Cm7 makes my nook color sexy - Nook Color General

Since I put CM7 on my nook it's like having a whole new tablet. It works wonderful now. I keep telling my wife "you know the difference between that blackberry tablet and the galaxy tab and my nook? Nothing.... Except mine was half the price!" I've had it since they started shipping out and it has been rooted since the very first night. I'm amazed at how much progress has been made. Thank you to all the developers!

On a semi-related note,
I was messing around with my (CM7 SD install) Nook the other day at a mall Starbucks kiosk. A woman in line for coffee pointed at my NC (I had it horizontal for web browsing) and said excitedly to her husband, "That's the new Blackberry tablet that I want!"
:d

I tried CM7 out a when the 7.02 stable was released, and it felt laggy to me. No faster than nootered 1.1 OC'ed for sure. Is it just the look of 2.3 that everyone loves, because it didn't seem that smooth of an experience over either nootered 1.1 or 1.2 oc'ed. With everyone loving it sooo much, I just might have to flash it again.

I think it runs a lot smoother than when I had it nootered. Plus it looks great!

Just got a 1422 with nootered 1.2 oc'ed to 1.1. I will probably flash it again this evening after I charge her up, I honestly think I have more fun flashing the ROMs than actually using it. Sometimes

I too am enjoying CM7. It's great to have the Google Marketplace and the Android appmarket on the Nook Color. I'm using a Theme Chooser theme called NT Sense:

I like what it does to the icons and status bar.

Wow, you got that with CM7? How is the battery life/ heat with that? Are you on the newest stable version or nightly?
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA App

runtime is good, but standby is only about a day with light use.
this is fixed in the beta kernal though

I also have gotten 2700+ with the nook with the 1.3 oc kernel and highly build 64. I also noticed the battery last a heck longer with this build. I believe the sleep issue has been resolved and the speed of browsing with Dolphine is so cool. Now it feels like a tablet instead of a toy. Every time I flash a new CM I make sure to take off the crap that is not needed.. phone.apk, telephony.apk, mms.apk, voice recorder.apk, googlevoice.search stuff and so on. It really is so cool...it is even faster than my Htc eve.

Rooted NookColor Outscores Galaxy S on Quadrant

Hey, thought this was awesome, my rooted NookColor scored a 952 on Quadrant, just ahead of the Galaxy S! Both are running Eclair, currently, so this is a fair fight. Lol, I wonder if B&N will have me on Froyo before Sammy rolls out to the Galaxy S. Anyone else run Quadrant on their NC?

My Quadrant score was a 913... Really seemed to be sluggish during the graphics stuff, about 25% of the framerate of my Epic which scored a 925...
The extra ram and comperable CPU probably make up for the lackluster gpu performance...

I'm running in the mid 900's on Quadrant as well (first thing I installed after rooting!). I remember how my Droid jumped quite a bit from Eclair to Froyo. Hopefully we'll be up to 1500-1800!
OP, you weren't thinking the Samsung Galaxy Tab, were you?

No, I knew that was for the Galaxy S smart phones (not Tab or Nexus S). I know the NC is not in that league, but still impressed with my little e-reader. So far its been a very capable android tablet, and the devs did an incredible job.

Those are stock Galaxy S phones running 2.1 with Samsung's terrible touchwiz. Try that benchmark with some of the phones running 2.2 w/ lagfixes; 1500+ easy
I think comparing the phone running a crippled 2.1 to the NC running a crippled 2.1 should be a fair assesment. Let's keep the apples with the apples and the oranges with the oranges.

SPB Shell

Is anyone running this on their 'bolt? I'm using Launcher Pro and have yet to purchase the pro license but I saw SPB SHELL in the market. $15 seems kinda steep for what seems to be a relatively new launcher.

I am running SPB 5.0 BETA and this is running just fine for me.

I purchased it just to see if it would work, it wouldn't. Common with Tbolt apparently. Running BAMF, with Adryn kernel. Emailed tech support, took 2 days to get back to me. Wanted log files but had already installed. 15 minute refund timeline so I refunded immediately. I have a beta that works, but the constant registration pop up is annoying. There are some cool features, but 15 is steep. Was worth it for winmo but android has so many other options that are much cheaper.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I tried it, it ran fine for me, but it is pretty gimmicky. Seems like it needs A LOT of work. I wouldn't pay 2 bucks for it in its current state, much less 15. My advice- launcher pro or adw would be a much better investment at this point.
I bought it yesterday and it works fine on my Tbolt.
I like the panels and the widgets. There are only a few widgets right now, but they work great.
I would recommend waiting until it matures before buying it though. Not too many options built in right now. But it does work and is graphical impressive.
There was an initial issue with the Tbolt, but it has been fixed in the latest release.
I've been running beta for some time now, working fine here...

Ive had no problems running it on any tbolt rom except for das bamf. For some reason I can't get it to run on that rom. I liked it but I went back to lp for now because spb seems to rape my battery and it needs more customization options still too.

I am running on Bamf Remix With Adryn's kernel. Works great. I haven't had on long enough to tell how the battery goes, but it wouldn't surprise me if it tanks it.
I have been trying Regina 3d launcher in market. To me just as good a spb shell 3d

Thanks guys! Anything to figure out how to squeeze a little extra life out of the battery is good. I haven't been running ATK lately because I didn't think it was necessary to kill running apps with the new android version but I may have to rethink that decision.

Didnt know people still used ATK... I stopped back on my original Droid with 2.2 came out
Another great program to use us Autostarts off the market. Its well worth the 99cents and time for set up. I've had it through four android phones. Basically it lets you control what apps start based on system events and triggers. Love it!

Using atk and setcpu. I wiped my battery stats when I changed roms last night at 6pm, just got my low battery warning 3pm the next day. Almost a day with much use, as could be seen by the amount of posting I did
The 1.4 ROM is very nice

Quadrent Benchmark

Hello all
i ran a quadrent benchmark on my Thrill (rooted /w Thriller) and i scored a 1850 on my benchmark, unacceptable!
i started playing around with my build.prop file and was able to bring the benchmark up to 2856. i was just wondering what others out there are getting on their scores?
i have a friend with a modded out Atrix and his benchmark was 3500, however he is OC to 3ghz. i achived my 2800 benchmark undervolting my proc....just wait until the thrill can OC the proc, it's gonna make for some pretty impressive benchmarks..
please post benchmark results here. ill post up mine as soon as i can.

looks like the O3D rom worked out pretty well i dont think i have seen anything over what i posted. the only thing holding back the thrills benchmark is the inablilty to overclock. with that said, i fully agree this phone is plenty fast for me. the only complaint i have is that i cannot over clock, but that will come with time.
