Go here to learn how to make a single boot SD installation. Just sustititue CM9 wherever you see CM7.

Also use the generic image modified for the larger CM9 zip files. Get it here:

The newest one that does not say opengl. The opengl versions are experimental and less stable. You get more features with it, like flash player compatibility, but it is definitely less stable.

Yes, once you burn the image file to the SD the old dual boot is erased.

Put the burned card in your PC. It will show you the boot partition. Copy the CM9 zip there and put ithe card in the nook and boot. It will automatically add the new partitions to the SD and install CM9.
ok ill try it and see what happens
after i burned the image on the sd card and i try to copy the CM9 zip file its says it doesnt have enough space.....

You now need to put the card back in the computer and put the gapps flashable zip on it. Put it back in the nook and boot it into recovery on the SD card. It will install the play store.

Hey guys, when I installed ICS on my nook color, it won't ever let me get an app. I signed into my account, and out a few times. I restarted, I even installed it all over again but same results. It won't let me update an app, hell I think even surfing is going at snail-like pace.
So I bought a 4 gb card from ebay, and that one works perfectly even with a dual boot option. The problem is I cannot replicate that into a 16GB card, sigh. Did I do it wrong?

If you are talking about running CM9 off of an SD card, and the 4GB worked well and the 16 GB card kept giving you problems operating, then you have discovered what many before have found. Not all SD cards are created equal. There is a whole thread here on XDA that talks about how different brand and class cards make a difference in running ROMs on the nook. Size does not really matter, but brand and class do. They have found that SanDisk class 4 cards work the best, and cheap, so called higher class cards are the worst. The nook requires cards that give good performance writing many smaller files and higher class cards like 6, 8, and 10 do not perform well at that task. I bet your 16 GB card is a higher class or some no-name brand.

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.

If you are not using a sandisk sdcard, you should give a try:

this pny class 4 8 gig card is the only one i have im down to re root the whole thing if that is what it takes... i just wanna have something that works half way decent
I've had bad luck with the PNY cards.. Sandisk made it run really well.. amazing difference..

But the question now is, do you want to upset your stock OS or not?
Or is there a new way to install CM7 on your eMMC without interupting the stock OS?
My NC is still under warranty so I don't want to take the stock OS off yet, although I am very tempted to trade places, putting my stock OS on the SD card and CM7 (as I use it so much more) on the eMMC.
If you don't want to touch the stock OS yet, the sandisk is optimal for these units.
In fact, if you will dig around in posts about SD cards and CM on AD cards, you will find opinions and actual performance tests showing that CM from an SD card can be as fast as CM from eMMC... if you use the correct card.. which is a Sandisk class 2 or 4 of any size.. 2gb and up.
Don't ask me to point you to the posts.. I can't. I only remember reading these things when I was doing similar research.
For $10-20 you can give it a try and do something else if you are not happy.
.. or if you are sure you don't need easy access to stock, go for an eMMC install..
Neither solution is irreversible..
There's nothing the stock Nook can do that Android can't and there's probably a list somewhere of the things Android can do that the stock NC ROM can't but it probably wouldn't fit in this post. Search for 8+1, you can always fall back to "so clean the video wants to play".

Thats not an issue as you can always restore to stock if there is a problem. That is Part of the greatness of SD boot priority. You can restore no matter how screwed up your internal memory is.

The warranty is not really an issue as I found when I had to have mine replaced. You just restore it so stock. When you create your install image SD card save it in case you have to return your Nook. If that happens, just place the stock ROM .zip on the card and boot from it and wipe everything like you were installing CM7 all over again but instead just flash the stock ROM. It can be found here: http://www.multiupload.com/BW8FIEJ2GH (With thanks to Taosaur.)

I didn't follow all posts from the beginning so I just make assumption that you're booting CM7 off the Sandisk uSD.
No personal stuff should be placed in the boot partition. Place them in the left-over (/media) storage.
Just install it on the internal memory there are many great Tutorials on it.

I can tell you that I have been running CM7 with nightlies off the uSD card since I got it (3/11). Using an 8gb Sandisk is indistinguishable in speed from the stock system, but SUBSTANTIALLY more useful. Since my NC is still under warranty, all I have to do to "restore" it to stock is take out the uSD card. I love it, and it doesn't take you into the "restore to stock" mess that, while it works fine, is still pretty stressful.
Try a good Sandisk uSD; you probably won't need or want to flash your internal memory.
Gr, I have at this for hours.
I wanted to get the ICS sneakpeek running up on my nook. I had CM7 running on it. Here's exactly what I did.
1. I had CM7 on the SD card, using verygreens image. I've been using it for months, no problem, but decided I wanted ICS on it. So I backed up my apps and copied important stuff to my laptop.
2. Plugged the SD card into my laptop, and ran win32diskimager. I was planning on picking "Read" instead of "write", but it wanted me to write it to an image file.. Stupidly, I wrote it to verygreen's "generic_sdcard" image file. It probably won't work to reflash, but who care, I can just start over.
3. I put the SD card into the nook, to see what happened. It booted up, the linux penguin showed, couldn't find install image (obviously), blah blah blah...
4. Popped the SD card into the computer, and dropped sneakpeek fullofbugs1 on there. Booted up, fine, got into ICS.
5. Shutdown, SD card back in the computer, dropped fullofbugs2 on there. "Not enough space on the SD card".
6. Started Easus partition manager, with the intentions of resizing the BOOT partition. However, this is where the problems started. It would not let me resize it. I tried everything, and I could not, for the life of me, get it to resize. Is there something special I have to do? resize before placing CM9 on there? before ever placing it in the nook? I'm worried I'll mess it up and just have a normal nook again.
I'm no noob, I wrote this awhile ago. I'm pretty experienced in android.
Can anyone suggest anything? I'm pretty sure I probably need to resize before running the card in the nook.
TL;DR How can I expand the boot partition of my verygreen SD card? Do I have to do it before first inserting it into the nook after the image is written?
Thanks for any help!
I think you have to do it before

I would also like to do as you have done. What size did you have to make the boot partition for ics to fit properly? This is new for me since I didn't have to resize at all for cm7. I've been using cm7 for a few months but would really like to try ics on another micro sd I got just for this. Do I follow verygreens instructions except for adding sneekpeak as the nightly?

Make the boot partition about 200mbs, if I remember correctly the image defaults it to 117mbs. It only needs a little more space.
Also, yes you can follow verygreens instructions to make a bootable ICS micro card. I made and ran ics this way for about a week before commiting to the emmc install with nightly build 14 which is still rocking as my daily driver!

It should not make a difference whether the nook is a blue dot version or not a blue dot version. Before ruling out a bad SD card slot, make another bootable SD card using a different SD card and try it.

BN should fix it if under warranty, but they can refuse to fix it if the system works as they intended with stock firmware and sd card slot that reads/writes files stored on it. Maybe they can exchange for another unit if under warranty. Good luck.

B&N will not repair or replace it if it is reading SD's... the most likely culprit is a faulty write of the SD if you are trying a SD boot... You might also verify the type and class of SD.
You could also upgrade the stock ROM to 1.4.3 via flashable zip or sideloading via B&N website and try again.
