INTRODUCTION
Now that Fattire has lifted his request that everyone build their own zips, I've decided to make available the nightly builds I've been generating. I've got an OS X system cranking out a new build every night at midnight, so there will always be an up to date zip available!
Credit for this rom goes to Fattire, Dalingrin, keyodi, nemith, arcee and the the other hard working people over in the development thread, as well as the the CyanogenMod developers and anyone who's done work on the Nook Color. I wish I could list everyone by name but there's so many great people who've made contributions I can't even begin to do so. I'm just building zips from the source; we'd be nowhere without the contributions these great developers have made to this community.
As nighty builds, these zips may not always work. I'll try to remove any zip found to be broken, but you know the drill: All files provided here are to be installed at your own risk. I'm making built zips available, but no warranty is expressed or implied by the hosting of said zips. I'll provide what support I'm able to, but that doesn't mean that there aren't potentially unknown bugs. If you have questions, you should check the development thread or try the #NookColor IRC channnel on irc.freenode.net.
As posted by Fattire slightly further down, anyone feeling adventurous should definitely consider building from source rather than downloading the built zips. Here's his two cents:

Want to build ICS from raw source code yourself?
It may be a good learning activity, and will certainly make you more self-sufficient. Hundreds have built ICS for Nookcolor successfully, and understanding the process will make you an Android ninja-- PLUS you can try features and bug fixes as-yet-unaccepted-into-the-mainstream build.

DOWNLOADS
Without further ado: The Ice Cream Sandwich zips!
Ice Cream Sandwich Nightly Builds.
The rom does not include the google apps, so you can/should flash the lastest version of those, which is available here.
Finally, I've hosted a few flashable zip files to make small tweaks to the rom. These are all located in the misc. folder on my server. Below is an explanation of each zip and its purpose.
MISC FOLDER INFO
If you notice that some apps are missing from the market, this may be due to the fact that these ICS builds for the nook do not include support for apps which request phone permissions. Although this ideally would be fixed by developers not requesting phone permissions for their app unless it absolutely needs to be phone-specific, you can also fix it by flashing the telephony-permissions-fix.zip file located in the misc folder. You will likely want to flash this file immediately after flashing your rom.
Secondly, if you prefer the old bootanimation from the galaxy nexus, you can also flash the fix-bootanimation.zip located in the Misc. folder, which replace the new CM9 animation it with Homer_S_xda's fixed version. Thanks to Homer for the fix!
NOTES ON INSTALLING TO SD
I've fixed Verygreen's sd installer image to work with ICS -- you should no longer have to flash SP1 first, or rename the gapps to gapps-gb. If you test out this image, please let me know how it works for you! More recently, Leapinlar has stepped up in helping to fix the image further, increasing its size to allow for the larger size of the new nightlies. Thanks to him for his help -- It's available for download here. Huge thanks to Verygreen for helping me to figure out what needed to be fixed -- in the words of HacDan, "He's not just super helpful, he's a genius". Once you've got the new image, you can use Verygreen's original instructions from his thread on SD Installs, replacing "cm7" with "cm9" where necessary.
IN CONCLUSION
Please remember to thank the developers working on this project, as they've done seriously awesome things for us in an amazingly short amount of time. If you have questions/comments specifically regarding my zips, please post them here, but if you have more general questions regarding Ice Cream Sandwich on the NC you may want to head on over to the development thread. Finally, if you're really enjoying the rom I'd strongly recommend that you try setting up a build environment and building your own zips -- even though I'm making prebuilt ones available they're no substitute for the experience gained by getting familiar with the build process yourself, and Fattire has done a great job of making it an extremely accessible and rewarding project.
Thank you!!!!
What bugs can we expect as far YouTube, flash player. Boot loop . A breakdown of what to expect and not to expect. I don't expect anything but like to know for flashing
And you can build too!

So awesome!
Youtube missing in latest gapps ?
I installed the latest nightly with the gapps and found youtube app is missing ?
Thanks for sharing! I love nook color devs community! You did an awesome job!
Brilliant work! I upgraded from CM7 and all my existing apps that ive checked worked no problem, it kept all my settings too! Speed-wise I would say its very close to CM7, i use ADW EX in preference to trebuchet, and it just flies!
One thing ive noticed is that NFS shift doesnt behave properly when using the tilt sensor to steer, its axis sensor wants the tablet to be in portrait orientation when the screen is in landscape. Hard to know if its the games fault or the sensor. If thats all there is to complain about this early in the development then the future looks promising

I think you can just get it in the market, I removed it to save space. Let me know if you have a problem downloading it.
Dual boot ?
I currently have a dual boot environment setup so I can boot into stock (primary boot partition is currently CM7). Does anyone know if this still supports that ? Anything specific I'd have to do with the install then ?
TIA
Thanks a bunch for hosting these nightlies.....let the fun begin!
I just want to point out for the sd-card users using verigreens 1.3 boot image to setup cm7 to run off of sd card and retain stock for various reasons.
That process will also work for ICS/cm9. Currently, you need to flash update-cm-9.0-0-encore-emmc-sneakpeek1-fullofbugs.zip first. It's found in the ics/cm9 dev. thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370873
Then, flash Samiam's nightly builds otherwise you will get stuck in a boot loop right now.
Ok just tested it and it works great.
Youtube works just not HQ, although I have to admit that for non HQ the quality and smoothness is very high.
Flash Player doesn't work but I think that has to do with 3D H/W acceleration.
Maps wifi location doesn't work allthough it did work on the normal version of the gapps so something is amiss there.
And I am also experiancing alot of hyper sensitivity especially when using two finger actions.
Otherwise all is well.
I'm gonna stay on cm7 for a while. But I love the progress were seeing with ics.. thanks guys

What version of the gapps did you have where the wifi location worked? If you link me to that I can see if there's something missing from my gapps zip.
YouTube is incompatible from the market. Actually, it appears any device I have that runs ICS is listed as incompatible.
youtube app missing in gapps

Unfortunately thats not the case when I search market it doesn't list YouTube app and when I
Google it takes me to mobile YouTube app in market that is not compatible with this device.
I salute you all dev. gurus.
Hat off and thanks for the ICS
Awesome thanks so much!
Hey,
awesome awesome work, thank you very much!
I have a slight problem with the GApps, though: I came from update-cm-9.0-0-encore-emmc-sneakpeek1-fullofbugs and just updated over that with some ics-apps installed. Unfortunately, I do not remember which ones.
Now after the update all my apps are there, but the home screen wiped (not so bad), but my Google Account vanished and I cannot add a new one. Neither in the Settings, nor by opening GMail, Talk, whatever. These will just crash.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again for all your work and energy, I really appreciate that.
Greetz,
Felix

EDIT: THIS THREAD WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO GET FULL CDMA SUPPORT ON ANOTHER MIUI ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27764320&postcount=52
First: ROM is in Alpha Development stage, you shouldn't install right now unless you would like to help me
Second: At any point in time, I or anyone on XDA may not be help accountable if you skrew something up and turn your phone in to a paperweight that looks like a gaming device. I will laugh at you if you do not follow directions and this happens to you!
Hey guys, first ROM I've ever build/ported and hopefully at some point this is a success!
So far I've finished my first attempt at porting all the folders and libs I've needed to, along with adding some permissions and adding some lines too the updater-script. I have basically no programming experience. So anyone who wants to Help, please do!
Reason for porting this ROM: I love MIUI and there is currently no version working well for the r800x (CDMA). It is ported from the MIUI Xperia Arc ROM, and based on cm9 fxp 125.
So far:
What works: Boot animation.
What doesn't: Everything else!
So, after this problem is solved, hopefully there wont be many other issues. here it is. Please feel free to Unarchive and help me out!

Thanks to
lighningdude: Mjolnir Kernel
Kieran: for being awesome
fxp: CDMA cm9 & kernel
proxuser: MIUI porting guide
I will wait for this ROM

Hello i am new on this site on android & on forum. kindly can any one help me? i need BBM for android 2.3.6 i tryed to install BBM from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496483
but its not working & pop up window open saying Sorry! The application BBM (process com.bbm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Fore close.
Can any one help me please.
No, you need to ask the developers, but I highly doubt they will listen
All force-closes create a logcat entry. It would be nice if people would provide the extra information found therein more often...
Ok, reading the post provided, the op sais you need to extract some libs and push them to /system/lib. did you pushed them?

I've tried that and it didn't work. It needs more development or wait until we have a complete functional Kernel and update to the latest Android version available.

"wait until we have a complete functional kernel"....so we don't have a complete functional kernel for GB (2.3.6, like your thread states you have and are looking for help with)? i'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about and clearly haven't read anything. a 30 page thread and countless complaints about fc, no activity since October. go post something like this over in that thread or contact the dev directly. on top of that, the dev's account has been disabled, which pretty much means drop it and move on.
"latest Android version available" - officially for us 2.3.6 rev 145, unofficially 4.2.2 (stable)/4.3 (semi-stable), 4.4 in idk what early stage of dev (contact epinter for update, but not an eta)
I have no idea what i'm talking about? Excuse me ohh allmighty lord who knows everything. I have a question for you. What is the minimum android version required to run BBM? 4.0 right? Do we have that officially? No, so we have to flash custom roms. Maybe he didnt because he wants everything working at 100% and sticks with GB. The dev of BBM for 2.3.6 isnt developing the app anymore so we need yo wait until that app gets to work on GB or wait for a complete and functional kernel for the devs bring to us a fully functional Android ROM based on 4.3-4.4. LEARN to read before treat someone like a stupid 5years old kid.

So I guess we're eagrly awaiting for this - I though I may as well open the topic.
The mention is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57265897&postcount=81
We have a bootable unofficial CM12 with system ui fcs if that helps...
http://www.miui.com/thread-2158714-1-1.html
New build is ready.....try this
thats not a new build.. thats simply a flashable zip to be flashed after flasing cm12 which removes the system ui, thus fixing the system ui force close bug. The author said it is just meant for us to play around with lollipop and not meant as a daily driver as there are still numerous bugs present
So, i saw many comments about asking about Nougat, features and stuff... that maybe could be solved all that questions in a thread. If this is pointless, just i'll ask an admin to clean this up... but the point of this thread is solve so common questions about the newer builds of nougat.
This build is stable?
The build is very stable, but not at the point of MM. There's some less battery performance but after all: that builds are in an alpha/beta stage, so... this things could happen. But after all, it works smoothly.
Nice rom, but when you can update it? When you'll fix the bugs?
Everybody's just love when there's an update date or release date, we know it. But please, don't ask ETA. It may annoy the developer, and after all, we're human and we have things happening in real life, so maybe the real life business take over the dev's time to make changes and test it. Be patient, please
There will be a fix for video recording?
The dev's (at this date) are working on it. The known workaround that could be useful is: You can use Cameringo Lite to solve it.
CM14 ONLY: There's CMTE? Can i use themes? X feature doesn't work, what's happening?
By now, the CM people it's working and rebasing their work on the new nougat AOSP. Maybe in october (or when they have it ready) they'll implement slowly all those features. And if some feature doesn't work on the CM14 version, please, remember: that's an alpha build and CM team is working to make it work. By now it doesn't seems to work but, it's an alpha build, that thing could happen.
If you want to theme your device, you could try substratum by now.
This doesn't work on X device, please help
Reporting issues are more useful to devs if you log it. If you have an USB, search in google how to install ADB and use logcat. If you can use the device, you can install catlog, record the log and replicate the issue. After that, copy or upload the log and send it to the dev.
Hope this helps!
will u build cm14 for vee3 ?
