Newb experience with CM 5.0.7 on G1

Howdy folks,
First of all, thanks to Cyanogen for 5.0.7!
After running out of patience on the the hope that TMo would come out with a new phone to compete with the Droid, Incredible, Evo, etc, I decided to root my G1. I wanted 2.1 and A2SD because I would love to buy more apps from the Market, but my G1 just didn't have the damn space... until now.
So I rooted my G1 using the Amon Ra recovery and CM 5.0.7.
After I rooted, I installed the latest radio (2.22.32.02), flashed Danger SPL, rebooted, flashed CM 5.0.7 and flashed GApps. I didn't do any wipes since I had never rooted my phone.
When the phone booted, the apps did not show up. So I went back to to recovery, did a wipe and flashed GApps first, then flashed CM 5.0.7 and rebooted. Everything works great. Runs fast.
I took the advice of a friend and installed SetCPU (paid for it) and Auto Memory Manager. I've noticed that my battery doesn't charge as quickly and that there is some noticeable lag on the phone. I had my phone plugged in all night last night and the phone wasn't fully charged. I finally uninstalled SetCPU and the phone is charging properly again. Also, the phone is snappier.
My questions:
1) Did I do something wrong by flashing GApps before the CM Rom? Do I need to do it over again even though my phone is working properly?
2) Now that my phone is working properly, do I need to create a backup/recovery?
3) After having successfully flashed CM 5.0.7, do I need to Wipe anything (ie ext 2, ext 3)? During the root process, I created a 96mb and 512mb partitions. From my understanding, the CM Rom occupies the 96mb ext and the 512mb ext is for A2SD. Why does the phone only show 457mb of space? I thought it should be 512mb.
4) I backed up all the data on my SD card onto my PC before formatting it during the root process. How do I restore all my apps and such so that everything works like it did before rooting?
Thanks for any help. Will be donating to Cyanogen

1.Your fine, as long as you flashed them and they show up your good.
2. If you want, and it definitely can't hurt. It doesn't look like you will be doing too many crazy hacks to it since your still a beginner. It's also better to make a stable rom be your backup instead of experimental one.
3. No idea, try a repartition if you get any problems, but don't mess with it if it ain't brocken lol.
4. How did you backup your data? Did you use a backup app from the market? If so, download the app you used and put all the files from your pc back onto your memory card. Then, hit the "restore" option.
Welcome to XDA! Here is a mod for a black notification bar by cloverdale that I prefer to the plain white one. Flash from recovery if you like.

Thanks for the reply.
#3. I didn't use a backup app. I just copied everything onto my hdd. Am I SOL since I didn't use a backup app and just have to reinstall everything manually?

So your phone stores its apps on INTERNAL, and you copied files from your SD(EXTERNAL) stop and think for a minute if your apps are on A and you copied B, your apps are gone.

I messed up. What I wanted to say is that some of the apps that I had installed on my phone also had data/database files associated to it that it saved on the SD card (ie Aldiko, OI Notes, etc) Is there a way to re-associate those once I reinstall those programs? I re-installed Aldiko and it would not read the library db file so I had to re-download the books. I should have used a backup app. Well, live and learn. I'm going to re-install OI Notes and OI Shopping and transfer those files over to see.
Update: Well, looks like it didn't work. OI Notes and OI Shopping doesn't read the files I had created before rooting. Should have use a backup program.
Which is better: Titanium or Mybackup Pro?

market help

okay, so ive flashed a few roms and gotten pretty comfortable with it, however i need help getting the market to work
it opens, and i can see all the apps, but when i hit download it just says "starting download" and doesnt change.
can someone help? im new to the nook color, but ive flashed many roms on my htc aria.

Hi, I am a newb too Here's what I've read about your issue.....
Use Nook Color Tools:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > (Filter by all) Market > Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Services Framework > Clear Data > Force Close
Reboot

That worked great! Thanks!

From my experience doing the above only yields more apps and not all the apps like the newest CM7 build.
It's still easier and faster to just download to pc and than place it in a folder in your SD card and use astro to install it.

I've tried the above fix, and it just won't work for me. Does it matter that I'm running HC through an sd card? And just to clarify, when you say reboot, are you simply saying turn the nc off and then back on, or is there another, more official, reboot persay? Thanks! I'm a very new newb. I just got the market, gmail, etc. on there yesterday. Last thing I need to get working is being able to download from the market and then it'll be all good. Thanks!
One question for the guy that recommended downloading the apk to computer and then putting it on sd card...since I'm running HC by sd card, it doesn't appear that I have access to actually access the sd card when it's connected to the computer. It would show up as a disk drive, but it won't let me in it (saying something like no disc in drive). I can get adb up as that's how I got market on there in the first place. What would I have to do from there to get it on the Nook? Thanks for your help.

another 'solution' that seems to work well for me is to log into your "talk" application and then try to download from market...

Just tried the Talk signing in. Never tried it before. It "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." So whatever problem I'm having appears to be affecting that too. Ugh. Really didn't want to have to start from scratch, but guess I'm going to have to do that and see if it works then.

I'm having the same issues. 1) the market seems to be missing apps that I can see from my desktop. 2) I can't load apk files (or music or any other file) to NC. I can get the Market loaded via adb, my computer sees the Nook Color and the two drives (internal and SD card) but I can't access either of them. Is it because I'm running HC from the SD card? 3) is there a way for my desktop pc and the android market to recognize the NC so I can install apps from my desktop?
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Reverting Nook Color HELP PLEASE

So I bought a used (barely) nook color off of craigslist today for 200 with a screen protector and 8 GB transcend class 6 microSD. The guy I bought it from had his google account on it though so I tried to remove it. Basically I did the imaging through terminal (i cantp ost a link) and put the new stuff on and now it says my memory stick is damaged (even though it mounts on my computer) and it freezes my NC whenever it is in
I'm basically wonder, HOW CAN I GET MY CM7 2.3 NC to reset itself so I can put my own account on it. I have searched but can't find anything that good, as I have clockwork, but the rom is installed ON the NC internal, not on the microSD...Please help me out in some kind of step by step way. I rooted my droid eris myself, but starting with it pre-rooted has messed me up.

You should have ROM manager on there already. Reflash CM7 and wipe data...should take you to a fresh install.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

So what step do I start out if I have clockwork mod on there already? I dont have recovery though.

Go into your programs and open ROM Manager (this assumes that you already have clockworkmod installed). Make sure that you have a micro SD card in the Nook with your desired CM7 build (either nightly or stable). Then Click on Install ROM from SD Card. Click on the ROM that you want to flash. It will then give you the option to Backup Existing ROM and/or Wipe Data and Cache. Go ahead and select Wipe Data and Cache. Hit OK and the Nook will do the rest automagically. (ROM Manager may request Superuser status, go ahead and grant it or it will not work). After you regain control, you should have a fresh, clean install of CM7 to work from.

[Q] Putting rooted CM7 OS and Apps on bootable SD card?

Ok, first off let me say that I am a new member and love the site. There is a ton of great information on the site, but I seem to be having trouble finding an answer to my specific situation.
After hearing about honeycomb and gingerbread being installed on the NC, I decided to give it a shot. After reviewing each OS, I decided on going with gingerbread. I followed a youtube video and a few threads on XDA and eventually installed the gingerbread OS, Gapps, and Netflix.apk files on my Nook. Everything worked fairly well and I was happy.
My question to you all is, would there be a way to take all the apps, OS, etc. that I currently have on my Rooted NC and make an image of it to then put on a bootable SD card?
My ideal end result would be to have:
1. a Bootable SD card with my current apps, OS, etc. on it.
2. a freshly restored nook color.
3. the ability to either remove the SD card to switch between the GB/NC OS, or have a boot option when booting up the Nook.
Any help with this process would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Nick (Nudarkshadowl)

[Q] Nook HD keeps booting into CWM/Cyanoboot

I have two NookHD+ but bought a HD for one of my sons. Got it yesterday and went about trying to figure out how to get CM 11 or 10.2 on it.
So took me forever to figure out it won't boot to SD without the power cable plugged in, even if battery is full. Whatever.
1. So created boot SD with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Wiped and then installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip
3. Tried to install cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip but failed saying something like "System 7" (not sure about "System" but 7 I'm sure about.)
Gave up on CM11, decided to try 10.2
1. Did a restore, wiped, then installed cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
2. Now with SD card removed it boots to CWM. I thought it might be something to do with cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip so I tried cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip but it still boots to CWM with the card removed.
Previosuly I screwed the pooch with one of the HD+and I had a stock ROM, but can't seem to find one for the HD.
Anyway, I hope someone had the answer please, son was using it a little stock and it's just plain broken now, so I feel like a jerk. HELP!:crying:

If possible, try starting from the beginning. Installing CM11 for many users has been problematic; so I'd recommend CM10.x for now.
Insert your SD card into your computer's card reader, and format it using SDFormatter. Now using your preferred tool, burn the .img file to your SD card (NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img).
Once burned, download a stable version of CM10.2.1 (or 10.1.3 if you prefer) from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hummingbird&type=stable and download gapps from: http://goo.im/gapps for the version of CM you download. Also download "CWM Recovery zip" (cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip) for Nook HD at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319000 (on the 5th paragraph). Once you have downloaded all three files, place them on your SD card.
Now eject your SD card from the computer. Turn your Nook off. Place the SD card in, and turn your Nook on (if your Nook does not boot from the SD card, do whatever method works for you to get it to boot). Once booted into CWM Recovery via SD card, install "cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip", now reboot your device. Make sure you're in this version of the recovery. Now clear your cache partition, and install both CM and Gapps.
After flashing/install, try rebooting. Hopefully you should be able to boot into CyanogenMod. If not, reply back please and I have another definite trick up my sleeve.
All the best.

The reason the CM11 did not install without an error message is it needs a newer version of CWM to flash it.
And you may need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the plain stock zip from item 6. That aborted CM11 install probably messed up your internal memory. Then you can start clean with CM10.2.

Thank you, I'll try it now, Formatted with SDFormatter and Burning NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img now (takes a while for whatever reason, class 4 card)
I'll then install...
1. Install cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip - Reboot
2. Clear Cache, Wipe then
3. install cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip And gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
Thank you, stay tuned for results!

Yeah you saved my HD+ with the stock image last time, but I can't seem to find the link or I don't recognize it. I must be blind, I'll go look closer...
Thank you
Edit, found it! thank you, helped that you told me "Item 6"

Ok, got it working and I got it working with CW11.
HiddenG, I tried your steps as best I could and no love from the Nook. After getting NookHD-stock-2.1.1-rooted.zip and installing it from the CWM that was burned on to the SD, the unit appeared to be back to stock. So I'll document the rest for others trying to install CW11 on the NookHD.
1. Burned a SD card with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Copied cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip, cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed to SD.
3. Booted from SD and cleared cache/wiped. Installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip. (Cleared cache/wiped again because I'm never sure on the order of such things)
4. Removed SD card and booted from the internal CWM (the one installed from cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5) by holding down nook sign and powering on.
5. Installed cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed. Cleared cache/wiped again because figured it was good to do ensure it was done.??
6. Remove SD card and Rebooted via the CWM menu.
7. Enjoying CW11
Thank you both for leapinlar & HiddenG for your help. You've saved the day and made my son a happy little guy again! :victory:

Haha, glad you got your son's Nook working again. Restoring to stock firmware/ROM was actually my last "definite trick up my sleeve." Anyhow, I'm happy for you!
Enjoy.
