Calendar updates

I just applied the calendar updates, and they seem to work great. Both with my google account, and with my corporate exchange account, syncing via ActiveSync.

This was really the one major thing missing for me. Thank you everyone for all the hard work!
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
+1...would love this!
[Nook Color Android Development] openallnight:
This is awsome. seems to be working great. 1650 quadrant score.

I have noticed though that my PC cannot load the Nook as a drive anymore. I can access using ADB (both cabled and wireless) but cannot see the harddrive or sdcard on the PC. SD Card is mounting just fine in HC.

Is this a known issue and is there a solution?
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
Saw some people asking earlier in this thread about su and Superuser. There is a fixed su that works perfectly with Superuser here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953110

If you have time in your next release could you include this version of the su and superuser.apk into the rom SAM? Thanks.

So I tried to do the calendar fix and it gets stuck at the android with the flashing cursor on reboot. I am doing the following via ADB

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
adb push CalendarProvider.apk /system/app
adb push Calendar.apk /system/app
adb push GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
adb push framework.jar /system/framework
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/Calendar.apk
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
adb reboot

I have tried this multiple times and get the same result. What am I doing wrong?
[Nook Color Android Development] xdadidida:
So I was able to access adb again by booting up to the external and then and then mounting system and data from the internal from the external. Then wiping dalvik and cache, then booting. Then I get adb with the proper serial, which lasts until I reboot and I have to repeat the process to get adb again.

When I get a chance, I'll go through the logcat and figure out what's screwing stuff up.

So that's a worthwhile workaround for people to remember. If you can't get adb, first off means root is prob. not setup right, but second if you have a microSD up and running, you can mount system and data manually, then shutdown, pull the card, put in CWM SD card, wipe cache+dalvik, shutdown again, reboot with no sd card and you should be able to access adb (assuming you can with a known good install on a SD card in the first place).

The gapps that come with this build work well, my problem stems from the fact that I was trying to get weather channel working again under HC (either would fail to install due to missing libraries (maps framework jar), or else crash out. I had just added another one of the other location services or some such that caused it to tank.

I'm sure it's in the logcat. Will post back which one caused the bootloop (it's not the robot screen it gets stuck on but the silver text android) once I have time to deal with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
There isn't a UMS utility on HC as of right now. But you can use my NC UMS utillity available in dev forum. But it's still in beta and needs some work, for which I haven't found time yet...

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
You don't mention if you already have gapps on your NC, and which version of gapps if you do. Try pushing gb-gapps from cyanogen's wiki. Wipe dalvik cache if you still can't boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] xdadidida:
If you're on the internal rom, make sure you're mounting the right partitions. 1p2 is on the microsd card. 0p5 is /system and 0p6 is /data on the emmc
[Nook Color Android Development] xjrick:
This is probably it, I missed that. Trying it now. Thanks!

Sam, I am running the CM Gapps. I will post back after I flash my recovery and get it running again so I can try this. Thanks for the help!
[Nook Color Android Development] shadowreader:
how much internal memory should I see?

My NC with the flashable internal honeycomb only shows .92gb total space on internal drive. doesn't this device have 8gb internal? The OS doesn't take up that much does it?
[Nook Color Android Development] jaysckap:
Thanks works perfect
[Nook Color Android Development] xjrick:
Still no good on Calendar. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I changed my mount to internal and flashed CM's gb-apps

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push CalendarProvider.apk /system/app
adb push Calendar.apk /system/app
adb push GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
adb push framework.jar /system/framework
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/Calendar.apk
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
adb reboot

grrrr. I friggin love this ROM, but I gotta have my calendar. I have 2 different Exchange calendars and google cal. Any other thoughts? Thanks for all the help so far. I am out of ideas.
[Nook Color Android Development] xdadidida:
Aight, I found the culprit that was locking my system. It was an old NetworkLocation.apk from an older Nook OS that I'd added in the process of trying to get latest Weather Channel app to stop crashing on going into the map mode (maps app itself works).

Time to fix root so I can get adb again without that crazy workaround or wireless, then see if I can get this working. It used to work in stock and 1.1 so I really hope I can get it working under 3.0

Also, I too only see ~900mb or so and don't see the media partition. Is it just a matter of setting up proper mount points to get the rest of the internal displayed?
[Nook Color Android Development] xjrick:
Ok, so I tried pushing everything in the OP for the calendar one at a time and rebooting between pushes to see what was killing me. There is something in the framework.jar file that my nook doesnt like at all, but I am javatarded so I couldnt even begin to know what it is. Thoughts?

Hi,

Where do I find the UMS utility

thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
I would like to check this out, but need some clarification before doing so:

First, when I go into Storage and review the figures for my Internal Storage, I see the following:

- Total Space = 0.92Gb

- Media Usage = 12.15Gb

- Application Usage = 375Mb

- Available Space = 545Mb

Second, does the calculations for "Media" and "Application" Usage take into account both my SD card storage and also the Internal Storage? I am assuming this to be the case since the internal storage is not even 12Gb. Just the placement of the figures on the screen isn't very intuitive.

Lastly, is there more space on the internal that I should be seeing? Be able to use? I have a 16Gb SD card in it right now and if I could liberate more space on the Internal, then heck yeah, I will follow your instructions. Just wasn't sure what I was getting with that and wanted a bit more clarification.

Thanks!

Is is possible that Google itself is blocking the Youtube App?. I have been able to play a couple of videos by checking and unchecking the HQ setting. But I have the feeling that the download is being stop from the server. Also it would be great if we could hide the UI bar in the bottom, I was able to do it by reinstalling the SystemUI app but it shows up again whe I restart the Nook. But when the UI bar is hidden it is perfect to play Gameloft games like Hero of Sparta, Dungeon Defenders, Nova, etc. Also, why is it possible for Angry Birds to play in full screen and not the Gameloft applications? Any Way I could tweak the gameloft apps to play in full Screen?. Well so far the HC rom is my only driver now, have sucessfully bricked my Nook about 10 times and then just reflash. can't wait for an updated version.
[Nook Color Android Development] xeonzen:
The nook color comes with a 5gb internal memory card when you buy it . Once you install honeycomb on the nook color, the 5gb internal memory is accessible under the folder /media by default but It will not show under the storage menu in settings. Even though the internal memory is accessible, most programs such as the music player, video players, ebook readers, etc will only read data off of the sdcard. By following the steps I listed, I was able to work around this.

--xeonzen
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Note: this has been discussed many times. The nook has an internal eMMC of 8GB and the media partition has been set to 5GB. This can always be changed, by repartitioning internal eMMC.

Symlinking /media in sdcard isn't a bad idea. I'll probably do that in my next release.

I've read somewhere that people were having problems with GTalk. I never took the time to say the following. GTalk issues generally happen when date and time settings aren't correctly set. Make sure your date/time settings are absolutely perfect. Then Force stop Talk, and launch it again. You can also deleted Talk's cache if you still can't get it to sign in.

Sam
[Nook Color Android Development] xeonzen:
I figured it was discussed before but I didn't see anything on how to get programs to scan it for data, thats why I posted what i did to work around it.

Also, I tried to symlink /media initially and it wouldn't work, it kept giving me an error message thats why I used the mount command to do it.

Exchange calendar syncing but not all entries

For those of you who have performed Samuel's updated calendar sync fix are you guys seeing all of your calendar entries when syncing with your exchange server accounts? Mine shows certain entries but not others. I can't figure out any pattern to the ones that are showing up and the ones that aren't but suffice it to say that a lot of my exchange calendar appointments aren't syncing. I tried wiping the data in settings/manage applications and turned on and off calendar syncing. the syncing appears to be working without errors but with missing appointments. Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Nevermind, I reinstalled the account and all is good. Sorry.
[Nook Color Android Development] long2know:
How is repartitioning accomplished? I would love to be able to just allocate that 5GB to /data since it's not usable for much else. On my EVO, I used the CustomMTD mod to repartition, but I've never really looked at its internal workings.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
I DO NOT AT ALL recommend what follows! Really, I mean this! This is just for people to know it's possible.... If you choose to try, it's your responsibility all the way..

If you want repartition using a GUI:

For this I would use gparted (disk utility). Either use it on windows, or boot to ubuntu live cd..

- First with ADB:

- Boot with a bootable CWR. Once booted:

- use: fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 -l and copy that layout somewhere

- then: echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

- The last command will mount your entire internal 8gb partition to your PC

Open Gparted:

- Select the 8GB drive (top right)

- Unmount all partitions. Then create a new partition table.

- Reproduce the layout you saved above, but change data size to whatever. This means respecting partition order, type (ext2, fat32, etc.) labels and size. Ultimately, this means media (last partition) will be smaller. You could, for example, create a 2GB data partition and as a result have a ~4 GB media..

- WARNING: every time you create a partition, make sure you choose round to cylinder and not MB, PLUS make sure you always leave a 1MB as preceding space, except for first partition (boot). If you don't follow this last recommendation, you'll end up with partitions writing over one another = corrupting partitions... Always leave a 1MB free space preceding..

- The 4th partition is extended, no label, using all remaining space. Then create following partitions over it.

- Finish by applying settings.

After that you can flash any rom to your nook to get it to boot again.. Your internal memory should have grown accordingly..

If you want to use command line partitioning, use fidsk/parted. Google it.

Again, if you attempt any of this, keep in mind you're playing around with the internal memory. IF anything goes wrong, you'll be left with sdcard booting only.

My advice is to wait for someone to make a script. It really would be wise to wait...

If you do try (but don't!), data and cache can have ext4 fs type..

And take time to check each step.. Instead of having to go through the process twice..

Anybody have any luck getting Google Voice to work? I get a force close during the setup. I saw it in the nookdevs apps wiki but I just wanted to ask.

I have fallen in love with Honeycomb even with the preview release issues (it works amazingly well) and I don't really want to go back to Froyo but Google voice is not negotiable for me because I use it for text messaging (my phone does not get used much anymore except to tether my NC).
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
i am also wondering the same thing although it isnt a real dealbreaker for me because the google voice site works fine using the browser
[Nook Color Android Development] richdaley:
Good point. I hadn't thought of that. I think it will get me by until we get an official release.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
With the time at hand, I've only got calendar and sdcard format working..

I also found a workaround for locations.. But it's not pretty..

Without source code.. fixes aren't easy to find..

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk really neccesary?

Sam,

Any idea why I have calendar/email sync to gmail and exchange working perfectly even thought I haven't pushed GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk ?

I pushed the other two apk's and the framework from the instructions a few days ago, sync has worked since. Just noticed the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk today.

[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
Maybe Sam or some of the experienced developers could tell me if it's possible for me to backup my current HC apps in /media and try the new CM7. Or will it erased that partition also?. Or even better, if it's possible for me to dual boot up. CM7 sounds interesting, but when HC if finnally released I don't see the point on running Gingerbread.
[Nook Color Android Development] richdaley:
I have been having trouble getting Angry Birds and Angry Birds seasons to install both from the market and from sd. I get a message that says installation unsuccessful.

Also, is it possible to mount the SD card directly in the nook (get the screen that allows me to copy files to and from the device)? I may just be missing the place where I can do it within the UI. My PC makes the sound to let me know that something was connected. I have not tried adb since I installed tonight. I have been just pulling the sd card and putting it in my computer. I thought I remember someone saying it had to do with the format of the sd card but I can't find the post.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
Post No. 166 by Samuelhalf will answer your question about Angry Birds and many other applications.

I read you should not format your sdcard in the Nook. I formatted mine in my cheap LG MetroPCS phone then inserted on the Nook and Voila 8GB of storage in which I later installed most applications and download torrents. To see the card available space and mount go to Settings and then Storage. I have seen a lot a posts with this problem. You should just format your sd Outside the Nook and then inserte it.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
The sync adapter was for added gapps version compatibility. If your using the other two files then that's enough..

Regarding other questions, you can use my USB mass storage utility.

To make a backup of your customized HC, use utility to mount internal data and system, make tar files of both contents, call them data.tar and system.tar. Then replace system.tar and data.tar found in my flashable HC zip (in /tmp) with yours. Don't extract zip, replace directly into zip file.

Then, if you flash the new zip containing your system/data tars, you'll restore your current version..

Note: system in utility is called settings. My mistake..

Hope this was clear enough..

I think you mean post #161? I personally have tried all of the different cache and data clear suggestions, rebooting, even editing the build.prop to "spoof" a Nexus One, and I still can't access all apps on the market, plus some like Angry Birds Seasons give a cannot install error after downloading or when attempting to install from the SD card. Is there something I'm missing here?
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
well i didnt spoof my market so i have some apps missing but i fixed the apps not installing by fixing permissions on new_msdos(located in /system/bin) and by clearing cache on market and clearing data on googleframeworkservice than rebooting
[Nook Color Android Development] HyoImowano:
I hadn't seen anything about fixing permissions, did you do this through CWR? Is there an app for changing file permissions on the device? What did you change the permissions to? You've certainly given me new hope for this.

EDIT: I accidentally unmounted my SD card without realising it, now everything installs fine. Still missing a lot from the market place, but no biggie.

@Sam,

I am getting the xoom on thursday if you want I will extract the official rom for you and upload it for you to play with. Of course I am hoping that motorola hasn't locked this puppy down. I am still keeping my nook color as you guys have made this thing truly awesome.
[Nook Color Android Development] moonpie28:
Great however remember you are dealing with Motorola. They don't have a stellar record of openness on their phones lately.
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
I agree that is why I am hoping they haven't messed w/ this one. Since it is a google experience device maybe they left it alone.

The Motorola Atrix is already rooted and it is not even released yet so this coud be a good sign as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] pasqualebambino:
Can anyone make a flashable zip with everything including the calendar fix? Not too good with adb...
[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
Having root and having full hackability are two very different things. Just look at the nook color and the original motorola droid. (I use them because i own both) the original droid can have full root and hack/kernal upgradeablility within 10 minutes with little to no risk. Both devices have fantastic developer support due in large to how simple and mainstream it is to hack and use. The nook has, nookie froyo, hc, ultimate droid 3.01, cm7, and stock modded eclair support. The droid 1 has 1st support almost from every multiplatform roms. Look at the EVO, Incredible, N1... all are devices that root and rom fairly simplily and most started with android 2.1 and now have ports of HC.

On the other hand look at the fascinate, galaxy tab, (galaxy in general) droid 2, droid x..... all are devices that you can root, but are difficult to rom and buikd fully supported roms for.

The atrix, i believe, is going to be a non modable device. In my opinion rom builders are not going to want to bother making roms to support or go around things like the laptop thing, the finger print reader...... people are going to want a rom that either fully supports those features or stick with the stocker + root to use tibu and other root apps. I think support will be low for that phone and future motorola devices.

As for the ZOOM theres only three things im looking forward to. 1: system dump/asop release from google, 2: apps like youtube, gmail, and that movie one, 3: market apps with full 3.0 support and built for it.

Personally i say, fat chance for full support for hacking with the zoom.. motorolas baby is not going to come out unlocked

[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
i completely agree with this except for the xoom hack ability, because tablets and phones are 2 different things i think motorola is going to unlock their tablets but keep their phones locked down

my reasoning for this because tablets are like computers and an average consumer will not buy a computer that is locked down, heck even macs are open in that aspect

if motorola locks down this tablet that will mark the death of their company officially but thats just my $0.02
[Nook Color Android Development] starkruzr:
So. I pop this into my CWMR SD. I format system, data, and boot -- formatting boot causes CWMR to freeze every time, is this normal? I reboot after the freeze and flash HC. No gapps, no custom kernel. Reboot again. I get the ANDROID with the flashing cursor... and go nowhere. Every time.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
did you wipe data and cache?

if you did, dont do that and just flash as is
[Nook Color Android Development] starkruzr:
As what is? In what state is it supposed to be? The instructions state to wipe and format everything, then flash the HC zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
Make sure the internal partitions are unmounted. For some odd reason after wiping boot and restarting cwr my system mounted itself

[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
I see the reasoning behind that, but i personally dont expect much from the zoom in the way of unlocking. Essentially the zoom is a gigantic atrix, and from what ive heard the atrix boot is encrypted similar to the dx and d2. Maybe they could go for a Droid1 redo with the zoom and make it just awesome....... then make future models suck :-)
