You have to set /system to R/W, there was a missing step see below in red bold

First remove all the files you've already installed.

adb remount

Now run thre remainder of the steps:

adb shell

cd /system/bin

rm ./su

cd /system/xbin

rm ./su

cd /data/local

rm ./su

cd /system/app

rm ./superuser.apk

do this with any other superuser files you may have installed. (Busybox etc.)

Then run:

adb push su /data/local

adb remount

adb shell

cd /data/local

cat su > /system/bin/su

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

exit

Now

adb reboot

On reboot

Then install titanium backup, click problems at the bottom and install the latest busybox.

May be I missed it. I'll admit I haven't read all one hundred something posts in this thread but I have skimmed a bit and attempted some searches. Has any one tried writing the image over USB to the SD card and booting that way? Unfortunately I'm at work and our lame a$$ laptops don't have SD card readers but I do have my USB cable handy.

I've all ready tried twice writing v04 to the SD card from Windows once using Win32 Disk Imager and once using Win Image. Both times I get the same result. SD card not readable by Windows or the NC and the NC wants to format it. NC refuses to boot off it.

Any ideas or am I really going to have to wait another 8 hours to give this a shot?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
use at lease 4gb sd card, use sdformatter3 and do an overwrite, format size adjustment OFF, use win32diskimager version 1, the new version 2 had problems for me. Write and run, it is a good image.....
[Nook Color Android Development] cwcmind:
My first couple of attempts were like yours since I didn't have an SC card. No success till I used a standalone sc card reader.
[Nook Color Android Development] tekchip:
Yeah just tried sdformatter3 and w32 disk imager but to no avail. Guess I have to wait till I can get at a real card reader. Thanks for the suggestions though! Speaks volumes about the folks on these forums who are willing to so quickly jump to some ones aid even if not successful. Thanks all!
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Just loaded this on my NC that I bought last night, and I can't believe how unbelievably smooth this runs for being loaded on a MicroSD card. (I'm sure getting a class 10 card helped...lol)

I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you've put into this, and can't wait to see what else you manage to tweek.

Thanks!

I was able to use my Evo over usb to write the image but I had to mount using RA recovery. It wouldn't work mounting from Android or Clockwork recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] Razgueado:
For comparing of notes, here's what's weird or not working for me --

System

* If keyboard is open, can't use buttons on windows without closing keyboard first.

Apps

* XDA App - click back to exit, force closes. Force closes intermittently within program. Tapatalk Pro works, however.

* Root Explorer - still can't get root mode. File Expert thinks it has root access, BusyBox installer thinks it has root access, ADFree think it has root, SetCPU thinks it has root, Titanium think it has root and reports BusyBox 1.18.0.git from System (per BusyBox installer). Looking for 1.18.2 to install to see if that makes a difference.

--EDIT: Root issues completely fixed with su_fixed.

* Gallery - Force closes if I try to access any folders. I've frozen the Camera App in Titanium. If system remains stable, will remove it. Going to try loading the Eclair gallery for shiz and gizzles.

--EDIT: Uninstalled Camera, installed Gallery3D.apk that floats around XDA. Works.

* Beautiful Widgets Super Clock - Force closes if I try to put a widget on the desktop. Other widgets seem to work.

* JustPictures won't install from Market.

* GeminiCalendar won't start, and seems to make the orientation flop around.

That's my experience so far...

[Nook Color Android Development] msherwood:
@ Razguedo...

He was doing it correctly, but it wasn't working because the SD card was inside of his Nook still. I tried the same thing when I first loaded up v2 - it only works if you have a card reader.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Denis, in order to edit the /system files you need to remount it as read write, I'm not sure exactly what partition /system is on right now without checking, (I'm forgetful) so I cant give the exact command right this second but I'm sure some happy soul would post it here after reading this. As for "adb push su /data/local" you need to download the su package. The link for that is at the beginning of the rooting thread. Download that and extract it into your adb directory. Hope that helps!

[Nook Color Android Development] Razgueado:
Ah, okay. Misunderstood.

Could be managed with dd, then but that's another kettle of fish.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. I have MyWi installed on my iphone and it can be discovered by my desktop and my wifes laptop as a hotspot but my NC does not see it. Running HC4.

Is anyone else havin an issue like this?

-NJ
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
its probably running in ad-hoc mode only laptops and computers can see ad-hoc but devices like android phones and iphones can only see an infrastructure network

try switching the modes from ad-hoc to infrastructure and if you cant do that try finding one that isnt ad-hoc
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
For the nook to see and use an Adhoc network replace the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin with this one (strip .adhocfix.tar off name) set permissions to 777 (rwxrwxrwx), then disable/re-enable your wifi on the nook and it should see and be able to connect to the Adhoc network...
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Ahem, confused..
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
NO!!! You want to replace the /system/bin/wpa_supplicant executable... NOT the .conf file... this patch works with NO changes/switching of the conf files as we have used in the past...
[Nook Color Android Development] cray1000:
maybe an improved wifi stack in the much newer kernel version? Or does this nook image not use the same newer kernel that HC on the xoom does. (was several releases newer than gingerbread)
[Nook Color Android Development] njdevils28:
Hello All and Thanks for the replies.

I believe the only way I can do what is explained above is to have ROOT access to my NC using Honeycomb. Is this correct or is there a way to make the nook see AD-HOC using it's native software also?

Thanks,

-NJ
[Nook Color Android Development] cray1000:
While i am not sure if root is the ONLY way to use adhoc but doign what is laid out in those steps requires mounting /system as rw which most certainly requires root.
[Nook Color Android Development] cray1000:
Does anyone know how close we are to v5? I read somehwere it was coming out very soon but that was several days ago, been waiting to make a new sd card to avoid having to do it all over again.

[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
After reading all 117 pages of mostly whining about inability to burn the SD card, I'd like to remind people that the best way to help Mr. deeper-blue is to do benchmarking and testing, providing extensive dmesg's/logcats for anything that went wrong.

For that particular v04, a change in screen sensitivity at its borders must be observed (or not?), plus for a changed heap size the scrolls of extremely long, graphics saturated web pages, Pulse, must be tried and decreasing responsiveness/force-closures observed or not.

Any other peculiarities of the current release may help if reproducible.

Here's my requests for development (http://fineoils.blogspot.com:

1. Any (even dirty) hack for screen touch sensitivity bringing in a sort of nonlinear calibration: 2x or so higher sensitivity at edges (~1cm or half inch, if you will, from every edge toward center) than that in the middle of the screen.

2. In Media Server, any hack to give a 2x, 3x volume boost for the NC speaker. Inclusion of DSP Manager (http://bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/,My link) in the release.

3. Assuring that all LCD densities between 168...172 dpi and 180 or 200...220 are available for user. If not for any dumb reason, like in HC preview, please make 168...172 dpi range available...

I don't mention HW acceleration turning ON in both SGX and DSP and Renderscript here, which is obvious, but could be put aside because of lack of AOSP 3.0.
[Nook Color Android Development] ganovim:
what about the ro.sf.lcd_density only 150 in build.prop?

Any chance of HC being able to deal with 200 or more?
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
i love this port of honeycomb, it is almost at the point where it can be used as an everyday rom(im using it as an everyday rom and so far it has done me no wrong) aside from a few bugs like touchscreen freezing(fixable by locking device and unlocking it again) and touchscreen spazzing(fixable with method above) it has been doing me great

i was wondering how performance is on a class 2 sd card, i would try it myself but i dont want to burn the image on my sd card only to find out it is slow(im running it off my eMMC at the moment)

thanks for the reply

luigi90210
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
It's useless except for very questionable aesthetics of larger icons, notification bars going beyond the screen limits, etc. Anything beyond 180 is very impractical for a device with software only 2D screen GUI rendering.

It does exactly nothing for better readability of stock Android (and NC's, too) fonts, read about it in my blog.

Kernel 2.6.29 in Android 3.0 preview build is a road to nowhere. It's like a Vespa scooter engine under Lamborghini hood. Sure, way too many phones with A2.2 run on 2.6.29, but it's an illusion that any good Honeycomb for NC may have a foundation in 2.6.29.

Twitter Oauth problems?

I'm running v4 with the Gingerbread framework. Most things are running pretty well, but nothing Twitter-related will work. Plume gives me "Login or password combination is invalid. Please also verify your phone date and time". Phone date and time are correct.

Slidescreen Pro tells me "received authentication challenge is null", and attempting to install the official Twitter app gets me "Missing shared library".

Is anyone else having trouble with anything Twitter-related?
[Nook Color Android Development] ganovim:
Am running froyo with a density of 240 without any issues.

So why cannot HC be set the same.

[Nook Color Android Development] omega1alpha:
Works fine on a Sandisk Class 2 card on my end. I'm amazed at how smooth everything seems to run. I have no need to run this off of eMMC at the moment. I believe the Sandisk cards might be better performers than the official rating. YMMV with other manufacturers. I've read/heard that the transcend cards offer great bang for the buck, but I wouldn't go with a class 2.

Finally got the image written to SD card... but when the nook boots up I get "Loading..." and it just seems to stay there forever. Is anyone else having that problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] droidseban:
Well, since you formatted it, there is a partition. Diskimages don't write to partitions. Try deleting the existing partition(s) from your SD card using diskpart in Windows or dd in Linux. Then write the image to the SD card.

Twitter requires Maps

In my experience, Maps was required to be installed prior to installing Twitter. Maps v5.0.0 works on HC but don't install the Market update to v5.1.0 which causes a Force Close.
[Nook Color Android Development] ws6kid:
has anyone got flash or youtube working yet? :confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
thanks for the info

would you say to avoid using class 2 sd cards if it is possible? i am planning on buying a sd card but it isnt soon but i also want to dual boot eclair and honeycomb using the sd card boot method should i wait to do the dual boot or just do it right now and when i get my new sd card just reinstall on there?

youtube mobile works for me
[Nook Color Android Development] surgicalsnack:
Hmmm. I've got Maps 5.0 installed already, and the market is working fine, just no Twitter. It's working for you?

The only thing I can think is that my date/time is off somehow, and that's causing an authentication error. It's correct in settings, but the timestamps on email in Gmail is off. The time was incorrect when I first installed, so I set it manually. Have rebooted several times already since then.

Doesn't make sense that the time in Gmail is different than the system time...
[Nook Color Android Development] cray1000:
its just that anything other than class 2 is hard to find retail. Many places like radio shack, staples, office depot, the best buy by me atleast, only have class 2 cards. I would think your local best buy should have class 4 cards atleast, but anything other than class 4 is hard to find.
[Nook Color Android Development] Midaw:
I would like to have a honeycomb core with 2.6.35, but that taken as a source for the finalization of the nucleus under nook color do not understand. omapsource good start, but they did not lay out the kernel configuration omap3621. but it does refine omap3630 to 3621 is too complicated. probably easier to take the official kernel and android in google and refine them. sorry for my bad english (google translate) What do you think about this?
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
ok thank you for the info, i still have some shopping around to do but i do hope i can find at least a class 4 sd card locally

without aosp better now refine froyo 2.2) even though that will be fully operational rather than the official firmware
[Nook Color Android Development] njdevils28:

When Honeycomb goes AOSP will the devs be able to craft a burnable image of it for the NC?

[Nook Color Android Development] opoteat:
First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this work dblue! I'm using a KingMax 8gb Class 10 card that I purchased from Amazon and this is working really well. There are a few items not working, which is to be expected, but many that I expected to be broken are actually working nicely. This thread is a gorilla to read, and like many others have said it's chocked full of SD card issues.... so... is there a thread for those of us that have it working but would like to ask common questions and post issues?

Thanks again dBlue... For those of you trying to decide Froyo or Honeycomb... I like this "preview" version of HC much better than anything else I've installed on my NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Hopefully yes, they should be able to. Assuming the code isn't too wildly different, the lessons and fixes found for this preview build should be implementable (or not even needed) in AOSP code.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
My issues with HC:

Each homescreen seems midsized in that some things end up off edge if the icon or widget is on the side.

Lack of Flash and Youtube.

FC of may appear that appear noncompatible. E. G. He version of quick office when browsing. Also formatting issues with Aldiko.....

Less important but ideally fixed is he acceleration.

Correct these and There would be no need for Froyo.

[Nook Color Android Development] ocdtrekkie:
Given how well the preview image works at current, and that there's only a matter of a couple weeks at most until we have a complete Android 3.0 to work with, I don't see this as needing any further development until we have the final build. Although I surely would not complain if there was.
[Nook Color Android Development] bjitty:
My thoughts exactly.
[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
Somewhat off topic but I looked around and couldn't find an up-to-date version of WSVGA Swype, so I hacked at the Swype 2.15.14680 (I think that is the most current version, citing from memory) beta and created a WSVGA version.

I am using it with HC right now but I'm sure it would work with Froyo etc as well on the Nook Color (or, I guess, any device with that same screen resolution). I saw elsewhere on these boards there used to be a little controversy over posting Swype APK's so I wont post the APK here yet, but if someone could provide a little policy guidance to this user and if there is enough interest I can make another post on the subject.
