[Q] What ROM should i use after install of Manual Nooter? (CM7?)

Im about to install Manual Nooter on my SD card and begin to hack. Assuming everything goes correctly with that.....what ROM should i put on it after?
I hear CM7..now CM7.02 i think is the newest, is supposedly the best and fastest.
I know theres the froyo one as well.
Anyone have any ideas especially if your running one you like, let me know please. Thanks!!

My vote would be for CM7 and the OC kernel. I played around with a bunch of the options and have settled on this as my base.
But it's so easy to try different things I would have to suggest that you try anything that catches your fancy, once you have a good backup of the current base configuration.

The nightly experimental builds are just that, experimental. They may blow up, or not work properly with certain apps, or conflict with the OC kernel. The stable builds are the "officially supported" builds.
What I currently have is a stable 7.02 configuration running with the 4-24 OC kernel and a bunch of installed apps that all work right in this setup. I back it up to my SD card using the"Backup Current ROM" option in ROM Manager (I bought the premium version).
If I update to a nightly I can always go back to that backup if I screw something up. I've only screwed it up that badly once so far

I have everything set up and working correctly (yayayayay!).....but im haveing trouble loading a kernel. Apparently i need an updated CWM on my sd card since i have 3.0.0.5, which is super outdated i think. The 4/24 kernel dowloads and install correctly, but it doesnt affect anything and i can still only OC to 925 through CM7 settings. Soooo im trying to look for the newest CWM so i can dowload and put it on my SD card

You should be able to flash the current version of CWM from the ROM Manager application.

[Q] Can't overclock with nook tweak

On Nook Color Tweaks, I can only tweak the audio settings. The book and CPU settings don't work. When I try to overclock with nook tweaks, it tells me that "Kernel is not compatible with CPU settings. A newer build of Dalingrin's overclock kernel is required".
I'm running the CM7.1.0 RC1 encore with 2.6.32.9 erick at myhost #87 kernel.
Sorry for the ultra noob question, but please help.
Thank youl.

I don't think you are running dalingrins newest kernal. I'm pretty sure it is not the default kernal for RC1.
Sure for dalingrin and download and flash his 6-30-2011 kernel for the nook.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

I'm not sure if that's the right kernal michael.
Might need to get the one before that. If I remember correctly, the rc-1 came out before he adjusted the kernal for the more recent nightlies.

2.6.32.9 seems to be the Dalingrin's OC 063001 kernel, at least on my NC.
Suggestion: it won't hurt if you re-install just the kernel (060301)

I'm running cm 7.0.3.-encore from a sandisk class 4 16 gb card. I've tried updating rom with rom manager to 7.1.0-RC1. Rom manager reboots into recovery mode but never updates the rom. I also dl'ed the 6/30/11 dalingrin oc kernal, put it on the sd boot, and reboot but nothing is updated. Therefore I'm unable to update or overclock the Nook.

Re: my earlier problem, I was eventually able to flash 7.1.0-RC1, install a newer kernal with oc capabilities and oc my Nook. However, I had so many problems with disappearing icons, lockups, etc. that I went back to 7.0.3.-encore. It is much more stable, if a little slower, on my setup.

New owner some quick questions please :)

I have a new nook on its way to me and ive been reading up as much as I can on the potential this device has.
From what I have gathered so far it seems best to install Phiremod on this device.I dont have any real interest in the Barnes and noble software as I prefer Alkido and use this alot on my current tablet. I also want as trouble free experience as possible.
Questions I have are as follows:-
1) Is phiremod v7 worth going for yet? Or should I stick to 6.3?
2) Is it worth upgrading the tablet to B&N 1.2 update and using ManualNooter 4.6.16 to root it or should I stick with 1.11 and use something else? What is best here or does it not matter?
3) Can I use phiremod as my main rom installed to the internal hd and have say one of the honeycomb mods or cm7 run from a sd card? Naturally the sd would need a menu for this.
Many thanks to any help in advance

1) Phiremod is kinda old. I suggest the latest CM7 nightly, or MIUI (which is extremely simple to use)
2) If you install custom ROM, the BN Software is trashed. What's the point upgrading?
3) Stick with a good functional OS on the internal hd (call it the emmc) and put an OS you like but is not stable on the sd card.

1) But what about the latest version? I understand its based on a recent cm7 nightly anyway? Maybe you were not aware of it.
2) Yes this was what I wondered. Thanks for the confirmation.
3) Yes I was thinking this.So I can have say cm7 or a variation on main drive then honeycomb on sd then from what your saying. Thats great. Thanks

I believe Phiremod was built on cm7 and development has either stopped or is well behind. I would also recommended CM7 though. It really makes this device very useful.

Phiremod is just a themed version of CM7. The stable release of Phiremod is based of CM 7.0.3 and the test version of Phiremod is based off cm nightly 110 or something like that.
So yes Phiremod is outdated and the CM 7 nightlies and Miui releases are the most current roms you can get.

Thanks alot for the info guys I will go with cm7

[Roms] CM 7.2 Mod and X1 Elite with market. .32 kernels.

So, this is just the result of my messing around with these roms and tweaking where I see fit. They are both .32 franco kernel based and I flashed and tested both with CWM 5.0.2.6.
CyanogenMod Tweaked
First one is CyanogenMod 7.2 and owes everything to the amazing work by Ezet.
Original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527745 and tweaks are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269 Thanks to Ezet and Knzo
I have tweaked it by building a new kernel and editing the build.prop as well as adding other tweaks from elite rom by terramino. It also has bravia engine built in and a few apps removed. Seems smooth and a little sharper than before. Battery may end up being a little better too. Will have to see.

This is just Terramino's rom with the market put in by default. Original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475687. Thanks to Terramino for all your work.
I have also removed some apps. Why did this rom have three notepads? just download one you like from the market now.

What about a Custom Kernel?
Just for my experimentation, I have made a custom kernel. It has my smartass V2 mods, various other governer mods, SimpleIO enabled and default and a couple of other small tweaks. Just flash it and see what you think. If you want the old one back, just reinstall the rom. It seems very smooth and battery efficient to me.

Superb Work Dude. Can You Please Upload This For U8800Pro And Add Some Screenshots Please.

Will add screenshots sometime, but I don't have a pro to test the rom with if I make a rom. Also which rom did you want me to mod for the pro?

Says SD card available - can't access any of my music or files.
Any clues, I've probably just missed something??

Sorry mate, installed over ezets rom and just done a fresh install too, no problems here. Which recovery are you using? Did you wipe cache/dalvic cache and fix permissions after installing?

2866 in antutu on 1ghz. Think that was a little better than original rom. Can't remember.

Got it sorted, did another set of wipes and it seems to be all good.
Looks like an excellent ROM - nice and smooth.
I've just come back from the .35 kernel which was too buggy for me and and loving this.

great stuff, glad you got it sorted.

Do you gonna update this when CM new releases/updates comes, or this is just one time project?
Also you said you did lot of modifications, but did you tested original ezet rom with yours and did you see any effect? Or something that tells you that your rom is somehow better? I'm just asking because of i want to try but if there is really no way of telling the difference than i will pass it to the next time

I will keep it up to date as Ezet updates his rom. I ran Ezet's rom for ages by my standards but I was just taken by the smoothness, battery life and camera of Mossterra's elite rom x1. I have tried to combine the best of both.
I have tested all the mods thus far except battery life as I only installed it two days ago and it all seems positive, faster and smoother. I put it up so if people thought it was ok, they could use it and feed back.
All I can say is give it a try and if you like it, keep it, if not, Ezet's CM 7.2 rom is fantastic still.
All the changes will be overwritten if you install ezet's rom over this one or vice versa. They are compatible without a full wipe, just wipe cache, dalvic cache and fix permissions after installing.

My last tiny little bug - I have disabled haptic feedback (in both Sound & Cyanogen settings), but I still get vibration when clicking any of the 4 menu buttons (back, menu, home, search).
Thoughts??

Disable in x5 settings maybe? im not sure, I normally have the opposite problem of trying to get haptic feedback on.

Which Apps have you removed from CM7?? - having some issues with the default email client - meaning I can't find it, and restoring backups isn't working for me.

heh... sorry, I removed it as I don't use it. Flashable zip now in first post with email.

Well, looks like I cant get init tweaks to stick so this rom is just bravia engine and some build.prop mods until I can figure out why.

OK, well new kernel is up, will be releasing a new rom with this kernel and some more tweaks and superuser updates as soon as I can get it to upload.

Still using and loving this rom - looking forward to the upgrade

Ok, New rom is up. New Kernel, updated superuser, set permissions for bravia engine correctly. Seems to work very well and smoothly for me.

[Q] Overclock Nook Color on CM 10.1.3

As the title says, I'm looking to overclock after I just flashed to CM 10 after having CM7. CM7 had this built into the CyanogenMod settings, however, it doesn't seem to be there in CM10. After looking around I guess it was disabled due to the kernel that CM uses. Does anyone have a kernel that they can recommend for CM 10 or other ways to overclock? (And yes, I heard SetCPU doesn't have any affect)
Thanks in advance.

The stock CM 10 kernel for the Nook Color can overclock up to 1100 MHz. You need to enable developer settings by going to Settings » About tablet and tap 7 times on the Build number label. The the Performance section will appear in the settings. You can configure the CPU speed from there. There is a test kernel that was posted to the CM10.2 development thread that can overclock to 1200 MHz, that you can flash from recovery; note that some people reported the Nook to be a bit unstable, and others reported it to work fine. YMMV.

Thanks for the tip. I did not know about the tap 7 times thing but that would make it easier to do than installing a new kernel. I may try it later on, though. I know the Nook hardware isn't very capable but anything helps.
