Looks good - to be honest there's a lot of functionality Eden just doesn't provide now that even stock android does - panel view is handy for the few apps it works on, but for now isn't enough of a benefit, especially since widget functionality just isn't there.
I'll give it a whirl on my PiQi Adam when I have a chance (probably towards the end of the week). Has anyone else had success with this rom or feedback regarding it?
E: Nm, followed the link over to nihacks. Thanks again.

We've had a few test it in IRC. It moves away from Eden, so its definitely aimed at people that aren't the biggest fans of it.

THANK YOU!
Finally. I think for the first time I'll actually be able to put my Adam to use. Previously it sat in a sleeve unused. It was so worthless with Eden on it. This will make a huge difference.
Quick question:
Has anyone ever been able to get their GPS to work? Google Maps always says location temporarily unavailable. I'm starting to think I have a defective GPS.
Regardless of what ROM I use, GPS never works. Any ideas? PS: Yes location using GPS is enabled in settings.

Just saw Albert Wertz's video of this rom. Real nice work. I'm due to recieve my Adam next week. Will be a willing tester. Do you think there is any chance cellular phone calling can be activiated on this device? I know it has the Ericson F3307 module for 3g, but do not know if it supports voice.
Thanks for your efforts!!!

I think there have been people wanting this feature, but would be a separate project that would apply to all Adam ROMs. I am unaware if anyone is really persuing it, and I can't because I don't use the cell radio on my tablets.
I do hope to push a new version out maybe tonight or tomorrow with the Eden apps included, but without the Eden launcher. So this would give everyone the benefit of the Adam apps without having to use the panel system.

Awesome.....From what I've seen {Without having the tablet yet} I'm not too excited about the Eden launcher, but some of the apps would be very cool.
A huge thank you!! Do you accept any donations?

i can confirm the hdmi feature doesnt work on mine....
someone on notion hacks who is on this rom reported no issues so maybe we need to wipe dalvik or possibly reflash?
or maybe an update since there is starting to be a a fan base building for this rom!

Can I just cleanup the dalvik with titanium backup or will I have to flash to clockwork to do it? First time I flashed clockwork I got stuck in a boot loop so I flashed from the internal with the notion stock recovery to update the rom.

When you got stuck in the boot loop, did you try wiping the cache in ClockworkMod? Wiping the cache from CWM seems to fix the bootloop issue for a number of people with the same issue on CWM (+this ROM).

I ended up reloading the entire adam at that point from the NI image and then used the internal flash to flash the ROM to Utopia. I have determined another problem that might not be caused by the ROM though now. I have a second sdcard showing up now with a bunch of jibberish letters and a lostdir folder. My adams internal storage only shows as having 1.95 gb total. Either my flash card is bad or i didn't get a good clean load of the ROM in the beginning. ( Never checked this before I noticed the HDMI issue.) My fix is going to be a complete reflash of the adam and reflash the entire ROM and a reformated sdcard. I also ordered a new (class 10) external sdcard just in case. Has anyone else ran into a internal flash problem so far? I don't know of a method to test my internal flash so I'm gonna just reflash the entire system back to stock and restart from there.

Yes I remember I had some strange SDcard issues and saw the lost dir in mine as well. It was having issues copying and pasting but this was only on the roms that had sniffer.(for me atleast)
did you end up getting hdmi to work?
I ended up wiping my dalvik cache via the recovery menu and the HDMI out still doesnt display on the screen. It does run a bit faster after an extended reboot though.

The problem you are defining has to do with the vold that is in the ROM and stock eden ROM. EdenX uses an alternative one, but that brings other issues.
If using linux, you will get two partitions mounted. One 2GB one, which is /data, and one 6GB one, which is /sdcard. If this problem occurs, anything you copy to your sdcard will be corrupted.

My HDMI out is working fne with this rom. Pic: http://db.tt/zILQ1yh

Rothnic..... what would you suggest I do to fix the problem?

[GUIDE] A Noobs Guide to Getting Started with a Custom Rom on the Nook Color

A Noobs Guide to Getting Started with a Custom Rom on the Nook Color
So you heard about the nook color. How it's a cheap e-reader that can be pushed to the limit and you are wondering how you can enable this power for yourself. Well you came to the right place!
Table of Contents

2. SD or Internal instal
a. SD install
b. internal install
3. Restoring to Stock
4. Other Cool Stuff
5.Issues
6. Conclusion
7. Changelog (Last update 1/10/12)
1. Why you should NOT use Honeycomb
So you've heard about how the Nook Color can run Honeycomb and you are thinking that you want to try it. I mean why not? It's a tablet OS and the Nook is supposed to be turned into a tablet right? Well here's how it is. Honeycomb unlike other versions of Android is not an open source release. That means that developers cannot see how it works and have to reverse engineer basically the entire thing. This leaves you will something that barley runt because of countless missing drivers and many bugs from the SDK simulator. Honeycomb is a very painful and unstable experience. Do not use it. Wait for the next version of Android codename Ice Cream Sandwich to come out. For now use CM7. To check on the progress of CM9 (AKA ICS) check out this thread where you can find the first alpha builds.
2. SD or Internal install
The first decision you need to make is if you want to install CM7 (Android) over your current stock firmware or to run from an SD card.
a. SD Install
The benefit of running from an SD card is that you get to keep your Nook's current stock rom along side your Android install. The downside is that Android will run terribly if you do not use the correct SD card.
When running from an SD card use ONLY a SANDISK CLASS 2 or 4!
Take a look at this thread here for why you need to use a Sandisk:
Instructions for installing to an SD card
b. Internal Install
I recommend you do an internal install just because it is more stable and a lot easier to troubleshoot and upgrade to a newer CM version. If you ever need to return to stock it is very easy (see part 3).
To install to your internal memory follow this guide
Remember if you have a newer Nook that came with stock version 1.2 or above you may want to follow the repartitioning instructions here to have more space available to save files.
3. Restoring to Stock
So something happened and you need to return to stock. You need to make a warranty claim, register you device with BN, or whatever.
Here is what you need to do
When you are done you will have a complete stock Nook to do whatever you want with.
4. Other Cool Stuff
Watch Hulu with a hacked flash app
Make your Nook more Honeycomb like with TransformerBread
5. Issues
Help Facebook keeps force closing!!!!!
Solutions:
1. Use Facebook 1.6 or lower
2. Use tetherGPS lite
3. Use a third party app
Use this thread for help
N64oid won't work!!!!
Starting with N64oid 2.0 and above the new .32 Nook kernel used in CM7 does not work with N64oid.
Solutions:
Use a version of N64oid before 2.0
Use an older version of CM7 without the .32 kernel
Use this thread for help:
6. Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you out. If you think there is anything I should add or you have any questions feel free to comment.

Overclock/undervolt is included in the CM7.1 kernel.
Overclocking is built in to the CM settings. To undervolt you need to use the Nook Tweaks app.

Link provided by koolkid was for 1.0.1 but I think it was the standard procedure for any other version.
I'm eager to learn a new, better way.

I just substitute the full 1.3 .zip for the CM7 and gaaps .zips when booting with the original install image and it works fine. I recommend everyone who installs CM7 to the eMMC save their original install SD card for future needs and buy a 2nd one for use with CM7. The 1.3 .zip now seems to be missing from the drop box site though so someone will need to repost it. It was linked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&page=29

Thanks for a very useful thread ... even though I already have mine running on CM7 since last month, really grateful for the info regarding the Facebook FC.
I'm still very much a noob at this.
One suggestion for more info regarding an issue which many noobs like me may have: How to expand the partition to use the rest of the SD card. On my 16Gb card, it now has four partitions: Boot, 2x unallocated, and Storage. Using EASUS PartitionMaster, how do I expand the fourth partition ? Do I have to delete the two unallocated ? Any further info regarding this would be very much appreciated !!
If I use App2SD, which partition would those programs go to ? Seeing that I already booted from SD, the Apps are already on the SD, right ? No need to "move to SD" ?
Thanks ahead for the schooling !!

For your first question: just right click the 4th partition, select resize and then make sure everything is selected.
For your 2nd question: I'm not exactly sure as I do not use an SD install. Maybe someone else with more SD booting experience can help but what I am thinking is that all of your apps are on the 2nd or 3rd partition but when you use app2SD they get moved to the 4th partition.

Unfortunately you cannot use the 8 failed boot method if you replace the stock recovery which most do when installing CM. That is why I used the method I did with this guide. It works no matter what is on your internal memory.

I'm probably slow but your provided link is for rooting the 1.2/1.3 NC using ManualNooter. It has nothing to do with reverse back to stock ROM.
And, the complete wipe near the bottom of the first post, again, has nothing to do with reversing if currently running custom ROM on eMMC.

A mod should definitely sticky this...most helpful thread I've read in the general forum yet.

Thank you so much
I just got a refurbished Nook Color and after hours of searching and reading I came across your post. This guide is a like a mother-load of good links and clear instructions. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. It has really helped me understand what was needed to get my NC up and running.

This is a really helpful guide for beginner.
I want to ask some thing about the whole workflow. I've used other Android phones to play with rooting and flashing new roms, but NC is quite new to me. So still need to make sure about something.
In this guide, there is nothing about rooting. And when I use CM7 from a SD card, I don't have to do that and already got the su in terminal. So I suppose if I just flash CM onto the eMMC, I'll get root access anyway. I don't have to root it right now in its stock system, right?

-Updated the Restoring to stock guide to use a 1.3 and the newest clockwork it's on Android Central for now but I might move it over here if I get some time.

Nope, no need to root if you are going to flash CM7 because of the ability to boot a custom recovery from an SD card.

[Q] First time rooting and flashing LG-p990

Hello everyone. I just bought my phone 3 months ago, and i'm little tired of stock rom, because of some lag and bugs it have. So i decided to flash some CM7. Really don't know anything about flashing and rooting. Was reading some threads on this forum, but there's so many information that at the end decided to create my own thread. Hope someone will have a little bit of time and reply it.
My phone info: (it's not rooted, just stock version out of the box)
Model: LG-P990
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725 (what is that?)
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: GRJ22
LGE Version: LGP990-V20a
1. So first of all i would like to make a backup, so if something went wrong i could recovery my phone. Maybe you could suggest some not very difficult tool for that.
2. What should i do next, wipe, root, flash, kernel rewrite? Maybe someone could link me or write how to do it step by step.
3. Which rom and kernel to use? What are difference between them (kernels and roms)? I prefer battery life > bugs > speed > customization.
P.s. I really don't know much about doing what i just wrote, please don't be mad Thank you for your help.

First of all you should root your device, this is generally the first thing to do. I believe I used super one click for this, here is a guide for doing so: http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-2x-p990-tutorial/ also there are some guides here around on xda where you will be able to follow a step by step tutorial for rooting
For easy backup I would recommend Titanium backup. Search for it on the market it will show up there furthermore you should always backup your phone through clockwork mod recovery. Clockwork mod is an app you install after rooting and you access recovery by flashing recovery and then booting into it. It is also from here you will be "flashing" your custom rom of choice
So in a step by step tutorial here's what to do:
1. Rooting
plenty of guides are found on this lg optimus 2x forum with links and guides as for how to root your phone. Afterwards you should check if it was done properly, you can do this with root checker simply download it from the market and check it
2. Downloading your custom rom:
Next step is to download your custom rom and throw it onto your phones SD-card.
You can choose anything you like but I would recommend the build in my sig link is here
now for kernels, you don't really need any :b you will be perfectly fine with whatever you already have here But if you do want to flash a custom kernel aswell it is virtually the same as flashing a custom rom
3. Make a backup of your phones apps and contacts:
Making backups is really easy, just download titanium backup from the market to backup your apps and backup your contacts through the phones built in adress book.
4. Boot your phone into recovery:
This is how it looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First of all, install rom manager this is an app found in the market just search for it and it will be there. Next use the app to flash clockworkmod recovery (yes thats the top button in the app :b). Then when this is done reboot into recovery. When here your phones screen will not be used to navigate, instead use your volume rockers to navigate and the power button to select.
When here you should make a nand-backup of your phone, this is basically a backup of everything on your phone and it can be used to restore your phone should anything go wrong here
This is somewhat like what your recovery would look like:
From here choose "backup/restore" and here choose backup. Now your phone will make a backup
Also before flashin you will have to choose both of the following options:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
5. Flash your rom (and custom kernel):
Now, finally, you will see some improvements :b Still navigating ClockworkMod recovery choose install zip from sd card, then find your rom and choose it. Now the flashing begins and your phone will do this for some time, once done reboot your phone and you're done!
GL and HF, i hope this helped you

1. First you need to root your phone. Rooting your phone won't erase your data. Use this guide to root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
This method works flawlessly and is really easy!
After rooting, you can check if it worked, by looking for the Superuser app in your app drawer, or download the root checker app and check for yourself.
Also, after you rooted your phone, you need to install the following apps: Rom Manager and Titanium Backup. With Titanium Backup, you can backup all your apps and restore them. Consider buying this app, because it's really worth the extra money. Use any SMS/Contacts backup app to backup your contacts. (Don't forget to grant Titanium Backup Superuser access)
Afterwards, you open Rom Manager (again give this app also superuser access) and select the option flash recovery. Clockworkmod recovery mode is just a system which allows you to flash custom roms and kernels. Make sure you flash the O2X recovery and not the G2X, because you have a P990. Clockworkmod Recovery version 5.0.2.0 is good enough. You can enter recovery mode with ROM Manager or reboot into it. When your phone is off, you can boot into recovery manually by holding the power and volume down button until you see the second LG bootscreen with the blueish background.
2. First you need to download the following things and put them on your SD card:
- Any ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or 9)
- Any kernel (Cyanogenmod Kernel for CM7 or CM9)
- Google Apps (for Gingerbread or Ice cream sandwich)
Afterwards, boot into recovery mode. You can navigate through the menus with the volume buttons and the power button. Also I would recommend you to make a backup of your current LG rom in recovery mode. (Backup/Restore - Backup - Yes) Keep this backup if you ever need to return your phone to stock in order to send it to LG.
In recovery mode choose the option:
- wipe data/factory reset
This option won't erase your root, only your current ROM and apps (but you should have made a backup by then)
After this is done, choose the option:
- wipe cache
This option is necessary in order to flash a rom
Then select the following option:
- install zip from sdcard
Browse through your sdcard and first install the rom. After this is done, install another zip and install the Google Apps package. This package includes the Android Market. Afterwards, you could install another zip, which is the kernel, but this is optional. Obviously you need to find the kernel zip and install it.
After installing all this you should be done and you should select reboot system. This will reboot your phone normally into the rom. Note that the first boot in a new rom always takes some time.
3 I would advise the combination in my signature. This combination is very smooth and fast.
Hope this helped!

Gosh this community is so helpful

You can put the rom zip file on your internal SD card. (the one of 5.5 GB) And then access it with CWM. So, yeah it's possible.

Adding files ICS
How can I add files to my phone while on ICS 4.0.4 (Nova HD)???
On stock gingerbread it worked but now i can't add any files. It shows internal storage and then no folders or files.

How can I add files to my phone while on ICS 4.0.4 (Nova HD)???
On stock gingerbread it worked but now i can't add any files. It shows internal storage and then no folders or files.

Nope I don't think so, many people are having the same problem. What you can do is to put your sd-card in a card reader and add files through there. That's what I do anyways :b
EDIT::
Have you checked if you have the correct drivers installed? go check in the device manager and if it says that no drivers are installed (or no correct drivers, anyways) try and install them automatically. This worked for me

Umm, I'm quite new here, so I don't exactly know how it works, but shouldn't this thread (post #3 especially) be "Sticky"?
Cause when I started to root/flash my O2x this all-in-1 post could save me a lot of time.. There is quite everything you need when you know nothing about changing a rom. And if there is something missing, you know what you need to search for, right?

Yes it should, but the truth is, this process is basically the same for every android phone out there, the only difference is the rom you choose really. I'm pretty sure there is an even more detailed guide somewhere out there

Thank you for help everyone, u helped me alot.
I just installed custom kernel/rom.
Rom: temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-85
Kernel: [CM7/MIUI Kernel][KANG][APR02] ETaNa with Spica (c) OTF ToolKit
When i installed all this, i missed Google Play and account sync, so i downloaded some "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and installed with Rom Manager. I don't know why, but google play crashes very very often. Maybe i did something wrong?
And how the hell should i select ringtone from my SDcard? Because when i click Phone Ring tone theres only some main ringtones and no "select from" options.
Oh and the last one, why the hell drawer is so lagy? Because of inscripted ADW? It's very anoying.
Thanks again.

You've done something wrong when flashing temasek's kang, I get google play immediately, don't need to flash gapps and it doesn't crash, I would do a full wipe and reflash if I were you.
To select ringtones you will have a folder in your sdcard media -> audio -> ringtones. You have to put the desired ringtones in that folder.
My drawer is also laggy. Just put the apps you use in your home screens and don't use it
Hope I helped! Cheers!

Hmmm theres no such a folder called media in my sdcard. And when i create it and move mp3 file to it it doesnt appear in ringtone selection. Do i need to restart my phone when i move ringtones to that folder?
When i was flashing new rom i did that. First i made a recovery, then wiped my phone, then clicked install zip from SD card and clicked my rom file. It said that flashing was successful. Then did the same for kernel. And finally rebooted my phone. Everything went well, phone turned on, no errors .. nothing. I installed latest version of that rom, i linked it before.
It seems google play not crashing anymore, i dont know why, but it works. I didnt do anything. Other problem appeared. When i installed GAPPS, Car Home app was installed. I removed it with Titanium Backup successfully. But sometimes in my bottom bar (where clock, battery and other stuff are), it appears. When i slide that bar down it says click to close Car Home. Its very anoying. I tried to look with root explorer for that app in my phone, no clue. How the hell should i remove it? Because i cant find it anywhere. Thanks

Good and thanks, but I need to check my SD-Card first if I have changed to EXFAT.

Can you make one script for xperia TX?
Sorry if it's a wrong forum, because TX has no forum and it's dead there.

thx for bringing the script to the xperia z. Have had it on my note 2 and missed it.

Would be nice if you could explain exactly what this app does, since not all of us came from samsung phones. And at least viewers don't have to look for the original thread to read what it's all about. =)
PS: The original app also support extfat. What about this version?

From what I understand about it is, that it mounts the external sd as the internal sd and vice versa. The phone then recognizes the external card as internal storage and installs the app data and any other data (e.g. Downloads) on it as it would do on the original internal storage. About exfat, I dont't know much, but I think the kernel from the Z doesn't support exfat right now and the samsung one does support it.

No prob. Glad, I could help.

Thanx for the clarifications. I have another questions though. Seeing that it will now use the external sdcard as an internal sdcard, what happens to the actual internal sdcard? Will it still be used? Or it just stays there and becomes redundant?

Ive rooted my XZ LOCKED BOOTLOADER.. I ve tried Link2SD so I can move and install apps to my SD but that was no good..anyway found your thread here and applied it to the letter with my 4 GB sd and after reboot script manager was granted his SU permissions and after that the phone died...rebooted itself again and after script manager gained its SU permission it died again...and again and again...dont know why and dont know how to fix it..

to stop the reboots simply go to recovery and wipe data and cache. Dont know why you would use this if you have only a 4gb card??

how can i change again

AFAIK the actual internal sdcard is purely used as storage, as the external sdcard would be used, if it wasn't reversed. Correct me, if I'm wrong, 'cause I'm no expert.

bokbokan's 4.4.4 SD Bootable Rom (broken link... no mirror found, compiling via zip)

Trying to revive bokbokan's good work here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583952 to install a ROM on my SD card for pure SD card boots.
Unfortunately the SD card image download links
SD Card images
HD: sdcard-hummingbird-cm11.0-v1.img
HD+: sdcard-ovation-cm11.0-v1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
are down and I'm not able to find them anywhere.
I did stumble upon this:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/50u3ly90m2vemdb/bokbokan_sdcard-ovation-cm11.0-v1-boot.zip/file
Judging by the filename, I'm assuming it's the same thing as the original .img he posted.
The contents of this file are
- kernal
- MLO
- ramdisk.cwm
- ramdisk.stock
- u-boot.bin
- uImage
The first step in his instructions are to
Use Win32DiskImager (or other similar tools) under Windows, write the downloaded and extracted SD image into your SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I'm confused as to what to do. If my assumption is correct that the mediafire download link is the same as the original .img file, what alternate way must be undertaken to write these files to my SD card.
Win32DiskImager will only burn .img files.
I'm hesitant to just trial and error things, hence this thread looking for advice..
Anyone know what should be done?
What first comes to my mind is to extract the zip, and then use some program (not sure which), to make the extracted zip files into a .img file to burn.
But then again, I'm not sure the schematics of all this and if this will be sufficient enough to make the SD card boot as instructed.
Would be great if I could find a mirror (or if someone who has it backed up somewhere could share it!), or else if there's an easy safe way to convert the .zip file I found into a .img like above?
Again, the link in the thread is broken, so I'm not even sure what was included in the original .img file.
So far as I know, this is the highest Android version compatible for SD Bootable Roms.. anyone more familiar with the Nook and Android system can assist to help bring this back to life again?

That can't be right bruman2012 as the file is only 7MB , I would like this image as well .
Is the Dev still active ? He may have a copy .

I had no trouble getting the ROMs from Android File Host, but that scammy DevHost site is a nightmare. Searching for the image filename took me to succulents site: https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2014/09/24/cm11-0-kitkat-android-4-4-4-for-nook-hd-sdcxxx-24sep2014/
I suggest you try his image. He mentions this ROM. The only trouble is his instructions are sooooooooooooo complex
But, if you get his SD card image, it just might work following the other directions.

I did come across that. I was a bit perplexed by the instructions, and the kernel they reference ('flash_kernel_fuzz_8x8_SDC') goes to a 400 Bad Request page, so I was a bit iffy about it.
Furthermore, The link you posted is for hummingbird (nook HD), not ovation (Nook HD+).. it looks like they don't have a 4.4.4 SD Bootable rom
It's not letting me post links but the url is 2013/12/20 / cm11-0-kitkat-android-4-4-2-for-nook-hd-xx-20dec2013 . .
So not really what I'm looking for.. Thank you though

Well bokbokan's img.zip is 8.12MB...
The files in the zip I posted might be the core files (assumption as I've never had a copy of it ), but it's a .img so It's designed to be flashed to an SD and partition it properly... Not sure how to properly convert the zip if this is the case (and if they are the same files)...
That'd be awesome if bokbokan is still active and could post a mirror. I'm sure he put in a lot of work it's a shame it's virtually no where to be found at the moment. Does not seem likely though.. looking at his profile

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether you wanted HD or HD+.
Succulent did produce an SD-based KitKat ROM for the HD+, however. That's here: https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/category/nook-hd-2/
It's billed as for a device with a "bricked" EMMC so it runs entirely on the SD card. Seems like it should work even if the EMMC is OK.
I checked bokbokan's profile on Android File Host but only the ROM files were available

So I may have found a mirror.. haven't tested it out yet.
Just searched on google for 'bokbokan' and came across this site
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1dDvHHlf&xi...LkJrhhL17rUj8UQ0ZD_Ij7fcXHBEsGghQ#list/path=/
Had to guess my way through a download link since it is all in chinese... but seems to have the file i'm looking for -- sdcard-ovation-cm11.0-v1.img.zip
It's 8.1MB total posted on 2016-08-02 23:24 but dated 2013-12-28 14:14
also has a seemingly non-bokbokan rom in the folder cm-11-20131226-UNOFFICIAL-sgt7-ovation.zip . . . .
I can post a mirror once It's done finishing downloading. Like I said it's only 8.1mb.. I don't know if it's from a chinese web server or what, but it's taking it's sweet time..
Going about 12.2KB/s at the moment..... so taking about 10 minutes just to finish the download.
Aside from the identical filename, is there anyway to check if this is a legitimate version of bokbokan's original sd boot img file?

Okay, it finished... once again this is a UNTESTED link from a possible untrusted source . . . .
but it's the only copy I can find.
As said, I have not had a chance to try it out yet, just found it and I'm about ready to head out for the day. Anyone know of a way to verify it it's safe/legitimate?

Trying this out right now. Currently on a LineageOS 14.1 EMMC boot.
The dev-host link is hell, but it does provide the original MD5 sum. I was able to use WinMD5Free to verify the MD5 sum matched to the mediafire link. So this is a confirmed mirror.
Will update once installed.

Did not work at all. Boots as normal. Detects a new SD card while booted, but does nothing in the boot menu with it inserted.
It's been a while since I've played around with the Nook -- hoping someone smarter than me will eventually chime in
Is this because I have LineageOS 14.1/Android 7.1.2, while trying to boot this with TWRP 3.0.1?
Do I need to get another EMMC rom, or revert to CWM for this to work?

More testing on this...
Ended up installing [ROM][4.4.4][Ovation][EMMC][UNOFFICIAL] SlimKat as my main EMMC rom. Had to reformat my previous lineage 7.1.2 install to EXT4 on the cache and data partitions.
Booted up, flashed SuperSU 2.82 in TWRP to obtain root permission.
Once properly rooted, inserted bokbokan's SD card per the instructions in his post.
Pressed the 'n' button to go to boot menu, and installed the latest CM11 SD boot version I could find -cm-11-20141129-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip.
Takes a few minutes to install, I reset.. and now, with the SD card in, have the option of choosing my main rom (currently slimkat 4.4.4) or Alternate Rom (SD boot rom).
And all is well! I'm going to have to mess a bit more to see what I can have on my EMMC while still maintaining the SD boot. Is it as simple as keeping the file partitions EXT4? Not sure.
Otherwise, hope my trek to get this back up and running has helped someone else as well!
As far as I know, this is the way to latest (albeit old) and last SD boot rom published for the Nook HD+-- CM12 SD boot installs are non-existant.
Still, very happy with the speed on the SD card rom and CM11 in general! Thank you bokbokan. . . wherever you are!
