It works on a 4gb card!! I used winimage to burn it and it got stuck at 94% so I just canceled it and put the sdcard in my NC and it boots!!! I think it got stuck at 94% because it was trying to create the last partition which wouldn't fit on the 3.8 gb of the 4gb card

Awww.... I was super excited and now I also have a sad face :( - I'll keep checking back for updates... I do have a 16gb card, but it has all my APKs and comics on it.. I feel like trying to partition, but I dont wanna mess up my main SD card...
[Nook Color Android Development] computercarl:
Left NC @ home today...

Why is it that every day I leave my NC @ home, something big happens? Last week it was the 1.1.0 update, Today is an actual release of HC... Maybe I'll leave it home one day next week so we can get CM7 or a freshly-compiled-from-source-HC... :p
[Nook Color Android Development] skunkiechris:
Edit: Reboot fixed it, lol. *shrug*

Trying to put it on an 8GB SD card... Win32DiskImager says not enough space, which doesn't make sense! And WinImage doesn't show the card as an option for "restore virtual image" even after I choose "Use removable drive". ARGh!!! Any ideas? The card is empty and freshly formatted.
[Nook Color Android Development] A. Nonymous:
Well, it looks like it's going to take ages to download. Does anyone have this mirrored anywhere other than the 3rd or 4th post which requires a password?
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
Try putting in the sd card in your nook and reformatting it and then try writing to it again
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
If i put it in a 16gb will I be able to use the remaining 8gb for storage or will the sd card only be used to flash the image? Sorry it wasn't mentioned in any post i checked.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Market works if you follow the instructions I posted a few pages back. Now we just need super user
[Nook Color Android Development] designate72:
You should be able to format the rest of the SD as /sdcard, like you could in nookie froyo. When I get the download I'll try it.

DeeperBlue: YOU ARE THE BEST DUDE. Keep up the awesome work!
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
nice, what if we just download and use root explorer and install will that work? are you able to access the internal storage or the rest of the sdcard, if using an 8gb or higher?

It flashed fine to a 4GB SD card for me (it ran out of space at the end, but that wasn't something that affects the filesystem as the image is padded with zeros).
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
sorry dude, im using the first link, at work tethered to my evo, and only in 3g with 2 bars. It is downloading at 200kb per sec which is pretty fast and with IDM, it says 48 mins for whole download and i need 20 left with 45 percent done. I love sprint, would use 4g but i ****ed up my 4g. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
For this V4 build, i decided to try a new card - an 8GB Sandisk Class"2". I say that, since like others, this card FAR FAR exceeds class 2. When backing up the data, it was able to sustain a read of 12/MBs, and a write of 7.5MB/s. This realllly puts my Kingston Class "4" to shame, which had a sustained write of 2.5MB/s. For me, i actually think this explains two things:

1) My UI in both this and Froyo have always felt more laggy than others describe, and I think that the slow card was part of it. And now the database write test on Quadrand takes no more thna min, where before it could take upwards of 5.

2) My market downloads are now no longer sludge - not quite as snappy as Eclair, but very close. It is actually usable now.

I am going to try my damnedest to stick with this (or future builds), since i love HC so much.

BTW - Dal's v03+ Kernel works great with v04..
[Nook Color Android Development] thisisjjd:
What are some suggestions for good gards for HC on the NC?

I had been trying to use a Kingston Class 4 8GB and it would hang on the ANDROID_ prompt at boot. I tried a Transcend Class 6 8GB and it booted just fine, but seemed quite slow.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good performing card?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
After trying a Kingston and now a Sandisk, i can HIGHLY recommend a Sandisk..
[Nook Color Android Development] msherwood:
I went and grabbed a 4GB class 2 Sandisk from Radioshack for 10 bucks. From the YouTube videos I've seen, running HC off this card is as fast as any. This card rocks for this version of HC for some reason. Pick one up and save yourself the hassle. Also, with your 110MB partition problem after imaging, I had that too. But I didn't pay attention to it and I just stuck the SD in the Nook and it worked. So don't worry so much about it. Get a different card and enjoy Honeycomb!

I had this problem even after a reboot on v3, but always always when the screen was in portrait. So I locked it in landscape and it stopped happening. Are you using it in portrait when this happens as well? On another note, did they make changes to make the edges more sensitive? Did it work? That was driving me nuts, especially when notifications popped up.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jimmy Conley:
Slow market

I love what's going on here. I have noticed that the market that gets installed from the script from these forums runs very slow. :confused: I spend a large amount of time trying to download apps and never get one done before it's time to install the next image. I know not everyone is having this problem from reading through the posts. Does anyone have any tips. I am using a class 4 8gb sd card. I write the image with winimage and then expand it with the partition manager listed in all these threads. Anywho if you have any advice I'd love it. Thanks OP for a fun adventure with honeycomb!

wha? I can't connect over ADB now [v4] - getting "USB Device Malfunctioned" in Win7 x64. Anyone else?
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
I have a question about restoring the sd card back to default partitions. I used winImage and burned the V0.3 on a 16GB sd card and would like to restore it back to vfat and try a different sd card. I tried simply formatting it and it shows up as having 117MB of free space when I put it in one of my phones. I attempted to repartition it using rescueCD but I don't think I did it correctly since it still shows 117MB. I have only partitioned sd cards a few times, could someone post some steps to restore an sd card after using winImage? Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] donhu:
use easus partition manager home edition:

delete the CORRECT partitions (NOT YOUR OS HDD)

then recreate the partition u want from the unallocated space

Wow.
[Nook Color Android Development] froalskiner:
Same issue here. Hours needed to install anything. I guess not enough of us are affected for the issue to be understood. For every person that has the issue there is a response from somebody saying how they are seeing great download speeds so it's not consistent.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Oddly enough, i now sit on both sides of the fence; the difference for me was changing my SD card. With my Kingston, i was having PAINFULLY slow downloads. I switched to a basic Sandisk class 2, and my downloads are almost as fast as stock now.

But i will agree on one thing - the problem is not well understood, and i haven't seen a public post where it is actually being investigated...

Patriot 16GB Class 10 @ $40 has worked well for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
I went through 6 brands a while ago... Sandisk are most consistently faster than rated But I ended up buying a handful of KingMax 4GB Class-10 from buy.com as they were the Clear Winners for me... Last nite's making HCv4 I got 20MB/s Reads and 14+MB/s writes... this has been the only reason I've been able to get over 2000 Quadrant scores from both Froyo and HC running from these SDCards with recent versions...
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Wow.. great speeds there, though i have to admit i would only want them in at least an 8GB card..
[Nook Color Android Development] Jimmy Conley:
I'll try it on my Sandisk class 2 card just for testing and get back at ya then. Maybe this bargain class 4 patriot card is not so hot. That's what I get for impulse buying.:rolleyes:

I installed Pulse apk (no push, just installed) and it looks great, but cant select any stories. V3 here. Havent tried v4 yet
[Nook Color Android Development] ministersin:
This happened to me on v3. Even installed better keyboard with same results. But after 2 or 3 reboots everything worked fine.

I would suggest reboot, play with stuff other than keyboard for a while.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Cant say this works on v4, but can say it is not unique to 4. I had it on 3 and it went away all on its own
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
I wonder whether this KingMax card may actually be faster than the internal eMMC "card".

Which is to say, I would love to know is there a limit in read/write speeds beyond which it won't make any sense to transfer "next" OS version to internal "card"?

A very valuable discovery, I'll put it in my collection of tips and tricks and problems of NC (fineoils.blogspot.com).

Again, I was asking those NC users who are successfully on v4, and among them those who feel increased sensitivity of their screens edges and corners, did it translate into hypersensitivity/"fantom" touches in more central parts of your screens?

Also, deeper-blue when stating he adjusted heap size might implied he actually needs some response on whether he's on the right HC optimization path. Namely, has anyone noticed the increase in free memory, less foreclosures in memory-demanding apps (like Pulse, Maps, G Earth, and great many others). There might be also a small (or not so small) increase in scroll speeds of very long Web pages, and other improvements I can't actually observe on my NC -- just run out of good SD cards.

TIA.
[Nook Color Android Development] ministersin:
+1

I have tried 2 off brands at class 6 and 10. My class 2 sandisk outperforms both
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
V04 is working great! I havent found a single problem yet. Now we just need to get this on EMMC.

anyone notice that they are no longer able to transfer files via usb anymore? adb still recognizes it but i have to pull my card and manually transfer stuff. any fix or is this everyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] bfhunt2009:
As I mentioned a few pages back I am experiencing these phantom touches since I installed v4. I hadn't correlated it with the middle of the screen, but it's possible that is the case.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
not having that issue, Everything transfer via adb, I no longer see the Nook drives on my MAC..
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
SO should I be ok with a Sandisk 8 gb card or should I just stick with a 4 gb?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
I would think no problemo....
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
I use both with my NC and both are just fine and dandy.
[Nook Color Android Development] ocdtrekkie:
So... with Windows 7 and a completely stock Nook, is there a convenient way to get the image widened up enough to make use of the 16GB Class 10 card it's on?
[Nook Color Android Development] bartimeus:
Yes you just need to use a partition manager to increase the size of the SD card partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Just checking because my 16g card would not work for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] scubageek01:
I have a Patriot 8Gb class 4 and it's slow as molasses.
[Nook Color Android Development] forsaken82:
my 16g card works just fine. only problem is it shows full size in the nook but not in my pc. according to my pc i only have 115mb on it i believe? any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Same problem I had too along with it hanging on the first boot screen.
[Nook Color Android Development] forsaken82:
the bad part is my 16g card is alot faster than my 8gig. i can use my 8 but it runs slow. i have a 32g card id like to use eventually after flash becomes avaliable. however condisidering my 16 is funky im not even gonna try that one yet
[Nook Color Android Development] Jimmy Conley:
Same here I went to fry's and snagged it and so far it is bad news. Will probably return it. I'm gonna test this on my Sandisk class 2 8gb.
[Nook Color Android Development] scubageek01:
Seems to be ok for a short while, then it hangs. I can't get to Market as it keep force closing. Let me know how the Sandisk Class 2 goes.
[Nook Color Android Development] MXIIA:
That would be the correct command for Linux? correct?

I tried it with v03 and it wrote but couldn't boot into Honeycomb. I'm retrying it with 4 to see if anything outstanding changes.
[Nook Color Android Development] forsaken82:
seems my 8 gig does the same thing. how can we get the sd card partition to be recognized in windows?
[Nook Color Android Development] REAVER117:
Windows only mounts the first partition of removable media. You'll need to do this to access the SD Card partition:

http://www.getusb.info/usb-hack-turn-a-usb-stick-into-a-hard-drive-or-local-disk/
[Nook Color Android Development] msherwood:
That's what I thought... even though it showed up as 115MB in Windows, it booted into HC just fine, and then after I installed some apps, I went into Settings->Applications and it showed it split into device partition and SD card partition, like I could move my apps to SD. Mounting the image on SD installs HC onto one partition and then cuts off another piece.

So there's your answer everyone... you're not losing storage space when you image your SD, it's just two partitions.
[Nook Color Android Development] Longsh0t:
Expecting my 2nd Nook to arrive this afternoon. I have my sd card all ready to go but can someone confirm that we have to keep the sd card in the nook at all times to get honeycomb? I'm assuming so but just wanted to make sure. If that's the case, I may run out and buy another microsd specifically for this since I grabbed the one out of my G Tablet to try this out.

Also does the nook need to be rooted or on a specific firmware for this to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Correction - 4 partitions:

/boot

/system

/data

/sdcard
[Nook Color Android Development] forsaken82:
guess ill wait for it to be flashable, ill just run it off my sd and swap to other card to read on with stock ui till then
[Nook Color Android Development] nootered:
Just a side note for some. Transcend branded cards, for the money, are the best I have seen. The 8GB Class 6 runs consistently at 17MB/s, and the 4GB does as well. They also offer Class 10 cards, but the minor jump in performance likely isn't worth it.

That being said, I am running a 16GB Class 10 from them, and HC just flies!
[Nook Color Android Development] Zuhkov:
Agreed. I've always gotten superb performance from Transcend cards and they're an outstanding value.

I have a number of their class 6 microSDHCs in various sizes and I've never had an issue with any of them.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
Just a note, to those wishing to change the wallpaper it is possible, though I don't know how. If you have a wallpaper set in a data partition from say froyo, and dd that data partition over honeycomb's, you will now have a different wallpaper. If anyone knows where the wallpaper is read from please post so we can freely and easily switch walls
[Nook Color Android Development] DrewLGT:
google voice does not work, which sucks. i like to text while im browsing the web
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Any idea why I can't get adb to mount and the nook wont charge?
[Nook Color Android Development] DrewLGT:
any reason this is in the HC dev thread?

really though, a lot of people have had problems with the micro usb port.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Yeah because Im running HC.
[Nook Color Android Development] DrewLGT:
well the first thing i would try would be booting into eclair, and seeing if it still doesnt work.

Nook app move to HC - possible?

Does anyone know if the reader app on the original nook can be pulled and pushed into this HC? The nook app in the market doesn't seem to work for magazines so I'd like to pull whatever the stock reader is over to HC.

I was able to use RileyGrants directions to get root on v3, but, I can't seem to get it with v4. Has anyone been able to get root? or better yet, has any of the talented people her been able to slap together script to get root on v4?

I appreciate anyones help. Each version gets better and better....Keep up the great work!
[Nook Color Android Development] darylal:
I ran into the same problem rooting v4, going to try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
For me I ran into a couple problems as well on v4. For some reason it seems like su is present in /system/bin even before attempting root? However I only check ed once so I could be wrong. All I did was cd to the main directories where su would be present (/system/bin, /system/xbin and /data/local) then ran the ls command to look for the su package, if it was there I did the "rm ./su" command to delete it. Once all the su packages were removed from my directories I re-ran the commands noted before, (I think I got most or some of that from Seeddemon) and wala, I had root! If you are still unable to root after following these instructions post here or pm me with whatever errors your getting. A quick way to check whether or not it was successful is to run the command su in adb shell. You should get the message, "su granted: courtesy of magicandroidapps.com"
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
I had it working for several days. But now on v4, when I sent it to my device from the androidmarket.com, it says it is not a supported device. I was texting both nights this weekend using it, directly from the app.

Of course a very easy workaround is to browse to it and then set it as a shortcut on your home screen, it's just not as "pretty" that way but itdoes work.
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
is there a nice way to say YOU BA$TARD??? :D

I've not seen a quad score over 1300, I have a sandisk class 4, and am using the 1100mhz kernel. But I can't get it set to performance since setcpu doesn't have root rights.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jimmy Conley:
Sandisk>Patriot

I went back to frys and found a sandisk class4 8gb for 2 bucks more and it runs much much much better. Night and day difference. Apps download right away and a quadrant of 1600 right off the first boot. Patriot SD cards FTL!
[Nook Color Android Development] bmx24:
can someone tell me how to get gapps working cus adb refuses to work on this pc so ane way other than that would be great :D

i havent tried this new one but is the market installed?
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
hahaha, try my method from a few posts up to get root! I dont know why, but if you dont delete all of the su packages already in there, you get a file exists error or too many symbolic links error.
[Nook Color Android Development] juise:
Picked up a 4gb card and reader and it works perfect! Thanks for the awesome work!
[Nook Color Android Development] BluepointVance:
V03 runs great for me... Can't get V04 to boot.

Using Patriot 8gb class 10 card. Tired V04 multiple times. Re-burned and re-booted twice. No go. Always gets stuck at the Android-blinking-cursor screen.

Then I rewrote V03 to the same card, and it booted up perfectly, first try.

Checked the V04 with md5, correct hash. Strange.

Anyone else having this kind of problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] scubageek01:
Thanks Jimmy. Looks like I'll have to pay Frys a visit tomorrow.
[Nook Color Android Development] ionstorm3:
Can you please help. I installed v04 to my sdcard and it boots. The problem I have is that I have no way of connecting my nook to my pc using adb becuase I am running ubuntu linux and don't know how to setup adb. I installed the market apps using the terminal in adb and replacing the commands /system/ with /media/system/ since when I load my sdcard the partitions mount under the media folder. I tried to follow your instructions by using the same trick and using the terminal to move su around. I have created the symlink and everything while my card is in the reader. However when I eject teh card and boot it from my nook, it boots fine, but when I try to type su into terminal emulator, I get permission denied error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

tnx
