160 is terrible as a full time setup. It fixes market but then it formats your screen like a phone . All apps that would normally look awesome on a tablet are now oversized. My keyboard takes up most of the screen with 160 dpi. Nook apps library only shows a couple magazines on the library page before I have to start scrolling. I think it's just to awkward but I can always change it I guess after I install the Rom
[Nook Color Android Development] Sincitybronze:
Dalingrin or anyone else who might know, how much does CM7 for the Nook Color have in common with the SGS2? The only other device users I see complaining about the suspend and events/0 battery drain issues are SGS2 owners. Were any of the CM7 components built from SGS2 drivers, etc.?
[Nook Color Android Development] zequav:
Wait, you like your keyboard small? I'd say the normal behavior for the keyboard is to occupy half the screen in landscape and 1/3 in portrait. What's yours like? Screenshot?

The apps I've tried look much better at 160 than at 161 (when they aren't the same, ofc). Try Meganoid, for example. At anything other than 160 it's a mess of misaligned sprites. That's why I've been setting DPI 160 before flashing for as long as I remember.
[Nook Color Android Development] psychoace:
I would hate to have to reach across the whole screen just to type
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
I don't reckonize the keyboard but all in all I would say it looks fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Just a suggestion, maybe you need to backup the SDCard and reformat. or you just have a bad card that may need replacing.
[Nook Color Android Development] skwalas:
Jeez, you're one hard to please dude. Try thumb keyboard. Has a split layout and you can set key size regardless of dpi.

[Nook Color Android Development] dirtblade:
Has anyone tried 197 yet?
[Nook Color Android Development] psychoace:
Right because it's at 161. The picture I include in this post shows it at 160. Also I included landscape. I can easily switch back to 161 so it's not a problem but it can be very awkward at 160
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
197 - So far so good.
[Nook Color Android Development] jameshmiller:
Market at 160 is fine. You just have to clear data when "my apps" is blank.

My request would be to turn off wifi at screen off instead of wifi sleep at screen off . Maybe this could be put into "Nook Color Tweeks". You could label the switch "Stop SOD" with a disclaimer of course.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
There are many apps that do that already, I use "battery booster ", there is an option in there to turn wifi off with screen off and back on with screen on.
[Nook Color Android Development] Sincitybronze:
Looking forward to seeing how this change in 197 impacts wake lock problems:

[Nook Color Android Development] tannerzion:
They still haven't fixed the battery problem. Stupid nook says it is charging even after I unplug it.

Did they add webcam support to USB host?
[Nook Color Android Development] Xhorder:
Could be, but I don't think so.

I wiped system and data and installed nightly 140. restored and moved to the SD card about 200 apps. Absolutely no problems. system ran great.

updated to nightly 174 and after 10 minutes the app tray wouldn't show any of the SD located apps... eventually it started the spontaneous reboot problem.

I went back to 140 and now have over 400 apps on the SD card with no problem.

It seems pretty clear there's a problem, but apparently no one but me is crazy enough to install so many apps, so I fear it may never be fixed....

:(
[Nook Color Android Development] jalexishg:
WE ARE BACK BABY. !!!! Nightly #197 is up in rom manager !!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] psiphi:
I think the problem is not the number of apps on the sd card, but which ones are installed on the sd card (vs internal)... Also think some apps are just a problem with the new kernel...

I ran into issues myself with 177 where task bar would disappear and system would either freeZe or reboot, and rolled back to the last stable release to make sure that was the problem, and all was well... Plan to run a seperate sd card with latest build fresh restoring about 10 apps a day to see what happens....

One thought I had was my Sd card partition was too big to use default sector size and that might be issue, but doubt it...

Currently booting from 32 gig sandisk with 7.0.3
[Nook Color Android Development] Minjin:
Anyone having issues with the accelerometer and switching between landscape and portrait on the home screens? The tablet is perfectly fine when it first boots but if it has been sitting for awhile, when I go to turn it on, it'll ignore certain positions and not rotate the screen. There were no issues before I updated to 177. Yes, the setting says Auto/sensor.
[Nook Color Android Development] stolenmoment:
That was the first symptom of my cable going bad. The "plugged in" state (either way) was stuck from boot time.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
My adb stopped working in Linux about a week ago. That is it wont show the serial number. I didn't remember changing anything but figured I must have. I booted to windows last night and it is no longer working there either. I figure I must have changed something in the NC. USB debugging is checked. Anyone got ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] DeathsArrow:
When the problem occurs, is your device sleeping?

I ask this because mine only exhibits this issue if I unplug the cable when the device is sleeping. If I wake it before I unplug it, the issue does not happen.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
It still is working for me, but a few months back I had that problem and found that the ADBWireless app would always work, even when ADB over USB did not.

SiriusXm App 1.6.1

Is anyone having problems with the SiriusXM app since the new version came out a couple weeks ago? At the time I believe I was on CM7 Build #177. I just updated to CM7 Build #197 now that the nightlies are back, and I still have the same problem of being stuck at the "checking for updates" part when the Sirius app starts up.

All my other multimedia types apps (Pandora, Netflix, Youtube, etc.) work perfectly. In fact, the same SiriusXM app runs perfectly on my T-Mobile G2X phone, which is also running CM7.

Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] bled82:
My adb stopped working when i upgraded to cm7 nightly #197 . Anyone else have this issue ?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
What I have found works for me when this happens is to unhook nook from computer... dev settings... uncheck and recheck debugging mode... install drivers on computer again (no uninstall).. connect nook to computer again.
[Nook Color Android Development] akenis:
Had the same problem with the new sirrius app. Something in the release notes said the newer version need to customize content based on location. I gave up....
[Nook Color Android Development] akenis:
And I don't understand all the talk about LCD density and the market. I have never had any issues seeing all my apps in the market with default cm7 161.

Edit... guess I don't see movies.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Nope. But thanks anyways. Adb wireless does work I'm just disappointed becuae I have know idea.
[Nook Color Android Development] skwalas:
You will notice that there are a number of apps that are "missing" at 161, or if you don't have them already installed, they will show as incompatible when you find them in the market. I have 46 apps right now on my nook, and they all appear in the apps list when dpi is set at 160, but only 26 of them show up when dpi is set at 161. Attempting to find the other "missing" apps shows them as "installed", but also incompatible, meaning i would not be able to update them, or re-install them if i happened to uninstall them.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Make sure all four rotation targets are checked in Settings (i.e. 0, 90, 180, 270).

[Nook Color Android Development] Minjin:
That did it. It was missing the 0. Somehow that setting didn't transfer over when I updated to 177.

[Nook Color Android Development] greenzee:
I was mucking about the Status Bar tweaks section of the CM7 settings yesterday after installing nightly #199 and I unchecked "Battery Percentage". When I rechecked it, it came back, but with a friend. The cell signal strength icon. I don't know how to get rid of it now. I can change it from signal bars to signal text (it reads -1), but can't get it completely gone. What am I doing wrong?

Wow. The the 160 lcd density change fixed SwiftKey tablet x, keyboard for me. It displays all the keys in landscape mode now and made the keyboard bigger in portrait mode. The numbers also now appears in landscape mode along with finally functional space keys. This is how this keyboard was meant to be used.

So you could now get yourself a copy if you were holding off on purchasing SwiftKey due to these issues. The I am assuming that the keyboard relied on the current lcd density of screen to display properly. Before the change it displayed like SwiftKey x for phones; with same keys and a mangled landscape mode. Cheers to all.

Wireless off on boot

I searched as far back as May, and didn't see anything about this.

When I boot my Nook Color (running from a card) wireless is off. I believe this used to work but it has been broken so long I'm not sure if I'm misrememberating that. This is on recent nightlies, before and after the hiatus. Currently 09222011.

I asked in Q&A and was told this was a problem in recent nightlies. Any chance for a fix so on boot it respects the state of wireless before rebooting/shutting down? Or if nothing is planned, hey! Please fix it! :-)
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
From Terminal window

Type:

su

then copy and paste the following

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';
.exit

exit

exit

reboot and see if that fixes the problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] akenis:
Well I downloaded LCD density like people have been talking about. Not sure what to set for the reboot option, but now I can see movies in market.

But the my apps screen is all dorked up? Its like a split screen.....

And my calendar pad pro 4x1 widget won't scale to fit my screen with zeam launcher. I have workspace set to 6x8. Normally Zeal will ask and I tell it to try to fit the widget to 6x2.

So what's new in the 200 build. Is 160 resolution default?
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
Yep default dpi is 160.
[Nook Color Android Development] excarnate:
Someone on my original Q&A thread suggested Android Assistant, which showed airplane mode being on. Of course airplane mode was off in the Preferences.

This is something that shouldn't require a special program, or fancy database commands. I assume this is a bug and is on the list to fix? If not, why not?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
My understanding is if you set Airplane mode 1 time the Nook programming does not have the ability to unset Airplane mode, the scripting will prevent that from happening while you are on that particular build, it is a flaw, that has been around since the beginning, if you run the DB commands it will fix your problem.

You may do as you choose, this is a proven method to resolve your issue.

[Nook Color Android Development] excarnate:
I'm sorry, I have to disagree. This is a proven method to work-around a bug until the next time a build (nightly?) is flashed, and is by no means an excuse to leave a bug in the source. Not pointing my finger at you, certainly. I appreciate your excellent and clear instructions.

My question, which still stands, is: Is someone going to fix this? It certainly won't be me, I'm not a programmer, and it would be unwise to have me mucking around with code :)

This problem only exists, AFAIK, on the Nook Color. It doesn't happen on my glacier, it doesn't happen on my wife's shadow.

To answer ianPhillips1's suggestion to put an airplane toggle widget on the desktop, I'll try it, but I note that in the Preferences it showed airplane mode as unchecked, which is why the Android Assistant was recommended (elsewhere).

Because the problem persisted through updates, I wonder if maybe the scripting might work for me until I (personally) erase entirely. Still, it doesn't help all the other folks with this problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] jgaf:
From time to time I've been able to run HQ videos from youtube, from what I've seen it works when you load the video in potrait mode then go to landscape when it starts playing. Maybe someone could test this out, it worked for me in nightly 201 and worked in 197 before. I'm going to keep checking after I finish reading some stuff and I'll keep you guys posted.
[Nook Color Android Development] tubmanx:
So far it looks to me like the new Market update may have fixed our LCD density woes. The homepage looks great (at least in landscape) and movies are showing up. Hopefully no more build.prop changes or LCD density to get apps to show up...
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
Well nightly 200 changed the density to 160 by default, so yea.
[Nook Color Android Development] jgaf:
Well I tried a couple of videos in youtube, I found that some work on HQ and some don't. For example I was able to watch a teaser trailer for Napoleon Dynamite cartoon in HQ, but tried a couple of featured videos and they didn't load.
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
It will get fixed when it gets fixed but for now we have many workarounds to this bug that are very easily used.
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
The airplane mode bug now exists on the HP Touchpad so it might just get fixed for good.
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
I'm thinking maybe just removing airplane mode from settings would be a good enough fix but I'm not sure if that would break something else.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
There's an app of the day on Amazon today that looks pretty interesting. Its called Screebl, it monitors orientation of phone/tablet and you can set a range that it will keep screen on. Sounded interesting to me, thought I would share.

EDIT - Nevermind, spoke too soon. Doesn't work on Nook. It shows put orientation no matter how I hold the screen.

I have one of the 32gb touchpads. Haven't touched it in about 3++ weeks now I think. Compared to the Nook Color, that thing is garbage.

I can't give up the form factor plus DPI on the Nook Color. The Touchpad is much too heavy for any one-handed extended use.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nburnes:
And I say the exact opposite. Only touched my Nook to update the nightlies/apps on it.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Yeah, I've also moved my attention pretty heavily from the Nook to the TouchPad since getting it. I love the Nook and it definitely has a gorgeous display, but I'm having fun playing with webOS and there are some apps that just work better on the larger screen, especially when I'm at work.

I tried out the Acer Iconia A100 which is a 7" tablet with Honeycomb and Tegra 2. I sure do wish they had put a decent LCD and battery in that thing because it is hella faster than the Nook Color. That TN LCD is garbage. The color isn't as good and the viewing angle is terrible.
[Nook Color Android Development] I Am Marino:
I can't say this sorry.

I love my Nook but in the end, the TP is going to blow it away.

Hell even now, it's snappier than my NC overall.

WebOS has grown on me.

I have the Nook Color and the Acer A100 and I agree with the above. A100 display is poor. If the Nook only had audio input, a mic, something................ so I could do Groove IP VOIP calls.

Needing to upgrade from your nooks already?!

I think what it comes down to it its what you will use your tablet for.

I have an Android phone and I use that for the obvious uses plus language learning while on the move or at work.It also gets used for games abit and alittle ebook reading.It does everything I need it to do and it isnt slow about it.

My nook is used for video, websurfing and pdf/ereading and does these jobs perfectly.I have played the odd game on it while im on holiday for example but while im at home I use my pc for gaming, after all it surpasses ANY tablet in terms of its power.

Its gaming that causes the demand for more power and I dont understand why anyone would game on a phone or a tablet when they have a pc or a gaming console.

Each to their own I guess but really I dont see why alot of people have to keep upgrading when the tablet or phone they have is doing the job well enough.

Spending big £$ just for a couple of seconds less loading time perhaps...but still daft really imho.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
eh? Swiftkey Tablet X has always worked fine on the NC at 161, in fact at 160 it's TOO BIG in portrait mode IMO. It's huge, like 1/3rd of the screen.

Landscape has always worked fine too, split or non-split keyboard. Haven't noticed any additional keys, but I'd think that'd just take up even more of the already precious visible screen space in Landscape mode.

The only Swiftkey that doesn't work well on tablets is the Phone version.

And in other news.. this is not a Touchpad forum, so please, discuss it elsewhere, eh?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
That is part of the problem, Airplane for whatever reason does not toggle. I do not know why this has not been addressed but it has bee around since the very beginning for the Nook and CM7.

On the topic of Touchpad Vs Nook:

I prefer the Touchpad. I was honestly surprised that I like a bigger tablet. I thought 9 inch+ tablets would be too cumbersome for my tastes but I was wrong.

I do prefer the Nook Colors DPI but the Touchpad is much faster.

On a side note:

You have tried the most recent Firefox Mobile 9 nightlies. The new tablet interface in landscape is quite nice.

Definitely my browser of choice on the Nook and Touchpad.

Airplane mode:

I hope to fix this issue in Android rather than putting a work around in Nook Color Tweaks.
[Nook Color Android Development] topcaser:
Dalingrin, i have also both, nookie and tp. Nevertheless I don't use tp very often since this silly webOS. Apart from that I often hold my Nookie just with one hand. Iam not sure if this is also possible with the tp. The tp is used in another environment. Just my opinion. Therefore NookColor will never be obsolete.
[Nook Color Android Development] MechaGen:
I use Swifkey X "phone" edition on my NC and it looks great. Of course, I have my LCD density set to 220.
