I have a question for some of you. I had been doing some research on CM9 for NC. I found a download, ( Though not on this site) along with some additional help from this website.
I installed everything to my NC and low and behold, it all works!! It looks just like my Toshiba Thrive tablet, except it's showing that its running Android 4.0 version.
Now for the drawbacks.... it has NO sound, NO Market, etc... Is there any way to install those? Or has this been the problem all along??
Thanks!
What links you got the CM9 from?
I got CM9 running with sound and market is working just fine.
I knew better than to trust another site, but ... I went to androidfamily.net. It had a "how to" to install CM9 ...
Could you give me downloads you used?
Thanks alot!!!
Check out the Samiam nightly builds in the development forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444943
You basically need to flash three files that are available from there. Latest nightly main CM9 ROM, Google Apps (Gapps) and the telephony-permissions fix.
That will give you market, working sound and best CM9 for Nook at the moment.

I see the Gapps file, and the telephony-permissions fix file, but where is the CM9 main file you mentioned? Am I overlooking it?
I tried again, using the same CM9 file, and then installed the Gapps file you mentioned along with the telephony permissions fix. Still no market. Everything else worked fine!

So do I just download the link that has today's date by it?? That's what I did, and no market. I went back re-read everything, and then downloaded everything all over again, and again... No Market. Everything else is working fine.
Are you connected to wifi? When loading a new rom, sometimes the market doesn't show up until hooked up to wife.
If this doesn't solve your problem, then I would start from scratch. Can you boot into CM recovery? If so, go into mounts and storage and format data, system and cache. Back into main screen and factory reset and wipe cache partition. (so many debates on if this is all totally necessary, but I have had glitches with installs when I have not done every one of these steps in this order).
Install CM9 (I do recommend samiam's build. It works flawlessly on my nook.)
Choose reboot option in recovery. Connect to a wireless network.
Samiam has included Rom Manager in his build. I use this to boot into recovery. Install Sam's gapps, telephony fix and boot animation fix. Reboot.
Hope this helps. Post if you need more detailed instructions.
I don't think you are flashing the right ones or are missing one of the 3. There is a patch that fixes market, boot animation and SOD issues. In unofficial cm9 forum.

I am getting a little confused. When I clicked on the CM9 build....it shows parent directory and then all the nightlies. Which one do I use? I also tried to just wipe it and reinstall CM7... I did manage to get the market running the CM7. So, I think I must have just downloaded the wrong nightly??

You can click on the latest one (Jan. 28.) and download. I always check the end of samiam's thread to see if there are any hiccups on the latest builds. I am running Jan.26 build (haven't updated yet) and it is running beautifully for me.

I have tried everything! and still no market! I believe I'm doing everything correctly, because I downloaded CM7 again, and had the market.
Is there anyone out there with the same type problem that corrected it?
Thanks!
From Recovery you want to format cache and system (under mounts). Also format data unless you already have a good working set up and you want to preserve all your settings, apps etc.
Then you should be flashing 3 zips in this order
update-encore-2012xxxx.zip where xxxx is the latest
gapps-ics-4.0.3-sam-noinit.zip from the misc folder
telephony-permission-fix.zip from the misc folder
The gapps zip in particular has the google apps including the market. Note that if you are comparing with the CM7 MiRaGe ROM then that has the gapps in including the market already in whereas with CM9 you have to flash them in separately.
If you have formatted data then when you reboot it should take you straight into a setup where you set up wifi, then sign in to your google account. The market app then should work OK.

Went to CWM and did the above ..went to mounts and storage..format cache and system, and data. After I did this, I hit the power button, once to go back to the screen to install the zips. Now, when I hit that power button, the following message came up 4 times... E: can't mount/cache/recovery.log. Could this have something to do with it??
I tried your instructions again, and No Market. You said that it would take me to a screen to set up wi fi ..but it doesn't. My screen is black, with a clock, a picture of a camera, and box that says gallery.
I am just going to have to go back to CM7!
I think I finally thought it out. For whatever reason when I put the gapp file in my NC it shows installing..but I don't think it worked. CM7...No problems! Have installed twice today and both times had the Market.
CM9... runs great...but no market!
Strange. The only thing that I can think of at the moment is that you have a bad download of the gapps file.
If you haven't tried it before then I'd suggest downloading it again. You should then just be able to flash that one on its own.
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
As a double check the zip should be 16,874,937 and you should be able to open it on PC and see the apps files in the system/app folder with vending.apk

I checked, and BTW I'm using gapps-ics-4.0.3 -sam noinit ......my download is 18,275 KB ? and when I clicked on it to check the apps files as you suggested this is what it showed... 3 folder icons with MACOSX, META-INF, system. And then directly underneath the folders were 3 other things with the same words as the top 3 ... NO vending.apk ?? I clicked on the one that had system, and all the apps are there. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Would you tell me which gapp file your using?
Thanks for helping me!!!
I go the Gapps I use from the link
http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/
However, it looks like I got a slightly earlier one (probably 1 day before). I retrieved the current one to compare them. The later one has the YouTube app in which explains the difference in size. All the Google apps are exactly the same as in the one I use and the Vending app is there as well under system/app
If you can't see that folder then there is something wrong with your zip download.
The other difference from the earlier one I had is that it looks like the later one had been put together on a Mac system as it has the extra __MACOSX folder and a few .DS_Store folders which are not really part of the required zip but should be harmless.
Just to check I just tried installing with the latest nightly 20120128 and the later gapps version and I got the market OK.
So two thoughts: either your download is still bad or maybe you have signature verification turned on in your clockwork and that is causing this gapps install to fail whereas the main ROM is passing and also the gapps when you do CM7. I have signature verification disabled (which I think is the default). Try toggling the signature verification menu item and get it set to disabled.
What and where is the signature verification? And..... how do I get there?
EDIT: Nevermind guys, I found out the solution myself. I formatted the system partition in TWRP and reflashed the ROM again. But still, I would like to know if there is a way we can get root access inside TWRP's terminal emulator.
I installed CM13 on my Nexus 6P and on top of that I installed c-apps package. Now the dialler app is crashing and not allowing me to receive any calls. Though they have mentioned a way to uninstall it via adb, but is there any other way to do it, as I don;t have a cable with me right now in my office. I don't want to format my system partition and lose all the installed apps again
I tried the terminal emulator inside TWRP 3.0, but it doesn't have root access. Can someone please guide me?

[UPGRADE(Dirty Flash)]
I have noticed if you dirty flash on first boot you may experience a little lag or possible reboot. After it settles down no issues. Not sure if its art related on upgrades or what. Its hard to pin point as it only happens once and smooth after that. Recommend after an upgrade let it settle in before playing hard.
Thanks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FIrst boot is a little slow but that is due to art. I always recommend a clean install when upgrading but if you feel luck. Backup and try a dirty flash. If you have issues run a clean install and if you still have issues please post with a logcat. You can upload via bugreport in the toolbox under settings. If going from a differnt rom other then evervolv lollipop always clean install. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BACKUP its important if you don't want to loose anything

NOTE: NEED a clean install if moving from a previous version and or another ROM.
Flashing from cm or any other ROM will require a clean install, dirty flashes can cause random reboots and random errors

TP Toolbox v0.42 Complete Data Reset Guide with Updated Links
NOTICE: THIS THREAD WAS ABANDONED BY THE OP, BUT I WILL KEEP THE LINKS IN THIS POST UPDATED
This guide is for a complete data reset to start from scratch. You should only need to use TP Toolbox to either adjust partition sizes, or start from scratch if any partitions got corrupted or you get errors while adjusting partitions or installing new ROMs.
If you end up having to start from scratch in TP Toolbox v0.42, follow these steps:
- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible ROM
- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible GApps
- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible TWRP
I recommend keeping those files on your PC hard drive so you can always re-use them in the future if needed.
1. In the TP Toolbox v0.42 main menu, do a 'Complete Data Reset' to start from scratch
2. Select the 'Install Android' option from the main menu
3. Copy the 3 above files from your PC to the "tpinstall" folder after the TP is mounted
4. When given the option to adjust partition sizes, increase the System partition to at least 1312mb
5. Finish install, and reboot to TWRP
6. While in TWRP, flash the newer 3/24/17 TWRP 3.1.0.0
7. Reboot into the new TWRP that you just flashed
8. In TWRP advanced wipe menu, wipe the System partition
9. While still in TWRP, flash the Wifi model ROM or the 4G model ROM along with some OpenGapps

I actually enlarged the System partition to 1500mb just to be safe, and am testing the Nano OpenGApps. So far everything works great! I've installed several different apps, and all seem to work just fine with no FCs. I also get to test out the apps I'm developing on the Nougat OS, so that's really nice. I do miss CM theme support and the Evervolv toolbox, but I promise to be very patient; as I know those are out of your hands. :angel: I also flashed AdAway to the system and that is also functioning fine.
EDIT: For those who would like a flashable zip of AdAway to flash it to the System, I attached it to this post.
I dirty flashed over evervolve 6.0.1 and it boots up in about 6 minutes.
It feels much faster than 6.0.1 and the multi window is amazing.
There is no evervolve toolbox tab in setting, so there is no option to change the cpu frequency.
In the OP, it mentioned evervolve toolbox for bug report. Is the toolbox supposed to be absent?
Edit: second question: where do we control root permissions?

Im surprised a dirty flash worked. As stated above not alot of features have been added but the toolbox access at the moment is only though the launcher you should see toolbox just like any other app. Root permission is controlled though the toolbox as well.
How can we promote this thread to the xda news portal? Flintman deserves a spot there.
Edit: there is no thanks button any more on XDA? I can not find that button.

Ok, it looks like my setup. I find in touchpad toolbox the partition "media". So "media is like "external" right?
And about "cm-cache", i think i set it up in the past from 200 to 1000. Is that better? So normally yes because
of more. But i don't know how android handle it. That's why i ask.

If you've switched to f2fs, then that's the reason. TPTB is unfortunately incompatible with it.
Hi didn't switch to f2fs. I downloaded the files and used pc tptb for the installation.. Currently I am trying to get wifi working better. I installed the job new rom and cm 12 going to the WiFi forum. I have just bought a new one that's 16 gig, it has WiFi access but falters..
But on this issue I will try to get it going on the other TouchPad see if it works..
Amazing stuff
Great job as always. Flintman, you have always been the first ou with the new release of Android since i have had a toucpad for the last few years. Congratulations again and thanks for all your work.

How do I go about install viper to 7.1.2 without it failing
Search for VIPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip,
flash the zip with twrp, reboot your device, use a root explorer and under vendor/etc rename the audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak for example.
Start the viper app, apply the driver install, be patient, after install reboot your device, viper works now even with selinux enforced. The viper app will be installed with the zip, no need to download it anywhere else.
Here on XDA you will find threads about viper and arise from guitardedhero.

This solution is indeed reposted everywhere but did not work for me.
What worked was a clean install of my ROM ( lineageOS 14.1 20170619 nightly) , Kernel (Franco v52), and SuperSU (v2.79) (Magisk somehow messes everything up). Then I flashed ARISE with one of the older .zip (2.94 should work, I don't know which version I used since I renamed it back in march).
In AROMA I chose "jedi" -> viper 2.3.4.0, since only the older Version works and "remove deep buffer"
after the installation I rebooted, changed the name of
/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
and installed busybox to
/system/bin
so viper would find it. If you don't do that, viper will try and fail to install the driver, complaining busybox is not installed. The driver is already installed by the ARISE.zip so you can reboot.
After turning off "AudioFX" Viper worked as desired (including streaming audio, that's what "remove deep buffer" is for).

Yes, that's what I usually use too (2.94), but he was only asking for viper, and the solution i posted does work. I'm actually using it this way with paranoid and have no issues. I use viper with every rom and I always delete AudioFX, musicfx and remove deep buffering, but I don't install extra busybox on los based roms.

The guitardedhero.zip did not work for me, as to why I don't know. Magisk also has several modules that should enable Viper4Android which seem to function for the wast majority of (angler) users. Maybe the installation of busybox is unnecessary, I did not check because I dreaded one more reboot after hours of tinkering. If there is an obvious culprit that hinders an "easy" installation of Viper4Android, I'd be quite interested. I'm struggling with that guitardedhero.zip solution since i upgraded to 7.x. (throughout stock and LineageOS and all bootloader/radio/vendor versions).

after that, I tried to remove with Titanium Backup many system apps that I didn't want, like Mi Assistant, Es file explorer, Z-backup, an app with russian characters which I have no idea what it does, an app with chinese characters which I have no idea what it does, etc.), but the problem is that they keep coming back even after removing them with Titanium Backup :| this has never happened to me before, and I have no idea how to solve this.
Try this zip. Backup before flash.

thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work: first I tried with this method, then I installed the zip you provided, but again it didn't work.
As before, if I uninstall system apps via Titanium Backup, and then reboot the device, the apps are still there.

In TWRP's terminal do
Code:
reboot disemmcwp
If that doesn't work do it from your computer with
Code:
adb reboot disemmcwp
I tried exactly as you said, but again it didn't work. I unistalled apps with titanium backup, they disappear, then I reboot and the apps are again there :'(
Apart from that the phone works perfectly (the root remains, xposed works, etc.) so I have no idea why this is happening
Oh I have a a2017g and I dont' have Magisk, if that changes anything.
just a quick update, I have already installed busybox 1.21.1, and if i try to update it to 1.27.2 with busybox app from play store, nothing happens/changes.
edit2: I even try to install the "dm-verity and forced encryption disabler zip" listed here, but again it didn't work.

Try Magisk. AFAIK with Magisk you can make changes to system without actually modifying system, so it might work.

Could you explain this? You were looking for LineageOS maybe?
To be able to delete apps you should get a computer with ADB, connect your phone, then from the computer issue "adb reboot disemmcwp". Doing this from TWRP or a terminal emulator doesn't work

Don't use Titanium to remove the apps.if you have run the above command to disable write protection, download mxplorer or any root explorer and go into the folder and delete them. For some reason Titanium doesn't delete them properly
I was having the same problem with with all the b13 roms. The b13 bootstack it the problem for me. What phone model are you using? If you are on the U model trying installing the b32 bootstack by drakenfx. That's how I solved that problem. I am not sure on the g model though.
thanks again for your help! in the end since I couldn't figure it out, I decided to factory reset everything and start from scratch with Magisk and LineageOS. With them I succesfully managed to delete system apps with titanium backup. now i have only a small issue with adblocker, but i will create a new topic as the problem is different from the one i talked about here.

yeah I wasn't really clear. I was looking for an android vanilla experience, and then add gravity box to personalize it. however i am quite happy with lineageos, so i just may stick with it. only issue is that i couldn't find dark theme for drawer/settings, but i will look into it.

i think you're using the stock system, a.k.a. MiFavor. LineageOS is the vanilla android experience you wanted, that's why I mentioned it.
I'm attaching a few screenshots
