ok so after 3 days of trying, i keep getting stuck on a boot-loop I am asking for some help.
before I begin, I have successfully rooted and installed cm7 on 2 nooks that came factory 1.2,I have searched google and these forums but can't find anything with my specific needs.
I have followed the directions on this thread to a tee:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
i am using a bootable cwm card (2GB) (cwm version 3.0.2.8)
after installing ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip then ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip I remove the sd card and reboot and I get a boot-loop with the "n color" screen animation. It has not booted successfully yet.
I have already used the 8 failed boots method to restore to factory and re-registered the nook.
Then I redid everything again and im back at the boot-loop.
any ideas
i do not have an answer but this answers my question of whether I want to run manual nooter on my 1.3 or try cm7. the cm7 steps seems more intimidating
Well i tried several more times last night with no luck. Then i got brave and just wiped everything (data,system,cache,dalvick) then flashed cm7 and gapps straight from my cwm boot card. I somehow
Ended up with a fully functional nook. App market works. Rebooted several times to be sure. I even tried usb host with my homemade adapter. Mouse, keyboard, and sandisk cruzer all work splendidly thru a powered hub.
My only mistake was i cant find my backup of stock 1.3 rom. Is there one floating around?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to go from CM to 1.3, correct?
From what you've described, I suspect Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8 is your problem. If you look carefully as you format /data in preparation for reloading the BN 1.3 firmware, I think you'll see that the format is actually failing. That version of CWM doesn't handle the partitions correctly.
You want 3.2.0.1. See the edits at the top of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
If you're already on CM7.1, you probably have the correct version of CWM installed. You can save yourself a step by formatting the /data and /system partitions using that, then continuing on with the rest of the procedure for restoring BN 1.3. I went through all this myself a few days ago while preparing to go to BN 1.4.1.
I forgot to mention in my last post that i realized i was using the wrong cwm image and i burned another card with cwm 3.2.01.
I was still getting a boot-loop so i wiped everything and went straight to cm7.

I didn't read your post correctly.
I had a stock nook that i want to install cm7 on. Not the other way around. I asked about a stock 1.3 file just in case i need to do a restore. The nook is done. Its running cm7 just fine and i have given it back to my friend.
I really need to get myself one :-(
I usually mess around with my sons but he's at his mothers for the weekend with it. After christmas im getting one. Dont know if it'll be a color or a nook tablet but im getting one for sure!

If you intended to install CM7 from beginning, then why you wasted time messing around with ManualNooter?
Im still rather new to working on nooks. I thought that it was required to use manual nooter first. Im still not sure.
Can someone clarify for mr. If i just bought a nook and i want cm7 on it, whats the best procedure?

The only boot loop issue I'm aware of is related to Adobe AIR and Flash. The fix is to uninstall them and then reinstall from Market.

I hope you do use Windows at some points.
Let's put it this way.
You bought a PC with Windows XP pre-installed, get home, you don't want XP, so you install Windows 7 on the PC. You just whack the XP.
Same theory applied here, B&N shipped their NC out with the original stock ROM, which is Froyo-based OS. You want to install CM7, which is Gingerbread-OS ROM. You just whack the stock and install CM7.
oh I get it know. so its pretty easy if you want to go straight to cm7 just wipe and flash.
After reading some posts from the nook tablet section, i guess i'm getting a nook color.
what a shame about the locked bootloader :-(
i didnt technically solve the boot loop issue, i just erased everything, but should I mark this as solved and if so how?
The current Nook Color bootloader is not locked. The Nook Tablet's is. I wouldn't necessarily rule anything out, though. The bootloader on the Motorola Droid 2 is also locked, and there's quite an active Cyanogenmod community around it. The only problem is that we're stuck with whatever kernels B&N release, so ICS may be a long way off. I suspect the NC will remain the tuner's machine of choice, but the performance on the NT is very nice. If you can live with a rooted B&N ROM, it's a nice device for now.

No, it seems that some 1.3 based NC units will bootloop if 4.6.16 is used to root them. I'm not sure why. Even after repartitioning to original nook partition sizes, or using CWM 3.2.01 (which supports the new partitioning), it'll still bootloop if 4.6.16 is used. Might be because of the different kernal included, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. They root fine with 4.5.18. Haven't tried one with the new 1.4.1 compatible nooters.
To the original poster;
I'm having the same problem here, installed 4.15 successfully, installed 4.16 and am getting stuck in boot loop at the rainbow nook color screen.
I'm not understanding the 8 boot fail procedure though. Is this when you let the boot loop run through 8 times or when you get to the point of when the boot loop starts, shut the NC off and power it back on?
Also, to install cm7, all you did was put it on your sd card, and installed it through cwm?
The 8 boot method if i recall correctly is when you boot the nook and wait until the splash screen shows up immediately hold the power button and shut it down. Repeat 7 more times. If you did it correctly it should take over and do a restore on its own.
If you want to go straight to CM7 I dont think you need to go thru with this procedure because if you create a bootable cm7 card and insert it in your nook while its off then power up, it should boot you into cwm recovery. Once in the recovery you can flash cm7.

Thank you good sir! I was stuck in boot loop forever and couldn't find a clean explanation of the 8 boot fail process. I always tried to turn it off when the rainbow nook color screen came up.
I got it reset, made a flashable CWM SD card with 3.2 and then flashed CM7 on there and it works great!!
That was very frustrating, thank you!
Dont mention it, Glad to here I was able to help you out. I felt the same way when I was in that situation. Lots of googling to get a clearer idea on what that 8 boot method entailed. CM7 really makes it feel like a totally different device.
To all the devs that work on these projects, thank you

ive recently purchased a nook color version 1.3 and did all the steps to build cm7 on sd ard inserted it into my nook it downloaded then rebot and seem to come up im cm7 but my touch screen isnt working any suggestions?
before I start I really did search for days before... (>_<)
I have a Nook Color Stock 1.3
I follow the Directions from [NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16
I get the boot Loop when I install MN 4.6.16 and 4.6.16a
When I install 4.5.18, whenever I try to search the nook store I get an Error "A Problem Occurred"....
So I at the moment I have a (nook color 1.3/ MN 4.5.18) that wont let me search the nook store Dose anyone know how to fix the store or know how I can get the 4.6.16/a to not get a boot loop on me?
If you followed this guide, you should have installed 4.5.18 then 4.6.16 if you're on 1.3 (see "1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16." mid-way down on post 1 in that thread). From your description, it sounds like you've done only one or the other.

First while I was in CWM I install 4.5.18 then 4.6.16 back to back but I got Boot loop
then I install 4.5.18 did the whole sign in and saw the market and it was all good then went back to CWM and instll 4.6.16 and got the good old boot loop again.
so now Im just on 4.5.18...(>_<)
what about 5.?.?? or something or whatever I haven't seen a post on what that dose...
also i was reading that if you want 4.6.16 to work you need to wipe everything and start with 1.2 but since my nook came fresh with 1.3 I cant do that right?

I'm in the same boat, system is stuck in boot loop after applying the 4.6.16 MN.
I'm somewhat confused about the sequence we are supposed to follow.
#1 flash 4.5.18
#2 reboot and activate tablet?,, or just reboot into recovery?
#3 flash 4.6.16
Do we need to wipe, or can we just flash away? No combination I've tried seems to work.
I experienced the same thing, first with my wife's NC and then with mine. I stayed with 4.5.18 at 1.3 and that got sick (no market). I installed cherry 1.2, rooted with 4.5.18 and was happy. I'm on 1.4.1 rooted and only problem is B&N archived books won't download but so what, everytning is cheaper or free in Kindle. However, as retired IT professional, this software isn't most robust I've seen, but hey, remember Vista?
Hi,
I have the same problem. I tried it several times. First, I flashed 4.5.18 without any problems, step 1-12. But when I did the same again with 4.6.16, I got a Boot Loop. Step 1-8 were possible without any problems.
I did a complete wipe again, it's always the same problem.
It would be great if anybody here could help me.
PS: Sorry for mistakes, I'm not a native speaker.
Hey guys thanks for the info!
Finally I just wipe and started with 1.4.1 wasn't to sure on 1.2
now...
I have the NC on 1.4.1 rooted with MN 5.12.20
and I have no problems from what I can tell!!! YAY!
I did a complete wipe with CWM "format/system format/data format /cache" and install "1.4.1 complete" not the "upgrade" boot it up and enter my Info and went back to CWM and install MN 5.12.20 and no BOOT LOOP! YAY! everything seems cool but I first made sure when it ask for Zeam lancher I tick the box to make sure its default and after the google setup I tick the box again for the "nook home" or something but its all good after that. I have to check the nook store about the archived books but the books I download seems to be good.

I also updated to 1.4.1 and used MN 5.12.20.
B&N store works, Market works, Sideload apps work. This is much easier than fiddling around trying to get root and Market without Bot Loop on 1.3.
Just read there is a new update for stock Nooks... basically gives more comic-reading options.
I currently have a rooted Nook color and don't really see any real reason to want the latest Nook update, but did want to ask: What would happen if i did update? Would I need to root again afterwards?
I know there's guides on previous versions of Nook, but was wondering if anyone had experience yet w/ the latest update.
I just downloaded it to look at it. It is a complete reflash of your ROM. So my guess is it will undo root. And this from B&N:
The NOOK Color Ver1.4.3 update contains new features and enhancements, including:
• Zoom view in comics and graphic novels
• 2-Page mode in landscape for viewing PagePerfect™ and PDF documents
• Other minor system enhancements

Thanks for the reply, very helpful!
Mine just automatically updated to 1.4.3. When I boot up it asks if I want to go to the normal home or the rooted home. I can go to the rooted home and my apps are there but I can't launch Google Play. Also, if I select the N button and then Home it just goes back to the default Nook home and I can't switch back to the rooted home. I have to restart the Nook to get back.
I'm going to try nooting it again to see if that corrects the issue.

I'm in the same state. One of my two Nook Colors auto-updated to 1.4.3 and I'm having the exact same symptoms. The other hasn't yet updated and still works fine. Please share your results
Update:
I used clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 and manualnooter 5.02.19. I reinstalled manualnooter without wiping the Nook and I am back in business on both of them
"back in business on both of them"
Including the google app marketplace? Super cool - the market (and gapps in general) require some things to be in /system to hook into to handshake with the Google servers.
I threw together a super minimal "install su and busybox" rooting tool that lets all of my apps run as I prefer but doesn't include the Market. Nice to know I'll be able to get the Market back as soon as I like.

This is why you're supposed to disable OTA updates when you Root a Device. Otherwise your device will update without your permission or foreknowledge. Usually it'll reset everything in System so you'll loose things like Root and Gapps.
Personally I just run CM9 off my 16gb class 10 SDcard. No OTAs to worry about and I get pure Android, all without modifying any of the Nook's Internal Memory.

My device is rooted but the Market will not download apps. I have followed the guides to clearing the Vending.apk cache and Google Framework Services here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901 but Market is not updating and I cannot install apps.
Even after flashing the two files here: http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...tock/m-p/1356004/message-uid/1356004#U1356004 and then re-flashing MN 5.02.19 I just have root.
Currently I have the standard/stock build.prop. I can push files to /system/app and /data/app but that is getting old. And so far no combination of checking or unchecking the NookTools toolbox is letting me install apps via Market.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have downloaded the update twice from B&N and copied it to the sd card root. Keep getting a message when I try to install the update, using your instructions, that it can't open the archive (bad).
I am trying your method because I can't get the Nook to update normally. I even followed the default NookColor reset instructions then tried to install the update. The update would never even start. Currently sitting at 1.3.0. So I decided to try this CW mod route. More problems...
This update process is getting so frustrating...... I must assume at this point that the archive is bad again. Tried using both IE and Firefox (heard FF causes problems). The CW boot process worked fine so that's not it.
Not sure what more I can do.

You can't edit the zip with archive software. You must entirely extract it, then edit the files, then rezip and re-sign the zip.
To save you the effort, I made a version of 1.4.3 that is CWM flashable and posted it. See my tips thread linked in my signature. See item A12.

Not needed.
I've been using a N2A card to run CM on a Nook HD+. Yesterday I rebooted into the native Nook operating system and upgraded with Google Play support.
The good part is that the apps I got from Google Play are available. I even loaded Nova Launcher to bypass the B&N home screen. It is working well so far. The only trivial problem is that at times (such as going into the settings menu) it does ask again which home screen is wanted.
It also seems faster and more stable. I get a lot of crashes with the N2A card. (The seller did send me a beta late last week which I haven't had a chance to test yet). However, this is not a fair comparison. I have lots of apps set up with the N2A card and very few when booting into the Nook and there is an excellent chance that the crashes come from some of my apps. (I don't mean this to be criticism of N2A--just looking at pluses and minuses of each way of using the tablet).
The negative side of using the new B&N software is that apps other than from the B&N store and Google Play remain blocked. The rare program which I purchased directly from the software writer, along with the few apps I got for free from Amazon which I actually use cannot easily be used unless repurchased from the Play store. I'm also finding that several apps which I got onto the N2A card are listed as not being available for the Nook thru the Play Store. Obviously the advantages of rooting are also lost, but this isn't as important to me on the tablet as on my phone (other than losing the ability to sideload apps).
I'm wondering about the experiences of others who load rooted ROM's from sdcards versus the new B&N software. Any differences in performance from running the operating system directly from the Nook as opposed to the sdcard, and any differences in stability?
If you want to be able to install third party apps in stock, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the Extras zip. It enables unknown sources so those are not blocked.
N2A gets their ROMs here so expect them to act the same.
Battery life is much better with stock. It deep sleeps a lot when the screen is off.

There's no problem installing third party apps when booting with N2A. I'm comparing the updated stock OS which now allows apps from Google Play but unfortunately doesn't allow installation of other apps. If it allowed for the installation of other apps I might give up on booting from the SD to get a rooted tablet and run it as a stock Nook.

I understood what you meant. I was saying you can fix that in the new version of stock by flashing that zip. And you can do that without rooting it.

How do you flash a zip with stock? It certainly doesn't allow that without modification (I would assume rooting).

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And yes, you can do it without rooting. You don't flash with stock, you flash to stock using a bootable CWM card. You can even use the CWM on your N2A card (assuming they left it there when they copied the ROM from here).

With Nook's 2.1 ROM for the HD+, is one required to revert back to stock ROM, update to 2.1, then reapply the Hybrid fix? I'm considering a straight up stock ROM install in any event given the deep sleep, stability and increased responsiveness reported by some, then reinstall the Hybrid SD.
I've read through this and other leapinlar threads (all excellent and worth the read in their own right) and if the procedure is explained, for those running the Hybrid HD, I missed it.
As kudos, Leapinlar's clear explanations, instructions and flashes are at the head of the class, any ROM class, and I've flashed plenty on various smartphones and tablets. Barnes and Noble would do well indeed to make him an offer he can't refuse!
Then again I'd selfishly prefer he'd refuse and continue on XDA.
I'm running CM10 Hybrid SD on the HD+.
Thanks.

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And yes, you can do it without rooting. You don't flash with stock, you flash to stock using a bootable CWM card. You can even use the CWM on your N2A card (assuming they left it there when they copied the ROM from here).

Just got the Nook HD+ today .. reading all the info here and leapinlar .. thank you so much for providing all the fantastic apps to make the tablet even better. I am assuming once I burn the CWM img file you reference in your post (NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.17.13).zip), and use CWM to install the Extras zip, I will be able to install Amazon Appstore on the stock Nook HD+. Also assuming this will also help me sideload apps to the stock Nook HD+.

You do not need to modify or reinstall Hybrid. Just update to 2.1.0. Hybrid will continue to work.

What about performance?
How does the stock updated Nook home compare to CM10 on SD? Which one is faster? Lag? other differences?
I'm interested to see the GPU performance on the HD+. Can anyone show me the HD+ running something like Blitz Buggy or Into The Dead on youtube? I'm very interested in this tablet, at the $179 pricepoint, but I need to know that it can perform first.

Sorry, I can't upload a clip but I have just downloaded and tested Buggy Blitz and it ran perfectly even with the graphics options turned up to max resolution. I saw no hint of frame rate slow down even when the screen was very busy. I hope that helps

I ended up going from Hybrid to straight stock, partly because I accidentally factory reset my CM10 install rather than stock when setting up the update, but also to escape the need to reboot back and forth. I like stock for magazines, but was doing everything else in CM10, and half the time when I picked up the tablet it would be on the wrong OS for what I wanted to do. The worst shortcoming of stock is lousy multitasking without ICS/JB Recent Apps. The stock Recent Apps only seems to register apps/media launched from the stock home screen, which I tried to like but ultimately found too dumb to live.
I accidentally turned off my HD+ when it was downloading the 2.1 update. Now when I boot into stock, I can't get the device to update again. In device information, it just shows the device is updating, but nothing happens. What can I do now to update to 2.1 via OTA?
Also, I'm running Hybrid cm10, is there a way that I can boot into stock without removing the sd card?

To boot into stock without removing the SD, when the cyanoboot logo comes up hold the n key, it will boot to stock.
Unfortunately when you interrupt the download or flash, it thinks it is completed and will not try again. I suggest you download my plain 2.1.0 stock zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. You should be able to flash that with the Hybrid CWM since the zip is hard coded to install to emmc. Do not do any wiping with it though, as it will wipe Hybrid instead of emmc. Just flash is all you need to do.

Running stock coming from CM10 on SD card. Have Apex installed and it is running smoothly. I am rooted with the Extras installed. One issue is that the Nook Video doesn't seem to want to play my UV movies. They start but just sit there in the buffering state. I got VUDU sideloaded so its not that huge of a deal.

I agree with you about stock being too limited. I have been running stock exclusively now since the 2.1 update was installed. I just wanted to see if I could get used to it. I have to admit that I like it a LOT more than the older versions. There are some highly annoying things about it though, which may send me back into the arms of CM10(x).
One of the things I don't like is the inconsistently placed back button, and the fact that it sometimes Disappears entirely as in the stock email app. The only way out of there is the nook (home) button. And the recently used apps is also not nice.
I'm not sure yet but I am getting close to deciding to go with 10.1 on emmc. Just giving myself some time with stock to see if there's anything I'll miss. I like the magazines on stock but haven't been using it for that, so I'm not sure I'd miss it. (I do have a couple print subscriptions that I also get on the nook, but I can probably live without)
I guess the only other thing I need to do is compare the stock nook reading app with the regular nook for android and see if I'd miss anything there. Also, does anybody know if there is a nook magazine reader for android that could act as a replacement for the one on stock?
I just find it amusing that on the same day we got this much more usable stock ROM, we also got the ability to completely remove it from our devices and replace it with CM on the emmc. I wouldn't be surprised if by this weekend I'm running straight cm10.1 on the emmc. Stock still has just a little too many annoyances for me to be completely happy with it. I don't want to "settle".

Hello XDA peeps.
I've had my Nook color for about 3+ years. Have had both my wife and mine running old versions of CM7 on the SD card without issue.
I recently dug mine out to set up for the kids (for a trip we're taking starting this weekend) and first installed CM10 (10.3 I think). loaded and was able to get apps running w/o issue but the poor old Nook and CM10 was so sluggish I felt it was just too much for this legacy device, so I reflashed to the CM7.2.0 [stable]
loaded just fine, but when I went to install GAPPS it installed fine, but will not allow me to access my account now.
no matter how many times I try, it tells me the password does not match for my account.
I know for a fact the password is the right one, and I can get on the Play store just fine on my Galaxy S3 using the same credentials.
I even reflashed the GAPPS to an older version and no luck.
Any thoughts? Really stuck here, since we're leaving Saturday morning and I want to have both Nooks up and running current versions of our boys fav games to pass the time. right now it has no app store, so it's pretty much a stripped Android tablet.

You said you were running CM7 on SD. How did you install the CM10? Then what did you do to get back to CM7? What wiping did you do?

I actually have the CM10 on the root of the device. I thought I had put it on the SD card, but didn't. (just found this out by accidentally powering on the tablet w/o the card in it)
So, currently downloading the CM 10.2.1 update (from 10.1.3), and perhaps it will fix the sluggishness.
I have a third stock Nook that I have not touched in years that I'm going to flash on the SD card...see if I can't get it to CM7.2 w/o any issues.
but previously I had wiped the card twice and attempted to Reinstall CM7.2.
I think the fault lies in the steps I was following to burn the SD card.
Told me to add the gapps AFTER installing CM7
I was pretty sure in the past I put both on the same SD at the same time.
or it is possible the Google two-step verification/authorization is not compatible with the older Market app. I can get on the Play store just fine on CM10 (but it did have me open in the browser to verify the device).

I don't think CM10.2 is going to help. CM7 is the best for NC. I would wipe the internal CM10 you have on there and install CM7 to internal. Be sure to put the right gingerbread gapps on there too.

yes, thank you. I feel anything higher than CM7 just boggs the processor on these dated tablets. For a kids' tablet, it's just fine and will run most of their games/books and it remains snappy. CM10 just feels overloaded. It is sluggish and slow to respond. I'll try to get it moved back to CM7.
I've been trying to flash the other Nook, but after much effort, I have not been able to get it to boot into recovery.
I have the same card set-up, but I cannot get it to start with the card....constantly goes to the B&N root.

Sometimes it is difficult to get the NC to boot from an SD. See my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read section A9.

Thanks Leapinlar,
Still running into issues. now on BOTH Nooks.
I was pretty sure I remember something about an updated B&N ROM that was signaled with a Green sticker on the box, which the troublesome boot one has.
I am using the generic_sdcard_v1.3.img + cm-7.2.0-encore.zip + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip all being burned via Terminal on Mac.
The only thing that has changed since I was dabbling with these in the past was the CM release.
I am not able to find my original bookmark of the tutorial I used to use (2+ years ago) so I think there might be a flaw in the instructions I'm following now. (for instance, the instructions I'm following now, the dd= command isn't proceeded by 'sudo' and without the sudo command, it errors out when trying to write the generic SD image to the disc (says disc is not available or locked).
gonna keep trying, because I want to get these up and working for our trip...we have 36+ hours of driving over the course of a week, so I know they'll get bored of looking at sights, reading books, watching DVDs, etc. Mainly for my own sanity, since I'll be driving.
**EDIT* i found the original tutorial I used years ago in my trove of bookmarks. It was the original GlassKeys tutorial. gonna give that a shot and report back with my success/errors.
Well, one thing, if you are going to use that old original image file you need to rename the CM zip to begin with update-. That will not help with the booting issue, but will make it so that image will recognize the CM zip.
I have an updated image zip in my updated instructions for NC SD installs linked in my signature.

Thanks. should have mentioned that I did rename the file to "update"
got my old CM10 to boot into Linux penguin and it seemed to be doing it's thing, after formatting the SD card following the GlassKeys instructions, but it is now booting to CM10 still by default and if I hold the "n" key for the boot menu on Cyanoboot and try to boot from SD card (normal or recovery) it just stays on that screen until I power it down.
as for the second, untouched Nook, I did the GlassKeys instructions to the SD card for that and it loaded to Penguin and went through all the install procedures, but now it still boots to the B&N emm setup screen.
wish I had never taken the other to CM10. now I have two Nooks that aren't acting properly.
thing that bugs me is the first one was running fine, just market wouldn't recognize my sign-in...now both are jacked.:silly:
SUCCESS!!!
So thank you goes out to leapinlar!!!
I dropped what I had been doing on my system as far as the files I was burning and read over all your FAQ and tutorial.
I downloaded the files in your how-to and had the tricky OE ROM flashed in a jiff!
The second one is installing now on the peguin screen and JUST now loaded to the CM7.2 bootloader screen.
Still used the GlassKeys instrucitons on how to burn via Terminal on OS X, but used your files (generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.zip )
My original issue, I have found through all this, was that the Market wouldn't allow me to sign in...well that is an issue with the 2-step verification for my Google account I had activated (someone tried to hack my account, so I had it on). Once I turned it off, I was able to open the market and sign in.
Thanks again for your help leapinlar....check this one off!
Going to update both tonight with our boys' fav apps and games and get ready to hit the road first thing Sat morning! :laugh:
If you want something newer I found that cm10.0 was pretty fast on nook color. Better than cm7. Anything newer I also found was to slow and laggy 10.1+. If interested the last nightly cm10.0 rom and gapps are over in the development fourm.
