Which CM to download to SD? - Nook Color General

I have been searching the web the last 2 days. Getting more confused the more I read. Just not sure what the difference is between the different dual boot roms(CM7,CM9,CM10). It sounds like the CM7 is the stable running one. But, most of what I have read is probably outdated. Was going to buy the N2A card. But, I figured I could get a microsd and just do it myself. I believe they run the CM9 or 10 on there sd cards. If I read correctly they just used the development here on xda to do there cards. You are just paying for them to do the leg work for you. A couple years ago I rooted a Pandigital with out any problem. This just seems way more confusing than that.

If you want to leave stock alone on internal memory and install a CM ROM on SD, follow my updated SD installation guide linked in my signature. That guide is up to date for all versions of CM, including CM7 even though it does not say so.
As far as which version to install, CM7 is by far the most stable. You can get the CM 7.2 ROM at the cyanogenmod site and the gapps-gb zip at goo.im.
CM9 has pretty much stalled on development since CM10 came out so I recommend against that.
CM10 is getting pretty mature and new nightlies come out every day, each improving on the next. It is good enough that many, including me, use it as their every day driver.

leapinlar thanks for the reply. Which CM10 are talking about that people are using daily, Alpha 1 CM10, Beta 3,4or5? Just need to know which one to download. Maybe I should run CM7. Also, am I correct in saying that the N2A cards run the CM10? Thanks again! What is the big difference between the CM7 and CM10?

Like purpleurkle said, go to the cyanogenmod site to get the latest nightly. It is well beyond b5.
It's your choice. They are very different. You have to decide for yourself.

After a long absence, I pulled out the the NC and installed CM10 on SD card, but I find it to be quite sluggish.
Is this normal?
I didn't find CM7 all that sluggish when I played with it last some time ago.
Any thoughts?

It might be the SD you are using. My setup is snappy. You need to use a SanDisk class 4 SD.

Oh the irony...
Phiremod isn't cm7 its just a themed nookie froyo... cm7 is being kept private until it's perfect. Be patient and time will reward you.
Actually the new build of phiremod is CM7. And CM7 isn't private, thecubed released the CM7 build today. Oh the irony...

I am new to CM team's work, I have a Samsung Vibrant and they do not develop for it, so I am interested in this answer too. What exactly are "nightly builds"?

From what I have read to date.. I would say yes, but it is not seeing all the apps. As this build is currently in Beta, and the Devs debugged the market only to the point of Google registration and no further.. yet.
This is subject to change, even hourly so hold on to your seat.

this is an open source build. anyone can contribute changes/fixes and if they are approved they go in to the nightly build. so yes, every night a new build will be made even if there are no changes.
Why thank you!
The Nook forums are a breath of fresh air coming from the wild west of the Vibrant forums. Here seems to be, well, more mature, IMO.
Digging the separate "Dev" and "user forums". Lets the Devs do their work.
nah all ive seen is original, nightly (under the name encore not nook), and phiremods. ive been looking too
Sorry for the noobie question but.....
What is CM7? I'm familiar with the android builds,
Eclair, Froyo, Honeycomb, etc., but not CM7.
Thanks
Never mind! I found out myself. Should have just googled CM7 in the first place. Thanks anyway!
format SD card?
I have CM7 running on the nook. For some reason I am having trouble with the SD card. I am new to android, so bear with me. When using the Nook's OS there was a format SD card option, but I can't seem to find this in the CM7 build. How do I go about formatting so that I can use titanium backup? I have tried formatting to fat32, and that does not seem to work. SD card shows up, but I can't see my files. Thanks for any help on this.

They put out the 7-flavour for about a dozen phones but I haven't seen a dedicated NC ROM.
What device-version of CM7 did you use? How did you flash it (Clockwork or Fastboot)?
I don't have my NC yet but am doing research for next week...

How to upgrade from a nightly build?

I have a Nook Color with a nightly build. I installed it not knowing it was a nightly build. I want to upgrade to the latest stable build. Any help on how to do that? I've forgotten how to root on the Nook since on always on my Evo.
Sent via Tapatalk on my *voided* Evo running CM 7.1.0
Pls tell us more
1. You are running CM7 from where? eMMC or uSD?
2. Which version of nitebuild you currently have on the NC and which version of stable/nitebuild you want to update to?
Funny, I just asked the same questions to his same post in another forum.....
My humble suggestion would be to use ROM Manager Premium....nice and simple. Yes its a Buck...don't be tight..its a good program that deserves support. Lets you easily download and install Clockwork Mod Recovery and many different custom ROMs including both nightlies and stable versions of CM7.

Are you successfully updating ROMS with ROM Manager while running CM7 from the SD card?
The CM is running off the SD card. The nightly on my Nook says this:
CyanogenMod-7-07042011-NIGHTLY-encore. I simply would like to update it to the most recent stable CM version.
I am familiar with Rom Manager as I use it often on my Evo. Always considered updating to Premium. Question is, if u get Premium, will I be able to use it on multiple devices?

As a general rule yes... you can run paid apps on multiple devices... HOWEVER:
DO NOT use ROM Manager for an SD card install.
Follow the directions in the SD card thread for updating SD builds.

Ok so after reading that thread over and over, I was unsuccessful. I even went to other threads and was told Nightly 201 was the most stable, and to just place it on the root of my SDcard and to boot. I did that and it seemed to install. But when I turn it back on and check the version, its the same nightly version I originally installed. Ideas?
I also have a plethora of SD cards, on case I should use them.

Upgrading from CM10 to CM10.1

I did the SD card version of cm10 a few months ago but battery life seems to be awful so was looking at upgrading it to cm10.1.
Have had a good look through the development forum but there isnt much info on actually going from 10 to 10.1, they all seem to be based on starting from scratch.
Wondered if anyone could let me know what files and instructions i need to go from cm10 to cm10.1?
Many thanks

You don't say which device you are using, HD or HD+. If you are running verygreen's old legacy HD+ SD setup, you need to update to his new SD setup. He uses a different SD scheme now that operates much better. So that means you need to start over with the SD. Format it with SDFormatter and then burn his early7.1 image to the SD and follow the rest of his instructions in the thread, including flashing the newer version of gapps. Battery life is much improved.

[Q] CM10.1 restarting overnight and hanging on 99%

Hey guys, Hopefully someone in here can help me figure this out. I was running CM10.1 (from a few months ago) on my nook hd and it was working perfect. It was running off a Sandisk 4gb Class 4 card. Well last night I decided to try for a new version of cm 10.1. I used my Sandisk 16gb Class 10U card and got the latest CM10.1 and latest GAPPS and everything went great. I love it. But I woke up in the middle of the night to see the bright white screen from B & N stuck on 99% and draining my battery. I turned it off and back on and it was fine. Then I woke up a few hours later, and again the same thing. Is this possibly due to the change in SD card or something else. Thanks in advaced.

Yes it could be the SD. Since it boots to stock, that means you are running on SD. Whose system? Verygreen or bokbokan? If bokbokan, and not his hybrid, that explains the 99%.

Yes
It is Bokbokan version....And i'm pretty sure I did not do the hybrid setup....do you suggest I try that out and see what it does. Is Verygreen's version any different/better? and Thanks for your help.

You definitely need to move to either the hybrid or verygreen's new SD scheme. Both eliminate the 99% problem. And bokbokan's CM10.2 scheme does too.
But it is your SD that is causing the reboot in the first place. The SD is not reliable and the system panics and reboots. With bokbokan's pure system it will hang at 99% when it does.
Edit: But, be warned, the CM10.1 from bokbokan and from verygreen are different. Bokbokan has incorporated different features. And verygreen has stopped updating his.

Hey thanks so much for your help...I will give the hybrid version a shot. You mentioned the CM 10.2. Any feedback on that. Is it worth it right now to try it out or should I wait a little longer to work some bugs out?

Already running CM10.2.1 on Nook HD+ - is an upgrade to latest CM worth it?

I have been running 10.2.1 on a used Nook HD+ for the past couple of years and it really runs well in general although I am having problems looking at Vine videos sometimes. I see a post on upgrading from CM10 to CM11 without burning another SD from scratch at
ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171
and my question is, have other people been able to do this successfully and is the upgrade to CM11 worth it? Is this the last CM release supported on the Nook HD+ (which as we know is no longer being manufactured)?

CM11 is well worth the upgrade from CM10.x.
FWIW I am been running CM11 nightly build 11/22/15 since it first came out and am very happy with it.

No -- you can find pointers to CM12.1 and CM13 on these XDA HD/HD+ forums.
