Does anyone know if there is a SD Card runnable image of CM7 for the Nook? I don't want to root my Nook instead I am running the SD Card image OS at boot. I am currently running Honeycomb and while I like it I wanted to try CM7 before I get settled on a base ROM. that said does anyone know if one is available or how I could go about setting one up on my SD card?
Thanks,
Adan
There was talk of one in this thread:

Guess it didn't work or mckooter didn't get to it yet.

I just ordered a Nook Color from eBay with the $50 off... happy yes I am!
I've been with Android since the G1, now I have a droid... how come flashing ROMS and SD cards are so different? You have to put it internally on the Nook instead of on the SD card? Flashing off SD card causes problems? CWR doesn't work? Can anyone explain? It seems much tougher than my droid, just putting the file on my sd card then going to recovery and hitting update, or same with the gTab or Adam.
Unlike most phones, flashing a majority of ROMs (not all) for the NC wipes the Recovery -- ie, wipes it off the device.
So you create a Recovery SD card (the NC auto-boots into it) and then flash ROMs just like you would for a phone. Then take out the SD card when done with Recovery.
It wipes only the recovery correct? Not anything on the sd card? Ill search up how to make partition for recovery sd. Thanks.

Yeah, it'll wipe everything on the NC only, and not touch the SD card.
Here's the thread for creating a 3.0.0.6 Recovery SD Card (needed for CM7 Gingerbread ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959240
See post #19 for detailed instructions.
For FroYo I believe you need to use 3.0.0.5, found elsewhere.
just ordered my NC off ebay too. i'm reading up all i can as fast as i can. coming from an evo where wiping is too easy, this is going to be a bit more complicated, i can't wait!!!
More complicated, maybe, but also much safer since you basically cannot brick an NC... No matter how badly you screw up the internal flash, you can always boot from SD to fix things.
I bought 3 Nook Colors yesterday and rooted every one of them and installed HoneyComb on one, all in less that 2 hours start to finish including downloading images and making the SD card. I made one SD card with CWR with images for the stock ROM, CyanogenMod 7 and HC eMMC v4. It all works flawlessly. This thing really is simple to manipulate. I had more trouble making a gold card and rooting my HTC Inspire!
Well I want to chime in on this too now because I'm new to this as well. What are the advantages/disadvantages of nookie froyo on the sd card vs flashing a rom to the internal?

well sd cards are slow and internal memory(eemc) is fast
if you install froyo/cm7/HC on your eemc it will run much faster vs running from sd card, running from sd card is good though if you want to try out a rom without losing your current setup
alright so i rooted out my nook color and now i would like to get NOOKIE FROYO 2.2 on my device. I have read everything but there is one question that i have that no one seems to put out there. And yes i am new to rooting etc. but rooting was damn easy and looks like loading nookie froyo to sd card is just as easy.
Question (probably dumb) is running the bootable sd card on my already rooted nooko color alright?
2) and it is really as simple as writing the nookie froyo image to the sd card plugging it into the nook and rebooting that simple?

1, as far as I know running roms off sd card is very safe, rooted or not rooted.
2, Yes... burn nookie froyo on sd card then turn on NC.
Yes, running from the SD card is safe.
I second what Pinoy8125 wrote.
1. Running off the SD card is safe and easy even with your interal memory being rooted. Look at it this way, you can try different images just by swapping different sd cards. Try the 6.8, 6.7, HC, etc.
2. Yep, just burn the image onto the SD card. Expand the 4th partition if the image size and the card size differ. This will allow you to recover the lost space. Turn on the Nook and see what you go.
I am getting very nice performance running Froyo 6.8 off of the SD card. I ran into micro sdhc compatibility issues which caused booting as well as performance issues. I have another thread out there on this issues. Awaiting people's feedback on this.

"2. Yep, just burn the image onto the SD card. Expand the 4th partition if the image size and the card size differ. This will allow you to recover the lost space. Turn on the Nook and see what you go."
Now... I need help...how to go about expanding the 4th partition to recover lost space? I don't have a single idea on how to do this. Please explain it in details
simple should my nook be stock before running nookie froy0 from sd card? or will i be fine if i put the nookie froyo sd card in and just reboot?
It shouldn't make any difference to the bootable sd as to what's in the internal memory.

It doesn't matter whether NC is rooted or not. Burn nookie froyo image on SDcard then insert while NC is off then power on. It will boot from the sd card as long as it is in. Remove it from NC to boot on stock rom.
awesome thank you. seemed like a dumb question but i am super paranoid about my electronics.
Any suggested sites for the correct steps for burning img for us mac users?
I already have cm7 on my nook color emmc
buddy wanted a bootable sd card, so i thought i ll grab verygreen image and put latest cm7 on it
the problem is, when i pop in the card, nothing happens
it boots cm7 from my nook
it thinks that everything is already installed so it doesnt even ask me to install anything on sd card
am i going crazy?

If you don't tell us how how you did it we can't offer any suggestions....
Guys,
I'm running CM7 on SD Card on my Nook Color 1.4.2 with my Stock ROM in place which boots my stock Nook Color without with the SD Card.
Everything has been running fine without any issues; I kinda wanted to test out the new flavors and try out the latest CM9 on SD Card and see how that works. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a straightforward guide/thread that explains how to install CM9 on SD Card.
I used the Verygreen CM7 SD Card thread which had very good details on how to install the CM7 on SD Card, along with the files required and everything. Isn't there something similar for CM9 on SD Card instead?
Thanks!
Just put the CM9 install files on the boot partition instead of the CM7 files.

You do it exactly the same way you did on CM7. But you really need to upgrade your image. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature for more information why you need to and how to do it.
Thanks for the response guys!! It worked!! I'm now running CM9 Ice Cream Sandwich on SD Card on my Nook Color. This is awesome!!

Get the ics rom in the links in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23164909
And to install it on an SD, follow the guide here:
http://taosaur.blogspot.com/2011/09/running-cyanogenmod-7-from-sd-nook.html
Just substitute CM9 wherever it says CM7. And you need to use the ics version of gapps. Get them here :
