Great work but how do I get the eMMC .4 V2 zip on my CWR sd card?? In windows, it only mounts the 117mb boot drive. In puppy linux - it still only mounts that section but recognizes the card has ~3.8 gb of free space.

Could anyone provide me the linux shell commands to mount the partition I need then copy over the zip file?

Also - just loaded the CWR from my SD card and tried to Format System. Received error:

"ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6

Formatting /system...

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Error formatting /system!"

Is there something I need to do in the Nook OS to make this work? Also I am on the stock Nook OS and haven't upgraded anything.. is that OK?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
Did you create the bootable CWR SD card as instructed in the OP? If so, then you have a few files in there to start with, as the instructions will tell you that the SD card will be completely wiped. Then, if you are using Windows, simply take the 4.0, 2nd ed. .zip file from the OP and copy to SD card.

Boot the NC with the SD card, then follow the rest of the instructions from the OP.

I am using a 2Gb card and everything fits on there nicely (with room for a full backup even).

PM me if you are still having trouble, if you want.
[Nook Color Android Development] j0ckinjz:
This version is meant to be flashed to your internal memory using clockwork.

If you want the bootable SD version than go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936995

If you are trying to flash to internal memory then this is what you have to do:

Burn the clockwork img to SD card.

Copy Honeycomb zip to SD card (using copy and paste)

Format System, data, and boot

Flash Zip

^something along those lines.

Your problem with formatting the system is probably because you didn't unmount it system.
[Nook Color Android Development] 360Razir:
No need to format "Boot"...just System, Data, Cache if you are wanting to do a clean install.
[Nook Color Android Development] no more blinking:
I appreciate both of your feedback. Yes, I am putting HC on my internal memory.

Actually the issue was with my SDCard... all I needed to do was format the card myself before flashing the 4gb CWR image. Now everything works fine... thanks for your help!

Bought a nook color, rooted and flashed honeycomb in about 20 minutes, went very smooth. Honeycomb runs very well, all things considered, but its not snappy at all. I might try cm with status bar mod in a few days.

Hi guys,

So my install went well, but have wifi issues like some. Something I found weird is that when I connect to a WiFi signal (Router), I get all sorts of network errors and cannot do anything (download apps, browse web, etc). However, when I connect to my WiFi tethered device (Eris using Wifi Tether) I have no problems. I tried a few other devices (Droid X, Incredible, and Droid 2)and also had success. It seems that with Ad-Hoc, it works great, but with any wifi router, it craps. Just wondered if anyone else noticed this or maybe had an idea why this happens. Thanks.

I may be wrong, but graphics scrolling and scaling in the browser and pulse reader seem remarkably smoother with density in build.prop set at 130 than others that I've tried (150, 140, 133, 125).

You might want to try an alternative launcher such as zeam. I found the HC launcher to be a nightmare but with zeam everything runs very smoothly and you get most of the best features of the HC UI :)

Low on space - Can I get an Android OS file system tutorial?

Greetings,

I've been running this ROM for a while now, as a daily driver. Other than going back to the dismal battery life, I've very pleased. Most issues I've had have been self induced. Trying a ton of apps, monkeying with settings, etc.

In the last week, while trying to resolve an issue, I've re installed the ROM twice. Now I'm getting the 'Low on Space' error.

In my initial installation, I only had .92GB on the internal as well, but it seemed like there was no end to the amount of apps I could install. Even though it showed storage all used up, it seemed to expand if I added more apps, and never gave me a low space error.

Now I've got about half of what I used to, and I can no longer download, even after moving everything I can to the SD card, and cleaning up all the caches.

I have the EASEUS PM, but don't see anything to extend. When I look at mounted system, etc partitions, they are all empty, or it asks me to 'format' before use.

Does anyone have any idea where all the leftover garbage from previous installs is being held and how I can get rid of it?

Can anyone tell me what and where the HC file sytem should be, or point me at documentation?

Has anyone successfully extended their HC partition past .92GB?

TIA
[Nook Color Android Development] BroDroid:
@mnmicheal I've been using this as my daily driver for awhile now, and I've been getting about 12 hrs on a charge. Angry birds, words with friends, web surfing, texting (google voice), checking different forums. I think I use it alot. what are others getting for battery life?

ANY IDEAS??
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
If you were trying to flash the second edition zip, you should not have formatted boot. (Lots of info on the OP to read through). If you can't boot you will need to flash the boot repair zip in OP. Sounds like you will have to burn cwr image on an sd to get there if you haven't already.

has anyone got the latest swype to install? it now supports the nook resolution and installs fine but does everything but 'swyping'?

[Nook Color Android Development] yamanote:
What's the best way to update from the 1st edition to the 2nd edition? Can i just replace the 1st edition's ZIP with the 2nd edition's ZIP in my bootable microSD, clear cache and install the new version, or will I have to completely wipe system/data/boot all over again?

Thanks!

EDIT: OK so I just wiped system/data/cache/boot and flashed the update.

Just two questions now:

1) is it just me or is the opening of the app menu more jittery now?

2) how can I make the Search thing (top left corner in Home) go back to the default Honeycomb search (dark interface, left for web results and right for phone search results) rather than the white Android 2.x list interface?

EDIT2: to answer my own question- installing Google Search from the mkt solves that issue.

EDIT3: One last thing: can I flash phiremod for nook (based on CM7) using the internal CWR?

EDIT4: Ok so I couldn't boot into CWR at all- just went into a bootloop. Boot-repaired the nook with the repair zip in OP, flashed the phiremod rom and oc kernel and I'm happy now.

EDIT5: What i typed in Edit4 was merely theoretical. Realistically, i get stuck after repairing and flashing the phiremod rom. Anyone..? Is there an easy/better way of going back to stock or another rom?
[Nook Color Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
I was wondering... now that we have CWM 3.0.1.0 which supports ext4 is there a reason that the flash-able zip for this ROM can't be made to use the 3.0.1.0 internal recovery instead of installing the hacked up 3.0.0.6 version that this currently uses?

I would think that now that CWM supports ext4 there should be no need for the hack.

I have tried to simply remove the hacked CWM from the ROM as well as replacing the CWM in the ROM with the latest, but i can never get it to boot.

Any thoughts? Is this even possible? I'd love to do it myself if i could maybe have a pointer or two.

Lastly: AWESOME WORK ON THIS SAM!!! Even though it's a preview SDK Build (I'd love to see this build done with the FINAL SDK... Heck for that matter, I'd love to make the final SDK build...But that's over my head a bit at the moment or maybe it's not(a point in the right direction here too would be great!)). If it weren't for the fact that Aldiko likes to cut off a bunch of the text in every eBook i try (When running HC) I'd run this ROM as my DD all day long. Anyway thanks again for all the hard work.

I hope to hear back soon. Sorry if i was a bit long winded, but any insight into any of the things mentioned in this post would be phenomenal!
[Nook Color Android Development] j0ckinjz:
i think cwm 3.0.1.0 supports EXT4 but doesnt actually have it built in, and you have to replace a file like uRecImg. If you do that, it may work with it.... i have no idea.
[Nook Color Android Development] BroDroid:
I used the boot utility that came with this rom, to boot into CWR. However the screen went black, and it didn't boot into CWR. I tried the power and the vol down combo with nothing happening. I've tried the power and N button at the same time, with same result, nothing happening. I had 80% charge when I tried to boot into recovery. Has anyone else seen this, or know what I could do to remedy this.

[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
I had the exact same issue. I thought clockwork may have remained on emmc when I flashed the rom, but it must have erased it. I had to burn clockwork to an sd card and let it reboot to the card. My thought was that the utility instructed the nook to boot into recovery and that is what it was looking for (my thoughts only). Anyway, the card did the trick. Hope this helps.

Edit: This happened several weeks back and I do recall having to reflash the rom. All is well.

EMMC Recovery Repair Zip

I noticed a recovery repair zip link added to the OP (link below). If I flashed this with my cwr SD card internally, would it stick with this rom. I am not looking to change roms, just like having clockwork running internally.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11437545&postcount=1

Update: I flashed the recovery zip mentioned in the OP and have Clockwork internally. This rom works the same with the change. I backed it up for later use. Off to try CM with honeycomb features. Looking forward to more 3.0 work in the future. Thanks Sam.

Has anyone notice that in DHCP the nook using HC has the same system ID android_1947f05c92eeb106 it's not a big deal however, I seen this when I was trying to setup rules on my firewall for VPN access on one and ttorrent on another. I am up to 5 nooks now and loving each and every one of them even if one is hard to plug in the usb cable.

Does anyone know if development for the 1.2ghz kernel been worked on or any dsp support?

if it was not for that I would not have CM7 on a sd, HC is just so much better overall.

Will this enable two-way syncing? My calendar has been working great on the nook, and when I add/edit an event on my computer it syncs to the nook but anything I do on the nook does not sync back to the server.

Has anyone else had this problem? I tried putting googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk in my system/app folder, but when I try to install it fails.

By the way - amazing work samuelhalff!! Thank you so much! Just about everything is working for me. :) And I am really grateful to deeper blue as well. What a great community!!

cannot explore honeycomb nook as a drive

Ever since I flashed honeycomb on my nook color (which I love by the way), I cannot explore it as a drive or explore my sd card when I plug it into my computer. The drivers seem to be there and it shows the drives, but when I click on them it just says please insert a disk.

Has anyone else had this issue, and anyone know how to explore the drives and transfer data over usb?

Found two-way syncing solution for google calendar

The only way so far that I can get two-way syncing is with an app I just downloaded - SnapCal.

It has worked really well and I even like the interface. I am going to keep using this and see if it continues to function properly.

It seems that many nexus s users complained about having problems with two way syncing unless they entered a new even in the default calendar. (And it seems that the honeycomb nook operates like the nexus s). With SnapCal I can add events with any of my google calendars and they sync to the server.

So far so good!

Calendar & Calendar Syncing Fix

2 way Calendar syncing on this HC version (and others) have been posted in numerous spots throughout XDA and this forum.

But I'll be nice and provide a quick breakdown:

(This is assuming you are rooted AND are able to connect via ADB. If neither are true, do a search on XDA or PM me.)

Copy the files within HoneyGCalInstall.zip to the directory C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Open the DOS prompt/Terminal window, and type "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" [enter]

Then type "HoneyGCalInstall"

It does its thing and you'll get calendar back and syncing correctly!

I've flashed dozens and dozens of times on many devices. Since I tried this I can't get anything to boot, CM7 or the stock 1.0.1. I've been at it for days and this is the first android ive had issues with. I used the "fix" at the bottom of the original post. Still nothing. Please help me? I am about to return it to B&N which I really don't want to do since my car mount is now permanently attached to the back of my nook. I can't get a damn thing to boot on it now.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
What exactly are you getting? I am guessing the little blue andriod_ in the corner?

The newer CM7.1 RC1 and any of the nightly's from about 100 on have a new uboot for the .32 kernel. Burn a bootable CWR SD card and throw one of those on, format /boot /system /cache

I think that would do the trick.
[Nook Color Android Development] darkrom:
Currently after trying to flash back to STOCK B&N 1.0.1 I am getting up to the N and it'll hang there. I've formatted /boot /system and /cache a million times. I do have a bootable CWR SD, and that will boot, but it seems like nothing I do from there will allow me to get a working boot without SD. Frustrating! The NC was going to get ghost armored in about an hour. Lets see if there is any way to fix this?

I have been trying to flash 114 nightly CM7. Same thing. Stops at cyanogenmod, never makes it to the boot animation.

Is it possible to restore a nandroid backup from someone else's device? I broke the golden rule and didnt make a nandroid backup, only because I wanted to start fresh. Foolish I suppose, but I really didn't expect issues. I flash daily on my thunderbolt, and quite often on the NC. The first problem I've ever had occurred only after flashing honeycomb :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
Can you get in CWR from your Nook without the SD (Power-N)? If not, throw this [RecoveryFix_3.0.1.0] on your SD card, flash and it should fix that.

If you can get into CWR from your Nook without an SD, then if you want to get back to stock and keep CWM capabilities. D/L this [update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed] http://db.tt/1LUsgRO

I'm assuming you have Titanium Backup's of all apps/data you wanted to keep. Because at this point who knows what is on your eMMC partitions, make sure you wipe ALL partitions : boot, system,data,cache,davlik before flashing this time. 7.1RC1 will replace uboot
[Nook Color Android Development] darkrom:
I'll try this when I get out of work, even though I'm fairly confident I've done all this. No I can't boot to CWR without the SD, but I don't think I ever have before. I have no backups in titanium, but there is nothing I wanna backup, just wanna start fresh like I bought it today. I've been trying to install B&N stock software, even if I need to root again. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try all that again soon, but I really think I've done that. Even flashing the 1.0.1 stock won't boot fully. I'm at the point where I'd be thrilled to have a stock unrooted nook color just so I can start over. I don't mind doing the work to get back to CM7, but currently I can't get any rom to boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ronin3178:
That dropbox file will take you to b&n stock 1.2 with the cwr still working.
[Nook Color Android Development] darkrom:
How do you boot to CWR once the fix is flashed? So far the only way it'll boot to CWR for me is from SD card still.

I also have flashed CM7 RC1. Boot logo, but freezes before boot animation.

B&N 1.2 freezes at the N

B&N 1.1 freezes at the N.

HC 3.0 on NC alive and well

I took the plunge a few days ago and installed HC 3 (the rom from this thread) and started tweaking. I've taken some screen shots and posted a description of my setup on this thread.

The device is stable and works fine. My SD card works, all apps install and work fine, and the only quirks are easily worked around. I can't really use it for video although Youtube works (but not HD vids and not directly from within the youtube app).

So if there's any doubt that Honeycomb is flaky/unstable, I'd argue that it's not hard to create a fairly stable device that performs slightly slow in some ways but perfectly workable. Tablets and tablet apps are a huge step up from traditional Android and I wouldn't go back to CM7 or portrait-based apps on such a relatively large device.

Here's the main screenshot - I've focused on making it a living room and home theatre device so the main apps focus on that, with the other screens giving me social networking, news + media, games + tools, and work/office.
