My battery charges very slowly. I'm using the factory nook cable and charger, CM7.2, light is orange while charging, charges all day and I get 2% charge increase. Currently at 12% charge, battery monitor widget needs at least 40% to work. Battery might have died, but then it's had a relatively...

It's about two (?) years old and version 1. Doubt it's under warranty anymore. Trying that. Thanks.

It isn't a generic USB cable, as it has a transformer on the micro USB end and says it's a dual USB / charger cable. It probably won't charge as fast as the OEM cable, but it's better than nothing.

My Nook is suddenly taking about 12+ hours to charge, with the OEM cable and plug. I couldn't get it to charge at all at first. I did finally get it fully charged, and it instantly jumped from 78% battery power to 30%. I had tried to clear the battery thing in recovery mode, which might have...

If I manually turn my screen off while charging (CM7), it immediately turns back on, and stays on. Not sure what's going on there but I'm having a number of odd issues with my Nook.

Just bought one of these on ebay for $3.63, free shipping. Will give a report on its performance when it arrives.

Has anyone tried to use a USB bluetooth dongle through host mode?

Bought one and just got it. It isn't powered, so I still have to use my broken NC USB cable, and the speakers are really weak. There's a volume control on the front, so I assume the speakers are powered, but the volume is very low with everything maxed out. In all, I'd say it's about worth no...

Has Bluetooth range improved with any of the current ROMs? I'd like to be able to send a signal about six feet to a bluetooth audio receiver. Possible?

To my knowledge, there's never been a consensus on whether removing Camera.apk, etc. improves battery life. Has this changed?

I have a very large right arm, so I'm good.

I tried turning off wifi sleep mode, which didn't work, but this did solve my issue. Thanks.

It boots to the home screen, which looks normal, works for about a second, and then locks up when the SD card icon in the systembar appears. Doesn't matter whether there's an SD card inserted. edit: Never mind. I just flashed a nightly over it and it fixed the issue. Mods, feel free to delete...

Be careful with huge wallpapers on wallbase. If the resolution is too high, they'll lock up your NC. Don't know what the limit is.

Installed and works great here, on NC. The only thing I have tweaked is the density settings.

Not really enough to compel me to upgrade. I'm fine with my current device.

Wasn't able to find one with a search at walmart.com,

The modded version had a special feature. Can't remember what it was, but I think it had to do with landscape mode. I was hesitant to upgrade.

I'm overclocked to 1.3ghz here in the latest 7.1.0 stable kernel. What is the preferred voltage setting for 1.3ghz? Mine is currently set at stock voltage 1.375v.

This one is on sale for $5. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, as I got inspired by this "Don't Panic" case graphic.

HN == Hacker News, sort of like the reddit for geeks.

It works on a Nook Color. Thanks for compiling a working version.

Found here, where newer builds are posted on Fridays at 1AM EST. Works here on CM7 7.1.0 RC1. Had a crash when trying to load a large directory, with a lot of files in it. Tested a sample 848x368 mp4 another forum member posted, that had frame drops in moboplayer, and it played perfectly.

^^ I didn't see anything new, until I cleared market data.

Here's a preset for handbrake I picked up somewhere on this forum. Wasn't able to find the thread with a search.

Is Netflix still working on the NC?

This post has the steps for the newer and older partitions. Make sure you have the latest versions of everything, would be my advice. Some people get that error when Gmail is syncing. You might try to turn off Gmail autosyncing to see if the error persists.

I'm at nightly 69. I hear that nightlies past 80 need a new uboot (or something like that). Is there a guide for updating to the newer nightlies? I can't seem to find anything with a search.

That's pretty neat.

Go Launcher Ex is pretty good. Themes, customizable icons, speedy app drawer.

I think any nightly at 82 or beyond requires a new boot loader, or some such, as the Linux kernel has been updated. You might also run into this battery issue with the new kernel. I could be wrong though; haven't had the time to look into it too much.

Same thing happened here, inside of the first week of use, and pieces continue to fall off.

I'm in the market for an e-reader. Hope it's a low priced version.

What version of CM7 are you running? My USB connectivity stopped working with nightly 69. It worked fine with 7.0.2.

Opera has a long history of rendering some pages poorly, or pages that render virtually identical in most other browsers will be broken in Opera. I still use Opera Mini exclusively though. The compression makes my Edge network seem like actual broadband. If I browse wallpapers at wallbase.cc...

Same here (nightly 69). I used to get two icons in the notification area on the NC, when USB was plugged in - a USB symbol and a little bug icon. Now I just get the USB symbol and tapping on it does nothing.

That works just fine. Thanks.

I upgraded from 7.0.2 to the nightly 69. Everything went fine, but I no longer have USB connectivity. Any advice on how I might get it working?

So you benefit when running a ROM off of the SD card, but not necessarily when using it to store files?

I'm going to need a new cable pretty soon. The end that plugs into the Nook has been cracking and falling apart. I'm guessing I'd have to get it direct from B&N?

I've been using a Patriot 8GB class 10 for a month or so without any problems. Must have gotten lucky. Bought mine at Newegg after being told that a lot of the SD cards at Amazon are fakes, for whatever that's worth.

The neon version is the one everyone recommends. It wasn't in the market for me, but once I installed it, it updates through the market (and there's an internal updater).

I'm pretty sure they just launched a new ad campaign for the current NC. It'd be odd to be coming out with an updated model at the moment.

I usually assign an up swipe to show/hide the notification bar. Can you long press on the desktop and get a preferences menu?

I just had some serious problems with trying to set a wallpaper on CM7 using perfect viewer. I'm paranoid about setting wallpapers in CM7 now. Seems very glitchy in that area.

Forgot to say, but I'm on CM7 7.0.2 at 1.3 ghz. I'm pretty sure it was Perfect Viewer's wallpaper handling, and CM7 does have issues with using 3rd party apps to set wallpapers. Sorry to derail the thread. Maxthon is a great browser.

I'm a bit OT here, but I installed this, and used it to set a wallpaper via Perfect Viewer, which borked my whole tablet. Not sure what's going on, but it boots, works for a minute or two at one frame per second, and then reboots itself. None of the remapped button popups work, so the only thing...

If the images are widescreen, you can set them as your wallpaper within your browser (dolphin works great, don't know of others) without cropping. If you want to crop, the Nook's dimensions are 1280x1024. edit: Be very careful when applying full sized wallpapers you've downloaded. If the...

Wallbase.cc. NSFW content elsewhere on the site.

Dodol wallpaper maker will work with any dimension image. Though it worked great in Eclair, but in Gingerbread it wants to reboot to set the wallpaper, but only in some cases.
