can someone give me a link that will show me how to install the android market, i downloaded the android sdk but i really dont understand the whole process,
try
http://www.androidcentral.com/sdk-driver-root-oh-my
or
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...-official-beginners-introduction-sdk-adk.html
I personally like the second link better, its going to show you how to used the sdk and adb.

You run adb in a command-line terminal on the computer (hooked to the NC via USB). It works, even if not rooted.
Does anyone have v4 working on a Kingmax 16GB Class 10? I'm getting asked for a password on lockscreen.
I have the same card and experience the same problem, still no solution for this unfortunately
My next one maybe a Sandisk 16GB Class 10. My Sandisk 8Gb class 6 works good just a little slow.
Edit: Been looking. I not sure they make a class 10 Sandisk 16GB MicroSD

My problem is that somehow when booted on HC, the Nook doesn't connect via USB. If I rebook on stock(rooted), then it connects, so the adb doesn't see it when on HC.
sorry for noob question, but
how is everyone liking the HoneyComb So far? does everything work, like marketplace and apps?
cause i feel like will the Nook Color ever become a fully working Android tablet cause sometimes i hear some apps or some technical stuff aren't working. makes me want to reconsider selling it and just get a real android tablet instead

This Honeycomb is a preview and NOT necessarily meant to be ready for prime time. We are all experimenting with it. I have gotten to the point with this SD version to now try the root and internal flash, maybe even the overclock version as well. That is how good it is for me. I even use my Dinc as a hotspot when away from home or work, and is faster than this companies wireless I have used.
What holds me up is communication with adb and my computer. As a stock nook I communicate as suppose to. When booted with the SD Honeycomb v4 I experience a hit and miss if not at all. It is a driver thingy I think on my end, with my computer but still makes me hesitate the internal flash setup. I wish to go to that because of the lag in the operation of the unit cuz of the speed of the SD card as it is. I wish the password thing with the class 10 16GB cards were not an issue at boot up. Because I would at least know that , that would be the best I could achieve on my end physically/hardware as can be to increase speed, outside of programming of the os that is.
If you read the other sites there are on this subject. This Deeper Blue's HC is an accumulation of bits and pieces of items to make a preview. I wonder just how much there really is of Google HC 3.0 is really in it except for the visual shell we see.
Also I want to make a point of is that I cannot see any google services working as in maps and such. Others have spoke about this as well. Maybe its there? and I have to download other apps to visualize it or make it operational. And some apps do not even show up in the market place. Some I have purchased and other that are free. Probably cuz they are a phone type app and not meant for a tablet. Or this is too new of a os that market doesn't know what to do to make those apps list. Any comments on this would be great.

Make sure you are using the Nook provided USB cable - I spent over 3 hours trying to get this to work on a spare cable I had in my office and then I tried the Nook Cable and it connected to ADB with no problems.
so if if i want a FULL stable android should i go for the FROYO?
I thought i saw somewhere in the XDA forums that they have a fix for hte password issue on Class 10 SD cards.
also what do you guys prefer or more beneficial in terms of better overall experience, should I install Internally or SD card?

I am using the Nook USB connector. I wonder if I just need to adb USB driver for honeycomb?? Not sure what else to try. This is why I wont place HC on internal memory because if I can't root it and load the market, it's no good.
The fix is not confirmed to have worked for anyone but poster (I have tried the fix myself and it didn't work for me)
When you go into Device Manager what do you see? You should see at the top - Android Phone and then a sub item called Android ADB Interface. Then under Disk Drives, you should see B&N Ebook Disk USB Device twice. Even when I saw these using the non Nook cable it would not work. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Have you tried any other computers? Check the date of the ADB.EXE and make sure it has has a date of 02-07-11 401K. I dont think it matters but I had 4 different versions on this one seems to work the best.
I think you might have a couple things mixed up...
Honeycomb has not been released on ANY phone/tablet other than as a developer preview. For that master, Gingerbread still hasn't been officially released, so having even an "alpha" version that works as well as this one does, of Honeycomb, is amazing!
Given that, there are some hardware issues that will keep the NC from doing some things that most android phone and tablet users take for granted, such as navigation because the NC doesn't have GPS hardware.
However, other than that, the NC outshines just about any other tablet for up to (and over?) twice the price. There are a TON of Nook Color vs (enter name of tablet here) videos on Youtube that are well worth watching (esp the one by mobiletechreview).
Rumor has it that Froyo will be officially available on the NC in mid-April. Once rooted it should be even faster and as capable as any of the <$500 available.
Speaking of root, if you "autonooter" your stock NC, you will find that you can get the best of both the stock NC (1.0.1, not 1.1.0 as there are still a couple issues to be worked out... another week or so, if I had to guess) and regular Android worlds without having to spend nearly as much while getting a comparable experience. Check our the sticky rooting thread for more info. Also see XDA and NookDevs portal for additional info.
Besides, trying Honeycomb on SD on the NC is about painless and WILL NOT affect your stock/rooted install, so going back is as simple as removing the Honeycomb SD card and putting your old one back in.
(Note: be sure to not use your normal Nook Color SD card, UNLESS you are willing to erase everything on it.)
Hope this helps. IMO, the NC is a SCREAMING deal in an Android tablet!

Scott,
Thanks for the extensive reply!
