What lags? The Launcher? Certain apps? Video?

I am running very smooth, with Quad scores from 16xx-19xx. Of course some video sources suck, but that is the case on the NC period.

Certain apps don't work or don't work as well as I would like, but that is because HC is so new and a lot of apps have not been written (or re-written) to take advantage of the new O/S.

But, all in all, for a preview version, I am incredibly impressed. Great work by deeper-blue, Sam, and the CM crew!
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
oh yeah with source this will be the new cm8.

with all the progress we have made with cm7 it should be sweat.
[Nook Color Android Development] javip:
does anyone have a good LCD Density setting that keeps screens from overlapping over the edge of the screen?
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Follow this link for more info on how to get the Market working:

http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market

Also, I am attaching the build.prop that I am using with success, for your reference.

As always, you should do a CWR backup using the bootable SD card prior to messing with the build.prop. Consequently, it would be wise to make a backup of your original build.prop, just in case it is needed at some point.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Where are you seeing the overlapping? Stock HC Launcher (Launcher2)? Or certain apps?
[Nook Color Android Development] explorer-10:
so when will there be a working flash, since the one from mydroidworld doesnt work?

also, just a quickie. im using stock rom rooted, installed Raging Thunder 2 and it plays, but no fullscreen. how can i make it so that it plays full screen with function tilt?
[Nook Color Android Development] javip:
Stock HC launcher. I noticed right off that the music player was already overlapping to the left of the screen. Also, if I drag an App icon to put on the screen sometimes it will put it between any left and right screen borders. the app icon itself disappears but can be brought back in by moving between screens with a long press. you can actually see the app icon itself sitting on the grid but off the screen. I wish there was a nice video recording utility i could use to show the problem.

I actually really love this Honeycomb (slower wifi but livable) but i had to jump back to another rom because Laputa book reader wouldn't work for me :( (better than aldiko imo)

but i constantly jump back and forth between roms so no big if i have to test something out.

I think the most current version of ShootMe allows for video capture. Although I have no idea if it will work on the NC. ShootMe does work for screen caps on HC though.
[Nook Color Android Development] Brett8187:
I have the same problem with the HC launcher overlapping. The sides overlap of the icons to the edge of the screen
[Nook Color Android Development] Brett8187:
doesnt seem to have worked i did all the steps and used your build.prop. Various screens still have Loading...

I'm going to try a fresh install and see if an app is breaking the market because it does work at first...
[Nook Color Android Development] javip:
here are some pictures of the issue. the first one i took with my phone because some apps on honeycomb nook don't seem to register orientation correctly even if the orientation is properly switched. for example, quickpics won't let me rotate the second image and has it displayed in landscape even though my nookc is in portrait.

(not complaining, just pointing out things i notice so the ones working on hc can know what's going on. i happen to love honeycomb on my nookc)

here's the one i took with ShootMe 0.8.0 that QuickPics refused to rotate (i find quickpics to be far superior to gallery.
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
This is the cut off notification pop-up I had posted about earlier, similar to your problem, but I only use one screen, so mine isn't a scrolling issue...

This is with my LCD Density set down to 120. No way to fix this right? It looks fine in landscape mode by the way.
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
i think all honeycomb builds have that glitch

i dont think there is a way to fix it at the moment
[Nook Color Android Development] Brett8187:
I made the switch back to 2.3. HC was a wee bit too buggy for me in this form. Too many apps failed and the cutoff stuff was just annoying. The marketplace failing as well was a no go.
[Nook Color Android Development] itsed:
Ditto on the overlapping, I think its enough for me to go back to gingerbread for the time being.
[Nook Color Android Development] joe91584:
The overlapping I have gotten use too, however now seeing the support for bluetooth I am starting to think more and more about CM7. Just CM7 also lacks the video support so there really is no way to have smooth video. Here goes 2.2.1 once more lol.

So many positives and so many negatives for each rom at this point. At the end of the day I still love HC.

Going to get a 2nd Nookcolor tomorrow.

(for a family member so it maybe 3 nooks everyone I show it too loves the nook with HC)
[Nook Color Android Development] itsed:
I downloaded launcher pro in hopes to fix the problem, but launcher pro itself doesnt work when i try to run it.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Agreed.

This past week I began really using the stock launcher in HC and not using Zeam. I disabled "Auto-rotate screen" in Settings > Screen and I used it primarily in landscape mode (disabling the auto-rotate helped to train my brain to always use it in landscape). Based on my use, it just seems Honeycomb is meant to be used mostly in landscape mode.

So, I did some research, as I remember seeing YouTube videos of Honeycomb before the SDK came out and the people doing the demos were always using the Xoom in landscape.

So, if you look at these two videos of Honeycomb (the one with Andy Rubin of Google was from early December and the other is from CES in January), they will illustrate what I mean:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4NqT6u_ODk&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koIzhLaRJJo

By getting used to using my NC in landscape mode with the stock launcher, I had a much better experience than using it in portrait mode. Like everyone else, I experienced the Notification window getting cut-off in portrait. Also, I found that if I had too many notifications, they would then get tucked behind the "menu" button. This was not the case in landscape.

I also like the way the email app looks in landscape, with the double pane. Wish we had the Gmail app like the Xoom, but that isn't the case yet.

In any event, I really like HC on the NC. I just re-built it again tonight (for what seems like the 100th time) and I am getting Quad scores in the 18xx. So, very snappy. My Market works great, so no complaints from me. I tried CM7 and just missed the look and feel of HC, so that is what I will stay with for now. I think the HC development has stagnated and so trying to make the best use of what we got right now.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
This is the first I have heard of LP not working on the NC with HC :confused:

Recovery Boot Utility

I have downloaded and flashed to emmc version 1. I thought I was flashing version 2, which includes the "Boot Recovery Utility". My bad. I am needing to get back into recovery to flash the second version. I have experimented with this before and now I am back to stay. The utility has worked for me in the past. If someone has the ability and would be so kind, could you post the apk for that utility. I would be grateful.

Do u not have a bootable SD card of CWR?
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
I tried a number of times prior to burn cwr to an SD card and could not get my device to boot from it. I dont know if the image did not burn or if it is a hardware issue to where my device wont boot from the card.
[Nook Color Android Development] richdaley:
Hi All,

I'm back after a quick rendezvous with CM7. I really missed the HC browser and email client. I just couldn't go back to Gingerbread even though I want Google Voice.

Anyway, is there a way to change the user agent for the browser in this build? I thought that I had changed it before but I don't see it now.

Also, what is up with AOSP? The Xoom has been out for a couple of weeks now but no word on the source.

Thanks,

Rich

[Nook Color Android Development] javip:
If you used the sdcard to flash the emmc then you should have no problem burning one of the cwr images to an sdcard and booting.

I suggest getting another image from a mirror incase the one you had was corrupt.

Sent from my honeycomb sweetened NookColor. Yeah yeah yeah.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
You would think so. I was looking for a quick fix. I am really pressed for time next day or so. The last attempt booting for the card was a 2 hour ordeal. If the boot recovery apk is not posted overnight, I may have time to attempt tomorrow. Thanks to everyone.

it's getting close to a hole month since i have seen any updates to the honeycomb... Was wondering if the dev is still working on updates to the honeycomb build that's already out

Waiting for Google to release source code.
[Nook Color Android Development] richdaley:
Thanks. That method worked. This is a big deal for me because I like to use the Nook to text while I am supposed to be working so score one for being unproductive!

I had to use adb to push the files. Root Explorer force closes when I try to open it.
[Nook Color Android Development] richdaley:
I can answer my own question if anybody else is interested. You can change the user agent:

Open browser

Type about:debug in the address field (no page will load)

Open settings and you will see Debug under Labs on the left pane

Select Debug

Select UAString

Change the UAString to Desktop
[Nook Color Android Development] dunndada:
I think this has to be done everytime the nook restarts.....
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Yeah, I just rebooted and lost "debug" in Settings.

Market Issues

I just bought a nook and flashed the NON ext4 ROM. I can get to the Android market and view all the apps i use on my phone, but they won't install. It says "your item will be downloaded" and you see the download icon flash for a second on the bottom right, but nothing ever installs. I seached on here but problems seemed like they couldn't find thier apps, not that they won't even install.
[Nook Color Android Development] gutowscr471:
Nevermind all, i just followed the ADB procedures and everything is working as expected. THIS IS AWESOME.

confused...so I put hte iomonster flashable image on my sd card....but when I look @ it in win 7 it only shows boot....and it's only like 3.57mb or whatever. Where do I add the HC4 flashable zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] exactor_mortis:
When using the Iomonster flash image, just add the zip file to the base of the folder. So, simply:

1. Flash the image to the sd card.

2. Open it in windows explorer

3. Copy-Paste HC-v4-emmc.zip to the root of the card.

4. Put the card in the nook.

5. Continue from there with the part in the instructions that say "Boot with SD inserted, go to 'mounts and storage', and...."
[Nook Color Android Development] sincerity:
okay i misread it, so it does have 895 mb left

when I click on it in win explorer, there are only 4 files listed....drop it there?

MLO

u-boot.bin

uImage

uRamdisk

Exactly.

[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
I don't believe clockwork recovery works with honeycomb at all. Wifi cutting in and out seems like a hardware failure or a bad flash, or just bad reception (I listened to pandora for about 3-4hours last night and was checking email periodically with no problems)

As for it being laggy did you clear your data partition? Usually it lags if you didn't. Also if you're using the stock launcher go into dev tools and set animations to either fast or off to really speed it up.

Very true, I actually think I'm going to start using Honeycomb as my daily build. Possibly dual boot froyo with it in case I really need flash though (that is until flash is fixed for HC)
[Nook Color Android Development] DebauchedSloth:

[Nook Color Android Development] Syco54645:
When long pressing on the home screen it lags bringing up te next window.also hitting apps at the top lags as well. Just choppy. I assume this is because hardware acceleration is missing.

Market Issues

All,

I did the fix using ADB to get the market to work and download programs. The problem i have now is that some items don't show up in the market (e.g. pandora, facebook, etc). Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.. :rolleyes:

I know you don't have to give any kind of support for dual_boot, but I do appreciate it. Only other issue I have left is, wifi tries to connect "obtaining ip address" then drops and starts all over again. Tried with wep, wpa, and an open network as well. I tried searching this thread, but can't find a definitive response on it. Is this a known issue?

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Sure your not having a problem with your Mac address again? Try restarting your router..
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
No, definitely not, I'm at work right now. Tried a couple different wifi connections available here. Also su doesn't seem to be opperating correctly either.

My steps to get this installed was:

-Formatted my dualboot partitions to ext4

-Extracted your your data.tar and system.tar and copied it over to the nh_dualboot.zip that was setup by rookie1

-Revised updater-script to point to ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 for /system and ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 for /data

-Used your uRamdisk - unpacked, edit and repacked with init.rc to point to mmcblk0p9 for /system and mmcblk0p10 for /data

-Renamed uRamdisk to uHRam for dualboot

-Used your uImage / renamed to uHImg for dualboot

-Flashed with CWM 1.1.0

And that was it, I beleive. Rebooted and honeycomb started up. And now the 2 issues I have.

Thanks again for all your guidance,

Curious what type of sdcard you using getting this msg. Reason I ask is I have 2 Kingston 32Gb sdcard ( class 4 or 6 can't recall). And when I tried using one to setup HC to run from sdcard instead of eMMC I got the exact same msg and have yet to figure out how to get around it. To fix it I just setup a 16Gb card and have had no issue, but the darn 32Gb cards are driving me nutty atm as I'd really like to use them instead of the 16Gb card
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Actually I have it setup as a dual_boot on EMMC, not SDcard. And I was getting that error because I forgot to format my dualboot partitions to ext4.

802.1x WIreless Network not showing up (Hidden)

I have an interesting issue.

i cannot connect to my hidden 802.1x network on my NC. The same configuration works on my Galaxy S running Gingerbread.

Since its hidden, you have to manually add the network, and that wont even save in the list of remembered networks
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
I am looking into this...I disabled my broadcast, but my NC still shows my network there, even though I chose to "Forget" it.

In any event, I am going to rebuild my NC (yes, for like the zillionth time) and hopefully with a fresh build and no SSID I can test this out and see if I experience the same behavior.
