I just flashed froyo on my emmc with CWR. Everything works great. But im not sure how to get market and Gapps on there. I see threads on how but they say there for froyo on SD. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

As titled, after I flashed cm6 to my Hero I reported, etc, and I notice the market is gone. Is this normal? I can't be expected to survive without it, can I?
I'm hoping that I can recover it with a nandroid restore, but I wanted to have Froyo for more than 5 minutes.
Is there any way to add the market to this? I understand that its a system file (i read somewhere). Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I see now... was supposed to flash GAPS file that was hidden in the small print.

I'm currently running phiremodv3. No problems with the install. I'm aware that you have to use EXT4 to flash this ROM as well as CM7. I was curious if I was able to still run the nookiefroyo build found here:
NookieFroyo
My concern is that my internals are on EXT4. Is this a worry or can I just download the file and burn it to my sd and load from there?
Thanks for looking, this place is great.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
The ROM you mentioned completely re-images your EMMC at the block level, I believe. Whatever filesystem you started with won't be there afterwards.
Thanks for the reply. Anyone else have anything that might calm my nerves a little more?
Don't sweat it too much. I came from CM7 to Nookie and had no trouble. As already stated this rom completely erases the internal memory. I had a problem with the market not working but got it fixed following this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11626645&postcount=425
good luck
So I have tried this a number of times. When I try to install Nookie Froyo to the EMMC using CWM 3.0.0.5, I keep getting Installation Aborted. I had flashed it back to stock 1.0.1 to start over but no dice. Then it hit me. Dummy, I didn't re-root.
So, flashed - yet again - back to stock 1.0.1. Used B&N's ROM to update to 1.1.0. Used Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 to root it. Then created a bootable CWM with the Nookie Froyo zip file on it. I really thought I was going to have it this time but once again, Installation Aborted.
So far, the only ROM I have been able to install with CWM is the original stock 1.0.1. Piece of cake there. I have been using the same Nookie Froyo from my other SD card I have, absolutely love it which is why I want to get it on my EMMC so I can free up the card.
Any ideas? I am scratching my head. Been at it for 2 nights.
If you're trying to flash a ROM that is intended to be bootable from SD to eMMC THAT'S your issue. You need to use an eMMC ROM zip file. From what you're saying it sounds like you're not.

I wish it was that easy. I've been careful in following directions so I definitely have the file that is meant to be flashed to the EMMC - nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip. As opposed to this file - nookie-froyo-0.6.8.SDCARD.2GB.custom.3.zip - which I unzipped and used the resulting image file to create a bootable SD.
I appreciate the response though.
I am new to this stuff and I have read and re-read the volumes of posts and instructions. I am floored by the talent of the Developers and am infinitely grateful for all the efforts! Tried multiple searches to see if someone was having the same problems and have come across those that would get the Installation Aborted message within CWM but they were able to figure it out. Unfortunately, none of their solutions helped. Argh.
I know there were issues with CWM versions before 3.0.1 and B&N software version 1.1. I was on B&N 1.1, rooted, installed CWM 3.0.0.5, but I couldn't make a backup. So I searched around and found some info saying that those two software versions didn't get along. After I upgraded CWM to 3.0.1, everything works as it should, maybe that's your issue as well. I hadn't tried flashing anything through CWM 3.0.0.5 before upgrading it though, but it's worth a shot.
Now THAT sounds promising! I did try 3.0.1.0 but not since I flashed it back to stock, installed 1.1.0 and re-rooted. Thanks much for this bit of info. I will try this tonight.
I don't feel so dumb now.
Just to experience success, you could just try to flash from this image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200
Burn the image to SD card, insert into NookColor, follow instructions to flash.
Worked perfect for me and I had a completely stock NookColor 1.1.

Oh, boy. Back to feeling dumb. For some reason I made the assumption I had to flash CWM then copy the zip file to the the SD card. If I followed Brian's instructions to begin with, I would have saved myself a ton of time. Ah, well.
So I got Nookie Froyo flashed to my EMMC but there are some differences to the SD card version. So after all that, I am back to my SD card installation. i know Brian is working on another EMMC version that sounds like the SD card install. At least now I know what I am doing.
I do appreciate the help, all.
FWIW, I tried, albeit very briefly, the same nookie froyo that you're using, and I found that I like CM7 a lot more. Now that you got your issues ironed out, you might want to give it a shot and see how you like it. There's a good write-up about installing and maintaining a CM7 rom over on androidtablets.net.
Hello, just picked up my NC. Messed around a little bit, got it to root fine, running Froyo off my SD. Want to get CM7, was thinking of going the phiremod route.
I'm a little bit confused with the CW version and ext4 compatibility. I'm just a little worried cuz I ended up in a CW boot loop when i tried flashing Froyo to internal mem. But I think its cuz i had flashed the old recovery? Anyway, got back to stock and upgraded/re-rooted.
So can i just go from Rooted 1.1 to burning a bootable clockwork 3.0.1 on to my SD card? Then flash a ROM and Gapps?
The bootable SD card thread says something about the partition needing to be ext4, which is what's freaking me out. Is there a kernel to flash before? am i skipping an entire step here?
Thanks for any feedback

Thats what I did and it worked perfectly. Phiremod has gapps and market built in.

Hi,
I found this post a very useful and detailed description of installing CM7 on internal
memory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151
It includes the steps for formatting required for CM7.
Don't forget that you will need a uSD for 'data' after as well as the one for installing.
Hope this helps!

I have been lurking and reading for a couple of weeks now. I bought a used NC with 1.1 and used Autonooter to root it. Works great.
I bought a second NC which had the 1.2 s/w on it. I used the manualnooter process to root it. That works pretty well.
Now I'm thinking about getting into the nightly CM7 game. I'm wondering is there anything I need to watch out for with the 2 NC's I have if I do this. Do I have to take them back to stock? Can I just follow the CM7 instructions?
Any insight and guidance would be appreciated
50 views and no replies. If you read this and can help I would really appreciate some info. I'm reluctant to proceed until I hear from someone who has traveled the road before. Thanks
You can run CM7, stable or nightly, off of an SD card. You don't have to change anything on your Nooks to do this. In fact, they don't even need to be rooted. Running CM7 on the SD card will not change anything on the built-in memory of the Nook.
Look for the "size agnostic" thread, follow the directions, and you're good to go.
ps. I enjoy your music.
yeah, just follow the instructions on flashing cm7 for the first time. and make sure you understand the CWM instructions. you may want to try a stable rom for now. there are lots of battery and kernel issues right now with the nightly builds. but not to fear the devs are working hard to fix them. just stay with the stable's and your be fine. I hope this was helpful...

is this the one you mean?

Well, I went ahead figuring "How hard could it be anyway?".
I did the nand backup with CWM 3.0.2.8
I then ran ROM manager V4.2.0.2 from internal memory.
I choose the option that allows me to download ROMS.
I chose CyanogenMod, and then chose 7.0.3.
I downloaded the ROM
I then chose Install ROM from SD card
It asked me about clearing caches, etc and I chose the default values already checked.
It installed without errors.
I rebooted and it got to the last part of the boot process where the word "color" is rapidly changing and stayed there indefinitely,
I rebooted with CWM on the SD card and tried to reinstall the Manualnooter I loaded on this NC a week ago.
Rebooted. Still hung up.
I copied my nand backup to the CWN SD card and chose restore.
It booted back to my manualnooter install successfully.
So I'm successfully back where I started.
Can someone help me understand what I did wrong on what I need to do to make it work? Thanks
Not sure what went wrong, but I would also suggest trying verygreen's size-agnostic approach. You keep your manual nooter and can run CM7 from an SD card to see if you want to go all the way and remove the stock BN software.

Or, if you want to go crazy, you could try racks' dual boot SD card image of Phiremod 6.2 (a variation of CM7) and Honeycomb. That's what I'm using and Phiremod works great (aside from battery life ) and honeycomb is just plain slick to use.

I loaded CM7 7.0.2 stable and was able to get it going. Thanks
