No luck

I worked and worked on getting this to boot, without any luck :(

Here are the steps that got me to this point. Win7 x64 PC.

Ran win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32 and got the honeynook.img file unzipped using winrar. The md4 sum on the original rar downloaded checks out.

Put it on a class2 16gb SD card. Was careful to wipe and reformat the card. Success (after multiple failed tries) on getting win32 disk imager to write the honeynook.img file.

Then I insert the card in a powered down NookColor, and boot up. Nothing significant happens. Nook boots into stock interface. What gives?

I'm working with a completely stock up-to-date 1.1 Nook. Do I need to have the Nookcolor rooted? Does the current update disable this?

Progress then failure. I bought a new sd card reader. Very basic. Flashed the HC nookColor file, looked good. Got farther - all the way to the ANDROID_ flashing. And from their I'm stuck - looks like the I can't use this card, as warned in the OP. Perhaps I will buy another SD card. Ugh.
[Nook Color Android Development] fntms:
I don't get that much battery burn, but I use SetCpu with "on demand", maybe that helps?

Otherwise, this build is great for me for day to day use: Exchange is working (never got it to work on 1.1 r2), mail and browsing are much better (better than dolphin also), I can live with the market problem (can't see my apps, but can work around this with titanium and still get my apps to update). Videos are too slow to watch , and I miss Youtube HQ sometimes...Also the wifi connexion seems to be more finicky than on eclair.

Overall excellent work...
[Nook Color Android Development] teckels:
I am not having any luck with Exchange, unable to open connection to server error. My exchange account works fine on my incredible.

This is a test build, built from the emulator image. It's going to have problems, it's not ready for prime time yet. But it is very nice!

So the kernels in Dalingrin's thread do not work v04 honeycomb at all it just hangs. I was able to pull an earlier kernel version from Honeycomb v4 2nd Edition for eMMC and it does work. The kernel date and time is 02/06/2011 22:46 with a file size of 2,701,776 bytes if you are trying to overclock v04.
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
I found that of the HC kernels in Dalingrin's thread, the 1GHz did hang but the 1.1GHz didn't. I currently use the 1.1GHz kernel on HC v4 without issue. Dalingrin said it was a known issue and that there exists a race condition that prevents device boot sometimes (or always in my case with 1GHz version).
[Nook Color Android Development] DanielNTX:
How do you differentiate what the speeds are in his files?

[Nook Color Android Development] Contra1971:
hey if I creat settings for the NC while using the SD card in Honycomb, does it write to the card?

so when iI take it out and put it back, will it still be there?

and if I download apps/games/books will they write to the card?

if so awesome two questions

how can I get the market on here without ADB ability?
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
Just installed this HC this morning. Angry Bird, Facebook, youtube force close every time I tried to open. Angry Bird (seasonal) works fine but not the regular one. Does any of these work for you guys?

Wifi is solid. I switched from Froyo because of the famous wifi problem.

Also just bought ezPDF reader to read magazines on my SD card. I kept getting "Can't access to SD Card. Try again after SD Card successfully mounted." Not sure what the problem is but I can use ES File Explorer to browse to the pdf files on the SD Card. Any suggestion?

TIA!
[Nook Color Android Development] Contra1971:
are you running it from the SD card or internal memory?

if from the SD card how did you get the market on there?
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
Running from internal.

Btw, just had my first random reboot now. Dang.. this HC has so many problems. I think the Froyo is quicker and smoother that this HC. Wish there's no wifi issue with Froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] BroDroid:
Most games need to be installed on the internal memory. I had the same issue. You tube doesn't work in HQ

[Nook Color Android Development] BroDroid:
Do you have a personal build I can try?

Sent from my Droid
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
Well... I mean... Wasn't it pretty clear that there were going to be problems from the outset?

I've only been running the flashable version for a day or so, but I'm generally well pleased. It has its issues, but most of the applications I run on a daily basis seem to be working great. No random reboots yet, but hell, I get those with my phone to this day, but they've never really become an issue.

All in all, for a preview build, this is solid. Excited to see how it progresses.

[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Yup, how did you know this? Hah

I don't remember seeing any other version of Android releasing, and then a .1 so quickly after. It may have happened, but personally I can't recall it.

Does this mean March 18th = Honeycomb hits AOSP?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Techincally it could be today. I'm guessing it'll happen next week.

As far as I can remember they all had a X.X.1 update. Droid, N1, NS, were all updated immediately after release which coincided with their release dates. In this case Moto convinced them to let em ship with early code (huge risk).
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I have not used any of this on a Nook, but from what I have read:

You need to buy an App called SetCPU to set the speed and voltage, and you would be advised to read threads here about that before doing anything, as this is probably the one thing that can fry your Nook.

Overclocking is based on the idea that slow chips and fast chips are the same design, faster ones are simply wafers that came out better (oversimplification).

Sometimes, chip makers will have too many of the fast ones sitting in the warehouse (because they are priced higher), so they label them with the slower speed in order to sell them.

You can't tell in advance what is in your device, hence the need to try faster speeds gradually and incrementally.

All this is the theory, there may be variations for the particular CPU used by B&N.
[Nook Color Android Development] smaskell:
the gingerbread source was released at least a week or two before 2.3.1 came out

I don't think the x.x.1 update really has anything to do with the release to aosp
[Nook Color Android Development] msherwood:
Yeah, but the Gingerbread code was ready for release (unlike, you know, Honeycomb). Maybe this 3.0.1 update will bring Honeycomb up to snuff and solve some of the problems it had at launch. Google doesn't want to release crappy code into the wild, and although I'm pretty impatient I'm with them on this one. I'm just really hoping that 3.0.1 is the magic number. If this doesn't solve some of the early bugs, they might even make another update before AOSP release.

Image file size?

Hi all,

I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with.

I've burned the 4 gb image of HC and it works great!

However, I only have a 6gb card, and want to get my other 2 GB's back.

How can I make this into a 6gb image?

Or is there another way to get my extra space on a separate partition?

Thanks!

I got it on my NC running deeper-blue's HC V4 and it still is not working. In my application it says I have Adobe V10.2 but Youtube and CNN still do not work. I installed Adobe 10.2 thru Astro file manager after I changed the Surprise_Flash from a .zip to a .apk. It installed correctly but it does not work. Wonder what went wrong. I downloaded it from MyDroidWorld.com from my Nook Color's stock browser. It downloaded to sdcard\download
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
i think it might be because we are on an older sdk port

EDIT

i was wondering if we are going to be updated to the final sdk over this one

usually i would say "wait for aosp" but see as aosp might not be released for quite sometime i think it would be better if we were running the latest SDK(from what i read on the nexus forums apps like google body work on the final sdk but it doesnt work on the preview
[Nook Color Android Development] trilogy069:
I could not agree more. While we wait for AOSp, it would be nice to have a build with he final SDK while we wait. Any other thoughts on that? What would be a reason why that would not be done?
[Nook Color Android Development] joe91584:
Thank you all for the wonderful work on this rom.

Tomorrow I am going to be buying 2 more nooks for a friend and a family member. I just cant wait to see what updates we have next like bluetooth on CM7 and smooth video playback on 2.2.1 or even that not so good flash.

But no matter how many down sides and up sides HC has at this time, it;s my daily driver.

Thank you all for the hard work and keep up the great job.
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
deeper-blue put a lot of time in to this build. I think it's understandable that it's hard to gear up to do it again for the final sdk when aosp is lurking somewhere around the corner, and we all know how eager we'll be for an aosp build.
[Nook Color Android Development] Lento10:
I wonder why google is taking so long.
[Nook Color Android Development] thezero4:
I know I'm looking forward to a google to remade aosp build. Honeycomb is already so nice, can't wait till I can run tablet apis on it. Especially the gmail, calendar and music app that are on the xoom.
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
They are probably fixing bugs in the xoom code
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
Just throwing this out there - but ScummVM works.

Which is absolutely awesome.

[Nook Color Android Development] cabbieBot:
if aosp drops and he wants to use his limited free time to do it, great.

if not, that is that. he already has gone above and beyond what anyone expected, leaving an very positive mark on nook for the community. id just leave him alone and be happy for what we got
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Polish and merging. The tablet specific code for 3.0 was built almost independently of the AOSP code, so there's alot of merging to be done.

An emulator for old adventure games like Maniac Mansion, Full Throttle, Monkey Island, etc.

[Nook Color Android Development] jtxmobile:
I think they wont release the final built just yet. 1. they won't want cheap 3.0 tablets out there with poor built quality etc to eat away on the premium tablets that really showcase 3.0 and can complete with Ipad 2. Just thinking...hope I am wrong
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
None of them will compete with the iPad 2.

I fear that the Xoom's poor initial showing has left a permanent mark on Honeycomb tablets :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
I have been running stock Froyo on my DroidX (same cpu and gpu as the nook) overclocked to 1.35 for almost 6 months now without overheating/issue.

Note to self: Ask in the kernel thread when we can up the overclock values or request the kernel not limit the overclock so we can get an app (maybe DX/D2 overclock) to set it higher.
[Nook Color Android Development] Decad3nce:
This is the second time I've had to clean this thread because of non-development related bickering/trolling.

This is a warning. Future "spamming" of this thread will lead to infractions and inevitably, bans.

[Nook Color Android Development] whiffer2:
Price kills the Xoom and other expensive ($400+) android tablets. Price doesnt kill Apple because its too cool and trendy in our society. The beauty of android and the devices that should carry the OS are a nice and hopefully cheaper alternative to Apples overpriced products without compromising functionality and ease-of-use. I personally laugh at every soul that spend the money on an ipad(2) or even a Xoom for that matter. It is wasteful spending (in my mind) when you consider the alternative of what a *rooted* NC can do. Some people just have money to burn, so more power to them. I have to be budget conscious, and the value proposition at $250 for a nook color and what its capable of, was unavoidable to me and my needs for such a device. Honeycomb will live on. Its the device manufacturers that need to rethink their pricing and component strategies. I loved the ads for Xoom, but people saw the price and thought to themselves that they could get the trendy ipad instead. Just my humble opinion, not right or wrong, just an opinion.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
I think in the kernel thread they were saying anything above 1.1 had stability issues that basically led to it being abandoned.
[Nook Color Android Development] Dadeeo:
I'm afraid your right. I definitely agree Motorola is single handedly killing the future of the Android tablet market.

Funny thing is, I played with a XOOM at Best Buy today and REALLY liked it, so much so, I'm considering trying this rom instead of the CM Nightlies I'm using now, but is this rom any better than CM???
[Nook Color Android Development] Vettesfan:
Has anyone found a permanent fix to the password issue with HC?
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
what password issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] luigi90210:
sometimes there is an error with this honeycomb build(well all of them for that matter) that tells you have to enter a password to decrypt storage when there is no encryption on the device in the first place

my theory on this is that honeycomb is mistaking corrupted data for encrypted data(which explains the password decryption) but im not 100% sure if that is the reason behind it

not from what i know of, the only way to fix it is to reinstall the whole rom or install it on the eemc(i did that and i have only gotten it once so far)
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
ah, that one. Haven't gotten it yet so...

I LOVE my Xoom and Honeycomb is an amazing OS. My wife has now the NC and I'm trying to keep it up-to-date as well. As soon as HC is ported to the NC I'll be all over it, trust me! Until then I'm still looking for a decent SD card-based ROM. I tried this but it is not that stable. Are there any non EMMC ROMs that support flash?
[Nook Color Android Development] rochford77:
how do you get the market when running off the sd?
[Nook Color Android Development] E_man5112:
To anyone saying the XOOM and motorola are killing honeycomb don't understand. If they could, would the manufacturers make iOS tablets as well? Sure! But they can't. Since that is true, they will continue to make android tablets by the boatload, and consumers will buy. Just like they buy android phones ;). Heck, there are plenty of markets where the iPhone is sold on all carriers, and android still sells more. I believe that's true in both UK and canada, maybe others.

Judging based on one early model that is extremely expensive is short sighted.
[Nook Color Android Development] ocdtrekkie:
Xoom is essentially a prototype, and I love having it. It's literally the piece of hardware Google design Android 3.0 on. Every feature of it isn't taken advantage of right now, but it's included so that it can later. It's a future-proof design, and it's meant to be the cream of the crop of tablets. We'll see a variety of models in different forms and price brackets down the road. Variety is the name of the Android game, and it will provide.

The Xoom is my tablet. It isn't everyone's tablet, but maybe your tablet's coming out next month. That's why Android is awesome.
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
Yes, the bootable SD card of CM7 (Gingerbread) one does. I downloaded / installed it from the Market. While video playback is still buggy, the rest of Flash seems to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
I wanted to like the XOOM but it arrived too unfinished. It still is and it is still undetermined when that will change. If the LG G-Slate (Optimus Pad) arrives with similar shortcomings that would surprise me. At least it should ship with Flash already working. It'd be nice if the SD card slot and 4G radio shipped already working too. :p ATM, my favorite OS is CM7 on my NC until the HC AOSP drop happens. :cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] funnycreature:
Do you have a link? Maybe this weekend I'll wipe the wife's SD card installation and replace it w/ something more stable.
[Nook Color Android Development] darx:
Nookie Froyo has flash and excellent youtube playback. Also played my AVI's perfectly on rockplayer.

Nookie Froyo IS the media rom you are looking for. Thus far CM7 and HC just aren't ready as every day roms. (unless you don't use video)
[Nook Color Android Development] aximilation:
I agree, I grabbed the NC for $220 and this is the first thing I did to it. I love the fact that it fits in my pocket (barely)

Yea it can be buggy and a bit slow, but it can only get better. I can't wait to have a quality version I can install to the device and do a little overclocking. Keep up the good work!
[Nook Color Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
i will be picking this up soon and this seems like the best thing to install on it
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
That is what we in the industry call "a subjective statement".

It's definitely got the biggest number on it (3.0)
[Nook Color Android Development] BroDroid:
I've never tried the SD card version. But the Samuelhalff HC ver4 2nd ed works great on the emmc. It gets a little laggy some times, but I like the layout a lot more than a phone layout ie gingerbread/froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] Krazypoloc:
^I'm with stupid. :)

While the GUI layout in 3.0 is superior to 2.3 or 2.2 the overall experience is not. I have been running CM7 nightlies since they came out and decided to try HC ver4 V2 the other day and while 3.0 is awesome and makes me wish so bad that it was good enough to look past the major bugs I cannot......not stable and bug free enough for a daily driver IMO.

I do check every day to see if HC AOSP has dropped because we all know Team Douche is gonna jump all over that one!

[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
Okay, now I think it's worth community effort to port the final HC SDK to the NC.

From the underlying Business Week article:

Over the past few weeks, Google has notified device makers of its change in plans with Honeycomb. Android executives have also been telling companies that Google will likely wait to make another open-source distribution of Android software until it completes the next version, called Ice Cream.

http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/mar2011/tc20110324_269784.htm
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
CM7 is pretty epic right now. the HC work is neat, but it's not prime time IMHO.

So let me get this straight, 3.0 was designed specifically for tablets because they wanted to get working binary out there to their favorite device makers before going back in to redesign it to work with phones and such, only to probably delay the source release until they have the binary release of their NEXT project? Feels like a new business model to me, and exactly why I wish people would either go proprietary and be responsible for "Making it Work" or go GPL and let the community help. BSD/Apache licenses are for wimps.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Maybe. I can't wait to see a fully functional gingerbread first (bluetooth range and dsp'ish bugs worked out)

I really like the way 3.0 feels, but without bluetooth I can't change platforms. Too in love with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] backlund:
I'm probably completely wrong on this, but I seem to remember reading that the lack of BT range is limited because there isn't actually an antenna for it in the nook. Not sure how much can be done with that.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I have read that. I also read otherwise.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
BT and WiFi share the same antenna, so that should not be the cause of the problem.

As for this FU Google... i had a fear they were pulling this crap. You know what i think the real reason is? If you hold the source code, people like us can't make HC run on our Nooks, GTabs, etc; if we want HC, we have to buy an overpriced tablet like the Zoom or Galaxy 10. the makers know it, so they beg (or threaten) google to hold the source, so they hold the market.. This feels very "Apple" to me, and it sickens me...
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
I share your worry. My hope is that once we reach some threshold market level of tablets, we will have manufacturers (other than Moto) on "our" side, demanding AOSP.

Much as google releases AOSP for the "phone" Androids now, once Android tablets have enough foothold, hopefully we'll be back to the quick AOSP model.
[Nook Color Android Development] E_man5112:
I highly doubt this to be the case. Think about what we know about honeycomb so far. Everything, and I mean everything, has seemed extremely rushed. They now have the time to fix every shortcut they took and add everything they left out to make the deadline.

If the XOOM+Honeycomb had come out fully featured and exactly how a released version of android should run, I'd agree with you. Since it didn't, I'm buying the reasons behind this. Besides, Google's always been all for things like porting it to nook. I believe I heard Rubin say he would love to see it running on everything including your toaster.
