[Nook Color General] :
Bawb3, are you using dalingrin's overclocked kernel? If so, are you able to mount your nook on your computer via USB? I just installed the kernel last night and I'm unable to get USB debugging to come up when I plug in. I tried on Windows 7 and OSX and nothing happened in either OS.

Other than that, I love CM7. I started out on Customized Nookie Froyo, but I was having major issues with scrolling speeds and weird market issues. So far CM7 has been rock solid and blazing fast. I would recommend you give it a go.

Just make sure you use one of the latest nightlies if you do. The customized versions are nice, but no one does CM7 like the actual team. :-)
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
New NC user this week, I've been running CM7 on eMMC for about 48 hours (first nightly v12, now v13) and it's been very stable. DSP video is the major thing lacking. Flash is smooth (including Hulu). I am having some trouble with seeing my installed/purchased apps in the Market but there are work-arounds I haven't tried yet.

I noticed in v12, Google Reader worked 100% fine and Maps FC'd. Now in v13, Reader scales down to 480x320 as soon as I open an article, but maps works fine. I've read this is a problem with DPI settings but I haven't got around to fixing it.

Overall if you're sick of B&N's Android, CM7 on CWM 3.0.1.0 seems to be the most stable of all the ROM's I tried, even in its nightly stage. But I have read of other peeps having major problems. I just really love Gingerbread. Google has really got a winner with 2.3
[Nook Color General] dalamchops:
battery life is horrible w/ CM7, lots of drain when sleeping.
[Nook Color General] :
I would be interested to see if anyone has flashed #14 and had Google Reader scale to full size in article view. I'm on #13 as well and haven't been able to get it to scale properly no matter what LCD Density I use.....
[Nook Color General] :
I'm not too concerned with the battery drain considering the tear downs have shown that the battery is plugged in and not soldered onto the board. By the time we kill these batteries with multiple charges someone will have put out a kit to replace the battery yourself...just like with the ipods that weren't supposed to have user replaceable batteries.
[Nook Color General] john10101:
I second this, i notice it drains the battery pretty fast when im not using it. not really sure what it is doing. its not like its connected to the internet or doing something productive for the battery drain.
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
I turn off WiFi when I'm not using it (you could use Tasker to have it automagically go off/on at sleep/wake) and battery life improved significantly. I'm guessing when wifi is on, a lot of background activity happens.

But battery also isn't a big deal for me either. I probably use the thing for about an hour a day untethered, and the rest of the time it is plugged in.
[Nook Color General] :
It might be that an app like TweetDeck is scheduled to get updates every 3 minutes or something. I make sure to turn all of that stuff to manual as I pick up the Nook with checking it in mind anyway and can wait the few seconds it takes after I hit refresh.
[Nook Color General] barrist:
Is battery life alot better in nookie froyo?
[Nook Color General] virx14:
Yes, battery life was was a lot better in Froyo for me. However I had a load of other problems in Froyo such as market intermittently not working, wifi problems, flash not working in firefox. I am sure it could be fixed, but it worked out of the box in CM7 and I liked CM7 UI much better.
[Nook Color General] Damager78:
Is anyone running CM7 out of an sd card?
[Nook Color General] KitF:
If you're seeing battery drain, it seems SetCPU profiles eat up a lot of CPU. Just use the inbuilt settings (Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance > CPU)

Dalingin posted a new kernel that supports USB mounting on N13+ and also a new Interactive governor which should be faster.

DSP is really the only thing missing. I replaced Google Reader with a dolphin bookmark to the smartphone site, which I feel works a bit better anyway.
[Nook Color General] Kayak83:
I just watched the video below and am pretty close to loading this. I tried Nookie Froyo was wasn't happy at all. I actually like the rooted stock appearance and performance except for the lack of flash. I just wish these ROM's allowed me to make the home screen look like the stock experience with the "continue reading" options on top and the stock B&N reading/store app.

[Nook Color General] esuuuu09:
I'm running CM7 v13 and I feel like this is the best one overall. I had a few minor hiccups with the wifi but i found a work around to it.

Contrary to what people say, I am impressed with the battery life. This is why. The original NC is used as an e-reader, but i purchased it as a tablet. I haven't had alot of experience with it, but i was able to get at least 6 hard hours out of it with the OC. Left it on overnight (roughtly 6 hours) with wifi and battery only dropped like 5% which is pretty good to me.

The only gripe i have is the DSP but that's tolerable considering all the other advantages of it.

The xda community has been very helpful and alot of the quirks with it has already been worked out if you do some searching in the threads.

Just my 2 cents.
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
Just flashed v14 annnnnnd....

Reader is still borked

Market is working 100%! All my previous purchases & installs are available in My Apps with the option to update!

Maps is still working.
[Nook Color General] cuoreesitante:
Quick question on the nightlies: If I update from lets say #13 to #14, does it erase everything I had installed? or is it just and update that keeps all the apps and settings?

I am on #13, and some problems I noticed:

- Wifi would go on and off by itself coming out of sleep

- The "clear" notification button is REALLY unresponsive (might be a hardware issue thou)

- Takes FOREVER to charge (more than 5 hours)
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
As long as you don't wipe your data (though do wipe your cache) before reflashing, it should keep everything. It kept everything for me from v12 to v13, and then kept everything from v13 to v14. You should always double check the important stuff though.

I have the same responsiveness problem with the Clear button, but I'm 99% certain that's the hardware. I have had response/accuracy problems consistently in the corners of my screen, especially the top. Since the problem was on stock, nookie froyo, and CM7 (it's actually a lot better on CM7 than stock), I'm guessing it's the touch panel's fault.

Charging goes a lot faster for me if I've got it plugged into a wall (like 2 hours for 30% to 100%) instead of my computer. Probably a lower current coming through the USB on my computer than from the wall plug, I get the same difference when charging my Milestone. Don't know why the ROM would affect charging at all.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
The only main problem with CM7 is that video acceleration doesn't work. That means no Youtube app, Orb app, playing x264 files with the local player, etc.

That is a deal breaker for me, but if its not for you then.....

No matter what version of cm7 i try, even phiremod.. i cannot get mp3s to play. That is very important to me and why i havenot switched to cm7 yet. If mp3s played for me, id be on it right now. Do they work for any of you?

[Nook Color General] cuoreesitante:
Do you use Rom Manager or just CWM?
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
I reboot into CWM recovery using ROM Manager (for some reason the "recovery" option from the power-off reboot menu doesn't work) and install from there. ROM Manager doesn't give the option to just wipe the cache, instead it will only wipe everything or nothing.
[EVO 4G General] tmac4life:
Hi I had just flashed the new CM7 RC2 and I flashed the snap dragon kernel and now the 4g is stuck on turning on. I was wondering if CM7 RC2's original kernel is the reason why it works.

If so is there a way to get the original kernel or do I have to reflash everything? Please let me know thanks!
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Just reflash the rc2. The kernal in there is why 4g works. Or u can use the savagenzen kernal and just flash that on top of rc2

yeah im using the Savage Zen 0.1.2 can its working great for me....battery life is also amazing with this kernel....give it a go....u can always go back

I updated clockwork recovery through rom manager and now my Evo gets stuck at the white boot screen whenever I try to go into recovery.. if i'm just booting regularly then it works fine...

Help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I would try reflashing the recovery. Actually, I suggest using Amon Ra recovery. You can use ROM manager to do that if you'd like, select 'flash alternate recovery' It sounds like something went wrong during the recovery flash. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robollama:
reflashed to an earlier version of clockwork and it works now :)

Why do you suggest amon ra recovery instead? whats the difference?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I guess it's really just user preference actually. Some people swear by clockwork, others by Amon. The main reason I started using Amon Ra, is because when I first rooted and was using clockwork, I kept getting bootloops when trying to flash any ROM. I changed recoveries to Amon Ra and never looked back. I have been able to flash everything I've wanted, and can get to recovery every time I try. Also, Amon Ra backs up your wimax RSA keys. I know some versions of clockwork do now (not sure which one) but clockwork used to not be capable of backing up the RSA keys, so that was another reason I initially started using Amon, and I just always have since then. It seems like any time someone is having trouble flashing something, they are using clockwork, then they report that changing to Amon fixed the problem. It's just mroe reliable in my opinion. But as I said, its user preference, and I'm sure clockwork works flawlessly for a lot of people. To each their own!

Please help me in partitioning the card without affecting the data in it with any simple application.Im a newbie to android.:(

Resize existing partition first (i.e the full card is denoted as partition 1) the you will have "X" sized partition to which will be "unallocated". select that partition and click "create", "ext2" "primary" and then hit apply :D Recommend class6+ card for best results

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
I mean no offense to any devs, far from it in fact, but the more I learn about the process behind flashing/updating ROMs on Android the more I have to wonder ...

>> why are ROMs typically released as full/complete .zips rather than just a set of deltas from a known good base?

I'll take SuperClean as the example, which I use and adore; again there is no offense implied here. This is, for the most part, a deodexed stock EB01 ROM with a bunch of files removed and a bunch of files added/replaced, right? Something that one could do by oneself by adding/removing the necessary files via ABD and wiping? I actually did that on my own for my SC 2.7 upgrade from SC 2.6 and managed to avoid all the CWM hassle -- worked great (wiped cache and dalvik, of course).

Putting kernels aside for a moment ... what is the benefit to not providing an essentially static stock deodexed base ROM and implement each iteration as a delta to that base rather than a complete system? I may be way off base here, but it seems like a lot less hassle for the devs to me -- send out a couple delta .zip packages (one for an incremental update from the last version and another for a full update from the base image) rather than every file every time? It seems like a *lot* less downloading and a lot more error proof of a process to me.

I think *most* people that follow these ROMs are likely to be flashing to the bleeding edge as soon as the post goes out (I know I do!). If all that changed in a ROM was the framework .apk and a couple app .apks ... isn't it wasteful for both the dev and the users to create/download/apply a huge .ZIP rather than just CWM a couple hundred kilobytes and (probably) wipe the dalvik cache?

Kernels: As I've learned over time here, the kernels seem to be best suited when not attached to a ROM. I don't know if it's minor hardware differences or how we flash/apply the changes, but obviously not every kernel works well for every device (at least with Galaxy S devices - lol). My opinion would be that the oldest, most stable/compatible kernel be included with a ROM, if one must be provided at all. I think most people that have been able to get a grasp on the flashing/update/rooting process for Android are probably comfortable enough with separate kernel packages.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm on a soapbox here ... I truly do appreciate the efforts being put forth that I am personally benefitting from :D I'm just wondering why a delta-based system that doesn't need quite as much care and feeding as full-on system ROM replacements do doesn't seem to be a popular way of doing things. If nothing else, it should greatly reduce the number of people that have issues with their battery stats being wiped out by a full wipe when the device was at 62% or something :rolleyes:

Almost forgot ... I have no idea what good "zip aligning" does and perhaps that, or something else I'm too ignorant to understand yet, is the reason behind leaning towards full ROMs. I'm totally cool with being wrong about this -- flame away if you must, but don't be too harsh, my intentions were good ...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace5198:
I def get what ur saying.. But alot of ppl.don't know how to use adb.... The only reason ppl would know is from other android phones.. Or if they rooted this phone right when it came out.. I think the whole zip is a great idea.. It sux 4 ppl like me cause my internet sux.. But even with the whole zip and the step by step error proof directions ppl still brick there ****.... My god ppl screw up odin n that's stupid easy.... I think the whole package is a simple way to hear less ppl.complaining
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
I smell what op is steppin' in. And I do update my own rom in that manor by just pulling updated frameworks of files and pushing them or making a cwm zip to flash.

good day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
One reason I can think of. What if you started at SC 2.0 and wanted to go to SC 2.8? That would be 8 or so zip files you'd have to flash, as opposed to just one (two if you want a theme). The same would apply if you went from AOSP, MIUI, or any other ROM back to SuperClean. Also, I feel like it's much easier to package a full ROM for flashing rather than small incremental changes. What if you miss a file in the update zip? It's harder to loose track of files IMO just packing the whole thing.

Also, I do agree with the kernels statement. I'd rather have them seperate, as it would prevent a voodoo user from flashing a NV kernel and the other way around when flashing a ROM. Either way, I package up my own "ROM" that is pre-themed and customized to my liking.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew951:

That would be incorrect. It works just fine on my phone. FWIW, it does work fine with the official build of the Nexus S, but the official build of the Nexus One had Facebook contact sync revoked by Google. I don't know the status of AOSP 2.3.3, but it's working fine on GSB 1.9/CM7 RC1/2.3.3.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Well, I should say that my GSB 1.9 build was flashed over 1.8, which was flashed over a fresh install of 1.7. If you cannot get Facebook contact sync to work in 1.9, I suppose one thing to try is to fresh install an older version of GSB (say, 1.7), get everything set up on there (I'd do Facebook first, to make sure that contact sync is working for you) and the flash over with 1.9 and gapps.

My only issue with FB contact sync is that I have manually join some contacts with my existing gmail contacts after a fresh install. FWIW, HTC's facebook contact sync was always much smarter about this.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I did the unforgivable - never did before. I backed up my system's App data from GSB 1.9 and restored it to GingerTazz 11. It actually works quite well. I only have two quirks, Flow keeps FCing and I can use the Facebook app but not add it to the sync list.

I definitely could before.

I'm going to do a fresh install now that I have more time so I anticipate both of these to go away.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
The thing is whenever Google released GB 2.3.3 the Facebook contact sync was supposed to be disabled. So when Shed and Tazz compiled there source that feature should not be there. This is only in GSB 2.0 and Tazz's v12 because they are 2.3.3. Anything previous to these versions still should sync with no problems. Now with that said, I have noticed that the sync is still working for me in GSB 2.0. Although it may be hit and miss for others. My advise would be to NOT to update Facebook until this gets fixed and all the bugs get worked out. The problems is not with the phone or the roms. Its with Google and Facebook.
