Thank you for your response.

I will try loading up the latest build from CyanogenMod on my Nook when 
I get back from out of town.  If it still does not work I will try to 
pursue this on their forums with the information you sent me.

I did get the maxima installed on my optimus phone and it is working 
great.  The small screen makes it a little hard for my old eyes but it 
is great to have maxima on a hand-held device.

Thank you for all your hard work.
