[Q] What are the cool kids using these days?

I've dusted off my NC after a few months packed away. I'm pondering loaded a new rom/kernel/whatever. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with what's available and cool development advancements, etc. I'd appreciate some recommendations on the latest and greatest stuff. I'm currently running CM7 with Dalingrin's OC kernel that I got last June. I'd like to get something with bluetooth support (heck, for all I can remember, what I currently have supports bluetooth).
Anyway, thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I am dualbooting from EMMC. CM7 Mirage Kang and CM9 with Open GL. I do not update CM9 that often because it is in alternate and takes about an hour to update total. I do update when a new CM7 Mirage Kang comes out though.
Installing the dualboot setup is a breeze updating primary is a breeze too. It is just a pain for me to update alternate.

Thanks. I'm curious, can you tell me what Mirage Kang is? And what does Open GL buy me? If I wasn't going to dual boot, would you recommend CM7 or CM9?

Definitely Kang, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
CM9 isn't even officially in Beta testing yet.

Mirage Kang http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873 is just a modified build of CM7 that is updated when any useful release is released. So it's not a nightly thing. I love it!
As far as CM9 open gl, I think it has something to do with movies and such. It is not enabled by default on the CM9 nightly so I don't think it would hurt.
I would recommend CM7 Mirage Kang if you are not going to dualboot as CM9 is not really ready for prime time. I have it on mine because it is not hurting my current set up. I actually have alot more space on CM7 than I did when I wasn't dualbooting. I would recommend repartitioning so you have more space for apps and games on EMMC. I would use the 1.96gb scheme as found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 .
Please also note that dual booting is not limited to CM7 and CM9 but it works for almost any combination. Stock, CM7, CM9, MIUI (did I spell that right) etc. So maybe run a rooted stock and CM7 on the same machine.

Thanks a million, zires. I've now got myself a zippy new Mirage Kang Nook with the supercharger and everything.

I had to come back after using this for a while and comment that the battery life is amazing compared to what I used to get. Thanks again.

Whats the fastest rom for out devices?

Like the topic says, which rom is quickest? Im currently running Phiremod 7.2. Its not the quickest thing, but then again, this device isn't very powerful and were using it in a way not intended when this was being developed (the nook)...
EDIT: ... for OUR devices...

Mirage Kang build of CM7 is the best and is getting better. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873 .

Funny, I just looked at that thread before making this one, I didn't really read into it to much, just glanced over it. I think I'll take a look again and try it out.
thank you

i think that's MIUI but unfortunately, it's discontinued developing!

Tried all phiremod version and cm7 nightlies.
In my personal opinion, I am stuck with nightly 233 since I first tried it as it seems to be the fastest for me.

Mirage Kang hands down!
I've been running CM7 on my NC since nightly 34. The 5/27 build of Mirage Kang is phenomenal.

Mirage-Kang has got my vote as well.

I have tried all the roms out there and keep going back to Mirage. Haven't found anything better.

[Q] 10.1 nightlies from sd card

Hello. I am currently running the 10.1 nightly on my Nook Color booting from sd card. Can I update to the current nightly right on the device in the settings or will that mess up the devices software? Im a total Noob in case you didnt notice.
p.s I loved the Noob intro video.
Thanks.

No you cannot do it in settings directly. Go to my NC SD installation guide linked in my signature and I describe how to update to new nightlies.

*Request* Custom Rom

Is it possible to port a CM ICS ROM. I don't like that I can't use my Wii classic controller for games like Dead Trigger on Jelly Bean and I do not want to go back to the modified ICS that comes on the device.

Please change the title of this thread. I originally was going to write a request for stock ui change.

No, CM10 builds are only for sdcard.
Though you can always get my cm source tree, add the emmc changes and make an emmc build

Thanks you so much. Will load up my Linux box when I get home.

Whats the fastest Nook HD+ rom to date?

I have CM11 installed on my nook hd+ at the moment and its decent.
I feel I would like to install the quickest and most efficient rom and kernel.
Does anyone know what rom is quickest/ most responsive.

Ok I'm going to answer my own question.
I have tried the cm 11 rom and it gave me funny flashing screens, not particularly fast.
Cm 10.1 seems to be better stability and speed wise. I am upgrading to cm 10.2 now.

The screen flashing is caused by wallpaper, as users has guessed. Are you using Nova launcher by the chance? As for the question, I use succulent's CM11 for some months already, best rom here. I also run Trim one a week.

I am currently running CM11 snapshot version. Previously I was running 10.2 stable. To be honest, I don't notice any significant difference in performance.
My tablet is new and I have not yet had the need to run trim. Can someone guide me how do I run it if I want to? I couldn't seem to find this info in the trim thread.

I think it is automatic with CM11. You don't have to do anything yourself.

Succulent's CM11 is the best ROM out there, imo.
(And yes, screen flashing is because of a bug in the wallpaper settings. It can be avoided by setting your wallpaper using the "Full Tool" instead of the "Portrait Tool".)

Trim is only automatic if your tablet is plugged in and idle. If you have apps that run in the background it will prevent trim from working. It can be run from the terminal if needed you will need to double check but I think it is Sudo fstrim -v /

I am curious to find out more about Succulent's CM11. His changes etc.
Is there a link to a forum post where this ROM is posted? This is better then just a download link in case he posts newer ROMs.
Cheers,
sb

Yes, here you go: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/cm11-0-kitkat-android-4-4-2-for-nook-hd-xx-20dec2013/
I would recommend the 3/7 build with the 8x8 fuzz kernel.
His latest build has the CM Theme engine bug (which sometimes FC's systemui etc.)

I am no expert. Is there something specific he has done so the UI is more responsive? Why not merge this upstream with Cyanogenmod? Especially all browsers (CM11 M6) could be better/faster.

Bummer. I tried to read the install description for http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/cm11-0-kitkat-android-4-4-2-for-nook-hd-xx-20dec2013/ including the 8x8 fuzz kernel several times. I already flashed CM11 M6 using a tutorial so I thought I will figure it out. But the description just confuses me.
Could somebody please write a short step-by-step tutorial including links to files needed?

To be honest, I'm still using CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2) on the Nook HD+. I'm not too bothered about being on the latest Android version, as long as my current build is stable; which I find CM 10.1.3 is; a stable version of CM 10.2 has been released, and although the TRIM bug is non-existent now, I'm still not risking anything. CM 10.1.3 has not caused any problems whatsoever on my Nook HD+.
The Nook HD (the 7" model) is not affected by the TRIM bug, so I've updated that to CM 10.2; and that does offer a more responsive OS, most likely due to TRIM. I don't think I'll be updating these two tablets any time soon, especially as CyanogenMod are no longer releasing stable builds.

10.2.1 has wifi scanning quirks and I find that the web browser crashes often. So I'm on 10.1.3 as well. Maybe CM11 will be solid one day.
It blows my mind how much work it takes to make Google's Android drops work right.
By the way you can TRIM with 10.1.3 as long as you don't have a bugged EMMC chip. There is a app in the store called eMMC Brickbug Check that will tell you if you do. CM10.2.1 and newer have a kernel patch to workaround this bug but 10.1.3 does not.
