Is there a solution for the problem of music stuttering?
Don't just blame me for creating this thread.
I have asked this question for a solution in many threads.
Some said that it was a SD card problem with incorrect allocation size or cluster size.
I tried formatting my memory card from the cmd prompt with the following command-
format f: /fs:FAT32 /a:32K
But even after doing this I found no change in the issue.
I even did this with my other 2 SD cards, But the result is same.
I am using the stock 8gb Transcend microsd card got it with my HTC HD2.
I don't know its class details.
While, with the same evo builds, I have tried using the Nexus based Kernel, which resolves this issue but with sound very low.
Can some one help me to get out of my problem!
Thank you.
I think no one wants make a reply in this thread

Hi...I experienced that situation before. What I do is revert back to nexus kernel...
I think there is nothing to do with SD card, it is the stability problem of evo kernel since it is still in its premature stage.
Hope this help...cheers...

Thank you, But a day back I too just thought as you.
Here is the response I got for asking this question in mdeejay desire Hd 3.3a thread.

I tried it but it wasn't resolved.
Actually the problem is with kernel under Evo tree only.
Why because I came with a solution now,
I am now using stock nexus one based kernel out on 13th sep with this desire hd 3.3a. Now I don't have any kind of music stuttering.
Try once.
Correct me if I was wrong.

Finally, I came to a conclusion.
That this problem is really not with SD cards or builds, this is truly the problem of the latest EVO based kernels.
Why I came to this conclusion, I have tried each and every kernel released from 13th sep to till date. I found the problem is gone with all the nexus based kernels.

Have you Formatted your SD card and tested after doing that?
I'm getting this too, i have tried different cluster sizes and they have offered some improvement however there is the occasional stutter. Some people's logic that as it only happens on certain cards, the card must be the problem is clearly wrong. Surely if that card worked fine with the nexus kernel then it is infact the evo kernel tree causing this issue.
Dude,i tested like 10 different cards,and believe me,brand is the magic word,not class.....take a sandisk ultra 8 gb class 6 with 64 clustersize....no lag or stuttering,my adata,kingston class 6 stutters,how do you explain that? Well i can,my sandisk does 18-20mb/s and the other 2 10-12 mb/s......you do the matt....

It may be due to brand, however I also have a class 6 sandisk card, but surely that is irrelevant as the problem is kernel specific. Why would a card that works perfectly fine with the nexus kernels have problems with kernels based off the evo tree, would seem that the kernel is at fault. Also why would music stutter when you would need a read speed of less than 1MB/second to play a track with a bitrate of 320Kb/second... you do the math and don't insult my intelligence.
edit: I'm also using the 64KB cluster size.
Surely then in this case the EVO kernels have a severe problem with reading SD cards. It's not normal having to format the cards like that to be able to listen to music.

Hey dude! You are 100% correct.
I tried with different cluster sizes but my system doesn't supports to format my SD card with 64k cluster size.
It's the time for the developers to concentrate on the EVO KERNELS other than blaming the user's SD card.

I use an evo kernal and i get slight and minor skips when using the stock music app.
I dont get skips ands stutters when I use a different music app like rockbox.
I am not saying this will work for everyone. Its just what I do and It works fine for me
There must be something wrong, but I think it's more ROM specific than just the kernal. I had lots of problems with stuttering when using the Desire HD build. I've now changed to FroyoStone 3.1 which uses the EVO kernal tree and never had a problem. BTW I haven't formatted my SD card in about 6 months so I can't see how the problem can come and go if it was caused by that.

May be, but I haven't tried the froyostone sense 3.1 build. So, that I can't say anymore.
But I tried all the rest of the Evo builds and sense builds and Desire HD builds of Mdeejay, Sergio and Darkstone.
I am having this problem more or less.
But while changing to the nexus based kernel the problem completely went off. that's why I made this conclusion.
I'll try froyostone 3.1 and report you back.

I have to agree that the card can be the most likely cause for the stuttering. That isn't to say it is in your case, though. But, from my own recent experience, the card was the culprit of stuttering in one of my eVo-based builds. I was using the 16GB Sandisk Class 2 card that came with my HD2 and had serious stuttering. I switched over to an 8GB Sandisk class 4 card and the stuttering vanished. The build worked smoothly and the music played smoothly.
I don't think we are denying that it is occurring with certain cards, more stating that this issue shouldn't be happening and needs to be fixed rather than ignored by kernel devs.
Hi!
I know i'm not alone having this reboots, maybe we can help the developers by ruling out the SD card... or some SD cards...
Would be interesting to know who have had no reboots at all and what SD card brand they have.
Can as many as possible post their SD card:
Brand
Class
Size
I use a Kingston 8 GB class 6 and are having the reboots on every build i have ever tried. It does not matter who has made it.
Sandisk 4GB class 2. No reeboots. Works great for everyday use.
I have freeze and have to do hard restart only when i play games for 30 minutes (overheat).
Kingston 4GB class 4. I never had reeboots. I use Mdeejay builds and works just great!

no reboots
Sandisk 8gb class 2.. no reboots whatsoever..
However i dont think these reboot issues are related to sd cards (unless maybe the cards themselves have a problem due to prolonged use or other factors)
I would advise to try formatting ur card on a pc (using a card reader if possible) and then formatting it while in winmo 6.5 (using the htc formatting application found in a stock htc hd2 rom)..
then try out any new build, without changing the kernel, and without overclocking (this can cause issues)
after this procedure, if all doesnt go well, then we can rule out that hardware is the prob (either card or phone)
oh n by the way, during this testing procedure, if possible, flash a t-mo US 3.14 rom (together with radio) using pc of course to keep ur hardspl from being overwritten..
@denyboy
try underclocking ur cpu, less or equal to 768mhz (some desirehd builds apart from mdj's revolution hd build become very slow when below 768)
this should keep the temp less than or equal to approx 40 degrees Celcius (that is if your not plugged in to charger and not in direct sunlight )
i have just changed from a sandisk 2gb to a kingston 8gb class 4. i was happily using a desire hd build and it was running brilliantly. the build doesnt like the kingston card though. i lags terribly so ive gone back to the 2gb for now.

Hi!
I'm doing a PC format and then a WinMo formating tool everytime i try a new rom. And i have no plans on overclocking at all I would like a kernal that's not over/under-clocked. But i have not found any.
SO, maybe it's my card or my phone. Will try the latest Artemis that is now Android supported (what ever that is) And then maybe i can use Android without any reboots as well...
I can stress my device with gaming and the temp is about 40-41 degrees without any reboots. Then the device can lay on my table without any use at all and suddenly reboots itself... very strange i think. I can buy the reboots when stressing the device (since this Android stuff is not for our HD2's) but when not using them.... nah...
Thank you for your reply!
I had random reboots on the 16gb class 2 that comes with the TMOUS phone and with a Kingston Class 4 8gb.
I don't think it is the card, it seems to have to do with the build/kernel. I never get reboots when running either shubcraft or michyprima's CM6 builds. I always get them when I run M-deejays and the topia series builds.
Stock TMOUS 16gb Sandisk Class 2 card. No crash or reboots. Many builds, many kernels.
Try
Darkstone's SuperRAM FroYo build as it puts system in ram, less stress on memory card.

I have reboots only when using Sense/Sense HD builds (every few hours). It reboots automatically while the phone is IDLE regardless of the kernel. I don't overclock and the phone cannot be overheating since it reboots when it's idle.
I am now using tytung's NexusHD2 and I haven't a reboot in an entire week. Using a Sandisk 16Gb Class 2. I've been looking around for ages but haven't been able to figure out what could be causing this since it seems to a unique issue. Any ideas?

Hi there.
I was wondering how slower or cumbersome is the experience using SD CM7 or Phiremod vs having it EMMC.
Are there any benchmarks comparison (quadrant, etc) available on XDA or can someone share their experience and how different they feel?
ust to clarify I am not comparing CM7 vs Phiremod, just asking about the experience regarding SD vs EMMC. Thanks.
I guess this pretty much depends on the sd class so please mention in your comments which one you used!

Straight answer, running it off SD card does not "feel" any slower or more cumbersome.
I've come across posts from people who have tried both eMMC and SD installs of CM7/OC and claim that it actually feels snappier on their SD and then vice versa with other people. If you have a particularly good SD card, it may actually be (or perhaps just "feels") faster than eMMC. It's just too subjective.
In my own experience, I was having too many issues with random FCs and quirky behavior on SD card. eMMC was definitely smoother and performed better.
Turned out my overpriced best of the best Class 6 and Class 10 cards were the problem. I have since reverted to stock Nook on eMMC and running CM7 off SD card again.
Now I "feel" my current install on my new SD card (Class 4 Sandisk) is better. These particular cards have very good random small block r/w in comparison to higher Class cards tweaked for high speed sequential r/w. But it's all luck of the draw, same cards from a different batch may perform better or worse, YMMV.
Then again this install on my new card is using the latest CM7 stable running the latest OC test kernel at 1.3ghz. Quadrant scores averaging 2800.
Your straight answer was actually very complete Quadrant at 2800 is just insane, I just wish USPS was as fast upon delivering my Nook, I just can't wait!
Thanks for the SD card tip, I ordered a Sandisk class 6 and was thinking on ordering a second one to play with other roms, I think I will order a class 4 this time just in case...
Glad to be of help. Some other thoughts; IMHO this would be the best way to get CM7 + gapps/Market + OC kernel installed on SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Grab the latest CM7 stable which is 7.0.2, gapps and OC kernel 4/04 or (4/24 test kernel), which you can find referenced in links from that thread.
You would be starting with a base installation here with the latest stable CM7 plus full Market access. Then you can build, and personalize it from there to make it your own, instead of say Phiremod which is a customized version of the same.
If you follow the instructions, it will be an easy smooth experience. 15 minutes tops. The tricky part may be in getting the timing right to get into "recovery" to install gapps. Instead of counting 6 seconds as per the instructions, count to 3 right when you see "Touch the future..". Be sure to have your wi-fi enabled and set up before you install gapps.
After you have CM7 and gapps/Market installed and running, then you may choose to OC it. With the latest CM7 stable and stock kernel, it actually runs very smooth even without overclocking (depending on your SD card). OC kernels up to 4/4 (1.1Ghz) just needs an easy uImage replacement as per the instructions.
However, newer test OC kernels (1.3Ghz) have modules and libs which you need to adb push over, which means you'd need the android SDK installed on your computer with working drivers.
Good luck.

You should do some more research. Honeycomb on the nook is no bueno. You can use gingerbread with no problems. ICS is being updated daily, still some things not working. To format your micro sd card you can use SD Formatter from Sandisk. Try cm7 on your sd card. Works great. My girlfriend has very few problems, she is very happy.

And is there any way to restore it in case it messes up? If possible id like it all done on the sd card and I could get an 8gb easy, and I could try for a 16 if necessary.

Honeycomb in general is a no-no. The Honeycomb ROM you got was based off of SDK. Google never officially released the Honeycomb source code. As for your problem, I'd need more info. You could always wipe your SD and go to Wal-Mart, asking for a trade-in. If they plug it in, act dumb and say it came that way. Go with the latest CM7 nightly. CM9 is in a rapid change state at the moment, so unless you can build a ROM based off of source, I'd wait until CM9 becomes stable. For now, look into the ROM that would suit her. MIUI is well-supported and sort of resembles iOS. CM7 is strictly Android. Phiremod is nice but is officially unsupported because its developer decided to leave his Android life. Hopefully, someone else takes the reigns from him. My suggestion for you for now is either CM7 or MIUI.

Personally I'd flash a ROM to the Nook. If you want to run CM7 completely off of SD, things get more complicated. For now, give her a ROM. If she likes the look of an iPod, go with MIUI. Otherwise, flash CM7 (the latest stable should do). Make a recovery after you flash and about once every week or so. I suggest getting an SD card for just recoveries. 2GB should do and when you need to delete old recoveries, just hook up to your computer, find the directory in your SD labeled "clockworkmod", open it, and delete the folders that hold the old recoveries. Most are named based on the date and time they were created.

First, there is probably nothing wrong with your SD card as I think you have now found. When you make an install that is designed to run off the SD card the process partitions the card into various areas. Windows can only see the first partition which is the boot partition of 117 MB. Other partitions hold the system, data and "SD" areas and the Nook will see all of these and can mount the "SD" area as visible to the PC when connected by USB.
Various utilities are available to put the card back to a single full capacity partition. E.g. the HP utility or the Sandisk utility as mentioned.
I'd certainly follow the advice given on ROM selection. If you choose to use the CM7 type then the ROM build under the KANG MiRaGE thread is the best choice at the moment.
Although installing to emmc internal is nicer in many respects there are also lots of people here who have chosen to run on SD because they wanted to leave the Nook stock software unaltered. Providing you use a SanDisk card this will give good results, running fast and stable and does not alter the internal Nook software so you can just remove the card to get back to the standard Nook.
I started like this but then decided that I was never going to use the stock and eventually flashed into internal. For non-technical friends who want the CM7 experience on their Nook I normally use the SD card method as it then means they have an easy path back to a standard Nook.
If you want to run from the SD card then reformat your card back to full capacity, choose which ROM you want to use then follow the SD card install guide.

This ^^^. I have flashed cm7 to my gf's emmc, somehow, by accident in the past. I took it back to stock with the help of a thread in the dev section. Not a problem. It seems pretty hard to screw up her nook. She loves cm7 over stock. Actually, I used the cm7.2 kang. Runs really well on the sd card. If there is ever a problem, pull the sd card and start over. Always have current backups of apps/data. Good luck.

Actually, the stock B&N operating system has a nice SD card formatter. You just put in the SD card after turning on the Nook, go to Device Options from Settings, click on the SD card option, and you can format/wipe it from there.
Under Ubuntu, I use gparted.
For Windows, I don't know which one is the best, but when I had the same problem, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard

I can't help but notice you have it clocked to 1200MHz. No criticism, and it's purely your choice, but clocking to 1200MHz isn't actually... well, I guess the word is, "beneficial". Personally, I'm clocked to 1100MHz, and I'll tell you why. Clocking the Nook at 1200MHz makes it: 1) Overheat very easily, 2) Drain through battery like a b***ch, and 3) It has no noticeable increase in performance. I'm not the only one out there who has noticed this either. But I can't dictate you and make you change it. Just informing you that Dragons may be ahead of you. If you don't have any of those problems, then so be it. If I were to recommend my opinion for overclocking settings, I'd say 1100/1100 min/max set to interactive or interactiveX. It seems counter-intuitive, but I know of an article (for the life of me can't find the link, LeslieAnn posted the link in one of her replies to an LG Optimus V thread) where a developer did tests at different clocking settings. From his findings; overclocking is better than underclocking, minimum clock setting has a really miniscule effect on the idle power consumption, and setting min & max settings at the same step provides the most balanced power-performance ratio. Anyways, I'll look for the link and see if I can find it.

You know what? I'm here to learn too so any new idea, new knowledge, ..... all are welcomed. Once again, thanks.
Just I thought that at one point, we, dev. concluded that 1200 is best, not 1100, not 1300. That's the reason why I set 1200. Personally I haven't set to anything else beside stock 800 and OC 1200.
Since you said so, I will set it to 1100 and see if any better.
Thanks again, m8
Just get a new sd card here for 8 bucks: http://www.dailysteals.com/
16 gb class 4.
Only good for today.
Go download EaseUS, the free trial. It helped me expand my 16gb sandisk to full capacity after I imaged the files I wanted. EaseUS got a great rating on CNET. I figured out what I needed to do without watching the tutorial video.
If only I could get my nook to actually boot now :/
The EaseUS tool works like a charm. Thanks for the info. I got my 16GB back now...
I messed up my 32GB Sandisk (4) sd card too. It crashed running CM7 (no idea why) and I tried to reformat it using mini as suggested and then reinstall CM7 on it. It would not reformat to FAT32! So, then I wiped it, which maybe was my mistake. Anyway, now I can see the card in mini but checking the properties I see that it's all f'd up. Basically I can't format it as anything, number of cylinders appears to have changed, etc, etc. I have no idea what I did to it! Obviously, my knowledge on this subject is limited. I've learned how to create partitions, define or extend them and so on but know very little about how these little buggers work.
Since it cost about $25 on sale I'd like to fix it, if possible. Anybody have any ideas about how to fix or where I can go to learn? Does this problem have to do with the master build? I see that option in mini but don't understand what it is!
Sorry for being so stupid. I bought a new 16GB card and successfully made a new CM7 sd and restored apps using TB and content from my PC (thank god I had the presence of mind to back that stuff up)! I sure would like the extra 16GB back though....no $$ in the budget for anything more than the 16GB I bought.
I know this is sort of wandering from the OP but since others were discussing f'd up cards (albeit more easily repaired) I thought it would be ok. Feel free administrator, to redirect me if I should start new thread in Q&A. I did surf there and ran a global search of the NT threads and this was the best of four pertinent threads I found.

But this is a nook color thread.
Everyone here uses burning software to put bootable NC images on the device and it fixes it. Not sure if such things exist on the NT. Best to search there.
All right so this may be strange but...
I had no problem creating a bootable SD card for the Nook Color. Wanting the latest and greatest, I went for CM9.
I got Samian's larger CM9 image file so I could use the cm9 nightlies, which are too big for the boot partition of CM7 build.
Anyway, it all went great. Smooth as butter, no crashes, no fuss. So far everything works....EXCEPT, I don't know exactly how it IS supposed to work, since this is the first and only android device I've owned.
So I am in the strange position of having no real technical issue -- but I do have significant "user" questions.
Here are a few. 1. Android Marketplace seemed to install fine. But I end up going to google play when I hit the "shop" button. Is that right? Or is marketplace some kind of integrated app I should be able to use without google play coming up?
2. Can I access the files on my internal Nook Color memory -- i.e. can I read my books, or do I have to put them on the SD card?
3. Are all my apps always on? Is there a way to "shut them down"? Do I need to? Coming from a PC environment, I like to shut down a program when I'm not running it.
4. My "system" information shows (when look at running programs) that I have only about 500MB of RAM. Is there a way to use some of my SD card for more RAM -- or any other way to increase it?
5. Any kind of general user guide for CM9 out there? I realize there probably wouldn't be one specific to Nook Color, since in a sense this is very elaborate hack, but I am starting from scratch.
thanks so much. I've enjoyed the messing around, and I'm thrilled at how well it's gone so far. I got a lot of info from xda.

1. Market just was upgraded by google to Play Store. So it is operating properly.
2. You can access files from internal media memory (emmc). But you may have difficulty reading the nook books stored there. They are encrypted for your nook account (DRM). But you can install the android version of the Nook reader and log into your account and redownload them to your SD.
3. Don't worry about always on apps. Android was built for multitasking and has a very efficient memory management system. It does everything for you. It puts apps in memory for you so that when you go to them they are ready to start. Just being in memory is not using processor time so it is not a drain. Also Android will automatically remove apps from memory if it needs to.
4. Because of 3 above 512MB is a lot ram. There is really no need to expand it.
5. Off the top of my head I don't know of a manual, but I'm sure there are some out there. Just google search.
Most of the questions are Android related matters, so any google search about general Android, would do the job.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate it.
Two follow up questions:
I am running ICS/CM9. Only been at it a day or so, but so far, no real problems. The screen might be *slightly* less responsive than the NC system, but it's not clunky -- maybe just a little slower, a little more prone to having to tap some things more than once.
1. I've seen many other posts of people raving about CM7 and how stable and zippy it is. Would I benefit from switching to CM7? Is it faster/more responsive than CM9 currently?
2. I was thinking of just finding another cheap micro SD and installing CM7 on it (rather than the dual boot thing, which would require me to wipe my current SD and start over). Any reason it wouldn't work to run CM7 off a different card?
thanks again!
It would be worth it for you to get another SD card and load CM7 on it to see the difference. I have used both CM7 and CM9 and love the interface of CM9 but do prefer the stability of CM7.
Learning your way around the systems can.be daunting, but stick with it - Google your questions, read the forums here. You will learn loads just using your nook.

RevTom,
Only use a Sandisk Cl 2 or 4 microSD card for an SD install. Others don't work as well. This has been well documented here on XDA many times.
There is a high likelihood you will have a bad experience if you don't follow this advice.. (force closes.. slow response, ramdom re-boots, etc)
Search the web.. they are about as inexpensive as the rest. Sometimes Radio Shack has a decent price on them.. sometimes not..

1. Just a little faster, more stable. But you give up the tablet interface.
2. Only reason not to is inconvenience of manually switching the cards and of course your media files go with each card. But it will give you a chance to look at it and decide which you want.

Yes, I've seen those threads -- maybe I can add some new info. I went with a SanDisk class 6 16GB. I didn't see the class-rating discussions until too late. There are some who also recommend staying 8GB.
However, with CM9, I've had no trouble using the class 6, 16GB. Maybe I just got lucky, or perhaps CM9 can handle the 6.
I'm glad your class 6 is working for you. Have you seen Racks thread in the development section for a dual boot SD card with both Cm7 and Cm9 on it? I did that for awhile. His instructions are pretty straight forward. You can have your books, pictures, music, etc. on the.SD card and use them with both systems.

Yes, I've seen the the thread. I would still have to wipe what I have so far, and I like the version of CM9 I've already got -- believe it came from someone called "Samian" or something like that.
One final question. For a single-boot SD OS, anyone have thoughts on the best CM7 to run with?

Some swear by Mirage by mr666. It has been customized heavily so I personally like stock CM 7.2 RC3 from the Cyanogenmod site.

My own setup involves Cm7 at main memory with 233 nightly and sdcard with Racks dualboot (kang Cm7 and ICS).
You should consider the fact that its easy to try other systems by just swapping Sd cards. Then you will find what you really like.
Unleashed from my Nook Color at 1.2G
Here's where I got my original CM9
android.sphsolutions.net/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/
The "generic 1.3" creates a larger boot sector to accommodate the larger cm9 nightlies.
Since the first post, I left that one on my larger, faster card (class 6, 16GB), and tried Racks' Dual boot. Cm9 seems to run a little zippy-er there, but I can't tell if that is the build or it is the fact that I'm running that one from an 8gb class 4 card (which is said to be better than a class 6).
Still favoring ICS/CM9 over CM7.
Any thoughts on file management for the free SD space? I am having mixed results with plugging the Nook into the PC. Sometimes I have full access to the free space/storage on the SD, and sometimes it shows up without any folders or files at all. (this is in Racks Dual boot, CM9)
Also, anyone remember off-hand where I can find the thread that tells me how to make CM9 the first (primary) boot instead of the secondary? I've traveled so much ground in these forums lately...
