I recently installed Deeper Blue's Honeycomb Preview v4 on my Nook Color. The flash install included the Market and Google Apps. I am having a few issues with the OS so I am turning here for answers.

1. Google Calendar is nowhere to be found on my installation. Should the google calendar be accessible? If so, how can I get to it or install it?

2. After my installation the market (The green market with lost of curves) was installed, but it didn't have any up to date applications available. Therefore I installed version 3.0.27 (The block shaped market) of the marketplace by way of an apk file from the net. I can see up to date application now, but there is no button/link to download them to my device. Any reason why I cannot download them?

Would it be best to just use CM7 instead of Deeper Blue's Honeycomb in order to resolve these issues?

Thank You,

Urhos

Firstly, emulated HC is buggy, always since Google doesn't release source codes, you can forget about it. You get what you get now.
Secondly, ICS is around the corner.
Thirdly, CM7, up-to-now, is a way to go.

Also search for Market issue

I am only going by my own experiences. However, I have read hundreds of posts, specifically on CM7 and Honeycomb. CM7 because I have been running this for approx. 9 months and Honeycomb because I am interested in the newer tablet operating systems.

For the time I have been running CM7, I have found it to be very reliable and functional. In fact, I hardly ever go into the Nook OS anymore. I have run into a couple glitches / issues here and there, but for an OS that was modified to run on the Nook Color, it is excellent (in my opinion). I have come very close to running Honeycomb on my NC, but have run into issues that I have not yet found the answers to. And through this search have read many posts that express the fact that HC is still in its early development phases. In addition, that Ice Cream Sandwich is out, and there is a risk that HC may never get fully baked.

Again, this is only from my experiences and from what I read. I am fairly technical, and do a lot on my NC with CM7 but by no means a developer.

It is not in any development stage and there is no risk at all. HC is dead!
