Thanks for the RC4 based v5.3 phiredrop!

This is what I do with every update:

1. Create a nandroid backup of the old ROM

2. Backup system and app data with Titanium Backup (just in case)

3. Plug it in to reach 100% charge level

4. Boot into CWR (via bootable SD)

5. Wipe cache / Wipe Dalvik cache

6. Install phiremod 5.X from zip

7. Once it boots up, let it sit for 5 minutes

8. Start market and check "My Apps". They are all there but shown as "Free / Purchased"

9. Kill Market app via Advanced Task Manager, open Titanium Backup, select Market and hit "Wipe Data"

10. Launch market, tap on "Accpet" and check "My apps". Now, everything is shown as "Installed"

11. Uninstall Adobe Flash Player and re-install it from the Market to get it "integrated" in to DolphinHD browser

12. Reboot and enjoy the new, updated Phiremod ROM (There is nothing else to change, update, etc; all my apps and data remain intact) :D

After the first boot, I received a FC message, I believe it was "Txxx Clock" (don't remember it exactly); however, it went away after a reboot. The rest is just fine so far! Youtube is smooth, video playback is perfect using 3 different media players. Needles to say, this is getting better and better!
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Thanks for that small walk-through ! I am sure a lot of people will memorize it soon : )

Cheers!
[Nook Color Android Development] droiddog:
Thanks for the rom. It's working great. I've got hulu running and everything.

One question, for some reason when the battery max charges, it only says 95% under the batter meter. Also, it seems to deplete faster than it probably is. Is anyone else having inaccuracies with the batter? I tried wiping the battery data in recovery, but it didn't make a difference. Thanks for everything.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
I just charged mine and it showed 100% in the status bar. I'll report back regarding whether the battery drain is different compared to 5.2
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
OK... Here is the app that is force closing: TypoClock (process com.semicuda.typoclock).

I went ahead and uninstalled the Typo Clock.

I tried flashing to 5.3 with a clean CWR card after formatting Davlik/system/cache and it just hangs at the "touch the android to begin" screen. I can access the other functions (notifications, wifi, language) without any trouble. It's registering the presses but not going to the next step. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
You need to tap the four corners. Will find video link and edit.

Thanks! I got my NC just a few days ago so I'm still learning all these little Android quirks.

thank you so much for the quick guide, very helpful !!

Awesome! Everything seems to be working great for me. Finally YouTube works like its suppose to. Best build yet! Thanks again to all involved!

My new Nook

Thanks for the advices. In the afternoon, I went to the mall and brought my new Nook Color that's ready to be rooted and then a little treatment of primemod V5.3. Wish me luck!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] Dragracekid:
How stable is this build? And is it fast?
[Nook Color Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Do you have to do reading on nook app? Are magazines and book showing up on this build?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Does hardware accelerated video work? I'm assuming it does because there are benchmarks posted here.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Unless phiremod has done something to make it work then no. Our initial test build of CM7 does not have DSP accelerated codecs. We're working on this now.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
thanks for this

i am trying to flash CWM to emmc so i can boot into recovery without an SDcard, but i cant get it to work?

any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] bburkhar:
Apps in Market

Is anyone else not having basic apps show up in market. Such apps as facebook?
[Nook Color Android Development] sunsurfer42:
I don't even have a market!:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] bburkhar:
you have to flash the gapps zip. After flashing it tries to install apps you select from gapps setup and it tells you not found.
[Nook Color Android Development] sunsurfer42:
I have flashed the gapps zip to no avail. Nothing new shows up when I reboot. Maybe I'm not doing it right. Flash the Gapps.zip from the CWM Recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] bburkhar:
This ROM would be amazing if I could see the apps in the market. Didn't have this trouble with froyo .6.7
[Nook Color Android Development] sunsurfer42:
anybody have any ideas as to why I have no market and the gapps aren't working for me? Thanks in advance. This ROM really flies, I love it!
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
It's because Market access isn't working properly in this build. The CM team knows this. They said it is fixed in an upcoming build.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
same, cant get gapps here.. when i hvae managed to get a vending.apk in the system/app folder, the market FCs instantly upon trying to open it
[Nook Color Android Development] cantellay:
Same Issue

I am having the same problem, I flash the gapps.zip and get nothing.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
LOL!

No, no you aren't. I have seen people mention it in other threads too.

Adblock for him!!
[Nook Color Android Development] bburkhar:
Thank you very much. Good to know it is a known problem. I will definitely stay on this rom and wait for phiremod to release an update.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Another vote for bootable SD card here.

Kids have lots of the books that only work on the NC software.

NOT the nook for android software.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jamdat33:
I have tried your method SEVERAL times and my nook will boot into the CWR, and installs the rom fine but the nook NEVER boots. It only boots when there is an sd card in there. I know this is not a brick but i have yet to figure out any way to run a rom without the sd card..
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
I don't believe it is possible.

WARNING:

This WILL NOT work on stock NookColor OS.

It is ONLY compatible with EXT4 partitioning of the internal storage.

If you use this to backup or install anything to your stock NookColor OS, I can't make any promises about what might happen...

That came out of this thread:

The point behind Cyanogen on the nook is to get rid of everything B&N, and make it straight up Android.

thanks!!
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
hrm.. is it me or when i try to download some games from market.. i get the "unexpected force close error" such as for Tap Tap 4 free
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
I just went ahead and installed Tap Tap Revenge 4 (free) to test... It installs fine, but it FC every time. I wonder if this is specific to the game and/or ROM?

EDIT: Installed few other games/apps, and they all worked fine. So, I dont know...

Superuser problems

I am having a ton of force closes on anything that uses SU. Anyone else?
[Nook Color Android Development] DiscoPh3v3r:
And remember to keep that box! haha
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Button Savior, Titanium Backup, Samba file share, etc all work fine on my NC (they require SU). Can you be more specific as to what is FCing on your NC?
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
hey tenderidol! that name sounds familiar :P

yeah it just force closes on me... :(
[Nook Color Android Development] stwallman:
I'm actually getting an FC just trying to open SU. Whenever some applications call for SU, I'm also getting FC's.

I just wiped system, data, cache, dalvik cache and am trying to install again.

ADW.Launcher Dock Size

I could swear that when I first launched ADW after installing 5.3 that the "dock" allowed for more than 5 icons (similar to Zeam). Or was I just dreaming ?
[Nook Color Android Development] yuugotserved:
nah it's still 5 :P
[Nook Color Android Development] Ryukou:
Let me see, if I can do it. When I finish to install the rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] MXIIA:

How do I fix this? I checked the md5 sum and it matches exactly, I'm merely putting the .zip on my SD card and installing via CWM

I will but not sure how to take screen shots ?
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
SDers unite! Where is dzap? :D

All of my "already installed" applications work fine, but when I install some new ones to just try them out, I am getting FCs from some of them. Then again, I remember seeing similar stuff on 5.2 when I installed games from Amazon android app.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Since I haven't seen a screen capture utility for CM7, I am guessing this will involve taking an "exterior" picture with a camera.

I'll setup my dSLR and give this a shot soon and PM them to phiredrop.

Hey man, was having the same problem, dug around a bit and got it to work.

I followed this (more or less): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11452450&postcount=22

Downloaded the SD Recovery Image.

Burned the .img to my SD card (and like an idiot erased a few backups).

Copied the phiremod nook V5.3 rar to the newly formatted SD.

Threw it in the Nook, booted up.

Wiped, installed .zip.

Rebooted.

Bingo, bango.

From what I read, this error is the result of one of two things, your zip was corrupted (check against md5 hash), or you're using the wrong version of CWM. I'm assuming you were trying with 3.0.0.5 like I was... this install method let's you boot into 3.0.0.6 from SD.

Good luck.

I looked at the release notes for v5.3 but didn't see anything about performance on video.

I'm currently running v5.2 and the CPU set to 1.1 GHz, but video and YouTube isn't that smooth. (And no, it's not the network :D )

Any config parameters I should change?
[Nook Color Android Development] supersoulfly:
Haven't used phiremod for awhile now. Very pleased with 5.3. Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] Hubmanx:
Force Close issues :

Not sure , but I read on the boards somewhere that launcher pro .8.4 was causing force close issues . I know it was the problem for me running rooted eclair 2.1 + overclock. Solution was to go to launcher pro website , download .8.3 apk , uninstall .8.4 and then install .8.3 .

I also see now that launcher pro has updated launcher pro to .8.4.1 . maybe updating to this version will cure the force closes.
[Nook Color Android Development] seandalton0:
Might be the case, I've been running ADW EX for a bit now, and I haven't had a single FC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Neptune5k:
I finally got around to giving phiremod a shot this weekend and I can't thank you enough! This build is very fast and video playback works well, keep up the great work.

Phiredrop, once you get tablet tweaks in your rom, this is hands down going to be the best out there for the Nook. Keep up the great work!
[Nook Color Android Development] dzap:
I've wiped three times now and still can't get this to really work where I want. I think I'm going to have to go back to phiremod 5.1 (skipped 5.2). I have no idea what is going on. My Wi-Fi will not connect..bluetooth doesn't even want to turn on. I have rebooted three times now. One of my themes in theme manager doesn't show up, killing the experience. What changed so much with 5.3, that everything went haywire?!?

I guess I'll wait for 5.4. I loved this up until 5.3. I've been messing with it all day yesterday/today and cannot get basic functionality to work, that used to work flawlessly.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
You wiped /system, /data, and cache then flashed?
[Nook Color Android Development] dzap:
I did not wipe cache. Thought about it since it's what I usually do, but since phire said to follow the updated instructions in the OP, I did not.

My nice Honeybread theme doesn't work anyway (not the main one from a developer..a different one customized by a user), so I'm trying 5.2 now. If 5.2 doesn't work, I'll hop back to 5.1. 5.1 was near perfect for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] dzap:
Okay so wiped data, system, cache, and 5.2..still the same..theme won't show up in Theme Chooser after I restore from Titanium (it restored but it'll just skip over it for some reason...something changed between 5.1 and 5.2 I suppose..).

I'm just reinstalling 5.1 now and restoring my nandroid backup. I'll try again when phire implements the bottom status bar. Because I feel like I'm having to start from scratch again with 5.2/5.3 (which I was planning to do, if everything worked fine/restored correctly).
[Nook Color Android Development] nerdtaco:
Thanks for all your hard work, Phiredrop!

I'm only having 2 issues so far:

XDA App FCs when I try and open a thread. I fixed permissions and it didn't appear to do anything.

My second issue is Flash. I removed flash in 5.2, flashed 5.3 and installed Flash through market, and I still get a lego brick.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
I just had a chance to work in 5.3 some more and am having Market issues. IT seems after a reboot I lost My Apps. If I reboot again the purchased apps show up, but I am missing the other installed apps. I was seeing everything and now I am not. Anyone else seeing this in 5.3?
[Nook Color Android Development] s22lane:
by wipe /data /system....do you mean format or "wipe data/factory reset"..sorry im a noob...got the whole D2 process down...struggling with this one for some reason...
[Nook Color Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Just wanna say, I decided to purchase a Nook yesterday after opting out of buying a knock off epad from China. I must say, this device kicks ass. I installed this rom and have been a pig in **** ever since. I was amazed at all this little "e-reader" could do after reading and watching many reviews. Now that I have it in hand, WOW! Anyone know of any add-ons now that it has BT? Such as speakers, keyboards or anything cool?

I also noticed that using Pandora or Winamp, music seems to skip when swiping here and there. Any ideas? Not to be a pain, one last question...I have the volume keys mapped to menu, and back. Is it possible to edit it where long pressing the volume keys still adjusts the volume?
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
This is how upgrade each time. #9 & 10 may help you.

1. Create a nandroid backup of the old ROM

2. Backup system and app data with Titanium Backup (just in case)

3. Plug it in to reach 100% charge level

4. Boot into CWR (via bootable SD)

5. Wipe cache / Wipe Dalvik cache

6. Install phiremod 5.X from zip

7. Once it boots up, let it sit for 5 minutes

8. Start market and check "My Apps". They are all there but shown as "Free / Purchased"

9. Kill Market app via Advanced Task Manager, open Titanium Backup, select Market and hit "Wipe Data"

10. Launch market, tap on "Accpet" and check "My apps". Now, everything is shown as "Installed"

11. Uninstall Adobe Flash Player and re-install it from the Market to get it "integrated" in to DolphinHD browser

12. Reboot and enjoy the new, updated Phiremod ROM (There is nothing else to change, update, etc; all my apps and data remain intact)
[Nook Color Android Development] psoulos:
Is there a way to set the default dock to the dockbar? Whenever I reboot, the dockbar is minimized so I need to open it.
[Nook Color Android Development] psoulos:
I had a similar problem. The options to wipe data and system are actually under the mount menu in CWR.
[Nook Color Android Development] s22lane:
so wipe means to format....correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] psoulos:
Yes, formatting and wiping are the same thing.
[Nook Color Android Development] insaneturbo13:
lol "dont forget to format before you leave the bathroom"

but back on topic: xda app is not working for me either, fresh install from stock, i just bought my nook yesterday so i havent really got used to it yet, i have a captivate with cm7 on it as well though,

xda installs and i can sign in and look at the thread titles, but as soon as i open one it fc's
[Nook Color Android Development] gnice18:
First off phiremod thanks for all your hard work. Until yesterday was running 5.1 and was very happy. did not switch to 5.2. with 5.3 I have done restores and clean installs with no backup done, still having problems with a limited number of apps not installing. under some conditions apps don't show up in market, sometimes they do but give me the missing shared library install error. So far its Yelp, Picplz, and weather bug free. they do not install with titanium backup either. besides this, the Rom is a great daily driver.
[Nook Color Android Development] digitalicecream:
Just tried installing this on my nook. Using clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 I get an error. I checked the MD5, its correct. Error is:

E:Error in /sdcard/phiremod-nook-v5.3.zip

Installation aborted.

And that's it. Nookie sits there waiting on a kind soul to point me in the right direction.

Can anyone help?

I have been reading on here a lot lately and went out purchased 2 NC. 1 for the wife (No Rooting) and 1 for me (bring on the rooting). Anyway I got everything working as expected. Is there a reason why some marketplace apps show up in the browser but when clicked on it, says can not find. I also go to marketplace apps and do a search on the NC and the app is not listed.

I have tried to uninstall the marketplace updates and clear cache and data in the application settings. Everytime I do that I click on marketplace and it asks me to accept or decline. I select accept then it brings me back to homescreen. I then open up marketplace again and the same thing happens.

I am specifically looking for MLB at Bat 2011 if that helps.

Again great job on the roms. I used to come on here a lot back in the day with my HTC. I then got sucked into the iPhone stuff. and now I am back.

[Nook Color Android Development] dzap:
Went back to 5.1 and everything is working to my liking again. I am not really sure what major changes were made in 5.2/5.3 that caused such trouble.

Also a small pet peeve of mine is why are the button styles still based on froyo when this should be based off gingerbread? It's something I've noticed and I'm not sure how I can change it or skin it. Does anyone know how?
[Nook Color Android Development] whiffer2:
did you wipe first or install overtop?

have you done two hard reboots? holding the power button in until it powers off, not using the menu.

Anybody else use Google Reader for RSS feeds?

My issue is with the display once I select a specific article within reader, its is full display size in-app until I select an article. I have had this issue for the past few versions of the rom. I always wipe first :) If i play with screen density things get worse. Just thought I would mention it, its just a minor issue.

Love this rom, love my Nook
[Nook Color Android Development] whiffer2:
I would start fresh.

Get into Clockwork

1) wipe system

2) wipe data

3) wipe cache

4) Flash latest Phiremod

5) Let it fully load, get 2 hard reboots

6) Let us know

NOTE: I have been running WPA/WPA2 encryption on my network with no issues on the nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] arcmanov:
I'm having an issue (I think) with the installation.

I installed 5.3 via CWM 3.0.0.5, and rebooted, but the NC would keep booting back into the CWM menu. I then powered down the NC, removed the SD-card and booted again.

I got the little, green 'Android', then a screen with a fancy blue Android logo, with a white circle of light tracing around it........and it's been like that for the past 20 minutes.

Should I have booted it up without the SD-card?

Do I have to start over?

I hope I haven't bricked the thing.
[Nook Color Android Development] eespiritu:
You can't really brick the nook color. Lol, i would try again, but download the new CWR 3.0.6.0 or above (3.0.1.0). I would wipe everything but boot too. I think that's your problem. Make sure to take out your SD card or it will always go to CWR. You can take it out before you select reboot. Good luck!
[Nook Color Android Development] bartonkt:
Wiped /system before installing from 4.x, seems to be working great!

I used the limited TV Shows Stream Lite. It functions, for example old episode of Monk, gave this message: "High Definition Video not optimized for mobile". Video is very slightly choppy, but very watchable.

Did you notice this with any videos? Did you notice any one type of server listed that are better than others type of servers? Did you sometime reconnect using a different server of the same type?

Anybody have any comments? The lite version is free, try it out and post your comments. I am thinking about purchasing it, but still have some concerns.
