Bug: Screenshots in CM 7.0.2

Found a bug in 7.0.2. Where is the right place to report it?

Ok first part, not a bug: Screenshots work out of the box!

Bug: Screenshots are acting oddly. If you take a screenshot in portrait, it saves in landscape, requiring a manual rotation. Tried using "screenshot" by giksoft and "screen shot it trial".

Taking a screenshot in landscape works fine in both apps. PS for anyone that tries to replicate, you need to choose the "inverse colors" option first.

Thanks again for CM on the NC!

Anyone else seeing the accelerometer not working in games? I've tried two games (Angular Velocity and Tilt Arena) that rely on tilting the device, but neither recognize when I move my Nook. I remember tilt games working on the stock ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
what version are you using? works fine for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] spiffytech:
I'm back on nightly 40.
[Nook Color Android Development] jimvsmij:
I have the CM 7.0.0 on my nook. I see there is now a stable CM 7.0.2. How hard would it be to switch to the 7.0.2 and how do I do it? If it's a lot of trouble is it worth it?
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
I'm using the newest release + overclock kernel and not experiencing any problems with accelerometer...
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
It is no trouble at all, and with lots of little bug fixes everywhere, it is worth it. Just download the rom, flash it with CWM, wipe cache (not data), and reboot. You should be good to go.
[Nook Color Android Development] jimvsmij:
Thanks! I'll try it when I get home!!:D
[Nook Color Android Development] jimvsmij:
It installed just fine. No problems! Thanks again!

Hey I have a question. Is it possible to change the size of the icons? Maybe it's right in front of me in the settings but I'm not seeing it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
What is the best kernel to run with 7.0.2? I have been using dalingrin's 4-18C?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
The latest kernel is the best. 4/24 or whatever it is.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
And the best way to stay up to date is using the Kernel manager app, which will let you download his latest works as he posts them. No more hunting large XDA posts. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Yup.

Kernel Manager will also finally bring an easy and common way to install kernels on SD card installations.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
I downloaded the app. So I can just flash it from the app right?
[Nook Color Android Development] ylixir:
Eh, I tried kernel manager with the 4/24 and it managed to leave both my sd cm7 and my emmc stock unbootable. My theory is that it installed the kernel on one and the modules on another, but idk.

To be fair neither verygreen's recovery or cwm worked either, i wound up adbing into cwm and pushing the files by hand. Dunno if there was something wrong with the edify scripts for the sd version or what it was.

Either way, if you have cm7 on an sd i dunno if i would use kernel manager just yet...
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Yessir, it will automatically clear cache and dalvik cache as well.

Take note that only eMMC kernels are posted at the moment. SD card support will require an update. It should be coming this week.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
The kernels say "eMMC" for a reason =)

SD card support to come this week. It already works perfect for eMMC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
Thanks worked like a champ. You are the "Man".
[Nook Color Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Use rom manager
[Nook Color Android Development] mkm1126:
I am running CM 7.0.2 with the latest OC kernel. Everything is great except I notice when I scroll through posts in Tapatalk, or through a directory in Astro, or on a web page, it's very choppy and not smooth. Any ideas? I'm using 1200 max, 600 min with interactive govenor.

Thanks for all the great work on this!
[Nook Color Android Development] rigy73:
I also have the same problem, scrolling is a bit choppy. I am at 1.3 (phiremod 6.1) no other problems so far.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Slow scrolling through lists is a known issue on tablet resolutions with CM7. You can look at logcat to see the problem. The garbage collector goes crazy. We're trying to narrow down where its coming from.

This does not affect web pages. I find scrolling in web pages faster than eclair and froyo. It can still be slow on some web pages due to the fact that Android doesn't accelerate the stock browser. Try Opera Mobile which uses the GPU.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Just hope B&N and google win the lawsuit so opera can man up and not render the whole page before displaying it. That's the only thing that makes me sad in opera
[Nook Color Android Development] jzibit17:
setcpu stays at Max cpu

I know I read this somewhere but I can't find the answer. I have 7.0.2 with the 4/24 OC kernel. Before updating from stock kernel set CPU would fluctuate. Now no matter what governor I use it stays at what ever the Max is set at.... and yes the stock OC under settings is turn off....
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
SetCPU isn't compatible with CM7 iirc. If you want to have CPU overclocking or governing, you need to use an OC kernel such as this and adjust the settings in "Cyanogenmod Settings".
[Nook Color Android Development] jzibit17:
Ok thanks I'm just use to setting a screen off profile on my phone. There's plenty of post where people have described that they are using a sleep profile on set CPU. So I thought it was a bug or something that keep it at Max. I wasn't aware it isn't compatible I read that the temperature profile isn't compatible not that the whole program wasn't.
[Nook Color Android Development] robot8:
Are you using SetCPU with a profile?
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Yup, setcpu works great and I like the widget and being able to set the refresh time. With the OC kernels setcpu will fail if you use profiles within the app. I also try not to use both the CM CPU performance settings at the same time as setcpu, not sure if one or the other has priority, I just don't want to find out the hard way. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] jzibit17:
I tried using a sleep profile but ill guess if you can't use a sleep profile I don't see a point on running setcpu since CM has one already under the settings. Or do you guys find it that it runs better to use setcpu rather than the stock overclock under CM settings?
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
SetCPU works just fine as long as you don't use any profiles...
[Nook Color Android Development] atirage:
Try LCD Density for root from Android Market.

[Nook Color Android Development] spiffytech:
Have you tried specifically with the games Angular Velocity and Tilt Arena? I upgraded to 7.0.2 stable and the games still don't get accelerometer input. I tried on a friend's NC also running 7.0.2 and the games don't work on his either.
[Nook Color Android Development] Teksu:
Confirmed, these apps are not responding to the accelerometer, however others do, like "drop" by "out of pixels" (however some graphics do not scale correctly, the game is still "playable" but a much better experience on my incredible)
[Nook Color Android Development] long2know:
Has anyone else noticed that ADW EX transitions are very slow on CM7? They're super smooth on Eclair and Froyo though..
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
ADW was horrible for me, with Launcher Pro being MUCH better..
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Yes I can confirm that ADW seemed super laggy on CM7 but very smooth in froyo.. and my setup being heavily dependent on adw, it was one of the reasons I still run froyo.

<Nookie Comb via XDA Premium >
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Adw ex is working very well for me. The only thing that is slow is the 3d app drawer if I use a transparent background.
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
Same here. I have a black background for the drawer and it's smooth as butter.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
There are some changes coming to ADW in CM7 soon. Its a known problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Early 2.6.32 build posted.

Please read the pros and cons on the OP before you flash. This is not an amazing build. Its primarily built from B&N source without modifications.

I need feedback from those who have had wifi issues with AES and such. I've built a brand new wifi drivers and I'm hoping it helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] chadamir:
Dal, do you think theres a chance of a nightly soon?
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
Second run quadrant 1448. Everything seems a bit snappier than previous CM7 at 800 Mhz. Wireless works great- I am no longer getting random dropouts. I could be crazy, but speaker seems louder than previous non-OC kernels.

Thanks for letting us taste dalingrin!
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
Installed over latest oc test kernel with RM. Interesting boot animation. :D Was surprised that delete dalvik cache was checked in RM. I've never seen that before.

First boot, couldn't run on bluetooth, so turned off wireless, held down the power button until it powered off, then turned it on and again tried to turn on bluetooth, still won't turn on.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
You need to read the OP. I typed those things for a reason :eek:

Any i referenced to read them in my post:
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
Bluetooth doesn't work, bro.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
Sorry if this has already been answered, but is this OCable to 1300?
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
No, the new build tops at 800mhz. That is why dal warned us it would feel slower.
[Nook Color Android Development] tominabox1:
New test build does not show the lock screen full size.
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
Which part?

-Market partially works

****fixed****

-Bluetooth does not work

****Update**** Bluetooth now works in CM7.

- No bluetooth(Completely different method to communicate with BT chip is in progress)

Market does not work. Stupid zombies app is completely gone (even the icon).

I did read, but I guess missed the third reference to bluetooth. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I thought the box/indentation would make it clear.

Test build:

+ The nook now sleeps

+ Finally able to build a new wifi driver

- No bluetooth(Completely different method to communicate with BT chip is in progress)

- No hardware overlay(causes medium/high resolution videos to stutter)

- Overall performance isn't that great especially if you are used to OC kernels

- Not well tested, who knows what other problems might exist

Would be great to get feedback on wifi from those that have had wifi issues in the past.

Only flash if you know how to use adb, get logs and troubleshoot on your own!

[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
makes sense to me :)

nook is charging but i will load this up in a few and see how it goes.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Could you explain what not having the hardware overlay means? Any reason it doesn't? Any way you can make an oveclock kernel of it?

From 1.2 Nook Color
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Wow. How do people get the right download link but totally miss the instructions :S
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
*Sigh* I really want to try it... But I love 1300mhz to much to give it up for better sleep right now.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I explain what it means next to it in parentheses. Just affects video playback. Medium and high resolution videos will stutter.

No overclock kernel yet. Too many more important things to worry about first. Getting everything working in CM7 is my top priority. Then I'll tweak and add overclocks, etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] luciferii:
i flashed the new .36 update.. the screen colors were outstanding.. but it kept crashing left and right for reason like trying to open tapatalk.. qbism icon and app were completely gone... otherwise a good start, thanks for your work dalingrin!
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
dal has said the problem with the stock ROM and video playback is poor codecs.

This ROM's issue is more like one of the mid April kernels, fast motion in videos look bad.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
The DSP is okay. It is the overlay. The overlay is how the video buffer is pushed from DSP to the screen. In a hardware overlay it goes from the DSP to the GPU without needing to be handled by the CPU. Without the hardware overlay you will see high CPU usage while playing a video. This is why videos of medium or high resolution and bit rates will stutter. Easier videos like HQ videos on the YouTube should be fine though.

This is caused by the 2.6.32 kernel with the newer Gingerbread frameworks. It'll just take a little time to track down the cause.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Thanks Dal, and I greatly appreciate your explanation.

From 1.2 Nook Color
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
Everything runs well except video.

Rockplayer had garbled video and moboplayer simply rebooted the nook. Locked up once opening quickpic but opened fine after reboot. Games all played fine. Dolphin mini scrolls fine. Launcher pro nice and smooth. Wifi works well.
[Nook Color Android Development] henel321:
Will try it with wpa2/aes today and wpa2/eap/tls when I get to work tomorrow...

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Moboplayer and YouTube App both work fine playing video's for me on this early build. Even without oc everything seems really snappy.

Edit: Apps installed to SD (Angry Birds, Hexdefense, etc) show up under Manage Applications, but not in the app drawer or under My Apps in the Market. Trying to delete and reinstall gets an "Installation Error - Couldn't install to USB or SD device". Move to phone also throws up an "Failed to move application. The applications does not exist."
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
I have the same SD error.

I was one of those with wifi issues. On the previous test kernels wifi would drop often. Even the stock CM7 kernel and 4/04 I would have occasional drops. With this new 7.1.0 build with the new very preliminary test kernel, I have yet to have a wifi drop. I still have aes turned off but will test with more variables tomorrow, such as sleep and wake issues and aes on. Not sure how long I can test without apps from sd tho..

I do see good performance with this kernel at 800, much better then I did on previous stock kernel the same speed, very nice. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] keyodi:
Is anyone else unable to mount the sdcard when connected via usb with the test build? I select USB Connected from status bar, but it does nothing.
[Nook Color Android Development] henel321:
Sd error here as well.

No problems whatsoever on wpa2 with AES the last two hours, but the real test is EAP tomorrow... :)

The Nook can not win this fight, I will fight dirty if i have to, i'm about ready to bite my nook and kick it in its nether regions
[Nook Color Android Development] bradputt:
is it me or did dal took the test build off?

i couldn't find it in the OP.

EDIT: oh darn! i found it..... just in front of my eyes.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Just loaded update-cm-7.1.0-encore-2.6.32-signed.zip onto the sd card. Used verygreen size-agnostic SDCard CM7 installer. No problems so far. Install File Expert app and loaded the hulu fix. It works with this ROM.

Edit: Just used samuelhalff app to update video file on emmc. Really looking forward to OC, hardware acceleration, and bluetooth adventures. I have the phiremod V6.2 with OC 4/24 on emmc for my daily use.
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
Ok, got the test build installed. Have not tested a lot yet, got it installed and went to bed.

Major problem I had and it could be my fault in how I installed the update. I am coming from doing myTouch 4G and captivate cell phones. Only had the Nook for 1 1/2 days.

What I did:

Downloaded the test 7.1 build to my sd card.

From Rom Manager booted in to Recovery

In Recovery Formated Cache and Delvik Cache

Installed the update

Rebooted and all seemed fine.

Got to looking and a couple icons on my desktop were GENERIC android icons, clicking on them and nothing app was not there. Deleted one of the icons and tried to reinstall the app and when it went to install, it sad the app was there and asked if ok to overwrite it. I said yes and then got App Not Installed.

Could not find the app on /data/app or anywhere.

For the second missing app, I long pressed on it on the home screen and then in on the ADW popup, selected Application Info and uninstalled the app, and I could install that app with out a problem.

Ended up doing a FULL wipe and install of the Test build. Will see how it goes.
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
Other findings

- setcpu no longer hogs the cpu when using profiles

- screen off animation, yay :)

- google maps and google earth pinch to zoom is erratic at best
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
Google maps, pinch to zoom seems to be working fine.

Love the screen off animation. Always loved it on my phone (myTouch 4G)

Can not get XDA 1.4.2 to work, after I log in, when I go to my favorites, I try to go to one of the threads and it just FC's

Anyone else using XDA app?
[Nook Color Android Development] sinanju:
that's been happening to me for ages on all kernels and versions.
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
Ok, thanks, it works fine on CM7 on my phone. Just not on the Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
It will fix if you install Tapatalk Pro. But then you have to pay for Tapatalk Pro. It's a shame they haven't fixed that bug yet. Coming from XDA should be compatible with CM7.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
Haven't installed yet, but for those with SD card problems, I have found similar problems each time I upgrade to a new nightly. A reboot fixed it each time. I'm not saying that's the problem this time, but it's worth a shot.

Would some one go to the Android Market and try to download and install the Free version of Aldiko Book Reader.

When I do, I get Installation Error.

Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.

When I updated to the 7.1 last night, when I rebooted, Aldiko which had a shortcut on the home screen just showed a Generic Android Icon and would not launch and when I tried to reinstall last night, it said App was already installed and did I want to replace and it would not install, I did a full wipe and reinstall of 7.1 and now it just gives the above error on install.

thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
Since others are claiming a snappier kernel then the original .29 kernel that was being used. Would love to see some quadrant scores so we know what to expect when we start seeing OC kernels.
[Nook Color Android Development] knaries2000:
That has nothing to do with the kernel it is because the nook lacks a radio so it does not have imei. That is the same reason why swype does not work. You need to apply the imei patch from the general forum to get it to work. search for it there.
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
Ok, thanks, will look and give it a try.

running CM7 2.6.32.9 test build.

maybe just me, i think my nook not entering deep sleep. this is based on observed standby battery drain (still 1%/hr), looking at battery history in spare parts, and report from CPU Spy app by storm717 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011497), attached screenshot after 4 hours standby with wifi off.

will wipe and reinstall, try again with sleep.

what is intended "level" of sleep with test build? is the wakelock still in place?

otherwise everything works except same USB SD card issue.

EDIT: format system/data/cache, flashed test 2.6.32.9, booted virgin build no gapps, still no deep sleep. great build otherwise, whereas with 042411 OC kernel power felt extravagant everything here feels SMOOTH. thanks for letting us test the builds and kernels.

2nd EDIT: played around with it bit more, wanna emphasize how SMOOTH this test build is. disagree with other posters, when CM7 2.6.32.9 deep sleeps would prefer this over any OC.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Yup, the first things I tried after seeing the SD app problem were to reboot, reinstall and flash back to the current nightly and back to the test build. I tried reinstalling the apps via Titanium Backup to sd and no go. I can see the sd card via a file explorer on the Nook, but the apps are not showing as installed and will not let me install them to sdcard. I have also checked in settings to allow apps to be installed by location tried all that...

I know to check everything I know before I post here, you guys don't miss a thing! ..and I do, lol.

Dalingrin posted in the op about many potential unknown issues, maybe this is one? But he wanted to here fromus wifi problem guys.

On the plus side, still rocking solid wifi with no drops or reconnect issues like I had to some degree on all kernels but far more frequently with the latest oc test kernels 4/11 - 4/24. With this test version nobdrops at all so far.

Edit: just had wifi turn spontaneously on its own. Not the normal drop with wifi signal icon unchanged I was experiencing in the past, this just shut wifi off by its self. I manually turned it back on and alls well. I will monitor it more and see if this was an isolated event.

Edit 2: The performance and responsiveness is very impressive at only 800 MHz. foreshadowing of things to come... ? :)

Wifi still solid, major difference in reliability and connection.

Edit 3: Changed my router to AES cipher mode and wifi dropped. Could not reconnect at all, forget networks, reboot, all tried.

See Logcat attached.
[Nook Color Android Development] JoshMiers:
I have the same issue with Aldiko.

Same here. Spare Parts still shows the Nook as running 100% of the time. I checked /sys/power/wake_lock and there isn't the "1" value hack that was there on previous kernels, so something else is preventing it from sleeping.
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
Used it for about an hour last night and had no problems. However, when I woke up this morning my nook was powered off -- it turned on and booted up just fine, though.
[Nook Color Android Development] Slack3r:
Just flashed the test build, no problems so far. HQ videos on youtube play with no issues, and everything else I've tried seems pretty smooth so far, lack of an OC kernel aside :P

I'm using the flash player from the 1.2 update, not sure if that would affect playback or not.
