Android 3.0 Honeycomb for your Nook Color now free to download

by Lee Mathews on February 1, 2011 at 10:30 AM

Just days ago, developer deeper-blue announced his initial success porting Android 3.0 Honeycomb to the Nook Color tablet e-reader. Now, he's made it a whole lot easier for anyone with some free time and patience to do the same.The ROM installs to your SD card, and most of the Nook's hardware is now functional -- including Wi-Fi, hardware graphics acceleration, touchscreen input, and control buttons.

Sleep and resume are also working properly, meaning you shouldn't burn through your battery too quickly while you experiment with Android 3.0 on your Nook. Head on over to xda-developers to download the Honeycomb image.

This is awesome! It worked the first time I tried it. (although i did try from a vista pc and it didn't work), but from a xp pc it worked perfect. I used EASEUS, and Win32 disk imager. really cool, take out the sd card and restart and you have your nook color back.

I tried this and it worked fine. I liked Honeycomb, but I couldn't access books and apps I had on 2.2, so I switched back to 2.2. I just turned it off, removed the MicroSD card, and it rebooted to 2.2 without any trouble.
