Just updated to v1.2.0 and re-rooted, but now I have a strange problem. I tried searching these forums, and The Google, but couldn't find anything helpful.
When you click in a text field (e.g., the search box, or the address bar of the browser), the keyboard will pop-up for about 1/2 second, and then minimize again. You can do this repeatedly with the same result - the keyboard just won't stay open.
I've tried rebooting, and even installing a different keyboard (can't get them to appear as an option in NCTools).
Has anyone else run into this? Were you able to fix it?
This used to happen to me when I used a Archos 28 "tablet". It was because there wasn't enough RAM most of the time, so it would close the keyboard to make more.
I doubt that's the case for the Nook Color, though. I've never had a problem with memory on these things.
I've had that happen as well but strangely only when the nook is at an angle like when I'm laying on my back in bed with the screen above me angled downward, tilting the screen so that it is facing up solves it for me, like I said, strange.

Did you do anything to resolve it, or just live with it?
I just live with it, simply changing the angle seems to solve it, that's a simple enough fix for me.

FYI for anyone that runs into this thread later:
There must have been some glitch in the rooting process that screwed up the keyboard. I ended up doing the whole process over again by restoring back to stock 1.1, updating to 1.2, and re-rooting. Everything works like a charm now.
Incidentally, the stock/update/root process is a lot easier the second time you do it.
Hi, I have the exact issue, anyone knows where I can download 1.1 rom or 1.01 rom? I tried all 1.2, 1.3, 1.4.1, they all have the same issue. Thanks.
Every time before install new ROM, I formatted system, data, and cache, but seems still not totally formatted, cause 1, the keyboard part still mess up, now even cm7 on emmc has the issue. 2, the wifi connection still saved because it auto connects to my network every time flashed. Any idea? Thanks.
Having a major issue here with my NC. Running CM 7.1 and I'm getting random hangups during normal use. The touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive, and I can't turn the display on or off. If I'm listening to music, however, the music continues to play. The only way to fix it is to reboot the NC. Has anyone heard of this and can offer me a fix?
Thanks in advance

Is it an SD card install? If so what is the brand of your card.

Yes, I had the exact same problem with a new install on emmc, and uninstalling Beautiful Widgets on the advice of another thread I found here completely solved the problem. I had forgotten that BW did the same thing to my Incredible when I tried it a long time ago. If you don't have BW installed then take this as a warning not too
Very interesting...
I've had the exact same problem myself for awhile now, and couldn't figure out the cause. I even wiped the Nook and reflashed CM7.1, but the problem still popped up once and awhile.
I'm also using Beautiful Widgets. I think we have a pattern developing here. Can the OP confirm/deny he has BW installed?
Beautiful Widgets messed me up too...hung the hell out of my nook color. They even know of the issue and did nothing about it. Got it on Amazon as a paid app.
My nook is booting up fine, but once it gets to the android interface after a couple seconds or minutes, it just freezes and I can't do anything until I reboot. Has anyone else had any similar issues like this?
If this is a repost, I'm sorry just point me in the right direction as I could not find anything.
Edit: This may be linked to beautiful widgets? I have reflashed CM7 twice now, seems to be linked to that.
Yep, BW will do exactly that. Fancy Widgets is a decent alternative for a large clock widget
I've been having a similar problem after I rerooted and installed phiremod. I can rarely even boot up and have a functional tablet. It almost instantly freezes and must be reboot only to do it again.
reeeaaally pissing me off.

after about 10 reboots I was able get it running long enough to uninstall beautiful widgets and after another reboot it seems to have solved the problem. Its a bummer though cause it a good app.
I had the same problems with Beautiful Widgets and the BeWeather widgets. I've read Fancy Widgets work and I'm currently using HD Widgets since it has a 4x4 widget and hasn't given me any problems.

I'm having a freezing problem, with pure, clean CM7. I can use the Nook for 1-10 minutes, browsing the web, and then it hard freezes. Then if I reboot it, it typically gets stuck in a CM7 bootloop the next 1-2 times I reboot it. Then eventually it will boot successfully again.
I tried switching to running CM7 from the SD card, didn't seem to change anything.
(I definitely do not have Beautiful Widgets, or anything else, installed. I even checked in Manage Applications--none found.)

Are you overclocked? And I assume since you mention SD card, you normally run from the internal storage? And is this a hard freeze while you're using it, or some time later while the screen is off?
1. Not overclocked. Completely pure, just-installed, CM7 with no changes to default settings. No GApps even.
2. I had the same problem when running from internal. Switched to the SD card to see if that would change anything--it didn't'.
3. Hard freeze occurs while using it.
Thanks!
I also had major freezing w/7.1. I flashed the last nightly (11/16/11) and gaaps.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
Although freezing might happen once in awhile, it's rare now. I only use one widget (wifi signal). Everything else is pretty much default. No overclocking, live wallpaper, themes, etc.
I've downloaded about 20 apps so far.
Yep, it is caused by beautiful Widgets. I had the same thing happen and I posted on their development forums. I was able to get the startup logs and send them to the developer. Then the response was he could not figure out the bug. The logs clear showed a problem when trying to load the bw, but the bug may have been down deeper the operation system.
Not sure. But bummed none the less.....

I was having a similar issue. However I didn't have Beautiful Widgets installed. I solved this by going to the Cyanogen CPU settings. I set minimum to 800mhz, max to 1200mhz and the profile to performance. I also checked the SET ON BOOT (can't recall the exact wording.) After a reboot, I haven't experienced any freezing. Hope this helps you guys.
Thanks.
I will give that a try with a beautiful widget on my home screen. then I will report back on my findings.
Update: nope that did not fix the problem for beautiful Widgets. I made your changes, rebooted, added a super clock widget to my home screen, rebooted, it froze. Thanks for the idea, though.

I've been following this thread as I have been experiencing the same thing, I ridded the nook of BW and it hasn't helped the freezing upon boot issue, even knocked up the min setting to 800. I've reflashed a million times. This came out of no where.
Edit: its getting really annoying. This thing isn't even useful. Never occurs with the ics preview. Only with any cm rom.

Sorry to hear that. The only time I have really experienced freezing, it was always because of some application. Is there some application that you always install that could be causing the issue. I know at one point it seemed like a certain version of flash would freeze mine, even if it was just installed not being used. Are you using the most recent stable build of cm7?
for now I have switched to ics on my nook, just for fun, I wanted to be able to make my own nightlies so I set that up . Will have to try a beautiful widget on there once I make a backup.

same issue here , mine freezes after an hour of use, ... i have nightly 10252011 with the oc kernel . i just change the cpu setting and will report back if this solves the problem , if not then i guess i will try the stable cm7.

reporting back still freezes , i will install cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip stable tonight and see what happens, what oc kernel to go with stable cm?
So for what it's worth currently beautiful Widgets seem to work on nook color ICS without freezing it up. But ICS is still in it's infancy.
By the way are you running off an sd card or Emmc? Running off an sd card is not nearly as good and that can cause a lot of freezing. Just throwing that out there.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I found out it was nook tweaks causing the issue. Removed it, and it's been running fine ever since. I'm on Kang cm7

how do u find out it was nook tweaks that was causing this?
Because it always ran just fine, until I installed nook tweaks checked "set on boot" for the cpu settings. I didn't change them, just ticked it. After that, anytime i rebooted, it was a fight to keep it on. So i removed the last thing i put on there, nook tweaks. Its not froze one time and I've rebooted it a whole since then. I reinstalled it but never opened the cpu settings, just edit the audio stuff, no freezes. Kinda wierd.

I just install cm 7.1 stable and change the kernel to daligrin 603011 and still having freezing issues . I don't want to do it ,but i guess i will have to do a complete wipe and then install cm 7.1 fresh.
Nook Color freezing issues
I too have having freezing issues.
Symptoms: I'll be using my Nook Color with no issues when it suddenly just locks up. No error of any sort on the screen. Screen does not black out. It just locks up. I think everytime it has happened has been after I've transferred several MB (over 5 at least) of data over Wi-Fi.
I'm running CM7.2.0 RC0 KANG build from 11/30/2011 from eMMC.
I'm overclocking to 1200 with the Min CPU set to 800 and the governor set to Performance. I also tried Max CPU at 1100 but that didn't make a difference. I'd had Min CPU at 300 but moved to 800 based on a suggestion found here. Setting the Governor to Ondemand didn't make a difference either.
I do have Nook Tweaks installed but have changed nothing from the defaults and nothing is set to start up at boot time. (I use it to get to USB Host Mode.)
With this build I haven't had any screens of death like I was getting on CM7.1. Just the freeze-ups.
Anyone else seeing a pattern with Wi-Fi?
I've never installed Beautiful Widgets.
Not sure what is going on. I experienced it on stock rom, and I'm also experiencing it on Android Revolution HD Rom.
It seems like whenever the phone is tasked by an app opening or closing, I experience a random reboot.
Anyone know whats causing it?
Yeap me too, but only after closing final fantasy IV.. Dunno what's the deal here
°° no rest for the wiCKed °°

Me, too, but I didn't catch any regularity, yet.
I am on stock ROM.
One time a had a crash report from htc, but most times I only realize it, because I have to re-enter my pin.
Today I realised, that long-pressing the power-button does restart the phone without any other input.
Maybe it's that?
I'm using developer edition and have been suffered from heavily random reboot.
The phone rarely rebooted (2 or 3 times) while I was using it but just kept rebooting if I left it idle (5 reboots in 20 mins). I cannot reproduce the reboot because it was so random. One day, it just kept me annoying by rebooting itself more than a dozen time. The other day it just went super smooth and stable. This reboot has been happening on both completely stock and custom (Rom, kernel).
Anyone got a clue?
If you know a certain action is causing the reboot get a logcat, there's an app called catlog on the play store. Press record, repeat the action, after it reboots get the logcat and post it here

I'm using Android Revolution ROM on 4.2.2., same thing. It happens once in a blue moon, and it's only on wake when I hit the power button. The whole phone freezes and reboots.
Is everyone here on the Developer's Edition?
I'm having the same issue, dev edition stock except recovery, and root. Some days it reboots, other days its fine. Not exactly sure whats up w/ that
Sent from my HTC One
I'm gonna go ahead and bump this, seeing as I'm facing the same issue on my 2 day old device.
At first I thought it was a problem with 4.1.2, but even after upgrading to 4.2.2 the issue is still there.
ViperOne 2.1.0 the same trouble
Hello,
I confirm the same problem on ViperOne ROM. I have tried out ElementalX 3.4 and Bulletproof kernels. But it seems to be kernel independent.
I attached the log, my configuration is as described in my signature except that I use Bulletproof kernel right now.
It is quite frustrating cause I just wanted to play a movie on my TV using Hama MHL cable, but everytime I connect my phone to the adapter the phone reboots, then it gets stuck on HTC logo, then I have to reboot it manually holding power button. I am also experiencing a reboot right after phone boots up.
This is such a serious issue that I am thinking of going back to stock kernel, but I am not sure if it will help
Any hints?
EDIT: I just installed stock kernel, but still the same, really does not seem to be a problem of the kernel
EDIT2: still trying to find the out whats the problem, I did a clean reinstallation of everything, even w/o using Titanium Backup, well, MHL still causes reboots
Hello!
I have a problem with my Nook HD+ since some weeks.
It is extremely slow, when I touch a buttin, it takes about 30 seconds for any reaction, sometimes even more. Scrolling takes about 5 seconds to react. Downloads via WiFi are also extremely slow, although I have a perfect WiFi connection. It is even hard to download a new CM11 version via the downloader, takes about 3 hours...
I have tried different CM11 builds, always with the same problem. Currently the 11-20141109-NIGHTLY-ovation.
Any hints or ideas to solve this?

Probably a lag issue due to trim. Search the forum for those terms to understand.

Did you try a clean re-installation (i.e., with factory reset and wipe /data)?
FWIW I've been running CM11 M snapshots without any issue.
Yes, tried a clean-reinstall with factory reset and wiping all data more than once. Last time yesterday evening. After first boot (took about 10 minutes) Nook started to download the german language pack with an estimated duration of 192 hours (!). WiFi connection ist perfect, no data transfer problems with my mobile phone....
Must try to understand the trim lag issue, not so easy when english is not your native language....
You go on to explain the German language pack download after first boot. You need to keep it clean to see if its the rom and device that's the problem and not what your putting on it.
That said, 192 hours for the German language pack doesn't mean there's anything wrong on your end - it could just be the computer server that it is being downloaded from is currently under heavy use or slow for you.
I always choose Germany at the initial setup. Then it downloads the german additions.
I will make a new install without any other language and keep you informed.
Have had similar slow down with last few nightlies but no wifi issues, have tried trim(which worked for a short time), ensuring have plenty free space now have 3.5gb free and finally found greenify - as saw it mentioned somewhere not sure where now but nook now running very quickly.
Just need to work out which process(es) are the cause of the issue.

What must I do to try trim?
Interesting fact too: When I wipe data/factory reset my Nook, I still have different folders of many apps on the internal storage. Looks like the wipe does not work properly...
For trim I have been using lagfix free from the google store

Wipe data/factory reset does not wipe your media files. To wipe media files you must go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'.

Isn't lagfix the app that helps bork (not necessarily brick) nooks?

You like to play it dangerous. lol
Edit: I guess it may have been improved since then, but dunno. Certain people may still be using older rom builds where its definitely a problem.
I thought latest rom had the safety valves in place
So far its been fine and since greenify not had to use as this seems to have fixed my lag - if does bork my nook then will be able to give my other half something to opt on my xmas list!
