You were probably using an older version of 7zip. Upgrading to the newest beta should've fixed it. I had zero problems extracting it on a 32-bit Windows XP machine.
[Nook Color Android Development] madsquabbles:
Nand restore of my boot partition fixed my problem. So either my boot got corrupt or this version of honeycomb alters the boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Running this on emmc with gapps..

Very smooth.

Thanks

Forgive my ignorance, but is flash video supported in this build of honeycomb?
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
Are you aware of the fact that the NC has a particular boot order? Have you tried removing the SD card and booting without it?
[Nook Color Android Development] barrosd12:
How are you doing this? Using the NookieFroyo CWR stuff you posted up a few days ago?
[Nook Color Android Development] RMHisCOOL:
I've been unsuccessful booting this thing, and I'm not sure why. Here's what I did:

* Downloaded zip, unpacked image into my home folder

* Formatted my 16 GB Class 4 card with the Nook Color

* Used a microsd adapter and plugged it into my laptop, running Ubuntu 10.10.

* Opened up terminal

* Typed the following:

sudo su

umount /dev/sdb1 **confirmed by opening startup disk creator that this was the correct location**

# dd if=honeynook.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M

After a proper writing, I put the card into my nook. It just boots into stock every time, and I've done this 4 times. I also have XP setup on my virtualbox so I tried that but kept getting I/O write errors with winimage. Sorry to be a bother, but I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

Lucky bastard! to try Pilsner Urquell right out from the Tap! I'm anchored here in Capitola, CA...

I might just imagine this, but I'm of belief that available OMAP kernel 2.6.29 is defective in a sense of not letting DSP/hardware acceleration to happen for some reason. Hence, no Flash, etc. Now, in DB's Honey, there's also no sound: alsa framework must be completely rewritten in Honey 3.0 basing on the 2.6.32+ kernel. If only someone could pull dmesg/log out of just first notification "sound" of Honey just booted. I can just imagine very clearly a broken/hanging Media server in it. Sure I could be wrong: it's just a beautiful day of wonderful discoveries today.

And no, don't get me wrong: the work of CM Team on CM7 for NC is outstanding -- if a tidbit too silent for us, mere mortals... lol.

And yes, I'm certainly not for OCing as a remedy to every hiccup when there's no clear understanding of what's going on. Once DSP/GPU are fully working, specs tell us it's smooth 720p video, full Flash is here (see my blog). I would believe in OC'ing after it will add up the GPU/DSP overclocking to push my NC to smooth 1080p video, lol.

No, sorry, I'm too old and stupid to build kernels (the last I built was in 2002, or was it 2001? and it was x86 platform -- naturally.) Oh well. Hopefully, there's lots of brilliant younger brains reading this thread right now. I swear anyone who would be successful in building a fully functional NC 2.6.36 kernel plus NC Honey on top will be certainly eligible for a half-a-million-a year paying job at Google. Nothing less. (their attempt with Moto XOOM not supporting NEON is kinda ridiculous..)

Is flash video working? Would really appreciate some info on this as im not able to test it out at the moment.
[Nook Color Android Development] chuffykow:
Strip off the 1 in /dev/sdb1. Write directly to the sdcard device, /dev/sdb . From there it should work for you.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
If the question is: is it possible to make a flashable zip of this to install on eMMC? The answer is yes. But I'd need the author's permission before posting such a thing.. And keep in mind that some work would be needed to make the sdcard mount..
[Nook Color Android Development] tunwear:
I kept doing it the wrong way. That's a huge help!
[Nook Color Android Development] barrosd12:
I understand.

I doubt Deeper_Blue would mind, considering how many of us are extremely eager to get this running on eMMC to see what sort of performance gains there are...
[Nook Color Android Development] kdb424:
I'm all for that too as I don't have the money to buy an 8GB SD till payday. I'd be a little sad not havin sound as I love using it for music/radio, but I could always wait 15 minutes for it to be done lol. (Not saying it'll be done next, just a joke at the rate of this build's maturity) Seeing as this now has more views in a few days than all of the stickies in this sub-forum combined.... Yea, amazing work. We all on the internet love and support you. Donations on payday!
[Nook Color Android Development] gedster314:
Even over clocked I find it a little slow. It is interesting. Have to wait to see what develops. I imagine once the real version of Honeycomb gets released we will see some serious improvements. Great Job on porting it!!!!

For now I think I'ld be more excited over a fully functioning Gingerbread.
[Nook Color Android Development] hazard666:
Hey guys, hopefully you might be able to help me out.

I've tried burning the img to a 16gb card.

Tried extracting the img

Tried redownloading the zip files from different sources.

Nothing works. Any ideas?

the burning goes straight to done

extracting says it can't read the img
[Nook Color Android Development] mfchew:
Hi this looks so cool thanks for all the hard work. I have a question do I need a image program to put the image on the SD card or can I just use alzip to extract the image.

please help.
[Nook Color Android Development] madsquabbles:
Yes. That was actually my first step. Next was to see if it still booted honey. Then i tried booting into cwr. Both honey and cwr had no problems. Next i tried fixing permissions- no go there. Finally i nand restored my boot partition and everthings back to normal.

I am going to try and reproduce the error later just to see if it was just a fluke.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
As I've outlined previously, it would simply be a matter of

(1) editing init.rc in the current uRamdisk to match emmc partitions.

sed -i '' 's/mmcblk0p5/mmcblk1p2/' init.rc
sed -i '' 's/mmcblk0p6/mmcblk1p3/' init.rc

(2) repacking uRamdisk with the new init.rc and putting into emmc's /boot (/mnt/block/mmcblk0p1).

(3) replacing whatever OS you have on the emmc p5 & p6 with SD content /system and /data in 2 & 3, respectively (preserving permissions/ownership with something like "cp -parv /system/* /mnt/system" where /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 is mounted at /mnt/system).

(4) ideally but not as a requirement, you'd use ext4, which means an updated kernel (uImage) w/ext4 and large file support in p1.

I prefer not to post scripts myself, because then everyone looks at you/me to support it. But this is truly not a difficult procedure.

ft

Another observation-- unless I'm missing it, or his rebuilt u-boot.bin had the boot counter pulled out of it, it doesn't look like the SD clears the bootcnt in /rom. So I'd imagine people who haven't touched emmc are going to be seeing the bootloader wiping partitions every 7 boots or so.

Update: checked with blue. Seems his /rom/BootCnt is still at 0000, so maybe not...

Thanks amirox(?) for the torrent! Going to seed with a gigabit connection, speed should be picking up here soon. Takes me about a minute to download if there is enough seeders/speed.

Honeycomb on eMMC

After running Froyo on eMMC for the last couple of days, I would be interested in seeing Honeycomb. I did notice a speed increase switching from Froyo on microsd to Froyo on eMMC. The current build of Honeycomb is faster on microsd than Froyo was, so the additional gains from eMMC have me waiting with bated breath !!

Strong work on the updates !
[Nook Color Android Development] tunwear:
Even with it running on a class 2 SD card, emulated, etc. the keyboard is MUCH snappier than anything I've used on the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] RMHisCOOL:
It's always something simple, isn't it? This worked like a charm, thanks for the help!
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
If you have the image extracted try this...

# Run WinImage.exe (Right click, Run as Administrator)

# Select Disk from the menu and select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image...".

# Select your SDCard from the list and click OK.

# In the Open dialog box select "All Files" in the lower right file type box, browse to nookhoney.img, select, and click Open.
[Nook Color Android Development] tunwear:
Had the same issue. When burning, (I'm assuming your using winimage) Click Disk, Click Restore Virtual Hard Disk image on physical Drive, Select the drive. Can't open it with the open file button

I can get in the Market and it shows the apps I have purchased. I cannot download anything. Keep getting download failed. Do we have to fake something in the build.prop?

[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
I would like to first of all say thanks you for this, its the first step towards fully porting HoneyComb to the NC.

Secondly I would like to say

Pandora plays fine

. The reason I am saying this is pandora fails to work under Froyo, and possibly a developer could update froyo to fix the network issue stopping pandora and youtube based on the changes in HoneyComb combined with the original frameworks in eclair. (Currently pandora/youtube only DONT work in froyo)

Did you run the chmod commands in the post?

Yes I did. Market loaded and it walked me through authenticating with my existing account. Market shows apps under My Apps that I have purchased. I think that means Market is running and the Google Framework is loading. I can search for apps and tell it to install. At that point, I get a notification that the download failed, try again. The permissions are just letting the files be executable AFAIK.

[Nook Color Android Development] SpenserS:
Okay so i went through the whole process of putting the .img on the sd card. But now when i put it in the nook it just boots into the regular rooted nook. The nook reconizes the the sd card but says it is damaged. Im assuming that was normal because it is set up differently. Any suggestions why it doesn't boot into honeyckmb?
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
Describe what you did.
[Nook Color Android Development] iconoclastnet:
From peeking at logcat, the red outline seems to indicate that garbage collection is running.

This makes sense in a way, since they're just now starting to take advantage of multi-core devices and it's been mentioned a few times that garbage collection running on a different core than your ui thread would improve the responsiveness of your app.

So, it's just possible that the red frame is actually indicating that GC is blocking something else from happening. In which case, if you were developing on a real multi-core device you probably shouldn't see the red frame (exceptional circumstances aside) unless you're doing something wrong.

Either that or I could be completely dazed from staring at logcat for too long. :p
[Nook Color Android Development] RMHisCOOL:
How did you put the .img on the sd card?
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Maybe your card actually IS damaged?
[Nook Color Android Development] SpenserS:
Using the Mac terminal. The only way i could get it to work was by being specific though. Like users/username/desktop...etc. it took awhile but then i got a drive saying boot and another saying sd card which is right im assuming. But when i put it in the nook it boots normally

[Nook Color Android Development] Robotic Clone:
Windows Instructions

Download Win32DiskImager.exe

Download the file in the first post and extract the img from the zip

Run Win32DiskImager and make sure you pick the drive letter corresponding to your MicroSD card

Click the Folder icon and locate the img file you extracted earlier

Click on Write and then wait...

Once its done remove the SD card from your computer

Power off your nook color and insert the MicroSD you just prepared

Power On your Nook Color and wait for it to load

Welcome to Honeycomb!

Well, since 16 is more than 4, it won't be much of a problem. That's like asking how to fit a Mini Cooper into an airplane hangar.

[Nook Color Android Development] cevans59:
Since this is a 4 gig image some people may have problems extracting and burning using 32 bit Windows software. For me it would not extract properly even under Windows 7 64 bit so I used Ubuntu 64 for the extraction.

I was then able to burn it using win32diskimager under Windows 7 64 bit just fine. I know I could of just used dd but I wanted to confirm the issue was in extracting it.

BTW: AngryBirds and Astro FileManager run :o

[Nook Color Android Development] Agraceffa:
I know, stupid question, but do you have to be rooted to use this? I'm on stock v1.1 and I don't really feel like going back to 1.0.1 to root 1.1.
[Nook Color Android Development] cevans59:
Maybe this will answer some questions:

1. Windows will have problems properly extracting this file due to the size, 4gig. Before attempting to burn the image check the extracted file size.

2. You do not have to be rooted since this will run completely off of the SD card. Once you remove the card and reboot you will be right back on whatever rom (stock or otherwise) that you had before.

I'm not a mac guy, so I can't help you out, but I'd like to point out that nobody else can with the information you've given. I had the same problem as you but with linux, and I wrote a post detailing every keystroke I put in and button I pressed. Lo and behold, I'd typed one thing in wrong and it was easily correctable. Since you haven't told anybody any specifics of how you wrote the image to the card (which is where the problem lies), then nobody can help you figure out what you did wrong.

THANX to DB... Great HC Preview version...

I took the .img and loaded to an 8GB Kingston Class-4 card, then used Easeus Partition Master to copy to one of my 4GB Kingmax Class-10 test cards which auto converted the last/sdcard partition to 900+MB to fit... Booted fine... Quadrant best of five runs, using shipped 800 MHz kernel, gave me a good 1504 score...

The Froyo 1.1 GHz OC on same fast SDCard type gives me 2000+ Quadrant scores with considerably better video performance but this is a Great start for a Honeycomb Preview...

My negatives for this install are the inability to root with any of the 3 tools I typically use (Universal Androot, Z4Root, or last try is SuperOneClick v1.5.3)... AND the Settings App's 'Storage' option FC'ing, thus though 2 partitions look to be available you cannot get them to mount as MSC thus copy files to the SDCard from PC etc...

I'll try 1.1 GHz OC kernel later with this install, and I suspect Quadrant scores will get Closer to fully functioning Froyo SDCard version, but the 'Fully Functioning' is the key here, so day to day I'll stick with Froyo card at 2000+ version for Now...
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
Note: Im on Froyo

For me it isnt even coming up as a valid apk. Pushing it fails, signing it and pushing it fails, and neither version loads into the apk installer.

Checking in

Ok, I have the Market running on my HoneyComb Nook and almost all of the apps work and run great. I downloaded a few games (Jewellust, Carrom, Spaghetti and Marshmellows) as well as the Nook app (which doesn't work because it needs that SD card, bummer) Google Books, Beautiful Widgets, Astro and a crap load of live wallpapers.

If the Nook App worked then I could use this as a daily driver as far as e reading goes...which is the point of the Nook but I always wanted to give Google Books a try so I'll do that.

The process was painless provided you have ADB running correctly

This was a great help,

Hi

I'll tinker with it some more the next couple of hours to see how far I can customize. I'm loving the notification bar and the layout of 3.0. Google really represented with this.
