In the "Nook Color General" sub forum there is a guide to install CM7 by user Eyeballer which includes instructions for making a bootable CWM sd. Also in that subforum is a guide for returning to stock. Sorry I'm not at a computer to post the links for you.

[Q] CM7

Just installed "CyanogenMod-7 for ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) :: V7.0.0-RC4 (30/03/2011)"
Firstly, many thanks for making this great rom. Instructions very easy to follow, even I could do it (my first smart phone, only had it 5 days so yes, it’s all very new to me).
Anyway, can someone please help me? On my old Orange rom, when sending a text (which is what I do a lot of) my “send to many logo” is missing from the CM7 rom (see pics). How can I get this back? It's driving me nut!
Try Another SMS App Like GOSMS or Handcent SMS
Rebooting and Battery usage
My zte with CM7 seems to use alot more battery than the original ROM i had. anyone else?
It will also reboot when the battery is lower than 30%. anybody know why?
The current CM7 rom is faulty, don't flash it....i'm also waiting for a more stable one. This rom is not so reactive to accelerometer so if you play games such as doodlejump, it won't work so don't flash the rom, instead you can flash this froyo, it's quite fast as well ! FLB froyo R11
Gen2
Hi All
Just flashed my Blade to Gen 2 yesterday and installed CM7 Gen2 .
On previous CM7 Final Gen 1, I had reboots and freezing on boot screen but
have had no issues since the new installation. Plays games very well.

Edit: Just upgraded CM7 to 7.0.2 and on reboot phone was stuck on boot screen and had no arrow
to swipe nor would menu button work other than to put phone in standby. Had to uses stock recovery to get cm7 to load and now
cannot get beyond the the Droid screen when trying to restore/backup. Will not enter clockwork recovery no matter what I try.
Can load CM7 basic but no google apps and unable to load gapps because I cannot enter clockwork recovery. Can any suggest a way out.
Use rom manager to install the latest clockwork mod

So what's best for now: staying Gen 1 with CM7 v7.0.0 or turning into Gen2 and get v7.0.2 ?

HI
Thanks for the reply but I have tried to download the latest ClockworkMod via Rom Manager and the same thing happens it tries to update and then freezes
on the droid screen. I can't get to the market as I cannot load gapps because
of the lack of ClockworkMod recovery. Catch 22 time. Any other suggestions greatly received.

Hi HCDR.Jacob
Me again. Have just found out why I cannot load ClockworkMod Recovery or any other recovery. Ran Androot 1.6 andgot reply, when I tried to unroot - Not Rooted.
So I ran Androot and got the following "Rooted - No - Fu - Goo". Yet Balde is running CM7 . Question is now how do I root the blooming thing or is that a no go?
Please advise.

(Douglas)
Edit: Have found possible fault is corrupt firmware. I s there any way to flash the firmware on the Blade to original state and if so how?
Google for no fu goo m8, it's a very common response and can sometimes be solved.

Hi
Thanks for that but info garnered no where near to solving prob. Managed to find z4Root and ran that and it informs me I am still rooted. Problem is that I cannot access ClockworkMod Recovery and rom manager is stuck on 3.0.2.0 and will not upgrade to 4.2.0.0 which is the latest as far as I can ascertain. Do you know of any way to get ClockworkMod back onto my Blade so that I cam upgrade CM to 7.0.2 and get google apps back.

I just upgraded my ZTE Blade to 7.0.2 using the latest Rom Manager (from 7 RC3) ... now my Blade just keeps booting only showing the Droid Logo for about 4 secs and that loops forever. I wasn't aware of any Gen1 vs. Gen2 thing. And am still not sure what this exactly is.
Is there anyway to fix this, or is the device bricked?
Any ideas? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Thx.

Just gave you a possible tweak on your thread but please don't just splash your problem onto the other threads, as this is most likely to create confusion. If somebody can help you, he will answer you in the right thread: the one you opened.
Also a first look at similar topic or a quick search would have avoided this kind of situation. Even the first guide for flashing a custom ROM on the OSF clearly states a warning on the Gen1/Gen2 thing...

I wouldn't have cross-posted if the topic wasn't CM7. Maybe it stops someone to make the same mistake -> see below.

Didn't know about the site and wasn't aware of the Gen1/Gen2 issue.
I wanted to show a friend (iPhone owner) how easy it is to update the firmware using ROM Manager over a beer and simple downloaded CM7.0.2 using ROM Manager, not being aware of any Gen1/Gen2 issues...
well EPIC FAIL!
So, thx for the url and won't be crossposting again.

Can't imagine your friend's face facing your endlessly rebooting phone. Indeed pretty epic

I've installed this ROM (CM7.02Nightly57 + CWM 3.0.2.7) yesterday, but having some troubles:
- the battery is duying very fast
- the pulldown menu can not be pulled up easy in normal mode. When in landcape it works nice, but when in portrait, it is stuck in the bottom, and you can pull it up after several times, or have to press back button
anyone has issues like this?

Autonomy issues have already been widely reported for 7.0.2, most people I have read from went back on CM7.0 stable because of that.
For the menu, this might be a new issue. Perhaps check on CM7 forum to see if it has been reported yet and whether a fix has been found yet.

HELP - market place is not shown!

I searched this forum, found some similar issues, but none of them worked for me.
I have been using my nook color with cm7 (cm_encore_full-140.zip) from uSD card, and now I decided to install cm7 on the internal memory (emmc). I followed huskermania's guide on youtube (2gb_clockwork-0.7.img>format system/data/cache>copy and run both [update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip & gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip]), but I am missing the market app. When I searched this forum, many people are having same problems, and I am wondering whether anyone has any idea what to do. BTW I went to setting>account&sync, but it asked to add an exchange account instead of sign-in to google. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the reply, and CWR 3.0.0.5 was downloaded from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870). I actually was able to get a response from huskermania via tweet, re-install cm7 7.0.2 and problem was solved. After that, I updated it with a recent nightly build (cm_encore_full-148.zip). I hope this helps others.

[Q] How to Fix the problem after flashed the MIUI 1.9.16 ROM

Hi, all the geniuses. I just flashed the MIUI 1.9.16 into my Nook color today.. However,I couldnt normally access to the system. When I turn on my device, There is a dialog box said that "there is problem in android.process.acore". I tried to close this reminder several time but it kept coming up. So how would these happen? any solutions?Aslo, I am using the 3.0.2.8 CWM.so will this be a possible cause? Thanks!
Yes, Your CWM is out of date. Find the latest one 3.2.0.1. Also, there is a much newer MIUI 1.11.04 rom to try (which I happened to love).
Go to miui.us. click on Downloads. Click on Nook Color. Download the latest ROM.
If your need further instructions, post.

Did you see a difference between 1.9.16 and 1.11.4?
Could you tell us what seems better?

Yes, I see a difference. 1.11.4 is snappier and finally my nook doesn't do the occasional freeze up. A much more stable rom for me.

CM10 Menu?

So I took the plunge and put CM10 on my trusty nook. So far so good. I like it. Except that I can't seem to get the menu button to work. I've seen a few work arounds in other forums with other devises, but I don't know how to work it on my Nook. Any help would be much appriciated.

That was a bug in Beta 2. Try flashing the new Beta 3 and see if it works.

I had the same menu problem in beta 2, but beta 3 has corrected the issue. I did a complete wipe and reinstall with b3 and it is running great.

[Q] Need help installing play store and other things on rooted NC 1.4.3

Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!
Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.
