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:

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.

Using nookie froyo completly replace the original stock rom? if i had Market issue using stock 1.1 autonootered it save my searching time..

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.

Thank you!
Froyo burned, let's go!
ps: about the theme, this can be uninstalled if i don't like?

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..

Yep, you can use CPU decoding.
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
I don't see it.and the leaked version has sound issues.I want to be able to put these dual cores to work!

Not coming up in the market for me with either device I have but the leaked version works great for me, no sound issues what so ever.
I don't see in on the gTab running VEGAn beta 5.1.1 or on my Droid X.
my Flash 10.2 leak works wonderfully. no issues with sound.
Didn't come up on mine either running tnt lite 4.2.4. But done a search in the market for "flash" and it popped right up. Hopefully this helps…?
Updated from the market without a hitch with vegan 5.1.1
flash 10.2
I'm running Vegan5.1.1 and had no trouble updating from the market.
Sorry didn't mean to post twice

Confirmed. Just updated flash 10.2 via market with VeganV1B511.
Got mine last night on gingerbread aosp.
Anyone have the latest Flash releasing today?
Other than the old leak, i still haven't seen it anywhere offically....
It's in the market. I dont know how much of a difference it makes since I didn't test it much.
Videos are def more stable now , when there in full screen there even better
what roms/versions are able to get flash from the market?
I'm able to get it from the Market on Nookie Froyo. The prior Market version did not work and I had to revert to the downloaded Flash101.apk. Thankfully 10.2 does work perfectly well so far =) I can't see any obvious improvements though.
doesnt work wid hc v4 2nd edition
On CM7, not only was it the featured app in the Market advertising space, it was also waiting to be installed as an update to 10.1
Cm7 flash 10.2 =
Spoke too soon. For some reason Flash 10.2 stopped working on my Nookie Froyo, but rolling back to the Flash101.apk worked.
Had Flash 10.2 working on Phiremod 5 (CM7). Worked fine for both flash video (given video slowness) and for flash games. Upgraded to day to Phiremod 5.1 and now can't get either Flash 10.1 or 10.2 to work in Browser. YouTube app working very well, tho.
Installed flash 10.2 last night on my froyo 0.68 emmc install from market (it wouldnt do thst for me last week). My stock browser and dolphin browser now successfully play flash and embedded movies.
I am most pleased.

Remember that the only stable installation of NC is the rooted stock B&N which is 2.1 and thereby does not support Flash at all.
SO, only unstable beta builds that change daily, support Flash.
The fact that some of the posters have it working is actually looking good to me.
Nookie Froyo is pretty stable already. The base build is not being tweaked much anymore. It's Gingerbread and Honeycomb that are still a big work in progress.

I can't even see Flash 10.2 in the Marketplace and I'm running Nookie Froyo. It's interesting to see that some are able to make it work.
EDIT: After reading through other posts, I decided to access the Marketplace through Dolphin. I can see it--but when I try to download it, I get the error message
"There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account."
I don't have an Android phone. Any thoughts.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Got it to installed just fine! I am able to chat with no problem but when I try to do video the screen goes black for a sec then comes back to the contacts list. Has anyone been able to get this work?
You have to have GB 2.3.4 in order to have the Video available in Google Talk. there are couple of thread which shows you how to do it manually.

Gingerbread version 2.3.4. Most gingerbread ROMs are only at version 2.3.3, which won't work with the new talk. Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread v1.02 appears to be the only ROM that currently has GB 2.3.4, but I'm sure the other GB ROMs will be updated to 2.3.4 soon.
Check market for Vtok. Does same and it works.
What about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062980
It works on 2.3.3 but no one had tested it on the gtab yet. The latest CM7 stable is 2.3.3 but I went and updated to the 2.3.4 nightly because the g talk video app worked on my phone. I have the same CM7 set up on my gtab but no dice. Video chat is all I need to make this tab perfect since my phone doesn't have a front facing camera.

Hey y'all
Newer pictures and videos only show up after running media scanner. Then, after a reboot, said pictures/videos are gone again. Any thoughts?

Maybe your card or card reader are bad? I don't have the issue. Also, on the off chance it is the ROM, grab the new one aosp just dropped one yesterday, check his twitter.
Yup. Full wipe. Should work out the issues for you. Also Id recommend backing up all your data then formating your sd threw your pc. But the full wipe should work.

I will flash the newest. Thanks!
First time poster, long time reader. You guys are awesome -- taught me everything I know about about root/hack. Thanks again
2.3.4 on a Hero? Yup
Flashed the 0523 aosp, same issue. No biggie I guess as its new phone time 8/1 (non-htc!--maybe Samsung Within??? )

There is a batt mod, find it in the thread. Also, it is worth it to try what laie said about format your sd. Good luck.

Also for any future issues like this, try running a permissions fix from the rom manager app. That seems to be a fix-all fir bugs like that
