This drives me nuts as my conspiracy theorist mind wants to believe B&N doesn't fix it so we keep nook stock. The issue is that as I fire up the nook app on my emmc or sd card cm7 nook color the links (shop search etc) in the upper edge are not responsive as they should. You have to press them a few times. Its not a hardware problem with edges not being responsive since the same area works fine in different apps and when running stock rom. Any idea?

I have the same issue. I have it there and when I open my magazines, every issue appears in the same stack so I can only download the top one. It kinda sucks but I guess that's what we get for going around our warranty.

Try this:

Yeah, nook screen re-calibrate worked pretty well for me - I still have problems using the search button in the nook app, but the search button in the market works well now.
I have this same button unresponsiveness in landscape but not in portrait orientation.

Clean screen, lock/unlock, run nook screen recalibrate, get a screen protector. All things that will help.

I've the same issue, didn't know about the nook screen recalibration, I'll give it a try and post my results...
It doesn't work on my Nook. It's still unresponsive on the right corner. If it works for you, that's great !
My nook exhibits the same issues. NSR did not help it.
As I understand it, it's an issue with the app itself, and you can't really do anything about it. Sorry.

A new version of the app came out on 11/3. Has anyone tried it yet?

Updated just now, and I actually think the upper edge is a bit more responsive, I was able to hit settings, search and shop on the first try this time - it usually took me 3-4 previously. But it could just be a me thing, I'd like to see what others think.
I've run NSR, and have no screen protector.
It's definitely a software issue, but I see it mainly with the Market and Yahoo Mail apps. The problem was very bad with 1.1 and 1.2 rooted (took 10-15 tries to activate a button in the upper right corner); the problem went away when I installed Dalingren's OC kernel on 1.2 rooted, and now it's back with CM 7.1 (not as bad as originally; typically 2-3 tries to activate that upper right button).

Just downloaded and it runs really well, just upside down though. I have to high the tablet upside down to run it which is an issue because my palms keep hitting the search, home, menu, back keys.

I just tried it on Vegan Gingerbread, it also has the upside down issue. The game itself runs excellent though, awesome game.
same as above posts, upside down, have to avoid the buttons. Also, since you have to hold it funny, I found no comfortable way to keep a finger on the movement pad. I tried my thumb, kept hitting buttons, tried index finger on left hand, but it gets tiresome...index finger on right hand, forearm covered a portion of the screen.
would be perfect if oriented correctly, otherwise, gameplay, speed, size are all correct and great.
I couldn't get it to show up on Vegan 5.11 without having to edit my build.prop
ro.product.device=harmony
changed to
ro.product.device=olympus
I also changed:
ro.build.tags=test-keys
to
ro.build.tags=release-keys
After doing the market fix now I see it, haven't bought it yet though, so cant say how it works on Vegan 5 but figured someone else might also have issues seeing it and would want info on how to get it to show up.
Talked with the dev and he says that he would try to fix the upside down issue in the next update.

I have to say, my experience so far with getting my NC up and running with CM7 has been very positive so far. I'm running it from the SD and OC @ 1.1ghz. Just a great experience all around. I'm still considering a Xoom somewhere down the road but no rush now.
I wasn't going to buy it as I had a Kindle but I have to say, this really has so much more potential, I just couldn't say no.
Anyways, just wanted to pass along my positive experience and look forward to learning a bunch more from all the smart people around here.
I'm gonna add a question here as I don't want to make another thread.
One thing I'm slightly frustrated with, and really it's very minor, I have some difficulty with swiping through menus and accidentally selecting whatever happens to be at the location I start my swipe.
For example: When I'm scrolling through a web page, I'll press somewhere close to the bottom and drag up to scroll down the page. For some reason, this typically will launch a link if that happens to be around where my finger touches the screen initially. Or if I'm in 'Settings' and scrolling through the screen to go further down, this usually opens a misc option or checks/unchecks a box, etc. I don't know what else to do but is there a setting or something that will stall the OS from reacting so quickly?
If I click and hold, then drag, it seems to work ok. But this is something that's not really natural to me. I'll say now that I've used an iPhone and iPad and never had this type of quirky/touchy response. Is it just me?
Yea BN missed the boat. They could if given it full aosp android and probbley spent less software development money and charged more money.

I picked up an anti-glare screen protector on Amazon.com, but I can't remember which one it was. I bought it mainly to just protect the screen from scratches, but it really cuts the glare and doesn't show fingerprints as easily as the bare screen.
It doesn't degrade image quality at all, although I bumped up the screen's brightness just a hair to compensate.

IDK, the stock interface is accessible for the computer-illiterate and the hardware configuration is equally accessible for all levels of power-users. I pretty much forgive all shortcomings in the stock OS because B&N made no effort to lock me into using it, aside from withholding the magazine and kids book functionality in their Android Market app.
It took 3 years but its finally here. Grab it now!

Yea, I found it a bit funny bc the description says its not compatible with tablets, yet Amazon website has a green compatible check mark next to the Xoom. Sow sadly it does start on a black screen on the xoom like its not going to work but if u keep taping the screen and tring to move stuff to the screen it will work.
I just loaded the app and it started. What kernel are you using? Are you on OC GPU? I don't like that OC stuff so I'm stock. I'm up to level 40 and it hasn't sputtered or crashed (knock on morning wood).

I actually am using stock and am not rooted. I was thinking about flashing for sdcard support but I think Im gonna wait and see what 3.2 brings.
The game is awesome I used to play it back in my iOS days.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It seems to work for me.. the 'not for tablets' is probably because it isn't optimized as well as you have to scroll the screen a little bit up/down to see the top are of the screen for putting towers etc and down to put them on the lowest part of the playing field. Otherwise.. seems to work great for me.
I get an Unauthorized Request error when I start it up. I click OK and it closes .

Anyone have a work around? It begins to play the game fine. I select the level and difficulty, it shows me where all of the buttons are, and then the map turns black. The game continues on, and I can use the in-game controls, but can't see anything. Guess I'm just beat

I'm using a custom kernel. Try going to the dev section and looking in the Notubuntu thread. Flash that kernel and try it. Maybe its kernel related. Mines works fine everytime. I'm on wave 70 and no hiccups.
By the way I'm not overclocked or anything. I'm using the stock honeycomb also. If you guys are using a different ROM it could be an issue.

For me the trick is to do a two finger re-size on the black background, this causes the play field to be redrawn and works great.
Anyone have this issue? See the small text?
Man this game is harder than it looks. How the hell do I stop the helicopters from getting past? I feel like I'm upgrading the early buildings and its killing me!
I noticed that when my game ended and my name was on my high score list. I could not read the list. Either the text was microscopic or was not working correctly.

I have the issues too. I beat the game on easy and medium. Save up for lightning towers and upgrade them to the Max. Also place the goo towers spread apart to slow them down.

Early on drop a middle launcher along the aircraft flight path, then lightning generators later in the round.
I have the same "small text" issue with the high scores screen - this is probably the reason this game isn't "approved" for tablets.

Hi everyone
Lucky enough to get my nexus from currys last night before they'd made it properly onto the shop floor loving it so far but for one issue and that is REALLY slow rotation of screen in apps... chrome tapatalk YouTube everything takes forever as if it hasn't realised its been tipped over... a very heavy flick seems to help it along but that's really not good enough and I look a bit mental!
I tested with an accelerometer test app and all axes seem to register through all range of motion and even move v slowly so seems to me hardware fine and software bug? I read a Google post that there was an issue on nexus phones in December... anyone experienced it with the 7
Thanks

I'm going to to try and flash a stock image tonight in hopes that it isn't the hardware. I also downloaded an app from the market that tests the sensors, and everything appeared fine there. If flashing back to stock doesn't fix it, I guess I'll be forced to do another exchange.....
Please use this thread for General Discussion and Q&A. To much clutter is happening in the main thread and bug reports are being missed.
There probably wont be to much dev activity in this thread, this is more for the general users.
I have to say....this lends great (new) life to the nook color. It is smooth and quick. Better then any GB or ICS ROM I have tried. Deep sleep works, and it reconnects to wifi when it wakes up.
I also kinda like one of the bugs. The N button won't wake the Nook from a deep sleep. I have on a number of occasions killed the battery when the N button gets pushed as my NC is carried in a bag.
Not sure if I was a part of the thread derail so reposting here:
Seeing what people mean by slow charging. I usually plug in via a power strip, now giving a direct connection to see if this makes a difference because I seem to recall this being the cause of a similar issue in the past. Will report if makes any difference...
UPDATE: Plugging directly seems to be working a little faster than trying to charge from the power strip. Can anyone else who felt the charging was slow confirm whether directly plugging in to the power outlet makes a difference for them?

I was plugged directly into wall.. no power strips.. It charged slow.
Maybe it was just me then? All I know if until I went direct, it wasn't even charging for me at all. I have stock plug and cord.

can't play any video
Guys, I feel like I'm missing something stupid but I can't play any video. I installed "Google Play Movies and TV" and MX Player and even the MX Player Arm7 Codec plugin. No videos play. If i go to "Personal Videos" in the "Google Play Movies and TV" app and click on a video I could previously play it brings up a dialog asking me which app I'd like to play the video in, "MX Player" or "Gallery Video Player" and doesn't just play it. GTA III doesn't work either which I suspect is related. Is this related to the lack of OpenGL that makes Chrome not work? Doesn't seem like anybody else is having the problem. Almost seems like I don't have some basic video driver not installed. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been playing AVIs and WMVs from my SD card, and they look great using MX Player Pro with the ARM 7 NEON codec.
Maybe you should try opening the videos directly from MX Player.
I actually tried to play with MX Player but nothing going, then checked the settings a bit more thoroughly. Apparently neither SW or HW decoding is enabled by default. Seems a bizarre choice of defaults but also seems that the Nook Color should have some sort of native ability to play these files (participialy the MP4 ones). In my googling to fix this problem I read that there actually is no way to HW decode play (don't' think i'm using those terms correctly) MKV files and that SW decoding will have to be used and it'll be laggy, which it appears to be. So looks like I'll have to re-encode some videos before my trip tomorrow. Still seems like something is off with my install and still contemplating moving back to CM9 stable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also, may want to try the VLC Nightlies if your standard players aren't working for you. It has magic in the juju.
Does the build support USB OTG yet, as I kinda have this keyboard case for a seven inch tablet I want to try.

There were no issues charging my HTC One V on the same strip, or my NookColor once I made my nandroid and went back to CM7. Soooo.... What changed? The software on the Nook.

Yeah something is up with the charging. Its taking like 2-3x as long to charge on AC. Takes hours to charge now. I can deal with it im just not used to having to be mindful of the battery. w/e got cm10
I know it is an over asked question. But I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on it. Please don't hurt me. :angel:
Netflix.
What is exactly holding back CM9/10 from getting this app working? CM7 is flying and Netflix works perfectly. I know we needed hardware acceleration, but that seems to be working again so I'm curious why Netflix is still not working. Is there some bug with just this app? Is there a bug with hardware acceleration?
Are developers just not interested in the app so work isn't done to get it working? I flashed back to CM7 after being on CM9 for far too long hoping it would be just around the corner but it never came. So I'm curious if Netflix is a possibility at all or is it just wishful thinking?
I don't mean to be an entitled newb by any means. I just want to set my own expectations. If it's never going to come, then just tell me and I can put my little mind to rest and be happy with CM7.
Thanks for not killing me.
It was fixed and then some other fix broke the fix. I believe its just waiting on a fix for the fix to be pushed to fix it.
Anyway, I've used PlayOn or Plex to play Netflix on just about any device indirectly, this shouldn't be any different to use as an intermediary. Still kinda want the usb keyboard to work, is there a patchable fix or something I can do to the source?

I forgot about PlayOn and I have a lifetime subscription. Does it play well on CM10?
Ok - I have been using mod7 for a while. When they got accellerated video playback working - (seeing the beta 1) I thought I would give it a try.
Wow.
Very nice.
But - I do get SOD (what does that stand for? Screen of death?) (when it goes into sleep - it rarely comes out... - using both the volume and n button.)
But - my main issue is youtube doesn't play. I get a blank video - it almost seems like the video has 0 lenght. You hit play - it doesn't do anything. If you go to full screen - it pauses 'loading video' then flashes back to the windowed player screen. I installed adobe flash from instructions here...
