I recently bought a used Nook Color online and it came with Phiremod 6.3 installed. The main concern for me is the audio. I use a pair of sensitive IEMs and the hiss from the headphone jack is crazy loud.
I read that Nook Tweaks could solve this problem, but it turns out that Nook Tweaks doesn't support my version. This leads to my current question.
How would I go from Phiremod to the CM7 nightly builds? I have read from a thread that I must start from scratch, but I do not know where to begin. I have never rooted an Android product before. In fact, the Nook Color is my first Android product. I have knowledge of jailbreaking iOS products, but that's about it.
Do I simply follow this guide? Link
I am backing up my apps with TitaniumBackup at the moment. What else would I need to back up to be safe?
TL;DR
1. Do I follow thisguide to go from Phiremod to CM7 Nightly?
2. What programs besides TitaniumBackup should I use to back up my current data on my Nook?
Daily bump. If no replies, I'll just try it out for myself
You didn't mention if you were running phiremod on Emmc, or your SD card. If it is on emmc then just download cm7, and go into recovery . Wipe data, cache, and dalvic cache. Flash cm7, flash Google apps, flash kernel if you want, and reboot. Hope that helps.

Sadly, its too late now, but i will mention that had you had any programs/data you wanted on there, the "Wipe Data" step is fully unneeded, and only results you wasting time re-installing everything. Phiremod IS CM7, with some different skinning. Flashing over Phire is the same as flashing any nightly; wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash, good to go.

It didn't take me too long to reinstall everything. I just restored it through TitaniumBackup which took about 5 minutes. My Nook was still fairly new so I didn't have much on it. Thanks for that bit of information though

How do you do flash the ROM every day and not loose all your settings, apps, etc. and have to re-download and reset everything again?
Or do you not loose all this when you download new nightly builds of CM7?
I never understood this either. Either you can flash over the previous 'nightly' and that preserves the settings and apps or they do a titanium backup of the apps and settings and flash that back on after doing a wipe. Don't know for sure tho.
The nightlys are too bleeding edge for me tho, tend to stick with a stable rom until cyanogen releases a fully compiled version.
I flash nightlies nightly. All you do is flash over the old one and everythings still there.
So you don't do a wipe in Rom Manager before you flash?

Never. I haven't wiped once in about 30+ updates. Phone runs great.

1) download update and put on SD card
2) enter recovery
3) Wipe cache/dalvik cache (notice. Don't wipe data. this is how you keep your apps/preferences/etc.)
4) Apply nightly update .zip
4a) If you're running a launcher mod (other than ADW) you can go to reboot recovery then flash the launcher mod as well to save your homescreens.
5) Reboot.
I don't even do that. Just flash straight from ROM Manager. I also don't backup before every update either. Think my current backup is nightly 15.
Vision rooted, booted and scooted

But, the very first time you installed a ROM you had to wipe everything?
It's just the updates where you don't need to wipe, right?
Yeah, you only need to wipe when going to a new version of android, eg 2.2 to 2.3

or... between CM and Gv or MIUI or Sense. Just good practice to wipe when making huge ROM changes.
what exactly is dalvik cache?

If goggle "what is dalvik cache", you'll probably get back to an xda thread, except that the first reply tells you to go google it, lol. Don't worry, though, cyanogen gives a pretty good summary of what it is in that thread a few posts down.
I have tried to flash my nook several times. First with deeperblues honeycomb and then with cm7. On the honeycomb flash it just hangs on the android_ screen and with the CM7 it hangs on the cyanogen splash screen.
Have tried with different versions of CWR and different SD cards. have tried formatting boot and without for the Honeycomb. Always formatting cache, data and system for both cm7 and honeycomb.
Each time, i flash back to 1.0.1 stock, then root, then try to flash the mod again.
It always works returning to the stock 1.0.1 using the cwr complete restore found on the nook color portal. And the autonooter always works as well.
This is frustrating me as im not amble to install any cool mod on the nook. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my NC is resisting any change i make to it other than root stock 1.0.1?
It sounds like a symptom of not wiping data, but you said you're doing that...
Just to be clear, before flashing, you're doing "wipe data/factory reset", then "wipe cache", then "wipe dalvik cache"? Formatting /system shouldn't be necessary but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

I have tried the wife data/factory reset option once when trying to flash honey comb. Still gave me the same issue. All of the how to's i read had me formatting the data, cache and system, and depending on the how to sometimes the boot partition as well. Have been following those to the letters. This is the first time i have heard of wiping the dalvik cache, is that different than wiping cache under the mounts and storage?
Was there a color sticker on the box of your Nook?
Also, have you tried doing an SD only install rather than flashing the internal?

Not sure about the color sticker on the box when i bought it. It was right after it came out so going on a year ago. I have tried the SD only install, that works with honeycomb at least, thats the only one i have tried, all be it laggy because i only have a class 2 card at best.

I did some searching and i think what your eluding to is maybe my partition is the new style(although like i said i bought it within about a week or two of it originally being released)? would running the repartition in CWR make a difference do you think?
The option to wipe dalvik cache is under "advanced" in CWR. Try that in conjunction with a data and cache wipe.
As for the partitions, I don't think it should make a difference. It also sounds like you're on the old partitioning scheme which is the better one to have. You could try flashing the repartition/reformat zips just for the hell of it. Personally I went with the custom 2/4 setup.

Will try once with wiping the delvik cache, data, and cache. I wont wipe the system or the boot. If that doesnt work, il try the repartition and start from scratch. If anyone can think of anything else please let me know.
I was running cm7 since it was first released. I got a new phone so i decided to give my atrix to my younger brother. The problem is after i went through the process of putting the phone back to stock, there now seems to be dead zones on the phone. For example i cannot press the w,e,s, keys. Can anyone help me or tell me if i've done something wrong?
I'm not sure you did anything wrong specifically. Did you make sure the clear all the cache? How did you put stock back on it (IE. flashed stock via CWM, moto fastboot, etc)?.
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, system cache, reflash your firmware of choice, reboot.

Ive had numerous problems with cm7 for atrix but ive found that backup everything you need with titanium backup and then just reflash the rom and wipe the data and davlik cache and it should. But yh there are lots of issues with the cm7 rom for atrix but its still in beta so dont worry too much it will be ok when there are more updates

The CM7 beta does not have the issues that the OP described so please don't let him think that's the reason.
OP, re-flash your phone with a different ROM or with CM7 again and see if it still persists.
This is my first post and sort of new to this. I have two simple questions.
1) I am running latest CM7 nightly in mSD for Nook Color. Can I simply place CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG build onto mSD to run it? Will the system recognize the file and overwrite my nightly?
2) Can I also downgrade from latest CM7 nightly to a stable release by placing stable release into my mSD?
thanks ahead of time for help.

Yes to both.
thanks for the quick reply.
I have one more question if anyone can answer. Sorry for being noob.
I just start using android/Nook from iOS. I can do just about anything inside iOS.
Here is my question when I update to stable/mirage build does my data and settings retain? This just update (overwrite) nightly and install. Correct?

Unless you factory reset, all settings and installed apps will still be there after flashing a new ROM.

Something I've been wondering,,,after performing an update build while running off of mSD should we be wiping cache and dalvik cache? And if so, how?
Or is that only a emmc thing?
I would think that even running on mSD both cache would still be needed by the ROM, and therefore could be wiped.
Thanks.
If you're running off verygreen's SASD... it wipes cache when you perform an update.
Arggh!! <smacks hand to forehead>
I've sat and watched the output numerous times during a install/update and noted the "flushing cache" message. duh.
thanks for the reply.

It does not wipe cache. That message means something else. It is just cleaning up after itself.

The only way to wipe cache with a verygreen SD install is to use third party programs like Titanium Backup. It is not really necessary as the system will rebuild the dalvik cache if it needs it. (Actually you can use a specially modified CWM recovery to do it, but not many people have that installed.)
Thanks clearing that up leapinlar.
I gave it a shot using TIB, and it reported 2 files as not needed for a total of 5.1mb removed.
I do remember viewing a thread somewhere in reference to that modified CWM. After review, I felt that taking simple SD image backups would suffice rather than using modified CWM in this instance. Only other benefit to CWM I felt I was lacking is cache cleanup. So looks like I have that covered now.
Thanks again.

Factory reset is not enough to get rid of them. That only wipes /data and /cache. You need to wipe /system before you install the CM10 again.

More on the keyboard issue
Ive run into the same problem also with the keyboard, home button, and browser not working. Ive read that this has been an ongoing issue with apparently the only solution is to reinstall CM10 and gapps. My question is, what versions of each are used. The latest nightly I was able to get was from 02/24. I also used the gapps from 10/11/2012. It was a no go. As soon as gapps gets installed, the problems begin. I tried the latest gapps from 12/12 and again, the same problems. What is the correct combination to use? Every time that Ive done it, Ive completely wiped my nook: system, data, dalvik, cache, etc.....
If I use the nightly from 02/24, for example, what gapps am I supposed to be using? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CM10 always needs 20121011 (nightlies are CM10, you only get CM10.1 from here). Never use 20121212 on CM10, since it is hard to get rid of. If you ever installed the 20121212 gapps, both CM10 and the right gapps have to be re-installed on a wiped /system. If you are running on SD, reburning is not enough. That does not wipe it. It has to be wiped with CWM or TWRP.
