Been working on this all day now. I've tried the various versions of the image in this thread and the other gingerbread version. I've tried different kernels and blowing away and re-flashing the SD card over and over again and always I end up back at the android with a flashing curser

Any more ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

So I've found the missing unresolved _mktemp error is a known problem when not building the special extras superuser su as explained by proceedure here;

http://howto.ccroms.net/android_project/build/mod/root

Does anyone have the latest ASOP already setup and thus can perhaps quickly make the change in the link to build the static executable to solve the unresolved _mktemp error so we can root these installs and get further in testing?
[Nook Color Android Development] bit1:
Thank you sooo much! Can this step be stickied on the first post? i was going crazy trying to use my card. i guess the link nookdevs had before led to the older version. thanks again

Same here, I wrote and rewrote and rewrote the image to the sd card so I know that it is not partially corrupt. I am using a PNY 8GB class 4 and it is being a stubborn little *****, won't get past the damned Android screen. And I ran out after work yesterday to buy the nook just for this! Blah.
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
Once i gained root, i updated su via SuperUser got the same error. found a new copy of su in /system/bin removed it, regained root
[Nook Color Android Development] rdubbs007:
Any more help here would be much appreciated. This sucks.
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
I Know, But issue is same when building a 2.2.1 or 2.3, so just needed a fresh built recent that has _mktemp resolved...
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
What file do we push? The link in the text above says page not available.
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
THANX! that's the third (and oldest build date) 'su' version I'd tried and it's the winner... just don't let superuser app update it to latest or you end up back with _mktemp error...

Im also using a PNY 8gb class for card and this image of Honeycomb works great for me. I'm usiing win32diskimager 0.2 r23 on windows 7 x64 professional and have not had a single issue.

There are of course issues with running 3.0 and various apps, but considering the state of the build, thats to be expected. However, the installation is very easy and the NC itself is a dream!
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
That zip only has 1 file in it. I thought it had the apk to is it not needed? I know I sound like a noob but I just want root access
[Nook Color Android Development] ictguy78:
Now that I'm rooted, there really isn't any reason why this can't be my daily driver. SWEET! Thanks to all of the intelligent people on here who know how to get things working.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Its not bad, but i really don't see this becoming anyone's daily quite yet. There are still too many random crashes and reboots, and things like the flashing red box are a huge distraction. Heck, if i am not careful,i can get it to reboot just on the lockscreen.

What I am hopeful to see, is when AOSP gets updated with 3.0, that we will have natively compiled, stable builds.
[Nook Color Android Development] rdubbs007:
Cool thanks I am giving this another go with win32diskimager .2 if the latest winimage burn gives me the same results.... might be a problem with winimage not working correctly, idk.
[Nook Color Android Development] rdubbs007:
That option of using win32diskimager .2 seems to have failed as well. Boots to the ANDROID _ screen and hangs with the blinking cursor. Am I supposed to wait awhile on first boot? How long is too long before it is clear that the damn thing just isnt taking the image?

I am at my fracking wits' end here, it blows ass that I can't run honeycomb, the entire reason I bought the damn thing. Froyo will have to do for now I suppose until HC becomes more stable and actually bootable. Thanks to deeper blue for his efforts.
[Nook Color Android Development] volwrath:
My Transcend 4gb card did the same thing with froyo. I had to use another microsd. I suspect that is your problem as well. Evidently some microsds dont work. I have a 4gb transcend class6 that did not work for froyo, yet my 8gb transcend class 6 worked for froyo. Meanwhile my 4gb card worked for Monster Rootpak CWR.

Havent made it to honoeycomb, although suspect i will this weekend
[Nook Color Android Development] rdubbs007:
That was what I was afraid of. Damn.
[Nook Color Android Development] ta2025:
Is it possible you have a bad microSD card? and are you letting the the computer release it after writing to it?
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
I just adb install the Superuser.apk from my 2.2 or 2.1 setup but need to use this 'su' with it not the old one installed with the Superuser by any of the one click rooting tools...
[Nook Color Android Development] ta2025:
Try the SDCard Formatter that is referenced in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939346
[Nook Color Android Development] rdubbs007:
No I am using it fine with nookie froyo... and I didnt have to eject the card for the froyo to work so I would logically conclude that it is not necessary for HC either. I did it once though, and still ran into the boot screen hang.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
So long as you wait until windows stops writing to it then no data should be lost regardless of using "safely remove hardware". The only thing I can suggest besides trying another SD card is just rewriting the image. I had that problem and rewriting it fixed it. (The first rewrite actually ended up partially working, the home button wouldn't work, but the second time it worked flawlessly)
[Nook Color Android Development] wpnyc2009:
stole my thunder...

Good luck m8!
[Nook Color Android Development] rdubbs007:
Yeah I am pretty sure I have rewritten it at least 10 times now. And on top of this I just noticed a yellowish tint in one of the corners of the screen, so I will be going in to exchange RETURN it later on.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Does this have the latest adobe flash?
[Nook Color Android Development] nmhusa:
To get rid of the flashing red box go to Apps/Dev Tools/Development Settings/Strict Mode visual Indicator and turn it "off"

Cheers
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
altho you/we have root, SuperUser is not really working, however i have tried a couple of root access apps and they seem to be working even tho superuser is not other are not like rommanager
[Nook Color Android Development] hharte:
The su.zip at magicandroidapps.com only has the su binary. It was done a long time ago for the HTC Magic, but it works on many devices. There is no Superuser Whitelist needed with this su, it just grants superuser access to whatever runs it, so it is more "dangerous" than using Superuser Whitelist, but it works.

Anyone else notice after installing certain apps or making changes that the wallpaper/background on the launcher cuts off at the bottom in portrait mode? (just black above the status bar).
[Nook Color Android Development] gamer.pro.2000:
Hopefully B&N won't try to be jerks and kill this off. They just pulled their stock of Nook Colors, supposedly to develop an anti-rooting technique. Your move B&N.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Thankfully that rumor is now proven false:

http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/sou...ed-due-to-inventory-software-bug-not-hackers/

So lets work on not passing that rumor around anymore. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] nebke:
Thanks so much d.b., This worked pretty well on my Class 2 SanDisk 16gb. It did take about 25 min to write to the SD though (Mac OS), so for anyone who is reading the wiki and seeing 'about 10 min,' don't be surprised to be waiting a lot longer.

Question to anyone who knows better...If this is the preview SDK, does the project need to be started all over when the full SDK is released or do they just replace the gaps?
[Nook Color Android Development] ta2025:
You would return what is shaping up to be the most solid, yet least expensive Android 3.0 tablet available? It certainly isn't going to happen over night and a faulty microSD card is not the Nook Color's fault.
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
I think he meant he's going to return the MicroSD card, not the Nook Color?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Question, does the Nook Color have a legitimate touch screen(aka 5-10 touch point recognition)?
[Nook Color Android Development] Vid.:
I've started a page listing which apps work (and which don't AND WHY) at http://nookdevs.com/Honyecomb_App_List. Please add your experiences w/apps
[Nook Color Android Development] deshwasi:
do i need to do anything do have adb install to SD on this honeycomb?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
This device, like almost every other android device out there, natively supports 2 points. I have to admit, maybe my android is rusty, but i can't think of many shipping devices whose kernel has more than 2 touches activated. Yeah, i have a hacked kernel running on my incredible, but by default, not, it did not have it.

As it is, it supports two, and i don't think that will change until much bigger issues like fully featured ROMs have been sorted out.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
I mean the hardware, and I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the kernel thing, because multi touch has been supported in android for a long time now.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
No, i am right about the kernel thing; i know, because i went through beta kernels released for my incredible that enabled 3-5 point touch. Yes, android supports it, but that is irrelevant if the drivers (as compiled in the kernel) do not. Again, i can't think of many phones who have 3-5 point touch enabled.

As for the hardware.. not a clue
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Hmm, interesting. I know I've seen the LG optimus line demonstrating 3 point inputs.
[Nook Color Android Development] deshwasi:
anyone has slingplayer working on this? if yes, which version is it?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Your point? I said i haven't seen many.. i didn't say none, or that it was impossible.

Anyway, as it is (lets get this thread back on track), no, the NC does not currently support more than two, and until proven otherwise, will never do so, even with Honeycomb.
[Nook Color Android Development] Link3737:
HTC is notorious for their bad touchscreens, though. Samsung's Galaxy S line has 5 point multitouch, as does the LG Optimus, Droid X, and I think HTC just recently started making phones with true multitouch (MyTouch 4G and G2).
[Nook Color Android Development] ictguy78:
Has anyone gotten far enough in the Nook Android App to actually read a book? I can sync my library, download books, even get to the chapter/table of contents....but when I try to actually open the book I just get a spinner with a white screen. It spins forever and nothing happens.

I'd be interested to hear from those who have actually been able to read a book with the Nook app on HC.
[Nook Color Android Development] the0verseer:
I am experiencing some of the same issues with the market not downloading apps with 2gb class 4 card and a 4gb class 4 card. It would be nice to be able to install items with the market installer, but adb will suffice for now until things stabilize. Great work on this build! Keep it up!

Does anyone know what kind of a performance increase could be achieved with a 16gb class 10 card? Newegg has some good deals.

PS I saw the disclaimer, however stock adhoc would be nice. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
Yea the img comes out to 4gb but you know when sdcard/hdd are formatted it takes a bit away so the cards really only 3.69gb

easy fix with shrinking a partition in the Honey img, like getting the extra space on Nookie Froyo, just cant do it since i cant get it on anything :P

I got it to work. But the SD card won't recognize...

Anyone have a fix for the Win32 Disk Util problem? I can't use Winrar 64bit since i'm running win7 32bit...
[Nook Color Android Development] t3hjonneh:
Works great for me! Win7 64bit. Extracted via Winrar and then wrote using win32diskimager (Make sure you run this as administrator.)
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
Make sure you run it as administrator, I had the same issue so I downloaded a newer version of winimage app and it asked for admin rights. I ran the old one as admin and it worked fine
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
I extracted if fine using winrar. Burning to a 4gb sdcard right now will report back if it does/doesn't work. I'm using winimage to burn the image instead of win32discimager
[Nook Color Android Development] kekspernikai:
Very awesome, thanks so much OP! Definitely gonna try this out later.
[Nook Color Android Development] ranova:
So I take it that theres a lot of dummy files in the image? 4gb compressed to 400mb doesnt happen unless there is. Wonder if its strippable to fit on a 2gb or less?
[Nook Color Android Development] htcimagio:

[Nook Color Android Development] cevans59:
I noticed that partition 4 (/sdcard) is 1.5 gig, it should be possible to shrink this down some and create a new smaller img file hopefully solving the Windows issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Its probably just the partition on the end that makes it 4gb
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
can we install the google apps from the froyo how to? This would be great with google apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
I just tried and now it boot loops. It gets to the screen where you need to touch the android image, once you touch it or a couple seconds go by it goes back to the flashing android screen :( We might have to wait till we can get the newer google apps off a real 3.0 device
[Nook Color Android Development] TKEMerph:
Need some help, trying to burn the image on to a 4gig card which is 3.69gb... How is everyone getting it to fit on a 4gig card??
[Nook Color Android Development] t3hjonneh:
I had an actual 8gb. Hopefully someone can get the 4th partition resized for 4gb.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
According to this page you can install the market. http://forum.androidcentral.com/barnes-noble-nook-color/57500-how-download-install-honeycomb-nook-color.html

Here is what it says. The links to the market apk and framework are in the link above

Installing the Android Market on the Nook Color running Honeycomb:

1. Download this version of the Market (2.2.11).

2. Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

3. Place the files in your adb tools folder

4. Open a command prompt in that folder, and issue the following commands:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

adb push Vending.apk system/app/Vending.apk

adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

adb shell

cd system/app

chmod 6755 Vending.apk

chmod 6755 GoogleServicesFramework.apk

exit

adb reboot

Then go to apps, open the market, sign in. If the Market won't open at first, reboot and try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
There's probably an easier way, but I did this:

(0. rip SD image from 8gb card for backup)

1. Burn the img to an 8gb card.

2. use EASEUS Partition Master to resize the /sdcard/ partition to something smaller (like 1gb instead of 1.5 gb)

3. use WinImage to Create an virtual hard disk file (dynamically expandable!)

4. Take out 8GB card, write previous image to 4GB card

5. Profit?

(6. Re-write backed up SD card to 8gb card)
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
Think most are using something bigger, best bet is to wait for a nice person to shrink the sd partition 400mbs or so then upload that image for us 4gb sd people :P
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
We are not :(
[Nook Color Android Development] A. Nonymous:
Just to clarify for the idiot that I am, you flash this image to an SD card and boot off that SD card right? No changes are made to any data on the device?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
I wasn't making a point, just commenting.

How is this not on topic btw?

Related to Nook: Check

Related to Honeycomb: Check

They've already shown three point support in the demos, so It'd probably be prudent to make sure there's multi point support on the nook.

edit: It supports 4 points of multitouch.
[Nook Color Android Development] Xephik:
As an Incredible owner I can verify this. For the longest time we had 2 point multitouch until I believe it was InvisibleK that released a kernel that enabled 10 point. Its at the kernel level.

And ill end this post on-topic by stating that this thing is barely usable for me beyond supplying some eye candy. I'm not knocking on the dev, however, because its a miracle that this thing even boots. I'm grateful for the taste of Honeycomb ^.^
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
The now typical on capacative screens 2 point multi-touch works just fine on the Nook in all 3 versions (2.1, 2.2, 3.0)... 2 point is needed for pinch to zoom, and squeeze rotate stuff in newest maps... you can use the Apps->Dev Tools->Pointer Location test tool... you can see 3rd point currently negates first 2 being identified which seems to be the behavior I kept encountering when mistakenly holding pad with one hand where thumb cane in contact with edge of screen and messing up what I thought were clean touches with my other hand :>)
[Nook Color Android Development] A. Nonymous:
I agree with you completely that this ROM is not anywhere close to being a daily driver. That's not a knock on the dev either as I don't think anyone is pimping it as a daily driver. I see it more as a proof of concept than anything. It shows that Honeycomb can run on the NC and it shows off some of the capabilities of the OS.

Will not fit on a 4 GB card

I tried it -- no go. Will not fit on a 4 GB card. Need 8 GB minimum.

I picked one up for 20 bucks at radio shack. You could find better deals on-line if you don't mind waiting.
[Nook Color Android Development] Admiralvic:
Im running the 2 gig on (in the other thread) and its solid enough to enjoy it. If you really just want a taste of honeycomb its more than enough

[Nook Color Android Development] kellybrf:
im stuck on this too. it was booting fine by itself, but then i tried to push the market/services and its now stuck at this screen. any help?

edit: so i just decided to start over and reimaged my sd card. again, booted into hc fine, but this time when im trying to push the apks it tells me the system is read only. after running the adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system command i get Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
[Nook Color Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
so it will always run on SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] ChrisJ951:
I'm not entirely sure on this (hopefully someone with a little more knowledge will comment) but without root privileges you can't remount the system as r/w. Theres a thread on how to get access to root or you can always adb install.
[Nook Color Android Development] A. Nonymous:
At some point, it will be flashable I'll bet.

Booting from the SD card (it hasn't yet..)

I downloaded the Honecomb image and used the win32diskimage to burn the image file to a new 8gb sd card. That part went perfectly, so I thought I was good to go.

However, when my Nook boots up it doesn't boot from the card, only goes to the normal boot process to the standard 1.10 version, etc. A pop-up appears that says the SD card is not recognized and needs to be formatted, but maybe that's to be expected.

So, is there something that needs to be done before sticking the SD card into the nook? Do I need to have rooted it some way first...or something else..maybe a step I missed to tell it to boot from the card?

I read through at least half the posts and am under the impression that it should boot from the card, and that if I removed the card and rebooted it would go back to the original 1.10. If I'm mistaken and someone can give me the right steps, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

JTT

A Children's Book

So Many Zeroes!

Blue had his V2, all shiny and GNU, and wanted to send it, but stopped to review.

"What would this ware weigh, if zipped up today? Should it not be much larger than the SDK?"

And yet it was bigger (nearly one-half a gigger!), but Blue still released it with vim and with vigor.

"A drive is a drive, at any old size! But a drive is alive when its zero'ed to thrive!"

So Blue packered his tracks with a /dev/zero-whacker. And then that blue cracker, he launched his bittracker...

And he ripped, and he zipped (but he didn't encrypt), until it was scripted, and that's when he shipped it!

It was plain to see-- that his brand-new V3-- was shiny and tiny and better. Whoopie!

In fact the whole thing was down to 180. A number of megs that was far, far less weighty.

And now when the Rommers all rom their romses, and now when the Singers all sing their songses,

their image of Blue will be bigger and taller,

and installers they image will be *many* megs smaller.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
dd'ing as we speak, will update when I get this baby up and running. Amazing work blue.

edit: Does this self compiled kernel mean that the 1100mhz oc kernel by dalingrin won't be compatible?

edit: All of the features that were bothering me are now fixed, the only problem now is, when installing root, I get all the way down to setting the permissions on su, then after I try and run a chmod 06755 /system/bin/su command I get a "chmod failed too many symbolic links" error. Im almost positive this isnt user error as I have installed root on v02 and v02a multiple times without fail and attempted twice and v03, both times to no avail. Any ideas for a workaround?

edit: If on v3, use Seeddemons method of installing root on page 3 of the installing root on Honeycomb thread, that method works.
