I'm sorry if this has been posted before.

I successfully was using HG on my 4GB card but now I want to use the card for something else but everywhere I plug it in to, it's reported as a 128 MB drive. I have tried using dd to write zeros over the card, partition magic, easus, diskpart, gparted, hp formater, hdguru's low level formater. I've been googling and using search on this forum for a few hours. How do i get my card back to 4GB?

Thanks

Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean I get honeycomb for my nookcolor? :confused: Am still waiting to receive the tablet. :p
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
This is basically a non-fully functional demo version of Honeycomb that really hasn't been improve since Feburary, but sure you can try it out. We all have.

The primary "use daily" ROM is CM7 though. Our Gingerbread version has things this Honeycomb build won't get (working video acceleration, working Flash, working Bluetooth) and it get improved almost daily (soon working sleep, a 1.3Ghz overclock, full market access).
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Speaking of Flash...

Has anyone tried pulling the flash apk from B&N 1.2 (which is being recommended to try in CM7) and using it on Honeycomb?
[Nook Color Android Development] kSnaz:
No development since early February ...does this mean a dead end for 3.0 on the Nook or are the dev's waiting for proper source from Google?
[Nook Color Android Development] fzr-r4:
proper source. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] poofyhairguy:
The lack of source is the problem.

The issue is that head Android developers have said that they won't release the source to the Tablet version of Android till it has phone functions. The merging of the phone and tablet branches of Android is not scheduled till the next release- Ice Cream. Therefore the Nook might never see a fully functional Honeycomb.
[Nook Color Android Development] gedster314:
Ok I figured it out. If anyone needs the info I figured it out with some help from here:

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

Keep in mind that this article was done on a different device. Before I started using parted I did this:

ls /dev/block/

this gave me a list of devices and partions. It looked like this:

oop0 loop6 mmcblk0p4 mmcblk1p1 ram1 ram15 ram7

loop1 loop7 mmcblk0p5 mmcblk1p2 ram10 ram2 ram8

loop2 mmcblk0 mmcblk0p6 mmcblk1p3 ram11 ram3 ram9

loop3 mmcblk0p1 mmcblk0p7 mmcblk1p4 ram12 ram4

loop4 mmcblk0p2 mmcblk0p8 platform ram13 ram5

loop5 mmcblk0p3 mmcblk1 ram0 ram14 ram6

If I used /dev/block/mmcblk0 I would have toasted my Nook's partitions. I then followed the directions but used mmcblk1 instead. At the end I just created a fat partition for the whole card and I know have my 4GB card back again.

Again sorry if this was covered before, I could not find it with the search function.
[Nook Color Android Development] holgalee:
Thanks for the informative reply! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] nagi603:
It is a gimmick of sorts. It really shows the improvements over the stock 2.1/2.2 BN pack, but yeah, Google got greedy. Unless you are a partner, you won't get the source. Even "little" things like portrait mode in the stock launcher are buggy. Sometimes it works perfectly (the new browser and keyboard are quite a bit better) sometimes it gets sluggish as an adware infested carrier version phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] jaysckap:
I've been using this since release and it runs great yea there's no video but I could deal with that. For an SDK build I couldn't be happier
[Nook Color Android Development] demonofsteel:
Same here, I use honeycomb on eMMC. I know there is some stuff not working like the video and I have some small issues with the market, but it does not bother me that much since I really prefer the Honeycomb UI over any other ROM. I use my Android phone whenever I need to do something that doesn't work perfectly on Honeycomb.
[Nook Color Android Development] nolook:
i really like this rom but also would like flash/video support so i might re-flash to CM7 soon...
[Nook Color Android Development] ocdtrekkie:
I still don't understand why none of the people who are not this thread that know how to make ROMs haven't tried to replicate deeper-blue's work but with the final SDK version. It still wouldn't be AOSP, but it'd be better. Unless nobody knows how to do what deeper blue did.

Apparently its now infinitely more complicated. There's dual boot with SD, various flashable versions. Do you know which build I can just image to my SD card like the original deeper blue version? Like the exact zip file I need to download?

[Nook Color Android Development] ocdtrekkie:
I can't figure out which one of the three or four relevant threads is the one with the download I'm actually looking for, and being immature and rude isn't helpful. The link provided appears to be for flashing to the internal memory, as opposed to an SD boot image I'm looking for, *like the 2/7 version*.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Right now, there is no stand alone SD build of my SDK work. If somebody wants to make one, i welcome them to, but frankly, i don't have the time. Right now, the only official SDK build is for EMMC.
[Nook Color Android Development] ebubar:
Disclaimer: I'm new to all this android stuff. I'm by no means a "power user" and my needs for a tablet can almost be met entirely by the stock NC software. However, I enjoy tinkering and am computer literate enough that I can follow the instructions on here without trouble. My opinions, for what they're worth:

If you want to try this build on an SD card I think the best (only?) bet right now is racks11479. His work is fantastic. Its the dualboot SD of phiremod 6.2 and Divine_Madcat's Honeycomb (V2 I believe). I'm running it on my SD and it works great for my purposes. The biggest downside at the moment is that you can't see the SD card contents from within the Honeycomb partition. That makes life a little less convenient, but a fix is being worked on. If you want to see what Honeycomb is all about from the SD, the dual boot setup from racks is definitely useful as a daily tablet. Check it out!

[Nook Color Android Development] MaliceOmega:
all i have is a 16gb sd available. would this still work with that size sd?
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Try reading the OP.
[Nook Color Android Development] MaliceOmega:
op says-"The unzipped image is around 3.5gb and fits on 4GB SD cards."

i was asking if it has to be. never flashed a nook before just the phones and i was just wondering if it has to be a specific size to read or boot. if i had my hands on it then i would of just tried but i havent purchased yet and wanted to get all the facts straight before i actually put the money toward it.

a simple question calls for a simple answer. smart comments are just wasted post numbers
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
What you are saying doesn't make much sense to me, you don't have a nook yet and are only going to buy one based on the Honeycomb SDK port?

Your question wasn't specific, the image as stated in the op is around 3.5GB, so yes it will fit on your 16GB sd card.

The question of whether it will boot or not is a different question altogether, the answer would be: it depends, the nook doesn't like to boot off of some sd cards, where on others it works fine(I'm speaking from personal experience).
[Nook Color Android Development] MaliceOmega:
well honeycomb on the nook looks to have expanded quite nicely. if it ends up being very buggy then i can always fall back on cm7. and im in the market for a tablet in general but the price point is much easier to swallow than the xoom or the gslate. and i can live without the cameras being that my nexus can do gtalk chat.

and thank you. i have two 16gbs i can try, so hopefully i dont get too unlucky.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
Not to get too much off topic....

HC on the Nook will never be as bug free or stable as CM7 until we have source(i don't think anyone has any delusions about that), which may probably will never happen, instead we'll probably have to wait for Ice Cream Sandwich. That's not to knock the SDK ports, I have HC burned to an SD card and play around with it every once in a while.

CM7 is a daily driver, I like the Nook better than the other tablets I have had a chance to experience, namely the Galaxy Tab and the iPad. The size is perfect for prolonged use in the hand and the speed of the Nook is great, and most importantly the development community is awesome
[Nook Color Android Development] dmbyte:
In regards to source, are we simply needing kernel source? If so, Asus has the kernel source posted for the transformer.
[Nook Color Android Development] joenathane:
I wish it was that easy...

Every device's kernel is specifically built for that device, it contains all the configuration for that devices' unique hardware, so the Nook kernel will only work on the Nook and the Transformer kernel on the Transformer.

In any case we need Honeycomb source, which is the ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] dmbyte:
Fair enough. Didn't know if we were looking for missing kernel hooks or compiled in functionality.

Hi All,

I'm a newbie on NC. I read many post as i could to figure out the step to root and flash the NC into HC.

First i rooted my NC. And install CWM in SD card and flash CM7.1 and it works successful.

But since my NC is shipped with blue dot stick and then i do the re-partition process and then try to flash the nookV4 (by deeper blue) under CWM. But everytime, it prompt "installation aborted"

Is there any step i'm missing, and if anyone can give some hints are much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
[Nook Color Android Development] mythus:
So, there is obviously a lot of pages in this thread, but can someone sum up what is missing or what the issue is compared to the proper rom? I just bought an NC, so I wanted to know whats the problem with this honeycomb version.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thracks:
Tl;dr: The source code for HC has not been released, so it is not possible to create a build native to the hardware of our device.

No source available. This is all you are going to get.
[Nook Color Android Development] Razor1973:
Damn close source Honeycomb! Who knows, we may be looking at an Ice Cream Sandwich port for our Nooks in less than 2 months. Google have come out and promised they are going back to open source with this release. I just hope get get enough developers to keep the ecosystem alive and moving.
[Nook Color Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
If I buy a nook color and put this one it, is this good enough to be a DD without bugs and stuff?
[Nook Color Android Development] danvee:
Having tried it for a few days I'd have to say (in my case) no.

As great a job as was done without source it just didn't cut it as a DD. There were more than a few freeze-ups and many apps were not compatible.

For now (for me) CM7 is the best overall platform.
[Nook Color Android Development] jonrobertd:
I used this for a daily since v2. I lost interest in the nook for a couple of months because of no development due to lack of source.

As a media player, and a few games, it was fine. The incompatibility with most apps drove me away.

Now It has become my laptops replacement, using CM7.

opensource android honeycomb

actually the H sources are released , I did rebuild them for x86 today , so it worth a try

but most pple here are focussing on latest version ICS ...

btw can you report how good is audio support on those previous images ?
[Nook Color Android Development] ZenoGia:
being as though ICS is in alpha stage why not give it a shot. I'm interested in seeing honeycomb if it is done. I care not about anything in alpha stage, besides i am no DEV so i can't possibly help...
[Nook Color Android Development] giovannizero:
ICS isn't in alpha, it's been released on the Galaxy Nexus and partially on the Nexus S. The source is available.
[Nook Color Android Development] zombieflanders:
I think he means that ICS on the NC is an alpha, which is pretty much true. It runs well (if a little slow), but there's a number of things like sound that don't work yet, which is why the devs don't suggest that you install it.

Also, as of 4.0.3, the Nexus S and the original Xoom (which at least in the US is essentially a Nexus tablet) are both fully supported in the AOSP.
[Nook Color Android Development] ZenoGia:
Yes sir! that what i meant :D

I've got another question i have installed HC-v4-emmc, but the touch screen doesn't work at all. I've tried it several times. I have even gone back to stock then redid it but when I did this time and i went to format the /data, /system, and /boot, i kept getting an error while trying to format /data.

I even installed recoveryfix3.0.1.0 to and i can book into CWR without an SD card but it still gives me the same error. I did a search and did some reading about it and it seems that those who bought a recent nook color with firmware 3.2 already installed on it are having the exact issue. Anyone have a clue?

[Noob Alert] Question on SD Card

If I create a partition on the SD card and load bootable honeycomb on it, I can always go back and format the card and use it on another device. Correct?

[Nook Color Android Development] cpdeepak:
Thanks Kreatur3. I was surprised when my 16GB SD Card showed just 100 MB on the NC and when I checked on my computer. I read in another forum that to get it reusable we need to format it on the NC itself.

But I never figured out why it was showing 100 MB on NC with the honeycomb ROM and how to fix it.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
I haven't used this HC image but if it's like the other Nook SD images then the image split the space on your card into multiple partitions but the 100 MB boot partition is the only one formatted with a file system that Windows can recognize. Android requires different file systems for the system partitions so the rest of the image is set up with those.

To completely wipe the card and removing that partitioning, try a program like Easeus Partition Manager
[Nook Color Android Development] scottx .:
I bought a nook just to run this and cm9. Since my infuse is lucky to even have miui.

Thanks so much for ths!
[Nook Color Android Development] cpdeepak:
Thanks for the explanation, boomn. I will try to wipe the card. I am guessing it will wipe out existing cache, data & settings. Correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] Smitelight:
For OCD's sake, that's not entirely accurate. Most of the partitions should be the same Fat32 file system, but they're also all Primary partitions. Windows will only see the first Primary partition while Android doesn't give a flying flip.

[Nook Color Android Development] swaaye:
Honeycomb source came along with ICS, AFAIK. But you really don't want to use any form of Honeycomb at this point. It is basically a raw prototype of ICS - slow, buggy and just not so great. I can run Honeycomb 3.2 on my Archos 80 G9 and that's what I've seen. I do kind of like the look of Honeycomb's UI theme and stock wallpapers though. ;)

Installed the market and Google Framework via the link posted on Page 8.

Fluid animations for the most part, reasonable speeds, if a bit sluggish off a class 4 card.

Great work! Not ready for primetime by any means, but works great for a preview SDK. When the real one drops, there is an awesome shot at getting it implemented within a few weeks.

The internal memory is NOT accessible while you are booted from SDCARD. Also, root explorer won't work until they actually root this build :D
[Nook Color Android Development] slvdc1:
This is what you do:

Navigate to the sdk/tools folder and see if the adb.exe is in there (sometimes the Tools folder is called tools*somethingelse.) Eitherway find which folder the "adb.exe" is in and then shift+right click in that folder, then click on "open command window here". Then you should have access to the adb that way.

Try "adb devices"
