ACTUALLY FUNCTIONAL. Thanks to lws803 for OWNER OF ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS + me for instruction edits to make it work. NOTHANKS to KarateExplosion6 for giving NO CREDIT to us and copying thread exactly. His isn't as functional
These instructions work for both CDMA HERO from SPRINT and the HTC DROID ERIS from VERIZON
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING make sure you make this path/folder on your sdcard /media/Music and place all your music there or music will NOT sync. Delete Your original music app if running a non-Sense based rom.
1.5. Download the music apk here. -----> http://www.mediafire.com/?j73zh5ld7bpcbqn
2. Open the apk using Root Explorer from your phone or from your computer with winrar
3. Open the lib folder and the 'armeabi-v7a' folder and extract 'libjumper.so' to root of sdcard. If on computer put it to your desktop
4. If you used a computer connect your phone to your computer and copy the 'libjumper.so' and the music.apk file to the root of your sd card
5. Using root explorer, go to your sd card and copy the 'libjumper.so' file and paste it in your phone system/lib
6. rename your honeycomb music apk into 'Music.apk' and make sure its in the root of your sdcard
7. close root explorer and go to terminal emulator(available on Market)
8.then type
su
[enter]
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[enter]
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
[enter]
9. Then go to root explorer again and into system>app and long press on Music.apk.
10. select permissions and make sure the check boxes have a inverted (upside down) L shaped pattern
11. close your root explorer and reboot your phone
12. You should see a bown coloured music icon on your phone's app list enjoy!
13. eMaN edit: To initiate sync go to Setting, Accounts & Sync , click on your google account and there will be options you can check and check music
14. Go to your apps and open Jumpertest app(has the music icon) then click on acounts tab, choose your gmail account, next go to the tab that has start peer, stop peer, and import media.
15. (HOW CLOUD WORKS) Ok this is the important step to initiate sync. Once following step 14 on that tab click start peer and wait 5 seconds. Next click import media and wait 5 seconds and the sync should initiate and BOOM there you have it sync may take several hours if you have a lot of music.
Also make sure in the music app u hit menu/library something/ and only stream
Make sure you tell your buddies and pals about this.
Do you know where the music is stored? It be much faster if I could upload my music from my PC.
i can't find a link to the honeycomb music player in that thread

It just force closes from the start
Sent from my GSBv1.9 ERIS using XDA App
Mine works like a charm, but any idea what the JumperTest app does? Same icon as Music, but didn't feel like screwing any thing up when I opened it. Safe to uninstall or just hide it?
it works, its alive.....
Alan it is stored in the cloud. Stream music without SD card. It goes to Google servers,
Nick- If it force closes make sure u took the right procedures.
Oh also the jumptest thing I don't really get it but when the music app says no items just go to jumptester and click import media
I've been reading up on this around the forums.
It seems like nothing is actually syncing except for a bunch of filenames(but not the content). In other words, I can setup the sync properly, but nothing is actually being synced except for names of songs. In fact, it will continuously display the sync icon on my phone, but net monitors show that NOTHING is going on
I can successfully delete the music files completely off the SD card and they still show up in music player, but won't actually play.
looks like a bust for now until the service actually goes live
i have the .apk and winrar but theres no option to extract anything
Um yeah.....

That makes sense! (pardon the pun) I didn't want to wait for my phone to sync 10 GB of music files (upgraded to 16GB card).
i got it working! using Ginger Tazz v11

So what's the trick to getting this to work...do I need to delete all my music. On my SD card..and how do I unrar the APk

Really?
So you've successfully
1.synced music from SD card to the cloud (wherever that is, TBD)
2. Deleted the music off your SD Card
3. It still shows up in honeycomb music player
4.Clicking the music will actually stream the music to your device after it buffers.
I got all the way to step four, but the music that supposedly synched gives me the "cannot play media file, unknown type" error
After following the instructions in the OP, I opened jumper test, clicked started peer and import media. After this step, it APPEARED to be syncing (looking at the logs in jumpertest), but that's all it was. Only filenames synced back.
If you have successful actually streaming, please report back and post steps you took that may have been different.

I don't know about y'all, but i get random FC's and the music stops playing after the screen turns off, then when i turn it back on, it sees no music on my sdcard or this "cloud" which is very, very inconvenient since i didnt bother to nandroid beforehand

This seems to be the problem that most everyone is having. Sync appears to be happening, all the options show up to sync music under accounts and settings, but nothing actually happens.

Hello everyone, I'm new to XDA, and also new to Android, I've got my note since a few weeks.
I got some questions/problems, and I hope that we can solve them.
1. Skype
1a When video chatting over Skype, I only see myself just for a few seconds, and then the screen (Not the actual screen, but the small window that shows you) goes black. Is this normal? Or is there a way to fix this.
1b When video chatting with someone, the person can't hear me, is this normal(No the mic. isn't on mute) or do I need to use the/a headset. That would be weird since the phone has his own mic.
2. Wifi
When connected to a wireless network you can still see that the phone is scanning for wireless networks, I find that quite useless, since you're already connected to one. Is there a way to turn it off(the searching) I think that it might actually save some battery.
(What I'm talking about happens at: Settings > Wireless and Network > Wifi settings> In the "Wifi networks" bar it says scanning every second or so.
3. Poweramp(purchased)
3a I purchased a 32 GB SDHC card class 10 card from Samsung and I used it for some days, until I found out that we can also use a 64GB card, so I bought that one. But now the thing is that when I browse my music through Poweramp I still see the files that were on my 32GB card.(But of course they won't play.) When I create a playlist, these "Ghost" files are also included, and when a "ghost" file is about to play Poweramp gives me an error that the folder can't be found and then Poweramp stops playing.
3b Sometimes a song plays and suddenly Poweramp skips to another song without the previous song reaching it's end. This ALSO happens when the screen is OFF. Anyone else got this issue?
I got some other minor problems but I can live with those, so I won't mention them.
Thanks for the help.
Some additional info:
Rooted: Yes

4. Ringtones
Is there a way to get custom ringtones per contact without installing additional programs?
At the moment I got RingoLite, but sometimes it just resets the contacts ringtone to default.
I'd prefer to set custom ringtones without additional programs of course.
I did look on Google for an answer, but I only found a way to do it at older Android versions.
Contacts > select the specific contact, then options, but there is no such thing anymore. Unless I'm just blind...
Edit 2:
5. Customizing
Since yesterday I got ICS stock, I was able to get it with the help of Check Fus.
Now that I have ICS I decided to root my phone. I used this topic to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
Now I want to do some more customizations, like change the battery indicator in the status bar. I found out that I can do that and many other thing with
UOT Kitchen. But I'm a bit stuck using UOT Kitchen. I have chosen all the mods at the Kitchen website, but at "File upload", I don't know what files I should upload, since it only says what files to upload when you have
Froyo/Gingerbread. So now that I have ICS will this even work? And if it does. What files do I have to upload?
The other question is: at some mods you have to choose screen size, which one do I have to choose for the Note?
At "File upload" (Kitchen website) I have chosen/left the "flashing folders for system files" on /system/framework and /system/app (For framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk) are these paths still correct for ICS?
@ Status bar mod, what screen size do I have to choose and does the transparency work in ICS (Even though it says Gingerbread only) .
I guess that's for it now, I will edit if I forgot a question.
1. skype
it sounds like you have either limited bandwidth or struggling to maintain a connection... yes you should see your cam and yes folks should hear you without the use of headsets.
2. wifi
I am not sure how you are verifying your statement?. If you are looking at settings>wireless>wifi settings, the Note will obviously scan while it is on this page.. I suspect that it does not do so otherwise while a connection is active.
3. Poweramp.
I do not have poweramp, but you should be able to go into settings>applications>running services and clear the data/cache for poweramp.
just open your contact and theres an option to assign a ringtone
Rfresh the library in power amp.. This should solve the problem.

Uhm I really don't see it.
When I select a contact, and I go to the options, I see: Edit, Delete, send name card edd to reject list, print name card.
I was able to fix the Ghost files issue in Poweramp by removing the sd card. And then deleting the Ghost files.
It surprised me that I never thought of that before.

Aaah now I see...
Now I know why I didn't saw it. The options only show up for some reason if the person also have Skype.
The contacts that I want to give another ringtone, don't have Skype, so those options don't show up.
Bump, added another question in the first post.
And bump once again
Hello XDA,
I am running on ARHD 5.1, rooted, on the ONE. Using ES file explorer to navigate.
My issues are these:
1) Setting a custom ringtone,
File is located at: sdcard > Ringtones > file.mp3
The file is all lowercase, no spaces.
When I go to Settings > Sound > Ringtone >
The file does not show up, but it does when I press the + icon in the top right.
After choosing this, I get an error message : "Unfortunately, Sound set has stopped".
I've tested out the ringtone (by calling it) and the default is still selected. I will continue to get that error message until I move the mp3 file to a different location. I have also used this ringtone on my SNS, and have played the file on MUSIC, so it isn't corrupted .
2) Setting a custom Notification,
File is located at: sdcard > media > audio > notifications >
The file is all lowercase, no spaces, mp3
When I go to Messaging > menu (3dot) > settings > notifications > Notification Sound >
The file does not show up.
I've also tried moving the file to:
sdcard >Notifcations
sdcard >Ringtones
But nothing works.
Has anyone encountered this issues? My last phone was quite different so I can't pin down the location for the issues (Phone, OS, ROM...)

Hmm, I tried that out, but I wasn't able to use my one custom files. It seemed as though I had to DL their songs.
But, there should be an easy way to do this w/o any need for apps, shouldn't it?
It should be but I've not tried I've always used zedge i find it the easiest way for me
Unfortunately, there is definitely a problem with the Ringtone/Notification system on the HTC One... at least on the Developer Edition. I can't speak for any of the other flavors.
Placing Ringtones into the normal locations including the following:
/sdcard/ringtones
/sdcard/notifications
/sdcard/media/ringtones
/sdcard/media/notifications
Does not make those files appear in the lists for the standard ringtone/notification sound chooser.
You CAN select those files if you use a third-party ringtone/notification selection app (like ES File Explorer) but there are two problems with this:
1) System Apps (like the stock SMS messaging app) will not give you the option to use a third party ringtone chooser.
2) Other applications WILL let you use a third party chooser (like Gmail and Google Voice) but if you DO use a separate app to choose a ringtone/notification, you will break the built-in notification chooser. That means that every time you try to change a ringtone or notification sounds in a system app, you'll get a force-close message. The only way to fix it is to delete the ringtone file that you selected with the third party chooser.
Hopefully HTC resolves this quickly. While I don't HATE the stock sounds, I have grown accustomed to a specific set of sounds for various accounts and services and would prefer not having to change my routine, so-to-speak.
After various tweaks and tests I've finally fix it.
I can't say with certainty, but it seems as though the files work when I dl'd them on my PC then pushed them to my phone.
For the ringtone, I set it through ES and it rings accordingly.
For the SMS tone, the sound file showed up after a reset.
So, the files are finally working and I am thinking it has something to do with downloading them straight to the phone vs pc. Odd, but it ended up working.
In the past on my sensation/hox/hox + I have always put my custom ringtones/notifications in system/media which is the proper place for them then I have to reboot the device before they become visible.
On this device I did the same and, after reboot, my entries had completely disappeared wtf

I worked with HTC Support last night to further troubleshoot this issue. Here is what I learned:
1) The correct locations for storing custom ringtones and notifications are:
/sdcard/Ringtones
/sdcard/Notifications
2) You must copy the files to this location from your computer via USB. The problem I was encountering was caused by the fact that I was using ES File Explorer to download my MP3 and OGG files from a network share to my phone. While all other applications were able to see and play these files without any trouble, the built-in ringtone/notification chooser will not see files copied onto the device in that way.
Success!

I've been having the same exact frustration. I posted my question in the AT&T One forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247626) and referenced your thread. I thought this was [CLOSED] -- I came here to get your ID to PM you and saw your update (about having to get the files onto the phone via USB). I'm going to try this as soon as I'm able!
Edit:
Copying the files via USB absolutely works :good:.
I turned off USB debugging (in Developer Options) and connected. The phone's "internal storage" appeared under "My Computer" as "HTC One", not as a drive letter, with the "root" being /sdcard (btw I'm running Win 7 Ultimate). I also got a new drive letter for "HTC Sync Manager", showing as a CD drive (with a letter), but that's irrelevant to this.
I just copied files into /Alarms, /Notifications, and /Ringtones using Windows' GUI (both by dragging and Ctrl-C/V). My files were a mix of audio formats and subtypes and I was prompted to convert several of them during the operation, with the warning that "...otherwise [the files] might not play correctly" or something. I let it convert a few just to see what happens -- they get converted to wma -- but the phone had no trouble playing back the unconverted files, either. Indeed, the One was able to use some files that my previous phone could not.
I'm going to link to this post from my own question in the other forum. +1 to you, sir.

Nice discovery, hopefully some HTC dev will pick up on this.
This all started with the hell I went through trying to get V6 Supercharger 100% on my NC running 10.1.2 off SD (services.jar patch wasn't working). This is a simplified guide made by an Android newbie for other newbies. I've tried to consolidate everything into simplified instructions and a single post.
Offline, I have everything broken up into 3 folders including all the installation files and source links; very neatly organized - even my technically challenged, significant other could follow these steps...
Everything all zipped up is about 299 MB (see download link below). Simply download and extract that to your Windows PC, then open and follow the readme.txt files.
I'll clean this post up as time allows. This is just my small way of giving back.
Thanks to all the masters here in the XDA community; it's a far reach for us lowly users...
Your feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Kind Regards,

README 1
[Guide] Nook Color Installation Instructions for CM 10.1.2 on SD (simplified):
Install the SDFormatter software on Windows.
Insert your USB MicroSD card adapter (with Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD inserted) into your PC.
Format MicroSD with SDFormatter.
Use Win32DiskImager.exe to write the generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-larger-Rev6.img file to the formatted MicroSD card. Make sure you choose the correct drive letter otherwise you will erase the wrong drive!
Eject the USB MicroSD card/adapter from the PC and reinsert it back into the PC (select "continue without scanning" if prompted by Windows).
Use Windows Explorer and copy both the cm-10.1.2-encore.zip & gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip files to microsd (this installs cyanogenmod android rom & google apps).
Copy both the uAltImg & uAltRam files from the AlternateCWM-SDInstalls-Rev2-v6.0.1.2 directory to the USB MicroSD card/adapter (x:\boot) (this CWM will nandroid backup the SD, wipe dalvik-cache or cache, fix permissions, etc).
From Windows Explorer, right click the drive letter to eject the USB MicroSD card/adapter and then insert it into your Nook Color (while it's powered off).
Turn the Nook Color on and wait for Cyanogenmod to boot. Setup your google account when prompted (wifi connection required).
Hold the power button down and reboot your Nook Color. Enjoy!
Please note:
At this point, you will have a stable version of Android 4.2.2 installed on your Nook Color thanks to the CyanogenMod team & the XDA community. You can stop here but I would recommend installing v6 SuperCharger, the 720p Flash & Video Patch and the Netflix Xposed mod (README 2 & README 3 below).

Newbie App Guide (Addendum):
If you're fairly new to Android, here are some recommended Android Apps (APKs) that will put some pep back into your Nook Color.
General Apps -
ES File Explorer (excellent file manager; free from Google Play)
Airdroid (easily transfer files from/to your NC wirelessly from your PC; no USB cable required!)
MX Player (think VLC but for Android; this is an excellent multimedia player supporting a wide array of video codecs)
Cool Tool (useful cpu, memory, battery utilization meter, etc.)
ZArchiver (like 7zip but for Android; very simple and handles most all file archive types automatically)
SD Tools (simple performance guage to easily benchmark your SD card performance)
Titanium Backup (popular backup application)
Spotimote (use this awesome app with Spotimote server & Spotify on your Windows PC to turn your Android device into a Spotify remote)
Gmail (not included with gapps)
Youtube (not included with gapps)
Netflix (new version from Google Play using Xposed mod or install w/o Xposed mod by downloading older version netflix-1.8.1.apk)
OfficeSuite Pro (works amazingly with "gesture typing" keyboard included in Android 4.2.x)
eBook Apps -
Calibre Companion (manage your ebook collection and easily sync your ebooks wirelessly from your PC to your Android device; Calibre Portable for Windows highly recommended)
Mantano Reader (PDF & EPUB support, works great with Calibre companion)
RepliGo PDF Reader (excellent support for PDFs featuring text resizing / reflow; it even automatically reflows multi-column pages into single pages).
Moon+ Reader (supports many different ebook formats including PDF in pro version)
FBReader and CoolReader (also worth checking out but no PDF support)

README 2
[Guide] v6 SuperCharger + Service.jar patching Instructions for CM 10.1.2 (simplified):
Note: On Android 4.2 and newer, the "Developer options" are hidden by default. To make it available, go to "Settings" > "About tablet" and tap "Build number" seven times. Then, return to the previous screen to find the developer options.
From the developer options screen, enable "Android debugging" and tap OK on the "Allow USB debugging" dialog when prompted.
From your PC, install the "nookcolor-easyADB.exe" drivers.
After the driver installation is complete, plug your Nook Color into your PC via USB. Do NOT "turn on USB storage" if prompted on your Nook Color.
From your PC, open Windows Explorer and copy the file "v6_supercharger_for_android-update9_rc12-blackdog-63457_fix.sh" (right click > "save link as" to download this file) & the entire "supercharger_starter_kit" directory to My Computer > Portable Devices > NookColor > SD card.
From your Nook Color, open the "Play Store" > search for "SManager" (free), & install it (select browse as root; superuser access - remember this choice forever).
Launch SManager & enable "Mount/system as rw" from advanced options.
From SManager, navigate to /storage/sdcard1/SuperCharger_Starter_Kit/ and run StartMeUp.sh as SU, then follow the prompts to install busybox & sqlite3/zipalign.
Reboot your Nook Color.
Now from smanager, open "v6_supercharger_for_android-update9_rc12-blackdog-63457_fix.sh" and follow prompts but don't reboot, simply press (E) to exit when prompted and proceed to next step.
From your PC, navigate to the "Ultimatic_Jar_Patcher_Tools_RC7_TEST6_ALL_DEX_ALL_OSes_NO_FLASH" directory, right click "ultimatic_jar_patcher_adb.sh", select run as administrator (accept Secure USB debugging notification on Nook Color otherwise it will hang).

Important Notes:
As of JB 4.2.2, you will have to tap to accept the adb secure usb debugging message that pops up on your Android device, otherwise Ultimatic_Jar_Patcher will hang after you see "daemon started successfully".
Java is required on your PC; you may also need to set your Windows path variable to point to your java installation directory. On Windows 7 x64 add this to Windows environmental settings path variable - ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin" (without the quotes but prefixed with a semicolon).
Optionally, you can also download only the Android SDK Tools from here (after extracting the .zip, you only need to run SDK Manager.exe update for Platform-tools), then replace the 3 files in the Ultimatic_Jar_Patcher_Tools directory with the three updated ADB files below (located in the android-sdk-windows\platform-tools dir):
• adb.exe• AdbWinApi.dll• AdbWinUsbApi.dll

• Android Device > Android Composite ADB Device• Portable Devices > (two drive letters)
If you don't see the above devices; try rebooting your PC & Nook Color and connecting to a different USB port on your computer, then disabling & re-enabling "Android debugging" on the NC under "Settings" > "{} Developer options" -
From the Nook Color, go to "Settings" > "Storage" > tap the overflow menu icon (the three small vertical dots located in the top right of the display) > then tap "USB computer connection" > and check "Media device (MTP)", making sure "Mass storage" is unchecked.
Now when connected via USB, the Nook Color should appear under My Computer on Windows as "Nook Color Portable Media Player" and if you double click on that you will see two partitions; one that says "Internal Storage" and the other that says "SD Card".
Lastly, if none of that works, remove the following devices from device manager containing the Hardware ID "2080":
• USB Composite Device• USB Mass Storage Device
----
ADB USB console test:
Click the Windows Start menu, then type "cmd" & press ctrl + enter (without quotes) to open the command prompt with administrator privileges.
Type: "adb devices" (without quotes) and press enter.
You should see the serial # of your Nook Color listed and the word "device" next to that if the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) connection was successful between your PC & NC (if not, make sure your path to adb.exe is correct & that the nook color USB drivers are installed properly).
As of CM 10.1.2 (JB 4.2.2), you will have to tap to accept the ADB secure USB debugging message that pops up automatically on your Nook Color; otherwise the connection will fail.

Netflix Workaround
Netflix Xposed mod here (to download latest version of Netflix from Google Play on your Nook Color).
You can download the older version of Netflix 1.8.1 here directly from the web browser on your Nook Color (no mod required). Note: You must go to Settings > Security > and enable "Unknown sources" first. Then after the download is complete, open "File Manager" on your Nook and navigate to the "Download" directory and click the netflix-1.8.1.apk to install it.
eltrkbrd,
Thanks you, Thank you, Thank you. The level of detail in your instructions was just what I needed!
I'm a relative newbie to installing CM, but have good technical skills in Windows.
I installed CM 7.2 Stable when it first came out, and now CM 10.1.2 Stable - I started over from scratch.
I am l-o-v-i-n-g CM 10.1.2 Stable. It has breathed new life into my Nook Color.
I used a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 card (one of the cards recommended by leapinlar), and the install went very smoothly.
I did Readme 1 and Readme 3.
For now I skipped Readme 2 (V6 Supercharger ...). If I find I need it, I will come back and use your instructions.
I also installed leapinlar's "sdboot script", which he recommends in his Guide. It doesn't seem to be included in your instructions.

Hi Lilla,
I'm thrilled you've found the guide I wrote useful and I really appreciate your feedback! Honestly though, I couldn't have accomplished any of it without standing on the shoulders of giants here in the XDA forums.
Thanks for the tip about leapinlar's sdboot script; I'm going to give that a shot! I really like the idea of being able to update CM more easily from SD without having to connect to a PC first.
I wonder, would it be possible to flash completely different ROMS using that method? For example, the latest Chameleon OS 4.2.2 ROM looks very interesting... What are your thoughts on that?
I'm using a 16GB Sandisk C4 MicroSD in my Nook Color too. Supposedly, the V6 Supercharger script makes a substantial difference and it also has a SD Speed tweak option; I've set mine for 2048 based on what I've read but couldn't find any posts on V6 SuperCharger settings specifically optimized for the NC running off SD.
I was able to add a SManager widget to the home screen for V6 by bringing up the app drawer from the launcher and selecting it from one of the many widgets screens. I noticed it takes a few minutes after rebooting for the V6 boot scripts to run, otherwise V6 Supercharger will only report 50% supercharged when running the widget instead of 100%. This was driving me crazy for a bit because I thought it wasn't working when it fact it was; just a bit delayed...
Is there any specific reason you haven't installed V6 SuperCharger yet? I have read some reports of the placebo effect in regards and to be honest, I haven't tried stock CM 10.1.2 enough to know the difference with or without it. It was initially a real pain to setup on CM 10.1.2 / JB 4.2.2 (in CM 7.2 it was easy) but I have included the latest ADB files in my attached 299MB download so running the ultimatic_jar_patcher_adb.sh (in Step 11 of README 2) should work just fine without having to download the Android SDK and all that jazz...
Would anyone running V6 SuperCharger on their NC care to chime in what the optimal Minfree & SD speed tweak values are?
Kind Regards,
Eltrkbrd

Thanks for your suggestion; instructions updated!
Out of curiosity, what kind of battery life are you getting on your Nook Color running CM 10.1.2? For example, how many hours do you get while it's awake, with the screen on and WiFi enabled, vs. when it's in deep sleep?
Something is draining my NC if I put it to sleep with WiFi enabled.
For example, looking at "Partial Wakelocks"; "WeatherUpdateService" seems to be hogging up a lot of my battery...

I am having a similar battery draining issue. I installed BBS (thanks for link), next I need to read up on how to use it.
In an attempt to minimize things that use the battery I have done this...
o I may experiment with this setting, but am probably more comfortable with using default here. I'm concerned that frequent connects/disconnects from the router might be problematic, especially if you do not have a static IP address assigned to your device in the router.
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi > Advanced. Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Only when plugged in (def=Always).
o Settings > Interface > Launcher. Homescreen. Disable Show Outlines. This has nothing to do with battery, but looks better to me.
o Settings > Interface > Lock screen. Screen Security. Disable Vibrate.
o Settings > Interface > Lock screen (or System). Clock widget. Disable Weather panel. Otherwise, since I keep location access off most of the time, weather is reported as a question mark which is ugly.
o Settings > Device > Sound. Disable these: Touch sounds, Screen lock sound, Volume Adj sound, Volume rocker music controls.
o Settings > Personal > Location access. Access to my location: Off. If I am going to run something that needs location, I will first temporarily turn this On.
o Settings > Personal > Language & input. Disable Google voice typing. Not needed since Nook Color doesn't have a microphone.
o Settings > Personal > Language & input. Voice Search: Disable all related items.
o Settings > Accounts > Email > Account settings > [email protected]. Inbox check frequency: Everyday (vs.Every X min).
o Settings > Accounts > Google. Uncheck Sync for App Data, Browser, Calendar, Contacts, People - I don't use these. I left Sync for Drive checked.
Web history: Off; Personal results: Off
o Settings > Accounts > Outlook.com > Account setting. Sync settings. Enable push: Disable. Frequency: manually.
o I Disabled automatic updating for most Apps. To do this, open Play Store app. Click down arrow. Do the following for each app you want to change.
In left column, click on the app. In right column, uncheck "Allow automatic updating" box.
Tip. If you are in portrait mode, you need to switch to landscape mode, otherwise you will not see this box.
With the above settings I am getting about 10-13% battery drain per hour with some light usage.
During the following tests there was no user activity.
Test #1. Over a 12 hr period, with WiFi on, I lost about 9% drop in battery power.
Test #2. Over a 12 hr period, with WiFi off (vs turning Airport mode on), I lost about 4% in battery power.
Test #3. Over a 12 hr period, with Airport mode on (vs WiFi only off), I lost about 2% in battery power.
CONCLUSION 1: In the Guide linked below, I read that it is more affective to turn Airport mode on than to turn WiFi off, and Test #2 and Test #3 above definitely support this.
CONCLUSION 2: It appears that when WiFi is on, something is preventing my device from deep sleep. I am using BBS to try to understand/minimize/resolve this issue.

Battery optimization on Nook Color
Thanks for sharing your battery saving tips; especially the link on the XDA Wakelock guide; I'm digging through it now!
I also have turned off "Location access". How did you set yours to "Enabled only when needed"?
Also how did you remove the google voice search / services?
Apparently there's no way to remove the Google search widget from the home screen without switching launchers. I would like to just disable the microphone icon / feature altogether but that doesn't seem like an option.
I went to settings > language & input > keyboard & input methods and disabled "google voice typing".
Then I went to Settings > Apps > All and scrolled down to "com.google.android.voicesearch". From there I tapped "Clear data" and then "disable".
I see what you mean by airplane mode; I tried that initially and figured I didn't need it after changing the advanced wifi sleep option but it seems most apps play nicer with it on regarding sync.
For example, BBS shows WeatherUpdateService (com.cyanogenmod.lockclock.clock) with a partial wakelock of over 1.5 hours (out of 9 hours)! Do you have that issue on your NC?
----
These settings made a huge difference in battery drain during deep sleep on my NC:
Set Wi-Fi to automatically turn off during sleep:
Under Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced -
Uncheck "network notification"
Set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "only when plugged in"
Check "Wi-Fi optimization"
Change home screen clock widget update from 15 mins (default) to every 8 hours:
Under Settings > Lock screen (or System) > Clock widget > Weather panel -
Set "Update interval" to "8 hours"
Check "Use custom location" (I entered my City & State manually here)
Google Account sync set to manual:
Settings > Accounts > Google > Uncheck Sync for App Data, Browser, Calendar, Contacts, Gmail and People details (recheck & uncheck to manually sync from here).
Note: You can also sync Google services, such as contacts and calendars, in their own dedicated apps. You can also sync Gmail manually from your inbox by pressing "Menu", then "Refresh."
----
Of course, screen brightness and processor utilization are two major factors.
Under Settings > Performance > Processor, I have Minimum CPU set for 300 MHz & Maximum CPU set for 800 MHz with "Set on boot" checked.
I'm still monitoring the battery drain; especially while awake as there appears to be something hogging my battery. I suspect WiFi and/or certain applications that I'm using over the LAN/WAN to be the cause.
Here are some Android Battery Saver Apps I found to aid with that:
Greenify -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Note: Greenify saves battery by reducing wakelocks and standby power usage. It hibernates apps that persistently run in the background; polling the Internet, pushing notifications, etc thereby preventing them from opening via wakelocks and alarms which task killers alone cannot.
Wake Lock Detector (simplified version of BBS) -

You can try this... o Settings > Interface > Launcher. Homescreen. Disable Search Bar. This will remove the left sidebar where Google search icon and microphone icon are normally displayed. I also like to Disable Show Outlines, it looks better to me. The screen looks a little bare to me without the left sidebar, so I added it back. There doesn't seem to be a way to use the space for anything else, unless I'm missing something.

Yes, this is a good setting. I'm so glad to have learned about it. Over a 12 hour period (with device left untouched) I experienced a 4% battery loss with WiFi off, vs. a 2% battery loss with Airplane mode on. So, a 50% difference in favor of using Airplane mode.

Yes, and that is the problem. I am simply trying to do as the directions say, but there doesn't seem to be enough room. I downloaded the required files via the hyperlinks, so perhaps they aren't the right files? Perhaps I am installing the gaaps and encore to the wrong part of the SD (tried to install all files to SD when it was now called "boot," though the directions say to simply install the alt)?

You don't say what the files are or how large they are. Try doing just the rom and flash that followed by doing the gapps next. They must be really large to exceed 247MB.
Edit: I see what is wrong here. You are trying to put too many files on the SD. You should only be putting the CM zip and gapps on there, not the whole content of the 299MB zip.
BTW, the author copied a lot of these instructions and files from my original SD installation thread without giving me much credit other than linking my original posts. He did add the V6 supercharger installation instructions which my thread does not have. Go to my thread linked in my signature for the original SD instructions.

Your version of installation seems to have rectified the problem, thank you! The problem I have been trying to fix by this update still persists, though. Whenever I try to use anything Google-based, the program simply crashes instantly. Play, Gmail and whatnot are all affected. When I open up running apps, it shows they are still active, yet they just quit again if I try to open them. Oh well, one problem at a time, I suppose. Thank you again!

Following these simplified instructions is sometimes not enough.
Sometimes it is difficult to make a bootable SD so that it will actually boot in a Nook Color. See my Nook Color Tips thread linked in my signature and read item A9 for some ideas.

SDCard/Adapter not recognized after writing image
"write the generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-larger-Rev6.img file to the formatted MicroSD card. Make sure you choose the correct drive letter otherwise you will erase the wrong drive! Eject the USB MicroSD card/adapter from the PC and reinsert it back into the PC (select "continue without scanning" if prompted by Windows)"
Writing the image seemed to go fine. But when I reinserted the USB MicroSD card/adapter back into the PC, it does not recognize it. It cannot see it as a drive. Now I cannot even reformat the MicroSD card and start over.
Any ideas?
Assuming you're talking about in windows... go into Administrative Tools... Computer Management... Storage... Disk Management and see if the drive is listed there with no drive letter assigned. If it is... select the first partition... right click... change drive letter and assign a drive letter for it.
Two issues with my new Note 5.
1. When I copied my mp3 ringtone file to storage/sdcard0/ringtone it worked for one day, then failed. Tried to convert to wma, ogg, mp3, the program said, "unable to set as ringtone"
2. I copied the photos from the old phone to storage/sdcard0/dcim, but the new gallery can't find them. Any solution on this?
3. Actually mp3 files disappeared too.
5.1.1 no longer have the option to select where to store your photos, any work around, or should i use third camera and gallery app?
Thanks.

If you simply use a file exploer and go to Storage/DCIM you will have your photos in the correct place.
If you are using an apk like Root Explorer just go to SDCard/DCIM - (there is no SDCard0 that I know of. (unless you are trying to create a new folder there) Just put the new folder directly in SDCard directory and you should not have any issues. I have lots of personal photos and special ringtones I copied to the phone adn they all work fine. By the way, when I transfer audio files to any of my phones, it always asks me if I want to convert the file to a diffeent format - says if I don't it may not play correctly - I never do that - and they always work fine.
Good Luck - I hope I have helped in some small way

I understand - I am not sure why are having the issues you described - they didn't happen for me - and personally, i think this is one of the best Android Phones I have ever used. Love it,
yeah, now that i have my data pretty much transferred, maybe i should do a full back up and reset to factory setting. Not able to change the ringtone i've using for 10 years really bother me.....
Ok, i did a factory reset and start from scratch. I was able to setup a custom ringtone by putting the file in the same ringtone directory, and copied the photos to the DCIM folder. It actually worked for 10 hours. 10 hours later, when i deleted a whatsapp images from the Gallery app, the entire photos collections as well as my ringtone were gone, ringtone back to default setting. I think this is a bug, if anyone experience this, please share your experience.
Thanks
ok, read another forum and found a solution to change the ringtone file name to ring.mp3 and amusingly, the file show up on the list of ringtone and it works.
now the bug on why photos and music disappear still unsolved.
Custom ringtone problem
I renamed the file to ring.mp3 as you said but the note 5 is still saying can not set as ringtone. Help?

try to see if you have a .nomedia file on your storage card root directory.
what happen to my case was, i found a .nomedia in the storage card root "/sdcard/ .nomedia" so all medias were omitted.
Now that i have deleted the file, my mp3 player work correctly.
