[Nook Color General] Wile-E-Coyote:
This is from faceman over at androidtablets. One of the clearest write-ups of the process that I have seen.

Before beginning:

1. Booted into Recovery

2. Created new nand backup

3. Removed and stored MAIN sd

Using a new and different sd:

1. created 4gb CWR_ext4_0.1 bootable SD [Followed process here: ][RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (+ tasty treats) - xda-developers

2. moved flashable zip of CM7 to SD [edit: now using latest nightly found here: ]CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution

3. moved latest gapps to SD [Found here: Latest Version/Google Apps - CyanogenMod Wiki

4. moved latest Froyo/CM7 overclock kernel to SD [Found here: ][Kernel][Eclair][Froyo][CM7][Honeycomb] Dalingrin's OC kernel [2/18/11] - xda-developers

4. insert into NC

Installing

1. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)

2. 'mounts and storage' --> format /system ; /data ; /cache

3. back to main menu

4. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "latest_CM7_nightly.zip"

5. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip"

6. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "update-1100mhz-froyo_CM7-emmc-cwm.zip" [if desired]

7. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard

8. reboot

First Boot

1. (got chills seeing that little cm7 droid boot animation)

2. @ Welcome to NookColor --> waited full 5 minutes for system to settle (?)

3. tapped Droid to begin setup

4. waited for Notification Bar to show WiFi available --> dragged down to open

5. Selected my router and logged in

6. Used built in 'Back Button' in top right of notification bar to go back to setup

7. @ Set up your Google Account --> signed in

8. @ Market Apps Installer - IMPORTANT: Read This! --> OK

9. @ Choose the apps to install --> preference i guess (gmail and google search were already installed - I added YouTube) --> ok

10. above took me to YouTube install screeen from market, seleceted Install then OK

11. @ Use Google Location --> i uncheck both since it's not a phone --> Next

12. @ Back up data --> i uncheck again --> Next

13. "Your Google Account is now linked to this phone" --> Finish setup

14. now to set time prefferences --> personal preference here (set time zone and current time will adjust) --> Next

15. WOOT! CM7 Home Screen!

16. Open Apps --> Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> Lockscreen --> Style Options --> Lockscreen style --> change to Sliding Tab (this is because the Rotary wheel isn't sized right yet and is real hard to use currently)

17. back @ Settings --> Applications --> check allow for Unknown Sources

18. open Market --> downloaded Titanium Backup

19. Ran batch restore to replace missing user apps

20. Open and tested each user app (some worked, some didn't - but it's early)

First Backup

1. Power off NC

2. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)

3. 'backup and restore' --> 'Backup' (this creates nand backup to the SD card of the installed system)

4. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard

5. reboot

First Nightly Update

1. Download latest nightly (CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution)

2. Place new file onto the bootable ext4 SD

3. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)

4. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "latest_nightly.zip"

5. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "update-1100mhz-froyo_CM7-emmc-cwm.zip" [if needed, at this time the nightly will restore original clock speed]

7. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard

8. reboot

Restoring a nand backup of CM7

1. Power off NC

2. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)

4. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard

5. reboot
