So I have Nookie Froyo on my Nook Color and I was wondering if there are anymore ROMs. Is there a place I could find a list of ones I can burn to my sdcard
thanks
Go look in the development forum.

I want to eventually be able to install a custom rom like Cyanogen or whatever on my Nook but I also want to retain the ability read magazines and picturebooks on the Nook.
Does anyone think the 2.1 nook color apps (library, Shop) could be ported to, say, the current 2.2 rom from the dev section?
Hello all,
just got m nook color and don't fully want to mod internal software quite yet and was looking for a bootable sd version of ginger bread like CM& and couldn't find one.
Found the one for honeycomb but not gingerbread.
Anyone know if there is even one for the sd bootable where don't touch internal software.
Thanks again.
Unfortunately at this time there is no SD bootable version of CM7. I am learning how all the stuff works and hope to make one soon but I have no time line for the project as I am not a developer and don't know if I will ultimately have time to make it. If I do get one do look for it in the dev board, but again, no promises and please do not bombard my PMs or the forums with 'when is it coming' messages.
Really, that would by nice. But the bootables have some speed issues.
I am constructing a dualboot rooted Eclair / CM7 gingerbread, based on multipliable thread posts and the work of the great devs here. Some seem to run this daily. I hope I can get it up and running too.
Speed issues aside alot of people, myself included, do not necessarily want to flash their MMC for a variety of reasons but still want to be able to run the neat stuff. I have my NC rooted and tons of stuff installed with no reboot issues and the like so that my main reason for trying to create a CM7 SD.

Is it possible for me to put honeycomb on my nook color? I'm currently running froyo 2.2 with zeam launcher. Can you possibly give me directions on how to install it? Or links that have directions.
Thanks.

It is very possible to get honeycomb, albeit it's really not a daily driver. My suggestion would be to search out the dualboot method and run honeycomb and something else that fits your tastes. Go to the android development thread. Scroll down to any of the rom's running Honeycomb (either the dual boot or the SD card preview image from deeperblue). All of those threads have the directions right there on top. USE SEARCH.

You can run ROMs from either the SD, or from internal...

HI,
A very quick summary to get you started:
The Nook color will boot first from a bootable external uSD card - so it can
be easier to 'try out' different ROMs without worrying about bricking the
device.
The internal flash memory is called 'emmc'.
You can root the stock ROMs, either the 1.01 or the 1.1 versions both are
based on Android 2.1, Eclair. You get Android market access this way and
can continue to use the stock Nook eBook app. There are rumors that
a version of Android 2.2, Froyo, with a B&N market is soon to be available.
Android 2.2, Froyo is available by ROM developers for installing on either
the internal memory or to run from external uSD cards. See for example
Nookie Froyo 6.8 in the developer section.
Android 2.3, GingerBread, is available as a pre-release from the
developers of CyanogenMOD ROMS, it is called CyanogenMOD7. They
release a new version almost every night, termed 'nightlies'. There is
a version for internal emmc or from someone else to run on uSD.
Current (3/23) versions have low frame rate hardware codec video
playback, but seem very stable otherwise. Phiremod makes a ROM
based on CM7.
Android 3.0, HoneyComb, has a very early release, based on
SDK version, not full source code.
To dual boot, see the thread in the developers section.
To overclock, see Dalingrin's kernels in the developer section.
To install new kernels and ROMs, see the ClockworkMOD (CWM) recovery thread
in the developer section.
Running a ROM from uSD can be as easy as downloading an image file,
on a PC, burning the image to uSD with "win32diskimager", then booting the
NC with the uSD inserted!
I am running CM7 nightlies and update when there are significant changes
or perhaps weekly - everything I have wanted to do has been working well.
Phiremod 5.1, based on CM7 is another good place to start.
As the NC has only one bottom button, you will also need some type
of on screen button system or button remapping to the volume buttons.
Most ROMs have something in them. I have liked Button Savior from the
market best.

peter thank you once i receive it i will get started on rooting and if i have any questions may i pm u also is therea freenode chanel?
There are so many NC's topics that got me really confused, I only have a question that I hope someone can give me some advice. I just got me a NC with with firmware 1.2 and I want to be able to multiboot with GingerBread, HoneyComb as well as the NC stock OS, could someone tell me the steps that I need? Thanks in advance.
I would recommend avoiding the HoneyComb builds as they are buggy. We do not have the source code for HC so it will alwys be buggy. As for Gingerbread, I would recommend CM7.1.0, the latest stable build. As many folks here hve detailed the best route to dual boot cm7 and stock, I will refer you to the excellent threads on that topic. I do not run dual boot as cm7 serves all my needs. I have not had the stock firmware on my nook since the second day I had it. Good luck with your new nook and don't forget to have fun.
