HELP - Carbon ROM B11 on Nook HD+ freezes upon reboot

Thank you for your sugestion.

Titanium Backup says:

System ROM: 693 MB (389 MB free)

Internal+Media: 13.6 GB (7.88 GB free)

Ext. SD card: 31.9 GB (9.25 GB free)

of the system ROM, I know that after using the Nook HD+ for a while, the free space drops to 75 - 125 MB free. I run the task killer/memory Boost apps, then it recovers memory back to the 330 MB free range.

Is space in /system the same as the System ROM free space? I do not use a backup, so I am not sure how it would be using most of the 1GB, and if it indeed fills up, how does it survive the reboot to cause the boot to fail? I thought the system ROM was like RAM and it gets reset with reboot, but might be wrong.

Most importantly, how do I fix this? How can I get more free System ROM or more space in /system? even after I kill most tasks/mem boost, I still only have arounf 350 MB free. I know some apps reload themselves, but I wolnder what I can do to make more free space.

PS: when I do a reboot, i always kill all the open apps, clear all cache, and even defragment the internal+Media. Yet I still have the same freezing problem.

Again, thank you for the suggestion. Let me know if the Titatnium backup report is helpful or if it gives you a clue to my problem. Any suggestion how to get more space or other ways to fix this is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a suggestion for another very good ROM to try instead of CarbonROM?

I love CarbonROM, but it is a bit slow on the nook HD+ and a bit buggy(?), given the problems I am having.

So maybe I should just try another ROM. But here are the criteria to select a good replacement ROM:

1. It must be 100% compatible with the nook HD+ tablet

2. Stable release (minimum bugs or problems)

3. Light and fast, since the nook HD+ is rather slow in term of its hardware

4. No need for flashy graphics or animation that would take away from performance

5. Good set of modern features, like permission management, rooted, 4.2.2. or 4.3, etc., but need not have all the bells

mostly looking for a reliable/stable and fast ROM that will make the lackluster nook HD+ hardware shine in speed and consistent performance.

PS: I already tried the Android2Nook. Interestingly, I had a similar problem with that ROM. At first it worked well, but within a week or 2, it slowly and more frequently refused to book from the A2N microSD card. Eventually it would not boot from the microSD card at all, and I had to try CarbonRom.

Could it be a hardware problem with my particular nook HD+?

So interesting, then so frustrating. I just want a reliable tablet that I do not have to constantly hack or adjust. A table that once set up,I get to use it, rather than work on it constantly. So your ROM suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Is CarbonRom B9 very stable and fast? Is it still 4.2.2?

I LOVE CarbonROM! It is so thoughtful, efficient, well thought-out, elegant, and everything a polished product should be. I wish all Android phones/tablets came this well equipped.

Thank you for all your efforts and dedication to this project.
