ok here is a silly question. i read through about 40 of the 85 pages in this thread. and didnt find what i was looking for. i want to install froyo on my mothers nook color. now before i do this i was wondering, can my mother still use the barnes and noble app that she reads her books on? if she cant she doesnt want me to root the nook. meaning can she still read her books that she bought from BN just like she could before the root.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
There hasn't been a working port of the B&N app. You are best off rooting stock. But you could use the Nook app from the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
I believe you set that from within the SoftKeys application. So go to your app drawer, launch SoftKeys, tap on settings/tools (it looks like a set of hand tools), and then tap on "Physical Home Button." After that, follow Brian's instructions.
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
should i wipe data/factory reset?
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
Provide a little more information on what your question is referencing.
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
if im coming from the stock rom, while in recovery mode should i click " wipe data/factory reset" because im on the stock rom.

Book App

You would have to use the Android Nook App from the market. The major difference that I saw was that you could read books only. The Android Nook App does not support magazine or newspaper subscriptions. I had to cancel my Nat Geo magazine after going to Nookie Froyo.

Framework Update

Last night I found that some internet apps forced close after making the framework update. The browser, FCC Speed Test and Speed Test.net all FCed after the update.

I really like the layout with the new framework, anyone else have similar issues with similar apps FCing?

How is everyone managing their apps?

I want to sort some apps together by category, but have no idea where to start.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I use a free app from the market called Apps Organizer. It's basically just folders on steroids.
[Nook Color Android Development] migrax:
I decided to install this on eMMC and it is working fine. I had issues with the Market, apps not showing up and continuous failures, but the above steps helped me to get market working and it is running fine now. Thanks.

Havifng some issues once i installed flash 10.2 It stops working randomly and i need to uninstal and restore in Titanium. This a bug from froyo or is it cause i flashed the status bar hack?

search is broken too via Dolphin Mini. The address bar no longer doubles as a google shortcut
[Nook Color Android Development] hanbalfrek:
Two questions.

First, updating to the 3/18 version of the image will wipe out everything, right? How do I back everything up so that I don't need to start over from scratch?

I have everything working close to perfectly. (No market problems, no wireless problems, etc).

Second, the only problem I do run into occasionally is the fact that the Nook either powers down automatically or I can't wake it up from sleep. Basically its just a black screen and nothing turns it on until I press power and the n button at the same time to restart it.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Use titanium backup to backup everything,

It happens to me if the nook is asleep for a long time like 12+hrs then it doesn't want to wake up and I have to restart it.
[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
More I play more funky little quirks pop up. I had a random power down today. I turned on the screen withh the intent to unlock and use. But a text came thru onmy cell and betwn that time and when I grabbed the nook again, it had turned off.

[Nook Color Android Development] Neptune5k:
Loving the updated framework with this build. I am having some bootup issues where the nook seems to hang at "the future of reading" but if i boot into CWM, then reboot from there it loads right up. I guess its just easier to put it to sleep between uses for now.

Looking forward to more updates. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Is their a working OC kernel with Interactive governer for Nookie Froyo? I was previously using one of Dalingrin's but had nonstop wifi issues. I'm currently using the kernel posted in comment #700 without problems, I just miss the interactive governor.
[Nook Color Android Development] DDowns:
Thanks for this... but still can't get Google Earth in the market. I have a sideload, but it crashes. Does anyone have Earth working here? :( It's the last app that I really want on my nookie, at least until we get EMMC bluetooth love here.
[Nook Color Android Development] ford12acing:
after my battery drained i charged it and now it's stuck on the "touch the future of reading"
[Nook Color Android Development] Neptune5k:
Try booting into Clockworkmod by holding the N key and power while you boot. From there, "Reboot System Now" and see if it works. That usually does the trick for me when I get hung up at that screen.
[Nook Color Android Development] ford12acing:
hmmm i can't seem to get into recovery like that....(lol ps im not a total noob, i have been doing this with my galaxy s for a while now)

If you can't download anything from the market place, go to managing apps, clear the data for marketplace and clear data for the googleframework.

Reboot your Nooks and try to log onto Google Talk. This work for me on the first try

If you don't have the full market, do this:

Go into Managing App, clear the cache for the market and clear the data for google framework. Reboot your nook and it should be working. If it doesn't, repeat the process until it does.

Finally I have all the apps available that I have on my G2.

Also installing on the emmc is two or three times fast as running it from the SD card. If I knew this, I would have install to the emmc and not even bother with the sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
Flash finally shows in the market for me!

I thought I'd post my experience in case this helps anyone.

Using some of the market fixes posted in this thread, I was able to get 99% of my market working. My purchased apps showed up, they installed correctly, and 99.99% of free apps showed. The only one that didn't was Flash. Neither 10.1 or 10.2 would show in the market. I had to side load it.

However, after messing around today on my nook I was able to get it to show up like it should. All I did was go into settings>applications>manage applications>all, select Market, and clear data. It seems to have forced Market to reset something because right after that Flash 10.2 showed up in my "flash" search.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
If you clear cache after this, then Flash will stop showing up again... Go figure...

Can't move apps to SDcard any more

With the latest update, I now get "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left." when trying to move any app to SDcard. There is 4.5 GB free.

Update: Using "Install to SDCard" actually sends the apps to /mnt/asec instead of /mnt/sdcard, which runs out of space pretty fast. I wonder if that can be fixed? Perhaps a soft link?
[Nook Color Android Development] initial_k:
Quick question. so I'm using the 5GB internal media storage and put pictures on there via NookColorUMS.

However, when I go back onto my nook and choose "gallary" it doesn't pull up any picture on the media folder as it's looking for an SD card. Any way to get around this?

Same for music.
[Nook Color Android Development] britoso:
Has the wake-reboot bug fixed in the 4/3 release?

i.e. the NC reboots when you try to wake it from sleep.

Any other random reboots?
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
Wifi doesn't stay connected any more

Latest version seems to have broken that rock-solid WiFi connection I had while using WiFi Keep Alive, it appears.

Also, Nook-Froyo Utils just FC's. NookColor Utils still runs the old version.
[Nook Color Android Development] initial_k:
Nevemrind, found a way around this by using app: Quickpic for photo and Meridian for music. These app let you navigate to the folder you want play your music. The stock app will only pull media from the SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Is anyone running into Nook-Froyo Utils FCing? Flash back to the other kernel you were using and see if that fixes the wifi.
[Nook Color Android Development] cowballz69:
anyone have a working framework.jar to install swype and homerun battle?
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
I'd be glad to give that a shot. Do you have the previous kernel that would be flashable by itself, so I won't lose my apps?
[Nook Color Android Development] vlucchetti:
Installed the 3-28-11 kernel, still FC on the n-f utils. Re-installed, wiped cache, still fc.

Put 3-31 on separate, still the same.
[Nook Color Android Development] vlucchetti:
Okay, I went in and using Root Explorer, found 2 nookfroy related apk's. I renamed the other nookfroyo to "old", then installed the Nookie-Froyo util over the existing one and it works.

ETA: Only runs via Root Explorer. hitting the icon in apps gives the FC.

FWIW, I prefer the 160 setting over the 180, 200 and others.

LOL, last post! Put the nookfroyoutil back to .apk, installed Nookie-FroyoUtil, and now it runs from the icon in apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
I had issues with random reboots before when waking up from sleep, but after I disabled the sleep wifi on screen off as a workaround for the wifi on/off problem, it's been extremely stable.

Here's what you need to do:

1. go to wifi setting, click menu, advanced

2. wifi sleep policy - set to never

3. use rom manager and fix permissions

4. reboot into CWM and format cache, clear dalvik, restart

5. (optional) if the wifi still goes on/off, reflash with Dalingrin's latest OC kernel

Btw, I'm curious if you had any issues with hardware accelerated videos (mp4 h264) where if you play a couple of videos, it starts playing them in portrait only mode? I'm waiting for a new SD card to isolate this problem to see if it's NFroyo or the OC kernel causing it.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Do you have angry birds installed?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Are you playing videos from the web site or off the sdcard? If it is a web site, give us a link to test it.
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
I also get FCs with Nook Color Utilities. It fails to uninstall too, even with Titanium.
[Nook Color Android Development] hanbalfrek:
Can you elaborate on this a little bit please?

I found the two .apk's, then it gets a little confusing.

First you said to rename, but then you said not to, so I'm going to skip that step.

The second part is to install Nookie-Froyo Util.apk?

Where do I get the apk to reinstall it? Its already in the app folder.

Sorry for being a noob.
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
Angry Birds Rio, yes.
[Nook Color Android Development] MedLine:
Same here. Switched back to Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 eMMC (0.5) from CM7 for better standby battery drain. Using it with dalingrin OC 040411. Exact same problem you described with Act 1. Further, Quadrant hangs at step 10 - H.264 decoding. Will try flash back to stock kernel and retest when have time.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
It seems Angry Birds messing with the sdcard automounting. Can you uninstall angry birds reboot then test if you can move apps to sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
No difference. It still wants to put apps in /mnt/asec instead of /mnt/sdcard for some reason.

BUT....Interestingly enough, Titanium Backup does let you move apps to the SDcard successfully.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrant:
Currently running a rooted Nook 1.1, rooted using Auto-Nooter 3.0. Had flashed CWR using ROM Manager, but had problems, found this thread:

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...le-cwr-msd-v3-0-1-0-ext3-ext4-compatible.html

Which helped me get a working CWR flashed.

After playing with Nookie Froyo on a uSD card, I was impressed with the performance increase Froyo provides, but disappointed by the IO limitation the SD card gives.

Will I be able to flash this using CWR 3.0.1.0? Do I just wipe all data and update using the zip?

I want to make sure this works before I wipe out my rooted config. I have a nandroid backup, but I am still wary.

--MrAnt--
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
This will not format /system just copy the files over; also it will copy the 3/31/11 kernel. It will not touch /data, if you wipe data, all your apps will be gone. I would try to flash the zip without doing anything to /data and see how it goes. I haven't tested it yet with CWR 3.0.1.0. Has anyone used this with CWR 3.0.1.0?
[Nook Color Android Development] mrant:
Ok. Making a fresh nandroid backup right now, then will give it a try.

Should I format/wipe /system before flashing?

I guess I can try without wiping anything, if that doesn't work, I'll try wiping /system and try again. If still no go, I'll wipe /system and /data and try once more.

I'll post back the results.

PS: Already running the 3/31/11 kernel for eclair, love the OC

--MrAnt--
[Nook Color Android Development] mrant:
Which ones should I format before flashing?

/boot

/system

/cache
[Nook Color Android Development] mrant:
Formatted /cache and /system, flashed the zip and booted into froyo with all my apps in place. CWR still works, fixed the market problem. Everything seems good, my linpack score went from 7 to around 12-13. But everything still seems laggy, its strange. Any ideas?

--MrAnt--
[Nook Color Android Development] vlucchetti:
Sorry, was writing as I did things. There are two Nookie-froyo apk files. One nookiefroyoutils.apk and one Nookie-Froyo.apk. Don't change any names, was just something I did as I went to see what would happen. In Root Explorer, click on Nookie-Froyo Utils.apk. it will ask you if you want to install it. I say I do, continue to install. When I return to the app menu at teh main screen, I press the icon, and voila, it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
The above fix worked for me. Nook Color Utilities is behaving now.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrant:
UPDATE: Fixed the lag by turning off haptic feedback. Looks like most everything works. Had to clear cache and data from some apps that would simply force closed. Some apps don't work at all, like Google Earth.

I seem to have a problem with notification ringtones though. I am unable to edit notifcation sounds, the settings menu force closes when I try. The last time a notifcation occured, the Nook made an awful noise and everything turned laggy. I think something related to notifcation audio broke.

Also, I had WeatherBug elite installed before the flash, but now it is gone. I can't find it in the app manager and I am unable to reinstall it from a Titanium backup or from the Amazon app store. When I try to install WeatherBug from Market, I get an error "Shared libraries missing". Should I manually remove any traces of it and try reinstalling? Not sure how to solve this.

Other than those issues, flashing via CWR 3.0.1.0 works great.

--MrAnt--
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I am not getting any FC in settings. Sounds like you have some bad cached data. I would continue to clear cache on the apps you are having a problem with and long with removing any trace of apps that has been uninstalled. You could try adb logcat then run the app and post results to pastebin.com to see if any of us can find the problem. Make sure you post the link. Lastly, you can completely wide data, then you would have to reinstall all your apps. You are on the right track.

This is a good example as to why I like to create new fresh images versus updates, but mostly people hate having to redo all their settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] hanbalfrek:
I'm also having problems reinstalling WeatherBug Elite after the upgrade.

I thought it was an isolated issue, but today's free app on Amazon, Wolfram Alpha, has the same problem.

All it says is Application not installed.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nook Color Android Development] Tweakrr:
I was having problems with some applications installing, like Zillow, and Yelp. It was complaining that a shared library was missing. I did a fresh install of the older .3 version from the .3 img, then did the flashable zip update with .5, then the usual market fix which is to clear the cache data for market and clear the data for google framework services, then use rom manager to fix permissions and reboot. I think the main fix was to start with the .3 version which had the missing libraries, then update from there.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrant:
I was able to get Weatherbug to install without errors using the info fro this thread. I was hopeful this would fix location services too, but no such luck.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861955

Once you copy the missing files you will need to set the permissions correctly. I tried ROM Manager's fix permission script, but that did not seem to set the correct permissions. Just go in using a file manager like root explorer and set the permissions to match the rest of the files in the folders. Worked perfectly.

--MrAnt--
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Bump, just updated the image.
[Nook Color Android Development] dwhisent:
Nobody else trying the new one? I'll post my experience.

I wasn't totally sure what I needed to do for initial install of froyo, so I took the instructions on 1st post literally... it said don't format data, only format cache if necessary. I was running Autonootered 1.1 to start with. I flashed CWR 3.0.1.0 img to an SD card and put the .6 release .zip on the card also. Booted CWR, formatted only system, then did update with the .6. REALLY bad results, everything was unhappy, force closing all over the place. So I went back to CWR and cleared cache, then again and cleared data, each time got a bit better, but in general pretty awful. So went back again and formatted system, data, cache, and updated with .5. This looked pretty good. Went straight back to CWR, formatted system, updated to .6 again. OK, things looked much better. The only issue was market not showing all apps (Dolphin HD was my test), and then installs from market hanging. I did the "standard" market fix (clear Google Framewrok data, clear Market cache, reboot). No good. Repeated a couple of times. Did a more intensive market fix I found in one of the earlier posts on this thread (involving steps in CWR), still no good. Did the standard market fix two more times... and all of a sudden, market was good. All seems to be running well now. I also turned off hepatic feedback, as was suggested a few posts above, seemed to help with some sluggishness. I'm very happy with this, hope to use it for a long while. Thanks, brianf21!
[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
I'm very happy with it which is why I haven't really bothered to try the new one. I'm still running the one 3-4 releases ago. Only thing I've really added since was the status bar hack. That said, I do want to see what all the buzz about CM7 is all about:)
[Nook Color Android Development] Elmoglick:
Updated and looks very nice, Brian. Everything still works. Only minor issues still linger -- the finicky wifi and the inability to move apps to SD without Titanium Backup. Other than that --- pretty damn sweet.

Thanks very much for your continued efforts!
[Nook Color Android Development] Tweakrr:
I like the interface updates.

For some reason I lost a few market apps like zillow and movies. I tried theusual cache, permissions, data reset but that isn't fixing it. Wifi is still finicky.
[Nook Color Android Development] Tweakrr:
This is still my goto daily driver rom. Still the best featureset with stability and performance. Thanks again Brian!

Great Build

I did a clean build with this update and it went smooth. No problems at all.

Loaded everything back from Titanium and no issues there either.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Apps not showing up in the market for me: twitter for android, simi clock.

I tried installing them through app brain, but no go. Don't even show up.

Bump; updated the image. Bluetooth is working. Post your results. Credit goes to dalingrin.
[Nook Color Android Development] acwyau:
Install went flawlessly and working bluetooth was the reason I was curious in trying this new version. Blutooth turned on quickly and paired with my Blackberry HS500 headset without any issues. The headset is capable of A2DP streaming but i get no audio from the Nook. It appears to be streaming over bluetooth but doesnt sdem to be working for me
[Nook Color Android Development] gamerteck:
I did another clean build and all went well, until configuring the QuickDesk app.

This install I chose QuickDesk as the default home launcher, I got through to the end where it asks me to push the home button to set it as the default. I pushed home and nothing happened. I had to back out until I was at the desktop.

My physical home and virtual home button now no longer work. I can press the home button to take the screen out of standby but not to get to the home screen.

I tried removing QuickDesk, installing softkeys-in hopes of being able to reconfigure the buttons. I also installed homescreen switcher but was not able to set the default home buttons. Cleared all settings cache and rebooted.

I'm doing another fresh install to see if I can make it happen again.

***UPDATE****

Another clean build fixed the problem. Something funky must have happened when the default settings where saved for QuickDesk.

All is well now. Great build as usual!
[Nook Color Android Development] waylo:
Anyone else with A2DP bluetooth results? I'm thinking of switching over to this ROM for that reason alone!

Flashed the most recent update from scratch. There are quite a few apparently I can't get to install. I can download them from market and I can start the install but then it errors and says the installation failed. Twitter, tweetdeck and twicca are some of the apps.

I've tried to fix permissions in both rom manager and CWR, plus cleared dalvik-cache, cleared market cache and services data. Nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?

Same issue as wretchedlocket's post above mine. I tried everything in that post, and same result.
