So I know froyo is currently the only OS that works on the Nook Color and supports flash. However my question is, which version does it work better on, 0.6.7 or 0.5.6?
Quadrant scores are lower in 0.6.7 but I believe thats do a change in codecs, but that linpack scores are roughly even. So from your experience:
Which version of froyo has better compatibility with flash driven websites?
Which version of froyo runs flash faster/better (i.e. on the same website) ?
This is not about which version of froyo is better, but purely which one is better SPECIFICALLY at flash.

Hello all,
I currently have a captivate, rooted, with lagfix, and the 1.2ghz OC kernel installed. I'm the 3rd device listed under the Linpack scores by device (capoirrier) however when looking at the scores today i noticed a device pulling about 5 mflops higher on the 1ghz kernel. Just curious as to if anybody knew of a new custom rom that could produce those scores at 1ghz? Just always interested in tweaking every little bit of performance out of my device in any way possible. Anyway, if anybody could shed some light on what it could be I would be very appreciative.
Could be s galaxy s with gimped froyo on it.
Stats to the right tho shows device with 2.1 on it
Howdy. I have an android phone that is debloated and runs like a top. Use CWM regularly etc.
Intrigued by nookcolor, bought one. Using nook w rooted stock eclair Rom with preference to ADW launcher. It is pretty cool and overall does the job. But overall wish it was snappier. Not to mention miss the standard notification banner at top of screen etc
Before I blow away and see for myself, wondering how much performance I could gain if I were to blow away stock launcher/ROM and run a native (nook adapted) eclair or froyo ROM.
I tried the froyo build that runs from SD, granted a type 4 SD card, but it was very slow. Presumably running off internal storage would be better.
My only hesitation is that this is a shared device. If I go to a native ROM I will need to use nook apk instead of standard oem nook UI...just not as sexy.
if the speed improvement is substantial enough I will take the plunge. But having hard time w decision. advice?
Many thanks
Go for it, i love this thing it flys on hc with the 1.1 ghz kernal.

Have you looked into overclocking? General results are it seems "snappier".
The best thing about the nook to me is if I don't like the way one OS runs, it is so easy to return to stock. So I have tried them all. Really. Ended up on Honeycomb v4 on eMMc and don't think I'm going back. Least problems for me, so far. I like the nook app better than the native.
My wife's is running Autonootered 1.0.1 and she likes it better, since her's is primarily a reader with the occasional movie and angry birds game.
I don't read much so the tablet is better for me.
I guess my advice is RESEARCH x 3 and make your decisions based on what you primarily will use the device for.
I've been running 1.1ghz OCed nookie Froyo 6.7 for several weeks now. Getting quadrant scores of around 1800, which is about 600 more than I got with the stock rooted eclair rom. One sticking point, there is a touch input lag with going from screen to screen, but as far as I know it's a driver issue that will hopefuly be corrected. Other than that, every app/game I use runs better/faster on Froyo. Even Flash is working beautifully. You mentioned using the bootable Froyo SD card (I used a class 4 card aswell), and I can confim it's FAR slower than booting it off of the eMMC.
Good luck, hope you make the leap into Froyo.

Was getting slower quadrant with .6.7 then with .5.9
1200 vs. 1800
Now that we have a couple rom choices...I thought I would start a thread about raw speed.
I'M running the 0.6.8 1100 rom
with the update
Emmc
Quadrant scores...1567, 1792, 1963, 1983
I never thought we would see 1900's from this device.
This sucker flies.....I'm loving my NC again

Quadrant score doesn't mean much. Compare real world usage and you'll see that stock rooted performs much better than 0.6.8 at this time. It's especially evident when scrolling through rich websites which will stutter badly on 0.6.8. The same sites are smooth on stock. Eventually froyo will get there, but not yet.
Quadrant is meaningless for comparing one device to another, across different Android Builds. It is somewhat meaningful as a gauge on the same device for comparing between builds, in the same sense that you can gauge a car's speed by knowing it's horsepower - more is better.
That said, CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1-encore-KANG, which is currently running on my nook, errors out on Quadrant. General usability is on par with my G2, so take from that what you will.

this is true, even though i love honeycomb as much as i do the best rom to run is stock
@OP
im running honeycomb and i am getting about 1600's-1700's when i run but as nswenson said quadrant scores dont matter to much
Ok so i flash theses beautiful roms and now ive tried some testing and currently on my captivate i ran the "linpack for andoid" app and it states:
MFLOPS: 13.982
time: 6.0
Norm Res:5.68
Precision: Inaccurate result
ok so i looked at the top 10 section ounder my phone and their MFLOPS is between 20-50 MFLOPS...So do i need some tweaking?..I mean the phone is good , Rom is awesome...any thoughts?
Captivate 1007
Phoenix 5.2 (2.2.1 JS5)
Speedmod i897 500hz k13c

I wouldn't worry about it. First, your test said inaccurate results, so try running it a few times, though you probably won't get much more out of it. Secondly, most people believe these benchmarks are a load of BS, and I would trends to agree. If the ROM feels snappier and works smoother than stock for you, there really isn't any use in the benchmark scores. I'm running Serendipity 5.11 with the same kernel as you, and I find my scores are in the low 14's- which, as is for you, seems slow compared to the online results. However, my phone supposedly blows the other results out of the water in the Quadrant Standard benchmark, regularly achieving scores over 1500, and I imagine yours would perform similarly, so no, I wouldn't worry at all.
Overall, most of the roms on here achieve faster performance along with better battery life compared to a stock cappy. I suggest trying out as many roms as possible to find the one that fits you best, as everybody has different tastes, and each rom behaves differently for everybody.
Personally, I think Serendipity is something you should try, as it looks friggen sweet as is, and even better IMO with some tweaks. I changed the battery indicator to the android dude, the font to Armani, and use launcher pro over the base rom. Altogether, my phone is super slick and snappy. Oh yeah, it also accesses HSPA networks, so downloads are way quicker than stock (pretty sure your current rom does too).

that's about right, repeated tests should get you 14+. it does say inacurate so i dont think you have a problem, just a process running somewhere. the hummingbird lacks a bit in this area and snapdragons excel only in this area. i know it is weird that the nexus one and droid incredible smoke this phone in linpack but it is hardly a thorough benchmark. run quadrant on CM7 when it comes out and see what the hardware is really doing without the samsung influence. despite the low mflops you will see good scores across the board.
Thanks alot for the input everyone...jus curious how gen-pop was adding up... but who cares about the numbers i suppose when my phone is soo [email protected]## cool hahha

Just for the record, I'm on stock Froyo, With no SpeedMod, but with voodoo lagfix and I got better benchmark, linpack and quadrant scores than I did with a custom rom and Speedmod kernel before. Add to that the stability of a native ROM and kernel, and I think you know what I am saying here...

Hi!
Have been running honeycomb on the nook since I first got it, and it's been a blast. Now I'm considering a switch to CM7, partly out of curiosity and partly due to the recent announcement that HC won't be released to the aosp for some time to come. Until now I've been okay with some of the bugs and quirks of the HC build, thinking that improvements would be just around the corner, but...
Anyway, I was just wondering:
- are there significant differences in battery life (in relation to performance) between overclocked HC, regular CM7, and overclocked CM7?
- does CM7 implement hardware acceleration of UI etc on the Nook?
Finally:
- has anyone managed to port the HC browser to gingerbread builds?
Any and all help would be much appreciated cheers

Battery life HCv4 vs CM7 nightlies mostly same, ie not very good on standby because neither goes into deep sleep (drops ~2% per hour in standby typically), but in use really very good, e.g. CM7 n30 with dalingrin 03162011 kernel at 1100MHz and interactive governor and wifi set to sleep never I manage 8 hours solid use with screen at 25% brightness on average.
as far as i know, CM7 is based on gingerbread, whose UI is not hardware accelerated.
so for "buttery" user interface, i would choose honeycomb over gingerbread (or CM7).

I wanna know about this, too! It would be good to know of a UI hardware accelerated android default browser for gingerbread or lower

isnt opera mobile hardware accelerated? its much faster for me than the stock hc browser...
i too am thinking about switching to cm7 though mainly for flash, video, bluetooth support...

Wow, this needs some updating. See sig for more info.
CM7 has excellent (stock or better) battery life, full hardware video acceleration, and is the bees knees. The OC kernel is about same as far as battery life goes.
HC is pretty good, not as good as CM7, but given only the sdk, I say it's pretty amazing.
Yes Opera is hardware accelerated in ui
I wanted to like opera, but I just can't. I do find Dolphin to be a nice option instead.
CM7 does have better standby under development. The 3.1 beta got me 3+ days of mild use, and I was still at 34%. HC builds must overcome pretty much all issues before I can leave CM7 behind.
