wifi issues V5

I can't seem to connect to my wifi. wpa/wpa2 psk. I don't have a problem with my stock nook or nookie froyo SD. I didn't have a problem with honeycomb v4. I can connect to an open wifi network, just not my own.

Any ideas?

unable to play mp4 video files that worked under Autonooter............i have tried didnt player but say unsupported
[Nook Color Android Development] comdei:
theres very little video support on CM7
[Nook Color Android Development] evilmerlin:
Wifi on V5 seems to be less stable than v4.1. Sometimes it'll connect immediately, sometimes it'll do a connect/disconnect cycle for a while and while connect can lose connection momentarily. Occurs most readily on protected networks.
[Nook Color Android Development] coolguy001:
For V5, my nook color stuck at HoneyComb animation for at least 20 minutes. First reboot after flash.

Dead Nook Color?
[Nook Color Android Development] mindcandy:
just discovered this rom today - awesome work, thanks to all involved.

can anyone provide me with a copy of the NOOK app for android?

or perhaps it could be included in the next update?

seems pretty odd that I can't use my Nook as an ereader.

I'm based in the UK so the app isn't available in the android market and I've not yet found a free/easy VPN app (Hotspot Sheild) for android.

thx.
[Nook Color Android Development] thunderstruck!:
Mine didn't take that long, even with deleting the Dalvik cache after upgrading from 4.1. This version seems a lot faster.
[Nook Color Android Development] sunsurfer42:
Working super now! Thanks Phiremod!
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
Yeah i finally installed yesterday forgot to post it works just add to same sdcard used to install and flash zip, then reboot. Done. Thanks rom is amazing, but somehow, my battery is dead now, should i remove cell service from it to stop it from staying on all night?
[Nook Color Android Development] guardianali:
Question...using autonooter with normal barnes noble rom vplayer plays divx avis stuttery. Even oced to 1100 from 800. Does jit in froyo make 350meg hour long tv episode divx files run smoother?. Someone can test it would be great.

I've also tried qqplayer, rockplayer and others
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
nvm i deleted the 2 phone apks i found and telephoneprovider,2 cameras and mms. Should be working perfectly now, although one of the apps i had was working great but now its small, even with changed density. Oh well im going try a reinstall.
[Nook Color Android Development] sunsurfer42:
Like I said in my last post, this ROM is working super. It won't let me uninstall the camera apps, which isn't that big of a deal. The biggest issue I am having is that Flash player will not work. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
I'm looking into the usefulness of having those seemingly 'unnecessary' system apps in relation to other apps in the market showing up. This will hopefully be settled when we are out of beta.

What errors are you getting with Flash?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
phiredrop - any plans to port the B&N apps over from stock Eclair? A lot of folks use that for the ereader portion and that would be awesome to have.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
I am interested in this as well and will look into it, though we may just have to wait until B&N updates the nook to a Froyo base.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
understandable. but if someone can work some magic and bring it over to one of the custom ROMs that would be fantastic! i'm especially interested in the kids stuff with "read to me". my kids use that a lot.
[Nook Color Android Development] dhoshman:
A couple of small things I noticed. 1. nook app seems to not want to sync with your profile so no books.

2. Needs a boot animation (That would be awesome)

3. Battery life is horrid lol maybe a new kernel or something .

4. Not often but I get random power offs.

It's a beta version but it's an awesome rom even with the small kinks. Wait till it comes out of beta and it's gonna be niiiice. Good job man.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I believe the problem is, these applications made use of heavily modified (Android) framework the B&N did, making them more difficult to simply port. Not to say impossible, but I wouldn't put alot of hope on it right now.
[Nook Color Android Development] kittyface:
this looks good!

I think I'm going to give this ROM a shot. I am running the HC v04 eMMC ROM at the moment, but I'm having too many problems with it.

I followed the directions for the flashable zip here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947071

Can I just put this on my zip on the same card and follow the same directions? (e.g. wipe everything and then flash from SD) :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Yes, but do not wipe the boot partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
When is it appropriate or necessary to wipe the boot partition?
[Nook Color Android Development] sunsurfer42:
Just tells me that flash player is not installed, I have no clue as to why.
[Nook Color Android Development] dougE24:
I wish there was a way to add a soft on screen back and menu button like in the last rom i was running i believe it was autonooter.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
It's called "Soft Keys" and it's included in phiremod :)
[Nook Color Android Development] kittyface:
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to do this tonight when I get home from work and I'll let you know how it goes.

I'M SO EXCITED! :eek:
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
And if you don't like that app, i like to recommend button savior (personally, i think it works better.. its nice being able to bring it up anywhere without hitting the home button)..
[Nook Color Android Development] glayourt:
Actually Soft keys is boring.

I prefered to reassign Volume UP and Volume Down to Back and Menu

Then I install a widget for volume on the desktop

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#Remapping_Volume_Buttons_to_MENU_and_BACK_Buttons

I also installed the 1100 MHz and I love it like this.
[Nook Color Android Development] jjenson:
I load up clockword then have it say : can't mount system, data, cache not sure why its doing this?

I didn't have this issue last time around.

**** Nevermind not sure why but its working now **********
[Nook Color Android Development] thunderstruck!:
Mine wouldn't let me add any new apps from Market, plus no Flash, so I'm nandroiding back to 4.1 until this gets sorted out.
[Nook Color Android Development] Brett8187:
Version 5 works perfectly fine people. I've done it on 2 nooks already. Bluetooth works after a few reboots. Try formatting and following the instructions. If it doesn't work for you chances are there is an extra step you need to do
[Nook Color Android Development] danchappers:
Hi,

Im currently still on 4.1, but to use Flash everytime I restart my NC I need to install Flash from system/apps anyone else getting this or has this been fixed in v5?

Cheers
[Nook Color Android Development] grinch247:
sees my wireless tether...but not my home wifi :(
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Same thing in v5.
[Nook Color Android Development] onclebob:
it happened to me with nookie froyo, i just changed my rooter wifi canal from 10 to "automatic".

Hope it help!
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
so for those who are coming from v4.1

can we just simply upgrade it?

or we have to delete cache, data, then install sd from zip onto v4.1 to v5?

or do wehave to redo it all?
[Nook Color Android Development] grinch247:
still no dice :( appreciate the help anyways :)
[Nook Color Android Development] grinch247:
settings...
[Nook Color Android Development] MK[PCTF]:
I upgraded from v4.1 to v5, just flashed the ROM from uSD, no wiping, no deleting. Everything works just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldweasel:
Anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this issue? Keeping me from fully utilizing the NC because of having to frequently re-image. Is this somehow related to the wifi "looping" issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
oh so it was just CWR > Install from zip

and that was all?

all your apps and data still there? :D
[Nook Color Android Development] MK[PCTF]:
yeah, pretty much. It only removed N.O.V.A. shortcut from home screen, don't know why.

I have done the same when coming from v4 to 4.1 and no problem even then :)
[Nook Color Android Development] WunSick:
This is one of my favorite roms by far. Gets a little bogged down at times (probably due to graphics support?), but looking forward to more progress. Any way to boot to recovery from this rom without an SD card? "reboot recovery" from terminal didnt work either :/
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
You'll probably have to replace the u-boot.bin file on the /boot partition to get cwr back. It happens from time to time. Pull one from one of the stock roms and put it on this one.

[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Ay particular reason you reverted to the stock market? Just curious...

Oh and do we need to wipe anything if coming from 5.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
The modified Market didn't install correctly. And no wipe necessary coming from V5. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Strange, I didnt have an issue with it at all. Thanks though!
[Nook Color Android Development] S3NATOR:
LOL! I just updated to V5 this morning. Guess I'll have to flash twice today :D. Thanks phiredrop and all involved in getting CM7 on our nooks!

Can't wait to get home and try the update.

Hopefully this fixes the issue I've been having with updating apps from the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Should we flash the latest OC kernel too?

Are we using stock kernel because of framerates with video?
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
Agreed. What's up with stock kernel? No more OC?
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
As I was going thru th messages I noticed someone asked is there another way to install this. I just did this without doing anything (removing) the sd card.

I keep changing every few days ROM (looking for the Great one) and I had nookie froyo on here. What I did was used a program called Awesome Drop (free in the market). and wirelessly copied the Zip file to sdcard. Booted from Nookie into CW recovery and formated the system and data (because I was using Nookie) then went and flashed the Rom. Rebooted from CW and that was it. Since I already had my TB backup on the sd card and didnt have to do much. Just waited 5 mins to sit, configured, and restored my files. Everything working great so far.

A question that kept coming up, why is the OC gone, does this mean, the UV is gone also and battery wont last as long?
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Didn't install in V5.1 ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] akarol:
Quick observations with 5.1:

1. Only overclockable to 925mhz via Cyanogenmod Settings.

2. What is the purpose of TubeXL and why can't it play any movies at all?

3. Videos are playing via YouTube but indeed quite choppy. Audio is fine however.

4. Seems quite more responsive and smooth than previous versions.

5. Thanks for fixing default homescreen in ADW, that was indeed quite annoying.

Can anyone confirm the observations above with their system?
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
yep pretty much... just flashed it from v4.1 to 5.1..

tubeXL doesnt work for me...

nice little system animation...

one thing though, the sound + and - used to be page back and all.. now it's the ringer volume back to normal.. anyway to set it back?

feels a lot more responsive now.
[Nook Color Android Development] xBryan:
get the HardKeysEditor apk.
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
thanks!

btw, where do i enable the BT LOL

can't seem to find it
[Nook Color Android Development] xBryan:
i think its under wireless and networks

edit: yep just looked lol
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
when u click on turn on bluetooth, does urs glow green?

mine just stays there after i click on it.. nothing happens.

nvm - restarted and it worked

thanks!

will that be fixed soon, if not i will pass on this as i want video's to play

Phiremod,

Here is a little issue im having which i think is new. When you change the density below 161, the back and menu buttons dissapear on the top. For whatever reason, For example, the engadget app doesnt display using the whole screen unless 160 or lower.. I thought it was working with even numbers but havent found a working one over 161. In the 4.x version it worked.
[Nook Color Android Development] heldunder:

I know this has been asked but hasn't been answered?

Is there a reason why the OC Kernel isn't included in v5.1 like the others? Were you having issues, or is it safe to apply this?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizDroid:
For what its worth, I had flashed v5, and had those issues. I just flashed over v5.1 and experienced the same thing. Not complaining at all, great work!

EDIT: Just like I did the first time, I flashed again. Market works.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Switched to stock kernel for this release to get feedback in overall performance differences. If majority wants, I can put Dalingrin back as default.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
The only weird thing I noticed with v5.1 is that after restoring all my apps (w/ data), the Market still shows them as purchased instead of installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] igolfchip:
I searched, but couldn't find an answer anywhere.

2 Questions / Help?

1) Don't have a need for Button Savior - how can I remove this from loading on boot?

2) Loved the B&N Sudoku application from the stock rom. Has anyone extracted this and created a standalone APK?
[Nook Color Android Development] ledrocnoc:
SOLVED! Anyone getting a: "Assert failed: getprop("ro.pr..." error during install ???

I followed the instructions at the top of the thread to install 5.1 and I am getting the following error when trying to install the ZIP file from SD card using ClockworkMod:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore" || getprop(ro.product.board") == "encore"

I am running on a Nook-Color using ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5

Thanks.

UPDATE: Ok... a little more research showed that I should have been running Clockwork Mod 3.0.1.0 It works now!
[Nook Color Android Development] Shawn_230:
I find the system animations incredibly annoying. Can I turn them off?

Sorry if it's already been asked, didn't find an it answered.
[Nook Color Android Development] tankzar:
Bump for an answer. And thanks phiredrop! The update is running smooth so far! I still get a fc using the XDA app which sucks.
[Nook Color Android Development] igolfchip:
I felt the same way - disable animations by:

SETTINGS>DISPLAY>ANIMATIONS>(Select NO ANIMATIONS)

Also, I found it hard to see and use the touch screen at the default Screen Density. Using the LCD DENSITY app, I Changed this to 240 and while it looks more like an oversized phone, much easier to use and read.
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
It's not slow at all. But is it slower better for battery or doesnt matter?
[Nook Color Android Development] cowballz69:
Where can i find the stock kernal .zip? , so i can switch between the two and look for diffrences
[Nook Color Android Development] madsquabbles:
sometimes it's best to not include oc'ing in a rom so that you can rule it out for instability issues. some crashes and lock ups can be just b/c your unit can't handle the oc stabily.
[Nook Color Android Development] pacosal:
Please keep oc kernel, it works. Perfect!
[Nook Color Android Development] glgehman:
Not sure what is meant by "stock" kernel. If B&N stock, then yes, I prefer the OC ones.

But according to the CM7 Video Test Build thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960537), the "stock" CM7 kernel has been benching much higher than Dalingrin OC kernel. 925MHz turning amazing numbers over 1.1GHz cpu. So if that's the case, I say go with that.

On another note, I had some trouble getting Flash to work with 5.1. Under 4.x and 5.0, I had set user agent as Linux Desktop in Browser and any web page with Flash object embedded in it showed black box. After I reset user agent as Android and erased my Browser cache, and re-installed the Flash from the Market, I still got the black box. It said "You need to update Flash."

So, thinking I had nothing to lose, I just clicked the link right there on the web page. Flash 10.2 (point nothing!) downloaded and installed. Cleared Browser cache and Voila!! Flash is now working.
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
so all i have to do is put all the files on the sd card and boot it up and then "Format SYSTEM and then DATA" will be right their? or will i have to do something special for that to show up?
[Nook Color Android Development] trilogy069:
I never had or have any issues with your ROM, just call me lucky but I do think that the Dalingrin kernel worked fine after the nook settled down after the V5 release. I know that V5.1 is on another base but to be honest I like the way V5 is working for me.

I say in the future offer the stock kernel as an install option and just let your creativity keep flowing....GREAT Work!

for those running 5.1 with stock kerneal vs 5 w/the OC kernal, which one feels faster??
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I suggest using both kernels and decide based on real world experience rather than Quadrant. I maintain both kernels so you hurt my feelings either way. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
lol, +1 :)
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I'm running the OC kernel and consistently benchmark 1300's-1400's, which is where the stock kernels are benchmarking. I think it is the way the benchmark operates w/ certain (on demand) governors. I use the performance governor.

925mhz vs 1000 or 1100 isn't a huge deal to begin with, but I still say go with the OC kernels. Synthetics are Synthetics.

Whichever is clocked higher with a "faster" governor.

1100 w/ the performance governor feels super snappy. Can't wait for spring break to be over!!! How many college kids say that??!?

BUMPING earlier questions
[Nook Color Android Development] dr_tracker:
In titanium backup, select it, then uninstall. This way you can remove anything that you don't want/need. But be careful with system files, they can be removed just as easily.

Update: BTW, ROM is working great so far, installed dalingrin's OC Kernel, speedy even at 800Mhz. TubeXL is not working, youtube from the web works so so. In Rockplayer Hardware Acceleration works but choppier than software acceleration. Lost the fancy windows animations, but besides using them to annoy some Ipad fanboys, I don't miss them.

Go to system>build.prop>edit and go down to lcd density and change it.

2.3.3 = gingerbread (I think)
[Nook Color Android Development] pmilford:
Froyo is Android 2.2

CM7 == CyanogenMOD7 is based off Gingerbread, Android 2.3. See

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

Note that the Nook Color is called 'Encore' as they use vendor internal names.

CM7 is not yet released as a 'stable' ROM, they are still developing it rapidly,

they release a new version with changes almost every night, they are

called 'nightlies'.

Phiremod ROM is based off recent CM7 nightly builds. See threads in this forum.

The next announced version of Android is HoneyComb or HC, version 3.0, it is

designed more for tablets. There are some early builds available.

Hope this helps!
