I just purchased a Nook Color from Ebay, and after
I initially followed several posts about creating a bootable SD card to test an alternate OS. The instructions were straight forward, and I was able to quickly create a boot SD. I booted, and things worked, but because my several Kingston MicroSD cards obviously have poor throughput, the performance on the NC was excruciatingly slow and rife with Force Close errors.
So instead of dropping more cash on a more compatible SD card, I decided to just install directly to the EMMC.
I installed the CM9 nightly, (yes, I like living on the bleeding edge) and I must say that I'm impressed. It is a bit sluggish at times, and the touch screen response and accuracy could be better, but overall, I'm pleased. I may revert back to a stable version of CM7 just to compare performance, but until then, I'm quite happy with the results.
Oh, and I set up my DROID Bionic as a WiFi Hotspot, and the NC connects to the Internet without any issue. Very nice!
Sounds like you're doing well.
I was a long term CM7 Nook user and got good value out of that, but switched to CM9 a couple of weeks ago.
Yes, I have lost a few things and the performance / touch response was a little better, but I am sticking with CM9 as it is significantly nicer to use and improving all the time.
Make sure you are over-clocked to 1200 and using Interactive governor to get the best out of it.
CM9
I have tested several nightlies of MC9,I love it except for two big problems
1.Touchscreen is not very responsive
2.Streaming video like Hulu,Netflix,HBO Go and internet TV do not work
So I keep going back to CM7.
Have you also noticed that you sometimes have to touch above and to the right of an icon to get it to work correctly?
It drove me crazy until I figured that one out.
Wow! Those are the EXACT issues I ran into. And so I decided to go back to the stable release of CM7. Performance is like night and day. I can't believe how fast CM7 is in comparison to CM9.
My only real complaint of CM7 is that many apps don't recognize it as a "tablet" so apps tend to look like they do on my DROID Bionic, just in higher resolution. I'm not seeing many apps that display tablet-specific display elements. Not a big deal but kinda disappointing.
I'm not giving up on CM9, though. I may try the dailies every few weeks or so to see how things have improved.
I'm using the "official stable" release of CM7. Has anyone have any good experience with the recent MiRAGE CM7 releases? I tried one from a couple days ago, and had problems connecting to the Market.
I am have those issues as well. However, I am going to stick it a bit longer with cm9 as the nook is not my primary tablet.

I LOVE Mirage! It is so much faster than stock CM7.1.
FWIW CM9 seemed sluggish om my OC'd NC until I accidentally forced another reboot by running the battery down. The animations seemed smoother after that. It may just be perception though, as I wasn't really looking for it.
Installing using ROM Manager?
HI all,
I downloaded the CM9 nightly to update my Nook Color, which is currently running one of the CM7 nightlies, but an a little unsure on how to actually it. Are you using ROM Manager to install the updated ROM?
Currently running Rom Manager 5.0.0.6, which has Clockworks Mod Recovery 3.2.0.1 flashed.
And correct me if I'm wrong. This does include a kernel, right? I'm assuming I cannot run the 2.6.32.9 kernel I'm currently using in CM7 with this.
Later,
Robert
Which kernel you are going to use depending which cm9 build you downloaded. There are several modded versions of that kernel out there, and including the open-go drivers or not, etc. Every ROM will contain and run a kernel, and so it is automatically depending on which Cm9 ROM you choose. I believe that every build posted within the last three days or so obtains the newest modded kernel containing the experimental drivers and the patch that fixes the formerly prevalent SODs.
Since you have flashed the current stable CWR, I would flash through the CWR menu. Reboot into recovery, and make a backup. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and then choose zip on sdcard, and choosing your preferred cm9 build. Should be all set. Most flats the builds are basically great, but but if the nook isbyour primary tablet, and you may be glad you have a backup of your current cm7, as some bugs can make it hard to run the ROM daily. Battery issues and some laginess has been reported.
Cm9 seems to improve on an almost daily basis, so if you intend to switch permanently, you will probably want to reflashed to current build every several days. Once you have flashed the cm9 build, upgrading to a newer build only requires wiping cache and dalvik, and which is pretty easy and keeps your settings and data intact throughout. These builds are functional, and but meantnfor those who want tontry the most experimental ROMs and are willing to dream with the bugs and want to reflash the newest builds as they arrive.
Hi everyone
Recently, i've updated my i9000 from cm9 to cm10. But i found it a little bit laggy, there is too much data run in the background and my phone can't just handel it. Some app don't work anymore (i have some message after an unsuccefull update saying "out of memory").
Do i have to wait for further updates or should i go back to the latest CM9 ?
PS: Is there any tips to prevent the shuting down signal problem with the i9000 ?
Hey,
I've had the same feeling about CM10 being laggy on my I9000. Hopefully it's just another bug.
And it is a well known issue that some apps aren't still running yet.
I went back to CM9.1 which runs really smooth. I'm gonna wait for a CM10 stable version and check if it's still laggy.

Yust move apps to SD, CM10 has a new partition layout.. That solve the problem of low space
Try elitemovil rc12.1 which is faster and smooter than stock sgs3

You should try the new nightlies, hardly any lag at all.
All jellybean roms get laggy no matter what you do, I tried most of the JB roms and I used HellyBean for a while with super launcher (a custom supercharge for galaxy s) and it kept working fine because somehow by flashing a new rom version often the phone would stay fine (wasn't just wipe cache and dalvik)
But I'm now back to ICS because even if most of the time the phone is doing fine, when you need it the most it starts failing even overclocked at 1.4 and with performance mode and swap, so I will wait 11 days and buy the nexus 4 !
Jelly bean runs fine on my phone to be honest. No lag or nothing. Only ROM that's ever lagged is hellybean.

My experience is the exact same as the one you quoted.
I believe the clue to having a stable jb is to avoid most of the non-vanilla settings. I.e people come in various jb threads claiming bugs and unstability, while having oced, deep idle, custom kernels with experimental settings, not having wiped, flashed the wrong package - lots of issues that are experimental and not stock and stable.
The question of what is stable is relative, but I'm convinced that the ability to read, knowledge, proper flashing and simple logic would help avoid 9 out of 10 "unstable" jellybean experiences.
I am aware this might come over as a bit condescending, and I guess that's partially true, but it's not directed at any particular person here.

people, CM10 is the best. I've never had such a great rom, I mean, the SGS I is old, but with CM10, oh boy... I've never had such a good battery life, such a smooth rom, and non laggy ( helly bean was a disaster, it lagged a lot and very few updates).
Well, here is my settings:
-> CM10 latest nightly
-> JB hugemem patch (391mb ram and 720p recording still working)
-> Rom Slimmer
-> Semaphore kernel 2.5.0s:
.......- oc 1140 MHz
.......- SIO

i cant believe that so many ppl are busting HB.
laggy disaster?
first of all, HB is a CM10 too.
and beside this HB isnt laggy!
sometimes it depends on the phone, cos a SGS1 is not a SGS1. so many differences available...
best is, just try some JB ROMs and decide for urself!
I never had problems with CM10 . Run smooth .
I think is the best ROM i had experienced on my SGSI .
I installed slimbean (cm10 based) recently on my i9000m and its a tad laggy when I am pushing it but overall its better than the last stock GB rom that I had been on for a long time (got tired flashing this and that). And its stable too. Overall the switch has been nice, for the main reason that I have less of a desire for the SGS 3 (hey there's always the 4 one day right?)
My experience with cm10.1 has been roller coaster. To day it is fast and smooth but yesterday it is leggy and gets stuck. I frequently get popups of applications not responding etc. The i click wait and it gets done.
Before you throw me with rotten tomatoes let me give you the steps that i followed.
Got a brand new i9000 from from a warranty claim a month ago.
Flashed cm10.1 nightly using Cwm after having to work around a few bugs with the new heimdall program not being compatible. But with CWM on I no longer needed the pc.
Download a nightly (26 Feb)
So did a factory reset and wiped everything. Flashed cm10.1 nightly again just to make sure. Then loaded a modem that seems to work for my area. The modem is a XXJVR and is a ICS modem. then flashed Google app for jb 4. 2.2.
Rebooted and logged in. Restored all my sms using sms+ backup and restore
Installed all my preferred application from play Store.
It started nice but soon became slow and large.
So I updated to 10.1m2. Same problem.
At this moment it is workable. It takes about 6 counts to respond to changing from portrait to landscape. If i turn it one the home screen takes about 2 counts to get updated and responsive.
Holding the home button gives you the recent application list. It takes about 2 counts to respond with a vibration and then 2 to 3 more counts before the menu pops up and the list of recent applications have been populate. I don't know if this is normal but 5 counts feels forever when you decide to do something and need to wait for the system to be ready.
I am not over clocking and I am running no custom kernels.
The notification bar at first comes down in jumps. If i do it again it is smooth.
But the biggest frustration is typing. The lag between presses and haptic feedback seems to be random. It is always under a half a second but when you want to type you never know if it got the press or not. Just as you think you need go repress the letter updates.
Battery life is also erratic. Yesterday the phone was uncomfortable hot in my pocket all day. Battery did not make 14h. Today it is cool and it is at 73 % for 9h.
The main battery life is taken by android OS and screen. Not calls or any of the chat apps that I use. Yesterday Android OS took half my battery life.
Going to apps the zoom is jumpy and sliding jumps. If i do it again it is smooth.
And today is a good day.
Any suggestions what I can do to improve the performance? Except getting a new phone.
H
I don't think I can quite relate to that, my phone runs CM10.1 quite well...
Had to be said though that I can feel my phone struggles running it, pushing the limits pretty hard.
My phone has the slow RAM, unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of the people posting stories of glory are ones with the faster version.
That said, I could never in a million years go back to an earlier version, I know my phones limits and work around them without too much trouble, mainly browsing (using Chrome) is the one thing my phone struggles with.
But regarding your erratic phone behavior, have you installed a startup manager and better battery stats?
Android battery stats doesn't always do a very good job of reporting exactly what apps or background processes are draining over time...

It been quite some time now, but have you been able to fix your erratic behaviour? Cause I'm experiencing something similar.
I tried Slim JB & Fishears Rom so far. Right after flashing, without any apps, the roms seem to be running smooth but Slim JB soon became laggy so I tried out Fishears Rom which seemed to behave smoothly even after installing some apps.
But after several month of usage the system slowed down almost as much as it was with Slim JB.
As both of them are based on CM I guess it's a general problem that the SGS 1 just can't handle the new Rom + big amout of apps. Sometimes it runs relatively smooth if I cleared RAM etc and didn't start any apps, but as soon as I for example listen to music in the background everything just becomes laggy :-/
I guess after 3 years my SGS1 is just too old now^^

Hi. No I gave up. My first SGS1 was amazing and did not behave like this. I think it had faster ram. Due to some issue it was replaced under warranty. The replacement looks the same but it is very frustrating. I am running stock rom now 2.3.4 with almost nothing installed. But it find that it is a pain. Calling takes long to actuality start to dial. The screens are smooth but when you do things. Like flip between apps or go to dialler it is almost unusable.
I think Samsung release more expensive variations in the beginning and then keep the look the same but drop the cost of the handset to the end.
Hi.
I'm a noob in this custom business and i have a i9000 and i just flashed CM10.1.2 and everything is ok but i want to use igo and after install i get an error about the sd card. How can i use igo?
Anyone have a fix for the Snapchat-issue?
As far as I'm aware, this is a CM 10.1 issue.
And by the "Snapchat-issue" I mean that if you go into snapchat and try to use the camera everything is fine. Then if you go into the list over your recieved\sent snaps, then back to the camera again; it gets 0.1 FPS. Impossible to use it.
Currently I'm using stock over CM solely due to this reason.
And yes, I have tried several versions of different ROMs with Android 4.2.2;
Official CM 10.1, FXP 225\226, Avatar based off CM10.1, you name it.
Also have tried to remove the app completely and reinstalling it ofcourse.
So far no luck except changing back to stock ROM.
Then it works just fine.
The frontal camera is still awful ofcourse, but this is Sony's fault
I had that problem as well, and if I remember correctly, in the very short amount of time I was on CM (i.e. One day, switched back due to the terrible battery life), I figured that you can just go into developer options and enable hardware overlays or force gpu rendering (one of those two) and it'd work fine. However, that just leads to even more battery drain :/
Tapatalked from my Xperia V
So here's my issue: I am rooted and unlocked bootloader with TrickDroid 9.0. This is the only Rom with which everything is smooth and fast. When I flash TrickDroid 10.0, 11.0, Android Revolution HD, and even CyanogenMod, when I pull down the notification bar, and also with certain apps, most notably Yahoo Fantasy Hockey, I get insane scroll lag. Everything is ridiculously choppy and laggy and I can't figure out why there is such a difference between Rom versions when the older Trickdroid runs smoothly. This has been keeping from upgrading to 4.3 and up on TD or ARHD, because the lag in ridiculous. I tried forced GPU render and cutting animation speed in half, and still nothing. Anyone can offer any advice? Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum since this is a Dev question.
Hi there.
I installed a version CM12 Tenderloin a few months back. It's pretty good for the most part but I've noticed some minor bugs with it and I'd like to try another ROM. I noticed that the CM12 roms aren't as popular as the CM11 ones based on the activity of the threads. Any particular reason why CM12 hasn't really caught on? What ROM do you recommend, and do you think is the most stable, reliable and fast?
Thanks in advance.
I came today looking to the answer to a similar question: What's the lightest rom currently for HP/TP? I used to use Oat's lite and tasty, but that's been defunct for quite some time. Is there a new hottness?
Try Jcsullins CM11

I have units running both the Evervolv and Pac Man Roms. The latest release of Shumash Pac rom is very stable with great battery performance. They are both a lot more stable than the CM12 roms.

I stand corrected, thanks for the information I will update that post cheers:highfive:
I've tried so many versions over the past few months and my personal consensus is that any 5.0 rom is most stable. However, all I do is watch YouTube and browse internet.
Here's a breakdown of my experiences:
5.1 Roms (PacMan and Evervolv)
Wifi issues: Frequently stops transmitting data. Need to either restart tablet or toggle wifi on/off to reset.
Youtube often will start to stutter and then stops playback completely. Sometimes videos just won't play
General responsiveness is not smooth. Lots of momentary hangs
VPN connects but does no routing (OpenVPN). Leaks my IP
5.0 Roms (Milaq)
Some Wifi issues: not as bad as 5.1 but I will occasionally need to reset wifi
Youtube plays prettty good. Some slowdown on 720p videos but does not stop. Sometimes videos don't play, needs app restart
Smooth UI and app responsiveness
VPN connects but does no routing (OpenVPN). Leaks my IP
4.4 Roms (Milaq and Jscullins)
Very smooth from the get go. LIttle to no pauses
Wifi is rock solid
VPN works as expected
Youtube very often stutters with audio/video and will stop playback until app is terminated and restarted. A real experience killer
Very frequent OS restarts. The deal breaker for me. Happens almost every 30 minutes or so.
So, tl;dr, 5.0 is the best. 5.1 the worst, and 4.4 is middle of the road. No complete rom atm, in my opinion.
5.0 would be my instant recommendation if not for VPN not working. I think it's clearly a lollipop issue as the exact profiles work fine in cm11
Thanks everyone. I hate to revive an old post but I've been really busy and never got around to installing a new ROM yet. Basically I only want to install a more stable ROM so I can give it to my son to watch videos from time to time. He really only uses it for 3 things;
1) Youtube
2) Watch videos I've downloaded for him using MX Player
3) Play kiddie learning games
5.0 actually does the job quite well, but not up to my satisfaction as I'm rather picky. I'd like to increase the battery life if possible, and I do find the performance to be a little sluggish compared to what I had before. Right now on a full charge the tablet can last maybe 48 hours with light use, 24 hours with moderate use, and 4-5 hours if used heavily.
One thing that really bugs me with 5.0 is that if I stream any live videos from sites like vipbox.tv or gofirstrow.eu the audio is always laggy. It works fine if the stream isn't live, but only has a problem if the stream is live. I never had a problem with the old ROM which is why I'd like to go back to 4.0.
So it's been a few months now since I started this thread. Any other new ROMS that people would recommend?
I just installed jcsullins lollipop version. Yes. Working camera! Stable as a rock. Recommended!
I'm using cm-12.1-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip

Read more here
I have tried 4.4, 5.0 and 6.0
6.0 seems the most stable but it is damn slow... youtube plays fine but often experience force closes... same for almost all apps.
4.4 is the fastest but youtube stutter a lot for some reasons; anyone got a fix??

So you really believe that this build gives the best overall experience? I had a pacman lollipop rom on my tp for some years and it worked well but it would shut down some apps sometimes and some apps didn't work at all. I put 7.1.2 evervolv on it and it became unstable and would shut down pretty consistently. I want an os that is stable but can run apps properly and can be overclocked. Can this one be overclocked?
I put this one on but youtube vids were all messed up. Not great for my kids. I guess off to find a better rom.

The user experience is subjective and depends largely on the apps you regularly use. To fix the YouTube issue open the app play a video and go to settings (three dots upper right), set the Quality to 720p. All the builds will overclock if rooted, use Kernel Adiutor here.
I find a lot of apps require at least Android 5.0
Is there a stable 5.0 rom for the TP?
I have two apps on Evervolv 9.0
Wyze cam and Youtube Vanced
Everything seems so laggy on android 9.0. Have followed the guide to increase swap to 1gb, cpu to 1.8ghz, and remove crap from rom.
So i have the same question.
as a bonus, any tips on increasing the maximum system volume would be nice
