I have gotten my son a Nook Color for Christmas this year and he loves it. The problem is things on the freakin B&N site are really expensive and are not all the things we can do on the normal Android operating systems that I have. I rock a Droid Bionic (Stock) and a Xoom 4G (also stock!) but the nook needs some help. On my android devices I have a load of apps and things like that as well as the Amazon.com Appstore that gives a free app every day. I have been collecting the apps since day one, so there is no shortage of apps for my son to have, play with, do what ever with.
Okay, so, here's what I can do. I have the abilities to easily install ClockWork on my SD card, using a class 2 16 gig, or a class 4 4 gig. Both work for me equally well, but the 4 gig rolls faster so I have primarily been using that one. I have so far been able to install the HoneyComb v4 that is able to boot and run well enough, just a few things missing and a few things not working. I want to compare that to the CM7. I have both booted the HoneyComb on the SD card at first, but the speed would drive me insane, so I don't want to make him suffer with it either. So I then booted the HC v4 on the internal memory. That worked faster, but still had a few things that I didn't like how it was operating. I didn't have it in long enough to make sure it was rooted. I don't believe it was. I want to root it maybe if CM7 doesn't seem to work.
Now, on the CM7 stuff. I have put every version of CM7 that I can get my hands on on this thing. I put 7.1, 7.0.3, 7.0.2, 7.0.1, I have put nightlies from 249-253 I think, and they all come up with the same outcome. Which I will get to in a moment.
This is my method.
Make the boot disk out of the MicroSD card using WinImage and that works precisely as advertised.
Then, I format system, format data and format cache. Then I install from SD card, and I choose, and I do the random flavor of CM7 that I am trying this time, then I go gapps and then I take out the card and I do a system reboot. When I do the reboot, it powers on just fine and I stick in the screen shot I have attached. I have left it for an hour at a time, half hour on some builds, the current one as I sit here typing has been sitting at this screen for about 43 minutes. Last night I put 7.0.2 on and let it sit over night. I don't think I would require any more allowing it to load.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking like I will end up at the older version of HoneyComb with the few errors and apps not installing the way I want them to if I can't get this to work.
Thanks
