thank you in advance for contributing to this build and supporting users like me!
I jumped right into this with my Nook Color and am now running CM7 nightly build 19. So I essentially registered Nook, then loaded CWR package and CM7.zip and gapps.zip onto my uSD in terminal (dd) then followed steps to put it onto the eMMC (internal). unfortunately this is my first andriod experience so I am not sure what is normal and what isn't, but here is my first impression. I am not sure which kernal I am running either.
Is there a generic android market? I saw a 3rd party one at first thinking this was the one to use and signed up for it then went back to what I thought was the normal one linked through gmail. I will say that finding angry birds on my Nook was a bit of a headache (or any app not on the desktop/home for that matter). For the longest time I couldn't figure out how to find the app once it was downloaded and installed from the market. I simply couldn't find it, but then after playing around for 15 min. I figured out to mess around with the check boxes in upper left corner and there was a drop down menu. Do I need to manually create a shortcut for each app onto the desktop? seems like a PITA for the dozens and dozens of apps I'd like to install. Also the process of reverting back to an already open app was weird unless there was a short cut in place.
The checked boxes only tell you what is being downloaded or what was just installed.That is where all notifications are found..
There should have been a "Market" icon in your app drawer. The app drawer, should be at the bottom center of the screen. If it is not there do the following in this order...
1. Upper right hand corner, click the 3 stacked bars
2. Bottom right corner, click settings
3. Click ADWLauncher
4. Click General Behavior.
5. Click swipe up actions or swipe down actions
6. Click Open/Close App Drawer
7. Click the "n" at bottom of Nook
8. Slide finger up or down depending on step 5
Now all your apps should be there.
***Optional***
If you press and hold app icon, while the app drawer is open, the screen will go back to home screen where you can place app short cuts.
Also, in the settings I see that there is an overclock option up to 900 mhz. Do I need to add a different kernal to get it to 1 or 1.1 ghz then ?. . . I did see a couple others posted. Do I set the min or the max? e.g. is the system smart enough to adjust accordingly or do I need to overclock the min?
Yes you will need another kernal. I dont have link right now, sorry.
Youtube through browser or app wont work. Not sure if maybe i need to install flash? I wasn't looking forward to the battery hungry flash player.
I have heard that you will need to install Flash via the Market.
One last thing. I thought that the pinch to zoom and clicking in web pages was a bit finnicky. maybe I just need to get used to it or maybe my gunk protector screen is reducing sensitivity.
It is a slight learning curve.
I also don't quite understand how this is just a "build." it works great! can I update without using CWR when the final version is released?
You can do that or even better, update through Rom Manager, you can find it in the Market.
I haven't tried bluetooth yet but I did see the enable options in settings. I will try with my jawbone tonight.
I hope this was some help.I jumped right into this with my Nook Color and am now running CM7 nightly build 19.
