Hello,
Could someone please explain the difference and the benefits between just rooting a Nook HD and Rooting and installing CM10? I would like to keep the BN OS because my kids and wife will use this to read books as well, so I like the multiple profile feature. Also I see multiple threads on the rooting CM10 etc, but if you could point me to the one that is the easiest for both I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

For rooting the HD stock there is only one choice that works now, my CWM thread linked in my signature. And in that thread you can add a lot of features to the HD without rooting, like Play Store to get more apps.
And for CM10 on the HD only bokbokan's thread works.
As far as the difference, CM10 is nice and you probably can run more apps, but I think stock is best for kids because of the profiles.

If you need the profiles, then I'd recommend leaving stock untouched and making a CM10 or CM10.1 SD card for your own use. The B&N profiles only work with the B&N interface. So if you root and add non-B&N apps, everyone will have access to those.

Im not new to loading ROM's for Android devices. I have an HD2 and have loaded about 50 ROMS on it in the last year I have had it! Recently, I got my wife a NC, and want to play around a little bit.
The big issue is this. My wife HATES my HD2 simply because every time she picks it up, its a new ROM! She really LOVES the NC, so there is no way she is going to let me really mod the thing like my phone.
There are a few small issues with the stock ROM, and I have been reading the post's for a few weeks now to see if there is something that fits what im looking for, but there are so many post's its really hard to dig even using the search! So please bare with me for asking questions im sure have been asked many many times.
#1, is there a ROM that will still run B&N books? Or will I just have to stick with stock ROM for that?
#2, can the stock rom be overclocked of the above is true? One of the biggest gripes is youtube playback. Will the OC help that?
#3, Has anyone gotten the Netflix player to play on a stock rooted NC?
Basically I want to let her watch Netflix on the NC and punch up the performance a little, and still keep the B&N software useable.
Any help would be great!

1. FroYo and CM7 will run B&N books through the B&N Nook App. Children's books ("Read to me") are stock only (Android 2.1 Eclar).

Actually the latest stock upgrade puts it up to 2.2 - stock 1.1 and below were eclair. The books still work fine after rooting too.

Stock is still Android - the angry birds that b&n sells is Android. But without rooting you can only get whatever b&n sells you.

#1. Also The stock nook color reader app can only be run on a rooted stock device. I am pretty sure no roms at all support it. ( I don't know why there is no froyo rom that is based on the stock build maybe it is not possible) The BN app in the market is a fairly different reading experience.
#2. stock rom can be overclocked just fine, You can find Kernels Here. I run 1.1Gz some times no problems, 1.2 was too much for my device. Usually though I leave the clock down at 800-900 because the boost is not needed. Also, Youtube works beautifully on my rooted 1.2 right now ( I dont remember if the last time i was watching youtube i was overclocked or not)
#3. I am one of the last people in the universe to not have netflix so can't really try this out.
If CM7 still has sleep issues stock will get better sleep battery life by about 10x so your wife wont have to live next to a power outlet.

For pure stock nook colors, Barnes and Noble has their own app store with just under 150 apps I think. Only a small selection of them are free because no ads are allowed. They do have pulse reader though, which is mine and a lot of peoples favorite news aggregator.
Just Install CM7 to a MicroSD. That way whenever your Wife uses the Nook it's Normal Stock, which she's probably fine with, but when you use the Nook you can Pop the Card in and it'll boot into CM7 instead allowing you to do anything you want. When your Wife wants to use the Nook just turn it off and take out the Card, turn it back on and it'll boot to Stock again.
I recommend this Thread for Installing CM7 to MicroSD:

I just ordered a Nookcolor. Is there any reason to dual boot (using stock and cm7) other than invalidating the warranty? I have rooted and put custom ROMS on several phones, so I am not afraid of the process. I was wondering if perhaps their was any difference between the quality of the ereader (I love the eink technology on my wife's old b&w nook) on stock and the nook app on android. Thanks for your help.
Nook app for Android is a pain in the everyone-knows. It's shytty.
If you want to read and read alot, stay with ereader.
Oh, and btw, based on what you've described, it doesn't sound like "dual boot"

That's why you use a different e-reader app.

The only reason I would do this is I want to know if the "reading experience" is better using the stock ereader or if users out there are happy with the "reading experience" using Aldiko or the nook app on a rooted device with CM7 installed.
I find Aldiko to be an equal experience to the full reader on stock - so no need for stock for me. I don't read any magazines, which i think stock may be better for.

I find stock to be pretty worthless, but then the Nook App isn't very good either. I got sick of the stock OS pretty quickly, so I flashed a CM7 Nightly and installed Moon+ Reader for epubs. It's pretty easy to remove the copy protection from B&N epubs. Personally I think Moon+ is far superior to either the stock Nook Color rom or the android Nook app. I even prefer it to the kindle app.

I really like aldiko myself. Love the brightness gesture area on the side and it works great with the library ebook system.
I can't stand stock personally, and the nook app sucks.
To be honest, the rooted stock OS is pretty bad. You'll figure that out for yourself. If you plan on using the NC to read, primarily the magazines because they more or less require the stock OS, then there is no real need for CM7.
Though if you plan on using it as a tablet, which it does very well at this point, Then you probably don't want to dual-boot. My main reason is storage. I know 1gig of system memory seems like a lot. I know I can't be considered the norm, but I only have 110Megs left for app storage. With it cut in half by dual-booting I can foresee storage issues. If you want another reason, in all reality you'll end up just being on the CM7 boot. It's really nice once you have her setup the way you like.
In the end it'll come down to you for the first month or so flashing a lot of different roms / fixing things you break, figuring out what works for you. Don't worry about 'bricking' the NC, it's pretty much unbreakable via flashing roms. If it's able to be screwed up I can guarantee you that there's been a couple threads on it. It only takes a little forum surfing.
Yesterday I was tasked by my gf with the task of seeing if I could "make her tablet work like her other tablet" (ie the Nook HD+ needed to work like the Nexus 7 she had, because she cracked the screen on that one and now had to have access to her calendar).
I got it and my first response was to get to XDA-developers.com. I have an old Nook Color running CM7, and the girls are using Nook Tablets that are rooted and have just a standard generic Android tablet interface now, so I had done this before.
The typical process involves coming here, reading around, trying different things, lots of profanity because things never work right for me the first time, and then finally getting things right by reading a lot of the posts due to the hours of work put in by the developers and moderators contributing to this site.
Then I happily download everything, install it, and run off to put all kinds of things on it using the Google Play app once that is enabled.
It occurred to me I never thanked all the people that spent so much time and effort answering questions, dealing with the frustration, and putting threads together - because people like me read the threads of you helping other people so we never really need to post.
But I really appreciate the hours and days of work the moderators and people like verygreen and leapinlar (did I get the name right?) put into making it possible for people like myself to get all the value out of devices they (or their loved ones) have purchased.
The good news is that I got the tablet rooted and working, though I am still confused as to whether there is a version of Cyanogen that can be flashed to run on the internal ROM as the default OS, or whether we are currently all running that off sdcards for now and you are pretty much stuck using the default Nook HD+ OS with root and GApps enabled as the closest option for now. Is there an easy way to make that transition or do I have to remove root and everything else to go to CM10/equiv?
Thanks again for everything regardless,
Mike

You are welcome.
As of yet it is not possible to run a different ROM on internal memory. The system is too locked down for now.
So if you want to run an alternate ROM it has to be by SD. You can run either by the standard verygreen method outlined in his thread or you can run his ROMs on my Hybrid SD which means part of the system is on the SD and part on internal memory. Stock is not effected either way. But using the Hybrid it is easier to boot back and forth between the stock and CM ROMs.

I second the OP's sentiments. Sent a little pizza money to verygreen and leapinlar for their hard work on everything. Given what is under the hood in the HD+, the cost of the tablet and a little donation to these guys still makes this the best deal out there to get a great tablet running a rooted non-OEM version of Android.
My NOOK HD+ currently runs stock ROM and so far I don't encounter any issues. I was wondering how the improvement is if installing CM10.X or CyanogenMod 10.X on my NOOK. They are almost the same, a little better or huge difference? Thanks for any feedback or suggestion.
If you are happy with stock than just stick with it. It's not a HUGE improvement but the UI does seem smoother and apps seem to open a bit snappier. A lot more options open up with mods/ exposed framework/ more app options in the play store. It's kind of subjective though. I sometimes miss the Stock launcher but I'm happy with all the optional mods and stuff.

Thank you for your feedback.
In fact, I am interested in installing the CM10.3 on my NOOK HD+. However, I was told by a BN agent that the unit will definitely lose the warranty if I go for it. If it is not a huge improvement, is it worthy of taking the risk?
If you do an SD install I don't see it voiding your warranty. That way you can try it out, but I think you would.get better performance with an EMMC install. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Emmc is definitely better performance wise over SD but SD lets you use both with no issues. So it is worth it to try that one first and see if you like it.

I got mine with the intent of keeping it stock. It took me about two minutes of frustration in the Play Store to change my mind.
I much rather prefer CyanogenMod 10.1.3 , stable. Although version 2.10 + of stock ROM isn't bad either, since it now bundles Google Play Store by default. When Nook's initially released, they didn't have Google Play, so I installed CyanogenMod; and after that, I've stuck with it.
I believe my father (the person I gave the Nook to) prefers CyanogenMod too; as he now gets the full Android experience. On newer Nooks, I believe performance isn't as good as stock; but this varies for different models, most people report greater performance on CM. Using CyanogenMod 10.1.3 also updates you to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, whereas stock ROM uses Android 4.0.4 ICS.
It's true however, that if you install CyanogenMod your warranty is void. Of course, you could still go ahead and install CM, but when you want a warranty on your Nook, just reinstall stock ROM; or others have suggested, you could install CM on an SD card. Also as stated, CM on SD card isn't as great performance, if it was installed on your internal storage (EMMC).
It's completely your choice, but if you're happy/more than satisfied with stock ROM, I'd stay with it. If you want more from your tablet, and are willing to forsake your current interface on your tablet, you could install CyanogenMod.
All I can is, it's completely your choice, haha. All the best.
I think it also depends on whether you use other Android devices. Two friends bought Nook HD+'s, - one of them has another Android device - so I put CM10.1 on it. The other person isn't as tech savvy, and doesn't use any other Android devices, so I left it at stock.
I primarily use the Nook HD+ for watching movies and TV episodes using Netflix. I tried CM 10.1 but the audio lagged noticeably behind the video so I went back to stock which doesn't have the Netflix audio lag issue. Just my experience. Your experience may differ.
Most other apps under CM 10.1 ran very well.
What got me to flip to CyanogenMod was that there's no way to tell stock Nook OS to permit the installation of 3rd-party apps the way there is in vanilla Android—and I had bought a lot of games through the Humble Indie Bundle.
So I installed CyanogenMod 10.1 and never looked back. Haven't regretted it, either. The tablet is altogether more useful and versatile as a vanilla Android device. Haven't noticed any lag problems with Netflix or any other online video either.
If you can do everything you want with stock, you should probably just leave it.
But if you are going to do it I too would recommend 10.1.3, 10.2 is not as smooth in my opinion
and a few less things work properly.
Netflix runs perfectly on my HD+ with 10.1.3 (non official mid july build)

Nice to know, but if I was going to go to that much trouble I'd just enable stock Android anyway. After having used Android a while already, the Nook launcher drove me nuts.
Installing custom software opens up a lot of customization to your nook, it gives you the opportunity to make the device your own in the sense of modifying it however you wish for your own convenience.
I suggest you do not touch the internal emmc, the Nook has the amazing advantage of booting from the SD card which I use. If you use a bootable SD card you'll keep your warranty(I think) while having the freedom of CM on your device, best of both worlds.
I've been using SD card 10.1 for a while now on a class 4 sdcard, it's very functional and there is small to almost no lag while using it. You might experience some lag while opening an app because it's being loaded from the sdcard into the ram, although it happens for a couple of seconds before getting backt o speed.
trying to install 4.3 or higher so new health watch will work. There is so many versions I am confused (which is easy to do) what IS CM 10.2 ? is this the version I need or do I need to use something else and what is the best version of Roms to use. I hope this is not too confusing if so it is because I am confused. Would some one please help me out.
cutting to the chase:
I need 4.3 or higher on my nook HD+.
Thanks

New age electronics a little fuzzy for me. The install for dummies has the cm11 file site closed.
Is there a newbie install guide for the most stable rom install ? Sorry if my terminology is incorrect. I would like to use a site that has all of the parts needed listed and can be down loaded. I need at least 4.3 or higher. As you can tell I am very new at this and would appreciate any help.
From reading yesterday it looks like cm 10.1.3 is the most stable or is there anew one on the scene.

I see that you still prefer 10.1.3, leapinlar, just curious as to why. I mean I ask because I know 4.4 brings things that should be useful especially TRIM for our older NHD hardware which it should certainly benefit from. I just got an 8GB NHD (I have a 32GB microSD for expansion as well) from a pawn shop several hours ago for $10 (had 2.1 on it, then upgraded to 2.2.1 and it seems to work fine overall) and it's got no issues. My Wife and I communicate using YIM (Yahoo Instant Messenger) and that won't work on the NHD (it's a Yahoo issue, not the NHD) so we're migrating over to using Hangouts which is fine as well.
But now that we have two NHDs I can goof off with mine. She's had one for a few years that I get to play with on occasion, I put CM11 on it a long time ago and it's been fine but tonight I made a backup of mine after a complete de-registration (from the previous owner) so it was clean as a whistle, then I simply restored that backup to hers so now we have to "almost" factory-fresh 2.2.1 NHDs to work with.
I remember when we first got the NHD back in late 2013 the stock software was crap and laggy which is why I pushed CM on it as soon as I could (CM10, then later on CM11). Obviously I want to eek out the best performance I can from this device even in spite of the age so, again, I'm curious to why you prefer 10.1.3 - I'm at a point right now where I'd like to install a custom ROM since I can do more experimentation with my NHD that I just got for $10 than the Wife's, so I'm just "on the market" one could say to see what the options are.
I can't tolerate Lollipop so I won't be going anywhere near Android 5.x or CM12 for any reason; I prefer Android 4.4.x at this point but even after all this time CM still doesn't have a stable CM11 build and at this point I doubt it'll ever happen so, since 10.1.3 appears as a stable option I'm considering it.
I'm guessing you run your 10.1.3 from the eMMC and not SD card, but I don't think I've ever seen you say which way you do things. And just to ask: any issues on your NHD with 10.1.3 that you'd care to mention, anything at all? Everything runs smooth and great, etc? Do you use a custom kernel with any tweaks/governors/etc? If you can answer here, awesome, if not that's fine, perhaps the info is someplace buried in another thread which I need to look for.
You've got vastly more experience with the NHD than I do and your guides and your assistance with these devices (and the Nook Color and Tablet as well) are invaluable resources here so thanks for your continuing efforts.
I'm just looking to get the best performance/battery life/etc from this Nook HD, like most anyone I suppose, so any suggestions are very welcome, indeed.

I prefer 10.1.3 because I have never had one issue with it. I tried 10.2 while it was still in nightlies and had issues so moved back. Now that 10.2.1 is stable it may be ok. I tried Jon Lee's 10.2 with the tweaked kernel and found it unstable.
And I do run from emmc, but have run from SD with no issues using a good SD.
I recommend against 11 for the HD+ for the very reason you tout it, TRIM. I have seen a lot of HD+ get bricked by TRIM even though the kernel is supposed to be fixed to prevent that. It is just certain models of HD+, others seem safe. I have not heard of any HD's getting bricked though.

Just tried CM11 (the 8-13 Nightly) and was somewhat disappointed in some aspects; I have a bunch of content on the Google Play Movies & TV side of things and that app won't play any videos at all on CM11, not sure what the issue is and I'm not interested in bothering with it so I'm rolling back to pure stock 2.2.1 for the time being.
I most likely will give 10.1.3 a shot, it can't hurt I suppose and I figure it'll be pretty snappy all around.
Any idea if there are any custom kernels that might function on that (meaning 10.1.3) to allow for more options for tweaking things (governors and I/O, etc)? I'll do more research but for now as stated I'll stick with pure stock since it seems to work ok.

I also need to know which ROM is best for 4.3+. I have an android wear watch I need to pair. Should I use cm 10.2 or 11? Which ROM of the better cm should I use? Much obliged for your help and assistance.
