Anyone know why the livewallpaper apps were included in the original RC posted but aren't in the nightlies?
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Thank you for the great find! I've got me a non-name 5V 2A USB power charger/adapter (or whayever they call it) like 6 weeks ago -- to have a spare, only to discover it makes my screen touch very wonky and ultimately unusable.

So, can you work your Nook while on your spare adapter now?
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
Paul, thanks for doing this. I flashed the files and it rebooted into recovery just fine. This is so much better than having to pop sd cards in and out.

Everything I've done in terms of testing nightlies, etc. has been running from SD card, and now I want to run CM7 from the eMMC card.

My Nook Color is stock not rooted and has B&N 1.1 update.

Can I install CM7 to eMMC on not rooted stock Nook Color by:

- Making a Clockwork Recovery 3.0.1.0 SD card

- Put CM7 nightly on the card

- Book from Clockwork Recovery SD card and install CM7 zip

OR are there some complications due to it being stock and/or not rooted ?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Install instructions are on the first post. That is, if you are wanting to replace the stock rom w/ this.

If you want to run it off of an SD card, then there is another thread for that. (size agnostic something or other.)
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Actually not.

This is the CM7 discussion thread, it is not a MOD thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Thank you very much. You are correct.

The first post of THIS THREAD has the instructions he is looking for.
[Nook Color Android Development] animatechnica:
Installed nightly 31 now Bluetooth cannot turn non - it looks like it tries to turj on but turns back off

Any one else encounter this?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
yes, I had to fix permissions and hard boot twice before I could get it to come on and stay on.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
That is true, but it doesn't answer the question.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Step by step instructions that cover any potential pitfalls he might have from going from 1.1 to cm7 doesn't answer the question. OK.

I guess I'll just have to settle for being slightly more helpful than you?
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Kinda gets picky on whether to boot on the first boot, or demand those mysterious hard reboots several times to work properly (?). In any case, I believe it's working for you now, so it would be great if you share your experiences with n31, as there were lots of commits incorporated in it. Can and did you use Divine_Madcat's I/O improved OC 1.1 GHz kernel? Quadrant's scatter is too big to be indicative of anything, so maybe Neocore benchmarks? Any improvement in hardware assisted local video playing (I think it's Rock Player Pro or something), or pure Flash video playing (say, in streams of veetle.com)

Thank you. I would probably be doing it for verygreen's size-agnostic SD card, just wanted to hear some positives on the build that took two days to appear.

[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
why not just try it and see?

if it doesn't work then root first and flash.

not sure why this is so complicated.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
So, I'm the first person ever to try and flash a totally stock Nook Color without rooting first ?

Seems unlikely (but it is hard to search for this - since all the words involved are very common).
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Thanks for pointing that out, it's helpful to me (and anyone else reading it later).

But it doesn't address the one issue.

On the one hand, one would think that it should work - but on the other hand, another page lists a "rooted Nook Color" as a requirement (but they may be assuming that).

Most previous users had first "rooted" and then used that for awhile, many doing so even before custom ROMs were available.
[Nook Color Android Development] eppyramot:
Hi ADude

I've taken 3 nooks from 1.1 to CM7 on emmc, (i had been playing with a Viewsonic G Tab for months and had no desire to keep a "native" experience on my Nook). The first one was a learning experience but 2 & 3 (which were for friends so i was at risk screwing up other peoples hardware) were easy.

However to do it this way you have to root it (how else are you going to get the market working).

Attached are the steps I followed and worked well and are fairly quick and easy to follow.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Thanks for your helpful post.

I looked at your method and you install ROM Manager on the rooted Nook to do the install.

Faceman's install here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151

uses Clockwork Recovery by itself on the SD card.

The essential question is whether there is anything about a non-rooted NC that will cause problems in the install by CWR SD card.

I don't know enough about the difference to say.
[Nook Color Android Development] moonpie28:
No, you will have root when you construct the flash card. You can do whatever you want at that point to the emmc. Like booting a PC with a floppy in the old days or a CD and formatting the hard drive. It doesn't have a locked boot or anything to stop you. By the same token if you mess up you can go back to where you are now. That's why the nook is so cool and open. So just do it. If you want to.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
I had installed CM7 started with nightly #29 on both the wife's and my nook which were both auto-nootered. I showed a friend at work how smooth it was with #30 he brought in his daughters stock nook I used the CWR sd card and it worked just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattymcdirty:
what do you think - how long will it probably take team cynogen to get smooth video playback running? i'm thinking about swtiching back to nookie froyobecause of that. cm7 rocks, but i'd like to use the nook as video player for my holidays and that's whats working atm smooth with froyo and barely stuttering with cm7... :/
[Nook Color Android Development] barrist:
dalingrin has been out of town for the past week. he gets back this week and has said he will work on the video playbook.
[Nook Color Android Development] Hextall:
Seems like that method also requires root as the first thing suggested is to create a nandroid backup and then store that SD card. That seems to imply that the user should already have root and cwr installed as the internal recovery. Can a cwm SD card make nandroids of the internal rom?

Rooting the stock rom is pretty easy and seems like someone looking to mess around with the guts by installing cm7 should be ok with rooting. Are you just wondering about installing cm7 on an unrooted device for education sake, or do you have some aversion to rooting the stock rom?

Edit: I am wrong.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I don't get it. You do not need to root to boot off of a sd card...

If you did root first, it would just be flashed over by the install process.

The instructions at the bottom of the first post I linked you is all you need. Rooting is just an extra unneeded step.
[Nook Color Android Development] ax0r:
Guys you don't need root on stock rom to flash clock work recovery.. I will provide instructions here but can't provide links as I am typing this on my nook using tapatalk.

Do this.

Find the SD bootable cwm image on the forum and make an bootable SD from it. The thread has details on how to do this.

Copy clockwork mod 3.0.1.0 update zip on the bootable cwm SD after you image it. The zip should be small enough to fit on the SD if not then have 2 SD cards on hand. Once you boot into the SD flash the recovery 3.0.1.0 zip you copied.

Then remove SD and reboot recovery to make sure it flashed cwm properly.

At this point reformat your SD card and copy the cm7 zip onto it from your computer . Insert SD card into the nook.

Once in recovery On cwm go to mount and format data, system, and cache. After you have done this then proceed to flash the cm7 zip you copied.

Hit reboot on cwm. Once you start cm7 go to rom manager and reflash recovery thru rom manager. This will give you the ability to reboot into recovery through cm7 natively without having to do the n+ power button method..

Whoever said you need root on stock rom to do this is inexperienced. I have flashed a brand new nook in the store using this method and it came out flawless.

Good luck and give thanks if this helps you.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Yes it did help me, thanks given !

(And thanks to Rick_V for this confirmation as well.)

If I understand all this correctly, faceman's CM7 installation procedure (thanks chisleu for pointing it out) is even simpler than yours (ax0r), because he uses CWR from the SD card to install CM7.

I think this is simpler and shorter because the stock Nook system is EXT3 file system, so you have to install CWR for EXT3 and then you are flashing CM7, an EXT4 file system, so you need a new CWR anyway. So you might as well just use CWR on an SD card to install CM7 and then put the EXT4 CWR on the Nook.

[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Just for future Forum Searchers, flashing from CWR sd card to install CM7 on a not rooted stock Nook Color worked fine.

In fact, I had been running for days off the SD card, and when I tried to boot the regular NC today, it was stuck on the "Silver N" screen with the Adobe note. But flashing to CM7 using a CWR sd card fixed that as well.

So, I'm running 31 on eMMC now (sorry, I don't own a Bluetooth device... yet).

Again, thanks to all who provided advice.
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
Nope, if you use a bootable CWR to install a custom ROM (ie CM7) it will completely overwrite the eMMC. Like Nike said, just do it... :)

(I however am a BIG advocate of making backups before doing anything, so I would suggest doing a nand backup of your stock rom with that bootable SD before flashing CM7 just in case.)

Yes, you are making a backup OF the stock internal TO the sd card. In my (now old) write-up I was already rooted at time of CM7 install, so that is why it seems to imply that way.

Correct, but it is important to state that a newer SD image is available with CWRv3.0.1.0 now whereas I used v3.0.0.6.

Glad to hear that things worked out (I knew they would).

Also, just to point out that you do NOT have to root before installing a custom ROM in order to have market and other google apps works. Realize that installing a custom ROM (ie CM7, Phiremod, UD) you will be OVERWRITING everything that the root process did anyway... don't waste your time if you plan to use CM7 or others, just go straight there. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] Xhorder:
this is probably a stupid noob question, but has anyone gotten Titanium Backup running properly with a recent CM7 version?

It runs for me, but it FCs a lot and when I try to restore anything, it just hangs forever...

Odd Google Maps Navigator Behavior

I'm running CM7 n30 on my SD Card. I use GPS Tether with my Vibrant to add navigation to the nook. It works good except for one problem. Whenever I reboot CM7 I the Navigator app disappears. Google Maps is fine. I have to uninstall and reinstall Google Maps from the market to get Navigator back.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Is it because of the SDCard install vs. eMMC install?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
No, that happens for me on EMMC, too.

I believe it's because Navigation is only available on devices with GPS. When you reboot, Maps sees that you have no GPS before you get the tether running and disables Navigation.

I think it comes back if you start the GPS and set up a route in Maps, though. Doesn't it?
[Nook Color Android Development] bobshute:
it does...Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
It is more flaky but runs for me ok. I've even restored with it on cm7.

WiFi Connection Drops Solved & Screen Calibration Question

FYI: I was having some problems with the WiFi connection at the house with both the NC and the Google CR-48 netbook (dropped connections) -- the suggestion from a CR-48 site was to only use AES encryption and not TKIP with WPA. I checked my D-Link router and it was set to both AES and TKIP encryption. When I changed to AES only, both devices were fixed.

Now, I haven't seen this discussed here but is anyone else having trouble with the NC on CM7 recognizing the button presses when they are close to the edge of the screen. Seems I have to repeatedly attempt button presses there. I don't know that it's a hardware issue because the notification buttons seem to work fine. Anyone else experiencing this? Does the screen need calibration and if so how is this done?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I have not had any issues with WiFi for quite sometime, I have even been able to connect via tether to my Incredible
[Nook Color Android Development] tarheeldan:
I have this same issue and have it running off of EMMC. Started a thread about this here and someone kindly suggested grabbing an old version of Maps e.g. from Phiremod.

After work, I'm first going to:

Try loading up Maps making sure that TetherGPS is active, and see if Nav option pops up in driving directions.

If not, then uninstalling and installing the old version of Maps.apk.

*ETA: Shoulda read next few posts before gunning the reply. Still, sounds like using an older version of Maps bypasses needing to go into Maps first in order to get to Nav.

How long does it usually take to Fix Permissions? Seems to be taking forever. And what does it do exactly?
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Am I correct that the CM7 "Encore" Nightly Zip file, when installed from an SD card:

- Does not install CWR on the NC, and

- Does not do anything in the BOOT partition

Is this correct ?
[Nook Color Android Development] minotauri:
it can take a long time depending on what you have installed. it changes apps and associated files to the proper read-write permissions. sometimes they arent set right and can cause force-closes because apps cant access the files they need.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
It does not do either of those automatically.
[Nook Color Android Development] JeremyNT:
I'm also wondering about this. I see weird glitchy touch detection around the edges too, often times resulting in accidentally dragging buttons off of the ADW launch bar (if I leave that unlocked).

I downloaded an app called "Touch Test" and it seems like my touches register properly there, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
[Nook Color Android Development] xwint3rxmut3x:
I'm pretty sure this is an ongoing issue that's existed since the beginning. Even on a rooted stock Nook I was having issues trying to click the search button in the market due to it's location on my screen. Someone can correct me on this, but I believe that Dalringan OC Kernel has built in fixes for some of the touchscreen wonkiness.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
With the auto-nootered stock build, one could very easily run a manual re-calibration (using shell commands via adb or TermEmulator) that fixed the touch problems rather well. Would the same process -- or similar -- work with the CM7 build?

I'm also experiencing touchscreen issues near the edges with my n31 build... :(
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
here are the instructions to calibrate..........

Sometimes the nook will start seeing "phantom touches" or inaccurate touches, or not respond to reasonable touches. When that happens you need to recalibrate the touch screen.

Credit to IO-monster for finding this.

From a command prompt on a pc connected to a rooted nook type:

adb shell

echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/2-0022/forcecal

wait 10 seconds then type

dmesg

You should see messages about calibration like:

cyttsp:Calibration successful

ttsp_forcecal_store: Forcing TP calibration NOW.

ttsp_forcecal_show:ttsp_forcecal_show:

ttsp_forcecal_show:ttsp_forcecal_show: tpfwver=00

If you got the "Calibration successful" message you did everything right. Now type:

reboot

If the calibration isn't yet good enough, there are three "tricks" to try.

1.	do the echo command while having a finger on the screen lightly

2.	cover the screen with plastic wrap and issue the echo command

3.	do the echo command with the screen facing down. This makes it SUPER sensitive.

Retrieved from http://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen

When the 3 tricks say, "do the echo command" I assume it's the echo command above in bold?

question on applying the nightlies.

If you apply the nightly, and you want to keep using the OC kernal, did the nightly over-write it, and do you have to reflash it also, after flashing the nightly update?
