Your thoughts?
Which is better and why?
Right now I have only just begun to use Mirage. It works REALLY well.
I was using CM7.2 Official and it ran okay but I have seen a huge improvement with Mirage.

Yup. I think cm 7.2 mirage supporting kcm. I have tried cm 10, 11 already, but they couldn't recognize my keyboard cover via usb.
To my opinion MROM is the best CM7.2 based ROM for Nook Color. From my experience it has the best battery life and great overall performance. One can download it here.

Downloading the latest MROM (20131003). Not sure if it can beat Mirage Rom's performance and stability though.

Just curious if anyone has any solid opinions about the 3 roms mentioned. They all seem pretty excellent to me.
Any particular one that you like over the others and why? Or vice versa?

i had been using 7.2 Mirage for a good long time and love it but just saw the MROM and downloaded it last night.. over night the battery life held really well but i always like to give it a few days to see how it goes.. i dont think you can go wrong either way.. CM9 just isnt a daily driver yet.. there are a few builds that have some nice features but just are still glitchy for me..
If I had to change today I would go to Paranoid Android but Mirage-Kang ain't broke so...

Why is that? What's better about paranoid besides the tablet/phone mode thing?

The code is very tight and I like how the people involved in the project do what they do.
MROM gets my vote.

I've been with Mirage-Kang since MiRaGe first introduced it. Last week I went with Mrom and was impressed with great battery life. Currently I have PA on internal storage and getting used to the interface. It has had some crashes primarily because of my voltage settings but all in all I like it. We'd have something if we had the core of Mirage-Kang, the battery life of Mrom and the uniqueness of PA!

May I ask what it is particularly that you like about Mirage over Mrom? I personally haven't noticed anything strikingly different between them.

I had been with Mirage for nearly a year so my factory reset skills were wanting. There were other small annoyances so I quickly went to investigating PA. That said, Mrom has had the best battery life I've seen. I'm currently modifying the voltage settings in PA to see if I can improve the battery life there.

Ay differences performance wise tho?

I'm on my seconde Mirage build. I wwas on 0730 until a few days ago. Tried flashing the MROM, but my device didn't work right at all after that (probably user error, I'm a noob...) so I restored my old setup and then flashed the 0930 build. I can't say I notice any difference in performance between those builds, and battery life is great!
I have had an official 7.2 ROM installed as well, but I like the notification bar better in Mirage, and it felt a little "snappier" when I first installed it. Might be my imagination though.

I have gone back to Mirage because of lagginess and crashes. Can't beat its stability and responsiveness. That said, it's really not a fair comparison because I wasn't on the other ROMs long enough to see if the issues sorted themselves out.
Been going back and forth myself a lot. Mirage really didn't pick up wireless off of sleep well at all, but mrom does this great. It also is somehow lacking all the wall paper options (minor thing, I know, but I don't know how to fix it and wonder why it's an issue).
Performance wise, I see no difference in the two. Haven't had any lags or crashes other than I can't get adbwireless to work on mrom.
I don't get how any of them use internal storage vs an actual sd card, but I think I'm sort of settling on mrom.
MiRaGe and wireless

That was true for me until this latest flash. It's been within 5" since then.
I'm looking to pass a Nook Color off to a younger sibling who is not very technological competent. I am trying to install the most stable, fuss-free ROM available for the Nook Color. I'm not very concerned about feature, but stability and reliability are priority.
Does anyone know what the most stable ROM is currently? Thanks.
I personally would go with the Mirage CM7.2 rom in the development threads. I have put this on several Nooks myself. Very stable.

CM 10 still has a few glitches and lags but Mirage has not given problems.

What is the most stable release for nook color with good performance these days? I am finding some lag in at least two of the CM 10.1 roms that I have tried. Any comments appreciated.

I've tried all the CM9, CM10 and CD10.1 ROMs, and they all lag too much for this old gear and my tastes. CM7.2 (Gingerbread) is still my favorite. My advice... start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873

I tried the various CM 10.1 roms, but eventually went back to MiRaGe 7.2. The lag on 10.1 was annoying but tolerable, but on 10.1 I would have to recharge every night, while with 7.2 I can get a few days use out of my tablet without finding it dead if I forget to plug it in at night.
Personally, mateorod's aosp is amazing. Good battery life, Zero lag. No serious bugs.

I would have to concur with going back to 7.2 and Mirage in particular. 10.x all seemed sluggish, which is a shame because they've done some beautiful work on the roms and getting them to work. If only we could have the 10.x look and functions with the 7.2 speed.
Hi everyone, just wondering which CM would be best for the Nook Color, in terms of performance.
I don't require the extra features from CM10. Since the Nook Color is an old device, I'm fine with running an older version of CM if need be.
I am also looking forward to overclocking. As far as I can tell, CM7 > CM10 in overclocking performance.
Which is best for graphically intensive tasks? (YouTube, etc)
Thanks,
(Can ya believe it? won a Nook Color off eBay for $29 in total, s&h included).

CM7 is still the most stable ROM for the NC. And it overclocks beautifully.

Thanks for your reply. CM7 it is then!
Any benefits of using nightlies instead of stable? (This isn't my main device, so I can play around with whatever ROM without worries).

On CM7 I would recommend MiRaGe Rom from mrg666, It's based on Cm7 with some tweaks. It rocks.

I second the post for MiRaGe. Ran on my nook for a very long time and always speedy and stable. Upgraded to stable version of CM10.1 it's nice but lacks in overall performance compared to CM7 MiRaGe.

Excellent, thanks for the suggestion. I'll install that then.
Obviously the Nook is a little underpowered. I put CM 10.1.3 on it last night and it feels a little bit laggy.
What does everyone recommend as the fastest/snappiest rom for someone not concerned about having the newest coolest version like my wife?
Number 1 response is Mirage CM7. But I've been running CM 10.2 nightlies and am quite impressed. Not quite as good on battery life but nearly as quick and every app I've tried works.

CM7.2 Mirage. Nuff said.
I've tried out many of the CM10 based ROMs. They're not acceptable for me due to sluggishness.
I need PERFORMANCE more than FEATURES. Gingerbread may be somewhat old, but it's lightning fast on the NC.
I can even play HD videos on YouTube thanks to the 1.2GHz OC (from 800MHz).
Thanks guys. I guess Mirage is the answer!
