..fully working Honeycomb? What do you think? Is a fully working Honecomb ROM possible? May it be 3.0 or 3.1 with all those nice honeycomb-native-apps working?

Ha? We have two out already and only zoom has it out really...for the new version. Everybody is working with the prerelease sdk. Those in the development section ARE honeycomb and it cannot yet be full driver ready till the release of source or until new release gets ported over. If you mean from Barnes and noble, I do not know. I am running leaked transformer version and it is smooth as it can be.

Which one is that? I thought that all those Honeycomb images out yet for the Nook aren't smooth at all and have compatibility issues with many apps. And The tablet versions from some apps (like GMail) aren't even working...

I forgot to mention it is on my transformer...not nook I was running leaked 3.1. I found that both of the nook honeycombs where semi solid with for me just to test honeycomb. I knew off the bat they are pre-production HC and I treated them as such. Cm 7 for nook is solid and been very content with it. The reason why a lot of apps have fc is the simple fact there was really no production sdk for development till recently. And how do you develop when you dont have the right environment. I want honeycomb bad...but if it is not there, it is not there...what I want is the new kor-el chip tablet...but I gotta wait till end of year for that. For now, honeycomb is just a toy on the nook and I would not really depend on it...that is my opinion, there are others whose it daily and more power to them. It will take a developer to port it for the nook most likely and that will be off in the near, medium or far future...I do not know.

CM7 on A500?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has thought about porting CM7 to the A500? I run CM7 on my Thunderbolt and love it...and while I know that it is Gingerbread, I would still be interested in checking it out on a tablet. I have read that CM7 has tablet tweaks and stuff.
Unfortunately, I am no dev...however if there are any devs out there who are bored and looking for something to do this might be fun
Thanks!
yup, I bought my iconia last week, and ran a search on the whole iconia forum for "cyanogenmod" and got 0 hits. When I asked about that I got some responses about how CM7 ran on 2.3, so our honeycomb ROMs on 3.x were already more advanced, like they didn't know about google forking Android for the honeycomb line. While I'm enjoying my iconia with OC taboony, as far as I can tell all of the hc changes have more to do with being flashy than functional. I expect we'll see more tablet love from CM devs with icecream sandwich, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at an unofficial port in the meantime.

Thinking about getting a nook, whats stable?

im a android fan boy, currently rocking the nexus s 4g.
i can get a nook for a good deal so im really interested.
i love honeycomb but from what i can tell its buggy?
the dev forum is kinda a mess and i dont know whats new or whats old?
so whats the most stable and fast to use for surfing, downloading apps, typical android stuff.
what honey comb rom is stable?
im just pretty lost, the forum is bulked up with stuff everywhere.
CM7 is the best rom for the Nook period. Go with the latest Nightly as stables are less stable than the nightlys these days and so far behind feature wise it isn't even funny.
About honeycomb: its never going to happen. Ever. Google will not put out the source code and what we have now has been reverse engineered from the SDK and it is basically unusable.

thanks,
i heard overclocked that the nook really flies, and it blows other pads like the touchpad out the water (that is of course until the TP ever gets android ported)
Blindly grabbing the latest nightly may not be the best advice--I always poke my head in this thread and check the last page or so to make sure there's not a rash of trouble reports before I download a new nightly. The vast majority are quite stable, but every once in a while there's a dud. I also generally don't grab a nightly that's less than a day old.
I agree that CM7 is the best rom so far, but I will also suggest to try every rom out there. Flashing a ROM on the NC is extremely simple, unlike say, a Samsung Captivate (I have one).

Since most are based on CM7 and many people start having issues when updating to different ROMS and then trying to go back I would stick with CM7.
What's Stable
I'd have to say that CM7 is the most stable ROM that is available for the Nook Color. I know that the Honeycomb build is coming along, but until Google actually opens up the Honeycomb source it's not going to make the strides you want.
CM7 based off of Gingerbread is an excellent build. ClockWorkMOD (CWM) is now on 3.2.0.1 and supports Nooks with v1.3 firmware.
ManualNooter 4.6.16 - Gain Root
ClockWorkMOD (CWM) - 3.2.01
CM7 nightly release - running Ginergergread #200.
Nook Tweaks - Overclock your Nook and gain some audio fixes. (built in overclock kernal).
The only hiccup I have encountered is the Market issue with CM7. There are various fixes out there, the easiest being to reset your LCD Density. Besides that the ROM is table and works great.
I'd wait for the Honeycomb port to fully "develop" before I start using it.

I think you can start forget about the Honeycomb and keep fingers crossed for ICS.

Sorry to break it too you but honeycomb won't ever "develop" its basically as far as the devs can go without source code.

Yea i dont think anything will come about honeycomb without a source.
look at motorolas without kernel sources.
im running the nexus s 4g now and love it.
coming from a evo, epic 4g, optimus and now the nexus.
truth be told i love android.
im going to try to get a nook for around 125.
unless i score a touchpad for 99.
so its very stable and quick?
i wouldnt notice a difference with lets say a store bought tab (within reason of course)?
Got mine in the summer and started with 7.1.0 ever. Ran that for a month and then got nightly 172 and ben using that since. Running on sd card - SanDisk 16GB, cl 4. I have the occasional fc and reboot about once or twice a month.

Cyanogenmod 9 is coming :)

I actually built cm9 for my wingray a couple days ago just to see how progress is coming. Since most of the custom settings haven't been ported from cm7 yet i didn't keep it long. I do like the trebuchet launcher and a few other tweaks so I'm currently running an unholy mashup of cm9/EOS as you can see in my system settings

awesome mate
any differences in CM9 and EOS
Installed CM9 last night and its running great.
does CM9 have overclocking ability?
Is it going to be an officially supported device or are there just some cool peeps porting it to the Xoom?
Ha. Just wondered into the Dev section and saw the post. Thanks Team Rogue.
Is cm9 more stable thusfar? I went with the very well done EOS. No complaints thusfar but even on nightly 38 grand theft auto randomly freezes and some other games don't seem to work. Luckily most Gameloft games work. I've scoured the net to try and find a fix for gta but I guess if Im patient it'll get fixed in a newer nightly? Does gta play well on cm9?

I'm running the CM9 build because the EOS one wouldn't run some apps (Slingplayer most importantly for me) and so far GTA3 is running like butter at 1504mhz via SetCPU. I did a wipe of my card for unconnected reasons and then re-downloaded the GTA3 data so that may or may not have been a factor.
Damn. I did a full wipe before installing EOS ics so this must be a nightly thing. I just don't know how to feel about cm9 because we're not officially supported. I'm sure the kang release is awesome, but I just started getting my apps in order. Maybe ill jump ship, maybe ill stay where I am. Lol. Thanks.
I'm kind of interested in CM9, but really have no plans to leave the Team EOS rom. While I love CM on my Nexus, I've never had a CM rom Work as completely and as bug free as these EOS nightlies have been. With CM, there always seems to have been a trade off of one thing for another... Unless there is something ground-breaking about CM9??
Damn. I just switched roms and gta still freezes. What the hell? It says it supports ics...

[Q] What's The Best Stable Daily Driver ROM?

I have left my NC as stock non-rooted for the past year and was wondering what the best newest (ICS? JB? GB?) ROM is that is stable enough for daily use without charging/wifi/video problems. I know personal preference is a big part of deciding that but I was just trying to get an idea of what popular options are these days. Just not sure whether CM9 or CM7 or another custom ROM is the best bet.
Primary usage would be Netflix, Nook app, pdf reader, various games and maybe a few productivity apps. Bluetooth isn't important but obviously wifi is.
Thanks for any feedback you can give me.

If you want Netflix, CM7 or one of the variants is your only option. Netflix does not work yet on ics or jb. I recommend just plain CM7.2 stable from the cyanogenmod site.

Ditto
Double down on the ditto. I've tried the CM7.x varients as well as the unofficial ICS builds and, for me, CM7.2 has been the fastest and most reliable.
Went with 7.2 and it's been working great. 2 years out and still up for many things.
