Hard-shutdown the nook color (shut down from the power menu, NOT REBOOT) and turn it back on. Failing that, hold power until the nook shuts off and turn it back on.

You'll be able to enable bluetooth
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Starting to think moving the GPIO enable setup to the kernel was a bad idea. It was in u-boot but disabled by B&N. It should work just as well in the kernel. I'll have to take look at it because this is obviously a wide spread problem.

I also flashed back to 32. I probably should have reloaded gapps myself to try it. When I loaded it my market would always FC and the menu at the bottom was different - Settings wasn't there but you had to go to another option to get it. Everything else seemed to work fine but the non-working market had me switch back

Yes I am having the same problem. I know earlier builds did work build 17. But since 30 BT has not worked for me.

I have not tried shutting down from the menu, I usually did a hard shutdown, since that was the only way I could get it to work in buil 17.

[Nook Color Android Development] :
Have you run "Fix Permissions" from ROM Manager. If not, run that and then do a hard reboot. Should fix the problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] woot1524:
Reboot into CWM, then go to the advanced menu --> fix permisions. reboot. That should fix it, it did for me anyways when hard rebooting didn't do the trick.

CM7 USB Storage sdcard

I opened a thread in the Nook General forum but no one has answer yet. Seeing my question is re: CM7 I thought I would ask it here.

Does anyone know how to make CM7 always mount both emmc and the 4th sdcard partition when you use the "Turn on USB storage" option that comes up when you plug the Nook into the computer.

Has anyone else noticed video SCALING issues?

It seems RC4 has issues scaling video that BN21 stock did not have. I also noticed this in NF.68. I have a 720x480 h264 clip that plays full speed under all 3 OSes. Under BN21 its beautiful with no visible problems at all. Under NF and CM7rc4, there is ringing around high contrast areas that look like jagginess. This is NOT compression artifacts; its definately scaling artifacts. Anyone else notice this?
[Nook Color Android Development] violinbf:
I have problems with video playback. "There was a problem playing this video" message pops up and vids crash frequently when using hw decode

I also have video problems under 33. My 720x480 h264 videos have sync issues. The audio runs full speed and the video lags behind. If I press pause it will take several seconds before the video catches up to the audio and pauses. I am playing the on rockplayer and the same videos played fine in eclair. Any idea why this might be happening?
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
In Terminal Emulator, and I suppose other apps, the status bar gets hidden/removed. Can you get the status bar back without other software? It makes it somewhat tough to get to settings.

Homer

UPDATE: I found out, by running SoftKeys like I used to on Froyo, that Terminal Emulator settings has a toggle for status bar. I set it to show. I suppose I can now remove SoftKeys. Seems like there should be a better solution...

Wow, Vitalplayer Neon fixed it! Is our hardware that sensitive to the programs? Seems like a lot of people have good success with Rockplayer, but I did not. I am just curious why the diversity of experience. . .

Just moved to cm7 nightly 33 from nookie froyo last night. All is well except a couple of apps, local TV WCVB (Boston) news and Technology Review, no longer show up as full screen - as they did in froyo. Instead they are now phone sized. I have reinstalled without luck.

Do I have to somehow spoof the nc in the market to download a fullscreen version?

Also Weather Bug Elite is force closing whereas it ran fine in froyo. Otherwise I'm liking CM7!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've now gone through the setup instructions step by step 4 or 5 times and my Nook will simply not boot unless I turn it on with the recovery SD card in it. All it does is sit there and just doesn't turn on at all after all the steps have been followed to the letter...

Was trying to go from Nookie Froyo EMMC to CM7...
[Nook Color Android Development] luciferii:
Are you formatting /boot when you try to install? Cuz yer not supposta! Try using cwm to flash the nook color stock/original unrooted rom then try to flash cm7 again.. thats what i had to do on my friends nook to restore the /boot

Sent via Tehduck Uberdistro Encore RC4 n.33/Tapatalk Pro
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
That is because something is incompatible in your videos. VitalPlayer Neon can play in software when needed and doesn't get out of sync. That isn't hardware accelerated if the videos were out of sync in another player (like the stock player or rockplayer). You should look into why that is.

If it doesn't play in the stock player at all, it's not hardware accelerated.
[Nook Color Android Development] e-motion:
I will try this once I get the original stock downloaded and let you know if that fixed it. Thanks for the helpful post.
[Nook Color Android Development] e-motion:
I downloaded the stock recovery .zip and it won't let me install it, CWM says "installation aborted". Am I supposed to use an older CWM version for the stock recovery ?
[Nook Color Android Development] GrillMouster:
I've had the same problem with all ROMs I've tried. I've gone back to unrooted stock more than once, double-checking MD5, trying separate downloads, etc. I have to hold down the power button for 20 seconds or so. I do this multiple times before it finally starts booting. When I was running Froyo I'd just finally decided not to turn the device off; just put it to sleep. The nook color could be in sleep mode all day and still be at 99% power. However, because CM7 disabled deep sleep to avoid the SOD (sleep of death) problem, the battery drains a lot more when it's asleep.

If you're using the version of CWM on sd that you used to flash CM7, then it's probably only compatible with ext4. Stock nook won't work with that. You can either use an older version of CWM or follow the instruction on the thread below to create a bootable CWM 3.0.1.0 sd that is compatible with both ext3 and ext4 ROMs.

I've been running rc4 off a sdcard using the size-agnostic version listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

I wouldn't say it's rock-solid. There are some quirks, but all of a sudden, wifi will not work at all.

I was connecting to a network, and then switched to another one by manually adding another network and now no new networks will show, nor will the existing remembered ones have a network signal icon/encryption icon. I've tried to manually scan and nothing.

I thought weird, I'll reboot and it'll fix itself, but it's surviving reboots/cold starts. I took out the sdcard and booted nook 2.1 rooted and the wifi works fine.

It may be something weird with the sdcard version, but was curious if there's a known wifi issue that's persistent over reboots.

Edit: I had to remove all remembered networks. Wifi is working again, however that's kind of annoying plugging in the keys again.

For Weatherbug Elite, do this:

1. Using Titanium Backup, wipe data and uninstall Weatherbug

2. Re-install, but make sure the "Use location" option is NOT checked during first run.

3. Manually configure your location in the Weatherbug settings

That should do it for ya...

So unless they get the sleep of death worked out properly, will this ever actually get to a "stable" build?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Technically, CM7 has no SOD bug; if CM7 gives you such an issue, you have a problem. Now, what its happening, is that our build is not going into as deep a sleep as froyo and eclair, and thus we have slightly worse battery life..

Because the nook is not allowed to sleep at all in CM7.

[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
As of now it looks like we'll do a stable build with the current feature set and bug list. Effort has shifted to a 2.6.32 kernel for the Nook Color. Our current 2.6.32 port fixes the SOD seen in gingerbread but it has plenty of work left to get it polished.

The 2.6.32 kernel is such a big jump that I think it would be worth releasing a stable build with 2.6.29 and leaving 2.6.32 for CM7.1+

I had the exact same setup and had the same problem. After trying different things I discovered that I have the same problem on my htc desire hd with stock froyo when connected to wifi. My solution it to try again tomorrow. It seems to be a google problem in some areas.
[Nook Color Android Development] jdmarko:
I have similar good luck with the battery. I use SetCPU with no profiles, and have it set to ondemand with min 300 and max 925 (or 1.1 GHz if I'm trying the overclock -- similar results). The real trick I think is that the battery history shows that the Nook is trying to use a lot of processing time in "Phone idle", (according to the Usage history with the app "BatteryLeft").

To fix this, I use RootExplorer, go into /system/app, mount the file system read-write (handy button at the top of the screen), then I rename three files in this /system/app directory:

Mms.apk

TelephonyProvider.apk,

Phone.apk

You can rename them to anything... I just rename them to mms.OLD, for example. You can likely delete them as well. You'll have to do this after you flash each nightly because the flash will recreate each of those original APKs.

Then reboot, and voila.... wonderfully improved battery life!

Note that after you rename Phone.apk, the nook will initially freak out with repeated error messages about Phone.apk. This goes away after the first reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] lyam23:
Huh. How about that. My phone is not authenticating to google services when on wifi either. Market downloads fail (albeit in a different way than they fail on th NC) on wifi currently. I guess that must be it. That's frustrating.

[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
Removing the phone services have not effect on battery life. once you remove the phone services the power usage will be replaced by i believe is a process called "android system" There has been many tests done and the general conclusion is there is no effect. I tried it myself and saw no benefit, no radical increase in battery life just a redistribution.

Make sure you read the whole thread then draw your own conclusions.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
If you use your NC for an hour per day day, you might, under optimal conditions, hope to approach 10 days of battery life. Don't hold your breath.

And it's not a big deal. I really don't have a problem with letting my electronic devices charge while I'm asleep. /shrug/

You dont care thats fine. Why do you think you need to force your opinion on the rest of us? Going from a week+ to a day to 2 is a big deal to a lot of people.

[Nook Color Android Development] notinterested:
This nonsense was disproven long ago. Deleting/renaming those apk files does nothing.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
From a user perspective, nothing. I know a lot of people think having 2.6.29 is a major disadvantage for us but in reality the only problem its causing is the sleep issue. The sleep issue is likely a bug in our kernel not related to the kernel version. I just haven't been able to track it down. There are bugs in the kernel source that are not apparent in Barnes and Noble's binary kernel. I have a feeling we were given source that is older than what Barnes and Noble used.

All the other issues with our dated kernel have been fixed through backports or just outright fixing bugs. Our primary goal with 2.6.32 isn't new features or changes that can be seen by a user. The primary goal is to have a kernel that is based upon some maintained source that can be more easily be upgraded in the future without being tethered to Barnes and Noble for updates.

All he did was state his opinion as have you.

Given the number of hours I've spent trying to fix the SOD bug that our kernel has with Gingerbread, I am painfully aware of the problem. His opinion happens to be my justification for why a "stable" release can be made with the current SOD workaround.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Well one thing not mentioned about SOD issue is the following.

If my battery on stdby gets me a weeks use and stvy combined versus 28-36 hours. I am recharging the device 4-5x as often which means the usable lifesan of the battery is gratly shortened.

Throw in an OC kernel and instead of havin 1-2 years before battery life really suffers in might be 4-6 months.

So yes people care for that rson and also for the reason that while trvelling, daily charging is not so convenient.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Bring a charger with. Get a car charger. Anything with micro USB charges the nook. I have no problem letting this charge as I sleep. If you really have that large of an issue, please learn kernel development and fix it yourself.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Stock rooted doesn't have features. I get about 5 hours out of mine, but I watch a lot of video on it "testing".

You get 21 hours of use and 147 hours of standby per charge on stock?

Me thinks you may be exaggerating just a wee bit.
[Nook Color Android Development] notinterested:
Me thinks you should spend more time with the stock rom. Reading and light web browsing it manages just like i said.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I charge the Nook half as often as I charge my phone. I'm not terribly worried about long term battery longevity.

Either way...this discussion is moot. SOD is my top priority right now and has been since semi-fixing video, regardless of anyone's opinion on it's importance.
[Nook Color Android Development] evilPERSOn2009:
+1 My thoughts exactly.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Any plans to roll tun into the CM7 kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
If thats your answer you misunderstand my post.

A rechargeable battery only has so many charges in ti and eventually it holds less and less charge each time it is fully charged.

Often it is on the order of 300 charging cycles or so.

So if you need to charge it every day instead of 1-2x/ week your nook color will have a much shorter useable lifespan before you have to throw it out since it has a non user replaceable battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
So if I may ask, the upcoming B&N update which is supposed to bring it to 2.2 android should by all accounts have the 2.6.32 kernel right?

If so, will this be able to be ported to CM7 or HC? maybe fix all the issues you have been working so hard to bypass the shortcomings of the older 2.6.29 kernel?
