What I mean is I install the most recent HC build RC2 and it boots fine, I can login to google services and everything seems to run fine except the occasional slowdown but when I power the device off and back on it never gets past the small "Android" blue label in the bottom left of the screen, I assume it has crashed and after waiting about 10 min to make sure that it has crashed the only way to get it back into HC is to re-install the build and start over, I'm guessing I'm the only one with this problem though since there are no other posts about it, any ideas?

Thanks for all your hard work

-Tsukisan
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Gotcha, thanks for all the hard work!
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Hint hint :)

( It is not looking like there will be another revision today beyond RC3 )
[Nook Color Android Development] Arbelzapf:
Looking forward to that image. That will surely solve the issues I'm having. I guess I can wait until then (and until you upload RC3)
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Actually a false alarm.

There was a glitch on my end, I downloaded it today, and it matched your MD5.

Installed the RC2 version from your OP on SD and here are some notes for future installers:

- The language is "Catalan" (Barcelona) so go to translate.google.com to get through the setup procedure.

- Once you get through setup, tap the Apps in the upper right, and start "Custom Locale" and you can select whatever language you want (US EN in my case, yours may be something else).

- Wifi works and Market works.

- Use the Market to download a free File Explorer (such as ES File Explorer) in install any apps you may already have on the SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Glad you got it working. And actually. On initial setup. You can choose whatever language you want. Just tap on where it says "Catalan" and a menu will popup for you to choose a language.

Updates tonight. :)

Thanks,

Racks

Racks - when I boot to eMMC, is there a way I can point Root Explorer to the SD card's system and data folders (IIRC, partitions 2 and 3) ?

I would like to be able to edit some files in the Honeycomb install, like buildprop, without actually running it at the same time.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Sure.

1-You would first need to goto Root Explorer and mount the filesystem as R/W.

2-Now open up a terminal emulator of choice. I prefer Better Terminal Emulator Pro. Or you can use the free one as well.

3-Run the following commands:

$ su
# mkdir /mnt/hcsys
# mkdir /mnt/hcdata
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/hcsys
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /mnt/hcdata

4-Now goto Root Explorer and open up the directory /mnt and you should see /hcsys and /hcdata

5-You can now browse through the honeycombs /system and /data from there.

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Bump...

Sorry for the long wait everyone, check OP for the following:

-CM7.0.3 Stable

-CM7 Nightly 68

-Madcat Honeycomb RC3 (This will only format /system) **Thanks to "patgnds" confirming its working!**

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] patgnds:
Honeycomb RC3 is working, am now installing apps.

Thanks for your hard work.

Awesome! Thanks for the confirmation! I'll remove the warning from OP then. :D

[Nook Color Android Development] Techienana:
RC3 says it will format system and data, but only formats system and all data is intact. Just running it immediately without trying to solve issues: Seems snappier, screen still freezes, YouTube FCs (nothing new there), some apps that didn't FC on rc2 now FC, but I am going to uninstall and reinstall and report back. So far, so good.

Update: All the apps that I had installed with rc2 are working in rc3. I wiped cache and cleared Davlik cache and reinstalled so I wouldn't have to go through reinstalling balky apps. Checked every single app on my NC and basically they are all working except for YouTube and a couple of NI apps. There still appear to be some freezing issues with the home screen but they are livable. I just use the app switcher to go into an app and when I come back out, I can use the home screen again.

I have two NCs and am going to stick with this build as my daily on this one while I am using Dalingrin's 2.6.32 on the other. Couldn't be happier!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Doh! :eek:

Forgot to edit out /data in the edify script. Should only say "Formatting /system" only. It only formats system. Data stays intact.
[Nook Color Android Development] TDO:
Any chance of a 2.6.32 Beta image for SD?
[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
with 1.2 uboot... for smooth video playback
[Nook Color Android Development] Techienana:
I am running 2.6.32 on Racks' size agnostic SD card image. Runs beautifully! It installs just like a nightly. Stock is 1.2.
[Nook Color Android Development] rhester72:
Not for nothing, but how?

I haven't tried it, but from what I've read about Racks' solution, you have to have a custom-prepped ROM image from him for each build (whereas the verygreen solution actually modifies the eMMC images on-the-fly).

I haven't seen any 2.6.32 builds for Racks' image, at least on the first (updated) post, so how did you achieve this? Are you *sure* you're running on SD? ;)

Rodney
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I think you meant verygreens size agnostic SD. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] GadgetFreak:
Okay, I give. Where do I find the CWM image?

[Nook Color Android Development] schaan383:
Hey, is there any reason that your guide wouldn't work with stock 1.2? I've followed your instructions to the letter, but each time I get to the end, I get stuck with the bottom of the screen flashing "ANDROID_" over and over. When I try booting normally, the eMMC is corrupted, and I end up having to go back into recovery to flash stock again. Any advice?
[Nook Color Android Development] coliny59:
I pretty much get the instructions but i do have one concern. If i create verygreen's CM7 image, i have read posts that were complaining about not having access to the rest of the SD card capacity (for cards that were over 2GB). How can i correct this (if it's even a problem) if i only have a Windows 7 PC? Also, will I even be able to see the partition after inserting it into my PC? I currently have a laptop that has a built-in SD card reader.
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
You have 2 options, if you are at all familiar with Linux I would recommend you download, burn and use an Ubuntu live cd, it is the most fool proof way to expand the 4th partition (/sdcard) of your sd card. The alternative would be to just use a windows app, for that I would recommend Easeus partition manager as it will get the job done, just doesn't have as many options but should work for your need and is free from their site.
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Hey racks, phiremod 6.3 is out if you havent seen it yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Yep, prepping now, will update OP tomorrow with download.

And sorry for leaving this thread behind a little bit, just so much to keep up! :eek:

For future CM7 updates, I would prefer you guys to now use Verygreens method, as it doesn't require any modded zips to flash the latest nightlies.

Although I will still try my best to keep this thread up to date as well. :)

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
Thanks for the update racks, you have been doing a lot lately, it has been hard for me to keep away from this tread, although Verygreens method works I like the feel of a rooted standard android device, i.e. flashing with CWM rather than the somewhat rudimentary method Verygreens uses. Just feels more official this way, wish the two of you could come together and incorporate the Verygreen method into CWM so you could all but leave this method behind. Again though, thanks for all the hard work, I look forward to checking XDA each day for updates from you and this thread in particular.

Latest Phiremod Nook 6.3 Update up..

Check OP.

For changelog check Phiremod's Thread here...

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] MajTom:
I understand how a simple idea can really use up a lot of time to maintain. Thank you for your hard work making this work so great! LikeTsukisan, I would love to see some kind of collaboration between you and Verygreen. Verygreen's automatic file mod, and everything else, what you've done! Your work does have everything that makes it a class to itself. Maybe it'll happen, maybe not. And if not, maybe some info on what you changed in the zips so someone else can carry on. Anyway, thanks!

Q. about dual-boot CWM

racks, I have a size-agnostic VeryGreen SD card with a nightly CM7 flashed onto it. can i flash your dual-boot CWM onto it? i suppose not... so how do i use your dual-boot CWM and with which rom?

thanks for your work in making the flashing of roms easier. i suspect you made your life harder in the process with having to provide so many updates. major props to you in maintaining this thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] coliny59:
I have got the dual boot (phiremod + HC) on uSD working. However, I have a problem where battery goes from 100% to 90% in 10 minutes. I currently have 1.2 and didn't have a chance to MN. I have tried to clear battery stats through the CW recovery. In addition I try to run the battery calibration utility but get the following message: "The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Then a message pops up "Root your device first!" Do I need to MN? I thought one of the reasons that uSD is good was that you didn't need to root the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
No you shouldn't need to root your stock rom to run any rom off SD. I'm not sure what the error is, never had the issue, but I'll try and replicate it on my end and see if I get the same error.

At Last!

Greetings,

After 3 long nites of reading and troubleshooting I finally got Phiremod 6.3 working on the SD card just now.

It sure was helpful to have an iMac running Windows 7 on Parallels to drag the files to the 4th partition because the iMac instantly found the partition when the SD card was inserted.

I re-sized the 4th partition using this free app: MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition.

Also, Root Manager is a must have to edit the file from auto to 4.

Also, helpful was using my HTC Thunderbolt to mount the CM7 SD card and edit that file from auto to 4 using Root Manager. Only tough part was getting that damn Seidio Innocase II off my Thunderbolt!

Runs very smooth...much smoother than stock 1.2 on emmc.

Everything checked out except for the md5 sum for Phiremod 6.3 on the OP.

The OP reads:

Update 5/31: v6.3 Update(This will format /system only): multiupload.com/5NRXXEPS6N

MD5 - 17c2d5322c2674fe85bd279934dc6830

My winMd5Sum program read:

MD5 - 59b6bf3a12c664b6663efa74b77c659a

Now, I'm worried. Can you please reaffirm your MD5?

Also, I see the last post here is from the end of May, where has everyone gone? Am I missing something?

Thanks to ALL for the awesome posts, especially Racks!

CWM 3.2.0.1 bootable SD moded for SD card resident OS?

Will this version work with a Nookie Froyo partitioned SD card?

Ideally, I'd like to have the recovery uRecImg + uRecRam

be the CWR 3.2.0.1 on the Nookie Froyo card.

I already have a CWM 3.2.0.1 sd card that targets emmc.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Nowhere really, just haven't been able to update lately because of real life work! Dang work! :)

Regarding the MD5 for 6.3 update. I don't have the original zip on my computer anymore, but I'll download and double check the MD5 and post later on tonight.

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
If you modified the recovery.fstab to mount the mmcblk1 partitions yourself and repacked the uRecRam accordingly then it shouldn't be an issue and work with any SDcard rom.

Phiremod's V7

Phiremod's new test build. This is a test build based on Encore Nightly 101. This Nightly also includes the new 1.2 U-Boot. There are countless other changes and updates to the guts of the ROM.. but most users report overall better battery life, plus

* Built from Nightly 101

* Android 2.3.4

* Stock Kernel

* Updated Theme

* No more Mail’d app

* Gapps now in separate customized .zip

* Includes Battery Calibration

* Removed CM Specific Apps

* New sound scheme

* Other changes

What do we have to do to get this on an SDcard? Currently I am using Verygreen's [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards with nightly 99, USB host kernel for USB keyboards and fat 32 drives, IMEI generator for HBO Go. I know I would have to do some reinstalls to get USB host kernel and IMEI working again. I would love to use phiremod-nook-v7-TEST.zip with v1.3 Size-agnostic installer. I have a new 8GB Sandisk SDcard waiting to backup my current modified nightly 99 SDcard and update to phiremod test build.

Edit: There is also phiremod-nook-gapps.zip to install plus a launcher pro backup.
[Nook Color Android Development] fuzzynco:
So to update the uRecRam I have to install the

whole cross compile tool chain, recompile

the uBoot.bin to get the imager, and then

create the shell script to use it rebuild

the file?

*sigh*

Doesn't your version for CM7 also re-point

to the SD card partitions? What I want is

to do nandroid backups of the /boot

/system and /data partitions to the

4th partition. I guess I could do DD's

from ADB's shell, but CWR seems easier.

I have Nookie Froyo, so my partitions

are p1=FAT32, p2=EXT2, p3=EXT3

and p4=FAT32.

Thanks

I wish there was an official release

that supported SD card based ROMs.

For both ROM Manager and CWR.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Yeah, you could use my uRecImg and uRecRam from this thread. It's in the OP. Dualboot CWM SD.zip download it and extract the files to the /boot partition of your SDcard rom and boot into recovery on SD. I believe the version is 3.0.5.0. But it should do a nandroid backup of your NookieFroyo SDcard rom without a problem.

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Well you should be able to use Verygreen's installer to update with Phiremod's v7 Test .zip. I'm just not sure how large the /boot partition is with Verygreens installer. Since Phiredrop adds his custom Tweaks to the original CM7. His zips are much larger than the original. But if it does fit, just remember to rename the zip to have "update" in the filename I believe. Not sure, just check VG's OP.

Or you can wait a bit and I'll be prepping a flashable .zip tonight for the tweaked rom and the gapps as well for SD. :)

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Thanks for the reply.

I am going to try update-phiremod-nook-v7-TEST.zip. Writing the backup image as I type. His gapps zip is probably tweated as well. Since Verygreen's installer will keep my nightly 99 version of the gapps, I should try to rename his gapp zip with update- prefix and reflash them out there as well? Would do you think?

Edit1: Verygreen's boot is 115 MB. To copy update--phiremod-nook-v7-TEST.zip is says I need 21.9 MB more. Could I use Easeus Partiton manage on window's 7 to make it bigger or do I need just to wait til tonight? Is there anything I could remove to get the space?
[Nook Color Android Development] coliny59:
Hi racks,

Appreciate you looking into the battery calibration issue.

I was wondering also, if I am having touch sensitivity issues is this normal? there are times that I'll have to either tap more than once, or it'll be waaaay off from where my finger lands. When i use it for longer periods of time (about an hour or so) they touch screen just goes haywire. In addition, I've noticed that youtube will act abnormally too. Is this more of a phiremod 6.2 issue or the fact that I'm running off of an SD?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Any news about flashable .zip for Phiremod's v7 Test .zip?

[Solved] CWR for SD card bootable Nookie Froyo

It was 3.0.1.0, but seems to have generated the 3 img & MD5 ok.

Sorry for the delay with the Phiremod v7-Test Update. Well it's up! Check OP and please read the update info!!

Call me an idiot, but I cant seem to get the V7 zip to update the Phiremod 6.2 SD img file I originally burned to a separate card. I don't want to risk the eemc setup, and I must be having a brain freeze because I can't remeber how to make this update work on my SD. :confused:

As I understand it, I am supposed to burn CWM to one SD, boot it, and then insert the SD I have Phiremod 6.2 on, use CWM to find the 7.0 zip file, and then do "update".

My problem is getting the update on the original 6.2 card. What am I forgetting??

Thanks,

RRII
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
No need to burn a seperate card. What you could do is just download the CWM SD Dualboot 0.1.zip in the OP. Extract the .zip and copy the uRecRam and uRecImg over to your SDcard rom /boot partition. Then reboot into recovery from there and follow directions to flash the latest Phiremod v7-Test Build

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] redraider II:
Racks,

Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit more confused now, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

"Download the CWM SD dualboot 0.1 zip in the OP"

The link takes me to this image file: 128mb_CM7_SD_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img.zip

http://www.multiupload.com/I3N3J18DAX

So I am not sure where to take the URecRam and URecImg files from.

As for getting the update to the SD, is it the fourth partition thing? Is that what I will need to do?

Sorry for the questions. I have done this before (and messed up the SD afterward), but apparently got there by accident the first time. :D

RRII
[Nook Color Android Development] redraider II:
Got it installed - but wont boot

Racks,

OK, I was able to get the dualboot zip files over to the nook with 6.2 Phiremod on the SD. I installed both the dualboot 7 zip and then the gapps zip files in CWM, and when I reboot, it hangs at a black screen. I get to the bootloader and am able to choose eemc or SD, so the hang is after that. It sits there and doesn't do anything.

Should I start from scratch on the SD?

RRII
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Sorry, I though I updated that the .zip was borked. There was an error in the edify script. I've fixed it, just need to upload. But my upload speed at home is very, very, very slow. So I'll upload when I get to work tomorrow sometime. Again, I apologize for anyone that flashed the package zip and borked your install.

Appreciate your understanding,

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Would this work, burn your CWM to one SD, boot it, remove it, and then mount a copy of the verygreen's SD I have Nightly 108 with OC 061811 on, use CWM to find the your phiremod-nook-v7-TEST-SD-CWM-package.zip file that I put on partition 4 of Nightly 108, and then install it.

Continue on with these instructions from OP

"-Reboot when done

-It will prompt with 2 different options on startup, choose "Setup Wizard"

-For some reason it won't get past that, even when touching the Android guy, to get around this touch all 4 corners of the nook screen starting with:

1. top left hand corner..."
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Yes. It should work. Im hoping that you already did a backup of your original Nighlty SD setup in case you want to revert back.

[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I have an img of my Nightly SD plus an actual SDcard with 108 on it. It did work, now the process of tweaking the settings, using TB to get back applications, and adding other app, music, video, and etc.

Thanks a million, could not have done it without you and all the developers. I will be sure to give thanks. Larry

One questions how do I move Dal's latest kernel 061811 over?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Gonna give you the same reply I just gave in my Dualboot-SDrom thread. :)

Easy breezy! Just download the latest OC kernel from Dalingrin's thread. Just make sure you download the SD flashable zip and not the EMMC. And flash via the CWM-SD as you did with the rom. Then download Dalingrin's Nook Tweaks app from Market. Just make sure you don't set on 'boot', just in case your nook candle handle the extreme awesomeness of dalingrins' kernel. :D

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] Wifflepig:
I have an off-the-wall question, Racks. With your modded CWM boot loader - am I only able to flash packages that you've tweaked for your bootloader, or can I build things with UOT Kitchen and flash them as well? I seem to be reading I can't grab some latest nightly of something and flash away - that it needs to be manipulated first.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
What you are saying is, use your CWM that I burned to one SD, boot it, remove it, and then mount my phiremod-nook-v7-TEST SDcard, use CWM to find the update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-061811.zip file that I earlier put on partition 4 of phiremod-nook-v7-TEST SDcard, and now install it. Reboot when done.

Sideload Dalingrin's NookColorTweaks.apk contained in this post (after install appears as Nook Tweaks 1.2)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14992831&postcount=297

Don't set speeds on 'boot' until you know that they work. (this version can enable usb as well for hubs, keyboards, and other usb devices plus has Boot Settings options). In the next post we get the added bonus of using a powered usb hub for flash drives and other fat 32 drives. NookColorTweaks.apk usb drive feature is designed for automatic mount and systems modifications in an upcoming commit 7.1 while phiremod's v7 Test is based on nightly 101 and we will need to do usb drives manually.

Edit: I have the usb keyboard working, flash drive loading with Dal's OC and sideloaded Nook Tweaks 1.2. Flash drive covered in next post. To make everything work lauch Nook Tweaks and turn usb host mode on.
