CM7 Sleep Fix Progress? - Nook Color General

I've been busy lately so I'm having difficulty staying on top of the latest news. What's the progress with CM7 and it's insomnia?(sleep troubles) I love CM7 but if it keeps being a Vampire my Battery will be at risk and I'll have to switch ROMs. Any News?

Dalingrin is working on the .32 kernel, the future successor to our current kernel. He has fixed the sleep issue in this new kernel but he still has work to do on other aspects of it. This has all happened fairly recently so stay tuned.

It would be sweet if the fix gets the battery performance to be as good as that of Stock 1.2!
Waiting eagerly for the release. Using Froyo 0.6.8 R7 in the meantime.

is it just me or CM7 in general goes through a battery noticeably faster? I guess I can try doing a simple comparison using the browser or something.

Between the overclocked kernel and the fact that it doesn't go into a deep sleep, yes, CM7 currently consumes battery very quickly relative to stock. It sounds like the new kernel will address the latter, but you're always going to pay some cost for higher performance with an overclocked kernel while you're actually using the NOOK.

I haven't overclocked anything, I have it set at 800 max in the setup.

Then it's most likely due to the lack of deep sleep.

I don't have time to read all the threads and other things. You know how many things are posted there. I loose hours just reading through threads and I don't have hours to do so right now. So any info on the Sleep Fix would be appreciated.

So
I'm running the latest nightly, and I highly recommend everyone at least flash up to n63. In there Dal was able to get the speaker to shutup when it's sleeping (you'll still hear the buzz when the screen is on, but when off...nice and quiet )
That, plus the 1.3GHz kernel, I'm getting MUCH better battery, and it seems snappier (and has since the base changed to 2.3.4).

Sweet, I prefer to stay as stable as possible but with these updates I'm pretty much sold on at least updating to your specified version. Unfortunately I'm away from home at the moment and this Net connection is slow. I prefer making an Image Backup before I update anyway, just incase. That way I can always Flash back if anything screwy goes on.

Glad to know I'm not the only one to see an improvement on 63, but... I have not been able to replicate it since. I had better than 0.25%/hour right after flashing but have been close to 1% in the day since. Oh well. Someday...

Any new Progress?

Hint, its in the dev forum (as previously hinted at 8 hours ago by the previous poster).

The new Beta 2 solve the sleep issue. Lot of dev over there, progressing to Beta 3

I was busy at the time and couldn't check, it takes time to look through a forum which I didn't have but making a post on a already started topic takes a minute. Now, I have free time to check myself.

I have nightly 70 running now and the sleep issue can be put to bed. CM7 is now all it should be. I guess I will wait a bit longer for kinks (although everything seems fine for me) to be worked out and I can finally flash to eMMC and ditch the stock rooted ROM.

[Q] JF6 vs JH2/JH3

I'm fairly new to all this droid stuff and been learning all kinds of stuff from this forum. I have one big question and that is what is the difference between JF6 compared to JH2/JH3? My captivate has JF6 and I've seen the firmware updates for the others. Is there any major improvements or am I better off sticking with what I have?
I think JH3 is quicker and seems a bit more stable, its also newer.
One thing to watch out for is the logging that comes with JH2/3. There are some easy remedies to fix it though.
Im currently using JH3 matched with unhelpful's 1.2 Kernel v1.1 and SRE1.0 My phone is performing the best it ever has.

how is your battery performance now with jh3.
the gps on jf6 for me is amazing i've only used it twice but both times it was all good, very accurate on maps, so i hope its the same or better if it can get better.
Battery performace seems normal, maybe draws a bit quicker with the overclock.
GPS locks in 4 to 5 seconds. Then again i have some tweaks built in with SRE.

[KERNEL] [gpl] Trinity UV11, CM7/modaco/stock, 2.6.35.13 - bfs404

There was often a request for Trinity with UV instead of OC, no OC at all, well, here it is. 1100MHz of undervolted almost stock battery saving goodness.
This 2.3.4 Kernel is for CM7, modaco and stock roms will be updated later
BLN (Backlight notification) (Big Thanks Neldar! buy his app for blinking notification)
Based on 2.3.4 Gingerbread source.
Upgraded 2.6.35.13 base
At almost stock 1.1GHz with decent amount of UV
Trinity bootanimation by @rascarlo
TUN (Tunneling/VPN support)
CIFS (Samba support)
EXT4 mount fix (CM now picked this up for /data already)
Voodoo Sound v8 (cm7) (Thanks supercurio)
Voodoo Color (Thanks supercurio)
Flash issues fixed
USB fixed
A little note on blinking with BLN, it will use more power, static lights as notification you wouldn't have to worry about if you are worried about your battery, your 100 extra apps use way more than BLN.
Thread will be closed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036996 is going to be the main one.
maybe I'll need this later

Lame question here - does this kernel provides the benefits of a good Voodoo kernel with an excellent battery life? That's why the UV?

That is exactly what this is for.

the op is newer. the number 8 i posted is the same but has slightly more voltage. its better for phones experiencing instability with the kernel posted in the op. just like being overclocked, not all phones will be stable stable with all amounts of undervolting.

Goodbye Nooksters!

I've had a lot of fun with my Nook, and have made all my friends envious. But the thing that dampened my enthusiasm is the poor battery life. I am running CM7 off of a micro SD card, and I swear, I have to fully charge this thing every other day ... and that's with minimal usage.
I also found the screen size kind of tiring for any lengthy forays to the Internet, and was constantly hitting the wrong links on pages because the text type is so small (yes, I did frequently zoom in when I had to).
Well, I've been sitting on the fence about buying a 10-inch Honeycomb tablet, and doing a lot of research in the meanwhile.
But today I got the push I needed when I opened up my email and received a $100-off coupon for any tablet at Staples. So, I hopped in my car and picked myself up a shiny new Samsung Galaxy 10.1. Have only played with it for a few minutes and it's a lot different than my Nook, so I've got some learning to do.
Meanwhile, my girlfriend is going to be pretty excited when she finds out I am giving her my NC. She's been bugging me for one ever since I got mine. But I may take the SD card out and let her use it stock. She's still have Internet and email access, but the battery life should be a lot better.
Thanks to everyone on these boards who have helped me with my questions.
Everyone has their own preference on screen size (7" is perfect for my needs, 10.1" would annoy the hell out of me), but if you expect better battery life with another device...well, good luck with that. =)
Rodney
1. compare the Galaxy to the NC is apple to pineapple.
2. 10" is bigger than 7" for sure but the trade off is the weight. Can't use it to read when laying out bed
3. Imaging if the NC has $100 off, B&N will burn their stockroom quick.
Anyway, enjoy your Honeycomb tablet.
Oh, btw, I personally think you g/f will jump up/down asking you to give her the Galaxy
You had a good run. Good luck! Personally, 7" is about right for me for something I commute with. Battery life has been fine but I have CM7 on the eMMC so perhaps that makes a difference.
You've probably heard it before, but if you're still using the last stable version, cm 7.0.3, update (for your gf ) to the 7.1 RC1 or Nightly 136. With deep sleep fixed, I've gotten as much as six days of light use out of my NC.
If you're using verygreen's SD image, you'll need an update for that, too, toward the bottom of his OP in that thread.
I'll never understand the point of people that put up threads saying they've decided to with another product.
Fine, the Nook didn't work out for you and you found something better for your tablet needs. But honestly why do I care? I just don't get it.

If you'll be sticking with CM7, do her a favor and put the latest nightly on it. Dalingrin's OC kernel is included now and deep sleep has been fixed since the last stable release.
Nook's size is perfect for me. Battery life hasn't been a problem. The only thing missing for me (and I really mean the only thing, since I'm not looking for a tablet as a laptop replacement) is a means to make Skype calls. We're close with the partially functioning usb, but not there yet.

Bumping up the resolution to 200 or 220 will fix these problems. I'd do this before giving a Nook to anyone. There is a free app in the Market called LCD Density that will do this temporarily. To change the resolution permanently is only a small modification of the build.prop file. EX File Explorer, also free in the Market, will allow you to do that. There are many threads on XDA that will tell you how.

Dalingrin's OC kernel was rolled in as of n132 - all subsequent builds have it, including n138.
FWIW, my battery life is every bit as good with the latest nightlies as stock, if not better.

you should have waited few months and spend same money for quad core ICS with higher res screen. or at least wait couple months for honeycomb dual core omap 44xx like archos g9. in any event overclock the tegra2 and you're probably going to find battery life not much better than cm7 nook color. good luck to you.

Because it's a matter of preference? I have no problem with the NC's default density.
ETA: and a lot of people like a density right around 187, which makes everything a bit bigger without screwing up the status bar, widgets, layouts etc.

Cap is bootlooping on MPD 2.0 .

I need a little help. My I897 is running on MPD 2.0 ROM, w/ EyeCandy v 3.15 and Corn Kernel 7.06, and it is stuck bootlooping at the swirling optical illusion at start-up. I don't know why, all I was doing was playing a couple of games and it was really lagging, and freezing up and it has been a lot lately. I even posted about it yesterday or the day before? Whatever?
So tonight, it just froze while playing a game and it was totally unresponsive so I let it sit. After about 10 minutes, I noticed it was on the optical illusion and stuck with the illusion spinning away. I pulled the battery, restart the phone same thing. Goes through the first start up screens and gets to the swirl thing and goes no further.
I pulled the battery again and replaced it, went into recovery and hit the reboot device and started it up. Same thing.
Should I reflash the Rom? If I do, I have to do a full wipe and that will suck.
Has anyone had this problem on MPD 2.0?
Maybe someone has an answer.
Thanks, whoever tries to help me with this.

I'm not so sure what MPD is but Corn kernel is on GB. Therefor, there's no developping nor support being made for it, which could explain why you got no answer on your previous post.
Luckily, you can get in recovery. Make a backup, wipe cache/dalvik and try to boot up. If that doesn't work, back in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, factory reset and reflash your ROM. Altough, I would suggest looking at the newer ROMs out there as we're up to JB 4.2.1 (you're on GB 2.3.5).
If you go ahead with the upgrade, make sure you follow the full instructions in the OP.
Thanks, I already reflshed and its running. I know that there are newer Roms I only flashed it because I hadn't yet flashed anything from the Collective and the eyecandy theme I wanted to check out also.
But after running great for a couple weeks, it started getting buggy. Now I'm gonna do something else. My SII is running darkside Evolution #5 4.03 by thederekjay w/venom kernel, and I wanted an older Rom in my Cap, for contrast.
I'm not sure what I'll do next. I just needed it running. It is my business line for my electrical contracting company. And it will start ringing in about a ½ hour.
Thanks, for your response and have a great day.

Wait, the collective? The Collective and The Family used to be one team.. Yet I dunno what you mean by MPD?
And if you're looking into something stable, I would highly suggest either AOKP or AoCP (4.1.2).

What would you recommend for a stable build? I use my Cap as my business line. So it has to be reliable. Camera, GPS, texting, etc..., all have to function. But I also like to have the little extras. As you know I'm on the kk4 kernel, and I'm OK with flashing, not okay with having to run anything that needs me to use Linux or do any command lines that kinda thing. I still new to everything.

Sorry, but I forgot to mention that it running pretty normal now. I got rid of the eyecandy theme. It is the culprit from what I can tell. Without it the phone is better. Still a little laggy though.

There are also tweaks in recovery that u can choose from and even the ability to change the partitions to Ext4. Check the kk4 corn kernel's op for info on these things.
I use my cappy for work and pretty much have stock kk4, with Root, debloated, Ext4 on all partitions and the tweaks i have are sio Scheduler and smartassv2 Governor. Runs great !

I have it running on deadline and smartass v2 and it runs pretty damn well, I dont know too much about partinoning so I have stayed clear just in case I screw something up.
What about the kernel tweaks (ROM toolbox pro) the voltage controlsyscti tweaks? What is that for, signalling the different MHz -0mV? I'm an electrician and have been for 20 years but electronics is a new hobby and the phones my new medium. I would love to know more, so if you could tell me what I should read or??? That would help me learn more I would be stoked.
Thanks KK

OC = Overclock
UV = Undervolt
SoD = Sleep of Death
I don't suggest changing voltage on the cappy (UV). The processor isn't strong/fast enough, therefor it takes more time to process what you ask of it = more screen time = more battery drain. While screen off though, your battery will be better (can also cause black screen and SoD at unstable state). Screen on is the main battery drain for androids. So basically, reducing your voltage (UV) will lower your battery consumption, of course at a price = slower processing and despite you intention to reduce battery drain, it might increase it. The Captivate has proved to be quite unstable with OC/UV on GB and up.
Up'in your Mhz (OC) will make your phone faster but at the cost of faster battery drain and faster hardware usage. On top of that, both can make your phone unstable. Finding the right combination can take some time if you really wanna get into it. There are guides about it which you can find with a little search, altough, once again, I don't recommend it.
Thanks Bwolf, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain some of that. I have read some some of that stuff in other posts, over the past year or more that I've been on XDA, although it was Greek to me at the time. Now I knowwhat you guys are saying, I just don't know the hows or whys. In time.
I will follow your advice on the voltage and the OC and leave it alone.
There was a time a while back when I first started messing around and I changed something it might have been voltage, and my Cap went nuts. It was sucking down my battery right before my eyes, so fast and getting hot, I pulled the battery and I don't remember how I got it straightened out, but I did. Crazy! So, I know better, curiosity killed the cat (cap) lOL. Thanks Again

Hehe np. As for what happened before, pulling the battery most likely reseted your kernel settings (OC in this case) as it probably wasn't ''set on boot''. Probably saved you a lot of hastle too

We neeed a gummy targa thread

We have been needing a gummy thread for a long time. This will be my first thread start. So. 1/29 has been running very well for me with only occasional black screen, no response. Pull battery issues. Only every now and then. So, today j was happy to see a new build. When I went to install it safe strap said can't open zip error. Failed. Disappointed. Rebooted back into 1/29. Oh well I'm sure they'll fix it. They are great about that.
Also got the red error in safestrap on last build.

Strange. 2/08 is out. but its only 17.3 mb. Not sure if its a mistake or if we flash it then flash 2/07. Guess I ll try that and report back.
Nah, think the last two are junk...not sure there's any changes going on anyway. Probably just bot-builds over the latest aosp base.

Ya saw on twitter that they had issues with oldandroid uploading ROMs. Ours is not the only ROM not complete looks like. I looked at some others and half of them didn't look right. Hope they get it fixed, I really like gummy.
2/10 is 194 mb.
2/10 is good so far. Haven't had time to play with all of it yet but so far its smooth. Tether works, I flashed the cm WiFi fix to be sure.
2/11 so far has the best battery life of any I've flashed lately.

when you say 'any' do you mean to include other kitkat roms
Yes. Only problem is it charges slowly.

which gapps are you running
Haha ALL of them! Honestly I flash pa full and liquid and aio slim gapps as well as the cm WiFi fix. So far ts been working great. And I only wipe cache and system since I've been running art.

do you think lmt pie uses the battery in terms of drain, any differently than say a hard coded slimpie?
and when do you convert to ART before or after restoring apps
No idea. Don't use either. And I went to art first and have stayed there. At first I switched back and forth, but now I just use art. Never had any issues but for some lag now and then. But I think it mostly had to do with all the different kernels.
2/15 is great. Has the ubuntu#2 kernel and good battery.
Been a week since last update. Hopefully they are fixin to wow us with another milestone. M.2. I'm ready. Its still the most stable, right along with cm.
Newer builds 2/25 on android hosting.org.
Last two builds have the old wifi bug on first boot...wifical.sh does not fix it,nor does reboot
