[ROM][May 29 2011] >>> phiremod nook V6.3 <<< | TEST Build Available

Welcome to phiremod for Nook! This rom is based off CM7.0.3, so thanks to Cyanogen and teamdouche for the awesome work.

I am not a developer - I do this for fun - thank your devs for all of their much appreciated work.

Let me make this clear: If you want stock CyanogenMod on your nook, please download it from here. I tweaked it for my purposes, and decided to share it with the community. Feel free to take it or leave it. To follow the progress of CM7 development for the Nook, please see Dalingrin's thread here. If you are a developer of an included app and wish for me to remove it, just let me know.

Your warranty was void long ago, so I am not responsible for any damages you may encounter (though you probably won’t). This is a Clockwork flashable zip only. It WILL erase your internal memory. Please make the necessary backups.​

Installation for V6.3:
- NOTE: If you would like to run phiremod off your SD card rather than EMMC, XDA user racks11479 made a nice guide here.
- Flash with ClockworkMod Recovery =)
- Also available via Rom Manager

New! Test build available based on Nightly 101. Please be aware it is based on an 'unstable' nightly build. Please take the necessary backups.

Get it here!

Huge thanks to:

"- System fonts are still black (so status bar text/menu setting text aren't readable)"

I'm no themer, but I would think this would be fairly easy to fix.

That aside, it's great to see a new release on the NC scene. Downloading now!

For what it's worth, i'm having the same problem setting up my google account on your rom as I was having on nookie froyo .6.7 with gapps an hour ago. With the same errors in the logcat as well.

Looks nice, just wondering why you wanted to keep the stock launcher that has the phone.apk shortcut on it.

While we have no phone?

 

[huskerpat]

do the "read to me" books still work with just the Nook app?

 

[TheEditor]

Since not everyone likes to flash to eMMC, can we get a version for boot via SD or failing that instruction for converting it and I will be happy to do the work and make it available.

Notice the OP mentions the use of ADW for the launcher, so this ROM does not use stock launcher. This means that the phone icon is customizable.

Unfortunately, I don't believe they do, but I have not confirmed this myself.

I will look into it, and if I don't have time, I'll contact you

Soooo guys dont try to format your sd cards in this rom because it will brick your nook. It wont boot into anything. it wont even boot. Apparently instead of formatting the card it formats the boot partition which is the worst idea ever. Soo learn from my mistakes. I now have a 250 paperweight and no books to read...

Before you declare a "BRICK", try this:

Read through the Dummies Guide to Fixing 'My Nook Won't Boot'.

I did it last night and I'm back up and running again. Here's my post for an abridged version of what I did last night: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11374824&postcount=29

*Facepalm* They've said countless times to not format card inside this, plus formatting boot doesnt screw your nook permanently, theres hundreds of threads about booting into CWR and then flashing a restore to stock ROM. I even wrote an entire guide in the general section about what you did and how to fix it. Check it out, its called "Dummies guide to fixing my nook wont boot"

 

[Jamdat33]

turns out my sd card was faulty, just spent the last half an hour figuring that out. Borrowed one from my dad and ur guide worked flawlessly! Thanks guys... il never lose faith in my nook ever again...

Has phiremod fixed the notification drawer so it takes up the full width of the screen?

If you set the LCDDensity to 220 (maybe 200, unsure though) then it should fill the entire screen. Otherwise, no I haven't.
