So I finally got around to upgrading from Autonooter to a full CM7 rom on th Nook Color. The wife (who owns it) was tired of switching between the BN gui and the sort-of android soft keys & market. So, I loaded cm_encore_full-41.zip on via clockwork and then loaded gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip on for Market access, and away I went.
Works Beautifully. Huge props to the cyanogenmod folks for this. Now I’m tempted to pick up a 2nd one for my own fun..
For the record, these are the steps to do everything, cuz I can’t ever remember anything:
1. Burn the clockwork image. I’m using the 8GB card version since thats what I have. Use a different one depending on what you have. Don’t dd your hard drive like a fool:
sudo dd if=8gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
this took ages so I recommend a smaller size.
2. Simply copy the CM7 zip & the google apps .zip to the card.
3. Power off the Nook Color fully, stuff your freshly made micro SD in, and boot up. You’r now in Clockwork Recovery mode. Volume buttons navigate, N button is Select, and Power is “back”
4. Go to “Mounts and Storage” and format the following 3 partitions. DO NOT FORMAT /Boot!
/system
/data
/cache
5. Install the CM7 image using the “from the sd card” option, then do the same with the GoogleApps package
6.Take out the Clockwork sd card, and Select Reboot System Now.
&. you’re now booted into your newly imaged tablet. I recommend bypassing Add Acct, get your Nook on Wifi, tehn go back, add your gmail acct, then start loading your favorites from the Market, starting with Flash 10.2
yay.
I obviously didn’t come up with this myself. Tutorials are all over the net. I simply combined & reworded everything I used from various sites to come up with these reminders that my own brain can follow.
