I feel quite the opposite, I think the B&N 2.1 experience is horrible.

B&N 2.1

- Dialogs don't display right due to B&N system configuration

- Keyboards don't work properly and if the keyboard does not have the settings in the UI there is now way to configure it due to B&N config

- No Cut and Paste. The work around are horrible.

- Default B&N Apps are horrible by far the worst apps in every field.

- System settings are non standard and accessing app configurations is very difficult.

- No JIT compiler causes apps to run slower.

- Launchers do not work properly because of missing

- No Text-to-speech.

- Random reboots multiple times a day.

- Games are sluggish, basic games are just fine.

Froyo 2.2 (0.5.8)

+ JIT compiler

+ Can get the nook 4 android app (which I think is better than their stock reader)

+ Cut-n-paste

+ Text-to-speech

+ More Stable( reboots on me twice a week)

+ Default Android back end so configuring keyboard apps and other apps is possible.

+ Launchers behave properly.

+ Access to more Market apps.

+ Game experience is much smoother(thanks to the JIT).

What bugs do you see on the Froyo that you don't see on the Stock nook. If anything I've seen more issues running stock nook than foryo?
[Nook Color General] BugsBunny891:
Froyo has some major flaws that are pretty much a dealbreaker for me.

1. does not recognize internal memory. 5 gb loss....

2. flash may work but choppy as hell making watching anything a bad experience

3. lack of adb. I mean it works every now and then but most of the time it is pissing me off. (possible alternative is wireless adb havent tried it yet.)

4. formatting memory card makes it unusable

5. my favorite keyboard Ultra Keyboard doesnt even size properly making it unusable, and yes i have tried using spare parts to fix it.

6. notification bar isnot sized properly and it takes up the entire screen which is really annoying

that is all i can think of for the moment
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
I wish i knew what people were doing to their Froyo installs to make them as smooth as the stock 2.1. The UI is laggy; hitting the app drawer shows an obvious hiccup in the rendering, where 2.1 and Zeam show no such issue. Everything just has the slightest delay (even on the 1.1Ghz), and going back to 2.1 highlights it.

Frankly, i am waiting to see what CM7 brings, and doubly so with Honeycomb. If Honeycomb comes out as any kind of stable, count me in. The UI is just beautiful, and I will happily take some bugs for it...
[Nook Color General] ColoradoPhoney:
Running 0.6.7 with 1Ghz kernel and I am very happy with it. I found the B&N firmware just too confining. I hate a dumbed-down interface no matter how slick it may look.

Occasional key lag is my only annoyance. Have only *just* started kicking the tires on it (0.6.6 was my first Froyo rom, and it had the SD card issue).

I haven't looked yet, but I think It would be nice to be able to run the B&N rom from an SD card for those occasional times I am at B&N and would like to use in-store features...don't think I want to bother dealing with multi-booting.
[Nook Color General] 10equals2:
Same here! Honeycomb seems like it has a MUCH better tablet interface than 2.1 or 2.2. I LOVE the app switcher button thingy. and the email app is far better than any I can currently use.

As soon as there are Honeycomb ROMs available, that is where I am going.

Well, only if there is some way for me to include the default B&N apps.

I also have rooted, OC'd 1.1Ghz 1.1

I just wish that there was an undervolted 1.1Ghz kernel that worked. Or (I freely admit that I don't know anything about this, so it's probably not even possible.) perhaps one that the voltage scaled with the clock speed, such that 300 - 800Mhz is Undervolted and everything above that is overvolted to remain stable at the higher speeds. Shrug.
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
I will say that I am completely happy with rooted stock. Doesn't have Flash of course, but I can live with that. If/When Honeycomb gets ironed out to where it's a daily driver I will move to it. Until then, I see no reason to abandon what I've got. The only reason I can think of to go to Froyo at this point is Flash. That's about it. I can't think of any other reason.
[Nook Color General] vapor63:
Edit number 2 is done; tried to keep it relatively impartial and keep the +'s and -'s towards the neutral side (i.e. cons such as "1.1 sucks" and "Froyo blows" aren't exactly helpful). Since evernote is how I keep my scattered, ADHD thoughts in order, it's a dealbreaker, but otherwise I like em both, and I think the community split is evidence that both have merits.
[Nook Color General] fatnemesis:
I'd also add that you can enlarge the screen in Froyo (lcddencity=250 in build.props) without breaking it up; doing the same on B&N firmware breaks some widgets and most B&N apps like Sudoku or Chess.
[Nook Color General] jerichoholic:
when you say no flash do you mean like no flash on the engadget website or no flash as in "you cant access youtube from your nook"
[Nook Color General] miemens:
I'm still using rooted 1.0.1 myself. I had an issue with 1.1.0 where DolphinHD seems to adopt the default browser's pinch-zoom/page-scaling behavior. The zoom seems slower and less precise as well autoformatting pages oddly and slowly (most notable for me on reddit where I spend the majority of my browsing time). It also registers long clicks if I hit a link mid-zoom. I use my NC primarily as a small web browsing tablet when not eReading and those two annoyances are a deal breaker for me.

That being said, it's generally stable and aside from a handful of issues/quirks, I'm pretty happy with it.
[Nook Color General] jhuff83:
I think I'm in the same boat as you. I flashed CWR and have not even used it. I bricked my first nook and rooted this one on the stock B&N software. It is working like this so far. I will wait until something extremely stable comes out.
[Nook Color General] Uberspork:
Ditto for me.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
And just what in the heck do you need Text-to-Speech for when you don't have a microphone? :eek: :confused:

And how is the Nook for Android app better than the 2.1 B&N app when as Pinesal stated earlier, you lose the ability to view children's picture books, newspapers and magazines? :confused:
[Nook Color General] milkeater:
When you say B&N Experience you are talking about the stock B&N loader right?
[Nook Color General] =X=:
Yep I'm goingbto have to agree, you are confused ;)

I said text to speech, not speech to text. The former reads text and synthesis over the speaker or Jack. The latter requires a microphone and turns your speech to text. I read on my nook and use the TTS feature and the moon+ reader to continue reading on my commute. There are also translation apps that help on pronunciation of foreign languages.

I don't read kids books and I don't read b&n magazine, nor their periodical s. If I was so inclined to do so, I would buy the kindle magazine and periodicals they are cheaper and designed for ereaders. As of today I use calibre and download periodical from their web pages and its free.

So looking only at reading ePUB the noon for android gives its readers more options than the stock nook. That said I prefer the Moon reader over the nook any day.
[Nook Color General] =X=:
To the OP, Evernote released an updated yesterday that seems to fix the issues it had with nookie (2.2). I have it installed everything works.

I've seen many people hype up Evernote, but I just don't get it. What does it provide, the ability to tag photos with notes? I know it was suppose to OCR the docs but that never worked for me.

=X=
[Nook Color General] miemens:
Evernote allows syncing of documents to a cloud letting you access them from nearly any device. I personally use it for jotting down ideas for creative writing that I get while reading or web browsing or listening to music. Later when I'm home, I pull them up on my PC and flesh them out. There are a ton of applications for that ability and it along with Dropbox are my two favorite and essential cloud based services.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Ah, my mistake.

Listening to a book on a commute; fascinating idea. Never thought about that.

So what in FroYo provides Text-to-speech? Is it the Moon+ application? Because the market page lists it as working on any 2.0.1+ device and the stock Nook Color image is 2.1.
[Nook Color General] =X=:
It looks like my last post didn't get posted I'll try to remember what I said.

The setup is real easy you can get a battery operated FM transmenitter for $10 and see if you like it, that what I did. Once I decided it worked for me I bought a cigratette powered transmitter that also provided power via USB. The nice thing about the FM transmitter is they also work well as a handsfree setup.

If I recall correctly as of Android 2.1+ the Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech to Text(STT) engine is part of the OS. So a third party developer doesn't have to develop the TTS engine but just use the API to include this functionality in their product.

Because Nook removed the libraries from the stock nook Moon+ TTS did not work. Why B&N did not include TTS with their reader is beyond me. Their biggest compeditor Amazon(the Kindle) includes this as part of their product and is a selling point as well.
[Nook Color General] interfac9:
On the flash issue. I have flash on my rooted 1.1.0 NookColor. Its out there. I will try to post where I got it.
[Nook Color General] vapor63:
Alright, TTS added. I'll cross out some of the other stuff once we have links to where those problems can be solved (i.e. no flash in 1.1.0). Also noting that Evernote is resolved.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
You have woprking flash on 2.1? Will flash video play on websites?

Do share!!!!!
[Nook Color General] BugsBunny891:
yea dude nookie froyo 6.7 actually plays flash pretty well now. although there is an issue with the video not covering the whole screen, i can confirm that there is no longer any lag.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
By the way, has anyone thought to use SkyFire for flash on 2.1?
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
You said on 1.1 which I'd eclair not Nookie.
[Nook Color General] miemens:
Yep, I use it sometimes to play flash video and it does a decent job, but no seek controls is annoying.
[Nook Color General] djxcee:
2.2 is stable though not really meant to be used on a tablet. Going to stick with stock root until a stable release of honeycomb comes out :cool:
[Nook Color General] Littlefield:
Just out of curiosity, what do you find about stock root really meant for a tablet? I've only used stock root but I can't see it doing much different from Froyo in terms of usability.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
I have tried every SD card and emmc (internal) version to date -- stock, eclair, froyo, honeycomb -- and here is where I ended up:

- I have 1.1 (Eclair) rooted @ 1.1Ghz on the internal memory, and I use this as my daily driver -- it's definitely the most stable build, and I need it to "just work" most of the time.

- I have a dedicated "storage SD card" (Class 4 8GB type) that I use with the internal rooted 1.1 for general storage: apk's/eBooks/wallpapers/downloads/backups/ROMs/Kernels, etc.

- I have a dedicated "bootable SD card w/Honeycomb" (Class 10 8GB type) that I use whenever I want to mess with HC, or just to show HC to a friend. I simply flash a new image to this card with each new HC release, or each new fix/workaround -- currently HCv4 @ 1.1Ghz.

This gives me the best of both worlds, and switching between the builds is easy as hell.

I really don't understand why more of you aren't doing exactly this...
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
Despite being an avid froyo person im back on eclair. I found slacker radio only works on eclair and only 1.0.1 at that. Also like to point out I have flash working
[Nook Color General] miemens:
Guys with working 2.1 Flash, please please please share with the rest of us.

+1!!!

From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
stock all the way

Aside from HoneyNook i use the stock rom all the way, tried froyo once. Unless theres a port for the barnes and noble status bar i find froyo semi un-usable not a big fan of how soft keys works it seems intrusive i prefer the status bar from b&n for navigation. HoneyNook also works because it has no reliance on physical buttons. V4 is relatively stable overclocked. I'm just missing flash on both builds.

Sent from my Nook Color on HoneyNook v4
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
search google for

flash_for_21.apk

put it on an sd card and install it through app manager (im not sure if adb install works so just do it this way).

You'll now have flash, however, any flash site requiring 8.0 or higher (might be 9.0 or higher, not sure) will not work. Sites that work with 7.0 (possibly 8.0 too) will run flash. This isn't many but technically it is flash
[Nook Color General] nebke:
2.1 Rooted is better than Froyo right now. As mentioned above, without the designated bar at the bottom like stock, Froyo and softkeys is a pain. Also, I always get double taps and weird touch sensor problems with 2.2. Looking forward to CM7 or HC stable.
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
I think that is to be determined. I am not convinced that Honeycomb in general, and apps that take advantage of the Honeycomb SDK extension, in particular, are going to run well on the NC. I suspect some apps will need a XOOM (the reference platform) or better to run well.
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
While i get what you're saying i'm not sure that any of us with the $250 NookColor are expecting it to match the $800 Xoom. Due to the lack of need for physical buttons as long as flash works on HoneyComb, it would be Froyo perfected for the Nook, no need for B&N's status bar, I almost wonder if google got the no buttons idea from B&N. Right now V4 of HoneyNook is pretty good i can't imagine what it'll be like once the full code is released i'm willing to wager it'll be the highest variant on NC's out there!
[Nook Color General] nicko1968:
I tried installing froyo to the SD card and it was horrendously slow. My card is only class 4.

If I try to install to internal memory, what ARE the risks of breaking the NC? Does the 8 reboot trick still work?
[Nook Color General] cheezer38:
I don't think there is that much risks. I have not heard anyone not able to recover from a install to internal memory. It might take some time to fix, but people are able to recover.

I prefer to get a fast SD card. I use a class 10. There are some Wifi issues that you should be aware with Froyo. There are no perfect built yet. I gotten used to softkey. I heard button savior is better for some. Just because I want flash. I am using Froyo now.

Don't use it with a class 4 sd. It is not worth it. It is just too slow and buggy.

I remember a while back when i was a Hero user running HTC stock ROM my 8 GB card crashed just like that. So, it is not a problem with custom ROMs...do not know what it could be but would be nice knowing it!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Yeah,it isn't a rom issue.Different people were using different roms when it happened.Unless it's HTC related! ;)

Well,maybe a low level format is needed as someone(whose name is unfortunately escaping me right now)suggested in LeeDroid's thread.But copying 15Gb of data can be a pain! :(

HTC Desire Z Pictures keep dissapering from Gallery

Hai,

Having the same problem with my HTC Desire Z. New pictures seem to disappear in the Galley. Good news, they aren't deleted, they're still on the SD. Connect to your computer and you can see/back up them.

I've installed a file explorer (ASTRO in my case). That made the pictures turn up in the gallery again. I guess the file explorer indexes the SD again?

For now... the pictures are back in my Gallery. It seams to be a bug in Gallery.

Hope they come with a fix soon.

Good luck,

Dee

I've never had this happen to me, but I have had an sd card fail on me ( an expensive patriot one). I would immediately backup your card and keep it backed up as if it's a warning sign that the card is on its way out you don't want to lose all your data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sulaymashru:
i have kind of similar issue, when i switch off my cell and then switch it on my cell generates a big thumb data of all remaining memory of my sd card and makes my sd card memory zero as well as generates lots of thumbnails.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukelzzo:
I had this same issue a while ago, and re-flashing the rom I was using seemed to fix the problem (of course, this could be because I formatted my dalvik, as another user mentioned above!)

Have you tried to transfer the photos to your computer from your sd card to make sure that they're still good files?

As for the dalvik, boot into recovery and you'll be able to wipe it from there.

Looks great, already downloading! Improvements sound very promising, too. Good possibility that this is a longtime ROM for me :D

Just a little suggestion: Perhaps you can mirror your theme somewhere else because free users cannot download two files simultaneosly from Hotfile and I think there's also a download limit after the first file. I'd suggest megaupload or mediafire :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Well I could only mirror the ROM itself if you want me to. I cannot download the theme right now because of the mentioned download limit at Hotfile ;) I'll post a mirror for the ROM then and you'll include it to the first post, alright.
