The NookieDevs are pleased to announce the CyanogenMod 10.1.3.2 stable release for the Nook Color!
As the "stable" label suggests, all major features of the hardware work and the release should be suitable for day-to-day use on your Nook Color. As the "stable" label also suggests, updates (if any) will be primarily to fix bugs -- new features and big changes should not be expected.
Highlights: (mostly not news if you've been keeping up with CM10/10.1/10.2 nightlies)
Linux kernel 3.0.8, plus hardware support from TI OmapZoom's android-omap3-3.0 branch and board support forward-ported from BN kernel releases.
All of the features of CyanogenMod 10.1, based on Android 4.2.2.
Full 2D and 3D graphics acceleration using the GPU.
Unofficial Bluetooth support, including support for a wider variety of BT peripherals than in previous releases. (The Nook Color lacks a proper Bluetooth antenna, so range will be somewhat limited.)
10.1.3: significantly improved graphics performance and improved battery life over previous CM10.1 releases.
10.1.3: various bug fixes, including fixes for Bluetooth tethering, Adobe Flash Player, and a nasty hardware bug affecting the internal storage of some Nook Colors.
10.1.3.1: fix for a security bug reported upstream which potentially allows an attacker to obtain local root (see the dev thread for details). Thanks to Nico Golde and Fabian Yamaguchi for reporting, Ivaylo Dimitrov and Pavel Machek for working on a fix, and dhiru1602 for reporting a bug in that fix.
10.1.3.2: fix crash when opening "About tablet" in Settings. Thanks to CM's Ricardo Cerqueira for the fix and the rebuild.
Known issues:
Current releases of Netflix do not work with CM10.1 -- version 1.8.1 is the last version known to work. If you want/need a newer release of Netflix, look into the Xposed mod, which provides a workaround for Netflix -- pastordl has done a nice writeup of the process here.
The CyanogenMod Updater app may crash when checking for new updates. Deleting /sdcard/cmupdater and/or clearing the app's data may help.

Build instructions (discussion of build issues belongs in the development thread)
This release is the product of much effort by many people over a considerable period: many thanks to fattire, keyodi, eyeballer, krylon360, dalingrin, verygreen, iomonster, nemith, cicadaman, deeper-blue, thedude, mad-murdock, j4mm3r, unforgiven512, scepterr, rebellos, ryands, kmobs, tonsofquestions, hashcode, arcee, hacdan, drmarble, mateor, dhiru1602 and many more. Thanks are also due to the CyanogenMod project, upon which we are building, and Texas Instruments, which provides excellent support for its embedded platforms to the open-source hacking community. (TI's exit from the consumer electronics SOC market is a loss for all of us.)

As of 2013/10/09, the latest release for CM10.1 is 20130812, but please check the linked page for updates.
Please make sure that you have the correct Google Apps flashed before reporting problems involving the Google Apps (Play Store, Google Keyboard, etc.).
Other CyanogenMod builds
This is the thread for CM10.1 stable releases. There are other official CyanogenMod builds for Nook Color available:
CM11 nightly builds -- these experimental builds, based on Android 4.4, contain the latest changes to CyanogenMod and to hardware support for the Nook Color. As the name suggests, new builds are made and posted (roughly) every day; these builds are fully automatic, with no testing done before posting.
CM10.2 stable releases -- while the state of the Nook Color-specific hardware support should be nearly identical to that of CM10.1, you may find this Android 4.3-based release more (or less!) stable than this Android 4.2-based one.
Archived nightly builds for CM10.2, CM10.1, and CM10. You may find the last CM10 nightly (20130421) faster than the later releases, particularly during playback of HD 720p video.
Please check that your questions are in the appropriate thread. (If you're interested, there's lots of past discussion in those threads, as well as the development thread.)
Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting
The soft keyboard keeps crashing!
The Play Store is acting up!
Did you flash the correct Google Apps?
What happened to the "Developer options" and "Performance" screens in Settings?
They're hidden by default now in CM10.1 and later. To show them, go into "About tablet" and tap the build number (for CM10.1 stable releases, JDQ39) seven times.
How do I get the Honeycomb/ICS tablet UI?
You want to use the Auto-Patcher to modify your ROM for the tablet UI. (Don't forget to thank Caldair for maintaining the Tablet UI mod, and mateorod and the rest of the Auto-Patcher developers for building that tool.)
I'm having a problem with my Nook Color running CM10.1.
That's not a question
Okay, I'm having a problem with my Nook Color running CM10.1 -- is there something I can do to troubleshoot?
Glad you asked! Please check the following:
Does the problem occur with a clean install of CM10.1? This means wiping /data and not restoring a Nandroid backup afterwards. Don't restore system apps and/or their data in Titanium Backup either (user apps/data are okay).
Are you overclocking? If so, does the problem occur when you set the maximum clock speed to 1000 MHz or below? To be clear, we are not interested at this point in bug reports of any kind that happen if you have the maximum CPU speed set above 1000 MHz. If you're experiencing system crashes or "sleep of death" (SOD), you may also wish to try capping the CPU clock speed to 800 MHz (but if this helps, please report your problem here and fill out the hardware survey).
Do you have any patches, custom kernels, or other tweaks applied? If you do, does the problem occur without those applied? (We're not necessarily going to ignore bug reports from patched or tweaked systems outright, but it can make our job harder, and we do need to know what changes you have applied to judge whether or not the change might be relevant to your problem.)
I'm having no luck with the suggestions above. What information should I include with my bug report?
When reporting a problem, please include the following information if at all possible:
Full description of the problem -- "it crashes" doesn't count. How do you trigger the problem (or does it occur by itself)? What exactly happens when the problem occurs? How often does it happen?
For problems with apps or specific pieces of the system software: we'll almost certainly ask for a logcat of the event, so you'll save everyone some time by including it.
For problems involving system freezes, crashes, or SOD: if you can connect to the tablet via adb while it's "unresponsive", please provide dmesg and logcat output from that time. If you cannot, try power-cycling it while it's still plugged into USB, and provide dmesg output from immediately after the reboot, plus the contents of /proc/last_kmsg if that file exists (let us know if it doesn't).
For unexpected reboots: provide the contents of /proc/last_kmsg from after the reboot.
Edit: Used these instructions for installing 10.1 on a SDCard.

Great thanks!

Congrats and thanks again Steven and the other NookieDevs, this is running very well, at least on my NC, somehow seems a little more responsive/smoother (especially when background apps/downloads are running - new WiFi tweak?) than the recent nightlies/RC's. Great job, but, there is a new nightly calling, or I've sort of been wanting to try Mateorod's AOSP, besides, my schedule is beginning to settle back down enough that I will probably try to increase my "Android Ninja" experience, so I probably won't be stable long. Keep up the great work, glad to hear that you will still be tweaking it.
Question, are your latest WiFi and/or Graphics tweaks merged yet?
NC crashing hard with clean CM10.1 install
Hi,
great to see CM10.1 on NC. I have just made a clean install on my Nook and generally impressed. Unfortunately my Nook started crashing hard, something that I never experienced before It seems to be correlated with Gallery application, I can reproduce crash only after I open Gallery and then return to home page. Here is what happens:
open Gallery, look at one or few pictures
go back to Home
wait a bit, one minute or so, maybe go to other app or settings
screen goes blank, navigation buttons and status bar are still visible but display area gets dark
no response to touch or nook button
after ~30 seconds Nook reboots
I managed to catch dmesg output right before reboot, attaching it here, there are two files in archive, first is dmesg output before I run gallery, second is dmesg right before it reboots. Logcat and /proc/last_kmsg are also in the archive. I could get more info if anybody wants to look at it and can tell me how to get it.
I ran CM7.2 on the same device for quite some time and had no troubles with that. CM10.1 install is from final, wiped both data and cache, no google apps installed yet, no other apps restored, virgin clean :angel: No overclocking, and no other settings changed, no patches.
Thanks,
Andy

I can confirm this - I have been experiencing this for a long time now but since nobody else mentioned it I thought it could be just me (although I was doing clean installs). So this problem really exists.
I cannot reproduce this, but I flash the Picassa compatible gallery app - gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed.zip - after GAPPS

Mmm, that's pretty spectacular -- the system basically runs out of memory and the kernel goes nuts killing things to try to keep the system alive. It looks like the 720p video codec is eating the memory, and I believe we tracked that one down to the same root cause as the Flash issues. Can you try a CM10.1 nightly from June 25 or later (EDIT: or flash the patch in the next post on top of your existing CM10.1 install) and see if the problem still happens? (That reminds me, I promised to respin the binary patch for CM10.1 stable ... I should really do that when I get a minute.)
Patch for 720p codec issues (Flash, video thumbnailing)
As promised, here's the patch fixing Flash, video thumbnailing in the Gallery app, and potentially other 720p video codec issues for the CM10.1 stable release series. (The previous one I posted works as well, but is missing a couple of other potentially useful bugfixes in libstagefright.)
Usage: flash the attached ZIP file over your CM10.1 build from recovery. CM10 users: do not flash this -- use the patch in this post instead. Note that if you're on the CM10.1 nightlies, this patch was merged and should be included in builds starting from June 25.

It is really a damn shame we got that merged just after 10.1 Final was sent to the servers.

I have tested both cm-10.1-20130627-NIGHTLY-encore.zip and final CM10.1 with your patch libstagefright-omxcodec-patch-for-cm-10.1.0-encore.zip, they both seems to be working OK, I could not make them crash in the same way as unpatched CM10.1 does :victory: Thanks a lot for the fix, much obliged!

CMUpdater cannot download new Nightly!!!
Battery went flat no indicator.
Wifi issues, network error! For Nothing!
Touch Screen still having issues. The left hand side and right hand side of the screen cannot response to any touches! (About 2 inches thick!)
I come to know that there is issues with Nook Color Touch screen.

CM10.1.2
A quick heads-up: CM10.1.2 was released last week (check the links in the first post), including important security fixes. (The Flash fix didn't go in and looks unlikely to go into the 10.1 stable series at this point -- you'll have to continue flashing the patch above for now.)

Thanks for that info steven676; so that patch will work for cm-10.1.2-encore stable?
What's the easiest way to tell if the patch is or isn't working on my NC?
Lastly, is it necessary or included with any of latests cm-10.1.2-encore nightlies?

Install Flash, enable plugins in the browser, then open Flash Player Settings -- if the bug is still present, the page will lock up and you'll eventually be prompted to kill the tab.

As noted in the post with the patch, the fix should be included in CM10.1 nightlies starting with the June 25 build.

Just registerd to say thank you for 5.0 android!
Only yours build is working awesome! NFC, camera, battery life is exelect! I'm very glad. One problem is that i can't put some widgets on desktop... it crashes and reappearing without my widget.
Why you didn't update your thread, and what is differences in your build(for exmpl. the 2th of December and the 9-th)?

I haven't gotten to the point with cm-12.0 where I'm comfortable "advertising" it yet. Once I get it building with linaro, and get init.d scripts and some other goodies working I'll do a new thread. As it stands, it's very much the same as brothaedhung's with some extra kernel kangs and some device tree tweaks.
As far as widgets go, I'm not sure as I haven't seen that issue. Could you describe the issue with some more detail, and get a logcat if possible?
Thanks for the kind words though

Oh, you won't believe I just disable "Don't keep activities" and it works now!!!:laugh:
The problem was when i tried to put Clock for expl. the launcher crashes and appearing again without my widget. Now, i've put my widgets and turn on "Don't keep activities". Perfect! I could not spot any problems, yet!!! Good luck with developing, and thanks again!

02/03/2015 - Sorry guys, I've been slacking off on updating this post. All current builds are using my KK kernel brought up for LP, with stock frequencies instead of low_cpuclocks. I'll be posting a new build later this morning. As far as I know, this is the only CM build still using mako sources

Noticed this over here after looking in the Canadian section (which has most certainly be dead for a while). Great to see you're still active on this. Just want to make sure before trying this that there's nothing else required to move from KK to LP (assuming not since its on a KK kernel still). Any particular recovery recommended and/or version? I'm on a Bell E973 using PAC 4.4.4-RC2, TWRP 2.6.3.1.
Edit: Decided to update recovery to 2.8.4 from brothaedhung after doing some lurking around. Flashed 02/03 and full stock PA gapps. Everything butter so far. Cheers!

I have the same issue in your latest CM12. Proximity and brightness don`t work at all. I use jb e970 modem. Don`t flash hybrid radio because I`m in Russia. Also there isn`t any frequence low than 300 Mhz...
And I try your build of CM11: 20141111. There are a lot of bugs:
1. In profiles doesn`t work ring mode "normal". It doesn`t swith to it after another modes (vibrate and mute).
2. Don`t work "Double tap to sleep"
3. In perfomance dont`t work setting minimal and maximum frequency - after rebooting they are turned to default.

"ap watchdog bark detected"
Help!
Since i flashed 12.1 rom, this message with green screen appears frequently!
5.1.1 CM12.1 Unofficial, Watchdog Kenel Panics (green screens)
long post, so if you want the meat of the story scroll down!
hi guys, i'm an avid user of the e970 and i found this marvelous forum to be one of the most useful resources ever. freegee, lgnpst for when i bricked my phone, cm11, cm12, solid geeb kernel, validus, and now cm12.1 unofficial; it's all there. i'm certainly enjoying the experience that this device paired with this community has to offer.
first i'd like to thank the developers, and i'm seriously appreciating the active development on 12.1. i just finished using validus and while it was a much more solid experience than the short-lived cm12, android 5.0 was still killing me in terms of battery life. 5.1 certainly fixed that up though.
i want to second a few observations that are being made, which are the green-screen happenings. i want to mention something in particular though:
when i first flashed 12.1 unofficial i didn't have the recommended gapps at the time, so i flashed the minimal gapps for 5.0 (just to get wheels rolling per se). sure enough, it was a crazy experience. com.google.<insert service name here> was crashing repeatedly, often causing loss of functionality or green-screens. in a day i'd get anywhere between 4 and 7 green-screens (this was for three days, i'm talking about the 4/21 release). i re-wiped and formatted /system and re-installed 4/21 cm12.1, along with the recommended gapps this time.
NOW i'm having far fewer crashes, far fewer slow-downs and stutters; overall a much more lean experience. i also want to especially thank the developer for one thing: THANK YOU, for giving me back HSPA+ speeds on my att jb radio. validus and cm12 for some reason wouldn't give me HSPA speeds, just slow HSPA speeds that would take forever to peak at 200, 250 K/s (averaging around 70 to 140 K/s). now i can enjoy speeds up to 900 K/s (i'll run a speed test when a more stable release comes out)
so, is it gapps or a kernel issue? newer gapps reduced a lot of problems (though that's a given). also i'd like to point out another error: wi-fi. the mac address keeps changing upon reboot, namely the last three hex values. the first three are always 00:11:22. this wouldn't bother a lot of everyday users, but my workplaces utilizes mac filtering (only way around it is to use the battery-intensive 3g option instead, and i have terrible 3g reception at work where i sit; OUTSIDE my office, i get great reception, but it's bloody hot here x.x)
in any event, if someone could help me out or give me some advice that'd be great.
to summarize:
5.0 gapps + cm12.1 = lots of watchdog events
5.1 gapps + cm12.1 = a lot LESS watchdog events, still happening though
wi-fi mac address gets randomly generated at reboot
phone doesn't get detected by the computer on usb unless you leave it plugged in and do a soft reboot (advanced reboot option; common in most cm12.x instances with default kernels; solid geeb was better, and cm11 was flawless pretty much)
using built-in kernel
att jb radio
clockworksmod touch recovery, the last one (6.0.1.8 i think? it's the last one on their website)
4 gig micro sd card is in the slot, if that makes a difference
one more note: i'm having far fewer crashes on this new install maybe because there are only google related apps (other than whatsapp which i installed right away). future planned apps to be installed:
adobe acrobat
battlenet authenticator
es file explorer
facebook messenger
titanium backup
mx player
aedict japanese dictionary
busybox
greenify
orpheus music player
qr code reader
skype
supersu
terminal emulator
any increase in instability henceforth i'll let you know. also for anyone NOT having greenscreens on the e970, do you have whatsapp? if NO, interesting. if YES, still interesting, but please what version? mine's not the latest (yet)
blitz9826
so this is new:
after reaching 100% battery level on charge, the phone used to cool down. ever since switching to this rom, the battery DOESN'T cool down, it stays warm/hot. i know for a fact it's not a charger issue since i'm charging it with the same usb port as i have been in hte past (and every other phone for that matter on the same port)
any ideas?

sensors
Sensors isnt working. 28.04 build.
Will you fix it?

Hey. Loving this ROM so far. Only problem is that the icons are blurry (not HD as usual). I wiped the cache and delvik cache but it's the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
ronasimi, i am waiting, that you will read this. Please try to fix sensors in your unofficial 12.1 builds. I really want use your rom, but sensors is not working.

Just a little question about wifi. Wifi did not connect automatically when my phone is locked. I've to wake it then WiFi connects immediately.
same is when im using mobile data and saved WiFi is in range. but phone will connect it,until i wake the device.
please help me out on this.
[SOLVED] Problems rooting 12.1 E971
Edit: For anyone else facing this issue, flashing the beta version of SuperSU from a custom recovery works.
On a previous 12.0 build I was able to get root just fine, but after clean flashing the latest 12.1 build no method seems to work. I've tried flashing the latest SuperSU update zip from TWRP, using adb to push su and busybox, and using the built in root in developer options.
Flashing the zip and using adb result in SuperSU saying there is no binary installed, and with the root in developer options it never pops up something asking for permission.
Has anyone gotten root on the latest 12.1? Thanks in advance.
Cm 12.1 Bluetooth Issue on E971
Thanks for the great rom. Works great except one minor. Bluetooth connection on and off consistently.
I have cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb.zip rom installed.
Thanks!
Thank you for your hard work on the ROM.
On an E971 with a clean flash, as others above have reported, the sensors/auto rotation are not working.
Another request would be to add repo specifics on your description of the ROM at the start of the thread. You link to your github account where the repos are stored but there are many of them, some with similar names. I am interested in reproducing your build process and possibly contributing some changes, but I am not sure which specific device, vendor and kernel repos you are using to generate the build. Would love to get rotation sorted out and keep development going on this solid 5.1 option for a still capable device.
Still kind of suprised that CM isn't doing 12.1 builds for E973/E971 but it seems they have dropped a large number of phones with the move to 5.0/5.1 and angered a lot of people.
Thanks!
Woah,kitkat in 2018? You got to be crazy!
Hello guys, you may have noticed my absence from the forums as of late. 2017 was a really busy year for me. I had some free time during the holidays, and i finally got to bringup up kitkat for the z7 max from scratch, something that was on my mind for a long time. I consider kitkat to be the pinnacle of android as far as UI, performance and efficiency go, and while i use oreo on my redmi note 4x, i object with what google has brought to the table since lollipop in all areas.
My build is not vanilla lineage11/cm11 sources, i have used pac-rom kitkat(best rom ever for me) sources as well and ported all features to lineage11(or rather backported all the security fixes to the pacrom frameworks), therefore the rom has all the customization one could need.
The device tree is a heavily tweaked(almost built from scratch) oneplus one tree with many drivers from the opo(like wifi and bluetooth) ported to our device.
Kernel is pure nubia nx505j kitkat kernel as released from ZTE with the addition of opo wifi prima driver and some fixes to get it to compile and restore features like native panel d2tw, vibrator strength control and keydisabler(thanks to paolow8). Antutu scores about 52000, but the phone feels insanely faster than the heavily customized cm12.1/cm13/nougat kernels and battery life is the best i have ever seen on the device. I may add some features like f2fs support in future as well as upstream it to the latest linux version(3.4.113).
Vendor blobs consist mostly of the latest from nubia 1.64 firmware(last kitkat version), some opo blobs from latest cos11, and some from the latest lollipop 3.89 version.
Without further ado, here is the folder with the rom, newly built recovery by me with decryption support(encryption works fine on the rom) and some camera apps to improve your camera experience(i like oppo cam best): https://mega.nz/#F!10RmSaAJ!NhWzzW_E9Wimxi_LG3KlKA
To install it , you don't have to downgrade to kitkat or anything, the rom has unified partition support, and works fine with the latest 3.89 baseband(may even add the installer to flash it in later builds). Wiping data, cache and system should do(if you come from official lollipop or any of the new roms with unified data partition). Keep in mind that f2fs is not supported yet, therefore you will have to format your data partition to ext4 if you use f2fs.
I built this rom for my usage, therefore since i plan to use xposed and microg, signature spoofing and xposed work out of the box. No need to workarounds, patchers, modules or anything. The (un)official installers work without hiccups.
For the crazy enough to use this rom, have as much fun as i did developing it. Things i have to test yet are 2 sims together(both sim slots work with mobile data, just didnt have a second sim to test them together) and sdcard(should work fine). Everything else is tested and works fine.
Special thanks to paolow8, a great dev and his sources were a huge help.
PS. I will get my sources up on github as soon as i can.
Thank you for your work!
thank you for your work too !
Thanks, this is the most complete 4.4.4 Z7 Max ROM ever.
Are there any roms or custome recoveries for the ZTE Max Blue?
I agree 100% with you: 4.4.4 is state of the art. Questions: IR and screen trasmission works fine?
Edit: CHECK! Screen Trasmission works like a charm! IR says "not supported".
Thx's a lot, you have made an happy man
Edit 2: SDCARD don't work, for me. If you have a fix please share
Edit 3: For more precision: The unmountable partition is Ext Card.
While everything works perfectly (in recovery and in other ROMs) it is impossible to format or unmounting external card from Android-> Settings-> Storage.
The only flaw of an otherwise perfect ROM for me.
Is it a common problem? Did it happen to anyone? Please, if you have a fix share it
I need my settings to know what kind of phone I have
The SD card don't work! :crying:
SD card issue fixed, since it's been almost a year i got in touch with the friend to whom this phone was donated...
Just redownload and reinstall the rom, no wipes needed. It was a simple fix in the kernel ramdisk.

I want to install crdroid vanilla custom rom. I want to know whether microg is device specified like custom roms. I have a redmi note 10. Is there any specified micro g for redmi note 10 or can i install any mciro g. Also please suggest which is better from microg, nanodroid, nikgapps. I am also curious to know its pros and cons.
crdroid is unfortunately discontinued as vanilla build ( I still wonder why.. ) you better stick with other vanilla ROMs then.
however, getting Signature spoofing working on vanilla LineageOS is currently a mess and very tricky (as long as there is no official microG version), so many ways that worked before don't work anymore. nanodroid isn't working, the spoofing is not working. you have to manually extract framework files, deodex files, repack, upload again etc.. cumbersome.
if you have a vanilla ROM that supports signature spoofing out of the box, the best way seems to be having Magisk and installing the unofficial MinMicroG.zip with it. That was the only option that worked for me now on Android 11.
there is also no device specific MicroG version. To get a working MicroG installation it depends on 2 factors:
1. MicroG itself. the current version is kinda buggy on Android 11
2. the way it is installed and bound into the system (priv-app, userapp, as system installation or magisk module)
both need to work hand in hand, that means there are many combinations available that might work and might not work, and it's changing everyday (like, microg community updates fixes and adjusts the code, then google releases next update and nothing works anymore)
again: if your chosen ROM supports signature spoofing out of the box, installing microG is a piece of cake (if you know the right combinations that currently work, f.i. A11+magisk+minmicrog, or (currently not) nandroid, official microG apks only, etc.)
otherwise it's a lot more difficult, because there is currently nowhere a working one-click-solution to add signature spoofing.
(oh, and that's at least my experience so far, if anybody knows better, feel free correct me or add infos, I'm eager to hear)
I'm running the stock Sony ROM on my Z5C, which is Android 7.1 and some apps I use are no longer supporting 7. So an upgrade to a minimum of Oreo/8 is necessary.
My question is, for stabilty, are the LineageOS builds based on 9/10/11 stable enough for daily use?
I would value simple setup without having to tweak things even if it means an older Android version. I made do with 7 for years so not too bothered about using latest version if it means compatibility problems and annoying bugs.
Any advice from users who are using LineageOS?
For both stability and app compatibility, go with Berni's LineageOS 17.1. It's very stable and suitable for daily use.
For apps that require Android 11 (not sure how many of those exist), go with 18.1. Equally stable but may be slower than 17.1 at some parts (especially the media player in the Quick Settings, but that's mostly Android's fault, as it's slow on my newer devices too.)
19.1 is in beta but also worth a try, if the device is not your main one.
As for the setup, installing custom ROMs only has an initial hurdle, which is unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. There are guides in this forum that can help with that. After that everything is a breeze.
