I'm getting broken My Apps in market with the changed default density to 161 in the nightlies as well as a thin vertical line on the bottom of the notifications pulldown. Changed it to 169.33333 and it all works again and the line is gone. Anyone experiencing the same?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Market is fine, but have that line. You edit the file manually or use an app to change the dpi?

Broken Dropbox from deleting Phone.apk

Hey all, solved the above problem. I renamed the phone and tele...provider apks, but it seems to be tied to the clock somehow (even if you do manual time/date). Just a heads up, renaming/deleting the phone/and associated apks will mess up Dropbox (and maybe others).
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
So at one extreme of BT demands... My ht820 headphones have a range of about 1-2 feet with the nook, compared with maybe 10-20 feet with my htc hero.

For information only. Not complaining. I am so slaphappy right now.

I did have to wipe both cache and data before it took (same problem as everyone else - BT turned on and off, and even a cold restart did not help). I thought to run TB beforehand but of course did not backup up ADW... just spent an hour rebuilding my PERFECT home screen... but no problem when I GET TO LISTEN TO MUSIC VIA BT AS I'M DOING IT.

You guys are just fantastic.

I'm itching to trying something bt with NC. The only thing we have is a couple of wiimotes. How can I use these with the NC?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I have downloaded the sd version and unzip it. I just finished installing gapps from adb. How do we install OC kernel on sd card version of BT?

I have been searching here and HoneyComb sd card threads but still not sure what to do.
[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
Search the market for "wiimote" you can download the wiimote interface then look for emulators that returned from that search result. Those are supported by the wiimote interface.

I just installed Nightly 17, and the hardware Nook button no longer seems to do anything. Suggestions? SoftKeys sort of works, but its "home" button is launching ADW instead of LauncherPro.

Correction: pushing the button does cause the screen to wake up, if the device is sleeping. But, once the screen is on, the button doesn't appear to do anything.

Yes: I have rebooted.

What is the file name and location?
[Nook Color Android Development] ericman77:
I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth key board but this key board sends a random password that pops up on the screen when scanning for devices then you type that in on the keyboard to pair. The nook doesn't see the password. A window comes up to enter the password but there's no way of knowing what the password is. Anyone have a way I could get it to connect?
[Nook Color Android Development] mmarsman:
Just an fyi, I loaded nightly 17 and I couldn't get BT to turn on. I restarted several times, but still it wouldn't turn on. I then decided to go back into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache again, and reload 17. When I rebooted everything seems to be working now.
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:

[Nook Color Android Development] eNkrypt:
Thanks for the information :)

So what could be the problem with the distance dilemma? Do you guys think it is hardware related? Or is their some code that can be made that could give more power to the transmitter/receiver boosting the signal?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Forgot to wipe dalvik - that fixed it for me. Thanks!

Bluetooth Testing

I have conducted range testing with my Nexus One Paired to the Nook.

Pairing - Required range < 12 inches.

Transfer Files from Nexus to Nook > 4 Feet.

Transfer Files from Nook to Nexus < 12 inches.

Seems to me either power output from the nook is very poor, or the Antenna is non existent. Since the Nook Bluetooth most likely uses the wireless Ant, I believe the bluetooth power output is being majorly reduced from what it should be, possibly driver issue?

EDIT: Was able to transfer files from the Nexus One to the Nook from 10 feet away in an RF heavy environment.
[Nook Color Android Development] diomark:
Range is unusable for my headset :( but excited to try a wiimote later...

Works for my headphones

Works with my Sony MW600 headphones, it cuts out when I extend my arm with the nook color in my hand but still great progress, enjoying it right now. Gonna be great for my audio books. btw I had to wipe data and cache when I was updating to CM7 #17 from #15, the Bluetooth didn't want to turn on.

Edit:

Also works with my garmin bluetooth GPS
[Nook Color Android Development] cflynt:
Doubt you needed to wipe Data, just a simple reboot fixed mine heh. But hopefully ya didn't lose much!
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Very excited with the progress! I want a keyboard now! I am a programmer (~17 years) and I'm looking into coding on this platform. Love this build and loving the Encore platform. Hope to help out in a few months! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
I installed 17 over 15 with only a Cache Format.

Everything was fine except bluetooth would not turn on. So I assumed I needed to do a full data wipe.

Did that, reinstalled CM7-17 and gapps and the new Kernel.

Gapps does not install--I have the newest straight from the Wiki!

Anyone else have this problem??? is ADB Push my only answer?

Question..

I currently have nookie froyo on the eMMC. I ALSO have the latest and proper clockwork installed. I can click from within nookie froyo.. Reboot into clock work recovery and that works fine, couldn't i skip the whole bootable SD card section and just reboot into clockwork recovery like i do on my phone and wipe data/cache/dalvik and then flash a CM nightly + gapps and it be done? Am i missing something that makes this different than flashing nightlys on my EVO?

heh

I have a seperate SD disk.. i guess i could just flash the image to the SD disk, but then how would i install the nightly? Or does it due it automatically? I ask because the torrents listed are for RC'S which of course don't have the BT and newest changes..

basically. can i just flash cm_encore_full-17.zip from within updated clockwork recovery and it work properly?
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
hmm.... my Nook always rebooted everytime I paired it with the apple mini bluetooth keyboard I just bought today.

That was using the BT build from the first page. I then flashed #17 and now I can't turn on BT again. I reflashed the kernel but it still does not work.

Any tips on how I can get my new keyboard working? Even though I generally avoid apple hardware, I immediately fell in love with it and I need to see it working with my Nook :)
[Nook Color Android Development] violinbf:
Bummer about the range. Most likely there is no physical antenna for the bluetooth...time to bust out the soldering iron!
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
yes you can just flash normally :)
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
This chip only has one antenna port for both wifi and bt.
[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
Does this mean WiFi and bluetooth can share the same antenna which is already existing, or does that mean one or the other at a time?

Also, I cant find a link to CM7N17+(bluetooth) where can i find it?

if i just wipe cache can i flash over or do i need a total system and data wipe as well?

Finally, the bluetooth code, does it exist in the kernel (If i flash a different kernel will i lose bluetooth functionality?

Thanks!!
[Nook Color Android Development] eNkrypt:
I fixed the boot loop error, reason was I was installing gaps for froyo instead of downloading the gaps for CM7 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
So I turn Bluetooth On in settings and it turns Off after 5 seconds or so. Is there another way to activate it?

I did a full data wipe and am using the newest Kernel.... other tricks to get this thing going? (Using 17, for sure, the "No Service" and Airplane Mode notification are both removed)
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
Yes they can share the same antenna. It has to be tuned for those frequency though. If bt is working which it is then the antenna is tuned for it.

Hmmm... I can't get swype beta or any swype i have to work,. I downloaded this T SWIPE PRO... And i must say... It kicks slideIT's A$$
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
oh no, there's is definitely something for some people that gets set in /data that stops BT from working even after a cold reboot. It'd be great to know what it was so that we didn't have to wipe the whole partition!
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
Apologies for posting this in more than one thread, but I have started a thread over in accessories, with the intention of trying to put all the knowledge of working (and non-working) bluetooth devices together in one place in a standard format. Hopefully this wil help the communty and the DEVS

I grabbed the latest package for Gingerbead, flashed it through CWR 3.0.0.6 and nothing appears in my apps drawer when I go back into Android...
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
On the latest CM nightly, if you direct your browser to the Engadget page, you seem to get some sort of I/O or mismatch crash warning in a java applet. Possible stack overflow. I don't know, just thought it was worth pointing out. Don't know what a use for it would be though.

[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
Regarding bt range: I can use my wiimote 4-5 meters away from my nook. So yeah, 1-5ft is a bit conservative :)
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
That range seems to be exclusive to the Wiimote. I get the same results but when pairing with my laptop I have to be with in a foot.
[Nook Color Android Development] EpicFail236:
See, now I'm lucky to get 4-5 inches out of a wiimote. Though I'm finding that I on the other hand don't have wifi problems... to all you people here, is there a correlation there? If you're wifi is good, is your bt busted? Vice versa?

im having issues installing cm7 (nightly18) coming from a rooted 1.1 stock B&N rom

i followed these instructions to a T:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11452450&postcount=19

created the CWR card (using winrar and winimage32),

-booted into recovery (3.0.0.6)

-wiped system/data/cache

-installed cm7-n18.zip and then gapps (both MD5 checks passed)

-unmounted SD card and removed

-reboot...

then i get the "touch the future of reading" loading screen and then an "install failed" msg and stuck there

any troubleshooting tips? possible that i lost root?

EDIT:

something i noticed was that when i book into recovery it says i have CWR 3.0.0.6 and the instructions say i need CWR 3.0.1+... but i downloaded the latest one from the instructed site: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.1-ext4/

EDIT2:

anotehr thing i noticed, when i am installing the cm_encore_full-18.zip" from recovery, it just says "installing package" and then "done" about a minute later... its not like this video where while its installing it lists all the files and stuff.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXwEMDoreZs

[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
I have CM7N17 installed and still cant get Bluetooth to stay on for more than 5 seconds. I wiped system/data/cache/dalvik cache and it still does this on a fresh install. I noticed nightly 17 had a mention to not commit the bluetooth code. Does that mean i need a special CM7 Nightly version with the bluetooth code merged in?
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
You can't change a description once submitted I think. That was from before it included drivers.

Also Bluetooth not working? Hard reboot. Hold power until the nook is off, then power back on
[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
Total power cycled a few times already (non reboot) to no avail. Any other ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize choosing shutdown from inside CM7 and holding the power button are different. Apparently they are because that fixed it (holding power button to shut down) Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] karimsaud21:
Ive always wondered what is the point of nightlies, especially when most of the time they dont fix any of the functionality of the device. or do the nightlies just add what has been added/fixed/changed in the main Cyanogen tree?
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
Not true. The WL1271 has an antenna port for WiFi, one for BT, and one for FM. There is an external antenna switch controlled by the 1271 that allows them to share the same antenna. This is one of the things discovered in the board teardown.
[Nook Color Android Development] norkoastal:
Nightlies keep the rabid flash freaks fed until RC's and stables roll out..
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Yes, that's exactly what they are... the current state of the development effort, made available for public consumption.
[Nook Color Android Development] rulevoid:
So then does this mean that you should disable wifi when using bluetooth, or how can you control the switch to ensure the proper device is routed to antenna?
[Nook Color Android Development] norazi:
yes i followed those exact instructions except didnt install the OC kernel... i get the install failed msg
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
The software should be operating the switch as needed automatically. If that isn't happening correctly, symptoms could include total failure of one or the other protocol, or more likely error-prone (and therefore, slow) data transfer rates and limited range. In other words, pretty much what we are seeing now.
[Nook Color Android Development] barrist:
well the last nightly (or the one before it) added BT support, so that's pretty big. Plus its really no effort at all upgrading so why not? Also, it creates a pool of testers for the devs who can give user feedback on the progress.
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
The teardown by tech republic doesn't show that. You have to look deeper to find that info. Which is here.

So technically it could be used as BT by itself but most manf would use it w/ one antenna to cut cost down. the TQM679002 is what switches the antenna for use of wifi/BT. It is also possible this chip needs a switching board as it might not actually be able to work w/out one.

Front-End Module

The Front-End Module (FEM) device carries a powerful PA which is used to provide WLAN output power gain. Additionally, a 3-way switch is located in the FEM device to enable antenna sharing among WLAN and Bluetooth, thus providing a single antenna solution supporting both WLAN and Bluetooth.

So unless they put in a power amp it does not really have a antenna. it needs the module board or some other type of module to handle this. Technically we are both right.
[Nook Color Android Development] EpicFail236:
As I am having serious range issues (more so than many others it seems), this is relevant to my interests. Is this controlled through the firmware, or is there any way we can manually switch this in the software? Nothing in the TI documentation for the chipset has told me anything.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
There is no feasable way to manually control the switch, as it needs to be actuated between each transmit/receive action by both radio functions. Nobody is that fast. ;)

The problem could also be due to lack of power, as noted above. Hopefully it's simply an antenna multiplexing issue, though, as that should be correctable in software.

Disable the menu and back soft keys in the status bar?

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere (perhaps on this thread), but I've tried searching for various combination of these keywords with no success. I just installed CM7 on SD card and LOVE it so far, and one of the things I did was remap the volume keys to BACK and MENU, so I'd prefer to remove the soft keys from the status bar now. I can't seem to figure out how to do that, though, or even if it's possible. Anyone have a pointer?
[Nook Color Android Development] tominabox1:
its hard coded in the source. you can get it to turn off if you change the dpi enough, i've done it once on accident.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Okay, thanks. Yeah, I'm using 240 DPI right now and don't really want to go any higher. They're still there but not really an issue. If I could remove them through configuration, that'd be wonderful, but since I can't, no biggie.
[Nook Color Android Development] tominabox1:
240 on your nook?! thats like a droid scaled up to 7 inches.... gross graphics
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Heh. Yeah, I've gone back and forth between 180, 200, and 240. I may well gravitate back toward a tighter resolution because, as you point out, it basically makes it look like a big handset!
[Nook Color Android Development] comdei:
techically no

A nightly build is a neutral build that takes place automatically. Its basically set to build every night with whatever they have done.

Thats why nightlys can introduce more bugs and such.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
On my stowaway keyboard, I typed a 4 digit code of my choosing on the keyboard first (I used 1111) and then you type the same code into the pop up on the nook (1111) and say OK and they paired up just fine. YMMV.

HTC Aria CM6 -> Nook Color CM7

I was able to transfer files via bluetooth from my phone to the Nook, awesome...
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
I know, I helped a bit with the Novaports teardown. The TI "datasheet" (more like a sales brochure) shows a gross block diagram and leaves out the distinction between what's on chip and off-chip. Like you said, the optional PA, switch, and filters aren't part of the WL1271 but are part of the wireless module.

Until the teardown we didn't know if it existed at all or if only WiFi was connected to the antenna. Fortunately it's controlled automatically by the 1271 through a separate signal and doesn't require any software intervention from the host processor.
[Nook Color Android Development] starkruzr:
