[Nook Color Android Development] steven676:
The NookieDevs are pleased to announce the CyanogenMod 10.2.1 stable release for the Nook Color!

As the "stable" label suggests, all major features of the hardware work and the release should be suitable for day-to-day use on your Nook Color. As the "stable" label also suggests, updates (if any) will be primarily to fix bugs -- new features and big changes should not be expected.

Highlights

: (not news if you've been keeping up with CM10.2 nightlies)

Linux kernel 3.0.8, plus hardware support from TI OmapZoom's android-omap3-3.0 branch and board support forward-ported from BN kernel releases. (Yes, we went backwards from the last 10.2 nightlies to avoid some rare crashes suspected to be related to the USB/charger port driver.)

All of the features of CyanogenMod 10.2, based on Android 4.3. All of the changes and bugfixes up to our last CM10.2 nightly (20140119) are included in this stable release.

Full 2D and 3D graphics acceleration using the GPU, with improved performance over previous releases.

Known issues

:

Current releases of Netflix do not work with CM10.2 -- version 1.8.1 is the last version known to work. If you want/need a newer release of Netflix, look into the Xposed mod, which provides a workaround for Netflix -- pastordl has done a nice writeup of the process here.

This release represents the end of active development on CM10.2 -- future efforts will focus on ROMs based on Android 4.4 and later. Critical bugfixes (for security holes, device-bricking bugs, eat-my-data bugs and the like) may be distributed as point releases (CM10.2.1.x); other important bugfixes (if any) will be distributed as patches on top of the 10.2.1 release.
