[HOW-TO] Download/Install Honeycomb to Nook Color (SD card)

[adamcapps08]

I did this and now my SD card is only 113 Meg where it used to be 4 gig. What the hell happened?

Hey, my daughter is in China, and before I left I did built a microSD card for her using CM7.

Her problem is her quick launch bar lost its App Launcher icon. She only gets a second star instead of Launcher / Star / Globe.

She now has no way to access her programs except via search.

Can she fix this easily or do we need to recover somehow?

Thanks

You need to mount the SD card on a Linux box and run "parted" to resize the /sdcard partition. If you're not familiar with Linux, download a partition manager for Windows and resize it. It's a FAT32 partition so Windows should be able to deal with this. The reason you're seeing this because the original Honeycomb image was pulled off of a 4G SD card and the partition are organized such that /sdcard is only 1.5G.

I think this was asked but I cannot find entry, did this process and first Will Shanklin thank you so much for the write up, it went pretty smoothly and your process was easy to understand, this will be a noob questions but I did this on a 16gb sd card when I wrote the image to the SD it made 4 partitions, 1 at 118mb,1 at about 4gb, 1 at x mb (sorry can remember the space) and then the last was left a un-partitions space at about 11gb and change, how do it get the 11 gb to a usable state and if I need to increase a partitions ( which I thought you could not do) which one do I increase, sorry for the long explanation and for the 2 part questions, once again thanks to Will Shanklin and everyone who contributed great job on this

Just a question,
I have put the software on a micro SD card and booted up the nook with it. It sort of worked, I get a screen with the time and date, but that's it. I have the open padlock, which when you press it you get the rings, but nothing is happening.
What do I have to expect or do????

HELP Please,
I got the market installed, can use wifi to browse the web, but when I try to authenticate my market or gmail account it wants to use a data plan, it will not go through WIFI, therefore it fails every time, has anyone else experienced this?

Any ideas will be helpful!

Thanks

On a open portion of the nook screen touch it till it displays the Add To Home Screen options box and select Launcher Options, Move to Desktop and then touch and drag the launcher icon onto the star to replace the missing launcher. I don't know what causes the launcher to disappear but this will restore it.

You can do this on windows by running the MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Partition Magic alternative. Free Partition Manager Software for Windows 7/VISTA/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2000.

I'm having problems getting WINIMAGE to copy the Nook Honeycomb image to the SD card. Everytime I try doing it, it errors out with a blank error pop-up. I've used the EAUS utility to reallocate the SD card to full size, but can't seem to get the WINIMAGE write to work.
