Actually the honeycomb source code has recently been released.

It may not change things though.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
The first zip I posted on November 11 replaces the original wifi module with a modified wifi module that a user modified to prevent SODs. The second zip I posted on November 17 is different. It replaces the stock CM kernel with a modified kernel patched by dalingrin to prevent SODs. The second posted zip also takes the modified wifi module back to stock. You can flash the second zip on your system whether you had flashed my first zip or not. It works either way. Dal is encouraging everyone to try this new kernel and post feedback here on whether it prevents SODs.

(Edit: Brian modified his zip to fix an issue with Nook Tweaks. See my edited November 17 post for new link.)

And I had added the signal bar fix to some of the versions of my zips. According to Dal, as of the next nightly (starting after 253) that fix is not necessary anymore. I will be modifying my post to take the signal fix zip down as soon as I verify it is fixed.
[Nook Color Android Development] GTT1:
And I understand the latest fix has been changed again and that this is the fix that should be used correct

From this post
[Nook Color Android Development] escabar:
Been using build 214 due stability issues with later builds.

Just installed build 253 (only cleared cache and Dalvik - ran backup before starting - prepared to do full wipe).

Signal issue / patch has not been applied to build 253. Applied leapinlar's modified Dalgrin kernel right after I flashed build 253. NC booted all the way. I let everything settle (~5 min) before rebooting a 2nd time. Seems stable...definitely seems zippier compared to 214 build and released stable build. Everything seems to be working great!!!

Will try to test SOD issue tonight.

Anxiously waiting to see CM ICS based release...

I've been running your kernel for about 24 hours with wifi sleep policy set to "Never", and have had no SOD's!

Great job guys. Thanks

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Dal, I think you have done it. I also have had no SODs since I loaded this kernel two days ago and I always had them regularly on the stock CM 7.1 and nightlies.
[Nook Color Android Development] falkor165:
OK have been away from nc forum for a bit was gonna flash 253, can someone please just post which files are up to date for fixes with SOD and what not. I will be doing a clean install so do I just throw these kernal fixes on right away after flashing the nightly?
[Nook Color Android Development] MechaGen:
Here's Leapinlar's post

[Nook Color Android Development] falkor165:
so just flash the last link for new kernal and thats it?
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
That is now old, use the new images from my first quoted post.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
If you want to fix the signal bar issue it is still appropriate to flash the following file. Starting the next nightly (after 253), it will not be necessary to flash this file since it should be fixed in the nightly.

Signal bar fix with original SOD kernel:

http://d01.megashares.com/index.php?d01=LBKwElp

If you want Brian's latest zip which has an updated SOD kernel and some added files to fix a Nook Tweaks issue, flash this too:

New SOD kernel with Nook Tweaks mods

http://www.multiupload.com/D2Z5R1J9N6

You should flash my zip (the first one listed above) followed by Brian's (the second one). This assures the correct kernel is in place.

After the next nightly when the signal bar issue is fixed, just flash the second file.
[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
I don't know why, but I cannot get the signal bar fix from megashares to download. Any other links to get it?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I don't have it posted anywhere else. With the fix in the nightly coming soon, I am reluctant to repost it. Just keep trying, I checked the link just now and it works for me. The original poster (keyodi) has the modified file attached to this board and you can search for him or the file name (SystemUI.apk). If you know how you can install it manually.

Edit: I just found his post. Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18974206

After you have installed it (with root explorer or file expert) don't forget to set the permissions the same as the other files and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I'm using the stock kernel with N253 but don't have any SOD issues. What could I be doing wrong? :D
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
That is why SOD is/was so hard to track down. It is very hard to reproduce.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
For me, this doesn't show the signal, but it does still allocate the bar space for it. Is this true for everybody?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, it does the same for me. Hopefully the fix by Dal in the next nightly will not do that.

BTW, still no SODs with the new kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Seems build bot is taking a while, so I built my own.

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Thanks for the build!

It does fix the signal bar issue without the extra space on the status bar. Thanks Dal!

Anyone know if cm7 supports iptables? I am trying to get cisco anyconnect to work but no luck!
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Great!

Dammit, I just got one. It seems that I get them only (but not always) if I unplug while the screen is off.

My WiFi sleep policy is "never when plugged in".
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
Well, the program is there and runs, but I don't find the modules anywhere.

How are you fixed for kernel compiling?
[Nook Color Android Development] jimmyz:
I know tun support is built into the cm7 kernel (I have vpnconnections running well) so I assume its the iptables binary that is missing. To be honest I don't even know what iptables binary is!

EdIT not so sure why it isn't working. Logcat has something about "user must confirm missing key" . It does work on my epic 4g

I assume you have the Amazon App store installed and then tried the app while logged in to your account?
[Nook Color Android Development] punchcard:
The amazon app installs fine but I'm failing the root check before I'm able to log in and watch a movie.

Note. I'm talking about amazon's video on demand app, not the app store. But yes, the app store is installed and working fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Similar experience, may help you. I had the app installed from this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228759

I got pocket Blu and it failed the root check, so I switched the SU to MU and cleared cache on the Blu app. Next it ran, no problems. I switched back and everything was still good. This may help if the app is looking for the SU.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
I think what he was getting at was apps downloaded from Amazon will not run unless you have the Amazon app store open and logged in. So make sure you have it running too.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Does nburnes' build have the kernel fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
No, you still need to flash the kernel fix. It still has the stock kernel and I ran it that way for a while to see if I would get an SOD and I did. Flashed the new kernel and all is well.

The signal bar issue is fixed.
[Nook Color Android Development] kar_:
leapinlar, can you wirte down all the steps with where you can get the files here because I can't see the trees through the forest anymore. You find all this different info and installingguides everywhere.
[Nook Color Android Development] escabar:
No More SOD For Me!!!

It has been 3 days and 3 nights so far for me since applying nightly 253 + Dalgrin fixed kernel + leapinlar mod signal fix....and no more SOD for me!!! Horray!!!

Will continue to test and report.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Just go to this post. Everything is still current there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19508807

That will show you how to patch the recent nightlies to fix the signal bar issue and apply the SOD kernel.

You can apply the SOD kernel fix to CM7.1 stable but do not apply the signal bar fix to it because the signal bars are not broken in that version.

I would contribute immediately to both Dal and Cyanogen if someone points me to a place to do so.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
To donate to Dal, go here:

EDIT: Sorry, that link timed out. To see his donate link, go to market and download and install "Nook Color Tweaks". Open it and there is a "Donate to Dalingrin" link there.

For Cyanogenmod, go to their website here. Scroll to the bottom of the page and see a donate link.
[Nook Color Android Development] kgptzac:
Sorry for not been in touch with latest nightly development. I heard 253 is good so I flashed it. Now there is the ever present airplane icon on my status bar. Is there a fix for this?
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
go back and read that last few pages of this thread. next nightly when it comes out will fix it, there is a link to a build compiled a page or so back by leapinlar. There is also SOD kernel patch you will want to apply on 253 that was done by Dalingrin.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
Will ALL of the little fixes and new kernel be included in the next nightly, or will secondary patches still be required?
[Nook Color Android Development] timmyjoe42:
Does anyone know why hasn't there been a nightly in over a week? Has there been another Linux breach, too much ICS development, or compiling of bug fixes?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
The signal bar/airplane indicator bug fix is slated to be included in the next nightly. Nburnes actually created an advance build of that and it works perfectly.

However, I think the kernel mod is still a ways off. I'm sure once dalingrin is convinced that this mod works, he will start it through the approval process to get in a nightly.

Therefore, after the next nightly comes out, it will not be necessary to patch for the signal bars, but will necessary to patch the kernel if you want to prevent SODs.
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
I don't see it in the changelog- that said it could be added but I haven't read anything stating it is going to be. All i know is the signal bars is in there. The kernel can be flashed pretty easy. I assume eventually it will make it's way in there.

I wonder this too.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
There have not been any nightlies for any device since November 17. There must be something wrong somewhere. I hope they get it going again soon, I'm having flash withdrawal.

For those that just can't wait, Nburnes did make a build a few posts back (November 20) and it works great.
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
Most work is happening on getting ICS started. This work is not visible in nightlys yet.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
alpha 3 of CM7 for the Touchpad was just released yesterday and the TP has been getting a lot of focus from the big devs who own them. I wouldn't be surprised if that is a big part of the recent lack of nightlies
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
The lack of recent nightlies is because build bot is not building...I would assume that is because CM 7.2 is coming out soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] BoomKaput:
SOD with kerner update, 7.1 stable, was running taptu shut off screen with power button. Now nook won't turn on even when I conect it. Forgot to mention sleep policy is set to "never".
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
Thanks. I forgot that the builds are automated, though I was still thinking that maybe there were no related commits to have to build a new nightly
[Nook Color Android Development] waylo:
Have to also report a SOD with the new kernel fix, applied to 7.1 release, just a few hours after flashing. The hacked wifi module put together earlier had been working just fine x weeks, so I flashed the new kernel fix to test it out. I'm having some wonky battery life issues, however, so I was trying to determine why that was.

Sorry to report it doesn't seem to be working for me at least.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bonnie_Raitt:
I've been away for a while. I read the past few pages and saw the recent problems. Someone mention that they were going to load the last nightly before this problem surfaced.I think he suggested using Nightly 235. When I go to http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore and try to down load that ROM, I get a file not found.

2 questions:

1. Is this the right nightly to get?

2. If, so, where can I get it?
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
It's fine mate. If you want, I have uploaded another build here.

http://www.mediafire.com/?56d6wuajlw4vq98

Built at 3:40 pm CT up to:

DSPManager: Add new string for device Specific Audio Effects button (android_packages_apps_DSPManager)

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

Will still need to flash the SOD kernel if needed.
[Nook Color Android Development] BitingChaos:
The latest nightlies aren't out yet. The buildbot hasn't done anything in a week. Try again next week. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Bonnie_Raitt:
I'm confused. I downloaded and installed 253
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
BitingChaos, you are confused on your numbers. 235 was released on October 29.

Bonnie_Raitt, if you are looking for the last nightly that was not affected by the signal bar/airplane indicator bug, it was 233.

Edit: I just tried to download that one and it also said file not found. I recommend you stay with 253 and just patch it with the signal bar/kernel patch until after the next nightly.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Or yanno, just run my build which was compiled earlier today (instead of waiting unknown amount of time for build bot), that already includes the actual signal bar fix, but not the kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] ziggy34:

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I did a build yesterday with the patched kernel. It already included the cell signal fix.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32316-sleep-of-death-debugging/page__view__findpost__p__271034

Maybe the reason we are not getting any nightlies is because they are about to release a new stable image (7.2.0)?
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
SOD definitely is gone, but seems this ROM lags like all hell after a day of use. Is that just me?

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Just checked some of the tweets from the CM guys and apparently there is a bad hard drive on one of their master servers. They say it is all still CM7 stuff on the servers and very little activity on CM7 right now so no big deal. No ETA for fixing the nightly buildbot.

So if you want updated ROMS, download Nburnes's or Brian Faris's custom builds a few posts back. Brian's has the SOD kernel fix already in it.

You can get Brian's here:

Yep, this update is great. I may be imagining things, but my nook seems to be working noticeably faster. Thanks aplenty to Brian and to leapinlar for the link.

[Nook Color Android Development] crandy2:
Same for me. I ran the modded wifi driver for about a week with no SOD's, then started running the kang builds with the modded kernels. Now I get one every day or two. Downloading Brians. 11/30 build now.
[Nook Color Android Development] dreamhunterr:
I just got a Nook Color a few days ago. I'm using the latest build.

In every wallpaper I notice some very serious banding.

I downloaded Nook Tweaks just to check if I was running it in 32 bit mode (which I was) and switched to 16 bits just to try it out. I really didn't notice any difference.

So, it's really this bad always or am I doing something wrong?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
What is you wifi policy set to?
[Nook Color Android Development] crandy2:
It's been set to wifi off when screen off all along. I haven't had one since flashing the 11/30 build yesterday.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
In case some of you are still holding your breath for a new nightly, you are going to turn bluer. The guys at CM7 say still no ETA for getting it fixed. A few days ago they said it was a hard drive and hard drives were in short supply now. For us mere mortals that does not sound right, but given the size of hard drives these servers probably have, they may be hard to get.

Anyway, expect nothing soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] zombieflanders:
This mere mortal definitely thinks it sounds right. There's been extremely nasty flooding in Thailand recently, and hard drives, especially large-capacity ones, are getting pretty expensive and hard to find.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
Yep, hard drive prices have tripled or quadrupled in the last month at many stores. Most of the big hard drive vendors own or buy from factories in that area.
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Running the 253 build with the 20110613 gapps, all my apps keep crashing randomly and continue to crash until I reboot :(, anyone else having this problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] ponyboy82:
Are you running off of an sd card, or emmc? If sd, what type of card?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Did you clear Dalvik cache when you installed the nightly? You need to. Also try fixing permissions. If you are on emmc you can do both of those with ROM manager. If you are on SD card, go to recovery to do those.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I usually charge my NC by connecting the charging cable and shutting down the Nook. With the past several nightlies, it will often boot up by itself a while later. If I shut down again, it stays off and charges normally. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Its a fresh install, not sure how to do it in recovery (since its a text output, no input D: ), can I just do it in rom manager if im on sd?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it, trying now!
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
ROM manager does not work well with SD installs. You can use ROM manager to get into recovery (I think, I'm not real familiar with SD installs). Once there, you just use the up/down volume keys to select the menus and nook button to select. Power button is back. Go to advanced, and wipe dalvik and fix permissions are both there. Just do one after another, then reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Seemed to work ok, but after I hit reboot it tried to reboot into emmc (stock) and after I turned it off and booted to the SD its still happening. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Like I said, I don't know a lot about SD installs. Maybe the dalvik wipe and fix permissions was done on emmc. Maybe someone here that knows more about SD installs can help you.
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Ok, thanks for the help anyway =p
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Midnitte, why don't you answer ponyboy. I think what he was getting at is some SD cards do not perform well for CM7 SD installs, especially higher class ones. You should be using a class 2 or 4 card, nothing above that. It seems that higher class cards don't do well with small file read/writes and CM7 needs that.
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Oops, didnt see that. Adata 8gb class 6. Shouldn't higher cards not have a problem? class 6 should be able to read/write at 6mb/s while class 2 and 4 are only 2/4mb/s... D:
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
That's for large files. There are many threads here that say no higher than class 4. There are a tremendous number of small file read/ writes with CM7 and the lower class cards actually do better at small files. I know it's counter intuitive, but true. People have run benchmarks. I recommend using a small, cheap class 2 card to test with and see.

Edit: look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12330898
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Guess im buying a class 2 then :(

(I'll report back once I get it, hopefully that fixes the problem then heh)
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
I could be wrong, but I believe the key is to get a Sandisk class 2 or 4.... Not just any class 2 card.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Exactly. Sandisk class 2 cards typically outperform class 6 cards from "good" brands and class 10 "eBay-special" cards.

The reasons for this are Sandisk (a) makes very good cards and (b) doesn't exaggerate their performance claims like everyone else does.
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Well thats what I got =p, only $8 heh
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
hm, interestingly I changed compcach RAM usage to 10%, allowed purging of assets, and changed the VM heap size to 24m and it hasnt crashed anything yet. I'll see if the new sandisk card fixes it and if those changes prevent it from crashing like exxon valdez...
