Where can I find the MLO file on my nook?? Might sound like a noobish question, but I cant seem to find any boot files when looking around through root explorer...

Edit: also just tried to play a video I had on eMMC, and even it was stuttery and caused a random reboot twice when I tried to watch it. So I would say something in this "new" MLO and u-boot screwed up my video playback somehow :P Now just waiting on n81 to drop so I can see if that might help...
[Nook Color Android Development] skwalas:
Decided to go all-in with complete wipe and install of stock BN 1.2. Made up a CWR card first. Here's the funny bit...

I wanted to make sure the card worked before I started wiping the NC all down, so I shut down (battery was at 48%), changed out the cards, booted up to CWR on the card as expected, shut down again, went back to the nightly, and the battery was at 23%. All of this in about 5 minutes. what???

In any case, after switching to stock BN 1.2, (and man is it ugly now compared to cm7) batt went all the way down to 9% before shutting down, with a warning at 15%. Previously was getting instant shutoff at 22%.

Charging back up to 100% before putting in the CWR card and returning to nightly 80. but it seems a given now that something is needed in the full stock 1.2 boot procedure to get the battery scale corrected again. but that nearly instant drop of 25% over 5 minutes just by booting from the CWR card was certainly weird.

Has there been any update on the adobe flash issue with .32 CM7? Would love to move to this build again but I can't watch any streaming video when I'm on it. Anything I can do to help? (log files, etc...)
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Same thing happened to me. Fresh installed nightly 80 wouldn't boot and got stuck with the cursor then I remembered your post, flashed Dal's OC for cm7-2.6.32.9 and it booted fine.

I'm not entirely sure if 80 has 2.6.32.9 implementations yet, but the about tab shows stated kernel. I tried turning BT with no luck in this build... so it might not be implemented yet or just doesn't work.

"My results in quotes - did stock 1.2 install prior to current instructions, also created a beta 3.1 CM7 SDcard earlier. Used Spare Parts > Battery Info"

1.Backup "performed a TB and Nandroid backup of phiremod v6.2 in EMMC"

2.Doesn't matter where your battery is (just want enough to flash and boot once). "Mine was at 100%"

3.Grab the keep CWM flash 1.2 flashable zip. "Did the same"

4.Wipe data/system/cache/dalvik. "I did Factory Restore instead - prior to this instruction"

5.Install stock 1.2. "I also installed MiniRooterV2 for Stock Froyo 1.2 + Stock/OC Kernel - installed 1.2 and MinRooterV2 prior to this instruction"

6.boot up to it. Set brightness to full and play some video or something. Just want to drain the battery here. "Did the same"

7.You should be able to run it down all the way to ~4%. Then it will shutoff on its own. "15% gave warning, 4% shut down"

8.Let it charge for a bit, then wipe everything as with the above step, then flash beta/oc/gapps. Boot up. Let it run all the way down (you should get a warning at 15%, then shutoff at ~4%). "Rebooted itself at 10%. Shutdown, replace data SDcard with beta 3.1 (previously created) Charged until 19%. Played video at full brightness, 15% gave warning, 1% shut down when it reached 0%, then rebooted into SDcard beta 3.1 at 10%"

9.Charge per usual. "complete shows 99%, battery icons in beta 3.1 changed to reflect various states"

10.Advance Restore DATA only (if you want, but this does have the battery info file in it. I kept the file and it doesn't seem to have affected battery performance. "did not do"

Results: Seem to work for me as well.

I see build 82 is being there since early morning but thy forgot to post it. Being refreshing the page for a while now.
[Nook Color Android Development] DeadlyDa:
For what it's worth, I've been running the 3.1 Beta with the OC'd kernel at 1.2 since it was first made available.

Just a little bit ago, I dropped into CWM and flashed nightly 82, followed immediately by Dal's 05/13 OC kernel, and then rebooted. Being lazy, I didn't bother to wipe anything, just rebooted.

Everything I've tested so far works perfectly...BT, WiFi, Flash, videos, games. Wow, it doesn't get much easier than that!

Note: I fully realize that there are very good reasons for following a more structured approach (clearing cache, etc), and I 'm not in any way advocating this approach. I'm just mentioning that it worked for me, and that it seems like a pretty strong testimonial to the stability of this build...and of course to the classy folks who did all the "heavy lifting" by developing it for us!
[Nook Color Android Development] huskerpat:
Nightly 82 is up. Flashed over the beta just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] karimsaud21:
What is the recomened uboot and flash version for this latest nightly?

I havent updated in awhile so im still using the oldest uboot
[Nook Color Android Development] xxiworld:
Nightly 82 has a *custom* uboot, according to the update notes. Interesting. We know 2.6.32 doesn't work with stock 1.1, so it makes sense they would want to include this in CM7.

But did they include a custom uboot instead of the stock 1.2 for rights reasons, or are there other fixes (such as a fix to the battery level bug)?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
I think they might have put in fattires uboot/mlo (if I remember correctly who changed it) with new boot/charge screens that also seemed to help with battery issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
This is what I'm most interested to find out as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
I did this:

-- full nandroid backup of 3.1beta

-- wiped cache, system, dalvik

-- flashed n82, 5/13 OC, and 20110503

Everything appears stable, but...

1) Still says "Read Forever" at boot, so I think they used a completely stock 1.2 uboot (good!), or they left /boot alone?

2) some video stutters, some doesn't. Will do more comprehensive tests.

3) screen was realllly slow waking from sleep. (Note: I forgot to clear cpuspy, so not sure if it was deep sleep, or not... will test later)

4) I need a freshly recompiled framework.jar for n82 to get HBO GO app to work... can anyone hook me up? ;)

5) setcpu keeps defaulting to Conservative after every reboot... ill try to clear app data, cache, fix permissions, etc... and will report back.

6) can't test Netflix (no account).

7) BT works for audio, range is same as beta3.1. No clue if BT keyboards work.

8) Wifi working fine (note: I've never had it fail with any build)

Can anyone help me with #4?
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
The thing is, I don't see 2d scrolling significantly faster :confused:. Settings, market, estrongs file explorer... are as jerky as before for me. So in my case the change only served to bork google reader and make everything a bit uglier.
[Nook Color Android Development] Chahk:
For me 2D scrolling seems ever so slightly less dodgy than on build #5. Could be placebo effect though.

Anyone got info on plans for Partition 8 on the internal storage?
[Nook Color Android Development] tominabox1:
I believe they are working on setting access to all the internal partitions.
[Nook Color Android Development] Khegobier:
Anyone have a quick breakdown of what the required partition structure should look like for CM7 on the nook? I'm trying to build a SD card version, and for some reason it won't boot - I'm thinking I'm missing a partition somewhere.
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
I believe you'll need to model after the "[RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (+ tasty treats)" here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959240)

Maybe that will help.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Are you saying that with CM7 v7 nightly has the deviceid fix which resolves the issues with apps FC'ing because of a null IMEI?
[Nook Color Android Development] Khegobier:
I did look at that... from what I can see /data and /cache should be ext4. Doesn't say anything about /system though. I know /boot stays vfat.
[Nook Color Android Development] tominabox1:
Yes it does
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
So, for CM7 v7, are we to do a full wipe and have to re-install everything? How is the stability with v7?

I'm still on v5 @ 1.1GHz and have been extremely stable since. How's evrybody's exerience on v7?
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
Stay on v5...v7 has issues too. V5 has been the best to date
[Nook Color Android Development] Boskoel03:
I am using #7 have no problems....
[Nook Color Android Development] combustiblemonkey:
I havent wiped between any nightly versions, currently on 7 and seems to work ok but I have not been in depth yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
I also flashed v7 over v5 with 1.1 kernel with no problems.

Wifi connects easy no prob.

Market works 100%

Battery usage is better.

When charging the percentage of charging is accurate.

Touch is also working better.

Only if you try to open settings specifically the wifi settings it FC's.

Workaround is to place a shortcut on your desktop to point to wifi settings.

Everything is comming along nicely.

Great.
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
Thanx monk....I noticed over on the Cyanogen site someone else did the same thing )no wipe) and was reporting everything ok. Guess I'll give that a go, but do a backup JIC...

FWIW, I've just done in stall over each time myself.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Observations on nightly 7:

Market fixes seem to work great and FCs have gone away from Pandora and other apps.

Only minor issues I've noticed remaining:

- Amazon app still missing from market. That's the only one I've noticed.

- Slacker does a FC or Wait and gets stuck there.

- I don't mind the new lcd density, but it seems to have a negative effect on touch accuracy. Maybe my imagination.

Overall, this is great.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrweeee:
in build 7 wifi and settings fc's (even after data wipe)

thats my only issue right now

I'm 90% sure this is related to WiFi being active when you turn off the screen. I've been trying just turning off the screen and turning off WiFi before turning off the screen. I see the problem frequently when doing the former and never when doing the latter.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
-- Deep sleep works well in n82. :)

-- Setcpu still defaulting to Conservative on every reboot. (SetOnBoot is checked)

--Video in MovieStreams and TVShowStreams apps is choppy.

--Boot animation still says "Read Forever", so I have no clue what they did, or didn't do, to /boot.

[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Is there anything I can do? I already tried forgetting the last connection?

Edit: hmmm.. I just tried using my phone as a hotspot and the connection seems stable so far. Maybe it's just the router/network I'm currently on (not at home atm). I hope my home network still works
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Flashed N82 over Beta 3.1. Wiped Cache, and Dalvick. Running Multiboot v4.0. So far:

Netflix works fine

Video is smooth with no studders.

Bluetooth keyboard working fine

WIFI seems stable

Deep sleep working just fine

Screen wake from sleep is delayed/slow

I have not run down the battery to see if calibration is working, but I will do so and report back later.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
I appreciate the file. Unfortunately, I'm seeing the same problem I've seen with each .32 build so far with HBO GO. The modded framework allows me to login without the usual FC, but when I play any video, the HBO intro clip plays, but then all I get is an endless spinning blue circle when the main video is supposed to start. :(

Does HBO GO work for anyone else on n82?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Per chance could the wifi be wpa2? Nook has had problems with those types of connections.
[Nook Color Android Development] I Am Marino:
Which types of wifi connections are usually problemless?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
regular WPA and WEP

The only wifi connection problems I have are with WPA2-Enterprise. I haven't been able to consistently connect to 802.1x with Froyo or Gingerbread.
[Nook Color Android Development] chadamir:
Have there been changes to the kernel since the thirteenth that matter? I know there have been some so I'm wondering if the kernel in nightly 82 is actually better in some ways than the oc kernel.

Also for the people having trouble with wifi, does it happen on every router or just certain ones?

EDIT: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5271 5/13 OC is outdated since it does not have this fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Anytime I have tried connecting to a WPA2 connection, it drops out and reconnects randomly, as soon as I switched my router to WPA/WEP, no problems at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Hmm. I just noticed ddms isn't showing a black square any more for playing video when taking screenshots. That's nice.

Hmm, sorry it doesn't work. I have confirmed it allows me to install Swype and the (non-premium) XDA App work, including log-in. I don't have HBO GO so I can't test it.
[Nook Color Android Development] just4747:
Flashed 2.6.32 Beta 3.1 last night to my NC as well as the uBoot from 1.2. (BTW what's the diff between this and the newest Nightly 83? Are these related at all?)

I wiped everything, flashed those and GApps. Ever since then, seems fine, transitions work now and battery life seems better. But boot up time seems longer (and why is that Read quote in there still instead of the tiny Android word in the corner?), but also I've had the thing totally freeze on me three times already, doing random things. The latest time, I pressed the icon for Angry Birds Seasons and it shows the homescreen and stays on there forever. Screen never blacks out, can't press anything, you have to hard reset.

Wahhh
[Nook Color Android Development] BroDroid:
I was able to get HBO GO to work with the modded framework.jar file for nightly 82. HBO, I think was having a problem with their servers for awhile because, I was getting an error early in the day. Its worked in the afternoon with no other mods.

Running nightly 82 with 1.2 uboot and no OC kernel. Running great so far!

Got the 15 percent battery pop-up and am currently at 9 percent. I did flash back to stock BN 1.2 last night.

EDIT: Finally shut down at 3 or 4 percent!
[Nook Color Android Development] mkm1126:
What method did you use to revert back to stock?
[Nook Color Android Development] screech:
That happened to me. I ended up going to the new HC build instead. Unlikely to go back.
[Nook Color Android Development] SgtSpike:
Battery Voltage vs. Percent ?

Would it help to look at battery voltage instead of battery percent when the ~20% shutdown happens?

Maybe we can characterize the hardware without the potentially misleading percentage which is run through the battery calibration routines.

I use Curvefish BatteryLife from the Market

Right now my battery is 100% at 4185mV (still charging BTW)

I will drain the nook down and see where battery percentage and voltage are at the shutdown point.

Maybe if we see that everyone's Nook shuts off at the same voltage regardless of percentage shown it would give some clues.

Might work....
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Ok, got batterylife, can't put the widget up..... When my battery is @ 100% I have seen ~4200mV (green light N)

I am running a battery graph app, but it only records % not mV. Another app BatteryBooster runs and show mV in the app, but can't record it. Do you need something else installed to get BatteryLife running?
[Nook Color Android Development] xxiworld:
Okay another weird data point here... I am running nightly 82 with OC kernel and 1.2 uboot installed separately via CWM. I was having the battery level issue with shutdowns at 20% on the beta, and flashed 82 this morning. I have never had stock 1.2 installed.

Just now, I decided to try out honeycomb on SD. I was at 50% battery when I swapped SD cards. In honeycomb, the battery level showed up as 30% - an immediate 20% drop.

But the weird thing is, when I popped out the honeycomb card and rebooted in CM7, I had 30% still!

This seems bizarre. Either my nook burnt through 20% of its battery booting up honeycomb, signing into gapps, playing around with the UI, and unsuccessfully trying to open a few YouTube videos over the course of about 20 minutes, or somehow the honeycomb install changed something in my cm7, which does not seem like it should be possible.

Btw...100% is 4205mv for me. 31% is currently showing as 3728mv.

I will try running down the battery from here and report back.

Edit: With full brightness, wifi, Bluetooth, live wallpaper, some videos and intensive games running at 1200 I ran my battery down to 15% in about 45 minutes. I got the battery warning, no shutdown so far! I can't say for sure whether installing nightly 82 fixed it or if it was running the honeycomb SD build, but it seems to be fixed, without ever going through the trouble of flashing stock etc. Sweet!

14% shows up as 3660mv
[Nook Color Android Development] TJNooker:
Well, my Nook made it to 16% battery before shutting itself off today. So the last 4 charges have gone like this (charged to 100% after each shutdown):

Activated battery calibration

1. u-boot 1.2 & old mlo: shutdown @ 30%

2. u-boot 1.2 & old mlo: shutdown @ 27%

Flashed new mlo; activated battery calibration

3. u-boot 1.2 & new mlo: shutdown @ 20%

4. u-boot 1.2 & new mlo: shutdown @ 16%

I wonder if the slow approach to normal shutdown levels is a result of the new mlo or if the battery calibration app is slowly walking the auto-shut-off down to where it's supposed to be. I don't know if I have the patience to keep doing this. If I have time tomorrow I might just flash back to BN 1.2 & start over.
[Nook Color Android Development] xxiworld:
Currently at 9% 3629mv, no shutdown yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] I Am Marino:
So if I'm running 7.0.3 stable, should I expect my NC to shut down once it hits a certain percentage or is it hit or miss with everyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] xxiworld:
The battery level bug was not in any of the stable releases.

7.0.3 has a different bug which prevents the nook from sleeping, so it slowly drains your battery all day.
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Okay, same problem on my home connection. Guess I'm going to reflash the beta. In the nightly thread of my Wildfire, people are also reporting disconnects on WPA2 networks with #82:(

[Nook Color Android Development] joe2262:

[Nook Color Android Development] lyam23:
I was having frequent system freezes in the beta and with n82. This was using LauncherPro Plus and Beautiful Widgets.

Yesterday I switched to ADW and have not yet restored my widgets. So far I've not had a single system freeze. I'm going to go a couple of days before re-adding either one.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Strange, I use both Launcher pro and beautiful widgets and haven't had any freezes, sounds like you might need to clear some cache or data...
[Nook Color Android Development] cosine83:
I switched to Fancy Widget Pro from Beautiful Widgets. BW seems to hog up WAY more resources than FWP does.
[Nook Color Android Development] lyam23:
I've done everything short of restoring to stock and re-flashing. If I end up getting more that's what I'll end up doing.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
BW is only using 15MB of ram on my nook...
[Nook Color Android Development] cosine83:
Whereas FWP is using 6.3MB. I've had issues with BW causing lag since I had a Samsung Moment (using Evo Shift now). FWP doesn't cause any lagginess.
[Nook Color Android Development] xc68000:
I used the 1.2 zip floating around that keeps CWM in place to revert to stock. Played around with 1.2 for a bit...did not run the battery down to 0 or anything as some have done to reset battery stats.

I must have had some corruption on my SD card (8gb) because for awhile I couldn't even get the nook to turn on or boot as long as it was installed. So I reformatted it and that problem went away.

Used CWM recovery to install the 83 nightly. Then put the latest gapps on top of that. After all that I was sitting at around 70% battery.

Loaded up Netflix, 10.3 flash, and several other apps and began to test going in and out of netflix, streaming various shows to see if I could get it to start stuttering and I could not. Then I watched a couple of episodes of topgear and then bladrunner with full brightness to run the battery down. Got the battery warning at 15% and shutdown at 0%. It's a subjective observation, but I think the quality of the netflix streams were better than when I tested previously.

Not running the OC kernel and everything seems nice and snappy for me with the conservative governor.

This one seems like a keeper so far.

Thanks to all the people that worked on this.
[Nook Color Android Development] mkm1126:
Do you keep root doing it this way? Or do you have to root again before flashing back to nightly?
[Nook Color Android Development] xc68000:
stock 1.2 image is not rooted. if your going to keep it you would need to use one of the various methods to do it yourself. 1.2 is really laggy and slow compared to cm7, but I suspect that has a lot to with the bn launcher/shell.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
You never need to root the stock OS before flashing a different ROM.
