Open sdk tools and get wbat it tells you to.
[Nook Color Android Development] njdevils28:
Hi,

There is no wbat in the Tools Folder. I have looked in all the folders in the Android Directory and could not find wbat.

A search returns Overvie

wbat

terie

Could it be a different name?

youre not looking for an adb directory, just the file. it should be in platform-tools

Tried this today and works quite well. Great to see rotation and task switcher thumbnail fixed.

One question. I see that you are using a self compiled kernel now. Is it ok to use the 1.1 Ghz kernel by dalingrin? It worked fine with v01 and the difference was noticeable.
[Nook Color Android Development] holleboom:
Amazing! Installed HC straight out of the box, everything working! Even OC to 1.0Ghz on v3. Thanks a lot.

Has anyone gotten the browser sync in the Honeycomb Browser app to work? I installed gapps and signed in, selected sync in the Browser settings, everything looks correct, but it hasn't grabbed any of my bookmarks yet. Maybe it's just taking longer than I think it should? Any other ideas? Anyone had success with it?

[Nook Color Android Development] SeanFL:
got the nook to be recognized in ADB. Installed gmail app from the market. How do I get calendar and the other google services? Is there a bundle somewhere?

On my evo, a CM7 update had a neat gapps update that would let you check box what you want. Hope that makes its way to the nook with honeycomb. In the meantime, how do I get calendar going? It doesn't come up in the market.

Thanks to all for the help.

Not sure why the calendar is missing with these image files???? I understand the legality concerns with market, but what gives? You can search for another calendar program in market and there are a few decent free ones.

I don't think it's not having the actual calendar app as much as it is the calendar services. I downloaded Pocket Informant and it won't work because there's no Android calendar included in the image. Along with that, Exchange-based calendar sync doesn't work either.

Anyone know if there's an app pack that will add these missing services?
[Nook Color Android Development] njdevils28:
I'm having the same issue. I have the drivers installed correctly but I am still unable to complete the instructions for the Market and Gmail. I can not locate the proper folder to install the scripts.

Also, does anyone have issues with the web browser? It is extremely slow and does not respond well to the touch screen commands.

I'm really digging Android and I have one more question I hope can be answered.

When the final release of Android hits the open market, will the Devs be able to create a bootable or flashable version for our NC's?

Speed?

How fluid is the whole experience at this point?

Nook up to the task?

Edit - I know this is a preview build and I think this is amazing work, I was just curious.
[Nook Color Android Development] holleboom:
Browsing is actually a pretty smooth experience although it's lacking flash support.

Even with a 1Ghz kernel most apps run a little laggy, games do run smoothly though. Scrolling through HC default launcher is slow, adding widgets too. Launcherpro runs very smooth.

During regular use i've had some sudden reboots.

It's going to be under Platform-tools
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
No offense, but do you really expect it to work? This build was taken from an emulated, and modified through various scripts and hacks to make a partially working build.

Additionally, from reading other boards - systems that use a Tegra 2 processor could not even run the code as it is compiled.
[Nook Color Android Development] msherwood:
So I sprung for a NC this weekend and so far haven't regretted it one bit. By itself, with just the Nook software, this thing is awesome! I love it.

In addition to that, I went and got a 4GB SD card (I didn't find out it was class 2 until after the purchase - FML) and within an hour or so was rocking Honeycomb. With all the help from this thread, all it took was WinRar and WinImage. I also followed the instructions of a couple other threads and got ADB, Market, & GApps working.

There are a few problems. Obviously, this is a test build and stuff just won't work. I've found quite a few apps that won't work for me, including XDA & YouTube. Some apps won't show up in the Market (I've heard it's because of the footprint, but I'm patient enough for a complete stable build to wait to play AngryBirds on this), and there are random crashes. I locked it into landscape because sleeping the NC in landscape and then waking it up in portrait caused a reboot everytime.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone working on this - it's an extremely easy process to get this working, it's brought a lot of people into the NC world, it's fun to play with Honeycomb, and I'm excited to see what happens when Google drops this in the AOSP!
[Nook Color Android Development] njdevils28:
Thank you.

I will attempt this once I get home.

This worked perfectly! Thank you for the instructions.

For the partition thing, I'm running Windows XP on the laptop and running Froyo (now .6.6) on eMMC and Honey v3 on 8G SD. I was trying to access the Easus extended SD card partition on the Honey v3 8g SDcard.

How long should it be on the boot screen that says Android at the bottom? It's been like an hour which I know isn't right. Any tips?
[Nook Color Android Development] methodz:
Thanks UnLockR! I always love your videos, did my first root on the MT3G using your videos!

Anyways if anyone cares or not. I made the disk image on a Sandisk Class 2 4GB (which in SD Card Speet Test registers as a class 4) and an identical image on a RiData Class 6 8GB (which in SD Card Speet Test registers as a class 2 :( ) and they seem to run the same.

What cards are you guys using (Brand, Class, Size)? Is yours running pretty smooth all things considered?

Oh, one thing I noticed is that the battery drains pretty fast when the unit is asleep so I just power it down at night.
[Nook Color Android Development] mediabear:
Maybe 90 secs. This version definitely boots faster. Have you tried rebooting it yet? :) I have had it get stuck on the android screen before and I just rebooted it and it loaded fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Yeah I tried rebooting twice. Im reformating my sd card and am going to re download a fresh image.
[Nook Color Android Development] froalskiner:
I may have missed the post(searched quite a bit) but has the issue with extremely slow market downloads been resolved? Most apps take 6+ hours to download on a FiOS connection. I was going to try the Fast Web plugin from Appbrain but I don't think that will resolve the issue since it still goes through the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] Riley1524:
Im really sorry if this has been posted, but I did search a little. Once I boot into the honeycomb image, it asked me to input a a password to decrypt storage, but no matter what I input, it wont let me in.
[Nook Color Android Development] ministersin:
This is not my experience with v3. Things actually seem to be installing faster than on my Evo.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I still can't get it to boot. I did everything all over again and it's still stuck at the screen where it says Android.
[Nook Color Android Development] ministersin:
I was running on a 16Gb class 10 using 4Gb image. Without formatting the rest of the card it ran OK. After formatting the rest to a usable partition it ran a little wonky. This was all v2.

Now on v3 I am using a SanDisk 8 Gb class 2 and everything is running very smoothly. Surprisingly smooth actually.

First few boots there was some lack of screen sensitivity but this is a known issue and irons itself out from what I can tell. Occasionally there are moments I have to touch things twice, but mostly works well.

Some apps and games either FC or only show a screen the size of a phone and have messed up graphics. But for the most part I am happy with that aspect. things download fast and reliably install.

Disappointed in losing Flixter Movies and not having a Calendar, otherwise I am totally using this as a daily driver so far.

After 6 hours (maybe 1.5 use and the rest sleep) I am at 68%, so battery seems at par with my Evo. With twice the screen real estate, that seems OK with me.

Loaded the HCv3 image onto a PHY 4GB-cl4 sd. No problem booted up fine. Very nice I might add, great work...

however

Cant get HC to connect to wifi, type in password and it keeps recycling connection on 'obtaining ip address'.

wifi setup = WPA2-personal, AES encryption

Did I miss something? sorry if this has already been addressed....
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
Make sure you typed in your password right. It has no indication of a wrong password, it just refuses to connect. So you have to make it forget the network and connect again.

[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
There is a thread in the App section but I wanted to mention it here, too in case anyone has had a problem:

The Nook App is finally working for me while running HC!!!

I can open my book, turn the pages, bookmark them, etc. Previously they wouldn't open. I think, maybe, that not allowing the screen to auto-rotate might have done it, but I really have no idea, it just started working.

There are really only 2 things missing now - calendar and flash. (and for me personally - I want to get the Pulse News app to work, but have yet to get it to show up in the market and I've not pushed it via adb. I am going to try with the androidmarket.com. I've grown accustom to that for my news :p)

What are you trying to do?
[Nook Color Android Development] froalskiner:
When it first gets burned the size of the partition is small...download and install EASEUS Partition manager and increase the size of the partition. It's all empty space right now. That will resolve the issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] froalskiner:
It seems to be more or the rare side...there are 3 or 4 posts from people earlier in the thread with the same issue but so far nobody has a solution. I've tested this with each version of the installer plus multiple burns of each.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I see the un allocated space, but Easus gives me no option to extend that volume
[Nook Color Android Development] Stridermatu:
In V2a my downloads were great. In V3 (which I just got around to testing out) my downloads are god awful slow. I tried to download the Nook app after installing the market through adb and I've been sitting here for 45 minutes and it just hit 50% completion. I'm about to just kill it and grab V4 and see if there's any improvement.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
ALso the main issue Im having is when I boot the Nook and it hangs on the screen that says Android at the bottom. What amI doing wrong? I downloaded a few different images.

[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
In v4, how's the peripheral screen sensitivity? and in corners? Did you remember how much of free memory you had at v2...v3 level, and how much is it now. This thing must be jumping at you now (that is, with an optimal heap size)

I was doing my regular writeup on the NC hacking status (fineoils.blogspot.com) today, and in less than 2 hours this version of HC is up! Talk about telepathy...

Thank you for your prompt answer.
[Nook Color Android Development] Stridermatu:
Have you had this problem, While downloading an app from the market, if you check the status in the notification bar, sometimes the percentages will jump. I just reformatted my sd card, downloaded and burned V4 and tried to download the Nook app again. It was faster than before but still slow. It took 25 minutes to download but the completion percentage would show, as an example, 55% complete but then drop to 17% complete and then go back up to 55% before the notification bar faded out. Fortunately it looks like the higher number is the most accurate because I got the download complete icon once it read 100%.

Weird.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
That happened to me as well
[Nook Color Android Development] froalskiner:
It simply goes 1-100% normal increments. I feel like I'm on a modem with it. Downloading the same files from Dropbox is normal speed though. Rooted stock rom is totally normal as well. I only tried Froyo once so I can't tell you if it was bad with that as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] Stridermatu:
V4 is good but I realize...

...I need the NookColor task bar and options to use this effectively even when we get (hopefully) a AOSP version. As I mentioned I installed V4 and the download speeds improved but were still slower than they should be. I could deal with that. I downloaded the Nook app because, 3.0 is pointless if I can't access my books and magazines I bought from B&N. The Nook App runs well most of the time but there are options I've grown to love in stock that aren't in the app. I didn't bother with changing the build prop so I can't comment on Launcher Pro or Go Launcher running on 3.0 as they won't show up in the market. Even game I threw at the NookColor ran beautifully though.

But with all of that being said, I can see why B&N might be pissed at this preview image. They're working hard to get 2.2 ready for the NookColor and by the time it launches, a good number of people aren't going to care. 3.0 is the sweet spot and this preview image proves it.

Once there's a stable 3.0 ROM or .img available far more people are going to want to switch from stock.

Great work!

market works for me, nook app problem

No market problems here, download speed or otherwise. I haven't seen an answer, but does anyone know why the nook app won't load purchased books? It will download it and when I click to open it just hang with the loading circle and then go back to the library. Thanks

Also, great work dev!

couple of issues trying to run v4

I had to use 2 different cards because the first one would hang at the android screen.

first used my RiData 8GB Class6. i went to wipe the card on my PC and it would always be around 110 megs. i wiped it several times. so... i inserted the card into my mac and used disk utility and my mac was able to see the partitions that were created and i was able to restore the 8GB as FAT. then i was able to format on my PC to FAT 32 with the full 8GB. installed the v4 image and popped it in the nook. i got the loading screen and it just hung on the android screen for forever.

ok, that wasn't working... so i did the EXACT same thing to my Sandisk 4GB Class 2 and popped it into my nook and voila it just worked. much smoother than v3 from what i can tell.

my conclusion... if you have a cheap crappy card that may be the reason your nook is hanging on the android screen. so go out and buy a quality card. the funny thing was that my sandisk and my RiData worked fine with v3 but not on v4. so if you are hanging you might want to go out and buy a sandisk.

let us know what disk you guys are using and if it works. (brand, size, class)

v4 on Sandisk 4gb class 2 - loaded ok

I think I am the only one that is going to miss the BN UI. I love reading on my NC and I like being able to browse the shop with magazines and newspapers. Honey is slick but its not very "comfy", I cannot wait to see what BN does with the Froyo update because I want any improvements and newer features without sacrificing my "comfort" within the UI. Is it too much to want both? Is there a way? :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
leave your nook stock and when you want to play with honeycomb just run it off of the sd card. Or you could set up dual boot and use honeycomb instead of froyo

[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
My apps are dowloading from the Market just fine, in all versions. Nothing has taken longer than 5 minutes, most are almost instant. The Nook app did take the longest, and the increments jumped around, but it was installed within 5 minutes, if not less.

I seem to have a problem locating items in the Market, sometimes they are there, others times they are not. So I've been using the new androidmarket.com to push them to my NC. Then they are either waiting for me to install or they have already installed.

I've not used v4 much yet, but my initial reaction is that the screen is more responsive. My friend with a stock NC even has problem with the edges and corners.

I have 2 sd cards that I use, both Sandisk. 8gb class 2 and a 4gb class 4. Both work fine, I've had no problems. I format them with SD Disk manager. I've used Winrar and WinDiskImage as was suggested from the begging and have had no problems (except for user error and learning curve.).

v4 touch problems

Is anyone else experiencing intermittent touch screen problems. I keep getting phantom touches that are causing lots of typos, apps popping up when I don't want them, etc. This behavior is definitely new to v4, and renders it, for me almost unusable. I wonder if this is related to the touch screen changes made to improve sensitivity at the edges. It's very odd ... first, when typing on the keyboard I often get double keys - and the second (extra) key is not a neighbor, but is usually 3 or 4 keys away. It happens about once every 10 key presses. I also notice when I drag, for example, the email widget to see my messages, randomly one of the icons on my desktop gets activated an the app starts up. Is there a way to dial down the sensitivity of the touch screen?

[Nook Color Android Development] Stridermatu:
To dream...

You're not alone. I just posted about this last night. I like the B&N UI. What would be the perfect solution for me is a have the latest version of Android (2.3 or 3.0) but still have the stock NookColor UI incorporated with all of the speed increases and snappiness that 2.2/2.3 brings. Within the stock UI, a few tweaks would make it perfect.

1) Gallery lumps all of your content together regardless of how you have it labeled in memory or SD card. it's annoying.

2) Allow for deeper customization with widgets, keyboards, browsers (and flash support) and different launchers, which means we'd need....

3) Market access.

NookieFroyo is a great solution for this but I didn't care for the process as the 3.0 setup has been painless for me to implement. I understand that B&N wants the NookColor to be used as an e-reader first but hopefully they will see the great potential this device has based on the available 2.2 mods and give the users more options for customization and Google market access in the official release.
