Check in Android Development the topics for double boot guide.
You could make an Sd card with both CM7 and CM9 and select which to boot every time.
For me, it doesn't worth to pass totally to CM9 as its not full stable.

If you decide to do this, make a dual boot. I'm 100% certain you'll want to go back to CM7 after you try the CM9 kangs...
If you have CM7 on the emmc (internal) you can flash the update just like any other update eyballer has a thread about the process. On SD the verygreen install script might not have enough room in the boot partition for the CM9 nightly.

Cm9 its not an update of cm7.
He will have to first wipe everything before the change to Cm9.

Not true, you can install a CM9 nightly over a CM7 system. Most settings stick, but some apps won't work right under any version of ICS.
I believe Viper is correct. Can't just update CM7 to CM9 since they are totally different OS, and even worse, entire different kernels.

Get the "modified" verygreen image, made by leapilar, it should be able to handle both CM7 and CM9.

Stolenmoment is correct. You really don't have to wipe data. Many people have done it without wiping first and had no problems. But it is probably a good idea to wipe anyway, just to be sure. Backup your installed apps with Titanium Backup and restore them later.
The cm9 install zip does not back up the cm7 gapps since they are the wrong version. Then it formats /system so it starts clean before it installs itself there. And it replaces the cm7 kernel with its own. So the only risk you are taking by not wiping data first is the old system settings are still there in /data and may not play well with the new cm9 system apps. But they almost always do ok. If they don't, wipe later.

So, we are saying the same thing.
Just that Wipe is not needed to be performed by user, cause install of Cm9 formats anyway the system.
But settings from previous system should be cleaned in order to be sure that new system will work fine.

Entire different OS and kernels, I don't believe we can say "CM9 is an update of CM7". They are 2 different things. Do you agree?

Yes, I agree they are different. And I never said 'CM9 is an update of CM7'. But it still does not change what I said above.
I've flashed a CM9 update straight over CM7 twice by accident (I'm always shuffling backups and rearranging things on my internal dual boot). The first time I was plagued with FCs, including Market/Play, but the second time everything worked just fine. My apps, launcher and homescreens were all just as I'd left them, but ICSed. With CM7 already running on my other partition set, though, I decided I'd rather build the CM9 side from scratch, so I wiped it.
I've been using CM9 nightlies as my daily driver for a couple months, and it's not as stable or fully featured as CM7. My main reason for sticking with CM9 despite performance issues is I love the ICS Google Apps, and most of the time I find my touch response is better (though that may be due to my running Nook Screen Recalibrate at various times on CM7), especially in Mantano Reader which is usually my biggest use for the NC.
I might have trouble using CM9 as my daily driver if I didn't have CM7 a reboot away, though, and I have had to make the switch on the fly more than once.
You can check out my dual boot guide in my sig, but it's one of the more involved things you can do with the NC (short of rolling your own ROM ).

Are you installing the correct kernel for your install? EMMC vs. SD?
Are you installing the kernel itself & not the MD5 file on the kernel page?
What versions of recovery and CM7 are you using?

I installed the SD kernel, and it installed fine....but nothing new showed up.
I installed the EMMC kernel, which was a bad idea...and just didnt load up CM7.
I installed the kernel itself, and put it on the root of the SD card, flashed it, cleared the cache and dalvic, but it still says i have the stock kernel that came with CM7
I have CM7.0.2-encore...im using an 8Gb class 6 SD card.
I also tried kernel manager from the market...and tried installing the kernel that way but it literally reset my device to the stock 1.2 update with no CM7....it was wierd, so wont be doing that ever again. Im restoring everything now so ill be back to where i started. Its OC at 925 now, but cant go up any higher which means im not installing the kernel correctly....ughhhh

Ok. If you were previously running a recent nightly build you should have also wiped system & data. Also check your version of recovery. Current version of Clockwork Recovery is 3.0.2.8....What version are you using? I had tons of problems with kernels over the weekend using and older version of recovery that I was too lazy to update. I updated it and my troubles went away.

Clockwork on EMMC will make your life much easier for everything. Flashing new roms, backing up, restoring, rebooting to recovery without having to change SD cards, etc...
That being said, I personally keep an sd card imaged with recovery, a rom, and gapps for uhh oh's, when I have to start over.
Follow that thread, first trying to use recovery from EMMC (if you can access it), if you can't access it use a bootable recovery sd (your uh oh card).....Some people say just wipe cache & dalvik, but the current CM7 nightlies and stable builds don't play nice when swapping back and forth.
Still dont know how to install the freakin kernellllll.UGHH>
So i updated my sd card to CMW 3.0.28, which is the newest. I downloaded the 4/24 SD kernel file and put it on the root of my SD. Backed up everything, flashed the kernel, wiped the cache and dalvic, rebooted the phone....and everything works like usual, except i still dont have the kernel apparently. In the Cm7 settings it still only goes up to 925 and in the info about the tablet it has kernel version 2.6.29-omap 1.....which is def not the one i flashed....any help?
P.S. im about to give up

Another idea....try downloading the kernel again. Could have been a corrupt download. If you've got everything backed up.....wipe system, data, cache, & dalvik then install your kernel through Clockwork (install .zip). Then make sure you allow enough time for your machine to boot fully, before you try adjusting you CM7 settings. Worst case scenario is that you have to restore your backup.

Looking for some guidance before I go complete wipe/reinstall.
After months of rock solid performance, I'm getting constant total freezes with CM7. I don't have a whole lot of apps, maybe 30, and don't use Beautiful Widgets (I believe I've seen that mentioned as a possible culprit.) It seemed to be somewhere around when I flashed the newest version of Gapps (0828,) but I can't confirm.
Just to try, I flashed the newest nightly of CM7 and reflashed the older (06xx) version of Gapps. Same problem. Thought it might be a bad SDcard, but removing the card still gets freezes.
Nothing consistent - sometime it'll go for hours with no problem. Sometimes it's 2 minutes after I reboot.
So I'm looking to clear and restart. Any suggestions? Should I backup and restore the apps from Titanium Backup, or is it safer just to reflash and reinstall everything fresh from the market.
Any other recommendations?
Many thanks!

I assume that means you are running CM7 off the eMMC, correct?
How are you flashing? ROM Manager? Download the .zip to the SD card and boot into CWR? When you flash a ROM do you wipe Davlik? What version of CWR is on your device?

Yes, running of emmc.
Originally flashed a nightly (current as of, maybe, 2-3 months ago) using bootable SD card into CWM. I updated early last week using a flashed CWM but with CM7 image on a card. Also updated to the latest nightly yesterday using ROM Manager.
Current Version: 0930 (207, I believe)
Yes, wiped Davlik each time.

Actually, after many months of rock solid Nook performance using CM7 and Phiremod and MIUI I've experienced a lot of random freezes the past couple of weeks no matter what ROM I'm using. I wonder if my hardware is becoming unreliable. I've scrubbed and wiped every element of the device before doing new ROM installs, changed SD cards, re-downloaded ROMs. Installed CM7.03, CM7RC1, CM7 nightlies, various MIUI iterations, all to internal memory. My Nook will run anything smoothly for a few days and then start freezing no matter what I do. I do use Beautiful Widgets so I'm not running that right now, just in case. In fact at the moment I have NO widgets, shortcuts or anything else on my homescreens, just to see if that helps. Yes, I've tried fixing permissions too. A head scratcher.

Well that's not promising. Hopefully I don't have whatever syndrome you do.
I'm going to do the full wipe this afternoon and see what happens with a fresh install.

I have come to believe that my problem was NOT with whichever ROM I was using but with Beautiful Widget. Using the usual trial and error method I found that, if I did not install Beautiful Widget I didn't have a freeze problem either with MIUI 1.8.5 or CM7.1RC1. Its a shame because I like that widget but I switched to Fancy Widget (a lot less flexible but gets the job done) and I'm fine now.
For some reason certain apps just don't play well with the Nook. They will freeze it regardless whether they are running or not. Simply having them installed will cause frequent freezes from my experience. Everytime I encounter more than two freezes I will delete the last 5 or so most recently installed apps.
@stir fry alot,
Is there an app that keeps track of installs?
I had a similar freezing issue..I had to reformat my SD card and reload my apps...took care of it.
Thanks guys!
I'm running 7.1 stable that i installed from scratch on SD and kept getting freeze ups too and stumbled across this thread and wanted to say THANK YOU! I uninstalled beautiful widgets and no more freezing! Whoohoo!
I joined the site about a year ago when I first got my TMobile G2 with the intent of modding it. Since I used it mainly for work, I decided to leave it alone and became a lurker since I didn't have much to offer (info wise). Recently I picked up a Nook Color, and after reading about several different mods, decided on Rack's Dual Boot.
Being a noob to Android Systems (but not to computers), I reread the directions a few times. When I got the gist of what to do, I ran through it with no issues. Turned out to be unbelievably easy. Many Thanks to Racks and everyone else that worked so hard to bring us this awesome information (as a side note F**K those douches that are selling cards on fleabay).
Now to the point; There are a couple of questions/issues I have that maybe someone can help with:
1. Occasionally, when I try and download apps from Play, I get an "error in processing purchase" message. When I power down, then boot back and flash the ICS gapps, everything is fine. I have tried clearing cache and data and get the same error message.
2. In CM7, the Nook Tweak App does absolute wonders for the volume of the crappy little speaker. Anything for ICS?
3. I have LG HBS700 Bluetooth Headphones. They work great in GB CM7, but nothing in ICS CM9.
4. Netflix works like a charm in GB CM7 but bogs and freezes in ICS CM9. Same for Youtube. I have downloaded Flash Player with same results.
5. Lastly, is there any way to get sound INTO the NC? That way I can use the Dolphin Voice Browser, Google Voice Search, etc.
Not big on flashing nightlies. Prefer to get system doing what I want and being stable, then sticking to it.
Many Thanks in advance - Mike

#1 happened again, and reflashed GAPPS. Got the same error message again. Now, I can't download anything from Play Store in ICS CM9.

Sorry to hear ur having issues. Only suggestion I would have is to backup whatever apps you have on CM9 with Titanium Backup or any other app that is capable of doing so. Then download a more recent update of a DualbootSD CM9 from the techerrata server. Copy the zip over to the /sdcard partition of the DualbootSD rom and boot into the CWM that is included with the DualbootSD. Then go to "mounts & storage" and choose to format /system & /data then flash the update you just downloaded. That should fix whatever issues you are having with market.

I pretty much already knew the answer to 5, but asked just in case anyone had gotten something to work.
The rest aren't horrible problems. Thanks to the dual boot card, I just reboot into CM7 to watch Netflix. And by the way, the range with my BT Headset is in feet not inches. I was pretty impressed for having no antenna.
The recent Play thing is a pain though. I will walk through your recommendation and get back.

Hey Racks,
Okay, I downloaded the MIUI Updates for the Dual Boot Card and put them on the SD Card. I then booted to recovery and open chose zips from SD Card. Installed both GB and ICS Updates. Rebooted into ICS, and everything looked fine. Tried booting into GB and got a nice MIUI.us Boot Screen, then splash screen looks nice, and as soon as I unlock the device I get: "The application launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly" and the same with "media" and "acore"
I tried reflashing the old GAPPS, and nothing. My only two options are "FORCE CLOSE" and "REPORT TO MIUI"
Any suggestions?
Thanks Again - Mike
Okay, now I reflashed CM7 MIUI and can't boot into GB. Stuck at MIUI Boot Screen.
On the good news side; I can now download files from Google Play in ICS. WOW! If it's not one, it's the other. HAHAHA
Issues get fixed, and it's still better than the stock Nook Color.
Can I go back to standard Mirage CM7 and keep MIUI CM9, or is it "all or nothing?"
Thanks Again - Mike

Try going into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All. Find the Google Playstore app. Clear cache. Playstore will then reload your apps when you start it next. If that doesn't work, clear cache and data. You'll have go through the registration process again, but it may work.
Thanks Shumash.
I finally got Google Play working after installing MIUI Update 03252012 (ICS). My big issue now is with CM7.
After doing the update, as soon as I do the unlock, I start getting error messages (see above). I can't get into anything. I can only reboot or turn off power.
I know I can go back to factory settings, reformat and setup the SD Card, and start all over with Mirage CM7 and CM9. Is there a shorter way? Ideally, I would like to revert MIUI CM7 back to the original Mirage, and leave it be (everything worked fine HAHAHA) until someone comes out with a stable HW accelerator, so I can have my Netflix and YouTube in ICS.
Thanks Again - Mike
Convert2Dualboot-SD Tool
Racks,
I've been using your triple-boot for a couple weeks (works great, by the way--thanks!), and I decided to try your Convert2Dualboot-SD Tool (mainly so that I could have ICS CM9 as my primary). Previously I've had Mirage CM7.2-RC1 from 3-23-2012 in primary and ICS CM9 non-OpenGL from 3-25-2012 in secondary. I downloaded everything, including your newest ICS CM9 non-OpenGL (the 5-1-2012 version), to the Nook, extracted, dropped the ICS CM9 zip into the rom-to-modify folder and the ICS gapps file into the gapps-to-modify folder, opened a terminal session and ran the Android script. Everything seems to have been created fine--the new files were in Primary-Mod. I then went into recovery, formatted system1 & data1, then flashed both the ICS CM9 zip and ICS gapps zip.
When I tried to boot into primary, nothing happened. I then booted into secondary and discovered that the secondary partition had been updated to the new ICS version (5-1-2012). It was flaky, so I went back into recovery and re-applied gapps (this time using the non-modified version). It seems to be working fine now, but is in the secondary partition. My primary is apparently currently empty because of the formatting.
So unless CM9 should never be placed in the primary partition, there seems to be a bug somewhere (at least in the Android version). I did see something in the script that appears to be a problem. Within the "ga" leg, it has this coding:
mv gapps_DualbootSD_alternate_${DATE}.zip ../Primary-Mod/gapps_DualbootSD_alternate_${DATE}.zip
I'm not a programmer, but having "Primary-Mod" intermixed with "alternate" would seem to be problematic. But since this is the "ga" leg, I don't know that this would have caused CM9 to be applied to the secondary partition instead of the primary, so there may be a problem somewhere else.
Do you know if anyone else has successfully applied your modded version of the CM9 rom to primary using the Android script? Or should the existing modded version only be placed in the secondary partition?
Thanks,

Racks,
I've been using your triple-boot for a couple weeks (works great, by the way--thanks!), and I decided to try your Convert2Dualboot-SD Tool (mainly so that I could have ICS CM9 as my primary). Previously I've had Mirage CM7.2-RC1 from 3-23-2012 in primary and ICS CM9 non-OpenGL from 3-25-2012 in secondary. I downloaded everything, including your newest ICS CM9 non-OpenGL (the 5-1-2012 version), to the Nook, extracted, dropped the ICS CM9 zip into the rom-to-modify folder and the ICS gapps file into the gapps-to-modify folder, opened a terminal session and ran the Android script. Everything seems to have been created fine--the new files were in Primary-Mod. I then went into recovery, formatted system1 & data1, then flashed both the ICS CM9 zip and ICS gapps zip.
When I tried to boot into primary, nothing happened. I then booted into secondary and discovered that the secondary partition had been updated to the new ICS version (5-1-2012). It was flaky, so I went back into recovery and re-applied gapps (this time using the non-modified version). It seems to be working fine now, but is in the secondary partition. My primary is apparently currently empty because of the formatting.

Goodness! Gotta check my script! But that should have been moved to Alternate-Mod. But as in the appended filename. It should flash to alternate boot. Will correct on next update.
Regarding ur issue, you shouldnt be using my modded zips for conversion as it is already prepped specifically for Primary or Alternate boot.
The script is for converting standard .zips. like a regular nightly. Also note if ur flashing a new rom over default setup. It is recommended to format /system1, /data1 for primary & /system2, /data2 for alternate.
Thanks again for pointing out that error!

I figured the issue might be with using the modded zips, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
Allright.. i decided to start using a custom rom, which will be CM9. but because of soo mutch information on this website i dont fully understand anymore what to do, and because im still a noob, i cant post in the original thread of CM9.
I have a Red lens Motorola Defy MB525, found out with catlog that i got the bayer camera module , non branded, stock froyo.
Rooted my defy
nandroid backup with 2nd init , made a copy to my laptop to be completely save.
did backup the apps with titanium backup
also have the app battery calibration so i can fix my battery after the custom rom.
i will write the custom rom when my battery is on atleast 50 percent, so it will not die.
So what do i have to do next?
download the correct ROM, it will come as a .zip
copy it to your sdcard, reboot to 2nd init recovery,
factory reset, and wipe dalvik cache from advanced menu.
then in recovery choose install zip from sdcard, choose your ROM.zip, install,
reboot, it will take pretty long until it boots first time because system is rebuilding the dalvik. (~5min)
Wow , thats sounds way more simple then i can find on this site.
Ill try it tommorow night! any further suggestions?
Maybe you should try multiboot first just to be on the safe side.
what is multiboot and how can i do that?
Multiboot is basically the possibility to have two or more different ROMs (e.g. CM7 and CM9) installed at the same time and when you boot up you can choose which ROM you want to use. But it is a bit complicated and it wouldn't work with stock Froyo as one of the ROMs I think.
More suggestions? You should also download the latest gapps from http://goo.im/gapps and put the zip on your sd card as well. After wiping and installing the CM9 Nightly from sd go to install zip from sd again and choose the gapps .zip. After that you can reboot the system.
The gapps are the Google Apps (i.e. Play Store and some more) and without them you can't even setup your Google Account, download apps, use Gmail etc.
Ah thanks for that! downloaded it and saved it to my desktop for now.
Still need to figure out which rom i need to choose.. the epsylon?

That would be good. Try it out and see if it suits your requirements..There are many ROM's for froyo kernel. You can try those and see which suits you best.
Happy Modding.
yeaaay! Thanks for all the great help, it worked perfect and was really easy to do!
Cant wait till all the apps are back on my phone from the backups that i made and then let the modding begin! haha
- running Epsylon CM9!

Before flashing, did you do a full wipe?
CWM > Wipe data & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe your system partition?
I have a Nook Color as well, but I'm running CM7. I read somewhere that your CWM must be version 6.xxx to properly flash CM10 based roms. I believe that is your problem. Btw, CM7 has better performance on this old device.
flashing
i actually never flashed clockwork. all i did was use winimage to partition the card, then just dragged and dropped gapps and cm 10.1.2 20130815 nightly. then it broke after installing a few apps. ive been looking for CWM to wipe everything. from wut i understand CWM wipes it COMPLETELY unlike the 2 stock methods i used before. its like it just wont boot from the sd card anymore. it installs the CM but after its done it just boots up to nook. if you or anyone can tell me where to find CWM it would be much appreciated. i dont understand their site layout and the youtube directions dont have working links for CWM. any ideas? and thx so much for the response. i know from reading now that cm7 was wut i shud have installed instead of the newer extremely unstable cm9 and cm 10.2.
ALSO, im reading about CWM software is related to SD card size? i only have a 32gb sd which is not mentioned in any of the tutorials on how to use CWM. does it rly matter?

Sure thing. Here are the instructions for flashing CWM to your internal flash using a microSD card. You'll need a microSD card reader for this. Look on Amazon for the IOGear MicroSD card reader, I bought it recently for $6 in total.
Read this thread thoroughly, it is simple enough. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12797652
Also, I would suggest you install CM7 MiRaGe rom instead of stock CM7. It performs really well, and I have it overclocked to 1.2GHz stable. Here is the MiRaGe thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873

Nah, it works man. There's just a little bug you need to take care of. Go to the Mirage thread again, on the bottom of the first post, you'll see it says "wifi disconnecting? Read <link>". It's an easy fix. I had it too.
