first, i would like to thank the people who continously makes everything possible. i got my nook rooted to 1.0.1 and overclocked to 1.1ghz and work smooth. added a launcher and it seem fine. however, i saw in the nook tools that there is this 1GB phone storage or so it seem aside from the 5gb storage.i know that the nook has 8gb in it and part of it is used in its system. now my question is could we INSTALL AND RUN applications in the SDcard?i noticed everytime i install an apk it directly affects the 1GB internal storage. is there a way to the latter? ive already searched the Nook forum here and could not find anything about it.Thanks in advance

In default Android versions running apps from SD (apps2sd) was added in versions 2.2/FroYo and thus why you see with the stock shipped 2.1 version all apps instll and run from the internal memory... in our current 2.2 Custom version apps2sd is working but I choose to only run 2.2 completely from fast (class 10) sdcard and at least for now keep the stock 2.1 available on the internal memory, but there are instructions to run the 2.2 from internal memory for the adventerous now...
oh, so that explains it. ok, thank you! for now ill be sticking to the 2.1 stock rom with zeam until i get feedbacks from the new stock 1.1 update. one last question, is BN 1.1 update already the froyo 2.2?
Does anyone know how to test if a bootable sdcard with nookie honeycomb actually works before you test it out on the nook color? thnx
btw i used the process that was on this site http://theunlockr.com/2011/02/07/how-to-load-honeycomb-android-3-0-on-the-nook-color-usd-method/
Not sure why you need to test it before putting it in the nook. If you're worried about doing any harm to the nook it's really not possible. Just put the card in and try to boot. If it doesn't boot take the card out and boot up normally, no harm no foul.

I second this. By default, all the Main Roms for Nookie Froyo and Nookie Honeycomb have no features enabled that will touch your Nook Color. The only thing it touches on the NC is the Cache Partition in order to prevent too many writes to the SD and to also speed things up. Anything done there won't screw up your NC in a Million years and Switching back to Stock and doing a few things will wipe any evidence. Or if really paranoid you can Flash back to Factory to ensure all is wiped.

thnx u guys, But i have another problem. i succesfully installed the honeycomb and got it to work on the nook color. But when I go to my computer with the sd card plugged in, it says that i only have 115 mb of data on the card. I have an 8 gb card. It's not left on the card, it says 115 mb out of 115 mb of data, even after i deleted everything. Anybody know how to restore it back to the 8 gb data amount thnxx
NookColor Format and partition your SD card back to a usable state
Opinion
Since the OP seems to have been answered, I'd like to piggy back a bit
Been doing some reading on the forums and I have started to vision myself getting in to the nook color honeycomb idea.
But a few questions first...
How well has it worked for anyone who has tried, is it a daily driver yet or too many issues? I have a SGS captivate so I am not too worried about having to mess with it before it works and I can use my phone to access email and all that.
But is it quick and snappy or will I feel like i'm using an underpowered device after using my phone.
And battery life, is it good, acceptable, or what?
Sorry if these have been answered somewhere else i tried to find the answers, but it's getting late and I have work yet to do tonight.
I installed it to emmc..over clocked it's still sluggish. Kinda cool but not a keeper to me.my droid x blows it away on performance. I will be back on phiremod beta 2 soon. Honeycomb is fun to tinker but not primetime. Remember it is not from aosp..missing features. It is amazing how good it isconsidering.
Well...its very promising for being in the early stages of development

i use honeycomb as a daily driver and if you install V2 on the emmc from samuallhaff(not 100% sure of his username off the top of my head) it runs smooth and it is really clean
i get the stock all day battery life(mainly it just sits in my bag when im in class but i have wifi always on so i dont disconnect from my schools wifi) and web browsing is amazing(it doesnt have flash though not a deal breaker though imo)
just dont use live wall papers and set CPU because they drain battery life faster and they diminish performance big time

if you have setCPU or a live wallpaper installed on honeycomb it diminishes performance by 100%
i noticed this performance boost after i uninstalled setCPU and removed my live wallpaper from my honeycomb install and so far it has been great

I just realized that you are running HC from your SD card.
No, if you format that SD card, you lose HC. It actually mentions that in the procedure you linked in your original post.
The reason you only see 115MB on the card when you mount it on your Windows computer is because Windows can only see the first partition, the boot partition, that was written to that SD card as part of the procedure you followed. The rest of the space is taken up by partitions Windows can't see without help.
So if you want to continue to run HC off the SD card you have to dedicate that SD card just for running HC.
SD Card Partitions
while installing the image 3 patitions will be written on your sd-card.
1) root partition
2) honeycomb
3) fat32-partition
to use the full size of the sd-card use a partition manager to extend the fat32-partition.
installed apps can than transferred to the fat32-partition

i was wondering if i put honeycomb on my nook color, not on the sdcard, how would i do it. The instructions on that site only says how to make a bootable sd card. And i was using HC on a level 4 sd card and it said that u need a level 6. But i was still able to get it to run. The honeycomb on the sd card level 4 was pretty slow. i was wondering if i got it on my NC, would it be faster. If it would, can someone show me how?
Just follow the instructions here:

Nope lots of lag still. Its ok not complaining. Lots of fc in dolphin too. Back to phiremod 2.2 for awhile.
You have to remember that the Honeycomb that was Ported is the Preview Release, think Demo version. It wasn't ported from (pretty much)scratch like Froyo was. It is more of a Rom hack. For a better performing version we have to wait for Honeycomb's Official Full release. In perspective, it's amazing how much deeper-blue got done with just the Preview image.

Not picking on you but it's actually 4 partitions.
1=Boot (Basically redirects to the Android on the SD)
2=System (Holds the main OS files of Honeycomb)
3=Data (Where all you're settings and other data are)
4=SDcard (This partition is used as a stand in for a Physical External SDcard)
Also the easiest/simplest way to access the 2, 3, and 4 partitions is to use linux. Burn a LiveCD if you don't want to Install, although Ubuntu can be Installed without Partitioning or other such normal 2nd OS needs. Just get the Windows installer from http://ubuntu.com

SD Card and Honeycomb 3.0 v4 image
I've been looking for an answer throughout the forums on this question but can't seem to find anything. The problem: I used the Honeycomb v4 image with WinImage. The SD card was originally 8 GB. The image file is 4 GB with approximately 600 MB or so of free space. Missing: 4 GB that was on the card.
1. Can I use a utility under Windows to get the free space allocated on the SD card that remains? If so, how?
2. Is there an option with WinImage to allocate the additional space on the SD card as free space and include it as part of the image that is being written to the SD card?
3. If I need to restore my SD card back to 8 GB, can that be done in Windows Explorer (not sure that Windows will pick up the full 8 GB as I haven't tried that yet).
Thanks.
Ohh, you have that problem. Don't know where you've been looking but that has been asked and answered many times. The problem is that when you install Froyo or Honey to the SD it makes 4 partitions like I listed above, but Windows can only see the First Partition and only Formats the First partition. The easiest way to fix is to put it in UnRooted Stock and Format it from Settings. If you don't have that you can Burn a Linux or GParted Live CD and Format it from their.

Hi,
If you experienced this problem go to the 6th post where the answer is.
Have a weird problem.
SD-EXT partition seems to not mount and be discovered by system at boot. As a result cannot use DT, S2E for CM7.
Here is some background info, I suppose my diagnosis is right. Please help
I bought google-branded Nexus One with Eclair, opened the bootloader installed CWM, partitioned SD card and installe newest CM7 nightly with gapps and DT. That made the phone reboot each time any new app was installed.
I tried with different DT versions, S2E app from Market and the problem wasn't solved. Then tried MIUI, but when enabled A2SD there all apps from data were gone.
The card might need to be repartitioned/reformatted.
Did that as well, even have used different cards, formatted on different recoveries and so on. Now I found out method of Data2SD from Desire, it works on CM7 and MIUI, but I am afraid of poor performance as dalvik and data of apps are on SD-EXT now...
You could try to perform a simple copy test to/from /data and to/from SD-EXT, to know how do the speeds differ, if at all. Internal memory of Nexus isn't really speedy.
You mean via ADB? I'll send some file as soon as I'll be on Win and give it a try
After all I noticed that both SD cards were Class 2, whereas in my Wildfire I have class 10. But that really shouldn't make that difference, should it?
Also an app Link2SD works fine, so the partition itself is accessible.
I also noticed, that on Wildfire there are 4 statbars in menu (Internal Memory, System, SD card, sd-ext), but on Nexus the last one is gone. This is why I think something curious is about mounting.
Does anyone know at what stage of boot DT A2SD is activated? When the SD-EXT partition gets mounted?
Nexus One controller speed is limited, so anything beyond Class 4 most probably will be simply a waste.
The SD-EXT should be mounted when the kernel is up and running the boot scripts (/system/init.d/*). Usually it's mounted in one of the first scripts (they're numbered, and run by number sorting order).
The tab in the phone menu is an option of specific ROM. No stock ROM supports A2SD, so in order to get this tab you need a custom ROM that has this specific option integrated. I don't know of any - though MIUI most probably has it.
[SOLVED]
Thx all for help.
It was radio to blame. I installed CM7 after stock Eclair with very old radio.
Solution: go back to stock Eclair, do all OTAs and try once more with A2SD.
(and never buy a Wildfire to be afraid of doing OTAs on Nexus (I've lost root possibility by doing OTA on WF))
What are the diference between super froyo and cyanogen and the rest of the android? I'm a noob and would like to install one of this to my kaiser.
Thanks
The "builds" you're asking about are just different versions of the same build.
The 29-8-11 build is version 2.2.2 Froyo, Super Froyo (IIRC) is build 2.2.1, and Cyanogenmods are just that, "mods" to an originally stock build, wether it be Froyo, Gingerbread, Eclair, etc.
I honestly can't say I hate or dislike any build or modded version, as they all have their benefits. The one great thing about Android is the ability to "make it your own" through customization, where-as iOS (iPhone) pretty much locks you into a certain form and functionality, which the benefit is stability.
My suggestion... grab the 29-8-11 build on sourceforge and build a kernel with 3-4mb above the total install size of 87mb, give yourself a 15-20mb cache file and install it. Customization comes with time, trial and error, and some effort, but you will be happy with the results.

Can you give me the sourceforge link.
I follow this :http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsHaret
I partition using the atools but nothing happen.Receive an error message someting like ext2 ext3 and something missing.Get an error using the above.Maybe it's my bad.
This is the latest error
did you keep the D-Pad pressed ?
That is nothing to do with the D-pad, that is a fault of not installing the system to NAND, something I'm unfamiliar with as I never used or even liked HaReT.
It appears as if you're installing to SD, but the card is not formatted correctly with the 3 (maybe 4 now) partitions needed, one for system, another for data, and the rest for your use.
It should be easy peasy to install to NAND as ATools is really optimized for NAND installations now.
Now I made ext 2 & 3 to my sd card. 1st attempt took 6hrs and still installing files and now trying 2nd attempt.
I use atools and choose haret.once Linux running I choose ext 2 . I follow everything but android doesn't seems to run. Now under file folder there's only ext2 appear ext3 is missing . Have been trying to install few times but nothing happens. My card is 16gb class4.
Can I have the link for the latest froyo dated. 29.8.11.
First off, forget about keeping Windows Mobile and go straight to Android. I never liked running from a SD card.
Here's the link..
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2011-08-29-froyo/
Select the correct build for your Country (eu, us or all), preferrably an "odexed" version, download it and copy it to your FAT32 formatted SD card in a folder labled "andboot" without the quotes.
If you check around, I have a post or 2 with the "KAISIMG.NBH" file attached. I always build a new kernel for any new installs as I like to make modifications depending on build size. The one I posted is for this build with a meager 500MHz overclock, 15mb for cache and around 92mb for data with an EXT4 FS.
If you use the 29-8 build, there is no need to update anything as the update modules are included.
How many partition do i need and how many mb do i need on each partition.I'm using 16 gb.
update: I make 1 fat32 and 3 ext2 with 200mb each using gparted.
where does the downloaded or installed apps goes to.Is it on the fat32 or the ext. what's the difference ext2, ext3,ext4.Can I reformat the sd card once my device is androided to add more mb to the ext. If my ext. not enough to install apps (if the apps need to be install to ext. not fat32)sorry for so many question.
Do I need 'bse'( *img -> Virtual disk on sdcard (you need to create it, you can create it with bse) to create virtual disk.?
First off, you're speaking in HaReT terms, a completely different language for me.
I only know how to install /system and /data to NAND, NOT an SD card. No 3 separate partitions on my SD, only 1 formatted to FAT32.
Again, you're running Android "through" Windows by clicking an .exe file in file explorer, not the way I'm running it, which just involves pressing the power button, so you are, in fact, speaking a different language.
Build a kernel with ATools for NAND, not HaReT, and leave everything alone when presented with where to install. /system goes on NAND, /data goes on NAND.
That is my recommendation because I'm all about speed, and a class 6 SD couldn't provide that. Think of NAND as class 10...
I follow this for Nand : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/an... pls guide me on how to install through Nand.
Make sure you are using a FAT32 formatted SD card when attempting a kernel update. If you are sure it is formatted correctly, try another. I have 5 SD cards here, 2 of which won't work for kernel update, regardless of format.
If all else fails, look around for the RUU installer for the Kaiser.
Am i getting this right? i'm installing it to my device from yesterday night.
Edit:How long does it going to take 1 day? 1 week? now the number is [43617.514121]android_usb gadget:full speed config #1:android
I connected it on my pc and change to power supply.Is this normal?
Very simply, keep your phone away from any computers!
The only problem I see is the USB is connecting and disconnecting.
DO NOT keep the phone connected to the computer.
If you have followed all the instructions for a NAND install, this conversation would not take place... its THAT simple.
Reformat your SD card, out the KAISIMG.NBH directly on the SD, not inside any folders. Once thats done, make a new folder on the SD called "andboot" and place the androidinstall.tar file inside the new folder. If you're using a rom other than Scoot's or the SourceForge, you'll need an update for the cache.
Install takes less than 2 minutes with even the slowest SD card and first boot usually runs 3-5 minutes. ALL up and running, ready to use in less than 10 minutes.
@PoxFreak, at last i manage to install Android to my Kaiser HaRET way.I think i know what's the problem.I think it's due to my radio. I was using 1.71 and 1.70 it doesn't work. So i install shipped rom to my kaiser and install android .
@Poxfreak,
I manage to install CyanogenMod 6.1.2 Release 6 by using NAND.It took me .... like you say about 5 mins+.I was wondering I have 2 Kingston 4gb microsd card both can be use to install HaRET but only one of them can install NAND.So now I would like to use back my 16gb sd card as an external to install apps.Will I be able to do that instead of using the 4gb? Can I partition it?
Thanks
I have this good old Nexus One for a long time and it does what it does .
Now I'am looking for something that is still on CM7 but just with the mail/contacts/calendar and the Play Store in it. More is just not necessary, I think.
When I look in the GApps archive for this Android version can I delete files which are not in relation to these services in this archive?
I tried newer roms and there were quite slow so I got back to the CM rom.
And if everything is slimmed, the partitions could be resized, too. So that there is more data storage available.
I partitioned the 8GB SD Card so that mounts2sd (or any other program for that case) can use this space. But as long I don'T use the other androids and stay on 2 that shouldn#t be neccesary. Just my opinion.
After many ROMs (ICS, JB and KK) installed on my N1 I reverted to GB. Now I use the phone in car (I have the original car kit) for GPS and video recording and only GB have the video camera fully functionally. So this is what I use Silverbot2 ROM
Thanks. But there is no feature list in which I can take a peek?
Unfortunately there is no log list... But try last version from 23.10.2013 and you'll see the features.
Can I "Blackrose" it to make more space for the Data partition?
Resize the System and Cache partition maybe?
Yes, I have 240/10 and rest but i think it´s working and 220/8
