Why update to 1.2?

My Nook Color is currently at 1.0, running cm7 overclocked at 1300. Is there any reason to update to 1.2? I dont use my NC as a reader just a tablet. Just wondering if it would benefit me at all or just stick with 1.0.
Thanks,
Dave

If you barely use the stock OS, I would just stay on CM7.
The major changes was the addition of the BN app store and Froyo.

[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.

How have roms advanced? opengl hardware acel . etc

I got a nook color when they came out and put cm7 on it, but last year I got a n7 and have been using that since. I was curious how roms have come along for the nook color. Well, really the kernel. Last year I remember there were issues with hardware accelerated ui, hardware video playback etc.
Has there been development on that since last year? It's hard to determine if these are still issues in current roms looking at their long threads.

Most OP's will explain any issues. We have official CM 10/.1. All versions of Paranoid Android. Some CM7 variants. We're just missing MIUI, and PAC. Also HWA works just fine now.

Don't forget that 720p video now works, it didn't before on the cm7 rom.
All that we need now is usb host mode working.

Is the 720p up and working for cm 7.2 by any chance? I just installed the Mirage version of cm 7.2 but I'm away from my tablet and haven't checked it yet. It's been collecting dust for a couple years now, but if the hardware acceleration is there that would really help it get more use in my house.

If you want something new, try Chameleon OS 4.2.2
