CM7 for NC is *very* close!

fattire, one of the main devs working to bring CM7 to the Nook Color, is being cheeky in this post at XDA. The thread that post is in also has links to twitter activity confirming the good news.

Any day now we should see nightlies...

As soon as I download the first thing I'm doing is sending 100 bucks. That's still 250 less than a wifi zoom

I don't think it's that close. They're still working through the "sleep death" issues.

Btw fat tire beer is the greatest! !!!!

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon, there's already a build out.

Anyone interested can get it here: [RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (and goodies!) - xda-developers

Or a direct link to the CM7 rom: http://tsunade.net/nookdev/cyanogenmod/

Pardon my complete ignorance, but what does this all mean?

Do what?!? SWEET!!!!! There would be a solar storm hitting the earth at the same time I try and Download. Can't do anything till tonight.

So, is this based on Froyo, Gingerbread, or Honeycomb?

CM7 is based on Gingerbread, so probably Gingerbread.

So is this only for installing on the internal storage of your NC? It seems that way because of this statement: "It is ONLY compatible with EXT4 partitioning of the internal storage."

Edit: nvm, it is for internal storage only. When I get a NC, this will probably be the ROM I'll use on it. Can't wait

It's Gingerbread. DA's links above to XDA have lots of discussion on early impressions and a build you can flash to the NC's eMMC. Exciting times for the Nook Color!

Step-by-step instructions on how to install. Very useful for people like me

Is there going to be a build you can run off an SD card? I use rooted 2.1 to fall back on for stability so I will probably wait until 2.3 is more stable before messing with the internal memory.
