BlueTooth fix Maybe

I found this thread talking about how a dev got BT working on a Nookie. Is this possible for the Phiremod?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897934&highlight=Bluetooth
[Nook Color Android Development] tankzar:
Everything is running completely smooth on my end here. Just to confirm, the only things im having trouble with:

- Youtube app (desktop site works fine, but a little choppy at times)

- XDA/HoFo (Tapatalk apps) get a FC when I try to sign in

- Video playback works well through rockplayer but not 100% smooth

- Was having issues with Maps, but changing my density fixed that

- FC when I try to purchase an app from Market

Thanks phiredrop and others!
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
Love this mod. Just having an issue connecting it to the PC. It won't recognize the nook, just the SD card. Is that just me?:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] Kendr1ck:
How in the hell did you get Youtube to work? I set my user agent in Dolphin to Desktop, but everytime I go to youtube.com and try to watch a video, it says I need to have flash installed. Same thing with default browser. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the app from the market, to no avail.

Are you on v4.1 of phiremod? Also, are you using a specific kernel, or the included kernel?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to recreate whatever you did to get youtube working.
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
I believe you have to manually install the Flash .apk file to get Flash installed. Go to system>app and then double click in Flash app to install. Has to be done after every reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] macruadhi:
I am kind of a noob at this, I've successfully flashed my Vibrant several times with no problems. But I rooted the nook, all went well. Then went on to flash it with the ext4 CW image, then flashed phiremod 4.1. It booted well, I ran it for a few hours, then turned it off. Then it refused to boot again, flashed it again with the the images needed to get it to rooted stock. I just want to make sure that I am doing everything in the correct order. I formatted /system, /cache, /data as in the instructions, but after I did I got "Can't open E:/"*"/recovery_logs" or something like that, I rebooted before I remembered to write it down.

Thanks

Make sure you have clicked on the All tab in Applications and find Google Services Framework. Sorry that I wasn't more specific...

thanks for the posting.i can't wait for the video to work.

Can't wait for it to be built off the nightly that enabled bluetooth!
[Nook Color Android Development] jimi5:
Has anyone tried flashing the new CM7 kernel with BT (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451). I did, but I can't enable bluetooth. This is on the 4.0 ROM
[Nook Color Android Development] escabar:
Testing this ROM. Looks great so far. Instructions were very clear and I paritioned my SD card before ROM install to use ext3 + swap. Can't wait to see CM7 latest build BT support in the next Phiremod release.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
SDcard Format ?

Silly question ..... but can I format a SDcard safely under this copy of Froyo ??

I have heard yes and no. If the answer is no, how else can I format it to be NC compatible ?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] notinterested:
This is not froyo and no, it will format the boot partition if you try.

You can use a computer to format it just format to fat32.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
So when is phire going to update his ROM again???
[Nook Color Android Development] cowballz69:
I can't get ultra keyboard to show properly. Shows up in a small screen. Anyone know of a fix for this?
[Nook Color Android Development] tjleeland:
Thanks!

I just wanted to thank phiredrop and everyone else that had a hand in building this ROM.

I went out and bought a iPad 1 and a Xoom last week so I could get a handle on what's happening in the tablet world. I bought a Nook Color at the same time just to play around with it, given that it's just $250. Before I even installed this ROM I soon realized that it's size and weight gave it a great advantage over the heavier iPad and Xoom.

Now that I've installed phiremod, the NC is the device I go to most often, at least while sitting on the couch in my house. The others are too heavy and bulky, while the NC can be held with one hand all ****ing day.

I know I'm not telling anyone here anything new, but this form-factor kicks ass. And at $250 a pop, it gives everyone a chance to have a great wifi-enabled 7" Android tablet.

Thanks again!
[Nook Color Android Development] nicatronTg:
Anyone make this work with dual booting or no?
[Nook Color Android Development] thunderstruck!:
Hoping to see some more development on this ROM, like to deal with the wi fi issue, but for now this will be my go to device to control my Logitech Revue.
[Nook Color Android Development] DiscoPh3v3r:
Awesome. lol.

but on topic...

I wish phire would update phiremod again :D but I don't really care since I don't use bluetooth, but still, I want to be up to date. I understand though, some people do have social lives, and with spring break, I'm not going to be on my nook much anyways :DDDD
[Nook Color Android Development] dawynkoop:
Wallpapers

Any way to get the wallpapers to show properly. Seems like every background I apply looks grainy and pixelated. On the stock Barnes and Noble interface I finally managed to get the backgrounds to look perfect, but not having much luck here.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Thanks folks - and don't worry, phiremod is not dead :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Right on !!!! I just love it.

Thanks again ....and people dont forget to donate if you like it and use it. I know I did. And I have NO affiliation with the creator I just love his work and time he puts into it.

Keep um coming !
[Nook Color Android Development] summerblink:
what size of images are you using? that makes a big difference . . . to have it fit perfectly, you'll probably need to edit them to the appropriate size. however, i have neither the time nor patience to do so :-) so i just did a google search for the image i wanted (a Range Murata drawing) and tried till i found one that fit!
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Awesome! I loved it. I'm on the bluetooth CM7 now for teh luls.
[Nook Color Android Development] Adam_v1:
I know exactly what you are talking about, I took a bunch of high quality wallpapers from my computer and tried to set them through the gallery and they all looked terrible.

From what I have been able to tell when you set a wallpaper through the gallery it actually saves a edited copy of the image and since the gallery can only work in a 16 bit color space it saves it with only 65536 different colors and hence looks terrible with blocky, pixelated, and banded images.

The workaround I found was to edit the images on a computer so they are already the right dimensions of 1200x1024 and then use the ES File Explorer image viewer to set the image as a wallpaper and I actually get good looking images that fit exactly as they should. If the images you have that you want to set are smaller than 1200x1024 I would highly recommend scaling them up with your favorite image editing program on a desktop to make them look better, android on its own will do a poor job of it.
[Nook Color Android Development] dawynkoop:
The images are already 1200x1024, when I select them in Gallery the selector fits the image properly. I'll give it a shot using file explorer to select the wallpaper instead. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] xBryan:
i use wallpaper set and save from the market
[Nook Color Android Development] Sliceburg:
I was able to install the new Swype Beta apk but cannot get it to recognize swypes. just keep getting this message:

"swype package is configured for another device...."

Over at the Swype forums, I saw Brian Resnik had this to say:

"Unfortunately Swype BETA requires a valid telephony stack. That means that we require a cellular radio because it's the only reliable way to get a unique hardware identifier for that device. You may be able to emulate a telephony stack on the Nook Color, but I've got no information on how one might do that."

So sorry for the Noobish question but is there a way to emulate a telephony stack with Phiremod 4.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] bartonkt:
When choosing wallpapers, I was being a noob and only using the initial small rectangle it gives you. Make sure to expand that out to contain the entire picture. No clue if you were being as clueless as I was, but I only figured that out a week ago :)

And I also managed to fix my weird wifi issues, by installing Wifi buddy and setting the Wifi to never go to sleep. I'm sure that the battery is being adversely drained a touch more than usual, but its brilliant to turn the nook on and immediately be able to use it. Hops right on the network when I walk into work/home too.
[Nook Color Android Development] cowballz69:
im not getting any FPS over 39 with fps2d app, i also played quake which shows the fps and not hittting anything over 40 there either, However using a stock rooted nook it does hit around 59fps with both apps
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
You could always try "SlideIT"
[Nook Color Android Development] Sliceburg:
Thanks for the generic response
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Just wondering if anyone else besides me has been having problems updating apps in the market.

I've been trying to update Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and the XDA app, and every time they download and try installing it is unsuccessful.

Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] harlot011104:
This rom is the shiz! Everything world like a charm, not having most of the problems others are having, just the stuff that was already explained by OP: youtube and Rez issues and my vids are a bit choppy hope the bluetooth range gets worked out so that can be used in this rom. (the new slide it that came out for tablets today works like a charm btw you should give it a try) can't wait for next release!
[Nook Color Android Development] the tree:
This mod is awesome.

I have been using it for 2 days non stop, but I have one issue....how do I adjust the volume? the volume buttons on the side just brings up the menus.
[Nook Color Android Development] Brett8187:
I'm having issues with the volume buttons... they don't control the volume, did I miss something?
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
Volume buttons are remapped on purpose. To change this, use NookKeys app.

Trust me, you'll get used to and appreciate the back and menu buttons there. but to each their own!
[Nook Color Android Development] phfaty:
Can I install this on my autonootered nook color through rom manager?
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
No. Follow the instructions on the first post. This wipes your internal memory. It doesn't run off stock eclair like autonooter does.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Anyone????
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Along these same lines, if I have an AutoNooter'd 1.0.0 stock NC, can I use the same install method in the instructions? I mean, will this install CWR all over again? That'd be fine since the version I have right now refuses to mount the SD card.

Also, if I install this, do I still have root access/ADB/sideloading, etc.? I'm just trying to decide, so thanks for any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Have you tried clearing your Market cache?
[Nook Color Android Development] phfaty:
It actually worked! I had a previously autonootered 1.0.1 Nook Color stock with Rom Manger installed. I downloaded the 1.1.0 Nook Color B&N update image from these forums, installed through Rom Manager, then installed Phiremod V4.1 through Rom Manager. Everything works so far except Flash.

Thanks to the Creator of Phiremod.
[Nook Color Android Development] bartonkt:
Just wait when Phiredrop builds a new version, we'll get bluetooth + video capability ^^

Loving the progress of CM7 for the Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] ingenue007:
in preperation for the new files that will include bluetooth and video, what is the best way to upgrade versions and keep settings/apps?

should i backup with titanium back up (just apps and perhaps browser bookmarks)?

do i wipe data/system then install new version?

thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] ecash:
So just to be extra clear, you flashed phiremod over the 1.1 rooted update that's in this forum? I only ask because I'm on 1.1 and I want to try one of the CM builds, and I already have the latest CWR and a formatted SD card. Do you mind PMing me when you get a chance?
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Tried that this morning and still having the same issues. Some apps are updating just fine, but others won't.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Honestly, i think people having problems really owe it to themselves to drop this version, and go back to the official nightlys. ALOT has been fixed since V8, and it seems like the updates are only coming faster. As it is, the nightly builds aren't really meant to be static, so it seems silly to use such a customized build right now, when so much keeps changing.
[Nook Color Android Development] daverod:
ok, you've convinced me.....FLASHING!
[Nook Color Android Development] thunderstruck!:
You should say "Nandroiding...then flashing."
[Nook Color Android Development] phfaty:
I already had a rooted 1.1, I flashed phiremod v4.1 with CWR latest version (cleared cache and apps) rebooted and it worked!
[Nook Color Android Development] sebanoel:
i like phiremod as it was my first cm7 :)

When we will have nightly build stabilized, i will certainly reinstall it.
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
so I can flash this on my nook like I do roms on my evo? straight from recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
V5 is now out. Sorry for the delay. I've been working on building some things from source and it was taking longer than I expected. I'll just save them for the final release :)

Please see the changelog for details.
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
YOU THE MAN!!!!! Thanks Phiredrop!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
getting a 404 on the v5 link

edit: works from pc, didnt work from evo with opera 10.1 browser
[Nook Color Android Development] DizDroid:
Will this fit on 2GB SD with the new version?
[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
im on nightly 17 but im going to give yours a shot. I like some of the changes on the changelog
[Nook Color Android Development] Kendr1ck:
Is this based off of nightly 21 or Dalingrin's DEV build which implemented DSP support? I only ask because I know the DSP changes did not make it into nightly 21 and your change log doesn't specify the nightly number (just the date), nor does it mention DSP support.

Either way, thanks for the update!
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
Loaded CWM .06, formated just /SYSTEM (came from v4.1), flashed zip, BOOM! in business! Donating now. Keep up the good work
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Update time !

.

Another update !!! And as always it is working just like it should!

Thank you for your work on this project. Time to donate again :rolleyes:

Cheers!!

[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
So, If I do this with the last version installed, what will I lose? I'm still new at this and I've been flashing new roms, but I have this one all set up how I want now. I'd definitely like the benefits of a new CM7 nightly, however. Thanks!

Also, I guess what I'm asking is can I do the following and have it work?:

1. Put phiremod-V5.tar.gz on root SD

2. Boot into CWR

3. Clear the /system

4. Flash phiremod-V5.tar.gz

I'd love to keep my apps and settings, but hey, I understand if that's asking a bit too much!
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Nightly 21 - not Dalingrin's Dev build. It's been noted on the OP. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] yerand:
does this update require a wipe?
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
The instructions at the beginning say there is no need to, but I'm just trying to clarify the language to make sure I don't mess anything up, ha.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Does your V5 build actually play flash (with audio in sync?) I only ask because I see it in the changelog, and with darlington's test (as well as r19) and his OCd kernel, flash 10.2 does not play audio (although video is smoother).
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
I should have tested more. I can't actually get it working at all. Sorry folks. I'll update the OP.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nooter:
I'm seeing an error coming from v4 (typed out here):

Any idea what could be wrong? Should I wipe?
[Nook Color Android Development] RobertsDF:
Looks like there is a problem with the zip file. Redonload and try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
May very well be a problem with .zip, but since that is the wrong CWM, it wouldn't matter, even if the .zip was fine. Use 3.0.1.0 (with correct kernel, not from RM.)

Sent from my PC36100
[Nook Color Android Development] the_chinaman:
In the gz file, the tarball is labelled as v4.1. The date of it is 14 March, so is the dl the wrong file or is it labelled wrong? Also, with the date of the 14th March is it based on Cyanogen nightly 19 rather than 21?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I got the same errors.

He is right the problem is mostly likely you are using CWM 3.0.0.5 when you use Rom Manager to boot into recovery from a Eclair or Froyo that uses a different format then cm7 (gingerbread) does.

I was lucky my install data disk also had cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip on it. By using 3.0.0.5 I could install the cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip and reboot me into 3.0.1.0.

Then the install went perfect.
[Nook Color Android Development] crnkoj:
hey man, thanks for all the work

i just installed the v5 version and saw some degradation from v4.0 i used before, namely:

keyboard wouldnt show up sometimes than i have to reboot the device to get it to show (that happened in the wireless settings, when i tried to put in my wifi pass), the search function doesnt work in the market (i tried both the magnifier on the right top and through the "options" and than search, it just wouldnt show up), ive set the cpu to 1000mhz as always and it feels its more sluggish than on the v4.0 version with same 1000mhz. it seems now that i cant get the bt to turn on either and i tried to reboot several times. i did do a wipe of the system and data partitions before installing it

keep up the good work!

edit: after the 5th reboot the bluetooth started working, i managed to connect an apple bluetooth keyboard without a problem (range is around 2-3 meters without any obstacles inbetween), and even the cant get search bar in market disappeared, so now i can search aswell.
[Nook Color Android Development] ingenue007:
since 10.2 doesn't work, does anyone have a link for 10.1 apk?

thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
I installed this last night and it seems to be working just fine, but the battery percentage at the top seems to be off all the time and it sort of jumps 2-5 percent at a time randomly. Is this just the nature of these sorts of things?

Thanks, though, this all seems great so far.
[Nook Color Android Development] escabar:
I was able to download and install Flash 10.1 from marketplace after flashing V5
[Nook Color Android Development] escabar:
Flashed V5 late last night, but have not had the chance to work with it extensively. I did notice a considerable improvement in performance (coming from v4.1).

Could not turn on bluetooth. Trying to read deeper into this and the bluetooth thread. Will try a few reboots tonight as others have described, otherwise will resort to wiping data. The performance improvement alone has got me excited!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
Yea, you could download and install, but does it actually work? lol all my browsers (dolphin, skyfire, etc) say that the flash plugin needs to be installed. Even though it is.... smh.
[Nook Color Android Development] DiscoPh3v3r:
Man, this sucks lol I just swithed from Phiremod to the latest nightly! haha guess it's time to go back :D

I just hate reinstalling everything >.< Thankfully Google does that for you by restoring some of your apps :DDDD
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
Use Titanium Backup. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Do you use the pro version of TB and batch restore your apps? Also do you use ADW backup and restore it settings?

What about the data and preference of your apps?
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
yes, titanium restores all those settings and data, even puts my widgets back on the homescreen where I had them
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
Personally I'd use My Backup PRO instead of Titanium. I have both and IMO MBPro is much better then TB for backups and restores. Just personal preference tho I guess.
[Nook Color Android Development] gutowscr471:
Flash Player

So I assume flash is still a problem (youtube, cnn, etc). Doesn't work at all. Just says "There was a problem while playing - Touch to retry". Any fixes for this yet?

EDIT: CNN works, just very choppy. Any reason why youtube doesn't work?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldweasel:
I have had an issue where under CM7 and this release the nook will get to a point where it won't reboot fully, just shows the "future of reading" logo and won't go any further, anyone else had this issue?

The only way to get around it that I've found is to re-image, wondering what might be causing the issue, I always format system / data / cache everytime I re-image, and have even re-formatted the SD card the past few times.

Not sure if it's related, when I recently restored the nook to "system" (using the 8 bootup interrupt method) it did the same thing, could there be some defect with my nook itself?

Tried to do a thread and forums search for this issue but found nothing, of course it might just be me...

Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] isoluva:
+1 here. Same thing happened to me today and once on version 4.0. Love to hear someone's thoughts as to the reason why.
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
You are not the only one i've had it happen on CM7 nightlies plenty of times, and also earlier versions of Phiremods builds. It's not the device that I do know. Its something with the /boot partition getting corrupted for an unknown reason. As an exampe the other day I redid my Nook wiht a new CM7 nightly. Had to leave for a bit but everythign was fine when I left as I had just fully set up the Nook. Came back a bit later and my Wifi was hung so I went to reboot and low and behold it wouldn't boot like you mention. I then powered it down and put my bootable sdcard back in and boot into CWR from the card. Right over the top i installed the EXACT same nightly file and everything was back to normal. It held up for over a week until I went and tried reboot it for whatever reason.
[Nook Color Android Development] akarol:
WTF! No Market installed in my installation of V5. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] Brett8187:
no it should be right there on the main screen
[Nook Color Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Nice no button mapping. That was way annoying. Will flasg later tonight.
[Nook Color Android Development] cyansmoker:
Reminder, if you are unable to enable Bluetooth:

ROM Manager > Fix Permissions > Reboot

(not even sure reboot is needed) :)
