I've tried everything to get the new boot to go full screen, but I'm not convinced that the Nook's processor can handle it (even the CM7 HD version Adam2010 made didn't work well on the nook) When tinkering with this one, it would just result in a black screen. If anyone wants to get it working, by my guest :)

Although, if you must get rid of it, you can either 'adb push' a new boot to /system/media or remove/rename the existing bootanimation.zip
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
On a side note, V6.1 is now available at my new site https://phiremod.wordpress.com/nook-color/

I will no longer be updating this XDA post for personal reasons. Please follow my new site for all future updates.

You are all awesome!
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:

is it necessary to wipe if going from 6.0 to 6.1?

Thanks :)

@phiredrop

does the new kernel for 6.1 add the functions of both the 4/4 kernel and the 3/31 kernel? also, where can i get all the stock NC wallpapers?

is it necessary to let the device fully charge before flashing the update?
[Nook Color Android Development] blackjoker4215:
Looking forward to the flash!
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
As stated 20+ times in this forum and every one of his install instructions!

Installation for V6.1:

-

- To maximize battery performance, make sure your battery is charged to 100% before flashing

Hate to bring up an old post, but it definitely does support making SIP calls with bluetooth headsets. I just tested it on Fring (yes, using SIP). I dialed my GV number that forwards to IPKALL which rings on sip. Having the ability to use GV callback would be amazing. Essentially a sweet free landline using my NC.

Is there any advantage to removing the phone packages? I know GV Callback won't work without it. Any chance on getting it put back in?
[Nook Color Android Development] travisn000:
I was running HC on emmc and recently flashed this... all went well, but I decided I wanted to install CWR. For some reason I am unable to get CWR to install; I've tried using ROM manager, as well as using flashing it using a CWR sdcard with a flashable zip from here:

http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/clockwork/cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip

IIRC I had formatted a few partitions to ext4 to install HC.. Phiremod installed fine on my existing HC partitions (I did wipe everything first). Any ideas on why I can't install CWR to emmc?

I haven't yet tried installing from adb.. I was hoping to avoid it! :eek:

...I did see instruction for adb CWR push part way down the first post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971197&highlight=flash+clockwork+recovery

Do I need to push that kernel also, or does phiremod already have what I need? (..perhaps that is why other methods arent' working?) ...I would prefer not to break my install, as I already have it tweaked the way I want it.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] explorer-10:
1)

2)i also get 'install unsuccessful' on some apps in the market. what can i do?

3)suggestion to implement into 6.1/6.2: add a "smartass" governor for the cpu performance that also sets a low cpu for screen off
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Just flashed 6.1 over 6.0 (only wiped Cache and Dalvik cache, nothing else, as usual), and didn't need to change one single thing. Up and running in less than 5 minutes :D

So, what's the next big thing for the phiredrop release? Tablet tweaks II?
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Hmmm... I don't know if this was the case with 6.0 or not, but I am having a problem with sound playback with 6.1. Playing mp3 files with the included Music player or the Mobo player, the sound is "stuttering" every 2-3 seconds. The same is true when playing clips via YouTube or movies through Moboplayer. Interestingly, if I play the same movie thorugh VPlayer or YX player, the sound is OK.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: Restored back to 6.0. Apparently, the same thing was in 6.0 as well, I just never tested it :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Caspar07:
Oops, very embarassing, I missed that part :o

Thanks - and to all of You: the magic You're doing on the Nook is very impressive!
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Another observation on 6.1. I assume due to the following "Added host profile to remove most web adds", flash videos that begin with a short ad (e.g., the ones on CNN or Yahoo News) are simply stuck after the ad clip starts playing, and it doesn't proceed to the "actual" clip.

EDIT: Restored back to 6.0. As expected, the clips move in sequence (from ad to the actual news clip).

I now have all of the phone functionality enabled, but I still cannot complete setup of GV, as it hangs while trying to detect voicemail settings. Someone suggested sideloading GV, but I haven't figured out how to first uninstall the existing version.

6.0 to 6.1

Guys,

I replaced my stock 1.1 with Dalgrins 1_2 update with PhirEMod 6.0 over the weekend and love it. I wiped all required things(cache, delvick, battery stats)per the instructions and had no issues at all so far. Now I want to replace 6.0 with 6.1. But, when I boot to CWR 3.0.1.0, goto advanced, and wipe delvik my CWR says Delvik cache wiped, then just locks up solid. So I booted up into Phir 6.0, ran Rom Manager, reflashed the CWR 3.0.1.0, rebooted and tried again. It still locks up.

Any suggestions?

I can still reboot back into PHir 6.0 with no issues. But I'd like to go to 6.1.

I also had no issues with CWR before I flashed phir 6.0.

thanks for any suggestions.:confused:

I also had no issues with CWR before I flashed phir 6.0.

thanks for any suggestions.:confused:

EDIT: I guess I could just reboot back into CWR without booting to phir6.0 and then restart/continue the process. I'm just concerned that something isn't quite right. I've never had many issues with CWR before. I don't want to have to rebuild it all again. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] anonim1:
CWR always locks up for me after wiping Dalvik Cache too, I wouldn't worry about it. Just hold the power button down to shut it down, then reboot again and reflash.
[Nook Color Android Development] jyams:
I think that the Delvik cache wipe lockup is a known problem. It happens to me everytime I perform that step in preparing to flash a ROM or .zip. I have come to expect it. I simply hold down on the power button to turn off. Then reboot back into CWR and resume the next step, which is most of the time flashing the ROM and OC kernel. Delvik cache wipe also hung up when booting to CWR from SD. Either way, power down, power back up into CWR and resume your flash procedures and you should be successful. It has never affected a successful wipe and flash operation for me. I've read where others have a problem with freezing up also. My personal preference is not using ROM Manager for flashing new ROMs, even though many do it this way. I have a bootable SD card with the CWM 3.0.1 image. When introducing a new ROM, I just stick the microSD card into my laptop and copy over the new ROM, then put in the Nook, let it boot to CWR, perform nandroid backup, full wipe (system, cache, and Delvik), reboot when the Delvik freeze up occurs, then flash the new ROM and kernels. If simply upgrading to a newer ROM version of the same ROM, I just wipe cache, wipe Delvik, reboot on freeze up, and flash new ROM version and kernels. Hope this helps.

[Nook Color Android Development] anonim1:
You're probably not getting a response because the answer is right there on phiredrop's website. It states "New Kernel: Dalingrin OC 041811C".
[Nook Color Android Development] sanvara:
The instructions don't say to wipe Delvik cache?

- Copy “phiremod-V6.1.zip” and “update-alsa-041411.zip” to the root of your SD

- Boot into the latest ClockworkMod Recovery for nook from Rom Manager

- Format SYSTEM and then DATA

- Flash phiremod (should take about 5 minutes)
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
I don't format system or data; I just wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache every time I upgrade Phiremod versions and it works great. If you are doing an incremental upgrade (i.e., 5.1>5.2>5.3>6.0>6.1>...), you dont have to format system and data every time. Of course, if things dont work right, you can always go back and wipe everything prior to installation of the new version.
[Nook Color Android Development] explorer-10:
what about the next 2?
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Is anyone having trouble with youtube under 6.1? The clips start off fine, but after a random amount of time, the playback stops with “there was a problem, tap to continue” error. I uninstalled and reinstalled youtube app again from the market, but that didn’t help either.

I think my problem with YouTube is related to an issue on 6.1. For some reason, my WiFi connection, which worked without a hitch on 6.0, “pauses” every 15-30 seconds. The icon on the status bar changes from blue to gray, and during that time, if I have an ongoing download, it pauses as well, and if there is a video playback on youtube, it comes up with an error message. I didn’t do a fresh install (i.e., only wiped caches from 6.0), but I’ve never had any problems with the way I upgraded from one version of Phiremod to the next.

Any idea what could be the reason for my WiFi hiccup problem?

Thanks!

Amazing ROM

Hello all,

I'm a relatively new user running Phiremod 6.1, and I'm loving it! Many thanks to all of the developers involved, and to the users providing such excellent information.

I have two questions, and search is not working right now so please forgive me if they have been asked before...

1. If I'd like to remove the clock and wifi from the statusbar entirely, how would I go about doing that? I've looked through every option in settings and have not been able to find anything for it.

2. I found a post describing how to turn on the lockscreen, but I haven't seen anything concerning enabling a pin or pattern unlock...is this option available somewhere?

Thanks!

Did you load a lot of media files on it? (pictures, music, videos)

Check your "battery use" and see what's using the battery. If it "Media" is listed, then it means your NC was scanning for media files.

CM7 uses 1-2% battery when it's idle, so if you leave if it's fully charged it should still have quite a bit of juice left at the end of the day.

Who's dallas and where can I get his kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
I lol'ed... As well as at many of the silly overasked questions.

First off, there is no phone function in the nook, so the "phone idle" is a fake "battery draining" indication.

Bluetooth is in Phiredrop and CM7, however it's unable to be used with a bluetooth headset for talking, so it's major uses are for headphones, speakers, keyboards, gps and external game controllers (wiimote).

When I go to settings and click "turn on bluetooth" it tries to do something but nothing happens..

If i upgrade from a clean 6.0 to 6.1 -- can't I just flash without wiping anything? :confused:

You can, but wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache will not harm anything; you'll have your apps and data intact.

Bluetooth

Turn off wifi (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi)

Reboot

Turn on Bluetooth (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth)

Turn on wifi

It seems a bit odd, but that's what you have to do. From then on out it'll work fine.

Facebook forceclose frequently (Phiremod nook V6); and WiFi issues on overclock?

Thank-YOU for this very good ROM. I love 2.3.3 ...

The two "major" issues that I am looking for leads on (though I will be attempting some uninstalls, cache wipes, etc.):

Facebook 1.5.3 consistently Force Closes on certain operations (e.g., jump directly to wall post from Widget).

I get unable to connect to personal WPA WiFi in various situations: particularly if overclocked even to 1000.

Unfortunately, you are stuck with the Nook App, which doesn't include magazine subscriptions or the "read to me" functions. You can either try running either CM7 or 1.1 from SD or revert back to 1.1 depending on how important those functions are to you.

Any advice regarding battery life? When my Nook was stock + autonooted + OC'd @ 1.0ghz, , my battery life would not move even 1% overnight.

Now it goes down 15-20% per night, and is dead in a few days from 100% if I don't touch it. Not sure if actual "use" is burning the battery quicker or not, but the idle problem is killing me.
[Nook Color Android Development] EhudBenjamin:
1 Easiest way is the boot to recovery in ROM Manager.

2 The only sure fire way in know is to do a full wipe and install the rom again.

Audio Sync

Hi , was wondering if anyone else noticed that when playing video streams . If you hit the volume button on Nook up or down . The audio goes out of sync with video . It is almost as each click of volume button interrupts audio stream, making audio lag behind video . I am on V 6.1 + alsa .

Edit : I think it may only be happening using playon mobile .
