[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
Nookie Froyo 0.6.8

is a development build of Froyo 2.2.1 for the Nook Color.

ClockworkMod flashable! - info below, please *read carefully* before flashing!

This build is near-AOSP and contains almost no extra software not deemed required for the device to function normally.

It is pre-rooted with SuperUser, busybox, SoftKeys v3.07, and ROM Manager 3.0.0.5 however.

The eventual intention will be a build that other devs and users can easily fork and create their own custom builds, themes, roms, etc.

** THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT BUILD **

Use this at your own risk! Myself, XDA, and NookDevs are *NOT RESPONSIBLE* for anything that happens directly or indirectly related to this software!

We're approaching a daily driver! Most things work now, including mp3 and video playback. Post any bugs you find here!

I'd like to thank all the nook color devs involved in getting to this state, testing, documenting, etc. We've got an amazing group of minds behind this device!

INFO

The microSD card image contains 4 partitions:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 : boot (fat32)

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 : system (ext2)

/dev/block/mmcblk1p3 : data (ext3)

/dev/block/mmcblk1p4 : sdcard (fat32)

Use these partition IDs when following guides that require mounting/remounting filesystems.

What's Working:

MP3 playback

Video playback

Youtube, Pandora and other mp4 streaming apps (apps not included)

Accelerometer!

Wifi (adhoc + infrastructure!)

Graphics acceleration (LWP!)

Sound

Browser

Mostly working

Lockscreen is wrong size - REBOOT to fix

Not included / Not working

gapps ( gmail, youtube, maps, etc ) - can be installed, youtube fixed!

Bluetooth

FM radio

This build was created using the B&N kernel sources for 1.0.0, Omappedia's Froyo source ( currently RLS27.9.0.RC0 ), and binary drivers from TI for wireless, SGX530 acceleration, and DSP codecs.

Download:

This SD image requires a 2GB microSD card! Bigger is OK, smaller is not ok!

Note: if you wish to use a larger microSD card, you can use a partition editor to increase the size of the /sdcard partition (partition 4, fat32) *after* writing the image to your card.

Simply unzip this image and dd the file to your (empty) SD card, just like nooter.

This archive also contains an uncompressed ramdisk image which you can easily edit, package, and copy to your boot partition.

ClockworkMod Flashable ZIP!

*IMPORTANT*

- please wipe data/factory reset if you're coming from B&N stock firmware or another rom!!

- please see other threads about installing and using CWM recovery - keep this thread to NF issues please

- this has been tested only using CWM 3.0.0.5 downloaded from market, be warned it may not work with IOMonster's kit or other versions. Let us know if you try and it does!

- replaces kernel and ramdisk - if you were using an alternate kernel you'll need to reflash it.

- This will irrevocably erase and replace the software on your eMMC! MAKE BACKUPS BEFORE FLASHING, you have been warned.

If you're upgrading from an older version of Nookie Froyo, you should not have to wipe - however if you do have problems *wipe data* and try again.

*IMPORTANT* - this zip does not require any extra steps such as formatting /boot, changing system permissions, and does not replace or remove CWM. If you are coming from a ROM that required these extra steps and are having issues, *please post your questions there* so the dev can be prompted to correct those issues properly.

If you're coming from a rom that doesn't support CWM properly see the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11437545

Installing /system will take some time, and the progress bar doesn't update in realtime; you haven't 'locked up', just be patient as it may take a few minutes.

Please do not PM me for help, that's what this forum and the IRC rooms are for - I simply do not have the time to answer all of your questions, and asking them in a public forum will allow others with the same issue to help or learn from your experience!
