1. 32 GB
2. The vast majority of the nightlies have been stable. The RC is obviously going to be stable. Nandroid your CM6. If you don't like CM7 or find issues with it, restore CM6. Simple.

also when gong to a bigger sd card, can i just copy and paste all the files and have them work as before or is there something more i have to do?
thanks for any comments!

Again, will anymore of the 6.1.1 features like all the custom color pretences , eventually be put into the aria cm7 nightlys? Or are we now limited to this theme Chooser?
Feels like I'm hitting my self in the foot switching to cm7 without all of the 6.1.1 awesomeness.

Just make sure your new card is partitioned correctly and yes you can just copy and paste from old to new. When you install cm7 it will change whatever files it needs to automatically.
I've found cm7 to be very stable and have had no issues.

I wouldn't say that the gapps are optional lmao...because then you'll have 300 people saying "wtf where's my market" k.
also, if they implement it they implement it. if they don't, they don't. if you're not happy with cm7 and are happy with cm6, then stick with cm6.

CM7>CM6 for sure.

Been using nightlys for a few weeks now and they are stable and fast. Very happy with cm7 but battery lasting only 3/4 of cm6

Can anyone explain the major updates/improvements between 6.1 and 7?
I tried to look at the Changelog on github, but its beyond my comprehension. Also, does 7 have the ability to install apps on sd built in? I ask some references to problems with apps2sd in the cm7 thread.
Thanks.

Yes a2sd comes built in.
The problems you're reading about in the cm7 thread have to do with the DT a2sd, not the built in a2sd.
EDIT: I would like to point out that DT a2sd works great for me and i prefer it over the built in a2sd as you can move ANY app to sd and still use widgets etc.. Getting it up and running after a factory reset seems to take a couple tries. That is really the only problem people seem to have with it.

1. Yes, you need a 64gb card to root
2. yes, but you will need a 64gb card for this too.
3. At this time all roms have to be imaged to a 64gb card to run.

I have no idea what he's talking about. You can use any SD card 2gb or bigger. The ROMs currently available are CM7, honeycomb (based off the SDK), and stock 1.2 rooted. For honeycomb and CM7, you can install it on the eMMC or run it off the SD card.
Here are a few links:
1.2 rooted
SD Card installs (ROMs)
Dual Boot ROMs (eMMC)
NookDevs Wiki - Tutorials and other info.
Between those and this forum, you should be set. Extra bits are Netflix on the Nook, and running Tegra 2 Apps. I'd recommend overclocking if you do any of those though - once you overclock to 1.1ghz then everything is fast as can be.

Honestly guys sorry!
I used Tapatalk and wasnt able to understand where exactly i should have posted!
OK thanks i'll check it out. I was reading last week that you can have a ROM on th SD Card and just reboot through that, and if you dont want that, just take out the sd card and you have the stock ROM. Is that true, or not so much?
Because i live in Europe, i dont want to mess so much with NC, as if anything goes wrong i wont have a store near me to go and get some help!

The Nook will automatically boot from the SD card, so I would just pick up a spare sd card to try out one of the ROMs. If you like it, you could install it on the internal memory, eMMC, or dual boot.
The great thing with the Nook Color is it's almost impossible to brick, and everything I posted is completely reversible. Worst case is you take the SD card and run clockwork recovery to restore it.
Just to get the full experience, I would root stock 1.2 with Manual Nooter (look at the link I posted before), so you get the full Android experience with B&N's mods -- best for reading btw. Also, most of the apps on B&N are paid apps, but, on the market they're free. That's an incentive to root right there.

ok thanks for your time!
Great to be also in the Nook family of users now!
Will try it with my 2gb card first and then will buy a bigger one. Would the class of the card have any material differences on the Nook performance?

Check out this thread for the best cards to run from. tl;dr version: any SanDisk class 4, 8GB or 16GB seems to be the best bet.

Which method did you follow for installing CM9?
Is it new or upgrade from other rom?
Produced by NookColor at ICS 4.0.4

Not sure, its one of eyeballers nightlies. And I'm guessing I'm not putting the correct cm9 program on my card, are their different mods for your hard drive then their are for the bootable sd card? Now my problem is that when I put my sd card with cm7 back in, the nook had to reload its stock rom I guess cause when I turned it back on it said something like it was reloadIng original image. Then I had to register it again. What's freaking me out is that now when I run My cm7 sd card, its running choppy, things are force closing in every direction, when before it ran perfectly. Have I somehow shot myself in the foot or is there some way to fix this? Thankyou for your help

Did you use an open GL cm9? I'd almost bet you did. Follow the instructions given by dizzy and leap and it should get you going. I tried updating from cm7.2 to cm9 open GL (I think June 11th) and mine blew up pretty bad. Not even a restore from a back up helped.

CM9 on SDcard install
I've been running CM9 for a couple months now. I installed a fresh image on a Sandisk 16Gb class 4 card using Samiam303's variation on Verygreen's procedure and update occasionally using CM9 nightlies from http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore (see [ROM][NC] Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds - with/without OpenGL). It's been pretty stable, a bit slow at times, but mostly works with the notable exception of Netflix and USB/UMS.
I did run into one other glitch when going from the 6/13 to the 6/20 nightly OpenGL update. MTP stopped working. I tried several different driver configs on my XP machine without success. Going back to the 6/13 nightly brought it back and that's where I am now. LeapinLar solved the problem for ADB by modifying the .inf file which might give a clue to how to get MTP working, but that's stretching my capability. This and many other useful tips are in his post [USER][TIPS]CM7/CM9 User Tips From LeapinLar.

Netflix does not work for anyone. But UMS and MTP should work. For MTP, but sure USB debugging is off in development settings. For UMS, it needs to be checked in settings and when you plug the cable into the PC, a dialog should pop up saying to turn on USB Storage. Be sure to select that.

Thanks to you, TexasIce and the whole Evervolv team, the Jelly Bean preview is awesome And I'm loving using JB on my N1.
Hope some cherry picks will be added in the future once you are done with the merge !
Keep it up ! Cheers

moved to other thread
edit; Just installed P3
It's so much quicker than p2. Keyboard, menus switching apps, everything is quicker. Great release.

My P3 report
Posting here since i can't post in the development thread yet!
P3 is a very very good build so far! Thanks to everyone that contributed!
In my experience everything is working except for:
Youtube(Native app, and Webapp), i did not flashed any patch, it is just P3
Bluetooth, A2DP is partially working. Player controls work, but no audio streaming.
HWA is working very well. Just notice that is not working so well in some
specific scenarios. I will describe here because i did not figure out what is the pattern.
Some UI components are rendered very well others not so much:
Notification Bar. It does not render well in the home screen and Flipboard.
Rotation. Not so smooth as in the latest ICS builds
In the other hand the folder animations and system setting scrolling could not be better!
Of course, this is a preview build and all of this is expected.

Wow. Cant believe how fast this ROM is progressing. Now with trackball wake! Awesome. Thanks team evervolv

Really like these JB builds. Have two major problems (on the Inc) however:
1. Whenever I try to restore an ICS nandroid after installing a JB build, I get a bootloop. Have to reinstall the original ICS system on top and then restore a lot of settings manually. This happens consistently, with lots of different nandroids.
2. Google voice force closes on the 8-3 build.

Did you flash the JB HBOOT when you flashed the JB ROM? If you did, that would be the cause of bootloop because the ICS HBOOT is different size than the JB HBOOT. If you didn't change the HBOOT, then you need to format (a.k.a erase) all partitions before restore the ICS nandroid.

Thanks for the advice. I didn't think there was a JB HBoot for the inc (I realize this is a N1 forum). Actually just flashing the raw ICS build before restoring the nandroid does the trick. It's just a PITA.

Which ROM for me?

I have an old Nook Color sitting on the shelf and decided it is time to do something with it. I want to know which ROM is the most stable with all hardware working (CM 10, 10.1, ASOP, other?). I plan to use it for games, web browsing, and maybe watching videos. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I do plan to run from an SD card if that makes a difference.

If you want stability the most, the MiRaGe CM7 is your best bet. If you need/want a more recent Android, pick the stable CM10 or mateorod's AOSP (which are quite responsive in the Nook even being Android 4.2 ).

I also recommend Mirage ROM. I'm running it and it's crazy fast, especially overclocked to 1.2GHz, animations disabled. I can watch HD YouTube videos with no lagg at all.

I am trying out Mirage CM7 off an SD card and it seems like it will be ideal.
Should I try to install it to internal memory or is there really no point? Are there up to date instructions for installing to internal memory?
If I do decide to just keeping running Mirage CM7 off the SD card, can I still use the internal memory to store/play movies while running Mirage CM7? It appears in estrongs, so I wouldn't see why that wouldn't work.
Is overclocking to 1.2 required to watch youtube in HD?

Yeah I'd say it's worth it to install to internal SD. Overclocking to 1.2GHz helps a lot with video playback. If you're at stock 800MHz, it lags occasionally. The TI OMAP 3621 has a rated frequency of 1GHz, so if you're worried, just put it to 1GHz clock speed max.

Which root method is the easiest? Thanks.

If you are using a non-stock rock (CM, PA, AOSP, etc), then you don't need to do anything — those come with root enabled by default, and Superuser preinstalled.

I found the instructions for internal install. Went perfectly. Seems like no reason not to do that. I guess if I have 8 failed boots in a row, my CM7 install will get wiped and stock will come back? I guess that's not too likely.
Mirage CM7 had an 1100MHz and 1200MHz choice in the settings, so I just set it at 1100MHz to be a little safe.
Seems to be working great.

If you want to keep the stock ROM in the internal memory, but want to install another ROM (for example, CyanogenMod), you can follow the instructions in this thread. You won't have root when booting the stock ROM in the internal memory, but you will when booting CM from the SD card. (Of course you can also root the stock ROM using the instructions from the previous item, and both ROMs would be rooted.)
If you do not want to keep the stock ROM, you can install another ROM in the internal memory, for example following this guide for CM7/CM10. (There is also instructions for installing CM in the wiki page I linked above).
