[ROM] Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 Image for SDcard Updated (4/29)

[brianf21]

First, I would like to thank cicada for the 0.6.8 image, thecubed for sdcard bootable CWR image, shad0wf0x for his stock images, dalingrin for his kernel, rookie1 for his buttons, Wretchedlocket for his icon and theme help and samuelhalff for his help and his CWR image that I customized. This should fit on a 2GB or larger sdcard.

I've created a custom image for an SDCard using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 as a base. This will fit a 2 GB or larger sdcard. If you want the sdcard to be larger, you will need to delete the 4th partition and recreate it. It should be a FAT32 format and give it a label of sdcard. Added custom bootanimation.zip designed just for us Chuck6993. Thank you Chuck6993. If you like the bootanimation, please visit his thread and get him some beer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952188

3/31/11
dalingrin's 3/28/11 NF kernel
Cleaned up the status bar
Long press on home virtual key to pull up recent apps
Force the status bar in all application; look under NookColorUtils (I am not happy with this app, I am going to completely rewrite it shortly.)
Fixed strange flick behavior on status bar (I have not worked on the flick up and flick down yet)
Browser fix is included in the image
For more on the status bar, see this thread.
Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock

Issues:
If flash is not working in either Dolphin or the Android Browser, you most likely cleared dalvik-cache.
The fix: I have included a copy of flash on the sdcard partition, if flash stops working, go to the sdcard in Astro and tap not press the flash apk. You will be prompted to open the app manager. Uninstall flash then go back into Astro then tap it again to reinstall it. After that is done, go to both Dophin and the Android Browser and delete data and cache under the applications in settings.


3/18/2011:
Unzip the attached framework.zip and copy to /system/framework/
This will be difficult for Windows users unless you have adb installed, but I would like some Linux users to test it out. I will try to write a script/app that will unzip and copy directly on the device. If someone else wants to write the script that would be okay too. I am try to avoid making everyone re-image their sdcard just to get the update.

Now to the good stuff, I have everything, messages, buttons and icons on the status bar centered vertically and the drop down notification bar is full screen at 160 LCD density.

Let me know how you like it and how you installed it. We need to come up with a easy install for non-techies that boot to the sdcard.

3/15/11 version 3:
Cleaned up the buttons on the status bar
Cleared out data and rebuilt it (I think this is will fix the problem with the market and wifi. Sorry to make you download and burn it again.)
Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock

In the works:
Make the notification drop-down take up the full width of the screen
Move the status bar to the bottom
Make the start bar black

3/14/11 version 2:
dalingrin's latest kernel (dalingrin, if you are reading this, great work)
Add rookie1's buttons to the status bar (Thanks Rookie1!)

I still have some things to clean up but it is working well. Click the N button twice to bring up softkeys whenever there is no status bar.

Put on dalingrin's latest kernel. (If you want to overclock it, you must use SetCPU)
Using ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5
Changed build.prop back in a hope to improve video
LauncherPRO <----------

DO NOT DELETE THE SOFTWARE THAT CICADA INSTALLED. (If you delete the default software, market will not display all the packages.)

Use dd or www.winimage.com to burn the image to the sdcard. Under the disk menu, choose your drive, then under the disk menu, choose restore image. Use easeus.com to resize the last partition.

Is the nook reader the app from the market, or is it what came with the nook?

Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App

 

[brianf21]

From the Market.

 

[moonpie28]

I'll try it out when I get home. So you resized data or whatever for an 8 gig card?

Good choice of basic edits to start customizing the system...same stuff I would do.

Sent from my swype-a-myn-a-calkytalky googly super premium deluxe astounda phone

 

[brianf21]

Yes, the 4th partition.

 

[Divine_Madcat]

Looks awesome - cannot wait to try it (once i can download it). Thanks for the work!

 

[bassrebel]

will give it a go once I get home

 

[cevans59]

I can confirm that this will work using Win32DiskImager to burn to an SD card.

Great work

 

[tgallant21]

Awesome works well with win32.

 

[sasquatch_hero]

Does this actually require i use an 8gb sd card? Or can I use any size? Cause I have 2gb, 4gb and 16gb... but no 8's...

It will need at least 8gb to fit the sdcard image. I'm using a 16gb and it works fine, however I am wasting space.

BTW OP can you make a 16gb version? It would be much appreciated.

 

[TheEditor]

Can someone tell me how to create this as a 2gb image? I would love to learn it and not just have it given to me.

 

[brianf21]

I can make a 2 and 4 GB version, but I would need to know the last block number for each. For a 16 GB version, I can give instructions how to blow away the partition, recreate it and reformat it.

 

[DrewLGT]

very nice! runs a little laggy from my class 4 card though.


if i can ever get my ADB working, i'm running this from my internal memory for sure.

 

[bane449]

I'd like a 4GB version please!

Disk /dev/sdb: 3963 MB, 3963617280 bytes
122 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders, total 7741440 sectors

The end block on the last partition according to fdisk -l is 7741439

Hopefully that's what you're asking for!

Instructions would be great. I just dislike having 8gb of unused space.

And thanks for putting this together, this is my first foray into Nookie Froyo and you have made it a blast!

I've created a custom image for a 8GB SDCard using 0.5.9 as a base. I used dd to copy it to the card. I am not sure if winimage will work. Just unzip it first. If anyone test it, let me know so I can change this. The physical N key has been configured as: One tap = Softkeys, Two taps = Zeam, and Long tap = Recent Task. Let me know if you like it.

I am sorry for being a noobie but how do I go about installing this ? I already have my NC rooted and I have a 8 gig sdCard. I also have winimage on my pc. What should I do with the *.img file and how should I partition my sdcard? Any tips or a "small" walk-through or guide would be very helpful to me and maybe a few others.

Thank you for your hard work with this ... it sounds great !!

If you check the original Nookie Froyo thread there is a step by step there, but the basics are:

Boot up WinImage
Choose "Restore Virtual Disk Image"
Choose your SD Card
Navigate to your .img file
Hit Apply, wait about 10-20 minutes (depending on card speed)
Turn off Nook Color
Insert SD Card
Boot up Nook Color
Wait about 3-4 minutes after boot for everything to "warm up"
Enjoy

download the zip of froyo, extract it to your desktop. open winimage, click the button with the three little dots. select the file you just extracted, make sure it's going to write to the drive with your SD card, click the write button.

thats it, throw the SD card in the nook and boot it up.
