Honeycomb for EMMC ***IMAGES!*** - Nook Color Android Development

What we have here is a set of images to flash to your Nook and run Honeycomb on your internal storage. (Currently based on Deeper_Blue's v02) The method for installing is the same as for Nookie Froyo on EMMC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926749)
To Install HC to your Nook Color flash CWR to your sd card (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870)
Copy the two image files to the sd card.
Boot to CWR and ADB Shell into your NC.
Run the following commands to flash Honeycomb:
mount data
mount sdcard
rm /data/* -r
dd if=/sdcard/hcboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/hcsystem.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
reboot
ATTENTION! Do not use CWR to format your SD card, also remove your SD card after installation so it will boot to HC and not CWR!
I would like to thank MattJ951 for his work with Samuelhauf on getting the uRamdisk working to boot, and Deeper_blue for porting honeycomb to the Nook Color. (If i have forgotten anyone PM me and I will give credit!)

Woo! Nice!

Once again, you forget to mention not to use sdcard format on the NC after having installed this.. your going to have black screen complaints..

Nothing should get formatted as these are dd images.... run the commands above and everyone should be fine..

same question here!

HC v3, eMMC 1100 kernel, launcherpro.
Smooth.
Tried converting data and cache to ext4. No go. Seems deeperblue hasn't added ext4 support to his kernel yet..
By the way, no problem with v3.
You must have missed something while copying system. Maybe your partition was too small..

The internal storage on the nook (flash memory) rather than SD Card

Did you not have a rotation problem (i.e. it never rotated to the side you were using, always one past) with v03?

You don't use dd images with CWR (actually you might be able to, but i prefer my way).
You download a nookie froyo sd image (or just use your honeycomb one and add the two images to the sd partition of it (You can adb push them or just use your computer to copy them).
Then open up a terminal emulator (i believe there is one in dev tools) and type these commands:
dd if=/sdcard/hcboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/hcsystem.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Also as Sam said
DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SD CARD FROM INSIDE THE NOOK COLOR please update the OP saying this

---

Most excellent! I will be giving this a try shortly (at work now but RDC home to start the download!)
Question: Any plans to "update" to deeper-blue's V03 image? I know it's a "preview" right now so perhaps you are waiting for a more stable release???
Thanks!

V3 is flawless here. Check you don't get: nit enough space error, while copying system..
Ill probably make a flashable version of v4..

I restored my nook to Stock 1.01 yesterday after a random catastrophic failure with my previously stable 1.01 AN setup; so, I'm ready to try anything.
The choices are HC v3, Froyo 0.6.6, or the 1.1 AN setup.
1) How difficult would it be to update these emmc HC images to v3?
2) Which of the three options is the most stable for the following?
--ADW Launcher
--Clockwork Mod / ROM Manager
--HQ Youtube app
--Market (AppBrain as well)
--Gmail w/calendar sync (I use the Pure Grid Calendar app)
--Xscope browser / Dolphin HD
--Aldiko 2.0
--Live Wallpapers
--Scrollable widgets
--Rockplayer
--Perfect Viewer (for comics)
--WidgetLocker
--Tapatalk
--Su/Superuser apps (Root Explorerer, Terminal, Wireless adb, etc)
--TV Shows Stream
--Angry Birds (all versions)
3) Which capabilities does HC v3 still lack?
4) Do any of these options have a global copy/paste capability?
5) Do any of them have working Flash 10.1 (for apps like TV Shows Stream, or Droid Stremer Pro)?

Eclair is by the most stable but lacking flash. Froyo supports flash but has some issues with talpatalk (at least for me). Honeycomb is more of a PoC and you will get a lot of crashes on some apps.

That's about right. Though I haven't had any trouble with Froyo and Tapatalk (XDA does crash, on the other hand).
HC v3 on eMMC probably is my favourite experience so far with the NC. Although, I'm most certainly not objective, as HC is very new, compared to our old Froyo buddy..
If I had to choose, taking under account your criterions, I would go with Froyo. Perfect blend of stability and performance.. As Matt said, HC is very nice, but still isn't stable enough for the average user.. HC, as of right now, should only be installed for the thrill of it, or to start dev'ing around..
Eclair? Well, it's ok. But without flash, it can't possibly be an option. You might as well buy an iPad (sarcasm)..
PS: v4? Pretty soon, I guess...

Alright, excellent! Thanks for the feedback... it sounds like I'll be going for Froyo on emmc tonight!
Do you see any apps in my list above that I might have problems with?
