Has anyone tried out kernel-usbhost-176?
Sent from my Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet using XDA Premium HD app
That is the Kernel that I have been using this entire time, with 1.1.2
It has been working fantastic.
if [ "$(cat /sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode)" == 0 ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode;
else
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode;
fi

I compiled the latest version with usbhost patch and I've put a ramdisk that I think should work with all versions (glow and no glow).
Also upload the file to install the normal kernel with the same modified ramdisk (the previous failed on glow version).
Now I'm very short for time and I have not been able to test, but I prefer to upload it, and in case anyone is encouraged to try, please, confirm proper operation so others can use it.
If only need the kernel, you can get it from the boot folder on the zip.

How do I go about installing either one of these zip files? I searched all over, and I am just unable to find the right commands to do so. Quite the novice with doing this, but am eager to learn.
With the help of guevor's instructions in the beginning of this thread, I think I got it with just the uImage file from one of the earlier builds.
I'm wanting to install the fastmode, and maybe usb host, hack, and just don't know how to.
I'm also wondering if it would be the same commands to install these zip files from osowiecki?

I was wondering what would be the best way to sideload apps to my NST, and remembered that I could go to the Google Play Store, and download then install directly from there. Didn't see this in any of the threads and just thought I should share this information.
to install these zip's you have to :
-prepare a mSDcard with CWR on it
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360994
-place zips on mSD
-run CWR and select "install zip from sdcard"
My zips contain 2 sh scripts. Put them in /sdcard/gscript.
This is a somewhat dirty workaround for the problem of FastMode.apk not working under FW 1.2.
Install 'Gscript.apk' and than run toggle.sh with it to swich FastMode on and off.
When this fast mode is active, I cannot see shades of gray, I see only colors composited from black and white dots.
Is that what I have to see ?
Thank you

I have been having this same issue. It started only after installing the 1.76 kernel a couple of days ago. Is it possible that this kernel makes the IR more sensitive? Cleaning the touch surface does clear up the problem, but it was not a problem at all with the stock kernel. I installed the 1.2.1 version of the B&N firmware before rooting using NookManager graphical rooter. Perhaps the touch screen driver has been modified in 1.2.1 and that is what is causing this weird behavior.
I noticed intermittent sensor problems on my 2 NSTs after updating to this kernel, so was leery and rolled them both back to stock. At this point, I started paying more attention.I have been having this same issue. It started only after installing the 1.76 kernel a couple of days ago.
