Thanks for the quick reply. hmmm... that's what I asumed. Any chance of one being put together? PM me if you need logs or a tester. Just curious, but are there any physical keyboard keystrokes to acomplish getting around the menu system? Arrow keys didn't seem to work, but the back button did.

I didn't see a warning anywhere about using twrp on the Slider(sl101), and I've been getting the weirdest bug everytime I've tried to use twrp. The recovery installs corectly. Once booted into it, touching any of the buttons results in nothing. I tried random positions and found a couple spots...

Thanks for the quick reply, but I am only mounting /system/ as r/w. The file IS being changed, the actual change to the LCD density setting is there and persists. The nook just ignores it and loads 161. EDIT: I just tried adb pulling build.prop, changing the LCD density in notepad++, and adb...

I know this will sound crazy, but when I edit the build.prop file with root explorer to change the LCD density, then after a hard reboot the nook reverts to default settings. As in, I change the LCD setting to ANYTHING, and after a hard reboot the nook ALWAYS boots to 161 LCD density. Soft...

Watch out for 32GB SD-cards. Some do not work right in the nook color. Electronic ghosts and what-not. A 16GB Sandisk class 2 or 4 is advisable.

The latest one. The past 50 or so nightlies have been rock solid for me.

I seem to remember that titanium backup's app data restore does not work for CM7, only restoring the app itself works. The restore in CWM will REVERT you back to when you backed up, undoing everything you've done since.

ROM manager is nice for doing incremental updates. What you want to know how to use is clockwork mod. I'm in the car ATM, but I'll be at my computer in 15 or so. I'll write up what you need. Sent from my Vortex using Tapatalk pro OK, first turn on wifi. Then, from within Rom manager check...

To be honest, the rooted stock OS is pretty bad. You'll figure that out for yourself. If you plan on using the NC to read, primarily the magazines because they more or less require the stock OS, then there is no real need for CM7. Though if you plan on using it as a tablet, which it does very...

I believe the decision to integrate device checks into the market was to relieve developers of the major hassle of possibly thousands of support claims and returns due to actual device incompatibility. Also the main reason: fighting fragmentation of the OS. With honeycomb out and IC coming out...

The switch makes the 5gig media partition mount as 'sdcard' and the physical SD-card mount as 'emmc', so yes anything that says or deals with the sd-card will now affect the 5gig media partition. That is if you enable the settings option, and then do a reboot.

I'm using windows, but when I say status bar I mean the one on the nook. you don't need to use that app anymore for just connecting to the sd-card and 5gig media partition. Once you plug in the cable and activate usb storage in the android status bar, you will see two removable drives connect...

Well if the nook boots and runs just fine without the SD-card inserted, then we can be pretty certain that something on the card is messed up. Lot's of possibilities: Corrupted .apk file, partially corrupted file structure on the SD-card itself, Hell it could also be auto-update panicking...

How low do you have the voltage settings in tweaks? Having a voltage just barely too low for your CPU can cause a lot of weirdness. Also, it could be any one of the stepping voltage settings, not necessarily either the min/max frequency.

shot in the dark... In CM7 when you plug the nook into the computer to access the SD-card and the internal 5gigs, a task is added to the status bar it doesn't auto mount. It asks if you want to mount to the usb. Just select the task and then press the start button. If that's not it, try...

Found this while doing a little looking around for external batteries. a 16,000 mAhr battery The thing has five usb ports on it! Supporting up to 2.4amps while charging. It's more on the expensive side, but damn 16 amp hours. That's four full charges for the nook, or fifteen or so for your...

The perceived weight differences is probably caused by the way in which the two devices are held. Since the nook is smaller, you hold it more with your fingers rather than your palm. If you're conceptualizing the weight via the torque you feel on your wrist then the device more held with the...

For a couple months now I've been looking for a pair of external speakers for my nook color and cell phone. I saw an Engadget blurb about these BoomCans and decided to roll the dice. I picked up two of them, black and blue, and have had several hours to mess with 'em today. Here is a link to...

What cpu scaling setting are you running? settings>cyanogenmod settings>performance>cpu. Try InteractiveX. It scales the CPU up based on both touch input and program demand. It's noticeably more of a battery hog than Conservative, but I guess that's the trade-off. But yes, you are not alone...

The AI is decent. Luck of the draw is the real power player in this game. I've been owned within turn 7, and visa-versa. The skill comes in when/what you select to sacrifice to create resources, and how you manage your deck in the editor. I have not really tried out the multi-player much...

I installed Shadow Era yesterday... and I've been hooked since. In short, it's a dumbed down version of Magic: The Gathering, faster/less cards/slightly different mana-cast style. It runs great on the nook (CM7-N165 is what I'm running), though you must be online to play which is a small...

Just tried it out on mine, running cm7 N157, and it's a no go for me. the game crashes right as the movie starts. Any tips for getting past that? Sent from my Nook Color using Tapatalk pro

Ehh, I would question the ability of the nook to power the device properly. Take a look at the new seagate GoFlex. It has a built in battery and wifi. $200 for 500gigs is a bit much, but 5 hours of battery is really nice. Sent from my Nook Color using Tapatalk pro

Do you have the latest ClockworkMod installed? 3.2.0.1 if I remember right.

Anyone else having the issue of while in the google+ app and in any txt entry box, of swype but working properly? examples: The prediction bar will only flash after a swipe, not display options of what I may have swiped. Typing individual letters is really screwed up. It will either replace...

I've had luck with either 'ro.product.model=HTC Vision' 'ro.product.manufacturer=HTC' or 'ro.product.model=Nexus S' 'ro.product.manufacturer=samsung' Should be the only two you need. I've only ran into a couple app that don't show up in the market. But, web-install from the market's web site...

Cool stuff. I also use my nook while backpacking/geo-caching. I live in michigan though, and even when we have sun, it's not that much for a solar charger. I'm looking into getting one of the fuel cell chargers, like the SiGNa's mobile-H2. here's a write up about it...

This circle's idea is pretty nice. Especially for those of us who perhaps enjoy organizing a little too much. I'm really interested to see how the user experience develops as people add +'s and profile information. Add me, or don't, w/e. Zachary Vig...

Just run "fix permissions" within rom manager or clockwork and hard reboot (hold power button till the nook turns off). That should fix it. Sent from my Nook Color using Tapatalk pro

Do you run an auto-task killer app? Because if so you're trading very short term memory savings for a boat load of processor time. Ever since Froyo, and especially Gingerbread, Google made significant changes to the idle-memory allocation management and active-process management logic. All...

I'll try out google+ if there are still invites going around. Thanks in advance. [email protected] Sent from my Nook Color using Tapatalk pro

I'm having an interesting issue with the tablet tweeks mod, specifically the hide button, and wanted to bring a little attention to it. I'm getting the hide button appearing without a full screen request. Most notably on the home screens and within the occasional app, no real pattern. I don't...

The nook's gpu is a power-vr sgx, it's just the name given to the hardware line. only some games will have the option for that particular install file. For everything else, use the galaxy S or galaxy tab version. Almost all gamesloft games require a hefty amount of storage on your sd card...

The reason why we are not able to see all of the apps on the market is because the nook color was not given an imei number by b&n. This situation leaves the market guessing as to what/who your device is, and exactly what apps it should see. Unfortunately this leaves us few courses of action...

Same thing is happening top me when I open the app, so it's not just you. I'm going to try a couple different modifications to the build.prop device/manufacturer and see if that fixes anything. I'll post any progress. Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

I've been using 187 for about a month now. I think it looks nice, and really helps with the close-to-edge unresponsiveness by having slightly bigger objects to poke. I enjoy spending unreasonable amounts of time crafting custom UI's, and certain setups really pop with higher LCD density...

Running: nightly-87, 1.2Ghz 5/23 OC kernel. Stable as a rock, and running significantly faster than nightly 60-something I came from. my system would not deep sleep at all, didn't have any battery problems. The method of enabling on/off screen animations, then hard rebooting fixed it right...

Hey Dalingrin, concerning the conservative profile. Any developer insight you can provide as to a happy medium with respect to the cpu freqUP/DOWN settings? '95 up' on the governor settings seems and feels a bit sluggish, especially with the cpu set at 300-1200 GHz. looks like these two...

I just went from 7.0.2, to nightly eighty-seven. Using the 1.2GHz 5/23 OC kernel. I did not wipe data/system, only formatted cache/Delvik-cache. I'm seeing a SIGNIFICANT increase in system performance, screen and window transitions mainly, also App launches seem slightly faster. Which surprises...

I'm on nightly-87, Dal's 1.2GHz OC Kernel 5/23, and I'm experiencing something very similar. I went from 7.0.2 to N87 without a hitch, but I immediately started to see the WiFi icon go gray and lose it's connection. I was forced to restart WiFi as a remedy. As of today I'm getting something...

If you can get back into the market, install another launcher, or uninstall then reinstall zeam. That should reset the first home button press to select launcher.

when you reboot, just hold down the pwr button till it turns off.

I mainly use mine for couch surfing (dolphin HD in desktop mode). Gunbros and Meteor blitz are nice distractions. Though it does seem I spend a lot of time maintaining the OS, CM7, updates and what not. Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

To be honest, both CM7 and less so nookie froyo, are for power users. It may be easy to install, but maintaining and upgrading can be a hassel for people who don't keep up to date with this forum, or android central. However much of a clusterf*ck the stock rom is, atleast there is no...

Yeah the touch screen freeking out while charging is a known issue. It happens on mine. Though, there are reports that it may be the charger it self. I remember a post a week or so back where someone said that they warranty returned their charger and then the screen issues were fixed. I...

Try option number 3 in the thread I made in the general forum. the clockworkmod recover + stuck at " " screen. Flashing cwm via rom manager can cause corrupted /boot partition Sent from my Vortex using Tapatalk

Hmm haven't seen anything like that yet. I'll have to type up a short story or something in AK pad and see if anything happends.

Booted up this time. I only wiped dalvik-cache On first boot BT does not start up. Fixed permissions via rom-manager and rebooted. BT now turns on, and stays on. So I guess that's an improvement. I'm going to try various resets and see if this persists. I'll just edit this post. EDIT 1...

Well a copy of my guide has been posted to the general forum, where it will live on in a much more noticable fashion.
