I dont know what you particular problem is but, are you sure you are running the latest CM builds? I mean unless you've tried something else in the meanwhile to mess up your internal partitions, they should show up in CM7.

Be careful when flashing the latest nightlys... usually if you haven't flashed them before, format your data and cache partitions. Use the latest CWR image and download the latest gapps.

In any case, once you've booted into CM, you can get to a shell via adb shell and execute this command to check your partitions:

# fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7944 MB, 7944011776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 965 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Thats pretty much the stock layout on the nook for the internal storage. Partition 8 is what you have for the internal storage and it is around ~5Gb

I just flashed the zip via cwr 3010. Ive tried it with the card in or out and get the same result. What can I do? I cant get that winimage method to work....
[Nook Color Android Development] nlancaster:
Well, I will reflash with the latest nightly format the data&cache partitions.

the 5gb partition is mounted as emmc. that is the issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] turqoise:
I'm running the latest nightly 18 now and having peculiar problem.

I have set up wifi hotspot on my nexus also running on cm7. I got my nook connected successfully on the hotspot but can't seem to have internet access.

what's weird is that when I have my nook ping a website say google via a terminal emulator in the background, the internet connectivity will then be there and I can surf with the browser.

Any thoughts?

[Nook Color Android Development] barrist:
i just noticed this too. i have no trouble installing anything so far, but it does seem to show that i only have 1gb of internal storage. this is how the stock nook looks right? does cm7 allow the rest of the storage to be used as app data? i see the emmc folder in root explorer and it says 5.99gb free?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Did you format /system, /cache and /data in CWR as the instructions say before flashing?

Hi,

I am trying to build my own CM7 that I can incorporate into a dual boot Honeycomb/CM7 SD card. I have Honeycomb working off the sdcard on dual boot and can boot to rooted stock on emmc

I followed these directions for setting up my dual boot:

http://blog.different1.com/2011/03/hacking-the-nook-color-saga-1/

I wanted to deviate and roll my own because I was thinking it would be easier then unpacking, editing and repacking the ramdisk.

Couple things I found while following the Nookdevs wiki http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_CyanogenMod_Technical_Page entry for building my own SD CM7.

The sd_ramdisk_packer.sh script was not in the $OUT directory but I was able to find it in a scripts directory. It uses sed to change the partitions in init.encore.rc but it does not work correctly. (sed syntax is wrong and the partitions it trys to change appears to be different now).

I guess I should get to my questions:

The cm_encore_full-build.zip file from the nightlies has a bunch more directories and apk's then what is in my /system after i run brunch encore. How do I get them to build as part of my build process. I assume I could just copy the missing directories from the nightlies into my /system but wanted to understand why they are not there.

How do I have it rebuild files I have changed in $OUT/system. For example I know i modified init.encore.rc but when I rerun brunch encore it does not get updated back to a non modified state.

As it stands now my CM7 build will not boot (probably because of missing files) and get stuck with Android_(Blinking _) in upper left hand corner of the nook screen.

As I go I am creating image files that I should be able to share once I get it all working.
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
Oh, I know that there is lots to fix, I just meant that there were no substantial fixes in this build; that's all.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Tried 10.2 flash (leak) today and performance at youtube.com was much improved. It didn't play audio on most videos and it was choppy, but it was MUCH less choppy than it was on 10.1. Definately an improvement. Now we just need DPS and it should be kicking ass.
[Nook Color Android Development] barrist:
yep! can't wait for that! i was contemplating giving nookie froyo a try for its video capabilities, but i'm sticking with CM7 from here on out :)
[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
You will not see Quadrant work until they have gotten the DSP hardware communication working.
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Unfortunately, I heard that won't be on the radar for quite some time...?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
So, painfully stupid question - i just loaded up nightly 19 and Gapps, but being here at work, i realized i have no wifi access, and had to use the good old corner touching workaround to get to the system. When i do have wifi - any hints as to how to restart the google account stuff again?

Past that, i can't wait to see more progress on CM7. I think the DSP/Video drivers should be absolute top priority, but hey... what do i know? ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
Try opening Market again and you should get the account stuff started. If not, got to Settings and Add a Goggle account
[Nook Color Android Development] stilger:
Disregard the build questions. I don't have it working yet but I have a problem in my build environment which seems to be causing these problems. Working through fixing it now.
[Nook Color Android Development] neozen21:
Anyone have issues with Fruit Ninja and Air Attack HD?

After build 17, they don't run anymore. I'm currently on 19 and they still don't run.

They used to run with Build 15..
[Nook Color Android Development] barrist:
i tested fruit ninja and air attack last night on build 18, worked fine!
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Was this the flash honeycomb_install_flash_player 10.2.155.67.apk? Did you need to uninstall before side loading this version?

It didn't play audio on most videos, was the same true of audio with 10.1 for these videos?
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
Running stock when first installed it ran smooth as silk.

Now flash has lots of stuttering and overall the whole thing is sluggish.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
All you guys having YouTube/Flash/scrolling long lists running smooth first, then visibly stuttering, responsiveness deteriorating, etc. might want to monitor your Running services, available RAM (better be at total 360 MB at any time, if less, kill the syncs of every Gapps/Twitter/facebook and/or other crap that devours your memory for nothing.

However, it's not these RAM predators' fault exactly: once we may have a working DSP we hopefully could get rid of software rendering and resulting overload of caches.

Some excerpts of a year-long discussion of UI HW acceleration at code.google.com can be found in my blog.
[Nook Color Android Development] jstiel:
Or, you can use Buttonremapper and use the volume keys.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
The DSP's sole purpose is to decode video and audio. It will not help with scrolling lists. I think you value the DSP far more than its worth.

The scrolling issue is an upstream CM issue dealing with the theme engine. It is not Nook specific. If what you scrolling has android ui widgets then you'll have slow scrolling at times.

Things like scrolling in a browser are not affected.

The lists feel slow because the garbage collector is trying to free memory for each pixel you scroll. Run adb logcat to see it.

Hopefully the fix will be found soon upstream.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
I was of an opinion (you may call it illusion, sure) that DSP could be instrumental in HW assisted/accelerated rendering of moving objects. Sure, I'm wrong, as it stands now.

And on garbage collection issues I started to collect all the garbage they say about Dalvik/Java/garbage collecting at code.google.com in my blog, thank you for the leads. Sorry for the pun intended.
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
More or less of a request, not sure if the Dev's will be looking here:

Can IPv6 support be added please? I doesn't work in NookieFroyo or Honeycomb.

Yes, I do have actual IPv6 in my house and work. Support just doesn't seem to be built into the Kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
Will check for that next time it misbehaves. In the meantime would a good trouble-shooting step be to reboot and see if it fixes the problem? Or will these apps grab memory on boot anyways?
[Nook Color Android Development] mbh87:
You pretty much have to have no apps running to have 360mb free at any given time.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Since I installed CM7 adb doesn't work and every time I plug in my nc to the computer it asks to install drivers. I have tried to install them through windows and i also tried to update the driver through device manager and It always says nothign was found. Do we need different usb drivers for CM7?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
Ok. so the system has a total of 488 Mb RAM; even if i go in and kill everything user optional, or id do a clean reboot, there is only 274 free... i.e. 200 odd Mb is allocated to system crud (e.g. 22mb to the dialer!!! etc)... so a lot of bloat is being loaded at startup... does that sound right to you?
[Nook Color Android Development] timekeeper:
You need to change the usb_ini.inf in usb_driver, anything with VID_2080-PID_002 change PID_002 to PID_003, and then try installing the drivers again.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
You have already answered your question, and why is the "dialer", "maps"/"latitude" and other crap so dear to you to not to kill it -- at least for this session? About 360 MB is a total in a sum of about 280 plus 80 MB of (seemingly) inevitable bloat. Remember we deal with a 512 MB device, not a Xoom with its 1 GB room where you can have a party with all these useless "services". Running services should have 3 or 4 (max) services running, whatever essential should respawn on demand (or at Google's will, lol)

Of course, if there's a garbage collection going for on every pixel repainted, this saving of ~60....~100 MB of pure RAM waste will help only to prolong the agony.

-------------------------------

Somebody at Google, please kill the Dalvik and kick out all that Java (fineoils.blogspot.com)
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
:) tee hee hee

ok so i misunderstood you - i thought we need 360mb free, not 360mb actively assigned to the system

Hey I would LOVE to kill that nonsense, but we've been through several cycles of "never use a task killer" to "well ok rename those services" to "ooops, maybe that's why market ain't working" to "ok let's put it all back" :) so i bearing in mind how i'm mainly transplanating knowledge from other OS's here rather than actually knowing anything too deep about android, I figure best to leave well alone while the incredible folks actually doing the DEV work pootle away... I'd hate to contribute to the nosie/signal ratio on issues in CM7 just cos i'm messing with stuff i shouldn't be... :)

is the deeper issue here that google's own gapps aren't behaving the way apps should int he system (i.e. shutting down when not in use if memory is needed elsewhere)? I love this design concept of the OS, but clearly several programs don't abide by it (like how google's own damn browser won't actually shut down)
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
OK I got adb working now has anyone figured out how to overclock this yet?

Also my Gmail won't sync. Is this a known issue?

Does anyone have the stock CM7 kernel in a flashable zip? I want it so that if my NC doesnt like the OC kernel I can flash back to stock
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
Could you not just re-flash the ROM to return back? Or restore the Nandroid backup you took before flashing the overclock kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
That's true
[Nook Color Android Development] Clienterror:
I'm not sure but on my SGS phone nandroid backups don't actually backup/restore the kernel just the rom/apps. So I'm pretty sure this applies the same to the nook, but I could be wrong.

[Nook Color Android Development] xawen:
It will backup everything in /boot, which includes the kernel. That will give you the fail back you're looking for.
[Nook Color Android Development] neozen21:
Hmm.. I haven't tried the two with build 18..

But with build 19, Fruit Ninja just sits at the loading screen and nothing happens. With Air Attack HD, it force closes right away.

I tried reinstalling them already..
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Just downloaded Air Attack and it worked fine, did you make changes to the LCD Density?
[Nook Color Android Development] neozen21:
LCD Density's been set to 161 since Build 15 or earlier..

What's yours set at? It was working with Build 15 with LCD density 161 so..

I'm just using the stock kernel that came with CM7, but OC to 925mhz...
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
My is at default as well, have you tried a shutdown, I had issues with a few things after a load and a full shutdown and restart took care of the issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] wethead4:
My only hesitation is the lack of hardware acceleration for video. I am on nookie, now, and when I use software acceleration the sound and video are off sync. Is that how it is with the latest build on CM7 or can it play mp4s well in sync with software acceleration. I've been using rockplayer.
[Nook Color Android Development] Vettesfan:
How can I verify that I am running the latest nightly? I downloaded 19 right from my NC and used rom manager premium to update it. Rom manager is yelling me I am running CyanogenMod-7-03132011-NIGHTLY-encore

Is that what would be 19?
[Nook Color Android Development] AWiseMonkey:
Video playback is not good even with rockplayer. Mine is very jerky unless it is very low res and the sound isnt sync'd. It will be awesome once they get the drivers figured out, it and extending the bluetooth range are the final pieces for my Nook tablet puzzle!!! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] AWiseMonkey:
I believe that would be 18...19 should be 03142011.
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
Just built from source, wow...today's build feels SO FAST (which makes no sense, I don't see any code that would affect that). Also, google reader started working again (isn't super small). This build is amazing! As usual, I recommend you guys wait for the nightly, but if you are impatient, my build from CM source is available below in my twitter link. 'Thank me' if you like the build :) let me know if you think it seems faster. Also, I am running the latest dalingrin kernel: http://goo.gl/8wA2X (not built into the image though)

So I have not got an answer for my question/issue yet.

I am running CM7 nightly 19, with dalingrens OC kernel 031311

Is there a way to mount the 5gb partition as /sdcard?

On my captivate with cm7, the internal memory is mounted as /sdcard. And the external sdcard is mounted as /emmc.

This would let you use the nook color with out an sdcard.

Other then that issue the CM7 romworks great.

bootloop

I just flashed the dual-boot CM7 zip (cm-encore-full-3) running CW 3.0.1.0. I played around with it for a minute and everything worked fine and then I used the terminal to push gapps. I hit the market and it started the set-up procedure but it hung contacting the server for about 15 minutes. Nothing worked so I had to shut it down and try to start over. Now, I'm caught in a bootloop. It'll run the CyanogenMod7 screen and then show the hand touching the android and start all over. Any ideas?

What are the recommendations of flashing from one nightly to another?

Booting from SD and flash or can we just reboot intonrecovery and flash the zip off the SD. I do use 2 seperate SD
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I believe if you have CWM 3.0.1.0 (look in the CWM thread for loading) you can use recovery mode to load the new ROM.

I never let ROM manager auto update I go to recovery, back up, then apply a zip file from SDCard.

Ugh... The WiFi Monster

I updated to the latest nightly last night after doing a wipe, and the wifi started cycling on and off again; haven't had that problem in forever, it was working fine before. Tried Rainmakers trick of turning the airplane mode off then back on, all it did was give me the permanent airplane indicator. Let it sit overnight, was still cycling in the morning. What ended up fixing it (I think) was to forget my home network, turn on my Verizon MiFi and try to connect to it (it didn't), then connect to my home network again.... success! Not sure what exactly did it, but I thought I'd pass it on.

I also want to suggest that maybe we need to address this in the Q&A or even it's own thread, since this seems to be a common problem. Even when the search function is working, it's hard to sift through all of the posts to find a solution.

which doesn't make a lot of sense since Dalingrin makes both kernels, and I doubt the OC has anything to do with wifi.
[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
Even he states that his OC kernel has wifi connection issues and he doesn't know why. Its in his official kernel thread first page. It is not a problem that is present in the stock CM7 builds. Probably from one of the many modifications he has incorporated from others.

ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up. Maybe I will go back to stock with 950 MHZ OC. I have had wonky wifi as well occasionally.
