[Nook Color Android Development] :
Slightly off topic but I've been playing around with several launchers...namely Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher EX.

I've noticed that the app drawer is really smooth when scrolling between pages when running either of those two launchers. But when I go back to the stock ADW Launcher the scrolling between pages is noticeably laggy in comparison. General UI navigation is normally relatively snappy outside of the app drawer. I'm currently on N87 running 925Mhz. Running OC Kernel helps a little bit but its still not as smooth as when running the non-stock launchers.

Any settings I might be missing or is this simply a known CM7 encore performance issue?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
+1

Martian, any chance you could drop your private build somewhere on the net for us to play with until the official CM7 buildbot goes back online? The wait is killing me! lol...
[Nook Color Android Development] butler360:
I think that's just the issues with ADW Launcher. EX was a rewrite and improved performance, while Launcher Pro was always faster. I assume they include ADW because it's open source, free, and still better than the stock Android launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Hope this isn't against the rules, not that I think it is.

Just built this nightly around 1:30ish AM Central time. Built up too "Fix 6 extentedcommands declaration warnings (android_bootable_recovery)"

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore

This link will be removed when an actual "newer" nightly gets built and pushed to servers. Till then, enjoy.

Edit: Newest nightly (91) is out, thus no need for my build anymore. Link removed.
[Nook Color Android Development] clamder:
funny, looks like the buildbot just started again.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
SOMEONE had to build it manually for that to happen, you know that Murphy guy ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] luciferii:
thank you.. its workin great
[Nook Color Android Development] TDO:
Seems the builds have stopped bevor reaching encore (the last build).

So thanks to Nburnes for sharing your build.
[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
Thanks!

Did a "recovery install/update" of this and the latest Dahlingrin's O/C kernel for my SD install.

All is working superbly! (Netflix included)

How different/better can the "official" nightly be?:)
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
You're a good man, thank you! :) now its time to test the PBD fix...
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
Thank you!!!! My flashing finger was starting to get cold. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
I've got it working on SD. I accidentally started with the V1.2 image and it just hung up on Loading. Switched to V1.3 image and it unzipped and is working fine with the 5/23 OC at 1200. Nice to see the green Cyanogen rather than Loading now.

I didn't have the PBD or SOD before, so hopefully I don't see it now...

Thanks again!
[Nook Color Android Development] bradputt:
thanks, downloading now.
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Finally :)

Status bar brightness control is a nice new feature. Too bad it behaves so jerky on my device. Guess it won't replace RecentPlus anytime soon :)
[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
Same here...didn't experience either before and hope the streak will continue. (knock on wood):p

Kudos to Nburnes for putting my update fever at bay (for a couple more days at least):eek:
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Thanks for the update, Nburnes. I just got it up and running, but now I'm having some odd battery behavior. I'll wait until I get the green cable/wipe batt. stats until I get bummed, but we'll see how it goes!
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
I'm still getting PBD and wifi issues with the build Nburnes posted. :(

Going to charge back to 100%, wipe batt stats, recalibrate, and test again...
[Nook Color Android Development] martian21:
Sorry guys, I literally walked out the door for the weekend as soon as I dumped the new build on my SD card. Unfortunately the only copy I have is my tweaked version (custom IMEI, build.prop, unused apps removed). Looks like Nburns stepped up - thanks! If the build bot hasn't regained consciousness by the time I get back to my build PC I'll try to thrown a new build out there.

It looks as if nightly 91(?) is up now. Heads-up!
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
91 is already out there.

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
N91 downloaded and flashed... battery stats, cache, and dalvik wiped... Dal's OC is NOT installed... recharging to 100% as we speak, then recalibration and testing to begin immediately. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] miniaturepeddler:
Updated to 91 and dal's oc. I am most pleased with things so far:

The following is about 87;

Battery life. I put it to sleep and wake it hours later and I still have battery life. In fact for the past week I have actually left the nookcolor unplugged overnight and the next morning I still had most of the charge (less than 1% loss).

The following is about 91:

Apps: netflix, youtube, tv.Com, zombies/plants all working well

Wifi; WEP working well on all my routers (wish spa did also)

2850 on my baseline, so very snappy

So very much a keeper

Thankyou developers
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
With all due respect, 91 has been out for a few hours, so none of the above is a report about 91 (and so its not really helpful other than that I'm sure the devs appreciate knowing that people are happy with their work.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
n91 is updating the battery stats! I fully charged after installing the latest nightly and it stuck at 98 even though the cable was green.

Rebooting will update the data that is recorded by the daemon script fix they did.

Rebooted and it shows 100%. I'm playing a movie to drain some battery to see how she does.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
No deep sleep with n91

Full wipe...

Beware of cwm 3.2.0.0 does not format data and will not restore

Don't upgrade to cwm 3.2.0.0 till it's fixed
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
with 91 i charged to 100, battery looks good in first 4 hours of playing.. but i noticed one thing, the widgets on the screen (All of them) don't function at all. Even the battery widget is reporting 49% (whihc was before i loaded 91).

Is this known, didnt do anything different to install.. Came from 87.

---- new --

Now I rebooted and getting problem loading widget icons where they used to be, WEIRD.. Then rebooted again, because it doesnt make sense, the icons are back, but now working, hmm.. So i tried to add a new widget, added CNN top stories, just getting a black window where the widget, ok, now i tried to load Engadget widget (same type i figure), but this works... Anyone else having weird things like this or just me?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I deep sleep fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Sleeps great for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
My Widgets, wifi, and deep sleep are each working fine in n91... so far. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] camalus:
Deep sleep good here... never had the battery issue with any rom .. so far so good.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Deleted post. I'm an idiot.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Pretty sure it's just locked out in the build.prop file or one of those files...

Alternatively, just burn an older version to an SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Wait, so what's wrong with CWM 3.2.0.0? I upgraded before I flashed 91 and everything seems fine to me. I also performed a back-up without any problems. Is this something I need to be worried about here?
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
Having deep sleep issues with N91. Running OC kernel and used CPU Spy to confirm.

Not sure if this matters, but I've read from one instance that installing the Tegra2 game "Samurai II" stopped deep sleep on another person's nook. Will uninstall it when I get a chance just to see...

Edit: Forgot to mention that I even loaded HC Hybrid RC1 from SD for 15-20mins.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
What I found was, after flashing n91 without issue I was seeing no deep sleep, last time this happened, I formatted system, data and cache then restored that corrected the issue, this time formatting data failed and could not get 3.2.0.0 to restore.

I used my boot 3.0.0.6 sdcard did the formats and restored fine.

I sent an email to CWM and have not heard back. And still am not getting deep sleep.

Edit:

Just updated to N93 no OC Kernel this time, let's see what happens

CWM still not safe for data format, beware.
[Nook Color Android Development] TainT:
Per the CWM Thread....

3.2.0.0 - Support for newer nooks with the 5G /data parition! Removed /boot from the format menu. Also the new .32 kernel is included which fixes the freezing after formatting /data!

*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*

Those of you with newer nooks that are having issues formatting /data. Don't worry there should be an update soon to address that.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Left a message there as well, this upgrade will cause issues for people that have the older nook (it's crazy to say older when they are not a year old)....

I just downgraded to 3.0.2.8 so I can actually format data and restore...
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
For the record, I too downgraded to 3.0.2.8 after upgrading. Will re-upgrade once there is a fix. I've never had a single issue with 3.0.2.8.
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Well, I took your advice about downgrading and now it won't stop looping the green Cyanogen logo. Any advice here? This sucks.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Reload n93, and you should be fine

EDIT:

You are correct,,,Once I rebooted I got the Boot Loop, This SUX Is there an alternate recovery for Nook, CWM is too problematic...

I'll post in a bit if I can find a cure, it may be to use a bootable SDcard and restore

1. Boot to your Bootable CWM3.0.0.6 SDCard, if you don't have 1 search the forums on how to build

2. Once the SDCARD boots

3. Insert you SDCARD that has you Nandroid backups

4. Select Restore

5. Select Advanced

6. Choose boot

7. Select an older Boot backup to restore

Once complete

reboot the nook (long Power button hold)

It will then reboot to Recovery

Select reboot

Your system should come up

Once back up upgrade CWM to the latest then reapply n93

Hope this issue with CWM is fixed or there is an alternate Recovery soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Thanks, buddy. I was just about to post roughly the same procedure for you as well!
[Nook Color Android Development] martian21:
I am on n91 and have Chainfire3D installed with Samurai 2 and my Nook goes into deep sleep just fine. Unplugged, went on a two mile hike. Back at the lodge, still 100 percent battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] tomic22:
I was running on Phiremod 6.2 when i decided to have a peek at what nightly 93 could bring me. So what i did after making backups was: i followed this perfect guide made by eyeballer and did the following :

Downloaded Nightly 93 + GAPPS + Dal's 5/23 OC kernel.

Rebooted into recovery CWM 3.2.0.8

- made backups - ;)

Installed 1. Nightly 93, 2. GAPPS

Formatted: Data & Cache and Dalvik cache.

Rebooted (nice green CM7 Logo btw)

Signed into market

Downloaded and installed CPUSpy

'OC'd' it to 925mhz.

Pressed the power button on the nook and waited FOREVER (3mins) ... ;)

When i opened CpuSpy i saw the following

ZZZZzzzzzZZZzzzZZZZzz........

Hope anyone on Phiremod 6.2 will benefit from this and enjoying Deep Sleep!

Also installed the OC kernel afterwards and typed this post and... no deep sleep anymore.

I'm really curious if other people following the guide above gets deep sleep to woirk without installings dal's OC kernel from 5/23.

Edit: ow geez; after rebooting in cwm and clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache it seems to deep sleep... (also i had no SOD's of PBD's as of yet)

Edit2: Hmm....... spoke to soon as i experienced my first SOD. .. Sucks.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Did the same thing. Here is the quick fix. Burn a recovery sd card image from here... http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/ Download the cwm zip from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27515414/RecoveryFix_3.0.2.8.zip copy it onto the recovery sd card u just made. put the card in your nc and it will boot into recovery. Flash the zip that you copied onto the card and boom! you have cwm 3.0.2.8 back on your emmc. This will install the 1.1 uboot, so you can either flash your custom uboot or reflash your rom to get cyanogen's stock uboot back.
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
+1 that! I'm trying to fix the CWM boot loop problem too. I have never had a good experience with CW recovery, first on G1 and now Nook Color. Arrggghhhh!
[Nook Color Android Development] jdellingson7:
This is what i did too, works great. Hopefully fix will come soon

here is a link for recovery fixes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958748
[Nook Color Android Development] mkm1126:
I'm not sure if this means anything to anyone or just confuses the issue, but thought I'd share in case it's helpful somehow.

I upgraded to N91 (CM Stock Kernel and Boot). When I have my WiFi set to turn off when the screen goes off I get SOD (have to hold power for 8 seconds, then press power again to boot) everytime. As soon as I change my WiFi setting back to "Always On", this problem disappears. In my case, SOD (not even sure if that's really what it is) can be linked directly to this setting. That's my experience anyway . . . now I'm hoping someone that knows a lot more than I admittedly do can maybe do something with this information!

Issues or no Issues, this has been a fun process to watch unfold. I'm jazzed by the troubleshooting and analysis I see going on here. Great work everyone!!
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
So after making the mistake of letting Rom Manager download and try to update to CM7-93 I went into an endless bootloop... Had to wipe anything and everything and install it several times by hand before it would reload.

Finally got it back up and running and no surprise, Deep sleep is working now. However, I don't know how long it will last and what will eventually kill it.

That said, I'm also still having trouble with battery... Last night before deep sleep was reactivated I was at around 40% and using the Nook charger set, I left it on overnight to charge... It got to 92% by this morning (9hrs later), I used it for 5mins in the throne room and it dropped down to 86%...

Just noticed that the Amazon.com app is no longer visible in the market. Not sure when (which release) it went missing again.
[Nook Color Android Development] psychoace:
A long time ago
[Nook Color Android Development] jdellingson7:
Just a quick question after installing nightly 93 and the 5/23 oc kernel i began to get screen freezes. It this considered the SOD i keep hearing about? i tried kernel even at 800 mhz and still got freeze up.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
You goto Amazon and register for the app, they send you an email with a link.
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
wiping cache usually fixes this for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
That's the Amazon Appstore. I'm referring to the Amazon.com Mobile app. It's in the regular market, but not available on the NC. It has come and gone before during the NC CM7 development cycle.
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
Deep sleep is gone. Not sure what triggered it, tried getting rid of Chainfire 3d and the tegra games, but nothing seemed to bring it back. I do suspect it has something to do with one of these apps, as I didn't have any problems with deep sleep until after I installed C3d and rebooted.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I am suspecting the OC kernel, loaded n93 and had deep sleep all day decided to load the OC kernel and no more deep sleep.

I have cleared cache and dalvik, still no deep sleep
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
Could very well be it, but I will mention that I had the OC kernel fresh installed with 93, and initially had deep sleep until I rebooted.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I have had the same experience, before n93 ran great deep sleep no SOD, no PBD. With n93 and OC no deep sleep..

with the new CWM I cannot do what I did previously to get deep sleep, which is format System, Data and Cache then restore...

Maybe they will get CWM fixed soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] camalus:
I'm using oc on 93.. deep sleep works fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
How's CWR 3.2.0.1 holding up for everyone? Solid for me so far. Deep sleep is great, everything is speedy and such, etc. Great work, devs!

[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
So far so good I was able to format /data, /system and /cache and do a restore...
[Nook Color Android Development] openallnight:
Hi

I haven't done this for a while so please excuse if redundant question. I have an older nightly build with .29 Kernel. Is upgrading as straightforward as clearing cache, system and data, applying the new zip (with latest CWR) and rebooting?

On a related note, is restoring a backup (from older Kernel) similar? Asking because i am reading that there are updates to boot partition. If you can point me to thread that has these instructions that would be great too.

thanks!

Have you guys tried the new Firefox Beta on your NC?

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&feature=search_result

I am normally a huge fan of the stock browser (I prefer webkit, and I have been generally impressed with it), but holy crap, it is fast

for example, go to www.drudgereport.com on FF and double tap on a column, so that it resizes your text. then go do that in stock. Huge difference. This is why I gave it a new shot:

Video Playback

Has anyone else tried to play an .avi on cm7? I am using Rockplayer and the voice and video is off nook color. It works fine on my incredible. Do you think the nook is just not powerful enough handle it? I am using the stock kernal if I overclocked to 1.1 would that help?

Thanks for help.

there is also dolphin mini 2.0 which is a bit lighter and snappier

can people start looking back to a page or two in the thread? Please? The transition from MDPI to HDPI is the culprit. you can fix it by changing density in build.prop

I have been using synker as a work around for the auto sync issue. its in the market
[Nook Color Android Development] openallnight:
Synker did not help :(. I was able to get gmail sync to work just by toggling the synch checkboxes in account settings. I am not able to get my exchange synch working. Even manual sync does not retrieve the mail. Not sure what the issue is.

Edit:got this working by deleting exchange account and manually adding from default Email client. there was an activate option that is never shown when you add account through settings. Up and running now! cool.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
You don't need to wipe data - it is generally unneeded, and of course, forces you to reinstall all your stuff.
[Nook Color Android Development] openallnight:

[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I'm on 91 with OC and it worked fine for me. I discharged to 50%, charged, and now it's not sleeping. I rebooted and it still won't sleep. I just cleared cache/davlik and maybe that will help, but others have reported it did not.

Next I'm going to shutdown (not reboot) and see what happens.

Sucks because I just got CM7 running on my Motorola Cliq and it's KICKASS! :)

Just upgraded to 94 and it kicks ass.. havent been able to test sleep yet though but no other problems so far. Devs. you rock!
[Nook Color Android Development] Matchay:
Hi, just a thought: perhaps it has to do with "batterystats.bin" file? Deleting the file was a solution for my "booting loop" issue, maybe it has also to do with deep sleep?

In settings/applications/market try clearing data and cache. If that does not work reflash Gapps.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
Actually, when going from .29 to .32 builds, it's generally a good idea to wipe data as well. Then, using TiBu, restore Apps only, not apps+data.

Doing anything less -may- result in odd behavior with random apps and processes...
