*IF* the stock Nook Library apk works on a Froyo flash - anyone want to provide a link so I can put it back on?

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 found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981167
but it's not for a nook color, however I thought it would work on any device. It fails to install properly on cm7. Is there a way to get back the stock launcher on a nook color?
Just finished the manual nooter process. Downloaded setcpu. Just reead that I need a custom kernal for overclocking? I assume I am still on stock android system because I can still get to the nook home screen....???
Do I copy the overclock .zip to the sd. Boot into CW and install it? If so, anyone have a link to the kernal I need?
Yes just put the file in the root of your SD card boot into cwm and flash the zip. Since you are on stock 1.2 you should he using dals 06302011 stock froyo kernel on emmc. To get it just go to the development sub forum and click the kernel thread posted by Dal.
Ill ask one more question. I want to get n64oid but it wont show up in market. Do i need a froyo rom or is there a different method for making it show up in market?
Um Im not running stock 1.2 so not sure if your talking about the nook market or the android market. But I believe that all the emulators made by the maker of n64oid have been pulled from the market anyways. You can get the app directly from the developer at http://slideme.org/application/n64oid
Trying to download sam app and it says my phone does not allow non market installs. How do i fix this?
Also, when people say the "root" of my phone. Do you mean the sd?
You have to enable nonmarket app installs. It should be under settings ->applicatiins. Then check allow non market installs. I'm not sure how the manual nooter for 1.2 looks like cuz I never used it. You'll have to be at the android home screen not the nook home screen (assuming its similar to 1.1 when I had mine auto nootered.)
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

I installed manualnooter-4-5-18 with no problem. But when I install manualnooter-4-6-16 device gets stuck on colorful Nook Color logo show.
My version is 1.3.
I also need some advice:
1. Isn't it better to use cm-7.2.0-encore instead of original OS? I can't decide.
2. Shouldn't I update to more recent versions of nook software (higher than 1.3) then mod it?
Thank you for software and support

It depends on what you want.
If you are invested in the nook store with lots of purchased apps or want to read interactive kids books, stay with stock. If you stay with stock, upgrade to 1.4.3 (you can get a CWM flashable version by looking in my tips thread linked in my signature) and root with Manual Nooter. I think it is up to 5.08.20.
If you are not invested in stock, definitely go to CM7.2. It is smooth and very stable.

So I decided to go with CM7.2 but
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
says it only works with 1.2. I got the link to wiki from here.
And one technical question, does CM7.2 remove original Nook Color OS completely? If so why its version matters?

Yes, if you install CMx on EMMC it will replace B&N ROM on the device.
That is an old instruction... The reason that method only works with 1.2 is because they have you rooting it and installing CWM on EMMC. By making a bootable SD and installing CMx from there, there is no reason to root the B&N ROM before installation... so you can install it regardless of ROM on you NookColor.

So I just copy the CM into the flash (that I had made it bootable with CWM) and install CM from there. I create a backup using CWM.
