EDIT: The below issue has been fixed. Here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110599

Howdy folks!
I've just bought a Nook Color, and I followed these instructions to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
(I've done it before and it worked perfectly)
However, this time after installing CM7 and the GApps zips, I reboot and I cannot see the Market app. It doesn't exist. (see attached image).
I thought maybe it was just a problem where I simply have to add a google account...
I go to menu->settings->accounts and sync->add account
Rather than the normal "choose an account type" dialog, It says "you can configure an exchange account" and I am not given the option to choose a Google account.
I reimaged a different SD card and rebooted into recovery using that card and wiped data, wiped cache, installed CM7, installed gapps, and rebooted.
Once again, the same exact issue.
I reboot to recovery again and this time I just install gapps and reboot... same issue...
Any help would be extremely appreciated, and if you can solve this problem for me, I'll even 'donate' 5 bucks if you have that set up.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated here.
Thanks!
Could it matter what version of CM7 you're using?
Thank you for the response.
I've tried CM7.0.3 and the latest nightly [today]
Google Apps pretty clearly did not install. My best guess is either you somehow grabbed the wrong package or your download just got corrupted. You should scrap the gapps...zip you downloaded and re-download this package:
I just tried it to double-check, and the main download link was flagged malicious by Avast and didn't load, so I used the mirror. Try that.
With CM7 installed, make sure Wi-Fi is set up (sometimes prevents complications), then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Insert the SD card with the new gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file in the root directory. Choose "install zip from sd card," then "choose zip from sd card," then "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip," then "Yes."
You should see some text in the bottom half of the display indicating that the install is proceeding, and eventually that it has finished. Click the power button to back out to the main menu, then "reboot system now."
If that doesn't do it, I've about exhausted my knowledge.
Hello, and thank you for the reply.
I've tried it on two different sytems on 3 different nooks with 3 different SD cards and various different versions of gapps and CM7 including the nightlies.
This problem started when the nooks with the "green stickers" came out.
(Green sticker indicates that it has the new version of Nook software, while a blue sticker indicates that it has the weird new partitioning scheme. These do not have the blue sticker.)
I've tried enabling wifi and whatnot, and then reinstalling the gapps package but no bueno. The apks don't even seem to exist in the system\app directory.
This is a global problem with any new Nooks. I think i just happen to be one of the first ones to experience it.

This has been an ongoing problem for me since I came back to CM7 from HC last week. I don't think it has anything to do with the old or new because I got my NC on launch day.
I had figured that it was just something I had done (I get distracted easily so following directions is....oooooh! A bunny! ) but I've reflashed CM7 and GApps 3 seperate times.
It's only really an annoyance for me since I had most of my apps backed up and I've managed to get the Amazon store and AppPlanet up and running. I'd just like to get the Google market running just so I can have the Trifecta.
I really hope we can figure this out. I know this can't be just me.
What actually happens when you try to install the gapps zip? Does CWM indicate that it is in fact installing the package, and then that it's done?

indeed it does
some added info:
on the "green sticker" nooks, when you try to flash the update OR the gapps, it says it can't mount system or data to make logs, but still seems to work fine. If I manually mount system or data first, it doesn't throw the errors. After flashing CM7, I get fewer errors. CM7 flashes just fine, and the gapps install and CM7 both say install completed, it's just the gapps that don't show up :S
I've heard some people were having trouble flashing the latest stable 7.0.3 and getting gapps to install. This worked for me. I flashed cm7.0.2 from cyanogens site and the google apps add on on the same page. I then flashed 7.0.3 without the google apps add on included with 7.0.3 and it worked. Hope that helps some people
I'm not really sure what you're saying. The gapps aren't installing is the problem.
S/He's saying try installing the previous stable build and see if gapps will install with that. If so, you can then upgrade to 7.0.3 and gapps should remain in place. Technically that's what I did, just because the new stable came out after I had 7.0.2 up and running on SD, but I didn't have any problems flashing gapps with the 7.1 beta to eMMC later on.
ah, I see - I tried that. in fact, I know that on previous versions of the Nook, the gapps installed just fine. I think it's something to do with the 'green sticker nooks'.
I hope this gets or has gotten solved as I just bought a "green dot" NC.
The issue persists, I'm afraid. While it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, there appears to be no solution.
Update: The issue persists on the "blue dot" nooks.
Several 'green-dot' owners have reported installing everything just fine, so that may not be the source of your woes. Have you tried the repartitioning thread for blue-dots, even though you don't have a blue-dot? It seems like your best bet is to one way or another get your NC into a state identical to machines that aren't having this issue.

I used the one on the CM7 wiki but I can see that wiki has been updated this week. I will try the one you linked and get back on this thread if it works. Thanks a ton. Hope this hasn't all been due to my retardedness. B-)
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
UPDATE:
#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.

No. The nook has no microphone and bluetooth Mike inputs don't work either. Sorry.
Thanks Leapinlar.
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.
Thanks - Mike
Attached is what I get with Netflix via ICS
Sorry

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,
oldfolkie

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 just bought a Nook Color and installed CM9 on it. The bottom where it displays the notification and wireless signal is gone. Also every 5 seconds is force closing everything. Apollo looks cool but I cant check it out mainly cause itll force close it. N i forgot to add it FREEZES! Can anyone tell me if I downloaded the wrong thing n have to re install or just forget it.

How did you install it? To SD or internal memory. And which version of CM9 are you using? Opengl or non-opengl?
If you installed to internal memory, did you factory reset via CWM first? You need to if coming from stock. You can still do it now.
If you installed to SD, what class SD card are you using? It should be a Sandisk class 4.
Your download isn't broken. CM9 on the NC is - it isn't really *done* yet on the Nook Color. Developers are working on it, but for now your best bet is CM7.2. I expect we might hear an announcement very soon, but for now, use CM7.2.
It's obvious that the installation of this person has problems.
CM9 DOESNT have this kind of problems. It might be a bit slower in hardware acceleration matters in comparison to CM7, but it sure works fine in all other matters.
It's quite mature by now.

What did you download?
Edit: Forget it. LeapinLar already asked all the pertinent questions.
I'm having similar issues as well. It's kind of sluggish and it has frozen a few times already. I downloaded the nightly by Eyeballer over at Techerrata: cm-9-encore-20120904-0700-unofficial.zip.
In the instructions over at Androidforums does say that it might be sluggish the first few days so I guess I will just have to wait it out. I did just install about roughly 12 hours ago.
I just installed today, over my CM7.2 install in internal memory. It seemed okay at first, though a bit sluggish. But then I re-booted it and now it is acting possessed. Apps are launching by themselves (Play Store, a notepad app I had installed, voice command window, etc.) Very odd. I've shut it down and re-booted, same thing. I am thinking of maybe doing a complete fresh install from a SD card, wiping out all my apps from 7.2 and see if that helps at all. Or, I made a backup of my 7.2 install from CWM before installing CM9, so can always go back to that.
Just to follow up on my previous post: My NC running CM9 (latest GL version) did stabilize quite a bit after a day or so. But it still is very sluggish at times, to respond to screen touches, opening apps, and even loading webpages. I ran the Quadrant benchmark tool and the results are slightly lower than I got with CM7.2, but not terribly so. I'm debating whether to go back to 7.2, or do a factory reset and try a fresh install of CM9 and see if that's any better? Is there any evidence that a fresh install will work better than updating over a installed 7.2?
It's total mistake to update CM9 over Cm7 or any other different system.
To be able to talk about how things should be, you need to do a clean install and then for sure things will be better.

Wow, that made a world of difference! Thanks. I thought I'd read somewhere else that it was okay to update from CM7 to CM9.
I have just installed the most recent CyanogenMod 10 release (11/24/12 as of this writing) on my Nook Color. CM 10 itself works fine, but the most recent Google Apps package that I could find (10/11/12) won't install correctly. In clockwork recovery, I can install it and it says that it was installed fine, but when I actually boot into CM, there are no google apps.
I upgraded from CM 7 where there seemed to be a similar problem: You needed to install Google Apps with a specific version of CM and then upgrade to the newest version. Is something like that happening with CM 10? Is it something else? Is there a newer version of Google Apps that I missed?
All help is appreciated,

The version you have is right.
Sometimes the Google apps will not show unless you have logged into at least one of them. Look for talk or Gmail or play store or some other gapps and see if they show. If so, try to log in.

I have this same problem and I did a full wipe and cleared the Dalvic. I have been reading all day. I think the problem may be the recovery. I have TWRP 2.3.1.0. I read it is best to downgrade to TWRP 2.2 but I don't know how to remove 2.3.1.0 and downgrade to 2.2. OAN: Paranoid Android is quite a nice rom and I use goomanager to simplify my downloads. If someone can tell me how to replace twrp with the other I am willing to test my theory. Thanks in advance.

You can downgrade just by flashing the older version over the top of the newer one. If you can't find a 2.2 version to flash, you can get a 2.1 version here:

Great, care to walk me through flashing the twrp 2.1.1 or twrp 2.2 over the newest one. I tried through terminal emulator and apparently I don't know what I'm doing. I tried to use twrp 2.3.1.0 to flash the aforementioned versions but it was not having it. Please point me in the right direction...it's my mother's NC, personally I use the NT which is a bit different to work with. Thanks 1001x

Well, you need to flash it with a recovery. And you said you tried TWRP 2.3.1.0. That should have worked. What do you mean, it was not having it? If it was failing to flash, maybe that was the problem you were having with that version. If that version is not working, you have no choice but to boot to a bootable recovery SD. I have CWM on a bootable SD on my tips threads linked in my signature. Go to item A10. You can use that to flash a different TWRP to your internal memory.

Thanks a million. No, TWRP 2.3.1.0 would not flash the older recovery. I willfollow your advice.
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.

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.

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.

Thanks! but pretty happy with CM7. any more seems to be a bit much for these processors. both are up, loaded full of games/books and ready for the road trip. :highfive:
