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.

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.
I just ordered a Nook Color from eBay with the $50 off... happy yes I am!
I've been with Android since the G1, now I have a droid... how come flashing ROMS and SD cards are so different? You have to put it internally on the Nook instead of on the SD card? Flashing off SD card causes problems? CWR doesn't work? Can anyone explain? It seems much tougher than my droid, just putting the file on my sd card then going to recovery and hitting update, or same with the gTab or Adam.
Unlike most phones, flashing a majority of ROMs (not all) for the NC wipes the Recovery -- ie, wipes it off the device.
So you create a Recovery SD card (the NC auto-boots into it) and then flash ROMs just like you would for a phone. Then take out the SD card when done with Recovery.
It wipes only the recovery correct? Not anything on the sd card? Ill search up how to make partition for recovery sd. Thanks.

Yeah, it'll wipe everything on the NC only, and not touch the SD card.
Here's the thread for creating a 3.0.0.6 Recovery SD Card (needed for CM7 Gingerbread ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959240
See post #19 for detailed instructions.
For FroYo I believe you need to use 3.0.0.5, found elsewhere.
just ordered my NC off ebay too. i'm reading up all i can as fast as i can. coming from an evo where wiping is too easy, this is going to be a bit more complicated, i can't wait!!!
More complicated, maybe, but also much safer since you basically cannot brick an NC... No matter how badly you screw up the internal flash, you can always boot from SD to fix things.
I bought 3 Nook Colors yesterday and rooted every one of them and installed HoneyComb on one, all in less that 2 hours start to finish including downloading images and making the SD card. I made one SD card with CWR with images for the stock ROM, CyanogenMod 7 and HC eMMC v4. It all works flawlessly. This thing really is simple to manipulate. I had more trouble making a gold card and rooting my HTC Inspire!
Well I want to chime in on this too now because I'm new to this as well. What are the advantages/disadvantages of nookie froyo on the sd card vs flashing a rom to the internal?

well sd cards are slow and internal memory(eemc) is fast
if you install froyo/cm7/HC on your eemc it will run much faster vs running from sd card, running from sd card is good though if you want to try out a rom without losing your current setup
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.
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

Guys,
I'm running CM7 on SD Card on my Nook Color 1.4.2 with my Stock ROM in place which boots my stock Nook Color without with the SD Card.
Everything has been running fine without any issues; I kinda wanted to test out the new flavors and try out the latest CM9 on SD Card and see how that works. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a straightforward guide/thread that explains how to install CM9 on SD Card.
I used the Verygreen CM7 SD Card thread which had very good details on how to install the CM7 on SD Card, along with the files required and everything. Isn't there something similar for CM9 on SD Card instead?
Thanks!
Just put the CM9 install files on the boot partition instead of the CM7 files.

You do it exactly the same way you did on CM7. But you really need to upgrade your image. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature for more information why you need to and how to do it.
Thanks for the response guys!! It worked!! I'm now running CM9 Ice Cream Sandwich on SD Card on my Nook Color. This is awesome!!

Get the ics rom in the links in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23164909
And to install it on an SD, follow the guide here:
http://taosaur.blogspot.com/2011/09/running-cyanogenmod-7-from-sd-nook.html
Just substitute CM9 wherever it says CM7. And you need to use the ics version of gapps. Get them here :
