How do I get a status bar/better softkey? - Nook Color General

So I just installed cm_encore_full-173.zip which was brutal... Took me like 5 hours to figure out how to get rid of errors. But now its working. So thats good.
How do I get a status bar at the top that has running Apps, battery icon, etc? I have one on my phone but the ROM does not have one. i really want that back.
Also I am not loving softkey... Is there anything better?

Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Tablet Tweaks>bottom status bar
as far as the soft buttons you can try a theme, TransformerBread and HoneyBread have gotten the Tablet Tweaked treatment and if you look in the Android Themes section you'll be able to find more

I'm on the latest nightly and I have a status bar with softkeys...
Make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik when flashing!

Great. As soon as I hit the "CyanogenMod settings" button I gt that error again and it closes out. This whole thing is screwed up. And no one will tell me how to wipe this and try a different ROM...
I have tried everything and I cant get this one off.

Open the rom manager in your app drawer and make sure you have the latest clockwork recovery installed, if you don't, flash it. Then go to download ROM and download the latest Nightly and check gapps in the pop up window, once its downloading another popup window will come up, check the wipe data and wipe cache and the wipe dalvik cache and hit ok. make sure you don't have a bootable SD card inserted into your Nook during this process.
That should fix all your issues.

I did all that but then it just says "your download has started you can view the progress in the notification area" Where is that? How long does it take
its been like 15 mins. How do I know when its done and how do I kick off the install?

It should be done downloading... Pull up the notification bar and hit on the clockwork recovery icon in there. If you don't have the statusbar, press and hold the power button>reboot>reboot recovery
while in recovery go to mounts and storage, format the system, data and cache, hit the power button to go back to the main menu and choose install zip from sd card>choose zip from sdcard>clockworkmod>download>download.cyanogenmod.com>get> then choose your nightly to flash it then choose install zip from sd card>choose zip from sdcard>clockworkmod>download>goo-inside.me>gapps> and flash gapps
once you've done that restart and everything should be good...

Your initial rom may have become corrupted while downloading. The softkeys should be there by default.

I had the same issues. The only way I could get the errors to go away and the status bar to appear was to flash clockwork recovery from ROM Manager and then download and flash the rom from there.

Ok I'm really close. Its WAY better, I actually the the logo run at the begining. Its fast, i can install thing, no errors.
But Facebook did not install, it said "File Not Found" and when I search for Facebook in the Market there is no Install button. But I was able to install Kindel just fine. So there is one last weird thing with facebook.

There is an issue with the market right now where you cant install some apps. There is a work around though, you'll need to edit your build.prop and change your dpi from 161 to 160 and make these changes
ro.product.model=SCH-I500
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=SCH-I500
ro.product.device=SCH-I500
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
reboot, goto setting>manage applications>all>market>clear data
and you'll be good to go for awhile, every once and a while you'll have to clear the data for the market.
there is a thread on it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218974

How do I edit build.prop?

This should go in the general forum, not development.

How to install google addon to a ROM?

Hello, I installed CyanogenMod 5.0 lastnight and the market and a few other applications are not there, im guessing that is the google addon can anyone tell me in detail how to install that? Thanks
You need to flash to ER27 Google add on pack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496
Current link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmmzywtlnjd/gapps-passion-ERE27-2-signed.zip
thanks...How do i flash it?
I would like to know also. I've gone into recovery and added the file to the SD card than tried to run it, only to tell it me it's not a zip. So I renamed it and also tried compressing it as zip(just to make sure) and I get an error.
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Download the add on from that page listed, place it on the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery, flash it in recovery (the same way you flashed the ROM, but do not wipe), then reboot your phone.
That is exactly what I did. I sent a pm w/ more details. I tried covering all grounds just to make sure if one failed the other one would'nt.
Edit: Should USB debugging be on/off? Don't know if that makes a difference
Edit: Figured it out. Everytime i would downlad the file on my mac it would not be a .zip file so renaming it and compressing it did nothing. I downloaded it on my pc and voila, it works fine..weird...

This is because you enable auto open files in Safari. The actual zip file is in your Trash lol.
To disable it (and u should), open Preferences > General > Uncheck Open "safe" file after downloading

How to install the Google Addon?
You have to change the name of the file (ex: "gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip") to "update.zip". Move it to your SDcard and then install from recovery.

You don't need to be in "Debuggin mode", neither to rename to "update.zip".. Just use ROM manager provided by cyanogenmod and go wiki :

Hello Dacid1171,
I installed Cyanogenmod 7.0.0, with no google apps of course.
I used gapps-gb-20110307-signed pack, went to recovery and chose "Install from SD card", just like I would if I was flashing new ROM.
After that the phone wouldn't book. Logo of cyanogenmod would appear with the circular arrow moving around it, after 3 round it stops and restarts all over.
It was kept that way for a very long time hoping that the phone will come to life. It wouldn't.
What did I do wrong?

Try flashing it again but this time clear cache and dalvik cache.
Flash cm7 rom again follow by the gapps than reboot.

Root Done. Cyanogenmod?

I've rooted so much and learned so much in the past month that I'd like to take that extra step. Opinions?
I'd like to try Cyanogenmod, but I've been failing miserably trying to put it on my device.
I've tried flashing it through this way: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide but I couldn't get ClockworkMod to reboot. Once I did get it to reboot I had a hard time loading or flashing Cyanogenmod because it kept saying that it failed to load and installation was aborted. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm following those instructions in the link to a T. I put the gapps file and the update cm 7.0.1 in the folder called the external_sd even though I do not have an external SD card, but I was guessing that's where the root of the internal memory is. Am I missing something? Is it really this hard? And is Cyanogenmod really worth it?
put the update/zip file in internal SD,not inside any folder.remove external SD card.now try flashing.

Couple things. When I connect my phone to the computer there is no folder that says internal SD unless the stuff that shows up with all the folders is the internal SD. I do not have a removable SD card.
Do I have to flash or wipe anything before I put the update/zip file on my phone?
Ok, successfully did it! I installed the cyanogenmod so I'll take it for a spin. However, there is one thing that I can't figure out. I'm trying to download all the Google apps from the market, but anything that I try downloading from the market it just stays in the downloading progress bar and nothing happens.
I installed the separate apk file gapps-gb-20110828-signed the same way I installed Cyanogenmod, but nothing. Can anyone help please? Also, I used the Navigation app a lot, but I can't even seem to find that one on the market...
Now it's working. Ok. Few questions for you guys. Any way to turn off an "LED notification" whenever I get a text message the bottom soft keys light up and stay lit up until I check the message.
Still don't know how to get the turn by turn Navigation application.
EDIT: How do you get Swype as well on Cyanogenmod?

I find that the stock keyboard is not the best. I've read that its predictive text and spell corrections is supposed to be good, but it looks like it's not picking up anything at all and it's not correcting any spelling. What gives?

Hell man, i was 50% done porting MIUI v3 to our tattoo and you do it . Good job. MediaFire mirror please...
I found a couple of annoying things in this rom,
1. The names of folders and apps in the launcher are ither too blured or too small
2. In camera settings, picture size there is lets say 2048 x 1536 (Chinese Stuff), I think it is saying 3M
3. In the notification bar, when you pull it down it says the date which is on the left enge end it`s sticking to it, maby to push it a bit right or even center the damn thing
4. When you take the Clock 2x4 and put it on your home screen it just says loading widget and it stays like that forever
5. Missing or I don`t look in the right way, Screen calibration app
6. The music widget has a big line across it, and a thin one going from the top to bottom.
Other then that, great ROM, blazing fast. Camera quality awsome.

7. Chinese text when adding a new contact via Dialer

Well, first when I flashed this rom and gapps, it booted to the setup wizard and told me to click on the android. It wasn't responding and it told me to wait or force close it. I clicked on force close and then continued to set up my mail account but my phone crashed and rebooted. After that, my phone skipped the set up wizard and booted to lock screen but becouse of a little bit higher speed, it crashed and rebooted. And after that, it could work for 2-3 mins. and rebooted again.
If I want to go to settings, it crashes(becouse of cpu speed).
I reflashed the rom and the gapps again(did full wipe) but after that I couldn't pass the android.
It seems it's a nice rom so I would like you to fix it and downclock the cpu @614 so people like me can enter the rom. I'm pretty sure that it will work good @614, 633.

The click the android thingy happened to me too, i was polite at first, waited. When i realised that he is messing with me, I said a few F words and clicked all over the place and i got around it somehow
EDIT. Had to reflash due to F****** Torch app, find out a way to bypass it, when it says touch android, hold the back button, it will ask to enable long press back to kill app, enable it. Then long press back to kill it, it should reopen, but when you click the android it should crash so FC it and viola you bypassed the F****** thing
I will release an update today removing the torch app, add HTC calibration, some build.prop tweaks...won't be able to do the resizing in this one...will do in next update.
Also can anyone confirm that long pressing the home button doesn't bring up the recent apps list?

cmod7 kindle app - no menu bar when reading

Don't know it this is a setting somewhere or what, but I have a question on using the Kindle app on the Nook Color running cmod 7 (7.20 stable). The app runs okay, but I seem to be missing a navigation bar once I start reading a book. It only shows the title and where I am - no options to go back to the Kindle menu (like if I want to read a different book). The only way I can get back to the Kindle menu is to reboot.
I've searched the forum and the closest thread to this problem talks about changing the settings - I don't seem to have any settings to adjust. Even if I go to settings/applications/manage applications/downloaded/kindle there still aren't any changable options.
Sorry for so many questions - I'm a noob. I've searched the net on this and searched this forum with no luck.
any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

What version of the Kindle app are you using? Try updating to the latest version.
Also try playing with the settings in cm. Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, tablet tweaks, and play with checking and unchecking disable full screen.

uh.....I'm not sure
Thanks for the reply! I downloaded the Kindle app via Amazon, so hopefully it is whatever is their latest. I sure didn't know about the settings, so I'll give the go and see what happens! I do get the drop down from the top stating the title, and the pull-up from the bottom, but the bottom only has how much I've read so far.
Thanks again!
Dave
EDIT: Well, I don't have the tablet options. Everything in there is for a phone! Seems kind of weird on a device that doesn't have a phone.
lost cm settings
I tried the cyanogenmod settings, and while everything there was for a phone, I turned off things like vibrate, etc. - pretty much everything dealing with a phone. Now when I try to go back to cyanogenmod settings, the app aborts.
I also look in the dev settings and see a config file in there that set s default resolutions, etc., and includes an option that looks like it hides the menu bar, so I used terminal (I am familiar with Linux) and checked for such a file for the system but wasn't able to locate one. I'm wondering if there's a setting like that somewhere, as I don't get any back arrows, menu, etc., just on the pages, and was wondering if that was also stopping me from getting the full menu bar in the Kindle app?
So you do NOT see the word Kindle in orange Aa, magnifying glass and three vertical dots and a bookmark icon as well as the blue dot and position in book at the bottom of screen when you touch anywhere that is NOT the far left and far right of the screen?
And you do NOT see the back, home, recent apps and "menu" button in the bar at the bottom of the screen outside of the kindle window?
Dev settings? no such beast in CM7 or CM9
There is a Developer options which has nothing to do with any sort of resolutions..
I suggest you reinstall CM7.2 release from the official site, stay out of ADB, and stay away from all the various "work in progress" roms until you can actually navigate the default device...
I think you probably got a bit happy and broke something .. there is a setting in CM7 settings to disable fullscreen apps from hiding the "menubar" at the far bottom of the screen and that should be under tablet tweaks in the system settings app.
Yep, none of those
Yep - none of those. This was just after getting 7.0 stable installed and loading in the gapps, since the gapps file was dated just slightly after that release. Immediately went and got Kindle and Nook reader apps. Tried them to be sure they looked like they were working and then applied the zip of 7.2 stable. I didn't try the cyanogenmod settings until later when it was posted in this thread. Again, there are no options in there for a tablet - only a phone. I don't mind going back and doing everything over, just as long as I don't end up in that deadly embrace of things aborting and google market not working. I'll let you know what happens.
If I flush out the Kindle cache I can get back to seeing my titles, but that really defeats the purpose of reading on the device.
Something is not right
Okay, I downloaded everything again and made the microSD. I booted the microSD, did the format data/system reset, went to mounts and did the format /system, while there I tried the format /data - it fails. I had noticed before that when the data/system reset is run and completes, I can no longer do anything - I have to manually power off, wait a while, and power back on. Did all that, went to advance and cleared the kelvich or whatever it's call cash. Installed the cmod7.20 stable. Took out the microSD and rebooted. All of my old apps, etc., are still there. I also was looking at settings and see that the settings I changed were under "phone", not using the cyanomod settings app - it still just aborts.
So, what have I got to do to completely clean all this stuff off and then try installing again? As you can imagine, the number of attempts, partial successes, successes (at least I thought it was only the Kindle app that wasn't showing the menu), etc., we're talking all kinds of hours starting Monday night - probably at least 10 hours each day. Now I'm no further than when I started. For now I'm going to load the old 1.4.1 image again for the umpteenth time and hope someone can tell me how to clear this all up, or else recommend a different android that will run on the Nook Color without problems.
I still think if I can clear EVERYTHING (well, not /boot, obviously) so I'm starting with a CLEAN slate again it may help. I just don't have a clue how to do that using cwm recovery.
Still no good
I redownloaded everything again, created the microsd and tried to install 1.4.1 just to get back to a clean starting point. Can't get beyond where it asks for B&N userid/password as the keyboard shows for about 1/2 a second, no matter what I do. So, I tried the format data/system reset again and just loaded in the cmod 7.20 stable. Again, after booting, everything is still there - the google apps and all. How do I get rid of all this stuff so I can try an install from a clean slate? Right now I've been going thru all the data folders I can find and manually removing everything there. I would like to delete a lot of apps, but I never seem to be able to "uninstall".
So, before I start over again, can someone tell me how to clear EVERYTHING (except /boot, /emmc [unless I need to],/sd*) so I have a clean system first?
Thanks!

Boot to CWM and do a factory reset. If you don't have CWM on emmc, make a bootable CWM SD. You can get one on my tips thread linked in my signature. A factory reset clears /data, /cache and clears any apps you may have installed to SD. It does not touch boot, system or emmc media.
no good

That's what I've been doing - format data/factory reset option from cwm. Before rebuilding the entire microSD on my Windows PC I have also done a complete format of the media. I then boot CWM from the microSD and install the cmod7 7.20 stable zip - I always assumed this was going straight to the device since when I remove the microSD and boot cmod7 is there. However, none of the pre-existing apps are gone - everything is still there.
I've tried using CWM, advanced options, and format /data - it always fails. So I'm wondering if perhaps the format of /data the is part of the factory reset also fails but the script doesn't error out. Right now I'm going through an extremely time consuming task of manually removing the files and folders in /data via the terminal and su so I get the permissions. If there is another quicker way to clear /data I'd sure appreciate knowing. I've tried some of the treed removes from my Linux experience but they don't seem to work.
Thanks!
Dave
EDIT: forgot to mention - I'm trying your partition restores from the link in your signature - only the "safe" ones - I don't to do that partition 2 stuff and really mess up. Perhaps this will clean everything off.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

I followed the link and did the repartitioning and formating with the first 2 scripts (left partition 2 alone!). Installed 7.20 stable - I now have the bar at the bottom of my screens. I'm waiting to format a 16gb microSD then I'm going to try the Kindle app out again, but I'd say this looks REALLY promising! Your scripts did what I wanted to do - they cleared everything out!
Thank you SO much!!!!!
Dave
Thank to everyone!
I just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to all the people who made cwm and cmod 7 so this whole thing would even be possible. Thanks to everyone here who helped me! Now "all" I have to do is just try to learn this! Maybe some place down the road I might try some programming, but I don't know how different it will be from my C using GTK++ on Linux. But first, to learn!
Thank you everyone SO much!

I know you got it all working and I am glad, but just for future reference, the problem you were having probably stemmed from using an old version of CWM. You have to use version 3.2.0.1 or newer or the format of data will fail on the newer nooks. The one in my tips thread is the newest version.
Thanks!

I did look at the the tar file I downloaded when I was trying to install from a 4gb microSD - it does say only 3.0.2.8, so I'm sure the 16gb I ended up installing from was probably the same, so I'll go grab what you recommended!
Since I don't want to have the problem again, I'm DEFINITELY going to follow your advise!
I had another suspicion for what may have happened, and why I had so much problem from the get-go with cmod 7 - I tried someone else's "put android on your nook" thing, which I know tried to root the nook and then dump some stuff in, and that didn't end up working.
I'm just glad your posts have gotten me going correctly!! BTW - the Kindle app works fine now, too!
Again, thank you SO much!!
Dave
Want to make sure I get this all right
You've been such a great help - I hope you don't mind a couple of more questions:
- The new CWM you recommend is the 5.x.x.x that's on the link, correct?
- Are there any newer releases of Android for the Nook Color? Right now I don't know anything about Android (complete noob [LOVE the movie on the registration page!] ). I know someone who is quite versed in all of this he mentioned that I'm running some name (honeycomb or something like that) and that there are newer ones out there (maybe that was honeycomb). At any rate, are there some updates I could run to make this any "better"? I know the version I'm running also seems to think it's a phone - is there one where it actually thinks it's a tablet?
Again, thank you SO much!

Yes that CWM is attached to my tips thread linked in my signature.
You can try CM9 which is tablet based, but it is still in alpha and not as stable as CM7. Don't use honeycomb, it is old and very buggy.
Thanks!
Thanks again for the info! I'll get that copy of cwm right away. Since CM9 is still early, I'll wait on any updates. I really don't know anything yet, but I am having fun with the Nook Color being all Android now. It's nice having the Kindle app and the Nook app - this way have all my books on 1 device, and that works great!
Thanks again!

It's because it cant fit in the system partition. Quentin himself made a little guide, how to make a bootable zip from the new nightlies. HERE it is. I deleted the Live Wallpapers and some other stuff i would disable anyway.

Here i take this message too (status 7), but in zip package don't have as live wallpapper apk, have some more apk's i have to exclude or someting more?
Sory for my poor english!
Yes, the newest nightly doesnt have live wallpapers by default. You have to delete some other stuffs.
Ringtones, some fonts are safe to delete. (and those asian fonts eats up at least 8Mb...)
I can't make it work too. I tried to delete some stuff, but I don't know what is safe to delete or not.
I don't need Live Wallpapers and so on, but the apk isn't in the zip file anymore.

Try booting ROM form that post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32403158#post32403158
Its already prepared for booting. Before that you better wipe all user data and cache - it should work after that
The installation worked, but my Milestone stuck while the boot logo is shown.
Edit: Works after a restart, but now it tells me every minute that text-to-speech has crashed. >.<
CM10 boot issue with latest nightly
Greetings all, I am new to this forum so bear with me :laugh:
I have just tried out the latest rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209
(I am currently running CM9)
It boots to a blank screen with just the bar at the top, which seems to work, but no home screen to be seen :crying:
I understand there won't be a wallpaper, but I should see icons, right?
I have cleaned all the caches and reset to factory before installing, but nothing ..
I do not have the /data partition though, is that necessary?
Thanks,
B.
You should have wallpaper, only the live wallpapers were deleted by default.
I guess, the problem is your /data partition. It's necessary to wipe it if you upgrade your rom. Wiping it should solve your problem.
Well, after some restarts it's working. But Angry Birds isn't running and World of Goo is lagging. Isn't the great project butter working?

Hmm, I don't have a /data partition yet ... I guess that is the problem.
Question: If I create a new SD card with a FAT32 partition at the start and an EXT3 at the end, can I just copy my phone SD card contents
including hidden files to the FAT32 partition, put it in the phone and all will be good?
I am guessing that the OS will find the partition and create a mount point for it and that I don't have to do that, right?
Thanks,
B.

Project Butter improves the reactiveness of the UI and increases the framerate.
But the reason for games not working is a lack of RAM (in 90% of the cases).
To circumvent this you need to use a kernel that supports zRAM and/or swap.

So I created the card with the new partition and it works fine with my CM9 backup from nandroid.
When I try to install CM10 I deleted all the caches, factory reset etc and installed CM10.
When it eventually booted to the setup wizard, I enter all the information and it says it is complete, but then on exit the wizard dies and I am left with the status bar and a black screen ..
I tried re-booting, but it won't boot until I go and delete the caches etc again ..
What's wrong?:crying:
Did you wipe everything from recovery? Because doing a Factory Reset might not be enough.

What does "Did you wipe everything from recovery" mean? If you mean did I execute all of the three menu options in recovery, then yes I did that.
However, I do have it going now ... but only after many resets .. and I got stuck on the setup app crashing ..
I am using it and have found it a bit flakey .. slows down at times and the keyboard goes away sometimes, I have to use the hard keyboard.
EDIT: Found the reason for that was voice typing was on for some reason.
I also noticed that the font is very light (alsmost un-readable) in contacts, I have to hold the phone at an angle to be able to read the names.
Here is the cure for the font problem:
Open "HWA Settings" and disable "Contacts" and "Messaging".

Cool thanks, that did it ..:good:
So what is "HWA Settings" anyway?
If an app don't need hardware acceleration, than it will ask the system to not to do it, but sometimes it's just not working properly and with HWA Settings we can disable the hw acc on that app.
