Alright guys. I'm about to buy a Nook Color, but I want to be able to flash something that's not stock onto it (aka, nookie froyo or similar). My question is what's the most stable rom out there for the nook color that has everything working (FM Radio/bluetooth is not a big deal). I see Cyanogen's nightlys are coming along nicely, but I fear the nightly's lack features and I can't find a simple change log or list of functional/not functional. I don't care if it crashes once and a while, as long as the hardware works. I've been looking at either nookie froyo or cyanogenmod nightlies. Whaddya think?
I vote for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200
1. Video works (unlike CM7 or HC)
2. Flash works (unlike stock)
3. Use the v.0.0.5 softkeys theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944278
And its perfectly usable!
Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 w/ the 1.1 GHz kernel is my daily driver now.

I think this is what i'm going with when my nook color arrives.
is it as easy as the instructions sound? burn the image to sd card boot into it and install? no need to root first?
Does the accelerometer work on nook froyo. I tried it on the SD card and it was not functional a while back.

No, its more than cosmetic. It puts a back button and a menu button on your status bar, like Honeycomb has. It really helps a lot considering the NC lacks those buttons.

If you use the eMMC version, yes.
So the idea is to install froyo in the first link (burning SD card with CWR, Etc...) then apply softkey theme? Using the same CWR i suppose?
"If you use the eMMC version" is the one on your first link?
Q: Do you have access to the NC internal memory as storage for video and music with froyo?

No. Install Froyo, boot into it then use its Rom Manager to install the theme. Don't use the SD for the theme.

Yep.

If you have a decent speed SD card, try a ROM bootable from SD card such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324 and see if you like it. Do not bother class 2 or class 4 cards - they are not fast enough in my experience which results in a lot of bugs such as wifi not working, random FC, etc.
I am personally very happy with CM7, but I am not watching videos on Nook.
about cm7, you can watch video using vitalplayer or vplayer no? just using the cpu horsepower?
grmph, all was working. Turn off the nook and now stuck on "touch the futur of reading screen".
boot on the recovery sd works, so if someone has an idea..

Wow. Thanks guys. I plan on picking one of these buggers up today, since I just got my paycheck and also have some b-day money to spend . Can't wait for Honeycomb to go open source so that it can be ported over without a bunch of ugly hacks and work-arounds.

Can you format the SD (for storage of music, etc) with the Nook after Nookie Froyo eMMc installed?

To solve try this- next time it happens turn off then when rebooting hold down power, n button and volume up- that should bring you to CWM- reboot from there- let me know if that works
Hi,
I bought a Galaxy Tab second Hand from CEX. In general it's fine but I have an issue installing some apk's from the internal storage. Skies of Glory for example starts to install then fails with the legend 'Application not Installed' It works on my HTC desire. Same with a fair few other apps and games. I tried unmounting the SD but still no joy.
Also, the device is rooted and has a MoDaCo rom installed - does anyone know where I can get a stock European Rom so I can start over. or any suggestions as to a good custom Rom.
Thanks in advance

Overcome is popular. Am using version 1.2.1 with kernel v1. Everything is working great.
I find .apks don install when there is a conflict. Poossibly an older version of the prog or game is there. Or just this version of the app/game doesnt like the tab. I usually try to remove the conflict or just try a diff apk.

Nightly builds for the Thrill (P925) has stopped, P920 builds will work on Thrill P925.
Builds can be found here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p920
Changelog can be found here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p920
There should be NO problems at all to upgrade from the latest SelfKang to the lastest Nightly Build.
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Create a nandroid backup in CWM.
* Install the latest Nightly.
* Reboot.
If you're currently using a stock rom or a custom rom that is not based on CM then you must make a factory reset/format data in CWM after installing the latest nightly.
Else you'll get stuck in a bootloop.
NOTICE:
* Please note that this rom will replace your old one if you have a stock rom (Froyo or Gingerbread).
Everything on your current rom will be useless, so backup everything!
If you're currently using Froyo, then you need to flash the latest Baseband;
Use the "LG Updater tool" to update to the latest Stock version so you'll get the latest Baseband, re-root your phone and download Rom Manager from the market.
Install CWM, do a Nandroid backup and install the latest nightly build of CM7.
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T USE CM:
If you're using the 3D functions of your phone as well as the HDMI then you shouldn't change to CM at the moment.
3D and HDMI is broken.
And yes, these releases are newer than the SelfKang4.
This is Not my mod and try asking in this thread before posting me a PM, you'll get a faster reply here.
I've never understood Nightly builds.
What's most of the difference you'll see?

I think 3D and HDMI aren't working. Radio, GPS, and wifi were all working before the nightly. I can confirm that wifi is working great. I haven't used GPS so not sure how well it works or not.
It is running 2.3.7 . No you don't need to do anything with the baseband.
The only complaint I have is that the person i call using this rom hears a really bad echo

Also should cell standby be taking 72% of battery? Been barely using for hr and a half and already down to 70% seems to drain faster on standby than when I'm on it.

How about make it mount internal and external SD card?
Is there a way to get headset recognition as well? I pressed mine a couple time while playing music, wouldn't pause or skip tracks like normal CM7 would. I've had atleast 2 reboots now but everything else seems great
Alright, time to start building some nightlies.........Ill be on my own in a few weeks....
Yup, but we need something other than this trashy 'CyanogenMod'.
I personally hate CM in general, it's not n00b friendly and it just looks plain dumb.
But if anyone could rocket a GB ROM without having to install a GB break, then count me in.
I hope to see a Froyo ROM soon.
Love you guys but the Thrill is trash and the mods here suck.

Eh, I agree to a certain extent. However, I wouldn't count noobs as those rooting, flashing ROMs, etc etc. So if they can't be bothered to google some CM info, welll, then...
As far as dumb, most of the time, our phones look dumb out of the box. The CM ROM is just as customizable as any other ROM. I got rid of the skateboard alien ASAP. What is kinda cool is the theme chooser so that you make a bunch of the stuff like battery stat, various widgets, dialer, etc all look different in one click.
I think most of us are just kinda waiting until the new cool phones come out in 2012 and move on.
are there any kernels for this with OC? im coming from foryo and my benchmark would hit up to 3300. now i cant even reach 3k.
uhhhh I flash this rom... and when tried to go back on stock froyo. It stays stuck on LG logo... I did a backup .... flash other roms before and was able to return to stock rooted. It only works with this rom and two others roms" thriller and doomded ... what did I do wrong? I miss my 3D functions ;(

I think a lot of people are having the issue with the call echo. Seems to be a problem with the ambient/noise cancellation microphone. Not a big deal if you turn down the call volume.
I am having other issues with the first nightly; can't select items in the notification bar, misaligned keyboard, etc. so will be sticking with SK4 for the time being. That being said, however; it is nice that the Thrill is getting a little love. I'll still be checking the dailies and looking out for a stable build.

Not a kernel, but you can use the same script like before, Check Tekahuna's post, you can get the files for CM there aswell.

If you want to go back to froyo, use the LG updater tool to go back to stock, there is a few threads that describes how. After that, you can just root your device and go back to the old backup.
thank you very much.... I will do just that

Had the weirdest bug ever on the 2nd nightly last night. I was at the mall playing cards when my phone suddenly made this alarm-esque noise. No matter what I did, i couldn't get it to stop. I had to restart my phone which finally put an end to it. Hopefully i don't experience that again lol.
Nightly 2 still has the echo thing going on. I'll try the new ones as they come out.
I have a question : Before on froyo, my SD had a partition that i could put various things into. After flashing CM7, this partition seems to be invisible from my phone (root explorer). For some reason, my computer at home cannot access this partition, but my computer at work can. I have filled my internal sd card from restoring apps. How can I access this partition, or repartition so the internal SD has more space?
Any help with this would be appreciated.

I completely know what you mean by SD card.
If you goto CM7 settings> Application, there should be an option named "Use internal storage". If you check that box and reboot, it just flip flops the SD cards. You can access the other, but can't the other. Kinda annoying, wish I had a 32GB MicroSD right about now
i tried going back to froyo from this and it was stuck on LG too. i had many backups. i was able to go back to froyo by flashing doomed again. idk what it is about that one but it took it back to froyo just fine. and from there you can flash ur recovery and ull b fine
I had the crazy-alarm-type bug happen again just now. I believe it was caused by a notification sound that is supposed to play, but instead, starts clipping at an alarming rate at full volume. I tried just about everything you can think of to stop this cacophonous noise, but had to ultimately shut down the phone.
As far as the "SD thing", I did find out that the other portion of the card is actually listed under "mnt" and then "emmc" for anyone that was wondering. I can access this from the phone as well.
So far the nightly builds are great, thanks for the hard work!

Hi All,
Model: GT-7310
ROM: [JB-mr1/4.2.2] AOKP (latest March 5 build)
This is a nice ROM for the GT-7310. So far, everything works well, except the SD card reader (Model #: EPL-1PREBEGXAR) is not recognized. The SD card reader worked under stock ICS with no problems.
Is anyone else using this ROM (or CM10.1) having a similar issue? Is there way to get it working? Thanks in advance for any advice.
-froo-
It's most likely an issue with the rom and there isn't a current fix. Cm10.1 is a work in process and all the bugs are not out of it. They may never be for you to use your external sd card, but you can try newer versions as that come out and maybe you'll get lucky.
What was best before sliced bread?

In the greater scheme, it's a minor strike against a really good JB ROM for this Tab. Hopefully though, a fix can be found and incorporated into future builds.
