[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokelover980:
The thing is, some of those background apps still running could be poorly optimized and still take CPU and not just RAM. You could be using an app and be good on memory, but you could have some background app taking resources and CPU cycles and possibly slowing your phone down in that manner, as well as draining your battery a bit more than usual.

I haven't used any memory optimizer/task killer since the first time I tried xtrSENSE, probably last July. zach.xtr includes scripts for GScript to change Android's built in memory manager settings, although I've since stopped changing any ROMs defaults as far as that's concerned.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gersto:
I decided to not install any mem managers, autokiller & startup auditor, when I moved to GSB from xtrROM. At this point I feel I don't need autokiller at all. Startup Auditor maybe, but the few that do startup on their own are not causing issues. To me AK has become an option, NOT a necessity!

I know there's a lot of thread about nook color not power on and i have searched the forum. My nook color won't power and i cant get into CWR or see the boot animation "the future of reading". I charged my nook over night and tried to hold down the POWER button for more than 20 seconds but without luck. I also tried to load from the sd card but the computer wouldnt recognize my nook since theres no power. Any help before i return this to BN since I'm still within the 14 days period?

Wait what do you mean by "I also tried to load from the sd card but the computer wouldnt recognize my nook since theres no power."

Have you Burned a CWR SD card yet and tried to boot off the SD card???

Chances are you have just screwed up your boot Partition and while the Nook will power on your not going to get anywhere or see the screen come on if the boot is messed up.

Please FULLY Read. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699

If you have done everything to the letter on that thread, then you might have A hardware issue that will need to be exchanged but 99% of "nook wont boot" problems are just problems with the internal memory being messed up and a CWR SD card can fix it.
[Nook Color General] minotauri:
ive noticed that the nook can sometimes be very unresponsive to powering on. try some random combinations of plugging and unplugging your usb to it and powering it on.
[Nook Color General] zizoty:
I burned 8gb recovery image into the sd-card and it work. The key to get it work is to plug the usb to your nook first and then to the computer. After you plug into the computer, HOLD POWER AND N BUTTON FOR 20 SECONDS!!!!!!. thanks everyone!

Nook Color: no power on - Battery to low, but no charging possible

I've got a Nook Color via ebay Germany and I rooted it (Autonooter).

For a few weeks I had a great device!!

2 days ago - battery was low - I wanted to have a look onto the worldnews, just for a few minutes. At this moment a software update (from B&N?) began to work.

After this battery was completely empty.

And since this moment I cannot charge or boot my NC.

From time to time there is the Android starting screen with robot or, sometimes, the note, that battery is too low to power on - please wait 15 minutes.

What can I do? Now I'm waiting and charging 2280 minutes.

I'm using original B&N-cable in wall or computer an tried other micro-usb's.

Restore to stock witout power - I don't know how it works. I'm bloody beginner in Android devices and was so glad, that my rooting (with a lot of helpful threads and youtube videos) was successful.

The last 2 days I read a lot of clockwork and restore to stock. How do it work without power?

Please could someone help me? Thanks!!
[Nook Color General] ChandlerC:
I had the same problem, I let it sit for a while and re-tried powering on after about an hour and it worked. Good luck.

Hey, I've been considering buying a nook to install android on for home tablet use since I can get one from work for a decent price and my tax return is burning a hole in my pocket.

But as a good consumer I do a little research and I just had a few questions about it first.

How is the battery life on this device?

Is it really worth buying to install android on? (Have not looked at how to do it so I don't know if it's an inconvenience to do.)

Are there cheaper alternatives to an android tablet if android is an inconvenience to install on it?

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
First Battery life is a good 6-8+ hours depending on what your using. Having Wifi on all the time and running graphical Heavy games will drain the battery faster.

2nd, The Nook Color, already has android 2.1 on it, you can very easily root the device to enable full use of the rom. There are also several Custom Roms you can install on it instead of the Stock rom.

These can all be found in the Developers forum.

Currently you can install

CM7 (Ginger Bread 2.3.2)

Nookie Froyo (Froyo 2.2)

Honey Comb Preview (Based on HC Preview SDK Running A top 2.1 Kernel)

The Nook Color is very Capable Tablet, I have yet to run across a game that it can't handle, you will sometimes find programs that arent designed to run on the inch screen, or you might find apps that wont run on the rom you are using, but over all Most things work perfectly on it.

currently the only thing I really wish it had was Bluetooth, Which it will have when CM7 is fully done for it.
[Nook Color General] Ulor:
Its great

I like it...I have never run the battery down past 50 even when my phone and Eris was like at 10 so good battery. I dont ever bring a charge for it and dont see a need to do more than a nightly charge.

Very good tablet and works great with Android, the software is new so there are kinks, but they are getting worked out quickly. Overall a great little piece of tech and definitely the cheapest capable tablet.
[Nook Color General] Alkaloid:
I just picked up mine on Sunday and I've got to say after rooting it and installing a custom rom I am more than impressed. It's a very good buy for the money.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
To keep my Waranty I just run Froyo off a 4 gb class 6 MicroSD without rooting my Stock and I'm very satisfied. Much more Mobile then an iPad.

I opted for book color after buying an apad and being incredibly miserable with it. My children have micro cruz tablets and while they are good for the kids, angry birds and a TON of other stuff wont install to cruz. Rooted or not. NC is far enough into development that it is a kicker of a tablet for the price.

Alas apad is a horrible horrible waste of money. Cruz is ok. But doesn't run a ton of apps.

Screen wise the nook is incredible! Good luck to ya!

i bought my wife a NC for christmas and overall think its a fantastic investment. heck you can watch You Tube videos on it running side by side with a Galaxy Tab and it holds its own. the Tab has a faster processor but for the money and the capabilities i would never spend money on a knock off when i can get a NC for 250. It works great for a tab, even if it doesnt have like the camera stuff on it.

hello,

was also thinking about a NC so didn't want to start another thread. Just a few questions.

Is there a way to run the original nook software if running a custom rom? There seem to be additional features that are not present in the standard android nook app.

How does the nook button work? Can you change its assignment or perhaps have short press and long press assignments?

Is there a compass so that google sky would work?

Thanks a bunch
[Nook Color General] japzone:
The nook's WiFi card does have Bluetooth built in(For some reason it's cheaper than a standalone) but it's been disabled in the Firmware and Devs are having trouble enabling it to the point that it could be useful.

You can Dual-Boot Rooted Stock and Froyo/Honeycomb but I don't reccomend it for the un-hardcore tech-savy. Better to go the other method which Boots Nookie Froyo or Honeycomb from the MicroSD card. This can even be done without Rooting your Stock(Like I did)

The Nook button in Rooted Stock or Nookie Froyo by default works as follows:

One Tap = Home Screen(Default home screen for Stock or Default Froyo in Nookie Froyo, You can always install a Different one though)

Double Tap = Soft Keys(So you can use Buttons like Menu and Back which the Nook has no Physical Buttons for, Although you can Remap the Volume Keys to Menu and Back and use the Softkeys or other Volume App to change the Volume)

No the Nook has no Compass but you can use Google Sky Maps in Manual mode and it works fine (Bottom-Left Hand Corner)

Just ask if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

I wouldn't mind rooting really, my g2 is rooted ok, but really this nook isn't for me so I want to leave it simple to use (for my mom). So I may go booting from SD anyhow. Is it just a menu at boot where you choose what to load?

What all can you do extra on a rooted stock? She may not even need a custom rom. Feel free to just link me, but I couldn't find a whole lot other than just enabling market etc. Wasn't sure if there were any gotcha's on what you can & can't install rooted, or even on a custom rom for that matter.

Are those nook key swappable by chance? so where single click brought up the soft menu instead?

thank again

Button repacement

Hi,

I find 'Button Savior' (from market) a better replacement for the buttons that

Android is expecting. It displays a small 'icon' on the selected side of screen, after

touching the icon, the home/back etc. buttons display as an overlay. It has been

very reliable for me, and easy to click 'back' and home for me.

When I read in bed at night, the 'nook' button is loud and bothers my wife too!

[Nook Color General] japzone:
Rooting the Stock allows you to do anything you want (Installing Android Market, Adding almost any App You want, ect...) The only real Limitations are made by the Nook's Hardware and the Fact that NC Stock is Android 2.1.

If someone else is going to be using Stock just for Normal Features I recommend not Rooting it. Instead going the SD card Boot method is better for you.

Going the SD card way gives you two OS options:

Nookie Froyo = Android 2.2

Nookie Honeycomb = Android 3.0 (Pre-Release, ie:Preview/Demo Version)

When wanting to boot to stock, you can simply remove the MicroSD and it'll boot to Stock. Or if you wish you can Modify the MicroSD's boot file so Holding down the Home button changes what boots (see this Thread for details: [Project] Dual-Boot between NF SDcard and Stock No-Rooting)

If you install Nookie Froyo it comes with "SoftKeys" (which I like better than "Button Savior") "SoftKeys" has several ways of use:

1) Can be set to appear by Pressing the Home button Once or Twice (Home Will Appear on Second Press or First Press)(This is the Default setup and it will be 1Press:Home 2Press:SoftKeys)

2) Have a Floating Button that you can Press and make Floating Controls appear. It can be customized by changing transparency, adding a Floating D-Pad, adding Custom Buttons, and Choosing what Buttons appear.

3) or Have Both

Also in Froyo if you wish you can Remap the Menu and Back buttons to the Volume Keys on the Nook and then use "SoftKeys" or some other Volume app (Volumer++ is a great one) to change the Volume (I did this)

If you install Nookie Honeycomb it has Built-In Softkeys in the form of a Permanent Bar at the Bottom of the Screen that includes Back, Home, Task Switch, Menu, and your Notifications.

I think I may go pick one of these up in the next week or 2 :D
[Nook Color General] pwlorraine:
The nook is quite a decent tablet and relatively frustration free in stock form. As you use the custom roms you will gain functionality but will need to "fiddle" - get the market working properly, etc. The B&N stock reader application is very nice and popular - once you are running a custom rom you will lose the reader that it comes with - the marketplace nook reader misses several nice features.

If you want minimum hassle, I'd suggest rooting the stock unit - which will basically let you add the market and applications to the original android 2.1 software. This is something I'd give to my wife or mom - although they'd really rather have an ipad.

If you don't mind solving technical problems, can search technical forums and can follow the answers, then the custom roms add some nice functionality. The custom roms are getting better all the time but it is common to discover something is broken - ie let the battery run dry and you will need to reflash. The hassle here is not really all that great - but I wouldn't want my mom or wife to have to do this.

The hardware appears quite good - good performance and speed with a decent display. The device appears to better my son's nexus one on most speed tests - even without overclocking. The charging cable is cheaply made and tends to break where the flexible cable joins the plastic case around the micro-usb that gets inserted into the nook. Treat it carefully and buy a spare.

[Nook Color General] Trickee360:
I've had an NC for almost a week and, even with some minor issues, I think it's more than worth the $250.

The problem with most budget tablets is that their touch screens respond horribly to input. The NC does not have this issue. Plus, it has specifications (CPU/GPU/RAM) on par with the Droid 2. Not too shabby.

Also, I'd like to add that, in my experience, that 6-8 hour battery life is 6-8 hours of USE. With the screen and wifi off, my NC consumes next to nothing on the battery front. I leave the house at 7am with 80%, and I make it back around 6pm with 50%. It can easily last an entire day with moderate to heavy use.

Overall, the NC is a great buy. I recommend it.
[Nook Color General] MedLine:
I'll second that. I've gone through Nook 1.1 Auto-Nooter 3.0.0, Nookie Froyo 0.6.8, CM7 (both nightlies and pherimod), and HC v4, all installed to eMMC and generally running dalingrin's OC kernels. The screen is amazing. Worth every bit of the $200 I paid for it (eBay discount a few weeks ago).

If they go into the music app, can they see their files if they go to 'storage' rather than 'artists', 'songs' etc?

If that is the case, then they can manually restart the media search on the HDD through settings > repair and formatting > reset multimedia library.

after I did that once, I've never had any troubles
