First boot after wiping cache then flashing Phiremod 7.1 and gappps-gb-20110828.zip. I got the screen of "Welcome to NookColor, touch the android to begin." with an Android logo in the middle of the screen. There is no response when I touch it.
What have I done wrong?
You flashed the wrong gapps. Go here https://sites.google.com/site/phiremod/nook-color-roms
And scroll down until you see the link for pherimods gapps.
(I did the same thing when I first flashed this rom.)
There is also a thread in the NC android development section for this rom. Post questions there for more support.

Thanks. Have not gotten enough posts apparently to be allowed to post at dev forums.
link dead?
Yes, the link is dead now. Phiremod apparently left the development world and took his files with him. Too bad. He had some great roms.

I am a noob at all of this, I have a nook color and I was hoping someone could help me root it and put honeycomb on it. I don't know where to begin. I have read about cyanogen mod and deeper blue but I don't know where to download them or which one I should use?
If you want CM7 on the nook (not the SD card) I would suggest reading thru my post asking the same thing, helped me a lot and you can see the end result.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442509
1. go thru the directions that CobyHoff posted on the first page to just get rooted
2. after that use my wiki link that I posted on the last page to get CM7 installed
Hope that helps
Long story short, you don't want Honeycomb. Install the mirage-kang CM7.2.

I have a nook 8gig and rooted with instructions from cyanogenmod.com and worked perfectly. My question is should i follow those instructions for this 16gig or are there another set of instructions to follow . Ive looked here and have found that in some threads it says i can follow them for the 16gig and when reading the comments i find that it will not work on the 16gig. Hope this made sense to you. Thanks for the help in advance.
There is no 16 gb nook color.
What you have there is a nook tablet. You are in the wrong forum. We don't have those fancy tablets here, just Nook Color e-readers.
there are forums for nook tablets and nooktablet hd (+) on xda.They can probably answer you.
good luck
Well ill take my fancy tablet and go hunting for that rascally rabbit on the right forum. Thank you
After checking I do have a nook color 16gig. My other nook is an 8gig. So do I follow the same steps for the 16gig? It is not the HD or HD plus.

There is no 16 gb Nook Color. That is a Nook tablet. The roms do not interchange. Go over to the Nook Tablet thread.
Thhe 8gb could be a NookColor or a tablet. You need to know for certain before flashing. Many problems can result.

If the model number on the back of the 8/16gb is BNTV250 it is a Nook Tablet. Go over to the Nook Tablet forum for help rooting it.
The nook color model number is BNRV200. ROMs in this forum are for BNRV200 only.
Mod- Please move thread to Q&A.
About a year ago, I successfully installed custom nookie froyo 2.2.1 on my nook internal sd following a youtube video (created a bootable micro sd, etc.) I actually surprised myself that it worked out since I’m no tech wizard!
Although everything is working fine, I now want to upgrade to CM 7 since I feel it’s now a bit laggy.
My question is:
Do I have to repeat the whole process (bootable SD, etc.) or is there a shortcut I can take ? If so, can you link me to a walkthrough? If not, can you also link me to a recent good walkthrough so I can repeat the process?
Thanks for the input!
Greetings from Vienna

You do need to follow the same basic process. This guide is up to date.

:good: Thanks for you reply and your excellent guide. I've just finished installing CM10 and it's running like a charm!
My last request is - can you tell this noob how to give you a xda 'thank'.
cheers mate.

You just did. But you can just click the button too. It is at the bottom of the post for web pages and a long press if using the android app.

Can I obtain all of the stock apk's that come with an unrooted NST? I want to see if I can run an NST environment on my CM7 NookColor. If I can get these apk's I will make a custom firmware for the NST.
And yes, I have an NST.

Download the latest firmware from B&N and pull the apk's from there. You also might want to join the NST CM7 thread.

Alright then. I'll be compiling this firmware if you need me!
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app
You're not going to be able to get the unmodified Reader.apk or ReaderRMSDK.apk to run.
They use android.hardware.EpdController
You'll have to either stub in the class or modify the apk.
Alright. I read this message while I was having issues with them. Ill try to fix them manually. Thank you.

I successfully unzipped the firmware download on a windows machine, but I no longer have access to it. When I try to extract the files from the Zip on my mac, it cycles through zips and tar.gz's infinetly. When I try to extract it on my NC with rom toolbox, it says, "failed to extract tmp.zip"
Any suggestions?

After flashing (with CWM) what I would have posted as alpha-1 to test it, I am pleased to say that the Nook Simple Touch just sucks.
What happened:
I built the ROM entirely from Eclair source-code and the Nook's stock software. I flash the ROM to test it and BAM, bricked. I looked over what I had built again, and again, and EVERYTHING should have worked. (Yes, I checked superuser, etc.) Frustrated, I recompiled the majority of the firmware, and reflashed, after restoring to pure stock. This time, it boots to the Android Launcher, which is what I intended, but then, I click on The Android Market Icon, and it says: "Barnes & Noble permissions breach detected, factory resetting." It shuts down, boots up without resetting and then when booted says that Android Launcher, System UI, etc. Has crashed, reboots, factory resets (???), and then boots up to the Nook welcome screen. I skip OOBE, and factory reset once more.
Now, I am selling this useless Ereader, and will use the money to contribute to the purchase of a Nook HD, which now ships with Google play installed. With the Nook HD, I wont have to deal with this crap, because it is a TABLET unlike the Nook Simple Touch, which is and will always be, just a black and white Reader.

Hello Mineturtle33, as I wrote in the other thread,
First of all I want to really say you thanks for your efforts trying to port CM7 to our Nook Touchs...
I and more people like me appreciate very much your work, and we know the how useful would be updating our Nook Touch to Android 2.3 because every day more, developers cut support and compatibility for older Android versions like the our...
I known it's only a BW tablet, but I thinks that in its area is still the best, the only with maybe limited but support for apk, only missing with newer apps is the flaw.
So in name of mine and many people like me on this and the another forum I say to you: Please don't give up!
At the moment you seems the only with the knowledge that can reach it.
I will also be pleased also to make a symbolic offer of the 25$ if instead of sell your nook, you can just make some more try on it.
Count me also for beta-testing also if dangerous
You are our only hope

Thank you for your support. I just want to let you know, I will keep trying, though, release #1 will most likely be Android 2.1. When we make progress on porting CM7, I promise that I will do a 2.3 release. While thinking about what I will name this ROM it popped into my head, SnowMOD? (since it's white) Is that a good name? Anybody else have name ideas? I will make an official progress thread later. Don't worry about give ng me 25$. I don't really need it.
I can test the new custom rom once significant progress is made.

I think SnowMOD it's a good name and will become famous.
Thank you in advance
I can't wait to see it..and flash it.
Good work!
