I'm having the same good luck as billingdl on a factory-reset 1.4.1 install. I reset the device using Quick Settings->Device Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device, rebooted, registered with BN, then immediately booted off of SD and installed manualnooter-5-12-18.zip. After rebooting, the sync indicator came on, and the device became nearly unresponsive for extended periods. After an hour or so of "settling down", everything appears to be working well. After reinstalling some apps, I have experienced hangs on restarting, accompanied by that sync indicator.
I've installed apps from the Android Market, downloaded content from B&N with no problems. I've also set up Enhanced Email with a corporate account. So far, I haven't encountered anything broken.
A few issues:
1. I would love to install Swiftkey X as a replacement keyboard. I'll try putting it in /system/app with Root Explorer per the Nook Color Tools note.
2. I think working around the B&N limited settings panel is going to be annoying. Has anybody tinkered with putting the full Android version on a Nook?
3. The google Contacts app is missing. I should be able to figure this one out.
4. When I pull up the Android Market in a desktop browser, the Nook Color shows up as "Phone".
5. Google Currents and many other apps show as not compatible with this device, although it was fine on CM7.1. I suspect this is related to issue 4. I'm not up enough on Android innards to know where to start fixing this. Is this a build.prop issue?
6. There is no way to select other calendars in the google Calendar app. I've got several associated with my gmail account, and unfortunately, the "wrong" one is showing. This is not really something essential, but if there's a quick fix, I'm interested!
