After waiting on an autonooter for 1.2 (no offense to the developer of that, it was a freaking miraculous level of work you did to get that gem working under 1.0 and 1.1), I got tired of keeping the 1.1 rooted Nook Color off the WiFi, and decided to set up a dual boot rig of Phiremod 6.2 and pure stock 1.2. A lot of hoops had to be jumped to get there, but now everything is perfect. Both setups work so well, that I can't imagine anything better. Great work on this ROM. The only reason to go to stock side now is to read magazines, and use a better B&N based eReader setup than what can be achieved using the market nook app.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
I use On Demand.

But I would like to know between On Demand and Interactive, which preserve more the battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] colorado_al:
I've been using the test build dated 042411 since it came out. Working great at 1300.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
Hmm..

Just made some quick Quadrant tests with On Demand and Interactive and with On Demand I got high scores since 1st run, though Interactive needed more runs.
[Nook Color Android Development] methodz:
Took my 5 flashes to get 6.2 running successfully but once it got going I was impressed! This is my first real rom on the nook(previously just rooted with market)

How is all of your battery lives? Mine drains at about 2% per hour just sitting there doing nothing. Is this normal or do you have any additional tricks for me.

Thank you to the developer(s) this is a great rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] hockeyfamily737:
Unfortunately it's normal.....With the present setup our Nooks never really "sleep". It's an issue that the developers are working on and will hopefully be resolved soon. Until then you can either cope with it or power it down when you're not going to use it for an extended period, which isn't a big deal, because if you're overclocked the thing boots fast anyways.

Can anyone please post the md5sum of Phiremod 6.2

I got

65061da8355eddecda2a3ed81e1526e8 phiremod-nook-v6.2.zip

My WiFi connection was cut off and I'm not sure if my download is okay.

EDIT: sorry I saw it on the phiremod website. My checksum is correct.
[Nook Color Android Development] rajendra82:
The on-demand and conservative governors poll the CPU for a X number of milliseconds, and then switch to a higher frequency state if the CPU load is high enough. The conservative governor switches up one step at a time, while the on-demand switches up to the highest frequency on load. The interactive governor on the other hand does not do the polling before switching, similar to on-demand, it switches to the highest frequency upon CPU being used, and then it does the polling and switches back down if needed. This will lead to higher perfrmance and responsiveness, as you will not be waiting for the polling results before switching up, but this will come at the cost of battery usage.
[Nook Color Android Development] chopsticksny:
I am wondering is the cost of battery usage on interactive a big difference compare to on-demand?
[Nook Color Android Development] tomic22:
Phiremod 6.2 with the 4/24/11 OC kernel is the best!!!

i have it on 300/1300 interactive and didnt have any FC's :)

Thanks everybody for yet another great release!
[Nook Color Android Development] zenmasta:
Lucky you :( I could not get the 4/24 kkernel to work on mine so I got the another kernel runing at 1100
[Nook Color Android Development] poppscc:
The only real trick you can do is to flash on a full charge. Definitely makes a difference on my battery life.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
Also wiping the Battery Stats helps.

Problem with a couple apps.

Having a problem with a couple weather related apps. Many television stations distribute a weather radar app from Raycom Media that is rebranded for each station. My local station is WAVE3. The app is https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wave.android.weather&feature=search_result. It worked fine on my 1.0.1 rooted NC, but now that I've installed phiremod 6.2, the app won't run - it causes a FC. I tried versions from other TV stations and they all acted the same.

I grew quite fond of the app during the recent tornado outbreaks and would really like to get it back on my Nook. Anyone have an idea how to make it work? Is anyone actually able to successfully run the app (maybe it's just me!)

I also noticed that a few other mobile apps are wanting to run as a small display rather than full screen on the Nook. The ran with large displays previously. Is there a setting to tell apps to use the larger screen size of the NC rather than acting like it's running on a tiny screen phone?

Thanks to all of you who gave me the courage to install the ROM!

[Nook Color Android Development] eghill1125:
Jim,

Check in Spare Parts App to make sure Compatibility Mode at the bottom is not checked to get apps to show in full screen. Probably have to reboot after if it was checked to begin with. If that doesn't help, you could try Fix Permissions in the Rom Manager..
[Nook Color Android Development] s0ma:
Anyone else?

Hey - searched and didn't find anything.

I successfully updated to 6.2. Using LauncherPro, i setup all my screens & widgets. Whenever I reboot or hard shutdown and turn on, the widgets don't load upon return. Most just say "problem loading widget" in them, or have completely vanished. This wasn't happening with 6.1 I do have a different theme enabled this time around though...

Anyone else having a similar problem?

EDIT ** Weird - I rebooted twice more and they all showed up again... weird glitch. Well, hope this helps anyone who's had this problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ceger:
I had the issue when I had ADW Launcher or Launcher EX with a theme installed. Seems it messes with the SDCard and other boot up processes, thus the widget issues... even though the widgets are not on the SDCard (go fig). All I know is that once I uninstalled all ADW themes and stopped using theme icons, etc., things went back to normal.

Ceger
[Nook Color Android Development] hockeyfamily737:
Soma, make sure the apparently you're using widgets for are installed to the device and not your sd card and that you're allowing enough time for your book to boot.

[Nook Color Android Development] s0ma:
Yeah, apps are all internal.

I think you nailed it though... I did try to prematurely scroll a window while everything was loading up. Maybe that caused it.

Glad they're working.....PS, damn auto-correct hijacked my first reply.

[Nook Color Android Development] JimDantin:
The compatibility mode was the problem with tiny displays. Fixed it -- thanks.

Fix Permissions did not help with the weather radar app.

Would someone else please try the app and tell me if it works for you?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
For me Fix Permissions in ROM Manager and compatibility mode fixed 99% of things.

There is one other category in Gingerbread that got me - GPS!. I ran a log cat on a some aviation and weather apps that just would not run. It turned out all the problems were GPS related. The apps were assuming the Nook had a GPS, and of course it doesn't. I teathered to an external GPS and the apps would run. I have since found that as long as bluetooth is ON and "Bluetooth GPS Provider" is running, it doesn't matter if I'm really connected to a GPS.

It may be possible your app is assuming there is a GPS for location and maps.
[Nook Color Android Development] JimDantin:
THAT sounds likely -- OK now I'm off on the Bluetooth enabling quest. It's always "one more thing . . ." :rolleyes:

BIG thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
Hmm, well I don't think its GPS in your case. I ran the app with and without GPS Provider and BT running. (screen shots attached) I am running 6.2 with the latest test kernel running at 1.2 Ghz.

I would uninstall run Fix Permissions from Rom Manager, reboot, reinstall, and run Fix Permissions again, reboot. That has worked for me when I had stubborn apps before. Fix permissions has always done it for me, except for GPS errors.
[Nook Color Android Development] akarol:
The source code has been out for some time. Any estimation as to when the sleep bug will be resolved? It's keeping my from going back to this badass ROM. :P
[Nook Color Android Development] JimDantin:
That app works for me now -- it the WAVE3 Radar app (or ANY TV station's RayCom Media version) that crashes.

Anyone have any luck with bluetooth a2dp streaming music? I searched for 'a2dp' specifically on this thread and was surprised to find no hits. It can pair and connect with an a2dp speaker I have, but no music streaming.

I received and ooted my NC two days ago and installed phiremod. It's excellent! Thanks for sharing! :)

Some quick questions:

1. Is it possible to uninstall ADW launcher? I know many people like it but I'm not used to it and prefer Zeam or LauncherPro.

2. Is there anyway the softkeys can be independent of the notification bar? I like softkeys, but the top and bottom edges of the NC are a little tricky to get to and somewhat insensitive to taps.

3. Sometimes I see duplicates of certain apps' icons in the drawer. This has happened twice and I uninstalled the app the first time round. The second time it occured to another app, I was either charging or connecting the NC to my pc. Has this happened to other people before?

4. Is it possible to message/text my contacts? I installed Whatsapp but it didn't 'recognise my phone'.

TIA,
[Nook Color Android Development] seth.i.simmons:
I've been having a little bit of trouble over the last week, and thought I'd post and see if I can do anything about it. So, onto the problem!

It started randomly one day, when I woke up and started up my nook, it booted fine and then froze on the lockscreen. It wouldn't respond to any buttons, soft or hard. So I restarted it thinking it was just a one time thing. Then on boot, this time the lockscreen unlocked very sluggishly (slider moved choppy) and then it froze on my home screen and had to be restarted again. This time it worked perfect.

Then a couple days later, when I booted it up, it did the same thing :(

And now it just did it again, so I'm desperate to fnd a fix as its really annoying to have to reboot it 3 or 4 times to get it to boot correctly. I'm running phiremod v6.2, dals 042411 OC kernel at 1.3ghz, and I'm running VTL launcher as my main launcher. Any help would be awesome!
[Nook Color Android Development] 30secs:
to upgrade from v6.0, what do i need to clear before flashing to retain my apps?
[Nook Color Android Development] waylo:
1. Why do you need to uninstall it? Just install Zeam, or whatever you want, and run that instead. You could go into system apps and replace the default launcher app if you want, but not worth the trouble.

2. You can turn off the notification bar keys in Tablet Tweaks under Phiremod settings. I think you deselect all under "choose soft buttons"

3. Not seen that

4. I use google voice to text contacts. Responses get to both my phone and my nook. Since your nook doesn't have a phone number, I don't know if any other apps would work. Have you tried textfree? Probably like whatsapp.

Pandora issues

Anyone get Pandora to work under 6.2? I searched the forum and found some prior issues, from 2.5 months ago. I'm assuming those issues with the framework don't apply today.

Pandora force closes as soon as I login. The app will run fine until I login to my account. Obviously, this makes it nonfunctional.

[Nook Color Android Development] #2!:
I've tried 3 times and every time I update to the 042411 kernel the nook freezes at the reboot and power off screen. Also every time I try to change the max clock speed.

040411 works perfect for me.

If I try to select any frequency it will freeze. Weird.

In-place "upgrade" from CM7 to Phiremod?

I've been running CM7 off of SD card for a while. I'm on nightly-64 right now with Dalingrin's test kernel. The other day I installed the dual-boot Phiremod/HC-SDK image that someone put together and got to play with Phiremod for the first time. I really like some of the aesthetic enhancements over stock CM7.

Is there an easy way to migrate my CM7 install to Phiremod, ideally without screwing up my CM7? Is it just as simple as putting the phiremod 6.2 zip file onto my /sdcard partition, booting into CWR, and installing that zip, or will that put me into a really bad state?

Thanks much for any advice!

screen calibrating

I have found my self frustrated several times when playing games for more than 10 minutes. Every game that I have played that requires extensive touch screen messes up the calibrations on the display.

In Angry birds all versions the sling shot wont shoot in the direction that it is supposed to or it will release prematurely after a few minutes of playing the game.

Same with Stupid Zombies. I would press the screen for release in one area and the bullet would fire somewhere else. The cross-hairs jump all over the screen.

The same goes for games like flight control, paper toss, and basketball online

Has anyone else noticed this problem? and how did you fix...

other than that everything else works fine.

I just flashed my NC with phiremod 6.2. Earlier I was playing Gun Bros when my NC suddenly shut down by itself. I found this weird as the battery indicator said I still had 35% battery remaining. The uptime had been reset, which meant my NC did turn itself off.

Is there some problem with the battery reporting?
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
Try recalibrating your battery.

With your charger plugged in, boot into recovery and clear your battery stats (under advanced), then charge until 100% and green charge led turns off, and then some. :D
