HELP!!!

Ok I'm runing HC on my NC but tired of the lag and lack of function, FC's etc. So I decided to try this rom. Problem is the OP states will only work with CWM 3.0.1.0. I have looked everywhere for that version to make my SD bootable but all I can find is 1 that burns 3.0.0.6, Am I missing something? Where can I find this image file... LOL

Thanks, Don

In the directions posted there, namely the first step http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11447175&postcount=1 you will find the bootabe SD recovery.

[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
I did the same thing...moved from HC to CM7 just because dev work on HC has stalled (rightfully so).

Anyway, I am using the 3.0.0.6 bootable SD card for CWR without any issue (at least none that I can tell). It does not appear the bootable SD is being updated in parallel to CWR.

Again, just from my experience, not a show-stopper and you should be able to trudge ahead with getting CM7 on your NC. Good luck.

Lovely work...

Just ran a Daily Show in HD from my TiVo through Handbrake and dropped it on the device. Lovely...

Great work.
[Nook Color Android Development] evopanop:
Re:HELP!!!

Thanks so much for the quick response. I red that post you both refer to and downloaded that file, however when I boot from the SD the CWM version is 3.0.0.6 and the OP said only use 3.0.1.0. Therin lies my confusion.

Thanks, Don
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
So I am getting mixed results from video playback. I think I may have converted some files wrong or need to make them again.

.avi file at 1.3~ GB wont play, unless through moboplayer using softdecode

2 .mp4 files @ ~400-500 MB each, wont play unless using soft decode

All my old cell phone files (.3gp or whatever that file type is) play fine with out stutter using the built in player

Youtube works great

So this leads me to believe everything is properly there, I just need to format my movies or something else that I am missing.

I redownloaded and reflashed the ROM, wiped Dalvik/cache, did 2 hard reboots.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] djlim4:
I got my nook less than a week ago, tried all the ROMs available, was happy but almost felt like i made a mistake because the main reason I picked it up was to watch a few episodes of whatever or a movie in bed.

But since this dropped, i can sit through a show without wanting to pull my hair out due to the audio being out of sync.

Awesome

Thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] generalpelmen:
So is the video playback as good as in froyo?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Yes.

As i learned, for hardware decoding, you DO have to make sure it is in a format (and size) that can be decoded by the hardware. Many videos will still play fine in software, but for the full effect, i would suggest converting your favorite vids with handbrake and a pre-made nook config (in the general forum).
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Hardware Video Acceleration only works with:

- Players that are designed to use it

AND

- File formats that it was designed to decode.

All other formats will then fall back to Software Decoding. 800hz CPU is limited as to what it can decode, even 1.1 ghz is not enough for 720p (for example).

Core Codec specializes in software decoding for processors that are otherwise too slow, but I do not know whether they have an Android product yet.

BTW, the file size of the files is unimportant, the crucial factor is the bitrate. Beyond 2000 or 3000, you will probably need hardware acceleration.
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
I followed that guide for my first convert, and it wouldnt play. Testing it again with a new movie, and rechecking the settings. Will update.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Not sure about the guide.. i just found some good handbrake settings that somebody posted, and they worked flawlessly.. when i get home, ill see if i can find it again.

[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12076390

There are specific settings. If you are using handbrake, I have a config file. You have to set the width to 854 (it will auto adjust the height) then set the audio to down grade to stereo, then pick whatever kbps you like. I posted several test videos in different kbps so you can get an idea. I like the 1000kbps range.

And anything over 2000kbps at 854x480 is overkill IMHO. If your eyes are better than 2000kbps, then more power to you. haha
[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
I second that :) the screen with videos is so beautiful
[Nook Color Android Development] stinky634:
I used those settings, must have missed a step first time around.

It is working great now @ 600 kbps. Thanks all for the quick replies, and sorry for the thread clutter.

So is this a step closer for SS apps like Shootme, they appear to not be working still. Not trying to nag, or ahything of the sort, just wanted to post my result of trying it, still gets a blank SS.

Video on this, looks stunning, to say the least. GREAT work.
[Nook Color Android Development] qwho:
nevermind, i was trying to download the test build on my nook, for some reason it wouldn't, downloaded fine on my pc.
[Nook Color Android Development] rcmsmas:
Overclock Kernels won't allow video to play??

I tried to get the video test ROM to play videos several times, including wiping the caches, Dalviks then eventually a complete wipe/factory reset. As it turns out, the youtube video won't play with either Dalingrens or the madcat version OC kernel. The kernel that comes with the test build works though. How do you guys (and consequently I) get a 1100 clock speed with smooth video (Youtube) capability?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Works for me. I'm using the latest OC kernel (3/28?)

make sure you are using the CM7 version?
[Nook Color Android Development] rcmsmas:
I did use the CM& versions

As a matter of fact, I tried CM& madcat tweak and the new 3/29 Dalingren OC update. I'll try ti again just to make sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] scubageek01:
Is it me, or has the battery life has dramatically improved in CM7 nightly 32?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
Test ROM + 3/29 Kernel

Vevo runs full screen BEAUTIFULLY. You can't stress test better than that!

eeeeeek
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I'm using the new Dalingrin kernel with great success. Make sure you flashed the right version (the video test at the bottom of the first post of this thread) as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] J-ROCK:
If I put my governor on performance, my HQ youtube vid wont play only sound, but if I put it on intreractive it will play with a bit of lag.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Which CM7 did you flash ?
[Nook Color Android Development] rcmsmas:
CM7 issue

I flashed the 3/29 video test at the beginning of this thread and the two latest OC roms from Madcat and denigren

[Nook Color Android Development] MedLine:
I knew it wasn't just me. Starting with CM7 n31 I saw standby battery drain drop to ~1% per hour, compared to >2% per hour with prior nightlies. This is with wifi set to sleep with screen off, 1.1Ghz overclock, interactive governor, and stock email client set to push with Exchange.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Where is there a governor setting called "interactive" ?
[Nook Color Android Development] J-ROCK:
The video test build that was released today, with the latest kernel as well
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Gets there when kernel with it is installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] jerrygon:
Where is this 3/29 kernel everyone is talking about? All I see is the 3/28 one.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
That's it. 3/29 is the video test build date.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Dalingrin - i just saw this commit:

[Nook Color Android Development] infinityPlusOne:
Video works NICE!

Sweet! Thank you so much for getting DSP for video working. It was the only reason I kept Eclair on my NC for so long. I tried the stock CM7 movies app and it played a "handbraked for NookColor" mp4 of The Wire season 1 perfectly. No sync issues at all. Also tried out the YouTube app and that seems to work very nicely as well.

Way to go! I'm glad I follow you on Twitter.

Cheers,

iPO
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
Has anyone else noticed that video is now smoother with the internal speaker than with BT A2DP? For me at least i have video streaming beautifully UNLESS I try the headset, then the video stutters in sync with the headset audio stuttering (i.e. when the headset moves out of BT range).
[Nook Color Android Development] animatechnica:
same experience here -

also wifi acting funky, cuts out intermittently
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I am having trouble with bluetooth in the nightly build. I have to fix permissions and hardboot several times a day.

Also on the buffer size front, I can't even play an. Mp3 without it cutting out and stuttering several times a minute.

Also, not just with the video release of cm7, but also the nightlies, the bluetooth issues of it repeating are worst when the wireless is on. It tends to auto repeat and bring up the long press window for accents. If I turn it off while typing, it works much better. I have tried different frequencies on the wireless with no luck.

Thanks again for your work!
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
Yeah, I had Wifi cut out quite a few times during very heavy use last night..

Also had many complete lockups requiring a full reset.

Still its fantastic.

No more sound delay in Angry Birds either, so thats great.
[Nook Color Android Development] evilPERSOn2009:
Working great for me. Using the latest Kernal but only OCed to 1000hz. 1100 doesn't work yet, for me at least. I'm not sure if it is CPU dependent/capability or a minor bug could be address in future updates.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Working fine for many (myself included). Maybe your nook just can't take it?
[Nook Color Android Development] evilPERSOn2009:
^Went back to using Mad's Mod Daligrin 3/25 kernel and YouTube is working with HQ at 1100hz. Not quite as smooth as at 1000hz though.
[Nook Color Android Development] sinanju:
Still pretty happy

Having lived with it for a day, I haven't noticed WiFi issues.

The only issue I have is occasional audio clicks. Rarely during MP3 playback, for example, but frequently during app switching.
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
I can confirm on the occasional clicks when I play music too, both on stock and power AMP.
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
I cannot get flash to play smoothely. Youtube works great though. Should I be installed a certain flash apk? Or is 10.2 from the market supposed to work? Using the kernel that came with the test build
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Get the market one. Helped a lot with smooth playback before DSP was fixed, so I would imagine it would help now as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Same here. It seems interactive governor took care of the mp3 in the background shuttering though.
[Nook Color Android Development] nemir:
Wireless sometimes does not work and wifi icon still active.

I cannot activete Bluetooth ...

Latest Adobe Flash Player 10.2 sometimes does not work properly. Removing and reinstallin Adobe Flash solve the problem... But every time uninstall reinstall makes me angry...
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
I have never seen anyone adress this issue before:

Am I the only one who experiences freezing widgets? For example, the clock widget gets stuck or power toggles don't switch their on/off statuses any more.

It never seems to affect functionality (->touch actions), it just sucks when you're relying on your clock widget. Readding the widget always fixes it for a given time

It happens across ADW and SweeterHome, which makes me think it's a CM7 issue. I don't know about other Launchers

Recently, I even noticed the (status bar/)system clock freezing. It only updates when rotating the device.

(I'm not sure if this specific problem could be related to mad-murdoch's tablet tweaks, but I figured it would be safe to ask here first, since freezing widgets in general happened to me way before mad even showed up here.)
[Nook Color Android Development] aggie6600:
I have the same issues with the clock not updating on my Evo running CM7 with Launcher Pro and Beautiful widgets. I have not noticed the status bar clock not updating though.

In other words. I think it is a CM7 bug and not related to the tweaks in this rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
So I got this installed last night running from the SD card. But just like froyo I can't get exchange 2010 account setup. Anyone else have an issue with this? It never shows the message on first sync. At least now I can add the account without errors. Stock rooted it works fine.

Maybe something for the dev's to check. I can test builds with exchange 2010.
[Nook Color Android Development] Kendr1ck:
I'm using an Exchange 2010 account with no issues. Running the Video test build from the OP.
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
The OS is automatically closing the widget's background processes to free up memory, so widgets stop updating. You could try using autokiller or something similar to reduce the memory threshold for background processes. I don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing as you might screw things up even more.

The status bar not updating is another problem I've encountered in GB. Apparently the status bar is it's own process now and it gets killed occasionally, causing the clock to freeze.
[Nook Color Android Development] animatechnica:
on the wifi i had this problem initially and i noticed on my power control widget, airplane mode was on along with the wifi - after turning off airplane mode via the widget, i amd back to normal wifi connectivity - no disconnects

for bluetooth - go to rom manager, click on fix permissions then when you get to the part where it says press OK to reboot, hold down the power switch until the device turns off (note don't click on the windoe that pops up asking you if you want to turn off power)[

[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Does anyone know if the video fix made it into rc4? I can't tell by looking at the commits.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
i was under the impression it had not yet made it there....
[Nook Color Android Development] Mikey:

Supposedly YES!!! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Which commit?

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Well that sounds severely f'ed up. I was under the impression the NC had enough memory to keep its bloody homescreen going. Thanks for your input, I'll look into those memory threshold options some time. My HTC Wildfire is chronically short on memory (on everything tbh), so I already gathered at least some experience on that topic
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Really thats odd. I really wish it would work. I am the server admin and have checked on there but really nothing I could do that would affect it.

Hmmmmm head scratcher for sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalamchops:
maybe the sgx sdk?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I don't believe so, because the change was made to the audio buffer, not the GPU code..

For fun, i am flashing now, but i expect video and flash to be bhorked again.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalamchops:
i already flashed, youtube works perfect
[Nook Color Android Development] rohit275:
Works perfectly on the RC? If so, that's pretty awesome that they've already incorporated the features of the test build into a release candidate.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalamchops:
yup rc4, i don't think it'd have a reason to be upgraded to rc4 if they didn't already put in the fix for video
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I am totally baffled, but i guess the change got in somewhere - my hardware decoded videos are still smooth, with synced audio. Go figure...
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
settings bro settings.

EDIT: clarification is maybe in order

which kernel? What cpu settings? (gov/min/max)

what format resolution and feature settings did you encode it as?

Thanks a ton for your huge contributions! :)

Why Adhoc removed from CM7 post 3/16 and AdHoc Tether workaround

I'm only bring this back up as I needed AdHoc today and after unsuccessful trials using the methods of re-enabling I could find noted here and the cyanogen nook nitely thread I stepped back and reinstalled latest test nitely and used the proceedure I had used since getting my Nook in Nov... I now think I understand why I never had this problem and others did... in my trials I got things working but when Adhoc and Infra were both present with strong signals I was bouncing between the 2 and 'disconnected' pretty constantly... boy that was a pain so I see why folks wanted it disabled...

After going back to my simple proceedure from Dec. I can switch with no file changes and no manual configuration of networks using Adhoc as if it were Infra and if I didn't know which were which I couldn't easily tell the difference...

Use the attached file... (I've tested on stock 2.1, Froyo, HC4, and latest CM7 versions now...)... Ignore the .tar extension just added to allow it to upload here... copy the attached to your /sdcard and follow steps below... I tend to do this with Root Explorer but it translates to...

## depending on what version OS and SD or EMMC you need to mount /system R/W

## mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

# cd /system/bin

# cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.adhocfix.tar .

# cp wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant.org

# cp wpa_supplicant.adhocfix.tar wpa_supplicant

## Check original's Owner.Group and set all... For CM7

# chown root.shell wpa_sup*

# chmod 755 wpa_sup*

## Done...

With this I haven't had a disconnect all day and as I've been out a couple times it autoswitched to AdHoc when I left my Home Lan... I did need to manually switch back when I got home as both signals were present...

It's been a while since Dec. so I forgot where I actually got found that particular wpa_supplicant as I have a few I use on different devices... but I found them all when I had been searching for folks referencing this patch;

http://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/

And I just checked and it's identical binary to the wpa_supplicant.adhoc in the the zip from;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872521

just I never needed to run the shell scripts or switch files back and forth as works for both AdHoc and Infra without any changes in files or proceedure...

[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
i believe the audio buffer is where the problem was :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Right..... thats what i was saying. The only commit is to the GPU, not the audio portion, so i am still confused. I guess the fix could have gotten in,but i worry about the change log then....
[Nook Color Android Development] rogerdugans:
Just flashed RC4 and YouTube worked perfectly- no choppiness or audio sync problem.

Also I noticed someone having wifi/adhoc problems:

I just tested mine and had no problem switching TO adhoc or back to infrastructure.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
That was the reason of my confusion several posts ago. Dalingrin's fix (supposedly "correct" size of (audio) buffer) didn't make it to the nightlies, however, the (his) new SGX SDK did. Now I wonder whether Flash 10.2 may show HW acceleration on RC4 with supposedly better SGX code

Sure the full RC4 changelog would be a mile long, but looking for ALSA, DSP, DGX changes dated no earlier than a week ago may show something.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Yeah. There were a ton of changes to audio stuff in the last few days.

* Update to alsa-lib-1.0.24.1

* Update to alsa-utils-1.0.24.2

* Update to omapzoom's /hardware/alsa-sound p-gingerbread head

But the one you were all asking about...

* Dalingrin's fix to bufferSize & latency settings in /hardware/alsa-sound/alsa_default.cpp

This all has nothing to do with the SGX update, which has to do with the hardware acceleration of 2d graphics. There is actually another update from .01 to .02, which dalingrin said he'd submit when he got a chance. I wouldn't expect any special benefit from it, but hey, it's the newest :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Malk3rs:
I just flashed the RC with the 3/28 kernel and am loving it. I did notice one issue that I wonder if anyone else has seen or can duplicate. I was watching youtube and locked the screen, just to listen to the audio, and when I unlocked it the video was coming through the transparency of the lockscreen. It isn't really a problem just weird.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Thank you, it gets clearer now. 2D (UI, graphics/transitions) hardware acceleration is no small matter. Talking about HW assistance, can somebody notice the difference (if any) between Flash 10.2 on dalingrin's "video-fix" and RC4?
[Nook Color Android Development] Gin1212:
Not sure if this is the place to ask or comment about this. But, I've recently purchased a program called "Sleep as an droid" which helps measure your levels of sleep so that it can wake you up in the gentle-est way possible.

However, the second I do... The program forces my nook to become a paperweight, everything lags very badly and it's almost impossible to do anything while it's on.

If anyone has suggestions for a different program or maybe what to look for as how to fix this, I would really appreciate it.

I'm using Nightly 32 and the newest kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Yikes sounds like a "sleep of death variant" ...kidding.

Yes, you are correct this is not the place to ask this. lol.

However, "NC General" is great for these kind of questions. ;)

PS. If I had a app that did that i would delete it.. problem solved.

:)
[Nook Color Android Development] sassafras_:
That program uses your microphone to work. The nook has none. It probably locks your Nook up because it's spamming the OS to initialize the microphone.
