Hi
My nookcolor should be here tomorrow
I am pretty keen on keeping the stock nookcolor rom but trying out Honeycomb by burning it onto a microsd card.
So far the only microsd bootable version of Honeycomb seems to be v4 by deeper-blue which does not have market in it. The 2nd edition of Honeycomb v4 with market seems to be only flashable to the eMMC.
Am I correct or is there an image somewhere for a microsd bootable version of Honeycomb with market on it somewhere?
If so, is ADB the only way of getting market onto it?
Thanks. I have already bought a class 6 Transcend 8GB microSDHC in anticipation of my nookcolor
I installed the v4 image in SD card without market and then put market through ADB. refer to nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market
Its very easy. Once you have market you can install anything.
cheers mate
It's easy to install the OC kernel, root it and then ADB push the Market. The only problem I've had is getting Location Services to work.

It seems like I am becoming the default family Nook Color guy. You know, "can you make mine do that".
So, I now have my NC running Honeycomb off the SD with an OC kernel and gapps installed. It works great.
Is there any way to clone my card so I can have another identical, bootable SD to pop into my brothers NC?
It would be nice to save myself all the adb fun.
Thanks.
Create an image file of your uSD card using WinImage. Then you can write that image file to as many other uSD cards you want.
I haven't tried this myself but I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work.
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.
Hi all
I am running Phiremod 5.3 on my NC am very happy. But I would like to run Honeycomb with GAPPS installed off my SD card. I cannot seem to find an image of HC that has GAPPS installed for the SD card. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

there is a thread on the forum that has honeycomb with gapps for sd card. you have to do a bit of prep work and have a 2nd sd card to do it but i've had it running. It's a bit buggy and my nook runs a bit warm in spots with it. i've chosen to not run it and run nookiecomb instead.
found it.

Thanks for this. That is what I thought on the Gapps.
How does the combo work? What are you dual booting? Is HC even worth the effort?
I am using Phiremod 5.3 and really am very happy. Once he puts the menu bar on the screen bottom this becomes a pretty good tablet OS.

I'm so sorry if this is posted somewhere else but I can't seem to navigate easily through all of these threads! I'm fairly new to a lot of this stuff so I always need the most straight forward directions.
I have the Phiremod & HC v4 dual boot on my SD card but I would like to have ONLY HC v4 on my SD card.
Is there an HC image file only for SD?
I think this may help.

thanks! This should do it
Although it says there is no market app included with it. The Phiremod/HC 4 SD image I have DOES have market and google apps.
Finally got my nook unbricked and updated to 1.2. Now I want to get some real apps not the crap nook apps. So, whats the safest and easiest way to get the market?
Theres alot of app incompatibility with 1.2, so I would reccomend using verygreen's size agnostic sd card utility to make CM7 bootable from the SD card and than use his instructions on flashing the googles apps. heres the link
