Cyanogen Mod is one of the most popular android roms/mods. They have versions for a variety of devices. The most current version I believe is 6.1 but CM7 is currently being tested on some devices. Supposedly CM7 will be released for Nook Color as well though we haven't received any beta information as far as I know.
CM6 uses Froyo and CM7 uses Gingerbread which is why it is really exciting.
Its my understanding that the only thing holding CM7 from the nook is the lack of the source code for the latest update. As soon as version devs have that in hand, we should see a nook color version.
thanks you two, that clears it up quite a bit!

i just looked at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4NqT6u_ODk and started looking at honeycomb. When i first looked at the froyo video the the gingerbread video i noticed how fast our devs started working on the project i was just curious if this is already being worked on or if its even been seen thanks for any replys
AFAIK, the source hasn't been released yet. Supposed to be today.
Honeycomb is for tablets only. I don't think it will work on any phone.

from what ive heard it will be for phones as well
It's supposed to have some smartphone support...

Dude before we start hoping and dreaming for a honeycomb update to our phone why not lets see the gingerbread one get at least one stable release. Plus like others have said honeycomb is for tablets, for now.
From what i know, google is going to release android 3.0 as honeycomb for tablets and then later on work in and refine the smartphone side and release android 3.2 as honeycomb for smartphones.
Also, before we continue to build android updates for our hero we need a newer and more stable kernel.
S0be has been working on 2.6.35 and he's done a lot of good work, i'm pretty sure deca has also contributed to that as well and deca also maintains a 2.6.29.5 kernel.
S0be kernel
once that kernel is done then the likely hood of having honeycomb running on the hero is good.
By then there will be no devs left

Notice: Don't take this as gospel truth, I'm not a rom modder, just a kernel hacker
The hard part in getting up and running on a new Android release has very little to do with the kernel. For the most part, the Kernelspace/Userspace APIs have stayed the same. Where the problems lie are in the Kernelspace Helper Libraries and their connection with userspace. We do not have the source code for all these libraries, which is why it's not just *POOF* it works every time a new android release comes out. My 2.6.35 kernel just means that any direct kernel dependence new android adds will be provided, but it does NOT solve these intermediary layers. There is, in fact, the possibility that a new android release won't be compatible with our libraries, and we'll be proper focked.
Has anyone succesfully gotten flash to work with honeycomb?
From what I understand it works with froyo. so why not HC?
WOW, did you even try to read before asking ?
Simple search might have lead you here.
Google search may have lead you here.
As well as some results on other Android related forums. No one's gotten Flash 10.1 to work on Eclair 2.1 on the Nook - and since the HC Preview is based on a modified stock 2.1 kernel as mentioned in the first link it won't work.
Now others have gotten flash 10.1 to work on Eclair on other devices. So maybe it's possible. But we're all basically waiting for Flash 10.2 and/or the HC AOSP.
If you need Flash you have to go with one of the FroYo or Gingerbread options.
10.1 is usless. Waiting 10.2.
I flashed HC onto the Nook Color, from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936995, and it seems to run very slowly, sometimes not registering my touches too well. Is it that way normally or should I flash back to Nookie Froyo? If so, how?
Thanks
Because the source of the rom is a modified SDK image, there were many work arounds that had to be made to the compiled code. As such, the rom can be very shaky, and really isn't suited to be a daily use ROM.
THis image is not representative of Honeycomb; once we get the source code, devs should be able to make a much more stable version and really make an amazing ROM.
Yeah that is normal. Honeycomb at this point is basically a demo. The only fully working non-stock ROM is Froyo.

How would I go about getting Froyo instead of HC?
Hello everyone,
I was just curious how all these gingerbread ROMs for the Captivate are being released, and Cyanogen 2.3 for the Capitivate, having been worked on for months, is still only in pre-beta. I am not trying to be impatient, I know the devs are working hard to get cyanogen out ASAP, I was just curious why this was.
Thank you.

simply put CM7 is being written and developed from "scratch" and the jvb jvh roms are ported.
Not to mention that the CM7 for captivate is running 2.3.4 so technically "we're" behind CM7

Not for long Most of the Devs are already working on JVH
AOSP is the way to go in the long run as more Samsung drivers get ported over. 2.4.x will probably never be ported to the Galaxy S phones by Samsung, but unless there are major kernel changes, upgrading CyanogenMod to 2.4 will happen relatively quickly.

I see, so once it is caught up with the other cyanogen supported phones, it will be on the same update cycle, and therefore be more sustainable when it comes to new releases of android?
Frankly cm7 is actually being developed, where as the other ginger bread releases are being cooked/tweaked. Samsung did 80% of the work then xcal kicked in the next 15%.
So to answer your question, the reason it is "behind" is because they are not using a pre optimized build, and they are developing from the ground up.

hi i need a advice what is better Phiremod or CM7 thanks for you help.
Links Pros & Cons anyone helpme to decide.
I'd go with the CM7 nightlies considering as far as I'm aware, it's far advanced than Phiremod which is running basically outdated CM7.
I could be wrong, sorry to any Phiremod users.
I concur with Marino. While Phiremod is a wonderful THEMED CM7 - the latest nightlies combined with Dal's Latest Kernel and his Nook Color Tweaks app (on the market) bring a whole lot more to the table than the current version Phiremod.
i dont know what is the diferencies between nightly vs stable version of CM7 i dont undertood?

Nightly = unstable, but includes the latest and greatest improvements and fixes (and sometimes a new bug or two - but is is unstable after all)
Stable = Tested, tried, and true and mostly bug free
Although there can be bugs with nightlies, honestly, I've had few bugs if any.

It's like asking "Need help...Can't decide between a new Corvette, or a stolen Corvette from last year with some paint slapped on it.By the way, they're both free...".Shouldn't be too hard to decide....Phiremod IMO is the iPhone of Nook Roms.......Not a devs ROM, and most definitely outgunned by CM7 Nightlies...
