Stupid Newbie question - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I am currently running CM7 installed from SD card. (Thanks CelticWebSolutions, and others) Works great, but occasionally I need to reboot the tablet, either because something crashes, or I just turn it off when I know I'm not going to use it for a while, or (most often) when my 3-year-old holds down the power button just to see what will happen. When I reboot, I have to have the USB cable plugged in, or it defaults to the stock Barnes & Noble software. This is not really a problem, but...
I realize I have no use, ever, for the stock software.
If I install the internal CM7 (or CM9 or any other ROM, for that matter) will it completely overwrite the stock software? What I would like, in a perfect world, is a Nexus 7 with an SD card. Failing this, I'd prefer that my Nook never even knew it had ever been a Nook. I would like an experience as close to stock Android as possible (any version, I don't care). I would like to be able to hand the tablet to my 3-year-old to play with without him constantly rebooting back into B&N.
I appreciate any help or advise. Please bear in mind, though, that I'm still kind of new at this whole Android thing. I may not be a complete idiot, but it might be best if you assume that I am...
Thanks in advance!!!

P.S. Today, for the first time, NetFlix has stopped working. When I try to start NetFlix, it instantly goes to a black screen, pauses for several seconds, and boots back into the stock B&N software.
However, if I start NetFlix from the stock B&N software, it works just fine (though it is an older version of the NF app).
Curiouser and curiouser...

Yes it will override, you need to flash CM7 from CWM recovery. Then format your sdcard with sdformatter (recommended)

In CM7 you need an custom version of Netflix and don't update it, at list that was an use with the alpha final build I haven't tested with the latest beta build but If you need the Netflix ans hulu apps for CM7 let me know

Thanks, Man!
I probably did update NetFlix. It was working just fine, so I'll go ahead and install CM7 internally, as recommended. I'll let you know if I have any trouble.

Why doesn't anyone use CM7 for G-Tab?

Are the mods of CM7 preferred over straight CM7? Also, just to get HW accel, should one stick with Vegan 5.1?
Just ordered my G Tab from Amazon and wondering what ROM I should jump to.
Thanks for your time.
Each ROM has it's fans but I've been running VEGAn 5.1.1 since it was posted and for me and my needs from a tablet it's rock solid without a bunch of force closes or other issues like I've read other people report about other roms or tweaks (like using different kernels) they've made to them after they've flashed a flavor of rom.
I use my gTAB for games, reading books/magazines/comics, accessing my work computers, watching ripped videos, watching flash videos on sites like HULU (needs hacked Flash) or Fox Television (doesn't need hacked Flash). And I've had access to the Market with almost every app I've needed or wanted show up without any tweaks.
In the end it's really up to the user and what the user wants out of their tablet.
I moved to the Vegan GB ROM mainly because, for some reason, Flash kept malfunctioning on any of the 2.2 ROMs I used. I miss watching videos, but hopefully a GB driver is forthcoming.
On the 2.2 side, I preferred Calkulin's ROM (with pershoot's Froyo kernel) because it was fast, and I also thought it was more tablet-oriented.
My advice is, while your tab is still new and you don't have it as customized as you will in the future, flash every ROM available and take them for a test spin. I'd run Calkulin's Format All zip before every ROM install just to be safe.

Considering how easy it is to do, I second this. It's pretty much what I did before settling on VEGAn 5.11, although I think I may try VEGAn Ginger again.
I am running CM7 on the Gtab without any issues. I chose CM7 rom since I am familiar with it because I am using that on my DInc.
Yeah I was considering VEGAn Ginger too. Let's see how much free time I have this weekend.
I am running cm7 on mine....since all the other versions are based off cm7 anyway. Cyanogenmod does an update and pushes it out...I don't have to wait for the others to update their source base from cm and merge in their rom edits.

Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread:
if you don't mind configuring it alot. I've found it to be faster than any of the Tnts and Vegans. It's supposed to be as close to Google's code as possible. I've also found it to have the most complete market out of all the other roms!
where can one download said hacked flash?

where can i get the hacked flash? i downloaded a 10.1 hacked from a link, but then hulu said i needed a newer flash,
I use CM7 with Pershoot's kernel and VTL Launcher. I've found it quite nice since they integrated in the tablet tweaks. I don't watch videos on it, though, so I haven't had to worry about hardware acceleration. Though, apparently, the last stable release and nightly gives some NVidia tuning, though not full hardware acceleration like Froyo, from what I gather.

I was on CM7... switched to VEGANginger to get screenshots, which still don't work on CM7. When they get screenshots working over there, I may go back
I'm running Corwins CM7 build as it has the ad hoc script built in. I would like to use the original build of CM7 but I'm having trouble with getting it to ad hoc, any advice on how to add that functionality?

You can get the hacked libflashplayer.so file for flash 10.2 here. You need to install the standard flash 10.2 first, though. It's available on the market, but you can also get it here if it doesn't show up in the market for you. I've been running it on CM 7.0.2 and it works great; just make sure to set your browser to desktop (in stock browser, Menu>Settings>Select User Agent; I set mine to linux desktop) and configure the run at boot file transfer script (instructions are in the post).

I have been running CM7 on my gTab since day 1. Very happy with it!
Download the attached zip to mount the internal SD card as /sdcard instead of /emmc if you wish.
You can also Google "CM7GBMod3.zip" to remove all unnecessary CM7 apps to give you a cleaner feel.

Cyanogen v. Vegan-Tab

Other than the Netflix capability, are there other functional differences between the two ROMs? I've been running Vegan-Tab since receiving my GTablet but being a tinkerer (though, not too adventurous), I was thinking about flashing a new ROM.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I'd like to add to your question if I could, as I've been feeling the same. If I opt for Cyanogen, if I am currently running Vegan 5.1.1, can I use the 'recovery method' to load it on from Vegan (would want the nightlies), or just use CWM? Basically, just wondering if I need to resort back to stock or anything.
You can load it from cwm just like any 1.1 rom.
I really like CM7. Its been really stable for me. Its worth a flash in my opinion.
CM7 runs Android 2.3.3 (soon to be 2.3.4) and Vegan runs Android 2.2. That in a big difference. The file structure for CM7 is a little funky at times also. I prefer Vegan 5.1.1 over CM7 but that's just my opinion. Both firmwares are made by very talented developers.
I just answered to another post in the general section about this very thing...
I have two gTabs (one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and one running CynogenMod 7.0.3). The VEGAn 5.1.1 gTab takes about 30 to 45 seconds to boot up when powered on, the CynogenMod 7.0.3 takes about 2 minutes to boot up when powered on.
VEGAn 5.1.1 is really fast. That and if you install and use the VTL Launcher it makes the gTAB a pretty nice experience. It doesn't let me watch movies via the Netflix app but I can watch any of my ripped dvd movie files (xvid-avi) without any issues with the stock video player.
CyanogenMod 7.0.3 is also fast (once it finally boots up) and it has location tracking via wi-fi that is really accurate and also let's you install and run and stream movies via the Netflix app if you have a Netflix account without problems (if you install the Netflix apk with the device check disabled). But I have yet to play a single movie file from one of my ripped dvds on it even using RockPlayer or Mobo Player. Everytime I try and open one of the xvid-avi movies the app starts like its going to play the movie but then within a second it shuts down without any errors or messages.
So, they both have use to me today but if somebody can get Netflix to stream movies on VEGAn I will probably leave CyanogenMod.
Anyway, you should be able to flash either roms via ClockworkMod version .08 (bekit) on your gTab without issues since that is what I've been doing since I've bought these gTabs back in November of last year. Just remember to clear data/cache/davik cache for best results.
Good luck.
Well, there's Vegan Ginger as well. That's 2.3.3, and it was based on CM7. It has lots of nice little modifications (such as the void.fstab change already incorporated so the internal memory stays as /sdcard instead of /emmc) already incorporated, but there hasn't been a lot of news from GoJimi since RC1 was released. CM7 has advanced, including resolving most issues on the Gtab.
Also, since it's being updated constantly (via the nightlies), I get the sense that all of the issues will be straightened out, and I have some sense of what to expect in each update. It's for that reason more than anything that I switched to CM7 a while back. I'm running the most recent nightly.
The big issues with CM7 are currently two-fold:
1. Void.fstab mounts the internal memory as /emmc, which is what Google wants. However, applications want to use /sdcard, so you'll want to flash the void.fstab fix that you can find by searching on these forums.
2. Boot times. I'm not sure what the issue is, but after you install quite a few apps, especially if you install them via a non-Market source, the boot time increases. It takes about 75 seconds for my tablet to boot; my phone boots in about 20. Once it's booted, though, it works well, so typically I only reboot it once a week or so.

VeganTab 5 crashed - Time to upgrade?

Hello - I've been using Vegan Tab 5 since I got my gtablet last Christmas. It has been pretty nice except that the power/screen button always glitches, and every so often corrupts the profile and I have to wipe all my user data and start fresh.
I have the market, flash/hulu, and the camera working. So my question is, since I just had to wipe it again and start over, what is/is there a current, most stable installation I can use that will have the same features - market, wifi, flash/hulu, camera, and does not crash and force a wipe from the damn power button?
Gingerbread? Honeycomb? Flashback? Beasty/Clemsyn Ultimate Froyo?
If there are awesome new features in newer ROMs that don't have a working camera (I think I read something about that in Honeycomb) let me know. My daughter will be disappointed but thats ok
Thanks

You might consider moving to a 1.2Bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392761
Try a HC based ROM FB 10.3. It's pretty slick.
If you prefer a FROYO base, Beasty/clem Ultimate is stable also..ans very fast
to make your current problem go away, you need to back up your apps/tab and NVflash and reinstall your current ROM

While I do agree Flashback ROM is very pretty, I've had zero luck with Flashback ROM concerning a fully working and stable Flash Player. I watch a lot of streaming videos on my gTab on Hulu, CBS, FOX, Amazon Prime, etc... and I've tried with Flashback 10.1 and 10.3 and neither of them would let me watch videos via Flash Player.
So, after trying VEGAn 5.1.1, CyanogenMod 7.0.1, VEGAn Ginger, Mountain Laurel 3.1.0, and Flashback 10.1/10.3 I've come back to VEGAn 5.1.1 because it's the most stable and fastest for me (with pershoot's latest FroYo kernel).
I've also used VEGAn 5.1.1 off and on for the better part of a year but haven't had the issues the OP is reporting where my profile gets corrupt forcing a wipe/restore. I guess I've been lucky.

From my experience, funny things happening is usually due to corruption data.
NVflash/wipe usually restore most functions.
I don't use flash much, so I didn't care much about streaming.
I'd just tried out Beasty/Clem Ultimate...It is very fast and stable as well...
Thanks for the advice. Flash is pretty important for me, so it sounds like I'm using the right build for my needs.
I wish i didn't have issues with the power button, but wiping/flashing isn't the end of the world. It doesn't happen very often, but occasionally when the screen sleeps, the button won't bring it back up. After few tries the tab reboots and then sometimes i end up with a corrupt profile and it wont startup.
I'll learn to live with it.
Thanks again

I had this problem as well. I read a post on this site to use a program on the Market Place called Wifi lock or Wifi keep alive, seems to work for me. The problem is when the Wifi goes to sleep.
As for the new ROM I have just upgraded to Vegan Tab 7.1 files can be found here

Do not upgrade Google Maps this will cause force close for maps you need to stay on an older version I’m using 5.5.0.

What should I do with my Nook?

So I rooted the Nook as soon as it came out a while ago. It started getting screwy recently. Wi-fi stops working. Random apps crash. I want to start over. What would you guys say is the best and stable route to go? I have the 16gb model and an sd card.
Stock 1.4.2 - Starting over with new partitions

I just wiped both of my 16g nooks last night, as I was wanting to repartion the internal card, and after looking over many many many posts, this is what I ended up trying. I can not explain how easy this was. Both are working great, albeit, stock 1.4.2 - Now, off to Root..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
I meant more along the lines of which ROM seems to be the best route right now.
If you're still rooted, install indirect's app, flash clockworkmod recovery and flash cm9.
Unless you want to use your nook for high end games or netflix, cm9 is the way to go. Its pure sexy android tablet edition.
Make sure to make a backup in recovery before doing anything.
I guess I'm gonna give CM9 a go. I was just hesitant because its still in Alpha. Will the nook apps still work? Library....etc....
No, apps from the Nook OS, afaik, do not play well with other roms. You could try to back them up with titanium backup and see how it goes, but I don't think it'll go well.
FWIW, there is a B&N android app you could get instead.
That B&N app works with CM9?
The one from the play store does, yes.
Cool......Gonna give it a try then.
I am running cm7 internally and i backed up my games and apps that i downloaded from bn when i was on stock and they all work on my cm7. Im not sure if they would work on ics, but they do work on cm7. Also, the bn app from the android market works really well, as long as you aren't trying to read any of the interactive nook books.
Sent from my Team-B CM7 Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
Just wanted to let you know that I installed cm9 to see if the apps work and they do. I've tried all of the apps that I purchased from the bn appstore, back when I was on stock, and they all work wonderfully. So, no need to worry about that being an issue. By the way, the new cm9 release seems to be a whole lot more stable, so give it a try.
Sent from my Team-B CM7 Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
Oh yeah apps from the B&N app store should work when backed up and restored. The only reason they wouldn't if it is a paid app and the app developer has some sort of license check thrown in that checks to see if you paid for it. They could also make it so apps are tied tightly to the store; with amazon app store apps, you need the amazon app store installed for the apps to work (at least for the paid ones, in my experience) . It seems this isn't the case for B&N though.
System apps though from the stock B&N OS will probably not play well with an aosp rom. I imagine its similiar to trying to get something like HTC sense to work in aosp roms.

So I'm looking to go into CM7 or CM9...not sure yet. The instruction state that this will wipe all stock data. I was just wondering if its permanent. Will I be able to go back to stock 1.4.2 or whatever I want later on?

You can go back to stock/factory fresh whenever you want. Make sure you do backups - easier to to return to your current state.
In case you are worried that your paid apps won't work, all of mine do. I'm using quickoffice pro and office suite from bn as well as all.my games, angry birds and such. There may be some that won't work, but all ones I paid for still work with both custom roms.
Hope this helps

CM10.1 Official ROM review

The CyanogenMod team has recently created CM10.1 nightlies for the Nook Tablet. Let's take a look at it.
At first sight it looks pretty good, and looks very clean (ditto). There is no gapps preinstalled (also ditto), so you need to flash the latest gapps ROM. This is official CM10.1, so nothing has been removed. After flashing gapps, you have to go through a brief setup process, and you're ready to go. This is a nightly build, but if reflashing a ROM every single day and losing all of your data is what disturbs you, think again; CM10/10.1 has a built-in updater tool, which is available in Settings<About tablet<CyanogenMod updates. I flashed this ROM yesterday, and today there was a new nightly (ditto), and I went into the updater, flashed the new update, and it simply was like an android upgrade when it booted after flashing the ROM from the tool. NOTE: To use the tool, you need CWM/TWRP. This does not work with other recoveries. For me, I don't even know why they call this ROM nightly. It is running perfectly stable for me. If you are on unofficial CM10, and want 4.2, but are disturbed by the alpha CM10.1s, you might want to check this out because for me, under my terms, it should at least be deemed RC. Already. If you are running another kind of CM10.1 (unofficial), you might also want to check this out because it is official, after all. If you are already running some other kind of 4.2 which you are happy with (like PA or PAC-man), you may or may not want to check this out. The new interface does have the pie launcher, due to CMs recent decision to include it, so if you are running PA simply for that, you might want to check this out.
UPDATE: Looks like the CM team has build a new RC2 at this point (which I am running of course). It eliminates basically all of the bugs I described earlier, and is much more stable than other 4.2.2 ROMs I have looked at (I have not looked at Xylon, Liquid, Carbon, or Slim however) (I have looked at PAC and Ubuntu) (Tried to flash Slim once but failed something about /tmp/sideload.zip, I reset to factory). The only problem I have had with it is that initially the Play Store didn't work (same with 20130518 nightly). I think it was the fact that I dirty reflash ROM updates. Wiping fixed it. Also, I occasionally see freezes or delays. But still, more stable than others, and I am in high anticipation for stable
Recommendations: If you are on anything, check this ROM out. Flash it. Just flash it already. It's awesome. I recommend this ROM over anything xD.
The biggest problem is battery drain too fast. Because Nook Tablet is not compatible with standard Android hardware and it's eBook Reader, I always wish it's better battery life for using every day as eReader Plus with fully Android features

Have you tried a different clock app? Or, changed governor settings? What happens if you use setcpu (app from play store) and forced min to say 200. What make you think it's a deep sleep issue? Are you using better battery stats app to see what's happening?
Or better yet, what have/haven't you tried?

Please forgive me, but I have to ask before it drives me nut;What are you "ditto"-ing? Is this in reply to something else that I've missed? Sorry to ask, but I find myself completely fixated on those "dittos". Yeah, crazy, (and osessive!) I know, but I'd hate to lose out on some vital info around the beloved NT! :laugh:

This ROM MAY NOT have the problem of WIFI radio staying ON during sleep.
My particular NT has problems using CPUtuner ( a way to trigger to turn off WIFI when the screen goes out, or if the NT goes to sleep): CPUTuner disables the radio, but leaves WIFI set as ON, like the built-in wifi sleep management.
I now use AutomateIT, which turns WIFI off, rather than turning off the radio. This works well for me. So then deep sleep works.
The problem with this, as I just got reminded, is that anything downloading (with the browser, or like magazines in Zinio... STOP or FAIL when the screen goes out.)
I just put on 041613 nightly, and the Nook disconnects from the AP when it sleeps.
I'll have to see about power usage, but it looks good. (nope, lost 10-12% overnight.... back to turning WIFI off with a service)
This ROM also seems to default to landscape. Mine has 0 degree as Landscape. 'Power widget' auto-orientation off/on is not working for me.
I had to run Fix Permissions and/or cache format in CWM 6.0.3 (what I already had loaded. I did not load the recovery in the first post. I don't know what version it is) to fix a mediascanner error at boot with this ROM.
Zinio won't connect to it's servers with this ROM.
WPA2 connections sometimes fail and need retries to get connected.
The good is that this ROM feels great, so I'm sticking with it. Most responsive I've used so far (although 'bout the same as 2/6 AOSP ROM).
Started with CM7, then updated to demetris_I's CM10 build (huge thanks for a great product) then did the CM Update from my table this morning 04/19 nightly and it is is smooth and fast. Huge props to CM and everyone that made this a possibility.
I have a Pattern Lock set and when I either re-boot or power on, the lock screen get's skipped and it launches directly to the home screen with a Clock has stopped error. But if I then launch a program and come back to the home screen it locks and I have to enter my pattern. Any body else seeing this?
Is there a way to enable larger multitasking images like in the sgt7 ROMs? And tablet ui only in landscape?

I have, honestly. I'm seeing problems now. However, I'm still satisfied, especially because I use WidgetLocker anyway, but I used to use pattern lock and had the same problem. Hopefully fixed by M4 or M5 or something.

Many thanks. Actually installed a newer nightly, I think 4/24 directly via EMMC clearing cache/factory reset and it fixed the issue

Please forgive me, but I have to ask before it drives me nut;What are you "ditto"-ing? Is this in reply to something else that I've missed? Sorry to ask, but I find myself completely fixated on those "dittos". Yeah, crazy, (and osessive!) I know, but I'd hate to lose out on some vital info around the beloved NT! :laugh:

I mean, it's stock CM. And basically no ROM has gapps.

My Nook Tablet 16GB is still on it's way so I haven't been able to do any rooting and flashing, just reading. Question, does CM 10.1 have microphone support so we can Skype and use Google Now?

All good. Just tested using my nook, which has 4/30 nightly loaded as of this morning and voice search works well as does Skype for voice, of course no video, since Nook doesn't have a camera
Just installed the Nook on Fire Showtime kernel on top of the official CM 10.1 ROM. It is AWESOME!!!

Ditto. I am running RC2 with 3.2 and loving it. I really should update Cm, but hate the pain.

Moving up to the official CM 10.1 wasn't painful at all. In fact, it was probably the most pain-free experience I've had with my NT
