Well, yes, only uImage and uRamdisk should have been updated in /boot

Well, the partitions are as follows:

p1 - /boot

p2 - /system (phiremod)

p3 - /data (phiremod)

p4 - extended partition

p5 - /system (honeycomb)

p6 - /data (honeycomb)

p7 - /sdcard

you won't see the 4th partition because it's an extended partition and the partitions following that are logical

Ok, that makes sense, so the altImage was not modified as expected, but i can't boot into HC either.

--jwortiz, can you boot into HC ???
[Nook Color Android Development] w8wca:
Just a quick Thank You to all involved here!

I first installed the Phiremod 6.2 and Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid-RC1 to a 4G uSD card

file = ph-hc-dualboot-sd-v0.2.img.zip

Booted to both just to check.

I resized the 7th partition to the full 4G uSD card size (in linux with gparted)

Copied the phiremod-nook-6.3-Dualboot-SD-Update.zip to that partition (sdcard)

and rebooted to recovery and installed it.

It all works fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Thank you for confirming that the update worked for you..

As for others that are having issue, I'm not sure what the problem could be. This doesn't touch your honeycomb build at all, so it shouldn't affect boot for HC. And I'm not sure why it's hanging at the "android_" screen for the Phiremod 6.3 update either. Only thing I can suggest is to flash the "phiremod 6.2 update" and see if that fixes it.

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] jwortiz:
Racks,

Honeycomb comes up fine. I guess something got "borked" during the update. I'll re-do it and see. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ernie999:
The same thing happened to me, but if you press the power button greater than 8 seconds to force a shut-down, when you power back on you see the update has installed. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work very well with many force-closes, un-loaded applets, etc. I see with the cpu speed setting program that it it's set to 600mhz, there are only 3,6,8,12 and 1300mhz to choose from (mine was originally set for 1100mhz) and neither 1200 or 1300mhz work, 1200mhz screws the video up and 1300mhz immediately crashes as soon as you apply it. The whole deal seems a great deal less stable that before. I rebooted into HC and it's the same as before, no change I can see.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
The kernel was included from Phiremod himself. If you want to change the kernel, you can use any of the .zips at my thread here. The kernel you would want to use is 4/18c, just make sure you use the Alsa update as well. I'm not 100% sure if it was baked into the kernel or just the /system. Flash the .zip's with the CWM recovery included with the dualboot-sd .img.

Regarding the FC'ing issue, you could try deleting the "dalvik-cache" folder in /data and reboot.

Thanks,

I have reloaded the 6.2 image on my card and tried again, with same results.

After flashing the 6.3 update my /system partition is corrupted. I cannot mount it in CWM nor can I format it.

if i try to apply the update again, format goes through without errors supposedly and install is completed successfully, however the /system is still corrupted even after second flash and i can't boot. Maybe its just my sd-card (16gb class 10 wintek) its "too fast" for its own good.

I was able to revive the /system with few fsck runs, but the copy of system is incomplete, so it's no good. I'll see if I can find another card to try this on ( I have a 4GB but it runs my Americandroid on HD2 ) I have been able to restore the data partition I have backed up with no problem (twice) so who knows, maybe it's the ext4 conversion that messes it up
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
Your sd is not 'too fast' quite likely the other. get yourself a sandisk class 2/4 which will blow it away and make sure you do an OVERWRITE format, NOT QUICK with SDformatter 3.0 as this will not overwrite stale data on the SD and may cause wackiness which I have confirmed a few times over a half dozen retries.

1. usa a sandisk sd........ period

2. format with overwrite, takes much longer but flushes all data.

3. burn the dual-boot ver 2, aka 6.2 phiremod.

4. boot into both independantly to confirm function.

5. extend 6th partition, or only other FAT using easeus

6. copy phiremod 6.3 update to your extended fat partition

7. boot into recovery and flash the 6.3 update

works like a champ every time as I have learned the drill by making this SD card for myself and 2 other NC users at work.....
[Nook Color Android Development] Invisman:
Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere in this thread, is the Honeycomb build 3.0 or the new 3.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
3.0 but very nice indeed.............
[Nook Color Android Development] peramikic:
I used an old 4 gigabyte kingston C2 card and it worked like a charm. Radio shack has a sale on sandisk 8 gigabyte card I'm gonna pick up a couple. These class 10 seem to have a problem with small block writes.
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
Let us know how it goes...... and yes the small block write is the killer when you try to run an OS from an external SD......

PS: you shouldnt need to reformat a new SD, I was referring to reusing an existing SD only...
[Nook Color Android Development] siskiou:
Could someone please put me out of my misery and tell me if I can flash a different OC kernel for this (1.1GHz) and if yes, where to find it and how to go about the flashing?

I've tried, but still only have the 1.2 and 1.3Ghz options.

Also, should Dalingrin's Nook Color tweaks work in phiremod? I get "force close" consistently whenever I try and open the app.

Amazon Appstore & Thank You

Hello Racks,

I am rather noobish but have had no problem installing your ROM and updating with the newer Phiremod and Honeycomb RC. Thanks a lot, this is all great fun. I also hit the thanks button on the other contributors you mentioned. And will throw some coin toward you all when cash flow loosens up. I wish Obama would wave that magic wand a little bit harder.

Been searching threads and finding answers to most of my questions. For now I just have one. I imagine I just need to throw a lever or apply more steam; but as is often the case I am missing the obvious. In Phiremod in particular I don't seem able to install the Amazon Appstore. "The requested item could not be found." What am I missing?

Their free App per day is compelling. Although skimming over their help and terms of service I did not find their return policy, such as Google has with the Android Marketplace.
[Nook Color Android Development] busyworked:
Oh and is there any way we can get the blue android loading screen back in Phiremod. Way cooler IMHO.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Unfortunately, the Amazon Appstore app is specific to the build fingerprint, at least that's what i believe. Your only option is to sideload the apk.

Regarding your question about the boot animation. Just replace the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with the previous one form Phiremod 6.2

If you have any other issues, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] busyworked:
OK, I got the Amazon Appstore "Market" to install or as they say "sideload."

There is a video detailing all this currently at:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000626391&ref=mas_gs

On website Allow One Click Purchases.

In Phiremod 6.3 Settings/Applications checked Unknown sources.

Provided email address, clicked link to download to Nook.

Ran the App from Download directory.

Input Amazon ID and password.

Downloaded and installed the free normally paid App of the day, "Grow."

Racks about the boot up animation;

I found the bootanimation.zip in my installed Phiremod 6.3 directory. But do not see how to extract from the 6.2 image file. Must it be installed to get access to this little gem?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
There is Phiremod 6.2Dualboot Update.zip in the OP, just download the zip and extract the bootanimation.zip from that folder and make sure to backup your current bootanimation and set the correct permissions on the one your replacing with.

I was wondering the same thing. Not so much to oc but it's the required kernel for the nook tweak app to adjust sound. Does the app work without any modification? The OP says don't load outside stuff and available kernel selection doesn't appear to be compatible with the tweak app. Hold my horses? Or are there other possible workarounds for sound adjustment?

Weird Issue

Hey Guys, I need a little help. I'm not a Noob for the most part, but I am having a really wierd problem with my SD Card & This rom, as well as just the honeycomb rom posted on this forum.

I just bought a 8GB Class 10 Card because I wanted to get Honeycomb on my nook color. I have used both winimage and win32diskimager to no avail. They both write the card fine at first glimpse. I put the card into the nook and it won't power on. I've tried holding the power button for like a minute and nothing. I have tried putting the rom on and then plugging the nook into computer without powering on (with card inserted) and nothing. I take the card out and it powers on OK.

Here is the wierd part. I put the SD card back into my computer and it says that the card only had 117MB of which 106MB is being used. WTF? I loaded easus partiition and i can't change the size at all. Then when I try to reformat using windows or sdformatter it will only reformat to 117MB? I had to use my wife's transform (for ease of use) and format the card in her phone. After that, presto card is back to a 7.46GB card.

Any takers on what the hell is going on? I am totally stumped. Is there something I am doing wrong while flashing, maybe a setting or something?
[Nook Color Android Development] busyworked:
NxlKing2304,

Dude its your card. Class 2 or 4 in a SanDisk is my recommendation. The onboard memory of the Nook Color is Sandisk. Your nifty Class 10 is probably wicked fast moving video or images around inside your camera. But in this case you apparently need fast small data write speeds.

Here is a thread all about it: and after that a link for a solid performer I am using. You can search through the thread for busyworked to find the test results for my 8GB and 16 GB. Blue6IX inspired me to search out the fastest known cards.

Android Boot Annimation

Here is the thread for a few colors of the animation and hints to how to install it. I failed to extract it from Racks 6.2 ROM, couldn't see it. So I had to do some digging.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985251

His flashing versions are too old. But the straight animations work. The hard part for me was getting the file system to let me change the attributes on the original. Superuser, mount the file?..sounds dirty. I used the free File Expert, from the Android Market. I am up waaaay to late. Sure there are easier ways to do it. But I can be pretty dense even on a good day.
[Nook Color Android Development] NxlKing2304:
I thought it was my card, but didn't know if I was like retarded or something. I'll try my 8GB class 2 and see what happens. Thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] NxlKing2304:
well, i tried a 8 gb class 2 sandisk and same thing happened. i'm gonna try anoter computer.
[Nook Color Android Development] NxlKing2304:
Tried in another computer and the same thing happen! I have the microsd card in a SD Card Adapter. Should I be using a USB device to do this? could that be screwing it up?
[Nook Color Android Development] busyworked:
Hmmm, I have three SD adapters and never stuck a card into them. More connections is never helpful but doubt that is the problem.

Some readers and perhaps writers are far better than others, and some are useless. I have had good luck with the following:

Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader FCR-HS219/1

On sale for $12.59 bucks from Amazon.

You might download a fresh copy of the ROM.

I do not have much experience in this myself but I can make a few more comments until someone else chimes in.

Use the Duel ROM, the 6.2, no point in doing the 6.1

"ph-hc-dualboot-sd-v0.2.img.zip";

You actually have 6 partitions but most are hidden. The exact programs I use:

Win32DiskImager 0.3-r27

EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition

WinArchiver

CrystalDiskMark

All from ZDNet or Download .com sites.

EASEUS Partition Master will show you the partitions that WinDiskImager will make. The partition named "sdcard" can be "Resized" by right clicking on it if memory serves me, the first option is "Resize/Move". A Slider will open up on the right side of it and slide it to the right till the end so you use up the remainder of the card for usable space. I Ended up with 5.43 GB. But this is not necessary until after you have booted up for the first time, it is just that you want the space.

As for booting it up in the first place, The first time the system boots it takes quite a while and reboots it self once or twice. This will take far longer than you will experience again. When starting the Nook pressing the power button you press until it clicks, hold there until a slight flash of the screen and then let go and wait.

After you are up and going it is easy to be confused about whether it is completely off or not. If the screen doesn't return after pressing the "n" button than it is completely off. Although I am finding there is no point in turning it off. the battery consumption is modest. And when just listening to books etc I just book into the Nook software that is even more conservative. Phiremod 6.3 is very good though.

Need a little help :-)

1st time user of Phiremod/Dual boot SD.

I flashed the ph-hc-dualboot-sd-v0.2.img.zip

and everything worked hunky-dory.

I then downloaded the Ph7 package, unzipped to get the three zip files, and copied them to the SDCARD (using Nook attached as mass storage).

Rebooted into SD/recovery, and selected the Ph7 update zip, and installed it. I then selected the gapps zip and installed it. Realised I should have unzipped further the launcher zip, but figured I would now be able to boot into Ph7, attach as mass storage, and unzip it.

However, when I reboot, I get a black screen.

Rebooting to eMMC or HC works fine still.

Where did I go wrong? Should I have installed the 6.3 update first? Does the launcher restore need to be done before rebooting?

Easy breezy! Just download the latest OC kernel from Dalingrin's thread. Just make sure you download the SD flashable zip and not the EMMC. And flash via the CWM-SD as you did with the rom. Then download Dalingrin's Nook Tweaks app from Market. Just make sure you don't set on 'boot', just in case your nook candle handle the extreme awesomeness of dalingrins' kernel. :D

Racks,

If I was on cm7 with verygreens size agnostic bootloader / recovery, do I have to do something different for your latest zip, or can I also just drop it in? Something tells me its not that simple.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Well, you shouldn't use any zips from this thread for that. This is setup for the dualboot-SDrom only. You could just download the zip from phiredrop's thread and try placing the .zip in the /boot partition. Only thing is I believe that his zips are too large to fit.

So only other way is to goto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=998861 and follow directions on flashing to SD. Only thing is once you flash Phiremod it will replace VG's installer with J4mm3r's boot menu.

No recovery???

New to the Nook Color, just got my wife one for her birthday on 6/22, so forgive me for the noob questions. I've had my EVO 4G rooted for nearly a year now, but the NC is a whole different beast.

So I downloaded the ph-hc-dualboot-sd.img.zip from the OP, followed the instructions to the letter, & now have the NC dual booting Phiremod v6.1 & HC v4 2nd Edition off the SD card(San-Disk 16GB Class 4). Honestly it was a very painless procedure start to finish. :D

However, it seems like I either missed something, or skipped a step, or something. I cannot get into recovery at all, not to wipe caches, make a nandroid, flash a kernel, nothing, nada, zip. I tried flashing a recovery from ROM Manager, it says it was successful, but I still have no recovery. I cannot get to the bootloader either. So, I see there are other .img & .zip files in the OP, which one(s) do I need to get my recovery up & running?

And, or, which is actually the latest?

Great work by the way, I only wish my EVO had been this easy to modify without the risk of creating a brick! :D

Edit: I did some more reading & figured out how to use the (multi)u-boot. I didn't realize you can't boot to recovery from the OS' via the 3-in-1 reboot, or from ROM Manager. Did this change in the newer versions?

It'd be nice to be able to utilize the automation that ROM Manager provides since ClockworkMod is the only recovery option.

Can anyone help me with making RockPlayer the default video player?

I have been trying to stream my .avi files using FileManager app. I set it up to see me server with my videos.

I select my video and open it with DolphinHD, which then opens up RockPlayer and the movie plays.

However after the first connect and I try the next video it doesn't let me play.

When I select to open with DolphinHD it says the SystemPlayer can't play this file.

I know it only works the first time and never the second time and ever again.

I tried to play directly to RockPlayer but it doesn't work.

How can I get System Player to default to RockPlayer?
