[Nook Color Android Development] Reliablesand:
Flashed this but market doesn't work. I cleared system, data and cache and flashed, booted up, and got the screen to choose launcher. Choosed adw, system hung for a second, got a message saying adw not responded but waited it out, loaded five seconds later and seemed all right, tapped market app and nothing. Tried to tap from app tray and nothing. Try to tap through launcher pro and app not listed in drawer. Reflash again this time wiping only system and data, reflash and retry, same thing. Try a third wipe of system, data, and cache, flash, reboot, and same issue. I rebooted once and market icon on home screen was default android app icon (not market icon) check app drawer and it is not there. Check under manage icons, market is listed but not running, only choice is to move to sd which obviously doesn't work.

....am I missing something :)
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Yeah I think you are missing the market.

heh. This isn't normal behavior. Recommend reinstalling.
[Nook Color Android Development] ajd88:
I had the same problem with no market. I just rebooted and it magically appeared.

Any idea if VPN will be fixed? It currently does not work for PPTP connections

Installed - working great except can not activate BT. Any suggestions?

I have just realised that V 5.2 and original Nook Color firmware' dsp folders different...

Also phiremod nook V5.2 cannot play NC's welcome video (welcome_video.mp4)

I uploaded the video to mediafire. I extracted it from Sideload_update.zip from Nook Color offical web site . If you have offical latest update you can test welcome video .

Here is the place the video from sideload_update.zip :

Sideload_update.zip\system\media\videos

or you can download the only movie itself from this link :

http://www.mediafire.com/file/s5ka0xkdnsf4ajo/welcome_video.mp4

I hope developers and other user can explain and may solve video playback problem...

Thanks in advance.

People please check the threat before posting questions... I answered this question already on page 107!

But here

Re-posting: I think if you run permissions, your bluetooth will work again.

Good luck using BT. :cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
I got v5.2 running great, but one odd thing is happening.

When I turn the device on, the micro SD is not already mounted and it seems to take a long time to do it. I never used to notice it doing this before. I noticed the problem since my widgets weren't loading properly. I think they were relying on data from the sd card. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It definitely froze my system completely at least a couple times, I think. Like, no screen response, had to hard boot.

I'd say the card got corrupted, but that seems unlikely since it still mounts and I have no problems accessing data, games, comics, etc.

Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] archat68:
BT working just after a few reboot!!
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
So you didn't fix permissions and just rebooted several times?
[Nook Color Android Development] electrikjesus:
I prefer Launcher Pro over ADW Launcher EX. And now with the gmail widget it is my daily launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
RC4 is out... V6.0 maybe? Hardware acceleration included! May have to buy SPB Shell 3d launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] archat68:
Yes! I switched on and off in the process of using it throughout the day (nothing intentional) and just tried to start the BT a few hour ago and voila!! it is working !!
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Bluetooth works fine for me, though the practical applications elude me. I fixed permissions and rebooted normally and it was fine.

Seriously, though, does everyone else's micro sd start off mounted or do you generally have to wait a few seconds after unlocking? This is maddening.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobster0001:
I'm experiencing problems with download/updating apps in market. Anyone know the solution to it?
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
The first time I had Phiremod installed, I restarted a couple times and the market worked just fine. Other than that, you might need to start from scratch and make sure you wipe everything first.

Market Problem

I've researched my issue and now must post here due to not being able to find a solution in the forums.

Problem: I flashed Phiremod 5.1 when it became available several weeks ago. I used the market to download and/or purchase 10-12 apps. Then, using Titanium Backup I restored the remainder of my apps from my previous ROM, an Android 2.2 ROM. I flashed Phiremod 5.2 earlier this week when it became available. Love the ROM and basically have no issues with anything except the Market. My market only shows or recognizes apps that I have purchased or downloaded since I flashed and began using Phiremod 5.1, and now 5.2. It does not recognize the remainder of my apps that I restored through Titanium Backup or sideloaded with .apk's.

I have tried the solution of Settings/Applications/Manage Apps/All/Market/clear cache and force close, then Market framework/clear data/force close (I'm typing this process by memory, but I followed the exact directions). I then Powered all the way down, and powered up. Market loaded fine, but still only finds my apps I have either purchased or downloaded since I flashed 5.1.

Anybody got any suggestions? I appreciate any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] spyderman33:
That has happened to me on occasion on rooted HD2... Some ROMs allow the Market to recognize the apps that I sideload or restore but some others dont... no idea why...
[Nook Color Android Development] noname4me:
Went through this yesterday... go to settings - apps - manage apps - market, then select uninstall updates. After a reboot, all of my apps showed up correctly.
[Nook Color Android Development] stwallman:
Does this ROM include the updated changes so that videos will play correctly ?
[Nook Color Android Development] jyams:
Bingo, that worked! I actually had to do it twice, but the second time, all my apps appeared in the market, albeit, most of them were due to be updated. Luckily I am at home with my great wifi connection and updating about 25 apps only took about 10 minutes. Doing my Titanium backup now. Thanks again for responding with the solution.
[Nook Color Android Development] jyams:
Wallpaper files?

to Phiredrop:

Where are the 5.2 Phiremod Wallpaper pictures stored? Found the 5.1 files on the SD card, but can't find the 5.2 pictures. Want to look at them in Astro.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
You'll have to wait for 5.3 for that...
[Nook Color Android Development] Blaggah:
I installed 2 nights ago and everything ran beautifully.. Now this morning my wifi wont connect at all. Any idea why?
[Nook Color Android Development] remora9595:
The Playon app works fairly well if you've tried that. I think it's because your server re-encodes the video to lower bitrate.
[Nook Color Android Development] twiceover:
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I tried several roms and always found some sort of deal breaker in each one. So far 5.2 is nearly everything I could ask. Haven't tested extensively, but seems stable.

I miss having the lockscreen with the dots and can't seem to find the option to turn on PIN code for lockscreen. The gesture works, but I'm always afraid it won't recognize my gesture out of the blue... even something simple. ANyway to get these other lockscreens?
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
Same here on Nook#2, originally just installed over 5.1 ,ended up wiping and starting from fresh on both Nooks and IMHO it runs smoother not bringing anything old to 5.2. Way smoother. @phiremod- you rock sir.
[Nook Color Android Development] mikehe:
just picked up my first nook last night after reading about how nice of the unit they are and i must say for 250.00 the screen is sweet, smooth sliding. then i loaded this rom on there and waiting for family to wake up to see the nook isnt a nook anymore its a nook or roids. thank you for the time and work and look forward to flashing
[Nook Color Android Development] bartonkt:
Where is the option for Phiremod to make me a bowl of cereal in the morning?

I believe it was added in the CM7 nightly a few days ago, and I have waited very patiently for 2 (!) whole days.
[Nook Color Android Development] jyams:
Followed the recommendation to flash this ROM on 100% battery. I did so. While in CWM I wiped the battery stats. Seems like to me I am now getting better battery performance. I take it off my charger at 6:30a when I go to work. Use it moderately all day for various tasks, including reading articles at lunch. It's usually at about 75% at 5pm when I go home. Use in the evening some, and by bedtime, when I put it back on the charger, the battery is usually 50-60%. I'm not a movie watcher, but I do have wifi running all day and use the browser frequently. Watch occasional YouTube videos during the day doing research on different things. So, by 11pm, I've gotten 17+ hours and still have almost 50% battery left. Plus, I'm running it in "performance" mode in performance settings. In other words, I'm pushing hard at 1.1ghz all day. Obviously, I'm very pleased in the battery performance with this ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
WIFI connection lost

I've had similar things happen on 5.1. I had to delete all my wifi connections, then it would scan again and connect. I'm on 5.2 and I had to do that again this morning. I think I will try a clean install.

Great job on 5.2.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
I think those may have been left over from an older release where I included some wallpapers in a folder. In 5.1 and 5.2 I compiled CMWallpapers.apk from source to make "phiremod-walls.apk" so the wallpapers are only in that app - you won't be able to see them from your file browser.

flashed from 5.1 to 5.2 last night.. everything went smooth...

no lost of wifi, market works.. flash works.. didn't have to do anything.

OCed to 1.1 and it's flying!!!

Thanks a bunch!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hi phiremod,

Would you mind it, if I prepped a flashable zip to SD of your ROM for my thread here?

Wanna post this question in the open, so everyone knows if it was cool with you or not to do so.

Thanks for your work,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
I would be honored.
[Nook Color Android Development] Compnetbobby:
Phiremod,

Firstly, 5.2 ridiculous fast, thanks for the excelent work. when do you plan on upgrading the rom to CM7 rc4?

What is hardware acceleration going to do for us?

thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
You sir, rock! :D

Thanks!

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] Neo42:
Im running rc4 right now. Its very fast and YouTube is buttery smooth. Phiremod changes will make my nc nearly perfect. I impatiently wait for 5.3 and hopefully bottom status bar w it
[Nook Color Android Development] jamima69:
simply an outstanding rom, thanks soooo much for all your hard work Phiremod - looking forward greatly to the rc4 integration (assuming you're going to do that, you have done so much already)

i sure hope so though !!
[Nook Color Android Development] eespiritu:
Hey everyone!

I was running phiremod 5.2 and I got curious what would happen if I installed the bottom bar ROM (it's been killing me! :P). So I went into CWR and flashed the mad-murdock's bottom bar ROM, followed by Dalingrin's latest kernel. After restarting, I realized I had to re-install Gapps, since the default CM7 doesn't have it. Here are my observations so far:

Google apps (including the market) work, along with any apps downloaded from it.

AppBrain worked even before installing Gapps back

The cool boot animation is gone and has been replaced by the default animation. Boo.

Live wallpapers still work

Sounds and window animations, and battery icon have gone to CM7 default. SAD PANDA.

The bottom bar (soft buttons on the right) works like a charm, haven't tried to remap the volume buttons

Everything else seems to be working fine, I'm going to test it a little more. I know that Phiredrop cares about stability and that's why he's holding off until the project is completed, but if anyone wanted to take a chance like me, that's what will happen. With CM7 RC4, Dalingrin's fixed video kernel, and the bottom bar mod almost ready to be assimilated into CM7 permanently, these are exciting times and stable is right around the corner. I can see the finish line! Thanks so everyone involved!

Edit:Titanium backup and Nook key editor weren't working. I reinstalled titanium backup, but I keep having to force close it. Hmm...
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
I use to edit/create wallpapers to the *perfect* size for my NC resolution. Then I would just name them wall_01.png wall_02.png ect...... Then I would push them over to /system/media/wallpapers via adb, like this:

adb shell

# mount -o remount rw /system

# exit

adb push whateverimage.png /system/media/wallpapers

adb reboot

This way they would actually be on the nook and would not resize when using them as wallpapers. Anyway .... I notice now that there is no longer a /system/media/wallpapers folder ? Is this something that CM7 has done or is it from phireMod ?

Any thoughts ?

[Nook Color Android Development] Ev3rM0r3:
When i got to install, i wipe root/data/system, well i click install zip from sd like i always do. It takes about 5 seconds and says finding update package... opening update package... installing update... install complete.. all under 10 seconds.

Can anyone help me? Im using v3.0.0.5 of cwr mod on sdcard and the last download of phiremod
[Nook Color Android Development] Cubfan99:
Was going to give up on the Nook Color until I tried this ROM. Everything else is sluggish or buggy. This rocks. Makes it feel like a bigger version of my Evo running CM7.

I love this. Thanks!!
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
update coming tonight =)
[Nook Color Android Development] dr_tracker:
Say what????
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
dang lol.. already?

nice!!

thanks :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Ev3rM0r3:
how long does a new install sit on that (ANDROID_) screen down the left corner?
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Amazing !! any chance you could tell us the change log ? :D
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
V5.3 based on RC4 is out.

Please take the time to read the entire original post (yep, page 1). I tried hard to make all the necessary notes for a successful installation as well as other tips and 'thank you's' and the like.

This release does not contain the bottom status bar tweak.

Mad-murdock is doing some incredible things, but they will not be a part of phiremod until it is incorporated into the CM source. I strive for phiremod to always be a solid and stable OS, so projects that are in beta or any other testing phase generally are not included. But rest assured, once mad-mudrock's excellent work is complete, it will be incorporated into phiremod.

If you haven't given him or samuelhalff a thanks, go do that now! =)

Now go download 5.3!
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Shouldn't be much longer than a minute
[Nook Color Android Development] Ev3rM0r3:
i had the nooter root install prior to this, installed the cwm, formated those directories, installed the file, max time for install takes like 1 minute and its done which seems short.

On restart is has the normal boot for a few seconds then flashes to that android_ blinking at the bottom. Then doesn't go anywhere.

I've re flashed my backup back and it booted right up to 1.01 with root. So what is it that im doing wrong because I'm not new to this and the directions were laid out perfectly and clear.

AND while typing this it then came up with (Install Failed) please turn off and back on to try again with a customer support contact link for nook color. ............ I rebooted and it was stuck in a loop with that touching the future message, switches to the Android_ then will again just reboot and loop.

I think i'm going to just try to factory restore it somehow and try that.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cubfan99:
Oh, come on. I just installed tonight and have been tweaking ever since. Please tell me I can flash over the last one without starting over. :)

So what's new? Anything noticable?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ev3rM0r3:
That did it, flashed back to stock 1.01 with cwm and reinstalled this and it worked this time. Guess the trial and error was worth the 3 hours.
[Nook Color Android Development] ingenue007:
does the yelp app no longer work? it won't install.
[Nook Color Android Development] nemir:
Thanks phiredrop for the update :)

I've just update to V5.3 ...

Bluetooth working... But wifi cannot see any acces point! I did fi permission from CW...

I tried several time by activating/deactivating wifi .. Now Wifi working...

I will check from other wifi modem whether same problem will occur or not...
[Nook Color Android Development] tsnoah:
Movies and Twitter wont install either due to missing a shard library...
[Nook Color Android Development] investinwaffles:
Very nice, thanks for all of your hard work phiredrop! :)

Is flash working with this build? Also, I'm sad you switched the highlight/select colorvfrom blue to gray :p
[Nook Color Android Development] bobster0001:
Very, very nice ROM. I just updated to 5.3 from 5.2 and everything seems fine so far.

For those who wants Arabic RtL and connected in browsers, use the lib files from Cyanogen7 patch at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852122 and replace it in the system.

It worked for me with no problems so far, but your mileage may vary.
[Nook Color Android Development] arielb27:
Just flashed this update from v5.2 to v5.3 and I have to say great job. Love it so far.

Is there any way to move the buttoms from the top to the bottom?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ryukou:
Question?

Hi, people. I'm noob in this things of e reader or tables. I'm want to buy one of this babies, but I have just one question? They can play movies and videos or don't? If somebody can answer me, I be will appreciated. Thanx.
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
Sure can, the project is getting close to being done and as far as tablets go, for $250 it's well worth it. And the developers in this forum are top notch and everyone is noob friendly, we were all there once.

Go for it.
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
Echoing the above, they can, and I'd only add that I really have had a riot learning a little bit more of the ins and outs of Android development thanks to the purchase of this device.

Really a great device for on both the educational and functional levels.

Edit: And as far as a functional, "daily driver", day to day use ROM - I have found absolutely none better than Phiremod.

I have a tendency to try all the new ROMS out there just to explore various tablet tweaks, new OS's, etc. - but when it comes to taking something with me, whether I'm on the road for work, or just out and about, Phiremod is what I use.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Something wonky seems to be going on with the Market not showing certain apps again (and causing people who upgraded to display 'missing library' for certain apps). Most apps appear to be functioning though.

Not sure what's going on yet..
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Anybody willing to take some HQ pictures of phiremod? I'll post them in the OP and give credit.

Rules: Display mostly default settings/features. Only SFW images. Avoid reflections.

PM your pics and I'll choose which ones go up. Only 8 slots open =)
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
ROM is getting more and more awesome!

Great props also to the CM7 team for the great work with RC4.

Maybe you should add the video-player that works best with your ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Not a bad idea - what works best?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I don't say best anymore because I found 3 "best" players in a week, but Vitalplayer Neon > MoboPlayer Neon > RockPlayer
[Nook Color Android Development] kendoori:
Does one have to blow away the previous version?

Noob question. I'm running 5.1, but whenever the madmurdock stuff makes it into Phiremod and I will upgrade to that (5.1 is running pretty well). I've now tried a bunch of different ROMs and each time it takes me a few hours to get everything back to a point where I can just use the device.

Am I right to assume that if I go to 5.3 (or some future version) that all layout/customizations/apps would need be reinstalled? or is there a way to just refresh the setup with newer ROM?
[Nook Color Android Development] louiscorpio:
Hi, can enlightment me how to run permissions??
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
The ROM Manager will do the job.

@chisleu: Is any of those supposed to use the DSP?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
It plays hardware acceleratable videos through the DSP and plays other formats/sizes through software, but when playing through software, it keeps the audio in sync, which other players do not.

Even more importantly, it uses gestures, which gives you an invisible, on-screen volume and brightness. Important for me because I use my volume buttons as back and menu.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nikmis:
Video is now running very smoothly! Excellent. Unfortunately, the Twitter app is giving me the missing shared library error (wouldn't run, wouldn't install from the market) when I installed over top of 5.2.

So, I wiped system,data,cache, reinstalled 5.3, and now Twitter is not showing up in the Market (even if I delete Twitter.apk from /system/apps like with Flash in 5.2). Any hints? (Twitter is working with other apps, so it's not a showstopper, but...)
[Nook Color Android Development] jamima69:
WOOOOOOOT RC4 based, awesome !!

am i correct in thinking that if i just flash 5.3 over my installation of 5.2 without wiping data/cache, that all my apps and setting will remain intact ?
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
What is RC4?
[Nook Color Android Development] dlinfiniti:
Release Candidate 4
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
and i take it this is a good thing... lol
[Nook Color Android Development] poppscc:
Does anyone know how to add more Widgets to the status bar pulldown? Is there a way to always show the status bar?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
coming soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Safe format

I forget ... is it safe to use the format command to format a new sdcard or does that wipe my boot partition ??

Thanks

UPDATE: Nevermind ... I remember now, never format via the ROM. :O)
