I've been playing around with cm7 since release, internal build so I haven't run into the brick problem, but I have noticed a couple issues that I never had with a plain 1.4.0 rooted nook tablet.
First, I am losing wifi connectivity when I let the tablet sleep for more than a few minutes. Wifi will remain on, but just scans indefinitely while finding no networks. Sometimes I have to toggle wifi off and on several times before it starts working again. I have never had it lose connectivity while it was active and doing something, only when I set it down for several minutes and then wake it up.
Secondly the youtube app has locked up my tablet requiring a reboot several times. Sometimes this happens on the first video played, sometimes I can get up to 4 or 5 before the screen just goes black and all input is ignored. I would have left this info on the alpha release thread, but I can't post there yet and wanted to pass this info along. I'm having a great time fooling around with it, and so far these are the only issues I've noticed.
I haven't had the wi-fi isses that I've noticed. Only things I've ran into are those already being discussed in the dev forum - the near-brick experience and larger apps not installing.
In spite of almost bricking, I've still been using the alpha over the last couple days and am definitely loving the freedom and speed over stock. Can't wait to see how awesome it becomes with further development.
The wifi issue can be fixed by adjusting the settings. You just need to turn off wifi sleep. I think this is a long time cm7 bug and not unique to this build. I have reverted to stock for now so I can't guide you through it, but I am pretty sure it's an easy adjustment. (I couldn't go without hulu while in the middle of watching a series.)

Yep, you just go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> WiFi Settings then press the menu button. This brings up a small menu bar with two options. Tap "Advanced" and you can change your wifi sleep policy there.

I believe the brick issue is in both the internal and SD release. Be sure to stay away from that SD card format button.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the misconception that it's the SD-Card version causing the problem, unless it's just confusion because the problem was cause by an SDCard Format....I think the issue occurs in either, and I know for sure the internal is succeptible to it, because mine is internal and I was an early-bricker.
Ok, my fault for not being clear I guess. I have no conceivable reason to format an sd-card from within the cm7 alpha release so I have continued using it. Turning wifi to always on seems to have fixed my wifi issues, with a negative impact on battery life.
Youtube is still crashing my NT with regularity but that probably has something to do with the generally bad video performance.

Yeah, Celtic and Gonce are working on fixing the video drivers. Right now they're a bit iffy.
-Unable to install some .apks and some apps from the market.
-Color is weird in some games (like blue instead of green)
-B&N Nook app not syncing or not working at all.
I have not used Netflix on it yet so I'm not sure of the quality for that or youtube. I have no need to wipe SD card so will continue to explore any bugs.

CM7 beta bug report
Hello, I can't post to the development forum yet, but I thought the devs working on the next CM7 release for the NT should know about a potential bug. Also, I've only began using an android device about a month ago, so please forgive any noobish remarks. If after reading this, someone thinks it's important for the upcoming CM7 build release, please let someone on the development team know. Thanks.
I've been using an internal install of the beta build since it was released yesterday morning.
Everything has been working, very well, and I haven't been attempting to format sd cards from the device.
I've had one crash of ADW launcher when trying to add a playlist through the music player widget. I had a minor wifi hiccup that required toggling the wifi on and off to resolve. And a crash of the notification bar, when I attempted to click on an email notification message, which resolved by itself, seconds later.
The bug I'm most concerned about happened just about an hour ago. I noticed the battery getting low, so i plugged it in, powered on. It started charging, so i left it alone, a little while later, I looked at it, and the "n" on the charger had changed from orange to green, indicating a full charge. I awoke the nook from sleep to find that it was no longer charging, but that the battery was only about half charged. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, but the status light was orange for only a second, before changing back to green, and no more charging.
I powered it off, and plugged it it (which of course made it turn back on /facepalm), but then powered it down through the power console as soon as CM7 booted. I has been powered off, and as far as i can tell charging normally, as indicated by the orange status of the charger's indicator. I intend to leave it powered off, and charging, until such time as the charging indicator turns green.
There may be some information here that is valuable to the Developers and you have attempted to articulate everything well.
However, is there some reason you chose to create a new thread instead of posting your issue In This One?
Perhaps the moderators can combine these threads but I'm sure the developers are more apt to look in one thread then trying to chase down multiple ones.
Good luck with your issues.
Aw crud. Totally didn't see that thread. If a mod could please combine, it would be appreciated.
Maybe the bug thread should be stickied?

I've been having crashing/force closes trying to stream video from sites like youtube.....but with a more mature content....if you know what I mean.
If I'm being too obscure....basically I can't stream porn onto it. Which, imo, is a device-killing bug!
(not really)
On the plus side, it seems like it charges pretty well through a USB connection now, where, if I'm not mistaken, it would not do so on stock. Although I only had stock for like 3 hours before zerging it, so I can't compare it very well....
I was also sitting up waiting on the release of this and have been running it every since then. the only real bugs I have seen is the unable to install alot of apps from the market as it gives the cant write to sdcard which is documented in the dev forums. my wireless does not seem to drain my battery much at all but the device itself never wanted to go into sleep mode unless I forced it into sleep. I changed the screen timeout and changed it right back and the issue resolved itself. Wireless does commonly go from full signal to 2 bars though but even when at 2 bars the connection seems fine and no loss of speed. as far as apps over 20 meg. the only ones I tried I had the apk file stored on my sd card and installed from there and they all installed just fine.
the device seems way more responsive now and I am absolutely loving it although i do miss the nook reader app itself and the one I downloaded from the market gives ab internal error : exception executing the command when I try and sign in Cant wait for the next release alpha or beta I would love to test it.

Go to the "Nook" folder on your sd card, then delete it. then try to sign in on the nook reader. This has worked for others who now have the nook app up and running on cm7

Mostly I'm seeing the occasional app not installing. Every time it has been because "sdcard is not mounted". Even though it obviously it mounted. Aldiko reader is my current villain in this regard. No Wireless problems, but I changed the advanced settings right away. Interface is nice and fast.
Does anyone have any problems with installing games like need for speed

I have just installed CM9 on my NT for the second time after having to reset because of some hardware issues that required a return to the store. I had no problems with the first install and everything ran smooth for quite some time. Now, though, I am experiencing random reboots and SD card mounting issues. Can anyone provide any insight? Thank you guys ahead of time.
Long Live XDA
I installed CM9 alpha 0.03 and the wifi will not stay connected. The routers that worked perfectly with CM7 will not work with CM9, anyone else had/having trouble with wifi when using CM9?
Yes!! I had the same issue when I loaded it last night. went back to cm7 till the 3.0 kernal comes out.
Really, I haven't had this problem at all. Try turning the router. Also what wifi security type is it?
Sent from my Team A CM9 Alpha 0.03 Nook Tablet
I rebooted the NT a couple times and so far (2 hours) the wifi is working as it should. I have been using this at work on two wireless routers and I'll be trying it at home soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed, I hope the wifi problem was temporary. I'm loving CM9 otherwise.
Edit: The wifi security is WPA2.
One little update on my wifi problem. The wifi was working perfectly at work and at home until I ran an app that needed the sd card mounted (I figured it was mounted at boot but it wasn't) so I removed/replaced the sd card and bam, the wifi stopped working. I repeated this 5 times, same result every time, so I need to find out what is causing this problem.
I'm having the same problem. My wifi drops out when I run certain apps. For me, it's dropped out when running Gmail or any mail app, and BBC World News app so far.
This was not a problem at all until I changed my email passwords. Probably a coincidence but it happened at the exact same time.
I'd just like to give an update to say that this randomly stopped happening as randomly as it started. I've no idea what the cause is.

I am also having a problem. I am running CM9 externally and my wifi was working great until one day it just would not turn on. I tried rebooting it to no avail. Wifi still works in CM7 and stock ROM. Anybody have an idea to fix it? Thanks.
External is susceptible to getting corrupted. I would backup by TiB folder first... then I would just reformat the card ( sdformatter 3.1 ) and re make it. Hey, try Jelly Bean !

Well I cleared data and reflashed. Everything is working again. Just curious, I thought the JB build for NT was still beta? And just to got totally noob on you, how would I flash it to a sdcard partition? Thanks for the help.

My bad. Jelly Bean is not 'external sd card' ready. Those guys are super smart, so maybe, hopefully, it will be soon.

I wonder if Succulent is working on it also ?
Hello guys,
To get right to it, everything was fine when I was on MIUI 2.5.18 but when I updated to 2.6.1 the issue started happening. I will try to explain the issue to the best of my ability.
About 4-5 times a day my phone will just out of no where become ungodly slow as in it takes the phone ~45 seconds to recognize a touch on the screen or push of a button. So when this starts I have to reboot, and normally I have to Hard Reboot (hold power till GT-i9100 screen appears). I was running Neak at the time so I switched to Siyah and it as still an issue, I also updated to 2.6.8 but that did not help either. Last night, I changed to AOKP thinking it may be a ROM issue and even on the stock Kernel I still have the issue...
At this point I believe it may be a phone issue. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you fix it if so? Should I attempt a flash back to Stock and run that for a while and see how it goes?
I will try and get a video today if my room mate comes home.
Thanks in advance!

I had the random slowdown issues with NEAK - but never had that on CM9 or Siyah kernels and not on ktoonsez's MIUI kernel as well.
Basic stuff - did you do a complete wipe - cache, dalvik cache, format /system and ran Jivy's kernel cleaning script just to be sure?
Does it happen during a certain activity e.g. opening a certain app or anything else? Do you have any memory management apps installed?
May need to try the cleaner script but yes complete wipe with both cache's and system when I went to AOKP
and no its totally random just when ever it feels like it. As far as memory management I went through the agonizing long steps when it was slow and only about 500mb of memory was being used and only on occasion does it go over 600mb
What are some good memory management programs?
There are so many variables I would say flash back to.stock completely, (wipe first obviously) then see if problem persists. If it does then u know its a hardware issue.

i had a similiar problem on my captivate after installing a eurokrank rom. i found that if u have the govenor set to powersaver it made my phone really slow/ laggy. once i changed it to ondemand or performance it picked right back up. maybe tinker with that and see if it maybe clears it up a bit
Cleaner script seemed to work! Never thought I would ever have to use it but oh well.
It has not happened all weekend, so we will see how it goes the rest of the week!
Thanks again guys!!!
HI Everybody,
I installed the AOKP CM10 ROM from this forum and the install went great. Thanks for that. Things were going along well but then it seems to have unmount the SD card. The card is mounted after a fresh reboot but then it is unmounted (and can't be remounted as far as I can tell) when the tablet goes to sleep (screen blank). The odd thing is that Root Explorer won't show the files but it has the correct usage of the card listed. It says the card is empty. If I reboot again, it's there and can be used. If it goes to sleep again the card is unmounted or put into the funky state. It's very odd.
I had CM7 (also from this forum) running on it previously and it did not have this issue. It had the WIFI problem when it when to sleep but the SD card was rock solid.
Any ideas about what I can do? The version of the ROM is cm10-jb-aokp acclaim unofficial 0.01 and I did upgrade CWM to the 6.0.1.5 version before starting the install.
Thanks in advance for the help.

try moving all ur apps that depend on the sd card to the tablet itself and that should solve your problems...
Thanks, I thought about that. I'm just wondering if it's a problem with CM10 or something else. I think I only have one app that is currently using the SD card. I'll move it and I'm pretty sure my issue will be worked around. Would be nice to have this fixed though. I put movies on the SD card to watch them on plane flights. If it's not really working it makes it hard to do that.
Thanks again.

The SD card unmounting is a known bug in all the CM10 ROMs, and seems to be linked to WiFi waking and sleeping. The most common work-around is to manually turn off WiFi before your tablet goes to sleep. Alternatively, you can use an app like AutomateIt or Tasker to have WiFi turn off when the screen turns off. Since installing AutomateIt and configuring it to turn off WiFi when the screen turns off, I haven't had a problem with the SD card unmounting (on either the AOKP ROM or Demetris' CherryPick ROM).

Thanks for that. However I have some new information. I was waiting to see if this turned out to be stable and it does seem to be working. So on the original work-around to move any apps from the SD card to the internal memory I had only one app, Aldiko reader. The odd thing was that even installing it the first time it wanted to install onto the SD card. There was no way to force the install to the internal storage. Anyway, once I moved the app everything started working. It's been 2 days now that the SD card has stayed mounted. Also, the WIFI has been working great moving between my home network and the work network. So I'm not sure what is going on with the Aldiko reader but it somehow was causing the SD card to unmount when the tablet went to sleep. Very odd.
Thanks for all the help. Everything is working and it's work great! I moved the launcher over to the Nova launcher today as I wanted more home sceens (not that I really needed them just to see if that would work and it does). I couldn't get the default CM10 launcher to do that, at least I couldn't find a configuration option to allow that.

What you saw with Aldiko was intentional on the dev's behalf -- Aldiko is configured to install to external storage if it's available, and to store your library on external storage as well. You need to manually move it to internal storage.
The SD card unmounting bug is not limited to Aldiko, though it would seem that way if Aldiko was the only app you had installed in external storage. If you install anything onto your SD card in the future, you'll continue to see this bug... Many folks here have been able to turn the bug on and off by changing the Wi-Fi settings, which is why the recommended work around is to use AutomateIt to turn Wi-Fi on and off with the Screen.
