Thank Brianf, but in this rom I still have wifi loops.

I one time used nookie comb 0.4.2, the wifi was very good but I got unexpected shutdown continuously so I switch back to this rom.

Wifi loops is better than shutdown and drained battery :)

Edit: I did a fresh installation and these are my issues:

- Wifi loops

- Unexpected shutdown

- When copy file to sdcard, I had to restart NC to see these files

- Cannot boot to CWR from ROM manager or quickboot, I had to use power+N

Changed back to customized 6.

Wifi Loops

Still can't see WeatherBug (tried the fixes, no luck) in MP

Still can't see Wolfram Alpha (same) in MP
[Nook Color Android Development] Rhegaana:
Hi, can you or any helpful member explain where the location is in root explorer and the proper edit to the file. I can edit through root explorer but adb seems to advance for me. I am experiencing the install fails on location based apps such as flixster etc. Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] ym901s:
This is a great ROM but without specific instructions on installation spoils the deal for a noob :(
[Nook Color Android Development] beestea:
Guys, are you having netflix play back performance issues with this ROM? Mine is SUPER choppy, dunno if its CPU related or just Wifi performance issues on the Nook? I hear people on other roms get 100% smooth playback.

Also, tip for anyone frustrated by the wifi looping or no wifi on awake from sleep.... Play Angry Birds RIO!!! Its funny, but everytime I wake up my nook, I just load Angry Birds Rio and the WIFI always connects within like 15 seconds :)

mp3 fix

Hey Brian

I have read here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931238

that simply coping the lib files from /system/lib/dsp in 1.1 to the froyo dsp folder will enable mp3 playing.

I have also tried the honeycomb player in froyo and it works great.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935628

Perhaps you should update the dsp folder and replace the stock player with the honeycomb player for your next version.

Thanks again for all your work!

Its the wierdest thing... I cant get this to boot from the internal memory, it just boots blank screen. Ive formatted data, system and boot many times, tried installing with and without doing that as well as immediately re-formatting and reinstalling. It never shows any errors during the install or format, it just doesnt boot afterwards.

I can boot the honeycomb rom from SD and froyo from SD as well.

Anyone got tips? maybe Ive missed something obvious?
[Nook Color Android Development] combustiblemonkey:
Ive DD'd the boot and system to the internal memory and can boot stock again... Id love to boot froyo, gonna try that again and see whats up
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I really wish I read this earlier. I am upload a new one now, but I will add these for the next update.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Sounds like the boot partition is corrupt. You have to go back to 1.0.1 then reflash froyo. I am upload an image that has both images. Froyo and Stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] combustiblemonkey:
Thats what I was thinking. I just completed that process and have froyo running from internal now. Thanks :)
[Nook Color Android Development] TheMarkness:
Is the Full Stock 1.0.1 include market access and root I'm assuming?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
No, just stock. I want to give people an easy way to go back to stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] namgorf:
Maybe I'm blind man, but when you say "Flash internal memory with CWR" what options are you talking about? I don't see any mention of that phrase in any setting.

edit: I'm retarded.

Select "install zip from SD card"

Select "choose zip from SD card"
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I have to re-zip the file. Something, went wrong. Doing it now.
[Nook Color Android Development] candre23:
The suspense is killing me!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Ok, it up.
[Nook Color Android Development] candre23:
The image is too large to fit on my 2GB card. Other images that I've successfully burned were 1.83GB. This one measures 1.89GB.
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
I have a question that's been on my mind for a while : Why are all these froyo builds image files you copy to emmc/sdcard? Is it impossible to make a CW recovery flashable zip to flash to the device's flash memory directly like the stock 2.1 ROM? (Basically like all the other ROMs for android devices)
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did you download it after my last post? I had to re-zip it and upload it again. Both those sizes are under 2GB.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
The eMMC is your internal memory. For all intents and purposes, this is your "ROM". In this case, we are putting an image onto the sdcard which we boot to and then flash the "ROM" using the Clockwork utility. So we are just using the sdcard to load the "ROM". The term ROM really means Read Only Memory.

There are some images for the nook that run directly from the sdcard and are not flashed to the eMMC. This is not one of them.
[Nook Color Android Development] candre23:
Yes, I downloaded it after you re-upped it. The 1.89GB image is too large.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Use this software to burn it. http://www.winimage.com/ I am not sure why the other software cannot handle the image.

Click File>Open

Choose the image file

Click Disk menu and choose the right disk

Click Disk then write.
[Nook Color Android Development] candre23:
I'm using Win32DiskImager, which had no problem writing the nookie froyo or honeybunches 2GB images. Like I said, both those images were a tiny bit smaller than yours. Perhaps some cards just have slightly different capacities, and I have one of the smaller ones. The next time you do an update, perhaps you could try to keep it to 1.83GB to ensure maximum compatibility.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I couldn't get Win32DiskImager to burn it either, but WinImage was able to handle it fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] Chuck6993:
First I want to say Thanks and I wanted to share my experience with everyone.

"Burn to sdcard"

I was able to use Win32DiskImager to burn the image to my 8Gb sdcard.

(My computer is running Win 7 x64)

"Boot to sdcard"

I put the SDcard in the nook hit the power button and the nook booted into CWR.

"Format boot, system, data from "mounts and storage" (The power button is the back menu button.)"

When I formated boot it locked up after it finished. I had to hold the power button till it shutdown. Then I booted back up and formated system and data.

"Flash internal memory with CWR"

I flashed froyo-emmc-0.2.zip it took some time and didn't show progress on the progress bar.

"Special instructions for Froyo: Wipe cache with CWR"

I wiped cache when I got done flashing froyo-emmc-0.2.zip.

"Remove card"

Removed the SDcard

"reboot to eMMC using the reboot option in CWR"

Rebooted

:) it booted right up, wifi tethered with my EVO logged into gmail. Still playing.
[Nook Color Android Development] totololo:
Just try to download the ZIP file again.

I had the same issue ... a new download fixed that, Win32DiskImager worked ... I guess something was corrupt in the first file, even if it unzipped without problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] yamanote:
Just a quick question- do I need to deregister and erase my nook on rooted 1.1 before flashing Froyo? Or can I just erase the data, system and boot and directly flash the Froyo ROM?

If I don't deregister before erasing, will that affect the ability to register my Nook with B&N if I decide to return to stock?

Sorry, a quick search didn't reveal the answer.

Cheers
[Nook Color Android Development] yamanote:
Nevermind, I got it working.

Any way to fix my corrupted SD card? Any utilities to fix a microSD formatted from Settings? I (stupidly) formatted it before realizing I was not supposed to do so.

EDIT: Just fixed it by formatting the card in my camera, taking a picture and popping it back into the Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
angry birds?

i tried this rom and it works great although when i try to push angry birds to it and reboot it just force closes before it opens. o and its not in the market but dolphin is and i ran through the process of making the protected apps show up, anyone have any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did you do delete market cache and framework data then reboot? Did you try different fingerprints in build.prop?
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
i deleted market cache and framework data and rebooted, i havnt tried a different build prop fingerprint but i noticed that even angry bird seasons doesnt install shows error 17 when tried to install from market
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
so i have a little bit of a problem i dont know how to fix it but when i went to retry this install i formated system and it froze up after about 20 minutes i had to shut it off, now when i boot it goes to a loading screen with skate boards and just stays there ive even tried to redo the sd card with no luck anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Try again, but only wipe the cache this time then apply the zip, remove sdcard and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
if i could get that far i would i cant even get to the recovery
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Can you get it to boot to the sdcard? Did you try to reburn the downloaded image to the sdcard?
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
cant boot to the sd i tried to redownload a few different images
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
Could it b because I flashed the 1.1 ghz image on it? I replaced the uimage and it was fine for a a few boots then got stuck at the loading with the green skateboards
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I haven't played with the OC kernels yet. Did you get it up and running yet?
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
Nope still nothing
[Nook Color Android Development] rumitg2:
finaly got it to work after almost bricking it twice.

now that it works its BEAUTIFUL

only issue is that market downloads dont work. it gets stuck saying downloading and does nothing.

had to install everything from titanium but otherwise everything is great
[Nook Color Android Development] al2x:
Flashed the ROM and for the most part it works perfectly and very snappy. Adobe Flash & Dolphin browser, just what i wanted :)

BUT something that comes to my attention -- my Gmail syncs great with my Google Account, but Google talk says "Google Talk authentication failed". Any fix for this? I'd try searching but everytime I search on these damn boards it always says "Search Unavailable try in 20-30 minutes"
[Nook Color Android Development] molesaied88:
any chance of a customized image of the new .6 froyo please? thanks in advance!!
[Nook Color Android Development] Chuck6993:
I did this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917660 and it didn't fix it so then I did Access_Protected_market_apps and now my market works. But I don't know if doing the access protected market fix made it work alone or if it was the new Vender.apk and the access protected market fix together. Hope this helps

^^^^

Tried to burn onto 2GB and had Cycle check failed at 99% so testing on my 4gig card now.

(always good having a 1gb / 2gb / 4gb / and a 8gb around)
[Nook Color Android Development] jianglai:
Any changelog on what's been customized?
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
I would think that the OP based on .6 will give you some good updates on that.

My flash is going well , waiting for applying image to data...
[Nook Color Android Development] handisnacks:
Why is this one so large?

Also, are we going to see a 0.6.6 with a 1.1.0 (or 1.0.1) full option? Like the previous custom one was. I like having the option to install either.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Flashed and loaded. Will test it out for a bit and tell how it is.

Flashing /data took a while and looked like it was frozen. Everyone Don't worry during that.
[Nook Color Android Development] molesaied88:
is it possible to run this off of sd card instead of flashing?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Not this one, but cicada create a sdcard version, you will have to install the apps though. I will create one, but I can't do it just now.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Tested youtube video and running HQ with no problems I have seen so far. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I will do a 0.6.6/1.1.0 version just not tonite. I zipped it down, not sure what it is so large. I have had some bad zips lately, so I will rezip it, but I am going to wait until we find more issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Just the usual software. We are really not allowed to include other software with the image.
[Nook Color Android Development] molesaied88:
thanks, i tried installing the gapps on the stock version but no luck, i think ill just wait it out for when u get a chance. thanks again!!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
If you are using Linux, extract the system out of the zip then go to the directory where the system for is and do

for i in `find system`
do

adb push $i /$i

done

The youtube app in the zip needs to be pulled and replaced with the signed version, but at that point you might even be able to download it from the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
There is an issue with the sdcard and media. I think init.rc needs to be edited, which means the ramdisk needs to be rebuild. If anyone has any ideas or seeing something I am not please speak up.

0.6.6 is awesome. Thank you very much cicada!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Was just going to post same issue with SDcard :)
[Nook Color Android Development] jianglai:
Not necessary, download volds file from http://forum.androidcentral.com/bar...ion-install-nookie-froyo-internal-memory.html (I think they are just files form the 0.5.8 base file) and push to /system/etc/. This is mentioned in the nookie froyo thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] molesaied88:
im on windows =/
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I looked at the vold.fstab and it looks good, but there is no mount command for sdcard or media in init.rc, but I am fairly new to android so if anyone gets it to work let the rest of us know. I will look at it on Tuesday.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Why is it that all of the custom images don't have the market installed all of a sudden? Before all of the custom images had it pre installed. Did Google or Xda announce something that I missed?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
What we need to do is grab the vold from 0.5.8 and put it in /system/bin. System needs to be remount as read/write. There is a utility in the app drawer to do it.

adb push vold /system/bin
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Was having adb issues earlier via usb and maybe ill try the wireless app and see if that works better for me.

Running pretty smooth and HQ youtube is doing pretty good here I will say. Market is here on this custom image and working smoothly. Another great rom, nice and basic rom and working great.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
No, this isn't working... I think it is the init.rc.
[Nook Color Android Development] jianglai:
The fix I posted works for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] handisnacks:
This does not fit on most MicroSD cards (2GB in size). Most, like mine, only have 1.88GB of actual space, this file is 1.89GB of space. Please fix this issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I am just dd the partitions. I really can't make it any smaller without doing a lot of work in creating a updater-script. Did you use winimage or win32diskimager? Try to use the first and let me know if it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] handisnacks:
Thanks WinImage did the trick. Kinda dumb that win32diskimager doesn't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] feisty_noodle:
I am confused about this "CWR not working in Froyo" thing I keep reading about.

What doesn't work?

I have installed Nookie Froyo in the past on eMMC and set up CWR the way it should be set up (by copying uRecRAM and uRecImg to /boot) and everything is working. I can boot into Clockwork recovery from cold start (2-finger salute) or from reboot into recovery in RomManager.

In fact, I have used the nandroid backup to back up the NookieFroyo as well as the rooted stock ROM.

So what exactly is not working for people? Just wondering as to the source of my confusion ...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
You were right, the format of the file is different.

Here is the fix for the sdcard. Media does not mount, it might if I try to take out the sdcard. Unzip and push this files to /system/etc.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=495182&d=1295555600
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I read the same things apparently and never tried it... This would not be the first thing I am wrong about :)

One thing I want to point out, I can use CWR to install froyo, but the CWR is running from the sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] feisty_noodle:
Ok, if I understand things correctly, a recovery is a kind of a ROM (a minimal kind, used for servicing). Therefore, it should not matter where CWR is running (SDcard or eMMC) provided it knows about the correct partition table of the target device for its hooks (i.e. it can correctly mount /system, /data and /boot). Likewise, it should not matter what system is present in /system (Froyo, Honeycomb, stock or whatever else).

So, the only thing one needs to be aware of when making a flashable zip is not to overwrite (or delete) the recovery image files in /boot during the installation of the new ROM.

On 'normal' Android devices, the recovery lives in a separate partition (normally not touched, afaik). On Nook, we do not seem to have this safe place. So, whenever /boot gets formatted, we end up losing the recovery and need to reinstall it manually.

If anyone can correct my thinking, please do so.

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Do we need both the vold.conf and vold.fstab? Copying /system/bin/vold from 0.5.8 does not fix the problem. Copying /system/etc/vold.fstab from samulehalff's froyo on emmc fixes the problem with the sdcard not mounting. Thanks again.

[Nook Color Android Development] muness:
FYI, I see Sketchbook Mobile on V1.1.0_r2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932145 . The Froyo builds seem way less responsive to me, alas. :( I just tried 0.6.6 off of a class 10 16GB microSD and the 1.0 OC Kernel and it's the same.

Has anyone tried Froyo off microSD and eMMC? Does the lag disappear off of eMMC? I just haven't had a chance to try that yet.

I followed this process, then flashed the New Froyo 1.1G and pushed the vold files and this is the fastest most responsive I've had Froyo run from the eMMC...

Can this version be run exclusively from the SD Card as opposed to flashing to eMMC? If not, can we get one. I use the 5.9 version and have it setup nicely. What do I need to do in regard to upgrading the 5.9 SD I have to this one without starting over? Not new to flashing as I do it with my phone all the time, just not interested in flashing my working Nook, would rather have it boot from SD for CNF.

[Nook Color Android Development] EJU:
First thank you for your work on this. I love it.

I am sorry for the noob question but I can not seem to get the vold.fstab to mount the emmc partition. I messed around with it and got it to mount my sdcard which it would not do for me without changes but I still can get it to mount the emmc partition. Here is what I have for the vold.fstab. Is there something I need to change?

## Internal SD ( media )
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 8 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0
#dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 8 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0
## Internal SD ( media )
#dev_mount media /mnt/media 8 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0

## External SD card p4 is vfat ( sdcard )
#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/block/mmcblk1
## External SD card p4 is vfat ( sdcard )
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Here is what I did, not sure if it was the right thing to do, but it worked.

changed /mnt/media to /media in vold.fstab

rebooted

open Terminal

su
vold /media
mount
[Nook Color Android Development] EJU:
OK, this works, I guess I thought it was going to auto mount it at startup. If that is not the case then it was working manually from the beginning. Thank you for you help.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
To make /media to mount at boot try this:

Here is a new ramdisk. I added a variable for INTERNAL_STORAGE and a mount command for /media.

Get to your boot partition and copy uRamdisk to uRamdisk.original then replace uRamdisk with this copy.

If you know how to do this, test it for me and report back.

[Nook Color Android Development] willverduzco:
Unfortunately, I'm not able to apply the SDCard fix, as I'm not able to use ADB on my Nook Color for some reason. (I've used it countless other times on several other devices, but the NC is special, I guess.) It just identifies the Nook as 2 USB drives with no ADB device to use with the Nook ADB drivers. I've tried toggling USB Debugging, but nothing changes.

Would it be possible for someone to make an update.zip that patches this?

Basically, I really can't wait until the OP is updated with the SDCard fix. Despite that, I'm still very glad about the progress that this revision makes. Thank you brianf21 and cicada!

EDIT: N/M I finally got ADB working...
