Yea only one really big problem with running NAND Android on the Mogul (Titan). That link is for the Touch (Vogue).
We are stuck with the SD method for now. And anything above 1.6 runs really slow.

Good to know. I was wondering at the speed of the higher versions on the Titan. I think it would be cool to dual boot one of your ROMs with a 1.6 build.
Is anyone working on a NAND Android for the Titan?
i hope so... i got myns warm donut to work fine on my titan, but i had to do it from the sd card.. i figure all we need is a .nbh file, and we can nand this!
I have mssmison's eclair v7 (android 2.1) running off my SD card at a decent speed, i was suprised. its just about as fast as mym's warm donut build. im running a custom default.txt file and the eclair zimage and it seems to work well, not the fastest (fastest is probably the 1.5 ion build) but it works.
just outta curiosity (im a vogue user)
trying to help a friend with a mogul out.
You guys have a class 6 microsd? or is it class 4.
Speed ok with anything below a class 6 microsd?
Also did you guys partition it? ext2 or swap?
I really hope someone can add nand to the mogul.
im using a old class 2 microSD card, slow as hell but it dosent run extremely slow, i partioned ext2 and it ran at decent speeds, i want a better SD card so i can really see how android would run on the mogul but i dont have the money to (odviously or i wouldnt be using such a out of date piece of hardware)

Did you have to flash the NBH file to your phone to use this? If not could you post all the files you use?
I'm currently using the initial 1.5 version which is basic. It doesn't require flashing any files. All the files you need are just placed on the sd card.

um i dont think you can flash android on moguls yet; therefore no nbh can be used. I know nbh is becoming the newer way to have android on either nand or sd but the support isnt there yet for moguls.
The way the person above is using androind on the mogul is through the sd card. You have to (similar to the way you're using android on your phone now). I believe you are using haret.exe. Anyways to FULLY maximize performance for android on sd card, you have to partition the sd card (divide the sd card).
They way you're using it right now is only 1 partition (lets say you have a 2GB SD card formated to fat32 or ntfs).
However to make android run at decent speeds, you have to partition (divide that 2GB SD Card into 3 parts).
2GB SD card gets broken down and split up into:
*256MB formated to ext2 (instead of fat32)
*Another 256MB formated to ext2
*1536MB formated to FAT32 (where you put your data normally)
After you partitioned the sd card..... you now install android (instead of running it like you've been)
You run haret.exe as usual but theres and option to copy data and systemto the ex2 partitions you made on the sd card.
the 2 ext2 partitions above will be contain the android data and system files
and will make android run faster because android files are all in that partition and it doesnt have to search and filter through your user files.
In my signature theres a video on how to partition your sd card.... but you have to figure out how to get your sd card to detect on your computer..(via card reader or other methods)
Thanks for the info intimidatorx31. That helps out tremendously. However, on the newer builds of android that are posted, instead of having the traditional system.img and rootfs.img files there is an androidinstaller.tar. Do I now use that? Also, which files go on each of the 3 partitions? On all of the directions I've found have only stated to put the downloaded files in the "andboot" folder.

You're right; forgot everything has moved to andboot folder setup with no more roofts as well.
Well the android rom im using (Myn's warm donut for the vogue) has
the classic sqsh files which is what YOU need to run it off sd card using haret.exe (running off sd card).

Remember if you are using off sd card its highly recommended to partition the sd card; so it doesnt have to search the entire sd card...itll just have to search within that partition you've created (ext2 partition which is recognized by android)
Thanks again for the info.

have a few questions if anyone can help:
1. when i go here to get the myns warm donut version post am i supposed to use the SQSH version? if not i should be using the NoMoRootFs 240x320 version correct?
2. how do you install the mssmison's eclair or myn's warm doughnut? I just come back with errors each time.
3. what is the correct setup of the 3 partitions? I used partition manager 9 and made 3 partitions, but when i tried to install android there was no option to choose a partition.
4. is mssmison's more stable than myn's doughnut?
Sorry for all the questions, i'd love to mess around with android, but my last install was the myn's warm doughnut sqsh version, and it was installing for like 2 days....scrolling a bunch of files repeatedly it got up to 53276.1234 until i finally just said forget it, and rebooted. If anyone can help i'd be GREATLY appreciative!!
Thanks Gang!
miraclmoore, read the post a few above mine, it explains how to partion the SD card, and how i did it? custom default.txt, zimage for the mogul and a little technical knowldge, prettymuch all you have to do is put the androidinstall.tar in the andboot folder and run haret.exe then as soon as it vibrates press and hold the center button til the install screen appears, select to put data and system on ext2 and install it, runs with no errors (except completely randomly tty access errors when it first starts but those dont matter)
just wondering.....
nyterage..where did you find the custom default.txt and zimage for the mogul? considering all builds are for vogue, kaiser, and polaris? also when I use myns sqsh the system tries to create a new dataa store instead of just using the sqsh files like i've seen in others installations. I used partition manager 9 to partition my card. also do u need to give the 2 ext partitions drive letters? hope I am not asking stupid question as this is all a little new to me.
So am I completely boned if the down direction on my d pad is doesn't work? I can get to the install menu but then I can;t do anything at it
can someone provide a exact instructions on how to get a ppc 6800 titan.
i have spl-2.40
ppck 23569 image installed.
i couldnt get the android 1.5 to work from the "android packages" thread.
can someone say if this (android 2.1) or if android 1.5 working on the ppc 6800 titan thread.
if it is working please provide an exact instructions on how to get this working with the exact files needed for the sd card method im guessing.

Any build I use when I get to the install screen to select where I want to install it, I cannot select anything. Only 2 things I can highlight in the list are install to NAND and quit.
The proper options are selected by default buy I cannot get to menu option 1 to do the install.
Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like despite the fine work that the devs are doing lots of people are having lots of issues. I had mine last week and worked myself into a real mess. So now that I'm starting fresh with a BN-partitioned and -updated to 1.4.2 NT. I'm taking my time about touching stock rom this time around. Easy enough to do since I am successfully running CM7 off a 16gb sd card with the neatest dual boot system I've seen yet: cold boot=cm7; reboot=stock. Love it!
However, I would like to be able to use the NT for my apps and use the whole sd card just for media files. So I would like to root it and sideload apps. I haven't seen a report yet from anyone who has been able to successfully root an NT that was partitioned and updated by BN. If you have, please let us know how you did it and how it's working.

I haven't done it myself yet but there's a thread under the Nook Tablet General about a few people had B&N re-partition and don' seem to have any problems.
"Barnes & Noble Nook TabletNook Tablet GeneralB&N To Repartition Tablets"
(don't know how to add the hypertext link).

I had no problem rooting using Albert Wertz's newest SD card rom (4.6) on a B&N-repartitioned nook running 1.4.2. It went very smoothly (both the repartitioning and the re-rooting) and everything is working great. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Hope this helps!
---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
I just re-read the initial post and I see that you asked for details. Here's exactly what I did (please forgive the extreme detail--I just wanted to cover every step):
First I unrooted my tablet and returned it to stock factory condition (opened Nook Tab Recovery flasher, then pressed the button for "Flash Stock Recovery;" then I opened Nook Unroot app and ran that). When it was back to stock condition and running 1.4.0 (that's how it was when I bought it), I manually added the 1.4.2 update I downloaded from B&N's site to my SD card and restarted the nook. It loaded 1.4.2. Next, I removed my SD card and headed out to the local B&N. The first employee I met took my tablet and began the process by erasing and deregistering it from the settings menu. He didn't ask for a receipt or look for evidence of rooting or anything else--he just got to work! Once the nook was erased and deregistered, he powered off and placed the store SD card in my tablet, then rebooted by plugging the nook into a wall charger and letting that power the tablet on. Once the new software loaded, he rebooted the nook and I re-registered and checked the software version (1.4.2) and the partition sizes (all as promised) and that the tablet was working fine. No problems at all. Total time in store: about 10 minutes.
Once I got home, I went to my computer and downloaded Albert Wertz's newest SD root rom onto my desktop, inserted a reformatted 32 GB Micro SD card into my computer, and followed Albert's instructions via his youtube walk-through. It's all here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630
After I rooted and rebooted system, I checked the software version (still 1.4.2) and checked for partition size (still had all the new space from B&N repartition--yay!).
The whole re-root took far less time than it took me to type this reply, as did the B&N repartition. It all seemed pretty easy and painless and my nook is now running all my android market and amazon apps as well as a few I bought from B&N. Everything's working flawlessly so far. Again, i hope this helps someone!
The fact that is partitioned has nothing to do, as i have explained before the File System Name of the partitions are still the same and they keep having the same format (/media : fat32 ; /userdata : ext4). So that has nothing to do, as for the Firmware version 1.4.2 it can be rooted using the sdcard root >> development section BUT you will not be able to sideload (at list the easy way) so that for me is not a worthy update.
I recommend you to go back to 1.4.0 IF your Nook Tablet is the 16GB model.
~ Veronica
As I said above, I'm rooted using 1.4.2 on a 16GB tablet and I sideloaded half a dozen apks and hundreds of files yesterday alone. I sideloaded the DC Comics app, the Comixology app, NookHome, Marvel Comics app and others and they all work fine. I used them all last night. Not sure why other people are having problems...Is it just the 8GB nook that has sideloading disabled with 1.4.2?
Hi guys,
So I was just browsing ebay and came across a brand new 16 gb nook tablet and was able to grab it for under 200, so I caved in and bought it.
This is my first tablet and I've done some minor homework to figure out what I want to get out of it.
Basically, I've deduced I'm definitely going to root it, the question being whether to go with the CM7 or CM9. Since I'm just going to be using it for general use, I think I'll go with CM7 since from what I've read that is the most stable system right now. I think I can find the resources on here to do that.
The next thing is, I am not interested in buying an SD card, so I was looking around for ways to unlock the full 16gb of memory and saw this thread about repartioning:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531120&highlight=use+16gb
So basically, I just want to confirm if my approach is correct. Since I want to root it for optimal use and get the full 16gb, the correct things to do are
1. Root with CM7 procedure
2. Follow that thread to repartition
Is that correct? Just want to make sure I have the proper procedure down
Thanks
Well if you're just using it for general use and you're not planning on running intensive games or watching HD YouTube vids, I'd go with cm9. Just for one reason, the layout in apps. Not so much market apps except for a select few they are really well designed but the Google apps: They're so much better laid out for a tablet, cm7 feels to me like you're using a big gingerbread phone and I hate it. Just compare the Gmail apps, just do it. If no hw accel doesn't bother you and you don't mind a little less battery life (its a minimal difference, using wake lock to stop SODs) then definately go with cm9! As for rooting I'd watch Alberctwertz's YouTube channel, great tutorials over there. I don't know about repartitioning, I haven't messed with mine and I have all 12 (well 11 really) gb of internal open to me. Just IMO.
Hope it helps

Thanks for the quick response. So if I understand correctly, simply rooting to CM9 will open up 11gb of space no problem?
Also, if I do this, will it be easy to upgrade once an improved version of CM9 comes out?

It looks good, except in between 1 and 2 you need to have flashed clockworkmod onto the internal storage. Indirect's clockworkmod flasher apk is somewhere in the forums.
And no, it won't free up 11 gigs. The problem is that the /data partition has a huge chunk of storage. That's where all your apps are stored. I mean you could always store things in /data if you really wanted.
Yes, upgrade will be easy. With clockworkmod it's simple, you just select to "apply update from zip", and wipe cache and you're good to go.
Just went ahead and ordered a 16 gb micro sd on amazon for 10 bucks to give myself the extra storage + easy rooting, so that should pretty much cover all the problems.
However I'm still confused about this 11 gb that is "locked" or whatever. After a root, is that data accessible for storage? I'm not really sure what people are talking about in reference to that

If I remember right, its available but not in the "My Nook" partition that mounts on your PC (this will show as .99gb). So you won't be able to transfer stuff directly from your computer to the nook internal. By re-partitioning, you make it so the mounted internal drive is all of the available internal storage.
As of right now, CM9 does not mount internal at all though. CM7 does as well as the stock B&N OS.
you can use CM9 or CM7 or you can just root it. but i recommend either root it or try CM7, CM9 seems like there are many issues.
it has 16 GB, but only 13 GB is available to use, and in that 13 GB: 12 GB is used for B&N content, you have only 1 GB to use.
if you follow that thread, you still don't have 16 GB (because only 13 GB is available to use)
and instead of doing it yourself, why don't you let B&N do it?
btw, you should use sd card, it's not that expensive and you'll need it to root or install CM7,... most programs store data in sd card, you can also use a sd card to backup,....
Before you do anything, i recommend that you boot into CWM from an sd card and make a full backup of the stock tablet. Also go into settings and record all the unique numbers like the serial and the MAC address in case you brick it at some point and have to fully scrub it to unbrick it.

First, take a look at this thread for creating a Root/ROM/Recovery SD card by Albert Wertz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528625
Follow those steps, and you can install any ROM you want on your Nook, painlessly. I second the recommendation that you back up your unrooted Nook before you do anything else.

Thanks for all the input guys! Will definitely keep you posted once it gets here and I get to work.
I'm still a little confused about the 13 gb that is locked... so even after a root, that is still only available for B&N content...? That's what has me lost, I don't get how rooting wouldn't unlock that to be used for any type of content
yes, why is the 13 gb still un-usable ?
hmmm, if you boot up an 'os' ( cwm 7.2 or 9 ) on the external sd card, and then the internal structure has to stay the way it is... the internal 'has to be' un-modified in order for it to boot up into stock nook 'os'.
but when the dev gurus get all done with the replacement of the internal 'os' ( next month ? ) then we will be 'in charge' and get to use the memory the way we want.
still confused

In order to get the rest, you must repartition your NT so all of the space is usable.
Barnes and Noble's method will take you back to completely stock. You will have to reroot and reflash everything again. That's why it's recommended that you do it manually following the steps in the link I provided.

Oh, then yes. It looks like your NT was already partitioned by Barnes and Noble. They changed your media partition from 1GB to 8GB (7.5GB usable).
ahhhhhh.... thanks so much, i thought i was losing my mind. what i was seeing didnt match up with the above discussion. thanks again
No problem. Glad to hear you aren't losing your mind!
So if I'd like to get mine repartitioned by B&N before rooting I can do that? Do I just go to their b&m store and request to see a technician?
A copy of this thread is in general discussion here for the new people to comment, and a copy will be placed in development. Links to come.
Disclaimer: Rooting your internal memory card is a violation of the warranty agreement between you and Barnes and Noble. That being said, what Barnes and Noble doesn't know, wont hurt them. If you can return it to stock, they dont care. The tricky part is, this is all on YOU. You are not being persuaded to modify your device. You do this at your own risk. Under no circumstances is anyone required to help you fix a tablet that you bricked.
Modifications to the boot files to make it possible for these hacks to work on the 8gb Nook Tablet were made by Meghd00t at this thread
Notes: If you have an 8gb NT, Do not use the recovery flasher app to flash CWM and replace stock recovery, just work off of the cwm on the bootable SD card. There is currently not an easy way to revert back to stock recovery for the 8gb NT.

Card Type ?
Hello
First off of course is to thank the folks who make these options available to us !!! I can stress enough how much I appreciate this material.
The question: Locally atm I can get some 8 GB microsd cards in the class 4 (cheaper) or 10 variants. For making the root card, and also for making the R3 card is a class 4 card fine ? Or is a class 10 a far better option ?
I've done considerable reading and some vid watching so far and am gathering my materials to begin work on my NT
Very exciting stuff !

I recommend a Class 4 SanDisk card. SanDisk seems to be a brand that is pretty reliable in the NT.
As for the classes, a Class 4 should suit you just fine. All that a class number tells the consumer is the sequential read/write speeds (copying and moving files for example.)
The SD card attribute that we NT users should be looking at is the 4IN random read/write speeds. The faster this is, the smoother a ROM running from that SD card should be.
If you're more interested, you can test the speeds of your SD cards by using a PC program called CrystalDiskMark.
B&N Repartition ?
Hiya - another Q :
Considering running in to B&N real quick and doing their repartition before I get started. If I read correctly I should still be able to use the created microsd card to root etc. In particular was planning to do the R3 card at the moment.
Is that a worthwhile move ? Does the root open up all that protected storage anyways making the B&N repartition a moot point ? If I wasnt rooting I'd do this anyways. Does the repartition change what rooting options are available to me from others ? For example I see a number of options where they state that it works only for the 16 GB version and not the 8 GB version. If I do this repartition is my nook now considered in the 8 GB class when considering root options ? Or will it be considered in the 16 GB class always even with the B&N reparition ?
TY for all replies !

Okay, so a couple of things to say here.
Your 16GB NT will always have the 16GB rooting/custom ROM options, changing the partitions will not reduce your options (unless you manage to mess up the partitions somehow).
Whether you do a manually repartition and choose how much storage you want allocated OR you take your NT into Barnes and Noble, you will still be able to run the R3 card.
Barnes and Noble's repartition only frees up half of the internal data space which turns out to be a little less than 8GB I believe. A simple root will NOT open up any more storage space than before unless you repartition.
If you'd like to do the manual repartition, I can go find the link for you. If you're not comfortable doing that, you'd best head over to the local B&N and have them do it for you.
Error While Making Backup
UPDATE:
I did get it to backup. I vaguely remembered reading somewhere about swapping to a different card for backup for size. So I tried another card and the backup completed. So looks like I was just running into a wall of not enough room on the card. For the life of me I just couldnt find that post or info again after that, lol. Yes I am a noob and thanks for bearing with me.
I've also successfully loaded / changed to a bunch of ROM's so far as well. Checked out CM7b, the default 999 on card, and then finally went back and did a basic root on my v143 backed up rom. I've stopped at the rooted v143 for tonight because of time and to ease myself into the changes.
So I'm mostly set so far
2 Questions:
1) The video states that NT Hidden Settings needs to be updated in order to gain the OTA blocker. However when I visit google play it doesnt show "update" as an option. And I dont see the OTA entries in settings that the video says I should see. I saw in another thread that someone noted this as well, but didnt see a reply.
2) On the video I see the version as CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
In the R3 I created from the files current as of yesterday I see it as v5.0.2.8
Does that mean the version on my R3 is older than the one used in the video ? Or am I just misinterpreting the version numbers.
---------------------------------
Original Posting below:
Was near B&N today and as per the previous post decided to just let them do partition and reinstall to save myself that step. And to have the option to backup my nook to stock with the already set repartition in case I want to go back in the future. They did the repartition and reset. She went through the update to v1.4.3 before I realized she was at it. However I read that this works with 1.4.3 anyways so didnt fret too much. So upon leaving and back at home the nook was all repartition and 'hunky dorey'
Used an 8 GB Scan Disk class 10 MicroSD card (was on sale and almost as much as a 4).
Followed the instructions and apparently successfully made the R3 Card.
Booted up into CWM fine without needing the power cord.
Menu'ed to 'backup and restore', then to 'backup', device goes through a lot of the process before eventually giving the error:
Error while making a backup image of /data!
Update : Figured it out - see above
TY
Starting Point
I have searched through the threads on this and in Development. Does the starting point for using this ROM need to be stock B&N or can I start from CM7 and flash this and have it replace the current ROM? One method is shorter than the other but if it doesn't get me to where I want to end up there is no point. Thanks (be semi gentle if I missed a previous reference that answers my question)

What exactly do you want to do?
I am currently running CM7 and want to switch to Alberts v4.7 ROM. I vacilate - primarily because of Netflix and other videos I download and watch - between the two options. I used his v4.6 prior to CM7 and didn't keep a backup so the process is more involved now.

As long as both ROMs can use the same kernel, you can flash over your current ROM to switch to the new one. Just be sure to use the proper ClockWork Mod flashing instructions.

Can anybody answer these 2 questions - please - or point us to the answer.

1. I think OTA blocking was added to the app later on.
2. It could be that you're using an earlier version of CWM. I've used the first version ever released on my NT16 and haven't had any trouble.

Sir
Is there a way to gain access to the files, need to build my own sd cards as I have lost everything.
I just purchased a nook 16gb tablet and want to replace the nook software with cm7. I have been reading and there are so many different methods I'm not sure what to do. Can someone point me in the right direction? It has 1.4.2 on it and I want to completely replace it with cm7. No need for the nook software.
1.) Make bootable CWM recovery SD card, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446987
2.) Download CM7 internal version, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
3.) Download latest gApps, found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
4.) Place the CM7 zip and the gApps zip on My NOOK internal memory (mnt/media partition).
5.) Boot into your CWM SD card (plugging into the charger may be necessary to get it to boot from SD).
6.) Wipe dalvik cache
Factory reset
Install the CM7 ROM from internal SD card
Install gApps from internal SD card
Reboot
7.) Enjoy!
Thanks for the detailed answer. Will this give me access to more than 1gb of space or do I need to repartition the memory as well?

You will still need to partition. If you live near a bn store you could have them do it for you since you haven't changed anything yet, but it isn't that difficult to do yourself.

Note: having B&N do it will give you less space to use than if you do it yourself.
I used the repart.img from the bn 1.42 factory recovery to get 8 gb. Is there an easy way to get more space?
Here is the way to choose how much storage you want divided between partitions. Just folllow the directions and you should be okay.

If i screw something up can I use the repart.img sd card to get back to where I'm at now?

Yes, you should be able to get the partitions back to factory stock if necessary. However, many people have used this method without trouble, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I know it seems daunting but if you follow the steps exactly and execute the commands as shown, you'll be just fine.
Well so far I have cm7 installed with 8 gb of usable space and haven't had any problems. Thanks for the info and reassurance. I will try to repartition it again after work.
I notice everyone seems to be running cm9. This tablet is mainly going to be used by my daughter to read books, play games, and watch side loaded video. Is the current build sufficient for that or should I wait for a later one?

If I were you, I'd stick with CM7 for now, at least until the devs publish a release candidate with the 3.0x kernel.
For what your daughter is planning to do, CM7 will fit the bill nicely; the only thing to be aware of is WiFi hangups -- you need to show her how to turn the WiFi off before turning the screen off, or show her how to reboot the tablet.
Saludos,
Steve

Everyone is definitely not running cm9, as of a few weeks ago, according to my poll here.
With that said, unless your daughter plans on using Netflix/higher end games, I'd check out CM9. The CM9 .04 version is extremely stable aside from hardware acceleration.
I was referring to the people responding to my questions based on their signatures. I will have to check it out. She won't be playing any high end games.
I installed cm9 and gapps then repartitioned the internal memory. Everything seemed to go fine but I can't see the internal memory from my pc. Unless I have an sd card mounted it doesn't even give me the option to turn on usb storage. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
For rock solid stability, since it would be used by your daughter, stick to stock firmware, root and install gapps via memory card the img file and apps are posted in relevant thread in development section for rooting 1.4.2. than install a launcher of your choice i prefer holo launcher as it gives the ics feel. All other builds cm7 and cm9 are battery suckers.
All roms dont support micro sd and internal memory together Stick to stock firmware. Try disabling adb debugging mode to enable usb file transfer.
I guess if i would open my eyes I would have noticed it is listed as a known cm9 problem. I really like the look of cm9 but think I'm gonna have to wait till they get a few more things working. I never really considered stock with another launcher. I may play around with that a bit and see what I like. Thanks for the suggestion.
