Notes on Phiremod v5.1

Hey everyone! (esp. Phiredrop)

Just a couple of things that I observed about this ROM. I had my rooted nook and chose to install this ROM (at v4) because I wanted to OC. Chose this over Nookie Froyo (had problems installing) and HC v4 (too many error messages, I'll wait for complete stable version.) A few observations and comments that I think might help:

I went from phiremod v4 without having to erase system and data through CWR. Worked great!

New battery icon at the top is great and the animations from screen to screen are really nice, I love seeing the percentages.

Scrolling left to right on the dashboard has a slight lag, but I can tolerate it. (I'm running a live wallpaper, so it could just be that)

In system>settings>storage, I have 2 things that say internal memory (1 normal, 1 /mnt/emmc). Do I still have all the nook storage available? I have a 16 GB SD card, but that might be important to some.

I ran quadrant and the FPS I got dropped from 39 to 17. I've heard that other ROMs have been rumored to get 40 something. Any reason why? Again, just being picky, I haven't seen a difference in performance (i.e. Angry Birds.)

YouTube runs, albeit video choppy, and like others have said TubeXL doesn't, although it looks like the better YouTube app.

Haven't tried Bluetooth yet, but it's awesome that you got it working! Hopefully extended range soon!

Things I would personally like to see added:

System sounds for being plugged in (and out?) and when it is locked (tried enabling in sounds, didn't work for me)

Simple place to choose wi-fi network-I like the quick ability to turn off and on, is there a quick way to select network other than through system?

I think having a file manager is essential (i.e. Astro or ES) so if it could be added that'd be great. Then again, they could just go to the market... :P

The current Dalingrin 1.1 OC kernel works fine with 5.1, I think you should keep it as the kernel of choice.

Swype- I don't even know if it's possible, but I'd love it on the NC.

Tapatalk or XDA-Simple easy way to find out when you release a new version

Task killer-Open apps eat up so much battery, I just have Advanced Task Manager Widget on the homescreen.

Remove the emergency call sign-Picky, it's just unneeded.

I like the default key bindings, but it's nice to have choice. Thanks for that. :)

Touch screen calibration- I don't know if they haven something like this, but if they did, it think it would help (sometimes it's hard to click the edges.)

A few tips for the newbies:

If you're trying to install phiremod for the 1st time, don't delete the boot partition (via CWR). It will make your install fail. If you already did it, restore your boot partition via the stock ZIP (located somewhere in the forums) and try again.

Make sure and make the changes phiredrop said (in spare parts and Cyanogen) It'll make way smoother.

Don't format SD card on Nook. ALL OVER FORUMS. BAD. :)

If you continue to have problems, just peruse the forums. There's an answer 99% of the time. If you still can't find it, reply here or send me a private message.

I hope I didn't offend anyone with the critique. You guys are doing a great job with the ROM (and kernel). Can't wait to see what the future holds!
