Of course, I am not about suggesting the formatting of /data willy-nilly, it was simply my understanding that it needed to be done when moving to the new kernel. Certainly not between nightlies or anytime a person feels like it.

I understand your frustration and your reasoning. I'm also glad you clarified your intent. Having been a senior member on at least one other forum (though not related to mobile devices) I understand where you are coming from.

I thank you again for the great work you've done and continue to do.

Edit: spelling!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I am glad all is well.. Personally, i like having water under the bridge. :)

(And yes, i have a horrible tendency to come off as i didn't intend to on forums, so i do apologize for that. Me being opinionated doesn't translate well to text. ;) Thanks for working with me.)

Not sure if its battery drain related but this link seems to explain the gc_external_alloc message http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4550757/android-logs-gc-external-alloc-gc-for-malloc.

Will CM7.1-RC1 update u-boot? I am running 7.0.3 currently and came from 1.1, did not update to 1.2 prior to flashing CM7.

Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Seseo17:
I flashed to n110 without updating u-boot or anything so I think you should be fine to flash RC1. However I'm not an expert on this so take my experience with a grain of salt.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Yes.... u-boot.bin is in the zip.

What do you guys recommended for overclocking? The built in cm7 settings or nook tweaks app?

Sent from my B&N Nook Color
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Both actually. Use tweaks to set the 5 speed steps, and use CM7 settings to set the gov, and to apply the OC settings on boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Ah yeah very good point, thanks!

[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
So if you set CM7 to 1100 and Tweaks to 1400, what is the max speed?
[Nook Color Android Development] MrPib:
Yeah, 115 and 116 each had a line earlier. One was a bump for the GSII, and the other was equally unrelated to the NC (IIRC).
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Earlier 115 and 116 said something about updating version for the purpose of a release candidate or the like but no real changes.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
1400.

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
No. If u set cm7 to 1100 your CPU will never exceed that. Tweaks simply tells cm7 what options it has to step at. The cm7 settings ultimately determine what it runs at.

I was wondering if we could include the v3.0.0.6 of ClockworkMod Recovery with the release, it's a pain to swap in my bootable SD to perform a backup then swap back to my storage SD to run.

Why isn't the included Recovery 3.0.0.6 anyway?
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Why did you double post in both the developer and the user thread?

The entire point of having two separate threads is to keep posts like yours out of the development discussion.

Things are pretty dynamic right now. I haven't discussed with the rest of the team how to handle CWM since there are two different versions for the Nook currently. I believe Koush is working on CWM for the Nook now that its gone mainline. I will probably add CWM 3.0.0.x later.

The keyboard in Landscape mode is really short, making it hard for my fingers to type anything ...

When I had the Gingerbread keyboard on auto-nootered stock B&N, the keyboard was the perfect height in Landscape. Is that controlled by a setting or something in the APK?

If you saw my question in the other thread, then you caught it during the 30 seconds it was live before I realized I posted in the wrong thread and edited it out. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the answer. I was able to boot the CWR bootable and run a full nand backup, so that at least does work for now. I just wanted to make sure I could do backups while testing out the new builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
YouTube (in a webpage) requires flash, which is working fine in CM7. I believe you misunderstood, flash works perfectly fine on a variety of websites, including webstreams other than that from youtube.

Also just figured id update in saying I've had no problems running any apps (except obviously those requiring on the correct codecs, which aren't implemented yet). This build seems very stable.
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
I notice that like the original Nook rom, there is a slight lag in the audio.

Its noticeable on games (Angry Birds is a good one to discover the lag), and video as well.

I originally thought it was just an issue with the original rom, but it is happening with this one as well, which leads me to believe it might be hardware related?

Any ideas on a way to sync the audio?

Otherwise, I have not put the Nook down...Flash is awesome...
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Good to know. It's because I was puzzled by the all mixed comments in the recent video. Now, what's the problem with YouTube, then? The same video shows that YouTube shows a clip just fine. Or is it

HD

YouTube that doesn't work without hardware acceleration yet?

Now I'm getting curious of what people see in their CM7 nightly:

1.Did the PID correction correct the Market/open more of its apps?

2.Rock Player of later versions has inbuilt codecs that can utilize hardware acceleration, can someone affirm/deny it's working on CM7?

3. Any estimate of better (or same) touch responsiveness, less lag between touch and its registering, faster, smoother scrolls, smoother animations, zooming in/out

4. Sound max levels: tiny as usual, or DSP Manager has found its way into the distro?

5. Screen touch sensitivity on edges and in corners, any improvements.

6. Any success in rooting?

TIA and especially for your videos that might answer these questions.

MARKET WORKAROUND and CONFIRMED APPS LIST

Generally i have been pulling from my Froyo titanium backup rather than trying to find stuff on market (CONFIRMED as a viable workaround for the purchasing glitch). Instructions here (I'm sure someone else figured this out already, but just in case)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11485349&postcount=50

ROM: Installed the OC1100MhZ kernel as part of the intial CWM install (i.e. CM&>gapps>OC). worked perfectly. Seems to be properly integrated with the CM7 settings, not going to fart around with setcpu at this point (if it ain't broke don't fix it)

ROM: Lockscreen is not giving me any problems at all.

APPS: I'm installing apps one by one from TB, confirming each works, and trying to break them. I will update this list as I progress

Clockr Evo - OK ($F = previously purchased on Froyo, transferred with TB)

Samba Filesharing - OK (and woot! does this make it easy to move over files from TB images on the PC!!!!)

Touchdown - OK (this is the beta that works with the nook, rather than the market version that doesn't. Also using TB to copy the settings successfully transfers all the account information... w.o.w.)

GMail - OK

Note Everything - OK

Wifi Analyzer - OK

Root explorer - OK ($F)

ezPDF - OK ($F)

dolphin HD - OK (YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!)

Android system info - OK

ES File Explorer - OK, but now can't seem to resolve SMB server names, which takes a chunk out of it's usefulness

Remote Desktop - OK

Wifi Buddy - OK

SystemPanel Lite - OK

*** and now for the bad news

Pandora - NO ;-( ... Force closes either with a TB backup or a fresh market install

*** ok back to work, more later ;-) ****
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
dolphin? Is there no stock browser in initial release? CM7Rc1 on my EVO had a nice browser
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
has anyone been able to take a screenshot?

tried every app i can find and nothing works.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
It may add some but to be able to view them all just download a free app called "Market Enabler" and set it to t-mobile

Im incredibly glad you said this as I had no idea this existed. I just tested it and it works great, I can now play mp3's and combined with TubeMate I can play youtube videos extremely smoothly. Is there any video in particular you want me to test?

EDIT Do note the sound is off by about 1/3 of a second. I am using rockplayer lite so idk if thats why

Zooming is pretty smooth they it may be more laggy, for the initial zoom (i.e. two finger pinching, but after your fingers are registered zooming in and out is smooth)

DSP manager is in the distro

I can type su in the terminal emulator and it registers me as a super user, so root/super user privileges are enabled

Yeah, I found that in another thread. Exactly that I did. I thought it wasn't even trying to boot, so I didn't think an SD card boot would work. Reflashing now.

j/k, thanks for the wrap up, its nice to see things spelled out like that sometimes. plus I think aludal simply acts as if everyone owes him something...

I appreciate the work and am currently downloading nightly number eight to give a try.

Just curious, CM7 is 2.3, CM6 is 2.2, when does progress start on the next version when it is released? in other words, how long did it take to start working on CM7 when 2.3 was released as AOSP? (Not an eta!)
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
fixed :cool:

We will probably have workable builds very quickly. But no one really knows for sure given that Honeycomb is a different beast and won't be well supported on most CM devices.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Just curious, what are the long term plans for CM7 tablet support? In general, if the Honeycomb ports go well, will CM7 continue to be maintained in parallel for those devices?
[Nook Color Android Development] mmalkin:
Warning! 100% speculation alert!

I think things will get a bit interesting on that front. 2.4 (also gingerbread but with dual core support) should be released in April. Honeycomb I'm guessing will be CM8, though only the cm people know for sure. However, Ice cream sandwich is slated for this summer and is being billed as "honeycomb for phones." So we may end up seeing some parallel cm's being developed (honeycomb for tablets and gb .3 and/or .4 for phones). Not sure if ICS will unify them again.

Also looked around and haven't seen a release date for honeycomb source though the sdk is out and the xoom is running it (begging for someone to make some dual core apps).
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
If we can get honeycomb working at or near feature parity with CM7 then I'll probably drop CM7 for the most part. I won't drop it completely but Honeycomb will be my focus.

[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
So far so good on nightly 8 for me as well, I've noticed something really weird with the market and MyApps though:

Before installing, I only wiped cache. Booted and ran fine. I opened Market and no MyApps and no App carousel at the top either. I followed Dalingrins instructions to uninstall updates, wipe data/cache for market, etc. Opened market again and MyApps showed. I was able to update 3 apps before being told the Item Couldn't be found. and when I backed out of my apps and went back in it was empty. Somehow the market lost it's connection to my account. I opened Titanium Backup, wiped cache and reloaded Market, accepted ToS again, and MyApps showed up. Again, a minute or so in and only two app updates later, same issue - no apps listed. Rewiped cache, reloaded market, MyApps showing, waited a minute, MyApps gone...

Going to try to generate a logcat of this and send it over to you.

Edit: OK, trying to generate a log that covers this whole process seems to create a LARGE/LONG log. Is there a filter I can place on it to help you out? (Sorry for my ignorance, but capturing logs on this device is a whole new world for me - but it seems my experience might help resolve the market MyApps issue) Unless you already know what/why this is happening in which case just tell me shut up so you can work on real issues. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Please see the first post for a template to report problems.

We really need for folks to follow the template and post logs. From now on please help me police bug reports. I'll need your help in getting people to post proper info.

This really doesn't help us at all. Please be verbose in telling us the issue you are having.

Also, to get the black screen to go away, hold down power and Nook button for 30+ seconds. Let go of both, hold power again for 2+ seconds and you should see your screen flash, and boot into CWR if you have a CWR SD card in. I will be shocked if this doesn't fix it...

However, when I connect my nc via usb and pull up adb, I can get my command prompt window to display the logcat as I go through the process, but I can't find the 'log.txt' file anywhere on my nc or on my pc, where does this file go? Or is there another command that I am missing for adb?
[Nook Color Android Development] elwood1229:
Upgraded to N8 directly from N5 without wiping. Mostly working well, but I am having difficulty with wifi. If I turn the NC off for a short time, everything starts up ok when I turn it back on. If I leave it off for a couple of hours, however, wifi is difficult to restart. When I go into wifi settings, it shows it turning on, then goes immediately off and continues to cycle on and off until finally after a while it seems to catch. Once it does, it all works well until it is off for a couple of hours or more again. Don't know if my not doing a full wipe is the cause or not but I did not have this problem on N5. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
Several people have reported this, and I've seen it myself. Simply switching the screen off and on again will usually fix it. Otherwise jumping straight to network selection (e.g. using wifi buddy seems to fix it) forcing it disconnect and then reconnect to the netork it is trying to connect to also tends to fix it. As does fogetting the network it is trying to connect to. In my case at least it seems to occur when there is a 'remembered' network that has changed (I can normally get this behavior to start if i change wifi settings in my router).
[Nook Color Android Development] TrailBlazer31:
wifi

i had this problem also. I rebooted nook and connected to wifi and then unde settings>network>wireless settings press menu button and select advanced change wifi sleep policy to never disconnect.

In my case that fixed it. Nook would disconnect from wifi when the screen shut off and wouldnt come back online.

give it a shot
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
I haven't seen this intermittent connection problem at all, but also don't forget that you can completely wipe out your wifi settings by:

Pretty sure about that? I've benched several times at 1300 and have gotten results consistent with that speed via tweaks.

If that weren't the case, how do you think people are clocking up to 1350 successfully?

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
The way our system works, our CPU has 5 clock settings that it can set itself to. Both programs use these, but in different ways.

Nook tweaks allows you to set each one of these setting to what ever clock speed you desire. So the stock OC settings of 300/600/900/1100/1200 can be overridden to 225/452/800/1192/1300 (for instance). However, this does not guarantee what the max speed your system is allowed to run at - this just gives 5 options.

CM7 Performance setting is the other half of the puzzle. The setup page reads the 5 set steppings (either the ones you set up, or the stock 300/600/900/1100/1200), and allows you to set a min and a max system clock speed. So, with Nook settings, you can set your highest stepping to be 1400; but if you set your max system clock to be 1100 (assuming that is one of your steppings), your CPU will never go over 1100. Likewise, your min clock determines how low your system can go, again using the allowed steppings.

Hope that clears something up for ya'll. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Nicely done, Madcat. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
It's all in the manual folks! ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Clearing cache fixed my issue. Thx
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Maybe I'm missing the obvious.

If I reset all settings in Nook Tweaks, and have my CPU settings set to the max of 1200, changing the 5th step to 1300 in Tweaks _also_ changes the max to 1300 in Settings automatically without any intervention. Thus, my answer to the question was correct - changing the setting in Tweaks is all that is required, which I think was mentioned by dalingrin at one point in the OC thread.

Hope that clears things up. :)

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Wow u r proving to be dense. If u have cm7 set at the highest step, yes naturally whatever u set the highest step at in tweaks is what u get. The point is, you use cm7 to choose one, or a combination (a governor other than performance) of frequencies from tweaks.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
I misread the original question as 1200. Case closed.

Where did you format the card? Make sure the partition is set as primary or the nook won't see it. There are several SDCard utilities you can use to determine that.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
16gb shoud work fine. Did you check it with another device, phone for instance? Try formatting with the other device not a PC. You can also try the SDFormatter utility for the PC which works wonders for mixed format SD cards. ...
