Choppy Youtube Videos...Please HELP!

The youtube video on this build are choppy for me. I has Phiremod 6.1 previously. It used to work well.

Did a clean install to V7. Wiped everything/ Formatted system, data, cache, Dalvic Cache.

Then flashed the Phiremod v7 test zip file+ Gapps. Did NOT flash overclock kernel, since I don’t want to overclock the nook. I have the CPU at 925 MAX and 300 min.

Everything is SUPER except Youtube video playback. Almost all videos are choppy with frames slower than normal. (running youtube desktop site on miren browser).

I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Fixed permissions twice using ROM manager. Uninstalled, and reinstalled – browser, flash etc. Reflashed the Phiremod Test 7 build. No luck so far!

This NEVER happened to me in Phiremod 6.1, because I used to watch tons videso on youtube and the playback was smooth..

Can I flash something else and make this problem go away?
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Just to make sure, you are having this problem when you go to youtube.com and play clips via browser+flash, correct? If so, how is the playback with the YouTube application? Normally, YouTube app works a lot better than relying on the browser. As a side note, YouTube stops randomly in 6.3 for me (did a clean install and the result was the same). I am hoping that v7 doesn't this problem. I believe YouTube was perfect on 6.1 previously.

i could use some help i downloaded the genric sd img file from the link but the sd card img is to small to put the phiremod-nook-v7-TEST.zip on it
[Nook Color Android Development] imjimmy:
Thanks for the reply.

The playback is slightly better in the mobile application but NOT by much. But I don't use the mobile app much, because I cannot find may videos that I do easily in the regular youtube browser.

The funny thing is that I used Phiremod 6.1 previously, and the youtube browser - videos worked without ANY issues whatsoever. So you're right. 6.1 is perfect for youtube.

I know this because I watch a LOT of tennis highlights, and the ball seems going on slow motion with version 7 LOL!

BTW, I have another Nook. On that one, no phiremod, installed Nightly 107 + latest Gapps --- same issue.

Do you think Overclocking might help? Till date, I've never used Dal's OC kernels, since I find the 950 speed enough.

TIA!
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
It appears that we are having different issues with YouTube on 6.3 (e.g., I never see choppy playback, it just stops with an error message). While reading random posts around here, I ran across this thread and it fixed my problem. Who knew... :D

I'm having no trouble with Swype in v7 Test. I did, however, have an issue where it told me that I wasn't licensed, and so I uninstalled both Swype and the Swype installer, then completely reloaded and all is well.

So strange, on 7.0TEST with Dalingrin's kernel (618) my Market FC's after a certain time. If I reflash everything, it's fine. Then it craps on me. Not sure what's going on...

Hey, guys. How's video playback with the Phiremod 7 test build? I'm still waiting for the ROM with mp4 playback that's as good as stock 1.1.0. Wondering if this is it. I'm currently on Phiremod 6.3, FWIW.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I have used many of Phiremod ROMs. They are really nice. Currently using MN rooted stock 1.2 in EMMC and nightly 108 with Dal's OC kernels on a SDcard. I made an Nandroid backup of Phiremod 6.2 but have not reloaded it for awhile. Trying to remember what it was like for flash and mp4 playback, but I pretty sure playback was better with it then MN and new nightlies because of the use of the new 2.6.32 kernels in MN and nightlies. The battery life in MN and Nightlies is great and use of the usb port in nightlies for keyboards, flash drives, and other devices is where the current action is. I think when they get these things ironed out, they will work on making flash and mp4 video better. Hopefully will do more work on bluetooth as well.

Since Phiremod 7 is built on 2.6.32 kernel the video should be similiar to MN and the current nightlies. My guess is that it is not what you are looking for. Were we pretty close to stock 1.1.0 mp4 with one of Phiremod 2.6.29 kernels and some of the 2.6.29 nightlies, I just do not remember which ones. Flash was also very good at one of these places, of course stock 1.1.0 never had flash.

I have been very tempted to try the Test build but hate to give up the action in the nighties for the bells and whistles in the Test build plus I like having a MN rooted Stock 1.2 around. I am thinking the mp4, flash, bluetooth is not as good as his older version 6.2 or 6.3. I have tried to put the Test build on an SDcard but the developers have not made this work yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] eakira:
I just wanted to what an amazing ROM this v7 Test build is. Combined with D's 6/13 kernel, this is by far the best version so far. After following the straightforward instructions, everything is silky smooth and I have yet to run into any problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] BBDDPP:
I could use some help with the v7 Test Build as well. Seeing the same black screen problem as others and I am fairly technical so I just figure I missed an implied step.

I have a Clockwork boot card I typically boot from, wipe everything, then install the ROMs in order, shut down, insert non-booting SD, boot into new system.

Like a few others here, I am seeing the CynogenMod logo and then a black screen. Nothing further.

I noticed this step in the readme for v7 before any of the CWR stuff:

2. WIPE - This is a wipe only update! Use ROM Manager to install ROM from SD card - choose to wipe everything.

Is that saying there is something I need to do in ROM Manager before I can use Clockwork to install this rom? That confuses me as previously 100% of the installs could be done using a CWR boot card. If v7 requires another step first, and someone could clarify, I'd appreciate. Would sure like to try it.

Was previously using phiremod from a few month's back on here. Was sure to wipe it all (battery stats, system, boot, dalvik, etc) before installing v7.

Thanks for any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] CyanideDN:
I have not been able to enable the lockscreen with v7 test despite multiple reflashes. Followed the steps at phiremod's blog "Settings > Phiremod settings > Tablet tweaks > UNcheck ‘Disable lockscreen", chose a lockscreen style, and rebooted but it goes straight to the homescreen. This is on regular phiremod v7 test before I installed any apps. Already reflashed twice, but no good. Anybody running into the same problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] bachviet:
I ran into the same problem. I reflashed (cache/Dalvik wiped only) and it's gone.
[Nook Color Android Development] ToiletDuck555:
I have been using this rom for a while now and love it. I have had a problem trying to upgrade to the test rom. First I tried not wiping but market would fc, so tried installing gapps from a link posted earlier. On reboot I get stuck at the touch android to start screen.

I started over and did a complet 3x wipe and installed the test fresh and then gapps, same thing stuck at the touch android screen. Even tried an earlier version of gapps.

Am I doing something wrong or has anyone else had the same problem?

[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hey Phiremod,

Once launcher pro settings are restored, the "Mail'd" app is non existent? I take it that is the Notion Ink email app. But I don't see it anywhere in the /system folder either. Also market fails to launch. So I pushed the original from the Cyanogen site and it worked fine. Did you do any tweaks to the google apps itself?

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Racks, if you're referring to the test build, the notes say that the email app was not included.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
What note are you referring to? Missed that I guess.. Thank you for pointing it out. :D

Sorry for not seeing that earlier - but you guys handled it quite well ;)

[Nook Color Android Development] ToiletDuck555:
I need to learn how to read.......went into rom manager and downloaded gapps from there and it works just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Well since I have your attention. :D

I'm trying to prep your rom for an SD install, but for some reason, it no likey the gapps you included when I flash it, could be a permissions issue with the files when I extracted them. But when I flash the gapps from Cyanogen, they work fine. Guess I'll just include those with the flashable zip.

And thank you as well for your contributions. :)

Thanks,

I reflashed a bunch of times and it never worked. Then out of curiosity I flash the google app 6/13/11 package instead of the google app package that came with the v7 test tar file.... and the damn lockscreen shows up. Beats me why this is the case, but I'm just happy it worked.
[Nook Color Android Development] sc37:
I've read a million things the last couple hours and I give up on reading more so here are a couple questions.

-I finally tried 6.3 and 7 today. I'm on 7 right now with the latest kernel. Do I need to use the Nook Tweaks app at all? The 1200 ghz shows up just fine in Phiremod settings.

-I just tried to flash my buddies new Nook to 6.3 and also 7. However whatever I do, it just hangs on the screen with the little 'Android_" in the corner. He is coming from 1.2 rooted while my flash came from Phiremod 6.0. What gives? This is the thing that I've been trying to figure out allllll night.

thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukaza:
I was able to push v7 using CWD sdcard, but the apps didn't install correctly. So I reflash v7 using the CWD sdcard again (wipe /system /cache etc). Boot into CM7 and run rom-manager and install the CWM as instructed. Then I put the app on the regular sdcard where CWM is installed and boot into recovery mode from rom-manager, apply the apps and everthing works.

Using SDcard for V7 Test, usb keyboards - flash drives

See these post for using v7 Test off an SDcard with OC, usb keyboards, and usb flash drives.

Installing on sd card, I used a SDcard backup of my nightly 108 but any recent should work, it will destroy that ones operating systems plus applications, but preserve all the data on partition 4 (Used on a pc Win32DiskImager to burn backup img and then use it again to create a copy of my current SDcard with nightly 108)

Music app for Phiremod

The music app with the Test v7 version does not recognize my music folder on my SDcard. Was there in your earlier version a music player that would recognize and catalog files on the SDcard? I have downloaded PowerAmp 15 day trial. It works nicely but is a paid app. Anybody have any music app recommendations for SDcards?

Can I apply a CyanogenMod daily over this?

I am running the test build, but as many of you know, there are some wireless issues that were fixed with a newer CyanogenMod daily build. I also can't seem to get netflix working either, but they might be related...

In both cases, I think a newer CyanogenMod build will fix it. If I just apply that over Phiremod, what happens? Will it still all work?

(Be gentile, I am not new to android, but I am new to running custom ROMS, especially on the SD card, like I am now...)

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
If you are running PM on an SD card, you won't be able to "apply" CM7 over it, since you can only run one ROM at a time, so you can either run PH, or CM7

You can always add CM7 build to your SD card & try it out to see what the differences are between them. Definitely the wifi & Netflix issues are pretty much squashed in the newer nightlies
[Nook Color Android Development] gthirty6ptime:
Kernel

What kernels mesh well with 6.3?
[Nook Color Android Development] washere:
So, if I run the CM7 image over PH, will it keep my stuff pretty much in tact? Since PM is just stuff on top of CM, I was thinking that this should work, right? I obviously would clear the caches, and the other usual stuff.

I would go with something else, but I am out of MicroSD cards right now, so I can't just use another one to try it with.

Wayne
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
I haven't booted from SD card in a while, but I'm kind of sure you can only put one build at a time on the card to run, unless you create a dual boot SD card (how-to info here somewhere) in other words one won't "overwrite" the other, it will be only one OR the other running at any given time.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this can jump in?

Tiny Lock screen

I did a fresh flash of CM7.1 rc1, and then flashed to Pmod 7test, did google apps and latest kernel (6/30)and it all runs great! Smooth as silk. Except the lock screen, which is small, like an old school app :\ Turning off compatibility mode seems to have fixed it, but figured I would note it
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
I'm a bit confused..if you flash CM7 RC1, then flash PM test over it, wouldn't that just leave you with PM test? I'm not understanding the benefit of flashing them both as the 2nd one just overwrites the first one, no?

I just installed this rom and really liking it so far, however, I have an issue and am in need of assistance.

I've been running sam haff's honeycomb 2nd edition for a long time and really enjoyed it, but it has issues. I switched over to this looking specifically for better battery life as I'm going on vaca and get only about a day out of the honeycomb build and know that the nook can do far better than that.

Anyway, my problem with this rom is that the music app and gallery app won't find content on my sd card, only the emmc partition. I've searched the thread and don't see anything specific to this topic. What I need to know is how to tell those apps to look at /sdcard as well as /emmc.

I'm running the phiremod v6.3.

The honeycomb build I came from was built on ext-4 and I think this is built on ext-3, which may be causing the issue.

If anyone can help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

usb host fials to mount

I upgraded to v7 and am trying to get the usb host stuff to mount my usb drive.

I did the following:

installed v7 phinemod

installed gapps

installed dal's oc kernel 063011

installed sideload nook tweaks.

Changed vold.fstab to the following:

## Vold 2.0 Barns and Nobel Encore

#######################

## Regular device mount

##

## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>

## label - Label for the volume

## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted

## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.

## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices

######################

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

## nookcolor has two fat32 partitions, p1 is boot p8 is internal storage, so we have to specify here

dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 8 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount usb /mnt/sdcard/USB auto /devices/platform/musb_hdrc

When I enable the host usb on nook tweaks, I'm able to see the light on my usb drive turn on, but I don't have anything mounted at sdcard/USB. I'm connecting the usb drive directly to the port without a hub.

Not sure where I went wrong. Do I need to create a folder at sdcard/USB? Have to use a hub? Are there certain drives that just don't work?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

[Nook Color Android Development] Mumnoch:
Took the gamble and tried this, right off the bat it looks amazing! I've got a few questions and possible a issue (maybe I installed wrong?) that hopefully someone can help me with.

First question is did you include a default Nook reader with this build? I was poking around the EMMC area and I found a B/N download folder, inside it had a few different folders like "books", "Magazines", and "Newspapters" but I can not find the reader anywhere.

Second question, is there a way to utilize my SD cards space as storage? I see under Storage Settings I have 3 spots of "space", my SD card which shows my 8gigs, Internal Storage which shows 1gig, and EMMC storage which shows 5gig. I started xfering my books over and quickly realized that the file manager will let me move books/installs programs to the Internal Storage space only. It won't let me download to my SD card nor my EMMC area (EMMC gives a error saying cannot move file). Did I install wrong or can I not use the EMMC 5gig's of space?
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
This info will help.

elow information ONLY applies to Nook Colors that were recently purchased that have the software update (1.2.0) pre-installed:

Partition 1 (aka part 1) - 4 GB: Is a controlled (or secured) partition of 4 GB and is only used when you downloaded content directly from the B&N Store or the B&N App Store. You will NOT have any direct access to this 4 GB of storage. If you don't D/L from B&N, then the partition sits empty. The ONLY way to delete content from part 1 is to log onto your B&N account and delete it there, then synch your Nook Color and the content you delete form your B&N will be deleted from the Nook Color.

Partition 2 (akak part 2) - 1 GB: This partition is used for side-loading content. "Side-loading" means anything you transfer to your Nook Color from your computer. In other words, any file, book, document, photo, image, video, music etc etc that you have and DID NOT purchase/down-load from B&N.

OS partition (OSpart0) - approx 3 GB reserved for any OS related content, software updates etc - this has not changed - any Nook Color has also has the 3GB OSpart reserved.

About the reader: You have to install one on your own.
