Gallery App in Honeycomb is working in v4 eMMC - Nook Color General

I just flashed the eMMC v2 of HoneyComb preview v4 and found that the Gallery App is now working (in v1, when I tried to opened an image, the app will FC.) I didn't see a new version of the HC preview being posted, so I don't know if the SD version's Gallery App has been fixed or not.
One step closer to the ultimate budget HoneyComb tablet!

Too bad, Angry Bird Season seems to be broken ...

I am tearing my hairs out now ... the new version seems to make some previously non-workable app workable, but does exactly the opposite for some other apps (ex, Angry Birds Season, Slice-It, etc)

Have you gone into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Apps
Then select your application and verified it is installed Internal and NOT to SD? If it is Internal, there will be an option to 'Move to SD card' and if on SD, will say 'Move to Internal'
Angry Birds and Seasons both work on my unit if Internal and not on the SD.
Hope this helps!

JP6 Issues

The first thing I noticed was the need to download and install a new version of Task Manager through the Market.
Reinstalled all applications through AppBrain as the Market did not retain the record of my downloads.
Added Apps to my Home screens with no worries.
Today after Power Off the phone took ages to restart. Holding down the power on button solicited a vibration from the phone and then some time later the phone started.
After Power Off some of the applications on my Home screen disappeared:
Angry Birds
Cestos 2
Find Differences
Meteorlite WVGA
Slugs
After adding them back to the home screen I switched off again and back on. Same issue.
Same applications disappeared from the home screen and another App called Open Sudoku.
Anyone experiencing these issues on their i9000.?
Thinking of doing a factory reset of the phone, clearing the cache, format internal memory. Complete clean.
Start again.
Thought?
Starting fresh would be best and only option imho. On a sidenote have you noticed if you moved App 2 SD , the SD card doesn't get mounted when in external mode? I have as yet looked into it but I noticed I've lost external SD but it works fine inside the phone

Don't even know how to get into external mode. All the applications were installed at the same time so I assume they were all install to the same location. Your idea could be a valid one though. I have noticed Froyo is scanning for media each time the device is turned on. It's posible the icons are lost as a result of not retaining this information until the scan picks up on it.

Yep found out the Market/AppBrain had created a new profile as a result of the phones identification changing from phone to Samsung Galaxy S. Moving the applications across solved the problem.

I did a complete clean of the device and left the external memory card out of it while installing. All issues appear to be resolved for now but will continue to monitor it.
Found a new problem. Movie playback. Sound and video is out of sync by as much as 10 sec.
The movie plays perfectly on my laptop. Its a divx which I was led to believe can be played on this device. 25frames per sec video, sound is 112kbps, 2 channel, 48khz.
Any thoughts on this issue.
Problem solved.
Looks like Samsung lost the plote on this issue as well.
Running the movie in the built in player results in a sync problem between sound and video, 5 to 10sec.
Play the movie in Rockplayer Universal and the movie plays perfectly.
Is their an alternative player I can use which is free?
Mvideoplayer is be your cup of tea

Mvideoplayer it is then.
Noticed when I add an external SD, Froyo creates two folders on the SD. Namely .android_secure and LOST.DIR
Any ideas on what creates these and for what or why?
Mvideoplayer has the same issues as the internal Samsung player. Out of sync sound and video. I get the feeling Samsung buggered something up with the coding for xvid and divx.
Two players with the same issues.
When I tested Rockplayer Universal it asked me if I should use the SystemMode or NormalMode. SystemMode I think uses Samsung System Files in some way and the result was a problem with alignment sound and video. Tested Rockplayer Universal in NormalMode I think used it's own internal files and it ran perfectly.
I guess JP6 is not as release worthy as we think it is.
When i first installed JP6 via kies had problems with apps not appearing on the android widget screen, the market icon didn't appear needed to do a facotry reset for that one, was slow and lagged. When i'm browsing for apps in the market place, using the 3g network, there was a constant error message popping up and couldn't download.
OCLF didn't work at first! needed to do a factory reset and then run the oclf, after which most of these problems seem to have been resolved, don't know how but now runs smoothly. Big thanks to ryan!!!!! samsung should employ you for their android software development team.
God help the sgs newbies who don't know about android, i jumped ship from the iphone 3g.

Using APK Manager to fix apps that won't install under CM6.1b2.

I downloaded APK Manager from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
then based on what ibrickeditithink stated (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2602) I pulled apart two game apk files, angry birds and fruit ninja (since I know that one works) and looked for differences that I could comprehend.
My best guess effort was that fruit ninja had this listed in their android Manifest.xml file
android:installLocation="auto"
whereas angry birds said something about installing to external card only. I figured since the mapping was messed up on our tablets that this would be a good place to start so I modified the xml file, used the APK manager to repackage it and pushed it though adb install to my gtab. it installed succesfully and there was an icon in my launcher for angry birds, i clicked it to open the file and my screen went blank and I could hear the music for angry birds but no video. I had to hit the back button to exit the game.
I'm not a programmer (not since q-basic anyways) so seeing as how I was already in over my head I decided to try again another day but i kept all the exploded files for both games to compare again in the future. Maybe somebody with some actual knowledge can step in at this point and fix that last little bit that is killing the video?

Hey. Can you post your modified file for Angry Birds here?

I might be able to get away with posting the androidmanifest.xml but I think posting the entire apk might go against forum rules. Although being a free app it might not apply, any mods want to clarify this?
rename the extension on this file from .zip to .xml before you re-package, you'll notice I also changed the allow ads value to false from true.
I am curious if the music is "in game" or just music when the game first loads. It could be the reason for no video is that it is trying to pull data from where the game expects to see it, but can not.
That, or Tegra 2 and Angry Birds are not video friendly.
Could be that the header fixes install problems but Tegra 2 is still an issue.
I'm pretty sure it's because it doesn't have Tegra support yet. I got these errors from logcat:
E/linker ( 4764): bionic/linker/linker.c:693| WARNING: `/data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/lib/libangrybirds.so` is not a prelinked library
E/linker ( 4764): 895 mapping library 'libangrybirds.so' at 80800000 (index 00000008) through buddy allocator.
The library folder has two ARM folders inside, each with a libangrybirds.so file.
Changing the storage location does solve the problem installing it, however. The lack of Tegra support seems to be why no video shows.

[Q] phiremod v4 font and video playback

Hi there,
I just flashed phiremod v4 on my nook color and I absolutely love it, except for 2 things:
1) How can I change font to the default one? This custom font makes my eyes bleed when reading twitter
2) I tried to play some m4v files with movies, that were playing normally on froyo, and got "Sorry, this video cannot be played" message. What should I do to make it play?
Thanks a lot!
Been debating between phiremod v4 Gingerbread 2.3.2, phiremod BETA 2 Froyo 2.2.1. Currently 2.1 overclocked at 1.1. One of the main issues for me is video playback. When I use Movies or RockPlayer Lite with hardware acceleration everything is great. If I turn off hardware acceleration RockPlayer Lite sync is terrible. I have read the for phiremod v3 that RockPlayer Lite worked but because of the lack of hardware acceleration had the sync issues. Guess only way to get proper video playback with phiremod v4 or higher is to wait until the developers add it to the nightly. Does the phiremod BETA 2 allow hardware acceleration since they were playing normally in Froyo?
phiremod v4 Gingerbread 2.3.2 is not support video playback...
I hope the developer will get this work soon..
Guys, any clues about changing the font to the default Android font?
Also, I would be grateful if somebody'll mention these 2 problems in phiremod topic in Developers branch(here), since I don't have enough posts to write there.
lschroeder,
sorry, don't have an answer about BETA2, I will probably try it tomorrow and write the results here.
I went over to androidtablets.net and to this thread [ROM][Feb. 15 2011] >> phiremod nook BETA 2 << Themed Froyo 2.2.1
There are several reports of video not playing correctly in BETA 2.
I just burnt the image to my 8gb sd card and installed it in the NC. then I rebooted the NC and all is well. do I now turn off my NC and take the sd card out or just run the NC off the sd card all the time?

You can remove the SD card and boot from nook. But be sure to format your SD from computer, not from the nook, before you will start using it as usual storage.

Question Regarding Stock Rooted

- There are some missing apps. I have even installed the new market and they do not show. For example, I get Angry Birds Seasons, but not Angry Birds. I go to the Android Market Website and it even shows this as well. NFS: Shift is another example as well. I believe these should work with 2.1?
- Movies: Audio seems to be a bit quiet on MP4 files. However, these were all converted from Apple's M4V. (I haven't found a program that goes from DVD -> MP4. I did I not think Handbrake does this? Any recommendations?
- I bought mine used on Craigslist for $230 (including the case). Pretty good deal, in perfect shape. Although, there seems to be a "dead" pixel that shows up blue in dark (especially black) screens. I assume there is no way around this?
Is there a way to NANDROID a backup to my Auto Nooter 3.0 setup and flash a CM7 or HC ROM to the internal memory. And then wipe data and go back to Auto Nooter if need be? Or do these ROMs require a MicroSD Card--no other way?

[Q] _ Moving installed apps to SD Card, how ?

Searched the forum and did not see anything directly for Nook HD/+ or CM so im here...
I would like to move some programs (more so games) to a SD Card and just pop the card in when i want to play the games.
Is this possible ?
Would this work for "fast paced" graphic games like race car games (reading off SD card) ?
Could i use symlinks form the games org install location and point them to the SD Card ?
_
I wouldn't mind knowing about this either, I have titanium backups which usually has an option to move things to SD and there isn't any option for the Nook.
About the question for racing games, I doubt there would be any issue as I've had all my games installed to SD on my old Evo 3D and I never noticed a degradation in game play. Perhaps slightly longer load times, but I can't say I noticed any.

I use GL to SD to move game data to the SD card, and it works for most games just fine. I have a 32GB Sandisk Ultra, and I am running CM 10.2.
