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.

Haha yup... just wanted to know as a "just in case I feel brave enough to void my warranty" haha!
I picked up a new Nook Color running software version 1.2.0 and would like to get Honeycomb running off an sd card. I tried deeperblue's approach. The files transferred to the card, I inserted it into the slot and turned on the Nook. The screen stayed black, then said loading for a second. After that the screen was still black and just said 'Android_' down the right side in a small font. I let it sit for a while (10-15 min?) before shutting down the Nook.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a different approach I should be taking?
Thank you!
I actually did the same thing. I was able to get the Android screen but I have no access to Wifi. I noticed no one answered here but have you since found a solution. I also sent an email to the Developer I purchased the card from. If I get help from there, I will send it on to you.
This will teach me not to try to do this stuff when I should be sleeping... My issue with the blinking 'Android_' on the screen was due to the SD card not being pushed in all the way. Try that... it worked for me.
I am still curious if there is a newer/better honeycomb mod to run off the sd card.
Create one of those bootable Clockworkmod SD cards.
Any 512MB or 1GB micro-sd should work just fine.
Once you create it and boot with Clockworkmod - do a full nandroid backup of your Nook.
Once thats done - copy the nandroid backup dump to your computer and burn a couple copies to CD's or DVD.
That way, you can go ahead and test and flash whatever Rom you want to your Nook,
and you can always restore it back to factory default.
BUT - big BUT - do not flash Clockworkmod to your Nook!
Always clockworkmod boot off the SD card.
That way its always easy to recover back to stock.
I was running nookie froyo off a 16GB - class 6 SD card and it was OK, but still slow.
Running off the internal memory is MUCH faster.

The source code is not available for Honeycomb so there will never be a newer/better mod. If you really like the look of Honeycomb, run CM7 with a Honeycomb theme.

I am attempting to install Nookie Comb onto my Nook. I have read asnd attempted to follow the instructions given at:

The problem is: it appears that the instructions are not entirely complete.
The instructions include the following steps:
NOTE: Flash with the latest ClockworkMod Recovery/via ClockworkMod Recovery SD or standard Clockwork Recovery 3.0.1.0. This version is fully compatible with any Clockwork used for Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (see the Nookie Froyo page here)
* Copy "NookieCombvXXX.zip" to the root of your SD
* Place SD in nook and power on
* Format SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE (You do not need to wipe if coming from a previous version!)
* Flash Nookie Comb
* Once finished flashing, unmount your sdcard, remove from the slot and reboot.
after searching for several hours, I was able to find a Clockwork Recovery version 3.2.0.1 (though only for 1 GB! Are there any versions in existence for larger SD cards???).
I performed the necessary work with imaging, copied the NookieComb zip file (0.4.13) to the SD crd, and used it to boot my Nook. That is when I ran into the other problem: how on Earth do I "flash" the Nookie Comb???
Using various searches, I have been looking for instructions on how to do this. I have fond none, on this site or anywhere else. There are no "flash" commands on the Recovery application. I am seeing people referring to having done the "flashing" but no one describes how this was done. Worse: without this "flashing" my Nook will not boot to the new OS.
Will someone *please* tell me what I need to do in order to do this "flashing"???
Thank you...

That is the only one you need.
The procedures were written in March, it was right at that time but a bit outdated now since CwM has released few more newer versions and B&N did release new versions of NC.
"flash/flashing ROM" refers to replace/replacing the currently stock ROM (by saying)
However, by doing, it is the "install/choose zip from the SD card"
Then I have a real problem...
I was able to do the "Choose Zip from SD card" operation (which is apparently no different from my previous successful installation of the Phiremod system), and successfully installed the Nookie Comb zip file.
The problem seems to occur when I remove my SD card (as instructed) and do the reboot. The Nook briefly shows the Cyanogen logo (!??) and then it appears to hang!
Am I missing something here? The Nook becomes totally unresponsive and its screen looks like it is off...
Please advise.

Actually, I disagree. I want to put different zips on the SD card for research purposes (I want to develop some Android applications and test them using different software configurations). With a 1 GB limit, granted the zips are relatively small but if I have a bunch of them for different Android versions, plus backups of different user and system configurations, a 1 Gb SD card will run out of space fairly quickly.
There really does need to be different images for different SD card sizes.
How are these images made? Maybe I can make some and make them available... ?

Just use that .zip and then use something like EaseUs Partition Manager (free) to stretch the partition to the size that you need and to create additional partitions. Earlier versions have issues with the blue dot device partitions as well as doing proper data/system and cache wipes.

All you have to do is use EASUS or MiniTools Partition Manager to resize to claim the rest of the SD space.
Personally I wouldn't install Nookie Comb as it is outdated and made from an Incomplete SDK as Honeycomb was never Open-Sourced. Better to install CM7.1 while we wait for the Andtoid 4.0 ICS source to be released in Nov. and the inevitable Port of it to the Nook come Dec/Jan if not sooner. CM7 is more then enough for now and includes special "tablet tweaks" just for the Nook Color including "Honeycomb-esque" Bar buttons for Home, Menu, Back, ect...

I did solve my installation problems. I ended up doing a restore of the original Nook system, then running the reinstall once again.
It turned out that there was apparently something on my original Phiremod installation that screwed up the Nookie install...
In any event: japzone, I am wondering about the "incomplete" SDK that Nookie Comb is based on. Would that incompleteness include non- working location capabilities? Apparently, not only do they always seem to fail on this OS, but there are some minor network and email annoyances,as well (and I really don't like the awful keyboard!).
One thing that is good, though: some of the more advanced readers and Honeycomb- based applications seem to work well on Nookie Comb. Also: with Nookie Comb's booting off the Nook instead of the SD card, I have more space for things I want to put on it. Nookie Comb's power handling is better, too. With Phiremod I needed to charge my Nook every day. With Nookie Comb I am doing a charge every third day -- even when I am heavily using my Nook.
In all, aside from the annoyance of failing location services and a bad keyboard, I am pretty happy with Nookie Comb...
I am, however, open to looking at better installations. What version of Android does the CM7 you are suggesting run? If it isn't Honeycomb (and you seem to be implying it isn't) then aside from it being based on a stable Android version, what advantages does it have over Nookie Comb?
FYI, Pat:
EASUS does not work. It does allow you to change partition sizes on different devices, but it does not do this for FAT partitions -- which are the only partition that you can boot a Nook on...

Nookie Comb is built on the SDK of Honeycomb and not the AOSP source since the source for it wasn't available until a few days ago when Google decided to dump it at the same time they released the Source for it's successor 4.0 ICS. Theoretically NookieComb could be patched using the now released source but most Developers are focusing on ICS now that it's out as Honeycomb was long ago marked as a Stop-gap by Google and lost cause to make a stable port by Devs. If you really want tablet specific apps on your Nook NookieComb is your only option right now but other than that there is no Reason to switch to the Far more Stable and more Advanced CM7.1.
It's up to you. If NookieComb fufills what you need and you can live with the Bugs which will most likely never be fixed, go ahead and stick with it until ICS is ported to the Nook. However I and most other people here would reccomend switching to CM7.1(built on Android 2.3.x) as it has far more support, larger feature set, and is much more stable.
PS: If you were wondering, yes, CM7 has the Notification Soft-Keys just like NookieComb so no need for Softkeys or Button Savior.

Some quick questions
Japzone:
1. Does CM7 run off the nook or off the SD card? My previous Phiremod installation needed an SD card in order to run; Nookie Comb does not. Does CM7?
2. How is CM7 for power? Phiremod ate up power so fast that I had to charge my Nook every day. How long can you run CM7 between charges?
3. The Phiremod installation also had Bluetooth and Location services. The location services worked but Bluetooth apps and configuration always crashed when I tried to use them. How well do they work on CM7?

1- CM7 can be installed to Nook internal emmc or by using verygreen's "size agnostic installer" can be installed to MicroSD. verygreen's installer auto sizes the install to fill entire SD no matter the size and allows easy updates to CM7
2- CM7 has had most of the battery issues ironed out for awhile now.
3- Bluetooth works fine on CM7, I've used a Wii Remote as a game controller without issue and pairing with other Bluetooth devices posed no issue. Only problems are the Short range(caused by the lack of a Bluetooth antenna in the Nook), and it will sometimes refuse to come on because of the hardware situation, solution is to turn off wifi and do a hard reboot then turn Bluetooth on first before WiFi.
I personally boot off SD because it allows me to easily switch to the StockOS if I feel like it and if something happens to my Nook I have less things I have to do before taking it in for repair. I've never really noticed a difference in speed because of usind an SD. A Class 4 Sandisk or Class 6 Generic cards work fine.

Are you saying that NokieComb is actually *not* Android 3 based? That Froyo is actually an earlier Android version???
This is important for me to know, because my main reason for even looking at NookieComb was I was looking for a later Android version. I had thought that Froyo was based on Android 3. Was this an incorrect belief???

No I was saying that Honeycomb wasn't OpenSourced until recently. NookieComb was based off of the Android 3.x SDK(SoftwareDevelopementKit) for Honeycomb and SDKs don't include alot of important pieces of code. IceCreamSandwich however has been OpenSourced and released under AOSP(AndroidOpenSouceProject) so it'll be much more stable within a few months of Devs working on it.
Here are Android versions by number:
2.1=Eclair(AOSP)
2.2=Froyo(AOSP)
2.3=Gingerbread(AOSP)
3.0/3.1/3.2=Honeycomb(Closed-Source Tablet Only)
4.0=IceCreamSandwich(AOSP)

Japzone:
1. My last question wasn't directed at you. It was directed at luigi90210, who seems to be saying that no: Nookie Comb is not based on Honeycomb, but on Froyo.
2. And it sounds like you are incorrect. If what luigi90210 says is true, and if Froyo is actually the base for Nookie Comb, then Nookie Comb is actually based on Android 2.2 (since, as you point out, Froyo *is* Android 2.2).
3. My problem was that I didn't know what Froyo was. I only knew about Android 2 and Honeycomb -- I didn't know the names of the different point versions. As it turns out, what luigi90210 said is correct (since I first received the instructions that I was complaining about from the Nookie Comb Thread): Nookie Comb is, as its author says in the Nokie Comb thread, based on Froyo, not Honeycomb.
In actual fact, luigi90210 has given me the best reason for following your suggestion of switching to CM7: that Nookie Comb is based on an even earlier version of Android, meaning that there are actually no Honeycomb- based systems available for the Nook. There is, consequently, no reason for me not to go to CM7...

edit: Its been awhile since i made a sd rom....so far i have made the sdcard from This and i dont exactly understand how to do the rest of it properly, my nook color is on the cm7.2 kang build with mirage kernel and in Leap's instructions it says

So the procedure to get this working is to prepare a verygreen SD using the image file attached to my SD installation instructions thread here (generic-sdcard...). Then boot it at least once with the SD installed in the Nook so the SD can partition itself. If you have an existing verygreen SD prepared, you can skip those two steps. Copy the zip files to somewhere that recovery can find them. If you use the newest versions of CWM or TWRP recovery they can read files from emmc media storage. Boot to recovery and insert the prepared verygreen SD into the Nook. Flash the ROM zip to the SD. It will format the system and data partitions on the SD and install the ROM. Boot to the SD and the new stock ROM should load. Follow the directions to register with B&N. Once you have registered you can stop there if you are satisfied with plain stock. But be warned, if B&N decides to update to a new version in the future, it may mess up whatever you have installed on emmc. Therefore I recommend that you flash the Block Updates zip which blocks OTA updates. If you flash Manual Nooter you do not have to flash Block Updates separately since it is included in Manual Nooter. To install Block Updates, Manual Nooter or OC/apps2SD support, flash the zips to the SD with recovery just like you did the ROM. If you flash Manual Nooter, it has gapps and Market with it so you must register them with Google. And you need root if you want to the OC and apps2SD support, plus you will need a program like SetCPU to adjust the processor.
You can get the modified 1.4.3 B&N stock ROM zip here, the modified Manual Nooter zip here, the modified OC/apps2SD zip here, and the modified Block Updates zip here (all four modified for verygreen SD installation).

I have done the partitioning on the sdcard so it now has the 4 partitions in it....the nook is running CWM 3.2.0.1 emmc recovery. I've downloaded all 4 zip files, but i only plan on putting the stock nook, and manual nooter (leap says it includes the update blocker) on it

You need to update your emmc recovery to a newer version so that you can flash those zips from internal memory (emmc media). You will run into problems finding the files with 3.2.0.1 since you have to take your normal SD out and put your verygreen SD in.
So flash this zip:

Then copy the downloaded files to emmc media, boot to the new CWM and select the files from internal memory and flash them to your inserted verygreen SD.
EDIT: I just updated my instructions in my tips to make that clearer. Thanks.

Ok, ive put the bandn 1.4.3 rom zip onto the emmc of the nook color and the manuak nooter in the same place. Im running the cwm you linked and i can now select them, my questionnow is: when it says install zip from sdcard i scroll down and select the choose zip from internal and it finds both zips....after i booted to cwm i inserted the verygreen sdcard, how will i know the stock nook will flash to the sdcard and not the internal?

I have built in safeguards to make sure that won't happen. If no SD is in the slot, it won't flash, if the SD in the slot is not formated with 4 partitions, it won't flash. And when it finally does flash, it is hard coded to go to SD. Flash away. First ROM then a little later after you have registered and let it finish loading books, the manual nooter.

cool ....i dont know if its normal or not but it does seem to take forever to download the books, when i wsa using the android app it didnt seem to take as long....maybe they are just have server bugs or something?
i think after the books are done downloading then ill root it.

It took me a very long time to download the books and I have a fast connection. I think B&N just pushes them out slow for stock. Other stuff downloads fast, like once you are rooted and you download apps from play store.

hmm...now im having problems redownloading some books that started to download, but i turned the nook off when i went out to dinner and now i cant tell if the books that were downloading are actually continuing to download or not...would it be possible to download the books on the cm7.2 android app and then copy them over to the nook sd?
Brah....dang it...I messed up by accidently hitting the erase and deregister button.....it didn't seem to erase anything, but it did deregister it...would I have to remake the SD and then reflash the rom again? (Not that it is a big deal or time consuming to do lol)
