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

Hi All,
I am thinking about buying the nook color after sifting thru all the wonderful work done on nook by all devs.
I have a question. If i use Nookie Froyo out of sd card, i.e. do not install it on the nook emmc, will I be able to access Nooks internal 8 gb memory? I am thinking about using the internal memory for movies and stuff. Will I be able to play them, if i boot into nook thru sd card?
The easiest way to be able to access the internal /media partition would be to use the Customized Nookie Froyo from brianf21. However, I just noticed the Nookie Froyo brianf21's is based off (cicada's Nookie Froyo) was just updated to 0.6.8. So you probably want to wait for brianf21 to update his customized one.
Thanks.....Much Appreciated
Hey guys first post from a an android noob here!
I just burned an sd with 0.6.7 and am wondering how to use the internal memory as well. I am mainly wondering how to get downloaded books to show on the kindle/nook apps.
Thanks!
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
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.
alright so i rooted out my nook color and now i would like to get NOOKIE FROYO 2.2 on my device. I have read everything but there is one question that i have that no one seems to put out there. And yes i am new to rooting etc. but rooting was damn easy and looks like loading nookie froyo to sd card is just as easy.
Question (probably dumb) is running the bootable sd card on my already rooted nooko color alright?
2) and it is really as simple as writing the nookie froyo image to the sd card plugging it into the nook and rebooting that simple?

1, as far as I know running roms off sd card is very safe, rooted or not rooted.
2, Yes... burn nookie froyo on sd card then turn on NC.
Yes, running from the SD card is safe.
I second what Pinoy8125 wrote.
1. Running off the SD card is safe and easy even with your interal memory being rooted. Look at it this way, you can try different images just by swapping different sd cards. Try the 6.8, 6.7, HC, etc.
2. Yep, just burn the image onto the SD card. Expand the 4th partition if the image size and the card size differ. This will allow you to recover the lost space. Turn on the Nook and see what you go.
I am getting very nice performance running Froyo 6.8 off of the SD card. I ran into micro sdhc compatibility issues which caused booting as well as performance issues. I have another thread out there on this issues. Awaiting people's feedback on this.

Now... I need help...how to go about expanding the 4th partition to recover lost space? I don't have a single idea on how to do this. Please explain it in details
I need some help with creating an SD card to boot android from on a Nook HD.
I tried this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I used an old 8gb sandisk micro SD i got from a cell phone
Used win32 disk imager and flashed generic-sd card image onto the root of sd card
Then I took out the card and re-inserted it to get it recognize the new image as F:boot which has 4 files on it MLO U-boot, U ram disk, and u image
Then I went to install CM 7.2 files onto the SD - that's where i ran into trouble. It gave "Error No Room on Disk". I looked at the space on the Sd card and it said it was only 113Mb. _Please help. What did i do wrong when flashing the image file onto SD card to make the sd card smaller?
Thanks in advance for your help.
You have really got things mixed up. This is a Nook HD/HD+ thread and you linked to a Nook Color thread (they are different devices). CM7 does not run on the Nook HD. No wonder things are not working for you.
If you truly have a Nook HD, find a Nook HD thread for installing CM to SD (has to be CM10/CM10.1/CM10.2 though).

Thank you for the reply. I checked and yes I do have a Nook HD 8GB. I got it from walmart for $129.
So just to confirm - No CM7 will run on Nook HD?
Can you install CM 10 without rooting the device? And if so, is a non-rooted install that runs directly off the SD Card significantly slower than it was flashed to internal memory?
If CM 10 has to be installed to the internal memory, are there dual boot options that would keep what i have on the nook saved?
Also, I noticed when i tried to put CM7 on the SD card, it created a 113 image file, and left the remainder of the disk as "unallocated" - so during the install process how does that unallocated space get turned into usable space?
Any link for the build I need would be very appreciated. Not trying to get anyone to do the work for me, with all the different builds and install files, its complicated for a first timer.
Thanks for help

No, CM7 will run on the Nook HD.
You do not have to root stock to run CM from SD. You can run CM10.1 from the SD and leave stock intact. So you can boot back and forth. If you do, I recommend the hybrid install here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36668001
It runs more quickly and has more stability. But be warned the instructions can be confusing.
There are no dual boot options that allow you to fully install two systems to internal memory.
And that old Nook Color SD that you used is different than how the Nook HD SD is installed. But you do have to follow directions to get everything to work and fit.
