Hey everyone,
I'm still relatively new to developing, and this is just my first start getting my feet wet (My very first ROM). Anyway... here it is:
Welcome to Nookie Comb!
This ROM is based off of Nookie Froyo 0.6.8, thanks to Cicada and the Nook devs for all of their awesome work.
To be clear, I may or may not be entirely speedy on updates, but I will do as I can as time goes on.
I highly recommend using a Clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 SD card to flash this zip, as that's what I've been using and haven't tested any others.
As for the ROM, I think phiredrop says it best:
I am not responsible for any damages you may encounter (though you probably won’t). This is a Clockwork flashable zip only. It WILL erase your internal memory. Please make the necessary backups.
Features
Includes latest force status bar hack for Honeycomb like experience!!! (Force with Status Bar Toggle)(Thanks brianf21!!)
Choose between OC kernel or stock
Based on Nookie Froyo 0.6.8
Implements brianf21 and samuelhalff's bottom status bar implementation.
Altered the status bar and notification items to Honeycomb style positions
Customized LauncherPro v0.8.3 (based on s23's original version here)
Honeycomb Lockscreen Clock Font
Accurate Honeycomb Battery mod
Theming based on wretchedlocket and valle mod's themes
Honeybee boot animation
Apps
Gapps included
Notion Ink Keyboard (AWESOME!)
Honeycomb Clock Free
Honeycomb Music 3.0 apk
Notion Ink Canvas, E-mail, and Quickoffice included from here
NookColor UMS
Nookie-Froyo Utils to force/unforce statusbar at boot
Status Bar Toggle to force/unforce on the fly
QuickDesk Application to adjust the statusbar while within any application
Probably more stuff but that's all I recall
Installation
NOTE: Flash with the latest ClockworkMod Recovery/via ClockworkMod Recovery SD or standard Clockwork Recovery 3.0.1.0. This version is fully compatible with any Clockwork used for Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (see the Nookie Froyo page here)
Copy "NookieCombvXXX.zip" to the root of your SD
Place SD in nook and power on
Format SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE (You do not need to wipe if coming from a previous version!)
Flash Nookie Comb
Once finished flashing, unmount your sdcard, remove from the slot and reboot.
Give your nook a few minutes to stabilize on first boot. Choose LauncherPro initially as your first action. You will have to adjust your softkeys settings to remove the little floating guy in the case you launch Softkeys, as well as want to set up how your button activate each launcher.
Once stable, I recommend a reboot. Helps prevent any issues.
You should be able to sign in to market right off the bat.
I highly recommend using my launcherpro_backup setting in the link below. This hides a few unusable apps, as well as sets up your home screen rows/columns and colors. To install, just unzip the launchepro_backup.zip to the root of your sdcard. Hit the menu button, select "Preferences" in LauncherPro, then "Restore Backup"
That's it!
Troubleshooting and Notes [Updated 4/13/11]
Flash: Most likely you installed over a previous Nookie Froyo or other ROM and decided not to do a full wipe, which is ok, except that your flash data and dalvik-cache exist from your old Flash install. Just uninstall flash, and reinstall from market
SD Card and Gallery: If you're having these issues,just visit settings, unmount SD, and mount again. Don't assume you can simply unplug and plug it back in. Even though it may look already mounted, doing it this way should fix those issues
Won't wake from sleep: This seems to have been associated with hot plugging the SD card before putting the Nook to sleep. Might only be associated with the OC kernel (thanks to arrjaytea)
You can optionally force your statusbar to be always on using Status Bar Toggle. This app is brought to you by brianf21!
It's recommended to set QuickDesk as your Launcher, then select LauncherPro within it. This way, double-tapping the hard home key will bring up the quick desk application while in any other application. You can put the Status Bar Toggle app here to toggle at any time
You can select the NI keyboard by holding your finger over a text box, selecting Input Method -> NI Keyboard
You can switch the symbols and caps by just double tapping the shift or fn keys. Symbol key is better than fn
Normal Android keyboard is still included in case you don't want the NI keyboard.
Additional
-Compatible with Froyo based kernels.
-Highly recommend downloading Desktop Visualizer from the market and using the HoneyComb Icons pack below to create Honeycomb-like widgets!!
Still in works
Got everything mostly fixed... hmmmm...

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to go about converting it into an sd card, and might not be able to maintain both as often. If someone with the knowledge can send me a pm with the info, I'll look into it as a possibility when I have a little more time.

Damn, dude! Good job. With as much custom work as you've done, no wonder you've ran into problems integrating my work.
Looks awesome so far

does the market work for world wide with tablet options ?
Never mind ...
though just installed this, very nice work and so far impressed
How do I install Honeycomb icons & fonts? I have unzipped them in the root of my sdcard already.

Thanks! You helped me get up to speed on the framework repacking and stuff, so thank you! Sorry for all the q's on the latest release, I really wanted to incorporate it.

This is not Honeycomb, but a Honeycomb themed Froyo build with some enhancements for a tablet like experience

The fonts are all there, your clock should have the Honeycomb clock look on the lockscreen. To utilize the icon pack, download Desktop Visualizer from Market and select the images to correspond to applications installed. I was going to incorporate this by default, but wanted to keep it clean.
Hi mikegonz,
As I said before great job with this. I just installed this to my SDcard and really liking it. Would you mind if I prepped a flashable zip to SDcard via the method on my thread and post it there to share with everyone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998861
Edit: I could also prep a NookieCombv0330_SD.img file as well if you would like to post it to your OP.
Only revision I made was:
-Edit ramdisk to boot of SD
-Launcherpro_backup already restored
-Edit vold.fstab to use 4th partition of SDcard
Thanks,
Racks
thank you
I flash the rom and it is very nice but it does not read my SD card. Do you know of a way to fix this? I love the rom!!

No not at all, by all means! That'll give people an option to flash to SD card. I'll post a link to your post/link here once you have it.

The SDcard should work right on boot up. Make sure the sdcard is inserted correctly, then go to Settings->Sd card and phone storage. If mounted, unmount the Sd card, then Mount again. This should fix any issue with being unable to read.

Was playing with this a little bit last night. Pretty snappy overall. One thing though, the NI keyboard you mentioned showed up in the language and keyboard setting, but I couldn't seem to enable it and it wasn't enabled by default.

Goto laucher pro settings and choose "restore backup"
Make sure the unzipped folder is in the root of your SDcard
I've downloaded and applied a few themes from this thread (applied via cm7 Theme Chooser), but for some reason the themes only change the phone's appearance partially. In the screenshots for example, you've got a new lockscreen, the market is different and the main dock is a different colour. But when I apply these themes, none of those change, nor do I know how to change them. No option to do so in the settings of ADW nor CM7 menu...
Am I doing something wrong?

you should look thru the post the lock screen changes are usually zip files and wont work cause they are mdpi and i think we are hdpi you can reaserch it im pretty sure but i could be wrong thats also why the rest of the themes dont work if you want to ask you should ask the thread you pulled the themes from
Try to make a reboot after aplying a theme. Mine are all working great.

No, I think our device is mdpi, because hdpi themes don't work. I also tried to reboot but it didn't help... I dunno...
Eh...
- first of all, reboot is required after changing themes, unless you use Notification Restart app
- second, this device is MDPI obviously, Google it
- additional mods, such as the lockscreen, do require patching of framework via MetaMorph or ZipThemer. This can only be done on deodexed ROMs. mik's ROM is not deodexed by default, you need to deodex and reflash it yourself.

1. I use notification restart app.
2. Isn't that what I just said?
2. I didn't know that, but I have already used MetaMorph to change the lockscreen.

Well, that obviously will not work correctly, as explained. Best case it will bail out, worst case it will mess up the files.
P.S. I sincerely do NOT advise to use the MetaMorph app, since it does not backup anything, and the way it patches and "reboots" the device is just a nice WTF. ZipThemer is way safer and way more controllable.

Well as I understand it only messes with the lockscreen files, so even if someone manages to mess everything up with it, it's easy to fix.
But thanks, I'll try ZipThemer instead

It can mess up anything from framework-res.apk to SystemUI.apk to Phone.apk to overwriting your system fonts (big thumbs down to Android font "management") and even more - all depending on the scope of customization done in the mod.
ZipThemer:
1/ Shows you exactly which files will be modified.
2/ Makes a flashable backup of them.
3/ Makes a flashable ZIP for the mod.
4/ Does not half-reboot your device, making you wonder WTH is going on.
Hi,
I'm just a newbe.
I have the original stock rom (Gingerbread 2.3.6) with root permissions in a Galaxy Mini 2 (GT-S6500).
I'd like to customize the original status bar and notification bar. For instance, I want to change then toggle buttons adding "Airplane mode", and stuff like that.
How can I do that? I tried to look for this in the web but I couldn't find something straight to follow. I got lost between various "deodexed" things.
Which are the steps I should follow?
Thank you,
Enryfantasy
this works for me
try the lidroid toggles, download and flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=lidroid%20toggles
works for me
I belive some users tried to run themer on g2 mini, but it couldn't work because of resolustion support. We have 960x540 (which is supported by themer), but since we have soft-keys themer detects 886x540... They recently added support for 888x540 and I've managed to get 888x540. I have stock 4.4.2 rom.
1. You need rooted device.
2. Install Xposed Framework and GravityBox [KK] module.
3. In Xposed, enable GravityBox and reboot.
4. Go to GravityBox -> Navigation Bar Tweaks, turn Master switch on, scroll to the bottom of the screen and change navigation bar settings (for both portrait and landscape orientation) to 98%.
5. Reboot.
This method reduce nav bar height by 2px and themer detects 888x540 resolution. You should be able to see themes in themer now.
i work arround that i install auto hide navigation bar and works fine but i going to try that maybe can be set in build prop to dont install nothing more
Well, I tried to auto hide nav. bar, but auto hide is not usable for more reasons, at least on my phone. When nav is hidden, themer works fine, but some stock apps crash on start up. Such as phone, contacts, gallery etc. When I unhide it, it cange screen height at 886 so, themer crashes.
Hi mate ! Need a help .. I have just rooted my lg g2 mini lolipop but there is this problem xposed says installing framework might brick my phone because, processor or something doesn't match. Therefore, what should I do now ? Should do a titanium backup before installing ? I haven't done any backup before rooting.
Thanks in advance
This method works on 4.4.2 stock KK rom. Probably it will work on stock 5.0.2.
You're getting this warning, because you're trying to install Xposed for KitKat rom, which won't work with Lollipop. There are threads on this forum about getting Xposed to work on 5.x roms, so, try that. If you get it working, you can customize nav bar and run themer.
Can anyone who has been thru the filesystem tell me where i would go to be able to change or delete the TEXT on my lockscreen, that says swipe to unlock.
I have removed the verizon logo and somthing else i dont recall at the moment. But i havnt found any xsposed modules that let me remove " swipe to unlock" text. I want to use swipe to unlock my phone. But want to clean up the screen and remove the text. Can anyone tell me where i could go in file explorer to change/remove or another method to remove this. Also i wanted to ask if the stock shipping firmware rooted is aosp or not. Im not sure and still wasnt after trying to search aosp and reading up on it a little.ive seen some xsposed modules that talk about working with only aosp.
You can use xposed and download clean lockscreen

try [ll-mm] lock screen mods in xposed installer
Neither of those apps had any effect on my lockscreen. I want to remove the camera button and phone button feom the bottom of my lockscreen. Also i wanted to remove the verizon banner from the top of screen, i removed verizon banner with" hide carrier label v2". But i still have the camera and phone buttons on bottom of thw lockscreen. And i use swipe to unlock and im trying to find a way to remove those 2 buttons, but still be able to use swipe to unlock. Does anyone know any ways to remove the buttons. Any wayy i could mod a file in system that has the lockscreen properties in it.
