a) Random reboots. We've all experienced them; Mine seem to come up quite often, no matter what rom I have installed. Whether it be CM7, CM9, MIUI, etc... it usually happens after returning from "sleep mode" (locking the screen)
b) Also, is there a way to make the nook run SMOOTH (for christ's sake...)??
I've tried V6 supercharger, and I haven't felt that much of a difference.
As for specs, I have my nook overclocked to 1200mhz, with the governor on "interactivex".
c) BATTERY LIFE. I've heard people using there nooks for quite a long period of time before needing to recharge.. is there any trick to this? I'm getting 3-5 hours of use on a normal day. It's supposed to have the same battery as the Nook Tablet... and same screen resolution.. sigh..
solutions anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Well, I'm currently running the MiRage rom and it runs fine. No random reboots. Do you use a time/weather widget? Sometimes these can cause occasional problems. I wouuld think it might be an app that is causing these problems, as I've used many roms on my nook, including MIUI, without the problems you are describing.
As for low battery, how high is your display brightness set? I have found that to be a big battery hog. Or again, it could be due to certain apps.
I would also suggest doing a clean install of your rom - wipe and reformat. If you are not sure of the procedure, please post.
My nook gets very heavy use on a daily basis and I get a full day after a nightly charge. Look for a thread in the general section for the nook by mr72 - a guide for CM 7.10 setup. Lots of useful info there.

How many updates have you installed on your nook color? I have found that you should only update a few times before you will start seeing problems with your cyanogenMod builds.
CyanogenMod uses modified kernels so you should wipe both your data and your caches after a few updates to keep from corrupting your kernel base. Make sure to backup first with a nandroid backup so you can restore your apps and settings afterwards. Constantly re-flashing and updating your cyanogenmod builds just leads to problems without doing a full data wipe once and awhile. ALWAYS wipe your dalvik caches on each update.
The easiest way to wipe both your data and caches is to use clockworkmod in your included ROM manager.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have not experienced any of the issues you are claiming with the latest stable of cyanogenMod 7.2 on the nook color, but I make it a issue with myself to wipe both the data and the caches on the eMMC of my nook color , which is the way I am using cyanogenMod, after a couple of updates. YOU will especially will have to wipe both the data and caches when you upgrade from gingerbread ported versions of cyanogenMod to the ICS versions, those kernels are way modified. I have worked on some through the github.
I tried many CM7 nightlies and newer CM9 also.
Very rarely to have a restart (freeze up are bit more often) and battery lasts for 9–10 hours with full use.
Something might be wrong with your hardware or no good install of Roms.
How long do you have it? Did you get it new or used?

I have been 'trying' to enjoy using my Nook Color, but truth is that so far I am disappointed with the results. I stayed on stock 1.0 for the best part of the day. I found it sluggish and dissapointingly narrow in its use.
I then became a CM7 and subsequently Phiremod user. Things were definately better, but the device would become 'slow' after a few hours or days of use. It was definately not the 'stable' experience I expected -- especially coming from an HTC Desire background.
I tried Honeycomb SDK ports several times in the past, and they were very sluggish and unstable -- understandbly so. Now I have tried giving the latest HC Hybrid RC1 a spin and it seems a huge improvement over previous SDK ports RCs.
But of course, the Nook Color is still slow, sluggish and unstable. I get FCs all over the place, things slow down, applications fail to load.
I would like to ask a couple of things:
1) How do I flash a custom (OC or OCable) kernel that is compatible with HC Hybrid RC1? I tried flashing what seemed to be the correct kernel, but I get a bootloop.
2) Do I use SetCPU to control CPU on HC, or is there another method? I can't seem to find anything in the settings that points to overclocking or CPU settings.
3) Which ROM + Kernel combination is the best for you?
4) Is it normal that I can't access the Market in HC Hybrid RC1? I get force closes everytime I try it.
5) I seem to have 'lost' access to SD card storage AND most of my internal storage. Is this expected behaviour?
Thank you for your time.
1. How if you flash the kernel and then reinstall HC Hybrid ...
5.Have you tried this updated ramdisk made by Racks11479 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=483
http://www.multiupload.com/3D9WSPUAUZ Supposedly it fixes the issue but I haven't tried it yet
I just flashed to Miui, and I always get repeated process.acore force closes. Any solutions?
Evo 4G
It may be best to ask in Tyzing's MIUI thread in development (but try browsing the OP first).
Couple of things:
Make sure to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing the rom. I believe Tyzing provides a link to format-all.zip. That will do it all for you.
When you flash MIUI, you can only restore user apps. Restoring system apps will cause fc's.
I don't know if this is still an issue but if you use wifi, I always set the sleep policy to "never". Also turn off icon shadows in launcher settings.
I hope this helps
Evo HW 003
MIUI 1.5.20 with Tiamat 4.0.3 sbc
Cut Corners theme
Also please be sure if you ask in Tyzings thread that you are using the port that stiff made and not lithids since there are two ports builds available for the HTC EVO now done by two different developers.
ok basically i bought the phone second hand with lite'ning 1.4 on it and the wifi worked perfectly ok all the time. Since it was very old i updated it to 6.1. ever since then I have had issues with the wifi. it will connect perfectly fine to the router but i have no connectivity from it, nothing will get any net access at all. This is also not 100% of the time, its MOST of the time but not all, i do have moments where it does work fine. very very odd.
I have since tried updating the kernel to ninpho 2.1.3 from the 2.0.5 that comes with lite'ning 6.1, but that made no difference.
Someone suggested i try a wifi fix app from the market so i downloaded "FXR wifi fix and rescue" and ran that. It ran ok, wiped all my wifi settings and i restarted, but it has not solved the problem at all.
i find it very very odd since if it was a problem with the kernel OR the rom then everyone would surely have exactly the same problem. I know some people report wifi issues but most dont seem to.
anyone have any other ideas?
The odd thing is that it worked before the update. That means that it will most likely be software related.
You could try flashing something totally different like MIUI or CM. They provide kernels too, so this might resolve it, if your kernel and rom don't "like each other". This usually shouldn't happen, but updates breaking wifi shouldn't too. So it might be worth a try.

if i went to something completely different i assume i would have to factory reset the phone to wipe it first? (or factory reset it AFTER installing the new rom?)
was trying to avoid wiping it as i dont want to spend endless hours setting up everything again. i have backed it up with the free titanium but id still like to not have to find out whether the restore actually puts everything back properly
its very odd as its not completely broken, sometimes it does actually work, and it always connects to the router itself without any problem.
Probably wrong modem for you, flash another one. You can find modems in the developement section.
ok thanks I will have a look at that. It is currently on XXKH3 which is what came with lite'ning 6.1. i am confused though, all SGS2 hardware is identical so if this modem in 6.1 is causing this issue, wouldnt it affect every sgs2 that uses that modem?
I found the "shipped modem collection" post in the original development thread so have asked in there which modem i should try.
ok apparently i should try XXKI3. for o2 UK provider.
although i have now read that wifi is not managed by modem but by kernel only. if this is true then modem will not help me
Well, if the wifi is not managed by the modem, try what I proposed you earlier. The simplest would be to flash CM. Make a backup of your current rom, then do a full wipe and install CM.
As for your data:
1. Titanium backup restores your apps with their data (if you wish). That means that, for example, your games will keep their saves, other apps their settings and so on.
2. Assuming that you have a google-account, you don't have to worry about your contacts, calender,... Just sync it before you flash.
3. The backup you make in CWM will backup everything in case CM doesn't work for you.
In case it does work and you'll want to keep it, the other two other parts of your backup will minimize the remaining work. Note that you shouldn't restore "standard"-apps like the media-player or the SMS-app if titanium backup tells you that the app is not currently installed on your fresh CM. This means that CM uses it's own media player or SMS app. It could lead into problems to mix TouchWiz apps with CM.
A side-note:
Don't use the "stable" version. It had more bugs than expected and they made it a RC again. However, it is still in the stable folder. Get the latest nightly.

yep i think it is kernel. just noticed that 1.4 had cf-root, 6.1 had ninph 2.0.5 and i then tried ninph 2.1.3 and both ninph's have had the issue. i just tried speedmod k2-13 as i already had that downloaded and so far the wifi has been ok so hopefully thats it fixed. i guess it was something to do with ninph (i am thinking that because i have it set to sleep the wifi when the screen is off that somehow ninph is not handling this properly).
possibly one good thing to come of it all, ive updated the modem to KI3 which is supposedly the best one for o2 UK so i may even save more battery and speedmod is meant to be really good for battery too. I still have lite'ning on it at the moment.
i might have a look at CM anyway but i do kinda like lite'ning (although i havent actually used anything else since the phone came with it!)
also need to look at wakelocks to see if i can save some more, although not sure how i go about 'fixing' them at the moment
The choice between CM, MIUI and the stock mods is the choice between three different UI's.
I've had all three of them for some time. As you got CWM, you can just create a backup and do a sightseeing tour through the world of custom roms. Believe me, it's absolutely worth it. To get an idea of the main differences, I've written a short overview for you:
Stock mods use Samsung's TouchWiz. The default user interface that you get when buying a Samsung Android phone. So it mostly looks and "feels" the same and you can't do much about it.
CyanogenMod gives you the pure Android user interface. It's the closest to the Nexus phones by google, but gives you some extras. It is much more customizable than stock roms. It's sleek and fast.
MIUI is a whole different story. They're "Redefining Android". I think calling MIUI an "Android custom rom" is an understatement. It's an entire OS. The result of putting the best from iOS and Android into one powerful OS. It adds tons of useful(!) features. If you've ever used Windows Phone 7 or an iPhone, you know what a big step forwards Android is when it comes to features. Switching from Android to MIUI is just like that. There is just so much more. It is BY FAR the most customizable Android you can get.
Wow. If I look at how long the texts are, I see that I'm pretty biased. :O
Well maybe because I've switched so often between them. The stock roms had no chance, because after I used one of the others I found out that TouchWiz doesn't cut it anymore. I hate how "iPhone-ish" MIUI is, but if I flash CyanogenMod I just miss so much. Giving you a list of what MIUI adds would be another long post of this length.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
cool thanks will have a look at MIUI at some point.
spoke too soon earlier, the wifi is maybe slightly better on this speedmod kernel BUT when i wake the phone from sleep, it takes about 30 seconds before i can connect to the net with anything. the phone connects to the wifi straight away, but i have no connectivity for a good 30 seconds and then it starts working. (its not the router, i am getting a connection and an IP pretty much as soon as i wake the phone). also the 30 seconds or so only STARTS once i try to connect to something. if i wake the phone and do something that does not want net access for a few mins and THEN try to get on the net via wifi (which shows as connected the entire time) then again i have to wait about 30 seconds from when it first tries to connect before it will start working.
ok slightly confused again.
I have lite'ning 6.1, speedmod k2-13 kernel and XXKI3 modem. I am trying to get cwm installed so i can make a full backup image of the entire phone while i try to sort out the wifi issues. i downloaded rom manager from market, and selected the firstion option in the app 'flash clockworkmod recovery'. it brings up a menu saying 'confirm phone model' with AT&T galaxy S2, a coulpe of i9000s and a plain "Samsung Galaxy S2" which is the one i selected. it downloads something and says successfully downloaded clockwork mod recovery.
i then choose reboot into recovery. when rebooting it attemps to install something but then says "failed to verify whole-file signature" and aborts. so im just stuck with the standard recovery instead.
so now im confused, have i missed something?
Ehhhhm, you don't need to do it.
Have a look at the features of the speed-mod-kernel:
Current features:
Root and CWM:
- Automatically installs root (su)
- CWM 4.0.1.5 recovery
It already installs it right away.
Just in case you messed something up. You should flash the kernel again.
Besides that you don't need the RomManager at all. Just shut your phone down and boot into the recovery with the key-combo. Create and restore backups from there.

Hello.
This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...
ICS Step by step and files
Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.
I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.
First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.
Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.
Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs
As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.
1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.
2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.
3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.
I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.
If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.
Thanx
Bucky
Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.
Alpha 7
Hey here is the update ...
Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.
1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.
2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.
3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell
4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video
Still on the not working list
1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue
2. Can not record video
3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)
4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)
SO my review so far ...
No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.
Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.
ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.
I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.
Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about
Can always restore my current setup... lol.
Update ...
been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.
I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.
Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.
Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.
I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.
More to come ...
Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

There are allot of BT related posts in the QA. I personally do not use any BT but I do have a headset that I will try when I get home.
Seems to be a battery drain issue too as my phone is now dead but I have not calibrated so we will see after I do that.

AT LEAST YOU GUYS HAVE IT RUNNING!!
I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I have tried so many different ways to get it up and running but no luck.
I've tried installing it from MIUI 3 times but all I get when trying to boot into ICS for the first time is a Black Screen after the FuguMod boot screen.
The funny thing is that the 4 soft buttons at the bottom light up still.
So I then decided to try the JVT way:
-Flashed JVT DARKYROM (ODIN)
-Lagfix OFF
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-FLASHED CM7.1 STABLE
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Flash ICS BETA1
-Flash kernel
-FOR THE SECOND TIME:
-Flash ICS BETA1 AGAIN
-Flash kernel AGAIN
Same issue, black screen after the FuguMod boot screen, buttons still light up.
So i tried a couple more times in a few different ways based off what I have already tried, but this time, before booting into ICS for the first time, I installed the 'Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip' package.
Same issue. I'm not having any luck here.

OK so here is what I did ...
Started from MIUI 1.11.18
1. Do a nandroid backup
2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix
Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache
4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now
5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now
6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe
7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix
8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me
It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather
Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.
I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.
My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.
I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome
Still not working:
Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play
Bucky
regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.
How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser
Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...
-------
Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.
Changing from google tts to picco tts solves the problem there. As for the other stuff it is all reported as known.
I am using as a daily on my phone and no issues with general use. Still testing battery and that seems to be a bit of an issue with regard to Android OS as usual

A question:
Those of you who are using nook color and CM 7.1 and having sleep of death issue, even adjusting wi fi sleep.
Have you ever tried to disable mobile data?
In Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Uncheck "Data enabled".
I think the problem is that when the system tries to switch from Wi Fi to (non existing) mobile, it causes the sleep of death.
This solved the problem, at least for me!
The sleep of death issue was a known issue where the wifi was having a wake lock break where the resume handler hung up with the wifi driver for the nook color. This issue has now been addressed and fixed in more recent builds of cyanogenMod for the nook color. You can research the fix we did a few months ago in this thread here. This fix is now included with more recent builds for cyanogenmod. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32316-sleep-of-death-debugging/
You should update to a newer cyanogenMod build for your nook color, the latest stable build is 7.2. To fully rid yourself of this problem do not layer in your new build over the top of the last build you have on your SD card or on your eMMC, however you are running cyanogenMod on your nook. Other-words you will need to wipe both the data and the dalvik caches. Make sure to back up your settings and applications with a backup app like nandroid or with another back up app, like Titanium backup before you do this so you will not lose your apps and settings.
So what you'really saying is that I have to wipe my *perfectly functioning* version to a new one? Did I get it right?
Because as I said, with that method in place,there's no issue right now.
As long as your happy. :silly: You do know that a nandroid backup will give you your settings exactly they way you had them on your earlier build don't you? Right down to your launcher screen and icons, and all of your widgets on it, just takes 5 minutes.
It take a perfect snapshot of your launcher and all of its settings and other apps on it through clockworkmod. Plus cyanogenMod 7.2 is soooo smooth and snappy, no wi fi problems after you wipe and reinstall that nandroid backup.
I find that SoD happens when I test development on it. Sometime it just stops loading right in the middle and it freezes. The only way I've found to get out of it is to reboot the nook.

That is not SOD. That is just a normal lockup. SOD means Sleep of Death. It is when the device will not wake up properly after being in deep sleep with wifi left on.
BTW, for those still experiencing SOD even with the fixed kernel, you may want to install the patched wifi module found here:

For more information about SOD, look at item A5 in my tips thread linked in my signature.

thanks for the links. i will check them out. i'm beginning to think that one of my apps is causing my SOD, bc i left the nook (fresh install of cm 7.2 mirage) overnight with wifi on and it woke right up.

As long as your happy. :silly: You do know that a nandroid backup will give you your settings exactly they way you had them on your earlier build don't you? Right down to your launcher screen and icons, and all of your widgets on it, just takes 5 minutes.
It take a perfect snapshot of your launcher and all of its settings and other apps on it through clockworkmod. Plus cyanogenMod 7.2 is soooo smooth and snappy, no wi fi problems after you wipe and reinstall that nandroid backup.

After MONTHS of battling without updating to 7.2, I finally followed your advice and now I'm restoring the backup. Hope it works! Sorry if my answer wasn't very polite! :fingers-crossed::good:
