OK, flashing to the newest nightly didn't fix the flash. I wiped the cache before flashing, but I couldn't find anything labelled "dalvik".

Is there a different rom for the mt3gs that might be more suitable? Otherwise, no flash isn't too huge a dealbreaker, though it's a bummer when she goes out with friends and they want to take all those "let's smile at the camera in a huddle" pictures girls like to do.
Thing is, a search of the xda thread and my experience says that shouldn't be an issue.

Also wipe Dalvik is under Advanced for some reason in Clockwork Recovery.

I only have the free version of Clockwork so no advanced options. I couldn't find anything on XDA about the issue either.

Also, her battery is rapidly draining and the phone is really hot since I went up to the nightly, so I'm going back to 7.0.3 stable.

You have to boot directly into Recovery to find the advanced option he's talking about. Doing things through ROM Manager is actually fairly restrictive when all's said & done.

Maybe I'm just completely paranoid about the process of swapping ROMs. While you can tell ROM Manager to reboot into recovery, its automated option to install a different ROM doesn't feel right to me. I want to ensure that all requisite wipes have been done before a new ROM is flashed in.

You're being paranoid. Every ROM Manager command is a recovery command. You even see them being done. You're OG enough to be comfortable with recovery operation so that's fine but i assure you ROM Manager is very convenient and reliable.

Its even got options for multiple zip flashes in a single go. :)

Holy poo poo getting CM7 on this Nook is frustrating.

Step 1: Prepare a MicroSD card to boot the Nook Color into Clockworkmod recovery. Put the CM7 and gapps or other rom of your choice on it.
Step 2: Boot the Nook Color into Clockworkmod recovery from the MicroSD card.
Step 3: Do a Nandroid backup of the stock rom.
Step 4: Format system, cache, data, etc. manually.
Step 5: Install the new rom from clockwork. For CM 7, install gapps, too.
Step 6: Remove the SD card and reboot.

Yeah, I don't have that option in advanced. It looks like the version of Clockwork on the market is old though, so that may be it.

Either way, she's happy with it on 7.0.3 without the flash working, and she wants me to just leave it alone now, so :shrug:.

Hmm yup, that's exactly what I've been doing, with not one but two NC's now. The only other idea I can come up with is maybe it's an issue with my MicroSD card (running CM7 off the card is like a 10 second lag whenever it writes a file) or an issue with the NC being that new "Blue Dot" partitioning scheme but that's not supposed to be a problem. I'll try with a "quality" SD card and see what happens.

Oh, you're running CM off the SD card instead of flashing it? Don't. If you must run it from a SD card, only use sandisk cards. Don't get caught up in "class" ratings.

I thought you decided to go with emmc? It would be my recomendation as well, also it seems I ran across a script on xda where you could easy peasy one step flash back to stock 1.2 with clockwork intact or stock out of the box, if that was your concern. If you elect to dual boot off the card, sorry, I haven't gone there....yet, as it stands now nothings broke on my Nookie so i'm gettin' kinda bored :)

This is true! Sandisk seems to have the greatest success with Nooks, (fwiw internal memory on PCB is sandisk) however i'm using PNY 8gig class 6 ($14 on sale woohoo!) without problems. Format your card using Windows, if no joy grab a Sandisk card, if your in a hurry and in the US Fred Meyer carries Sandisk.

This is the method I used to get CM nightlys on the emmc (blue dot), super simple worked the first time without any problems whatsoever, took about 10 minutes. Also I would recommend you leave the internal partitions alone even though you'll have 1gig of unusable space, your life will be so much better in the event you have to flash back to stock.

I realize there's alot of hate around here for xda, but if you can wade through the crap there is lots of vauable info, and pretty much any problem you might have has already been figured out! Git yer boots on and go lol :)

Spare Parts' "Battery History" tab is completely broken and just force closes on all gingerbread builds I believe? That's how it's been on every rom I've used on my Incredible at least, maybe it's just this device. Huge pain in the rear end because I usually see ~400ma drain on my phone using Synergy even in airplane mode all the time and cannot for the life of me track it down, but if Battery History in SP worked I'm almost certain finding out what it is would be insanely simple.

So I've been having a minor annoyance that's gotten more annoying in the past week: screen sensitivity.

Summary: screen sensitivity is all hosed up, Evo 4g, CM7/MIUI, hardware issue?

I've got an Evo 4G that I picked up just over a year ago and occasionally the lock screen would seize up or a touch wouldn't register but now it's gotten ridiculous. When I type the keyboard only registers about 3 key presses every 2 seconds and Swype will segment often enough to make nonsense paragraphs when the trail isn't getting stuck on the right hand side between P and backspace.

The lock screen will gently caress up and other presses don't register well/at all most of the time now too, mostly occurring on the right side of the screen.

I'm concerned that it's more of a hardware issue since this happens both in MIUI and CM7.1 RC-1 and the tiny, tiny chip in the corner will make Sprint squawk about "user damage" and "insurance not covering it" or "$100 deductible" but I know original Evos had screen issues from day 1.

Anyone have any ideas?

I dunno about CM7 but partial wake usage doesn't work on most gingerbread builds afaik. I found a program called betterbatterystats on xda which shows partial wakelocks and has helped enormously, it's now available on the market but there's probably still a free version on the forums somewhere.

So I flashed back to rooted stock and ran the screen calibration (isn't that unnecessary with a capacitive screen?) and the accelerometer calibration but it doesn't seem to do much from how it looks. Where is the usability check?

Not sure about your other questions, but I believe the calibration is so the keyboard can adapt to your typing style (i.e. if you tend to hit above the space bar, it will invisibly increase the "hit zone" for the space bar upwards) rather than any kind of hardware calibration. It doesn't apply to anything other than the HTC Sense keyboard.

I think it's the gingersense roms that break spare parts on the inc. I did run cm7 for a little when it was just rolling out gingerbread but don't recall if it worked there, probably though. If I try using "spare parts plus" from the market instead of FCing it spits out an error saying "Could not find battery stats activity in your rom!" so I think it just isn't supported. I'll try and find that "betterbatterystats" on xda that was mentioned though.

e: of course, it's a paid app and doesn't show up on the market for me.

e2: grabbed it off the market site.

Supposedly networking kinda works if you flash the kernel in that post, but honestly it still won't be worth using. Just do a full nandroid backup, wipe everything, flash the MIUI image, and dick around for a bit getting blue balls cause it looks and feels so much better than Sense.

You'll probably have to battery pull and Power+Vol Down to get back into recovery mode to flash back to your daily driver rom; reboot in MIUI didn't work for me.

OK, so I finally decide to give MIUI a try on my Inspire instead of just upgrading to the latest Virtuous Unity. Installation goes fine and the ROM itself looks very nice. Cool, I think to myself, time to start restoring things with Titanium Backup! Only due to MIUI's lack of an app drawer I can't actually find the drat thing. I reinstalled it from the Market, and I can go into the program management area of my settings menu and see that the program exists and is installed, but I can't figure out how to actually run the drat thing...

Aaaand as I'm typing this I figure it out :v: So now my question becomes, is it normal to have to install something from the market, then browse to the APK through the File Explorer and install it again to get it to show up on the desktop? I want to give MIUI a fair shake before running back to my nice familiar Sense 3.0 ROMs and I'm wondering if I did something incorrectly here.

People still using the HTC Incredible: can you get an app such as Battery Monitor and tell me what kind of mA drain you're typically seeing? I've got an app polling every minute and I never seem to see it draining <300mA. Thought it was just related to a rogue app or Sense 2.1/3.0 Hybrid rom with a stock kernel but I switched back to CM7 and MIUI for a little this past week and I'm seeing the same terrible battery life. Wondering if maybe my batteries are all shot or if there may be something wrong with the device, because it's been doing this for awhile.

I don't think it's the Battery Monitor app from polling despite the frequency, because my terrible battery life lead to me getting that. Everything else that syncs is set to either the largest gap, typically once a day, or set to be completely manual.
