Good day all. I recently bought a Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 along with gapps 20110613 from a 16gb SanDisk class 4 SD. When set up the apps (after enabling wifi) I got an error, due to the fact that my sucky router dropped the signal. As a result of this I was not able to download gmail, google maps, etc. My android market runs perfectly but I wanted to flash gapps so as to download gmail and the others. I went into ROM manager and updated to the latest CWM. However, no matter what I do I can't but into recovery. I tried n+power button, reboot into recovery from the power button menu, and from within ROM manager. All no go...it just booted into CM7, so I removed the SD card to boot into stock Nook 1.2 software. When I did this it brought me to the CWM recovery menu (SD card not in). Of course I could not select anything on the menu. Put back in the SD while still in the menu to try select an option but nothing. Shut it down by holding the power button and booted it back up and it went str8 into CM7. Shut down took out SD and it booted into stock Nook 1.2 software. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm trying to flash the overclock kernel and reflash gapps. THANKS
Could the reason gmail, youtube, googlemaps didn't install on setup be due to the fact that I'm not in the USA? If so I'd still like to know what the problem is so I can flash the overclock kernel.
No one has any idea? I know one option is to backup and redo everything, but I'd really like some troubleshooting ideas before.
Did you use the 1.3 image from verygreens thread? If so the old 7.0.* stables are not supported. You will need to back up and redo it either with the old image or a new CM7 version.

Yea I used the 1.3 in the thread with 7.0.2. What version cm7 would I need to use with the 1.3? 7.0.3 or a nightly,? Where would I be able to find an older image to work with 7.0.2 and what version of the image should it be?
The 1.3 image won't work with any 7.0.* versions. You should upgrade to either a recent nightly or the 7.1.0 RC. You could find an older image somewhere but there isn't much of a point as you would have to redo it all anyway so why not upgrade? Plus your battery life will improve by a lot as 7.1 RC and the nightlys have deep sleep.

As I said many times to newbie who runs CM7 off uSD that do not or should not mess up with ROM Manager. In fact, there are members also confirm that if booting off uSD, ROM Manager has no effect.
Based on what you, OP, described, you had flashed the CwM into the internal memory.
Keep your fingers crossed as I do hope you didn't screw up anything else.
Anyway, using verygreen's 1.3 image along with the latest nightly-built CM7 and the latest 06132001 gapps and boot it off uSD again. You should be fine.
Before that, fix your home wireless network first.
I decided to just go with 7.1RC1 since I wanted the better battery life. Is there a way to check about the CWM on the internal and how would I go about removing it if I did? I ask for warranty purposes ofcourse since I opted for the 2 year extended one. Also to flash upgrades and such, since you don't recomend using ROM manager then how should I go about doing it (i.e. overclocking kernel)?

1. I never have any issue related to battery with any nightly build that I've ever used. I am currently having the nb153 and it is fantastic.
2. Check CwM and how to remove off the internal memory? I don't know any quick way except restoring the original ROM.
Again, for warranty purposes, strongly suggest running off uSD
3. Updating by loading/copying/dragging the updated files onto the root folder (aka "boot" partition), then TRY loading into Recovery by:
a. combination of power/N buttons if you have skill or
b. let it boot normally into CM7, wait until completely loaded, then reboot and select "recovery" option. Keep yr fingers crossed. This is an easy method but if it doesn't work then option a is the only choice.
Sorry the battery issue was as compared to the current CM7 stable not the nightly. I got everything installed so far besides the overclock kernel. So I will try your recommendation for booting into recovery not using ROM manager.
You don't flash anything when running off an sd card you just boot into recovery and then reboot. Easiest way to get the overclock kernel would be to just upgrade to the latest nightly.

Ok, the more reading I do the more confused I get.
I have a nook 1.3 that I bought for my son. The reason I chose the nook was because I could put the market on it and give him the games he's always playing on my phone. I'd LIKE to keep the stock reader as well because he's only 7 and I like the read to me feature on it as well. My first attempt to root was an abject failure, and now with 1.4 coming out I'm totally lost.
From my poking around here is some of what I gather:
Some of that I gather is:
The market doesn't work when you use the current root files on 1.4. Or does it? There doesn't seem to be a consensus
Some nooks with 1.3 get the boot loop when using the two "current" nooter files (that's what I experienced), but you can use the older file and just have an older market
At this point, I'd really like to know what my options are. Right now I'm sitting at 1.3, and may (or may not...I think I might have goofed the first root process up) have one of those nooks that hangs. My #1 priority is the market, and #2 (or maybe 1A) is keeping the reader. What are my options for this? Or do I just create a bootable SD card and give him a plain Android tablet until this all washes out?

May I suggest you start from the beginning. Samualhalff here has a great utility to take you to pristine stock. Apply the 1.3 update and use your bootable uSD, install Gapps (latest) and go a step at a time.
I've had success with the above ending up in CM7 7.0.0.3. You'll always have the "reader" using Aldiko, B&N or whatever you choice is.

Ok, I guess it's time to display my ignorance.
First of all I think I AM at pristine stock, but what do I know? The nook came with 1.3 on it (just got it last week), and after my isues trying to root it the only way I was able to get it back working after beein stuck in the boot loop was with the "8 failed boots" method. My understanding that was akin to a factory reset so it was back to just like it was out of the box.
So that brings me to:
- I don't need to apply any updates to get it to 1.3, right?
- When you talk about my bootable uSD card, exactly what do you mean? The only thing I've created is the CockWorksRecoveryMod SD card to apply the ManualNooter files.
- I'm not sure what Gapps is (and I feel like I should)
- If I flash a rom, I understand I can download the B&N (or whatever) Android software, but I though the color stock reader (and only the out of the box reader) had the feature where it could actually read some books to you (a feature I think might be nice for a 7 year old)

OK. Guess maybe I mis-read your post! My fault!
Personally I have never gotten the "hang" of 8 Failed Boots. I have just wiped /data and /system then loaded stock.
If you are at stock 1.3 (and unrooted and no CWM) you can verify in Settings if you wish but it sounds as if you are.
Format your uSD using this. Then follow these directions. This will give you a good format on your card and help you create a working bootable uSD.
I post this as I have seen many uSD card not formatted correctly (never use windows format or your device to format..often corrupts)
You can also load whatever ROM you wish to instalkl on the card but flash it only after you have rooted and installed CWM.
Gapps is Google Apps. Installs Market.
HTH!

I tried to load stock back, but it seems that ANYTHING I tried to do (including the root) resulted in a boot loop on the "nook color" screen. It seemed that nothing I tried to do did anything but make it loop until I found the faild boot trick. I was even getting an error just trying to wipe the data, which had me worried.
When you talk about loading a ROM on the card and "flashing" it, is that to replace the nook OS with the ROM? I don't think I want to do that now since I'd like to keep the stock reader.
Ideally I'd like to just root and get the Market, but after my first failed attempt, learning that 1.4 is on the horizon, and that some 1.3 nooks seem to get the nook boot loop when using ManualNooter, I'm a little gun shy. At this point I'm thinking I may want to wait until someone has a stable root process for 1.4.
Does the nook have to be rooted if I want to boot an OS from the SD card? I'm thnking that may be my best compromise at this point.

Understand. Actually 1.4 is available right now for download from the Support section on BN site. If you wish, go ahead and get it, load it to the root of your NC, let it go to sleep and it will update automatically for you. (Directions on the BN site) If you wish to load CM7 for instance, you may wish to reload 1.3 for now as I don't see a 1.4 version yet.
Once that is done you will be at stock 1.4 (if you go that way). And yes, you can load your choice of ROM from the uSD. One of the really neat things about the NC is that it boots first to the uSD then to the internal. There are several choices in the Development section to choose from. Try out several and pick the one you like (I prefer CM myself) Keep in mind that booting from the uSD will not be as fast as if it was loaded to your internal but doing this will also keep your stock safe. And no, you need not be rooted to boot from uSD.
For example..... verygreen.
Let me know how it goes!
Ok, cool. So it sounds like my plan for now is to get 1.4 then boot off of an SD card. When and if we can root it successfully, I'll make that jump.
I asked this in another thread, but I'll do so hear as well. What happens to apps I download while booted from the card? Are they installed on the card or the nook internal memory? And if it's the nook memory, what happens when I boot to the nook?

Golly. It's been so doggeone long since I ran anything off the uSD....if I remember right.....Ya know....I believe everything runs from the uSD. I would sideload the apks. Lemme think about that one. That was like Months before last Christmas lol
For what you want, I would just do a MN Root of the stock Nook software. Then you wouldn't have to deal with switching back and forth between CM and stock.

That's my long term goal. but is the root on 1.4 working yet? I tried to do the MN root (but may have missed a step) on 1.3 and got into a boot cycle. I was thinking I'd just let it upgrade then once all the 1.4 stuff was figured out do a root then

From what I've read the 1.4 doesn't have reliable root yet. So you have two choices really. Leave as is and wait (I'm betting root will come to 1.4 eventually) or wipe (system/data) back to 1.3, load and MN/AN.

I'm not sure about the progress of a 1.4 root but I do know that 1.2 is very easy to root as you only have to flash one file.
So unless you really want the small added features of 1.4 I would just revert to 1.2 and stay there until a 1.4 root is finalized.

In doing this nooter on a 1.2 are you still able to have flash and the netflix app work? or do you have to have 1.3 or 1.4? I see 1.4 is bnn making netflix available, but im guessing if you root on a 1.3 you can gain access to the app? is it the same for 1.2? I have the netflix.apk file to sideload in either case. Just curious before I go wiping my nook and starting fresh (was gonna go with cm7 on a disk dual boot with 1.4) or go to 1.3 and manual nooter

Sure can. I ran Netflix on 1.3 (and I'm thinking 1.2 also) but I believe due to a small glitch one needed to modify the build.prop file. Very easy to do really And it works! The posts should still be in the forum. Search Netflix. That should get you what you need.

Girevik, we exchanged messages on this topic in another thread. I wanted to let you know I've had some success with rooting 1.4.1 to the point that it might be suitable for what you want. See message 92 in this thread.
In short: You can sideload apps and run them in the B&N Walled Garden. You can't download or refresh apps, but you can work with sideloaded books and apps. It's not 100% stable yet, but I think with careful selection of sideloaded apps, it may be.

I think I saw that. I'll take a closer look, but to be honest right now I think my son will be be more likely to use the the straight Android boot to have access to the games he's always playing on my phone. I'm hoping that will change, but as this point I'm thinking I'm better off waiting until I can get the Market and Amazon Appstore on 1.4 and just getting the stuff he's used to playing with. I'd really like him to use the BN reader, but realistically I don't know how much he'd use that right now.
Frankly, it comes down to me not really wanting to go through the effort of sideloading the games he plays. I'd really just like to get it connected to the Market and Appstore and downaod the stuff he uses.
If I were you, I'd create a CWR bootable and flash CM7 or one of the other many available ROMs (possibly MIUI, I heard it's pretty top notch, somewhat akin to the layout of iOS). I find the NC's OS somewhat distasteful. I believe Dalingrin once said that he knew the NC better than its creators. Anyways, personal bias coming into account, I flashed CM7.1 and never looked back. It's completely up to you. If you do choose to take my advice, there are alot of good devs who can help you out with the process. Dalingrin and Fattire are 2 of my favorite devs.
I used to have a forum signature... then I took an arrow to the knee.
I've got a nook color that I originally set up for my sister around a year ago. It's got an old version of miui installed directly to the internal memory. (android version 2.3.4) She never used it, and now it seems like it is way out of date, and can't get anything worthwhile on the market for it, not even angry birds for her kids to play. There is nothing worthwhile on the tablet, so I don't care about losing any data on it. I am trying to update it with a newer rom and running into nothing but problems. It's rooted and I know I put clockwork mod on it, but if I boot into recover the screen just goes black. I try to download clockwork mod from the market to make sure it is up to date but it won't cope up when I search for it. I try to put anything bootable on the SD card and the nook won't power on. Can anyone help me get this thing straightened out?
You will not find clockworkmod recovery on the market. Try opening ROM Manager from your apps drawer. It should find an up to date clockworkmod for the nook color and download and install it for you. If you cannot find ROM Manager, you can install that from the market. Use ROM Manager to boot to clockworkmod. Then you can flash other roms.

Check this thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700105
Basically it says that the 'playstore' has stopped working on MIUI. I would suggest downloading the lastest stable of cyanogenMod for your nook color and the latest .gapps for it. Make sure you are using Clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 for the nook color , all of these files are available through a google search.
Here on the forums here is the link for Recovering your eMMC. DO NOT layer a cyanogenMod build over a MIUI build, it will hose out your kernel base. That means you will have to backup your data with clockworkmod as a nandroid backup and wiping your data and caches on that eMMC. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759558
I've been using a N2A card to run CM on a Nook HD+. Yesterday I rebooted into the native Nook operating system and upgraded with Google Play support.
The good part is that the apps I got from Google Play are available. I even loaded Nova Launcher to bypass the B&N home screen. It is working well so far. The only trivial problem is that at times (such as going into the settings menu) it does ask again which home screen is wanted.
It also seems faster and more stable. I get a lot of crashes with the N2A card. (The seller did send me a beta late last week which I haven't had a chance to test yet). However, this is not a fair comparison. I have lots of apps set up with the N2A card and very few when booting into the Nook and there is an excellent chance that the crashes come from some of my apps. (I don't mean this to be criticism of N2A--just looking at pluses and minuses of each way of using the tablet).
The negative side of using the new B&N software is that apps other than from the B&N store and Google Play remain blocked. The rare program which I purchased directly from the software writer, along with the few apps I got for free from Amazon which I actually use cannot easily be used unless repurchased from the Play store. I'm also finding that several apps which I got onto the N2A card are listed as not being available for the Nook thru the Play Store. Obviously the advantages of rooting are also lost, but this isn't as important to me on the tablet as on my phone (other than losing the ability to sideload apps).
I'm wondering about the experiences of others who load rooted ROM's from sdcards versus the new B&N software. Any differences in performance from running the operating system directly from the Nook as opposed to the sdcard, and any differences in stability?
If you want to be able to install third party apps in stock, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the Extras zip. It enables unknown sources so those are not blocked.
N2A gets their ROMs here so expect them to act the same.
Battery life is much better with stock. It deep sleeps a lot when the screen is off.

There's no problem installing third party apps when booting with N2A. I'm comparing the updated stock OS which now allows apps from Google Play but unfortunately doesn't allow installation of other apps. If it allowed for the installation of other apps I might give up on booting from the SD to get a rooted tablet and run it as a stock Nook.

I understood what you meant. I was saying you can fix that in the new version of stock by flashing that zip. And you can do that without rooting it.

How do you flash a zip with stock? It certainly doesn't allow that without modification (I would assume rooting).

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And yes, you can do it without rooting. You don't flash with stock, you flash to stock using a bootable CWM card. You can even use the CWM on your N2A card (assuming they left it there when they copied the ROM from here).

With Nook's 2.1 ROM for the HD+, is one required to revert back to stock ROM, update to 2.1, then reapply the Hybrid fix? I'm considering a straight up stock ROM install in any event given the deep sleep, stability and increased responsiveness reported by some, then reinstall the Hybrid SD.
I've read through this and other leapinlar threads (all excellent and worth the read in their own right) and if the procedure is explained, for those running the Hybrid HD, I missed it.
As kudos, Leapinlar's clear explanations, instructions and flashes are at the head of the class, any ROM class, and I've flashed plenty on various smartphones and tablets. Barnes and Noble would do well indeed to make him an offer he can't refuse!
Then again I'd selfishly prefer he'd refuse and continue on XDA.
I'm running CM10 Hybrid SD on the HD+.
Thanks.

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And yes, you can do it without rooting. You don't flash with stock, you flash to stock using a bootable CWM card. You can even use the CWM on your N2A card (assuming they left it there when they copied the ROM from here).

Just got the Nook HD+ today .. reading all the info here and leapinlar .. thank you so much for providing all the fantastic apps to make the tablet even better. I am assuming once I burn the CWM img file you reference in your post (NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.17.13).zip), and use CWM to install the Extras zip, I will be able to install Amazon Appstore on the stock Nook HD+. Also assuming this will also help me sideload apps to the stock Nook HD+.

You do not need to modify or reinstall Hybrid. Just update to 2.1.0. Hybrid will continue to work.

What about performance?
How does the stock updated Nook home compare to CM10 on SD? Which one is faster? Lag? other differences?
I'm interested to see the GPU performance on the HD+. Can anyone show me the HD+ running something like Blitz Buggy or Into The Dead on youtube? I'm very interested in this tablet, at the $179 pricepoint, but I need to know that it can perform first.

Sorry, I can't upload a clip but I have just downloaded and tested Buggy Blitz and it ran perfectly even with the graphics options turned up to max resolution. I saw no hint of frame rate slow down even when the screen was very busy. I hope that helps

I ended up going from Hybrid to straight stock, partly because I accidentally factory reset my CM10 install rather than stock when setting up the update, but also to escape the need to reboot back and forth. I like stock for magazines, but was doing everything else in CM10, and half the time when I picked up the tablet it would be on the wrong OS for what I wanted to do. The worst shortcoming of stock is lousy multitasking without ICS/JB Recent Apps. The stock Recent Apps only seems to register apps/media launched from the stock home screen, which I tried to like but ultimately found too dumb to live.
I accidentally turned off my HD+ when it was downloading the 2.1 update. Now when I boot into stock, I can't get the device to update again. In device information, it just shows the device is updating, but nothing happens. What can I do now to update to 2.1 via OTA?
Also, I'm running Hybrid cm10, is there a way that I can boot into stock without removing the sd card?

To boot into stock without removing the SD, when the cyanoboot logo comes up hold the n key, it will boot to stock.
Unfortunately when you interrupt the download or flash, it thinks it is completed and will not try again. I suggest you download my plain 2.1.0 stock zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. You should be able to flash that with the Hybrid CWM since the zip is hard coded to install to emmc. Do not do any wiping with it though, as it will wipe Hybrid instead of emmc. Just flash is all you need to do.

Running stock coming from CM10 on SD card. Have Apex installed and it is running smoothly. I am rooted with the Extras installed. One issue is that the Nook Video doesn't seem to want to play my UV movies. They start but just sit there in the buffering state. I got VUDU sideloaded so its not that huge of a deal.

I agree with you about stock being too limited. I have been running stock exclusively now since the 2.1 update was installed. I just wanted to see if I could get used to it. I have to admit that I like it a LOT more than the older versions. There are some highly annoying things about it though, which may send me back into the arms of CM10(x).
One of the things I don't like is the inconsistently placed back button, and the fact that it sometimes Disappears entirely as in the stock email app. The only way out of there is the nook (home) button. And the recently used apps is also not nice.
I'm not sure yet but I am getting close to deciding to go with 10.1 on emmc. Just giving myself some time with stock to see if there's anything I'll miss. I like the magazines on stock but haven't been using it for that, so I'm not sure I'd miss it. (I do have a couple print subscriptions that I also get on the nook, but I can probably live without)
I guess the only other thing I need to do is compare the stock nook reading app with the regular nook for android and see if I'd miss anything there. Also, does anybody know if there is a nook magazine reader for android that could act as a replacement for the one on stock?
I just find it amusing that on the same day we got this much more usable stock ROM, we also got the ability to completely remove it from our devices and replace it with CM on the emmc. I wouldn't be surprised if by this weekend I'm running straight cm10.1 on the emmc. Stock still has just a little too many annoyances for me to be completely happy with it. I don't want to "settle".

Hello XDA peeps.
I've had my Nook color for about 3+ years. Have had both my wife and mine running old versions of CM7 on the SD card without issue.
I recently dug mine out to set up for the kids (for a trip we're taking starting this weekend) and first installed CM10 (10.3 I think). loaded and was able to get apps running w/o issue but the poor old Nook and CM10 was so sluggish I felt it was just too much for this legacy device, so I reflashed to the CM7.2.0 [stable]
loaded just fine, but when I went to install GAPPS it installed fine, but will not allow me to access my account now.
no matter how many times I try, it tells me the password does not match for my account.
I know for a fact the password is the right one, and I can get on the Play store just fine on my Galaxy S3 using the same credentials.
I even reflashed the GAPPS to an older version and no luck.
Any thoughts? Really stuck here, since we're leaving Saturday morning and I want to have both Nooks up and running current versions of our boys fav games to pass the time. right now it has no app store, so it's pretty much a stripped Android tablet.

You said you were running CM7 on SD. How did you install the CM10? Then what did you do to get back to CM7? What wiping did you do?

I actually have the CM10 on the root of the device. I thought I had put it on the SD card, but didn't. (just found this out by accidentally powering on the tablet w/o the card in it)
So, currently downloading the CM 10.2.1 update (from 10.1.3), and perhaps it will fix the sluggishness.
I have a third stock Nook that I have not touched in years that I'm going to flash on the SD card...see if I can't get it to CM7.2 w/o any issues.
but previously I had wiped the card twice and attempted to Reinstall CM7.2.
I think the fault lies in the steps I was following to burn the SD card.
Told me to add the gapps AFTER installing CM7
I was pretty sure in the past I put both on the same SD at the same time.
or it is possible the Google two-step verification/authorization is not compatible with the older Market app. I can get on the Play store just fine on CM10 (but it did have me open in the browser to verify the device).

I don't think CM10.2 is going to help. CM7 is the best for NC. I would wipe the internal CM10 you have on there and install CM7 to internal. Be sure to put the right gingerbread gapps on there too.

yes, thank you. I feel anything higher than CM7 just boggs the processor on these dated tablets. For a kids' tablet, it's just fine and will run most of their games/books and it remains snappy. CM10 just feels overloaded. It is sluggish and slow to respond. I'll try to get it moved back to CM7.
I've been trying to flash the other Nook, but after much effort, I have not been able to get it to boot into recovery.
I have the same card set-up, but I cannot get it to start with the card....constantly goes to the B&N root.

Sometimes it is difficult to get the NC to boot from an SD. See my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read section A9.

Thanks Leapinlar,
Still running into issues. now on BOTH Nooks.
I was pretty sure I remember something about an updated B&N ROM that was signaled with a Green sticker on the box, which the troublesome boot one has.
I am using the generic_sdcard_v1.3.img + cm-7.2.0-encore.zip + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip all being burned via Terminal on Mac.
The only thing that has changed since I was dabbling with these in the past was the CM release.
I am not able to find my original bookmark of the tutorial I used to use (2+ years ago) so I think there might be a flaw in the instructions I'm following now. (for instance, the instructions I'm following now, the dd= command isn't proceeded by 'sudo' and without the sudo command, it errors out when trying to write the generic SD image to the disc (says disc is not available or locked).
gonna keep trying, because I want to get these up and working for our trip...we have 36+ hours of driving over the course of a week, so I know they'll get bored of looking at sights, reading books, watching DVDs, etc. Mainly for my own sanity, since I'll be driving.
**EDIT* i found the original tutorial I used years ago in my trove of bookmarks. It was the original GlassKeys tutorial. gonna give that a shot and report back with my success/errors.
Well, one thing, if you are going to use that old original image file you need to rename the CM zip to begin with update-. That will not help with the booting issue, but will make it so that image will recognize the CM zip.
I have an updated image zip in my updated instructions for NC SD installs linked in my signature.

Thanks. should have mentioned that I did rename the file to "update"
got my old CM10 to boot into Linux penguin and it seemed to be doing it's thing, after formatting the SD card following the GlassKeys instructions, but it is now booting to CM10 still by default and if I hold the "n" key for the boot menu on Cyanoboot and try to boot from SD card (normal or recovery) it just stays on that screen until I power it down.
as for the second, untouched Nook, I did the GlassKeys instructions to the SD card for that and it loaded to Penguin and went through all the install procedures, but now it still boots to the B&N emm setup screen.
wish I had never taken the other to CM10. now I have two Nooks that aren't acting properly.
thing that bugs me is the first one was running fine, just market wouldn't recognize my sign-in...now both are jacked.:silly:
SUCCESS!!!
So thank you goes out to leapinlar!!!
I dropped what I had been doing on my system as far as the files I was burning and read over all your FAQ and tutorial.
I downloaded the files in your how-to and had the tricky OE ROM flashed in a jiff!
The second one is installing now on the peguin screen and JUST now loaded to the CM7.2 bootloader screen.
Still used the GlassKeys instrucitons on how to burn via Terminal on OS X, but used your files (generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.zip )
My original issue, I have found through all this, was that the Market wouldn't allow me to sign in...well that is an issue with the 2-step verification for my Google account I had activated (someone tried to hack my account, so I had it on). Once I turned it off, I was able to open the market and sign in.
Thanks again for your help leapinlar....check this one off!
Going to update both tonight with our boys' fav apps and games and get ready to hit the road first thing Sat morning! :laugh:
If you want something newer I found that cm10.0 was pretty fast on nook color. Better than cm7. Anything newer I also found was to slow and laggy 10.1+. If interested the last nightly cm10.0 rom and gapps are over in the development fourm.
