Newbie at rooting nook - Nook Color General

Hi. I got a nook last week and I've been wondering how to root it. How can I install cm7? Or is there any other "room" like for my Droid incredible (skyraider, cm7, unrevoked, etc). How do I double booted? Any guide for noons?

Cm7 is the only rom worth installing. Check out this thread on how to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227

If your using stock it goes to internal SD /download or /downloads can remember what one if your using dolphin or a third party it basically where you designated it to go

Thanks alot! works perfectly. Also just boot into CWM and go to flash from sd card, navigate to downloads and install.
Yes I do believe eve stock downloads to internal SD by default you have to change it here to help buddy

Sorry but i dont get it. I downloaded straight to phone and tried to move from phone memory to sdcard-external to flash but none of the downloads wants to move to the sdcard what am i doing wrong?

You don't need to really move anything any where where ever you downloaded it you just navigate to that directory using volume keys and you select with power

Flashed and.... I don't see anything new or different. How do you use the libs?
Dude just flash this as you are flashing a rom you have done that before right
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
My question wasn't how to flash. I flashed it and nothing is different or new. I see it added some .lib and .bin files but they aren't affecting anything.
Well i finally did it..and i can notice a little change but nothing TOO drastic. Someone should get these files and make a mini app of it so that wen downloaded there is an app to turn this function on so we can hear the difference...wish i was a developer..i have good ideas.

@outsider we have a similar program built for samsung devices don't remember the name but I think the issue for us is we can't make kerals or really truly over clock I believe they are related some how.

yeah ok could remember the name and it's built into the kernal builds as well.. but with us its different if you want that effect go to a rezound with beats audio soundcards built in.. or if your running ics.. there is a equilizer in the music app but not sure about g.b.

Roms for sch-i800

Is there any custom roms that work for the samsung galaxy 7inch verizon tablet besides the cubed rom? I really would like to try something new. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App
I have been running the stable cm9 on my Verizon galaxy tab without any issues at all.
Just goto get.cm and search for p1c in the stable section and download the latest version. I do believe you need cwm 6.0 to flash it. There is a really good link on how to flash ics on our tabs here: http://geekniggle.blogspot.com/2011/12/loading-ice-cream-sandwich-on-verizon.html. I followed this guide and it worked perfectly. (Hopefully I didn't break any xda rules by linking this.)
Best of luck to you. Just don't miss any steps from that link.

i know you didn't ask me but i've been running cm9 for a while now the rc version. very stable no problems on my end. but i was just gonna flash the stable version but someone mentioned something about having cwm 6.0 in order to flash it. i just checked their site and only the 5 something is available for us. please someone correct me if im wrong.
I have a sch-i800 and i have been running cm9 on it with no problems. I am now running cm9.1 stable you can get it from http://get.cm. The Verizon tab it the p1c also download the gapps from http://goo.im. you will need these 2 files to get things working properly with ics on your verizon galaxy tab.
I've been running cm9 since the beta stages. I would definitely recommend it for anyone now that it's stable. Just flashed 9.1 myself last night and it is solid.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Does your battery drain while the tabs off?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
Not normally. There was a bug in cm9 (not yet in cm9.1) where I would get the black screen of death and it would kill my battery. I would have to hold the power to force reboot to restart the tab, but when it is in normal standby, no it doesn't drain my battery.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Funny.... right after I posted this about not getting the black screen of death in 9.1 I checked and my tablet actually had it. So I guess the issue is still there but it isn't a breaker in my opinion.

Thanks I'm going to be doing this when i geg back from rhe gym spellinnggg
Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
sooo I downloaded the p1c file. which file is this from the tutorial you posted??
That is the full Rom, should be a zip file. You can't flash it until you get cwm 6.0 recovery on your tab, which if I remember right is the first couple of steps.
Just download everything the tutorial tells you and follow it, don't miss anything.

Well, now that you are on ics, CM10 Jelly Bean nightlies have just released as of last night. First nightly yesterday and it is solid as can be. Havent found one thing that does work. GPS, blueetooth, 3g, wifi, camera, all working with zero workarounds.
Just wanted to point this out to you. Check the nightly section at get.cm under p1c. Runs smoother then cm9!
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app
It is nice but it stops supporting flash. Although there is a work around. Do you how I can make the theme the same as cm9 I liked it simplicity
Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
Just add a different launcher from the play store. Either adw or nova. Should give you the ics feel.

There's no way to just have the status bar like before?

Not that I'm aware of honestly. Not sure if there is a ics launcher that puts that back or not.

You are trying to open the nandroid backup file? Just rename the .tar.a to .tar and you can open with winrar or some other archive program.

It is probably because the home.apk for the HD/HD+ is ics and stock Nook Color is froyo. If you modify the androidmanifest.xml file in the apk to change the expected version of android, it might install. But that does not guarantee it will run.

The line that says minSDKversion. And I don't remember what version froyo is. Look at your other apps. And before you ask, you have to decompile and recompile the apk before you can edit it. Use APK-Multi-Tool. Search web for it.

Thank you again. By the way. I'm on CM7.2 (2.3.7 gingerbread) not froyo.

Ugh. I've been looking at APK multi-tool confused::sly: ) and I'm thinking that I'm both too nooby and busy to do this. I'm scared I'll break something or have to stop in the middle of a process. I know this is asking a lot, but can you recompile this APK to work with gingerbread for me?

App to SD?

I want to move some apps to my SD on my rooted Nook HD but with all the app moving tools I just get errors like the path is the same as internal storage blah blah blah. Can anyone help with this?

Maybe I'm using rooted stock.. All I did was flash some files from your thread.. I feel really dumb.

Upgrade to lollipop?

So since android is open source, would it be legal to upgrade a Nook HD to lollipop, and if so, how could I?

It is legal but voids any warranty you may have with B&N. There are lots of threads in the development forum telling you how to do it. If you want to go to Kit Kat or lower go to the dummies thread linked in my signature.

Thanks. Can you give me a suggestion for a version of android to use? I like the older versions more, but I fear it won't be compatible with newer apps.

I always recommend cm10.1.3. It is fast and stable. Not sure if it supports apps2sd, you'll just have to try it. Follow the dummies thread linked in my signature to install it.

Latest Lolipop for Ovation dated 29.08.2015 from DMaces runs pretty well also. Highly recommended. You can find it in the developer section of this forum.
Hi all,
I'm running cm12, lollipop 5.1.1, on a nook HD+, and I can't get access to a USB Drive. I installed the unofficial August 3rd build. I'm using the standard USB power cord with a female to female USB adapter. I have run several USB host apps to try to resolve the problem with no luck. I get a message that I need and s3c host adapter driver. Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Thank you,

Not sure I can from the device and software I am currently using, but look in the development folder for cm12.1 by Amaces. Has both ovation and hummingbird ROMs and kernels.
See if the following link works.

Apps2sd is supported under cm10.1.3. I recently uninstalled cm 11 because of constant instability and installed 10.1.3 under your advice. :good: I haven't had any mishaps yet.
The Nook's (HD/HD+) hardware prevents it from using any version above cm 10.1.3 without performance issues. But overall, a fantastic value when rooted correctly.
