[Q] Best Rom For Reading - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,just a quick question here,Can you guys tell me which rom is the best for reading ebooks or pdf files.Currently,I am using rooted nook color with moon reader pro.I faced occasional lag and crash.So,any good suggestions here?

Probably the best would be Mirage. It's stable and fast.

Can it scroll through ebooks and pdf files without lag and occasional crash?I have tried cyanogen mod 7.2 but purely for gaming.

I nave read much on my nook, so I can't say for sure. All I know is that Mirage is the best performing rom for the nook color. You could flash Pure performancesX and that would definitely help, but it hasn't worked for me on jellybean. You also should run the supercharger script. Nothing on the nook can match supercharged Mirage. Also, I have found that the best governor is interactive and sio or noop for the io scheduler (sio is preferable)

If you want JB, I would check out either the latest CM10 nightly or Gummy with steven's last test kernel.

[Q] Overclocking With HCDR's Kernel.

First, I would acknowledge the great work HCDR has done !
With that done, I would like to resolve some of my doubts.
I just flashed CM7 and then 4.1 kernel of HCDR.Jacob.
SetCPU allows me to set max CPU speed of 768.. I keep it at 691 with on-demand scaling, but it automatically reverts back to 591 over a period of time.
Can anyone tell me why this happens ?!
Also, any insight on how this modes work would be appreciated.
If I want to manually want to force my phone to operate at a certain speed, how do I do that ?
Thanks,
P
If u are using CM7 why are using SetCPU?
CM7 has it's own OC settings features.. settings>> cyanogenmod settings>>>performance>>>cpu settings

Why are you flashing HCDR kernel? It's not necessary to do that anymore in CM7.

Thanks. I did not know that.
Is there anyway, I can revert back to original CM7 kernel. Coz I already flashed that kernel. Does it even make a difference ?!
One more thing, what CPU governor should be chosen ?!
I would want my phone to be auto-OCed when I play games but DCed when idle.
Would "on-demand" be a good choice ?! Or "smartass" is better ?

[Q] Running CM7 nightly. Is there a overclock kernal that works?

Dalingrin's OC kernel thread states:
"2.6.32 CM7 builds currently do not work with the nightlies or stable builds. You must use a test build from the developers thread."
Is there any other option to get OC above the CM7 settings? Would like to test if overclockable to 1200mhz or even 1100mhz stable.
Thanks!!
Download update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-052311
That is OC up to 1200. Using N87 as we speak.

Thank you!!!
This is great news. I also, just now, saw these quotes in another CM7 thread...
delosh said:
This is correct. Don't need to flash u-boot for n86 and on. Just flash the nightly itself, then the 5/23 OC kernel if you want to overclock.

delosh said:
You can just flash the latest nightly right over cm7.0.3, followed by the 5/23 OC kernel if you want to overclock. Did exactly that just today without any problems, and everything is now working wonderfully.

I need to search more next time.
OC'd to 1200Mhz and I am now a super duper happy nooker

What OS are you using for the NC?

What is everyone using? Seems like CM7 is 90% what people are using based on the posts.
Dammit...the last one is supposed to be stock but I can't edit the poll now...
Cm7 baby! Works great.

CM7 from a 16G SD card here!
Tried them all...for me..I am using build 64 of cm and 1.3 kernel from a few months back. Honeycomb was to damn small even with LCD adjust..to slow and not all programs would run.
Cm7 nightlys with the overclock kernel. Honeycomb looked good, but was a little to slow.

CM7 nightly 121....Dal's oc 0618.....on emmc ....SWEET COMBO!!
I say the best setup is Cm7 latest nightly with OC kernel and then dual boot NC 1.2 Rooted Stock.
Useing Phiremod 6.3! Which is a themed Cm7 7.0.3, with dal's 1.3ghz overclock
Might switch to the nightlies though, I wanna try dal's nook tweaks but it doesn't work with my nookie. It also doesn't have usb host support, and for some reason bluetooth no work
CM7 latest nightly with dalingren's kernel off of a 8gb sandisk Had it for a week and it's amazingly smooth and looks awesome!
Been playing with CM7 on an 8GB class 4 Sandisk for a few days now. The more I play with it, the more I like it. I'm starting to consider flipping this around - put stock on an SD and flash CM7 to the emmc...
CM7.1 RC1 with dalingrin's 063011 kernel. It's amazing.
BTW: you've got two options for Rooted Stock.

I've been playing with that one on SD and am liking it more and more. ANd, yeah, I know about the two options for Rooted Stock but I can't figure out how to edit the poll. If you know how, pass it on please.
Go CM7!!! Seriously great work on that, everyone. I've moved it from sd to emmc since it's gotten so stable and the sleep issues were cleared up (also I seemed to be having issues with the sd card). I couldn't imagine going back now.
Sporting a fresh install of CM7.1 RC1 with OC, IMEI patch, Chainfire3d.
I love everything this thing can do and the battery life is awesome!!

Im a big fan of CleanROM, and using untermensch OC Kernel. I've also been playing around with Ultra Fast ROM and using untermensch OC. OC went from 1.6 to 1.7, and its like putting the petal to the metal, even when its running on a modest 1.4 GHz.
Ultra Fast ROM, is a stock ROM, so it has all the bloat, but I went in with a root explorer, and uninstalled all the bloat apps.

Sir, the best rom, kernel or whatever is subjective.Try for your own and decide what suit your needs.

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.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
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,

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.
