CM7 vs Nook Color 1.41 update - Nook Color General

Is there any reason to go from CM7 to the 1.41 update?
The only thing I was looking forward to that I can't do on CM7 is run the Hulu Plus app like the Nook Tablet can do. But it looks like that won't even be possible with the Nook Color update.
Is there any reason to bother with the 1.41 update for those running CM7?

No Hulu...at least not yet
Netflix, Rhapsody, UStream, Showtime, MOG, Grooveshark and other crap.
I'm pissed. They F'd the Nook Color up as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to try and go back to 1.3 maybe. I needed the native Reader app and they messed it up for me. It does auto-rotate now which is nice, but it does not format my companies manuals correctly now.

Wait, what's wrong with Hulu Plus app on CM7? I just watched the latest Colbert Report episode on High quality mode using that app on my Nook Color.
You'll have to manually install the apk and restore data from TiBu to get it to work, but it does work and has for months.
Thread below has the files you need. Drop 3 files in zip into Timbuktu Backup folder (I can't remember if /sdcard/TimbuktuBackup is the default), then install the APK by double-clicking on it but do not open after installation is done --- restore data only setting in TiBu for Hulu Plus first. You should be up and running without a hitch after that (I'm running it without a modded build.prop)

Maybe a little off but think this way
+ ICS = Windows 8
+ CM7 (Gingerbread) = Windows 7
+ Stock (Froyo) = Windows XP
Do you want to go back to XP from W7?

Do you know if it checks the IP address for location? For the most part Hulu adn most video streaming only work in the US.

I think you answered your own question, hah. Natively, the app does not work, which is what is wrong with it.

I believe Conde Nast magazines like Wired require Nook native software (and not the Nook Android app). Not sure if the magazines work on 1.3 or require 1.4.

I re-flashed to 1.4.1 today to try things out. The interface is outwardly the same as on the Nook Tablet now, though I understand it's still Froyo underneath. Wired Magazine does load now -- no more "not on this device" message like on 1.3 -- and all the neat, interactive features in the magazine work just as on the NT.
I actually like the 1.4.X interface. Unfortunately, my experiments with rooting it on my NC have not worked, and the bloody thing just wiped itself. If I could get it to function like the rooted NT, I'd probably stay on it for a bit. It's a shame the B&N launcher isn't available as an overlay. I guess they're scared I'll buy stuff from them?

Is it possible just to apply 1.41 update onto the CM7 - what would happen then? My bro does not care about root n all stuff - he just wants stock back because CM7 eats the battery and shouldnt have done it in the first place...

market.android.com - WOW!!!

just found this. I logged into my market account from my desktop, selected an app and its downloading to my device directly.
Android strikes again!
edit: Also has full list of all my previous downloaded Apks...
No dice here....my device does not show up on the android web market.
Yeah, that's a really nice feature. I found both my phone AND my nook color. Naturally the nook color shows up as a Zoom2 but I guess the push feature may be limited to 2.2 and newer. So it may require at least Nookie Froyo for that. Or are you using rooted stock FW?

I have a feeling the device that is currently listed is my honeycomb sd card, not the B&N stock. It may require market 2.2.11......

Push doesn't work for me on my DInc. I don't have my Nookie right now so I can't test it. I'm told that you have to open the Market app on your phone in order for the site to see your phone and push apps to it. Doesn't work with the custom rom I'm running though.

I am not sure it works, but my "Zoom2" does list as a valid device..
This must be something new. I see everything i downloaded since the end of December, on both my incredible and the nook... but nothing prior. ill test the push.
when i went to push i saw 2 devices something identified simply as "phone" and "Verizon HTC adr6300" not sure what phone is. possibly one of the froyo builds i ran?
i pushed the chase app to my incredible. by the time i finished editing this post. it was installed... pretty neat. i guess no nookie love right now. still a really cool find.
Edit again... lol interesting thing is whatever "phone" is it shows no make no model. and says the last time i used it was today.. which must be the nook.
I was able to download apps to both my NC and my Samsung Epic from the website. Curiously, they both showed up as "phone" so I wasn't able to tell them apart. Is there any way to register the name of the device on the website?

Very nice. Sometime it's easier to look for things on my computer than with the phone.
I checked it out. I still prefer AppBrain.
My NC shows up but only for the Honeycomb.
The rooted 2.1 that I use as my daily driver is not there. I'm guessing that it needs 2.2 or better.

Actually, I am on 1.01 rooted (haven't updated to 1.1 yet) and it is able to see mine. I haven't really done anything special outside of rooting. I don't have CWR or any custom kernels yet - not sure if that makes a difference. Haven't even had a chance to play with Froyo yet.
My 1.1.0 rooted is there, and a test push worked fine (although, when you get the OTA is crapshoot I would think).
Hmmm. this whole thing seems to be a crapshoot.
My nookie froyo showed up, but when I tried to send something it said unsupported device.
Same thing for my fuze (winmo) running xdandroid 2.2.1. showed up, but unsupported so the whole thing is useless to me.
I wish it worked because there are so many things that don't show up in market on nookie froyo.
Oh well. Let the waiting continue for CM7!!
Works fine here. Nook Color, Mac Mini, USB cable connected in USB mode.
Nook Color and iTouch connected at the same time.
The box shows.

So I chose the top one and it works no problem.
I seem to like looking through the Market on my Mac better.

Follow the Build.prop Steps in the Nookie Froyo Tips Page on Nookdevs. It should make most Apps appear.

CM7 doesn't work with youtube. I'm not sure what your intentions are, but you can't play videos until the problem with the dsp/audio code gets worked out. Fortunately, it seems they have the problem narrowed down, so when The Great One returns from spring break, he has said he plans to hit the ground running.

Delete the Youtube.apk from /system/app then just install YouTube from Market.
Also make sure you have Flash Player 10.2 from Market.
If you use the lastest version of CM7, YouTube works, but at only 15fps..
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon...

Our definitions of "working perfectly" are very different.
Also, it's my understanding that the Youtube app does not use flash. It streams an Mp4 or something for efficiency and hardware accel. The YoutubeXL app is really just a browser pointed at youtube's XL site and it uses flash (software accel)

Maybe they are and maybe not...what I am trying to say is that my youtube works perfectly...in HD...just as well as it does on my phone...I'm trying to figure out WHY. If it is truly working the way it's supposed to, I wanted to share what I had going. I know that the apk doesn't use flv....(My flash works fine, too, so maybe I accidentally did something right there, as well.) Does anyone know how to measure fps in the youtube.apk setting? Thanks.

Can't install YouTube or Google Apps CM7 SD Nook Color
When I go to the market, it displays these apps but there is no INSTALL or DOWNLoad button. It's missing from the app page. I have tried going to the developers page and the same thing happens. It's as if it doesn't recognize the NOOK Color when CM7 is running. Latest CM7 version was installed less than a week ago. NetFlix works however. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, thanks for the response. I read the post earlier but it referred to "updates". I wish to install the program for the first time. I have a new first-time install of CM7 and presumable it contained the new market. The apps show up but there is on Install button showing. Is this still the 160 vs 161 issue?

Okay, this was very helpful and works with brand new installs and presumable updates as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I can now see the Install buttons on many more applications.
The only problem I have now is that many of the videos on YouTube give me the following error when I try to load them:
"There was a problem while playing... Touch to retry." Retrying doesn't help. The same videos load and play properly using my big Windows 7 computer. Has anyone seen this error and has a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks again.

CM 7 Release Candidate RC 4.0 available on Nook Color

It is finally here!
http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/03/cyanogenmod-7-0-rc-4-release-candidate-for-nook-color-available/
...and brings hardware acceleration
Straight from nightlies to RC........ wow
Ok, for those interested, i do not believe this will have the video lag fix.. i do not get how this can be an RC level release....
I just installed it and it seems to work fine, including YouTube. No lag detected, at least on my Nook Color.
Anyone know if the sleep issue has been resolved?
Or if the menu lag/garbage collection issue has been fixed? When I tried it about a week ago certain apps such as Reddit is Fun were basically unusable due to the extreme menu lag.
thank you XDA
You've given me a very nice tablet for cheap.
Glad to donate. This is really fun!
CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC4 has arrived
CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC4 has arrived
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-7-0-0-rc4-has-arrived
The next round of RCs have arrived. From RC2 until now has mainly been bug fixes and we’re getting near the final state. In this release, there may still be some lingering GPS issues on the Evo and the N1 call audio bug hasn’t been fully fixed. But if you were happy with the previous RCs/Nightlies on your device, there is no reason not to update to this one.
That being said, this is the most stable version of CyanogenMod 7 to date and will probably be the last RC before the final rolls around. The most notable new fixes are on the tablet side of devices. The Nook Color, for example, now has working hardware acceleration. Because of these fixes, many of them are receiving their first RC. There was also a big fix from AOSP for EGL issues, which is why all devices bumped to RC4 from RC3.
Feel free to grab CM7-RC4 (or RC3.14159265358979323846264338327 as we call it internally) from ROM Manager, our forums, or our mirror network if you prefer manual downloads.

Are there any major issues in RC4 that should make me hesitate to move up from Nookie Froyo to CM7?
Does the internal media partition work properly on this ROM?

Only issue I had was that I had to manually install google apps to get the market working.
Other than that- I miss the Tablet Tweaks.

Yes.

Nightly over nightly gave me no problems.
You might be fine.
Worst case is that you would have to boot into recovery to re-flash the rom and wipe data and cache, so just make sure to back up your current rom.

The issue was that you couldn't actually sleep the device... death sleep or something in the kernel and the nook color. Basically this means the device was always on and using about 2% of the battery per hour even while "off". That pretty much means it can't go on the wifes NC.

quick question from someone who's never messed with nightlys before my nook...why would I install this instead of nightly build 32? I'm guessing the RC4 would be just a really good nightly build that they feel is ready for release, yes?
Edit: I just noticed that the RC4 was just posted, so I think what I said is basically right.
Another edit (sorry): also, can someone tell me what clearing the cache does (or doesn't do if you decide not to do it) when you switch or update roms?

The cache consists entirely of files that can be thrown away as they get regenerated by apps as needed. When you upgrade your ROM it's recommended you clear the cache so that the system and its apps don't get confused by cached files that represent scenarios that are not relevant to the ROM you're running.

I would really like to know if this is fixed in the RC release too.
Just flashed it to my NC. I went back to Zeam launcher just becuase it's what I was using on Nookie Froyo and I had all the settings & shortcuts backed up already. I also added Button Savior for those times when the status bar buttons are hidden. I really like the "lens" lock screen as it's much more convenient to swipe down on a 7" screen than across.
So far I haven't run into anything that doesn't work. Titanium Backups of my user apps went in quite happily. My Angry Birds can rest easy, their hard work has not been in vain
The only hitch so far - my Titanium restore of Thumb Keyboard did not work as expected. Under input settings, the checkmark refused to go on. I re-installed from the Market, enabled it successfully, and then restored the data only from Titanium.

[Q] HBO go

Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.
Code:

Works great on my Evo but not my Gtab with 5.1.1. I'm getting the same thing as you.

Doesn't work with my cable company either.
If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2
Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.
Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?
According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.

Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser
HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).

The new chat with google without having to wait for 2.3.4. But on the Gtab both screens are turned sideways This is running on Vegan Ginger, someone else test on a different rom and let me know if you have any luck.

Nice find, thanks!
Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, works great! Thanks for finding this!!
Maybe just me, but it may have kept the g tab from falling asleep.

You have to have a contact that is available to do video chat in order to see the contact.

Working on Calk's ROM
I just got this up and running on my GTab running Calk's 1.1 ROM. The picture quality is very pixellated which I assume is because it hasn't been tablet optimized. I'm really just happy that I can actually use the camera for something, GTalk no less!
Wow, Nice find! installed on my gtab running vegan 5.1, made video calls to both my PC and Evo, worked great!
Justim
Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.

Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.

Downgraded to vegan 5.1 and she's running perfectly now. Great find guys!
For some reason, I have about a 5 second audio delay on mine. Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, another guy in our office also has a gtab running the same Rom. When we tried VTok on our internal wireless network we got the delay. Haven't tried it on any other system yet.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or have a suggestion for fixing it?
Anyone have this running well on a Gingerbread release?

I am running stock and do not have access to the market. Can someone post the apk please to see if it works on my stock gtab?

I wouldn't try to get much of anything to work on a stock G-tab. You need to just go ahead and bite the bullet and install VegaN 5.1 at least. If you stick with the stock ROM you will ALWAYS have problems getting apps that everybody else gets with no problem. If you follow the instructions here at XDA you will get full market access too so there is no downside.
Vtok looks and sounds interesting, but the fact that none of my contacts show up (even though I know they have video set up) tells me that maybe everybody must have Vtok for it to work, like skype, tango, etc. ?

That isn't, or shouldn't be the case. I gave it a spin last night and was able to connect to someone on normal PC Laptop. The person you want to chat with has to be able to use video at that moment or they won't show up in this app. Not intended to be rude, just to give it a little highlight so other's don't miss it and ask the same things later.
I had the same VEGAn Gingerbread issue with the camera rotation, but i've seen that on pretty much every device i've used any video chat on that was geared to be landscape by default.
Video quality was very low, but i'll blame that one a bad internet connection till I have somewhere a little better to test with. Hopefully this is updated to work a little better in the future since it's the most widely usable option outside of Skype(which is still holding onto that video chat function from most of us) or Yahoo(plugin needed for Android), but Yahoo seems to only work for a minute or two before it pretty much destroys the stability of my tablet till I reboot... lol

This is a complete lie!!!
You can install Android Market on a stock firmware, and have access to all of the apps that a custom firmware has access to. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about!
