Thanks for this. Is there any way to change out the CM7 and boot either ICS or Miui from a uSD?

Thanks will try it and report back.

well i've been running cm7 for a day now with no problems at all. very impressed with the work you guys have put in. very easy to install and no hitches at all. my nook is running the way i wanted it to run when i bought it, thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ratickle:
CW7 is impressive

Just installed CW7 on an SD card and booted my Nook Tablet into "real" Android. I understand why B&N crippled the Nook Tablet, but I think being able to dual-boot into CW7 will get them even more sales. I'm very appreciative of all the work done by everyone to make this dual-boot possible. This makes my Nook Tablet a much more valuable device. My next step is to make a donation. Keep up the good work guys. I'm looking forward to ICS on my Nook Tablet.

For those individual that want to repartition their SD card to use the unallocated space but don't have Linux installed, you can get gparted as a Live CD from the following website.

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

Once you've downloaded it, burn the .iso to CD and boot the PC from your CD-ROM and partition away. Please PLEASE PLEASE be careful to select your SD card and not one of your hard drives when performing the operation. You might want to watch the video tutorial found below.

For those of you waiting for an alternative sdcard write-up, it might take a few more days. I've fallen a bit behind in other work and won't have much free time until Thursday/Friday or so.

From what you all have been posting, and other research I have been doing this seems to be a SDcard/SDcard interface issue rather than the installation method, so I'm not sure this alternate method will do much for those with this issue.

EaseUS partition Master works without having to burn a CD. Celtic suggested it in the support thread.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Just curious, other bootable SDs I've seen include EXT4 partitions which are not viewable in Windows flavors. I don't see any mention in the summary for the tool that indicates it can "see" such partitions. (I see support for EXT2/3, however.)

Perhaps it is a moot point in this case - I haven't yet had a chance to flash this image to SD so perhaps it doesn't even make use of EXT4 but I wanted to get a feel for how useful this would be on those images that have such partitions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
From what I've googled, it does not support EXT4. It worked fine to add the unallocated space to the last partition of the card after writing this CM7 img to it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
But what is the answer to the question...does the burned microSD card image result in any EXT4 partitions being on the card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
There are no Ext4 partitions on the SD card image. Pardon my awful crop job... but here are the partitions it creates:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smarcin:
First of all, thanks for all the work you and Celtic have put into CM7 for both emmc and SDcard.

Is is possible to use your method above to install nightly's of CM7 to the SDcard? Is there a way to just swap out some files between the nightly's or even Miui, and the SDcard files you and Celtic have put together? I came over from the NC forums, as I returned my NC (wifi problems) and got a Tablet. I miss the ease with which we could take most any ROM and use verygreen's installer to put it on a uSDcard. Is there any way to build something similar for the Tablet? TIA.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Unfortunatley I am not going to be able to keep up with the files on a nightly build (I haven't even gotten the current build files up yet, lol!).

Celtic, however, has developed an update.zip method for updating the SDcard version. We still have a bit of work to do to get that our (need to setup a specific SDcard CM7 branch in the source). I'm sure he will dump more details in the next few weeks ;)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackknightavalon:
Bought my Nook Tablet yesterday and the first thing I did with it was root it (hardest part was getting ADB to work on my Linux box; after that, everything was 1-2-3) and flashed this ROM. Everything works exactly as it should!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anteko:
I tried to install via the internal method from CWM, but after install it went toe the "Read Forever" screen and has been stuck there since. Anyone have any advice?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackknightavalon:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anteko:
What do you mean by "wipe everything". Do you mean the dalvik cache, cache, factory reset... or some other method?

Yep, doesn't a flash overwrite EVERYTHING anyway?

THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT THREAD.

This is getting ridiculous now! You guys are overloading this thread with questions when the post that you downloaded the ROM from has a link in bright green text telling you where to go with your questions and problems.

I'm not exactly a veteran here, but if XDA had a Bible, asking for an ETA would be a deadly sin.

Seriously, people, you've got to read the first post. Only posts related to development are supposed to go in this thread - problems and bugs go in the support thread. I'm sorry, but I can't sit back and watch this thread get spammed with off-topic stuff anymore. I check this thread for updates on development, not updates on other users' problems.

If you have an issue, please report it to the support thread here:

Just thought I best drop in and say we haven't disappeared off of the face of the earth!

We've just been catching up on the real world. Gonc and I are going to make a concerted effort to get full source available to you for the end of next week. We've only got one small issue left and then it will be able to make a full working update zip on it's own without needing any manual modification.

In the mean while please now feel free to base your roms on ours as long as you give credit, I believe ours is now tested well enough and is sufficiently stable to use.

As I mentioned we will be releasing full source soon, hopefully at the very least by the end of next week. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Watch this space!

Celtic..... Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication.

Am I correct in assuming that you are referring to a working solution for the 8gb Nook Tablet as well as the 16 (ie it will work on both variations 8 & 16)?

I hope so.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] one4thewings:
It may be an issue of the support link not working. I've tried it repeatedly hoping that it had been updated and get a message stating that the thread doesn't exist.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
These messages appear in the thread with no connection (quoting) to what they are talking about, so they make no sense.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Our release already works on both 8gb and 16gb, what makes you think it doesn't?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nikiddawg:
Since I posted that I tried again from the beginning and was successful. I still can only boot into cm7 if tethered but once it starts to load, I can unplug and use without being attached by usb.. Thanks!

It works great!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
I think I speak for anyone that matters, there is no rush. We all would love a new update, sure. You have a real life and a wife, both of which are supposed to be the priority, especially since this build is so good, its not like you have big ugly problems that need attention RIGHT NOW.

Rock it out Celtic!

About to use the SD card method. Once installed Can i dual boot from this and NT stock? Do i just boot cm by leaving the card in and boot and stock is opposite?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
see answer in support thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bocaccio:
Best help all day long!! Easy enough boot cm7 leave card in and so on. Question is where can i get a decent stock? Mine is acting kinda weird. It will not go into the email app.Crashes when i try to open it says it cannot find email app. And settings force closes when i try and modify the keyboard settings.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Well we'd intended to have full source available this weekend but we've got one little hurdle thats causing us a headache. What we want is a source that you can add into the main cm7 source, set it to go and it will spit out a 100% working update that would convert a stock NT into a cm7 NT. We are there all bar one little issue where we nee the build to run a small script right at the end before it zips it all up. For some reason we can't get it to do it, maybe we're trying to run it from the wrong place or something. We don't really know, if anybody has any ideas drop me a PM and hopefully we can get a fully working source posted for everyone to have a play with :)

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer :)

Have a great Easter!

Could someone tell me what the default resolution is set to on CM7? I am running CM9 right now for a little while but there were some things which I think were resolution related I liked better about CM7 Should be somewhere around 160dpi, I believe our devices are native 151dpi.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I fully believe that as time progresses, B&N keeps doing things to lock the Nook down--failing to realize that the more flexible it is, the better for them. I think they are in Apple mode--"our stuff or nothing."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You could run the SD version of CM7. That one does work with the 8GB model NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Doesn't it work with the 8gb then? I will be honest I only tried the SD version on my 8gb but I see no reason why you can't install it internally?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Well the time has come, I have been contacted again today by one of the Mods and it appears that somebody that hasn't even had the decency to contact me themselves has placed a complaint to the Linux Mainline developers list so I'm being forced to release unfinished source.

When we started out on this little journey it was supposed to be something we did in our own spare time which eventually benefited everyone. Unfortunately the politics of it all takes away from the fun of developing. Then people demanding things from you in a time period thats you can't meet just destroys what little is left. We weren't / aren't developers so we didn't even use github, Fattire was good enough to show me how to push our device source to github earlier this week and the only modification left was to get it to add the 2ndbiit onto boot.img before packing. I've been asking about trying to find out how to do this and we were getting close. Thast all I was trying to do. Get you all something that built the whole thing for you. I'm sorry I didn't have the time to get it right for you all :(

So I'm posting up the device source used in building our version of CM7 for the Nook Tablet.

So that nobody can put us in this position of forcing us to do things when we don't have time for any longer here is the source and That’s me out of the limelight.

Than you to everyone who helped along the way. It was fun and I hope you all enjoyed it!

Unfortunately, if you distribute binaries of GPL code, you have to have the source available at the same time... even if it's unfinished.

Don't worry, it's easy enough to come into compliance. We'll get things straightened out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Sad to see you leave

Sorry to see you leave.

The SD version of your rom works great. Not only that, it is the ONLY thing that still works on my device! Unless I have the CM7A SD in my NT8, it will not boot. Were it not for you, it would be a total brick until I find something to clear it.

Thank you for your time and effort. I totally understand your frustration with people who abuse our HOBBY and try to make it into a political game.

To the unknown person... "Bad dog! ... Shame on you! ... Get back into your kennel!" (grin)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Well the binaries were built form official CM7 source which was already freely available and the kernel was built from source released in our first thread. In the git hub is the Device source for the build which was modified from Nook Color. We then had to cat the 2ndboot to the boot.img.

So kernel + CM7 source + device source + cat2ndboot = working CM7

Hope you can all make use of it :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Yet another example of a small minority, even a single person, destroying a good situation for a MUCH larger group.

Perfectly consistent with how we have let our society develop...completely upside down, where the minority drives the direction of everything--naturally in their direction--rather than the majority. Just remember, with things upside down, all the dirt falls on you.

As always, the majority just slinks away into the night, powerless to change anything.

I was hoping development would continue in this package to incorporate later CM7's and maybe eliminate the small problems with wifi. Not to be, thanks to the a___ ___ who ran the selfless originator off. Hope someone discovers this jerk's name.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
We most definitely won't be "gone" for good. When I have spare time again in the future (I have next to nothing right now) I'll be back but only to fiddle around for personal use and to help others where I can.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Yeah, because GPL violations are SOOOO okay in android development. Slink back to the night and get out until you know about how android and even linux in general works. You don't comply, you lose your right to distribute the binary.

Hell, I'll tell you what, I'll be sure to even build CM7 for everyone just so there's no *****ing. But you always need to follow GPL. Otherwise it bites you in the ass.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
This piece of the majority just slinks away into the night, powerless to change anything, as requested.

You are right

I realize that you are correct. However, the WAY the accusation was made - w/o first contacting the OP - is the wrong part.

BTW, thank you for all the work that YOU have done - and for your assurance that we will not be left behind.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
The OP has been in contact with the moderators of this forum for over a month now, without resolving the issue. He was well aware of what needed to be done, and the leniency on GPL enforcement that was shown was above and beyond the norm.

The situation was dealt with, and this is a closed subject for now.

Thank you.

We told you that any further discussion was prohibited. Read the rules. Celtic is working to fix the issue, and we may have it taken care of soon.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
OK Everyone, everything is now sorted.

Unfortunately it was a huge misunderstanding. It was not made clear to me exactly what it was that they were demanding and I was working hard on the wrong thing with what little spare time I had.

So without further ado here is the source for the kernel along with a modified config file specifically for The nook tablet using CM7

https://github.com/CelticWebSolutions/Android-Kernel-2.6.35-Nook-Tablet

The config is call Android_4430_BN_cm7config

A huge thanks to Ganjaman for all his support and assistance along the way and thanks also to AdmiralSpark for explaining to me what exactly it was that I wasn't complying with!

So if we can leave all the discussion about it there and lets get on with making the Nook Tablet a worthwhile purchase for everyone.

I will of course expect numerous modified builds of CM7 and other roms for the nook Tablet within the next 24 hours all fully tested and extremely stable :)

Not All Micro-SD Cards work

Be careful when choosing your micro-SD card. Posters on this thread have stated that the CrystalDiskMark 4K QD=32 writes should be above 1 mb/sec for a micro-SD card to work. My journey to find a micro-SD card that works with CM7 on my NT was as follows:

Maker | Size | Class | CrystalDiskMark 4K QD=32 | Result

----------------------------------------------------------

Transcend | 8gb | 6 | 0.046 | works

A-Data | 16gb | 10 | 0.036 | doesn't work

Sandisk | 16gb | 6 | 1.53 | works

UPDATE: Sandisk is Mobile ULTRA (SDSDQY-016G-A11A)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
'wow', i have been collecting stats on and off and i must say again... 'wow'. . did you get a 1.53 score on a 'write' operation on the fourth test.

.

i never got close to that ( for the write / column two ) . . my best score is ten times slower than that.

.

ah, am loosing sight of the original intent / point... good enough is good enough and there is a difference and the difference makes a difference . . .

I tried to run CM7 on a PNY 16GB class 10 card, and it didn't reliably operate. I installed CM7 internally, and it work fine.
