2 Qs - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to Rooting my NC but not to rooting in general but I've had 2 issues regardless of which ROM I'm on and wondering if anyone new a resolution or what I've done wrong. I am currently running AOKP.
1) In the Google Market/Play Store no images load. By that I mean both thumbnails and the images that show what the app will look like do not load. I am running the newest version of gapps and have also cleared data for the market in app management. I have included a screenshot to clarify.
2) Some websites do not load correctly 2 sites I can name off the top of my head are Facebook and Cracked. I have included a screenshot of what I am referring to so it will be understood.

What kind of AOKP and .gapps are you using? ICS and the gingerbread builds take different kinds of .gapps.

I nabbed the Gallery 3D app too but, either it's just me, or it's rather irritating. When you click on the photo icon while in camera mode, it doesn't take you directly to the last picture taken; just plops you right down at the beginning of your camera album and makes you scroll through all the photos (annoying if you have a lot). Can't remember whether stock gallery was weird like this.
Stock wasn't like that, it went directly to the last picture taken. Did you get the 3dgallery+ from the market or the official apk? I'm using the 3dgallery + and it does that.

I got this from the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media
Wouldn't be surprised if it's the wrong one. If so, could you link me to the one you are talking about? Searching 3dgallery just comes up with a bunch of non-relevant apps.
Moved to general as not android development
Oops....mine does the same.....i ripped it from a rom

Blandroid on N1

I just noticed, blandroid rom on the rom manager menu, has anyone tried it on N1? I'm using cm7 Rc4 and I know you'll all say stick with it, but I'm still curious.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.
Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.
Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.
Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.
You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

Blandroid 2.3.4p0 works pretty good. Just curious about this app hidden in the list written in Chinese ...

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.
The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.
Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

Give E-xtrememod 2.0 a try, been on it since yesterday and no probs so far, looks nice too!

I dropped cm7 for this rom. Great battery life no wonking - no more cm7 for me

What sort of battery life do you get and is there good support from the Dev?
I could go for no wonk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I like!
Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!

No problems.
will probs wait for a more stable release, I agree though, this is taking far too long, my phone will be on ebay before this is stable, if it every is. MIUI have lost the plot, although i was glad to see them move from CM to sammy but it hasnt been well implemented. CM is great for older phones but I dont see the point of using it on a new phone when nothing works properly.

Hmmm I've only encountered a couple of minor what you would term "instabilities"...
The Root permissions freeze up when you open an app requiring root, however you can work around this by going back to home opening the permissions app and then manually give the app root privelages.
Only other thing was I needed to download play store via the MIUI store.
MIUI V4 is awesome.

Lets hope miui jumps straight to 4.1.2 on the next beta test so we can have all the new features too.
This rom seems quite useable indeed, it is very smooth, very good for a beta, if this is the shape of things to come we could have a winner here. Pretty much everything seems to work one you get around the small permissions bug. Video player and cam performance all ok too. Let hope someone builds a decent ROM with this with all the usual mods + the latest 4.1.2 stuff.
I used Google translate to convert the Chinese beta testing page to English and i see there have been updates already. Unfortunately the beta is closed.... We need someone to give us a sneaky link to the newer versions.. Im too impatient hehe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
bring on the links people, i cant find any myself. Anyone else found any more bugs?
ROM does seem to have one of the usual problems I always find with MIUI, downloads hang on play, intermittent and seeming random with non wifi downloads.
FOR THOSE WISHING TO TRY THIS ROM.
bugs / isues so far:
- permissions crash, you have to set app manually.
- stock browser seems to be locked to chineese search.
- Heavilly stripped down, all samsung stuff removed.
- Had several phone freezes where rotation is enabled.
- No english play store installed, can be downloaded.
- No gapps.
- doesnt seem to play youtube videos from youtube app, probablly some region issues (plays them ok in browser)
General Useage:
- Video and camera work well.
- Phone / wifi / 3g GPS all working
- Supports latest Note 2 cam and gallery
- Themes seem to work fine.
- UI seems very smooth
- Seems generally very stable if rotation is disabled.

Thanks for your feedback.
Please also confirm if S-Beam/Nfc works well... this is a feature which I never got to work on MIUI Roms... when trying to transfer from my GS3 with MIUI rom to a GS3 with stock rom and vice versa...
First Public Release:
http://www.miui.com/development.html
Please can you OP update the thread title to "first public release of MIUI Jellybeen 4.1.1", or something like that.
FOR THOSE WISHING TO TRY THIS ROM.
bugs / isues so far:
- No english play store installed, can be downloaded and works fine
- No gapps.
- no sapps
- banding more obvious than usual on lockscreen wallpaper.
- Fc's when coming from beta ROM.
General Useage:
All working that I can tell so far, camera and video fine, web also fine. UI is smooth, recommend full wipe for those coming from other miui versions including the beta release from the other day.

AOSP browser looking weird

The top up the browser is glitching. Progress bar becomes wavy blue. As I scroll down the glitches image stays. This happens when using quick controls. Running cm 10.1. Have wiped a bunch of times and used different gapps.

Flashing different GAPPS won't do anything to the browser. Go to the AOSP browser page and report this.

Hi I have the same problem. It's something to do with having accessibility on in settings (in my case its Light Flow) and having quick controls enabled. It's been noted as a bug here :
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39811
Haven't seen any workaround apart from disabling accessibility options but I like using Light Flow so it's not an option for me.
I'm using Paranoid Android 3.15 so I wish the ROM makers could fix the issue as I don't think Google will continue work on the AOSP browser when they have Chrome.
I had this one my gnex once. Fastbooting back to stock then a clean flash fixed it. Though I have no idea what exactly caused it because I never dirty flash in the first place.

things i am missing from stock

I am running CM 10.2 on my verizon G2, It is running pretty sweet but there are some things that aren't available that are on the stock ROM. Wondering if any of you guys have found a way to compensate.
Is there an app that makes use of the IR, FM tuner? And maybe can we pull the camera app out of the stock rom or find a replacement?
i've had no luck side loading the Quick Remote app. I've got the apk but it always says app not installed. I'm running Carbon. Thinking about flashing back to stock everything. System and Recovery.

It's all about choices. You can't always have everything. However, check the Themes and Apps section. I know there is at least one camera in there. Not sure if it's compatible with CM, though.
