Dual Boot Nightlys 87 + with Stock? - Nook Color General

Does anyone know if there are plans to incorporate dual booting into the new nightlies? I know you can do it already if you rename some files, etc... but I am talking about a more seamless flashing type experience.
I am dual booting 7.0.3 on Partition 1 and Unrooted Stock on Partition 2. I'd love to replace 7.0.3 with the newest nightly builds / kernels. They are far superior than the latest "stable" ROM.

[Q] Noob question about upgrading CM7

First off, much thanks to everyone involved with CM7. The Nook Color is a fantastic Android tablet thanks to your work, I sincerely appreciate it.
I have successfully installed a CM7 nightly build, but I am interested in trying out the recent one which fixes video playback issues. Can I just download the updated ZIP file and install it using Clockwork Recovery on my recovery SD card? Is there another, perhaps better way? Will I lose anything (apps, settings, etc?)
Thanks in advance
Nick
I just did this myself.
What I did:
Open Rom Manager and manually do a backup of your current rom. Its easier to name it something YOU understand that way.
The NC will reboot and do the back then go back to the current rom.
Then download the video test and flash it using Rom Manager- Flash ROM from SD card. I wiped data and cache but did NOT backup current rom, since I had already done so manually. (I am not sure if that is required but I thought it better to test the video clean.)
Once I tested the video (which was perfect) I restored my backup and had my fully configured CM7 with Tablet Tweaks and OC kernel running.

Did you just flash the CM7 tablet tweaks through Rom Manager? You flash the tweaks over an already installed version of Cyan7 correct?
You know, I hadn't been thinking about it until I saw your question but I have been doing extra work- the Tablet Tweaks is the full rom not just an update to a rom....
So the way to get them installed is to find the latest version and flash it through Rom Manager (a "yes" to your question) and then flash the OC kernel through Rom Manager. That one IS an update instead of a full rom so can be flashed over the existing rom.
If I screwed up this post its because I just woke up from a nap.

Let me try to make this stuff clear for any who follow:
*Best to get the regular CM7 nightly installed and working correctly first, I think- less chance of bugs.
*video test and Tablet Tweaks versions are both FULL ROMS and will replace the current rom you are running. Data wipe should not be required for either, but if you have problems try wiping data and do it again.
*the Overclock kernel can be flashed OVER the current rom and will not replace it, just add to it.
If I screwed up this post its because I just woke up from a nap.

(Q)what are the steps to upgrading to 7.0.3

I can't find a definite answer for upgrading from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 stable. I did a tatanium and clockwork back up just in case. Have the latest clockwork recovery. But when you boot into recovery do you first wipe system then cache, installed built, then wipe dalvik then reinstall latest gapps then 4/24 OC kernel? Are those the steps? I just want to male sure that way my apps don't get erased. I'm installing to internal memory.

I would not even update to 7.0.3 to be honest. I'm assuming you are running 7.0.2, so I would download nightly 69, the fixed OC kernel (not the one you are used to using..it needs to be the ext4 one which is available by reading through the notes on the overclock kernel page over in android development...head towards the end of the pages), boot into recovery, flash nightly 69, flash gapps, flash OC kernel, Wipe Cache, Wipe Davlik, Hard reboot...and you're good to go

Well cm7.0.3 runs off of android 2.3.3. The newer nightlies run off of Android 2.3.4 which is going to be what CM7.1 is going to run off of. Both of my nook colors have run cm7.0.3 and one of them had issues (as have a few other people) while the other one ran okay, but the nightlies continued to out perform the cm7.0.3 hands down. Not only that, the newest nightlies getting incredible battery life compared to what cm7.0.3 had. In a test I ran, I got 2 hours and 6 minutes more battery life off of nightly 67 compared to cm7.0.3. It is just a personal preference, but if the option for a newer OS is available, why update to something that is older?
Well, because stable is...stable. I certainly haven't had any issues with 7.0.3 under very heavy and varied use, whereas the nightlies have their share of issues (not to mention an obvious absence of 'real' overclocking), some of which appear to not be common knowledge despite a great many attempts to make them so. =)
Certainly, if I were recommending to a daily user, I'd advocate 7.0.3 over even the latest nightlies, if for no other reason that (once properly installed) it 'just works'.
It's not even clear whether the 1.2 u-boot can be used with the newest kernel betas when booting directly from a SD card, which in and of itself is a major blocker for me (using verygreen's SD image).
I suppose it comes down to personal preference, but again, I'm unaware of any significant outstanding issues with 7.0.3. If someone's having issues, they should by all means ask for help if they don't want to dip their toe in the unstable pool.

The 1.2 u-boot has to do with the 2.6.32 beta, not the nightlies. I am and have been overclocked on all the nightlies since 59 when they first made the switch to 2.3.4...I have had no issues with any of the nightlies at all, but if you're an average user, then go with 7.0.3...like I said before I just don't see the point in flashing something that is already old compared to what is available and very stable. And why are you still using an SD card? Flash to stockkkk =) and for now, I think I will continue to swim in the stable pool.

I dont need the latest nightly i just want something stable since i use my nook everyday. Battery drain isnt an issue for me since i go the whole day with out having to charge it. So if i decide to use nightly (69) you have to use "ext4-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411". Is that the same kernel i have to use if i decide to use 7.0.3? or should i just use "CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411"

If you use nightly 69 then yes you need to use the kernel you mentioned above. If you use cm7.0.3 then just use the regular overclock kernel. And nightly 69 is very stable. I have been running all of the 2.3.4 nightlies and they run smooth as butter for me.
im going to use nightly 69 heres the kernel for anyone else interested in upgrading

good choice and good luck
There is a misconception in this thread......Your kernel selection has to do with your version of Clockwork Recovery. The latest version of Clockwork Recovery will only boot with a kernel that has had an ext.4 script change. Older versions of Clockwork use the "original" kernels found in dalingrin's kernel page. To eliminate anymore problems or confusion. If you have not updated CWM please do so, then update your kernel to the one with the script change attached to this post. Both SD & EMMC versions are attached.....All will be right with your Nook
I upgraded from 7.0.2 to the nightly 69. Everything went fine, but I no longer have USB connectivity. Any advice on how I might get it working?
I use swiftp to transfer files over Wifi from computer use firezilla or any other ftp program to make a connection. I think it's a bug according to what I read on another post...
That works just fine. Thanks.
I have 7.0.3 running from SD card.
I tried putting the 0424 OC on and found it seemed to be causing a problem with at least one program, LCD Density after I increase to 1200. When I ran the app to increase my icon size it would freeze up the NC and only way out was a forced reboot.
Anyone else find problems like this and is this unusual.

[Q] problem updating cm7 nightlys

I recovered back to froyo from cm7 7.0.3 thinking I would give the gingerbread update a try. After seeing what bugs they had on gingerbread I went back fresh to cm7. I have cm7 7.0.3 on it no problem but when I try to put the newest nightly on it it does'nt do anything. It will download the nightly but when I tap it to install it say it will boot into recovery but dose'nt. I've tried it with 86,87 nightlys and it has done the same thing. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
I think any nightly at 82 or beyond requires a new boot loader, or some such, as the Linux kernel has been updated. You might also run into this battery issue with the new kernel. I could be wrong though; haven't had the time to look into it too much.

Thank you !! :good:
Script by spyrosk for backing up data of internal SD card so you don't loose anything when using NVFlash version: LINK -- currently for use on Windows only​
Personal note November 20:Let's face it:
After all stock ICS currently just is no good for many people's everyday use. While it does perform very well for many other people.
Cocluding from my own ICS usage experience with the latest v28E & v28G builds:
stock ICS indeed is very smooth while scrolling, even without a custom kernel
but unfortunately with rising workload it starts hanging and lagging annoyingly much (on my own phone)
for many people it is just not stable enough (yet)
More specifically today I've made new versions / rebuilds of my stock Gingerbread kernel and my Stock GB GoodBye ROM v2.0 (The rebuilt and updated ROM has just been released (NOV 20 2012).) and came to following conclusions (for my own phone):
GoodBye ROM is smoother than my current ICS builds and stays smooth
GoodBye ROM is more stable than my current ICS builds
GoodBye ROM is more energy efficient than my current ICS builds
GoodBye ROM is faster than my current ICS builds
GoodBye ROM offers a highly tweakable custom kernel and TrymHansen's outstanding GuesteOC app
So many people have written that this ICS ROM is a great ROM, well I can promise you guys, if you already like this quite non-perfect ICS, you will for sure love my Gingerbread Goodbye ROM v2.0R !
In case you guys haven't tried it yet, I'd be happy if you do so. I've put quite much effort in the latest versions.
So if ICS does not work good for you on your phone and you want a ROM smoother, faster, more stable and more energy saving than my currently offered ICS builds, then you might want to try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34379632&postcount=267 (NVFlash versions available)​
What does all this mean?
I'm temporarily going back to my Gingerbread ROM for my personal use
I'll watch further ICS development from there, everyone is free to join me
I will continue updating this ROM to the latest ICS bases as usual, just don't use them myself until performance and stability improves

Essential update November 16:
New NVFlash versions (v28E & v28G) are available.
New features:
fixed bootloader, so Smartflash will work again for everyone
CMW Recovery 6, no more too big font in CWM, also no more /cache errors [edit: if you still get them: just format /cache partition in CWM]
fixing sizes of recovery partition and boot partition
NO full wipe required!! New NVFlash version can backup your /data partition and restore later (Internal SD will still be wiped!)
Noob-secure flashing process. Telling the user exactly what to do and asks for confirmation before doing anything.
Stock LG ICS content for internal SD card can be flashed as well (user is asked) - gives some extra music, apps, videos
No more deodexed version. I think odexed works best.
Google Now (Online-version) preinstalled, still about 25 MB free space in /system partition
additional widgets from SU660 preinstalled
the new installation scripts are available for both Windows and Linux (tested by me extensively)
Windows APX driver included (for Linux not needed)
hopefully no more battery drainage problems on v28G version
some minor things. A custom kernel by me will come as soon as we get the final kernel sources!
New CWM ZIPs are available as well! Please be aware that they do not upgrade bootloader (=fix of Smartflash Bug), CWM (from 5 to 6) or fix partition sizes for boot and recovery partition (were too small, could cause problems lateron). Only NVFlash version does that. So you might prefer to, as a one-time-upgrade, use NVFlash version. You can, with the new NVFlash versions, backup and restore your /data partition, so your settings and apps won't be lost. Only Internal SD will still be wiped.
The new ICS builds are available in download folder, in subfolder "Second Generation ROMs (improved, recommended)".

About the CWM for new bootloader:
made by me thanks to help and files by wkpark - this guy is really knowledgeable!
Enjoy: It is still possible to enter CWM DIRECTLY through pressing "VOL -" AND POWER !!!!
​
This ROM is for ...
those who want to easily change to the new Stock ICS bootloader, partitioning layout and kernel
those who want everything to be CLEAN STOCK and still want to have all features like root, CWM and so on
the DEVs who need a solid base for making their custom ROMs out of - feel free to take this ROM as base for your ICS custom ROMs!! - you can make them as CWM versions, because everyone who is using this ROM can flash your custom ROM easily with CWM then.
those who want to use it as a stable and smooth daily driver
those who have bricked their device and need to unbrick it (NVFlash version)
those who want to switch from Gingerbread or CM10 with older bootloader and different partitioning directly to ICS v28G (NVFlash version)
those who want to get the currently best possible base for later installation of custom kernels and custom ROMs (CWM flashable) released for the new bootloader and partitioning design
those who want a very simple installation and a rock-solid system
those who want the Stock ICS, but just a bit better - with essential tweaks like ad blocking, init.d, ramdisk optimizations, full adb support, facelock, some LG crapware removed (only two apps, keeping it as stock as possible), CWM added, rooted,...
This ROM combines providing as much features as possible while still staying as much stock as possible! It comes with original new LG ICS bootloader (unlocked), with original v28G kernel (no changes needed), original new LG ICS partitioning layout and of course ALL original v28G apps except 2 useless ones​

Installation NVFlash version (under Windows): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device. Probably you have to install APX drivers at this point if you are asked. They are included in the latest NVFlash builds. Tutorial on driver installation: http://www.modaco.com/topic/335416-nvflash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/
assuming that you already installed APX drivers: run the "flash_windows.bat" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!
Installation NVFlash version (under Linux): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device (eventually you don't hear a sound but it still should work).
run the "flash_linux.sh" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM (make sure it is executeable, else chmod accordingly, also the NVFlash binary)
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!
CWM version (no full wipe required): - for those who are already on new bootloader, partition layout and CWM -> they can re-flash this ROM without full wipe. Do NOT use it when you are on old bootloader currently (GB, CM7, CM10)!
Installation CWM version: = NO required Full wipe
make sure you are already on latest bootloader, partition layout and CWM
copy the zip on your SD, install via CWM - if you want a full-wipe, do one before. Cache and Dalvik Cache gets automatically wiped.
That's already it Boot and enjoy!
Bugs:
Android Terminal emulator needs an update from Play Store, else it will crash when you open it. Updating fixes it.
To prevent WIFI from not working:
I'm not sure in how far BB is related to WIFI, but I'd recommend upgrading to latest BB if you don't have it already :good:
Some user who reported WIFI stopped working was on a very old BB.
ALSO: on setup wizard after ROM installation it's recommended NOT to import / restore old phone settings from your google account. The imported WIFI settings will in some cases break your WIFI. Try to clear all WIFI data in case you did and WIFI is broken.

About going back to different ROMs and backups NOT made under the new bootloader:
it is not possible to restore CWM backups with this ROM that have been made using a different partitioning layout and bootloader. So you can only go back to GB or CM7 / 10 with per example NVFlash and then restore your saved backup with CWM there. But do not restore it while still being on ICS layout.
But restoring is possible:
- you are on CM7/10, make CWM backup, save backup to pc
- you flash this ROM with NVFlash, decide to go back to CM10 with NVFlash again and there you can flash your CWM backup you saved on your PC before.
New bootloader and layout are still very *new*, that's why there currently don't exist any ROMs you could flash with the CWM of this ROM. You can flash app packages and stuff but nor ROMs or ICS kernels not made for the new bootloader.

Two Quick questions. If I want to roll back to CM7 from this rom, can I a) simply reflash a CMW back of CM7 or b) NVflash a GB stock rom then CMW restore from CM7.
Is this rom any lighter on battery or any smoother in general than a CM7 rom?
Going to try it, just would like to know what I'm getting into before I do.
Is it possible to use CWM 6? Because in tonyp´s version you need 5.2,x
Thank you for providing this rom!
One (maybe stupid) question:

This ROM still is missing a proper custom kernel - so for now there is room for smoothness improvement in my opinion. But everything is prepared for receival of custom kernel. Just a few days.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274 -> with that you can go back directly to CM10 (and then flash CM7 if you want).
However, it is not possible to restore CWM backups with this ROM that have been made using a different partitioning layout. So you can only go back to GB or CM7 / 10 with per example NVFlash and then restore your saved backup with CWM there. But do not restore it while still being on ICS layout.
It's awesome to see another ICS stock ROM avaiable here, you are COOL Stefan.
Just a quick question while downloading:
are you aware the small problems from harsh and tonyp's work?
- BSOD, many ppl including me have experienced today.
- call voice problem after a while a using (harsh meant that he is working on it)
- slow charging (some ppl claims with USB it is very slow)
if yes, have you done anything with them?

I Need a Small Bit of Assistance Installing CM11 moto_msm8960 (Official)

I am at a standstill installing CM11 off of the moto_msm8960 unified CM11 builds. Here's what I have accomplished so far:
Root and unlock bootloader with motochopper and motopocalypse
Install CWM Touch v.6.0.4.4 per the CM tutorial here.
Download a nightly CM11 build and remove Status 7 error per the tutorial here.
Backup stock AOSP ROM with CWM to external SD
My issue now is that I cannot install the ROM through CWM because my bootloader is not 4.4. Could someone guide me in updating the kernel to a KK based one so that I can install?
Edit:I realized while reading another thread that my problem it that the CM website has misreported the rom to use and that I have to use the moto_msm8960 jbbl branch, as the bootloader can only be upgraded if Moto releases a (the?) KK upgrade officially.

That's right, you can flash the jbbl branch, it works good. Use that until we recieve the KitKat upgrade.

I intend to flash nightlies. Quick question though, do I have to do a nandroid backup in CWMR, factory reset/wipe, and then flash the new nightly, or can the new nightly flash like an update.zip? I am currently doing the process I mentioned above and don't want to risk bricking, if there is any risk.

It is optional to do a nandroid backup, I would usually do this when I am still running stock ROM but it is up to you. You can either clean flash or dirty flash, I don't believe it'll brick your device. I usually clean flash, it is just me. Good luck!

Just a little reminder: You can OTA nightly to nightly and snapshot to snapshot without almost any risk of bricking your device, but when you change from nighty to snapshot or viceversa, you forcefully need to wipe everything. Or you'll get a nasty bootloop.
