ok so i have looked at alot of threads and can not seem to find my answer. so there are 2 nook colors at my local store one is like 199 and the other 250. does it matter what one i get? are they both gonna accept the root? my apologise if this has been answered i just could not find it.
The $249 is an upgraded, faster version of the $199 one. I believe it has been rooted, but the latest software update broke it? Or maybe I read that about the fire.
If money is not a problem I would get the newer one

i just dont want to buy a nook color that can not be rooted to cm7 that would make it a huge let down
From everything that I have read, the New Nook Tablet ($249) has a dual core processor and more ram. It is suppose to be faster at browsing the web and loading apps. But as far as running a CM7 rom on it, I cannot say where they are in the development stage. I assure you if you buy a Nook Color ($199) you will be quite happy with the speed and features of it running CM7 and overclocked to 1.3ghz. Hope this helps some.
so i havent really looked into it that much but i have seen alot of this overclock talk what and how does this work. and is it included in the cm7.

Yes, in the newest versions of CM7, the overclock kernel is built into the rom. Using the cyanogenmod performance settings along with Dalingrins Nook Tweaks app (free from android market) you can overclock the Nook Color to 1.3ghz processor speed. There are many other settings there to adjust external speaker and headphone volume.
so im gonna say thanks for the help. i will have to search now for the new cm7 root i guess huh?

Easy as PIE!
Nook Tablet same screen as Nook Color but dual core CPU and more memory (1GB). Can be rooted BUT has signed boot loader which makes it difficult to load alternate ROMS. Progress has been made using overlay techniques but there is no guarantee there will ever be a really good solution.
Nook Color boots by default from SD if bootable and therefore is very easy to load ROMs onto and easy to recover when anything goes wrong. Single core CPU and 512MB memory but with overclock and efficient CM7 ROM gives a good experience in my opinion. Also available on refurbished market from Barnes Noble with full 1 year warranty normally for around $149 but sometimes cheaper.
So if you want best most up to date hardware and are happy to stay with rooted stock then Tablet is good choice with possible promise of alternate ROMS in the future.
If you want flexibility of alternate ROMS and full control over device and can live with the lower spec then Color is the better choice at the moment.
I wouldn't go with the Nook Tablet as it has a locked bootloader that makes it basically SOL for custom roms. BN also seems be taking an Apple like stance against rooting and installing 3rd party apps.

Where is a kernel that will do 1.3? I've only been able to find one that goes to 1.2.

Hello there XDA I just switched to the Aria from the Captivate. I am new to Android modding, so please bear with me.
I like the phone, It doesnt bother me losing screen space. However it is a bit slow with the 600 MHZ processor.
So if there are some people kind enough to guide me to/through the following it would be appreciated.
1. I would like to overclock it a bit, maybe to 800.
2. General performance tweaks
3. Get rid of Att bloatware
4. Root ( z4root is not in the market anymore and ATT disables side loading.)

Hey Joshua, being new to the Aria as well (less than a month), I haven't looked into overclocking it... but I am running CM 6.1 RC 2, what do I need to do to start overclocking?
Install SetCPU to overclock. I wouldn't go over 825mhz as it starts getting unstable.
As for rooting, search for posts by user asiancuta. He did a really good write up that included a key point I didn't see anywhere else. It's titled NOOBZ: easy guide to rooting your aria.... Read all instructions, and make sure you understand it first.
To install cyanogenmod 6.1 rc2 do a search for That aria - she's so racy!

In the other overclocking thread (or overcloking as the OP spelled it ) several people posted that they were running at 864... what type of instability is likely? Also, doesn't overclocking HAVE to have some sort of adverse effect? Like reduced reliability or an increased likelihood of hardware failure? If there are no adverse effects, why would HTC not set the CPU higher from the factory?
I want to try it, but I feel like I pushed the limits of my comfort zone just by rooting and installing CM...

I always lean on the side of caution when it comes to overclocking a phone. I don't want to fry the processor since I can't replace it as easily as one on a computer.
Processors are never set from the factory to run at their fastest.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
While it might seem odd since all these phones have the same hardware they don't all respond the same to overclocking. Some people can do 864. I can't even get my phone to do anything over 825 and even 825 gives me issues. I like to keep mine between 768-787. Over doing it can cause damage and shorten the life of the processor but keeping it around 800 is probably safe as long as you moniter temps. Heat is the real enemy here. Manufacturers are trying to balance cost, reliability, battery life. Our little phone use a smaller battery and so a lower clock speed keeps the phone running longer. And the aria is a mid range phone, they don't want it to be faster than the more expensive phones. Also Higher clock speeds will drain your battery faster. At 768 the phone is noticeably snappier and the battery drain over stock isn't even noticeable.
Huh. That's good to know, Callmearia. However I don't even know where to start on any of this. I've never 'flashed' a phone or anything like that before.

This is a really good guide explaining how to root your phone and install a custom recovery, Clockwork, with which you can flash ROMs, make backups, and a bunch of other stuff:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788737
You will still not be able to sideload apps just by rooting though. You will need to flash a ROM in order to do that. Check out the Android Development section, it is all there.

I think most people can hit 864 now using CM6.1 RC2. I think some tweaks were made to allow it. Before I was only hitting 825mhz or 844mhz when I ran in to stability problems... but now I have none. Or, it could be due to the fact it's colder here now.
Alright, so after some adb troubles with Ubuntu 10.10, I am now rooted, woo!
So now, where to go from here?
This worked flawlessly and easy. Less than 5 minutes

Take in mind that CM has more customizable features, INCLUDING OVERCLOCKING. Liberated doesn't.
Place the .zip on your SD card. Enter clockworkmod recovery by holding down the volume down button after restarting phone. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache. Go to install zip from Sdcard. Pick the file. It should install. wait, and reboot and continue.
Customize it to your liking. Download apps/widgets
Turn off unnecessary background items. (Auto Sync)
Decrease Brightness
Only use GSM networks

That is the SetCPU for XDA members.
To install, go through ADB in the command line, or download FASTAPP Install from the Market and place the .apk on your sd card and install it from there.

Try leaving the OC alone after the reflash.. It's defaulted to 864mhz and it works flawlessly for me.

Its different for every one. My VM is a local number. You can always just use your phone number.
I recently set my VM to go thru my Google Voice number now.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Using my own number worked.
However, now my phone is freezing randomly, and causing the launcher to hang. (ADW and LauncherPro both do this)
It seems android.process.acore always takes alot of CPU time when it does this.
Definite Newbie question - I've found multiple threads about this, but they all have different start points and I have no interest in bricking the first day.
I have a brand new NC that was 1.1 out of the box. I used Autonooter 3.0 to get root, and then installed Phiremod 6.2.
Everything works great, except that I am now maxed out at 925 mhz. I really want to see how this handles with 1100mhz overclock running.
What is the process to install the OC kernel on top of this? I am new to android, and even newer to CWM. I have flashed it to 3.0.2.8 with ROM manager. I just need a little help with installing the OC kernel.
What say you gents?
For the other newbs that no doubt have this question:
You need to flash only the kernal... Reboot into CWM recovery mode.
The 040411 is the stable 1100mhz... the 042411 is the less stable 1300mhz kernel.
Make sure you grab the appropriate kernel for your install: SD vs eMMC
Save it to the root of your SD card
Once you are booted into CWM recovery:
Wipe the Cache partition
Advanced --> wipe Dalvik cache
Install from SD card - select the kernel zip
Then reboot. You should now have the option to push your NC further.

Yes, the form factor is great. I'd like to hold an 8.9" tablet to see how it compares, but I can definitively state that 10.1" tablets with a 16x9 aspect ratio just feel awkward in my hands.
As for exchanging the Nook for a Gtab, honestly, I'd just hold on to it until 7" dual core Honeycomb tablets become affordable. I doubt you gain all that much with the current Gtab. Plus, the next gen of Samsung tablets look super sweet. Personally, I really like the new HTC tablet that comes with a pen. Great for doodling. If it drops into the $350.00 range, I'm so there.

Tried Opera Mobile Instead? Super smooth for me!
It's also recommended to use interactive as governor under cpu-settings
Is the 4/24 at 1300 stable overall for daily use?
Or is it one of those situations where just some NCs can't handle it and have to bump it down to like 1200?

U just have to try this yourshelf.
Some NC have really difficulty in handling the extra mhz..
My NC's been fine at 1200 Mhz. Too chicken to try 1300. Honestly, even at 1200 we're running 150% of what B&N intended, so even that's a little scary to me. I take comfort in the fact that we're only running these speeds when the processor is being throttled that high, though.
4/24 at 1300 runs fine for me with P6.2. No uv or anything, all stock settings.
I've been using 1300 for more than 24 hours now and I've been playing games on it nonstop as well as checking e-mails etc etc. Anyway, it seems very stable. No issues so far.

Tegra Zone doesn't render properly in HVGA but the screen resolution is not entirely the problem. Installing a game from it crashes the device, probably because it was never made to work with ARM11 chipsets.

I am using an Optimus one Myself and attempted installing this but not only did it fail to install I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now it won't even open upthe app to allow the attempt of the installation of the codec. (basically I attempt to launch it, it fails goes back to menu, this first happened when I was able to launch the program and attempt to install the codec) Now my best guess if I had any is It's incorrect ROM or something. I'm not entirely sure I'm still getting used to this phone. Already rooted it and broken once thus fixing/reflashing. So I've learned a few things. But if someone better then me and I'm sure there are lots of you here could just point me in the right direction I'd be very happy person indeed. Also, If I'm posting in the wrong section I apologize I really suck at this forum thing.

my Atrix was flying before i had to send it in for warranty work a few weeks back. (digitizer) Antutu scores around 7000. the rest of the benchmark tests where pretty high also. When it was returned i immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Now my scores from Antutu are 4500 at best. I am using the exact same rom (Neutrino), and kernel (Faux123) as before. I have tried other roms (cm7 nightlies) reinstalled and full fastboot wipe many times but still the same outcome. The only difference i can see is that i used an different method to unlock the bootloader and root the second time around. Do you think the some of the permission where affected differently the second time around. Am i just overlooking something?

There is a "Boost.sh" script included with Neutrino (I believe in /system/etc) that Notorious recommends be run when you get that "not so fresh" feeling. It is a defrag tool that can be assigned to a widget and should be run every so often.
Also, you will want to see if "Nitrocharger.sh" in the same directory is running as Root at Boot. I have seen big improvements by implementing this.
Both of these scripts came with the ROM, so hopefully you have fast access to them. Good luck to you!

Actually I had the opposite experience. My original phone wouldn't boot with the clemsyn kernel. My digitizer bombed and I received a refurbished unit from repairs. The new unit runs the clemsyn kernel just fine. So I guess it's just the luck of the draw...

As tob said, those "so verry little script" can makes big differences sometimes
I would like to add my personal toughts, for me, the ROM actually scoring higher and higher and feel a litle bit more freshier each week past within the ROM... so my thoughts would be, the cache partition, the more longer the rom is implemented, the more score you'll get cause the cache slowly become bigger and bigger giving you full power to open something tough!
As for the battery, from my experiences, you can't really judge a battery life while you just flashed a rom, you got to wait until the first week to see if there a big changes between the other ROM you came from ... so my guess would be, those scripts and the longer the ROM is implemented on your phone, the more fast and stable it will get, and you will feel the power slowly coming out again!
My bad if I'm completely wrong, but it is my guess!
Hood luck with your "new" phone
i brought up some old Antutu scores and notice that my ram. cpu integar and floating point scores are extremely low. i have tried multiple kernels but still no change. now i am even more confused......doesn't take much. could it be that my cpu is locked so i can not overclock. it kinda feels like its only utilizing one core.
after weeks of exhaustive searching i finally found a fix that worked.

now my antutu scores are back up to around 7000. less lag in app drawer and opening /closing certain app. its back to silky smooth yeehaw.
Im getting nexus 7 in few days and here are my questions:
1. Which kernel you would recommend?I want best performance to be able play games like modern combat 4,nova 3 @ +30-40fps
2. Should i stay with stock ROM or not?If not what you 'd recommend?
3. Do i must have credit card to get 25$ present from google to buy apps in playstore?Does paypal fits?
4. Can i break my device by installing ,using kernels,roms with high voltages?
Thanks.
P.S. I would like to get over 7000 at quadrant benchmark.

1. Franco Kernel is rock solid and has a good balance of performance/battery life.
2. Up to you, but if you like being able to change things, I'd recommend PARANOIDANDROID. You can change between phablet/tablet UI at will. More customizations are coming as well!
3. Not sure, sorry.
4. This device is almost unbrickable -- just read the instructions of the OP for each thing you do and be very methodical and you should be fine. Remember to READ READ READ!
And read!
Enjoy XDA
I recommend you spend the first 30 days on the stock rom.
Just unlock the boot loader (wipes memory) before anything else, and root it if you like.
If you don't know what stock is like, you won't be able to appreciate any differences in custom roms.
As far as I know, the $25 bonus early adapter program ended back in September roughly.
Thanks for the answers.I think that i will stay with stock ROM.But does Paranoid ROM improves overall performance?Waiting more offers for kernels .

Ehh it's more for customization. SmoothROM has great performance though.
Forgot to mention that i will have Nexus 7 32gb 3G version.Does it matters for ROMs and kernels?

Oh, yes -- check the 3G development forum then.

What if i won't use 3G function does that still matter?And what will happen if i will try install ROM or kernel which doesn't support 3g?
3G is important with ROMs only or with kernels too?

The structure is a bit different on tilapia (3G N7) than grouper (WiFi N7). So yes, you should only install ROMs from the 3G forum.

How about kernels?I must install kernels only from 3G forum?And N7 3G is more powerful then simple N7?

About the same power, just a bit different internals due to the cellular antenna. I know some Kernels are for both 3G and WiFi -- they'll be labeled.

Thanks for help.How about elite kernel is it safe to run @ 1.8ghz 650gma for daily use?And will it work for 3G?
Waiting for more kernels suggestions.
P.S. Clicked thanks button for everyone who repplied and tried to help.
Before flashing an overclock kernel try your games with stock, you might find oc is unnecessary. I have yet to find a game that lags and I'm complete stock. In my personal experience across a multitude of android devices custom ROMs don't provide any performance gains over stock, simply added features (most perceived performance gain is pure placebo), though there are some ROMs that decrease performance.
As for kernels, the only area I've ever seen a truly noticeable increase is in benchmarks, games play the same and overall fluidity feels the same.
But if you want rock solid performance with minor added features and big bench scores I'd recommend a combination of rasbean ROM and trinity kernel. That and stock are all I'll run on my g'nex while keeping the 7 stock for now.
Edit: Rasbean doesn't indicate support for 3g version.

Be careful playing with overclocking... That and high voltages can definitely mess up a device.

How can overclocking mess up device?I heard that device only can reboot or something like this,nothing dangerous?

One of the major things that can kill hardware....heat.
Over clocking and over voltage both make the device run hotter.
Too much heat destroys the chips.
Try water cooling...

So what kernel should i use and @ what cpu frequency and @ what gpu frequency to run games as nova 3 ,modern combat 4,asphalt 7 @ +40fps and be safe for hardware?
