How do you keep it stable, greyfox? Mine crashes frequently on the launcher

What? The open-gl builds? I use the 19.4 wraithdu busybox in combination with V6 Supercharger (link in my sig) and have noticed it is slightly more stable. But I've never found a CM9 build for Nook the was 100% stable and would never crash. We are the alpha/beta testers for ICS on this device, by doing this, we have to accept a little instability as a requirement. If you want something really stable, you should drop back to CM7.
Thanks, I will have to try that. In terms of stable though I was referring to the non-opengl builds which seem to never crash unless you try.
GooManager on SD install
Has anybody tried using GooManager to Flash ROMs on an SD install? I know how to set up TWRP on the SDcard as an Alt Recovery but I'm not sure if it'll properly write the ROM update to the card or will it try to push it to the EMMC. I'm asking as I'd prefer to avoid any headaches with Repairing the EMMC and such.
It'd be much more convenient then using the SD-installer. For now I'll just stick to using the SD-installer until I know for sure.

I just set up a system today to automate Goo Manager to download the nightly/incremental files directly to your boot partition so that the script can install it for you. Look in my signature for a link to my tips thread. It is there as item # B4.
PS, you do not want the normal TWRP as an alternate on your SD. Everything it does will be done to emmc (including as you suspected installing ROMs there.) I also have an alternate recovery for the SD, but it has been modified to work on the SD. See item # B5 in my tips thread.

I suspected as much. Good thing I went with my gut. Also thanks for the Tips Thread. It helped solve some of the annoying quirks I've had since I've switched to CM9 from CM7.
Now my only real problem is fuguring out why both of the UPNP apps I try to use (UPnPlay and BubbleUPnP) kill my WiFi connection, neccesitating a reboot. The apps both worked fine on CM7 and I've seen plenty of Screenshots of them working on ICS, but whenever I open either app on CM9 my WiFi ceases to function properly and nothing but a reboot fixes the problem. I get no Errors, Force Closes, or any other signs of fault.
The latest build here: http://android.sphsolutions.net/Encore/Nightlies/CM9/ is 20120607 . Did samiam stop building this, or did it move, or???
I just loaded 0607 and it works great except getting default browser crashes.

It seems that a while back my build system broke for some reason, and I just haven't ever had time to focus on getting it back in working order -- I've started a new job and am going back to school, so I think at this point I'm just going to officially discontinue this project and leave you guys in Eyeballer's well qualified hands. Thanks to everyone who used my builds -- this was a fun project for me and I hope you all enjoyed it too.
As much as it pains me to say it.... Focus on more important things than building ROMs for us.....
Thank You! for all the hard work you have put in.

Big round of applause for Sam and all the work he's done in helping to make our Nook's be all they can be.

INTRODUCTION
Now that Fattire has lifted his request that everyone build their own zips, I've decided to make available the nightly builds I've been generating. I've got an OS X system cranking out a new build every night at midnight, so there will always be an up to date zip available!
Credit for this rom goes to Fattire, Dalingrin, keyodi, nemith, arcee and the the other hard working people over in the development thread, as well as the the CyanogenMod developers and anyone who's done work on the Nook Color. I wish I could list everyone by name but there's so many great people who've made contributions I can't even begin to do so. I'm just building zips from the source; we'd be nowhere without the contributions these great developers have made to this community.
As nighty builds, these zips may not always work. I'll try to remove any zip found to be broken, but you know the drill: All files provided here are to be installed at your own risk. I'm making built zips available, but no warranty is expressed or implied by the hosting of said zips. I'll provide what support I'm able to, but that doesn't mean that there aren't potentially unknown bugs. If you have questions, you should check the development thread or try the #NookColor IRC channnel on irc.freenode.net.
As posted by Fattire slightly further down, anyone feeling adventurous should definitely consider building from source rather than downloading the built zips. Here's his two cents:
However, if you're not quite sold on setting up a development environment but you still want to try the goodness that is Ice Cream Sandwich, proceeed on down to the...
DOWNLOADS
Without further ado: The Ice Cream Sandwich zips!
Ice Cream Sandwich Nightly Builds.
The rom does not include the google apps, so you can/should flash the lastest version of those, which is available here.
Finally, I've hosted a few flashable zip files to make small tweaks to the rom. These are all located in the misc. folder on my server. Below is an explanation of each zip and its purpose.
MISC FOLDER INFO
If you notice that some apps are missing from the market, this may be due to the fact that these ICS builds for the nook do not include support for apps which request phone permissions. Although this ideally would be fixed by developers not requesting phone permissions for their app unless it absolutely needs to be phone-specific, you can also fix it by flashing the telephony-permissions-fix.zip file located in the misc folder. You will likely want to flash this file immediately after flashing your rom.
Secondly, if you prefer the old bootanimation from the galaxy nexus, you can also flash the fix-bootanimation.zip located in the Misc. folder, which replace the new CM9 animation it with Homer_S_xda's fixed version. Thanks to Homer for the fix!
NOTES ON INSTALLING TO SD
I've fixed Verygreen's sd installer image to work with ICS -- you should no longer have to flash SP1 first, or rename the gapps to gapps-gb. If you test out this image, please let me know how it works for you! More recently, Leapinlar has stepped up in helping to fix the image further, increasing its size to allow for the larger size of the new nightlies. Thanks to him for his help -- It's available for download here. Huge thanks to Verygreen for helping me to figure out what needed to be fixed -- in the words of HacDan, "He's not just super helpful, he's a genius". Once you've got the new image, you can use Verygreen's original instructions from his thread on SD Installs, replacing "cm7" with "cm9" where necessary.
IN CONCLUSION
Please remember to thank the developers working on this project, as they've done seriously awesome things for us in an amazingly short amount of time. If you have questions/comments specifically regarding my zips, please post them here, but if you have more general questions regarding Ice Cream Sandwich on the NC you may want to head on over to the development thread. Finally, if you're really enjoying the rom I'd strongly recommend that you try setting up a build environment and building your own zips -- even though I'm making prebuilt ones available they're no substitute for the experience gained by getting familiar with the build process yourself, and Fattire has done a great job of making it an extremely accessible and rewarding project.29It seems that a while back my build system broke for some reason, and I just haven't ever had time to focus on getting it back in working order -- I've started a new job and am going back to school, so I think at this point I'm just going to officially discontinue this project and leave you guys in Eyeballer's well qualified hands.

Want to build ICS from raw source code yourself?
It may be a good learning activity, and will certainly make you more self-sufficient. Hundreds have built ICS for Nookcolor successfully, and understanding the process will make you an Android ninja-- PLUS you can try features and bug fixes as-yet-unaccepted-into-the-mainstream build.
Take a look at:
The ICS NookColor Build WalkThrough11So I've fallen off the forum a bit in recent weeks/months, but it's summer now so I'm back! In the interest of trying to bring this thread back up to date with the new developments, I've FINALLY gotten around to making a change I'd been meaning to make for a long time now -- my builds will now clobber after uploading each nightly to the server, so every one will be a clean scratch build. Hopefully this'll get rid of any issues that may have been kicking around from reusing the code.
EDIT: I also want to thank those helpful posters -- I have leapinlar primarily in mind but there's too many to name individually -- who have been tirelessly providing user support and keeping this thread alive. You guys are a great help to the community!10
