I have a 16 GB Class 10 sdcard and I can't get it to mount using 6.8.3 rom.

I am using this card without any troubles using the stock rom 1.0.1. Also, my sdcard would not be recognized using ClockWorks to restore my backup. I had to move the backup files to an older sdcard in order to restore back to 1.0.1. Does anyone have a suggestion how I might get 6.8.3 to mount my sdcard.

Thanks

Already done that - still looping and will not start after boot...
[Nook Color Android Development] jayb222:
I flashed that too. Still wifi will not stay on after coming back from sleep. Am I doing something wrong?:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] Chadwickity:
Got my nook yesterday, and installed this within a few hours. Once I figured out how to use the dd command on my mac it was smooth sailing. Everything is working great so far typing seems to be a little slow at times, but browsing is way better than I expected. Using Miren browser and ditched the softkeys for button Savior. Tried setcpu but just like my D1 it seems to run way better without setcpu.

I do have two questions:

does anyone's charger buzz noticeably loud? And has the nook ever been hard to turn on after charging? I left mine charging for a few hours and when I came back it had turned off and I could not get it to turn on, had to unplug it and let it sit then it turned on.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
WiFi on/off loop is the Achilles tendon of this ROM. Everything works including flash, but the frustration that comes from the WiFi issue hinders the tablet experience. Once the stupid thing goes into the on/off loop, is there any way to force it to stop other than a reboot?

I've tried flashing kernels and using "WiFi fixers", but so far nothing helped. Coming back from sleep, WiFi goes into a loop randomly regardless of what the settings are, etc. Do we know if there is an upcoming fix for this. I guess I can block "sleep" and take the significant battery loss, but if that's not really a "solution".
[Nook Color Android Development] bachviet:
Make sure that your Nook is not on flight mode.

It's odd that the kernel linked in post #711 of this thread (which is the attachment of THIS post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12001197&postcount=770 ) isn't working for all.

This kernel works for me as it does for many others. I run it with profiles DISABLED in SetCPU and just a main profile that's pushing 300 to 1100Mhz on demand. I've set Up Threshold on the advanced tab to 45 and with these settings things seem to be as good as I can hope for.

Without a doubt, the latest dalingrin kernels with interactive mode are the best performers in terms of speed but with wifi issues and additional battery drain (particularly since you have to disable wifi sleep to avoid wifi loop issues) it's not a good daily driver for those who are away from power for extended periods.

The other on demand kernel though (which unfortunately I have no idea where it originally came from) is a solid compromise for now.

I'd suggest to those trying to use it, re-flash it, format cache, fix permissions and wipe dalvik cache as well, then reboot into it and see if that helps.

The only issue I have with the kernel is taht on cold boot I have to enable wifi. Once enabled if I never do a full shutdown, wifi comes up after extended sleep no problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
Before I flashed that other kernel to fix my wifi problems, I use to get out of the off/on loop by holding the power button for a few seconds until it popped up that "shutdown?" screen. Then just hit the back button and my wifi would connect right up. Give it a shot. It sucks that the kernel didnt work for you :(

[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
I was just about to post that...I would go to power off and then press cancel, and for some reason the wifi would always come on.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
I find that if it is having trouble and is looping, if I turn on Button Savior while in Settings and hit "menu", wifi comes on immediately...
[Nook Color Android Development] jd95:
I want to try this rom, I am running cm7 v19 but its still a bit experimental for me. I was wondering one thing do I have to use cw 3.0.0.5 or can I use the new cw that is on my nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
The method outlined in the youtube clip always works.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Thanks for your reply.

I just realized that the kernel that I was referring to was something else.

I'll go ahead and flash the kernel posted in this thread. Just a quick question: When I boot into CWR from SD, do I just wipe cache and Dalvik cache and pick install from zip and choose the file from the card? No formatting/wiping system, data, boot, etc, right?

Do I need to do anything for the 1.1 GHz setting that I have with Set CPU? Should I disable/uninstall Set CPU since this kernel has 1.1 GHz OC? I am not sure if that's necessary or not.

Thanks again in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] zizoty:
flash the kernel then wipe cache. DONT need to formattigng system, data etc. I would set the speed to 1GHz since some people have problem at 1.1GHz.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Thanks. Will set it to 1.0 GHz just to be safe...

The instructions for installing different ROMs show the sequence as "wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install zip from SD, unmount SD, reboot". Is this anything different (referring to "install first, then wipe caches)?
[Nook Color Android Development] zizoty:
I'm not sure but i think you should just follow the intructions in the OP post just to be sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
OK... I went ahead and flashed dalingrin's OC kernel from post #700. I'll report back whether it solves the WiFi loop problem for me or not (I hope it does).

Now, the next question: It seems like dalingrin has few more updated kernels for Froyo since the one posted here. Is it fine to update to the latest in terms of the WiFi loop issue?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
This kernel seems to be working for me. My wifi looping hasn't happened since updating the kernel. I'll give it a run. I'm running SetCPU at 300-1100, I am running profiles to drop down when below 40% battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] jazzbass12:
Ive been running the kernell since last night. I still have the wifi looping. Frustrating....im running set cpu at 300/1100.
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
You can add me to "some people." At 1.1GHz on the interactive governor (no profiles) I could not complete a quadrant benchmark test. It would freeze every time after completing step 11 of 12 on the first line of the test (audio decoding or something). I also had a few blackscreens on reboot and general sluggishness when scrolling homescreens.

I cleared my cache and dalvik cache, then dropped down to 1GHz on the interactive governor (no profiles). It seems stable now and I'm getting Quadrant scores around 1170 to 1255.
[Nook Color Android Development] jayb222:
Kernel is working now! I don't know why though. Whatever. Wifi stays on through sleep now!
[Nook Color Android Development] zizoty:
1GHz is enough for the nook as long as the wifi issue is fix. FYI, cyanogen once tell people not to rely on benchmark because it doesnt really tell the whole story.
[Nook Color Android Development] jd95:
is there anyway to use my internal memory of 5 gb
[Nook Color Android Development] dizx:
Try it at 1000 instead of 1100 and see if that works.
[Nook Color Android Development] jimmyz:
Its there- just use the nookcolor usb app to mount the media partition- then you can transfer whatever you want from your computer to it

Hey guys just wondering if anybody has tried to run homerunbattle 3D? I keep getting an error when the app tries to gather device info. This happens after already installing additional data to sd card and right when i try to play the game for the first time. Anybody else see this?
[Nook Color Android Development] jimmyz:
yes - thats it- an older but completely functional version is already included in this thread's ROM
[Nook Color Android Development] jbuggydroid:
ok i was able to transfer files to my nook but how to i see them on the device to play? do they need to be a specific file or can i find them in astro and use rockplayer to play them?

nvm i was finally able to find it. for others in astro (that is what i use) make sure you are at the root of the system. tap on media, my files, videos if that is where you put them
[Nook Color Android Development] Chadwickity:
well after some debate I decided to go for the new kernel in post #711. I had absolutely no wifi looping problems with the original kernel and on the first boot with the new kernel it started looping on me. It hasn't done it since and I've had it in and out of sleep about 10 times so I'm hoping it was just a fluke.

if it does act up again, from my searches, the only advice I see is to just clear the cache and dalvik cache again right?

Still loving my nook, can't believe how well it works, thanks for all the hard work devs.
[Nook Color Android Development] jazzbass12:
Unfortunately, I did try that as well and wifi still loops. I am at 600/1000 (Set CPU) now with no profile. I also cleared cache and dalvik just for yucks. Hopefully, a fix will come around soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] dpoliteski:
Anyone come up with a solution to the NC not turning on without several attempts yet?

I often turn the unit completely off (shutdown), and not just let it sleep. If it is anything but a few minutes the unit won't boot without holding power and U button for 20 seconds a few different times, then rebooting from recovery screen.

I have a memory card in the unit, but have also tried to boot with no memory card, and still have to go through a few attempts at reset to get to reboot screen.

Anyone with same situation that has a resolution much appreciated.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
So far so good! WiFi connection came on every single time after coming out of sleep or after a reboot, and more importantly hasn't gone into an on/off loop. I am OCed at 1.0 GHz and will not change it - regardless of whether that makes any difference or not :D

Now, by next test for the WiFi connection will be trying to get online at work -or at Starbucks, etc- that require an extra screen/pop up to enter a login information or check a box to be able to connect. I've never been able to do that with the Autonootered 2.1 or with the Phiremod beta2. It just kept saying "connected, but no internet" instead of bringing a log in page. We'll see how that work for Nookie Froyo. Any experiences from people who have been using their NCs at Starbucks, Panera, etc? Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Here's another question: Has anyone been able to connect via VPN? I just entered all the information (e.g., vpn server, IPsec pass, etc, etc), but it is not able to connect.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
Still some apps missing

I had the same problem. I tried other build.prop files and still had 2 aviation apps I couldn't get to. I took the Nook build.prop and copied all the EVO 4G Shift info into it. I also copied over the Sprint carrier info. It worked for me, all my apps now show. It shows up as a "Speedy" or HTC EVO Shift. All the original nook screen resolutions are there. I had done this with my EVO 4G, but then I had two EVOs showing on the market. I switched to the EVO Shift so I could tell the two apart.

I just use Root Explorer and copied build.prop to the /System directory. You can use ADB, root explorer is just easy.

After replacing build.prop you have to go through the process of stopping the market and framework apps and clearing cache. It took a couple of times for me and then all the apps showed up. One of the apps I could never get was "RunwayScout". Once it showed up, I could get to everything.

New kernel and wifi

I hit 4 other networks last night. I used to see the wifi loop any time I tried to connect to a different network. They all connected fine and stayed connected. The new kernel made a major difference for me. Wifi was the one thing that had been driving me crazy. I'm running SetCPU at 300-1100.

Great job, thanks for all the hard work. I've tried other ROMs, this has been the most stable for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
Just so people don't get confused, the "new kernel" (post #700 & #711) is actually an older kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] newtonfb:
Ive looked through the thread....am i the only one having "Sleep" problem??

I bought my nook last week, flashed the rom and OC kernal and every couple times a day it wont wake up from sleep...i have to restart it. I tried to clear cache and dalik and nothing still. Any fix? ideas?? Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] bachviet:
It's related to the new kernel (03/08 and 03/11). I ran into the same problem so I flashed back to the older kernel (pre 02/25).
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=539047&d=1299790214

Most likely what bachviet said.

I had the same issue with the 3/8 kernel (nook would power off some point while sleeping) -- didn't try the 3/11 kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
Not sure why you linked this kernel to me, but...

@newtonfb - you should try the kernel he linked.

It should fix your issue, plus the wifi sleep issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] bachviet:
Because you asked in post #756

Anyway this kernel solves my two main problems (black screen of death aka not waking up from sleep and wifi looping).
[Nook Color Android Development] newtonfb:
Thanks guys! Appreciate the fast response
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
lol. I quoted newtonfb asking him what kernel he flashed. :p
[Nook Color Android Development] newtonfb:
I flashed the latest one(3/13 i think?) I just uploaded 2/25 kernal so hopefully that solves my problems.

Just out of curiousity....what do you guys have set for settings for SetCpu?
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
I'm using 300/1100 and no profiles and everything is running like a champ.
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
Using the 2/25 kernel should solve the issue you're having, but not the wifi issue. I think the kernel bachviet linked on the previous page is the best kernel solution for NF right now.

[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Would that kernel work with the Froyo SD verison? Just copy to /boot?

Anyone have issues adding a exchange 2010 account? I haven't been able to. 2007 works fine. Error out when connection and checking incoming server.

Also I noticed that the XDA app FC when opening a thread, both versions. Anyone get this?

I have the SD version, if that makes a difference? I am asking here as there is more people it seems.

Edit: Error is "Unable to open connection to the server" It works on the stock rooted, HC and my Captivate.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Thanks for the reports regarding 3-8 and 3-11 kernels. I dont know what the improvements are in those two, but since I haven't had any problems with the "old" kernel regarding not waking up from sleep or WiFi boot, I am going to keep it running on my NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
What's is the sort of battery life you all getting? I charged up last night, unplugged and went to sleep. About 11 hours lapsed before I checked the Nook again, and I was down to 90%. I have it overclocked to 1.1ghz with a screen off profile of 300-600mhx, conservative, 100 priority. App killer is also being used.

WiFi loop stops after opening Rom Manager

So the on going saga with the wifi looping. Let me run this by folks for opinion.

I am running the kernel update from post 711. I am also having the wifi loop issue. I usually can restore by the power down and then cancel.

However today, no matter what I did I could not get it to stop looping. I tried all suggestions on this thread.

I got to the point where I decided to reinstall the kernel.

I open up "rom manager" to re flash. Soon as I open "rom manager" the wifi restored. Does this make sense or offer any possible ideas to a resolve of this issue? Im sure it will start looping again after sleep.
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
Well I got this version on ok but I have an issue, when it goes to sleep it actually turns off - I have to hold the power button in and boot it again. Is there just some setting I am missing or is there a problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] faisalsiddiqui:
I will be very thankful if someone can kindly guide me on this.

I have a brand new Nook color on 1.1.0 (unrooted). I have burned the image on a 2 GB SD card and my nook color won't boot with hthe SD card. I have formatted it number of times trying different things (diskpart, Panasonic Utility, etc) and downloaded the image file repeatedly but my nook simply refuses to boot with the SD card. If i remove the SD card it quickly boots into stock.

I don't know what do? Please Help

Thanks in advance

Yep, same here. If I login, the force closes on opening a thread. No login, no problem.

I've taken to opening the thread, then using the browser option to post.
[Nook Color Android Development] GrillMouster:
What are you using to burn the image to SD? Are you just copying the.img file to the SD or are you using a utility like winimage? After burning are you validating that the files are there? Try formatting the SD in an Android phone if you have one. SD can actually have slightly different capacities even though they're both labeled 2GB. Maybe try a different SD card (4GB).

If you're running Windows 7, here's how I was able to recover the bad SD card format:

start, run, cmd <enter>

diskpart

list disk

select disk X (where X is the SD card)

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=fat

assign

exit

After that, the card is clean, and the Nook likes it again.
[Nook Color Android Development] hidden72:
I'm in the same boat. I actually came back for round 2 and after a few reboots ended up with the black screen again. I think I'll hold off on eMMC flashing for a bit too. Recovery takes a while. :)

I'll definitely stick around and see what happens. This would be a very nice build until the Honeycomb stuff gets a little more mature.

Same here !

I even cannot reboot anymore from emmc ... Recovery loop doesn't works anymore ... looks like my "boot sector" doesn't work anymore ...

Could someone here be kind ennough to tell me how to fix that, or just point me to the right thread ?

This is very frustrating, because everything was working fine ! This ROM was really nice, and snappy ... Just used it, installed quite basic stuffs, and after a few reboots, black screen ... I can only boot from an SD now ...

Besides this problem, thank ya Brianf for your work !
