With all the different roms and different versions I'm getting really confused and which roms can do what.
I've tried phiremod v2 and cm7 nightlies and the youtube app doesn't work at all in either. Youtube in the browser I couldn't get to work in phiremod v2. I can watch youtube if I change my user agent to desktop with cm7 nightly but it's choppy.
Can somebody enlighten me as to what I should be running if I want working and smooth flash videos?
This is not an answer to your question -
But if the widespread rumors are correct, then the B&N Stock NC will be updated to 2.2 with Flash by the end of the month, and then if you root that, you will be able to sideload Youtube App for Froyo to that. In fact, the update is supposed to include a B&N Market, and one would expect B&N to have all the Free Google Apps in their Market at startup. (But that's just speculation.)
Flash Player 10.2 working for me
I downloaded Flash Player 10.2 earlier today and it installed and works much better. I am running Phiremod 4.1. I got the APK from: freewarelovers(dot)com/android/app/adobe-flash-player
It's important to remember that Flash is an application framework that can deliver video among MANY other things. If you're looking for a FLV video player, then the performance still is not here: it requires hardware support and we don't have the drivers yet.
BUT, if you want to play games and use interactive websites written in Flash, then try out 10.2. It is WAY more functional.
Interesting. Are you saying that there are no roms with smooth playing flash video? It seems odd to me that everybody is so happy with these roms when they can't watch any flash video smoothly.

To specifically answer your question, smooth video is supported in Eclair (the native Nook rooted ROM) and, I think, it plays acceptably in Froyo; although I could be mistaken.
A lot depends on the size/quality of the video; standard definition (640x480) should play acceptably well in either of those OS versions. Higher definition may stall from time to time.
Gingerbread 2.3 (CM7, etc) still does not have working drivers for the hardware assist features of the chipset, and hardware assist is essential to smooth video playback.
Here are the specs on Nook Color CPU/GPU (from Androidtablets.net):
CPU Processor: ARM Cortex A8-based Ti OMAP 3621 @ 800 MHz (same processor as Droid 2 and Droid X)
GPU Processor: PowerVR SGX530 Graphics Rendering: Open GLES1.1/2.0 Hardware Scaling: 854x480 scaled to 1024x600 Video Formats: .3GP, .MP4, .3G2 ** Video Codecs: H.263, H.264, MPEG-4, ON2 VP7 ** Image Formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP ** (same GPU as Droid 2 and Droid X)
As you can see, the GPU can support a native resolution of 854 x 480 (which is scaled in hardware to 1024 x 600); H.264/MPEG4 video (which FLV is a kind of) can be decoded in the hardware with the appropriate drivers. At present, all the players have to do this through software, which frankly is beyond the capability of the CPU at 800 MHz or even overclocked at 1.1 GHz.
We need to be patient; those hardware drivers will come.
Ok, I think I get it now.
So the stock rom is the only option at the moment for smooth youtube and flash, correct? The Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms do not have hardware decoding support?
So why are so many people running these other roms if they are missing a major function like that? What does CM7 and the other roms do that the stock rooted rom can't? Market?

I am not sure whether the Froyo rom can play video smoothly. It does on Droid and other phones, so I would guess those drivers have been tried out. I had Froyo on my Nook Color for a while, but frankly can't remember how the video was.

It depends on what you need/want. For me, the text handling of Froyo was awful. I have a HTC EVO 4G (with Sense UI on top of native Froyo). On my phone, I can type pretty effectively. The user dictionary is fast and smart and if I make a mistake, I have an arrows-equipped keyboard to move the cursor to the text I want to correct and fix it.
Froyo (Android 2.2) on both my Nook Color and my Viewsonic G-Tablet were nothing like my Evo. The keyboard often got what I typed wrong and when I tried to set a cursor to make a correction, it would end up one letter off. I tried out a bunch of keyboards - some with arrows - and had an OK Froyo-based system, but as soon as a decent Gingerbread-based ROM came along (and Phiremod's is EXCELLENT!), I went with that.
In Gingerbread, you have a much more accurate keyboard and dictionary lookup. The keyboard still doesn't have arrows, but you have a very nice cursor positioning tool, plus the ability to select a little or a lot of text and copy/paste it anywhere throughout the system.
But, as you note, certain of the multimedia features aren't there yet. Since I use my tablets more as very handy computers and less as multimedia entertainment systems, the choice was pretty straightforward for me. I can wait a few weeks for video playback.
And, frankly, the reason a lot of people get excited about roms - and having lots of different roms - is because they are fun in and of themselves. They like to tinker. And with the Nook, if you have a few bucks to buy a couple of micro SD cards, you can have two or three swap-in brains that completely transform your tablet. And take them out and still have a factory fresh Nook reader. It's really kind of awesome when you think about it.
But your mileage will certainly vary. If high definition is a deal breaker for you, you may find the Nook ultimately inadequate even when the Gingerbread drivers (and eventually Honeycomb drivers) come out. There's only so much power under this hood. A tablet based on Tegra 2 (like the Viewsonic G-Tablet or Xoom) may be more what you're looking for. With the right drivers, though, we should get perfectly acceptable 480p playback.

The rom you are looking for is nookiefroyo. I have great YouTube playback in app including high quality. In browser 360p plays fine, but anything above that is choppy.
I also have tested other flash websites. CNN was perfect, as was megavideo.
I purchase my nook a few days ago and thus far nookie froyo looks to be the latest and most complete rom out. That plus the softkey theme I installed and the honeycomb keyboard makes this tablet a force to be reckoned with. I might even have to post a video soon because I'm so amazed atnhow well this thing runs.
I'm on CM7 Android 2.3.3 and am very happy. Not sure if it's the websites I've been on or what, but pretty much all non-HD flash works flawlessly for me. I've OCed my NookColor to 925mhz and have tried probably 5 or 6 different websites (including youtube and zomganime) Certain embeded flash players work better than others I"ve noticed, also, so not sure why that is, but so far I'm very happy. I even was running 3 flash videos (just to test it out) at once the other day, only one was choppy beyond watching. Oh I'd also like to note that it SEEMS to work better with Dolphin Browser, but that could again just be the website(s) I was on.
Sure not having a YouTube app kinda sucks, but the desktop website works fine.
Just a little notice, YouTube app doesn't use Flash for playback, it grabs MP4 version of a video stream, which is meant to play on mobile devices.

As in audio and video actually work smoothly (and are in sync)? What version of CM7 are you on?
I would like to know as well.
I'm on the latest CM7 Nightly and just installed the OC kernel. Youtube videos at 360p are playing ok now, but the audio is out of sync.
I might have to give Nookie Froyo another try. Interesting that the Youtube app works so well for you. I could have sworn that I would just get an error every time I tried to play anything.

Eclair does hardware video decoding but no flash. Froyo and cm7 both do flash and froyo has you tube and video harddware support. However froyo for me at least has buggy wifi and screen of death issues which made it non viable for me. Hope this helps.
From Nook Color dual boot with CM7
That does help. Thanks for the clarification.
I've heard good things about Nookie Froyoa so I will probably give that another try. I find it a little frustrating that there is not a single rom with everything working, but I know that's just the norm for hacking together roms. Oh well... Hopefully the update coming from B&N will help iron out the few issues that are left.
Honestly, most of my time will be spent reading, web browsing and playing a few games. I would just like to be able to pull up a funny video for friends every once in a while. I don't plan on watching movies or anything on it.

Agreed I had thought froyo would be best compromise as it was fast had dsp and flash working, but the sleep of death and wifi connection issues led me to rebooting the thing many times/day which was a real pain.
For now I have a dual boot setup (see thread in development forum) So that I boot into eclair or CM7. This way I do most of my activities in or other rom and reboot into the other when I need say to watch a video or use stock B&N reader.....
Another thing I haven't really thought about. How does battery life compare between the roms? I seem to remember comments here and there about CM7 roms having worse battery life than froyo or stock.
I would suggest to those trying Nookie Froyo on eMMC now to try the kernel posted in post #770 of the Dalingrin kernel thread on the development forum. For myself and several others this kernel is solid and yields no wake or wifi issues whatsoever. Until a more stable interactive govenor kernel is developed this is the one I'll stick with.

Indeed. I'm a nooknoob but long time techie and am brimming with questions. Is that quote accurate -- that reverting to "factory fresh" state can be as simply as removing your SD card? (Because that's not the impression I've been getting; I thought you needed to do the 8 failed boots thing and/or reload ROMs.)
Hmm, guess not. I just noticed the thread titled "[HOW-TO] : Restore Nook Color back to stock EASILY".
I believe you can run most of the roms from the sd card without modifying the internal system. I don't know if you can do it without rooting though. You might have to root, then you an try roms on sd card. Someone else will have to confirm that or tell me I'm wrong , as I've not tried any of the sd card versions.

Version 3.4.2 works nicely on stock 1.1.
Frank
it also works on cm7.. as well as most gameloft apps.
So how do you get it to fill the entire screen. I've got Nova 3.4.2 running but its only filling a small, phone sized portion of the screen.
EDIT: I tried unchecking Compatibility Mode in Spare Parts but although the game now fills the screen it still isn't right. The menu only renders a small part of the screen and when I get in a game a bit of the top is missing.

Mind sharing exactly which games (and their version numbers) that work on CM7? For the life of me, I could not get one single game from them to work. What am I doing wrong...
In my testing against CM7.0.2, all versions of N.O.V.A. HD _except_ 3.1.3 (which force closes) and 3.5.4 (which locks up with a white screen while trying to play video) work fine on the Nook. Ironically, the icon shows up correctly only with 3.5.4 (which again does not work).

Thanks! Interesting to note that version 3.1.3 for the Galaxy Tab doesn't work as that's the one I got. Would have thought similar A8 processor would be a good thing, maybe the slight gpu difference? Gonna test out a pull from a friend's Droid, hopefully that should work in my CM7 Nook.
Has anyone else had problems running Shadowgin on the tablet with gtacomb 3.3?
i just tried it on C+C rom, it runs but has graphic glitches. some objects and path graphics are missing, but otherwise it plays fines
Yep running flashback 10 and it wont dl game data past 25%. Same is happening on alot of HC phones/tablets. My friend is running a froyo rom on his gtab and he said it runs great.
I tried it on Flashback HC rom and it wouldnt work, i then tried it with C+C and it flows smooth except that alot of the background images are not there. I wish someone knew a fix for this. So in other words, the game is playable with C+C but alot of the graphics are missing.

Thanks for the info. i'll definetly try it on the mountain laurel rom.
Will not install past 25% on Gtabcomb 3.3. I think I've just about had it with the lack of a stable honeycomb rom on this tablet.
On Beasty and Clemsyn rom the game (version 1.0.2) can be installed without problems, but it's so f**king slow that there is no way to play to it.
I also think that some objects were missing, but I'm not sure because the gameplay was so slow that I couldn't even move around to confirm that.
Crashes on VEGAn 5.1.1
It installed fine and plays the cut scenes great but once the actual game starts and I start to move my player around and begin shooting my screen gets black for a few seconds and then the desktop appears without any of the icons/widgets on it and runs super sluggish until I reboot it. Sometimes it reboots itself but not always.
This 15 minute refund window sort of blows. Especially with games like this that you have to download additional content (250 MB for this one) that eats up that 15 minutes.
Tried it on CM7 and it crashed too. In fact, it didn't even get as far as when I ran it on VEGAn 5.1.1.
I was on gtabcomb 3.3, installation stopped after 25%, so downloaded sd data from external link but game always crashed upon loading after intro hd movie
then i tried tnt lite, game ws running fine but it had many glitches
then i installed mountain laurel, the game ran quite well and everything was perfect other than the fact that i cannot connect my external ps3 dualshock 3 to it
is there any way to connect it since the sixaxis controller app for gtablet is not able to connect my ds3 with gtablet, it was working fine with gtabcomb....
I tried it on Montain Lauren and I still have mising graphics. It sucks that even games developed for Tegra devices can' work well on our tablet.

That's what im running and I have no glitches or missing graphics. Im using the kernel that came with it. Did u put a different kernel on it? A couple times it ran choppy so I used the task manager and ended all tasks and then it ran smoothly.
im just gonna have to wait till someone updates my ROM.
Used Chainfire 3D with Plug-ins to make it work a bit
I have a gTab running VEGAn 5.1.1 and Shadowgun would crash/force-close/reboot my gTab as soon as gameplay would start. It would play fine for the cut scenes but as soon as the cut scene was finished and you were allowed to move your character around the game would quit.
I almost gave up on the game after I paid money for it but then read about this app in the Market called Chainfire 3D (there a free version and a paid version - the paid version is what I used to make this work). After I installed the free version first and then upgraded to the paid version and then installed the plug-ins (3 in all - I saved them to the root of my sdcard) and then went into the settings for it and selected Shadowgun in the list of Per-app OpenGL settings and unchecked the Use Default Settings and played around with the other settings to see if I could get this game to run. The ones I am using now are Reduce Texture Quality and Disable MapBuffer EMU.
After setting this up I was able to actually play a part of the first level without the game crashing. I've attached the plug-in files as they are a bit hard to find on the net (but you can find them via Google with a bit of luck).
Hopefully this helps some folks.
Update: here's a helpful link with instructions. http://brockhatfield.com/2011/11/01/tutorial-shadowgun-on-non-tegra/
Another Update: After messing with this for a while and actually trying to play through the first level I began to experience crashes and reboots again. So, I've sent the developers of both Chainfire 3D and Shadowgun and politely asked them for refunds. Hopefully they will agree.
I have no problems running it on mountain laurel but I know everyone has their own favorite rom. The only bad thing about chainfire is your losing out on some of the great HD & effects.
Success finally.

After reading your post I decided to make the leap from 1.1 bootloader ROMs to the 1.2 bootloader version ROM you mentioned. It was a real pain due to the fact that each time I installed the VTL Launcher my gTab crashed and force closed like crazy and wouldn't let me even get to the home screen.
I had to hard boot it each time (I tried this three times just to make sure that was the problem) and had to NVFlash to the original 1.1 bootloader rooted ROM and then using ClockworkMod I had to flash the latest stock version 3588 TnT Rom. This gave me the stock restore option which I then used to flash the latest Mountain Laurel ROM from Roebeet.
With Mountain Laurel I am able to play Shadowgun without any of the aforementioned issues and I didn't have to use any third-party apps like the Chainfire 3D app I mentioned in my earlier post. It's not as fast as VEGAn 5.1.1 but I guess we can't have everything.
Anyway, my only issue now is not being able to use the VTL Launcher with this ROM. I've read the posts on that other site I won't mention but I haven't had any luck. Every time I install VTL Launcher and restart my gTab it goes into force close mode and becomes unusable. I read that the ADW Launcher has the same issue with this ROM.
Aside from that problem I like this ROM. It runs everything I ran on VEGAn 5.1.1 and then some (Shadowgun).

Yeah, I love this tablet because it was one of the first out of the gate last year with the hardware that it comes with but I am with you on the frustration. Although I have to mention that I played the entire first level and I didn't notice any missing graphics. I am using the stock Mountain Laurel ROM without any custom CPU overclocking or modified kernels.
I already sold my other gTab and might finally decide to part with this one once I get a chance to play with the soon to be released Asus Transformer Prime with the quad-core chip.
Until then I still get plenty of use out of this one and I thank all of the modders, hackers, crackers, tweakers and coders that have put in all the effort and sharing the results they discovered and developed during the past year to make this tablet truly useful.
I´m new here, and i have a problem...
I have downloaded Shadowngun for my Sony Ericsson WT19i, and everything went well.
The main menu started up smotthly, and when I started a New Game for the first time, the intro showed. I watched the whole intro, and just when I was about to play, the game FORCE CLOSED for no reason! :<
Can ANYONE please help? I am dying to play it!
XBMC works fine on my Nook Color, see details here: http://fineoils.blogspot.com

Mine is 1/4/2013, but if it's not later than 1/12/2013 I think it doesn't matter. I also don't use 1100 kernel which was a reason for too much sorrow with apps, especially with 3rd party apps. For the XBMC on Android, there are some self-help forums popping up. Then, a good XBMC installation may take quite a time for online updating of video add-ons at the first start. Mine get stable after maybe 5 minutes. Every second start and launching other (new) add-on (apart from obvious 1Channel) takes more time.
Then, MX Player should be installed and tuned up first. It also should be started and exited prior to launching XBMC.
Then, tons of streams may not be there at a given time, or at all.
XBMC also works fine on my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 (WiFi-only model) running Irish Gingerbread. No HW rendering though.

Has any of that been integrated into the XMBC nightly, or do your directions still apply for the latest nightlies?
I didn't use XBMC nightlies, I used xbmcandroid.com unofficial build + NEON MX Player of (I think) mid-January. They might have some better builds in their main trunks, but I don't believe these offer anything of HW rendering for TI OMAP3621 as it's above our SoC capabilities once the stream has above 480p resolution or too high bandwidth whatever hits first. Some 720p streams/static files play good enough (22...27 FPS) in SW decoding mode, but that's it, end of a story for poor Nookie.
I might be interested in XBMC-Android + BS Player combos once there will be indications that BS Player can buffer/decode better than MX Player.
TI OMAP3630 in my SGT P1010 is totally equal to Nookie in XBMC handling terms, and there's not a single line of code in GB Android for IVA2 that is replaced with something better in CM10.1 (JB) that I run now in my Nook.
So I just updated my Note9 to latest Pie about a week ago. I like a lot of things, but found a couple really annoying problems. First is that when connected to Bluetooth in my car, when using YouTube Music app, 8 out of every 10 times the song finishes and starts the next track...I get no audio. I have to play/pause or hit next/previous to get audio back. But that's a different issue than this thread...
Second issue I just found is that Game Tuner is now gone. I used Game Tuner before to force some games to use full resolution for a much sharper visual experience. I primarily play Clash Royale and noticed that my game was looking a little blurry again
I found the settings within Game Launcher, but they aren't as good...and don't give you as much control over resolution. Everything is set to highest performance, but I can easily tell that the resolution isn't full as some of the graphics/text in the game are not nearly as sharp as before.
Any way to fix this??? Super annoying... The game doesn't require that much battery as-is and it's annoying that I can't make use of the awesome screen resolution.
The only way is by disabling Game Optimizing Service by using 'Package Disabler Pro ( Owner APP) All Android' in Play store.
Disable it and reboot.
Then all games are now just apps, you can't use Game Launcher/Game Tools. You may disable them too.
But the apps (once games) are now show in full resolution.

And that's the only way to do it at this point? Seems so dumb...
What other negative implications does this have, if any? The obvious one I can think of is that any options for battery savings are not available any longer (which I normally don't really care about anyways).
And I assume this process is reversible, so you can just re-enabling the Game Optimizing service and rebooting to get back to original state again??

The update doesn't seem to change anything... There is an option for disabling/enabling the low resolution. But I get the slightly blurry output regardless of what I set that switch to.
To be fair, when I say it's blurry...it's actually fairly subtle. A couple of my less picky friends couldn't even tell the difference at first...but after looking side by side with a phone running native resolution, they could tell.
I'm picky about visuals/screens, so it bugs the crap out of me. If I have a great screen with high resolution, I'd like everything to look as good as possible. The slightly soft graphics are super annoying to me.
Not happy about this. I haven't tried the previously suggested option for Package Disabler because it seems like a slightly more involved process than I was inticipating...

Do you know of a package disabler for the snapdragon note 9 running pie, stock phone not rooted? Seems like no matter which ones I try they no longer function since Oreo went to pie. If you know of one could you share the play store link as I could use it big time. Much thanks in advance.
