Geez, can you imagine the NC w/o dalingrin? We'd be stuck!
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
I just want to make sure whether it should be installed at system/app/ or at data/app/ . does it matter?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Too true. We don't have a huge dev community, but what we have is nothing short of amazing. Frankly, i don't know how the put up with so many of our annoying questions/actions (mine included.. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
1: run it

2: don't know how much of an improvement I've seen. I get some wicked frame chopping when I watch the bottom of the video.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I never use Flash videos on the Nook so my testing was limited.

I went to youtube.com with the stock browser and watched two different videos with the market downloaded flash 10.2. One video was really really choppy and the other was not quite as bad. Both were terrible full screen. I checked logcat and /kernel/debug and saw that it wasn't using the DSP as expected.

Then I grabbed flash from the B&N update and tried again. This time both videos were smooth even in full screen, albeit with A/V sync issues that come and go. Checked the logs to verify that the DSP was being used.

I also tried B&N flash with and without libflashhwrenderer.so and with and without the DSP codecs from B&N Froyo. Neither made a difference.

That's the extent of my testing.

Back to finals.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Thanks. I wasn't saying it wasn't, I just wasn't sure. I do get some chopping when I use the tv streaming app. blah flash!

Stupid finals..
[Nook Color Android Development] queseyo:
I finally took the plunge to cm7 from rooted.

Running 7.0.2 stable

04/04 OC kernel. 300/1100

Flash from 1.2

What can I say, everything works beautifully well and smooth in general, browsing is finally fun. Thank you dalingrin and everyone else who put it together and continue developing for this device, where would we be without you. Thank you, Gracias, Merci.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluewhite79:
oh damn, i forgot to wipe cache before updating to 7.0.2

will i be ok?

also, do i need to reflash the OC kernel once i flash the update?
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Uninstall Flash 10.2

Copy the Flash 10.1 apk to /system/app after setting the folder to R/W (easiest is with Root Explorer)

Click on 10.1 apk to get the "install ?" popup and install

Reset the folder to R/O

Reboot is probably a good idea at this point

BTW, the Flash 10.1 apk is from /system/app on B&N Froyo, which is why I put it there.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
I think you can just uninstall Flash 10.2, and then open the Flash 10.1 apk and hit install. That worked fine for me at least!
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Many people have installed new versions of CM7 on older versions of CM7 without wiping cache, with no apparent ill effects.

Each version of CM7 includes a kernel, so that overwrites whatever kernel was previously there. So, if you want OC kernel, then yes you need to reflash it after every CM7 install.
[Nook Color Android Development] jessesse:
I'm not sure if its common knowledge but when I use the xda app with the overclock kernel whether I'm over clocking or not I get force closes and wont retain my log in :(

Am I missing something? Tried reinstalling and clearing app data and fixing permissions..

I have changed the LCD density but tried it at stock (161) too..

The only thing that worked for me is reflashing the rom over again losing the awesome Oc kernel.

Oh and the fact any of this is possible on the nook is amazing and give much thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
The xda app seems to FC on just about everybody when you log in...
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
There was an update that fixed that issue with XDA Premium, check the market for an update
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
Was getting FC on the XDA app until I upgraded to premium. Now all is right in the world, and it keeps me logged in. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] jessesse:
Thank you thank you and thank you...! (logged in on PC to hit the thanks buttons)
[Nook Color Android Development] Dhyneland:
I thought I read this somewhere but cant for the life of me find it again. Is it safe to disable Phone Idle and Cell Standby, and if so how do you do it? Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] bradputt:
delete phone.apk, telephony.apk and mms.apk in system\apps
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I prefer not to delete move the files or rename the extension, just in case you need them.

Once you do this you need to reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Pointless, don't bother. It is not going to increase your battery, they are doing nothing.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Google just released a new Google Docs app, but it doesn't show up in the market for NC CM7. Not sure what requirement is filtering it out.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
take pictures?
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Its likely a camera permission which I am including in the next nightly.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
I noticed the camera feature after I posted. Thanks for the update.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
I wonder if there are other permissions filtering out certain apps outside of Camera?
[Nook Color Android Development] jessesse:
As soon as I rename phone.apk I get a constant force close.. did I need to disable it first from

applications-->settings?

I normally wouldn't mind but I want to give my mom a nook for mothers day and don't want to confuse her with phone/mms etc...
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
To funny, I am doing the same thing for my mom.

As for your problem, have you tried just freezing then in titanium backup?
[Nook Color Android Development] jessesse:
One more quick question.. I can boot to recovery by holding down power + N but not from the reboot menu in cm. Is this normal?
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Yes. I don't believe the reboot recovery button ever worked, except for in Rom Manager.
[Nook Color Android Development] furius:
I'm back to this question because I'm still not able to connect to adhoc wifi with my nexus one. I tried both replacing the wpa_supplicant and editing the tiwlan.ini ...

I'm able however to connect to infrastructure wifi with nexus using the native gingerbread wifi hotspot... but I would prefer the adhoc system with wireless tether app , so that I'm able to authorize the device that can connect to the network ... otherwise with the hotspot any device in the neighbors could connect to my network...

any suggestions?

thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] ylixir:
Did you try not doing either? Out of the "box" CM7 has been connecting to my phone via the wireless tether ad-hoc connection for quite a while now.

I know someone said it was disabled a while back, but I don't think that lasted very long, because I've never noticed it not working for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I was able to connect with my Incredible, it took a few tries but it worked..
[Nook Color Android Development] furius:
I tried all the combinations ... with both wpa_supplicant files (the original one and the adhocfix version) the only way is using the gingerbread hotshot on nexus one... not able to use wireless tether apk...

as alternative, is there some app to use with hotspot and control the authorization on devices connection?
[Nook Color Android Development] parrothd:
wifitether, and usb tether, use them all the time...
[Nook Color Android Development] sinanju:
You could try bluetooth. I published an app to make the connection easy
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I just downloaded to my incredible, copied to my computer then copied it to my nook SDCARD

installed it and it seems to work just fine.

I found it in /data/app

com.google.android.apps.docs-1.apk

if it loads to /system/app on your phone the file name will likely be:

docs-1.apk
[Nook Color Android Development] britoso:
Heres what I found coming from froyo back to cm7

1)Video playback

For xvid/divx - cm7 with oc feels smoother

For mkv. - cm7 loses a/v sync occasionally, froyo plays fine.

I am on 7.02 and on the 1.3GHz kernel. Used moboplayer for both tests. (Same version)

2) I haven't had the sleep-reboot yet on cm7

3) performance is noticibly better on the OC kernel.... seems to drain the battery a little faster as expected.

4) no wifi issues at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] danootz:
I've been having all sorts of issues with CM7 these past two days.

I had stock 1.2 on my Nook Color.

Created a bootable CWR Sd Card. Dropped Nightly #40, Google Apps, Dalingrin OC Kernel on it.

Booted in, noticed wifi connection connect/disconnect loop at home on my encrypted network. I took it to work on an open wifi network and it was fine.

Got home and the wifi issues persisted.

I updated to Nightly #55 and noticed the CM7 logo doesn't show on boot, screen stays dark and I have to just walk away and then come back and hope when I hit the power button that the homescreen is there, which it usually is. There were also no live wallpapers. I tried flashing google apps again and nothing.

I just did a full wipe of /system /data /cache and flashed CM 7.0 encore (not even 7.02) and same thing, No CM logo, but when I hit the power button after a couple minutes I was at the homescreen. Live wallpapers are back, but now its sluggish, compared to the nightlies. which i understand.

What's going on with CM7? The EVO roms and now the Nook Color roms are getting all funky. I appreciate all they do, but maybe production on new nightlies need to be paused until the bugs in the past several nightlies/stable releases are figured out.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
If you did a full wipe, and are still having issues, the problem is not CM7. Software does not have a memory, and can't decide to just stop working on you. CM7 (and 7.0.2) don't have a problem loading the boot animation, and certainly are not sluggish. I would advise at looking for other causes of the problems...
[Nook Color Android Development] Dhyneland:
Does anyone know of a way in LauncherPro to lock in landscape only mode? I know this is an option with ADW.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
settings/preferences/behavioral settings

then in cm7 you can try to lock it, but I forget how I did it, just hunt around. It might be in the power widget settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] Dhyneland:
hrm, I tried unchecking the Enable Auto-Rotate from the behavior settings page. But that just seems to lock it into Portrait. Also have tried that in conjunction with the Rotation power control widget and still locked in portrait. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Ophbalance:
It sounds like your boot partition got corrupted. I had that happen to me once, and I had to visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699 and reflash the boot partition before I could get rolling again. It's listed in one of the links on the first post.
[Nook Color Android Development] danootz:
Thanks. Yeah, I ended up flashing and restoring to stock 1.0.1 BN software and then flashed CM 7.0 Stable. And it was all fine again.

Sticking with 7.0 until the kinks are worked out with the latest releases.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
What kinks?

___________________

[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
There aren't any kinks. You had somehow corrupted your boot partition. CM7 doesn't touch /boot, so you are pointing your finger away from the problem, not at it.
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
you can't lock landscape mode at this time.

check out the tablet tweaks thread as mad murdock is looking into adding this feature.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
2.6.32 kernel for CM7 is mostly complete.

+ Sleep fixed

+ Able to build a new wifi module finally. *Should* fix wifi issues.

- Hardware overlay does not work

- No bluetooth yet. We are trying a completely different method to init and communicate with bluetooth. This will take a little time.

No hardware overlay causes higher resolution videos to be a little choppy. I am going to continue to work on this tomorrow and hopefully have something to post.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Awesome. I'd be more than happy to test anything u come up with.
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:

[Nook Color Android Development] GrillMouster:
Can anyone else play the "Large" MP4 files from Revision3? The files are 30fps, 640x360, which on paper should play fine. They play fine on my original Droid and Droid X. I tried the most recent episodes of Film State and Scam School on my Nook Color, and they can't be hardware decoded (running CM7 7.02 and Dalingrin's 4/24 OC kernel). The NC will play them in software decode mode in VitalPlayer Neon, although I get audio sync issues and the NC gets hot quickly (Interactive governor and 300/1300). Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
We need some build help again. No builds in the last 5 days, I am suffering from withdraw!

I saw in the commits that there is a fix that will allow us to get the new Google docs from the market.

[Nook Color Android Development] jbwalters:

[Nook Color Android Development] keyodi:
Dal,

I noticed that in the latest CM7 build they will be changing the /system to ext2.(http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,4853)

Will this cause issues when applying your OC kernel, since the updater-script has the /system as ext3?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Not what it does (unless I'm way off).

Makes it so you can backup/restore ext2 partitions (eclair/froyo?)
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Download Google Docs to your phone and copy over to the Nook

[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
What's the best way to get ready for the next kernel if on test kernel and using kernel manager lite?

Do I restore stock kernel in the app or still flash PM 6.2?
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
The test build is posted in the developers thread. It is a complete build so it can be flash over any kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] keyodi:
I just flashed my nook with the latest CM7 source code I compiled. I was unable to boot once I flashed OC 4/18C or 4/24, but 4/4 worked. I think this is because 4/18 and 4/24 needed the sgx in order to run, which is not the case with 4/4. Once I changed the updater-script to mount("ext2", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system"); and reflashed, I was able to boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I just installed the 7.10 beta and it does not make Google Docs show up in the market, so you will have to sideload it for now.

(Unless there is some new "camera permission" setting to do, which I do not know about.)

Otherwise, everything is working nicely, including a quick test of Shakira in Youtube (but she always looks good).
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
Using 7.1 here and no problem getting google docs from market
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Its working for me. You should probably clear your Market cache and clear data for google framework services.
[Nook Color Android Development] chadamir:
Where is the 7.1 beta? I don't see it anywhere.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Odd.. I can't figure out why apps will not run, move to, or install to sd on 7.1.0. When I go back to 7.0.2 all works fine.

On the upside wifi is solid with AES off. AES broke wifi still in 7.1.0 "very early" test version with my router which is problematic. Logcat is posted in dev thread.

Having fun testing, just can't nail down this SD card app issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
I would like to know too. Need my fix today.

CM7 7.0.2 STABLE issue

I followed the procedure to install on SD and it worked well, but I have a couple of apps that seem to be missing after installing g-apps. I do not have the YouTube app or Google maps. I looked in market but could not find them there either. I could install other apps fine..

I see no maps.apk file in the zip or in the apps folder..

Does anyone know how I can get thosr apps running?:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
Yes, I've had it all day long. thats why the install took so long.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
Sleep working for anyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Try posting in the thread with the procedure to install on SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
It may not be sleeping but at least I can power it off and charge it now. previously, it will turn on when charging. With a defective charger sometimes it took me hours to fully charge.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
If you read the NOOKcolor official manual, it is designed to power on when you start charging (if it is off).

Favorite CM7 update from the log:

cm: Bump to 7.0.2 because we are stupid. (android_vendor_cyanogen)

LOL, it's funny because they're so smart.
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Noob question: Does this mean using the OC kernels on top of the new builds would break the ROM and possibly become unbootable?

[Edit]: Ah, nevermind, I'm reading the developer's thread now. Doh, too confusing to have two separate threads haha. Sometimes only one or the other has important info.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigdude-bn:
Posted app question as suggested, but I have another odd issue. My GPS location seems to be wrong. On the stock 1.1 ROM the GPS worked. It was not the most accurate GPS, but it was close.

Since Google maps was not available I loaded MapQuest and another GPS application. Both applications seem to think I'm in China...

I am in Chile and I tried it outdoors and got the same results.

Is there a way to get GPS to work properly on the NookColor under CM7 ??

Are there any low level tests for the drivers?

PS - the GPS is enabled in settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
Are you connected to a bluetooth GPS or something comparable? If not, the Nook does not have a GPS receiver and triangulates your position based on WIFI...
[Nook Color Android Development] moonpie28:
? Nook does not have GPS.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Yes, the NC does not have GPS.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigdude-bn:
Wow.. sorry for the stupid question then.. I also thought it had a GPS sensor in it.

With no sensor and using triangulation via wireless that explains the imprecision I saw in the US.

Is that also why I don`t see Google maps in the market?
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Hmmm I'm in the u.s. and I show gmaps in the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] bekyndnunwind:
Google maps shows up fine for me in the US, and using wifi it can find my location just fine with 50 meter accuracy.

When I'm traveling I use an app called Bluetooth GPS on my droid, and then run an app called GPS Receiver on my NC, I am able to turn GPS on in the settings on my Nook and the droid sends GPS data to it (through bluetooth). It will find me within 5 meters of where I am.
[Nook Color Android Development] Zorkman:
use "market enabler" and fake T-Mobile
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
Or just use an external BT gps receiver for the best GPS signal.

Again U will need the Bluetooth GPS app.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
TetherGPS is another way to share the GPS in one Android device with another one, with the data being passed over WiFi instead of Bluetooth.

Nightly 59 (and other nightlies) Size Difference vs Stable 7.0.2

I cant but help notice the size difference between "cm_encore_full-59.zip" nightly 88.81 meg and "update-cm-7.0.2-encore-signed.zip" 92.76mb. The last time I downloaded the Nightly (#55) I was missing animated wallpaper functionality and possibly other functions. When I installed the latest stable (7.0.2) I regained the animated wallpaper functionality and who knows what else. Does anyone know why there is such a large size discrepancy? Does the latest release have animated wallpapers? It's not a deal-breaker but would be nice to know and also to know what else is missing. And yes I do know about and have been monitoring the change log.

Thank you.

Jon
[Nook Color Android Development] variable47:
FYI, latest overclocked kernel (4/24) doesn't boot with nightly #59, so I reverted to 7.0.2.
[Nook Color Android Development] boxcar8028:
yeah, live wallpaper is missing in Nightly 59, had to put them back in myself. so far, so good.
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
I just flashed #59 and the only kennel it will boot is the stock one. no 1.1 or 1.3 for me. I think it is time to restore my backup. :mad:

Running 7.0.2 stable with 4/24A OC @ 1300, I get at LEAST a 2300 score, have gotten just over 2600 on occasion. Just saying
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
You guys have to install the nightly, let it fully boot, then install the kernel through ROM manager.
[Nook Color Android Development] miniaturepeddler:
Yep, the initial boot was slow for the nightly. I then installed the 4/24 OC, and it took the same time to boot.

Once booted, the system runs fine (just fine I tell you :)

Seriously though, the new nightly seems to work fine with my overclock.

I'm going to wander over to the C7 forum and see what this nightly update actually added.

from cyanogen twitter

people might be interested in seeing how much nook colors are running CM7:

(if not ==> don't click :))
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
Where is this stat pulled from? is this how many people downloaded the installer? ive downloaded pretty much every build so do i count 50 times? Or is this just concurrent installs?

pretty wild that theres 6000 users running it on the nook, if thats accurate.
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
I'm pretty sure it comes from the CM stats. so it's the number of people running CM7.
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
From my understanding it is the # of users that have CM7 installed and oped into allowing CM Stats to collect the information.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
So the number could be higher, depending on how many turn off CM stats...
[Nook Color Android Development] boxcar8028:
