[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
First, I would like to thank cicada for the 0.6.8 image, thecubed for sdcard bootable CWR image, shad0wf0x for his stock images, dalingrin for his kernel, rookie1 for his buttons, Wretchedlocket for his icon and theme help and samuelhalff for his help and his CWR image that I customized. This should fit on a 2GB or larger sdcard.

I've created a custom image for an SDCard using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 as a base. This will fit a 2 GB or larger sdcard. If you want the sdcard to be larger, you will need to delete the 4th partition and recreate it. It should be a FAT32 format and give it a label of sdcard. Added custom bootanimation.zip designed just for us Chuck6993. Thank you Chuck6993. If you like the bootanimation, please visit his thread and get him some beer. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952188

3/31/11

dalingrin's 3/28/11 NF kernel

Cleaned up the status bar

Long press on home virtual key to pull up recent apps

Force the status bar in all application; look under NookColorUtils (I am not happy with this app, I am going to completely rewrite it shortly.)

Fixed strange flick behavior on status bar (I have not worked on the flick up and flick down yet)

Browser fix is included in the image

For more on the status bar, see this thread.

Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock

Issues:

If flash is not working in either Dolphin or the Android Browser, you most likely cleared dalvik-cache.

The fix: I have included a copy of flash on the sdcard partition, if flash stops working, go to the sdcard in Astro and tap not press the flash apk. You will be prompted to open the app manager. Uninstall flash then go back into Astro then tap it again to reinstall it. After that is done, go to both Dophin and the Android Browser and delete data and cache under the applications in settings.

3/18/2011:

Unzip the attached framework.zip and copy to /system/framework/

This will be difficult for Windows users unless you have adb installed, but I would like some Linux users to test it out. I will try to write a script/app that will unzip and copy directly on the device. If someone else wants to write the script that would be okay too. I am try to avoid making everyone re-image their sdcard just to get the update.

Now to the good stuff, I have everything, messages, buttons and icons on the status bar centered vertically and the drop down notification bar is full screen at 160 LCD density.

Let me know how you like it and how you installed it. We need to come up with a easy install for non-techies that boot to the sdcard.

3/15/11 version 3:

Cleaned up the buttons on the status bar

Cleared out data and rebuilt it (I think this is will fix the problem with the market and wifi. Sorry to make you download and burn it again.)

Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock

In the works:

Make the notification drop-down take up the full width of the screen

Move the status bar to the bottom

Make the start bar black

3/14/11 version 2:

dalingrin's latest kernel (dalingrin, if you are reading this, great work)

Add rookie1's buttons to the status bar (Thanks Rookie1!)

I still have some things to clean up but it is working well. Click the N button twice to bring up softkeys whenever there is no status bar.

Put on dalingrin's latest kernel. (If you want to overclock it, you must use SetCPU)

Using ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5

Changed build.prop back in a hope to improve video

LauncherPRO <----------

DO NOT DELETE THE SOFTWARE THAT CICADA INSTALLED. (If you delete the default software, market will not display all the packages.)

Use dd or www.winimage.com to burn the image to the sdcard. Under the disk menu, choose your drive, then under the disk menu, choose restore image. Use easeus.com to resize the last partition.
