock video player (or Rock Player), or Flash_for 2.1_10.1 (or even "full" Flash 10.1) might just start to work. Full YouTube...

Again, those are just my theories for anyone else to check, as I'm stuck with no good microSD for the next 2 weeks. By experimenting with these, you who have rooted AOSP 3.0 on your NCs will be in a position to really help deeper-blue and the CM team, and not just reiterate the SD fomatting woes endlessly.

Good luck to all of you in making the NC the best AOSP 3.0 tablet out there.

A million thanks go to db for this, truely remarkable. As stated earlier db you need a donate button so we can show our appreciation to you for this....
[Nook Color Android Development] 10equals2:
holy crap. Honeycomb is the best software for me right now. Well, almost. It deals with almost all of the problems that ive had so far. Wireless is a lot more stable than anything stock has offered so far. The web browser is amazing, and the email app is the only one that has worked with my email so far. If only it was stable and had hardware acceleration as well as the b&n apps, id flash it to emmc in a heartbeat. After i bought the responsible parties a beer of course.

Simply amazing.

FWIW, setting 'media.stagefright.enable-player=false' in build.prop does not change the problem w/installing Flash 10.1:

$ adb install Flash101.apk
2619 KB/s (4396237 bytes in 1.639s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Flash101.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_FEATURE]

'adb logcat' shows which feature is missing:

D/PackageManager( 1463): Scanning package com.adobe.flashplayer
E/PackageManager( 1463): Package com.adobe.flashplayer requires unavailable feature com.google.android.feature.GOOGLE_PLUGIN; failing!

Also, YouTube still reports 'There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry' when HQ is enabled.

I've switched to a Nexus S gingerbread fingerprint, as the pre-release Xoom fingerprint was not displaying 'SlingPlayer' in the Market. FYI, the fingerprint I'm now using is

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.2/GRH78C/93600:user/release-keys

This doesn't make any of the failing apps work any better, but it displays some additional apps in the Market.

Request

Hello!

Could one of you lucky Nook-owners with Honeycomb installed make some screenshots of the interface with a few random alternative wallpapers?

I'm really curious to see what it looks like without the blue wallpaper!

Thanks in advance :D
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
You can't change the wallpaper. The Gallery app is broken. (Not due to port either, it was broken on the emulator as well).

I tried to set from Browser and that just made the background black.

HC 2 vs HC 2a

So, what makes version 2a?

I have the download for v2 from the OP, but then this thread mentions 2a often.

How do you get to 2a?
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
2a comes with market and some google apps built in. it was posted several pages back.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Did google voice come installed with version 2 or 2a? I don't have my nook with me to check and I would love to be able to text from my HC NC:D
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
What Google apps other than the market?

I was told that, but when I booted it only had the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
I was getting FCs during setup, didn't really mess around with different versions though.
[Nook Color Android Development] jta:
Ah, so it never made the original post. Ok, I will look for it.

[Nook Color Android Development] EpiphanyMachine:
Thanks!! Picasa sync working with this gallery! I tried it to set wallpapers from it and it force closes though =(

Also the version of google voice I have is force closing (Latest CM6 HDPI file) does anyone have a link to a working version?
[Nook Color Android Development] ictguy78:
I purchased a Live Aquarium app from the Market and it is running as my background. It's not 100% functional because I can't change the number of fish or the background. But what it defaults to looks great. The cool thing is when I pull up the apps menu the icons are actually overlayed on the live wallpaper - so I see little fishies floating behind the icons :)
[Nook Color Android Development] ranova:
It runs fine on my 4gb sandisk class 2...
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
No it didn't come installed with either version. But I went to the browser, signed into my gmail account and then went to gvoice. The browser has the option to set it as a bookmark and then it asks where and I told it .. Home Screen :)

I really like the browser. A lot.
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
Same here and I was wondering the same thing.

I am VERY grateful for the Market being added in, just curious about what else is/was suppose to be there.
[Nook Color Android Development] rjoudrey:
A good quality class 2 runs quite well. I have tested my Sandisk and usually get clas 6 speeds. No problem running the image.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Is anyone else getting random reboots when locking the screen? I say random because it doesnt happen every time I lock the screen just sometimes. I'm running version 2a on a class 4 4gb card and I fixed the last partition with Easeus.
[Nook Color Android Development] giantsfan:
It happened to me once or twice, not every time either. Using a class 6 8gb card. I also expanded the partition, but used the disk manager in Linux.
[Nook Color Android Development] ben dover:
same here. running a class 2 8GB card and I didn't mess with the partition at all.

It happens when pulling the usb cable from charging sometimes as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] infinityPlusOne:
Yes, I noticed this behavior as well. Using the 2a image on a 4GB class 4 card as well. Haven't messed with Easeus though.

So far, I've been experiencing a lot of FCs. I also tried to put my clock from Beautiful Widgets on the screen, and it would cycle between working and FCing. I ended up uninstalling it as I couldn't manage to move the widget to the trash.

The other thing I noticed (not sure if it has already been mentioned) is that in portrait, when you click on the clock in the notification bar and it pops up to display the time, wifi, etc. the right side is cut off. This doesn't happen when in landscape mode though.

Win32disk imager not working for me???

Hey guys,

downloaded the .img file, and when i try to burn the img to sd card (an sd card that i have successfully booted nookie froyo on) Win32DiskImager just flashes real quick, and says done. Any idea why this is? Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] mediabear:
You need the latest version of Win32DiskImager.

[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Sure, it won't. Switching ON (maybe non-existent yet) HW acceleration won't add anything to a 3-rd party app. "Missing feature" must be pulled out from a device with the fullest Flash 10.1 possible on phones. Then again, there's about 4 lines in build.prop dealing with Stagefright, so there's plenty of opportunities to screw one's system out of software decoding, lol...

I'm getting tired to repeat n-th time, for a month now:

-- with NC, do NOT use "official" (Google's) YouTube app -- it won't work;

-- also, don't use "signed_YouTube" app which works so-so on A2.1, but cannot be EXITED cleanly, for Gosh sake!

-- I proposed so called "EVO's HQ YouTube" about 5 weeks ago in my blog, lots of people were succesful in installing it and said "Thanks" to me (like 5 people, lol), but much more people failed. Here's another procedure to make it work:

I've switched to a Nexus S gingerbread fingerprint, as the pre-release Xoom fingerprint was not displaying 'SlingPlayer' in the Market. FYI, the fingerprint I'm now using is

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.2/GRH78C/93600:user/release-keys

This doesn't make any of the failing apps work any better, but it displays some additional apps in the Market.[/QUOTE]

Good find! What's not good is you don't report whether these "additional apps" install & work on your Honeyed NC. If not, your new fake fingerprint is of limited use

Take care, and read my blog more often and deeper than just one current post.

fineoils.blogspot.comhttp://fineoils.blogspot.com
[Nook Color Android Development] ElSteverino:
Thanks to DeeperBlue and everyone involved, this effort has really made the NC a proper tablet. I have a couple of thoughts that I want to toss out here for everyone to mull over. (In no particular order)

As of .2a, Phone.apk, Telephoney.apk, Mms.apk are still enabled in /system/app. I don't think we need them and I lobby for disabling them in the next release. I get much better battery life with those disabled.

CPU scaling is set to conservative by default. Setting it to performance via adb improves performance. SetCPU can do this once root is working.

LCD density needs some tweaking. I believe the density was set to 133 under .1 and 150 under .2. If you touch the clock to bring up the quick setting panel, the whole panel is not visible with 150. The notifications option is not visible. A density of 166 is better but I'm not sure it is right also.

Finally, there are a number of users who are using 8 and 16GB cards. Is it possible to distribute a modified partition table that could then be burnt to the card as part of the installation process. For example, installation from my MacBook to an 8GB card would look like:

dd if=nookhoney02a.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m
dd if=nookhoney02a-8gb.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1

The first command would burn the standard 4GB nook honey distribution, the second would replace the partition table for 8GB cards.

In any case, nook Honey is now my daily driver. Thank you and keep up the hard work.

Steve
[Nook Color Android Development] Irish Cream:
Would I run these commands in Terminal Emulator? Adb?
[Nook Color Android Development] clamder:
can you share the commands on how to change the governor settings? i don't really want to set it to performance but at least ondemand would be good.

also, to disable the telephony/mms apks, is it just a matter of removal?

thanks :)
[Nook Color Android Development] clamder:
no, that's for flashing a new image to a card..
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Can't we keep saving bandwidth and make/keep the SDcard partition as small as possible? That way there can be one smaller image and people with larger cards can max them out by expanding the SDcard partition?

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] sbddude:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I am not seeing the benefits that everone else is...

I tried v1, v2, and 2a, and I see the same results. I am able to sign in to the Market, but cannot download any apps. The screen response is generally sluggish and I get strange red borders around the screen 1/2 the time.

In contrast, the stock Eclair is stable and reasonably fast. I can download 4 apps at the same time in the market without slowing down.

Am I doing something wrong?

FYI, I am using a 8GB class 6 card.
[Nook Color Android Development] deshwasi:
where is v2a?

file i am downloading from OP (1st post) is 02.img what is v2a and where is it?
[Nook Color Android Development] clamder:
don't worry about 2a... 2a = modified 2 with pre-installed market and modified build.prop. you can install the market yourself. probably better for you in the end.
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
I have stuck with the OP's versions. In both cases, I could not initially install anything from the Market. I currently have 02 on a card and can install some things from the market. Many require root, and hence are broken. I specifically can't get Angry Birds running, it downloads but notifies me that the install fails. Back to Froyo on SDcard for me. But I'll keep my eye on things here. Maybe root will be the next one or maybe everyone will stop and wait for an AOSP of Honeycomb. Couple that with some updated drivers and who knows! Still pretty darn good for something that is smooshed together from older source, hand patched drivers and pre-release, SDK code.

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
I wouldn't be so easily dismissing Phone.apk, Telephony and MMS: once BT audio (mic, in particular) will be available on one of those next AOSP 3.0 builds for NC, they will be very much needed. Disabling temporarily would be a better policy.

And yes, many observations show "ondemand" as better option than "performance", unless you do 3D gaming all day, all night -- and on charger, lol.

As for LCD density, the Moto Xoom has it around 150 dpi which may explain the HC preview has it hard-coded somewhere deep in its guts (config files of freetype, autohint are usual suspects), as they seem to never have Nookie as the target for building A3.0, lol.

So, build.prop must contain the original NC figure of 169.3333 (or better, the "physical" screen density which is anywhere between 168 and 171; see in my blog). If the device shows re-boots/FC on this, one may need to scrape off that hard-coded Xoom figure from somewhere.

Any talk about getting a random (130 of original v1, or 200-240) is a snake oil sale made for smartphones to all who love to play with the sizes of their widgets and icons. In absence of alternative UIs, just prepare to accommodate the stock one with apparently hard-coded figure that needs an NC correction (to 171, my fav figure, lol)

Fingerprint for Market access

I have been using several apps as 'canaries' to vet what apps the Market is filtering, but I do not have an exhaustive list. Useful apps to check for are Google Maps, Tweetdeck, and SlingPlayer. Does anyone else have a list of protected apps?

Slingplayer does not appear when using the pre-release Xoom fingerprint, although the other two apps do. I don't have a Slingbox, so I can't test if the SlingPlayer app works with HC on the NC.

Stagefright

aludal is referring the to the following settings from build.prop:

media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true

I only tried changing the first, but it's possible changing the others might produce different results.

Stagefright will fuxor pandora audio quality over Bluetooth. Just fyi.

Not important yet, but on my g2 it bites.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
"fuxor", an interesting term for what? I suspect something not so good, lol. As it stands now, we don't have BT audio functionality yet, so no big loss.

To all lucky people who have their NC running Honey: keep digging!

Build kernels 2.6.32...2.6.36, those who can.

Search Droid 2/X repos for 2.3 for any useful morsel of code.

One day you might get almost as famous as pokey9000, Jesse Vincent, occip and deeper-blue.

I saw a couple of people respond to this, and I am having the issue as well. I am also using v2a, so I wonder if we all have that in common (or if people using v2 also have it)?

This is actually the biggest problem I'm having using this. Once I installed the 1GHZ kernel, it really is snappy enough for regular use IMO.

[Nook Color Android Development] TheMarkness:
Anyone that want's to try this fingerprint I made a easy script to push over adb. Just extract the zip into your platform-tools folder and run HoneyGingerbreadFingerprint.cmd.

EDIT: Make sure to "force stop" and "clear cache" on Market, also "clear data" and "force stop" on Google Services framework. Follow that with a reboot and you should be good.

I had this problem too (despite what people tell you i don't believe its an OC issue). For me it was an issue of the SD card being partially corrupt. Re DDing (or windows equivalent of writing the image) the image fixed it for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
Just curious about a few things -

I have version 2 set up pretty well. I seem to get more FCs on this than the one day I ran v1 (no OCing, on stock kernel). I know this is an alpha so I'm ok with that. I've read a few suggestions on how to optimize what we do have. I've read that setting the auto-rotate to off that it will help with FCs but when I do that and it stays in landscape mode, the bottom 1/4 of my screen cuts off. I've read the other thread where the dev/poster has used DB's img and added market, no camera, etc and he adjusted the dpi to 150. Can we do that with this version and would that help with the landscape mode showing the whole screen? I was able to get the red square turned off in Developer Settings (shows up a lot less anyway - it's not a big deal either way)..

By using the browser and going to mobile or tablet versions of many apps (facebook, google voice, etc) I have managed to make this very user friendly and think with a little digging around I can get this thing of beauty just about right :) (plus I have the sd card with decad3nces stable rom to go to if and when I need it )

Any others suggestion about tweaking what we have now, with this version, the make the best use of the HC img that DB has developed?
