Is it possible to install CM7 to the internal eMMC but allow for the ability to dual-boot a rooted version of the stock 1.2 NC OS from the SD card? What about even triple-boot another OS from the SD card in this scenario, such as the Honeycomb ROM. Thanks!

awesome! thanks
Racks, I've tried downloading and unzipping that ROM on two different machines (desktop XP box and laptop with Windows 7-64bit using both Winrar and system zip/unzip) and have gotten an error unzipping.
Any ideas? Also, is this ROM rooted 1.2 or does it just copy w/e is on your EMMC? (I thought you couldn't use CWM without rooting on 1.2 but I read a thread recently that said you could..)
I've got a rooted Nook Color and a 4GB SD Card.
So far I've run CM7.0.3 and also used the 1100mhz overclock without issues. I have had a lot of trouble finding the 1300mhz kernel zip for my SD Card. I tried using Kernel Manager Light but it boot loops "Touch the Future of Reading".
Does anyone have some direct links to the 1300mhz kernel zip?? I'd love to overclock this beast!!
EDIT: I am running CM7 off the eMMC not SD.

What version of Clockwork are you running? It makes a difference, and there's a lot of misinformation on the subject.

**** work? lolololo
Anyway, heres the link:
http://nook.handhelds.ru/dalingrin/kernels/test_builds/
Click on the link second to bottom that says "update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-042411.zip"
I recommend manually replacing all the files on the card though. (insert card into your computer, open one that says "boot" and replace uimage and then do the same with the other libs in the zip. Or just flash it through clockwork if you have a clockwork that writes to sd.

Hahaha, thanks for catching my typo. What's going on right now is that the latest version of CLOCKWORK will not read the kernels from that page. Clockwork 3.0.2.8 requires the extension script of these kernels to be changed to ext. 4. from ext. 3. Attached is the updated ext. 4 SD .zip
Noone uses the Kernel manager?
If downloads and flashes kernels right away through the program, without the need of CWM.
I thought Kernel Manager was the answer but it seemed to give me more problems than solutions.
There are no SD kernels in Kernel Manager Lite, just the eMMC kernels. I made the mistake of trying one of these and it was a pain to restore my nook. Unless the paid version gives access to those, I only have the lite version. If the paid version has this, let me know and I'll definitely pay.
I'm about to try the new oc zip.. wish me luck!
Okay I flashed the kernel with ext 4 and it only shows up to 1100 mhz (not 1300mhz) in the settings.. ??
I reflashed CM7.0.3 and Google Apps.. synced up to my Google account and then rebooted into Clockwork mod.
Once rebooted into Clockwork mod, I installed the zip with the modified ext you listed earlier. I am using the latest clockwork mod (Clockwork 3.0.2.8).
I get into CM7 and go to settings.. Cyanogen Mod Settings, Performance, CPU Settings, MAX CPU Frequency. The highest value listed in this menu after using your modified ext kernel is 925 mhz. I'm looking for that 1300mhz!
Oh I guess I forgot to add I am running this CM7 off eMMC not SD. Does that affect it? I'll edit top post to reflect such.
My head is aching with the sheer amount of information it is trying to process. I got a Nook Color about a month ago but have been putting off using it because I am still trying to figure out how to do what I want to do.
I've been going over the threads on the dev forum and after reading a lot of the threads, I still can't find exactly what I need (or maybe I've found it but I just haven't realized it yet).
My Nook Color is running latest official update from B&N (meaning 2.2 and B&N apps).
Anyway here's what I need:
1. I need to be able to dual boot into either HC or a rooted gingerbread-based version of android (is this the clockwork 7 thing?) solely from an SD card
2. Should not do anything to the Nooks internal memory (meaning: won't void warranty)
3. The dual boot manager, HC and and gingerbread-based version of android should all run on sd card. nothing will be placed/done on the nook (is this it? i'm so confused i'm not even sure anymore --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018)
4. The dual boot manager will still have the ability to install other custom roms on to the sd card when i put the zip file of the image on to the sd card (something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957)
5. Should have the overclock thingamajig
Anyway, are there any solutions to this? the "Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image for SDcard" seems the closest so far but I can't figure out if it installs a rom manager into the SD card with which I can install newer versions of the overclock kernel or newer versions of the custom ROMS based on HC preview or newer version of the CM7 nightly image. gaaaah.
Please help >_<. I promise I'm not stupid. This is just like information overload and I seriously am having a real headache (not just figuratively) right now.
Follow the thread below. From it, you can install plain CM7 (the best known gingerbread rom) strictly onto your SD card. If you have multiple cards, you can try out the different flavors of CM7:
CM7 Stable (latest is 7.0.3); OR
CM7 Nightly (latest is 76); OR
Beta CM7 .32 kernel, though this one is still has some bugs.
Phiremod is a themed CM7 which I haven't tried, while the above are more plain vanilla android. Also use a Sandisk card if you have one as they seem to have better overall speed regardless of Class, at least 2gb size or bigger.

Hi LBN1, thanks for the quick reply.
Does this work process allow me to install HoneyComb as well as a separate boot option?
I just realized that I'm actually looking for an SD dual boot of HC and CM7 w/ OC. Does this exist? >.<
Oh, this process is not for a dual booting SD card. It allows a rom on a SD card, and then take out the SD card and you can boot to stock B&N software, so it is a quasi dual boot so to speak. There are some actual dual boot options out there but I don't have any experience with any of them...
Same thing with Honeycomb roms, never tried any of them since from what I read they are still in early, beta stages meaning they really don't work as well as CM7.

Hehe... yeah I kinda figured that out What I had in mind was something along the lines of dual booting HC/CM7 via SD card and removing the SD card if I wanted to boot to the stock 1.2 (so it's a quasi triple boot) >_<
But thanks for your help!
I think the easiest thing you can do right now is to try the Phiremod/Honeycomb Dual boot sd image which I see you already found out. It wont change or touch your internal system so you are safe. Also its already prepared for you so you just need to burn the img into the sd.
If inserted, the sd image will boot to either Phiremod (which is really a themed version of CM7 7.02 - with the update provided in the same thread or to Honeycomb). I use it and works quite well!!!! It is fast also (provided you use the recommended Sandisk class 4 sd card) as it is overclocked from the sd which you also want.
When I want to use stock BN I just boot without the sd and thats it! I also rooted the internal BN as well to add overclock to the stock BN 2.2 and it is quite snappy when OC to 1.1 mhz.
Hi Garoto! that's good to hear! can you point me to the thread for rooting the internal BN and adding overclock to the stock 2.2? i want to try that as well

Sure no problem:
1. To root the 1.2 version Nook just follow the steps in this thread, it is not as complicated as it sounds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
2. To install the OC Kernel I used this thread. Pretty simple process. After you root , go to the market and install ROM manager, then do flash clockwork and then reboot to recovery, then do update from zip in sd card and flash the OC Kernel. I used the 1,1 mhz as it is stable and really speed things up:

Keep in mind, overclocking definitely technically voids the warranty (as does rooting). Since you mentioned it. Just as bad as installing stuff on the internal EMMC.

Hey guys,
I am on CM7 i was on 7.0.2 official version. i downloaded and installed the beta update from dalingrin's so i am no on:
Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-RCO-encore-KANG
I then installed the OC kernel that i was under the impression should overclock to 1.2 but when i try to overclock in the CM7 settings, the most it will let me choose is 925. i'm wondering if i'm missing something?
i used the following zip for the kernel:
update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-052311.zip
any help would be appreciated, i would post in the actual thread but i don't have enough posts.
thanks
EDIT: All fixed, needed to download and install the eMMC version so that it would install to internal memory instead of trying to boot off the sd card.
First off, glad you posted in the right section Already ahead of the curve!
So, did you install the beta to and SD or internal memory? I assume internal memory, in which case you need to download the OC that has eMMC in the title (which is the internal memory).

haha I know how the forums work I just haven't used this one that much
I installed both through the sd in the same clockwork session...should I have booted after installing cm then installed the oc kernel?

The zip for OC when you have CM7 installed to eMMC (internal memory) is update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-052311.zip
OC-sd nomenclature is for those who have CM7 installed and booting off their SD card, instead of just using it for storage space.

Oh ok, i thought that since i was installing through the sd that was the sd version. got it. i'll download the emmc version and install from the sd.
thanks so much guys
Thanks for your help guys running 1.1 now, 1.2 caused reboots but 1.1 is prefectly fine with me
thanks again still learning the whole sd card stuff. i'm coming from the dx and we just put the zip on the sd and install, no booting of sds and that stuff.
but i'm learning
I have a nook color rooted (1.1) and i am trying to figure out how to go to 1.2. what i dont understand is the distinction/differences between manual nooting to froyo (going back to stock, doing the B&N upgrade, then the manual nooter to reroot) VS using CM7. What are the differences, advantages, disadvantages... would either get me froyo? do i have to go back to stock for either? or is it just two different approaches to the same end. can anyone can point me to a place to read up on this without having to read the entire site would be highly appreciated. thanks
Try this
I autonooted my NC back in February and avoided the upgrade, renooter process waiting until a new autonooter program came out (which it has not). So about 2 weeks ago I tried verygreen's sd-card mount of CM7 together with Dalingren's OC kernel. It is fantastic! Not at all hard to do either.
The Nook application from the android market is better than the native version, and, of course, I am also running Kindle and about 20 apps.
So while I cannot really answer the specifics of your question, I can encourage your through my own personal experience to try what I did.
Good luck.

CM7 is gingerbread, or Android 2.3 and is a whole new OS. Your current 1.1 is Eclair (Android 2.1) and the new 1.2 stock is actually Froyo (Android 2.2).
The best way to go to 1.2, if that is your destination, is to go back to stock first, then upgrade to 1.2 via B&N and then do manual nooter. There are instructions on that whole process in the manual nooter link.
If you want to go to CM7, there's no point in even talking about 1.2 - they are completely different animals. You can either use a dual boot, CM7 on an SD card, or flash CM7 directly to the nook. I've never messed with dual boot, but you'll need a bootable SD card for most of the above anyway (look in the CM7 link above or here)
Now - the differences...
CM7 is pretty much wide open. The devs pour a lot of time into it so it has bluetooth, usb hosting and all kinds of other stuff. However, it's a whole different interface and isn't really meant to be a reader (the B&N android market app/reader just don't cut it compared to the stock ones, by most accounts). I like to think of it as CM7 is a cheap tablet that can be a reader and rooted stock as a reader than can double as a tablet. Both have overclocking kernels.
Personally, I prefer rooted stock, which is what's on all 3 of the ones in my family. But to each his own. Hope that helps you...
Yes, I should just read the threads, but...
Anyone wanna comment on...
1) dualbooting (nooted) stock w/CM7 on SD card, vs 2) CM7 flashed to NC...
...and 3) dualbooting CM7 flashed to NC, with (nooted) 'stock' on SD card?
I believe I read you can put stock on the SD card? Can you put (nooted) stock on SD?
Is there much difference/advantage to running CM7 flashed vs on SD card?
(not talking about stock OS availability, just the CM7 installation method/residence.)
How much SD space used by OS? Any hardware diffs/limits besides perhaps speed?
If dualbooting with SD card... such as 32GB ...can you use full capacity for OS, apps, storage? whether CM7 or stock is on SD card.
With stock on the NC... it's neatly official/updatable/resellable, with extra value SD card(s).
With stock on SD, it's a fallback... for a modded added-value 90+% 'tablet'.
Guess I'd lean toward (nooted) stock on NC, with CM7 (etc!) on SD's... unless CM7 flashed to NC would operate USB/bluetooth... so much better...?
CM7 on SD card will run slower than internal. Depending on your SD card, it may or may not be acceptably slow.
Here is something for the best of both worlds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156909
Or you can take the easy way and use stock for a few days. Then root it for a few days. And then try CM7 for a few. See which one you like most and keep it.
Ah, multi-boot...
Thanks for the multiboot link... now, there's a project. Have to take me NookC down for a bit... set aside time for that! Titanium bkp first. Test a spare SD card setup. Then plunge.
cm7 vs stock rooting
Thank you all.i set up cm7 on a16GB SD card and I would never go back. It is a much fuller and richer tablet experience. and bluetooth works though range is so short as to be unusable. starrting to get force close errors so I fixed permissions with root explorer which helped some. Now I have decided to flash cm7 to nook directly. speed has not been a problem but want to overclock... and other posts indicated that doing so will largely eliminate the fc errors.. the addiction begins. Thank you all again for the advice and encouragement. Btw one of the biggest pluses is that with cm7 I could install dsp and the sound from the speaker can now be easily heard. I actually h ave to turn it down sometimes because too loud if u can believe that!
