Instructions:
Well you know just extract everything and put the build folder (the one with all the files in, for example ics, jelly) in the root of your sd card. If WM6.5 tap on clrcad (nothing appears to happen) then haret, if magldr navigate to build folder using ad-sd dir and select build folder name then boot AD SD.

Note that first boot will take about 10 mins (depending on size of data.ext4 created) and will end with the phone rebooting. Second boot will take less time and will show the boot animation (as opposed to portadroid screen in first boot). You are porting this build, it is so that some apps are put in data.ext4 file. You can safely delete root_tmp folder after second boot to save space. Remember to reboot x3. See parent thread for changelog. Use a 3rd part app for camera (eg camera illusion)

Pre-alpha versions 1&2 and alpha 3,4&5 softkeys
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29034218&postcount=166
Put system and meta-inf into /sdcard/ics-or-jellyb/root folder and reboot
As far as I can see it adds 2 lines to /system/build.prop
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
qemu.sf.lcd_ density=110
Not sure why lcd density is put to 110, it has no effect on actual lcd density.
Anyway, delete these lines to remove softkeys and before rebooting, make sure your root folder is empty, else it will re-install (yes, it happened to me)
You may find the some screens slightly messed up with softkeys added.
No soft power key yet. Try Quick Boot from market and add power off widget to homescreen, thanks liuhung.
Pre-alpha version 1 only
Softkeys can be got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28874557&postcount=92
Put system and meta-inf into /sdcard/jellyb/root folder and reboot
To remove, use the attached instead (it has original .apk)

the folder is named differently anyway. you can keep your existing build in ics folder, as long as you have space on sd card. It isn't laggy.

Have you read the latest developments regarding Artemis? The new version will be equipped with Microsoft Windows Embedded Mobile, so not WinMO 6.5.5 anymore. This means that the startup screen also changes to that! Great new developments are coming to us and our HD2!!!
Keep track of this my dear friend!!
It's about the same impact as JB versus ICS!!

So far so good...
I've noticed we have x2 calendar icons and x2 gallery icons.
There's no camera apk so i installed procapture but it failed to start the camera.
Tried Wifi and it works ok
Battery drains seems ok too.
This is what i have so far...

This is meant to be a basic guide to installing and maintaining Android (SD CARD/RAM) on your HD2
NOTE: This guide is not meant for NAND versions of Android installation !!
I want to thank all the XDA forum developers who have made it possible to put Android on the HD2. This is my attempt to make a simple guide for what can be confusing and somewhat scary process (It certainly felt like that to me!!).
For detailed information guide and FAQ please read this thread by mskip
For clear explanation of how things work in Android on HD2 these two threads have excellent detailed information:

Before you start you need this Info
Windows ROM version > All Ship ROMs are compatible
Radio Version > Radio needs to be 2.08.50.xx or more (x.xx.51.xx are not compatible)
SPL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to get the Info
For items 1,2 in WinMo look under Settings>About Phone>Software information
This info is also displayed on the bottom left corner (the numbers after the alphabets R,D,G) of your initial boot up white screen with green HTC logo
For item 3 >> Turn phone off > Press and hold Volume down button >briefly press release power button >SPL version is displayed on bootloader screen (Red/Green/White)

For those with Radio < 2.08.xx.xx you cannot install Android without upgrading your Radio (Flashing a new Radio) >> GO TO STEP A then STEP B
Click to expand...

STEP A (Flashing a new Radio)
If you do not have a compatible Radio version follow the steps below:
Upgrading to the newest HTC stock ROM: This process will upgrade your Radio version anyway (The latest 3.14 ROM has Radio version 2.14.50.4 which is compatible with Android installation): LINK HERE
If you don't want to / or can't upgrade to the latest HTC stock ROM you are going to have a slightly more complicated way
If SPL is 2.10.xxxx or below then use HSPL method. Click here
If SPL is more than 2.10.xxxx you have 2 choices (since HSPL does not work)
Use SSPL method click here
Downgrade your SPL and then use HSPL method click here

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP B (Installing Android)
If your Radio is compatible (>2.08.50.xx) then here is how to install Android on your HD2
1) Micro SDHC card
Should be atleast 4 Gb, Class 2/4/6/8/10
Formatted clean with 32 or 64 Kb cluster size
2) Install automatic boot loader on WinMo :
This allows you to choose between booting into Windows or Android on start up. From 2nd Android bootup onwards these programs will make it easier to load Windows/Android at startup and you can even specify autoboot into Android if you wish.
Download this as a cab file and install in the phone memory (not in SD card)
Android Loader v6.0 Final for HD2
Exceller bootloader
You can of course manually always boot up Android anytime from Windows File Explorer by running CLRCAD and then HaRET files included in the Android build (see below).
3) Android Build :
Download your chosen Android build on your computer.
Extract / Unzip the folder on the computer
Now copy into the Root of your SD card.
Folder should be labelled "Android"
Once copied into SD card you will see 2 files: CLRCAD.exe and HaRET.exe which have to be run to boot into Android.
There will also be other folders / files (Android Apps, initrd.gz, system.ext2, rootfs.img, zimage, startup.txt, ts-calibration) please leave them as they are.
There are many choices in builds available, such as - MDJ, Darkstone, MIUI,. Please search the forum to look at the different features. I can't advise you on what clothes to buy. The same reasoning applies to advising on Android builds, you have to find out what is right for you...Try the build, if you dont like it, just go for another build..copy and paste your new android folder over the old one and its done.....
4) Data.img :
Your build may have a ready-made one included in the build folder or available to download separately. Size of data image is upto you, 256Mb/512Mb/1Gb (or more). This determines the Size of your Android operating system space for settings and downloaded apps etc. Bigger size allows you to keep more apps etc.
>> At start up if you have a ready-made data.img file, booting up in Android is much faster (5-10 min). (You can choose the image size yourself with this option)
>> If you boot up without a ready-made data.img (Clean Install), then this is created by Android system at first bootup which takes longer (up to 30 min) Here the system will choose its own set default image size depending on startup commands in the build. Its not easy to change this size once its created (although it is possible)
5) First Android Boot
Once you have reached this step you are all set. It really is that simple!
These steps are performed with the phone booted in WinMo
Charge your phone to 100%. This ensures proper battery calibration.
In your File Explorer open the Android folder on the SD card
Run CLRCAD - Nothing seems to happens - This is normal. !!!
Run HARET - Small pop up window with grey progress bar appears with message HaRET LINUX BOOTING - You should then see some text lines in the top left corner of the screen and then a Splashscreen (blank screen with a HTC logo) Please be patient and allow time for the initial bootup.
If Android loads successfully, then (depending on your build )another Splashscreen will appear and then the Lockscreen for Android is launched.
Set up your phone for first use as per onscreen instructions and let all account finish syncing before doing anything else
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you are up and running here are some of my own tips to maintain your system.
1) Always back up of your data.img file on to your pc/mac (weekly)
This is better done in WinMo. This will mean that you can always have a failsafe arrangement for troubleshooting.
2) Troubleshooting (If you start getting data corruption errors or force closes .
> Make another Clean Install of the build -Boot into Android- Reboot in WinMo - Connect to Computer - Copy backedup data.img file into the New (compatible) Android folder.
DONE! you are back where you started. All apps, settings, contacts,emails, messages are saved as they were at the time of backup.
You can also use a backup programme like Titanium Pro. This is useful when going over to a completely different chef build as you cannot (usually) take your old data.img file across.
3) Changing kernels
Follow instructions on the relevant thread.
For MDJ / Hastarin Kernels the following steps work
Boot up in windows - copy 'zimage' and 'Root' folder (which has modules) from the new kernel and paste into your /Android folder on SD card (i.e replace zimage of old kernel).-
Boot up android - check for successful upgrade under Settings>About phone>Software>Kernel ... the new kernel should be listed.
On boot up android will copy the contents of the /Android/Root folder to the relevant place.
If upgrade is successful then while in Android use a File explorer (with root permissions) to delete the 'Root' folder within Android folder, as this is no longer needed.
Note: Some kernels require the Modules (wifi,bt,lights etc) to be copied manually using Root File explorer while booted in Android. Please check the relevant posts for correct steps.
4) Upgrading Android Builds
I always do a clean install i.e let the Android build its own data.img with a clean formatted SD card.
Once this is done then copy your old backed up data.img and overwrite the newly created data.img to get all your info and settings as they were.
Caution: data.img is usually not compatible across different chef builds and its best to start a clean install if you are going to use a completely different build altogether. You can get you settings back by using a backup programme such as Titanium. Google sync will get your Contacts and Calendar back anyway if you have synced it previously to Gmail account.
5) Improving Battery Life
Having read through a lot of forums and trying out various techniques here are tips that have worked for me.
Charge your phone in WinMo to 100% (Green LED) While still connected to charger boot to Android and wait for the LED to go green. Then disconnect from charger.
Autoboot before launching into windows/sense fully, I use Exceller autoboot in 3 sec.
Rebooting Android 2-3 times after initial install and letting it 'settle' for a 1-2 days
Turn off any functions not required e.g BT, WiFi, GPS, Autosync
Turn down screen brightness to minimum
Use a battery current widget to monitor drain
Conditioning of battery: Boot into windows when battery is @ 5%, Discharge the battery fully and let the phone turn off> charge fully to green LED while phone off >> Boot up in Android and continue charging till LED green>> One cycle every 2 weeks
Recalibration: In Android with File explorer (e.g ES Explorer), Choose settings, enable root access and then in Root delete ... /data/system/batterystats.bin . This should be done when 100% charged, Now disable root access in file explorer and close, Run the battery down fully and follow the step above...
Fully conditioned battery should show about 4.2 - 4.3 V charge at 100% (Free app Battery Indicator)
Dataswitch (free app) allows switching mobile data when phone is not in use such as during night time etc
I keep Airplane mode in windows as default before first boot in Android (Not sure if this really helps)
For me greatest battery drain seems to be when i am in area of poor phone signal> switching to 2G helps using Dataswitch app
Things that don't work:
Task killers are not really very useful according to Hastarin

"Radio Version > Radio needs to be 2.08.50.xx or more"
more correct
Noob question
Hi!
ive done all this last summer, and it all works fine.
but i wonder if android will work if you have the original WM6.5 insted of Chucky, and other costum ROM?
i mean, the customs are really ugly, and i never use them on dual boot - but i would use WM6.5 if i had the original one, with sense and everything.
the dual boot would be more useful. now i only use android.

I agree with you on that. The stock ROM work fine (check my sig) and to be honest I tried the custom ROMs but felt more comfortable with the Stock ROM. It means less messing around with your phone!
Its most important however that your Radio is compatible though. If its not then there is no choice but to Flash a new Radio ROM.
Seems to be well explained, thanks
What is the advantage of letting the Android build create its own data.img first and then overwriting it with your previous data.img?
Ahh i just told mate at work copy android to sd card run cllr then haret.
Worked fine lol

This only applies for Upgrading and not a New install. For a new install its always better to let the system create a data image or use the 'empty' image supplied with the build. Most builds have codes to create a default size image. If thats not to your liking then you can choose a supplied image of desired size and do the first boot up...
For upgrading purposes this method has advantages
1) it ensures a clean trouble free installation first time (makes sense to avoid any conflicts with the old data image on boot up.)
2) If there are any problems with the build then at least you can identify them before you transfer the old data image.

Hey, would doing this void my warranty/contract insurance?
Im on virgin media UK, if that helps.
Thanks for the great tutorial anyway
Unless u install a HSPL my understanding is that there is no reason to void your warranty. But I m no expert in these matters. Having said that my old hd2 touchscreen was freezing and I had hspl on it but managed to reinstall the original SPL back and returned it to virgin and this one is the replacement..they didn't complain ..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I have radio 2.07.51,22_2 and spl 1.42
Does that mean the only way I can do this is the HSPL method?
Great guide m8 good job well explained, but I dont know if this helps anyone but I always un-mount my SD card before a reboot or shutdown, on some builds it can reduce corruption to your data image (ie cedesmiths builds)

@ samdeath . Have u considered upgrading your HTC stock ROM? The new 3.14 ROM also upgrades ur radio. In that case there is no messing with HSPL. The other option is SSPL which does not change ur original SPL.
@ JR . In theory if u umnount the SD Card in Android, it only delinks the the SD card portion outside of your data image? If u umnount the whole SD card then android would crash.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I cant upgrade the stock rom, there isnt a virgin media rom on the htc website, and the normal one says my device is not eligible for it. However, ive installed HSPl now, and followed all the steps, changed the radio to 2.15 etc, However now ive just "installed" android for the first time and its been on the htc spash screen for like an hour. I did not use a data file, is this normal?
Using froyo hd v4.6 btw
Nookie Froyo 0.6.8
is a development build of Froyo 2.2.1 for the Nook Color.
ClockworkMod flashable! - info below, please *read carefully* before flashing!
This build is near-AOSP and contains almost no extra software not deemed required for the device to function normally.
It is pre-rooted with SuperUser, busybox, SoftKeys v3.07, and ROM Manager 3.0.0.5 however.
The eventual intention will be a build that other devs and users can easily fork and create their own custom builds, themes, roms, etc.
** THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT BUILD **
Use this at your own risk! Myself, XDA, and NookDevs are *NOT RESPONSIBLE* for anything that happens directly or indirectly related to this software!
We're approaching a daily driver! Most things work now, including mp3 and video playback. Post any bugs you find here!
I'd like to thank all the nook color devs involved in getting to this state, testing, documenting, etc. We've got an amazing group of minds behind this device!
INFO
The microSD card image contains 4 partitions:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 : boot (fat32)
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 : system (ext2)
/dev/block/mmcblk1p3 : data (ext3)
/dev/block/mmcblk1p4 : sdcard (fat32)
Use these partition IDs when following guides that require mounting/remounting filesystems.
What's Working:
MP3 playback
Video playback
Youtube, Pandora and other mp4 streaming apps (apps not included)
Accelerometer!
Wifi (adhoc + infrastructure!)
Graphics acceleration (LWP!)
Sound
Browser
Mostly working
Lockscreen is wrong size - REBOOT to fix
Not included / Not working
gapps ( gmail, youtube, maps, etc ) - can be installed, youtube fixed!
Bluetooth
FM radio
This build was created using the B&N kernel sources for 1.0.0, Omappedia's Froyo source ( currently RLS27.9.0.RC0 ), and binary drivers from TI for wireless, SGX530 acceleration, and DSP codecs.
Download:
This SD image requires a 2GB microSD card! Bigger is OK, smaller is not ok!
Note: if you wish to use a larger microSD card, you can use a partition editor to increase the size of the /sdcard partition (partition 4, fat32) *after* writing the image to your card.
Simply unzip this image and dd the file to your (empty) SD card, just like nooter.

ClockworkMod Flashable ZIP!
*IMPORTANT*
- please wipe data/factory reset if you're coming from B&N stock firmware or another rom!!
- please see other threads about installing and using CWM recovery - keep this thread to NF issues please
- this has been tested only using CWM 3.0.0.5 downloaded from market, be warned it may not work with IOMonster's kit or other versions. Let us know if you try and it does!
- replaces kernel and ramdisk - if you were using an alternate kernel you'll need to reflash it.
- This will irrevocably erase and replace the software on your eMMC! MAKE BACKUPS BEFORE FLASHING, you have been warned.
If you're upgrading from an older version of Nookie Froyo, you should not have to wipe - however if you do have problems *wipe data* and try again.
*IMPORTANT* - this zip does not require any extra steps such as formatting /boot, changing system permissions, and does not replace or remove CWM. If you are coming from a ROM that required these extra steps and are having issues, *please post your questions there* so the dev can be prompted to correct those issues properly.
If you're coming from a rom that doesn't support CWM properly see the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11437545
Installing /system will take some time, and the progress bar doesn't update in realtime; you haven't 'locked up', just be patient as it may take a few minutes.

Do not try to Format SD card from Settings -> SD & Phone storage!
- there is currently a bug that causes the system to format the /boot partition instead of /sdcard when this option is used, leaving your NC unbootable. Format your SD card in your PC or another device if you need to! - fixed in 0.6.8!
FIRST BOOT TIPS -
On first boot, Launcher and SoftKeys will fight for control of the home intent - that is, when you boot the first time, your NC will ask you to pick your home activity.
*CHOOSE LAUNCHER* at first (DO NOT select 'always use this action'), and let the system boot and stabilize (3-4 minutes).
Hit Home (the N button). You'll be asked to choose your activity again, this time choose SoftKeys.
Try using one of the SU-required buttons (back or menu), and after a few moments SuperUser will prompt you to accept the action.
SoftKeys 3.06+ now prompt for SU permission at startup, just accept the superuser prompt when it pops, you'll still want to let the system stabilize for a minute or two.
If SoftKeys fails to ask for SU permissions, "Unable to execute as root":
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> 'All'
Select SoftKeys from the list
'Force close' Softkeys if it's running, then 'Clear defaults'
Hit the N button, choose SoftKeys when prompted to choose your home action, accept the SU prompt when it pops.
Workarounds for some known bugs/issues:
(default in 0.5.8+) Improved Refresh-rate (no flicker! thanks [mbm]!): this should set the refresh rate to 68hz, the supposed default for the Nook Color's LCD panel -
Code:
adb shell echo 68000,1024/70/200/40,600/10/11/10 > /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/timings
Browser: force closes when opening a website that tries to use location services, due to the missing GPS. Try browsing to a url by typing in the google search box, and if you can get into the browser menu changing your homepage away from google will stop it from FC'ing on open.
Lockscreen wrong size: Simply reboot to correct this.
Touchscreen is slow/unresponsive:
Turn your screen off and then back on.
Disable Haptic Feedback in Settings -> Sounds.
Also, see this page for a possible calibration fix: http://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen
(fixed in 0.5.6 w/included SoftKeys 3.00) No buttons! Try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860153
(fixed in 0.5.6) SoftKeys - in 0.5.1 softkeys' buttons do not work due to a permissions issue. To fix, do:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/input
Please post issues/workarounds/bugs in this thread, I'll try to keep this list updated.
To answer from the other thread...
Timeframe-- well, this isn't me doing this. But I think the devs just want to take the edges off, so be patient... I'm just the messenger on the news that it's been done. This is other people's accomplishment.
In fact, froyo was done weeks ago, though not entirely from open-source/freely distributed components like this (as far as I know).
To answer some questions--
BT not working, FM not working, accellerometer not working. Softkeys should work... dont' see why not anyway. It's stock froyo. No gapps, no Superuser.apk, no nothing over and above AOSP. Overclocking not in but should be possible... video playback hasn't been tried (it's early still!).... battery life who knows I haven't even had a chance to let it run down... I posted because the news was "out" anyway. I also can't compare to stock because I've never run stock, believe it or not. But it's based on the same kernel 2.6.29. It boots off a SD partitioned for system, data, cache, and sdcard. Only thing (I think) it touches on the internal storage is resetting that boot counter, otherwise you'd only get 7 boots at a time. Doesn't need much space. 2GB should be enough. That's what phones have anyway. Guess it depends what you want to do with it. Performance is decent, not steller compared to my g2 at least. Will benefit from OC.

@fattire
Questions on everyone's (well, mine at least) mind... please answer as much as you can, and a big big thank you!!!
1. Is BT working?
2. Is FM working?
3. Can we still use SoftKeys for hardware key emulation?
4. Can we overclock the processor?
5. How's the video playback?
6. How's the battery life compared to stock?
7. Since you're booting from SD, does that mean the internal memory of the NC remains untouched, should we need to boot stock?
and
8. How does the device feel overall?

Nice stuff guys keep up the stellar work
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
So awesome, looking forward to the progression of this!
I got my SD to boot tonight!
It defiantly isn't for the faint of heart but it seems to work well enough as a good base to start on. Pretty snappy to boot.
I would like to emphasize that this is VERY rough around the edges and if you aren't planning on hacking with the kernel, or code, or attempting to make your own rom then this is NOT for you.

Defiantly awesome work (and pure AOSP + TI drivers) which means no propritary B&N bits
Thanks for releasing such and early build to the public. It's not often you see that.
(I won't even consider playing with this build)
As a humble Analysts I grovel at the feet of your magnificent tech prowess.
(thanks)
Does this include a working JIT or is that one of the things in progress?
That seems to be one of the more compelling things from froyo (at least for a device with more internal storage than a nexus one). I would expect (well, hope anyway) that the froyo JIT would have a noticeable impact on the speed...
Mods, can we please stickie this?
Very awesome... Will try it out later today!
Since this runs off the sdcard can you power down the NC and remove the sdcard and boot normally?

You also have the option of converting the volume buttons to back/menu as well. It is documented in this thread, but the filenames have changed in this build. You will need to modify the following files..
/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/twl4030-keypad.kl
I am not a developer.
I am not likely to become one at this stage of the game...
I am, however, either brave or stupid because I am downloading the image and will see if it will boot on my NC.
I do this because:
A) I want to SEE froyo running on my NC, and
2) If I have any problems, feedback might help the devs
I love seeing all the progress that has been made on these things.

I tested flash and it does work.. The flash plugin is not included in the build however, I had to find it and install it via ADB.
Just rebooted back to my regular rooted NC system after pulling the sdcard and can only say-
Marvelous.
Yes, it is slow, no keyboard and all of the other things that were spoken of in the initial posts, but IT WORKS.
I don't have time to do much else with it right at the moment, but I will mess with it more later.

Could you post the flash plugin you used? I would really appreciate it. Could you also comment on the quality of flash videos online. I'd like to watch espn3 on the nook...in bed...lol
OK, so I booted the rom, and followed the instructions at nookdevs...
Installing superuser.apk and pushing su seemed to work just fine!!!
Softkeys installed and got superuser permissions and works as well.
Installed astro file manager, and that works fine too...
At that point, I wanted to mount the usb storage and move over a bunch of APK files... mounted the nook and could only see the mlo, img file etc... no problem creating an apk folder and putting files in there, but then I can't see that folder when I look for it in astro....
Any info on simply copying files via USB using this build?
Also, thanks to all the devs for the awesome work... looking forward to playing around with this more!!!

What do we need?
Multiloader: MegaUpload
zImage & stuff: MegaUpload
EXT2 IMG Filesystem: Part1 Part2
FOTA: MegaUpload (Restored old one)
Ok before we start. The tutorial is now 100% Rewritten. But you still need to read carefully
Notice
Clean out your ENTIRE bada storage first cause we will need almost everything of it
Notice2: This project is still in ALPHA Stage. So don't expect a fully awesome working version yet.
In this version all KNOWN fixes are implented except for root
1. Download all the needed files, when you've done so extract the ZIP with the zImage stuff in it and place it in you bada storage root. (you can extract the .001 with 7-zip)
(i made the Images URLS's because they're to big)
1b. Connect your phone and put it in Mass Storage mode
You should copy your files like the Images below
Bada Storage root:
http://ShadowAS1.com/badadroid/storageroot1.png
This should be inside your storage root:
http://ShadowAS1.com/badadroid/storageroot2.png
This should be inside your galaxyboot folder:
http://ShadowAS1.com/badadroid/storageroot3.png
So inside the sorage root should be your galaxyboot folder and the makext2img.sh
inside the galaxyboot folder should be zImage, SBL.bin and the .IMG file
2.Then you should shut down your phone and boot it in download mode:
Vol Down+Camera+Power and you will see DOWNLOAD MODE on the screen
3.Open up multiloader and take over my config here:
http://shadowas1.com/badadroid/multiloader.png
When you click port search the name "LISMORE" should/can popup next to the right COM port
Now click download and wait for it to finish
Okay, now your phone is ready for the first android run
Boot it by holding power+menu+vol up: (see image)
http://shadowas1.com/badadroid/IMG_0052.JPG
Then this should popup (after the SGS screen)
DO NEVER, ABSOLUTELY NEVER PULL OUT BATTERY OR TOUCH THE PHONE IN THIS PROCESS
http://shadowas1.com/badadroid/IMG_0050.JPG
This can take up to 5 minutes.
Now, Two things can happen
1. The phone boots bada
2. The phone shuts down
In any of this cases your phone is absolutely fine. If you have case 2 you can boot bada to check if everythings alright if you wish.
Assuming we all boot bada shut down the phone again
Boot android in the normal way by holding the Power and Call key
=====Removing Android from your bada partitions======
On request i add this one, In order to remove all android stuff put the "mkext2images-remove.sh" in your bada storage root and boot recovery mode again
Goodluck, ShadowAS1
Good Luck,
ShadowAS1

Hi!
I have followed all the steps.
Now I'm in the First-time Run section and when I start Android (end call and then start call buttons) the screen flashes, then the Galaxy S screen appears. After 6-7 seconds, blank screen and... Samsung Wave and Bada screens with bada startup!
I saw other member in other post having the same issue, but he had still no answer.
Any idea?
Yeap, still same problem as mcmollo after following this guide as well ...
Works for me

Yes. I repeated the tutorial 3 times, taking care of doing it exactly as you say. But Bada still loading after Galaxy screen.
Maybe compatibility problem with the SD card?.
Mine is KINGSTON MICRO SD HC 8GB CLASS 4
I created a FAT16 primary partition (4GB) and then the EXT2 partition (4GB).
Will we install waveII (s8530) ?
SORRY SORRY I forgot something important. Read the tuto again. you'll notice the edit (because there's abig fat "EDIT" in front of it) This may fix the problems
can i use ubuntu 10.04?

Now 2D/3D score about 200/400 points.
28 november
EGL v.2
Improved EGL and whole system stability.
27 november
Fix OpenGL(EGL). Very ugly patch but working. Angry Birds working fine
In EGL edition 2D performance drop to 2-3 times and sometime Android subsystem reboots.
Explained how to hack for EGL - updated as much as
1. You need rights *.so adreno200. Not all *.so worked with ICS. You can try from my build.
2. You should patch these files:
DisplayHardware.cpp - selectConfigForPixelFormat
SurfaceFlinger.cpp - SurfaceFlinger::createNormalSurface or define NO_RGBX_8888
eglApi.cpp - eglSwapBuffers
glext.h - remap GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES
gl2ext.h - remap GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES
state.cpp - fix case GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES
BootAnimation.cpp - BootAnimation::android()
for details see patchset - first aid hacks. Needs additional investigations and developments.

Glad to see your rom
Thank you very much, I`m very glad to see your ROM in separate thread... It's great that you joined developers in porting ICS on HD2
Nice. Works great.
One request though. Please leave out Google maps from the package, for the benefit of those who want to install the modded version.

Hi, washpota.
You can freely replace any files followed by readme.txt in Portadroid.
And you can very easy modify content /system/app via RootExplorer.
Just tried it, it's slower than any current 2.3.7 rom for example, but it's usable. Wifi works, went through all the setting panel, nothing was missing. Added my google account, tried the Market etc, everything I tried worked!
Very pleased with it so far, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the tip. I removed the apk, and had to replace data.img with a new one. Bit time consuming, but works.
I used to port myself, but now shifted to your ported rom for love of wifi and market

[ROM] CM7 8GB &16GB Compatible Beta for the Nook Tablet.., Updated 7th July to Beta
***** DISCLAIMER ******
Please note this software is still classed as experimental and you use this at your own risk. We have done some in house testing and all has worked fine but we cannot guarantee the exact same results for everyone. We accept no responsibility for any damage or loss of information with your Nook Tablet. You use this software at your own risk.

FOR PROGRESS AND UPDATES CONTINUE TO READ THIS THREAD. FOR KNOWN BUGS AND ISSUES PLEASE SEE THIS THREAD
Below you will find Internal release of our Nook tablet CM7. This has been rebuilt from the most recent CM7 stable source. I'll update the 2nd posts with release information asap.
Please feel free to base your rom on ours, I believe it is now tested well enough and is sufficiently stable to use.
The Source for the CM7 android device folder, the kernel and meghd00ts Improved recovery can be found here Here
For information on what you can and can't do and reasons for this please visit HERE
INTERNAL VERSION 8GB & 16GB COMPATIBLE
Download HERE MD5 95043b08484aa218ccf93b5ef4785825
For the internal version you need have access to CWM either internally installed as your recovery or from an SD card. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel telling people how to do that. Just have a look through the development thread and you'll se numerous threads showing you how to do this.
This version has the ability to reboot to recovery added to the reboot option in the power menu. It does not however come with a recovery image, this was already released by lavero.burgos and can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958
PLEASE BACK EVERYTHING UP BEFORE YOUR BEGIN!!!!
Once you have CWM on screen with the downloaded update zip archive on your sd card, Follow these simple steps
1. Goto install zip from sdcard
2. Choose zip from sdcard ( if CWM hasn't recognized your SD card you need to eject it and re insert it once or twice, sometimes you need to go to mounts and unmount SD, pop it out and back in then select mount sd)
3. choose the CM7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip
4. scroll down and select Yes - Install CM7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip
5. sit back for a couple of minutes while the installation is carried out
That’s CM7 installed, next you need to prepare the rest of the device
1. press your power button once
2. ***OPTIONAL*** scroll down and select wipe data / factory reset, this is optional but if you are coming from a different OS it is recommended, if you don't it can sometimes causes force closes and various other issues.
3. you're ready to roll! scroll up and select reboot system, initial boot can take a while and does pause for a short while on the black screen between flash page and CM7 Animation, enjoy CM7 For Nook Tablet!
if you were already running a version of CM7 it is possible you may be able to skip the wipe data bit and just select wipe cache instead but it's best if you can wipe data and know that you have a clean install without any bugs remaining from a previous install. By all means try just clear cache and see how you go, if you seems to have lots of bugs we recommend doing a clear data and trying again.
SD VERSION IMAGE ***UPDATE NOT YET AVAILABLE this is the Alpha final version***
Download HERE
I've done the SD version a little different this time, it's as a 4gb SD image (the last partition is used as SDcard in CM7 so you can resize this partition to fill up your whole card if your card is bigger than 4gb). The image can be burn using windows Image writer or dd command in linux / OSX
The window software is available HERE.
To write the image on linux / osx do the following
WITHOUT your sd in the machine go to a terminal window and type
Code:
mount
Notice the drives that are showing they will be something like dev/sda. Now insert your SD and give it a moment to recognise it. Once again terminal type
Code:
mount
and you should have an extra device such as /dev/sdc showing which is your sdcard (it may say dev/sdc1 or something but you aren't interested in the number)
Once you have the SD device id use following code exchanging sdc for your device id
Code:
dd if=/location/of/SDfile.img of=/dev/sdc
Then sit back and wait, it will appear to be doing nothing and will take a long time but once done the command will complete and you have a nice new SD version of CM7 to run
Power off the nook, insert the sd and then power it on to enjoy your new CM7. If it done'st boot try completely powering of and ten connect power cable and wait for it to turn on and hopefully boot form SD. The first boot WILL take a few minutes. Consecutive boots will be faster
We've been asked a number of times for a donation link so I set one up you can click HERE. Or if you prefer to donate directly to myself or Goncezila by clicking on the donate buttons under our names. We thank you in advance for your generosity

First boot can take a little while. once in you will be requested to enter your Google account details, because your wifi is not yet connected you will be better of skipping these steps, you will be asked again as soon as you try to open Google Market anyway.
Tap the menu button and select settings (not adwsettings) go to wifi and setup your wifi connection, if for some reason wifi networks do not show, just toggle wifi off and on and it will sort it's self out

Goncezilla and I haven't really discussed a length of time for testing but generally Testing will continue until we believe that the remaining bugs do not cause severe problems for the end user. Once we are at that stage the donators will then get their copies which will allow us to gradually increase the testing coverage before finally being released as a beta to all member of XDA.
Myself and Goncezilla would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and understanding while we build you a version of CM7 for your Nook Tablets that we can be proud of
Feb 10th 2012

SD format and bricking issue,
Market app install problem
Various software crashing when it tried to play video (even browser in mobile youtube)
Internal Media partition not mounting
Media partition not connecting to USB host when plugged in

Difference
Sorry for this question. What are the differences between internal and external? Does internal completely wipe and remove all Nook software, and external only boots CM7 with the card in and boots Nook style without?
For those on Windows machines (like me!), the free Mini Partition Wizard Home Edition can be used to create the SD card partitions. In this case just make the first partition Primary and Active; that will allow it to be seen as a bootable partition.

For Internal you need to have CWM running (either from SDcard or internally) and it WILL wipe your stock setup.
External runs purely from the SDCard and will not mess with your internal data.
Remember that Celtic and I are the only ones who have tested this as of yet so there may be unfound bugs! This is Beta after all
Please report all bugs here, do not PM us. We will try to validate and then correct them.
Enjoy everyone!

Yes sure just shrink the partitions a little to fit
We'll be adding a small modification to allow SDCard simulation when booting form card which will require adding a 4th partition later to act as the SDCard
Just thought to release as was to get it to everyone
I take it there is a way to go back to stock 1.4.0 just in case?
Unit is rebooting into cm7 as we speak. Looking great, speed is awesome. Great job guys.

Yes you can flash a stock image the same way
did internal version. Downloaded to PC, unpacked, copied directly to directory via usb mount, restored. The restore went fast, and the initial boot-up was faster than my G2's backup restores...lol Connected to wifi, signed in, and up and running.. Fantastic!!! kudos!! and i used the "Thank You" button so i'm not thanking you in this reply...<snicker> Over all, everything done in less than 5 minutes. Now to tweak/customize/play with.
For those of us who don't know/have ubuntu, can you point to a good resource/post for creating the SD card under Windows 7 to run the SD card version of CM7?
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Clockworkmod makes it as standard, as long as you have clockworkmod installed you should be able to just create the folders and drop your files in, do a backup from CWM and the folder should appear anyway
Thanks man. downloading sd release now. this doesn't affect the stock NT rom, right? the SD release ofc.
Celtic,
You may want to mention that the user may need to eject/reinsert the SD card for CWM recovery to recognize it.
Thanks for the good work!

After it's first boot it's a lot quicker than stock
In fact I think even the SD version is faster than stock, stock really is poor!
Just an FYI to everyone. We mounted the internal B&N partition (the 11 GB that used to locked out) to /data/media and the 1GB you used to have access to to /mnt/media.
Both fully rw!
Holy **** people!! 200 downloads already and only 20 of clicks of thanks on the first thread :s
I think my server bandwidth is going to get a hammering, I best check it's ok!
Sorry for the basic question, but when we go to CWM -> Advanced restore -> NTCM7, do we want to restore boot? system? data? cache? sd-ext? all?
Thanks!
