[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
I theme quite a bit. Heck I used to theme all day. I have at least 6 full themes for sense 3.0. I know I did a full bravo theme for the rezound for gb, including a separate skin to go with it. I haven't had time to look at the framework for ICS yet so porting will take time.

You have to also keep in mind that I, along with several others came from the Thunderbolt. The framework or png's were completely different sizes on sense 3.0. When we all moved over to the Rezound, we realized we pretty much needed to redo a years worth of theming and upgrade all of our work to sense 3.5 png's.

I spent days trying to update one theme to sense 3.5 only to find out ICS came out a short while later. So, now all my work has to be matched up then ported over again to ICS which hasn't been done yet.

The big thing for some of the big themers here on the Rezound are skins. Simply because we make profit on the market. I barely have another skin to roll out for sense 3.5 gb and that took several weeks to complete. I plan on rolling out at least 5 more before I even begin to start theming for ICS. Unless ICS rolls out to the rezound sooner, I wouldn't count on a lot of themes for it.

I'm on ICS as I'm writing this but about all I'm going to put out for ICS are dialers.

[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Theming will pick up once a official ota is out bc no one want to theme something and then rebase when we get a leak ... At least that's why I'm not theming right now lol

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] racinwarrior:
FYI some stuff like dialers and other system apps will work on pretty much all the ROMS since they are all based on the same ICS leak

anything that changes the framework or systemUI is most likely ROM specific. you can however port images from one rom to another manually....if you have the time
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
You can go to the UOT Kitchen and easily do some light theming on your own. It's kind of fun!
[HTC Rezound] hardfallen87:
I was already doing my own light theming like status bar icons. I just flashed to Rez 2.1 and am in the works of teaching myself more advanced theming to hopefully throw some out here on xda.
[HTC Rezound] who MIKE D:
Why theme a themed ROM??? lol
[HTC Rezound] hardfallen87:
cause im not happy unless im messing around with something haha.
[HTC Rezound] hardfallen87:
by the way mike, i finally jumped to ics, rez 2.1. i lost your gtalk name pm me with it if you dont mind.

Is there any kernels for 2.17 that are able to be over locked and the camera and video etc work?

If so can you point me in the right direction? I searched. Couldn't find any.
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
Anthrax. The 2.17 base kernels
[HTC EVO 3D] youdug:
go to infectedrom.com you will see AnthraX v2 in the Evo 3d section. you have to register first. and READ the opening post for the kernel or you will never be able to figure out how to download it.

I found it right after I posted this. Thanks guys.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmeyerhead:
This is straight from the mSD card that they have been using at every B&N. So you can just do it yourself at your convenience.

Gives you 8GB of external storage and the rest is for Barnes and Noble content.

Just a note. You must have stock recovery for this to work not CMW or other.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] carlo.edmon:
Failed Several Times

I tried this several times but my media storage was still 1GB. Do I need to write the attached image or just copy it straight forward. When just copying, I can't pursue with the factory reset.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] techsavvy68:
Same thing here, tried several times and still getting 1GB
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moonlonely:
Ditto. I was able to perform a factory reset, but I still have just 1GB of user storage after the update.

I suspect the problem may have something to do with the NOOK Tablet not recognizing the microSD card. I've noticed when using ClockworkMod that sometimes I have to remove it and re-insert it before it's recognized -- but there's no way to tell whether the stock recovery is seeing the card or not.

I tried removing/re-inserting it a few times during one of the three attempts to use this img, but that didn't seem to help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] techsavvy68:
That's the issue I had, not recognizing the card itself. I even copied the file unto a different card altogether and same thing. Still working on it, not ready to give up on it just yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
No luck here and I'm sure it's not my cards. The couple cards I've tried all work with CWM. I've tried 2 different 1GB cards, a 256MB card, a 4GB card and an 8GB card.... I don't feel like clearing out my 32GB card. I've tried both FAT and FAT32. Does this need a different format, such as ext2? I've also tried using Win32DiskImager to actually "write" the image to the card... This I only tried on the 256MB.

jmeyerhead, any chance of getting a MD5 checksum? I have f94cd4df7351f81a2623f15e1853e205 .

CRS... Did you do anything that the rest of us haven't listed? Did you download from a different location?

EDIT: I'm also running the stock recovery. I run CWM off SD when I need it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
To use this you will need a 50MB FAT32 LBA Bootable partition with MLO, u-boot.bin from b&n update 1.4.2 and flashing_boot.img from the first post.

I extracted the kernel and ramdisk and they have a couple of shell scripts to do all the work.

However the scripts refer to a second ext3 partition on the sdcard which will allow you to reinstall the tablet from scratch as they do in the factory

I was able to pull the executables genpart make_ext4fs mkdosfs simg2img busybox etc and push them to my nook running with clockwork mod. Then inside a adb shell I was able to restore my tablet completely the only files I needed were the rombackup.zip from the original so that I retained my serial etc

Here is a approximate record of the steps I did inside the adb shell

#!/bin/sh

export emmc_total_sectors=31129600
export disk_total_sectors=31117905
export disk_media_sectors=25165823

./busybox cp rombackup.zip /mnt/factory/
cd /mnt/factory
/tmp/byhand/busybox unzip factory.zip romrestore.zip
cd /tmp/byhand

I did fiddle with the partition sizes a bit since I wanted 12.6GB so the exports at the beginning are different from what is in the flashing_boot.img

BIG FAT WARNING - I did this and it works form me don't try it unless you feel confident to recover from a clockworkmod booting off a sdcard
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Well, mine is bricked. I can boot CWM SD though so I'm sure all is not lost. I'll have to experiment with it later. Just so everyone else knows I made formatted the disk as stated, copied the stated files. When I booted I immediately got a "software update" screen (I don't think I even held the n button down). Then once done it said to remove the card and restart.... never restarted (screen didn't light up, no 'n' screen, nada. I popped in my CWM SD and it did boot. Tried restoring a backup but that won't boot either. Should have stuck to the manual method or just gone in... I was hoping for something in the middle as far as complexity.

UPDATE: Ok, well I've gone in with Parted and let it correct the found errors (the expected ones reported in the manual formatting thread). Looking at the output from parted the repartitioning worked but something got screwed up. I've tried another restore after letting Parter do its thing but no joy. Is there anything else I should try while I'm in CWM and have ADB up? Any ideas?

Oh, and mine is a 16GB NT.... not 8GB and not Nook Color. I'm trying to download Adam's total wipe Ubuntu image but the host has exceeded its daily limit and the torrent is near dead.... So I'll just hurry up and wait while continuing to try different fixes via CWM.

EDIT: Read on. I did actually get my NT partitioned but ran into some issues with the file system I didn't expect. Thanks to meghd00t everything is now working perfectly... Read on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
if you have a copy of acclaim_update.zip for 1.4.0 or the b&n updates for 1.4.1.or 1.4.2 rename the file to acclaim_update.zip put it on the root of a FAT32 formated sd card and boot the nook by inserting the usb cable

if the steps from my previous post have worked all you need is a partition table MLO u-boot.bin boot.img recovery.img and rombackup.zip

when the tablet boots just like it looks for flashing_boot.img it also looks for the acclaim_update.zip if it is present and the MLO u-boot boot and recovery are OK it will completely reflash the OS to stock - However to retain serial number and B&N website access preserve the rombackup.zip from the factory partition
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Did your thread get cut off?

Well, obviously I don't know how to set this up properly. I assume that it had actually booted off the internal system and not the SD I *thought* I set up. Is there a tutorial on building a SD properly for this or should I just go ahead and go with AdamOutler's Ubuntu card? Do I need to take a special precautions in either case to preserve the serial number?

Thanks for all the help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
Actually I had the exact same experience as you, so when the partition table was fixed I did not bother to create the contents of the 2nd ext3 partition, Instead I just copied the necessary files in adb and used dd to install MLO, u-boot, boot & recovery format all the Fat32 & ext4 partitions and copied factory.zip rombackup.zip to the factory partition and allowed the factory reset to happen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
from a quick look at the script the 2nd ext3 partition should atleast have these files

mkdir /images_to_flash
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /images_to_flash
if [ -f /images_to_flash/preflash.img ]; then
test -r /images_to_flash/noshutdown && cp /images_to_flash/noshutdown /
test -r /images_to_flash/version.ppm.gz && fbsplash -s /images_to_flash/version.ppm.gz
dd if=/images_to_flash/preflash.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M conv=notrunc,fsync
simg2img /images_to_flash/factory.img /dev/mmcblk0p7
umount /images_to_flash
elif [ ! -f /images_to_flash/factory.img ]; then
if [ -f /images_to_flash/bootcnt ]; then
dd if=/images_to_flash/MLO of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/images_to_flash/u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/images_to_flash/recovery.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p3
test -r /images_to_flash/boot.img && dd if=/images_to_flash/boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p4
if [ -f /images_to_flash/factory.zip ]; then
cp /images_to_flash/factory.zip /mnt/factory/factory.zip
dd if=/images_to_flash/MLO of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,fsync
dd if=/images_to_flash/u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,fsync
dd if=/images_to_flash/recovery.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,fsync
dd if=/images_to_flash/boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p4 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,fsync
test -r /images_to_flash/factory.img && simg2img /images_to_flash/factory.img /dev/mmcblk0p7
if [ ! -f /images_to_flash/factory.img ]; then
test -r /images_to_flash/system.img && simg2img /images_to_flash/system.img /dev/mmcblk0p8
if [ -f "/images_to_flash/factory.img" ]; then
if [ -f /images_to_flash/factory.zip ]; then
cp /images_to_flash/factory.zip /mnt/factory/factory.zip
if [ -f "/images_to_flash/factory.img" ]; then
umount /images_to_flash

I guess these could be made by

1. preflash.img - ignore we dont want a factory install

2. bootcnt - dd if=/dev/zero of=bootcnt bs=4 count=1

3. MLO - unzip from factory.zip and rename

4. u-boot.bin - unzip from factory.zip

5. boot.img - unzip from factory.zip

6. recovery.img - unzip from factory.zip

7. factory.zip - rename the acclaim_update.zip for 1.4.0 or rename one of the b&n updates for 1.4.1 or 1.4.2

8. factory.img - this i think is a blank ext4 fs on a sparse disk, however if it does not exist the script will format the partition

9. system.img - not required

Why dont you go ahead and create a 2nd ext3 partition on the sdcard and create these files I am sure you will be able to unbrick and retain the rombackup and all the serials etc

just FYI I am attaching the shell script inside the flashing_boot.img that is doing all the work
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
This script will create a SDCARD Image that you can dd onto any sdcard more that 512MB

turn off the nook

insert card

connect usb cable either to charger or PC to boot

and it will do the rest

I have used 1.4.0 to make mine so it works on 16GB devices but if I redo it with 1.4.2 it will work fine even or 8GB devices.

I am not posting the image since I dont have any hosting - but with the script and the files and a linux box you can make your own

mkdir ~/sdimage
cd ~/sdimage/
cp ../acclaim_update.zip factory.zip
cp ../flashing_boot.img .
unzip factory.zip MLO\*
unzip factory.zip u-boot.bin
mv MLO_es2.3_BN MLO
unzip factory.zip boot.img
unzip factory.zip recovery.img

dd if=/dev/zero of=repart.img bs=500M count=1
echo -e "0,32,c,*\n,,L\n" | sfdisk -H128 -S32 -D -f repart.img

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mapper/loop0p1 d/p1

sudo cp MLO d/p1/

sudo cp flashing_boot.img d/p1/

sudo cp MLO d/p2/

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Thank you very much!

I was off by quite a bit in my approach... Trying to bludgeon my way through it via ADB in Windows wasn't making things easier. I don't use Ubuntu often but I do keep it installed for occasions such as this.

Notes for other who make/use this image:

When I was ready to go it took several times of pressing the power button (I probably pressed every combination possible out of desperation) before it came to life. It booted up and came to the "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE" (or similar text) screen and a red X was in the upper right corner. Where I'm used to seeing this message go away and the Nook prompting me to eject my card before turning the device off all that happened was it remained on the warning screen but the red X was replaced with a green check mark after a couple minutes. Being paranoid, I probably left it on that screen for 30+ minutes before I finally forced it off, took out the card, booted into CWM, restored my backup image and now I'm all set! (My serial number was uneffected despite all my clumsy efforts to kill this NT). I had 1.4.0 installed and this image was made using files from the 1.4.0 acclaim_update.zip.

Meghd00t, thanks again for your help with this! I'll see about hosting this image file somewhere for a little while.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
I'm glad that worked for you - the most reliable way to trigger a proper boot from sdcard is power off completly insert the card you want to boot from and power on by inserting the USB cable which is either plugged into the charger or your computer

OMG/SHUCKS

Was way excited with original post; downloaded: doesn't work. Do not want to go into B&N to have them do it---want to keep 1.40 and was told I'd be upgraded to 1.42. Fiddling with the script is way beyond me. Thanks anyway.

I am not going to mess with this until I see some of the people who knows what they are doing posting. I mean names like indirect, fattire, Goncezilla, Adamoutler, Or a number of the other developers. Not saying this isnt useful just not useful to me in its current state and I would rather get feedback from those who know the nook better then others.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
The process of repartitioning manually is well documented and proven. This is about just getting the store method running so it may be applied outside of the store. If the manual method is too much you needn't announce your dissatisfaction with the store method experimentation of others and should just take yours into the store already.

The sdcard image meghd00t laid out worked perfectly for me.

I feel if the "Big Name Developers" were to work on refining the stuff that already works then new guys like me will be out in the cold. All I have done is repackage the work done by the same developers and made it easy to use for guys who are less experienced than me so that the others can benefit.

Also as fattire and indirect keep encouraging new hackers to contribute unless we make an effort to translate our understanding of the work that was done before and build on it then we are just consumers and not contributors.

I have a second v1.4.1 unrooted nt Best Buy. Open box special. The first unit is 1.40 rooted indirect method and I am impressed with it warts and all. I would like to use the new nt to go to CM7 final. I have not done the CWM or CM7 sd boot routine yet. Barnes &Noble is 15 minutes away should I have them do the repartion v142 or shrouded I root to v1.40. I have a fear factor but I want try. Cm7 and 9

All the Best
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Unless I've missed something, you can reflash back to 1.4.0 after the folks at B&N repartition your NT. So if you like the partitioning scheme that B&N offers and don't mind going in a possibly leaving it with them for a little bit then you shouldn't let the fact that they flash 1.4.2 bother you... You can flash right back to 1.4.0 or 1.4.1. I partitioned mine and the image I used flashed 1.4.0 back on.

On the other hand you can make your own SD to do the repartitioning AND flash whichever version OS you want by following the directions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562130 or by following the recipe outlined in this thread. I've got the image I built which gives me 1.4.0 but it's 500MB and I haven't beat it up enough to release it for everyone's consumption.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] captkrunch:
Cre

Is it right to assume v1.4.0 is stock and you would proceed to root it. and can I now use a SanDisk 8 gig class 2 sd card make it bootable using the image you posted on developer forum and win32 program

"All the Best"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
It's the same as if you were to take it in to Barnes and Noble and have them to it except that it installs 1.4.0. Yes, everything is wiped and yes, you do need to root afterward (or restore a clockworkmod backup from your previous, rooted setup). I don't know about booting from a larger card, I have a few small microSD cards which I keep around for specifically this type of occasion. If there were to be an issue with the card size the most likely problem is that the disc just wouldn't boot.

Remember! Do NOT use my supplied image in a 8GB Nook Tablet!!!

First, thank you very much to those who are working this out to make it a bit easier on the rest of us. Your work is very much appreciated.

After trying exactly what the poster above tried I am in the same position. When using meghd00t's sd card image I get the "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE" warning with the red X. After that it shuts down on its own and when I reboot the partition table remains as it did before.

Any ideas?
