Cyanogenmod Question

Hey, i'm having an issue with cyanogenmod 7 on my Nook Color. Switched from cupcake because I thought I'd have greater compatibility with apps. Since the change, programs that once worked (e.g. snesoid, beautifu widgets) won't book. Just get hung and ask me if I want to force close. I'm using the tablet tweaks and everything... is this just how it is, or did I mess up somewhere along the line? Thanks.

I can't speak for the specific apps or ROM ur using, but yeah this happens with the occasional app. Remember that u r using an unfinished product. It will get better as CM refines it. Android as a whole is a buggy system. Its never going to be as functional as something like iOS.

Did you wipe either Cache and/or Data partitions before flashing CM7? Wiping the Data partition will wipe all installed applications and settings, however, it will prevent any weird issues arising from incompatible settings across different ROMs and OS versions.
I don't know about snesoid, but my personal experience is that BW works very well in CM7.

Sounds like something's wrong. My Beautiful Widgets works great. I'd try reinstalling using these instructions:

I have similar problems with both Beautiful Widgets and the XDA app. When I log into the XDA app, it gives me a force close pop up. However, when I use the XDA app without logging in, I don't have any problems.
Which instructions are you referring to in that MASSIVE 100+ page post?
Thanks.

The first post on that page.. That's how I flashed CM7 (pretty standard method, really) and I have no problems with Beautiful Widgets. Haven't tested XDA app. To be honest, I have problems with XDA app on my Droid 1, CM7, so I never use it.

Thanks everyone! I installed following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
I will give it another shot and report back when I do. Right now I've gone back to cupcake, but still having a problem with beautiful widgets- gets stuck on the "loading skins" screen, never loads.
p.s. I *did* wipe the cache and data partitions

"Cupcake"?? I think you mean "Eclair"?
Cupcake was many versions ago, before the Nook existed, and the Nook Color ships with Eclair...

So, I switched to cyanogen, but I couldn't get beautiful widgets or snesoid to run. Trying to revert to factory settings, but every time I try I get stuck on the word ANDROID in blue.
I've tried hard booting 8x, I've tried running the script to change the bootcount but this just gets me to clockworkmod. I try running the factory reset/data wipe option, but it clearly doesn't remove cyanogen. I've also tried sideloading a 1.1 version zip, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Would uninstalling clockworkmod help?

Are you sure you followed the 8-failed-boots method precisely? That really should have brought you back to stock, at least as far as I understand.
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM

I really do think so. It brought me to clockwork recovery instead of the usual factory reset...

Well I'm out of my league (I haven't done this) but it seems there are still ways... You could check out http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...install-cwr-save-root-revert-stock-image.html or do some searches here.

Now I'm stuck on the N sign instead of android... Tried everything in the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 including the boot partition. No dice. The only way i can get it to boot is to reinstall cyanogen. Is there some trick to uninstalling cyanogen? Any other suggestions out there?

It seems like cyanogen just WON'T WIPE. Even when I format my data, it still loads, despite clockworkmod reporting that it has been formatted. Ideas please!

Check at androidtablets dot net
look for the link about restoring and removing clockwork from an SD card. I'd post the link but I can't yet.

Bummer. Yeah, that's the link. You might want to look in Nookdev too. They oulined a process that was similar, but they said you have to do the image restore AND unregister... though it's been a while since I've looked at it. It might be more helpful. Good luck in getting it back to stock.

This is unfortunate. I had been under the impression it was a LOT easier to get back to stock. (I still bet someone who knows will give you the right guidance.)
Oh well, I guess it's a good argument for using SD card booting exclusively -- I can't wait for a final CM7 SD Card ISO.

Unable to download from Google App Market

Hi guys,
I have recently downloading the new Cyanogenmod for the Milestone, and although its a pretty good mod, I haven't been able to download things from google market. I have installed GAPPS when it was required, and I can navigate the market fine, it even picks up my bought purchases. However, when I click on download,it says that it is downloading but the bar doesn't move. I;ve reflashed and rebooted numerous times but that doesnt seem to have fixed the problem. I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same thing and if so, how could I fix it?
I have plenty of space on my phone and my SD card too so I can't see where the problem lies.
update, I have looked around a little, and it may be a problem that I cannot connect to googletalk server. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Also, switching from wireless to 3g to 2g doesn't seem to help either.

Having the same problem with my X10! Will show updates for my existing apps but when I click on them to update it just states that they are downloading and they never update! I have power cycles the phone, stopped the update, installed the Google market updates and tried again, still the same result!
I have a rooted X 10 with 2.1.
Anybody else having the same problem?

totally weird, but everything seems to be in working order now. I didn't do anything at all either.

I had to connect to flashtool and reload the os to get it working again!
Tried finding just the market .she file but wasn't sure which one was the one that was messed up! Didn't want to make it worse so just flashed the whole OS

i faced the same problem too, i've been coping with this for about 2 months on CM6 and now it's kinda getting in my nerves. I can't download from the Market and it's annoying when i want to download some apps in a big hurry. I see that i'm not the only one facing this problem, but may i ask for help here? what can i do to fix this problem? you have my thanks

Did you try flashing the OS again or reloading the CM6 ROM? Mine has been working fine since I flashed my OS again.

Wipe data, then flash the ROM. Google Apps you need to wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache AFTER flashing the ROM.

Having the same problem here, with froyomod.
With cm7 i didn't have any problem at all. Maybe because i flashed 2 weeks ago..

Having the same problem from many days and also cm7 is laggy although I still use it. Somebody recommend something please.

I used to have this problem after extendend periods without a wifi connection... it seemed like my purchases would only download on wifi, whereas free apps would d/l on cellular networks

I do have Market problems from time to time, being unable to download. I've try pretty much everything but nothing helped, except: waiting! If apps fail to download constantly, they'll do just fine the next day ...
It seems that the Market has internal problems that cause this. Also I have this behaviour once in a while: viewing "my apps" in the Market will sometimes (!) only show me the Google Apps (Maps, YouTube, etc.) and all the ones that I purchased but *no* free apps at all.
Same again: waiting some time will restore the original (and correct) list.

I think that might just be the limitations of the Gapps we flash. I get those same issues, but a simple reboot fixes everything, nothing to worry about!

[Q] Why are old apps already installed after fresh wipe and ROM install?

Hey guys,
I'm new at posting in the forums, so I apologize if I have put this in the wrong section. I read a lot of posts, but this is the first time i have posted a thread, ever. =P
Anyway, I have a Rooted White T-Mobile G1, I was running the somewhat recent build of Roalex's COS-DS ROM, and it started to get really sluggish and I was having a few other problems. (I love that ROM, and he has done a great job, I just felt like a change.) So I went to install Ginger Yoshi 1.4 after doing a nand backup, SD Wipe, and SuperWipe. Once i finished installing the ROM, I rebooted my phone and it started fine and everything. Then it asked me to choose which home I wanted... Which was confusing, considering it was a fresh wipe. I should only have 1 Home launcher on there. I realized that I have several apps from past times. (as in, a WHILE ago. I haven't had these apps for over a month easily...) I tried another wipe and install. Still to no avail... I did some searching and I couldn't find anything that could help me. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to explain in some detail. Anyone have any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
--Doogle

I don't know this rom, but nowadays many roms have a backup functionality included and they are backing up the old (g)apps, flash the rom and re-install (some of) the old apps again.
"Some" because normally there is a list of apps to be backed up and re-installed. If your launcher is on that list and the rom has a different one pe-installed you then have two.
If you want to be sure to get a "clean" installation, use
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Or flash ohsaka super wipe before flashing the rom.

Sorry, I should have specified, the "SuperWipe" that I mentioned above, is Ohsaka Super Wipe... I have flashed it many times, and reflashed the ROM many times as well... Still having the apps installed. The wierdest part of it all, is that they don't seem to be using my sd card space OR internal space, almost as if they are somehow from the EXT4 partition I have, and they never got erased... The odd thing is, is that I never figured out how to move stuff to EXT, so there shouldn't be anything on there...

My guess would be that these "old" apps were downloaded originally from the market. If you are registering the phone with the same account you were using before, the market will download and install all the apps again from the market.

Well the reason it couldn't be that, is that I actually don't have a data plan. I always skip sign in, and then enable WiFi. So the apps wouldn't be able to download until after I was signed in to my account. Yet, they are there right when I start :/
This is a very odd, occurance. Haha. Thanks you two for your responses though.

[Q] Market stuck at "starting download"

Have this problem for 3 days already. Tried to flash to another ROM and it doesn't help. Googled this problem, looks like is a ton of complaints from people experiencing this problem but I can't find any actual solution. Can you help please? I'm tired of this already. Did a factory reset too and it didn't help.
Help please.

Yeah, had this issue some times with the new market.
Yesterday, when it happened again, I just cleared market app data and re-tried.
It worked.
Don't know if it'll last though..

Yeah mate, looks like it helps in some cases. But i tried it many times and it didn't help. I found a solution that deals something with "gmail" and "GoogleMail", but i don't know how to make a @googlemail e-mail.

So you've also tried deleting "Download manager" app data and "Google Services Framework" app data?

I have tried old and new markets, including latest 3.1.5. It doesn't help. Also i tried to clear Download manager app data. But I haven't tried deleting google services framework app data. I can't try it now because i don't have access to the wi-fi.
I think if your advice will not help i'll flash stock GB ROM.

Android Market needs the Google Talk service to download and update applications. Without Google Talk, more downloads from the market ... I think
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773272

do you use droidwall or something?

@ batahulu, don't think that's my problem, I don't think I've deleted any files by mistake and my Google talk workable fine. thanks tho.
@Dr.wtf., no not using it. I am using lookout and avg but I turned these off and tried too thinking it might be some firewall or sumat but still nothing... I don't know what more to try as I've done nearly everything I can find short of a factory reset. thanks mate

i had this problem long ago whaen i was in amertis ROM....... i tried many things like clearing cache, reinstalling the rom, clear data, even changing google account......but unfortunately it didnt helped..... then googled it and found that its a "CUSTOM ROM" problem.....
then after changing the rom it was fixed......
so my suggestion is that keep trying different ROM....
Goodluck

I've the market stuck on starting download only when I buy a paid app. Strange the free ones download just fine.
Samsung Galaxy s2 android 2.3.6

Yeah exactly the same here, two paid apps are stuck while at the same time I can download free ones.... I tried to download on pc but still not working
Taz..

I had the same problem,...
another rom was my only way to get it working...

I signed into Google wallet on the pc and put in my credit card details again, Google then sent me email asking me to confirm my date of birth and would you believe about 2 hrs later my market started working. Before this I only put my details in from my phone and think that may have been the problem, I think it may be worth a try...
Taz..

Push from Google Play
I've got a Motorola XT720 experiencing this problem as well, and I've tried all the wiping-related methods to no avail. However, I found another workaround that doesn't seem to have been discussed so far.
If I go to the Google Play Accounts web page (sorry, no link - new user), I can use the "Install" button to remotely command my phone to download the app.
It works for a couple tries, then I have to reboot, but at least it gets me somewhere. Hopefully this method can help others too.

Need help on recent rooted+CM9 rom

Hi. I'm having a really big problem and a hard time trying to get my phone back to how it was. I was able to do a backup with CWM rom manager before i flashed to CM9. The reason why i want to go back to the ROM that came with my phone is because i'm not able to mount my SD card. I tried it in the recovery reboot menu. I mounted everything, then when it reboots, i go into settings and try to mount both the external SD and the internal SD card, The external one mounts, but i still can't see anything from it. And the internal never mounts.
So i did use the back up utility, and now when i go to restore, It says that the MD5 checksum aren't matching up or something. I'm also scared because it says that the battery is not charging. I've turned the phone off and am letting it charge now to see if it'll charge. But it was down to 11%, And i'm starting to get scared cause i might be without a phone. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
How can i wipe CM9 and go back to the ROM that came with my samsung 4g exhibit II when i got it? this is what it was before;
exhibit ii 4g
sgh-t679
android 2.3.6
kernel 2.6.35.7-perf (I didn't upgrade this)
build #: gingerbread uvle1
P.S. After i rooted it and flashed it into the root_kit. I then flashed it into "cm-9-20121125-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo". So this is the rom that's giving me the problem. I really hope someone understands what's going on and can help me. I just want to go back to how it was before. And 1 more thing. I can only browse the sd card through wondershare mobilego for android. All my files are still there, But i can't see them on the phone, Just through USB connection.
Thank you so much

Go into cwm wipe system 3 times dalvic cache and so on, then restore, or you can just do a clean install of the ROM you wish.

Oh wait, Something good happened. I read somewhere else that i might have to format the internal sd card. I just did that and now i'm able to see my external sd card. all my music and pics are here. Hmmm, weird... now i'm going to try and backup the texts and logs that i saved from mobilego. but i still might want to go back to the factory rom because the screen was bigger.

I just can't flash the gapps .zip file. It says that it can't open and then it just says (bad). So i can't connect my google account to my droid as it stands.

Download gapps again. And flash, Do not restore system apps, only do user apps

I upgraded to CM10. Now the gps doesn't work. also the usb connection doesn't work so i can't load the cm9 i don't think. If i wipe the ROM, will that load it back to the factory one? or will it make my phone useless?
Update: Ok, I'm able to connect via wifi with Mobilego. Should i upload root-stock.zip and flash that so it can go back to gingerbread (or whatever the ROM is called that is the basic one that was on before i changed?)
Update 2: I'm just having a problem with GPS. in google maps (a program i do use a lot), Is not able to get my current location. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem from CM10

Root-stock.zip will not get you back to gingerbread. You should read the t679 XDA wiki. Five or six times even.

Ok look, a general rule of thumb whenever you are installing a new rom, do a full Rom wipe = Factory Reset. Then flash your new rom. Then proceed to install the necessary Gapps. Then clear cache and dalvik cache. Then fix permissions. Then your set. The only time you can install a rom over another rom is if its an update, from the exact same rom and same os.

Soooo happy with CM10

I This I clear the cache, dalvik cache (and maybe even data). I wiped everything in that menu except ROM and system. It was my first time working with this. I did it in less then a week of lightly reading about it. I'll make sure to remember that man.
Thanks
:good:
P.S. I LOVE CM10. This ROM is just phenomenal. I couldn't believe my eyes when i went from Android 2.3.6 to Android 4.1.2. This site has helped me a lot. Please are very friendly and i appreciate that a lot.
Thanks once again, this site is very helpful.
