I did all of this below as instructed on XDA Developers forum. After writing all the files I rebooted and it comes up into a command line but the instructions say to set up Wifi. I thought it would go to an Android GUI screen. Not So.
What is the correct way to BOOT the card after writing it. I simple;y Held the Power button down and it booted into this Linux like screen in what looks like a DOS type command line screen.
I assume that I missed something here but do not know what. If I cannot get to a GUI I guess it is not very useful.
TIA.
Grab the installer image here:
http://nook.handhelds.ru/sdimage/gen...rd-v1.1.img.gz
it's a ~9M image that would unpack into ~130M disk image.
Write the image on your SD card. I tested with 2G and 8G cards and both worked.
Any uSD card of 1G or bigger in size should work if it is recognized by your nook.
After done with writing, eject and then insert the uSD card into your computer.
Now download a CM nightly build from here
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=encore
Or get my last build from here:
http://nook.handhelds.ru/cm7/
Or just use your own update-cm-*-KANG-signed.zip file that is produced if you do your own builds.
The image would correctly detect unmodified CM7 builds and would make necessary adjustments to make them work on SD card.
Put the file to the SD card (there is only one partition). Don't change the name of the file.
unmount the uSD card and insert it into the nook.
Boot from this SD card. It'll boot and will update you on progress.
When it's done, it'll blank the screen, but won't reboot (I am still looking into it).
Press the power button for 8 seconds or so to turn off, then turn on.
That's it, you now have CM7 on your SD card.
How to install market and gapps:
After you have booted into the CM7 on SD card for the first time and set up wifi access (important!)
