[ROM] MIUI Nook Color 1.8.5

**JohnAllen** · 08-11-2011, 09:42 PM

OK, I think I know what I should have done. I fell back to cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore (mainly because I was stumped over the back-button question), so the following is based on Button Savior under cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore...so I may be wrong.

Button Savior requires superuser authority to enable the left-arrow to be configured as "back". On the home screen (under cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore), I pressed the thingy (technical term) on the right-middle of the screen to open the drawer that shows the button savior buttons. I pressed the left-arrow button, and a window popped-up asking me to authorize superuser access. Once I allowed this, the left-arrow worked as a back button.

When I go back to try MIUI again, I'll try this to confirm the above is correct.

Hope this helps.

When I touch the right side of the screen to see the soft buttons, the left-arrow and the home soft buttons both take me to the home screen. I have looked through the settings but can't find out how to go back to a previous screen or configure the left-arrow.

I expect I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm using Zmooth which can be find free in the market that will allow you to use gestures to go back, search, and menu. Only thing is, there will be a small blue box on the bottom of each screen. If you can deal with that, I believe this is the best option for the Nook ATM.

Did you sign in over wifi? I had the same issue until I signed in.

Anyone seeing issues with 1.8.5 sizing widgets incorrectly?
edit:
a thread on here helped me out. I installed a qq launcher and everything works fine now

The more I figure out the more I like it seems to work hreat

Just flashed (fresh install btw), and I've been having some problems:
1. WiFi gives me poor connection (Even though i'm next to the router) (Fixed with reboot)
2. Menu Button doesn't work (all the others do work though) (Fixed with reboot)
3. Bluetooth works but when I try to make a call it freezes up and reboots

Just wanted to give a big old THANKS!!! for this. I've tried Froyo and CM7 and they've disappointed me with FCs. So far MIUI is working great. Love it.

How about the time of battery use?Especially when the nook color is in sleep time.

**shobon** · 08-19-2011, 04:30 PM

Any news if we're getting 1.8.19?

**mcgrathpatj** · 08-19-2011, 07:39 PM

Ditto.... any news on the update for nook? We've missed two revs since 1.8.5 - 1.8.12 and now 1.8.19. Not that anyone owes it to the community, but it'd be cool to see active developement.

Exactly which nook do I have to get to be able to run this port??

Any rooted Nook Color.

Is there a way to create a miui bookable from sd!? I have one for cm7 but would much rather run miui.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1205822 - I did this last Thursday and I've got a nice miui bootable sdcard to play with. I've got cm7 installed and not sure about wiping it for miui but it's nice to have the bootable disk to see what it's like.

**tbag** · 08-21-2011, 07:06 PM

Hey thanks! I am pretty good with the Evo side of things, but I just got the Nook and trying to scratch through everything kinda has me on sensory overload. I have looked at so many options for the Nook its amazing...

The NC doesn't actually have to be rooted. It boots from a bootable SD card if one is present.

Create the disk mentioned in the XDA dev thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1000957

drop the miui file on it

rename to match the cm naming convention (ie, match the filename to one like cm_encore_full-168.zip so the script will find it)

power down the NC

insert the disk

the cm7 dual boot script will pick up that you have a compatible ROM and set the card up for you.

It'll reboot and away you go.

I needed a second reboot to get button savior to work, and I dialed the resolution back out to 160 and did some build.prop hacking to look at getting Netflix going.

Netflix isn't happening yet. Neither with the HTC nor the samsung mods....

Very nice, though - I like this mod quite a bit.

I have netflix working. I found the Netflix 1.3apk from XDA worked fine. Try this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1159266

Is there any plans to update the nook color to the latest ROM release? Has any gotten PDANet bluetooth DUN to work? My nook color and Evo 4G connect but no data transfer occurs. This works on CM7 Nightly 164.

I just flashed new MIUI rom 1.8.5 to my Nook but it won't get pass the MIUI United Worldwide screen. Just keep lopping. Can not boot into Clockwork recovery.
