I always

Nandroid

Clear cache

Load ROM

Load (kernel or GAPPS)

Clear Dalvik

long press the power button till the nook shuts down

then start it back up... It may take a while to rebuild cache and Dalvik

Looks like 55 is also missing Live Wall papers...
[Nook Color Android Development] jabrams:
Live Wallpapers Missing in n54 & n55

The question is why, and when will they return? Can we force them to work and if so will they be stable?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I think the issue is if you put them in system/app the directory is removed and redone with each nightly..

I have 2 nooks the 2nd nook never lost Live Wall papers and the files are in /data/app

but named:

com.android.wallpaper-1.apk

com.android.wallpaper.livepicker-2.apk

The data Directory will only be formatted if you do in CWM or choose to Factory format.

The 1st nook I factory formatted a few day as ago and then noticed the issue.. the 2nd nook has not been factory formatted...

Maybe someone a lot smarter than I will respond with a better explanation.

=======

BTW I copied the files:

com.android.wallpaper-1.apk

com.android.wallpaper.livepicker-2.apk

from 1 nook to the other and rebooted everything looks correct at this point.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Another variation of a question asked many times already

Ok, I have seen many times that this has been asked and answered, but none of the answers have worked for my Nook.

I CANNOT boot into recovery @ ALL! ROM Manager doesn't work, holding the power button and selecting reboot recovery doesn't work, Powering down and the hold N and Power, DOES NOT WORK. The only thing that works for me is a bootable SD card.

Here's where I think my Nook is different than most, my first eMMC ROM was the HC Preview, that involved formatting the Boot prior to install. I have not formatted the Boot since, I still get the sideways (landscape) android in the corner before the CM boot animation comes up.

So here is my question, Could the HC preview boot prevent ROM Manager from getting to recovery or something like that? And does CM7 have a boot section in the flashable zip that will restore my ability boot into recovery if I wiped the boot section.

Thanks in advance,

Ronin
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
I keep this in my flashable zips folder on my Nook. It restores the use of the livewallpapers. Hope it helps you.

Was bluetooth removed at some point or is it not in nightly 41? BT just doesn't turn on.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Worked fine in nightly 41 for me. You need to turn it on first (before wifi) after a hard reboot to make it work sometimes.
[Nook Color Android Development] frenetic:
Thanks, that worked. Bootlooped first, wiped cache, BT works now

HMM it was my sdcard causing bootloop, nook instantly freezes when I insert it. bootloops.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
7.0.1 is out.
[Nook Color Android Development] jabrams:
Thank you for that. Can I install the zip file via Clockwork recovery or do I have to place the files in manually?
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Flashable in Clockwork.

does anyone else get a white ANDROID text in the bottom corner when booting up instead of blue?

white on nightly 54....not sure before then since 7.0.0 stable
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
White even on 7.0.1 for me.

Alright thanks was a little worried

Sent from Nook Color with CM7 - 1.3GHz
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
I'd hold off on 7.0.1 for a few minutes. There may be a 7.0.2 fairly soon.

Confirmed.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Ah. Welp I flashed it well over an hour ago, just gunna have to wait for this one.
[Nook Color Android Development] stevieraveon:
Nice, reading this right after flashing 7.0.1 and waiting for the reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] skwalas:
Ditto with me. I was RIGHT THERE with rebooting after flashing it when i read fattires "suggestion".

Must've been quite the nasty mistake. It's flat out gone from the mirror sites.

I'm not seeing any issues. Any reason to worry till 7.0.fixit comes out?
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
It seems to be that some themes weren't getting included on some builds, basically.
[Nook Color Android Development] jabrams:
Awesome, thanks again. I was about to install it but then saw that "Stable 7.0.1" came out. I flashed it and Live Wallpapers works again. =)
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
Just flashed the latest nightly ...in about phone the version still shows a date of 2/22/2011....is this normal? I'm just curious if it flashed properly...I did it twice just to make sure.

Actually is it power plus the n button.
[Nook Color Android Development] Xephik:
Bah, I still can't get gapps on here. I flash it fine without errors but it doesn't show up on the app list. Is there any other way to install market other than adb?

I had this same problem till I realized I wasnt flashing ext4. Cyanogenmod would flash, but gapps said it would but wouldnt show up.
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
I have the same issue.

It seems that the charge indicator is not quite accurate.

Mine will also sit at 99% after all night...The green light on the cable will be on, but it will still indicate 99%.

Happened again this morning, only this time it hit 99% and no green light after an hour so the calibration seems to be off somewhere.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
dalingrin - i can send you the logcat but don't know what exactly you want me to do. my macbook doesn't see the NC at all (both internal and sd card) when i plug it in via usb. is there something you want me to do to try to force it to mount? Not sure how to do that since my macbook doesn't see it at all. let me know and i'll do it and send you the logs.
[Nook Color Android Development] runhopskipjump:
Is there a reason why directory /media was removed in nightly v5? Should I hold off from creating it again to mount mmcblk0p8 to access my stuff or should I just create another mount point?

Also I have been expirencing FC with googlereader pro and google reader. Newsrob works though. Could this be due to missing codecs?

Nooking with Encore
[Nook Color Android Development] xawen:
It was moved to /emmc (well, really /mnt/emmc and symlinked to /emmc) to stay in line with CM standards.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
It was moved to /mnt/emmc. However, it does not currently mount automatically. We are in middle of backporting 2.6.35 USB drivers. This will allow proper mounting of both mmcblk0p8 and the external sd card. Media apps will also finally index mmcblk0p8 properly as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] Khegobier:
+1 to the question of "Is it possible and if so how to make a bootable SD card with CM7 on it so I don't have to format and replace the stock OS."

I'd love to play with CM7, but I'm not willing to blow away the stock OS since I actually do use my NC as originally intended, but would like to get a good feel for its tablet ability too. Being able to dual boot into CM7 off the SD card would be ideal for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Lento10:
If you go to the cm7 development thread, post #3. You will find the instruction there.
[Nook Color Android Development] Khegobier:
That's great, now I just need to figure out how to do it in Windows without a build environment. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color Android Development] Lento10:
I never said it was easy, i am using google a lot for this one. Install Ubuntu, it will make things Easy.
[Nook Color Android Development] combustiblemonkey:
Well all the steps have windows counterparts but it may be easier to just install Virtual Box and install Ubuntu or Slack into it... And build the file in the VM. It will at least work for sure instead of a big maybe.
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
how do you guys do this reliably? I pretty much can never get that to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] xawen:
1) Power off completely

2) Press and hold the N and power buttons

3) When the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen appears, count to 5 and let go

If the screen turns off while you're holding the buttons, repeat the process and count faster ;)

Has anyone gotten "My Apps" to populate in the market?

Also, when I try to update an app in App Brain, the market link returns "The requested item could not be found." Yet when I search for that app in the market, it pops up.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Heheh get ready to do it again :)
[Nook Color Android Development] jabrams:
Yes, I believe that changed a few Nightlights ago. Nothing to worry about. I think it's actually good because you know if your boot is going into Recovery when blue or the ROM when grey.

How do you make Calls with Google Voice on Nook in CM7?

Does anyone know how to make a phone call with Google Voice on the Nook? I open up the Phone app, Dial the number and on top it says "Dialing with Google Voice" then I get a error message saying "Mobile Network Not Available" (BTW GV is free for yet another year!) I assume the Nook / Android softwawre is looking for a cellular network that doesn't exist. Is it possible to make it use WIFI???

I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered in different forums but I haven't found it anywhere.

Thank you.
[Nook Color Android Development] jabrams:
What do you mean? lol What do you know that is coming down the pipe that we all would like to know =)

Do we know what the mistake was? I have been running 7.0.1 for the past hour and haven't had any problems but am reflashing to 7.0.2 now.
[Nook Color Android Development] jabrams:
I do understand that it is not a VOIP but when I use it on the website via my desktop I can make phone calls. Is there any way to do that via an app?

Thanks again.

Also if you wouldn't mind answering 1 side question. I see that your latest Test Build OC kernel is based on 2.6.29. In the change log for the stock Kernel of the latest CM7 it's 2.6.37. Is this the Kernel that get's rid of Sleep Death? Will you be headed to .37 with yours?

Thank you.

Do you guys just flash this over the earlier release or do you do factory reset / wipe cache?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Wipe cache

Just wipe cache and reflash over (including the OC kernel if you want it).

Basically the same procedure as per any nightly.

Probably not until they release the source code as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] robot8:
Underwhelming. Laggy. No market, they're trying to lock people into their own app store.
[Nook Color Android Development] psychoace:
With a 1.3ghz kernel and root it should be really nice.

Mind you that might take a month to accomplish because we are waiting on the source but lets hope for the best.
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
while true, you can't blame them for trying to protect their investment a bit. I never expected full market access. B&N needs to stay in business. Most non-tech users will be picking it up for what it is a reader for b&n. adding the update (especially to those who have already bought it) is nothing but win and extra features for them. They could have just as easily done nothing to update it. It will be interesting if/when amazon releases a kindle tablet that is rumored.

It won't stop any of us from using cm7 or froyo. Hopefully there is something the community here can use once the source is released (sleep of death)
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
What are the chances that Barnes & Noble will release the source code?

Or, in other words, why would they do this in the first place?
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
Just flashed 55 and the change log says screen shot fix,i tried drocap ad shoot me and both dont work..anyone else have better luck ? i am on the 4/11 kernel if it matters.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
ScreenShot works for me
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
Just flashed 55. Still looks like the apps that requires such special permission as camera, for example, are not showing up yet (CNN, ebay, Gowalla, several more).

This is the fix I personally am looking forward to the most. I can live with battery life. It actually has improved I think.
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
what are you using to take them ? what kernel u on ?
[Nook Color Android Development] DeadStiff:
This is your problem, you need to stay on the stock CM7 kernel or update to the latest OC kernel( see Kernel Manger in the market).
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Why flash 55? Stable 7.0.2 was released last night.
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
TY so much!!! its worked ,,btw whats the diff between pro and lite for kernel manager ?
[Nook Color Android Development] whatsinaname:
So if I am on nightly 55, can I just flash the stable over the top just clear cache, or do I have to install gapps again? May be time to start over.

Or is 55 close enough to just leave it. Gotta love constantly updating, but that is what makes it fun.
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
i wiped dat

installed 55

wiped davilk

rebooted

that was it

then used kernel manager as told in here to update to the latest kernel and all is working fine.

i did not have not reinstall gapps.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluewhite79:
Any reports that 1.2 update breaks CM7???
[Nook Color Android Development] robot8:
Why should it? Nothing to do with CM7.
[Nook Color Android Development] whatsinaname:
I see you installed 55, I am wondering about stable 7.0.2. Of course I can just do it and see what happens :)
[Nook Color Android Development] bluewhite79:
I have no idea.

its why i'm asking. All i heard was that it 'breaks' root.

I"m just guessing that it won't break nookiefroyo or cm7...but thats just a guess on my part.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Stock B&N Froyo has nothing to do with any custom work you put on your device.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluewhite79:
thank you.

so when people say it "breaks" root, they're ONLY referring to rooted stock B&N and nothing else.

just wanted to clear the air on it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
Wow, thanks.. didn't see that.

but back to my original point....

Just like on N 55, S 7.02 does not see certain apps in the market. Dalingrin said he would fix this and said it pretty confidently. Can't wait for this! Sending apps via bluetooth from my phone is tiresome!
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Oops I forgot about the camera permission. I'll hopefully get that done in time for the next nightly. I've been really busy with tests and now finals this week.
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
I can't seem to use any other twitter apps that the stock twitter one. Plume wont sign in nor will twidroyd. The original twitter app works fine.

Tip: Grab the Flash apk from B&N Froyo 1.2 in /system/app and install it on CM7. This version of flash has DSP acceleration for videos. Be sure to uninstall your existing flash first.
[Nook Color Android Development] timoskrempel:
I have attached the file.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:

For some reason LCD density changer stopped working for me and freezes up the device completely requiring a reboot.. cleared app data... deleted and reinstalled... fixed permissions.. I'm stumped and new to the nook..
[Nook Color Android Development] robot8:
Oh yes, definitely.

As was mentioned, this version is not something you can just find anywhere. It has OMAP optimizations so even though it may say 10.1, for our Nooks this one is superior to the 10.2 on the market. Remember, later/bigger anything isn't always necessarily better. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] norazi:
what kind of timeframe do you think we are looking at before we get DSP/video acceleration?

ive been playing around with my nook on cyanogen for a few months now and am itching for a smoother UI (ala ipad or tegra2).. i might just sell the nook and grab the asus transformer when it comes out
[Nook Color Android Development] tony1208:
Is clearing the battery history a must to after each flash of a nightly or should this be done normally for better battery life ?
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Excellent ! Many thanks !

Maybe there are other Nook-optimized .apk's in the 1.2 that we can substitute ?

( I have an insanely busy day today otherwise I would look through them now, rather than suggest that someone else do so. )
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Again, i am not sure if it is being used, but i will put this here. The attached file appears in the 1.2 update in the system/lib/ folder. Not sure if it is used (or if all the magic is happening in just the new apk), but it cant hurt to push this to your system as well (/system/lib)
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I didn't mention it because it not used. No need for it.
[Nook Color Android Development] kin869:
Hmm, so I've uninstalled my Flash 10.2 and then installed the FlashPlayer.apk, but I can't really tell the difference in terms of performance.

When you guys are saying that Youtube HQ videos play smoothly, are you referring to within the browser or with the Youtube app? If it's within the browser, can you play 480 videos smoothly? Can you guys give this X-Men trailer a try to see if it plays smoothly within your browsers?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:

Youtube app should already play perfectly on HQ. I'm talking about flash in the browser.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Though.. taking a step back and quoting myself in the response to me... why include the file if it weren't being used? It doesn't show up in stock android i believe, so i get the feeling it is there for some reason. If the apk/libflashplayer.so is doing all the HW work, what is this other file there for?
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
There's really no reason to "wipe data" with any nightly/stable update... in fact, you're creating A LOT of unnecessary extra work for yourself! Did you mean "cache"?

My nightly process:

Step 0: Boot into CWM

Step 1: Wipe cache

Step 2: Choose/Flash new nightly from SD

Step 3: Choose/Flash preferred OC kernel from SD

Step 4: Reboot system and wait during longer-than-normal bootup sequence as system stabilizes.

Step 5: Login and let nook sit for 2 to 3 minutes as system continues to stabilize.

Step 6: Charge to 100% and then run Battery Calibration

Step 7: Login to XDA forums and thank devs... again!

/done. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] capnblackleg:
I'd probably add backup as step 1 there, personally.
[Nook Color Android Development] ottoman1384:
Guys, I need some explanations?

I've been trying to keep up with the flash discussion but can't figure something out.

Are we supposed to uninstall flash player 10.2 and then install the flashplayer.apk file that is attached to this thread?

Is that it? Or are there other files that also need to be installed?

I'm on 7.0.0 and am about to update to 7.0.2. TIA
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
Well, since I tend to upgrade to a new OC kernel or nightly every other night, I don't usually do a full nandroid backup every time... just once a week, or so... but you're absolutely right, backing up is never a bad thing! ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
yes, that's it. No other files or worries.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
How can we be sure that the Flash APK taken from the B&N 1.2 update is actually using hardware acceleration? Just wondering if people are *hoping* it is, or if it has been confirmed that it was customized with OMAP optimizations.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Both logs and power domain status shows that it is using the DSP. Note that not every video can be accelerated. If you see "video not optimized for mobile..." then its not going to use the DSP.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
Thanks for the info Dalingrin!
