But some Nooks just are bad around the edges.. try a warranty exchange maybe?
[Nook Color Android Development] Lyphen:
Hey guys, just a quick question: is there any way to disable auto-rotation and make landscape the default display mode?
[Nook Color Android Development] gudism:
I think if you go to the Cyanogenmod settings, display setting, you can check just the one you want
[Nook Color Android Development] Lyphen:
Nah, seems like even if you set it to only take 90 degree view, disable auto-rotate sets it back to portrait. Oh well, it was more to see if it was possible than any real necessity.
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
I know that the paid adw has that option.
[Nook Color Android Development] gudism:
found this a few pages back, posted by ziggy34

from the home screen, press menu

See if lock desktop is there, might have to press the more option.

I havent tried it, just recalled reading it
[Nook Color Android Development] gudism:
yep, PBD again at the same point (14%) after flashing to n112 & 0618 kernal.

also experienced a loss of deep sleep. It was odd, when I first flashed, I have a very solid deep sleep, but after that point, it didnt sleep at all overnight, just stayed on 300mhz

am currently charging so will reboot and see if sleep returns.

Stock CM7 landscape lock:

[Nook Color Android Development] Lyphen:
Derp, so it's a launcher problem. Guess I'll have the weigh the pros and cons of Zeam vs. ADW.
[Nook Color Android Development] quepaso:
Ive tried all the launchers, i went back to ADW stock cm7, its the only one with landscape lock.
[Nook Color Android Development] DeadStiff:
Leave auto rotation on and select only 90 under display. Then all you have to do is rotate to 90 and it will be locked there. No more auto rotation.

This may have been posted already, but I am getting FC's on Angry Birds, Crazy Snowboard, and other games. Some games are telling me my hardware is no longer compatible.

I'm on n113 and have tried the original kernel and Dalingrin's 0618 kernel.

Anybody know why?

Also, yesterday I had a SOD on n112 with 0618 kernel
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
When you loaded N112 did you wipe cache and dalvik. If you did then try managing apps clear data or cache for each app that is Fc
[Nook Color Android Development] caballar:
Yes, I cleared cache and Dalvik, also fixed permissions. Also tried clearing data for Media Storage. I just tried clearing data for Angry Birds and still FC.

I installed n114 with 6/18 kernel. While charging my screen will dim but not shut off. I don't have the setting selected to enable the screen to stay on while charging. Just wondering if anyone else is having this happen or if something messed up with my install.

USB Host is moving along

I've been trying out the USB host mode.

I have a generic USB audio dongle and the mic audio input works well enough to use voice search and voice keyboard input. Have not tried it with VOIP, but it should work.

Great job on this. Can't wait until its all integrated into the nightly.

[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Pretty sure it was merged into the nightlies a while ago.

Edit - 7.1.0 RC 1 has been released! http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
[Nook Color Android Development] ianPhillips1:
well there went bed time....

7.1.0 RC1 is hot off The press.:)
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
One difference in 7.1.0 RC 1 I noticed is the max overclock is now 1300MHz rather than 1200 unless it's just reading my Nook Tweaks setting (which I still don't know which one has priority.)

Working great so far!
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Some parts of USB have been merged, but not yet the auto mounting of USB data storage though I see its on the open list of changes, so will be coming soon after the 7.1.0 RC.

Great job on this. Can't wait until its all integrated into the nightly with webcam support and USB storage auto mount.

Thats pretty good, So what setting did you use to to that? I guessing wifi off, cpu max 300mhz, governors set to conservative and background data unchecked?
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
I got similar battery life (not that long but about 5 days of good use total) just by turning off Wifi. The nook slept and no PBD/SOD experienced.
[Nook Color Android Development] aaronbutton:
Please correct me if I am wrong as i'm a noob to nooks.

Nook tweeks lets you adjust the frequency of each step. For example if you had a 800Mhz processor it may have a FSB of 200Mhz and a multiplier of 4. When it is under maximum load is will run with this multiplier, However when not so much processing power is required it may run at 300Mhz using a multiplier of 1.5. Depending on the Governor you have selected the CPU will scale down and up to meet demands and try to meet the % of usage asked by the Governor, it may have a target of 80% usage for instance. There are multiple steps to keep the performance smooth and matched to the demand. The nook tweeks app allows you to set up or down the steps so you could have a larger jump if you liked such as from 240Mhz to 800Mhz and the frequency you select from the setting just sets the minimum and maximum step from the pre-selected settings from nook tweeks.

This is just my understanding of it and as I mentioned I am pretty new to nooks. If my understanding is correct I would set the final step to the maximum I would clock to thus maximizing the steps and keeping the transitions smooth as possible.

[Nook Color Android Development] DeathsArrow:
HBO GO has never worked for me, I believe it has to do with the device not having an IMEI code.

Try getting the 6/18 OC kernel

Here's the thread

[Nook Color Android Development] crea78:
Thanks, I'll see how that goes. Is there a way to go back to CWM in order to restore to 7.0.3 since it goes straight to the marquee and then the black screen with the android_ text?

Edit: Nvm, thankfully I have another microSD with CWM already preinstalled.
[Nook Color Android Development] ottoman1384:
What does this mean? I'm on 7.0.3 right now and tried to install 7.1rc. I would get the green cyanogen marquee and then the screen would go black and stay there.

I had to manually force it to turn off and then restore to 7.0.3.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] crea78:
Same thing happened to me...
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Have you tried manually formatting /system and /cache, then flashing 7.1 rc1?
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
IRRC, the previous RCs all run the .29 kernel. A lot has changed since then, which is why it has been recommended to everyone that they do a full wipe of their system before installing any .32 releases.

Did either of you format your partitions (with the exception of /boot) before flashing the new RC?

Nburnes beat me to it. :P
[Nook Color Android Development] Wipeout:
Curious if anyone is having issues with bluetooth keyboards with the latest nightlies/RC1 and the 6/18 OC kernel.

I have an Apple wireless (2-battery) keyboard that pairs with the NC just fine, but I cannot get any of the keystrokes to register. Way back (maybe around nightly ~85) I seem to recall someone saying that there were some issues with Bluetooth and the .32 kernel. Is this a "just me" thing or are others having similar issues?
[Nook Color Android Development] crea78:
Once my 7.0.3 is restored, I will do a full wipe and try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] fntms:
RC1 and keys...

I "lost" all NC keys with RC1 with OC kernel 1300hz (no response to any physical keys), but now all is well again with n115...
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
That recommendation is extreme, and basically unneeded. As long as the cache is wiped, going to a .29 to .32 kernel is just like going to a .29 to .29 kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] Chahk:
Actually no, it's pretty much the same settings I have it on for every day use. Wifi is on, set to disable when screen turns off. CPU profile is Ondemand governor with 300 MHz min and 1200 MHz max. Background data and Auto-sync are both enabled. It just spends 99% of the time in Deep Sleep, according to CPU Spy. I did wake it up occasionally throughout the week to update apps and what not, but so far it's getting an incredible battery life in "minimal use" scenario.
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
You'd know better than me.

I'm relaying what was suggested to me because it worked rather well. A backup of some apps with the free Titanium, not including any system settings, formatting, then backup restoration worked great.

It'll be cool if cache clearing does it for them.
[Nook Color Android Development] Drew66:
Is 115 nightly the experimental release after RC1? Con't seem to locate changelog.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
That works if you don't actually use your tablet, but many people do, and cannot afford the silliness induced by wiping.

"It'll be cool if cache clearing does it for them"

Its not an "if" situation.. it is an "is" situation. It DOES work, and it is all that is required. At worst, you have a corrupt flash; no biggie, just load up CWM and restore your backup (and if you don't backup, you deserve data loss). Having flashed continuously since around nightly 32, i have never once seen a need to do a data wipe (same with others)..
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Been flashing nightlies over each other since the first one, betas too. Never once have I wiped. As a rule I just clear both caches. Never had a problem. I use my tablet exstensivly every day. In short, I agree and confirm what u said.
[Nook Color Android Development] Drew66:

[Nook Color Android Development] boxcar8028:
most of my sleep issues are almost resolved. my SOD and PBD has been fixed by the magic of dalingrin and fattire. and by not using a live wallpaper my nook will now deep sleep but not all night. it would show 3-4 hrs of deep sleep and 3-4 hrs at 300mhz. something in the background is interrupting deep sleep.

finally I have figured it out. by going into settings, Accounts & sync and uncheck Background data I can achieve true deep sleep all night and awake just fine with no SOD and battery is at minimal use. not sure if this is just happening to me or not but I hope this information can be helpful to anyone with sleep issues. and maybe the devs can make the Background data truly go to sleep with the screen.

other then this last little sleep issue my nook is running super smooth and snappy. its amazing. love it. :D

SOD - Sleep of Death : upon turning off screen, then at some point in the future trying to turn back on. Nothing works except holding down power for 8 seconds for a hard shutdown and reboot.

PBD - Premature Battery Death : Problem with Nooks on CM7 until recently, where your Nook dies early around 20-30% (or somewhere around there) with no warning and the only way to bring it back is to plug in to charger.
[Nook Color Android Development] dustrho:
Thanks for the info about those terms. Yes, my brand new NOOK Color running the latest CM7 nightlies has definitely experienced the SOD issue a few times already. Next time it happens I'll try to remind myself to go back to that SOD thread and provide my info.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
SOD = "sleep of death" -- originally (before CM7 4 nook ever appeared publicly) this was a kernel issue where putting the nook to sleep would instantly, reproducably and irretrievably result in the system "death"-- ie, it crashed and wouldn't wake up. This problem was "fixed" in 2.6.29 systems via setting a "wake-lock"-- meaning that while the backlight flipped off and the screen went to sleep, the nook itself never fully slept as "deeply" as it could. In newer versions, based on 2.6.32, full deep sleep is now possible, meaning that battery life is preserved more during sleep. About ten times less consumption of batter while sleeping. Unfortunately, some people are still reporting various incarnations of "sleep of death", which seems to have a variety of meanings and symptoms-- most of which, as far as I can tell, are not"it goes to sleep and instantly wont' come back up" but are more along the lines of "It goes to sleep but after a few hours won't come back up" or "It goes to sleep but doesn't seem to be hitting "full" sleep after a while...

(someone will no doubt correct me if they've experienced a different type of "SOD"-- I haven't been following it closely as for weeks I get only full, normal, awakable sleep...)

PBD-- "premature battery death"- - the symptoms for this included mis-reporting of battery levels (either too high or too low) along with the device running out of battery unexpectedly and without warning rather than cleanly shutting down, usually at around 20-30% reported charge. This began to appear during the first tests of the 2.6.32 kernel. After some investigation, the cause of PBD was determined to be CM7 not updating a file in /rom used by the battery to update its internal power consumption models for reporting charge levels. After CM7 was updated to do this, PBD seems to have disappeared for most (but not necessarily all) people, although it requires several power cycles in order for the battery to adjust to the new information and fix itself.
[Nook Color Android Development] dustrho:
Great explanation fattire! So any idea what is the best kernel to be using with the latest CM7 nightlies? I'm running the dalingrin 0618 kernel at only 800 MHz (no need to overclock IMO).
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
Like I said, you'd know better than me. I'm happy to be corrected regarding the need to format /data when moving from a very old .29 release to a very new .32 release.

Also a bit of advise, if I may: though you know a great deal about NC development, it is better if you don't make implications about whether people "use" their hardware.

Perhaps I'm being a bit sensitive, but I do use my tablet. Your comment above comes across as dismissive and a bit rude.

However, I do thank you for your past, current and continuing work on our favorite "eReader". :)
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
Hey, everyone. I was away for a minute, but I'm on 115 with the current OC kernel.

If this has been addressed a billion times, sorry! Is there any way to get the screen off and screen on animations to work? Screen off works fine, but I can never get screen on to work. Obviously not a huge deal, but I'm curious. Everything else is working flawlessly.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Call it a source of frustration, but I could pull my hair out from seeing everyone needlessly suggest a data wipe as a first course of action. Most issues are resolved with a cache wipe, or simply redoing a bad flash.

As for being dismissive... That wasn't my intent. It is just more of disbelief that anyone willing to so ready wipe data its actually using their tablet for more than flashing roms. Losing things like saved games, user settings, and app settings can be a serious pain; I cannot imagine being willing to start over every few days. Thus, in my mind, if you are willing to start over like that all the time, then you aren't really using the tablet.
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
I believe Dal disabled the screen on animation since the screen takes so long to come on. The animation runs before the screen is ready to display.

Many of those -- that is, the more popular ones -- are available for free from the Amazon store. There's no need to side-load and the formatting is a touch better. For fee versions will sometimes pop up in a search, but if you dig a little, the free ones are there.

Ever since updating to n114 and above my screen will not cut off on its own while its charging by AC. I could have sworn the screen would time out before on previous builds. I've tried going back to n113 without it working. I don't have it enabled to stay on while charging under applications/development. Is there somewhere else in the settings that would cause this to happen.

Quick question about battery life:

I know there's LOTS of variables with this; obvioisly CPU settings, also data, wifi, brightness, widgets, video and app use, etc, etc...

I'm curious what kind of battery life other people are seeing with continual use- web browsing ONLY.

For example, I use mine mainly for web browsing:

Most recent nightly + 6/18 kernel

(On demand govenor- steppings: 300, 600, 900, 1100, 1300)

3 or 3 1/2 hours of continual use will use 60% (or more) of my battery

My battery life seems to get better and better, with each nightly/kernel- so no complaints. I was just wondering if that was good, average, or terrible.

Anyone care to share?
