Screen Fonts for old guys

I've went though every Setting menu and sub-menu I know of, but can't solve my problem, is there a way to increase default/system font size? I'm on old fart and reading the text in the system settings menus and on the home screens in general BE hard for me. :-) This is the biggest issue for me since returning my 10" G Tablet and buying another NC, the 7" screen is a little small, on all other fronts the NC can go toe to toe with the GTab. I'm loving this rom but really want to try HC when it's ready (stable) to be flashed on the eMMC.

Thanks, Terry

Q: SD card issues...

I love this ROM, but I've been having endless issues with my sdcard. I have backed it up, formatted it in Windows, and reinstalled it multiple times and it's not working properly.

Within Froyo it recognizes the sdcard and it even mounts in Clockwork. However, when I use application manager or app2sd to push apps to the sdcard it pushes them to /mnt/asec instead of /mnt/sdcard. /mnt/asec has somehow reached maximum capacity with only 6 apps in it. What is going on with my mnt?

Here's a copy of df if it helps:

How is 1.1 ghz kernel working out? Any freezing or FC?
[Nook Color Android Development] 71CH:
I used the flashable 1.1 and it's wonderful :)
[Nook Color Android Development] taylor.fowler:
Weird stuff happening here

Flashed and Installed last night, got it up and running fine.

Flashed 1.1 OC kernel, no problems. Turn off, reboot, everything is gravy.

Popped my Honeycomb SD in, booted, shut down. Now Device is refusing to even give me a screen flicker. Thought it was hosed, but connected it to my windows machine and an OMAP device was trying to install briefly, then failed every time i held the power button. I can still boot from SD (i love this device).

Wash (format), rinse (re-burn), repeat (reflash)....I probably screwed something up somewhere along the line.

Anyone else having this occur (i.e. anyone else trying to run HC off the SD, then unable to boot)?

EDIT: Realized this was because i flashed over 1.1 instead of 1.01. How very silly of me.

EDIT 2: Repartitioned Boot and restored back to 1.01 stock.....and the same thing happens. Not sure what the problem is here =/
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did you put it at the root of the CWR or in the boot folder in the zip? If at the root then you replaced CWR kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
Has anyone been able to do CWR Boot recovery from Rom Manager on v5? Everytime I try it just boots back to Froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] sec6:
Used the 1.1 kernel on your thread. Everything great so far. 1633 quadrant! I now don't miss my Nexus S that I returned.
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
Thanks! This is awesome!

I have it installed and running flawlessly.

Windows 7 64-Bit

Winrar

WinImage

Great work. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Bandage:
So should this ONLY be flashed over 1.0.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I dont think cwr works with froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
No. It should work over any eclair.
[Nook Color Android Development] zappaziz:
Excuse me replying to myself here. Had no luck with formatting the sd card in windows 7 or xp, kept getting the damaged sd card. Tried doing the vold.fstab trick but no luck. Eventually popped the card into my EVO and formatted there now everything is shiny:). Would formatting this in linux have resolved this or is there a tool to properly format the sd in windows?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] Bandage:
CWR doesn't work with NC froyo or any Froyo...wanted to be clear, cuz I have a few froyo devices running CWR. Mebbe I misunderstood your statement ;)

EDIT - nm...you were saying the recovery boot I think...not CWM itself?
[Nook Color Android Development] Bandage:
Hmmm...odd, everything WAS working fine with this for the first few boots. Then, after another reboot I just get a blackscreen, no flicker etc. Headed back to stock for now, think I'll lean away from eMMC flashin for the time being.
[Nook Color Android Development] 71CH:
I'm having problems with my sdcard. I have the rom running very nicely on my nook but when I either place my sdcard directly into my computer or when I mount it through the usb, the card is completely empty. If I place things onto the card using my computer, it doesn't show up on the nook. When I go through the card using Root Explorer I see a bunch of other folders and stuff on it, but not the files I just placed on it using the computer. And again, these files and folders that I can see using Root Explorer, I cannot see using my computer.

Sorry if this is too confusing lol and thanks for any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] taylor.fowler:
Same Here. I just restored back to 1.01, re-flashed Nookie onto the EMMC and sure enough, two boots later i was back with a black screen.
[Nook Color Android Development] 71CH:
Figured out it had to do with the EFI partition. Does anybody know how to make this partition larger? Should I try with gparted?
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
Use a small tool called Panasonic SD formatter. And turn adjustment on in options this repartitions and formats the whole SD card. And not just the left over partition from the windows imagery 32 write.

Hope this is useful for some of you.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 should already be installed. You need to back it up using Titanium Backup. As of now it does not show up in market.
[Nook Color Android Development] muzzy996:
Loving this ROM as well. Right now main issue I have like others is with wifi reconnections after sleep.

For now my work around to avoid rebooting to get wifi back is to kill everything using advanced task killer which somehow kicks the NC out of the wifi on/off cycling loop it gets stuck in.

Other than that this thing's working well for me as a web browser, reader and video player.
[Nook Color Android Development] jaybert45:
To those having issues with boot sticking on 'Touch the future' screen i have had the same problem starting yesterday, 3/6. I discovered that if I ejected my SD card it would boot perfectly. I have not spent the time to see if I have something on my card that it wants to boot from improperly, but at this point time I am ok just ejecting the card, booting and then reinserting the card after boot.

If anyone finds out why this is happening please let me know.

It also will not let me turn on with the power button with SD card in place. I have to plug into USB, then it boots up. If SD card is in place with USB boot it still holds on 'touch the future' screen.

For all fast reboot situations I have been using ROM Manager, and it reboots fine with SD in place.

Does anyone else have the issue burning the image to 2GB MicroSD using win32diskimage? I tried and get an error card too small (or size insufficient or something).

I was able to burn it to 8Gb microsd, but would really like to burn it to 2 GB so that I can use 8Gb for media.

You have Google Maps working? With this build, I did the fix for market so that apps would install, but Google Maps still not showing for me in Market.

What's the current status on the wifi connect-disconnect loop problem?

Here's my experience with it - it has happened to me at home, on the bus, and in my office - and not just coming out of sleep, I've had the disconnect right in the middle of using it. All routers are of the "g" flavor.

At home and in my office I have multiple networks available. If it starts to loop on one router I can still connect successfully to the others, but I can't go back to the "loopy" one until I reboot.

I have just come back to Froyo from a week on HCv4 where I never had a connectivity problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
Where did you get them from to side load?
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
If you're using the ROM from this thread, what did u use to get it to run at 1100? I am a little newb, but running SetCPU gets you up to 800, just wondering about 1100. Thx.
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
I had the same issue. It won't fit on a 2gb card -- it's too big.
[Nook Color Android Development] cnewsgrp:
So it seems to be problem with the image? Anyone else having the issue?

Can someone please burn a different image please? The stuff in the image is 1.2 GB anyway. It seems silly to use 8 GB SD Card for 1.2 GB of data

Or if I am doing something wrong please let me know, I have already formatted by card twice, but keep on getting the issue. I think the image size is 1.86GB and 2 GB SDCARD comes to 1.83 GB
[Nook Color Android Development] goldenu:
no problems here

I used a 2gb card without issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] goldenu:
SetCPU needs to be told to "autodetect speeds" at first run (and be given root, of course) or it will not work properly. I have it working properly all the way to 1.1ghz, tho it worries me to leave it there...so I don't.
[Nook Color Android Development] bachviet:
I still can't find Facebook but I can side load it. Here is what I did to fix the market.

1. Clear cache in Market app then force stop.

2. Clear data in Google Services Framework then force stop.

3. Fix permissions using ROM Manager.

4. Boot into recovery and format cache.

5. Run Market Enabler app and select T-Mobile as your fake provider.

After than Google Maps shows up in Android Market and I was able to update it to 5.2.1.

When I couldnt find Evernote I realized the default profile of the ROM isn't ideal. I found the instructions in another thread. I downloaded Market Enabler, stopped the Market if tis running, cleared cache/data for Market and Google Framework(I can't remember specifics but this is basically universal for all android devices). Then I reboot, run Market Enabler and select the top most option, Tmobile USA. I can't remember if I rebooted after this but so far I've found all apps I'm looking for.
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
Market Enabler

Anyone ever run Market Enabler when it didn't work?

I have stopped Google Framework and cleared cache/data as well as Market, and after reboot I ran Market Enabler before and after, and still see the same apps. Google Maps for example isn't coming up. Do you need to get the paid version for it to work? It says set and Done, yet nothing seems to change.

Any ideas? I have looked around and see nothing about it.

Thx.
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
@dpoliteski

I followed the instructions in the OP to gain some of my market functionality back, but I was still missing some very important apps like you are. Rinse and repeat did not make a difference. On another thread, this video was linked. It's a slight variation on the procedure above, but following it to the letter fixed my market completely. Give it a try if you haven't already.
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
That did it, thanks for posting the link! Seems to be all in the order of when you do what.

[Nook Color Android Development] dizx:
Anyone else having the XDA app FC when they login and try to open threads in favorites?

I've tried reinstalling from market, rebooting, clearing data in TiBu, clearing Dalvik-Cache in all various orders. No joy.

The app works fine without logging in, but what's the fun in that if you can't post anything? :)
[Nook Color Android Development] brendac87:
I apologize if this has been addressed but is there a fix for wifi?

My wifi will repeatedly turn itself on and off, this will happen randomly after it wakes. There is no stopping it, usually if i reboot it fixes itself for that session.

For now, im back on stock but i would really like to know if this is fixable.

Thanks.

[Nook Color Android Development] dizx:
Usually, if I toggle the power button a couple of times, it stabilizes. Still not fix, however.
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I just had a random reboot. Anyone else had that happen? I twas just sitting on the desk and rebooted.
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
I use the Market program "Softlocker" to keep wifi from sleeping. That fixes it for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
Re-encode using Handbrake to something the Nook's DSP likes. The Nook will never play scene 720p mkvs.
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
Yes, happened yesterday while trying to showoff to my friends... bummer..

Also, when it went to sleep, I couldn't wake it up. Happened 3 times already in 2 days. I have it overclocked to 1100 so not sure if that's the issue or not. I read some suggestion to fix this is to clear WIFI Cache. Haven't done that yet. Will try make those change and hope it fixes it. Anybody has this problem too? First I thought it may be just my nook but seems like more people reported this problem so I'm temp to try other ROM. Anyone?

Any updates on youtube and mp3 or am I really late?
[Nook Color Android Development] wethead4:
For those who still have problems with Wifi after sleep and softlocker is not keeping Wifi awake is find Wifi fixer of work really well. It has an option to keep Wifi on that actually works, plus a widget that reassociates a connection after after Wifi sleeps. Using the widget plus turning off and on Wifi seems to work pretty well.
[Nook Color Android Development] cnewsgrp:
How do I boot into recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] dizx:

[Nook Color Android Development] wethead4:
No problem, been using it for a couple days now and its working perfectly to either keep wifi awake or reset it after sleep

Guess I forgot to shutdown my nook last night. turned it on and touch scree wouldnt respond to let me unlock or click shut down. had to hold for like 20 seconds to force reboot. anyone else have this issue or know a fix? or is it just something ill have to deal with?
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
Every day I get a similar problem. If I don't shut down, and just lock it, after a while when I return WiFi is gone. However, if I shut down overnight, in the morning when I turn it on it stays at that startup message and stays there. I too then have to hold down Nook button and Power for 20 seconds to let CWR let me reboot. I reboot and it is fine while I use it. After I stop using it, or turn it off, all bets are off... :-). Would LOVE to find a solution, so either not many face it, or people just living with it.

Ok people I have a solution to the on/off wifi issues that works 100% of the time on my end.

So I am running this rom with the addition of SetCPU, btw I have no issue running Setcpu in performance mode at 1.1ghz exclusively, I have actually gotten two of my buddies to buy a NookColor just for the purpose of modding it like I did.

Now to the dirty.. I have my NC with this rom installed and I have no problems since this second install. The first time that I installed this rom I was having alot of issues with the boot loops but after manually updating clockwork and then performing another install of this rom I haven't even had to restart my NC at all since I figured this out.

The problem with the wifi on/off seems to be with Setcpu for me. I normally leave Setcpu at 300Mhz min and 1.1Ghz Max but maybe once a day when it sleeps and I go to get online the Wifi is doing it's on/off thing again. All I do it go to Setcpu and put the Max to 800Mhz and BOOM! The wifi automatically stays on.. no need to do anything but go online then.
[Nook Color Android Development] azshorty2003:
Just had my first real issue with this ROM, besides wifi shutting off. tried to boot and it locked at the "future of reading" screen, which is the first thing i see. wouldnt move from there. rebooted into CWR by holding the nook button and power button for 20 seconds. just hit 'reboot now' and everything is fine.

EDIT: well apparently not. everytime i reboot i have this issue. thought it might be with wifi fixer which was the last app i installed. uninstalled it and still problems.......wait....DOUBLE EDIT, took about 60 seconds on that screen which is longer then it ever took, but now its loading. wifi also isnt starting on boot.

please tell me i dont have to reflash it and start from scratch! didnt have a back up yet either. was waiting till i got everything set, which was set up wireless tether, which is why i had just turned it on. *rageface*

EDIT Again: after 5 restarts its back to booting up properly, but wifi still not starting after boot. have to manually turn on. anyone have an answer for this?
[Nook Color Android Development] Neptune5k:
Good to know. I havn't run into this issue since I've flashed the eMMC version, but I was having WiFi problems with the SD version shortly after installing some apps, SetCPU being one of them. Perhaps that was the culprit.
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
You can't explain it any better. Do you have my nook? Exact problems here. Good to know I'm not alone. Tempting to move on to Gingerbread or HC. I don't think I can live like this. Hope someone can come up with solutions soon. TIA.
[Nook Color Android Development] jimmyz:
I have been running into the dreaded wifi loop (especially today) and have not installed setcpu- do you think its your overlock or that by messing with setcpu you bust it out of that damn loop?

BTW- here are some of the methods I have used to bust out (they don't work reliably all the time)

1) pressing power/volume up at the same time

2) Going to advanced wireless setting and toggling wifi sleep policy to never then back to screen off

3) hard reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
Trying it right now. Hope this helps my wifi issue. Thanks for reporting.
[Nook Color Android Development] dizx:
But...I had the wifi loop problem after waking up the NC from the start and have only been running at 800MHz max. It's a finnicky device. However, WiFi Fixer "fixed" that for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Haven't tested mp3 yet but youtube works great
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
Problem I am having now is that WiFi Fixer doesn't seem to start autmatically all the time. Sometimes it does, sometimes after reboot I have to run it. Does it consistantly run automatically (service starts up) every time you reboot?
[Nook Color Android Development] EliteOfficer:
It seems that there might be many ways to bust the wifi loop issue, either way I'm getting close. I had this thing running for a good three days almost with no wifi issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
Same here. Wonder about that too. I have to start it manually everytime I reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] EliteOfficer:
Might he a bad install, I was going through the exact identical issues then I did a second install and they all went away.
