Youtube works

The youtube app works. Just not in HQ and the settings don't stick from the settings menu.

Just start a video and before it starts playing press the HQ button in the top right corner of the screen to turn off HQ and the video will play.
[Nook Color Android Development] tekthebeast:
Why does this wipe internal memoryy? How would you back it up?
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
I am not even playing HQ movies and it doesn't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
That is what the EMMC version does, runs HC off internal memory. Much faster than running the SD version, but you are locked into using just this version of HC (as opposed to simply pulling the SD card and then running something else off EMMC, like stock).

I have not been able to boot into the CWR from the app Sam put on here in the 2nd edition, as when I try, it just reboots the phone and I never get to the CWR menu. I haven't played with it all that much, as I have been fighting other fires.

However, what I did to get a back-up is just took an 8Gb SD card and installed the bootable CWR on there (as described in the OP) and did a back-up from the CWR menu. Did a restore as a test and it worked without any problems.

Hope this helps....
[Nook Color Android Development] tekthebeast:
Hmm, okay (= that helped. Sorry I'm new to the nook, but not to android! Such a different way of flashing than other tabs and phones.
[Nook Color Android Development] Izord:
Neither you nor no one else is playing HQ movies on HC Nook.

It does too work. I'm watching a youtube video on my HC Nook right now with the app.

You must have a poopy nook. Or you were a poopy head when you installed HC.

Are you running from the SD card or internal memory?

:D
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
This is definitely a diff beast for sure, but your having Android experience will go a long way. I wish I was smarter about development, but sadly my experience is on the end-user side of things. Just glad we got such a smart community and this being different is what makes it fun :)
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Ummm, I have built my NC many times with both the 1st version and the 2nd. And since this is the EMMC thread, why you don't take a guess at what I am running. Not to mention YouTube is not something I care about all that much about, so not a show-stopper for me by any means.
[Nook Color Android Development] LOLSTi:
Another great job. Kudos!
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
LMFAO this made my day
[Nook Color Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
First of all, Thanks to samuelhalff for all the work. This build on EMMC rocks and we all appreciate all the hard work you (and other devs) put in!

Just reread deeper-blue first post on 3.0 v04 and saw it still notes "accelerometer behaves funky". Maybe related?

I can confirm the above. Changed the density to 180 and Launcher FC's on boot with no hope of fixing...
[Nook Color Android Development] bartonkt:
I was able to play video's OK today on this HC eMMC v2 build. I used handbrake + NC presets file to generate a .mp4 video, copied it over to /sdcard, and then (strangely) I had to use a combo of two video players. QQPlayer by default doesn't see the file on the SD, but "video player" off the market see's it ok. So I open Video Player, select my video, get prompted to use "Movies" or "QQPlayer" app, choose QQ, and the movie starts playing. Playback was still a bit choppy, but watchable.
[Nook Color Android Development] Toys Samurai:
I don't think it matters. You need to play a video that DOES NOT have a HD version. If it does, even if you play in SD, it won't be played (I tried the quick-finger-to-toggle-off-HD trick, that didn't help.)

[Nook Color Android Development] SamdungSpambot:
just installed very nice, youtube app works for me as well... just not in HQ
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
Version 1 seemed to worked better for me but I'm gonna stick with this one. Tried the CMs for a couple a nights but I know what I really want is some Honey. Maybe V3 on the way Sam?
[Nook Color Android Development] JaysFreaky:
I didn't even have a Youtube app installed. I had to grab it from the market. What'd you do to get it to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] SamdungSpambot:
I just installed it from market and it worked... But anything hq will give error.. Just toggle of the hq
[Nook Color Android Development] aaps:
Me too. Just downloaded Youtube app from market and it works with HQ clicked off. Great build of HC for NC and I'm really looking forward to v5. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] wpnyc2009:
click of Youtube HQ

I have unclicked "high quality on mobile" but it keeps trying to start up in HQ mode, so I have to click on-screen as well to remove. Is there a way to cancel HQ permanently until its working on HoneyComb?

Thanks m8s!
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
I lost home and "n" button functionality again. Clearing launcher's cache, default settings, and force closing it didn't bring it back, nor did reboots. The "n" button will still wake it from sleep, and the soft home button still lights up when pressed, but no functionality otherwise.

I wonder if it's related to trying this edit to init.rc?

[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
I don't mean to be rude, but is it possible to make this ROM not need boot to be formatted?

It shouldn't ever need to be touched, and honestly I'm sick of people thinking you need to format boot every time you install a new ROM. I've helped far too many people recover from doing that when trying to install CM7 or the official Froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
2nd edition does not ask for formatting boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] gujupmp88:
same thing happened to me, but i dont think that is the problem. i did it more than a day before this problem happened. also, my lockscreen doesnt show up anymore. yes, it is turned on in the settings
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
No format on boot required here. It does overwrite with OC Kernel though. I don't see how this could be a problem, restoring to stock is very easy with the tools available in this forum.

Moreover, this is marked as [DEV]. And people were messing up their boot long before this ROM came along..

If you have any specific suggestions, I'm all ears..

And by the way, I'm also in the helping business. You're not alone, don't worry.
[Nook Color Android Development] BlueScreenOfTOM:
Sorry if this has been asked a million times, I searched but I didn't see it. Is there an SD card version of this image? I know it's slower and all, but I'm not ready to take the plunge into flashing over my eMMC quite yet. I ran the original deeper-blue HC v4 from 2/7 on my SD card, it works great but it's missing all the most recent updates and Google Apps/Market.

Thanks!

love the HC but i use fb chat a lot on my NC. seems to force close a lot. any fix guys?

Coming from autonooter ive noticed HC is crushing the battery. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
It should smooth out. Give it a day or so.
[Nook Color Android Development] Hilbe:
I know the first post says something about the 3.0.0.6 on non SD recovery, but has anyone tried installing this build using the new 3.0.0.9 recovery? Curious if I can install it without needing to use the bootable SD recovery now...
[Nook Color Android Development] gujupmp88:
So does anyone know what is going on with my nook right now. The soft home button and the "n" button do not work. The lockscreen doesn't show up. and it doesn't appear to be going on standby mode when asleep. Something is keeping it awake and i cannot figure out what it is. when i look at my battery usage, there is a steady and steep decline on the chart, but i haven't used my nook for most of the day. This all happened out of nowhere this morning.
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
I isolated it to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ files settings.db, settings.db-shm, and settings.db-wal.

Replaced mine with the one from Sam's ROM, and it's back to normal. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] aaps:
I don't know of a way to make it stay in non-HQ. I just click the HQ button when the video starts. Sorry :(
[Nook Color Android Development] ccapasso:
So I should be getting my nook color today and am planning on flashing this to it. I already rooted my wife's but didn't flash anything to the eMMC.

I am familiar with rooting and flashing in general as I have done it on my Hero and EVO. From what I've read about the nook color, it looks to be basically "un-brickable." What I am wondering is this:

Before flashing this, is it possible to make a backup of my nook color using CWR like I normally would do for my EVO (NAND restore for example)? Or, do I just use one of the Stock Images Found here and burn them to another SD card and flash that to restore?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nook Color Android Development] survivor_evil:
Just flash it its literally impossible to break the nc. If you mess up something you can always boot up from the sd card and install from there. It wont take you more than 10 min to install this, yes if you break it just use the stock images found here.
[Nook Color Android Development] fsrkewd:
Is it normal that i can not download apps from market? The download will just stop and disappear after i click download. I am using the emmc version of v4, not the 2nd ed.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] jhnstn00:
Should work. clear cache and try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Yes, permissions related. Has been discussed in this thread before. Look for my post regarding the matter. Removing sdcard while downloading and installing apps is a workaround..

Repaired in 2nd edition.
[Nook Color Android Development] fsrkewd:
clear cache = clear cache for market or the format cache in CWR?

i cleared teh cache in market, and when i press download, it will change to starting download, then disappeared
[Nook Color Android Development] fsrkewd:
I didn't have sd card installed tho

anyway, i flashed the 2nd ed rom, seem to work great now!

Thanks

[Nook Color Android Development] BKCtree:
How do I add this zip to IOMonster clockwork?
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
Okay so I'm new to nook flashing.

1) how do I get the cwr image onto the sd card? I tried following diections but its tough. It just says burn to sd card.

2) after cwr, flashing this zip, will it root the device or do I need to be rooted first?

3) read so much about the 5gb space not being available, is that true for HC? Is the 5gb space still available after flash?
[Nook Color Android Development] miketaylor00:
Why would anyone want to use Launcher Pro with HoneyComb? Isn't the whole point of HC the UI changes? I could see if this was a super stable build that was better than Gingerbread but it obviously isn't. Can someone explain this to me?
[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
Is there a way to have ad-hoc support? or a patch?

im worried about trying the old patch for the stock nook, being this is a completely different style of OS
[Nook Color Android Development] eismanxda:
Should the SDcard mount? mine doesn't but no error notification.
[Nook Color Android Development] exactor_mortis:
Mine mounted without issue.

Just got a 1545 Quadrant on my nook. Best I got under 2.1 was 1260-ish with the 1100 kernel
[Nook Color Android Development] sixcoronas:
I have had this same issue on v2 and v3and v4. I pushed the vold files from Froyo with no luck.

I have formatted the card using diskpart in windows, Easeus,and with my G2 and swapped out cards.

I'm at a loss. Aside from this, this rom is a daily driver.
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
I have not tried the others, but when windows did not work, I use SD Formatter to format my ad cards and have not had any problems since.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
You have to go into settings--->Storage scroll down and press mount sd card. For some reason its not always automatic.

By the way, scored a 2049 quadrant score running this off emmc.
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
Just to make sure I understand this correctly -

Internally I am running the Decad3nce rom. Stable, OC'd etc. I am running HC v4 from sd. I've only been using HC came since it came out.

If I follow these instructions, I will erase the dacad3ne ron, still have root access, and HC will be installed on my internal memory. I will have su rights so I can finally get HC apps and settings back upi via Titanium, etc.

So, in theory, should the next version of HC come out, I can still test that and run it from the sd card. Right?

The only thing that concerns me is that I'd have no stock-rooted rom. I don't know why it concerns me, just for comfort level I suppose. I bought this as a gadget, tablet/reader to test things out on, so I'm not really depending on stock and I can get back to it fairly easily from what I understand.

(ps, which CWR zip do we need to get? the one I highlighted in red? Or the Root Pack

Downloads:

Download the RootPack here: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/cl...1gb-0.5.tar.gz

or download JUST the bootable Clockwork SD image here: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/cl...1gb-0.4.tar.gz

Here's a bootable Clockwork SD here, but it's for cards 128mb and larger: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/cl...m_128mb.tar.gz)

As always, you all ROCK
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
Factory reset is from the boot partition, to do a factory reset you must reflash mmcblk0p1 (i'm assuming its overridden, you may not even need to do this) which has been posted in the forums before

To get the SD card to mount correctly it MUST be inserted BEFORE you turn the Nook Color on. (At least from my tests that is)

The status bar is something new in Honeycomb (hint, turn your NC into landscape mode and click the bottom right to view it correctly). It seems like you've got a phantom touch for one reason or another.

I've yet to get it installed myself, not that I tried very hard.

The UI changes can still be used with other launchers. It seems the biggest UI change for launchers is the new styles of widgets, which are compatible with older launchers (i.e. the new mail app, and those weird stacks with youtube shown in the videos)

I've yet to get it to mount after having loaded honeycomb. If you put it into your NookColor, then reset your NookColor (i.e. power off and back on) it should be mounted correctly. Anytime you wish to take the SD card out it seems you must reboot to have it remount
[Nook Color Android Development] blackderbyhat:
stopping framework + clearing cache on the market isn't working for me. Neither is google talk authentication, I got an error for it and I wasn't even trying to use it.

I somehow got to install advanced task killer from the market before it stopped working for me which is odd.

edit:

tried ADB pushing over the Gapps and im' still getting the same problem.

I've also gotten the same glitch the other poster was talking about with the notification bar. In the my apps section of the market sometimes the notification bar will randomly double in size for no apparent reason.

edit 2:

Tried it again and rebooted and the market's working
[Nook Color Android Development] superman_legendary:
Thank you

Man this is working perfect. All I did was flash the hc zip then all the gapps & market zips, rebooted and everything working right off the bat. No market problems or anything. HC is so sexy especially the keyboard. Cant Thank You enough.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:

Edit: okm now won't boot past "Loading..." Gonna revert to stock and try again :D I love this thing!

[Nook Color Android Development] ZeroSX:
Portrait mode seems to be a known problem in HC builds.

As for root explorer, I have no idea, sorry.
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
thecubed "IOMonster" rootpack sd is the tried and true method of flashing the nook. ALL PROPS to IOMonster, and to koush http://www.koushikdutta.com/ for giving us the bootable recovery to begin with, with out him this would in no way be where its at now so quickly

[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Just move it to the sd card on a computer.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
1) use an image burner such as win32image

2) you will have rooted Honeycomb in place of the default rom

3) the media partition remains at 5GB, just like stock. However, also like stock the data partition (where user added programs install) is only about 1GB
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
Okay awesome feedback. One last question, maybe three:

4) I'm assuming I can go back to stock without any trace, right?

5) Is there an option to load the nook interface with HC? My wife likes the nook the way it is, but I want to be able to mess around the HC side.

6) How about if I can keep NC the way it is, but have access to market to install apps?

Thanks man..
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Internal 5Gb for /media is not being seen by my NC. I believe I saw something about this in the 1st ed. post so I will check there. From what I remember, seemed like it was a bit of a messy workaround to get it seen by apps (like MiuiMusic and Nook Reader). Would be great to have the 5Gb be usable. If I have missed something on this, please let me know.

Also, for the first time on either 1st or 2nd edition, my home softkey and 'n' hardware button are not working, as others have professed. I will try the fix documented by fzr-r4 back at post #568. Oddly enough, this stopped working after I did the manual install of the new CWR 3.0.1.0 with kernel.

On a good note, this is the first time I was able to successfully boot into recovery (using Sam's built-in utility). Felt great to do a full back-up without having to use the bootable SD. :)

EDIT: Mad props to fzr-r4 for the "home and 'n' button not working" fix. Not sure how you found this fix, but very, very much appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
4) yes, There are a few restore images floating around here for both 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 that work flawlessly. Simply flash via CWR.

5) Dual boot. And the nice thing is there are now flashable dual boot setups, see the appropriate thread

6) A simple root will take care of this. I recommend thecubed's Monster Rootpack. Rooted stock is the most stable platform atm anyway.
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
4) yes you can but B&N doesnt really check if the nook is rooted but if you want to exchange it out just format your /boot, /data, and /system and go to the store and tell them it doesnt turn on after you turned it off, i did that today because after 2 weeks of having my nook i started having hardware problems and i got it exchanged in like 15-20 mins(the B&N store clerks have to call customer support)

5) you could setup a dualboot using rookies method for dualbooting

you can keep the nook stock for your wife and when you use it you can use honeycomb

6) if you use autonooter to root your nook you will have access to the android market
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:

Love this ROM, thank you so much!

One small problem I've run into is with the Kindle app, when I click the menu button and then the GO TO button, it doesn't do anything. I use that every day to sync between non-Amazon books on my Nook and my iPod Touch. Any thoughts?

The Kindle app works perfectly for me. I do not see a Go To button, is it in the settings somewhere?

Does setcpu work for overclocking in this rom? Its a little sluggish compared to nookie froyo
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
Thanks guys appreciate your feedback. Much helpfull. I'm going to try just rooting right now and see how that goes. I just want access to market and be able to download Kindle app and other goodies. Will I still have the Nook interface with rooting though or will rooting kill the nook interface?
[Nook Color Android Development] johnny15:
A simple root will leave you with the stock NC interface and give you access to the market to load additional apps.

You'll want to add a launcher (ADW & Zeam are popular) to make it more like a tablet (for when you're using it). This is how I still have mine setup as I like the nookbooks for kids.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
I noticed a big drop in performance with using SetCPU when comparing Quadrant scores. I like the idea of using Profiles to save on battery, but the performance hit was enough for me that I just live with the fact that I have to charge my NC more often.
[Nook Color Android Development] rockstarsomeday:
My home screen buttons were not working either (N or the soft button). I tried replacing the settings.db file using root explorer, rebooted and my device won't boot, the android screen bootloops. I'm guessing I needed to set permissions or something on that file before rebooting?
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
I did not set the permissions, but I used ADB. That shouldn't make a difference, I don't believe.
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
as mentioned above, try adb. i actually used android commander, but same effect.
[Nook Color Android Development] rockstarsomeday:
Yea I made the mistake of making the file change without backing up first (doh!), so I'm back to using phiremod/gingerbread at the moment. I made a backup *afterwards*, but that really doesn't help much, and I can't think of a way to get to that settings.db file now that it doesn't boot.

I'll probably just rebuild HC this weekend again, it's not too painful. Installing all my apps is what takes all the time.
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
i pulled my /data folder, then pushed it all back (minus the settings.db file) and all apps and most of my settings were there again after a reboot.

you also could try embedding your /data folder as a .tar inside of sam's .zip file, but i couldn't get it to flash that way.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
The kernel is what gets overclocked, and this package already includes a kernel running at 1100mhz.

It is sluggish because it is an sdk port. Wait for aosp.
