I'm not sure why it's not setting it correctly for you. I've set it on mine and it works as it should.

Hahahah! Awesome. Glad you're enjoying it. Just don't forget to thank the actual devs as well, their the ones that have put in so much time to get these wonderful roms for our nook color! :D

Thanks,

So, I have a 16GB card in, why is it telling me I have 1GB? It actually says 594Mb total internal, with 470mb free,.....additional 1GB total with 1GB free

Just reread your instructions, I'll give that a try and get back to you

ok so i cant figure this out, easus isnt seeing my card and disk manager wont give me options, when is the best time to extend this partition, after i burn the image?, if so then why wont it work now, really need some help here, i dont want to start all over

Hey racks, so far everything is working great! I just had one little quirk that was not repeatable last night. I shut down from CM9 and when it powered off, I hit the power button, short press as to turn on the screen from sleep and it started to boot into my stock B&N 1.4.1 rom on eMMC???

I always give the power button one short press to make sure it's really off on both my NC and TP, so I don't wake up to a drained battery. As mentioned above, it was not repeatable in 3 tries this morning, just thought I'd make you aware.

Also, I know you mentioned that you'd make an update zip if it's worthwhile, looks like there's been some pretty good improvements for multitouch. as fattire said, good for gamers but I'm sure we can all benefit from it. Here's the github link:https://github.com/fat-tire/android_device_bn_encore/commits/ics

Anyway, see what you think and thanks again.

so, i got a new 16gb class 4 sd card, and figured id start fresh, win32diskimager doesn't work, i choose the file then write, it says not enough room on card,....... i try winimage, which worked last time, and now it doesnt even see the sd, are there other programs i could try, i really dont know what the problem is, a new card worked fine on winimage last night now it wont even see the new card
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
Have you written anything to this SD card, or partitioned it? If not, what are you using to read the card? Maybe your reader is the problem. I have one small USB reader that sometimes doesn't seem to work. If I remove it and take the card out and put it back in, sometimes it works. I gave up and am using a different reader now.
[Nook Color Android Development] trybal057:
just got it writing,.... may be the reader, i just kept removing it and trying again, winimage finally saw the disk, writing now,... i do need to know how to allocate more space
[Nook Color Android Development] webdroidmt:
Just thought I'd post my experience flashing the new 1/19 zip to help those that might run into a couple of issues. Flashed the dual boot rom in CWM and then rebooted, upon reboot it went to my eMMC stock B&N rom. I just let it finish loading B&N, then powered off and powered up again. Racks, I believe you mentioned in another post that this may be due to this particular version of CWM.

Anyway, I let it boot into CM7 first and everything was intact. All my apps were there and market was fine. Rebooted into alternate boot for CM9, all my apps were intact and market had an icon but wouldn't open. Also there was no calendar or any other syncing going on. As suggested in your update post, I reflashed CM9 gapps and the fixes zip and rebooted. Same routine of going to B&N stock eMMC and rebooting again in alternate boot for CM9.

Market was there had to sign in again to Google acct. However, the loading icon to get into Market just kept spinning. I've seen this happen before, so I just closed Market and tried again, this time it went to the accept/decline dialogue and got right in. I didn't even have to clear data.

As for Calendar, I got the dialogue that calendar storage is closing. So for that, I went into apps and cleared data to solve it. One last thing regarding calendar, it wouldn't sync right away, had to uncheck/check the box a couple of times and syncing was all good.

Overall, everything is running real smooth. Thanks again Racks, you satisified my flash frenzy for the day. :D

After writing the image, load up Easeus Partition Manager, the home edition is free. Enlarge partition 9 to fill the free space. Apply changes and there you go.

This worked well for me. When I originally loaded my SD card, I forgot to enlarge the partition. I did it before running the updates. Worked fine.

8GB - Not enough space on disk.

I was successful with my 32GB card and everything works great thank you very much.

I tried the same thing with my 8GB card and it says "Not enough space on disk"

Any ideas? I dont want to use my 32Gb card but its all I had at the time and I wanted to try this.

Thank you for doing this, you did an Awesome job!

Got it working, the problem I had was the partition was the 6 one, now I have aproblem with video,..the audio is fast,.. Bluetooth sends no sound to my headphones, ...................other than that and a couple game issues, all is well,...... oh yeah the camera doesn't work:D. Thnx for all the help
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
Sorry for the Nub question:

How do you copy the ZIP updates (ICS, GAPPS) to the SDcard partition of the DualBootSD card? I'm in Win7x64, can find & see the contents of the partition with Ext2Explore, but I cannot figure out how to copy new zip updates (as described on OP) to this location.

The Dualboot card works and thanks so much for the work on this!

Thanks!

Dave
[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
Had the same problem myself. I uploaded the files to my DropBox, then downloaded them to my NC-placing them in my "downloads" directory.

I then used CWM to navigate to to "downloads" and do the updates.

All went well.

When running CM7, plug in the Nook to your PC. Pull up the notification screen and tap on USB. You should see an option to mount USB. The PC will then recognize a new drive.

[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
I got a new 16GB uSD card today. I wanted to clone my 8GB card, then expand the SD partition. In the OP, it suggests there are 7 partitions, and that the SD partition is the 7th. When looking at my 8GB card, I only see 6 partitions with Easus or another partition manager. Racks, can you update the OP with a list of the partitions we should be seeing?

I'm probably going to backup my apps on both KANG and ICS, then start over. I'm just curious how I lost a partition somehow. I did forget to expand the SD partition when I first set up my 8GB card. I did it later. Maybe that somehow messed things up?

Dual boot???

Forgive me if this has been answered previously. I've look all around>

I'm running CM7.1 internally. I would like to run ics 4.03 on a sd card. Would someone please point me to instructions how to set it up?

Thanks in advance
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Start here then get the updated version here.

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] Benzoman:
The first here is ultimately for the instructions on how to use the updated version. If you figure out everything using the first thread you should have an easier time when you try other things. I used the first link and figured a lot of things out before the new version came out. It really helped when I went to install CM9 on sdcard. I run mirage 7.2.0 on emmc but love checking out things using an sdcard.

Netflix and YouTube

I'm having problems running Netflix and YouTube. The video loads in Netflix but doesn't play and then in YouTube I get to the video and it doesn't load and play. Any tips or anything to do?
[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
Racks. Thanks for this img. I enjoyed it immensely. Only problem I have is the /data partition of both ROMS. I've noticed that they are limited to only 600mb each (at least on a 16GB sdcard). I was able to take advantage of the remaining space by resizing the partition of the sdcard using Easeus Partition Manager (which made it a breeze to do so,) but it won't let me resize those two partitions. I guess because those partitions are made using Linux. I do have Ubuntu, and I tried resizing it using Disk Utility but it won't let me. I have just googled a thing called GParted who promises to be the same as Easeus only in Linux, and I hope this does the trick. I'll cross my fingers and let you know. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
There's no h/w acceleration yet and Netflix and YoutubeHD is dependent on it.

But if you uncheck HD in you tube it should play just fine.

[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Wow, well it seems that due to the current nature of the latest crackdown on Copyright Infringement and Internet Piracy with file sharing sites. All of the sites that were hosting my files are shutting down sharing capabilities. The only one that seems to be working at the moment are Depositfiles and Wupload. I don't understand how Hotfile said that my files were "removed due to copyright claim or is deleted by the uploader." I didn't delete it.

We really do have to stop SOPA and PIPA from ever passing. This is ridiculous and way too broad. They're throwing out the whole dozen because of one bad egg. ** sigh **

I'm gonna have backup all my files and take a look and see where else i can host these files before I lose them all. I do depend on free sharing sites since all this is probono. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Hey Racks,

Maybe 4shared, the free plan has a 2gb file limit.

[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
Quoting my previous post...it worked! I was able to resize the two /data partitions! Now they are both 2GB each; plenty of space for large apps and games. I've been using it for almost a week now, and as I have observed, resizing the partitions didn't have any (noticeable) negative effects.

I achieved it using GParted Live. With your permission Racks, I can write a guide on how to do this for people who would like to achieve the same thing. By luck, I was able to get the 3rd post in this thread of yours and I can go ahead and put the guide there.

Thanks again Racks for your wonderful .img and all the other devs that made CM7 & CM9 possible! :D

Running CM9 on NC, I can't update Google Maps to their latest version. Version 5.xx works just fine but version 6.xx won't be updated. Is it expected?

[Nook Color Android Development] rtied:
Smarcin,

The seventh partition is an extended partition, that is required to have more than four logical partitions on one disk. I think windows ignores the extended and only shows the logical.

(though I think in order the partition is number four out of seven)
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
Hey, Les, how'd you do it? I tried using a live Ubuntu 10.10 disk, and I couldn't get it to resize the /data partitions. I also tried using my dual boot Ubuntu netbook. I needed a newer version of some app, which I couldn't download. On that installation, I couldn't get it to unmount the partitions. With the live 10.10, I was able to unmount them, but couldn't figure out how to resize them. Can you either pm me your steps or post them, please?

TIA

Well... just got back from a business trip and left my Nook Color on the plane! I suck! lolol

So I'll be without one for a little bit. Plan on upgrading to the NookTablet anyways. We have 3 other nook colors in the family. So I'll try and pry one away from one of my daughters when I can to continue doing my little part in this great nook community.

Thanks everyone and all the great devs out there that continues to push our devices past their intended boundaries! :D

Thanks for your work on this, and I do hope you keep up the good work.

I have this all working now on a 32gb SDCARD, but being a noob, I have a question...when I boot into the Nook Color stock rom, 1.4.1, with the sdcard in the slot, I would like to be able to use the 28gb of free space on the sdcard, but when I try to see it through the Nook color, all it sees is the small /boot partition and nothing else. How can I get the stock Nook rom to see the 28gb available space in the /sdcard partition on the installed sdcard with your dual-boot setup on it?

Sorry for all the PMs, but they are/were important to me, at least from my perspective. :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] NinjaMan691:
Download EASUS partition manager and just reallocate the unallocated partition to FAT32 or something like that. Worked with my 8GB SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] mechanic54:
I no longer have any unallocated space on the sdcard. I used EASUS to expand the /sdcard partition to its current size, exhausting all the unallocated space. When booting into stock 1.4.1 Nook rom, I am unable to see the 28gb on the /sdcard partition, only the ~100mb /boot partition on the sdcard. :(

I would like to be able to use the 28gb of space in the /sdcard partition on the inserted sdcard.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] rtied:
mechanic54,

The file you need to edit is /etc/vold.fstab on the stock nook android partition. You can search for a more complete explanation, but basically it sets the mount point to the seventh partition (from auto, which just mounts the first FAT formatted parition).

Backup the current file. Edit the file entry for sdcard partition like below. Save file, fix permissions, reboot

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 7 auto /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

(It took me awhile to get this to work and I manually mounted, unmounted and remounted the correct partition a few times through ADB, so I'm not 100% sure my instructions are complete.)

Also attached is my edited vold.fstab.
[Nook Color Android Development] mechanic54:
Thank you very much for your reply...unfortunately as I stated, I am a complete noob and don't have the first clue on where or how to accomplish what you so kindly posted, and my stock nook rom has not been altered in any way, just the things I have been doing with the sdcard. :o

Any help in language and procedures a noob would understand would be appreciated. I envy all of you who have the knowledge.

[Nook Color Android Development] eghill1125:
I had the same thing happen yesterday morning to me. Long story , short. I ended up somehow losing root completely and had to start over. I think what happened to mine that put me in the Recovery loop was something with updating CWM. I saw another post somewhere here that said something was wrong as of 1/24/12 with CWM and not to install it right now on the EMMC. Unfortunately, I did not see that until I boinked my nook first. :o

Did you try to update that at all?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Download links have been updated.

I opened up a 4shared account, uploaded my files and suddenly they were all gone. I was gonna send the dualboot img file to xda member 'terra-starr' to host on his drop box. I'll ask him to download the available links i just posted so he can add it to his dropbox account. Then I will update OP with his link as well.

Please do let me know when links are down though. It's never a bother to alert me! :D

This has been so much fun to play around with.

I had a dual with stock and CM7 but the addition of ICS just adds to the adventure.

The only thing I've noticed is on the ICS side is that response from icon tap to execution is real slow. And the overall performance on ICS isn't anywhere near what it is on my flashed Captivate phone.

But Stock and CM7 have had no problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] Hoibb:
Hi les02gen. I can't wait for your instruction on getting the extra space (7th partition) to show and be used. I've used "miniTool" which resizes and reports favorable results. But I can't "see" that extra space! Using a 16gB SD card with Racks's OP dual boot CM7/ICS image. I know it's there - how do I get to use it or get it to show? The extra space won't show up in Windows XP off my card reader either. I'm missing a step somewhere...
[Nook Color Android Development] p0k3y:
First off, I am kind of new to this Nook Color dual booting business. I must say that I am impressed by how we can do this with NC. I got the dual booting working and the ICS is working nicely on my NC.

The only question I have is what's the best way to copy things to/from the SD card partition (partition 7)? I tried assigning a drive letter in Win7 to that partition, but got an error. I can mount the USB storage with NC plugged in. Is that the best method?

EDIT: from the ICS boot, I can't see my SD card from USB connection, using either MTP or PTP. Do I need to install a driver or something?

"This card is a great NEW Product, don't buy an old triple boot card (which was probably downloaded from me as well) with Honeycomb when you can get ICE Cream Sandwich!!"

"This auction is for a new 16GB Sandisk or Microcenter Class 4 microSDHC card and my time and effort to install and configure the software. You are spending a small amount of money to save yourself the 10, 20 or even 100 hours that it would take for you to build this card yourself."

"you are getting a brand new Sandisk or Microcenter Micro SDHC card" - the hell does that mean? I'm either getting sandisk or microcenter? hahahah. most buyers are probably gonna get a microcenter card... lol

I know, I know, I know, he's selling the time he put in to do it for the buyer...

How easy are my instructions though. I feel it's idiot proof. These guys...

[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
That SUX! Anybody should be able to follow your instructions, or they're too dumb to read on a Nook anyway. That being said, maybe I should go over to the Nook Color forum at B & N and point them to this thread. Probably most of the people there don't read these Xda forums.

I pity the poor people that get that microcenter card. I benched an 8GB Class 4 from there at a whopping .30! I returned it along with the SanDisk 8GB Class 4 I got there that benched at .313. Maybe the 16GB card is faster? Ha, ha.
[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
That REALLY sucks!

Looks like the only thing that he's done (if his description is correct) is add a menu at boot-up.

I Quote:

"This card includes a boot menu that lets you select the operating system you would like to run. Simply power down your Nook Color, put the card you purchased in and turn it back on. You will now be prompted for the operating system you would like to run and you'll never have to take the card out again. "

Like I said...That SUCKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Nah, that's included in the dualbootSD. All he did was burn the image file to the SDcard then flashed gapps. lol
[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
I don't know: it sounds like he created a menu, as opposed to using the procedure built into VG's SD card image.

If you're right, he's an even BIGGER weasel....
[Nook Color Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Even funnier is if you read a little further it states...

"BEWARE OF AUCTIONS THAT DON'T SPECIFY THE CLASS OR BRAND OF THE CARD."

Unfortunately Google Calendar Has Stopped

Is anyone else getting this issue when they boot into ICS? I've flashed all of the updates, but maybe I didn't do them in the correct order?

Is anyone else getting this?

I have a new problem. I've been using the uSD card I made the night Racks posted the file. I did flash the updates. Everything has been working fine. But today wifi has stopped working when I boot into CM7. When I turn it on, it doesn't show any wifi networks. If I boot into the Nook's native OS or into CM9, I can see and connect to wifi. Anyone have any ideas I can try, other than starting all over and reflashing my whole uSD? If I could figure out how to clear cache and dalvik, maybe that would work?
