Hi everyone, I watched some video on youtube and I see that Android market in Xoom is really awesome. It's a real Android Market for tablet (not Market 2.3 with long line text). It borns to be installed in tablet. Do you know any rom have it? or can you port it from Xoom to NookColor ?
I'm willing to bet it would require the HC level of SDK compatability; so probably only on a HC rom. Though I don't think any of the Xoom apps work on the HC rom since it was built with the emulator from the first HC sdk release; not the most recent. You may have to wait until the AOSP releases HC and devs put together a new ROM based on that.

Forgive me if this is a completely stupid question, since we're able to hack/root/whatever the nook color, why can't we install the latest android OS on it?
Check the dev thread. They are already booting an alpha version of froyo.

The latest is Gingerbread (2.3), not Froyo (2.2). The problem is that it is only officially released as source and the Nexus S. There's little developed driver support yet. As more official and user developed Gingerbread builds get released, there's a lot more to work with.
I think it's cool that they are working with Froyo, rather than Eclair though!
i just looked at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4NqT6u_ODk and started looking at honeycomb. When i first looked at the froyo video the the gingerbread video i noticed how fast our devs started working on the project i was just curious if this is already being worked on or if its even been seen thanks for any replys
AFAIK, the source hasn't been released yet. Supposed to be today.
Honeycomb is for tablets only. I don't think it will work on any phone.

Dude before we start hoping and dreaming for a honeycomb update to our phone why not lets see the gingerbread one get at least one stable release. Plus like others have said honeycomb is for tablets, for now.
From what i know, google is going to release android 3.0 as honeycomb for tablets and then later on work in and refine the smartphone side and release android 3.2 as honeycomb for smartphones.
Also, before we continue to build android updates for our hero we need a newer and more stable kernel.
S0be has been working on 2.6.35 and he's done a lot of good work, i'm pretty sure deca has also contributed to that as well and deca also maintains a 2.6.29.5 kernel.
S0be kernel
once that kernel is done then the likely hood of having honeycomb running on the hero is good.
By then there will be no devs left

Notice: Don't take this as gospel truth, I'm not a rom modder, just a kernel hacker
The hard part in getting up and running on a new Android release has very little to do with the kernel. For the most part, the Kernelspace/Userspace APIs have stayed the same. Where the problems lie are in the Kernelspace Helper Libraries and their connection with userspace. We do not have the source code for all these libraries, which is why it's not just *POOF* it works every time a new android release comes out. My 2.6.35 kernel just means that any direct kernel dependence new android adds will be provided, but it does NOT solve these intermediary layers. There is, in fact, the possibility that a new android release won't be compatible with our libraries, and we'll be proper focked.
I flashed HC onto the Nook Color, from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936995, and it seems to run very slowly, sometimes not registering my touches too well. Is it that way normally or should I flash back to Nookie Froyo? If so, how?
Thanks
Because the source of the rom is a modified SDK image, there were many work arounds that had to be made to the compiled code. As such, the rom can be very shaky, and really isn't suited to be a daily use ROM.
THis image is not representative of Honeycomb; once we get the source code, devs should be able to make a much more stable version and really make an amazing ROM.
Yeah that is normal. Honeycomb at this point is basically a demo. The only fully working non-stock ROM is Froyo.

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?
What would be the best ROM to use on my Motorola Milestone A853? Looking for something stable anything from Android 2.3 to Android 4.0.
Currently using: CyanogenMod 7.2.0
Preferably something that can play games and yet still be over Android version 2.3.
Look at steel droid. Good dev and still being worked on.
Or go to CM7 and overclock a bit with a different kernel.
Plenty of options and info out there, just start reading.
