[Q] Most Stable ROM? - Nook Color General

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.

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.

hey guys, i have a question for you kind of in line with this one, which is why i didnt repost ...
my nook is still on 1.0.1 auto nooted ... and i havent done anything since it was really first available, like christmas time even i think ... is it worth updating autonooter and all that or just going with one of the previously mentioned froyo version on emmc ???

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.

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

[Q] Nexus One Cm Rc3 + New Korean radio + 720p videohelp

Hello
I currently have a nexus one flashed with CM 6 RC2. I would like to get the new korean radio and flash with the new CM RC3 rom or with LimeMOD R4. I am not sure which one is better I am quite new to this. I would like to have the 720p video function and would like to not have ADW launcher built in. Could you please tell me which one to get. Also if there is any way to be able to change the trackball color for incoming calls i would like to know how to do that.
Thanks
I am new to this could you please give me a step by step explanation on how to flash the new firmware, google apps and radio.
Thanks
To make things easy and since you're already running CM6 RC2, I would open up ROM Manager and simply download CM6 RC3. CM6 RC3 comes with 720p and is much easier to do rather than flash a new radio and then flash CM6 or the other ROM that you stated.
If you don't have ROM Manager, go install it from the Market. Click Download ROM>CyanogenMod>CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC3
Simple as that =).

To be completely honest, I get amazing speeds with RC3 and WildMonks Kernel, so for me to flash a radio isn't necessary. A lot of the speeds posted about the Korean radio are from domains that aren't completely accurate, so make sure you do your research first.
There is no doubt an increase in speed, but like I said, RC3 with WildMonks Kernel gives me phenomenal amount of speed.
Okay that sounds good. Does the kernel come with RC3 or is that something seperate? I am not really sure what the kernel is..
The kernel that comes with RC3 is good enough. I shot 720p @22 FPS and when I flashed WildMonks Kernel, I shot 720p @24 FPS.
I see what your saying. I was wondering if there is an ADW launcher in the RC3 and if there is a way to change the color of the trackball for incoming calls.
Yes ADW Launcher comes stock with it and yes there are trackball color notifications for your dialer.
So where do i change those notifications? Also currently when using RC2 I am having some issues with Launcher Pro and I do prefer that over the ADW Launcher. SOmetimes when I open the app drawer it gets glitchy and some of the app dont show up. Also a lot of the time launcher pro has to do a force close. Do you know if that it fixed in the RC3?
I use Launcher Pro and I haven't had any issues with lag or FC's with RC3. For the LED notifications you simply go to Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>User Interface>LED Notifications> Dialer .
Update to RC3. It's a big improvement from RC2 and plus, you get 720p
and RC3 doesn't include a radio it keeps your existing, so if you want to flash the korean radio, there shouldn't be any problems (im using it on mine as we speak)

Make sure you do a nandroid backup first... that is very important!!
This is how I did it...
1. Downloaded the radio update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723839
2. Copied the update to the root of my SD card
3. Rebooted phone and help the power button and the VOL down button to enter the fastboot/recovery mode
4. Use the VOL down key to select "recovery"
5. Phone reboots into recovery mode (I am using Amon Ra's 1.7.0.1)
6. I selected the option "flash .zip from SDcard"
7. It gave me a selection of the .zip files I had on the root on the SD
8. I selected the file that I downloaded in step 1
9. I applied the update and then the phone rebooted
10. Phone came back in recovery mode (I believe it wiped the cache)
11. Once the cache was wiped (it was automatic) I just rebooted the phone and started using like normal
Let me know if you want some screenshots or if I didn't explain something right. That is pretty much exactly what I did... step by step. Hope that helps.

Its a problem with Cyanogen and the launcher rotations, go into the launcher settings and disable auto rotation and all the FC's go away.Im not sure if this was fixed in RC3, but that was the problem in Rc2
Thank you very much! I will try this out and let you know. Also would it be better to do this before or after i install RC3? Or does it not matter.
Thanks

yes, the radio is something totally separate from the rom, which is why it is so important not to mess up a radio update, you can brick your phone if a radio update goes south, not even a nandroid can fix that. But yup your radio is stuck at 5.08 until you flash over it with a newer/older radio image.
Thank you very much! It its all done now

Flash 10.2?

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.

[ROM] Cyanogenmod Nightly Builds - Builds for P920 works on P925!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

What's the downside to installing over EMMC, what do I lose?

I'm running bokobans Hybrid ROM at the moment which has generally been working well apart from the occasional reboot now and then. I've realised that in the last year, I've only booted into the B&N Stock ROM once to check an app compatibility but apart from that I'm on CM/Android 99% of the time.
I saw somewhere that an EMMC install is a little more stable and a little faster than a Hybrid system so I'm tempted to just install a pure EMMC ROM. What do I lose (if anything) from getting rid of the Stock ROM?

Not much because if ever feel the need to see stock, you can make a stock-on-sd-card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42724327

The Nook app for Android is not as feature rich as Stock. And a couple of the magazine subscriptions I had on stock said that they weren't compatible with the stand alone app.
But that's really the only thing that affected me. It wasn't worth worrying about and I really haven't missed it.

A note on that...
You can't install the Nook app from Google Play. You get a message about it being not-compatible. You can either temporarily change the ID of your Nook while you install from the Play store or download the latest APK (what I did).
The thing I noticed that bothers me is that I can't zoom while reading magazines. This isn't too bad on the big HD+ screen, but if I only had a 7" screen, this would be a deal-killer.
