This might have been asked before but is there a way to install this version to the nook (emmc?). Is there a clockworkmod flashable rom. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] jaimepar:
Awesome job!

For anyone wanting to use this a daily driver with access to Nook media partition and the 1st boot partition that windows sees:

*install autostart root from market

*create file autostart.sh in /data/opt as the program instructs

*put these lines in the text file

"mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /media"

"mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /media"

*place a folder on the /boot partition like "user" or something easy to store files for drag and drop access.

I also had to make partition 4 (sdcard) smaller around 500mb and assigned the rest of the sd card space to the 1st partition
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
I tried an 8gb patriot sd card class 4.

this time it boots, and does not crash. i was able to run the scripts needed to build the 4th partition. so everything looks good. the sceen seems unresponsive at times, and im unable to download apps from the market. im also getting some error for google talk not sure what the error is at the moment.
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
okay, I tried that yesterday, but I didn't try rebooting...now if my wife will stop reading on my ereader I could get back to testing. Will update...
[Nook Color Android Development] BugsBunny891:
very nice. i love the customizations. have you thought about making this flash-able into the internal memory?
[Nook Color Android Development] jaimepar:
Want music and video.

Get rock player from the market. The app has its own libraries.
[Nook Color Android Development] WillySun:
Thnx a lot!

I used another method. Simply install FTP-server (SwiFTP) on the Nook (in setings set /mnt/sdcard/), and get access into sdcard with WiFi :)

Not so good, but enough )

Speed is 1.1 Mb/sec.
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
Okay, I finally wrote down the error that I keep getting when running the initial makepart.sh:

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1946.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g. old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g. DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

After this error, it proceeds to use the default values that it can find to create the final partition and clearly indicates that it substitutes 1946 in place of 1024 for the outer limits of the partition creation.

Does Froyo have issues mounting cards with more than 1024 cylinders?

I will do more research and post my results. Maybe this is nothing and I am barking up the wrong tree...but I have to figure this out. There is nothing defective about my 16GB card...
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
fixitsteve that's a great find. I'll try again later today on my big card and see if creating a smaller partition helps. I can say that I ran with the "defective sd" error for nearly 24 hours without the /data corruption that I experienced if I ran the scripts. once I ran the scripts without fail I would get at most 3 boots before /data would get corrupted.

Back to testing, if this works then I'll just have to figure out what to do with the wasted space. since it's just linux I wonder if there is something equivalent to /etc/fstab where I could specify another boot time mount point.
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
nadafinger:

I think you are right about the size. I just booted to the gparted recovery disk, and partitioned the remaining space fat32. This allowed the 16gb card to boot fine and the 'damaged sd card' error went away, but there are significant 'force close' issues and I can't seem to get anything to work right. I would create two new partitions that are smaller, but isn't there a limitation of 4 total partitions for froyo? I may not be able to see the last partition anyway and the space is wasted. I will post results once I give this a shot...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I tested this is it still does not work right.
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
Well, that's depressing. Maybe emmc is the only way...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I just put it up.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Just curious ... if I install this will I be able to access pages like Kongregate ( it is a flash game portal ) and play the flash games ? on my NC Froyo ?
[Nook Color Android Development] stwallman:
Flash not working??

For some reason Flash is not working for me either in the stock browser or Dolphin. Can't find Flash in the market either. Isn't it supposed to be in this build?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did you do any of the market fixes? Some people have had a problem with flash not working. The only solution is to uninstall it from settings and reinstall it from the market or adb. If you fixed the market using the build.prop method, you will not be able to see flash. Undo the changes to build.prop.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I am not sure. If you find an answer, please post results.
[Nook Color Android Development] stwallman:
I haven't done any changes to build.prop. There are other applications I cannot see as well (LCD Density Changer - purchased as an example).

EDIT: Was able to get it working by doing a Titanium Backup of the Flash player, then uninstalling and reinstalling (only App, not App+Data).
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
This is strange. Maybe I am missing something simple but

- am trying to install to emmc following brian's instructions I'm at the part where it says copy2emmc.sh but neither of the keyboards are allowing me to input the number 2 ...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Are you using the Terminal from DevTools or the one in the app drawer? Use the terminal in the app drawer.
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
Thanks thought you had just forgotten to include 'use devtools' didnt notice the other terminal at first. thanks worked like a charm.:p
[Nook Color Android Development] burton14e7:
My nook won't turn on after I did the emmc version. I can hold the power button for minutes and it won't turn on. This was after I completed step two and removed the sd card to reboot with out it.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Plug in the usb.
[Nook Color Android Development] burton14e7:
Tried that, left it charging for the last two hours while I watched a movie.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Try holding the power button for 20 seconds.
[Nook Color Android Development] burton14e7:
I saw a post about that when I was google searching. Said it would change the light from green to orange or something but that didn't work. It's as if it's not registering that I'm pushing the power button at all. I'll let it chill out for a few more hours and then try again. Might have to social B&N into sending me a new one.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
burton,same thing here.... :( Gonna have to get a replacement tomorrow
[Nook Color Android Development] burton14e7:
Bummer, mine still isn't powering up. Odd.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
I know the unit does get power since I can plug into pc and it sees the device.

Trying to get original bootable sets up and running.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Has this worked for anyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Burton , I just reburned the EMMC 0.2 image and plugged into usb and held power for 15 seconds... at least at clockwork now. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] bytesniper:
For those that used this method and apparently came out with a bricked NC... the same thing happened to mine... here's what i did to fix it (back to stock 1.0.1)

Boot with "samuelhalff's CRW image" that was burned and booted from SD as step one of the original process

download the "repartition-boot-with-stock.zip" from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929670 and copy it to the SD card that was burned in the previous step

boot to the sdcard... it probably will take a while of sitting there pressing the power button but mine did, after a minute or two, boot the sd and into clockwork

go into mounts and storage and format /data, /system, and /boot

flash zip from sdcard --> repartition-boot-with-stock.zip

one thats done hold power until it shuts off. remove sdcard. power back on. it will boot this time but will hang on "N" screen. power off. boot from sd again. apply 1.0.1 full restore zip that it on the sdcard already from "samuelhalff's CRW image".

worked for me, hope it helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] bytesniper:
Just FYI I just bricked two NC's with this process. Recovered both using the procedure in my previous post though.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
What is the best froyo method so far?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Were you able to boot into 0.5.9 prior to copying over system and data? Did you start with a clean 0.5.9 or were you using the OC kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
yep, same thing happened to me. I was just about to post this fix. I dont know what exactly caused it to brick might have been when i was trying to get the sd card to mount in android and it says its damaged and i try to format it some how might have screwed up the boot partition.

anyway its working again cant download anything from browser because it asks for sdcard and i cant get an sd card recognised...

thanks brian, sam, etc for your help. gets better and better every day.
[Nook Color Android Development] bytesniper:
everything went well until i tried to reboot after running the scripts in the terminal emulator. also, it was incredibly unresponsive when trying to use it. not sure if that's a symptom or just an observation though.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
This was mentioned in sam's thread. Once you are done, format that card out of the nook. Are you running the customized image from emmc?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Could everyone indicate what size card you are using?
[Nook Color Android Development] burton14e7:
4 gig for me.

Also, I did reformat the sd card before I attempted the reboot after the second step. If thats a common denominator.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did it ever worked? Did you flash emmc with 0.5.9 first using sam's CWR image first? Were you able to boot off the emmc with 0.5.9 first before copying system and data?
[Nook Color Android Development] bytesniper:
I tried with a 2gig class 4 and a 8gig class 6, one on each NC i was working on (mine and a friends). Same result on both.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Yes. Others were blowing away their boot partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Ignore this.
[Nook Color Android Development] burton14e7:
Yeah it totally worked. I'm almost done following the recovery steps and then I'll probably try again tomorrow. Hopefully I won't screw it up again :)

The last post on this page starts the discussion about the sdcard issue. Easiest fix is to format the sdcard in a pc or phone. Dont you just love being the first to test things out? Sorry for all the extra work you guys are going through.
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
I have an 8gb and a 256mb not sure of class. Both are sandisk. Will follow instructions to format in terminal.

EDIT: Formatted in terminal still getting: sdcard is damaged need to format. Have formatted it in Windows 7 to fat and tried fat32 not working. when I tried the froyo.emmc 2.0 non customized version it allowed me to mount it. The sd card is formatted correctly. Also it reports as having just 768mb or so available as system memory.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Juste don't format your sdcard from your NC. Or use Brian's manual format method.

Concerning the internal memory remaining, it seems that lots of people are wondering why only 800MB are left. Well there's no mistake there, the internal memory is where data is stored, not media. Data is stored on /data, which is little under 1GB.

Sam
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I tried to replace your system with mine and add my data but CWR just couldn't the zip file. I think it was due to the size of the zip, but your image worked great. Thank you.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
In your windows box, try giving it a label of sdcard all in lower case, then reboot with card in. If that doesn't work, I will compare Sam's /etc/vold.fstab with mine when I get home. I think I might need to change 4 to auto for the External sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Yep < I am back (forgot a made an nandroid backup before going to froyo) So just restored that and backed to my classic just rooted/googled with launcherPro+.

Once I'm back from work going to test some more things (while moving my faster class card to my nexus one and recovering that) :)
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
Gave that a try. 'sdcard' all lower case - no luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Well A question about Froyo and Market.

On my 2.1 eclair 1.1r2 market has things that are missing on froyo. Vasic things like pulse reader and dolphin HD are not on my froyo version of market.

Anyone have any modded version of the build.prop or a different fingerprintto give wider market access?

I tried market enabler to see if it was a country seting thing since I am in Canada but that didn't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I just put a copy of sam's /system/etc/vold.fstab on the first post. Drop it in /system/etc and reboot. Let me know how it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] y2kdread:
Bricked Nook

I had the same problem that other have reported where the nook bricks and will not turn on. I had it swapped out but I would like to know what causes this before I try again.

It bricked after I completed the process and put in my microSD card. I tried to format the SD card and reboot to get the SD card to work and it didn't come back up after I powered it up.

Anyone have any ideas what causes this?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
If you attempt to format the sdcard under settings, does something to one of the internal partition resulting in the nook not turning on. There is a recovery procedure earlier in this thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
Will try and figure out how to. Kinda a noob at android. I would usually just copy it to my web server but the built in browser wont download without an sdcard to download to. I dont know why it wont use the internal memory. Thanks for all your help brianf21. Will try and figure it out and report back.

I am also looking for the best way to get this working I think brian said to clear market cache and google framework etc and restart (that worked for viewsonic gtablet) but i used titanium backup then and cant get it on the nook thanks to the sdcard issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Trying the .05 version now and seeing how this goes

Kept my Bootable 2gig just in case...
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Put .05 on after doing froyo ... while it sat there went to black screen ... and will not boot.

:(

Spoke to soon .. Booting still. Going to work on this tonight.

Update 1: Formatted the 4gig I got with my Nexus one in my nexus one in recovery and put it in after I got froyo up and running.

Installed Flash 10.1 and some basic apps. Still up and running. Going to try and adb and flash 1.1ghz now.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
If you have a formated sdcard, try this.

Copy vold.fstab to your sdcard and put it in the nook. Make sure you eject it from the computer properly.

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1

You should only have one partition. If not, let me know what partition you have.

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard

Use the System/Mount app and mount your system partition in rw mode.

From the terminal:

su
cd /system/etc
cp /mnt/sdcard/vold.fstab ./
reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Are you using the customized image? I would test this for a least a night before going to the 1.1ghz. If something goes wrong, we won't know is the image or the kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
I'm using the First Image and nook-froyo .05 image on this box right now.

Alright. Its a good point...

:)

Working on getting Youtube videos working now.

Stock (ondemand 800mhz setcpu) - Quadrant score 1375 :)

A few games like Jet Car Stunts and uniwar did not load.
[Nook Color Android Development] gamerteck:
Worked

.5 Worked for me after a few tries!

The first go had me stuck on the 'android' boot screen.

I then had to re-flash with CRW and restore back to stock 1.0.1.

The second go around worked beautifully!

The only other real issue I had was that the Market Place wouldn't allow me to download anything.

As the poster stated above, to get the Market working I had to go into Manage Applications and clear the Market cache and the Google Services Framework; rebooted and all is gravy. You may want to mention this in the sticky.

I also had to insert remove and re-insert my microsd a few times before it was recognized.

Thanks brainf21, great img!

Downloading the game data for dungeon defenders... lets see if this works ;)

And I am getting the "can't play back this video" issue on everything pretty much. Anyone know a fix for that?
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
.5 working fine...

With all of the issues that I had with getting my 16GB Class 10 working, I just flashed to EMMC with the .5 and it works great. No issues as of yet, but I am still building up the system.
[Nook Color Android Development] more_xda:
there are 4 partitions mmcblk1p1-mmcblk1p4

tried to mount said failed: no such directory.
[Nook Color Android Development] bytesniper:
Just wanted to confirm that this is working very well as of 5. ideo (using Rock works perfectly with xvid, no lag). The only issue seems to be about half the apps in the market are missing. Since it's not due to Android version maybe it thinks it's in a region/country certain apps are not published for?
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
Also anyone figure out how to do audio and video? Can't get videos/audio that use the system player. Rock does some things but not all...
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
Anyone flashed an overclocked kernel yet? I am afraid of the dreaded android boot loop. I have had to restore completely from scratch twice now and I am trying to avoid it again. I tried the 950 and it looped...but it could have been the three other things I flashed at the same time (I know, I know...).
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Yep, I put in the froyo-test-1000mhz.zip from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

Well I tried the method of pulling the uimage and replacing with the OC'd one....not noticing any difference really.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
24 hours later... still working ok. Did make a weird sound earlier this morning and shut down while sleeping.

Still kinda :( with no video / podcast playback within system (and some podcast issues in rock)

Overall, kinda happy with it. Running 3.0 from SD for a little bit but going to try and redo Emmc .05 and try it clean with 1.0ghz kernel for 24 hours.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I have the CRW image almost ready. You could be my first tester. This will be easier to install.
[Nook Color Android Development] slowpc:
No problem. I'll test away and see what I can do with it.

Will keep 3.0 running for now until then.

If you copy the mp3 file from the dsp folder found in the 1.1r2 release and drop it into the same folder as nookie froyo, mp3 will then work in stock music player. Also rock player works well despite not hardware decoding.
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
Danbutter,

Are you running from emmc or sd? Also, did you use a bootable CWM from sdcard to do it? Just want to replicate success!
[Nook Color Android Development] computerpro3:
I'm not understanding exactly what you mean here. Can you give me step by step instructions? I would really appreciate it.
[Nook Color Android Development] computerpro3:
When running off the SD card, is there any way to mount the SD card partition on the computer so I can transfer MP3 and pictures to it? Right now boot is all that mounts when I plug in the USB.
[Nook Color Android Development] WillySun:
Try this - h t t p://code.google.com/p/swiftp/

Work over wifi.

In settings "Stay within folder" set - /mnt/sdcard/

I've also tried the 1100 Oc kernal replacing the uimage on the sd card and im only getting 800 mhz any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] gregh77:
you have to set it in setcpu to go up to 1100mhz. set cpu is an app...
[Nook Color Android Development] kitzuki:
how do you think i found out it was running at 800mhz magiclly guessed it?

I have setcpu it just shows the max as 800
[Nook Color Android Development] gregh77:
uh, thats what the processor runs at... you can find that spec all over this forum
[Nook Color Android Development] ksc6000:
I've installed this and it booted up properly.

But when I goto terminal emulator and enter in the commands, nothing happens. The nook doesn't reboot. What's going on?

Terminal emulator does get superuser permissions when i type su to begin with, but still, nothing happens when i enter in the commands and hit enter...i just get more # signs.
[Nook Color Android Development] jwortiz:
Ditto!

"/data/data/makepart.sh: not found" error message. It is the same with the second command - "/data/data/formatpart.sh: not found".

Try

makepart.sh

formatpart.sh
[Nook Color Android Development] ksc6000:
Thanks Brian. I practically JUST got my nook color and have been reading over this thread and nook devs as well. But I'm confusing myself the more I read it seems.

To improve the performance of this ROM, can we use any other kernel? how does one go about installing one?
[Nook Color Android Development] jwortiz:
Brian,

Nope. No luck. Still cant find the .sh files.
[Nook Color Android Development] ksc6000:
Okay, a few things...

1) Even though this build has flash already incorporated, why doesn't it work in the browser or dolphin at all?

2) Why am I not able to see all the apps in the market? I can't find launcher pro, or Miren browser, etc... and I have force closed the market, cleared the data, rebooted the device...nothing works.

3) I can't download ANY app at all. They just say downloading but never progress. And like above, I've force closed the market, cleared the data, rebooted the device...nothing works.

Any advice?
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
I have the same thing happening, just started tonight. I tried modifying my build.prop and I was able to install espeak, but after that it is back to not downloading any apps. I know the market itself is ok because my Nexus One gets the exact same app in seconds.

I have one other NC user reporting the same issue. Maybe a crackdown?
[Nook Color Android Development] jwortiz:
Brian,

FYI ... I used Root Explorer to manually navigate to where the scripts are and I executed them from there. They worked and got rid of the "SD Card Damaged" error. The Terminal Emulator method isn't working for whatever reason. As a noob, I'll keep it in your more capable hands to figure out. :)

On another note, after bringing up my nook this morning I now notice a bunch of FC's (force closes). I rebooted the nook a few times to confirm and it's repeatable. I thought to mention it in case you didn't know already.

Hope this info helps. I see a lot of potential with what you're doing, so keep it up. Thanks for what you're doing.

Later...

P.S.

It seems the scripts wiped out the SD card image, because after the following reboot I ended with the B&N stock set up again bypassing the SD card. :(
