As this is moving at a pretty rapid pace, DM, the one thing I hope that can stay true is the OP.

There seems to be a lot of links floating around today in this thread and I honestly didn't know what I should be downloading vs. what I should not be messing around with. I am all for community contribution, but we need a place we can call gospel and that is the OP. I know you have a life outside of XDA, but hoping you can keep up with the frantic lunacy that I so love about this community.

For now, I am going to the OP for the latest build and I am not going to stray off course with other posts. Even mirrors should be in the OP, if they exist, and not just tucked on away on some random post.

Great work today all...been fun watching this HC build quickly take shape. Even more amped for the prospects that tomorrow brings....
[Nook Color Android Development] dung8604:
DM, you're giving me lots of hope for a HoneyComb future. I tried the ROM and what you have been able to do is nothing short of fantastic. I will be anxiously awaiting more stable releases. Thanks a lot!
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
If someone could explain the difference between a base and a build it would be greatly appreciated. Ive assumed from the beginning theirs a base release then people build onto it to create their personal roms. i don't beg to get donations but i do spend some time on my builds\releases try out the RF2 of 2.2 i compiled everything i found to be stable into a easy to use 2.2 "build" and 3.0. As for selling i am only selling a instruction manual not anyone's hard work. Additionally the rom i have built/compiled for download is free and not in anyway being charged for in any of my videos. I got attacked about this before if you guys want I have no problems plastering you guys names in my description for the base build Im using both 3.0 and 2.2 but no one ever asked they just reamed me for selling a manual when clearly there are people from here on ebay selling premade SD cards for insane prices making money off just the base and not even taking the time out like i did to compile together a stable custom build. I never sold on ebay and I really don't wish for this thread to get taken over by this as previous threads have can we please stay on topic and if anyone has anything to say to me PM me. Finally Ill add that nowhere did I ever say this was "my" base build I did however note this was not HC v4.

I revises the YT video with the following description ;

Just a small update showing the capability of Honeycomb on Nook Color. This is NOT HC-v4 this is build off the base image by Divine_Madcat and Deeprblue
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
The smaller the LCD Density is, the smaller the icons and text is going is going to appear (so you can see more stuff). The bigger the LCD Density is, the bigger the icons and text is going to appear (you will see less stuff on the screen, so you will have less room for putting icons on your home screen).

You are right, things are smaller on this rom (LCD density of 120) than on deeper-blue's rom (LCD density of 140), which itself is smaller than CM7 (LCD Density of 161).
[Nook Color Android Development] sigma0824:
If I upgrade to RC3 when it is released will it erase my data (apps, settings etc.)
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Apparently so. I asked the OP that question and he anticipates that all updates will wipe system and data to eliminate issues. His thought is that will be the case until it becomes more stable.
[Nook Color Android Development] lalleyne:
I flashed the zip with CWM, it was stuck in a bootloop until I cleared the cache and Dalvik cache. When it loaded it was really cool (first time trying out HC), however I tested shutting down and rebooting a few times and each time got stuck in another bootloop, first time clearing cache again worked but after that couldn't get it past bootloop, so flashed back to MN 1.2

I didn't see a boot animation, is there one in this image?

A couple of these threads have popped up now. So I want to ask if you have tried going into settings -> Storage and mounting the SDCard. I am pretty sure it is not auto-mounting right now, but that has worked for me. (Though if it was in at boot it has auto-mounted before)
[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
+1 I have had the same problems (NOT using the xboxexpert build). I keep having lockups, the market is only barely working, I've had so many failed reboots I feel that I'm gettin dangerously close to the "8 failed" limit, and the whole thing is really laggy.

I have to say, however, I am looking forward to when this build is a little more stable because I like what I'm seeing. For now, though, I keep going back to Phiremod......;)
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Market is still a little sketchy, but as far as lockups go, I'm not getting any. I changed to a third party launcher and the screen lockups disappeared. I had no failed reboots. Hazards of a beta type build!
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
The standard android boot animation is part of this build

PEOPLE WITH SD PROBLEMS:

i had this issue too, and it turned out to be a partition problem.

I backed up my card on my pc, went into recovery, formatted sdcard then partitioned sdcard in the advanced option, now it mounts no problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] ZombieOverlord:
The problem I have with that they seem to want to wipe your device. You don't have to do that.

What I propose will put Phiremod on the second partition and HC on the primary.

1. Get CWM (I use it on an SDCard)

2. get prep-dualboot & flashable zip to move stock eclair from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959461

3. boot into CWM

4. go to mounts and storage make sure sdcard is mounted DO NOT FORMAT anything

5. exit (use power button) and go to install zip from sd

6. choose zip from sd

7. select prep-dualboot

8. when that finishes select eclair-to-dualboot - when this finishes you will have 2 copies of your primary OS

9. install HC (onto primary partition)
[Nook Color Android Development] LarcenQ:
Well, I'm not sure what these other people mean by 'can't see my sdcard'. However, in my experience, mine can be seen and I can browse it, use items from it, etc using a file browser like ES or Astro.

HOWEVER! Programs, such as LauncherPro can't backup/restore settings to/from the sdcard. For example, if I go into LP's settings and do a 'backup' then it says 'Successfully backed up to /sdcard/LauncherPro_backup' However, nothing is written to the sdcard. Same with 'restoring' it says success, but when manually placing the other poster's backed up settings on the sdcard via adb push it doesn't actually read the backup file.

Anyway..

My overall assessment is positive. This is a solid start, I've had a few programs force close on me, but it was minute enough for me not to care enough to remember. Installing from market has been carefree, and overall performance has been comparable to CM7 and Stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] chaval:
EDIT:I was wrong. If you remove youtubetablet and install youtube from the market, SD works.

Really hope someone knows how to improve movie playback.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
Through all the negative I present a build that I modified to suite my needs. Feel free to test it out below.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5NU4MLOL

I removed the STOCK launcher and replaced it with launcher pro off market. I haven't gotten any FC's or freezing even when using the switcher.

The BEST Settings for Laucher Pro are listed below;

Home Screen:
Number of screens set to 7
Default Screen set to 4

Dock Settings:
Number of Docks set to 1

Behavior Settings:
Home Key Action set to Open/Close app drawer
Check the box for Home key to default screen

Advanced Settings:
Uncheck Elastic scrolling
Drawer columns portrait set to 5
Drawer columns landscape set to 8
Opening Speed set to 7

Restart Launcher Pro & Enjoy!
[Nook Color Android Development] LarcenQ:
Thanks. Other than the stated launcher change, what else has been modified?
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
The Gmail and Calendar fix's were added and market seems to work very well with the Xoom data in build.prop - That's all for today I really have to focus on work and don't forget guys/girls MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND!

Thanks for the OP and others that made this all possible. This is based off the base build that was released I have had no part in the release of the SDK just building on top of it and adding fix's for users that are just visiting this thread getting into HoneyComb. I'll try and keep it updated as much as I can. OP do you want me to create my own thread or keep posting in this one?

UPDATE: I added the best settings for Launcher Pro also listed below

Market

I'm having an issue with the Market. The market itself works, I've modified the build.prop to think it's a xoom, but it's not letting me download tablet specific apps (Google body, Google Earth, etc...).

Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Just saw this, db it's great to see you post in these parts! You've done so much for boosting our little nook and I've missed seeing you around here.
[Nook Color Android Development] Oskiee:
What can i do about making this think less slow? Im loveing HC, but my god waiting 20 seconds for everything is annoying as hell.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
Its the launcher it consumes too much resources. Try with launcher pro it runs really well.
[Nook Color Android Development] Oskiee:
Thank you, I installed ADW EX, cause i have it bought, biiiig difference... but now im sad now, i LOVE the stock launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
I think the actual 9mb stock launcher can be compressed or what not to make it run better. I'm not sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Hey some great stuff here really thanks.

Quick question though since this is based off the .29 kernel I am correct assume that this rom also has the no sleep issue ?

Pavlos
[Nook Color Android Development] LarcenQ:
Well. I don't think mine slept last night between the hours of 11:00PM and 6:30am like I did, however, it only consumed 1.37%/hr during said time. SO! Not as bad as CM7, not as good as Stock.

Can't win all the time.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
I charged mine up last night while the unit was off I've had it in sleep all day and its at 99% after 5 hours...unless the battery percentage is off in the build I'd say its pretty nice.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Yeah, no sleep option on this one.

EDIT: Like others have said though, battery life seems to be a lot better on this build.

oh. It took so long to boot I walked away for a while, came back and pressed the home button and got the setup screen.
[Nook Color Android Development] declain:
Should be just the first boot. Noticed that as well. Second boot after powering off was much quicker.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigwilly90210:
Hey guys, I really like this ROM and all, but this is now the second time I've hit 8 failed boots and had to reinstall. Both times just after I got everything set up. Maybe it's my copy of ADW EX? I'm going to try removing the stock launcher and using LauncherPro right off the bat this next time. Unless these random lockups get fixed (and therefore the failed reboots) I'm not sure I can use this everyday. Am I doing something wrong from the install? I'm on stock Nook 1.1 and then I just use a CWR sd card to install this right over. Is there anything else I should be doing? :S

Really can't wait till this gets more work done on it. I'm gonna give xboxguy's build a quick flash to see if it's any better. Just to be fair. :P Other than that, I know it won't be long till the community pulls together a totally kickass stable ROM. This is just insane how fast this is going! Top job guys really!

Hope DivineMadcats can keep up with the madness though... it can get out of hand really quick! Thanks for everything DM and good luck!!! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] bigwilly90210:
I also forgot to mention, even from the first boot my Nook does the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen (which does anyone know how to change/remove that???) then the screen goes off for like a second, then comes on black and flashes then does the stock android boot animation. Idk what's going on but I'm pretty sure every boot is a failed boot... which totally blows. lol. Am I the only one with this issue? Did I just install it wrong? If xboxw/e's version doesn't work over stock I'm just going to restore my DB HC v4 eMMC and then install over that... I guess... any suggestions? lol. Hard to test when I'm reinstalling every 9 hours... haha
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
My 2 cents....

I see your builds akin to that of Phiremod for CM7....same base, but Phiredrop adds his own tweaks and mods that he liked and it caught on. He has his own thread.

The other thing is, this thread is moving extremely fast, as my Gmail inbox can atest, and your links are apt to get buried. Having your own thread, where you can keep the OP updated with your releases would ensure that the community will see it and can keep track of your latest builds.

This OP could just stay as it is, with updates to it as needed, but with keeping it to the original as much as possible (stock launcher, YT Tab app, etc).

If I am getting this all wrong, then I will apologize up front, as I am not a dev, just an avid fan and end-user. I for one certainly appreciate anyone's time and effort that will go towards making the NC the best Android tab in its class!
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Sounds like a typical boot from B&N, as you would not want to erase the /boot when installing this version of HC. When HC EMMC v1 came out back in February, it was advised in the OP to erase boot, but then that got quickly changed in v2.

Now, if you are not able to boot into HC after flashing the build, then yes, you have a problem, but doesn't sound like it is the actual boot partition giving you fits...from what I read in your post.

[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:

[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Wow.. i never realized this thread would quite balloon like it did here. Anyway, for those eagle eyed folks out there, i have updated the OP with v3. this is a minor update, though does bring some needed changes. Namely, /data is no longer wiped, and some misc cleanup has been done.

I think it is probably fair to say that mods of this version should be in different threads, to help avoid confusion. General improvements however should keep coming here, so they can be placed in the base release.

Anyway, keep on enjoying it all guys!
[Nook Color Android Development] jaysckap:
Man your a beast, thanks for picking this up. Keep up the good work!
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
Note: With DPU set to 140 the Tablet Market gets compressed and looks kinda bad. I ended up puttin it back to 120 and dealing with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] altimax98:
Nope no good. Ive tried mounting it in the settings and no luck. Nothing sees the SD card no apps or system. I was running a dual boot, so im going to go back and wipe all and then start again from the beginning with RC3 and see what happens. I was having little issues in the setup area too.
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
What can I do if I only have a 2gb card to spare and don't need/want phiremod?

I just want this on an SD card like deeper-blue's builds. There is no way I'm touching my eMMC install for this, why is it so difficult to try it out on SD?

Reinstalled the build and still had the SD error. Partitioning the card worked, but it sucked to lose half the space. Hopefully sometime soon it will work right, it also wont autoload if i take it out when the device is running.

the one thing i really miss is the settings bar that comes up when you drag the time on the lower right corner up. it appears slightly if i click outside the area, but then it goes away

I've cleaned the thread of flaming.

Things that are outside of XDA are not something we can action on, or will action on. If your discussion is about something outside of XDA, keep it outside of XDA.

Thread about running from SD card, including install for this Honeycomb port:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=998861
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
Since my initial struggles with xboxexpert's build, I've had the RC2 release running twice now (we'll get to why in a second). For whatever reason, it runs much better - but I really don't think I should have to install a non-stock launcher in order for a ROM to work (my $0.02).

Beyond that, I've unfortunately landed the 8 failed boots, twice now.

Installing from a bootable CWM 3.0.1 SD card. Wiped system/data each time.

Oh well, I guess this is what Nandroid backups are for. Will watch with enthusiasm over developments, but for now I'll be moving back to Phiremod.

It's unfortunate that the best parts of both the last DB build and these can't somehow be merged together, because that, and performance increases, are basically all I think I need for this to become a DD.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Actually, in first making this rom, one of the first things i did was a comparison between the base preview SDK, and DB's V4, and grab every change that i could. This includes the custom ram disk and the kernel.

However, the preview SDK is moderately different than the release SDK, so even though almost every fix from V4 is now there (i can't think of any features that were in there that pretty much aren't in here), other things (renderscript i believe, for instance) act differently, and (i think DB will agree with me), more/different fixes are needed.

Installed this on the wifes Nook last night, very nice. But since she wouldn't be able to access her library, I had to put 1.2 back on. I didn't see anything where HC will support the library in reading this thread, will it?

I'm with racks. I moved stock 1.2 to a spare SD for the moments my gf (for some reason) wants to go back to stock. She freaking loves Honeycomb though and is totally impressed with how fast this is getting upgraded. Best part is she doesn't mind me flashing a new ROM every couple of hours! lol. Thanks guys, I'm flashing RC3 right now! Any word on the lockups?
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
And I absolutely don't mean to slight the work you've done in the least - so apologies if I come across as hypercritical, because at the very least I understand how complicated work like this is.

I guess I just assume that when there's a work in progress like this, the end goal is a fully functional and usable ROM for the end user, who may many times not understand the scope of the fixes he/she demands (namely, me).

To that end, I guess I just think raising the issues that are of importance to an end user would be of greater value than a "Thanks, awesome" response.

Regardless, you're doing work right now that a lot of people, myself included, have been dying to see return. If the thread length wasn't any indication, let me be the first to point out that you're XDA-Nook's newest folks hero. :p

Sorry if this has been asked already. But do we have to format system and data if we're upgrading to the latest release. From the previous one.

[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
@arrjaytea - Make no mistake, i wasn't bothered. I cannot work on fixing issues if i don't know about them. :)

That said, i just wanted to point out that the sum base of this work was DB's fixes, so it looks like even further fixes will be required for DD status. Will we get there.. depends on how often we see DB; lets face it, I am not half the coder that he is. :) Will i keep working on it regardless? You bet your ass. :)

BTW - i will also agree that Replacing Launcher 2 with something like ADW or Launcher Pro + has a significant impact, and is worth looking into.

If you are coming from rc1 or rc2, rc3 will format system, but will leave /data alone. This means all your programs and settings will stay intact. If you run into oddities though, you may want to at least remove the dalvik cache, and possibly wipe data if it is no help.
[Nook Color Android Development] kookahdoo:
I haven't commented, but I've been following this thread since the first post. I must say that I haven't had any problems with anything the OP has put out. I see the fixes and wait for OP to update.

I don't depend on my NC for too much other than to use while I'm at home, so my Tbolt can rest...haha.

So for me, even though this ROM has minor issues, it's great for my needs. I'll definitely be following and contributing as much as I can.

Thanks again DM.
