Damn i cant restore my stock swype... anyone have the apk?
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
We're not allowed to give you it as it's a paid app and if you did want the stock version, you'd have to install a rom that has the stock version (syndicate, Bonsai). It's the only reason I left MidNIGHT rom.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
darn.. wish i i knew that before i did this lol
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Heres the stock one I pulled from one of Vipers ROM's.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20775362/Swype.apk

Just put it in system/app and it should work fine.

Swype isn't ROM specific Overstew. Any of them can use Swype.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
crap... that's f/cing too. even after a reboot\

do i have to replace libSwypecore.so also?
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
Yeah, you do need that.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I guess you wont do that again!
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
Nope. The beta didn't add much of anything
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I tried the beta and it felt just like my preinstalled Swype, so I went back to Syndicate, which includes the preinstalled swype. :P
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i've forgotten how much i hate the regular on screen keyboards... or the hardware one for that matter. i gotta get swype up and running again =(

Hopefully the author (verygreen) will be able to post here and support users, especially since this is the first public SD build of CM7. I plan on trying this myself tonight, but since i am at work, i cannot do so yet. Any feedback will be great for the author and community.

Have at it folks!

awesome work! I think i may wait until it's incorporated into the CM7 nightlies as I like running from eMMC rather than SD, but good to see this getting going.!

good to see range up to 13'!

planning on trying this out as soon as I get home. one question. what happens with the rest of the space on an 8 gig SD card? is it accessible?
[Nook Color Android Development] bitnerd:
You can just resize the 4th partition to take advantage of the whole card - otherwise it's lost

Sadly I booted it up fine and it looks great but I couldn't get bluetooth to turn on on my Nook. I also couldn't get it to connect to my WPA2 wireless so I had to reboot back to my usual OS. Looks promising, though
[Nook Color Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
Same thing happened to me a when i tried this as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
Just to dispel before rumors start or people say it doesn't work, based on what I read, it is 13" (inches). Think the original discussion said possibly 1-5 feet. Don't want people to walk 10 feet with their headset on and say there's issues...

GREAT WORK DEVS!

I wish I had a BT keyboard or gamepad to try this out right now. This is definetely one of the most important developments in Nook Clor history. The (affordable) ultra-portable hybrid netbook has finally become a reality. A huge hanks to everyone involved!!
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
how would I extend the partition? Through Disk Utility? I'm on a mac.
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
When I made my HC image, I had to use fusion and grab the partition app everyone on here uses for windows. All the terminal or disk utility commands said card was unwriteable. I bet there is a Linux utility that terminal will support, but I did not find it.

Good luck. Will post the app name when I am at my computer.

[Nook Color Android Development] riceknight:
Sorry for the noob question, but is there any way I can get market on this? Not sure how to do it running off SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
for some reason it isn't booting into cm7. I guess I am going to format the card and try again. Would the best way to format it just be to do it directly on the nook?

also easeus worked with windows bootcamp. It was easy to increase the partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] mathrock:
I use parted and gparted on Linux to resize SD card image partitions.
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
got it running. seems to be running fine.

I know this is a stupid question because I'm sure it is answered somewhere but I couldn't find it. Does CM7 come with the market or do I need to download it? If so, from where? Thanks!

edit : OK I actually did find the answer. You have to flash the GAPPS separately. Instructions/Download link here.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide

Haven't actually tried this yet, I am about to. But it should work. Crosses fingers.
[Nook Color Android Development] stilger:
I was able to get Market working on this SD image using the Honeycomb market fix:

http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market

The only thing I did different was get the more recent gapps.

BTW - Thanks to verygreen for the first SD version of CM7 I was able to find.

I could not get Bluetooth to work (didn't spend alot of time.).

More Technical Information Proceed at your own risk

To extend the 4th partition I inserted the card into my Linux box and then deleted the 4th partition and then recreated it will all the space and then formated it with mkfs.vfat

# unmount all mounted partitions on the sdcard (A# is your sdcard letter like) sdd
umount /dev/sdA#
umount /dev/sdA#
# etc..
cfdisk /dev/sdA
# Delete 4th partition
# Recreate 4th partition as primary with all remaining space
# Set 4th partition type to 0C (same as 1st partiton)
# Write changes to disk
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdA4 #Should be the number of the new partition you set up.

It also mounted the first fat32 partition as my SDCard. I had to modify /etc/vold.fstab and change the mount partition from auto to 4 to get it to see the partition 4 fat32 partition.

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 reboot

Hope this helps and does not confuse!

Has anyone successfully updated this SD CM7 to a more recent CM7 build that supports DSP? I updated Dalingrin's kernel to the latest but evidently DSP support requires more of the environment than just the kernel. I'd really appreciate it if someone had instructions on how to update (preferably in-place and non-destructively) to the most recent CM7.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Verygreen (the author of this ROM) posted some steps, but admittedly, they can be a bit daunting if you aren't comfortable with Linux (and impossible if you are in windows):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12131336&postcount=172
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Thanks! I'm completely comfortable under Linux. Maybe I'll copy my current install from my 8GB card to my 4GB card and upgrade there so I don't risk borking my primary image. If all goes well I can copy back to the larger/faster card. Of course, I don't strictly *need* DSP right now--it was more of a curiosity--so I may just enjoy my NC and wait and see what happens.

Is there a way to remove ADW launcher and install the Zeam-softkeys combo? I'm coming from froyo and I just can't get used to it.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Just install them from the Market. You don't even have to remove ADW.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Just install zeam and softkeys and it will ask you what you want your default launcher to be.
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
Basically in the setperm call first two arguments are userid and groupid and third is mode. so for your example you'd do two commands:

chown 3002:3002 file

chmod 06755 file

Ah, I see you figured that out, I need to learn to read better. Also use root instead of uid 0 or gid 0

I think the nightlies now offer 'basic" video support. So, I'll be updating my SD card image this weekend as per the instructions on page #18 this weekend to see if works. :cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
The accelerated video only works if your audio is via bluetooth only.

The problem with video turned out to be due to audio.

But the main dev is going away for a spring break, so don't expect a fix soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
So... I'm still screwing up somewhere. I made a bash script that sets up all of the permissions and symlinks (408 lines), yet I'm still having issues getting ANYTHING I try to boot successfully :( I figured if I made a script it make it easier to update the SD card daily and put out images.

When you said "update...zip", did you mean one of the ones from here? http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=encore

Basically, what I've been doing is copying everything from cm_encore_full-23/system* to the SD card's /system parition (/media/d9....ce for me); then copying the kernel to the boot partion, and made permissions changes as the updater-script suggests.

Verygreen, feel free to PM me if you want to collaborate or have any advice to offer.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I'm not sure that you absolutely need softkeys, because the status bar in CM7 has back and menu.

However, thanks for the reminder.

I did some exploring and reading and I would say that ADW Launcher and Launder Pro are designed for little phones with little screens - not for tablets.

I think that many Nook Color users who have Android phones are simply used to them.

I tried Zeam and it is so much easier - not to mention cleaner.

It is better suited to tablets.

1024x600 means not needing more than one home screen.

PS After installing Zeam, I went into the CM7 settings and in Applications, I force closed ADW and cleared out all its data.

Since doing all this, my NC is more stable too.
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
I can't speak for ADW Launcher (Haven't used it), but Launcher Pro does work on tablets, and scales to it accordingly. It still uses the 4 row/4 column setup by default, but you can change it so icons fit more densly (like my 6x7 setup).
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
Thank You!!

I personally am not comfortable with Flashing on to EMMC because it makes it really hard to fix if something goes wrong and also makes it really Hard to erase all evidence of Hacking if it needs to go in for Repairs.

Instead I stick to running everything off of a MicroSD, I haven't even Rooted my Stock. Also using DD to image my MicroSD cards regularly/before any updates or Mods, makes screwing the Installs up near-impossible because I can just Quickly reflash the Backup with zero headache.

I have Two MicroSDs, One Loaded with Froyo (My Everyday use card), and Another Loaded with Honeycomb(The Card I experiment with).

When you get the new CW7 Image ready I'll Flash it to my Latter card(Imaging the Honeycomb first ofcourse).

Just wanted to say thanks because I've been wanting to try Gingerbread but all the CW7 Installs were for EMMC and not SD. Sucks that they still don't have Videos working right though(From what I've read you have to have Bluetooth Audio Out, which I don't have)

Looking forward to it. I'll personally update the Nookdevs Wiki to Include an SD card HowTo for CW7. GoodLuck :)

my nook refuses to go to sleep. running and wifi are at 100% in spare parts. any idea? its killing my battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
How is it that someone who has never rooted their Nook, and joined XDA only 4 months ago, has permission to change the Nookdevs Wiki ??

( Just curious, I'm not bothered by it. )
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
The ADW Launcher does all that - it "works" on tablets.

The problem is that the design - and all its huge number of features and settings - are all designed for a tiny screen, often something like 320x240.

That is why Android Launchers usually have 5 or more desktops. You never see a Windows PC with more than one desktop, because 1024x768 obviously fits all your icons and widgets. The Nook has 1024x600 and the 10" tablets have yet more.

In my case, with ADW Launcer, I constantly find that I press on an icon and instead of launching, I hit enough of the background to cause the whole desktop to move right or left - it is like trying to pick up an oily bean - highly annoying. The desktop scrolling cannot be turned off - even if you delete all desktops but one.

It also has a lot of bloat, and I have significantly less FCs after removing it, and many people have reported that Zeam works faster since it is simpler.

But, it is cool to use whatever one is familiar with (especially if your phone has the same setup).
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Having used both extensively, I disagree. I find LP's support of 10x10 grids make it a better choice on larger screens than Zeam's 8x8 grids. I do prefer Zeam's dock, but LP's scrolling dock works well enough.

You can easily turn off the desktop scrolling in LP if you only need one of them, too. I only use one.
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
Yes, this one looks like the right one.

Make sure that you don't copy the ramdisk image (uRamdisk) along with the kernel. If you do, the rc.encore.init in the update is geared towards eMMC locations.

One commonly available debug technique you might employ is after the boot failed (I guess just sitting there at some stage appearing hung), remoe the sd card, stick the usb cable into a computer, press the power button on the nook for ~8 seconds (the screen backlight will go dark, as soon as it does, release the power button). It'll then reboot.

let it boot into the eMMC, connect with adb shell and see /proc/last_kmsg content for clues of what went wrong.

Trouble Running the Market/GApps Fix

Hello all,

Sorry to be such a beginner but I am hoping to get a little help here. I'm trying to get the method shown at http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market to work and having a lot of trouble. I'm using wireless adb, I've downloaded the zips and I can't get past running the following command "unzip gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip". BTW after I have downloaded that zip of the google apps archive, where do I put it in order for the ADB commands to work?

I do have ADB working because I was able to run the reboot command and get the desired result. When I run the first unzip command though, it returns a message...

'unzip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Since I can't get past that first line, can someone explain for me and the others who may be having trouble, what it is I might be doing wrong? Help is greatly appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
The author is not writing from a Windows perspective, I believe, or else he has a zip program setup in DOS with a PATH command.

In any event, if you have ADB setup with the PATH modified to support it, it doesn't matter where you unzip it on your PC, as long as you start your command window in the same folder where you started the unzip (the top folder which is used by the folder hierarchy in the zip file).

Also, it you look at the very first link on that page, and scroll down to the bottom, where he indicates, the latest ones are now 20110307 .... 0120 will probably work, but I thought it made sense to get the latest version, since that is what the web page is entitled !

[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Great job again verygreen. I'll definitely give this a try and let you know how it goes.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
How does that compare to:

Clockwork Recovery for Flashing CM7 to SDcard + More!
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
That other development extends on the already existing SD card image.

So you still need the SD card image, be it from this original thread or the new size-agnostic one.

The size-agnostic one would also allow you to use unmodified CM7 zip files.

Updating is not super easy yet, but I hope to improve that.

Also we might combine forces and have recovery working on SD card images too which would be great.
[Nook Color Android Development] FroztIkon:
BT took a few tries to actually get it to start, but once it did it stayed. I've rebooted and powered off and BT is working. On a side note, I know most roms mention the lack of video due to codec and driver issuses, however again it works. Maybe a fluke, I don't know.

I've seen the froyo group of roms that have no problem with youtbe and no support yet in hc. But isn't hc 2.3?

a bootable "stock" SD?

I'd like to know whether it would be possible to create a bootable SD card with a "stock" B&N system on it. I'd like to run a custom rom in the internal emmc to have the best possible performance.

However, occasionally, I wouldn't mind going into a B&N and taking advantage of in-store services.

If someone could point me in the right direction I don't mind experimenting. Perhaps, it would be a combination of the "installer for SD Cards"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12240928

and the "1.0.0, 1.0.1 or 1.1.0 restore to stock files"

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

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
Should be pretty easy I think.

The easiest way: if you have 8g uSD card, just do a binary copy of your mmc to the SD card. (from adb shell: dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1024k).

Extract the uSD card, mount partition one, unpack uRamdisk (on your Linux box:

mkdir /tmp/image ; cd /tmp/image ; dd if=/somewhere/uRamdisk bs=64 skip=1 | gunzip -c | cpio -i)

in the /tmp/image in the rc.init file (or a similar name) replace all occurences of mmcblk0 to mmcblk1

pack the image back (cd /tmp/image ; find . -regex "./.*"| cpio -ov -H newc | gzip > /tmp/ramdisk.img)

add the u-boot header (mkimage -A ARM -T RAMDisk -n Image -d /tmp/ramdisk.img /tmp/uRamdisk) (get mkimage from u-boot build)

put the resulting /tmp/uRamdisk to the root of first partition your SD card instead of uRamdisk there

Now mount partition #5 on the SD card, in the etc/vold* find and replae all occurrences of mmcblk0 to mmcblk1

unmount everything.

You now have bootable SD card that would boot into the same image you have in your nook's mmc (at the time you did the initial dd)
[Nook Color Android Development] mckooter:
this sounds like something I would love, I flash my emmc but would love a way to boot to stock b&n, (not even rooted) if you get this working please post a release of it. if not i can try to whip one up (once i free up one of my sd's)
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I think that a version that was just an image from a stock NC updated to 1.1.0 would be highly popular !
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I believe that this hasn't been released as an independent rom yet is because it contains B&N proprietary software. A legal issue people tend to want to stay away from.

But if someone was to create an automated process where it will DD your partitions onto an sdcard. Then I dont see a problem with that since you wont be distributing the rom itself.

I could be wrong. Just my 2 cents.
[Nook Color Android Development] play3r:
Unfortunately, I've already rooted and taken other steps to prevent automatice OTA. I was hoping to find a way to independently create a stock (unrooted, etc) B&N 1.1.0. If I knew what I knew now, I would have used CyanogenMod recovery from a bootable SD to backup before I did anything else.

I hadn't thought of the legal/proprietary issues. :(

Guess I will labor in the shadows on a process.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I've been messing with Android in an Emulator for awhile but had no actual Android device (Couldn't afford one) Until now I didn't feel I had the right (or need) to make an acount. I got a Nook Color as a Gift and started hacking it from Day one, which was about when they started getting ROMs running on the NC (I just haven't Rooted my Stock, Which I remind is not necesarry). Needless to say I now had a reason and am now fairly expirienced hacking this thing.

Besides Nookdevs is an Open Wiki (Just like Wikipedia) so anyone can edit it as long as they follow the Rules and don't post anything stupid.
