Does nook color have usb host support??
Has anybody tested it?
If not, is any body working on it coz hardware definitely supports at least usb 1.3.
Edit: the applications are endless
usb drives,external hdd, internet data cards depnding on drivers avaliblity u can attach any hardware and ditch ur notebook.
EDIT 2 : Verygreen has it working
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bovg4aBFnA8
I can't thank you enough for this green, i wanted this really bad, that's why decided to look into it too(that didn't work out too well though).
Don't believe it supports it. No idea if anyone is working on it either, but I know id definitely want it.

Looking at the nook color teardown, it seems the nook has a chipset which SHOULD support USB OTG, but it would required the drivers and OS supporting it as well.
Personally I think bluetooth support will be the closest we'll get (at least for quite a while)

What would you do with it, beside a keyboard and a mouse?
I'd rather have bluetooth instead of usb host support.
I'd like to be able to ditch my laptop while running around the Gulf of Mexico. Between helicopter weight limits and the limits of what I can carry swinging from boats to platforms. Less is more. Id like to carry my nook and ext. Hard drive for movies.

btw, those eager to try external keyboard already can give it a try with all the BT progress made by fattire (the real hero).
Since I want to stay on the safe side myself, I compiled this 2G SD image that you can boot into and have working bluetooth (keyboard and external audio confirmed working). Of course use at your own risk and such:
htt p:// handhelds.ru/nook/2g_bt_card_image.img.gz
go to settings -> wireless & networks
make sure that bluetooth is enabled and then you can explore and pair devices in "bluetooth settings" there.
Range so far is in the area of 13", so usable for a keyboard at least.

May i ask about this image... is it Froyo or Gingerbread (CM7)? Working BT sounds great, but a bit more info couldn't hurt..

Ah, sorry, did not mention it.
It's CM7 from yesterday with bt patches applied on top (they were committed later on after I tested that they worked).
BTW, it's the image used by IOMonster in that video from yesterday that you referenced in the BT progress thread (I just don't have enough posts to actually post to dev forum I originally wanted to reference it there sine it seems people are eager to play with thing at least somewhat).

just write what fits and then reformat 4th partition as fat.
the fat partition is empty anyway.
that way you can even write to 1g sdcard if you must, the fat sdcard partition would just be really small.
Since I cannot still post in development forum, for those who try the image and it does not work, I had some problems if you d oa soft reboot from other image into SD.
Try powering off your nook and then booting from SD.
Also if that did not work, you might want to change /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
(you need to remount /system read-write first of course)
look for BThWlanCoexistEnable = 2 line
change it to BThWlanCoexistEnable = 1
save the file
power off the nook again and then turn it back on and boot from SD.

I only have a 1Gb card handy right now so that would be great, what the best way to right that? Would Win32DiskImager do the job for writing? Not sure about the reformating part though. Thanks !

I am not familiar with windows tools, sorry.
I imagine whatever you use to write the image will just write as much as it can and then abort
after this happens, start a tool you use to manage partitions on windows (volume manager? I dunno, used to be fdisk in DOS and Windows95 days).
point it at the SD card.
Tell it to delete the last partition.
Then tell it to create another partition on SD card that would span the rest of the free space and set the type to fat.
If a separate format is required, I imagine there would be a way to then format this new partition.
Thanks, will try that and see what happens.

Every once in a while I'm having the same sort of problem whith my storage card, whether it's MiniSD, MicroSD or SDHC. To be more precise some/all files disappear leaving nothing but some bloody FILE*.CHK files, which seem to be completely useless. I did some google-search and there seems to be no practical way of retrieving the lost data.
I'm curious: why is it happening in the first place and has anyone been successful in combatting this issue? (don't tell me about backups )
I have yet to have a problem with the mem card in my Kaiser. it is a 6Gb Sandisk. Do you have an off-brand?
My old HTC Sable had issues like you describe...
arent .chk files left over by scandisk on a windows box?
this could be due to not ejecting the hardware before removing it from the pc!
under what circumstances are you experiencing this
Yes when combatting this issue I find that handguns are useless and shotguns are all the rage. When trying to do the official combat I like to taunt the problem a bit with the pistol (which just makes it mad) and then go all out with the shot gun. It's always good to have someone else at your side with a missle launcher or something, ya know, for the hardcore combat.
.CHK files are recovered file fragments from Scandisk. I would try a low level format of your SD card and then reformat as FAT32 (for the love of ____, do not use NTFS). NTFS is not designed for removable media and will give you nothing but headaches.
How do you low level an SD card. You only really hear about that with SCSI drives now days, Or do you mean a full format?
im not sure that the post that says dont format ur sd card as ntfs is accurate, while it may be true that a windows mobile device will probably not recognise this disc at all, i use an sd card formatted as ntfs in a laptop with no problems!
try hdtune @ www.hdtune.com/ this might be useful!

You can use an SD card reader with a PC and use a program such as Boot/Nuke to do a DoD-certified erase of the contents.

You can format removable media with NTFS, but you need to be extremely careful since NTFS is constantly caching data from the drive. Unless you disable write-back caching or eject the card each time prior to removing it (which cannot be done on a phone), you run a high risk of corrupting the data on it.
The problem with NTFS on removable media seems to be a windows issue. Not sure if that is windows mobile as well but it also seems to be fixed in a service pack. If I were having problems I wouldn't be using something with user rights and permissions on a device that does nothing with that.

Forgot to mention when trying to fix this I used the windows disc-check utility, but initially problem started after I installed one of the games (Tomb Rider I think) and the battery power was down to 2-3% when I turned my Kaiser off. I couldn't access the programm files folder from ppc, and it was empty when I opened it on pc...except there was tombrider.exe left...

Hmmm, interestingly it doesn't display the file system in the properties menu like it would for the hard drives... but I'm pretty sure I didn't format the card...unless was formatted NTFS when first inserted in a device...

If you didn't format it, then it would be FAT32 formatted by default.

You installed the games in the MicroSD, right?
I experienced it twice, sorted out that it happens when I'm using an application that installed in the MicroSD and then turned the device off. The strange thing that it is only occurred when using a large sized and resource extensive application (especially games), it doesn't happen when using light application such as YahooGo!, MapKing, etc. I end up to install all apps in main memory, and lived peacefully (finger crossed)
I hoped someone could explain why this happen, even better cured it

Actually you still can save your files, it still there just with mixed up name and extention
1. Sort the file by it's file size, you could get an idea what file it was by it's size
2. Change the file extention according to what you think it supposed to be judging by its size, ie:
small file to *.txt and open it with notepad, read what's in it and change it to what it's supposed to be .pwi, .xls, etc
2 - 6 MB files to *.mp3
etc
I know it's painful especially with my 2GB data, also you cannot saved your application this way, but I saved my most recent and important data this way, for the rest I just have to satisfy with my 1 month old backup
If anyone could suggest better way, pleaseee let me know

Yes mate! Sounds very much like what happened here - after intstalling Tomb Rider (4-6MB) in the MicroSD I launched it and then soft reset - my program files vanished...And I dont think I could do anything about that, the .CHK files I got after running the checkdisc utility were all the same size - 32kb, something to do with the cluster size I think...
I guess the question of the cause and the way to prevent it remains open...

I ported the complete registry entries from HTC Fuze to HTC Shift filling all the missing keys in Shift regarding BT, WiFi, SD and USB. This did not change the functionality of WM at all, i.e. it did not recognize any of those except the USB for ActiveSync, which is normal. No strange behavior. I compared the dlls that are references like SDMemory, btfsd, encfilt etc. They are similar. Now I wonder these things may be hardwired to the main MB instead of the WM side and WM is a daughter to MB something like a modem card. I may be wrong also. I am not giving up. I want to explore if I could use BT, WiFi and SD if vista is turned on. I know we could use SD Card as a network storage using totalcommander or any other tool if vista is turned on, but I want to use it as a local storage instead of network storage. I will keep you posted.
--Ram--
Gospeed to your work !
(Title should read: Godspeed to your work)
If anyone knows the address of one of the senior HTC engineers responsible for designing the HTC Shift,
we could then simply hold the guy hostage until he reveals his secrets.
Or maybe we can offer a bribe first, it would ease logistics of the operation.
Darn, our hybrid needs just a few more tweaks (SD,BT) to make it
reach it's full potential.
If the EC bridge controller is only powered when vista is active... we might
need some X-Box and/or PS hackers to take a look at the big picture.

What recovery image are you using? Some of them will allow you to mount the sd card whilst in your phone as it is in recovery mode (home+power). If you have one that allows you to do that you can format the card and just plug your phone in to the computer and transfer what you need that way.

Get off your "bill gayes is god" box and accept that you need to use the RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
MS is OPENLY HOSTILE to everything that is NOT MS.
And you are trying to make a filesystem layout that is a hybrid of MS and NOT-MS.
It asks you to format filesystems because it is DESIGNED TO DESTROY EVERYTHING that is NOT MS.
The solution: Don't use MS!!!

What's a "linex"?
(I know, that was a typo... linux.)
But AAAAHHH, holy crap! There sure shouldn't be.
Note: The answer is that there is TONS of linux in Windoze.... Including big long branches of code stolen verbatim. It is totally illegal and is a strict violation of the GPL license protecting the linux source code.
Once in a while we get PROOF that MS has stolen linux code... and it results in a complicated set of denials, but ultimately MS is forced to comply with the GPL license in these cases.

This is pertaining to the Mem card not being read in Froyo.
Me and many others have this problem from quite some time...but no1 seems to know the solution.
So this is my desperate appeal to all the devs and the bright minds working for this brilliant purpose of porting Droid to X1...
The actual problem: Whenever I click gallery or music, it tells me: 'Memory card unmounted or not inserted'
The irony is that Droid is running FROM the mem card. So obviously the mem card is very much in place.
Now if some1 can just spare a little time and findout why this happens.
I have myself tried two diff cards AND formatted my own atleast 4 times. The problem seems to persist.
So, any1, with any suggestion, help or idea is welcome to post it here.
And once again, I apologize to make a new thread about this topic if you think its wrong because I don't think so.
fair call circleofomega, it's an issue but from what I've observed here in my very short time is that hardware support is the critical concern and software - media not working - is at this stage a distant priority.
I'll try to reproduce this on my 2.01 glossy. I know that ringtones, alerts, etc. work and those are loading off the sdcard.
I have been following other android threads, and Tremere's 2.2 is going very fast, I hope soon it will be fixed.
and for me, I can't really use it without wi-fi, as I sync my contacts, emails, etc. so am just waiting as well
it's pretty obvious that this time they'll succeed, the build is amazing, fast n stable, i hope your problem will be fixed soon.

From your point of view this is true. But from Droid's point of view D) he thinks that 'memory card' is his primary phone internal memory and that there is no secondary memory (memory card).
@circleofomega
if you really want it to work you need to provide a situation where the devs themselves can reproduce the error on their devices otherwise you happen to be a one off situation
a bug that cannot be reproduced is likely not a problem with android/kernel itself but your hardware.
so if you want it fixed help the devs help you

There might be something there.

W/MountService( 214): Duplicate state transition (removed -> removed)
Why it thinks you removed the card you are booting from is beyond me..

The problem is that Android's mount service crashes on startup for no apparent reason, as illustrated in a log Oggy972 sent me:
Code:

Memory cards are mostly bundled by operators, at least that was the case here in Europe. What make and type is it ?
And what ROM do you have installed for Windows ?

Ok so I have my Nook Color and I have my shiney new class 4 sd card.
I have managed to install Honeycomb on said SD card. I even manged to get ADB setup and installed the marketplace and what not.
What I do not have is left over space on the card. I did use the image from this link:
***.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-android-3-0-honeycomb-and-market-on-nook-color/
[EDIT: Nice spam filter. Try this.]
Since the image is 4GB in size, I was under the impression I would have roughly 12GB free on my SD card. I do not. If I go to Settings > Storage it shows the SD card as having a total size of 1.25GB and 1.14GB free. It also shows the internal storage as having a total size of 656MB and 555MB free space.
Ok I could have sworn the EMMC (or internal storage) was 5GB and add in my 16GB of SD should give me 21GB of space +/- space of the OS and apps.
So where the frell is my 12GB of space at?
Also when I plug the nook into my PC running Windows 7 64-Bit I get 3 removable drives that are greyed out and unusable. Loverly. The heck? At the very least the internal EMMC should be showing up.
Notes:
Yes I did install the USB driver
From what I understand this version of HC is not rooted but like your intro video says, I am a newb so what the frell do I know?
What I want:
To be able to plug my NC into the PC and have access to the EMMC (where a lot of my files are now) and access to remaining 12GB or so of space on the NC itself.
History of me and the NC:
I have previously installed CM7 on a different SD card and it was alright. I didn't like it because I couldnt move icons around on the desktop in an intuitive manner. (i.e., grab and drop) and it felt too much like a hacked up phone OS instead of pure android. I want pure android on my NC.
I did my research before I purchased the NC and IMO, it is the best value for the $$$ in terms of an Android tablet. I don't mind putting in some hours in front of the command line (I started working with computers when DOS 5 was released, so lets compare the color of our beards, eh?) and am totally comfortable in various OS's and speak *NIX fluently.
Got an answer that you think is gonna work? Or should I just wait for someone else to post a different Honeycomb image for the NC, or is there one out there that simply works?
Over the last few months I have spent many hours reading these and various other forums (B&N Forums, Android Forums) to get ready to hack my Nook and I would love to contribute in some small (or not so small) manner however being married with 2 kids working 50+ hours a week puts a damper on my "fun time" (i.e. hackery).
Thanks in advance for not only reading all this, but for any help / support that is offered.
D'Oh!
Shoulda watched the video twice. Posted in wrong sub-forum.
Shoulda been in the Q&A area.
Crap.
Maybe there is a mod out there willing to move it.
Think I may have found whats up.
I pulled the SD card and stuck it back in my laptop to take a look-see at the partitions. Lo and behold there is a 12.5GB un-partitioned space.
So now I am going to create a new partition and then stick it in the nook and boot from it. Hopefully once I hook it up to USB, it will be able to mount as volume for file transfer. It would suck to have to poweroff the nook and pull the card every time I wanted to add some files to it.
No luck. Windows will not recognize the partition I created.
I.e., I am unable to assign a drive letter even though it is a logical partition.
Off to google stuff again.
Well I gave up on this.
However I am willing to admit when I am wrong. I am now quitw happily running the latest stable build of CM7 and its running nicely. Got a few more tweaks to do before I arrive at what I had pictured in my head for my ultimate nook.
I just wanted to report in and give a status update although I am kinda puzzled by the lack of responses. Are the majority of you running froyo and waiting for a better version of honeycomb to be released?
Anyway cheers and happy hacking.
Most of us are (I think) running CM7 (gingerbread). When the HC sources are released, I expect we'll be running CM8 within weeks.
Windoze has real troubles with partitioned SDs, especially in built-in readers, either a case of "we know better" or one of those simplifying assumptions that gets in the way. An external reader (looks more like a generic USB drive) might fare better. I'm a Linux guy, so I'm all set. Most Windoze systems don't have drivers for ext filesystems, so they're unusable (/system and /data).
Image-copying always sets the partitions and filesystems until you re-partition like you did. Good detective work there.
Also, lots of us have lives and aren't in this forum full-time. I tend to ignore HC posts when I don't have infinite time to mess around.

Delete the partition you created... extend the last partition on the SD... the nook can now use all of it when running off SD and the remaining portion of partition 1 when booting stock.
So come to find out that the main holdup woith getting honeycomb going for the nc community is a lack of source code. Until such time as that is made available I can wait.
Now then, here is where I will eat my own hat. I reloaded the latest stable version of CM7 on my nc and I am really impressed with it. Last time I tried it woas a few months ago and it was a dissapointment for me. However between then and now I have learned a lot more about Android in general and the nook. This is my first android device.
FWIW Linux is my mainOS and has been for years. I was in windows so I could satisfy a craving of mine.You see, I am a WoW player. While the game runs ok in Wine, it runs far far better natively, especially for raiding. So I use linux for work and most other functions, i use windows for games.
So anyway I am now very comfortable in my CM7 setup and will continue to work witu it and learn more as time goes by.
