PC Users:

- The usual program for this, Win32DiskImager, isn't working with this large file. So download WinImage, and under 'Disk' choose "Restore Virtual Image to Physical Drive." Change the files shown at the bottom to "all files" and select the file.

I was getting the not enough space error. I was using the built in sd slot on my notebook but when I tried a usb reader it worked fine. Hope it helps someone

Can't Unzip the Image on Windows or Linux

Please help!! I can't even get to Burning the Image as it refuses to Extract at all from the Zip file. Besides I use Linux so I don't need WinImage.
[Nook Color Android Development] dhoshman:
Please help Mac users.

1. Downloaded zip

2. Unarchived zip

3. Wrote image to 8gb class 6 card (Never goes to the next step after dd if=nookhoney.img of=/dev/disk# even after 30min, just hangs until I quit terminal and eject my card reader. Then pops up boot and sd card.

4. Pop into nook gets stuck in nook color boot screen and just repeats the "nook color" splash over and over and over.

Am I applying this right Ive tried to downloaded from diff sources and still get the same results. Im also assuming that were using the same instructions from the nook devs page on writing the auto nooter to sd card right. Any help would be super appreciated guys because Im feeling like a real dumb ass right now. You guys are awesome.

Well never mind guess it worked this time. Wow im blown away
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
Ok I found a Post that said to use WinRAR and it seems to be working. To save People the Pain I'm going to ReZip the IMG and Upload it so people don't have to be as inconvinienced as I was. I'll update when I have it up.

Update1: I'm Zipping it right now. I'm using a High Compression Ratio so it's easier for me to upload. It may be slow to Unzip but it should be more Compatible with Most Archive Programs. I'm using 7zip so I know it can Open it. I'll also test it with WinZip.
[Nook Color Android Development] iconoclastnet:
This should be totally easy from Linux.

$ sudo aptitude install unzip # if you don't already have it
$ unzip nookhoney01.img.zip
$ dd if=nookhoney01.img of=/dev/sdb # adjust for the appropriate sd device

That worked for me anyway (from Ubuntu).
[Nook Color Android Development] kaicherry:
Erm...I'm on a mac.

very simple. I think the problem here is your lack of patience; it takes awhile to do this, that's all.

Here is what i did. Put the card in. it shows up in the Finder. Good so far.

Open a term. Then do:

diskutil list

You'll see your sd card as /dev/disk#s# (diskNumberSliceNumber. it is BSD-ish parlance)

you want to then do:

diskutil unmount <name of sdcard>

then:

sudo dd if=<honeycomb image> of=/dev/disk#

Type in an admin password. At this point...go out. Put on a movie. Watch something on hulu. Have sex with you girl/boy/hand/vibrating egg/whatever.

It will take "awhile" depending on several factors...but the point is, if you are "lusting for results" it will take 20mins longer than you want, at least.

When it is done (on my sd dongle thingee, the light stopped flashing. I don't know when, I went out with my wife, then came home and...you get the idea..) the termy will return to the the prompt.

That is really all there is to it. No tricks. Been rockin the Honey for hours and Hours.

It is no iOS, but I will say this: the new hires are a lot more clueful and it isn't too shabby an experience. I expect in a week it will be quite nice.

I will apologize in advance because I do not know who to credit this to, I was cutting and pasting how-to a lot of the day so my time at home would be more effective. It was still a PITA because I didn't have all of the various software (free downloads) needed, had never used them and didn't know what I was doing - my fault.

Anyway, I followed this and it works perfectly..eventually

this thread is helpful too

I am running HC but when I hook my NC up to my laptop it will not install and can not find the $#%$#%$ drivers. grrrrrrr.

I have rebooted the NC and that did not help. So I am not able to run any adb commands and get the Market installed.

Any advice?

Never mind - found the link, the post, etc re: how to fix this. Crossing my fingers it will work soon so I can go to bed and play with this tomorrow :)

Google Apps / Flash - Working and Not Working

I pushed it to \system\app but I can not get it work correctly. I did check permissions, and it shows as installed after a reboot. Will work more with this.

All files are from the HDPI or GB gapps newest releases on http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/

WORKING:

Also working when pushed to system\app and setting permissions:

Google Market - googleservicesframework.apk, vending.apk

Contact Sync - googlecontactssyncadapter.apk, go in setting --> account --> check sync contacts

Google talk - talk.apk

Google Maps - maps.apk

NOT WORKING:

Youtube - installs, opens, loads, no sound (obviously) or video

[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Well, there are some options off the top of my head to "save" /data and/or any new apps you may have added to /system--

1. Use a 2nd SD card. Then copy /data/* from SD Card #1 to the new one, preserving ownership/permissions. (That's easier than copying both /boot and /system from the new to the old)

2. you'll never do this, but if you know the data offset of each of the partitions (below), you can dd just the part you want from the .img to the SD card. I am not going to be specific about this because it's hard and may lead to bad things.

3. Or if you have linux, you can mount the partitions individually to a mount point and transfer files from there. You'd use mount -o loop,offset= and probably -t fstype as well.

Offsets for nookhoney01:

nookhoney.img1 * 63 240974 120456 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
nookhoney.img2 240975 2233034 996030 83 Linux
nookhoney.img3 2233035 4144769 955867+ 83 Linux
nookhoney.img4 4144770 7229249 1542240 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[02:16]Those are /boot, /system, /data & /sdcard

nookhoney02 is probably the same. So if you wanted to mount boot from the image:

$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/boot
$ sudo mount -o loop,offset=$((63*512)) -t vfat nookhoney02.img /mnt/boot
$ sudo cp -parv /mnt/boot/* /path/to/sdcard/boot

The -parv above is to preserve permissions/ownership and is unnecessary for vfat, but I include it as a reminder that you'll need it if you're copying to /system or /data.

I haven't tried this and advise you not to try any of this unless you know what you're doing, and understand that you do so fully at your own risk. Really.

(thx to [mbm] for the partition offsets)

[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
You can just use WinImage to install it onto a 4GB card, it will error out around 90% but it will be usable.
[Nook Color Android Development] dehidding:
Knowing all the trouble there was with V01, I downloaded V02, installed the market and Gapps, upped the LCD Density to 150, and resized the SD partition smaller so that Win32DiskImager would work (ED - did not work since the image is the whole disk, not just the partitions), recompressed with 7zip, and made a new torrent:

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6145223

Use EASEUS Partition Manager to resize the SD partition to your SD card (4, 8, 16 Gb) after you burn the image.

Finally got a chance to try this out last night. I was very, very, very impressed. I was impressed to the point that I wondered why Google didn't release something like this when they first put Android out. It makes regular Android look bad and totally distinguishes it from iOS as well. It's slick. The UI is unique, but very easy to navigate and very smooth looking. Obviously it's not a daily driver at this point, but as a proof of concept, it is really, really, really nice.

mac and 4g card

I'm snowed in here in Chicago, so running to the store for an 8g card isn't an option -- I only have a 4g. I really want to try this out.

Downloaded v2, dd'd it to my 4g and got the predicted "end of device" error. Unlike other people who found that they still have a bootable card, mine won't boot. I'm guessing this had to do with them using an imaging prog and me using dd (I'm on a mac and/or linux).

So anyone get this working with a 4g card using dd?

Or, alternatively, does anyone have an idea of how to resize the sdcard part on the image so that it burns fully? Resize procedure would need to be mac/linux.

Thanks for helpin a bro get some honeycomb lovin'!

I might be wrong, but I suspect it's a "feature" however borked. To make a research a tidbit deeper, one may want to go to "Settings", then try to play with different visual "effects" corresponding to the finger "touch" event registered. If there are different options, it might make sense to try them and see whether a red border goes away.

I am using 2a. With the market already installed on it. Not running the 1.1 OC of yet.

Something else to note as well, is the excessive battery drain. I am getting a reading of about 1.5hrs on a full charge.
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
If you mean can you resize the SDcard partition, yes you can but you have to use a tool like EASEUS Partition Master. It is free for home use.

I suggest if you are going to play with something like NH, download some version of Ubuntu and dual boot your PC. Learn to embrace the command line. It really is the only way to understand what is going on. I am by no means an expert, but some knowledge of Ubuntu helps when working with these types of file systems.

Would the battery drain be due to the overclocked kernel with no ability to drop the speed due to lack of root or are you suspecting another process that may be draining the battery.
