Glad to see it works. You could always play around with it. Just shutdown the nook, put the sdcard in you computer and copy of the OC kernel. I would rename the current kernel in case you want to go back.
[Nook Color Android Development] devis:
can't get it to work, I've tried all builds.

WiFi errors out while trying to turn it on.

Apps don't open, a "force close" dialog box comes up.

All in all, practically useless.

Ideas anyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
It seems that the people with faster cards tend to have problems. Do you have a slower card you can play with. I really can't explain it. The only way I have been able to set the wallpaper without problem is to set them from the browser. I use m.flikie.com to find the images.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I would try a different card if none of the builds are work.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
So i finally put this on an sd card and tried it. the first time i tried this, i had nothing but problems, ive been playing with it for about 5 min now, and i can tell already its working loads better then before. Its a bit sluggish for my liking (im chocking this up to the class 4 sd card im using) aside from that, so far so good. Im pretty excited about getting froyo on my nook. the one thing i really have been disappointed about is the lack of flash. and this will most definitely fix this. I might be ready to take the plunge to emmc this. ill keep playing with this for a bit and see how things work out.

one question i have, is there any way to remap the volume up to back, and volume down to menu. I did that on my stock build, and i prefer it, rather then having volume, as i use the back menu buttons more.

update: Web browsing is very slow, and its taking forever to pull down my google account info so i can go to the market, is this something to expect on a class 4 sd card i am using a patriot 8gb class 4 card.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
I am running a 8gb Sandsik card and am having so speed issues. I am also using the 1100Mhz OC kernel which also has helped. Have you tried another SD card?
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
ive tried a few different sd card's this is the only one i can get to boot. maybe i should try oc. but it should not be running this slowly, im hoping its just the class 4 sd..

the other thing im noticing, is it seems to go into a coma from time to time. and i get no video, and no response to pressing the power button. not sure what that is. Curious if any one is having a similar experience. also curious how this would change if i flash the emmc.
[Nook Color Android Development] ganovim:
which 1100Mhz OC kernel version are you running?

I have tried a few, and there were all kinds of glitches and crashes.
[Nook Color Android Development] ganovim:
which of all the OC kernels would work with you .6.7 sdcard rom?

I have tried some but have had various glitches
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
i just flashed it with 1100 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

so far so good. seems to be a bit more responsive. but im still exp the same issues prior to the kernel upgrade.

1 i cant seem to download any thing off the market just says "unsuccessful"

2 im also getting some google talk authentication failed error

lets see if it goes into a coma with the updated kernel now.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Run the kms script that I created... This will kill the mediaserver when it goes crazy.

su
kms
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Deleting data from Google Framework then a reboot clears up the google talk issue. At the same time, you might as well clear the market cache.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
Have you done the market fix? That fixed the issue for me. Here is what I did:

Use Nook Color Tools:

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > (Filter by all) Market > Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Services Framework > Clear Data > Force Close

Reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
how do i run this? i opened the terminal emulator, but i get kms not found. also how does this help, if the unit wont display a screen, do i have to plug this into my pc and do this through adb?

trying your other suggestion now.
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
just ran your latest, but it's installing .6.6 for some reason??
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Are you using the latest image that I put out there? If not, here is what the script does.

su
kill $(ps -aef | grep mediaserver)

Just to explain what is going on, when the nook boots, the mediaserver is started automatically, and someone on another thread noticed that the CPU usage was in the 90% precent or higher. If you kill it, it will restart. If it starts using the CPU again at that level, just kill it again until is running right. To see if is using up the CPU run the top command. Everytime I reboot my nook, I run the command and I don't have any problems.

su
top

While the top command is running hit 'a' to refresh and 'q' to quit.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
well.. now google talk closes instantly, and market errors out. i think i cleared data, not cache. /sigh.... i think ill just flash the sd card and start over.
[Nook Color Android Development] DatterBoy:
Market errors are the only thing keeping me from enjoying this. I go from downloads starting and stopping, to FCs, to unsuccessful downloads. I've seen the whole range. The "fix" does not work.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Sorry, it is 6.7. I just forgot to chance the message in the CWR zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
@john10101 and Datterboy

Are you setting up your gmail account under settings>accounts & sync?
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
yes. and its there, and eventually i get email in the gmail app (takes an extremely long amount of time) I wiped the sd card and started fresh. followed the steps earlier about cleaning cash on market, and clearing data on services framework.

market says "an error as occurred please try again later"

Talk just spins like its connecting forever.

I sit at a blackscreen waiting alot....
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
ok so i just wiped the sd card again, and repushed the image. i put my wireless in, and added my gmail account through the account & sync settings. it appears to default to sync off. so i have turned that on. its running very slow. its been at least 20 min and i still dont have email. but i do have the sync logo, and i have an error for google talk authentication failed. what should be my next step?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Use the terminal in the app drawer and run these commands:

su
kms
kms
kms

If you have adb then run these commands:

adb shell kms
adb shell kms
adb shell kms

Just leave the google talk error go for now. Try to get into the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
i get kms not found. though both adb, and terminal.

when i go into the market, i can see apps, but when i attempt to download one i get "download was unsuccessful please try again" although it never looked like it attempted to download.
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
I am back up and running. I had root explorer and found market enabler online. I mounted r/w and installed market enabler. I just selected the verizon profile and set to fake now. i am going to set fake on boot so i have market all the time. Man what a pain in the but. If i only thought of it earlier.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
My market is running, but even with the Nexus build.prop fingerprint, i still can't get the "protected" apps... stupid google.
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
I even did that as well and alot of the apps aren't showing up. I am wondering if the line of code above the fingerprint code needs to be edited as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] block911:
Same problem, did a fresh install and had my gmail account setup and when I go into market it doesn't download anything. Tried the tricks posted earlier and nothing works which defeats the point of all this.

Is there a way to get market on rooted default NOOK rom as it seems much more stable then nookie or honeycomb
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
Yep use the stock rom that comes w/ root and install market. If you have root explorer and market enabler your market will work. Install market enabler via root explorer and then open market explorer select whatever profile you want long press and select set for boot or the other option. Is you select set for boot you need to buy the donation, so select the other option so you can start downloading again.

Resounding success here installing Froyo using a 8GB type 4 card.

However, I am feeling a bit like a simpleton trying to get full access to my 8GB card. I used testdisk to rewrite the 4th partition on the card, and I see a full partition using all 972 sectors... but in Froyo I still see only ~500 megs of on-system memory and ~800 megs of "sd card" memory. Any tips?

Also, I want to add that particularly coming from HC (yes I know its a dev build) the interface is extremely snappy. Much snappier than the stock nook as well. Using the 1100 kernel certainly helps, but I did a few boots with stock 800 kernel and that felt pretty snappy as well.

However, running Quadrant I get a score of about 1000 with the 1100 Froyo kernel, whereas I get a score in excess of 1600 with the HC 1100 kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] saeba:
I hope there are plans to update this image with Nookie Froyo 0.6.8. I'd particularly like to see this fix:

o Touchscreen enhancements - no need to toggle screen on boot and better responsiveness around the edges - thanks deeper-blue!

And thanks for the work on this thus far. I really like being able to have the original Nook Color while being able to boot up Froyo from SD. Cool stuff :-)!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
From what i can tell, if you are already running dalingrin's overclocked kernel, you already have the fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] saeba:
Good tip. I'm not, but will try it out. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] jhnstn00:
Ok anyone know how to get this feature back after updating softkeys and zeam from the market?
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
I am having the issue of seeing the little softkey icon on all my screens before I just used the 'n' button to bring up softkeys at the bottom of the screen. Would like to get rid of the little button.

brianf21 - Any idea when you will be updating this ROM to 0.6.8 NF? Thanks!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Go to top item in softkeys and uncheck run softkeys as a service. I will update it.
[Nook Color Android Development] jkurl:
Brian, the market error is still there, but clear cache and force stopping is working now. I have market enabler set for fake upon boot just incase.

I already have AutoNooter 3.0 installed on my Nook. Can I still use this Nookies Froyo from SDcard?
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
Yes you can. When you want to go back to rooted stock, just turn off your Nook, pull the SD card, and turn the Nook back on.
[Nook Color Android Development] devilisht2003:
Got evrrything running but apps wont download from the market.....idea why?
[Nook Color Android Development] trentmaynard:
help please

I really hate bothering the good people of this site. and I'm sure the information I seek has been posted here some where already. I just really don't feel like browsing through a 1000 threads to find it. my question, I have my nook color rooted and running froyo from the sd card. and for the most part its excellent. the thing is, when the screen goes after two minutes, as it always does. you have to press the power or N key or what ever to unlock it and browse again. the problem is after unlocking the device for the 5 or 6th time the device completely shuts off and it has to be turned on again. why does it do this? does this happen to everyone? is there a way to fix it? I don't have set cpu installed and I'm running the screamer kernel. I know the first thing to do is assume that its the kernel or some thing I did wrong. but I've used every different kernel including the stock kernel. and installed set cpu before and have set to different settings including on demand or or interactive. I'm stumped I'd really appreciate some in this matter. thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] devilisht2003:
Ok, read about the market fix and cleared the market cache and framework data and rebooted....now the market won't launch. Get an error that says try again later. Any thoughts???
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
Can I ask what brand of SD card you are using? Also, have you tried re-burning the image to the SD card? I had some issues at one point and ended re-burning the image and that fixed it. For whatever reason I had a bad burn.
[Nook Color Android Development] ddrddr:
Noob user ...

- stock 1.1 firmware, previously rooted by former owner, not sure if un-rooted now

1) does the NC need to be rooted for this procedure? i'm asking because there's a 'dual-boot' thread that only works on non-rooted devices

2) is there a package for 0.6.8 on a SD card?

3) i'm guessing i will not have access to the extra gb's of space on the nook when i run off the SD card? (i have a 2gb one, but it seems small to me)

4) if i'm installing it on a 2gb sd card first, is there some type of sector by sector copy software that I can use to transfer it to a new and bigger card later on? or will I have to do this process again? would titanium backup work this way?

5) 'Monster RootPack 0.7 / Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 SD' -> brianf's instructions

- is this a good or correct flow for rooting and getting froyo onto a SD card? or should i use auto-nooter instead?

6) so i turn off the nook and eject the sd card and turn it back on to have it in stock mode?

Thanks in advance =)
[Nook Color Android Development] daemonfly:
Just FYI - I'm using stock image provided in first post. No SetCPU. I have no issues with shut-offs, and I use this as a remote for a HTPC, so it has been locked & unlocked many many times since my last manual reboot. The only issue I've had was one time where the touchscreen became unresponsive to any input (all the hardware buttons worked fine), and I had to force a power-off. I don't know of any fixes, aside from asking if you've tried to redownload and reinstall to SD card. If not, you could have a bad download or even bad copy to card, or perhaps the card itself is the problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] ddbarnes65:
Thanks So Much!

This thread has been a great help adding some functionality to my new Nook Color. I just couldn't get the adb to work so this has been an awesome blessing. Everthing works beyond my greatest expectation and I will be using the sd card boot as my primary. Market, mail, everythiing works after your cache clearing directions. Would paypal the developer $ if you have a name. I can't put this thing down!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
This will not effect the internal memory in any way. The only thing that changed between 0.6.7 and 0.6.8 is the ability to format the sdcard. If you are booting to the sdcard, you should not format it in anyways. Otherwise, you will erase the os. This will not root your internal os, but the os on the sdcard has been prerooted by cicada.

If you are having issues with the device locking up, it is probably the mediaserver using all the CPU. I wrote an app that allow you to view the CPU usage and kill (it will automatically restart) the mediaserver. Let me know how it works out. Here is the link:

[Nook Color Android Development] yazyazoo:
Anyone know why I can't find Skyfire Browser in the Apps market? Also what are good sites to test Flash Video with?

I have Auto Nooter 3. I had to install ad-hoc to get it to tether to my phone. When I tried Nookie Froyo the ad-hoc wireless works. Is this because I had installed it already on Auto Nooter?

I am got a friend that is going to get a Nook and use Nookie Froyo. Is this ad-hoc feature built in or was it because I already installed it?

Also anyone OC? I like this nookie froyo on sdcard and I want to probably just go straight to this rather than auto nooter.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
It's great to have Froyo on an sd card. Worked per your instructions on the first post. A note regarding wifi. My NC does not like the 802.11n router at home or at work with ROM 1.1 unrooted or rooted with Auto-nooter 3.0.0. The wifi kept on disconnecting or "testing connection" unless I set the router to 802.11g only.

Froyo seems to fix that - so is the problem with BN's changes to Android 2.1 or with the "stock" Android 2.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
Disregard. Sorry.

BTW. Running smoothly. Thank you for all the hard work ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] player911:
Flashing this to the eMMC results in an instant shut down. I can't even boot into the homescreen. The first thing I see is "Powering Down".

I thought it was perhaps because my battery was too low, but booting another rom off an SD card shows I have 60-80%.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
This runs off an SD card and is not eMMC flashable. The OP has a flashable version in another thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
This is not for the eMMC. This actually runs from the SDCARD. You are using the wrong image.

Edit: Sorry, did not see your post, Snyperx.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hi brianf21,

Does your image have issues with some apps FC as well? Eg. XDA app. If so. Did you try the method suggested by jamm4r to get a device ID? And if you did. Did it work? Sorry to jump on your thread.

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
The free version gives an FC. The paid version doesn't have any problems. I have not have the time to try the fix yet. As soon as I try it out, I will post the results.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Thanks. Apprreciate it.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Racks,

Do you have a patch file that works with the framework.jar that is in cicada's build? Is so, post it so I don't have to recompile framework.jar with j4mm3r code. Looks like a good idea. If nothing else, it will help with the Market issue everyone has. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I tried taking the merged 1.1.0 patch decad3nce posted and changing the corresponding lines to the the telephony.smali. but when I run the patch I get 2 hunks succeeded failed in hunk #3 line 1256. Maybe you could take a look at it. I'll see if I can pm you the patch file tomorrow.

hi guys, just got my nook. may i know what the difference between this "Customized Nookie Froyo" and the nookie froyo from cicada?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
For both images, I added software to cicada images. The emmc image run from the internal memory and void your warranty. The sdcard image runs off you sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] icoX:
hi! thanks for clearing my doubts.

i just installed this, however i can't download any apps from the market. it says download unsuccessful.

and i got an 8gb micro sd card but in the settings page the available space for sd card is only 110mb , 458mb for internal space.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
I believe you need to resize your partition on the SD card after the image is burned. It should be a FAT32 partition that you resize. I used Easeus Partition Master to do it.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Delete data from Google Framework and cache from Market then reboot to clear up the Market issue. I will look at sdcard issue when I get home or read the above post.

Minimum speed for microSD card

I have the Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 image for SD card on a 8GB Class 4 microSD card. I thought I would go this route first before committing to an eMMC version.

But, what I'm finding is that when compared to my rooted Android 2.1 (B&N version 1.00) version, the Nooks is running very slowly and in general feels very unresponsive with a lot of lag when pressing icons or even pressing the keys on the keyboard.

Is this due to the Class 4 card that I'm using? I'm just wondering if I should be expecting much higher performance if I install an eMMC version of 0.6.8.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
No, it seems to more responsive. Your mediaserver might be using up a lot of the cpu time. I put an app on 0.6.8 that allows you to restart the mediaserver when it is acting up. Plus I added the latest kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
brianf21,

Looks like I can't test the 8Gb image. I only have 7.5Gb available on my 8Gb card so when I try and burn the image its says not enough space:-(
[Nook Color Android Development] mrmagoo13:
What's odd is that I had a live wallpaper installed (the water/leaf one) and the leaves move around and the water ripples with no stutters. I can launch google maps and scroll around and the maps update quickly. I can use the Dolphin Browser and it zips along. But, when I'm downloading an app (Adobe Flash) from the market, market itself is slow to respond and the download speed seems to be the old school modem rate of 2400 baud. I'm only 50% downloading even though I had started the download 2 hours ago! I know it's not marketplace or the Internet connection because my Android Smartphone (connected to the same wireless access point) download speeds aren't affected.

I'll download the 0.6.8 SD version and give that a try.
[Nook Color Android Development] anurbanlegend:
Quick question, I'm running 0.6.7 on SD right now with everything setup nicely. How would I go about updating it to 0.6.8(or any future versions) without having to reset everything up? Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] jtseidner:
Hey all, I posted this in the emmc version, but im sure this probably works the same for the sdcard version. Please try this out and see if it works?

I think I stumbled upon a temporary fix to make notification stretch completely across in the status bar. I happened to be playing around with the LCDDensity app last night. I changed the density to 170 and then back to 160 and now the notifications fill the pull down.

I was also able to get the same effect running this through the terminal emulator

su

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 170

busybox killall system_server

then to go back to 160:

su

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 160

busybox killall system_server

I say this is a temporary soloution because it reverts back upon a full reboot.

1. Is anyone else able to replicate this?

2. Is there a way to have a script run on start up that could keep the notifications stretched?
[Nook Color Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
also looking and would appreciate any insight. thanks. ;)
