Just tried formatSD... didn't do a thing... :-/ I want my 16 gigs!!! Lol

Sent from a sgs-V, running gingerbread
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
If u have another android phone throw it in there to format. I've used my g1 before.

Edit.... what about cwm? U should be able to do it there to. Anyways, don't stress. Its not gone for good.
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Use the program SDFormat v3 and make sure to click options : Format size adjustment : ON . This has worked for me when a nook image SD or partition was gooked up. Also, use an external card reader/writer. Doing image burn or format on the PC's built-in SD card slot usually does not work well.

Good luck
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Why the suggestion to ensure cylinder boundaries (i.e. "size adjustment on")? AFAIK, only a few out-of-spec cameras require this...I've certainly never seen this on the Nook. (Could be that I got lucky and all my SanDisks happen to have even boundaries on their own, but seems a bit unlikely.)

How many people here are flashing the nightlies without flashing dalingrin's OC kernel? I've been flashing it since I bought the NC about a week ago, but I'm curious to know how the nightlies are without flashing that kernel. Sure, I can just NOT flash the kernel, just curious about people's opinions without the kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Is there any way to go back to loading status bar messages from top down?

If you let market do a lot of updates before popping up status bar... you lose the clear button ever since the change from loading bottom to top was made in the nightlies... the only way to clear them at that point is to reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
If you go into tablet tweaks from cyanogen settings, uncheck bottom status bar and notifications move from top down.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
I think he means the messages/notifications from the top down, not the status bar..
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Use it all the time to recover SD boot cards created by image burn. Nothing to do with cameras in this case. Using SDformatter with Format size adjustment : ON will ignor any partitions like your 140mb boot partitions and create one contiguous Fat32 partition using all of your SD card. If you don't do it that way, your 16gb SD card will look like a 140mb SD card when you format it after you put a boot image on it. Try it, you'll like it.

"Under the Format Type dropdown menu is a second menu called “format size adjustment” that asks if you want to try to increase the amount of space on your SD card or not. Turning this option on will allow you to use the maximum space possible on your SD card. Once you have made your selection, click OK.."

See this link for more details and those of you that have never done this before, please try something or do more research before you comment on advice.

WiFi Icon

After the latest build (118) I can be connected to WiFi and the WiFi icon never changes to show signal strength (green) it always stays white.
[Nook Color Android Development] frankusb:
Can you slide them off screen? Swipe to the side and individual notifications can be removed.

Frank
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
But moving the tweak from bottom to top also moves notification bar to the top down. Although I just check and the swiping to the side works also.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
I know exactly what the option does - it allows for partial cylinders to be made part of the FAT32 partition instead of being forced to align on cylinder boundaries. My point was this option does not appear to be necessary on the NC, regardless of reports to the contrary...in fact, a full format/wipe isn't necessary either. All of the defaults can be taken and things will "just work" if your desire is to go back to having the SDcard appear "new" (unless you're crazy paranoid about anyone recovering your 'old' data).

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] bdubs4200:
Then I really don't understand why my nook wont see it... I put it in my nook tried formatSD app, did nothing, "then went to wipe SD in storage settings, nothing, In recovery, tried mount SD, nothing... I'm outta idea. Its a brand new SD card... :-/

Sent from a sgs-V, running gingerbread
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
And brand new things are not subject to failure? Sadly, at this point, all signs point to a busted card; since it is new, just exchange it for another.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Going back and re-reading your thread...use SDFormatter to do a full erase. Sounds like you have some sort of boot block or somesuch somewhere that's mucking things up, though to be honest I really didn't think there was one on the Nook.

Bear in mind a full erase will take a _VERY LONG TIME_ (read: at *least* an entire night), but it's guaranteed to return it to a factory state.

If you have access to a Linux box, it's much easier - just dd overwrite the block device (NOT the partition!) with a source of /dev/zero, then format under Windows.

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Thanks, I'll try that, but.... in earlier versions, even with Bottom Status Bar and Notifications, it would load the events from top to bottom order... so the clear button would be available... when the loading order changed is when this started... not the tablet tweeks.

lost wifi

I just lost any kind of wifi connectivity since upgrading from n117 to n118 (both done today!)...No networks are seen at all...

It might also have to do with the fact that I tethered my NC to my phone today, maybe...I never did this before with CM7 installed.

I've reinstalled n117 and n118 several times with cache and dalvik wipes...any suggestion please before a total wipe, which is always a bore? Thanks...
[Nook Color Android Development] mtutick:
I haven't updated nightlies in awhile so I'm not sure this still works, but can't you just swipe the notifications off the screen instead of rebooting?

*EDIT* I see this was already covered, I accidentally skipped over a page of replies.
[Nook Color Android Development] lifeisfun:
Is there way to save attachment in Gmail ?

Save attach doesn't work like it did in froyo :(

Thanks

Update:

Download all files app from Market is working great.
[Nook Color Android Development] gudism:
i had that problem a few nightlies ago, and just reflashed GAPPS and everything came back.

Worth a shot
[Nook Color Android Development] fntms:
Thanks, but didn't work out, had to wipe and reinstall everything, wifi back to normal...ouch...should have backed up!
[Nook Color Android Development] quepaso:
I have a 16 gig in my Nook Color, works perfect. I run CM7 from EMMC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Leimi:
Hi guys,

Currently on a Froyo ROM, I wanted to try out CM7 by flashing the nightly 115 but things didn't go as I expected :P

I booted in CWM, wiped system, data, cache, flashed CM7, flashed the google apps and rebooted.

The green cyanogenmod logo appeared and.. black screen. And that's all. The screen is on, but totally black.

I tried to go back into recovery, but the screen is also totally black there :/

So voila, the only thing I can do on my Nook from now on is looking at the green logo. What do you advise me to do ? I don't really know what I did wrong...

Should I try to reinstall a bootable SD recovery image and start from the beginning ?

Thanks :)
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
Sounds like you may have an old version of CW recovery. There was a kernel change awhile back on Gingerbread. The new version of CWR is compatible with new kernel as well as Froyo builds. Refresh your recovery image by flashing image from SD card, wipe, then reinstall your ROM. More info on CWR SD: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13283643&postcount=34
[Nook Color Android Development] rroginela:
Next time try forgetting all your saved networks and see if it starts working. This used to happen alot to me and that always did the trick.
[Nook Color Android Development] Leimi:
Thanks, I'll try that and let you know if I'm in trouble again ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] Character Zero:
I am trying to build the CM7 for the Nook from source. I having having issues with getting the files. I do a "repo sync" but it errors on trying to get the lge_thunderg files. It seems it has a "master" branch but not a "gingerbread" branch but yet pulling from gingerbread it trys to pull this.

Here is my repo set up

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

repo sync

And I get and error about pulling from the gingerbread revision and the lge_thunderg device is not part of it. Can anyone help me?

This is the output when it fails

Syncing work tree: 18% (48/266) error: revision gingerbread in CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_thunderg not found

Can I skip over that device? I am left with only 47 folders loaded and then it errors out.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
BTW it's usually faster if you try

repo sync -j16

Is this a problem you've had for a while? Something might be wrong/out of sync w/the repo... i'd try again in an hour or so. If this is a problem you've had for a while, it may be that the manifest file for the repo is screwed up...

As far as having a "master" but not "gingerbread" branch for the individual git repositories, you'll find this is the case for all of them. It seems like you'er doing it right, but double-check these instructions and maybe try again. W/-j16 it will go faster.
[Nook Color Android Development] Character Zero:
This was my first shot at building. I got it to work by commenting out the thunderg line from the manifest.xml.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
It's best to use reposync (no space). It will set the max number of jobs without creating a bottleneck. No need to use -j#

Wooot, Nightly 121 fixed Widget Locker losing widgets at reboot. I've rebooted several times with 6 or so widgets there, no problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Can someone try something for me? I was experimenting a bit with having the NC turn off Wifi at screen off (which doesn't seem to work for me, but that's another subject) and noticed something weird.

Turn off anything which turns off Wifi at screen off. Setting Profile Lite, wifi settings, etc... So wifi stays on all the time.

Ping the NC forever.. 1/s is fine, don't need to ping flood it. Turn off the screen. Turn it back on.

For me, it takes a LONG time for it to come back on, or it never comes back on. Are you seeing the same?

Kill the pings. Does your NC screen immediately come back on? Turn screen off, back on? Still work immediately? Pings still make it not come on?

I can reproduce this 100%. It's pretty odd, never noticed it before, and I've fiddled with this sort in the past.

Just updated to Nightly 121.
[Nook Color Android Development] TheSapient:
I've been running 7.0.3 RC1 since around the time it was released without problems. Last night, I could not hold a WiFi signal. TOday, that problem remains, but I also get constant device lockups. I've managed to get the latest nightly flashed, but the problems remain.

I didn't install any new software yesterday, nor did I change any settings. I'm at a loss.
[Nook Color Android Development] JT75:
Is deep sleep broken for anyone else? Had been working great on 114 on emmc

Flashed 118 and 120 now no deep sleep. Any suggestions?

*Edit my son was playing cut the rope until the battery died after I recharged and reset cpu spy it deep slept all day today weird :\
[Nook Color Android Development] woot1524:
Just run "fix permissions" within rom manager or clockwork and hard reboot (hold power button till the nook turns off). That should fix it.
[Nook Color Android Development] fntms:
With n118, after a while, I lost the ability to connect or even "see" any wifi network. Updated to n121, same problem, seems I have to wipe again :-(
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
What happens when you press and hold known ones and choose to forget them? Do they show up again, allowing you to connect?
[Nook Color Android Development] fntms:
Nope, it doesn't scan anymore...

Edit: I deleted a known network (still no scanning) and then added it manually, and it started scanning again...I had to reboot to get a stable connect.
[Nook Color Android Development] Droidish:
I have the same exact problem. Trying the posted solution... Will report back.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Long press the power button, 8-10 seconds the nook will power off.

Press the power button for 2-4 seconds, press the N button and hold it

you should see the Green banner and and something like "loading"...

Get into recovery

Were you already on the 1.2 bootloader? If not load the new boot loader

or ---

Load the 63011 kernel

and reboot you should be good to go,
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
Was running n107 & 6/18 OC kernel & it was very stable .

Yesterday, wiped all & flashed the RC1 release + 6/30 kernel.

Noticed this morning that after I powered my NC down for the night & connected it to the wall charger to get fully charged before I run the battery calibration, it had been on all night. I've seen this a few times before also.

What is causing it it to boot itself up after I've turned it off? I'm sure it WAS powered down, as I checked it after I connected it to the charger to make sure it didn't boot up again before going to bed.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
They always do that... you can connect to charger... hold power button and select power off from menu... then it will stay turned off while charging.
[Nook Color Android Development] christoophat:
really? I swear I've connected it up many times before & have never found it on the next morning. I guess I'll do it this way from now on - connect it while running , then power it down.

Thank you!
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
This commit is pretty bad ass. Built-in screenshot app coming to CM7.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
What DizzyDen said is how its worked for me. Must connect first, then power off. If I power off, then connect, it turns itself back on.
[Nook Color Android Development] boxcar8028:
yeah, and what do you think this is all about....

"Also handle usb_connected (like usb_configuration) states coming up from the USB driver in the kernel (e.g. Samsung SGS2), that also notify the framework that UMS is available"
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
My guess is that it deals with the way the SGS II handles usb mounting.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
They seem to just be using the the SGS2 as an example, this might have to do with what Dalingrin was talking about, with the automatic mounting of usb mass storage(UMS) devices coming to CM7...

To be sure, someone more versed will have to comment on the matter... here is the relevant code..
[Nook Color Android Development] lrs421:
Hey gang, getting ready to install CM7 on a relatives nook color and have a question. She has a newer one and I didn't want go to the trouble of repartioning it as 5GB of media isn't enough anyway. I'm double checking that I can pop in a 32GB micro sd card after installing CM7, the micro SD card will be home for the media. Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
You wont have any problem with a 32GB micro SD card, although as far as I know, that's the limit.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
That commit is strictly for the SGS 2 at this point. It is to allow the phone share mass storage with the computer it is connected to. We already have this functionality because our kernel handles it differently. The commit I made is just to make a default mount point for USB drives connected to the Nook's micro USB port. In turn, my Nook Tweaks app will display a notification, once a volume is mounted, which will act as a shortcut to safely unmount.
[Nook Color Android Development] lrs421:
Thanks. Maybe you can help me with Google apps. When I install from zip it installs ok but when I reboot nothing is there. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Thanks for clarifying!

Maybe you have a bad zip... try downloading and installing gapps from the Rom Manger included in CM7. Google apps are under "download rom" option.
[Nook Color Android Development] lrs421:
Trying that now...Just for clarification when am I suppossed to remove the sd card? When I leave it in it keeps trying to boot into recovery.

I apologize for the questions....You would think I've never installed a Rom before. I swear these devices have their own little caveats, thanks any how...
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
It sounds like you are using a bootable SD card, for this purpose, you either want to reformat the SD card or use a different "non-bootable" SD card to flash gapps. Yeah, the Nook is a very unique device, with the whole, bootable SD card and emmc thing, takes a bit to get used to...
[Nook Color Android Development] lrs421:
Yup, and gapps is installed. Now I just have to teach my mother in law how to use CM7 :( Wish me luck...

You've been awesome dude! Your thanks button got a lot of love from me.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Good luck :D

Now I'm off to trade in all my thanks for some pizza rolls

If anyone wants a pizza roll, email me and I'll put one in the mail for you!
[Nook Color Android Development] lrs421:
One last thing, and then I'm off to enjoy my Coronas...I tried searching before I asked yet another question but the lock screen doesn't appear to be enabling in CM7.1.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Tablet tweaks>Disable lockscreen

Make sure to checkout all the options in there, there is some really cool stuff!
[Nook Color Android Development] lrs421:
Yeah, I just found it a second ago. Maybe I've already had too many coronas...:mad:
[Nook Color Android Development] jermaine151:
Hello people. I've had my nook color for a couple of days and can't believe how late I am to the party! This thing + CM7 is the sh1t! Learning about a lot of the tweaks from this thread. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] glfngmble:
[Q] how do you disable the "quick connect" bar inside the notifications area?
[Nook Color Android Development] AReynante:
Just wanted to drop in, to anyone who was on nightly-117 or 121, were you getting any SD/PMD? I would get it regardless of which clock setting I was on. I usually OC to 1.1, but I went back to stock and still had the issue. Just flashed 124, so I'll see how it goes.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I am on nightly 122, OC 06/30, CPU Stepping 5 set to 1.2 and CPU settings Max CPU frequency sat to 1.2 also. Both set on boot. I heard the GPU likes 1.2 better than 1.1.

I have MN rooted stock 1.2 on my emmc. I took it all the way down several weeks back. I then did the same thing with whatever I was running on sdcard. Have not had SOD/PMD that I have noticed. I use VG sdcard for nightlies and Rack's sdcard for phiremod v7 TEST.
[Nook Color Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
just putting this out there i dont know if anyone else noticed it but in the newer nightlys when you switch themes the notification bar restarts now automatically whenever you switch to a new theme no more having to reboot or use notification restart for you notification widgets to take effect :D
[Nook Color Android Development] gudism:
yep on 117 and still getting PBD.

though I had my first SOD for a long while last night.

about to flash to 124 myself but at work..
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
No PBD here, never had it.

SOD I get if wifi is left enabled. I have Tasker disabling WiFi at screen off (after 5 seconds, for heuristics, in case I didn't mean to turn it off etc) and haven't had a single SOD in about two weeks since doing this.
[Nook Color Android Development] Deaks2:
No SOD's here, however, once when I plugged in the charger the nook rebooted on its own. It has not repeated that behavior since.

PBD in my case is anywhere between 10-4% battery left.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Frankly, at percentages that low, its not PBD anymore, and simply inaccurate readings.

No offense, but people are going overboard on calling things PBD. PBD is where the battery was dying with 30-50% left. <10% is just calibration error, and isn't surprising.
[Nook Color Android Development] Phatdawg:
FYI, next nightly (if you haven't updated since 7.1 rc), looks like it has quite a few updates since last and there is an encore specific update coming up tommorrow.

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

I am going to be updating this to this nightly.
[Nook Color Android Development] mlovesu:
i have lost superuser access..as result i m unable to use apps like chainfire3d, tiatanium backup, root explorer etc...how ever i m able to use nook tweaks...

is there any way i can re access my superuser.... i m running cm7.1 rc1 & Dals 30/6 OC Kernel on 8gb sd card....plz help
[Nook Color Android Development] timothydonohue:
i had that issue on cm7 on my evo. go to the website that makes superuser, download their flashable zip, and flash it. that's the only advice i can offer that may be of help.
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
Sorry I am totally blanking here, my friend is putting this on his Nook, I forget why the G Apps after flashing wont work, and no google account shows under his accounts list.

I remember having this problem and cant remember for the life of me how to fix it.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Make sure you are flashing gapps from the internal clockwork recovery and not from a bootable SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
Good catch, he is using the SD card, I'll confirm and update you, thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] mlovesu:
how do i flash it .....i m using cm7.1 rc1 on sd ....i installed it using VG's installer......
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
That's not correct. PBD is the proper label for any shutdown that is not "graceful," and occurs at percentages greater than 0-1%. Mine occurs consistently between 10-12%, and has never been graceful since changing to the .32 builds. The fact that it is slightly better than before is nice, but it's still PBD.

I can wait for a proper fix. The rest of the .32 benefits outweigh the small inconvenience of the PBD at 10%.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
I assume you are asking how to install gapps?

All you need to do is put the gapps zip on the boot partition of your sd card, if you put the sd card into your computer that will be the partition that comes ups, just put the zip right in the root of the partition and then put it back in your Nook and boot it up and VG's boot script will automatically flash the zip and then delete the zip and you'll have gapps.
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
Well that did the trick, thank you good sir.
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Automatic USB memory mounting in B126! Yes! Works perfect.
[Nook Color Android Development] Phatdawg:
I've noticed two things with SOD.

First, I tend to have them more if I OC or using dalgrins kernel(can't tell which).

Second, it happens when I leave the nook idle for greater than a couple hours.

At work, I am constantly looking up stuff on the nook almost every 30 min to an hour, but if I leave it alone for a while, I'll notice it won't come up out of sleep. Generally speaking this happens almost every single time when I have not touched my nook for a couple hours for whatever reason.

I have not gotten any PBD yet.
