Hey everyone,
I'm still relatively new to developing, and this is just my first start getting my feet wet (My very first ROM). Anyway... here it is:

Welcome to Nookie Comb!

This ROM is based off of Nookie Froyo 0.6.8, thanks to Cicada and the Nook devs for all of their awesome work.
To be clear, I may or may not be entirely speedy on updates, but I will do as I can as time goes on.
I highly recommend using a Clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 SD card to flash this zip, as that's what I've been using and haven't tested any others.
As for the ROM, I think phiredrop says it best:

I am not responsible for any damages you may encounter (though you probably won’t). This is a Clockwork flashable zip only. It WILL erase your internal memory. Please make the necessary backups.

Features
  • Includes latest force status bar hack for Honeycomb like experience!!! (Force with Status Bar Toggle)(Thanks brianf21!!)
  • Choose between OC kernel or stock
  • Based on Nookie Froyo 0.6.8
  • Implements brianf21 and samuelhalff's bottom status bar implementation.
  • Altered the status bar and notification items to Honeycomb style positions
  • Customized LauncherPro v0.8.3 (based on s23's original version here)
  • Honeycomb Lockscreen Clock Font
  • Accurate Honeycomb Battery mod
  • Theming based on wretchedlocket and valle mod's themes
  • Honeybee boot animation
Apps
  • Gapps included
  • Notion Ink Keyboard (AWESOME!)
  • Honeycomb Clock Free
  • Honeycomb Music 3.0 apk
  • Notion Ink Canvas, E-mail, and Quickoffice included from here
  • NookColor UMS
  • Nookie-Froyo Utils to force/unforce statusbar at boot
  • Status Bar Toggle to force/unforce on the fly
  • QuickDesk Application to adjust the statusbar while within any application

Probably more stuff but that's all I recall


Installation

NOTE: Flash with the latest ClockworkMod Recovery/via ClockworkMod Recovery SD or standard Clockwork Recovery 3.0.1.0. This version is fully compatible with any Clockwork used for Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (see the Nookie Froyo page here)
  • Copy "NookieCombvXXX.zip" to the root of your SD
  • Place SD in nook and power on
  • Format SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE (You do not need to wipe if coming from a previous version!)
  • Flash Nookie Comb
  • Once finished flashing, unmount your sdcard, remove from the slot and reboot.
  • Give your nook a few minutes to stabilize on first boot. Choose LauncherPro initially as your first action. You will have to adjust your softkeys settings to remove the little floating guy in the case you launch Softkeys, as well as want to set up how your button activate each launcher.
  • Once stable, I recommend a reboot. Helps prevent any issues.
  • You should be able to sign in to market right off the bat.
  • I highly recommend using my launcherpro_backup setting in the link below. This hides a few unusable apps, as well as sets up your home screen rows/columns and colors. To install, just unzip the launchepro_backup.zip to the root of your sdcard. Hit the menu button, select "Preferences" in LauncherPro, then "Restore Backup"
  • That's it!

Troubleshooting and Notes [Updated 4/13/11]
  • Flash: Most likely you installed over a previous Nookie Froyo or other ROM and decided not to do a full wipe, which is ok, except that your flash data and dalvik-cache exist from your old Flash install. Just uninstall flash, and reinstall from market
  • SD Card and Gallery: If you're having these issues,just visit settings, unmount SD, and mount again. Don't assume you can simply unplug and plug it back in. Even though it may look already mounted, doing it this way should fix those issues
  • Won't wake from sleep: This seems to have been associated with hot plugging the SD card before putting the Nook to sleep. Might only be associated with the OC kernel (thanks to arrjaytea)
  • You can optionally force your statusbar to be always on using Status Bar Toggle. This app is brought to you by brianf21!
  • It's recommended to set QuickDesk as your Launcher, then select LauncherPro within it. This way, double-tapping the hard home key will bring up the quick desk application while in any other application. You can put the Status Bar Toggle app here to toggle at any time
  • You can select the NI keyboard by holding your finger over a text box, selecting Input Method -> NI Keyboard
  • You can switch the symbols and caps by just double tapping the shift or fn keys. Symbol key is better than fn
  • Normal Android keyboard is still included in case you don't want the NI keyboard.

Additional
-Compatible with Froyo based kernels.
-Highly recommend downloading Desktop Visualizer from the market and using the HoneyComb Icons pack below to create Honeycomb-like widgets!!

Still in works
Got everything mostly fixed... hmmmm...

aight, fix ur link and if mods will give you post 2 thats cool

Alright, the link is fixed, hit the wrong thing twice

can we have an sd card version?

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to go about converting it into an sd card, and might not be able to maintain both as often. If someone with the knowledge can send me a pm with the info, I'll look into it as a possibility when I have a little more time.

Damn, dude! Good job. With as much custom work as you've done, no wonder you've ran into problems integrating my work.

Looks awesome so far

Thanks! You helped me get up to speed on the framework repacking and stuff, so thank you! Sorry for all the q's on the latest release, I really wanted to incorporate it.

does the market work for world wide with tablet options ?
This is not Honeycomb, but a Honeycomb themed Froyo build with some enhancements for a tablet like experience

How do I install Honeycomb icons & fonts? I have unzipped them in the root of my sdcard already.
The fonts are all there, your clock should have the Honeycomb clock look on the lockscreen. To utilize the icon pack, download Desktop Visualizer from Market and select the images to correspond to applications installed. I was going to incorporate this by default, but wanted to keep it clean.

Hi mikegonz,

As I said before great job with this. I just installed this to my SDcard and really liking it. Would you mind if I prepped a flashable zip to SDcard via the method on my thread and post it there to share with everyone?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=998861

Edit: I could also prep a NookieCombv0330_SD.img file as well if you would like to post it to your OP.

Only revision I made was:
-Edit ramdisk to boot of SD
-Launcherpro_backup already restored
-Edit vold.fstab to use 4th partition of SDcard


Thanks,
Racks

No not at all, by all means! That'll give people an option to flash to SD card. I'll post a link to your post/link here once you have it.

The SDcard should work right on boot up. Make sure the sdcard is inserted correctly, then go to Settings->Sd card and phone storage. If mounted, unmount the Sd card, then Mount again. This should fix any issue with being unable to read.

Was playing with this a little bit last night. Pretty snappy overall. One thing though, the NI keyboard you mentioned showed up in the language and keyboard setting, but I couldn't seem to enable it and it wasn't enabled by default.

    this is the best rom! but how can i get my internal memory back?

    As with the standard nookie froyo, the space is there, it just sits in a /media intenal mem. Going to work on getting this to mount on boot so you can use for storage.

    Anyone know if there is a way to modify the "long press home" button behavior in this rom. It is really the only thing I am missing from CM7.
    Not sure what you mean. What are you looking to have the long press do? Differences between soft and hard keys can be adjusted with softkeys. In addition, you can add swipe gestures to the app drawer or launcherPro's blank icons.

    "Always on" status bar? Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but my status bar still goes away any time I open a fullscreen application.

    What exactly does this 'hack' do?

    Please read the OP before, I bolded the clarification. Cross reference brianf21's Statusbar hack forum thread if you have any other questions related to issues.
    You need to Launch NookColorUtils and select Force statusbar to enable the statusbar to be always on to utilize this capability. It has been included in the latest release, but not 0.3.30

    this is an amazing rom ; runs smoother than custom nookie no issues yet overclocked it at 1.1Ghz i dont like the keyboard but other than that its nice :D

    keep up the good work
    You can always switch to the stock android keyboard if you don't like the NI keyboard. It's included. If the issue is you thought you need to hold down a button for caps or symbols, just hit the sym key or double tap the shift button. I had another user who had this issue who didn't know this earlier

    Updated to version 0.4.2!!!

    Updated fonts, kernel in OC version, changed notification icons and button positions, changed notification toggle icon, added internal 5.0 GB partition to mount to /media on boot, and added back email.apk
