So I have read through the thread on creating a CM10 SD card. I have also read a couple of threads on root etc.
I am interested in doing some research and demo of an HD+ and want to be able to go into a B&N or a BB and boot to a micro card I bring with me to test a few apps.
Is it possible to do something like that, or do I have to "build" the card on a device? If someone has a working image of a card I could download that would be perfect.
My overall intention is to then use my wifi hotspot, install dolphin and dice and do some web surfing tests as well as stream video tests.
Want to see how the unit stacks up to my Acer a500. I have played with a demo unit in BB and was able to surf via the built in browser and youtube but I want apples to apples comparison since that is what I am familiar with.
I use my acer 2-4 hours a day for video, surfing, etc and its getting a little old and slow these days.

You do have to boot the SD in a device one time to get the card to partition itself. Then adding the CM10 and gapps can be done at home with a Mac or Linux. Then you can take it back to the store to boot again to finish installing. Then you can run it there.

Based on that, then if someone could provide an image of a working micro card, I could use that, correct?
Anyone want to PM me with a download? I just need this to run some quick like for like comparisons before I pull the trigger!!!

If its easier, I am even willing to send a 4 or 8gig micro and a return label to someone and have them make a copy and send it back to me.




Thanks
