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.

I´m having bootloops trying to install chainfire3d, just wanted to report that
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.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk 2
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...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
and still no go. I also reset the machine to factory defaults..
what am I missing?
thanks

Sam, try to deactivate the HD video option.
Thanks - Do you mean the HQ button on the lower right of the video? If so - I disabled it with no effect. Are you talking of something else?

Yesterday I got my NC, I am living in France so have to order it from amazon, takes about 5 days.
1st thing I notice it is much heavier than my sony PRS600, one hand holding is tough for me, for some reasons I need all my handheld dev to be light weight as much as possible, NC is however acceptable.
Screen is great, this is the main reason I pick it, NC doesn't disappoint me, and touch is very sensitive and accurate.
hardware, this isn't much to say, for that price I guess it's a great deal.The issues are buttons and SD slot, no classic android hardware buttons really troubles me after rooting, and which genius come out with that SD slot design?
OS, sort of sucks, don't know it's the 2.1's problem or what, everything is a bit slow and lag, I hope 2.2 will fix them abit like your guys said, I really do.
software: as a ereader it's original softwares work fine, reading is good, pdf is a bit lag, video play back is good, but 720p video can only play smoothy in MP4 format, only problem is my comic books don't works on NC.I guess I need find a good app for this.
So last night I root the NC, using the auto nooter it wasn't hard at all, but there is a strange bug, after I reboot the NC, the Youtube stop working, can't even run it. I do remeber it worked fine just after rooting.
Another thing is some app on my NC have no sounds, sometime they works fine after a reboot, but after a while they always stop making any sounds, the OS sounds are still there, only not works in apps.
Over all I think I am happy with the new toy, gona buy one for my mom too, just wait for I fix the sounds and install Plants vs Zombies for her
Thx for reading this, and sorry for my english.
No android hardware buttons:
- There is an app posted in the nook dev subforum called SoftKeys - works great. It overlays the buttons on the screen.
No comic viewer:
- There's a couple. Search for ACV (Droid Comic Viewer)
Youtube not working:
- Uninstall, then reinstall. Easiest if you have ASTRO file manager or something similar
Audio issues:
- Dunno, haven't encountered the ones you mentioned, so far.
Grats on your new toy!
Where are you getting plants vs zombies? I just looked in the market and its not there. If someone has ripped it from the ipad please post it here I would love to have that game
Just purchased 1 for my wife 2 nights ago. I ended up playing with it too much that she suggested that I go ahead and buy one for myself, so I did. Planning to root it shortly.
I was really looking to get a galaxy tab but after playing with the nook I was pretty satisfied. I just could not justify spending another $300 or so for the tab, considering CES is also around the corner and new products will probably be unveiled. Looking to get a new phone with the $300 I saved. I am using an HD2 on Android at the moment and will wait till after the new year.
The Nook will be used mainly for reading, some surfing, maybe a few movies. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.

my friend use a HTC desire HD, he gives me that game, don't test it myself, cuz NC is my 1st android dev, I wana install it after all the things are done,besides u need 2.2 OS to run it, it's a port from PC.
Maybe its me but I like the SD card slot. I mean its without a doubt not that easy to put it in and take it out but atleast its better than it being completely in the machine and unable to extract if it doesnt eject
as far as youtube... I think its easier using zeam but thats just me XD
hold it
move it to the trash icon
wait for it to say "uninstall"
uninstall
adb over the apk
enjoy
update: I found the sound is off every time NC goes to sleep mode, when it turns on again, show no sounds at all.

I have the same exact problem. I don't think it's an issue with all of them just some. Does this mean it's a hardware problem?
After getting a tip about moboplayer I downloaded it, wow what a difference. I can actually play Avi files that are 720p and encoded at high profile, simply awesome.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Can anyone else confirm this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's another ffmpeg-based (i.e. software) player. Chinese origin. Looks suspiciously like Rockplayer. Changelog, if to be believed, indicated that most development took little over a month. Google search on 'moboplayer' turns up no track record, just a list of low-quality links. OP behaves like a spambot. My opinion, let someone else be the guinea pig.
Comparison:
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/index_en.html
There are a few users over on this thread also claiming it works well and they have more than 1 post for those worried about spambots
I'm always amazed at some's carefree attitude of trying new software. It's as if the notion of malware simply doesn't exist in their world. But hey, somebody has tried it, and he has more than a few posts, so I'm sure it must be OK.
And FREE, too! What a deal, eh?
after the recent virus raid on the marketplace I'm a little skeptical about this app. It seems too good to be true.
....................
Tried this on my CM7 Galaxy S and it looks like a fancier version of the Rockplayer.
720P still either stutters badly when using software mode or the video plays fine but no sound on hardware mode (identical to the Rockplayer).
I can assure you I am not a spam bot. File was an Avi encoded at high profile 3.1, played perfecly throughout. Just trying to help others out, jesus people jump all over everyone on this forum, hostile much?

Anyone else using moboplayer know if it is true that the non version will not function in xoom? I am currently using medium build.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Sorry to be a bit of a skeptic here, but if you go to the Android Market and you look at the reviews for this app all but one of them is dated April 1. That's an odd coincidence.
And what holiday falls on April 1?
just tried it, its totally just rockplayer but it has engrish, doesn't work as well, and just seems overall shady. Vitalplayer works OK but rockplayer is still definately the best as of right now.
I have been using moboplayer for a couple days and its the only player that plays everything i through at it with no problems. ( MAKE SURE YOU USE THE MEDIUM VERSION AND NOT THE NEON VERSION)
They just released an updated version on there website today.
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
Rockplayer constinatly force closes on me.
If this is for real, then why are the download links non-functional?
It's for real. I just put it on my Xoom and my Evo. Runs really well. It does seem to be a rockplayer clone, but runs slightly better for me, and has a nice interface for a media library. Perhaps the site was updating with the latest version in regards to links being nonfunctional. I just downloaded 2 diff versions about 30min ago.

I updated mine earlier today from the website. I just checked and i see the Neon version sends you to the Android market and the the others are not available. Could be they took them down because of it being published on the Market now.
I also like how you can change the color of the UI.
OK it is for real. Was able to install it from the Market, and then upgrade from inside the app to the Non-Neon version. Good video player, with HD video that has been transcoded for the XOOM. But, otherwise performance doesn't appear any different than Rockplayer. High Proflile MKV's play with choppy video and no sound. Will experiment more with it in the morning.
* Netflix does not appear in the Market for Droid 3.
* Attempting to play a movie on Netflix on Droid 3 via sideload will crash your phone.
I side loaded it and it runs as far as the app but video is a bunch of green crap with no sound.

I know, you'd think it'd be no problem, which is what I assumed. Perhaps support for the OMAP4 is coming via update?
That would be my guess. I think the D3 is the first with OMAP 4 in it, the Bionic is next so once a few devices have it and are selling Netflix will see a reason for it.
There is also multiple different netflix's out there, have you tried all of them?
Hi I tried netflix on cyanogenmod 7 and it worked fine, but when I try to do it in coredroid it said my phone was able. What sup with that.

Well if you can't wait just use a 30 day trial from playon.tv and get netflix that way.. I would imagine they will have the app by the end of this month or early next
Same here with the green crap. Audio actually does work, by the video decoding is busted. I used 3 or 4 different version of Netflix, some crashed my phone, others had the busted decoding.
It's compatible now, or so it says. Mine isn't working. It streams but everything is all green.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
Yup same here. It will allow me to download and install from the market, but I get the green pixelated screen followed by a reboot.
Confirming, officially supported, and still officially broken.
The version you are downloaded is the 1.2.2 and we have to wait for the "official" 1.3 update. It seems Google is possibly being a little slow?
The 1.3 update just hit the android market and it now works for the D3... Although the colors are not as good as it looked on my old Droid Inc.
Maybe some tweaking can resolve the color issue...
Confirmed, updated version is working for D3 quite nicely.
I just picked up the Nook Color and after rooting, installing Clockwork, and then Phiredroid, I have everything working the way I want it except youtube. I've tried this thread

and many others from google searches. This is really frustrating as I love this as a tablet, but without having youtube on it makes it a lot less entertaining. I can play embedded videos, go to youtube.com and play just fine, but the app won't install. Any help is appreciated!

Perceived "Cockiness" stemmed out of fact that I suggested the solution for Nookcolor back in January. It was almost ignored here, and I was consequently ostracized because of my firm belief CM7 on Nookcolor has NO hardware acceleration of 2D/3D/video rendering. Older Flash and YouTube allow fallback to "software" rendering, newer versions deny it.
Did you try newer versions of YouTube/Flash?

Mobo Player? Rock Player? Though these might be good only for up to 480p in NC -- when there's no HW acceleration. 1350 MHz overclock may help a little.
If you really want to find something to play 720p .mkv files (and 1080p full 59.94 FPS files) you might want to try $99 HP TouchPad (and almost equally priced Jaguar 3 tablet in October) instead of NookColor. I'm done with CM7 on NookColor, you can sense it from my blog. The whole Android project is looking quite exhausted for our 4-year old chip with 8-year old SGX530 GPU.
You may want to share my find with other people who are struggling with YouTube/Flash on NC here at XDA Devs, that would be the better "Thank-You", LOL. Even if I don't get a single penny from visitors to my blog (banned at AdSense for critisizing Google).
I am thinking about buying the hdmi cable for my Nook HD and before I do I was wondering if anyone is using it with CM 10.2?
Or do I need to go back to 10.1?

what's an n2a card? I presume that is not the B&N adaptor right?
An n2a card is a commercialy available sd card with android version 4.2 on it.
I don't use it anymore because stock NookHD+ works fine for me.
Since the Google appstore is on it I don't see the need to fiddle with it.
In other threads I saw posts that the HDMI works with rooted HD+ but with some flaws..
I got two responses to this question when I posted in the 10.2 thread. Two "it works" comments using the B&N HDMI product.

It would be nice if the screen would turn off when hooked up, but that isn't that big of a deal to me.
As far as lag, when I use the ABC or CBS app I get no lag, but when using Crackle I do see some lag every so often, but it isn't enough to get worried about.
I do have I guess what is considered a slow internet speed compared to most, 3 megs download, if it was higher I don't see lag as being a problem, "of course your mileage may vary" would like to update my speed, but live on a fixed income & it works for me.
I think the battery time is much better then stock was, but of course when hooked up to the tv I have it plugged in. I have never actually kept track time wise on how long the battery time is.
Hope this was some help to you

I only stream using netflix and the HDMI adapter and from my experience, Stock 2.1.1 streams netflix flawlessly while using cm 10.1.3, there are stutters, temporary video lockups and etc. That is why I now have cm10.1.3 on emmc and Stock 2.1.1 on an SD card. I use CM for most of my tablet experience, then boot to stock 2.1.1 to read my magazines and newspapers and watch netflix. BTW, same issues with cm10.2 when I had that on emmc.
I do not know if the same issue exists with Crackle, HuluPlus, etc as I have not tried those. But for me, Stock is the only way to stream Netflix to my Sammy PDP without any issues. YMMV
