I have a brand new Nook Color and want to try this ROM. Can you please help with following questions

I see that emmc is being formatted to ext4. If I need to switch to another ROM what do I need to do? Just want to be aware of rollback plan before I jump in :)

How does this compare to Froyo 0.6.8 in terms of stability. Anything that does not work well in this ROM?

Is anyone having issues with Wifi all of a sudden? Just this morning, I lost wifi capabilities. I rebooted several times, reset wifi, turned on/off, etc. Nothing.

help please! Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] EhudBenjamin:
There are re-partition instructions, fairly simple process. Do a search.

What doesn't work, see first post.
[Nook Color Android Development] EhudBenjamin:
Previous posts say remove all remembered connections and try again.

Anyone having boot loop issues with V4? I flashed per the OP instructions and everything went smooth. Restarted last night with no issues. This morning at work I was tethering to my phone and then stopped for a bit. Went back to connect again and was having the wifi issue of not being able to connect. So I restarted and am now in a boot loop on the honeycomb screen. Any ideas? I'm sure that I can reflash but I'll have to wait until I get off work.....

Anything other than bluetooth, YouTube that does not work?
[Nook Color Android Development] SamdungSpambot:
I think I've done the whole 9 yards now..

I went from 1.1.0 stock to autonooter, to 0.68 froyo, to phiremod, to honeycomb v4.

To restore I used the cwr 3.0.0.5

Did the usual formats

Flaashed Removed cwr.zip

Flashed repartition.zip

Then restored to 1.1.0 or a NAND backup if you have

From there I created the froyo image again and I'm using that for now but might want to go back to phiremod...

Not sure yet just wanted to go through all the motions
[Nook Color Android Development] cnewsgrp:
May I ask which did you like most?

0.6.8 froyo

Phiremod

HC
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
Cool, thanks. That worked. I should note that I'd tried removing only a few of the remembered networks. It's important to remove ALL of them. For whatever reason, this seems to reset wifi.
[Nook Color Android Development] daugh016:
Does V4 still support ext4 or it is only ext3?

The new recovery (3.0.0.8) was just released so ext4 should be possible now.

Thanks ahead of time.

Does anyone have issues getting the SD card to mount in v8? I downloaded easeus partition manager and formatted it to ext3, and it still won't mount the SD card. I already made the mistake of hitting format SD card from within Phiremod (which led to a formatted boot partition). Am I doing something wrong? It would be really nice to load up some wallpapers and be able to store stuff to an SD card.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Long time member first time poster due to finding most answers through search, except this time. This one has me stumped.

So I rooted my NC, played with nookie froyo, then came to phiremod yesterday. Last night my NC was running low on juice, so I turned it off and plugged in the charger. This morning though.... nothing. No power, no signs of life. Tried holding power for 1 min, nothing, hard reset, nothing. Pulled the SD card, plugged in the charger, plugged it into computer, trying different forms of power/reset I could think of. Still nothing. Tried everything short if taking apart and remove battery.

Purchased it two days ago so I did an exchange at wally world for new one. (Did you know there us no serial number on the outside of the NC? Thought about what one could do to get a new one if they was out of return window.)

Anyways, before I take this one to phiremod again, any thoughts or suggestions that may have caused this?

Thanks. Awesome ROM btw. I def want it back up and running. Love CM on my Evo.

Sounds like your boot partition is corrupt. Check this post to fix it : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
I know you were askin someone else but I've run all 3 and here are my thoughts. I really like Phiremod the best. It is running fast and smooth but has 1 major issue and that is the issue with videos. This has me on the verge of going back to 0.6.8 Froyo but, the main thing I love about Phiremod is the back/menu buttons in the taskbar. That is keeping me from making the switch. HC was fun to play with but too many apps just don't work yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
I love this version also, but as I show people the nook, even though everything else is pretty damn good/fast they complain the videos dont work at all. I'm holding out hoping each day, a new build will resolve this because i truely like this version. Im even trying difffernet CPU speeds to see how it effects the battery life or can make it last longer .
[Nook Color Android Development] pjdj:
A similar thing happened to me today. I left my nook sitting on my night stand - on and went to work, but when I came home, it was stuck on the Touch the Future of Reading screen. Tried to charge it, turn it off/on, but nothing worked. I'm going to reflash it now.

Anyone else run into this issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] pjdj:
Just to follow up on this, I ran CWR and selected "Fix Permissions" and that got me back up and running. Didn't have to format anything! Still wish I knew what caused this in the first place, but try that first if you run into the same issue!
[Nook Color Android Development] etsmith3:
The problem was I could not get anything out of it, screen would not turn on. I'm wondering though that if you plug in the power cord with a stock NC off it turns on. I wonder if by me turning it off, with this rom, and plugging it in, some how got screwed up?

Just trying to see what may have caused my NC to not turn on or have any signs of life. Possibly just a bad egg, just wanting to see if having the device off, plugging in the power cord, and charging overnight has caused anyone else a problem. Or has anyone had an issue of not being able to power their device up, not getting stuck on N screen, I mean nothing like there was now power getting to device.

Did you visit the link??

"The Fatal Black Screen:

This is the issue where your Nook "refuses to boot up" usually after running Froyo (or possibly HC) off of your internal memory. This is usually caused by, but is not limited too, formatting your sdcard from within Froyo (or versions of HC prior to the flashable zip).

99.99% of the time, this does not mean your Nook is bricked in any way, what simply happened is your boot partition has become corrupted. For you newbies out there, the boot partition is what allows your Nook Color to turn on. The boot partition contains the instructions for what your Nook Color needs to do in order to start up and run."

More than likely your NC is not dead. When the boot partition gets corrupt it will not turn on, hence the Fatal Black Screen. Try making a recovery boot SD card...
[Nook Color Android Development] etsmith3:
Yeah I had nookie froyo SD card handy tried that, tried using the CWM SD card, nadda. Must have just been a bad egg. I will test with this new one, if it happens again I will see if I can keep accurate account of all steps to cause it.

Thanks for the link and your help.

No problem. Good luck! I had the same thing happen to mine where it wouldn't turn on and that fixed it right up. Thought I was gonna have to return mine too.

I am using nookie-froyo 0.6.8 with this theme, which comes with softkeys on the status bar. It worked great.
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
OK, I'm pretty exasperated at this point. I can no longer get the Market apps to show as downloaded. It says "No downloads from Android Market."

I've already cleared cache on the Market app and cleared data on Google Services framework. Rebooted. I've done this at least 5 times. Still no apps.

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] xBryan:
if your talking about your paid apps or your "my apps" tab then its a bug, it has been posted a few times in this thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
EDIT:

OK, I think I may have found 1 or 2 fixes or reasons why my Market apps didn't show up.

1. I set the resolution via LCD changer to 220. I saw something about that someplace as well, although I thought I'd already fixed that the last time before trying the Market.

2. The other thing is that I was never waiting for the Market to fully load when I opened it. I was always rushing right to "My Apps." This time, I waited until the Market loaded completed, THEN I switched to My Apps. BINGO. It worked.

I'm not sure if it's #1 or #2 or a combo of the two or something else entirely.

0.6.8 froyo

Phiremod

HC

I've run all 3 on internal eMMC, and find Phiremod to be the best all-around ROM of the 3. HC is fun, but too many things don't work as expected and I have had major issues with the wifi. Nookie Froyo was good to get my feet wet, but wasn't as well optimized as Phiremod.

Just replaced the fonts thanks to an earlier poster, running slick as hell now! Just miss the youtubes.

Market wont download after v4 update.

Is it just me or this rom use a lot of battery on idle? It take 1% an hour when WiFi is off. I think my phone use less with wifi and radio on.
[Nook Color Android Development] Artood2s:
It's because the Nook never really goes to sleep in CM7. It's a known issue and hopefully it will be resolved in the future. Also, you can try to reset the battery stats in CWM. Before I was getting to under 20% after a normal days use. Now it is somewhere around 40-50%. Seems like the battery reporting goes a little wonky after flashing the Gingerbread.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
I been searching the forum now and still can't find any answer to my question. Please any advise at all would be much appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Well did you take the sdcard out after the install ? If you leave it in then it will boot to recovery every time. IF you you have the card out and you get a black screen now, then you have a messed up boot partition. I would try to re-flash phiremod, follow the instructions to a "T" .... if all else fails then revert back to stock and start all over. You will be fine.

Good luck !

Loving it, but...

Installed V4 last night and so far I'm loving it.

Market wouldn't show My Apps, and nothing seemed to fix it (clearing cache/data, changing LCDdensity).

I had a titanium backup version of the market from when I was running NookieFroyo 0.6.8 and restored that version (2.3.4, not sure what version is in V4) of market and everything is really smooth now (except for the nook not showing up on market.android.com). **EDIT** did not survive several reboots.

A second problem I just noticed and its been mentioned on here back on V3. Internal storage is only 1 gb. where's my other 7? I flashed over using a 2gb SD card. Others have mentioned the same problem when using a 1 gb and 8 gb card. Anyway anyone can look into this?
[Nook Color Android Development] nee_vak:
Is it just me or is 'LCD Density Changer' settings not sticking after a soft-reset?

Anyone find a way to make LCD Density settings stick?
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
I do a "save" on my choice of setting. It usually sticks upon soft reset. It never does after hard reset or after using CWR and then back again. The saved setting helps you restore it faster. I use the app "launch after boot" to fire up the app so it's easily accessible after any kind of reboot.

Silly question, but did you guys try extending the 4th partition all the way to the end in Easeus Partition Master?
[Nook Color Android Development] saundsr:
Thanks for the response...

this is internal storage so a partition manager wouldn't be able to edit it. or am I completely off base?

The CMW image you choose (1 gb, 2gb, 4 gb, 8gb) would be partitioned correctly I would imagine, what difference would there be otherwise?

Unless I'm just being stupid?

Possible Market fix

Hey guys,

I don't know about you, but I've had nothing but issues with the Market either showing absolutely NONE of my downloaded apps, or showing them but only the purchased ones and not as installed. I played with screen density sizes, etc. NOTHING has worked from anything found in this forum...until now.

This worked for me. I searched for an older version of the Market and found this one via Android Police. At first when I installed, the UI looked all weird, but then it just reset itself and looked normal again. The most important part is that ALL of of my apps (purchased and free) are now showing as "installed." I hope it continues!

Let me know if this works or doesn't work for anybody. Here's a link to my dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4004334/com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Please let us know if they are there after a couple of reboots. That is the real test.
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
Here's the scoop: I did a full reboot for a third time. The Market showed my apps, but not as installed--just as "purchased." So I reinstalled the market.apk, rebooted, and VOILA. All installed again. It's a temporary fix, but at least we'll be able to update our apps correctly.
