[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddd22:
I have a nook color rooted (1.1) and i am trying to figure out how to go to 1.2. what i dont understand is the distinction/differences between manual nooting to froyo (going back to stock, doing the B&N upgrade, then the manual nooter to reroot) VS using CM7. What are the differences, advantages, disadvantages... would either get me froyo? do i have to go back to stock for either? or is it just two different approaches to the same end. can anyone can point me to a place to read up on this without having to read the entire site would be highly appreciated. thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kindaoldguy:
Try this

I autonooted my NC back in February and avoided the upgrade, renooter process waiting until a new autonooter program came out (which it has not). So about 2 weeks ago I tried verygreen's sd-card mount of CM7 together with Dalingren's OC kernel. It is fantastic! Not at all hard to do either.

The Nook application from the android market is better than the native version, and, of course, I am also running Kindle and about 20 apps.

So while I cannot really answer the specifics of your question, I can encourage your through my own personal experience to try what I did.

Good luck.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
CM7 is gingerbread, or Android 2.3 and is a whole new OS. Your current 1.1 is Eclair (Android 2.1) and the new 1.2 stock is actually Froyo (Android 2.2).

The best way to go to 1.2, if that is your destination, is to go back to stock first, then upgrade to 1.2 via B&N and then do manual nooter. There are instructions on that whole process in the manual nooter link.

If you want to go to CM7, there's no point in even talking about 1.2 - they are completely different animals. You can either use a dual boot, CM7 on an SD card, or flash CM7 directly to the nook. I've never messed with dual boot, but you'll need a bootable SD card for most of the above anyway (look in the CM7 link above or here)

Now - the differences...

CM7 is pretty much wide open. The devs pour a lot of time into it so it has bluetooth, usb hosting and all kinds of other stuff. However, it's a whole different interface and isn't really meant to be a reader (the B&N android market app/reader just don't cut it compared to the stock ones, by most accounts). I like to think of it as CM7 is a cheap tablet that can be a reader and rooted stock as a reader than can double as a tablet. Both have overclocking kernels.

Personally, I prefer rooted stock, which is what's on all 3 of the ones in my family. But to each his own. Hope that helps you...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RpDn:
Yes, I should just read the threads, but...

Anyone wanna comment on...

1) dualbooting (nooted) stock w/CM7 on SD card, vs 2) CM7 flashed to NC...

...and 3) dualbooting CM7 flashed to NC, with (nooted) 'stock' on SD card?

I believe I read you can put stock on the SD card? Can you put (nooted) stock on SD?

Is there much difference/advantage to running CM7 flashed vs on SD card?

(not talking about stock OS availability, just the CM7 installation method/residence.)

How much SD space used by OS? Any hardware diffs/limits besides perhaps speed?

If dualbooting with SD card... such as 32GB ...can you use full capacity for OS, apps, storage? whether CM7 or stock is on SD card.

With stock on the NC... it's neatly official/updatable/resellable, with extra value SD card(s).

With stock on SD, it's a fallback... for a modded added-value 90+% 'tablet'.

Guess I'd lean toward (nooted) stock on NC, with CM7 (etc!) on SD's... unless CM7 flashed to NC would operate USB/bluetooth... so much better...?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yelloguy:
CM7 on SD card will run slower than internal. Depending on your SD card, it may or may not be acceptably slow.

Here is something for the best of both worlds:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156909

Or you can take the easy way and use stock for a few days. Then root it for a few days. And then try CM7 for a few. See which one you like most and keep it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RpDn:
Ah, multi-boot...

Thanks for the multiboot link... now, there's a project. Have to take me NookC down for a bit... set aside time for that! Titanium bkp first. Test a spare SD card setup. Then plunge.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddd22:
cm7 vs stock rooting

Thank you all.i set up cm7 on a16GB SD card and I would never go back. It is a much fuller and richer tablet experience. and bluetooth works though range is so short as to be unusable. starrting to get force close errors so I fixed permissions with root explorer which helped some. Now I have decided to flash cm7 to nook directly. speed has not been a problem but want to overclock... and other posts indicated that doing so will largely eliminate the fc errors.. the addiction begins. Thank you all again for the advice and encouragement. Btw one of the biggest pluses is that with cm7 I could install dsp and the sound from the speaker can now be easily heard. I actually h ave to turn it down sometimes because too loud if u can believe that!
[Nook Color General] gprichardson1:
Hi all,

First the quick question - MN comes preinstalled with Zeam Launcher. In the market there's a newer version. Can I install the market version or will that screw up the one that came preinstalled?

Now onto Flash. I first rooted with MN 4.5.18, which I think came with Flash 10.1. There were many posts warning not to run the market update to 10.3 because it'll cause a boot loop. I then updated to MN 4.5.25. After that I used Titanium backup to remove Flash 10.1, then I installed 10.3 from the Market. All went well.

Well, now there's an update of Flash 10.3 in the Market. Since I had done a fresh install of 10.3 from the market, is it safe to run the update from the Market or should I use Titanium to uninstall then do a fresh install of the latest Flash from the Market?

I just don't wan to get into a boot loop and have to redo everything. :)

Thanks!

Hello,

I just benchmarked the Epic running EF02 (RFS), and it looks like Samsung did a good job with this rom.

Quadrant: 1st Run 1357/2nd Run: 1603 (Close the the Epic running EXT4 on froyo)

Smartbench: 1190 Productivity/2914 Gaming (about the same as epic running EXT4 on froyo)

Linpack: 14-15

Neocore: 55.3 FPS

I wonder if the scores will get a lot better then froyo on EXT 4 if we run EXT4 on GB!!! Or is it because Samsung Optimized the RFS File system a bit more?

Thanks

Now I know that these are not a measure of real word standards, but the numbers are a lot better then Froyo on RFS....

[Epic 4G General] kaoruAngel:
This is encouraging news, even though I will be waiting for the final release. For reference, below are my average scores for the previous releases & ROM's.

Since combined Quadrant scores are kind of fickle and you appear to be using SmartBench 2010 instead of 2011, the most relevant scores would be the Linpack ratings and, nevertheless, the Quadrant scores. Any chance you'll post some SmartBench 2011 or AnTuTu scores?

u should go for the one that offers you with reliability, speed and stability on reasonable prices and coupled with great support.

I don't have the latest, but it should be the same, you get a USB icon at the bottom of your screen (mine is next to Task Killer). I drag the page open and you have the option of selecting 'USB Connected', which brings you to a button allowing you to 'Turn on USB storage'. You should be good from there.

Also concerning reading ebooks, I use FBReader and it asks me where I have my folder storage. I have transferred over all of the epub and pdf's that I want via USB to a folder and point the application there.

Hi,

I have tried to install the official "peep security update" to the official rom (Vodafone 1.41.164.1) and it didn't work. The update showed a "This hot fix is not compatible with your device". I think that the fix works in other official ROMs but not in this one.

This didn't bother me because HTC Peep didn't work but now Peep is working again so I would be grateful if I would install this security update.

Anybody knows how to solve this?

No options yet. Rate online or phone device
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
That's what I thought. Honeycomb is a lot less "complete" than I thought it would be :-/ It's a new branch so hopefully the 3.2 release (if there is one) will fix things up, hopefully ICS won't be as buggy as Eclair and Honeycomb are in their initial releases. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I just really wished Google had released the Source code for Honeycomb so a lot of the bugs could be fixed by now.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
More likely, they just didn't code or enable the feature in the HC market. You can still rate apps installed on HC from your PC browser (and, IIRC, the tablet browser in desktop mode), so they're not preventing ratings from HC users.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
One more time:

MIUI is a closed source ROM by Chinese devs for phones without 4g service (none in China). Several talented Evo devs have tried on this end without success to get 4g working in MIUI. Now there is a very small possibility 4g may make it into the rom, but it would be more by happenstance than by any effort by the Chinese devs. They have absolutely no interest in Sprint, Evo or 4g. Keep in mind there are 800 million cellphones in China, so the Evo MIUI rom is not on their radar.

If 4g is essential to you, then alas, this rom is not for you.
