As Racks said, this MiUI 2.2.24 is V4 ICS based, at least it has the look and functions of ICS. To install any of these updates, you need to first have the original dual boot img on uSD, put the update zip in sdcard partition, then follow the instruction to update. For installing MiUI, you need to format the system1 and data1 as well as to wipe the cache before installation. All these steps are done in recovery mode.

I just put the MiUI on another uSD for testing. I like the interface, but there are a lot of issues (same for ICS). It responses a lot slower than CM7 and it has some compatibility issue. Now the ES File Explorer does not even work in MIUI V4. The older version may work though. The ES File Explorer is so essential to me. So MIUI is a no go for me right now. Glad that I can just put back my original uSD to resume CM7. By the way, it took a long while to initiate CM7 after swapping the uSD.

Hey, so i have played around with this setup for a while and

1. have also mentioned that I have some Issues with the Wifi, especially loding "larger files" like a 20 MB app or watching a youtube video etc. seems often to disconnect the wifi, so that i have to turn it off and turn it back on... is there any solution for this or is this a known bug?!

2. Was wondering how updates work... if i have to completly erase the card... and loose all my settings, or in other words start from scratch after every update... there must be a better solution or!?

3. I have read this thread regarding Backup of the whole card... the thread is a bit odler is this still the easiest and most reliable procedure?

Will this work for CM7 update as well? Mine has somehow gotten hincky and now goes into endless reboot instead of opening.

And where may I find latest version of Dualboot CM7 update? In the OP page?

Please help me avoid a complete overhaul.
[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:
At the risk of alienating the world, a question like the above wouldn't be asked if you actually looked at and read the OP....
[Nook Color Android Development] Anniraff:
Did look there first. Some confusion, at least on my part, re exactly which is which re: CM7 upgrade. Please read dl items for yourself and then, perhaps, you could answer my question rather than polemicizing.
[Nook Color Android Development] AngelWings8:
Isn't it just in the TeamWin techeratta server? CM7 = Mirage, then choose the update file with the date that you want?
[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
The older download links are embedded in the second post and the new ones are on the Techerrata server. It said clearly in each update log on Post 2 the updates are for MiRaGe CM7.2, ICS CM9, or MIUI. It is not so hard to follow. What is the problem? :confused:

If one did not read through the first page of this thread and start fooling around, he is asking for nothing but trouble.:p
[Nook Color Android Development] Anniraff:
Sorry for the firestorm. Guess I was unclear on precisely what I was asking. Which was: can I use racks' clipped info to install the latest reasonably working Mirage update, and, if so, where could it be found? And, by the way, I did/do read this and most other NC threads, so I'm not really stupid, just a tad vague with the verbiage at times.
[Nook Color Android Development] AngelWings8:
I'm sorry but I still don't understand what you're not able to find. The files are on the TeamWin techeratta server. Link is at the bottom of the first post. Download which update you want (dates are shown in the file names). Is that not what you're looking for?
[Nook Color Android Development] alexwick:
ANYONE!?!?

ARE MY QUESTIONS STUPID!?!?

Thanks for your time!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
After you extract the image to a uSD and it is running CM7/CM9 fine, you can apply the update to MiRaGe or ICS from this thread without a complete overhaul. However, if you are going to use the MIUI to replace the CM7, you need to format the system and data (or it won't work) so you are pretty much like doing a clean installation. The recent updates are in the Techerrata server listed under MiRage, ICS, or MIUI accordingly. The CM7/CM9 in the original image is from 1/15 disregarding the 3/4 date stamp.

Do you have network problem with ICS CM9 or Mirage CM7? I have watched 2 internet streamed movie and some TV episodes (~200MB per file) streamed from my notebook in CM7 without any problem.

[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
Thanks for the prompt response. It seems the MIUI GB is working fine even without using any gapps file now. I have tried both the gapps-GB and gapps-MIUI and both gave me problem. Finally I went through the update again without applying gapps and it works.

Hello everybody.

Just a question for nook with nightly build already on.

I have version 233 on my emmc and I am thinking to try this dual boot on a new sd card in order not to affect my current apps.

So my question is if after having this new card, how it will be?Triple boot?Nightly 233 from emmc and Cm7-RCplus ICS from card?

And how I will start each of the 3 roms?

[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
I fall in love with the MIUI GB in this dual boot environment. The interface is so clean and I have no issue so far with bluetooth, wifi, and apps. The performance is good (better than ICS). The text are bigger in some apps. However, I found it may drain the battery faster. With MiRage CM7 running, my phone charger can at least hold the charge while using Wifi and Bluetooth. In MIUI, the phone charger is not powerful enough to keep the battery level even without using bluetooth. I may need to keep it connected with the OEM charger.:mad:

I just flashed the Mirage_CM7_ICS_CM9_DualbootSD.img.zip and I have 2 questions.

I am at step 6 of guide, before installing gapps for each rom.

1)Can I update here both roms?And how?I put each update zip to the sd card, but I cant find the two zip from recovery menu.Although sdcard is mounted and when I enter CM7 I could see the card's files when I connected Nook with pc.

2)Why the bootanimation of CM7 makes so long every time till it goes to Homescreen?Can I make something to make it faster?

My card is a class6 Trancend 8gb.
[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
It takes very long only for the initial boot up (or when switching from one system to another). It will be a lot faster when you reboot into the same system next time.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
I had spent much time at Cm9 ROM.

Unfortunately the system its very slow to even worth to deal with.

I downloaded only dropbox and Dolphin and after 10 minutes of use, everything started to crash and give errors.

really strange.
[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
Which CM9 are you using? I did experience slow performance with it but I don't have much error or crash. I am testing CM9 from 3/26 with OpenGL and the previous one without OpenGL on 2 microSD. Anyway, so far the one I like most is the MIUI GB 2.3.9 in terms of performance and user interface. I had problem with MIUI ICS though as ES File Explorer did not work in it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Windsor1959:
Try a SanDisk Class 4 SD card. They run roms much faster than other brands, even those with a higher speed rating.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
I updated both roms to latest versions found at the first post.Never faced any problems during install.Only slow perfomance.

[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
I agree that ICS is too slow for regular use, but I don't have other problem. While for MIUI ICS, it is as slow and has some compatibility issue. So I gave up on that for now. On the other hand, the MIUI GB has been working great for me although it may drain the battery faster.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
ICS is great as a daily driver, one just has to tweak its performance with an app like ROM Tool Box.

Are you all using any performance tweaks?

[Nook Color Android Development] slack04:
Hey all. Just got my NC today. Not even remotely interested in the BN software, so I turned it on, signed into a BN account, then turned it off and started reading XDA. Found this thread and looked pretty good (and fresh) so I followed the instructions in the OP to make the SD card (8gb no-name).

Booted into CM7 but wifi says "error" (that's all it says. If I click to turn wifi on it thinks for a minute ("turning on") then just goes back to "error."

So I turned it off and booted into the alternate boot and same thing; it loads up (although I'm getting a bunch of FCs from just about everything) and the wifi just won't turn on. Searched the thread here (and the forum) but I can't find anything on point.

Did I miss a step? Forgive the noob question if it's a known problem. Coming from a galaxy tab 10.1; this seems like it will take a bit of getting used to!
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
My honest opinion is for you to try the Cm7 nightlies first with direct install to emmc.They are tested for years and you will enjoy your Nook much more in general.

Running this ROM here is, in my opinion, for users who want to try something else and experiment at free time with other roms in a spare sdcard.

Experienced exactly the same problems with a Sandisk 4GB C4 microSD card (the only spare I had available). The same card had issues running official CM7 nightlies while another Sandisk 4GB card bought at the same time ran the nightlies just fine so I figured the card itself was faulty. Bought a Sandisk 16GB C4 from Amazon to replace it and all is working well now (although CM9/ICS runs pretty slow and laggy). I suggest replacing that 8GB no-name with a Sandisk Class 4.

This is for CM7 Kang. Really weird why it does not flash. Unless I need a newer one that I am not aware of.

The Market installs fine on older Updates to the SD, but when the new Update is installed it disappears. I tried format of system1 and data1, but nothing seems to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
The Market is now called Play Store.
[Nook Color Android Development] StarWolfX0:
Yeah I know that, but Google Play or Market is not in my apps list. That is the problem. Flashing it does nothing.

I do see it on the ICS when I boot into it, but not CM7 which I want to use.

Fixed it. I was able to side load an older Market Place App and than update it. We should be fine now.

[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
I have checked this part already.

The problem is that the version V6 that they have is for Android 4.04 when our version from this Dualboot Rom is 4.0.3

I tried it myshelf and my Nook got to an infinite boot loop, so I had to reinstall CM9 from the beginning.Not much work, but I just wanted to be sure if it will work or not.
[Nook Color Android Development] alexwick:
OK so first I am confused what files to use...

I ended up with 4 files....

4. Update-Encore_CM9_DualbootSD_03252012_OpenGL

2. Update-Encore_MIUI_v239_DualbootSD_03252012-GB

3. Update-Encore_MIUI_v239_DualbootSD_03252012-ICS

1. Update-Mirage_CM7_DualbootSD_03252012

+ gapps

Now i probably did this whole thing wrong...

I just rebooted out of CS7.2 into recovery installed (or flashed) all the above and restarted... now I had a odd Screen ( I believe its the MIUI... but it was totally buggy, lagging error msgs...)

Now i realised probably something went wrong here...

Now I i relflashed the Update-Mirage_CM7_DualbootSD_03252012 I believe...

and Cyanogen startet again similar to the old version... but the market did seem to work right... now I reflashed the Gapps... but I still get a lot of error msgs...

Now i do believe i did a backup... With the partionmanager...

should i try to restore this... I am just afraid I mess up the whole thing here...

Any advise whre to go from here!?

BTW how can I select if I install in first or second boot!? Is this selected in the file itself, or do i have to select that somewhere!?
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
Do you want MIUI GB or ICS?
[Nook Color Android Development] alexwick:
to be honest I am not sure what I want, but I manly would like to understand it so I can make the choice...

So does that mean u only use one of these 3 ???

Update-Encore_MIUI_v239_DualbootSD_03252012-GB

Update-Encore_MIUI_v239_DualbootSD_03252012-ICS

Update-Mirage_CM7_DualbootSD_03252012

THANKS!

BTW: Right now i get a lot of msg like .... process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly... Pls try again...

SO can I still save this, or will I have to restore with backup... I would have done that already IF i was sure the backup works...!
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
Yup, just one of those 3.

MIUI and Mirage are for the primary partition; CM9 is for the alternate partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
I wonder if these messages are a sign of having problem with your SD card. Anyway, if you want to install the MIUI GB (or MIUI ICS) update, you need to format the system1 and data1. In addition, you'll need to to clear the cache. I've tried both MIUI. With the ICS one, I did use the gapps for MIUI. Since I found some compatibility use, I am not using it anymore. Then I tried MIUI GB. I like it very much, however, I've encountered some problems when installing it. I tried installing gapps for MIUI-ICS and gapps for CM7, neither one worked. Finally I installed the MIUI GB update without any gapps and it works well. :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:
They have information regarding using earlier versions, or you could try rolling your own dual boot version of the latest builds as I do. See this thread:

[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
Man, shumash, I wish you could work this kind of magic on the Nook Tablet. I have both, now. I got a Color first. Exchanged it for the Tab. Though the Tab is fast and lighter weight, the development is very slow. The guys over on the Tab forum only want to produce ROMs to install. That is, there is one CM7 ROM that you can boot from SDcard. In addition, the Tab doesn't automatically boot first from the SDcard. In fact, I'm not sure how they got it to boot from SD.

In my frustration, I got another Color. I love Racks' dual-boot cards. I can't wait to make a few new ones, with the new files he uploaded last week. I might even try making one with nightlys using your directions, shumash.
[Nook Color Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
Any direct link for the version of V6 that works with ICS 4.0.3?

Also, which option did you select?6 or 7?
[Nook Color Android Development] tourist2:
If you update to MIUI (either version), you will need to re-install apps.

The instruction on formatting system1 and data1 was posted earlier in this thread. You do it on the Nook after boot into recovery.

Updates for MIUI GB and ICS are installed into system1 (default boot) on the SD.

As I said in the previous post, I just move furniture, and I think it would be a disservice to those who work hard to create these builds to post something that anyone can do if they follow the instructions I posted earlier. It really is easy.
