While this was skillfully crafted from a preview SDK image, I do want to remind people that what we are all really waiting for is NOT the SDK, but the AOSP source code. This will allow devs to compile the Honeycomb build, with the things that our tablet needs specifically, which should improve performance/stability.
[Nook Color Android Development] sinister4g63:
I stand corrected! That was for in-app billing. Guess I should read the whole report next time. I apologize!
[Nook Color Android Development] sinister4g63:
Good point! That could be a little while.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Seems as if anyone ever says a negative someone will always counter and that is not my point. My point is that there are many people who are novices at all this and are doing a lot of downloading and trying to get adb working... all for the promise of honeycomb on their tablet nook.

Fact is with the exception of the prettier ui, the eclair or froyo builds out there are more stable, faster and more functional.

I think you must be honest with us. You are not seeing lag on launching different apps at times? with fc and waits or close app butons? Is flash working for you?

Many apps refuse to launch or fc that don't on the others.

I think in timethis can become a daily driver but for now, for most people I think beyond the excitement of seeing hc on their nc, they are likely better off using something else.
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
This is indeed impressive for an SDK preview. However, once the HC source drops, I'll want to try out all those new HC Tablet GApps. So, I'm done playing with this for now until whenever that is.
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
Alright I am running this on a 4gb card and it is pretty snappy, I love the dark theme and (I know) the "Tron-esque" theme as well. As I am running on a 4gb card Im not going to install anything yet till I get an 8/16 card :P One thing that got me really excited was the bluetooth on/off, I use my bluetooth stereo all the time with my Vibrant listening to audio books while doing chores/work so I really hope the bluetooth switch will be used very very soon. One thing though is the pinch zoom on the browser did not work, it did on nookhoney01, well did not work for me anyway.

Thank you deeper-blue for letting us play, and seeing this is not a Samsung device I think we will get a true taste of honey soon!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
Working great, I used Partition Wizard, its a free app but you can do it without it, explanation is just a couple posts back.
[Nook Color Android Development] Link3737:
I am absolutely in love with this preview image. It can be awfully slow/buggy at times, but I'll keep using it if only to have this sexy new 3.0 browser.

Can't wait to see what you devs do with an actual release of Honeycomb :D
[Nook Color Android Development] donhu:
nice try, i appreciate it.

i was already doing everything u stated here with the exception of actually creating a partition after deleting the old ones using easus, or else win32diskimager wouldn't have found a drive to write to. It didnt anyways.

I got the card written to using winimage... (restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive) after creating a clean fat32 partition using easus. Then i popped the card in and let it boot...

Mine got stuck on that screen with ANDROID in the top/bottom left and the blinking cursor... i got really sad then just kept rebooting it until voila! "working" honeycomb!
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
To increase the partion I just ran software mentioned above the EU... and then select the sdcard and click on change partion size, I moved the slider all the way down and then apply. Now I have a 13 gigabyte partition which can be access in ubutu by simply dragging and dropping apks and music on to it. To do all this just use SD card reader on PC. Done. Just posted this to make it simple sorry if someone posted this before, prob did, just hope it helps. Thanks darkblue and all devs.

Now how do I install a kernel if I can't go into recovery? If I had overclocked with 1.1 gzh kernel will it stick?

Sent from my HoneyNook Color, that's right, **** the ipad!
[Nook Color Android Development] mutant13:
I used hard disk low level format tool on my pc, then reformatted with nook
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
Yeah to format I just used my nook too, if only we could install another partition running froyo off the SD card which would run the same apps installed on the SD card with a boot option window when powering. Also maybe a windows 7 image stripped.

-via honeynook, thats right **** the ipad!
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
It was posted somewhere to just extract the uImage from the omap3630 1.1G zip and replace it onto your HC SD card using the SD Reader. That is what I did and I'm zooming along @ 1.1G.

Now if I could only figure out why Sketchbook Mobile, Angry Birds and Galcon all FC on me, then I'd be golden until HC has been rooted.
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
Thanks I appreciate It ilk try it when I get home.

-via honeynook, thats right **** the ipad!
[Nook Color Android Development] jackxlj:
i cant get the 1.1 kernal to boot,just sits at the "android_" screen
[Nook Color Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
this happened to me... i got it to work by re-flashing honeycomb and putting the eclair kernel on before the first boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] WhiskeySlx:
The Nook app from the market's FC'ing on me when I try opening a book. Anyone else?

Also - Donate link please :)
[Nook Color Android Development] torvick12:
How do i install this on my phone? N what is a nook, why does it say i dont have 2 be rooted then 2 install a nook stuff in the market it showing me 2 be rooted? Sorry jst never heard of NOOKCOLOR or w.e its called.
[Nook Color Android Development] dehidding:
Running too fast for the hardware, useaslower kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Deeper-blue, not to be mean or anything, but can you port the final xoom honeycomb that is more polished than the sdk?
[Nook Color Android Development] hidden72:
Calendar?

I added a MS Exchange account to the 02 build and it sync'd both contacts & e-mail. It didn't bring a calendar over. Under Accounts & Sync it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".

I don't see a calendar application either. Has anyone figured out how to add the calendaring capabilities into the honeycomb02 rom?

THanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] ben dover:
I'm getting an "unsupported compression method" error when trying to unzip both with windows 7 and 7zip. did I miss something or is there just an issue with the zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] tokyomonster:
Has there been a system dump yet? I don't think so (but I could be wrong).

The more likely scenario is that something will be compiled once the code hits the AOSP.
[Nook Color Android Development] donhu:
try to use winrar, 7 zip gave me problems
[Nook Color Android Development] :
I also want the Ice Cream version ported.

kthxbye
[Nook Color Android Development] ben dover:
thanks! that worked!
[Nook Color Android Development] nemith:
And you you have a Xoom (which aren't available to the public until 2/17) for him to do that?

Morons.
[Nook Color Android Development] ver2go:
It probably has been partitioned. Maybe from autonooter. Take it to a linux box and use fdisk to remove all the partitions. Then you can formet to the full capacity.
[Nook Color Android Development] Xephik:
Can anyone let me know if Adobe Reader is working with this? Im thinking of picking one up friday but the make or break is Reader.
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
You should learn how to use Google, but I'll give you a Run down.

1) This won't work on your phone as it's designed for the Barnes&Noble Nook Color.

2) The Nook Color is an E-Reader made by Book Seller Barnes & Noble. However, Tech wise, it is more of a Budget Tablet. B&N ship it running a Custom version of Android 2.1, but the Tech Community seeing it's potential (and having hacked it's predecessor) managed to Root it within Weeks of it's Launch, Enable the Market, and do Many other things. Fast Forward to around Christmas and someone takes it a step further. Having Discovered the NC's boot order was USB,MicroSD,InternalMem they went and devised a way to Boot Stock Android 2.2 from the MicroSD. Fastforward to now, and Google Released the Android 3.0 Preview and the Ambitious author of this thread took the MicroSD method but replaced 2.2 with the 3.0 Preview instead (Of Course Many Tweaks Required). Wala, Android 3.0 Honeycomb was Running on Nook Color.

3) Since this Runs Completely from the MicroSD card, There is no Modification to the Stock Nook Color OS, and therefor you don't have to worry about Flashing back to Stock before turning it in if it broke.

4) Even if you could get this on your Phone I wouldn't Recommend it. Android 3.0 Honeycomb is a Tablet Optimized version of Android. Many of it's Controls are Designed for Larger Screens therefor they would either be to Cramped on a Cell Phone or completely unusable.

I hope this clears up your Confusion.
[Nook Color Android Development] sero_13:
I downloaded the 02a version with the market already installed and it works great! I'm on a mac so I unzipped using the unarchiver as the standard osx archive utility doesn't like this file. The unarchiver gave me an error message at the end but you can just continue through. Then I just followed the steps on nookdevs (http://nookdevs.com/Nookie_FroYo:_Burning_a_bootable_SD_card) to burn the image to my sd card (I forgot I had a class 2 4gb in my nintendo ds! Result!). When its plugged into my mac the sdcard partition is visible and I can drag anything i like into it.

I'm so impressed with this, it looks amazing! The browser works very well and the stock music player is currently playing a few tunes while I type this! I downloaded Rockplayer Lite for videos and Perfect Viewer for cbzs and both work flawlessly. I tried looking for the Nook app but it wouldn't show up. Anyone else found a way around this?

Even though it is a little bit laggy and unpolished I could use this as my daily driver. Mega good work DB, you are indeed a legend!

I feel like I'm living in the future and the future tastes like honey!
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
I haven't tried Adobe Reader with 3.0 but even if it doesn't work there are Tons of PDF viewers in the Market. It's not like Adobe Reader for Android has any Special Features (ex: No DRM support). Honestly I'd go with something else like Aldiko. It Supports EPUB and PDF as well as Adobe DRM for Both and even supports Library eBooks.
[Nook Color Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
... really? I wasn't aware the source wasn't released, I am not a moron... he doesn't need a Xoom to port it, he just needs aosp honeycomb source code... :eek:
[Nook Color Android Development] rjoudrey:
Is this available for download?
[Nook Color Android Development] follower46:
He meant he installed the market and apps through adb -->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937752
[Nook Color Android Development] follower46:
I just got this exact same message. Only happened after I resized my SD partition, though.

Just throw your SD card back into your pc and format the "sdcard" partition (fat32, defaults)

You'll most likely get an error when you reboot that your messaging service was force closed, but it works fine after that.
[Nook Color Android Development] starkruzr:
Anybody want to talk about what the steps would be to get this running on eMMC?

I imagine the biggest changes would be related to changing fstab and whatever determines what the root fs is to tell it "you're running on /dev/block/mmcblk0, not /dev/block/mmcblk1." Not sure where/how to do this though.
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
I have also noticed it doesnt have the sleep problem with the adhoc patch
[Nook Color Android Development] urbanengine1:
Incorrectamondo...

Have you done any research into the nookcolor at all?

The 1.1ghz kernal runs fine, just some people run into problems using their particular nook...

We haven't a had 1 destroyed processor yet! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
I know many people need to partition their SD cards or what not I just came across this free offer for EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Pro, I used the free Home version but this might be good for people that need more bells and whistles. There is 6 hours left before the deal ends. I thought I would share. I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. This is not spam, this is just sharing something I found online and thought you good people might be able to use it. Link http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/easeus-partition-pro-701/ I hope people can use it :)
[Nook Color Android Development] ERamseth:
Do we need to keep all the folders and files labeled as trash within the image and resulting partitions? Iirc one of them was over 100 mb...

Porting Honeycomb Broswer to 2.2

I was curious as to what steps would be required to get the Android 3.0 Browser on to 2.2. I'm going to have to switch back to my 2.2 image soon but I really like how the New Browser Works. Any Way to Port it. I have the sense that it won't be as simple as Copying the APK over. Any Ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] ben dover:
I've been searching around but I cannot get win32 disk imager to work! it keeps telling me not enough space on disk. I have put the sd card into my nook and formatted it. I can see it in windows and write to it as well with my sd adapter. win32 disk imager just keeps saying not enough space on disk. any ideas?

EDIT: I put the micro sd card into my nook and hooked the nook up to the pc. I'm now able to write the image onto the micro sd card. wonder if my SD card adapter is broken?
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
i agree it is amazing now my 16gb is being fully used
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
Jeeeez, I just did this last night, I don't know why I am having trouble.

I downloaded the 2a version. I am trying to extract the img with WinRar but twice now it's telling there "probably isn't enough room" on my 8gb sd card! That sucker has been formatted, shows the entire thing free.....

Wth am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] geekykid:
wow. it must be hard to read the instructions now a days. 98% of this thread is people complaining they cant format a sd card or dd over the image. wow.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
You don't extract it to the sdcard. Extract it to a folder then use Winimage to write it to the sdcard
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
I can only speak for myself, but I have read every post in this thread and almost every post in the similar thread at AndCent. I only post a question when I have tried everything and it's still not working.

I think one of the problems is that the expected results of a lot of the actions that need to be performed do not happen - writing the image to the sd card does not complete 100% but it's still ok. Software that has been used in the past and works fine doesn't work with this, etc.

It can be confusing and most here have been very helpful. It took me hours to get it done last night but it worked and I am very pleased. And I'll get it done tonight, too and whatever is wrong, whatever I am doing wrong.... I will learn from it and hopefully be able to help others in the future.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
SERIOUSLY!! Some detailed instructions or FAQ in the first post would help a TON.
[Nook Color Android Development] tech_head:
Hi All,

I played with it over the last day.

I like it and applaud the work to get it to this state.

Now the but...

It just isn’t ready for primetime because it isn’t based on the full release.

Too many weird things for application sync with the market.

No root so many applications I like won’t work.

Some non-root applications just don’t work.

I’m going to pass until there is something based on a real release by Google.

I’m willing to donate toward a port much like I did for teardown, but I’m going to wait to use it.
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
"SERIOUSLY!!" Head on over to Nookdevs. The guy posted the How-To there. You know so Everything's in One Place.

http://www.nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
look the developer has worked hard on this port he doesnt have to do anything, hes not getting paid just out of niceness. You need help ask or use GOOGLE, android is developed by google, so at least learn how to use it. Not trying to sound like a jerk but come on dont complain just because you want answers fast. Do the effort to find your answer, i found everything clear but 1 thing which would have been easy to find out if i wasnt in to rush to find the details until my image was downloaded. patience is a virtue but the wait is a *****.
[Nook Color Android Development] pasqualebambino:
Format it in your nook after booting up normally. It will say unable to read, would you like to format? Yes. Then eject.
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
appears my phone was having issues as the default wpa_supplicant does work in adhoc mode
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
the wifi is definitely much better no disconnets at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] tjdmobile:
Yeah, I am looking at this ONLY as a very cool preview of what's to come. I loaded it up, put some apps on there. For the time being though, Froyo on my SD card is a lot more polished and useful so i will keep an eye out for news on 3.0

That said, what an awesome feeling to know that my little reader is such a versatile tablet, and with such a strong developer following already!

[Nook Color Android Development] graymulligan:
Unfortunately this is what is bred when links show up on the front page of android central or engadget. You get an influx of people who don't want to learn anything, they simply want to hit a button and get something cool.

I realize that sounds really elitist, and I honestly don't mean it that way. It just seems that this type of thing really clutters things up. I'm all for questions, but read the thread, then post the question, rather than jumping in on page 60, with the same question that's been addressed literally 20 times in the thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Some updates on

-- comparative benchmarking of NC and Xoom;

[Nook Color Android Development] graymulligan:
Well said. I enjoyed playing with this today, but in the end, it's not quite "done" yet, in no way because of the efforts of the devs working on it. Its tough to cobble together a working image from the sources they're working with, and that's an impressive feat.

I can't wait until the folks much smarter and more talented than me have better stuff to build with.

And you're right. For $250, this thing is really amazing.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Glad its workimg for you for me quickoffice hd fc trying to open a file flash doesnt work, kindle app causes soft reboots and tje whole ui is laggyas anything.

She does look pretty though.

If the price is right the lg slate with honeycomg looks perfect and seeimg wt honeycomb will do i will lkely make the nook less of an experiment and more of a book reader when it comes out.

;-)
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
WTF are you talking about? I'm not the one who needs help its the other 300 posts about win32img not working or 7zip isnt working. I have done plenty of reading/searching. I wasn't complaining I was saying if there were instructions or an faq in the first post this thread would be half the size it is. Before you tell someone what to do you should read what/why that person wrote it first
[Nook Color Android Development] Eirikr88:
Awesome work man! So amazing what you were able to work with on so little. Obviously not primetime but so amazing. I think if this takes of Honeycomb for the nook could be amazing. I had some sluggish experience (could be that I don't have a higher class SDcard) but it was definitely sweet. Keep up the awesome work!

would love if you could help out on the galaxy tab development too. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] johnnydeathmatch:
That's the zipped image. The unzipped image is 4.0GB for V2 and V2a. Others have reported success with a 4GB card, however (the last few bits don't get written, but they are blank space anyway, it seems).

I'd find a way to download this faster.... like a library or friends house and a thumb drive. Heck, using my phone as a hotspot wouldn't even take that long. Good luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ooglez:
I'm getting stuck and the ANDROID_ screen upon booting. Using a Class 6 16GB card. Forgive my ignorance, but I've tried searching. Can this be fixed by some type of partitioning? If so, how? Thanks.

3.0 Fingerprint for protected Market apps

Nice catch! It seems that a fingerprint of

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/trygon/stingray:3.0/HRI32/99938:userdebug/test-keys

does work. Does anyone see any new apps when using this fingerprint?

EDIT: I moved the instructions for modifying the fingerprint in build.prop to the Nook Color Portal page on the nookdevs.com wiki. Check there before asking how to make this change
[Nook Color Android Development] SeanFL:
now I'm quite interested in getting a color nook. All my local stores say none available until after 2/15 or so. Sounds like it might be the same for the mail order through BN. Anyone else trying to buy one? I bet they see an influx of Android hackers buying them up now. If it's 70% of the experience of a Galaxy tab for 1/2 of the price, why not!? (and maybe it's 110% of the experience of a tab, I don't know)

No Nook Colors for two weeks? http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20030475-1.html

Sean
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
Should be Google Body, new "video" Google Talk, GMail, some more, maybe couple 3D games (I'm not interested in, so don't remember). If they don't show up, then there's more suff on NC reporting back that this is no genuine Xoom. Besides, if these new "tablet" apps even download and install on Honeyed NC, they might not run -- just yet.

Did you try modifying Stagefright stanzas in build.prop? Any results in video playback quality? Neocore benchmarks?

TIA
