I know it is not differnet than the fxp builds but it is the official final version so it should be good. I am flashing it right know, when its finished i will share my experiene. Has anyone tried it yet?
Okay what i can say for know is that its awesome. Everything (not xperia play related) is working fine and even the performence seems to be a little better. Not as good as CM10 but better.
Just flashed it a while ago, and currently those games like Bruce Lee and Crash Bandicoot doesn't work. I think the kernel is the problem (maybe?). Currently, the kernel flashed here is the freexperia one.

No, it's the game not the kernel. There is a gamepad fix (that fxp nor cm ever put it) that fixes some games, but there will always be some games that will never work past stock (aosp based roms) and since devs have no access to that source they won't be fixed
Has CM9 reached the speed of CM7 yet? The last time I tried it was FXP128 and it's just SO SLOW in comparison to CM7. Opening apps happens lightning fast on cm7 and takes a fair while on CM9. Even thing like opening the recent apps popup takes far too long on CM9. Is any of this improved?

Well, it will never be as fast as gb because it's a huge ram hog, but it is in no way slow at all. cm10 is coming along nicely, so you could wait for that if you like

I too thought it was something to do with RAM but the avail. RAM reported in CM7 is around the same as CM9. CM9 said 353 and CM7 says 357.
I took this from "about phone" in the settings, I'm assuming that's available RAM AFTER system use so I don't think RAM is causing the speed issue.
I don't know, but I don't like the CM9. CM10 is much faster and has higher/smoother FPS.
For me:
CM7 vs CM9: CM7 win.
CM9 vs CM10: CM10 win.
CM7 vs CM10: CM7 win for Gaming, CM10 win for Appearance + Features.

Nope. Work for me. I used stable and RC.
Bad, the WiFi issue pisses me off (few days of usage) then I get the WiFi loop, I avoid CM9 based roms now, I'm using CM10.
To those of you using JB on the MT4G: how is it? Stable? Good enough to be a daily driver? Everything important working for you?
I'd love to flash JB on my MT4G but I'm not sure if it's stable enough yet and the ROM threads are long and winding enough that I have trouble following them. I have a phone with the dodgy eMMC chip so I'd rather not spend all day flashing ROMs to try them out myself and possibly killing my phone in the process. I'd love to find a JB ROM that has all major features working and is close to stock JB (I don't like too much bling in my ROMs).
Thanks!

I'm using 0.0's Jellybean port based off the Desire S and it's been going good for the past few hours. Everything works for me, well except that front facing camera. That doesn't work on Jellybean yet. Dropping down the MPs in the camera removes the green line. I also do have the bad eMMC chip but I've been flashing almost every week to see which one is the best for me. I love ICS, especially Synthetic.Nightmare's ROM but Jellybean is getting better so I might try that for a week see how it goes.

JB is great if you don't really need video recording and FFC.
It's stable enough for a DD.
I was using CNA for awhile and then I used Awesome's Toasted Marshmallow since release.
Rocking 0.0's desire S port since he posted it... Loving it so much that I haven't even bothered flashing anything else.
Rock solid on my device. Just need ffc really... But we all know about that.
JB rocks.

There are other viable options than 0.0's ROM like Awesome's Toasted Marshmallow, which many people run and have success as their daily driver. It's really your choice!

I've tried many of them, but I personally like Toasted Marshmallow from ...Awesome... It is a very stable ROM. A couple of items that don't work are Front Facing Camera (FFC) and Wifi Calling, but those are not an issue with the ROM, they are more akin to not having an official JB kernel for the MT4G. I'm anxious for Wifi Calling to get released on another JB ROM so we can port it. Good luck with whichever ROM you decide on.
For those who tried both ICS and JB, how would you rate JB compared to ICS? Much faster and more stable? Currently I'm running on Awesome DarkUnicorn 2.5 and it is very good except for: 1. some camera apps from the market won't work 2. USB tethering doesn't work.

Thank you. So I guess once 3.0 is out, JB would be better than ICS? I didn't experience any UI lag on my ICS. So I guess I will stay on ICS for now.

No. Once 3.0 is fixed to work as well on our devices and all the jb optimizations are added in, THEN jb will surely be better than ics. As is, comparing the UI of jb to ics (aospx) I noticed no difference in UI. Though some people swear its buttery smooth and soo much better... even though its running a 2.6 kernel optimized for ics (not jb)... the only thing I've found to be smoother in jb is the browser.

I've been using Quarx's CM10 build on my Defy+ for the past few days and whilst it's extremely stable and relatively fast, the performance is not quite fast enough for everyday use for me. I was considering instead installing CM9 or CM7, but not having installed either of these previously, I was not sure which would be best. I would prefer to go with CM9 if the performance is significantly better than CM10, but if not perhaps CM7 would be a safer choice? Any other suggestions to increase performance on CM10 would be appreciated also.
In my opinion CM10 is way more faster than every cm9 build i used.
so if you want to increase stability and performance, use CM7
CM7
I've used CM10 but my device was running slow, I've installed CM7, never used CM9.
newest CM10 from Quarx is faster than speeding speedy gonzales!
got 3147 points in AnTuTu. CM10 is more responsive, and with right launcher (like nova or apex) works like a charm

Trust me. CM10 is better. CM7 might be a little better, but I think by the next two update, Quarx will make CM10 just as good..
So I suggest you stick with this for a week or two and decide.

my wifes NC she might want to play around in android but she is a reader and that needs to work well. i tried the latest nightly on a sd card and it felt sluggish, not sure if its because of the card, or the 10 nightly or i didn't play with it that much.
Of these options, for smoothness and less quirks and overall experience, what would be the recommended version to try ??
her version is 1.4.3
thanks so much for the time,

If she just wants access to a few extra Android apps, and they'll run on 2.3 GB, CM 7.2 is very stable and fast. I have been very pleased with the MiRaGe builds. I'm running current CM10 nightlies, and while they basically work, there are a few problems that might frustrate a non-techie (and make your life more difficult as a result). Web browsing, in particular, seems much slower no matter what browser I use.
In the interests of family contentment, I'd stay with CM 7.2 for now. CM 10 will no doubt improve rapidly, so keep an eye on it.
Sounds great, thanks so much for the explination. Mirage I think it will be, but I'll leave it up to her.
Do nightlies turn to release candidate or how do they progress? Not sure I want to update her reader every day, I know she won't. Lol
Will bench her 32g sandisk in the NC, think the pny was super slow in the 4k random bench. Probably didn't help the cm10 impression this morning. At least I know about it.
Thanks again

PNY are horrible for running off SD. Sandisk will be head and shoulders above the pny.
And nightlies turn to RC when the devs think they are ready. They are basically just a special snapshot of a nightly. They set a nightly aside and allow only bug fixes to that one for a while and then convert it to an RC. Meanwhile the regular nightly process continues. And nightlies do not need to be loaded daily. Pick one, and if happy with it, stay there until you have a problem, then try a newer one to see if better.

sandisk flies compared to the pny, it works great !! put the 7.2 mirage on there for a bit, then went to the 10 nightly. she is more familiar with the 10 since ics and jb on her phones. (showed her the alternate boot script, hold power, then press N, super easy and she is glad all her "nook" stuff is there in tact, including her current page in the book she is reading)
thanks for the starting advise, guess i'll be reading for a while, lol

Dear everyone here,
I'm a newbie and bit of a n00b here.
My goal: I have Nook Color and want to put a stable ROM on it. It would be great if it can be stable, fast and Jelly Bean (CM10)!
I know the last official stable CM ROM is 7.2, Gingerbread. Didn't try it on Nook, yet.
I was following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941247 and tried CM10 nighty (ver. 11. Dec 2012). This was my first Nook Color ROM ever. Everything I've tried was ok, but it's very slow and I can't really use it. Are there any ROMs that are faster, with no leg?
So, please guys, who have tried different ROMs, please suggest me a good working (stable) and fast (no lag). CM10 would be great, if not please feel free to suggest (with a link provided).
Otherwise, I would try CM 7.2, which is a "phone" OS, not that suitable for tablets.
Thanks a lot!
you have to remember that the hardware you have only has a stock, single core 800mhz processor. you wont get any smoother than the latest nightly. i suggest that you do a clean flash of the latest nightly and then go to settings>performance>processor and set your cpu governor to performance and set the max frequency to 1100mhz
you have to remember that this is hardware from late 2010, two year old hardware, it performes well, but it cant compete with the nexus devices.

Hello and thanks for your kind reply!
I've done what you suggested: CPU was already set to 1GHz in CM10, I've set it to 1100MHz and changed "on demand" to "performance". Not faster. Or not fast enough. I din't download another CM10 nightly since the one I'm using is just 3 days old.
I'm fully aware Nook Color is outdated in today's fast digital world. However, I'm disappointed it can't go any smoother since this is really to slow and even frustrating (waiting, click, waiting). What's the point of using CM10 if one can not really use it? CM10 nightly's general respond to basic operations (menus, settings) has a lag. Do the others report the same? What with the other CM10 ROMs, like Paranoid Android?
Would it be much better if I would switch to CM7.2 instead of CM10?
I also have ZTE Blade 2010. phone (600MHz stock single core CPU, OC to 800MHz) that works great on CM 7.2. Smooth and stable.
Once again, I didn't try CM7.2 for Nook Color, maybe it would work just as smooth as on Blade.
For the record, Blade and Nook Color almost have the same AnTuTu bench score (Nook is a bit better).
Please note I was using (testing) simple apps on Nook (not games or anything "heavy"):
- Opera Mini browser, News reading apps, ES File Explorer, etc -- works fine.
- Google Maps also works okay, no lag.
- YouTube is slow, it takes ages to swap from portrait to landscape when Nook is rotated. When finally starts playing it goes smooth even in HD.
- Chrome is a killer! Takes ages to load and is not usable.
All these apps, besides Chrome (requires Android 4) work just fine on my ancient ZTE Blade! :good:
I ask all of this since I saw posts on XDA regarding ICS and JB on NC saying "I'm totally thrilled with this version. Haven't had a bug at all, bluetooth functionality is flawless, and it's even faster than the stock software." I'd like the same!
Any hints now? Again, thanks a lot!
The fastest and smoothest ROM you'll find right now for your nook is going to be (mirage cm7.2).

Especially if it is installed on the EMMC, and not running off of an SD Card.
My NC CM10 ROM is installed on EEMC, not SD. Should I forget about speed and smoothness on ANY CM9 and CM10 and go back to a phone OS on a tablet, CM7.2, as suggested?
Should I consider ICS instead JB hoping to get a better result? CM9 instead of CM10?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk 2
I would forget about cm9, and cm10 is still in the works(but making progress). So if your looking for the most stable and smooth ROM, I would go with MiRaGe cm7.2, at least until cm10 has got a stable ROM. Those guys have tweeked that mirage ROM to the point of perfection.lol

Just try the various ones and see what suits your needs the best. Everyone has differing opinions of the various ROMs based on their particular hardware, setups, expectations, experience and the particular apps used.
Only you can decide. It is easy to give them all a try. CM10 and Paranoid Android will perform similarly since PA is based on CM10.. so you don;t have to try both to get a performance feel.
This was in the CM 10 general thread:
soobah said:
Thanks to several people on these forums I now have the Nook color running CM10 fairly responsively, to the point where it doesn't feel all that different to the Nexus7. Huge kudos to the devs on that!
I hope these steps can help others get theirs in the same state. I am using EMMC boot. YMMV so do a backup first.
Firstly, I was having trouble with FC and really bad performance, I traced the issue to something installed on the SDcard (didn't happen if booting with SDcard removed), so I wiped the SDcard, problem fixed.
When installing via clockworkmod (3.2.0.1), I wiped data (aka factory reset), wiped cache partition, (under advanced) wiped dalvik cache. I did not do fix permissions but some suggest that also helped them, pretty sure you need to do that after install though and I've not gotten around to a reboot yet)
1. Settings->performance->interactive
This seems to be the biggest improvement overall. I am wildly speculating that the nook is too laggy at adjusting clock speed in 'on demand' and that is where a fair bit of the sluggishness comes from. I did run with 'Performance' for a while and that is better, and interstingly I didn't find the battery life too bad at all really, so that could be an option for some (I do turn off wifi when not using and that helps heaps with battery).
2. Settings->Performance->I/O scheduler->BFQ (YMMV but worth playing with)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22134559&postcount=4
3. System Tuner app from the Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw
Tweaks->Sysctl->Recommended
OOM (scroll right past memory top line)->Presets->aggressive
I'm on the Nov13 build atm, not feeling like I need to try any later nightly but I might for interest.

It makes the nook run much faster and it has a much better user interface than CM 7
Also run the unofficial build that has a few tweaks that make the nook seem faster with GPU intensive tasks.
i still think the cm10 rom, while experimental, is still the best rom, cm7.2 is old software, it was good at the time, but android4. and 4.1 have alot of enhancements as far as speed, but try 7.2 and compare it. the only person that can tell you what the best rom is, is you.

CM10 might be the best ROM on the paper, due to JB's enchantments over GB. However, this particular CM10 is just slow on NC. Basic use, like navigating through system options, settings, menus -- has a lag (w/o any apps). All the time, every time. I must say I didn't try last power settings your recommended on the previous page, since I gave a try to CM 7.2 (Mirage).
CM 7.2 makes NC responsive and fast. (It won't play HD videos in YouTube, only "normal", that's the only thing I noticed so far.)
Regarding CM10, I can give it a try once again if/when becomes faster. Do you think the power settings you gave me most recently would really boost it? I can flash it again. Or CM9 (ICS), I'm following that one as well. Until then, I don't think it's the matter of choice. After all, we all have the same HW here (even though two versions of NC have some differences, but not in speed).
Lastly, I'm a newbie and I can be very wrong.
I have tested all of them, also various nightlies.And although CM10 looks prettier and have better "menu" options (no need to mount sd card when connecting to PC for example), 7.2 is still the fastest rom on Nook Color.

Thanks for your reply! Great you've tested more ROMs so you're experienced with different versions, their benefits and problems.
Right now, I'm on CM 7.2 (Mirage) and like it, fast and smooth enough.
- What do you think about HoneyComb (Android 3) for Nook? If not, than only HC theme would be enough.
- Have you tried power options settings regarding CM10, discussed in this thread?
- What other ROMs except CM 7.2 (Mirage) are worth of exploring? CM9 nightly?
- How about making a dual boot, so I would have a working CM 7.2 on one, and experimental ROMs on second boot (CM9, CM10). Is that safe? Should I be aware of possible issues? I've never done this, but I saw a thread on that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17834691
Thanks a lot!
Also give v6 Supercharger a try for all ROMs. And, SD Speed Increase with a 2048 heap if you are on 7.2.

there were some tweaks in the thread (don't ask I cannot remember where...) that helped make CM10 very usable. Before that I was using MC-ROM...
For me it is a toss-up: either CM10-12/17/12 nightlie or stock B&N 1.4.3, rooted with ManualNooter 5.8.20.
I believe stock/MN is much faster and more reliable.
CM10 is feature rich, slighly slower, and the mail app is far better than stock B&N.
Hey, do both on emmc.
Install MN by following the instructions in the OP here.
Setup your NC for dual boot by following the instructions here.
And Install CM10 12/17/12 and the correct Gapps.
Personally, my NC has stock B&N 1.4.3 rooted with ManualNooter 5.8.20 on the alternate emmc partition and CM 10-nightlie 12/17/12 on primary. Then I can share the uSD card for data.
