CM7 really slow now...wifes' ipad really fast *&^% - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my cm7 mod nook color is just super slow, responsiveness not good etc..
streaming not good.
I hopped on my wife's ipad and it is lightening fast....
any ideas to super size my nook color? i really do love it, the size, customization etc..
thanks

Are you running the latest version? What tweak have you done to it such as changing to 16 bit transparency and ocing?

The best rom for 'zip' that I have found is the MiRage rom in the development section here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
Then follow the tips in this thread for optimum performance. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443292

Thor's ROM's

Is anyone using Thor ROM v12? I know many folks use his kernel. Wondering how his ROMs rate before I flash and reinstall everything
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I have been using them for a while now and they are very fast and stable.
A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
i use them also and no complaints here.
Do you know if they are hulu enabled? Not a big deal but that's a real plus for Civato's excellent mix ROM
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes they come with no flash reinstalled so you can install a hulufied flash....some games don't work because the build.prop sets the tablet as the eee pad
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
His roms (including v12) are faster than any of the others I've tried. I really have no idea why that is, but I've definitely got no complaints. Plus v12 is themed to look similar to ICS for Tablets.
Best by far. OCd to 1400 with no reboots, no crashes.
Wonder how long before the lock comes...
I guess I'm the lone dissenting voice here. I tried V11 and I found it to be much laggier than Light speed.
Which overclock governor do you use? Also is 1400 significantly decreasing your battery life? stock is pretty fast.
I installed hulu enabled flash from titanium works great.
So far so good

Yeah, I really like the ICS look he put on v12

I'm using the v12, and it works really well! I didn't know honeycomb could be this good. lol One thing I'm having problem with is that I only have 155~250 mb of free ram. On other roms, with about the same amount of apps installed, and not much open, I have about 350~400 mb free, but this rom is weird.. Any advice please?
hrmmm man i need to stop reading these forums ... got me downloading v12 now to try out!
In the past week i've gone: Stock 3.0.1 -> Lightspeed -> Near Stock 3.2 -> Taboonay -> Lightspeed and now looks like i'll be adding thor to that list too haha.. Getting sick of re-installing apps
Wow! Just installed thor rom v12 and gotta say .. none of the other roms have been this quick & smooth straight off the bat.. haven't installed or changed anything yet, but first impression is good ... app drawer, stock apps, switching home screens, etc seems very fast & smooth..
Thor 12
Wonderful. It is heavier in size to download as compared to light speed but after installing and putting same amount of apks its almost the same size on storage search. Wish they could just put a different skin on the browser.
I like thor rom,i go to testing V12
I also do my ikonia use of either the v12 does not work well but the browser crashes FC. but everything else was perfect thank thor now I'm back on v11
Fastest ROM on the A500. Would be even better if build.prop was for iconia and mot the epad IMO.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
ive been running V12 for the past few days running a 1.6GHZ overclock stable as can be. It runs smooth a butter, I've found my everyday driver.
I have noticed that it eats up battery a bit faster than other Roms but I use setcpu to manage clock speeds and all is well.

In the dev section there is a thread with a custom build prop for V12 that makes the tab an Acer instead of an eeepad at the cost of one or two Asus apps not working.
Want to share your setcpu settings?
Do you have a link to that build.prop? I could not find anything. What's the harm in using the Asus one?

Alternate cm7 rom preferences

I'm looking for an alternate rom to cm7. Good battery life is a must, followed by overall performance and speed. There are a few to choose from now, looking for peoples opinions and experiences.

Alien #4 is the best. Very stable. And good battery life. It doesn't have OC kernel, EXT4 etc but its stability is unbeatable.
I've experienced widget missing, rebooting, etc issues in other ROMs, but not Alien.

I'm running the current cm7 stable build, tried weekly 2 but had issues with it so switched back. Haven't tried the nightlies yet. Ive have heard aura is good.
Sent from my CM7 Beta Atrix
Aura is good. My personal fav is The DarkSide by Nottach. It's got some personal tweaks of his and that special black-oriented theme that drive it home for me. Right now, I'm fiddling around with that new 1.4GHz kernel just because I'm that kinda guy, and it requires CM7 so I have the FP reader version on right now (nightlies don't do it for me).
how about a ROM with webtop running?

Go with 2.2.2 froyo if u really need battery life
Problem with Google apps after installing CM7
We all know that CM7 is the best. I installed it exactly as described, but after I install the package with the Google apps, none of the apps actually show up on my phone.
Any ideas?

Neutrino vs Darkside

I know its all personnel preference. But what rom is better. I'm looking for that happy medium for smooth performance with GREAT battery life. I am already running cm7 bat whatever its its alright. I have no need for webtop. HDMI mirrioring would be cool of it was landscape and was stable. And wireless hot spot and working gps is a must. Just wanting to flash something new and stick with it tired of dashing different things and having to set up my phone again any help will greatly be appreciated
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I've noticed 15-18% better battery on Darkside than that on cm7 and I used to get great battery on that one so go figure
Plus, all works here pretty smoothly.
Here's a shot of what I'm talkin about
Sent from my Atrix 4g using Tapatalk
If your looking for speed go with Neutrino. Honestly its by far the fastest rom I have ever used. Battery is great, and the creator is very helpful with any problems you have.
Highly recommended!!
I have yet to be disappointed with darkside was playing around with miui for awhile. probably go to that once development is further along but back to darkside for now

Wow.. I'm on neutrino 1.4s ee, and am lucky to get 3 hours of screen time. That pic it's from darkside? Any special setup for you?

I've bin on DarkSide since version 2.0
Love it so far
right now on 4.4 lite version.
Although with all the cool stuff added on to the newer version it seems just a bit slower to me then back when i was on 2.xxx versions, but they are worth it.
still much better then anything stock though. (maybe it's just me, maybe it's not slower, or maybe it's just my phone, I don't know...)
big thanks to Nottach for such a great work and his time!

Hi all,
i use both, jumping from Neutrino to DarkSide & vice-versa via Nand-BackUp (and trying also others).
Neutrino is so smooth, fast and battery +/- the same as DarkSide.
Anyway i've found the DarkSide surprisingly similar about performance. Then mind that if you like to use WebTop or LapDock ROMs based on CM7 as Neutrino haven't these features.
I like Neutrino but it is more like pre-beta stage to me. It takes too much tweaking to get it to act normal. Currently on darkside 2.8 using landscape hdmi support
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I always keep coming back to DarkSide 4.2 Lite
It's been pretty stable, fast and has all the bells and whistles I need (specially Webtop and Fingerprint Scanner).
I'm hoping that some day I could stick with MIUI once it matures enough, I'm willing to let go my Webtop as long as I can use HDMI Landscape Mirror with my Lapdock.
Miui alpha 3. Best battery life on my atrix out of any custom rom. Only thing is, porn doesn't load from the browser, and games have to be played on silent.
Besides that it's gold.

The Darkside, the best based motoblur. Neutrino, the best ROM. Neutrino is smooth, CM7 based with MIUI camera.
Just flashed neutrino 1.4 some time back. I think the battery is draining rather fast. But i'll let it stick for another week before I go back to Darkside. Motoblur still has a lot of my contacts which won't show up when I install any of the cm7 based roms .
Between Darkside and cm7 I feel Darkside had rather significantly battery life. However, the customizability of cm7 may be worth the sacrifice. To each his own, pick your favorite.

Running MIUI Alpha
Hi I have been running neutrino 1.4s ee for week prior to that cm 7.1. I think neutrino has been quicker generally but it is very stripped down so by the time you have added things back to it think it then seems to have slowed up a bit. Boot is very quick, but my GPS doesn't work. I think they're trying to fix in next update. Quite a few fc's too. Tempted to try darkside soon though.
Edit. And I just had my first random reboot! But for some reason I prefer it to cm...

Best ROM currently

Hey guys, I have an x2 so I'm new to this forum but I want to flash a ROM on my wifes Droid x (used to be my Droid x). What's the best ROM currently (with working camcorder cause that's a big deal apparently)? Thanks everyone!

I like cm7.
I have been using YACK (Yet Another CM7 Kang) for a while and loved the speed of it. Before that, CM7. I believe you stick with a CM7 based rom and your good. You can still enjoy HDMI features also.
Perfect. Thank you. You have a link our URL for yack?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
I am unsure if I am allowed to post a link here, so I will explain how to get to it. Its on RootzWiki site, in the DroidX Development section. It is not in its own sub-category, I believe its on the second page. You should have no problems finding it.

If she is new to android i would suggest Miui due to its user friendliness and its customizability.

I also would recommend MIUI, regardless.
MIUI is probably the most full featured stable rom for the Droid X.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
MIUI is nice, but I prefer the speed and stability of CM7. I always seem to have weird issues with MIUI, mainly bluetooth problems.
I installed YACK on my wife's x based of the recommendation. I found a couple of things annoying but might be a problem with many roms.
The button lights are either always on or always off. I would like them to come on with the screen back-light.
The notification LEDs don't work. I've tried to set them up in the KANG settings but so far haven't had any luck.
And last but not least my wife is on my ass about not having the "Droid" sound. (I can't win!)
MUIU for customization, CM7 is very sleek & stable. I like l
Liberty the best as all stock functions still work, very stable and seems to be the fastest of them.

[Q] Quick Question: Nook as Android Tablet

Just wondering, how does the Nook work as an Android 4.1 or (preferably) 4.2 tablet? Good? Bad? I saw the CM10.1 bugs and stuff, just want a quick answer. If anyone can link me to a thread, I did search but didn't find anything really helpful. Thanks.
It is definitely not going to win any speed records, but it performs well.

Awesome, basically what I wanted to know. Thank you!
CM10 is more stable than CM10.1. Fewer bugs and faster.

leapinlar, may I ask quick question?
I have NC with CM7 which mostly is used by my son to play games and watch video.
I tried CM10 about half a year ago and it was slow...
Is it better now? Does it make sense in my situation to switch at all?
Thanks!

Yes, it is faster than it used to be. But CM7.2 is still fine for games and videos.
