He posted an alternate image of the Honeycomb port that's zipped up with 7zip.

Am i the only one with these problems?

This is a 7zip version of the nookhoney.img. I don't have winrar so I used this image file with 7zip to extract it. It works fine. Just use winimage to burn it.

 

[Chad_Taylor]

Alright, seem to be stuck on the A N D R O I D _ boot screen...then it just starts over again. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Chad

This shouldn't be this hard.

How easy did you expect it to be?

This is exactly what I get. I've re-burned the image after re-downloading.

Burning with Win 7 and WinImage (administrator)

After the image is on the card, removed the card and put it into my Nook (when it was off) and then booted on.

Just sits at A N D R O I D _ in the top left corner when holding the nook upright.


This seems like I'm missing a step but I'm not. I'm running Nook stock 1.0.1

Please help.

Honeycomb went without a hitch. I see all my apps in market, but I get download failure messages when I try to reinstall them. Wifi connected just fine as a matter of fact better then when running Nookie internal. I assume the download failures may be related to the SD card format?? But what a beautiful UI. Something to look forward to.

Thanks for letting me know your wifi works i will try re imaging it maybe that will help

Ok how does one install the market place from a mac os preferably? It's extremely confusing and I am unfamiliar with command windows.

Thanks

Ditto for me. No problems loading and getting the market loaded (even if it won't download).

The Honeycomb UI is beautiful. WiFi works great. Really looking forward to the future releases as things get worked out.

Awesome job, developers!!

I followed the steps outlined on a Mac and it was dead easy and all the installation steps worked without a hitch. I've had problems getting ADB to work on my W7 without the right drivers etc but not with OSX.

I tried installing some of my dev APK files which work on Nookie Froyo but got some deployment errors and didn't work, which I guess is not unexpected.

This is awesome, would do it now but I need sound. Will wait for later release, keep up the good work devs, I love being on the cutting edge!

 

[eyew]

I think ability to download apps would be more useful than sound but I wonder if existing apps are supposed to work with Honeycomb as is or if they have to be ported somehow.

I booted up in honeycomb in less than 1 min on first boot. Using a 8gb class 6 card
