First, I would like to thank cicada for the 0.6.8 image, thecubed for sdcard bootable CWR image, shad0wf0x for his stock images, dalingrin for his kernel, rookie1 for his buttons, Wretchedlocket for his icon and theme help and samuelhalff for his help and his CWR image that I customized. This should fit on a 2GB or larger sdcard.
I've created a custom image for an SDCard using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 as a base. This will fit a 2 GB or larger sdcard. If you want the sdcard to be larger, you will need to delete the 4th partition and recreate it. It should be a FAT32 format and give it a label of sdcard. Added custom bootanimation.zip designed just for us Chuck6993. Thank you Chuck6993. If you like the bootanimation, please visit his thread and get him some beer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952188
Instructions:
Burn image to sdcard
Boot Nook with sdcard
Changelog:
4/29/11
Added a status bar toggle
Added a feature to put up a notification as to the status of the status bar (this feature can be turned off in Nookie-Froyo Utils)
Added QuickDesk
Cleaned up the icons (I am finally happy with them... draw9patch)
Updated Nookie-Froyo Utils
Point of interest: If you set QuickDesk as your default launcher and add the status bar toggle to QuickDesk, you will be able to double tap the home button to hide or show the state bar.
4/3/11
Status Bar and Notification window in black
No-frills CPU Control added
Added the following lines to init.rc
Code:
# sd card read speed fix
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb 2048
Updated NookColor Utils and rename it Nookie-Froyo Utils
- Forced Status Bar options added
- Change density and added new densities options
- Moved Reboot to about tab
- Added Poweroff to about tab
Updated to dalingrin's 3/31/11
Cleaned up the spacing on the status bar... Icons are not jammed up against the clock
3/31/11
dalingrin's 3/28/11 NF kernel
Cleaned up the status bar
Long press on home virtual key to pull up recent apps
Force the status bar in all application; look under NookColorUtils (I am not happy with this app, I am going to completely rewrite it shortly.)
Fixed strange flick behavior on status bar (I have not worked on the flick up and flick down yet)
Browser fix is included in the image
For more on the status bar, see this thread.
Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock
Issues:
If flash is not working in either Dolphin or the Android Browser, you most likely cleared dalvik-cache.
The fix: I have included a copy of flash on the sdcard partition, if flash stops working, go to the sdcard in Astro and tap not press the flash apk. You will be prompted to open the app manager. Uninstall flash then go back into Astro then tap it again to reinstall it. After that is done, go to both Dophin and the Android Browser and delete data and cache under the applications in settings.
3/18/2011:
Unzip the attached framework.zip and copy to /system/framework/
This will be difficult for Windows users unless you have adb installed, but I would like some Linux users to test it out. I will try to write a script/app that will unzip and copy directly on the device. If someone else wants to write the script that would be okay too. I am try to avoid making everyone re-image their sdcard just to get the update.
Now to the good stuff, I have everything, messages, buttons and icons on the status bar centered vertically and the drop down notification bar is full screen at 160 LCD density.
Let me know how you like it and how you installed it. We need to come up with a easy install for non-techies that boot to the sdcard.
3/15/11 version 3:
Cleaned up the buttons on the status bar
Cleared out data and rebuilt it (I think this is will fix the problem with the market and wifi. Sorry to make you download and burn it again.)
Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock
In the works:
Make the notification drop-down take up the full width of the screen
Move the status bar to the bottom
Make the start bar black
3/14/11 version 2:
dalingrin's latest kernel (dalingrin, if you are reading this, great work)
Add rookie1's buttons to the status bar (Thanks Rookie1!)
I still have some things to clean up but it is working well. Click the N button twice to bring up softkeys whenever there is no status bar.
Put on dalingrin's latest kernel. (If you want to overclock it, you must use SetCPU)
Using ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5
Changed build.prop back in a hope to improve video
LauncherPRO <----------
DO NOT DELETE THE SOFTWARE THAT CICADA INSTALLED. (If you delete the default software, market will not display all the packages.)
Use dd or www.winimage.com to burn the image to the sdcard. Under the disk menu, choose your drive, then under the disk menu, choose restore image. Use easeus.com to resize the last partition.

I'll try it out when I get home. So you resized data or whatever for an 8 gig card?

Yes, the 4th partition.
Looks awesome - cannot wait to try it (once i can download it). Thanks for the work!
will give it a go once I get home
I can confirm that this will work using Win32DiskImager to burn to an SD card.
Great work
Awesome works well with win32.
Does this actually require i use an 8gb sd card? Or can I use any size? Cause I have 2gb, 4gb and 16gb... but no 8's...

It will need at least 8gb to fit the sdcard image. I'm using a 16gb and it works fine, however I am wasting space.
BTW OP can you make a 16gb version? It would be much appreciated.
Can someone tell me how to create this as a 2gb image? I would love to learn it and not just have it given to me.
I can make a 2 and 4 GB version, but I would need to know the last block number for each. For a 16 GB version, I can give instructions how to blow away the partition, recreate it and reformat it.
very nice! runs a little laggy from my class 4 card though.
if i can ever get my ADB working, i'm running this from my internal memory for sure.
I'd like a 4GB version please!
Disk /dev/sdb: 3963 MB, 3963617280 bytes
122 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders, total 7741440 sectors
The end block on the last partition according to fdisk -l is 7741439
Hopefully that's what you're asking for!

Instructions would be great. I just dislike having 8gb of unused space.
And thanks for putting this together, this is my first foray into Nookie Froyo and you have made it a blast!

I've created a custom image for a 8GB SDCard using 0.5.9 as a base. I used dd to copy it to the card. I am not sure if winimage will work. Just unzip it first. If anyone test it, let me know so I can change this. The physical N key has been configured as: One tap = Softkeys, Two taps = Zeam, and Long tap = Recent Task. Let me know if you like it.

I am sorry for being a noobie but how do I go about installing this ? I already have my NC rooted and I have a 8 gig sdCard. I also have winimage on my pc. What should I do with the *.img file and how should I partition my sdcard? Any tips or a "small" walk-through or guide would be very helpful to me and maybe a few others.
Thank you for your hard work with this ... it sounds great !!

If you check the original Nookie Froyo thread there is a step by step there, but the basics are:
Boot up WinImage
Choose "Restore Virtual Disk Image"
Choose your SD Card
Navigate to your .img file
Hit Apply, wait about 10-20 minutes (depending on card speed)
Turn off Nook Color
Insert SD Card
Boot up Nook Color
Wait about 3-4 minutes after boot for everything to "warm up"
Enjoy

download the zip of froyo, extract it to your desktop. open winimage, click the button with the three little dots. select the file you just extracted, make sure it's going to write to the drive with your SD card, click the write button.
thats it, throw the SD card in the nook and boot it up.

So I repartitioned my media and storage drives yesterday, and although I did have a few problems (post #156-158) I finally managed to repartition and proceeded mounting the drives in 1.4.1 rooted B&N. Also checked if they worked via usb to computer which they did. I then decided that I wanted to try cm7 today and installed it flawlessly. Only problem is that now my newly resized 10GB internal media partition don't show up. So tried installing the;
[CM7][GB] Soft-mod RibbonICS ROM by veronica, but still no change.
In the storage settings i've tried to mount the
Additional storage/mnt/sdcard/_internalSD but doesen't work and thats probably also just the folder I created myself as instructed in the soft-mod.
So yeah I'm wondering if I can only use the extended media part in stock rooted B&N or if its got to do with the problems I had with the process. Or mayb I just need to mount the media drive somewhere?
Please help
Went into adb-shell in CWM and checked via the p command if the media drive was there which is was
(looked like this: 10 1611MB 11.6GB 9989MB fat32 media msftres)...so it really should work.....shouldn't it?
Edit: actually the above is not entirely correct: I have found my media partition in the file browser now but its just not really accessible it seems. Is it just not mounted or what?
Included in the soft-mod for cm7 is also an application called multi-mount sd lite which should help with this but it force-closes on me even after i fix permissions need help with this..
nook tablet cm7 can not access internall sd
Hi
I loaded cm7 onto my nook tablet 16g internal SD using your latest Zip and it worked like a charm. Thank everybody.
only problem I have is that I can't access the internal SD from my windows computer. It accesses the external one fine but not the internal one.
can download app into internal via web and brows around it.
It doesn't seem to be mounted for external USB access.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks Martyn
There's a typo in two lines of the build.prop. Described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540272&referrerid=4611244
But the link to the corrected build.prop there doesn't work! There's a good link further down the thread...but I attached mine here if you want to use it.
Just download to the root of your removable sdcard and install it from CWM. Or extract it and copy it to /system with your favorite file explorer to overwrite the "typo" version.
EDIT: by "mine" I mean my copy of Celtic's.
OOPS!
Sorry. My reply above was to kingtechmartyn, not the OP domiel...didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Just remember when changing build.prop to always make a backup of the original so if you want to revert you can.
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda premium
I don't know if its specific to root explorer or not, but whenever I modify a build.prop that I have navigated to via root explorer, it automatically adds a .bak extension to the original build.prop file.
for an edit of build.prop, be sure to use the correct edit tool which places a 'line feed' at the eol and not a 'carriage return and line feed'.

you are right, normally a backup is automatically created. But, I have seen a lot of requests since November when we started messing with this device of people making mistakes and not having a backup. So it is always a good idea to copy and then save to the sd card just in case.
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda premium
Well to be quite honest, before you make any sort of system modifications, you should always make a nandroid backup.
Having a backup of the build.prop or whatever file is nice because it allows you to quickly revert. But a nandroid backup protects you from when the damn thing decides to temp brick.
build prop differences
Also be aware that the build prop typo correction from the Team B CM 7 release (and I believe the RC2 release from a different source I cannot remember) is different from the mods Veronica released - she has developed her own build prop to handle the internal storage. I also had problems with the included Multi Mount SD Card Lite included in her mod and purchased the full version for $.99 which corrected the problems. Also note that there is an underline before _InternalSD in the full release of her mod which is different from just the small mod that handles the Internal over External SD card. Make sure you are being consistent with the folder name you create with the mod version you have installed.

exactly, if more people would do this there might be fewer issues due to being able to restore if there is a oops moment.

Hi Bernardicus
Thanks heaps you are a champion!
I don't even know how to get terminal into su yet so you zip was a god send.
Now I have to work out how to enlarge the 1g of memory, i must admit it's very fulfilling modifying my Nook, looking forward to be proficient enough to return the favors from you all.

Absolutely correct. I'm running her ribbon ics mod now on top of the Team B CM7 ROM (and loving it). She also modded the vold.fstab in /system/etc to reflect those changes in build.prop. I ended up replacing her vold.fstab with the Team B version and editing her build.prop to reflect the corrected "typos" in the Team B build.prop. (I know, I de-modded the mod, but for some reason, using the multi mount widget to do something that the OS should handle made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!)
I'm spending more time modifying this thing that actually using it! But it has been fun.

You need a fast SD card.. but yeah this is awesome.
:- edit
on your phone:
1. install app.
on your pc:
2. make sure doom 3 is installed on ur pc and updated to 1.2
3. open your doom 3 folder and grab the base folder.
4. copy to SD or internal storage.
on your phone:
5. point app to doom 3 base forder that you copied.
:-edit
So by now you probably noticed... "OmegaRED^.. this thing loads really long."
Well it has to extract everything it's loading.. each time writing to the storage.
But it can be made.. much much faster.... the price is storage space.
Back in the day when doom3 took ages to load pc users used to pre extract the .pk4 files to load faster.
This still works now.
The easy way to do this is to use this tool .
http://www.moddb.com/games/doom-iii/downloads/idtech4-file-unpacker-15
Unpack all the doom3 files on your pc and copy them to your device into the "base" folder. "copying will take some time"
-Now you are playing DOOM3
You can now enable lighting and some other effects.
Will make a custom config for the doom 3 engine that's optimized for this device here.
I am in no way affiliated with ID Software
The Dii4A app available on is the work of another developer not me.
But please do consider donating in the app to try get further updates and support.
as currently some mods crash such as the ROE expansion pack
And I suggest if your rom and it's settings is up to spec plugin some headphones.
That day not a single Thanks was given.
