I can't find a definite answer for upgrading from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 stable. I did a tatanium and clockwork back up just in case. Have the latest clockwork recovery. But when you boot into recovery do you first wipe system then cache, installed built, then wipe dalvik then reinstall latest gapps then 4/24 OC kernel? Are those the steps? I just want to male sure that way my apps don't get erased. I'm installing to internal memory.

I would not even update to 7.0.3 to be honest. I'm assuming you are running 7.0.2, so I would download nightly 69, the fixed OC kernel (not the one you are used to using..it needs to be the ext4 one which is available by reading through the notes on the overclock kernel page over in android development...head towards the end of the pages), boot into recovery, flash nightly 69, flash gapps, flash OC kernel, Wipe Cache, Wipe Davlik, Hard reboot...and you're good to go

Why would you recommend against 7.0.3?

Well cm7.0.3 runs off of android 2.3.3. The newer nightlies run off of Android 2.3.4 which is going to be what CM7.1 is going to run off of. Both of my nook colors have run cm7.0.3 and one of them had issues (as have a few other people) while the other one ran okay, but the nightlies continued to out perform the cm7.0.3 hands down. Not only that, the newest nightlies getting incredible battery life compared to what cm7.0.3 had. In a test I ran, I got 2 hours and 6 minutes more battery life off of nightly 67 compared to cm7.0.3. It is just a personal preference, but if the option for a newer OS is available, why update to something that is older?
Well, because stable is...stable. I certainly haven't had any issues with 7.0.3 under very heavy and varied use, whereas the nightlies have their share of issues (not to mention an obvious absence of 'real' overclocking), some of which appear to not be common knowledge despite a great many attempts to make them so. =)
Certainly, if I were recommending to a daily user, I'd advocate 7.0.3 over even the latest nightlies, if for no other reason that (once properly installed) it 'just works'.
It's not even clear whether the 1.2 u-boot can be used with the newest kernel betas when booting directly from a SD card, which in and of itself is a major blocker for me (using verygreen's SD image).
I suppose it comes down to personal preference, but again, I'm unaware of any significant outstanding issues with 7.0.3. If someone's having issues, they should by all means ask for help if they don't want to dip their toe in the unstable pool.

The 1.2 u-boot has to do with the 2.6.32 beta, not the nightlies. I am and have been overclocked on all the nightlies since 59 when they first made the switch to 2.3.4...I have had no issues with any of the nightlies at all, but if you're an average user, then go with 7.0.3...like I said before I just don't see the point in flashing something that is already old compared to what is available and very stable. And why are you still using an SD card? Flash to stockkkk =) and for now, I think I will continue to swim in the stable pool.

I dont need the latest nightly i just want something stable since i use my nook everyday. Battery drain isnt an issue for me since i go the whole day with out having to charge it. So if i decide to use nightly (69) you have to use "ext4-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411". Is that the same kernel i have to use if i decide to use 7.0.3? or should i just use "CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411"

If you use nightly 69 then yes you need to use the kernel you mentioned above. If you use cm7.0.3 then just use the regular overclock kernel. And nightly 69 is very stable. I have been running all of the 2.3.4 nightlies and they run smooth as butter for me.
im going to use nightly 69 heres the kernel for anyone else interested in upgrading

good choice and good luck
There is a misconception in this thread......Your kernel selection has to do with your version of Clockwork Recovery. The latest version of Clockwork Recovery will only boot with a kernel that has had an ext.4 script change. Older versions of Clockwork use the "original" kernels found in dalingrin's kernel page. To eliminate anymore problems or confusion. If you have not updated CWM please do so, then update your kernel to the one with the script change attached to this post. Both SD & EMMC versions are attached.....All will be right with your Nook
I upgraded from 7.0.2 to the nightly 69. Everything went fine, but I no longer have USB connectivity. Any advice on how I might get it working?
I use swiftp to transfer files over Wifi from computer use firezilla or any other ftp program to make a connection. I think it's a bug according to what I read on another post...
That works just fine. Thanks.
I have 7.0.3 running from SD card.
I tried putting the 0424 OC on and found it seemed to be causing a problem with at least one program, LCD Density after I increase to 1200. When I ran the app to increase my icon size it would freeze up the NC and only way out was a forced reboot.
Anyone else find problems like this and is this unusual.

OK. So I am sure I am missing something obvious here. I've done a ton of searching and reading, but I'm still at a bit of a loss.
I am running CM7 with dalingrin's OC kernel flashed over the top of it. I see tons of people overclocking to 1.0 and 1.1 GHz, yet I can't seem to options for doing so.
In CM7 settings under performance, I have options for 100-950. I can O/C to 950 and that's great, but how do people try settings above that? I tried setCPU, but it seems to cap out at 950 as well.
What am I missing?
You need to get a different kernel, such as Dalingrin's, from the android development forum.
Hi,
Looks like you didn't successfully install the overclock kernel, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
for instructions.
I have been using the CWM install method and am running CWM7 RC4 with
the interactive governor between 300 and 1100MHz.
I usually install the updated CM7 along followed by GAPPS then the
latest OC kernel. Perhaps you installed the kernel before CM7? CM7
comes with its own kernel that overwrites existing kernel when you install CM7.
Hope this helps,
Peter

That is odd. I have never had any issue like that with any of the oc kernels.
My one and only question is if you a sure you flashed the right one successfully?
http://nook.handhelds.ru/dalingrin/kernels/033111/
Note that there are 2 kernels for each ROM-
one is for internally installed (emmc)
One is for sd card installations (sd)
I do not know if any errors would show up if you flashed the wrong one or if there was an error with the download.
My suggestion would be to try again and see if it works.
My response may be too basic- I don't know your knowledge level.
One thing though- IN CM7 it is best to NOT use SetCPU or other apps to change cpu speed, or at least that used to be the case. I don't use them anymore.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I was using the SD version, as I had a bootable CWM SD that I used to get into recovery. Once I loaded the emmc onto the SD card and flashed that, they showed up.
Thanks for all of the replies.
Nice!
Glad I was able to help-
Usually I am just getting all kinds of info and help for my own stuff here. Being able to pay that back is a good thing.
Be sure not to flash a cm7 nightly after you flash the kernel. If you do, you will flash there stock cnn kernel over the oc'Ed kernel

Actually a good point-
Nothing wrong with updating to the latest nightly but you WILL go back to having the stock CM7 kernel again.
Re-flashing the oc kernel fixes that problem, of course, but you'll need to reset max cpu speed and governor again.
Hi All,
Just joined the forums today after a few weeks browsing. I must say I am very impressed with the level of knowledge here and how helpful people are to others, especially noobs like me
Anyway, I got a nook color, but I am in Ireland, so I can't register it, that didn't worry me too much, because I wanted to root it, and after much reading on these forums I decided to use CM7.
My build at the moment is as follows, built with Clockwork,
CM7 RC4,
Dalingrins's OC kernel emmc 0413A,
Alsa 041411
First thanks to all the people who made the mods/ kernels etc Your work is really appreciated I am loving the nook color now with the mods.
I just have a few very basic questions, lol and I am still getting to grips with the right terminology
1. Does it matter which way I install mods/kernels etc? I understood that you had to install the CM7 mod first, but, for Dalingrin's OC kernel and Alsa, I installed the kernel first than Alsa, or does it matter?
2. If a new kernel comes out, or an update to Alsa, do I have to uninstall the old one? Or can I just boot into recovery mode wipe the caches and install the updates?
3. Same question for the CM7 mod, If I want to try some of the nightlies, can I just put the nightly on an SD card, wipe caches and install it the same way I did the RC4 version? will I have to reinstall the other kernels if I do this?
4. What happens my data and apps if I do update CM7?
5. I made a backup on the SD card using clockwork. Is this just a backup of the system files? or is it a backup of data and apps as well?
6. I am trying to learn more about this, in performance settings there is a thing called VM heapsize. Is there a recommended value for this?
7. And in the CPU settings there are a number of options available under "available governors" what are govenors? and which one is best? Is there an explaination available for each one?
That's all the questions I have for now. Very sorry if these have been answered a million times already!!

You should be able to upgrade with CWR. I have CM7 on a SD card and just add the new kernel and boot into recovery mode.

Since the nightly has its own kernel, you will need to reinstall the OC kernel.

They shouldn't be affected.
I'll leave your other questions to someone else, since I haven't dealt with these issues.
thanks for tthe reply Bob.
Can anyone add anything for the last few questions?
I've been trying to find answers to all my questions but it's hard when I haven't been keeping up with the CM7 process, so I'll just start with the simplest I have
I am currently running CM7.0.3, can I update to Nightly 177 without clearing anything? (or should I update to 7.1 RC instead of 177)
The other question that I have that might be able to have an easy answer...is there any place I can go that tells me all the features of CM7 on Nook? I know a lot has changed in between 7.0.3 and now...their release notes are confusing because it deals a lot with fixes and backend that I don't need to know. Alternatively, if someone would wanna outline the changed/additions, that'd be awesome too!
7.1RC is pretty stable. I just updated to 176 the other day though and it's been almost as stable (a random freeze here or there.)
For updating, all you need to do is clear dalvik cache. You can keep all your apps, settings, etc.
As to what's really new, I'm not sure of all the changes. I know the kernel included in 176 allows for OCing to 1200MHz so that's nice. Hopefully someone else can chime in with what the big stuff is.
You can safely update to 177 either with ROM Manager if installed on the eMMC or by dropping the 177 .zip file onto the boot partition of the SD card if running off of the card. All you need to wipe is Davlik in either case.
You're not telling us how you run CM7, from eMMC or uSD.
if you do flash to n177 you'll also need this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dalingrin.nookcolortweaks&feature=search_result
thanks for the replies guys! Sorry, i forgot to mention that I'm currently running it off eMMC.
@boxcar8028 Thanks for the link that app!
This kinda brings me to the other question i had that I'm currently reading through the post for, but I'll ask here if anyone knows the answer...
I'd really like to do duel boot CM7 and B&N 1.3. Is it possible for me to go from where I am, update to 177 (or 7.1RC or anything like that), back that up and then do the duel boot from that file? That way I don't lose anything and I'm able to get duel boot?
I'm reading through ikingblack's post, but there is 17 pages and I don't have much time to spend on the forums unfortunately, so it'll take me a while to get all the way through!
Thanks again everyone!
I always prefer updating CM7 using CwM uSD card, not using ROM Manager.
Pop the new image into the uSD's root folder, boot up then install zip from there.
Note: you might (and most likely) run into the Market issue, don't panic, everyone of us got hit.
If you want to use stock 1.3, then I suggest spend $25 purchasing a 16G Sandisk uSD and boot CM7 off it.
bumping this in hopes someone can tell me what's new still...
@votinh, I don't like the idea of booting off the SD card because although many have not had any issues, many others have plus I like the idea of it actually being on there. if anything I'd love to be able to run the B&N software off a SD, but as far as I know the person who was working on that stopped and no one else has.
I'm just about to update to RC7.1 but now I'm hearing that the sleep of death issue is back, so I'm not sure about it. I'm pretty sure that it was fixed around 7.0.3 or before right?
We or at least I don't know what the new/additions/fixes/enhancements on the front-end of CM7 but what we know is their development logs:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore
I am very much new on Rooting the NC. I finally updated to the 1.3 and then used the manual nooter to root it again. However, after doing quite a bit of research, I have been seeing people posting about flashing the
" Dalingrin Kernels" ??
What are these?? and if it would help my NC to be a little more stable, or faster, could I use these?? and if so, how would I do this??
Thanks!!
They are customized kernels that allow for overclocking, and some other "unlocked" features. They are actually included in the CM7 nightlies now, so you don't have to flash them separately. You can go into the Cyanogenmod Settings to change the CPU clock in the Performance section to overclock. Other stuff that's working include bluetooth and usb host mode.
I would highly recommend just using one of the latest nightly CM7 releases. If you want to stick with rooted stock, then you should still be able to flash the kernel, I believe.
Add on to what pony said,
+ it created by Dalingrin, that's why it gets the name.
+ Dalingrin recently release new set of kernels in September, but I have no clue what news, enhancements or any advanced features added. I hope he will post the log some days.

Find the Dalingrin post in the Development section that contains the link to kernals. Use the 090111 kernal (there are two so pick the one that is to be flashed from the SD card). You can use the same CWM SD card that was used to install Manualnooter. Put the zip on the card, the card in the Nook, boot to CWM and flash. Following a reboot, you will be in business.
I did this when I installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 but you should be able to do it at any time. I coud not tell you if it makes any difference as I did not run rooted 1.3 without it.
Hey all, I'm running CM7 7.1 rc-1... I just installed dalingrin's latest oc kernel... And it killed my wifi.. It's really bugging me. My nc is currently oc'd @ 1200.. With a min speed of 600. Is the kernel killing my wifi? Or is it the overclocking?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
interesting. I had the same experience. My case went a little bit further than that as I lost my whole config after trying to fix it ... long story short, after fixing my nook and re-installing back to stock (1.0.1 then upgrade to 1.3). I tried again, installed same distro on SD but I put all the zip files at the same time on the sd card for install (7.1, gapps and OC); everything got installed and no more wifi problems. I also upgraded to full nightly 212. So far, so good.
I also noticed something: after testing a few apps, I would get a weird behavior. In rom manager, fix permissions would fix most of the issues.
