Yes, using the CM7 sd card does not affect the stock. Once you unmount the sd card you will be back at stock...don't worry it is virtually impossible to kill this thing :-)...learning the syntax is hard at first but there are a lot of helpful folks here (psst...make sure you post in the right section and always hit the thanks buttow below) :-)

Glad I could help...you can find helpful links here:

Quick tip: You don't even have to unmount your sd card to go back to stock. If you like to dual boot like I do, just hit "restart" your NT from CM7.

Hi, I know this has probably been asked a fair few times, but, after the first 4 or 5 boots into cm7 off my sdcard, it now no longer boots of the sd card unless the power lead is plugged in? im still undecided as to whether i want to wipe the device and install cm7 internally (mainly due to not being able to find a clear guide on rooting/install recovery etc! so if you know a good guide, id be tempted) is this a known problem? one that can be fixed? etc

thanks in advance

I promise, you will not miss the original software even a little bit!

There are MANY awesome videos on youtube that will walk you through, step by step, everything you need to do to put CM7 on your internal.

[Quick walk through]

You will need a 4gig sd card or so.

1. Create a boot able CWM sd card, OR root your device and download Indirect CWM app.

2. Use CWM to install the CM7 zip

3. Install Gapps

4. Drink beer.

Victoria has some awesome guides up.

Someone also said they were able to make there NT boot without a cord by pressing the N

button while the large N is shown during boot. [Or something]

i have no doubt about missing the nook os, just only had it 2 days, so wanted to try cm7 out on the sdcard 1st. give me a few more days and i dare say itll be wiped! like my htc desire was wiped the day i got it lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
The only thing I keep native Nook for is the B&N Nook reader. The android Nook app is very lacking in ability to organize your content--everything is in the main screen. No shelves. No buttons for various categories of material.

There are other readers of course, so if you use those, this won't be an issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
Maybe this will sound harsh, its not meant to be. Celtic has done an amazing thing by getting SD Cm7 to work, but it is so obviously lacking compared to an internal install. To me, the headaches just wouldn't be worth it.

There are hundreds of readers for android.

Simply my .02, to each their own.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mikey F:
right, so ive just rooted and installed cwm, now ive just downloaded the cm7 rom, so creating a nandroid, and about to flash

i assume the nandroid backs up the nook standard os as well?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
What in the world are you talking about? The microSD card version is identical to an internal burn. I don't understand your comment at all. Lacking in what way? Some specifics please. And if there are any, how about including the things CM7 adds that native does not have--just for fairness you know.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mikey F:
ill admit, the sdcard version can be annoying to get it to boot. having to have a cable plugged in isnt always convenient!

CM7AlphaFinal bricks NT8

If you have the 16GB model, then there should be no issues with flashing CM7a to the EMMC (internal SDCard).

However, if your Nook is the 8GB model, then you definitely do NOT want to flash to internal memory! It WILL brick your NT8!! I speak from personal experience. I STILL have not found a solution to my error. Now, my NT8 will not boot internally - at all. The ONLY way that I can use it is to boot from the CM7a (bootable) SDCard.

But, your question:

I have found that the REBOOT option often causes issues with the power on function on my NOOK (CM7a on SDCard).

Suggestions;

Never use the REBOOT option from the power down menu

If the Nook fails to power on properly, hold the power button for 30secs, release and try again. The initial press assures that the Nook is totally powered off. Then the second press will power it on properly.

Hope that helps.

[I just realized we are in the development thread, which is the wrong place for this. Please ask anything farther in the support thread where I will continue to answer.

Yes it can, but if your also rooted I would recommend titanium backup also.

I was just speaking about people who's desktops are "wonky" and needing a cable to boot up, ect. Seems that the hardware doesn't play particularly well with a SD card ROM.

[Again, this is a thread for development only, please move all farther conversation to the support thread. Thank you!]

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dethpikil:
so how the hell are you supposed to install gapps on the sd version for 8 gig tablets?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dimebagdan65:
Check the CM Wiki
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dethpikil:
that doesnt help, i know where to get the gapps, but the cwm recovery is for whats installed on the internal device (which currently i have nothing but a boot loop, because cm7 has no internal support for 8 gig models) so when im booted from the sd card cm7, and try to install, i cant, because anything done in the recovery is going to affect the device not the sd card.

EDIT: nvm, dunno how it happened, but i rebooted a couple times from sd card and it was there, now i just gotta restore the internal nonsense

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Atillius:
I have tried this rom for some time. I still prefer a stock rooted rom w/ ADW launcher. The stock rooted rom is far more stable and works really really well. The only annoying things are that you cant customize the keyboard and you can't do a cut and paste and you can't set fixed IP addresses.

I do appreciate the efforts made by those who are working on the custom roms. I really wish i was knew enough to contribute more than just critiques.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
You actually can modify keyboard when running stock rooted. There is a post from along time ago detailing how to do it. I will try to find when I get time. Or just search for it and you should be able to find it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
I agree. It's great that CelticWebSolutions was able to put this together for those interested, and on the recommendation of him and some others here I installed it internally. It's not been bad, but I definitely think the stock ROM rooted is much more stable, and there doesn't seem to be much more going on with development, so at this point I'm looking to re-install the stock ROM rooted.

No one should take this as a recommendation against installing CM7 especially on the SD card, but it's definitely a case of "your mileage may vary".

Unbrick & return Nook Tablet to STOCK (8gb or 16gb)

If you decide to restore to stock, I have found the solution:

Meghd00t has created a script file to UNBRICK the Nook Tablet and return to Stock. I used it to clear my previously bricked NT8 (would only boot to SDCard). It worked perfectly, UNBRICKED the device and restored it to full stock! :cool:

Then I put ICS on the internal and decided to try the script to return back to stock from a working ICS. It worked perfectly and it is compatible with either the 8GB or 16GB versions of the tablet. :cool:

Hey! I have a 8NT and I'm having a hard time getting CM7 to work. I've successfully restored the stock ROM and have applied to CM7 ROM, but on boot up, it shows the "Team-B Present" screen for about 2 second and then that screen just jumps up and down (looking very unhealthy). I can't figure out what step I've missed. All I'm left to do at the moment is restore the B&N stock.

Once you unzip the folder.

Look inside the folder you just unzipped.

You will see two folders - one is a Mac folder the other one is the ntcm7 folder.

place the ntcm7 in the clockworkmod backup folder.

This is what I was doing wrong.

Couple of Issues

There are a couple of issues I noticed so far (not sure if somebody already mentioned these):

1. The custom values for autobrightness in CM settings force closes. AFAIK this is due to the XML values not matching up to the allowed values.

2. Once the autobrightness setting gets enabled, (either through the power control widget, or the status bar notification widget), there is no way to take the brightness off auto (even though it's not selected in Settings) and as a result, the status bar brightness mod (sliding across to control brightness) does not work).

On the dropbox issue, I kept having that same sdcard not available or full or whatever. I rebooted. Reseated my sdcard since this is a major problem with the NT. Then when I went back into my dropbox app, rather than having an arrow on the right side of the file for the menu, there was nothing. I long pressed the file and there is a download selection. I clicked that and now the files are downloaded into a dropbox folder on my sdcard. I don't know if this is a newer or older apk. I may have installed my backed up copy first and when it was failing I think I might have gotten a version from the market. I honestly don't remember. But it is working fine now.

Amazing work guys... only a few short months ago, people were talking about this tablet being dead in the water due to the bootloader. How times have changed!

Now... Newb question. I rooted my 1.4.1 with the Indirect/BrianF method.... then later reformatted my SDCard (need it for my phone).

How do I prep my card for internal installation? I'm a novice when it comes to this... from my understanding when I rooted, CWM is now installed on my NT? Is it just a simple case of creating the recovery folder and copying everything into it?

Just don't want to bork my NT first time flashing a ROM. :)

I was able to install an 18MB game through the Android Market, although I had the same problem you did with Amazon's free golf game. That could just be a matter of where the size cutoff is, though.

On an unrelated note, I installed Chainfire and the NVIDIA plugin and successfully ran Fruit Ninja THD! The only small issue is that a couple of the fruits don't have their textures so they appear white, but I've heard that's a common issue with Chainfire and that game.

Yup. Still no luck. I've formatted the card as FAT32 using OS X Disk Util and than DD'ed the .img file. I've booted it a couple of times, including via the USB, and still no luck. Urgh!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I would suggest making the card with a different method. If you have access to a Windows machine, try that. [I realize that is an anathema to a linux person, but you need to try something.]
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winsettr:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
it should be the first partition and is probably ( most often ) the only partition.

I don't know OSX but on Linux you have to specifically flag as a boot partition (if I remember correctly).

Dual Boot NT with CM7 & CM9

You can dual boot both CM7 (on SDCard) and CM9 (on internal memory). I can confirm that this DOES work on NT8. See my video series for more: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL676779C4F7BE8FEB&feature=mh_lolz

Hi! I've been enjoying CM7 on an SD card on my 8NT for the last couple of days. However, as of some point today, it boots up showing the TEAM-B screen, plays the Cyanogenmod animation, shows the lock screen for a quick moment and then reboots and launches into the Stock B&N ROM.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I was getting my CM7 install pretty much exactly the way I wanted it. Would hate to have to start from scratch again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Is development now stalled on CM7 for the Nook Tablet? There were bugs and issues that were never addressed, and hardware that has yet to be unlocked to its full potential. If I could code, I would be working on this. Alas, I'm not a coder and my attempts to learn have been futile. It would be a shame if this were the end for CM7, and who knows what's going on with CM9 at this point, which is why I was holding out hope for CM7. Oh well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
Please keep in mind, many of the devs are students and this is finals time and such. Celtic announced he was stepping away from this project for a while, having mostly released Cm7 on the NT to prove a point. He decided his marriage was more important, this project was not worth the stress.

The new Kernel is coming along nicely. When it is done we will have much more stable and awesome ROMs. Be patent, or sell your NT and buy a Galaxy Tab.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] swc2001:
This may have been covered but my search didnt bring it up.

Currently I am using the Internal version of CM7.

I love it. However I would like to dual boot so I could have the Stock Nook as well. There are several features of the Stock Nook that I would like to use from time to time.

So I was thinking about getting the SD version of CM7. Then I started thinking.... When you put on CWM how do you back up the CM7 on the SD? How do you Restore it?

How do you Back up the Stock Nook and How do you restore it?
