You say that you have a "new" nook. Is it a color or tablet? They are not interchangeable, as far as roms go.

Ok thanks they are easy to follow but are they for the nook color or tablet and fyi my nook is running the stock firmware with the update of 1.3.0 will the instructions still work?
EDIT: The instructions are for the nook color so im ok on that part but i dont know of it matters on whatever version my stock os is on.

It does not matter what you have on the internal memory, stock, rooted stock, cm, or any other ROM. It still should work.

I also heard of this but i dont want to do this for now since cm9 still is complete. I do have spare sd cards so after this cm7 sd card boot, i might get started on something like this. The instructions are only a bit difficult for me but its cause im new. Anyway thanks.

nook to android
First of all I am unsure of what I am doing. I have a Nook color and want to play the Wheel of Fortune and other Android games. I paid for Wheel of Fortune, but it wouldn't download. It says my Nook is not compatible. What do I need to do?

What rom do you have installed? If its cm7 or other roms it should let you install them and play them.

well from what i have been reading, i dont think there are any other than Phiremod's version
i will personally be waiting for another version due to the fact that i have to use the softkeys app(which i despise with a passion)

Probably check your grammar if you're going to say something like that.

Oh the irony...
Phiremod isn't cm7 its just a themed nookie froyo... cm7 is being kept private until it's perfect. Be patient and time will reward you.
Actually the new build of phiremod is CM7. And CM7 isn't private, thecubed released the CM7 build today. Oh the irony...

Once CM7 is installed, is it easy to update with the nightly builds? Just wondering if it is possible to do an update rather than having to do a complete rewrite of the emmc?

I am new to CM team's work, I have a Samsung Vibrant and they do not develop for it, so I am interested in this answer too. What exactly are "nightly builds"?

From what I have read to date.. I would say yes, but it is not seeing all the apps. As this build is currently in Beta, and the Devs debugged the market only to the point of Google registration and no further.. yet.
This is subject to change, even hourly so hold on to your seat.

just flash without wiping or formatting. might work might not. little too early to tell.

this is an open source build. anyone can contribute changes/fixes and if they are approved they go in to the nightly build. so yes, every night a new build will be made even if there are no changes.
Why thank you!
The Nook forums are a breath of fresh air coming from the wild west of the Vibrant forums. Here seems to be, well, more mature, IMO.
Digging the separate "Dev" and "user forums". Lets the Devs do their work.
nah all ive seen is original, nightly (under the name encore not nook), and phiremods. ive been looking too
Sorry for the noobie question but.....
What is CM7? I'm familiar with the android builds,
Eclair, Froyo, Honeycomb, etc., but not CM7.
Thanks
Never mind! I found out myself. Should have just googled CM7 in the first place. Thanks anyway!
format SD card?
I have CM7 running on the nook. For some reason I am having trouble with the SD card. I am new to android, so bear with me. When using the Nook's OS there was a format SD card option, but I can't seem to find this in the CM7 build. How do I go about formatting so that I can use titanium backup? I have tried formatting to fat32, and that does not seem to work. SD card shows up, but I can't see my files. Thanks for any help on this.

They put out the 7-flavour for about a dozen phones but I haven't seen a dedicated NC ROM.
What device-version of CM7 did you use? How did you flash it (Clockwork or Fastboot)?
I don't have my NC yet but am doing research for next week...

[Q] Can I install CM10 on HD+?

Hello:
I was thinking about buying a Nook HD+ for my wife. The price is right and it has microSD expansion. But I don't want to use the Nook UI and want to install CM10 instead.
Is this possible with Nook HD+?
Thanks.

Thanks leapinlar. I'll look at his thread. What are your general thoughts are of Nook HD+ with CM10? Do you have any cautions about the post-install experience?
Cheers.

I use it as my daily driver. It still has a few minor bugs. I use the 1-08-13 version and it is very stable. Look at his 1-7-13 post to get it.

I use for daily CM10.1 on SD. I cant say nothing bad. All things what i had have described on CM10.1 thread too. All apps which one i tested dont had any glitches (believe me, i tested big amount different apps). Only thing is that i dont use bluetooth because i dont have needless. Also wifi have some connection lose problems if wifi ssid is hidden. But this is random.
I'm on CM10.1 because i need different user accounts on one devise.
I'm running Verygreen's 2/12 update and have no trouble or complaints at all. Daily driver all the way. Don't use BT, so I don't know about that. I haven't had reboot problems or anything.

Upgrading from CM10 to CM10.1

I did the SD card version of cm10 a few months ago but battery life seems to be awful so was looking at upgrading it to cm10.1.
Have had a good look through the development forum but there isnt much info on actually going from 10 to 10.1, they all seem to be based on starting from scratch.
Wondered if anyone could let me know what files and instructions i need to go from cm10 to cm10.1?
Many thanks

You don't say which device you are using, HD or HD+. If you are running verygreen's old legacy HD+ SD setup, you need to update to his new SD setup. He uses a different SD scheme now that operates much better. So that means you need to start over with the SD. Format it with SDFormatter and then burn his early7.1 image to the SD and follow the rest of his instructions in the thread, including flashing the newer version of gapps. Battery life is much improved.

Custon Kernel on a N2ACARD setup?

Hi there, I have a Nook HD+ with CM10.1 running out of a sd card I got from NCACARD
I am very happy with my setup, however I'd like to install a kernel that would allow me to overclock the cpu a bit. The kernel that comes in the card doesnt alow for ovecloking.
What are my options to do this? what kernel should I flash? do I just flash it in CWMR?
I am very experinced in flashing roms/kernels/radios/rpm etc into my GSIII but I am new to the nook business.
Thanks for any help.
If you can find an overclocked kernel that is for the Nook HD+ and has been set up for flashing with CWM on SD, you can do it. But I doubt you are going to find such a thing.
