Downloads
- Download the installer image from these links – that’s sort of a base image I think. Not sure which one I used for CM7. It may have been the same one they have with the CM9 links.
- Image Builds: CM7 CM9
- WinImage to apply the image to the card
- Nightly Builds CM7 or CM9 build
- Google apps if you want them are at the bottom of this page. Be sure to grab the one that corresponds with your build (CM7 or CM9)
- For CM9, download fixes for telephony permissions and boot animation. (See CM9 installer page)
Note:
The installer on the CM7 page is a gz file. I don’t recall downloading a program to open that, so I may have used the one from CM9 which is a .zip file. I’m not sure it matters.

From Windows
Unzip the Installer file to get the image file (for example) generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img
In WinImage, Restore Virtual Disk (pic1), select your SD card (pic2), Be sure the change to All Files in the bottom right (pic3)

And select the file you unzipped generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img. It will write the image to the card.
Drop the nightly build on the card…don’t unzip it.
On the Nook
Insert the card and boot the Nook. (No need to boot into recovery mode)
You should see the Penguin come up followed by a bunch of text. This doesn’t take too long. The unit will power off when done.
Power it on again. Some of the forums recommend connecting to wireless at least once before adding anything else.
In Windows Again
Drop the Google Apps package for your build onto the card.
Nook
Boot holding the “n” button at the bottom to boot into recovery mode. If you miss it, go ahead and boot into Android, and press and hold the power button until the menu comes up, choose reboot and recovery mode.
If you have CM9, you may want to install the telephony fix and the Boot animation fix on the CM9 page. This (I think) is done through the recovery boot.
Any apps you’ve installed using Google play will automatically reinstall themselves in whichever build you have.
Triple Boot Challenge
If you want to try the triple boot, there’s instructions herejust know it is a separate image file.
Applications
When you are all done loading your Nook...heck, during the the down-times between stuff, go to Gizmo's Freeware and start installing apps. This is a great place to start!
