If you are using the oc kernel and set your clock speed too high with the nook tweaks app it can cause it to freeze up while launching apps.

beat me to it
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
It would go off and not come back on without a reboot. As long as I didn't do the jerky finger thing, it was fine.

B101 is working fine with many power off cycles. I'm letting it discharge too. Down to 23% and it powers on and off fine. I am expecting to drop to 0% correctly.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Way to ***** about an unstable build being....unstable. Its made even better by the fact that you are *****ing about a problem that only you are having.

And no one does...I've literally never had to wipe my Nook except when I've borked it while developing.
[Nook Color Android Development] bburkhar:
Thank You. I am getting ready to take an international trip and was wanting to watch episodes of the wire on my nook. Guess I will have to flash froyo while traveling. Files are in .avi format.

Does anybody know how to add lockscreen Widgets?
[Nook Color Android Development] DrewLGT:

I'm able to watch m4v and avi files on CM7 v7 using Rockplayer Lite. Sound occasionally drops sync in heavy video motion, but still watchable.
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
I didn't have v7 on for long. I'm actually still at v5. I guess they are getting the video worked out. :D Good to know. I'm not going to flash anything else until v8 drops. Maybe sound will be a little more stable.

Nightly 8 is up.
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
installing #8 now hope youtube works ....
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
"My apps" not showing in market of nightly 8. Can anyone else confirm?
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
just installed #8.....

youtube still not working

gmail syncs fine

market works fine

my apps still dont show

wifi works

over all feels really smooth and fast...

have nt tried videos yet
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Video still a no go. "My apps" were there in 7. Strange.
[Nook Color Android Development] Casao:
So, second time this has happened.

Flash CM7, following instructions. Works perfectly, it's great.

I tell CM7 to reboot, my NC is suddenly unbootable. It'll boot off of SD, but i can't get it to boot off of Flash until I completely restore to stock - I had to use the one that dd's /system and /boot before it would run again.

Then I can go back to CM7, but as soon as I reboot, it dies.

Anyone have any idea what is causing this, and how to fix it?
[Nook Color Android Development] mtm88001:
Running 8

Wifi fc issue seems to be fixed.

Also, not sure what the combo is -CM7 or Dalingrin's OC kernel but KO Boxing 2 is now working great. Before there was always a response lag..

Gun Bros working as well.

Even got CWR installed, though CWR didn't complete the backup. Said couldn't mount system.

Thanks to CM team, Dalingrin, deeper-blue, and others who have worked to make the Nook the best Android tablet on the market... at least for $250.00
[Nook Color Android Development] mtm88001:
Are you formatting sdcard from CM7,, This will kill your boot partition..
[Nook Color Android Development] Casao:
I did try that both times. Does it seriously kill your boot partition? Cause that's kinda ridiculous.

I'm going to restore and try CM7 again any not do that, hopefully that'll fix it.
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
I wonder how long until YouTube works.....
[Nook Color Android Development] Casao:
So, can I tell Rom manager to flash CWM, or will that hose my /boot?
[Nook Color Android Development] Casao:
I'm unable to clear cache, and doing this resulted in a market connection error. Proceed with caution.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
You need to reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] openallnight:
Running into lot of wifi/auto synch issues with latest Kernels. WiFi just drops intermittently. I am able to use the 1910 (from 22nd i think?) Kernel on CM7 w/o any of these issues. Frustrated though that I will not be able to use latest performance and other fixes :(

Any one else have issues with secure wireless setup?
[Nook Color Android Development] greenmky:
Yeah. I think the nightlies have been very stable for nightlies. I don't like to screw with my devices too often (too busy) but I haven't had any serious problems with any of the nightlies. A couple of FCs here and there and that's about it.

(still on Nightly 98 here).
[Nook Color Android Development] quepaso:
When you say this, lets say i just want to backup my games installed, like angry birds. Am i not supposed to restore the app + data for it? If app only, how does anyone finish a game if they're using custom roms lol.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I make that recommendation when there seems to unknown issues causing odd behavior.

Without data restored from any app there is less chance of restored data causing a problem.

it is easier to simplify and troubleshoot then add 1 thing at a time and see where the issues begin... Than to try and determine if you have borked data or borked apps..

in a real extreme case I would not restore any apps and re-download fresh...

Keep in mind I an speaking to extreme cases not every nightly....

I have had to "start from Scratch", as it were, once but I caused the issue by not paying attention to what I was doing and really made a fine mess at high speed.

==============

Funny you mentioned Angry Birds... XDA to the rescue

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/never-lose-your-progress-again-backup-your-angry-birds-data/
[Nook Color Android Development] martian21:
As a general rule of thumb, if you are having issues, I would recommend NOT restoring data for any programs that remain running (launcher, email, mms, facebook, etc). For programs that only are active when launched, games for example, you are generally safe restoring app+data but I would only restore app+data when absolutely needed. For example there is no reason to restore app+data for the XDA app as it is trivial to re-enter your username and password and set a few favorites.

[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Excellent point, thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
What's somewhat strange is that there isn't a lot of consistency between what issues one user has and those of another user. For instance, I get FCs with the XDA-Developers app, but haven't heard of anyone else seeing this.
[Nook Color Android Development] jdellingson7:
What happened to the GB tv shutdown animation? I noticed it was gone after 93 nightly or so. I'm on 95 now, has it been incorporated in the newer nightlies?
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
I'm on nightly 101 with the 6/13 OC kernel, 300/1200 on demand and everything is pretty much awesome so far. I've only messed around with deep sleep a bit, but it seems to be working right now. I'll see how it holds up over the course of charging, turning it off, restarting, etc., but it's very promising thus far. Awesome work, everyone involved!

I have one question about battery calibration, though, that's been plaguing me from the outset. So, my cable is green right now, but it's showing the percentage at 98. I know that in newer builds, there are supposed to be sanity checks that will eventually fix this, so should I just wait it out?
[Nook Color Android Development] seth.i.simmons:
Reboot it and see if it shows 100% then. It recalibrates the stats at boot, so it should fix it.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
I think I missed this as I just flashed from phiremod to the nightly, but how do you determine if deep sleep is working?
[Nook Color Android Development] seth.i.simmons:
Download "CPU spy" from the market, and it'll tell you time in all your CPU states. (It doesn't really work with the last two kernels though, except to show deep sleep time.)
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
Cool thanks. Working for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] martian21:
XDA app issues are well known and due to the fact that the Nook does not have an IMEI number. If you do the IMEI fix you won't have any more issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
While I agree with your point, the XDA app issues are a known problem and are due to the app looking for an IMEI#. I believe it was fixed in the premium version of the app but may have not trickled down to the free version yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
Umm ok..being harsh enough? I am doing nothing different than anyone else..I just start with a clean slate (a while back) and install CM7 nightly, and that's it. I don't even mess with different kernels for crazy overclocking, I just leave the stock one there. And trust me, plenty have to wipe because of bad issues, so no.

Why wouldn't I complain about my device freezing every time I pick it up? And it's not like I've asked every other owner if their's does it. Sorry?

Why so mad?
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I was simply returning the amount of respect you've shown me. :D

What makes you think you should complain about an issue you are having on an nightly(aka test) build? The correct course of action would be to ask for help by posting logs or asking how to post logs if need be.

Have users wiped between builds? Yes.

Is this frequently needed? No.

Should someone use the nightly builds if they are unwilling backup and restore their previous install or at worst wipe their device? No.
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
I did the full wipe and flashed 101 and after doing the main login stuff, I immediately get force closes on Date & Time settings and Setup Wizard, and it starts me back at the login/setup again.

See what I mean? I don't complain about little **** that doesn't affect much (because there is tons of that which I do not mention on here), but when things like my previous posts (making the device unusable) and things like this which are happening after a "fresh" install like recommended, I feel like saying something.. is that so wrong? I thought the point was to share issues even if there are no bug reports and stuff..
[Nook Color Android Development] clamder:
i think the main thing is that your initial post had very little information with a tone that wasn't very respectful to the developer. of course this forum is meant for users to point out any issues.

please point out:

- the version of recovery you're using

- the nightly build your using

- gapps version you're installing

- any logs that you can find

- whether or not you tried any troubleshooting steps (such as clocking back down to 800mhz, using the conservative governor, or maybe even flashing an oc kernel just to test... etc)

extra info is appreciated. if you notice, no other users are really complaining the way you are, because the nightlies have been fairly stable to most, with only a few users complaining about SODs.

this is just an fyi, and i'm not trying to be disrespectful at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] angomy:
There's a difference between constructive complaining about a nightly (inherently buggy, that's why it's not a stable) and just plain *****ing.

IMO it's pretty disrespectful to the devs who work on CM7 for the NC just to be *****ing without actually trying to provide useful feedback that helps them in their work.

Edit: Aside from some issues with late mid-late 90's nightlies, I haven't had a single SOD or PBD since they patched in the battery check. Also, one thing to consider if stuff just keeps going berserk on your NC no matter what nightly you flash, it may be a hardware issue and not software related at all -- e.g., some NCs can't be OC'ed to Dalingrin's max clock speeds without experiencing problems, but others can run to 1.3Ghz without an issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Well, not to add fuel to the fire, but I can say that putting n101 on a clean verygreen 1.3 image looks like it installs fine through recovery but will not boot - it gets to the point you expect to see the Android animation and just sits there forever.

I also saw more than my (anyone's?) fair share of force-closes under n95, to the point where two out of three boots would result in _every single app_ force-closing right on boot...even apps that have no reason to be running at that time, but happen to have icons on my launcher screen (e.g. Aldiko). Very bizarre, and a problem I'd never seen before.

I hate to say it, but I tend to agree that the nightlies (yes, I know they are code in active development, and subject to more than the normal number of bugs) are indeed getting less instead of more stable.

Just my $0.02.

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] butler360:
You see, in your first reply all you did was complain. You didn't really ask for help or give any information.

And you complained in a really obvious way: "Unstable is not stable!!!"

Lastly, if the recent nightlies were as bad as you are suggesting, there would be more than just you here saying the system is freezing.

You're allowed to ask for help, but you didn't really do that. Change your tone and be more specific and you'll do fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
You're right, it's completely unstable and unusable! Better flash back to stock and stay there so that you don't have any problems!

It's a conspiracy btw! CM7 is crap, everyone's just to nice and *ss kissers that they have to say it works to make the developers feel better.

*Hugs Dalingrin* You're doing an amazing job and you're very appreciated on the interwebs.

*Written with the same constructive and positive tone that the OP has used in all of his replies to this point*

Dalingrin: Getting back on topic with a concern that I'm wondering about... With PBD, SOD and Deep Sleep all seeming to come into their right place. I was wondering if you'll be able to take a look at video playback a bit... 720p encodes, Streaming Videos to external players and Flash, all seemingly work really well with your OC kernels for .29. However, with .32 kernel the nook either struggles, or I lose audio if the motion of the video speeds up (in moboplayer w/ videos being streamed from the internet)

My specific problem stems from the streaming apps (Tv Shows Stream App, Movie Stream App, Animewatcher). If I select a video that's in flash, I get out of sync videos.

All of this was being done with 6/09's kernel at 1325 -- performance. I had tested with stock speeds as well as 1200mhz though to make sure it wasn't just an unstable speed.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Yes, I plan to implement some framework changes that could help with video and flash but won't know for sure until I've got it done.
[Nook Color Android Development] beobu:
CM7 is multi language, right? Does it has Vietnamese language?

Or could you show me how can I add language to CM7.

As I learned, CM7 for Motorola MS supported VN language already.

The reason why is I want to offer my Nook Color to my father but he does not know English.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks so much
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Settings > Language and keyboard settings > Select Language > Find Vietnamese (tiếng Việt I think). Yes it is there, near the bottom
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
Actually, you may be able to fix that using a modified framework.jar that includes an IMEI. DizzyDan has built a Windows app that will do that for you in-place (look for "IMEI Generator" thread here).
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
I am testing something... It seems some encoder/decoder files may be misnamed in /system/lib... I am trying various combinations to see if I can find the magic one... i.e. there are .Decode.so, .decode.so, .Encode.so, .encode.so files... but by the naming conventions... it looks like .Decode.so should be .Decoder.so and .Encode.so should be .Encoder.so... more as I know more.
[Nook Color Android Development] ron_e:
I was having similar issue. Did some searching and found a solution that worked for me.

I changed to a different SD card. I copied all the contents of my sd card to a new one, put that in the nook and it has been stable ever since. cards where both 16GB class 6 cards.

I have CM7 installed on EMM so the SD card is only for data storage. I have not moved any apps to SD.

I had weeks of the nook randomly freezing. Sometimes the boot would complete and it would freeze before I could even touch an app. Other times I could use it for an hour before it froze. I had tried various CM7 versions and OC kernals all with no luck.

For me it was not CM7 at all it was an SD card issue. Still not sure if the card is bad or maybe just needs formatting have not really checked further yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Keep the $.02, most people don't have those issues. I have had zero problems on 93ish, 95, 97, 100... Something like that, I update every few nightlies, nothing fancy, just flash the new one.

Only issue I have is Sleep of Death about on average daily. No force closes, no bad boots, no problems flashing, etc etc...
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
I'm just glad Rodney found a different thread to ***** and argue in... and got out of the IMEI generator thread ;)

[Nook Color Android Development] openallnight:
I am on N102 with Dal's 06/13 Kernel. My nook went completely dead today morning. I haven't had issues yet like this.. I was worried for a while that it wouldn't start up but it did after long pressing on power button. I had wiped cache and Davlik before installing. Do i need to reflash gapps also? There was no FC or anything atleast i did not notice because i dont know when it happened.

I have the tweaks with minimum 175 and max set to 1200.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Great to hear it. I wish those of us having problems were so lucky. (On the positive side, it looks like moving from SD to EMMC helped some, and further testing suggests that somewhere around n95 things started to go south with verygreen's approach, but I don't have enough data yet to reach any firm conclusions.)

Careful about dismissing problems just because "most people" aren't encountering them. Dalingrin has yet to reproduce a single SoD - does that mean it's not real?

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
Positives......

Dal, on a positive note I am on 102 with the 6-13k and everything is seemingly flawless, almost instant sleep, clock stepped at 300,600,900,1100 and 1325. Keep it up your work with this project is unrivalled and undisputed. I never say much just read and reread,then if there are issues I read again. The nightlies overall have been solid over the last few. I did a super wipe/ reset once we moved to the 1.2 buids and haven't had any of the major issues(sod,deep sleep) that I had prior to a very fresh install. Thanks again for what you have helped give us.

And by the way I have been flashing via CWM SD
[Nook Color Android Development] Lyphen:
Hey guys, I'm not much of a big genius when it comes to Android, but is there some way I can create a batch file to easily remove Gallery3D whenever I update to a new nightly? It seems to constantly cache in the background when I'm using the nook, slowing down my SD card and writing hundreds of MB of thumbnails. Yet another reason why I prefer QuickPic.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Here's what I have seen on my Nook (N100)

Running Nightly #100 eMMC, with Dal's 6/13 OC kernel -

First pic attached : Low Shutdown @ 6% (reported) however notice the voltage is around 3000mV. I got a warning @ 15%, but the Nook just shut off without warning (other than the voltage out of range alarm 3100mV) IMO that was not a PBD. Just sharing.

Second Pic : Once I plugged in the Nook, got the battery low screen, left it overnight to charge. 6hrs or so later, I came to check on it, and saw the reported 11%, unplugged to hook into a portable battery pack, and "poof" 89%. Now I am using a non-Nook cable/charger right now because I left mine elsewhere and can't get it til the weekend (and I believe that may be the culprit of that)

Third Pic : Only my, maybe, third EVER experienced SOD. The missing data (12) line, and then the jump in time. I turned off screen for maybe a few minutes, went to check something on Nook, nothing. Had to hold down power to cycle back on

last_kmsg : just copied this off Nook, not sure if the SOD will be in there, not too sure what I'm looking @, but I seem to remember Dal asking for this before.

EDIT : Just had another SOD, tried pluging in portable battery pack, nothing. Power cycled, grabbed last_kmsg first thing and posted a zip file its 112kb
[Nook Color Android Development] xdajunkman:
I would hazard to propose that anyone running CM7 from their SD card should start their own thread to report problems. I would bet that MANY of the issues that peolpe post about here are due to running from SD. Possibly including the recent nasty exchange a few posts above. Just a thought.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
+1, I don't have half the problems nearly as much on eMMC, and people seem to have stopped posting whether they are on eMMC or SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] TubeShaped:
Yes I am. My battery always dies at 10 percent. I'm on the latest nightly with the latest OC kernel. I thought it would get better after a few drains/charges but it doesn't. I also tried wiping the battery stats. Help!
[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:
I simply remove the apk's in the system/app folder (including the live wallpapers, camera, telephony provider, and mms) from the upgrade zip before I flash it.
[Nook Color Android Development] don_ernesto:
do you run CM7 from a SD Card? i had a lot of freezes and FC's, but following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633 i changed to another SD Card, and it's been great since then (switched from Patriot class 6 to sandiks 8GB class 4)
[Nook Color Android Development] boxcar8028:
yeah, i had problems with other brand sd, but sandike is the way to go, its the best. never had any problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
Nope I run from EMMC.
[Nook Color Android Development] gudism:
+1 to that, PBD on every build since 87 I think. Shutdown at 13-15%
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
So much for the wipe and clean install doing anything. Already had a full system/screen freeze while in YouTube app, lol. God dammit.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I don't know what to tell you, a lot of people have reached out to provide some assistance, but you always have a negative SmartA__ answer..

If you can't check a few things on your own or try a few things on your own and learn from the experience, go back to stock ROM, in the end maybe your Nook is defective.

Have great rest of the day...

Maybe just a PEBKAC issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
Uh no it's not an error on my part...I'm pretty sure I can't make my whole Nook OS completely freeze/crash on me. Thanks though.

Seriously, what other info do you need? It's the newest nightly, installed after wiping data/cache, to EMMC. I restored apps with NO data using TiBackup, did not restore system data, and have generally done nothing else since. I've just set up apps and accounts manually like always. I don't even have that many apps on there.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
I hate to ask the obvious question, and you may have said so earlier, but did you wipe /system as well?

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Maybe if you can get it to happen again, on reboot go into /proc and copy /paste last_kmsg and post in here or dev thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
I did, yep...I went into Mounts and Storage and cleared data, system, and cache individually.

I will do this next time, thanks.

EDIT: LOL just froze again right after I posted this. I will look for that log now...
