Apoc

I recently went through rooting my NC from an SDcard. First with the nightlys and last with the 7.0.3 CM7 stable build.

I'd say, if you want low maintenance and quick setup, go with the CM7 7.0.3 Stable release.

Here are the steps I took to install CM7/GApps and run from the SDcard - I'll try to make this as seamless and possible: Sorry about the absence of links, I haven't reached the post limit to enable hyperlinking in my replies. Maybe some kind forum poster can post my links in a reply...

1. Download and Unzip this program to a directory (doesn't need installed)

Win32DiskImager V0.1:

2. Download your SDcard Image, CM7 Build, and GApps zip:

- "Size Agnostic" Generic SD-Image:

- Latest STABLE CM7 Release (not the nightly)

- GApps zip for latest build (CM7)

3. Buy a greater than 2gB MicroSD card (I have an 8GB PNY microSD)

4. Connect MicroSD card to computer

5. Extract Generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.zip to local folder

6. Burn generic-sdcard.img to SD card using the following steps

- Open win32diskimager

- Select generic-sdcard.img for image file

- Select microSD card drive letter for Device (should be auto selected)

- Click "Write" to write image to the microSD card

- After image is applied to microSD, close win32 disk imager

7. Remove microSD card and re-connect to computer

8. Copy CM7 and GApps .zip files to microSD drive

- This will be the main microSD drive, like I:\

- Do not extract the .zips, just copy the whole files

9. Remove microSD card and insert into TURNED OFF Nook Color

10. Hold power button on Nook Color until the screen flashes, then let go

11. Read the screen, it will bring up a terminal with installation progress... it will inflate the CM7 files to the SDcard, then shut off.

12. After shutdown, keep the SD in the nook, turn the nook back on.

13. You'll see an android pop up and finally get to some prompts

- Hit next, skip the part with linking your google account (for now)

- Enable Wireless and Connect to your Router

- Follow the rest of the prompts

- Eventually hit the home screen

14. Your CM7 install is done! If you turn off the NC, remove the SD card, and turn back on the NC... you'll be greeted with the stock V1.3 nook color

15. If you check the apps and don't see Google Apps (GApps) or the market follow these steps:

- While in CM7, hold the power button until a prompt comes up

- Click REBOOT

- Click RECOVERY

- Click OK

- Your NC will now restart and show that console setup again (like before when you installed CM7)... it will install the GApps and market... and shut down.

- Turn back on your NC, check your apps, see the Market, Click it, link your Google Account.

That should be it. Sorry for the long-winded install, thats about as basic as I can put it.

Cheers!

Thank you for the assistance. Your instructions proved a bit more enlightening. I used the latest stable version and have it working fine. (I even played FF7 for awhile.) My only current problem is bluetooth. It fails to enable when I tell it to.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
I would go with the latest nightlies. They are *way* past the stable with a lot of very positive improvements. I've been running nightlies (starting with 128) for around 2 months now with zero issues. You don't have to keep updating them - they are very, very stable already.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Sometimes the first time you run bluetooth, you have to turn off WiFi, reboot, turn on bluetooth, and then turn on WiFi. I only had to do it once and both toggled properly forever after.

I'll second the recommendation of grabbing a nightly build--they're no higher maintenance or less stable than 7.0.3, and they greatly simplify things like overclocking, improving audio gain, and USB host via compatibility with the Nook Tweaks app. They also enable deep sleep which means less charging, boot considerably faster, and have built-in multiboot, to name a few things.

Request to rom cookers.kindly include proxy support in your roms as most of the work places, universities provide network access through proxies

I'm a big fan of text icons on the dock bar... I've always done it with templates and photoshop, until now.

Here is the app:

Here is a screenshot of about 2 minutes using the app.... way too easy. I find myself making text icons all the time now.

[HTC EVO 3D] theinfmousone:
Been trying to update ota and I can never do it because when the phone shuts itself off and boots up again a blue android with a exclamation point inside a triangle pops up. I let it sit there for hours but nothing. Phone is rooted. Does that have something to do with it not updating?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Might be but do you have a custom recovery like twrp
[HTC EVO 3D] meslowlos:

Yep, tried again and same error. Any advice?
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
If you are rooted why would you want to update? Did you root with Revolutionary tool? What HBOOT are you on? What Rom are you running?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
I don't know why you would want to update if your rooted but I've heard that you need the stock recovery in order to do a firmware update. Could be wrong. Just throwing it out there.
[HTC EVO 3D] theinfmousone:
Well I heard the the upgrade had better 4g signals. And yes, I used the revolutionary method. Stock ROM that came with the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Why nit just wait a day it two for the devs to update their ROMs with the current HTC update, or the radio thread? I never understood why people risk loosing root or what ever for a minor maintenance update.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtkbee:
Screen is way too big. Really have to wonder if they think it will sell well.

I found it hard getting use to 4.2 inches (4.0 with sgs was perfect).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaximus:
I will upgrade with pleasure . Don't think it is really that big ;). Think about what is inside of it. Think about it like it is a little computer with a phone function. Would you prefer to take your laptop or a little bit overgrown multimedia device that gives you so much? I love my SG2 and if it grows a little... Huh... So be it. There will be more to love ;-).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbkmog:
I'd probably wait for nexus prime next. The upgrade of this one is too incremental to worth a full upgrade from an already top of the line phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
If I get a refund for my S2 and if they upped the quality on the screen then I would get this instead.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buxz777:
its not really an upgrade is it?? it is just an lte version of the sgs2 :-)

i wont be rushing to buy it , there will always be better devices coming , the sgs2 is still a lot more powerfull then pretty much every phone on the market

imagine what will be coming in 6-12 months time?? thats when i would think about upgrading :-)

quad core is just round the corner and it looks immense i wont be rushing out to buy another dual core when i already have a top of the range one and with tech moving so fast both will be outdated in 6 months when quad core hits the market :-)

its just my opinion but unless you need a screen that is slightly bigger why would you bother ''upgrading'' to this???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicpol7:
Galaxy s was the perfect size for me..s2 is large enough for my taste..no way to buy a 4,5 screen size phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
its 0.2" bigger. I dont think very much bigger. The rounded edges is going to give advantage and the size wont look more compared to Original SGS22..

It definitely looks much better than Original. Its designed like Glaxy S and I liked the shape of that one. The back cover looks the same as the original one. they didnt mention more about the Display, but battery wise its a big advantage too.

The good thing is that it would slash down the price of Original SGS2...

I thought this was supposed to be announced at IFA...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoobzone:
Too soon, would rather wait at least until Nexus Prime before upgrading.

No thank you, I don't need a tablet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Meh, maybe if audio recording is better then on sgs2 (which shouldn't be too hard).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenguinpower:
will wait next year. There will be LTE advanced Galaxy S3. Besides I have invested on accessories for S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
So S2-Plus in Nov and S3 in Jan-Feb?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketpaul:
doesnt look as good as the sgs2 imo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
It's just too soon. I plan to have SGS2 at least for 2 years.

But 4.5" ? I'm fine with that. I'm starting to feel my SGS2 is a bit small :D

Upgrade it no but consider to buy it for my wife:)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MS.:
For me even 4.3" is a bit too big, so 100% no for 4,5" screens from me. I'd say 4" is a sweet spot for mobile phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrabcx:
Bigger screen ... . but most of the rumors seem to indicate that the resolution is still the same as for S2 at 800×480.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemox77:

wait for resolution announcement
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onbacardi:
There is a lot to wait for...

Personally wait list... 2g dual, res bump, better media chip and a 10mp camera.

Damn I don't have money coming out of my asss to afford upgrades every 3-6 months.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Same thoughts. Although I'm already used to the size of the phone (the slimness and lightness helped a lot), I would still prefer a 4" screen. It's just perfect for a phone.

I'd also like to keep my sgs2 for 2 years at least. Atm it has all that I need, so until then I'm fine with it. Also I would like to see a different technology for the camera, which puts more importance to the quality of images rather than just increasing the megapixels. Yes, I know that's already being done, and it's hard, and it's quite good already, but as long as the camera "hole" stays the same (very small), we won't have non-telephone looking pictures.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyshush:
no, the Nexus Prime should be better
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishTaco:
I'll probably pass on the S II LTE, the processor is much faster along with the data speeds. I'll stick with my old gen S II.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Only a quality 3D version would tempt me to upgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
for me bigger screen better !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsaintzx:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Not a chance. I'm keeping this phone for a year or two.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomisunrider:
Too big for a pocket.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenguinpower:
its a small increment. No thanks but I will get it with 4.6 to 5.2 inch. That would be gigantic. And then I will bulk it.up with extended battery.

LTE advanced (not just LTE), ice cream sandwich and around 5 inch.screen, quad core processor. That will be my next upgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Arkham:
Bigger battery, bigger screen, faster CPU, aluminum back, NFC, LTE, and possible resolution increase.

It's at least enough to wait and see. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
50-50. If the resolution is improved I probably will - my hands are certainly big enough for the extra 0.2".

Removing the Samsung logo would give the necessary real estate. Then of course Apple would sue for infringement of blank-space-above-screen patents..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohitgarewal:
I want NFC, bigger battery and a higher resolution screen...would need those three for me to upgrade (hopefully nexus prime :-)).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
4.3 is already pushing it. I probably wouldnt have purchased this phone if it werent soo damn fast.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
My country doesn't even have 3G well, so LTE? lol.

And yes, no way a Phone should be bigger than 4". GSII is 4.27", already damn big. And 1.5 GHz? Well I think at least 10K member in this forum are running theirs on 1.6 GHz. So, lol again.

But yes I do like the Bigger battery and Aluminum back cover part, but they ain't even close enough for an update!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickliq:
Samsung seriously need to increase the screen res and not the physical size of the screen. At least a qHD ... HTC and Moto have had this for 6 months! I'm running a DPI hack on my SGS II otherwise everything is enormous, what's the point of an even larger physical screen with the same old resolution?

I might upgrade just to get rid of the *#$#£ home key, if they release if with Ice Cream Sandwich. A front panel only made of edge to edge big screen and all the keys on the touchscreen is a dream come true.

Of course I'll check before I buy if they have solved the Android OS bug. If it's still there, my next phone is going to be an HTC.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freemini:
I'm basically hours from getting a SGS2. I know about the LTE but I don't think it will launch any time soon in Norway and the screen would be bigger with the same resolution(90% sure). Even on higher resolution phones(android) apps would get boxed which I really don't like.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcplussony:
Very weird. The Rogers LTE version looks like the US versions with the 4 android icons at bottom and its only a 1.2ghz dual core but 4.5 inch screen. And LTE runs on the 1700 band which is what at&t wants to do with t-mobile's 1700 spectrum.

I keep seeing this AOS bug. My GS2 from Amazon does not have it. I am still on Stock 2.3.3 KE7 and I don't have it at all. My phone gets through the day easy if I am not on it constantly and my AOS is like 4-11% always. I have never seen it above 15%. Is it really supposed to be on all phones? Mine was the SA-Version (South America) GS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
So is losing 15% of your battery life to a bug acceptable to you? There are many threads about this bug but to give a short explaination, it's about two processes: suspend and events/0 that are wasting battery life when the phone is trying to go into deep sleep and it doesn't happen in any other Android phone. Basically, seeing Android OS at 15% means you'd get 15% more battery life if Samsung finally fixed this. I hope their next phone won't have this bug, or HTC will gain another loyal customer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] con ga pc:

cant see myself upgrading till atleast the quad-core phones start strutting their stuff, maybe s3?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxwillsch:
If you read my post I said it was always between 4-11% I have only seen it at 15% once and that was when I was using the AOS alot. It is no more than what I saw on my Inspire 4G before this and my Captivate before that. What I was saying is that my battery doesn't get run down by the AOS. I get a day easy with my battery, possibly a day and a half if I ever didnt charge it overnight. This is with medium usage. I am not saying that if I used my phone constantly with screen on it would still last a day, but I am saying that this phone gets the best battery life out of any phone I have ever owned, including the 3GS.
