Hey guys,
i'm going to root my nook color and I see there are two versions: cyanogenmod 7.1 and phiremod 7.1. I know phiremod 7.1 is based on cyanogenmod 7.1 but i'm just wondering which one is better to install into my nook color.
What do you think guys? give me some suggestions
I would just stick with CM7. Phiremod doesn't actually add anything feature wise. It is more of just a theme.
Sent from space
Also, Phiremod is not developing anymore so there is no support for his rom, other than fellow users..
I am having great success, along with others, with the MiRage rom.

I flashed the 1/26/2012 version of MiRage, and while it performs very well, I consistently get errors when connecting to the Market, making it unusable. (I installed the 20110828 version of gapps.) Suggestions?

What kind of errors? "Device not supported" can be fixed with build.prop. A good place to post would be in the Mirage thread, I'm using an earlier release of Mirage and I haven't had any errors with the Market (or anything else-other than the facebook app being wonky without a gps).
what version of clockwork mod are you using? I just went the rounds trying to help someone else out, to find out that she was using an outdated CWM. It should be 3.2.0.1.
Your gapps are the right version.
What procedure did you follow when you were flashing the rom?

Anyone have the latest Flash releasing today?
Other than the old leak, i still haven't seen it anywhere offically....
It's in the market. I dont know how much of a difference it makes since I didn't test it much.
Videos are def more stable now , when there in full screen there even better
what roms/versions are able to get flash from the market?
I'm able to get it from the Market on Nookie Froyo. The prior Market version did not work and I had to revert to the downloaded Flash101.apk. Thankfully 10.2 does work perfectly well so far =) I can't see any obvious improvements though.
doesnt work wid hc v4 2nd edition
On CM7, not only was it the featured app in the Market advertising space, it was also waiting to be installed as an update to 10.1
Cm7 flash 10.2 =
Spoke too soon. For some reason Flash 10.2 stopped working on my Nookie Froyo, but rolling back to the Flash101.apk worked.
Had Flash 10.2 working on Phiremod 5 (CM7). Worked fine for both flash video (given video slowness) and for flash games. Upgraded to day to Phiremod 5.1 and now can't get either Flash 10.1 or 10.2 to work in Browser. YouTube app working very well, tho.
Installed flash 10.2 last night on my froyo 0.68 emmc install from market (it wouldnt do thst for me last week). My stock browser and dolphin browser now successfully play flash and embedded movies.
I am most pleased.

Remember that the only stable installation of NC is the rooted stock B&N which is 2.1 and thereby does not support Flash at all.
SO, only unstable beta builds that change daily, support Flash.
The fact that some of the posters have it working is actually looking good to me.
Nookie Froyo is pretty stable already. The base build is not being tweaked much anymore. It's Gingerbread and Honeycomb that are still a big work in progress.

I can't even see Flash 10.2 in the Marketplace and I'm running Nookie Froyo. It's interesting to see that some are able to make it work.
EDIT: After reading through other posts, I decided to access the Marketplace through Dolphin. I can see it--but when I try to download it, I get the error message
"There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account."
I don't have an Android phone. Any thoughts.
i keep hearing that CM7 7.0.3 has been released but theirs no download when i go to the link to the nightlies. how come? source: http://pocketnow.com/android/cyanogenmod-703-stable-released
CM 7.0.3 is Android 2.3.3. The latest nightly is n63 which is Android 2.3.4. I'm not sure why a 7.0.3 Stable wasn't released for the Nook, but the latest nightly is based on a more advanced version of Android so you're probably not missing anything.
Hrmmm this is good to know

I'm pretty sure live wallpapers are not enabled in n63. This is an issue that others mentioned on the CM7 General Discussion thread in the Nook Development Forums. I think someone figured out how to add them back in manually. Check the aforementioned CM7 thread if you want to take a crack at it.
What's wrong with life wallpaper? It works fine in 7.0.2 stable.
As a side note, 7.0.3 is built on Android 2.3.3. The latest nightlies have been using Android 2.3.4, but might have the security hole in them as well. For the time being, if you're running a CM7 Nightly, rolling back to 7.0.3 Stable is advised.
UPDATE: 7.0.3 seems to have some problems with adding Google Accounts and trying to do almost anything in the Market, but ONLY if you're coming from an Android 2.3.4 Nightly.
According to Cyanogen: "The 7.0.3 update is *ONLY* for people using 7.0.2* stable builds. You'll hose your system if you install it on a nightly from the last week."

Yup. I gave it a test drive to see how the nc took to them and immediately went back to plain bgs. I can respect people who like them, I just see it as a battery drain and they tend to be a bit laggy on some "pretty" ones.

There is something specifically done for releases that includes LWP. Why it's not done on every nightly I'm not sure.
Well i just took a visit to cyanogen's site and it looks like this is what they have to say about the 7.0.3 update:
"CyanogenMod 7.0.3 is now available for download. This update contains a bug fix for our update notification system, as well as an important security fix. It is recommended that all users running a version of CyanogenMod prior to 7.0.3 update to this release."
As it says it fixes an important security bug is it not safe to continue running 7.0.2?
The latest nightly (n64) has been posted on cyanogen's site.
Im currently running 7.0.2 and want to update to 7.0.3 but since there is no release of the latest stable update for the nook i'm wondering if i should flash the latest nightly?

Thats because there is no 7.0.3 release for the Nook as of now. The latest build is the nightly n64.
Looks like all other supported devices got the 7.0.3 update. I wonder if the security fix is only applicable to phones.

Nook not booting after 7.0.3 upgrade
Today May 9th at 1:00PM CT, I received a notification of the 7.0.3 update on the nook, I proceeded as usual but when the nook tried to reboot it got stuck on the blue "A N D R O I D _" screen. I'ts been there for more than 10 minutes now.
Any ideas on what to do next.
I checked the backup option before proceeding to the upgrade. Unfortunately I don't have here another SD to boot Clockworkrecovery and try to restore.
Thanks

I read that the first .3 was bad, and now there is a Signed .3 version up, is that the one you tried? If so, suggest you go back to nightly as there is a #67 now. I'm not sure why the dev's split off the two builds, 2.3.3 vs 2.3.4 but it was confusing for many, myself included. I'm wondering if the new .3 Signed is 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, how can you tell before installing???
I don't know if I used the signed or not, it was the one that ROM Manager prompted to install.
When I get home I will try to flash the backup made during the process. hope that take me back to where I was.

Great news, Hulu Plus is now available for 6 Android devices. I wonder if we can get an apk from a compatible smartphone and test it on Nook Color. The compatible devices are:
Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix
Update: Found it here

The app seems to work perfectly on my Nook Color running phiremod v6.3.
Not supported
Not supported on CM7 n102. Installs fine but wont play anything.
OK, tested it and works fine on my CyanogenMod 7.

What nightly are you using ? Please and thank you.
Latest 7.1 beta and latest Dalingrin OC kernel.
Sent from my Nook Color
By latest 7.1 beta I assume you mean nightly 110?
When I run the app, I get a red and white message popup saying that my device isn't supported. It will allow me to login and manage my queue (big whoop), but it won't play anything.
I'm on CM7 nightly 106, Dal's OC kernel. Build prop is edited for manufacturer = HTC for netflix.
I tried changing my buildprop to match my Nexus one (all kinds of combos until it broke when I changed the processor type), but no joy.
Coincidentally, I am having problems on my Nexus One running CM7 stable (7.0.3-N1-signed). It will start playing, but immediately buffers and then complains about the network (I'm on WiFi).
Any ideas? I'll upgrade to nightly 110 after I run a backup.

Shows stream perfectly for me. Did you modify your build.prop or is it standard? Have you tried using using Rom Manager to fix permissions?
Works perfectly for me too. I'm CM7.1, Build GRI40. My NC thinks it's a "Nexus S" by "samsung" in name only. No fingerprint mods were made when I did this a while back to make Netflix work (which also runs great).
I found my APK here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136634
Well, CM7 nightly 110 didn't help. Switching to Phiremod 6.3 didn't make a difference. Tried Nexus S / Samsung in build.prop (after switching back to nightly 110) and not only did Hulu+ android app refuse video playback, Netflix is impersonating Alvin and the ChipmonksĀ©.
Guess its back to HTC in the build.prop and waiting for an update to Hulu+ for me.
Oh, and the problem with my Nexus One constantly buffering was my modified hosts file for AdBlocking. I had to "Revert" to normal to get Hulu+ working on my N1. (It made no difference on my Nook either).
Question for folks that have it running on your Nooks: Did you ever modify your Flash player to get Hulu working in your browser prior to installing the dedicated app?

I'm running the official CM 7.0.3 (Encore build) with stock / non-overclocked kernel. Your issue is likely kernel / overclock related. It could also be that the unstable nightlies don't work. Try a stable build.

I don't think the OC is the problem (except for the Netflix Chipmonks, that's a "known issue"). To be sure I didn't load one until I restored my CM7 n110 install at the end.
Phiremod 6.3 includes an OC kernel and soricon reports that he or she runs dalingrin's OC kernel, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Phiremod is also based on 7.0.3 stable and soricon uses "latest 7.1 beta" (which I take to mean "latest nightly").
Those users are reporting a "functional" program. I just hope that means they have Hulu + accounts, have logged in, and have actually played videos in the app and not in the browser.

You are right, I do have Hulu+ account and it runs in the app just fine.
I am running the Phiremod test build (which is nightly 102) with the 061311 Kernel and it works great for me.
Did you do the WIN or IE6 mod to your browser? I am using Dolphin HD...in settings, go to USER AGENT and use CUSTOM. Under CUSTOM USER AGENT, enter WIN for windows.
In the stock browser under SELECT USER AGENT, use IE6.
That may be where your getting stuck.

We are discussing running the new dedicated app for Hulu+, not going to hulu.com in a browser. I was concerned that there might be confusion on that matter.
I am also interested in knowing whether or not anyone that *IS* getting the app to run had previously been using the modified flash program in a browser to access hulu.com
Thanks

I'm using a non-modified version of Flash on phiremod v6.3 and the hulu + app is streaming perfectly. When hulu + was announced the other day, it was not available to me in the market. I downloaded the apk from the Android development thread here on xda. Once I installed the apk with app installer and entered my hulu + account info, it just worked perfectly. No modified Flash, no modified build.prop. Let me know if there is any additional information that I can share to help out.
Thanks for the info. It looks like CM 7.1 stable is going to drop in the next build, so I'll get all my backups up to date and prepare a totally fresh install (wiping EVERYthing). I'll try Phitemod first, but I'm hoping CM will work.
I have a theory that the apk I harvested from my N1 originally hosed something deep and switching to the app from xda later never really "took". That or the Netflix build prop changes and / or brian21f's fixer app changed something deep.
We'll see
It's running fine on my NC - CM7.0.3 stable, hulu-fied Flash, have not changed the build.prop (although I tried and couldn't get it to write for some reason).
I used to have Hulu+ but discontinued it a few weeks ago.
I watched on of the free streams this morning and it looked beautiful.
How much I love this forum! Pherimod 6.3 and Hulu + is running perfectly on my NC.
Hi all,
I am still running stock 2.3.6 but I am thinking about unlocking my phone to run CM. Anyway, I have been browsing through the dev CM7 thread and found that there are a lot of random reboots, lockups and other problems in the 7.1 stable release. I am thinking that installing the an older nightly perhaps would give me a better experience. Which nightly would you recommend?
Thanks.
I think its not good to stay on
a single nightly because there are few tweaks with every new nighty which makes it better from last one.
Anyway I recommend you to try cm7.1 rc1 before trying nightlies
For some time.

On my N1 Cm 7.1 is stable to but playing videos in flash full screen causes so many lock ups, i hope cyanogen would release a minor update for it

I'm one latest nightly, build 227. Very good and stable for me.
Just make sure you do a clean wipe including system partition
when coming from a different ROM.
Thanks guys! Do you know of a bug tracking page that lists all the bugs that CM7.1 currently has?
Thanks.
Not a bug tracker, but I find this page very useful and visit it daily to see if I want to upgrade to the latest nightly or not: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=passion
Looks like the latest nightly is marked as 7.1.0.1... #227 as baseballfanz said. Maybe that will fix the problems you mentioned... however, I will note that I've been running 7.1 stable since the day it was released (nightlies before that) and have had zero problems at all. No lockups, no reboots, no problems at all no matter what I do with it...
7.1.0.1 is a maintenance release for a few devices. The N1 was not included in this list. And most of the reboots and instability issues with the stable release are resolved when people perform full wipes of the phone. It has been rock solid for me.
Thanks guys... I have installed CM71 Nightly 231 last night. It was going smooth at the beginning but I got stuck on flashing Amon_Ra recovery. For some reason my phone wasn't taking the CM themed version but the original version installed fine.
First problem after flashing the ROM and gapps was Market wasn't downloading apps for some reason. I think it was because the phone was reinstalling all the apps at the same time and it just couldn't handle the load. I had to install the apps one after another and that got through it.
The phone rebooted itself when I played a video for the first time, but it's been working rock solid so far. Now I'll have to figure out how to use S2E!
Thanks!
I'm running a rooted Nook HD+ . I have CM 10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1 Ovation.
Everything is running perfectly fine and I love the battery life and getting rid of all the bloat from B&N. I do want to update the Nightlies and when new stable versions come out. My question was do I need an SD CARD to do this? Does the SD Card still need to be a bootable one?
I noticed that under about and CM Updates I can download an update. If I download and just let it install will that cause any errors? Or can I just put the rom and gapps on a sd card and flash them (( like I have done with the Galaxy S3 and other android devices)) on the Nook Hd+ since I'm already rooted?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If you installed CWM or TWRP to internal memory you can update to CM10.2 without an SD. But there is an issue if you use the cmupdater to do it. The issue is where cmupdater puts the file versus where CWM/TWRP expects it to be. See the Dummies thread for an explanation. See the note at the bottom of the first post in that thread.

Im not sure if you know but there is a stable 10.2.1 that was released thst i am running now. It works great. I am on a hd im not sure if its available for hd+ yet.
I like this build and have had no issues. I updated threw the cm updater in settings. I did have issue with google play but flashed newer version then did a factory restore and runs with no issues. I woild recomend a restore after each update over earlier version.
