Paired to my laptop and running PPT Remote (the holy grail of my nook experience). Range is obviously too low to be practical, and it is a little flaky on connecting to the server initially. I'll try to get hold of a faster card to see if that is part of that problem (I'm running off a class 2 - don't laugh!) But once it is connected it seems to be rock solid. Hats off to the developers.
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
actually I am having a bit more trouble. The market will not show all of the apps I want to download. For example, Im trying to download tweetdeck and it is not showing. Any ideas?

I'm having issues using my Samsung WEP475 BT headset.

I'm able to pair and connect, but when I tap the talk button on my headset, the Voice Dialer pops up, and the Nook says "Spea- Goodbye."

Is this because the Dialer/Voice Dialer are looking for hardware hooks that don't exist?

I'm still waiting for Google Voice Search to download; looks like signing into my Google Account caused Market to try to simultaneously download the dozens of apps I had on my Phiremod install. Yikes!

Update:

No, this is still a problem, even with Google Voice Search: "Audio problem".

With Voice Dialer, I get "Speak now- Goodbye.", "Connection to headset lost".

Tried multiple reboots. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
That was the first thing I tried. To no avail. I'll try it again though. Maybe I did something wrong.

yea I just did it again. That didn't work. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
keep trying. it will work.
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
I cant tell if you are joking or not. I've done it three times.
[Nook Color Android Development] shaxs:
This is awesome!

Is there anyway to move the notification bar to the bottom of the screen instead of the top?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I used Win32DiskImager to write extracted image to class 4 4gb sandisk. I just had it overwrite my HoneyComb sd ROM. Did not reformat.

I moved some music over with my mac to emmc My Files. It mounted 3 nook drives (partitions and drives). Disconnected using proper procedures.

Tried to do below. Was not able to do until I restarted the nook

go to settings -> wireless & networks

make sure that bluetooth is enabled and then you can explore and pair devices in "bluetooth settings" there.

Left Nook scan for bluetooth while holding power button on bluetooth headset. Lauched music program found my album and started playing songs.

Will try my friend's bluetooth keyboard tommorrow.
[Nook Color Android Development] Nooter:
Sorry about that. The only other thing is protected apps: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#Access_Protected_market_apps

Now paired to Logitech diNovo keyboard - works perfectly. I see a small bluetooth keyboard in my future...
[Nook Color Android Development] rawker:
Worked great for me got my wiimote working with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Ok I have the Navigation (blue triangle) icon now,the trick was to uninstall and then reinstall Google Maps WITH the Bluetooth GPS connected. Drove around with Google Maps Navigation (connected to my tethered iPad) and it ran fine.

I still find the NC's screen to be not very sensitive to touch commands but that ROM really takes it to another level, thanks again!

YouTube videos still don't play though, that's a bummer, anyone figured that out?

How do I load update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-031111.zip OC Kernal built for this ROM?

Do I use adb? I have been searching here, dev thread, and HoneyComb sd card thread?
[Nook Color Android Development] DigitalMD:
Perhaps this will work well.

[Nook Color Android Development] rchir:
that same keyboard on ebay for around $15

yes it will take a while to arrive
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Really? I find that I can't even come close to the screen. Mine will register a press when I'm not even touching it...almost too sensitive.

Made zero changes.
[Nook Color Android Development] stilger:
OK, I tried Copilot live today and it worked great. Had it take me to multiple locations and it was spot on. Voices and everything worked. I guess the next thing to try is WiFi tether my nook with my pre and then try Google navigation with the Bluetooth GPS. I think someone said they tried this with their IPAD and tethering it to the nook so I am sure it works already.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
What ??

What is the point of that - it is the same tiny cramped keyboard of a phone !

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] celticchrys:
This also worked for me! Bluetooth comes on, and sees and connects to my Motorola BT headset. Also able to see and pair with my CDMA HTC Desire BravoC).

CM7 from SD seems much more smooth than Nookie Froyo from SD.

**EDIT**

Everything seems great now except Youtube. I installed Flash player 10.1, rebooted, and still get these messages:

In the Youtube app, "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry."

In Dolphin with desktop user agent, , I get "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." With Android user agernt, I get "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
[Nook Color Android Development] aloant:
I have it, and while it does work on the Nook, the keyboard's rubber keys are hard to type on. I paid around ~$15 on eBay.
[Nook Color Android Development] celticchrys:
Has anyone thought of trying something like these with their Nook Color? I have not tried them and am not affiliated with these sellers, but I'm curious about them:

[Nook Color Android Development] TchnclFl:
I can't see why they wouldn't work, but no, I have not personally tried them.
[Nook Color Android Development] Tschumi:
I have that feeling too. It also loads faster [but that might be a Class 6 vs class 4 sdcard]

I managed to pair it and listen to music with a Muses 802 A2BD headset. Works perfect.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
That was me and yes it works fine.

Also stuck with YouTube, odd.

Would also be interested in finding out how the build on the SD card can be updated.
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
It's the same CM7 thing as normal build

the only difference is rc.encore.init in ramdisk.

So feel free to just drop the changed files from your own CM7 build dir to the second partition on the SD card.

just don't touch xbin and you will be fine (some files there just require some special premissions. good thing is they don't change).
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Thanks, would that be done via ADB ?

Is YouTube working for you?
[Nook Color Android Development] Humanio:
Great work with everything. I was waiting for sd bootable CM7 before trying emmc.

Just out of curiosity is anyone else having issues with WIFI? Wifi works but is painfully slow. Web pages often take minutes to load or refresh and installing apps from the market takes patience to say the least.

I'd like to know if anyone else is experience similar issues or if its something on my end. Thanks guys, and great work!
[Nook Color Android Development] celticchrys:
Oh, that's excellent to know that the headset works! Thanks.

I was running nookie froyo on a class 6 card, and am running CM7 on a class 2 card, and CM7 is still smoother and more responsive.
[Nook Color Android Development] celticchrys:
New dumb question: Would I add updates via adb, or should/can I in some fashion mount that partition in Windows to add files to it?
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
You can do it in adb.

I am not familiar with windows, but if you can mount the ext4 filesystem there, you should be able to copy the files from windows as well
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
Are you running with coexist setting at 1? There were some reports that wifi might have been affected in that case (though I did not notice it).

For me, wifi works at normal speeds while connected to an apple bt keyboard.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I got 3/11 installed on eMMC and setup and all my apps configured and loving it! Then I see 3/12 has come out already! Now this?!?!?! Awesome. I received my class "10" Patriot 8gb today that I am going to load the 3/12 on. I have a couple questions.

I have been using WinImage to burn SD images to my SD card.

Does this bootable image include gapps and the overclocked kernel?

How does one expand this 2gb image to 8gb so I can get some of the storage space back?

I just ordered a BT keyboard to try: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823115003

Super excited!
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
No, this image does not come with OC kernel, though you can grab dalingrin's latest one, unpack the zip file, grab the "kernel" file and write it instead of hte file named uImage on the first partition of the SD card.

It does not come with gapps either, though you can install them separately (instructions are in earlier messages).

Instructions on extending the image to have bigger fat partition at the end (and changing vold config so that it's actually used) were also posted earlier in this topic.
[Nook Color Android Development] pceasar:
Man my nook wont connect to Wifi, I am reburning the image because my wifi only connects to my Dell Streak and not my house wpa2 network.

Edit: Same crap, guess its back to froyo
[Nook Color Android Development] Nooter:
I'm having the exact same problem with WiFi. Pages work okay, but the second I try to download something, my connection stalls until I turn off and turn on WiFi on the Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] CyborgDesire:
Thx, Works perfectly ! Great job !

Greetz,

Follow me @ Twitter : www.twitter.com/CyborgDesire for the latest news, updates and gadgets.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
The instructions on extending the image assumed that you have a linux box.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I do not, but if it is just a partition, I can extend it in windows. I just need to read the posts to see which one gets extended. Thanks! This thread isn't nearly as expansive as the others so I will seek the info out later tonight! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Is this the 3/11 or 3/12 build?
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
It's 3/11 with bt changes applied on top manually.
[Nook Color Android Development] shaxs:
Sorry to be repetitive, but is it possible to move the notification bar to the bottom of the screen instead of the top?
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
sure... just flash 2.1 stock rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] shaxs:
No need to be smart about it. Obviously I am asking about CM7. If it cant be done just say so.
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
its been asked and answered many times.

Trying to the gapps to install using the method above:

http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market

I can do this with no errors, but by following these instructions it is installing the apps to /system/app. Shouldn't it be installing to some directory on the /sdcard/ since this ROM is booting from the sdcard? It is installing them to the actual NOOK memory not the sdcard? I can't get the apps to show up following this method but I am reading that most of you have. Trying to figure out what I am doing wrong? :/ I'm new to this as you can tell. Any help would be appreciated!
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Your actual problem is "I can't get the apps to show up" so that should be first.

--

Since the method worked for me, I can assume that the notation means that /system is a relative location.

That means adb must point to the CM7 install, which probably occurred in my case, because I installed adb when the NC was running CM7.

If you previously installed adb before making the bootable uSD card, then you will have to research how to get adb to point to the CM7 install.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
adb pull /etc/vold.fstab

# modify /etc/vold.fstab and change the auto portion of line:

# dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

# to

# dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

adb remount

adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab

adb rebootHope this helps and does not confuse!

Before I did this in adb windows 7, I repartitioned my last partition to full size using EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition. My mac would recognize boot, Untitled, and MyNOOKcolor. The Untitled was the expanded 2.68 GB made with EASEUS software on windows. The android was still seeing only sdcard (boot) and MyNOOKcolor (emmc).

I have froyo 2.2 (phiremod nook Beta 2) installed in the emmc.

When I pushed the modified vold.fstab my mac now wanted to initialize after the boot image mounted, which I select ignore. I then went back to windows and edited the line back to original and repushed. Everything on the mac is back to normal.

Should switching auto to 4 be something else since I have phiremod 2.2 ROM installed in emmc? Should I initialize on the mac with the fix in? Any suggestions?

Edit: I just redid it again. Now the Android finds that expanded partition. Still have initialize, ignore, or eject option on the mac with MyNOOKColor showing. PC only sees MyNOOKColor. Guess I will have to use ADB to load files from windows 7. What do you think?

I pulled the card from the nook and put the card in a usb adapter. Now in the mac I see boot and untitled. The untitled being my expanded partition (yea). In window 7 usb adapter only sees boot. EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition see all the partitions.

I use Win32DiskImager.exe to backup the card. Type in c:\sdcardcm7backup.img in textbbox. Then use the read option. I switch to an sd adapter but the usb adapter should work.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
Thanks for this. Bluetooth on the Nook is amazing.

Bluetooth would not turn on until I made the edits to "tiwlan.ini" that were posted earlier. Then it worked like a charm.

I have successful paired with My vibrant and moved files. In addition I have up and running my old foldable Stowaway keyboard from way back to my Dell Axim PDA days(yikes!). The little flip up stand on the keyboard works great in landscape mode. Very cool.

Now if only I had something to type...

Edit:

This change,

/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

BThWlanCoexistEnable = 2

changed it to BThWlanCoexistEnable = 1

broke my WiFi connection on wep, wifi stuck on optaining ip, then shuts off wifi.

Restoring the "tiwlan.ini" file to it previouse original state (BThWlanCoexistEnable = 2) restored my wifi and I still was again able to turn on and use Bluetooth. Odd. ?
[Nook Color Android Development] Humanio:
Truthfully I'm not entirely sure. What is this setting and where do I change it?

I haven't tested BT yet as I currently have no need for it, but WIFI is really slow. Its taken me hours to download 2 apps from the market despite the face that wifi has full bars.

Any ideas? This wasn't an issue on stock or rooted Nook but I'd be very interested to learn more about the problem and a solution. Thanks again.

EDIT* Just remembered what the coexist was. I'll edit tiwlan.ini and report back with results. thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] pceasar:
I am a little lost, for us windows guys are you saying its better to delete the 4th partition and recreate as fat than to just extend it in say Easus partition manager?
[Nook Color Android Development] stilger:
If you can extend it in windows great. I knew how to do what I wanted in Linux so thats how i did it.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Just extend with the partition manager in windows (replaces whole first group). Then in windows adb pull it down, then open vold.fstab with notepad++ to change the "auto" to a "4". Save it. Then use windows adb to push it. You can cut and paste each line from your second group into the cmd window. Be sure to change the file,vold.fstab, with notepad++ (Linux format editor for windows) before you push it. Do not use notepad format it wrong.

You will have to download and install notepad++. Have to download and install EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition (new version is available).

STEPS

Extend with Partition Master

adb pull /etc/vold.fstab

modify and save in notepad++ change "auto" to "4"

adb remount

adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab

adb reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I use Win32DiskImager.exe to backup the card. The same program I used to write the image.

Type in c:\sdcardcm7backup.img in textbbox. Then use the read option. You can use an sd adapter or usb adapter for your sd card. Just remove from your nook and insert it in one of these. The read option reads the card and writes the backup image to the name you gave it in the textbox. Be sure to use c:\name.img. The c:\ path is necessary otherwise you will get error 8.

You can backup you whole card with this. Install a larger or higher class card by using this backup image with Win32DiskImager.exe and EASEUS Partition Master. You will be able to start with everything just as you left it. Except now you have a faster or bigger sd card. I have used it with 4gb and 8gb cards plus class 4 and class 6 cards. I have not tried it with 16gb or 32gb cards. I think I might have read that these might cause problems. When moving to bigger you will need to use EASEUS Partition Master as the final step.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Ah so Easus works then? I tried with Acronis Disk Keeper but it was not seeing the partitions properly. You just extend the last partition and that's it?

What about trying to a search in the market, that little search button is really hard to push!

So I'm not clear if anyone has gotten YouTube to work on this build?
[Nook Color Android Development] soonereng:
My understanding was it wouldn't work until DSP was fixed...
[Nook Color Android Development] bobo12:
This is an amazing build! Bluetooth worked and once I managed to manually push the relevant Google Apps files via ADB, I was able to connect to the market and download the app that lets me connect to my very old Freedom Universal Bluetooth Keyboard (the original one) and it worked!!! Excellent work! Once the Stock Reader applications are working http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976270, this will be my rom of choice!
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
If I take the card I have been using, extend the partition, and then push the file with "4" instead of "auto"...

... will that mess up things that the Android OS previously did with what it thought was "sdcard" ?
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
Has anyone figured out how to boot to the sdcard cw recovery that seems to be present based on the files on /boot??? I actually did get it to boot into clockworks once but of course that time I didn't the GAPPS in the right directory to be able to flash them... I rebooted and ccopied the GAPPS zip to the right dir and then can't figure out how I got it to boot to clockworks recovery the first time... trying from rom manager ends up booting CM7, rebooting and choosing recovery also ends up in CM7 instead of recovery... If I hadn't gotten it to work once I'd believe it couldn't be done... but I did get to it that once....
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Yes, maybe. For example when I ran Titanium Backup the backups were on original sdcard. Then when I ran it again the backups are now on the extended partitions. Since it could not find the Backup folder it reported that there were no backups. When I ran the batch file again it rewrote out to my extended partition.

You definitely want it on the extended partition. For example when I used ES File Exploxer to stream from a window server it wrote a hugh temp file to limited auto partition. Now the stream temp file will be written to the extended partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Okay, I did all this - thanks to all who provided suggestions like Easeus and Notepad++ - and the "sdcard" in the storage is listed as having 6gb now.

SO, how do I access this area ?

None of the usual methods that work when you have the ROM in the eMMC (putting the card in your PC, or connecting NC using USB) work here.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I had this experience. Which I copied from an earlier post of mine. "I just redid it again. Now the Android finds that expanded partition. Still have initialize, ignore, or eject option on the mac with MyNOOKColor showing. PC only sees MyNOOKColor. Guess I will have to use ADB to load files from windows 7. What do you think?

I pulled the card from the nook and put the card in a usb adapter. Now in the mac I see boot and untitled. The untitled being my expanded partition (yea). In window 7 usb adapter only sees boot. EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition see all the partitions."

The redid it meant this was the second time I went through the procedure. When I reverse the auto to 4, that is 4 to auto, the mac could see expanded partition but the android file managers could not. Do it again caused the reverse, Android see, mac not. However when I pulled the card and put in a usb adapter the mac could find the extended partition. I guess the only way in windows is too push thing with adb. I am new at adb, so I am trying to figure that out now.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
None of my methods from above are too good. Reversing the 4 to auto lets the mac see without pulling the card. I can then write to it. Then setting auto back to 4 lets the android find it but not the mac.

Pulling the card and putting in a usb adapter allows the mac to see the extended partition. I can then copied to it and then put in back in nook without the above trick.

On pc I will try to pursue adb techniques. If you know what I should do, let me know?
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Same issues here. I am unable to get into recovery at all with the SD in. When it reboots to go into recovery it sees the SD card and boots CM7 normally.

How are you supposed to flash gapps if you cant get into recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
How do I in windows 7 use adb to push a folder with mp3s to the expanded sd card partition?

Edit: This is what I figured out. Is there a different or better way? Getting it to mount directly in windows would be easier, but I can not figure out how.

Pushed a file (optional name or new name after /sdcard/ - in folder example I left optional name out)

adb push VulkanoPlayer.apk /sdcard/VulkanoPlayer.apk (note: could install directly but I wanted an example for moving a file)

Pushed a folder Neil Young Harvest to music directory with other albums in it

First zip it with the spaces in the folder name.

Rename the zip, Neil Young Harvest.zip, replacing spaces with _. Its name now is Neil_Young_Harvest.zip.

adb push Neil_Young_Harvest.zip /sdcard/music/

Used ES File Explorer to locate zip file. Long press and use extract to current path. The Neil Young Harvest folder with spaces is now in the music directory
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
I would have believed it would never work except for 2 reasons... folks have used bootable CWR cards for a while... and it booted to CWR the Once for me...

To get the GAPPS use the instructions we had to use for Honeycomb;

http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market

But wold be a lot easier if CWR would work...
