Okay, others mention being able to stream videos in YouTube. Over on the xda forums, folks mention some holy grail YouTube.apk from an EVO ROM, which I've yet to find. I've installed many variants, to no avail. What am I missing?
[HOW-TO] Download/Install Honeycomb to Nook Color (SD card)
- Thread starter Will Shanklin
- Start date
OP updated - new version 04 has been released (fixes many app crashes and improves touchscreen sensitivity around edges of the screen). Also have new files uploaded for internal installation (in that thread). 
Hey, I don't know if anyone can help me, but does anybody know how to set up the ADB so that the Nook can communicate through the ADB command prompt?
Has there been any development on the "enter password to decrypt storage" problem people are having?
I had that error last night. Thankfully after shutting down and not picking it up until this morning, the "password" error did not show up. Odd, but nice none the less.
I've gotten it several times, but it always went away after a power-down. This is still an early build, just reboot and know that this will all be worked out soon.
The 115MB partition you are seeing after you put the image on the SD card is the boot partition. Once you put it in the NC, you will see that you have 4 partions, 115MB, ~700MB, ~700MB, ~2-3GB (I don't remember the exact amount right now). If you pull them up using EASEUS, you will see that they are formatted FAT32, ext2, ext3, FAT32, respectively. Also, you can use EASEUS to increase the size of the last FAT32 partition to fill the rest of the SD card. You can adjust this using a USB micro SD card reader (I've had better luck/speed with these than using a full sized SD card adapter).
Once Honeycomb boots on your NC, you will see that the FAT32 partition is now your /sdcard partition and you can copy whatever music, etc. you want to the appropriate folders on that partition via your USB cable.
Because of the nature/requirements of the Honeycomb boot sdcard image, you can't see all of the partitions, just like you can't see the Nook Color's internal flash memory, even when connected via a USB cable.
Hope this helps with your issue.

Hello. I had a chance to install a play with Honeycomb on my new Nook Color (actually a present for my wife), however many times it happened that it does not actually boot up: it freezes just after printing the small "ANDROID_" at the edge and nothing else happens even after tens of minutes. Now, I could not manage to resume it any more.
Could it be a problem related to the fact that I am using a Class 4 (although quite fast) micro-SD card?
Thanks a lot and many congratulations for this incredible piece of work!

Facepalm? What the? Read vs write?
Uh, I'm getting the same password issue too, and don't understand what the F was just said here. "Turn on write on the SD card reader?" Uh, guys, the Nook doesn't HAVE an SD-card reader. It's a micro-SD card unless you're using a much different setup than me. What read-write switch? Did I miss something here? Ha.

I'm having the same issue with both of my microSD cards. There has to be something amiss here as version 3 works just fine. Version 4 also takes almost 10 times as long to dd the image to the card.
I hace another stupid question. Is installing the market done on PC and put on card or done on nook?
"The usual program for this, Win32DiskImager, isn't working with this large file. So download WinImage, and under 'Disk' choose "Restore Virtual Image to Physical Drive." Change the files shown at the bottom to "all files" and select the file."
This part just doesn't work for me. WinImage has all kinds of options and when I follow the instructions above to choose "Restore Virtual Image..." from the DISK menu option, I never see the SD card as an out option. Are there any other options that need to be set? HELP!!!

You have to run it as an admin...right click then Run as Administrator otherwise the drive wont show up.
"enter password to decrypt storage" problem
Geez Will... you're the goto guy here - I was hoping you would come up with THE answer...
My error messages went away with Honeycomb v1 after a power down and rest. With Honeycomb v2, it came and went a number of times, until it finally would not go away. I am using a Patriot 16GB class 10 card and it seems to be extremely fast and works fine in all other matters.
The question I have (other than how to get past the damn thing) is where this error is coming from: The card or the Honeycomb build - it isn't the Nook, it comes up after the boot/splash screen. The other weird thing was that while I was stuck on the screen trying different things to spoof it, I actually got another keyboard to pop up - in an overlay format, actually sitting on top of the screen - with Chinese (?) characters on the lower right and left sides of the bottom row...
Still running FroYo on the SD card and ordered an 8GB class 10 card to see if that works better (and I'll spread the latest version of Honey on it!).

That is just what I needed. Installing HC went without a hitch, but I could not get the computer to recognize the nook. The post above was VERY helpful.
I have an 8GB card and I think the partiton copied from the IMG file is locked to 4GB. Is there a way to expand the partition to fill the whole card?

Trust me - every "go-to guy" you come across, be it President, cop, or Android Central "Nook Color Adviser" is just as human as you are. Be your own authority figure - don't buy into the mythology of someone else having all the answers. I don't know what the hell that screen is. If it's that bad, switch to a different ROM.
LOL - don't I know it... and believe me, I always use my own judgment and any resulting problems are my fault alone! And I do thank you for all the work you have put in on this forum and respect your advice and expertise. Keep up the great work!
Now, just as soon as my new card gets here, I?ll try the latest and greatest version of Honeycomb?
lol and sorry for the snippy response. I feel like I'm 17 all over again
If your SD is having problems, it's really running phenomenally off emmc now. If you're familiar/comfortable with restore process (should it f up) it's pretty safe and easy . . . and oh-so fast!
