[Nook Color Android Development] I Am Marino:
Is it a good idea to stick with 7.0.3 or am I missing anything drastic?

I can live with the 1% a hour battery drain for now, anything else? Speaker buzz, etc?

and sorry if I missed it, I'm clarifying, I don't need to update to the B&N 1.2 software manually, I could just flash a nightly and it's all fine?
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
n83 Netflix has a slight stutter, same with angry birds and any vids I play. everything besides that is working excellent. Anyone else experiencing that with n83???

anyone know why chipmunk high/speed started on new kernel vs 7.0.2?

I used SPH-P100/samsung in my build prop on 7.0.2 I had the best Netflix experience with initial buffering with that.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
For non-chipmunk voices you need to use HTC/Vision with the. 32 kernels.

Getting the same thing. But Deep Sleep is working. Guess I need wifi more, so will restore my backup
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
I should have made my posts bit more clear. I,m aware of the fix and it works fine. I'm just curious as to why.

I know some app purchasing is based off of model/manufacturer so I was hoping to stay with what I had started with instead of swapping build.prop files.
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
Anyone else have thoughts/suggestions for the wi-fi problems? Will a complete wipe/factory reset and clean install make a difference?
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Now that I have been using B83 awhile, my wifi doesn't go on and off but if

I put it in standby, the wifi is often off when I turn it on again. I have to manually turn it on.

But in normal use the wifi stays on. Weird.

Need Absolute Clarification

I am not going to lie. Lately, I am a little overwhelmed with the Nook Color Development scene.

I have not tried dalingran's OC kernel for some time in fear I might "brick" my Nook, though I know that is nearly impossible.

My goal is to be on the latest and greatest, but I want to be absolutely sure I have the steps down before I try it.

Here is what I have installed.

U-Boot- 1.1 (Touch the Future of Reading)

ROM- CM7 nightly build 84

Kernel- no custom kernel

Not that it should matter, but I do flash keysmod after flashing my nightly as I use recentplus.

I promise I read the User, DEV, and OC threads daily, but I am really confused as to what I would need to be on to be on the latest. I believe I understand correctly by saying I could theoretically load up the latest OC kernel (0523) with the latest nightly, while remaining on uboot 1.1, but I am not 100% sure.

Could someone help me understand and provide the clarity I require?
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
Thanks, but even if that worked for me, I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice my wireless network's security for the Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
I honestly don't understand all the recent wifi issue reports.

With stable (through 7.0.3), I had nothing but trouble with wifi, of exactly the nature people describe - disconnects after 2 minutes while apparently still connected, problems reconnecting after wake-ups and reboots, the whole works. Since beta 3.1 (i.e. anything involving the .32 kernel), it's been 100% smooth sailing.

Routers are using WPA2-AES with wireless-N and wireless-G via Tomato firmware, and I additionally have WPA-AES in the office over G, again with no issues. Ditto with unencrypted G at two different Starbucks. I don't think I can make wifi fail if I tried!

[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:
Using Nightly #84 I get the wifi drops. Normally using WPA2-AES, but have tried WPA, WEP and No Security, all give the wifi drop about every minute or so.

Also I have a mytouch 4g and reading the threads over there, people are having the same problems with wifi dropping. I have not updated my phone in a while as it has been real stable
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
I have tried to find the rhyme or reason for why wifi is off after the unit is off for a period of time and I can't find anything I can repeat.

I plugged it in last night and let it charge over night, hit the button and wifi was on and available. But when I unplugged it, turned it off and let it sit for an hour, on power up the wifi was off. But other times wifi might still be on.

However, many times if the wifi is off when I turn it on and I wait for 10-20 seconds, it will come on by itself. Other times it won't.

Weird for sure. I watch the change log and I suspect other changes are happening that aren't being logged. Some of the changes are not even Encore related but it will act differently than a previous build.

Not a complaint, only an observation. Each build seems to be converging on a fully functional OS with an occasional glitch. If I look back to the 60's builds, the 80's are far better.

I am about to try B85. We will see.
[Nook Color Android Development] Izord:

Hi guys!

I received today my second new NC.

Which is the best combination to run CM.

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
FYI - my wifi problems were due to the Belkin Router I was using. I had bought it last week at Walmart to use at the resort where I was staying on vacation. It was set up identically to my D-Link DIR655 at home. However, now that I'm home the wifi is rock solid with no connect/disconnect loops.
[Nook Color Android Development] derekr:
@boxcar8028- what do YOU mean by SOD? It seems to mean different things to different people, and has lost its original meaning.

[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
Anyone getting issues charging? I just flashed Nightly 7. Didn't check what my battery status was on Nightly 5 before reflashing, so I can't compare the two. Regardless, I've left it plugged in using the out-of-the-box nook recharger for about an hour and it hasn't ticked up even 1 percent over the 35% it is reporting.

As for the blue line through stuff, one thing you can do to (sort of) work around that if it really bothers you is you can open your app drawer > Theme Chooser > Pick Cyanobread (I think that's what it is called) theme. In that theme everything is that light shade of cyan/blue, so the blue line just blends in and disappears.

Kludgey but it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
Yes, I have issues as well, but not many others appear to have issues, or don't report any.

Try wiping battery stats in recovery. Give it some time to settle. I have noticed this flashing cm7 on our cdma heros.

How did you install the emmc version of 3.0.0.6? You got a link you can provide?

[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
There is a flashable zip. The link is either in this thread or the dev thread. The cwr sd card you made just put the zip file on it boot into recovery and install it like you would a rom or a kernel.

Nightly #7 Spare Parts & Compatibility Mode

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but some apps don't show in fullscreen on Nightly #7. The only one I have found so far is the "Photobucket" app. Toggling from Spare Parts and rebooting doesn't seem to resolve the issue either. Anyone have a work around for this issue?

Otherwise, Nightly #7 is awesome. Great job devs and thank you!

Pandora

I've searched 'Pandora' on this thread and didn't see this question asked. Forgive me if it has been or if it's stupid. Has anyone ripped the Pandora .apk from a stock NC ROM and tried running it in CM7? Are there any known fixes or reason why the market version works for some and not for others?
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
Same for google reader when you enter into an article. Caused by the mdpi -> hdpi transition in #7, I suppose. We'll have to wait till they find the cause of the slowdows caused by the mdpi setting.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
I tested the stock NC Pandora APK on my phone running CM7 and it worked fine, except for the track controls being off the screen because the stock version seems to be hard coded for the NC's higher resolution display. I expect that it would work perfectly on a CM7 NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] rickpref:
Just flashed the emmc 3.0.0.6 but when I am back to CM7 and try to reboot into recovery it just restarts CM7.

[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:

Whoops.. posted to wrong forum... should been (and will be) in developers...
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
So, I did a full wipe of my NC and installed nightly 85 plus the new OC kernel just to make sure I had a better start with the new, clean u-boot. Everything seems to be running just fine, though maybe a bit more sluggish. It may be my imagination. Anyone else?

In any event, the battery was able to go down past 15% earlier today without an issue. I've charged it back up to 100%, but it seems like the calibration is still a bit off since it'll show the charger as green at 99%. Is there any reliable way to calibrate the battery?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Hey fattire, look forward to flashing the new uboot. Question: Why is there a need for breathing room, and what will work better by allowing said room? Is this a hint at a battery calibration fix? Flashing to stock 1.2 now has be shutting down at 3%, but damn it if I don't want it to shutdown until the battery is dead and it says "shutting down".

Perhaps a changelog for it? I saw the one you posted a while back, but I'm sure things have changed since then...

Cool beans.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
So u-boot, which loads after mlo, is responsible for determining which kernel to load, initializing some stuff, and then loading/running the kernel and sending it certain parameters/instructions called "kernel arguments" (often shortened to "args")... See my wonderful illustration of the process here.

Among these instructions are where the kernel should load into memory and then where the ramdisk file (which contains a couple of read-only files like init.encore.rc that the kernel runs to more fully boot) should load. So u-boot says basically "the kernel goes here, and then later in memory the ramdisk goes here." So there's a space for the kernel and one for the ramdisk in memory, as determined by u-boot.

So what dalingrin did to u-boot was basically make that space a little bit bigger for the kernel by moving the ramdisk a little further along. Because the kernel is starting to get a little bit bigger than stock was, what with all the goodies and support for features being added. He did this by changing the memory address where the ramdisk loads by a smidge. If you're curious what that looks like, you can see the commit here. (Note that the address is expressed as a hexadecimal number.)

My follow-up commit was to have the "Alternative" boot args do the same thing.

That's what was meant by "breathing room".
[Nook Color Android Development] miniaturepeddler:
I also did a update to the new nightly 85, but without the OC.

I agree that things are/were major sluggish. But the wifi seemed to be solid.

I was having a little problem getting my netflix working again, but I had errands, so put things off for later.

An hour and a half later, after letting the nook go into sleep mode, and waking it back up, it was even more sluggish, and the wifi now is kicking on and off, failing to hold signal and connection. <le sigh>

Also I could not get netflix to start a movie.

So to regain functionality I'm back to my nightly 78, guess, I will wait a little longer. :<
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Nightly 84, Dal's OC kernel at 800mhz, u-boot.bin with the 'menu' fattire has just posted tonight.. Netflix works great. Installed from market, changed the two lines in the build.prop to the "Vision" ones.

And I shouldn't say this, but I've had zero problems with wifi... I was the one having lots of trouble with wifi in the past too..
[Nook Color Android Development] JeremyNT:
I have both devices and the behavior is a bit different. The nook seems to flake out periodically, but it always seems to reconnect quickly. The mt4g on the other hand stays connected longer, but sometimes dies completely and fails to reconnect at all.

I don't know whether these issues are related in any way. Fwiw, the most recent nightly with the most recent oc kernel seems to have greatly improved the nook's wifi stability for me. Still getting random freezes and sods though :(
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
Not sure where I posted what earlier today, but my wifi problems turned out to be the cheap Belkin router I had purchased while I was on vacation for use at the resort. When I got home and turned my Nook on, the wifi worked perfectly. I still decided to do a complete reinstall starting with the BN 1.2 update, now on Nightly 85 with Dal's 0523 OC, Netflix runs great.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
After doing a full wipe and factory 1.2 restore, I'm now running...

--n85 on emmc

--Dal's 5/23 OC set to 300/1200 Conservative

--fattire's uboot w/menu ("fattires 1.2 untimely menu-uboot.bin 05232011A.zip" )

--IMEI modded framework for n85

...and this is by far the fastest and most stable combo I've ever run! :)

The only thing left to test is battery drain past 15% and battery auto-shutdown.

/fingers crossed

Running Nightly 85, the newest OC kernal 5/23 1.2ghz and dual-boot (but cant remember what u-boot) and its slick. I benched 2303 on my first bench on 1.2ghz performance.
[Nook Color Android Development] angomy:
Running n85 w/ 05/23/11 OC kernel @ 1200Mhz. No wifi issues or USB connectivity issues. Was having wifi issues with 82-83 but I changed some router settings (b/g WPA/WPA2 PSK TKIP instead of TKIP/AES, also changed to a less crowded channel), "forgot" the saved settings on Nook, and reconnected. No drops since then (either in performance or actual connectivity) using Market, games, etc.

I must say in n85 my wifi re-connects much more quickly (less than 2 sec vs ~5) than it did in 81-83.

Quadrant score: 2196 from an SD card install (in conservative mode) :) About ~300 better than my old Quadrant score on 7.0.2 stable OC'ed (the last time I ran it)
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Regarding connection speed, you can change the scan interval so it connects quicker. It used to me 30, now it's 15 (or it was). They keep changing it...No idea why.

For those with wifi issues, looks like the next build will fix that.
[Nook Color Android Development] sinanju:
Looking at the changelog, #86 seems like it will be a nice step forward:

- Fix audio dropouts and video stutter

- Add primary and secondary bootloaders to the update package

- Don't renew the leases if mDhcpInfo.leaseDuration is not positive

I'm very hopeful about #1 and #2 will be nice for folks waiting out the hokey-pokey others have bravely attempted recently. Perhaps, as ace mentions, #3 addresses WiFi issues folks have seen?

NO SOD

Well, I think I had figured out my SOD issues. In the past my flashing routine has been after flashing I would repair my permissions after using my nook for a while. last night after flashing cm7 n85 with dalingrin's new kernel 5/23 all was running well, vary smooth and the scrolling is amazing and no SOD. Then I repair my permissions and instantly SOD! So I re-wiped cache and re-flash n85 and kernel 5/23 and all is well again and no SOD. Nook been on all night, with wifi on and no SOD. Not sure why, but it seems to be repairing my permissions was the culprit. I hope this may help others.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Status:

-Next nightly should have improved video playback(back to the best that .29 ever had)

-Deep sleep has some intermittent issue but does sleep. I'm very tired working on the kernel issues so hopefully this is the last one for a while.

WIP:

*A real IMEI solution for apps that do not handle a null IMEI properly(HBO Go, etc)​

*Independent volume control for the speaker and headphones. Possibly other audio tweaks as well. I've already made an interface for these adjustments in the audio driver and just need to make an Android app to make it easy to adjust.​

Just another Phiremod 6.2 user that moved up to Nightly 85 + 5/23 OC Kernel + 1.2 Uboot + signed GAPPS, after wiping cache & dalvik cache, and formatting /system + /data, after re-formatting my 16 GB sdcard with the updated CWR - and all is well with the world! Phew.

Smooth install process, no problems connecting to my enterprise Wifi @ work, smooth playback of videos + youtubes, running at 300/1100 conservative. Just verifying the battery goodness now, because some have mentioned that the latest kernel + 84/85 nightlies don't play nice together.

Define what you mean CM7 on a NC 1.2 and successfully? My NC has uboot 1.2, running CM7 n85 with Dalingrins .32 OC Kernel and it runs beautifully. The odd FC, but otherwise all programs run well and it's nice and smooth. I'm running it off emmc, not sd. So not sure if I'm misunderstanding what you are saying. Naturally you will probably be only reading about folks who are having troubles, but I'm sure many are running it without any major issues.
