Anything other than 160 also breaks Ultra Keyboard, resulting in just half of the keyboard floating in the center of the screen.

You don't need to wipe anything if you are upgrading from a previous CM7 build. Just flash over it.

[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
Installed build 11 today, and I thought I installed the OC kernel correctly but it seems like the performance is somewhat diminished on the system. Not trying to complain, just letting the devs know. In addition when I installed SetCPU it told me that the CPU was set to max scale up to 800 by default, and every time I reboot I need to set the max scale to 1100 myself to get it to max scale. Still, even when overclocking is reportedly working, scrolling was extremely chunky in menus and such

Kernel info says erik@myhost #91, PREEMPT 2/25/2011 so I believe it is the right one.

I have used FontChanger (free in the market) on my DroidX and this build. It has a built in Density changer. I also like to change my fonts.

I have the density set at 220 and I have used all the apps without issue. Thought I read somewhere that you have to use the lower default or over 200 (maybe 210) to avoid error...

If I may offer up, use NewsRob with your Google feeds. Just install and put in your info. Has different settings for caching offline which is useful for this tablet on which I won't always have an Internet connection.
[Nook Color Android Development] digitalslacker:
Yeah I used news rob back before the stock google reader app came out. might give it another try at least on the nook, thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
I see now that the "kernel no longer overclocks be default on reboot". According to the Dalingrin kernel page.

While that explains the apparent OC issue, it doesn't explain why the menus seem so slow on my NC. I will do a backup and a clean install when I get home.

CM7 CIFS support?

Just wondering what's needed to get CIFS support back?

Since going from BN to CM7, that's the only thing I truly miss...

What speed is this running at? Stock 800 mhz?
[Nook Color Android Development] n0c:
Yeah this is a shock to me as well.. That nobody seems to care that VPN is b0rk and there is apparently no plan to make it work. I can tell you it's really limiting the usefulness of the NC for me, but I am definitely grateful for all of the development work that is and has been done. What a great device (that could be even better with more robust networking support!)
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Funny thing is...I could have sworn VPN worked fine either in the earlier nightlies or 7.0 stable. I'm wondering if this is a kernel issue.

Might not even be an issue with CM7 at all but rather a general Android issue. From personal experience, having worked at an IT support desk for a fairly large university, VPN support on Android just seems spotty and hit or miss. I have seen many people with various Android devices from 2.1 and higher that have had issues either with PPTP, L2TP, or both.

Airplane mode bug? :D

Install Android Assistant from Market, open it, tap the "tools" tab at the top, then look for the airplane button in the lower right corner. Make sure it's gray. If it's blue, tap it to clear it.
[Nook Color Android Development] tj!2k7:
Would it be possible for CM devs to consider disabling Airplane mode on the Nook...? Or at least implementing an option in the CM settings to disable it?
[Nook Color Android Development] productofusa:
Come to think of it this started happening after I accidently tapped Airplane Mode hmmm.

yup, same here, gotta tap wifi twice usually, but only started happening post nightly 162, worked fine previously.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Heh, something like this (and this and this -- it was a long night) from February?

It was a quick jam-the-stick method and it worked. I can't remember why, but the whole overlay file got pulled at some point.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I tried the "7.1" builds some weeks back, and experienced wifi issues (for the first time) and SODs, so I went back to 7.0 stable, since I need my Nook Color for everyday productivity uses.

I don't have any problem with 7.0 other than battery drain.

I still see the SOD thread, so it seems that SODs remain an issue, so it seems odd that an RC or stable would be released.

Am I missing something (I have not been reading all the threads this summer) ?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Turn off wifi when the screen is off and you'll have no SOD's. Otherwise, yes, it's still an issue that Dalingrin hasn't been able to reproduce and is pretty hard to diagnose.
[Nook Color Android Development] tj!2k7:
Wow, thanks. =) So there's a chance it might be added/re-added/implemented in the future then?
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
I only get SOD when i try to download something and put the nook into sleep mode.

[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
Did you try going in CM7 Control Panel to Applications/Netflix and clearing the cache and/or data?

You'll have to re-enter your account info, but it may well cure it. That's worked for me on numerous occasions.

My wife is having problem with the notification bar and soft buttons crashing fairly often.

Is there way to restart it without rebooting nook ?

Latest stable cm7 installed.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
The function needs to be set by the CM7 maintainer in order to enable the storage swap. I hope our maintainer sets the flag to enable it. I would really like to use the internal storage. Until I figured it out I moved everything off of my SD and onto the internal storage only to move it back. If you look at the P999 commits you will see a commit that enabled the storage swap.

[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Hot restart, several apps in the Market for this. Just restarts Android vs the tablet. It's a bit faster than a full reboot.

I've never once seen this restart a dead notification bar. Ever. If it crashes and doesn't come back on its own, this never helps. For some reason launcher Tasker makes the notification bar crash frequently and I've tried restarting the bar many times, each time I just did a hot reboot to get it back.

The one thing it is good for is when the notification bar (statusui in the processes) is using insane amounts of cpu (30-60% sometimes) you can safely restart it using this app..
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I have not had a chance to test the new application storage switch so I haven't enabled it yet. Will try it out tonight.
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
Thanks Dal, I think that it will really benefit the Nook, if it works.

One thing it is going to break is all of the apps that cache to the SD card and if anyone moved apps to the sdcard. I already peeped my Nook for the change in hopes it comes.

[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Just so you guys don't think I've abandoned the Nook Color for the HP Touchpad, here are a few commits that are in review:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7581

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7582

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7583

Sadly nothing major this time. B&N 1.3 update brought nothing of real value in the kernel. Updated touch screen driver but nothing too major. Also, it looks like there may be a future revision of the Nook Color that will sport a different touch screen.

My guess is it will be a Nook Color with 1ghz CPU, 3G, and new touch screen.
[Nook Color Android Development] jeremyshaw:
I don't beleive your work and effort for the nook color will ever be undervalued.

My hopes on a future nook color are a thinner bezel, and perhaps a dual core CPU, since even the cellular phones are getting them, now :eek:

Of course, most of this is upto bn and their upstream sources. :(

[Nook Color Android Development] Dj-Gutz:
Thanks dalingrin , your work is highly appreciated :)

I just updated to the latest nightly and its seems that something is wrong with the pl2303 driver

it doesn't recognize the driver , and doesn't route it to ttyUSB0

as opposed to n165 ( last one I used ) that got it recognized fine :

<7>pl2303 1-1.5:1.0: usb_probe_interface
<7>pl2303 1-1.5:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id
<6>pl2303 1-1.5:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
<6>usb 1-1.5: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

If you need a log from n171 just let me know I forgot to save it but as far as I recall it seems pretty identical to n165 just without the lines I specified above

It seems that the USB GPS commit only change the permissions so I'm guessing it has something to do with the 1.3 update?

Also , Is it possible to force it to connect to ttyUSB9 instead of 0?

There isn't much info on the web about connecting usb-gps to android but it seems that gps apps are looking for ttyUSB9

Here is what I managed to get with the n165 regarding the usb gps:

Not sure on changing the device. I forgot to commit the updated config with the pl2303 driver. I'll commit an updated kernel now.

The internal and external storage swap works well. The only thing was moving all of the data around.

Hey painter, how does that swap work? Does it let you use the gigs on the emcc? Care to elaborate?

Thanks in advance.

I still can't get the new internal storage option to work. It is greyed out and unselectable. I built cm7 this morning to include the kernel update post n171. How did u get it to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Make sure your build.prop has these lines

ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/emmc;/mnt/usbdisk
ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/emmc
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
If you have moved any programs to the SD using the built in app 2 SD, ether uninstall them of move them back to the main storage.

I made sure that both the EMMC and the SDcard was empty by moving all of the stuff to my PC and clearing the storage areas. Then I rebooted the Nook and picked the option to use the internal storage.

I had to do the same process on my phone (G2x) to swap the storage.
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
The build prop changes are in nightly 171.:D
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
I'm well aware, but like I almost did, he could have replaced the build.prop with an older modded one.
[Nook Color Android Development] patruns:
Wow! Since nightly 115? I'm surprised someone hadn't reported it much earlier....
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
That nightly number refers to the P999 phone, not the Nook. I think it correlates with the Nook's nightly of 170 or 171, I am to lazy to look.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Actually only the first line referenced a few posts back was in my build.prop. adding the second fixed it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Dj-Gutz:
Thanks dalingrin , now it's back to normal :)

There is still work to be done for that to work

I'm trying to figure out how to get the gps data to the gps apps ( and android in general )

The only device with working usb-gps I've seen is Zenithink ZT-180

they have it on ttyUSB9 otherwise it doesn't work

It's seems to be something that can be changed on rom/kernel ( altough some ppl say it depends on the gps device )

The other option is to write an app like BT-GPS that receives data through ttyUSB0 and send it to mock locations or something ( I'm not at that coding level so if someone wants to try be my guest :) )

Need some info. If u have the new storage option enabled. Are thy moved to the jnternal five gig partition by selecting move to phone, or move to SD card?
[Nook Color Android Development] woot1524:
The switch makes the 5gig media partition mount as 'sdcard' and the physical SD-card mount as 'emmc', so yes anything that says or deals with the sd-card will now affect the 5gig media partition. That is if you enable the settings option, and then do a reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Yah figured it out. Thanks. How does that effect a nandroid? By default the 5gig is backed up in a nandroid. Same thing?
[Nook Color Android Development] psychoace:
If you do the change and you use Rom manager to download your roms they won't be accessible in recovery. You have to make sure to copy them to your external SD card before you jump to recovery
[Nook Color Android Development] TheSapient:
I flashed the lastest nightly last night. Today I was having some WIFI issues, so I restored a backup from a week or so ago. Now I can't get past the "Cyanogen7 Loading...." screen. This is true if I try to boot up normally or try to boot into recovery.

Do I have to boot to an SD card and reflash CM7 from there? Does this mean I am going to lose all my app data and settings and all that? I'm running CM7 from the eMMC.

Is anyone else having trouble hiding the button bar within various apps? The hide button only appears sometimes, and is almost always unavailable when browsing with Dolphin.

I'm also having issues with the keyboard not popping up when I go to type into various text boxes (also in Dolphin). Or sometimes it will appear and immediately disappear. Restarting Dolphin usually fixes it for a little bit and then the problem reappears.

Both were working fine on the 7.0.3 release. I noticed the issue when I jumped onto the nightlies starting at 168.

I changed my dpi to 160 so that the new Market would work. Could it be related to that? Everything else seems to be fine...

[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Hmm, u may be misunderstanding. With the old kernel base wifi would not shut off when the screen was off so the NC would never deep sleep. Wifi was basically set to never sleep. The problem was fixed awhile ago. You can set sleep policy for whatever u like. It will deep sleep.

[Nook Color Android Development] gbohm:
cm never comes preinstalled with gapps.

there are different gapp packets avaible in the rom manager the newest one should be from mid june so no new market market updater should update it with time

or you just install it yourself(not very stable on the nc btw)
[Nook Color Android Development] :
With wifi set to never sleep the Nook could go to sleep and not be able to be awoken, requiring a hard reset. The bug bit me several times so I've quit letting mine ever go to sleep. It was still a problem around two months ago for sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I've never really had that issue. Good to know though.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
What? Yes, deep sleep with wifi enabled and networking stuff active can lead to sleep of death. Wifi disabled when the screen is off eliminates this problem completely.

Wifi policy does not necessarily do it. It only switches wifi off when it's inactive, "some time" after screen off.
[Nook Color Android Development] Barleyman:
Ok, I was just wondering if people get it preinstalled and/or if there's something different in more recent nightlies that imply its ok to update market.

I know new market bad mmkay.
