I was wondering if anyone has been working on a stock nook software port for a sd card. That would allow us to have both HC and stock nook running together if we wanted it for the stock app. Another thing i was wondering about is if the dual boot emmc hack allows stock boot and hc or froyo to boot as well from one drive

I flashed froyo to my emmc. What im wondering now is if I put the nc stock rom on an external mem card, is it possible to boot THAT from the card and still have access to the b&n store? Basically flip the circumstances around so that I can use froyo internally (which i prefer) and stock externally. Possible?
So I know that the CM7 builds need to be installed on EMMC and that eventually someone may come up with a bootable SD for it; but I got to thinking... would it be possible to port the rooted stock Nook UI to a bootable SD version?
I really want to run CM7, but I have a 1.5 year old and my wife and I love to read him kids books using the Nook. My wife also wants a pretty stock experience when she uses it (since she primarily uses it for books). Any thoughts on this idea?
Check out this thread. Not exactly what you were asking, but you are able to dual boot Eclair and CM7.

I have CM7 running on my NC, but I find that I'd like to read the magazines that I subscribed to (dumbly, without noting that I'd be unable to read them after the transition). One possible solution would be to use an old MicroSD card as a boot point for the stock ROM. Is that possible? Can I put the stock software on an SD card in such a way that it will boot and save state when it's inserted, but will otherwise boot to CM7? I've looked for this... I've seen similar scenarios, but not quite this one. Many thanks in advance, whatever the answer ends up being.
Does the Nook App not work for your magazines?
No, sadly, it doesn't. From everything I can find, only the Nook Color can read them, not the other forms of software such as iOS, Android and PC.
Just do the dual boot option. I have cm7 on partition 1 and stock rooted on partition 2.
Hmmm.... good thought. One question, though... what method do you use to update the CM image? Thanks for the replies... I'm glad there are people that know all the options.
I was wondering what the fastest way to get just simple root on my Nook was. I don't need to flash rom's like Cyanogenmod/Phiremod to Nook internal memory; I'm fine with the vanilla stock Nook UI. I just want to be able to install my own apps and possibly get Market. I don't want to nuke what's currently on the Nook.
What's the simplest way to do this? I have stock software version 1.4.2

Hi,
Just bought a sealed hd+ 32gb and been reading all the threads for a few weeks. I dont want to use the stock nook system but want to run from a 32gb sd card. shall i still run through the stock nook setup where it updates , logsin to b&n account etc??? i though it may help to not allow this as it will update the software to version 2.0.6 automatically , which i understand makes some mods more difficult. I dont want to allow the auto updating of stock b&n software in the future ?
Also can you recommend the easiest instructions to follow to install the most stable CM10 version on an 32gb sandisc 4 sd card?
Any thoughts would be really appreciated Thanks
You probably should go ahead and boot to stock and let it update and register. If you do not want to register, look at my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature for skipping the OOBE. Then any time it tries to boot to stock, it can complete. Updating to 2.0.6 will have no effect on running things from SD.
As far as installing CM10 on SD, you have two choices, install the Original SD or my Hybrid SD. I have easy install guides for both also linked in my signature.

thanks for the quick reply.
Is it possible for b&N to stop the ability to boot from sd card with a software update?

No, unless they change the hardware it will always boot.
