I've been searching far and wide for something that would essentially let me drop files into the boot partition on my SD card. I couldn't see the partition using any file managers, but the link you provided led me to this exact post: <br /><br />http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22858059&postcount=1652<br /><br />This link gives instructions for how to make the boot partition a folder that you can save the nightlies directly into, using GooManager or otherwise. <br /><br />In short...<br /><br />1) Download the file "update-sdbootmount-rev2.zip" from the link above.<br />2) Copy ZIP file to the SD boot partition by plugging it into your computer.<br />3) Insert card back into Nook, reboot to SD Card Recovery following your instructions.<br />4) Let it install, then load back into ICS.<br />5) You can now access the boot partition as "/sdboot/"<br />6) Download your nightlies into this folder either using the link from your tutorial or from GooManager (change download directory in settings to "/sdboot/" so to avoid copy/paste from the default directory).<br />7) Reboot to SD Card Recovery, again following your instructions.<br /><br />Now I don't have to keep ejecting and loading that tiny little SD card. It may not have been such a big deal if it was a little easier to get in and out of that slot. Oh well.<br /><br />Thanks again for your help. I owe you a beer or three :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622809.post-34335046705036656602012-08-24T10:03:06.772-05:002012-08-24T10:03:06.772-05:00I don't use GooManager but I've seen a dis...I don't use GooManager but I've seen a discussion of how to use GooManager for SD installs <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957&page=176" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Ben Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12779518055843568946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622809.post-88424156891663331982012-08-24T10:01:04.853-05:002012-08-24T10:01:04.853-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ben Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12779518055843568946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622809.post-70556839734955390232012-08-24T09:12:23.813-05:002012-08-24T09:12:23.813-05:00First, thanks for your straight forward instructio...First, thanks for your straight forward instructions on how to install ICS on Nook Color with an SD card. You made it very easy, and I was up and running with no issues relatively quickly. Also, thanks for the instructions on how to update to the new nightly builds. Again, very straight forward and no issues were had.<br /><br />I do have a question, though. I like to d/l the latest nightly every night, but taking out the SD card and all that is somewhat of a pain. I'm trying to figure out how to d/l and install the nightly from GooManager or something else, so I don't have to keep popping the SD card in and out. I've had limited success in finding other tutorials for how to use these other programs, but they all seem focused on installs that were done to the internal flash drive.<br /><br />Do you have instructions for how to use GooManager (or another ROM program) to d/l and update to the latest nightly on an SD card install?<br /><br />Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622809.post-42074278615404021052012-08-16T10:06:39.429-05:002012-08-16T10:06:39.429-05:00Thanks so much for this and your blog page on inst...Thanks so much for this and your blog page on installing CM9 to a micro sd card. I am running CM7 from the sd card on my Nook Color. I barely understand most of this stuff, and find it a great help that you have taken the time to consolidate the instructions and to elaborate by providing this distillation of your hands on experiences. I will soon take the leap to CM9. I feel emboldened by your excellent instructions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622809.post-25280623466886145692012-07-15T15:26:56.762-05:002012-07-15T15:26:56.762-05:00Yes, I'm still using Swype.

That was unstable on ICS but the recenty Swype Beta update made ICS work fine.<br /><br />Before the Swype Beta was updated I used TouchPal Keyboard on ICS and it worked fine.Ben Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12779518055843568946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622809.post-64745176451998596882012-07-15T15:19:40.947-05:002012-07-15T15:19:40.947-05:00This made my life SO much easier.
