Need some advice Nooksters.

So I bought my gf a nook. I am in a weird dilemma on what to install. She wants to do it on her own and finds the default OS on it boring. She needed a tablet. I installed Nookie Froyo which boots from the SD card. I think that may slow down the OS. So heres a quesition break down.
Whats the most reliable ROM? (I think FroYo will be a good OS choice)
What method should I use? Should I make her dual boot?
And anyone wanna warn me about some things?
Shes gonna be doing it all herself while I guide her. And I aint a newbie. Have an Archos 101 and I hang out in the Gen8 forums. Hi tho

Use CM7. It is the best rom out there by far.
If she doesn't like the stock rom then i wouldn't bother with a dual boot.

Someone else may be able to give you more information about the Froyo ROMs available for the nook color.. I personally don't have any experience with them so I can't really contrast the difference between it and the other AOSP ROMS available.
I've had the best experience with the CM7 Gingerbread Roms for the nook color. I'm currently running the 147 Nightly build and I've had no issues with it thus far.
The reason I decided on CM7 over the other available roms mainly stems from the community based around that rom for the nook color. They are actively putting out nightly builds with fixes every few days. As you can see by there nightly repo here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=encore CM7 is a very snappy rom with bluetooth support as well as usb device support in the works as well, I'd recommend you go with it.
As for method I personally just put it on the device itself. Running roms from a MicroSD card tends to be more of a hassle than its worth in my opinion. You've gotta make sure your MicroSD card has a high data rate or your system will be noticeably slowed down. The only time I'd recommend that is if you absolutely love the default nook interface. But from what you stated it seems like she doesn't even care for it.
I don't really have any warnings aside from following directions while rooting. Although if you've already rooted the stock rom via a MicroSD in CWR you can backup your stock, wipe cache/partition and install CM7 and gapps and be good to go. If you do go that route and install the rom to the nook itself make sure you update Rom Manager once your in CM7, you can then flash cwr to the nook so you don't have to have it on a MicroSD every time you want to update your rom.

CM7 it is. Thanks guys. Now I gotta make a step by step guide

NOTE: Skip Step 6 on new nightlies

You might want to hold off for a couple of days. Looks like the next nightly (150?) will have an updated kernel.

Thank you all for the answers. I got CM7 installed on it =]

Give miui a try, I ran the cm7 nightlies for a couple months and all in its a great rom after you make a few tweaks most importantly to me the LCD density.
Once I saw that miui was released for the nook color I tried it out and don't think ill go back to cm7. Its actually based off the cm7 nightlies but the whole ui is modified and think its alot easier to use for someone that is familiar with android a whole lot.
I could go on but do yourself a favor and give it a try.

I have tried almost every ROM for the NC. I would go with CM7, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071, which has been just as stable for me. If you like the Honeycomb interface, use that.

+1 for CM7... fan-freakin-tastic. Use the "Size-Agnostic..." steps to install to an SD card. There's another sticky for installing to emmc (internal memory). The SD path is nice because you can take the card out and reboot to stock, but I found emmc way more stable personally, plus you don't have to worry about having a bad sd card, etc.

CM7 for sure. Real nice, fast, and stable.

I personally use cm7, but you might want to try miui for her.

Without dragging this out too much, what are the specific benefits of miui. Or better yet, what does it give you that you cannot get with the regular CM7 and some tweaks?

It's a different design, very iOS-esque.
Like I said, I myself prefer CM7, but since you're setting it up for her I figured she might like somthing that's a little simpler.
Just try it, not like it's hard to flash a rom lol

miui??

Does anyone know how I can Upgrade my rooted B&N OS 1.1.0 to 1.2.0 (Froyo)

Hi So I've been searching all around on how to do this but I'm having no luck. I know I know why don't I just turn my nook color into a full gingerbread?
Well here's the thing.... I like the Nook Color OS. What I'm running now is 1.1.0 It allows me access to the market and install market apps while still keeping my nook color OS.
But I could just install Nook Color app from the market.... I could but it doesn't work as well as the OS. I like my nook color for the E-book experience mostly. But I read magazine and not all magazine are availble in PDF.
Recently Zinio now is on Android but only in froyo 2.2 and up. I would like to just upgrade the market so I can take advantage of the market and installing amazon app market
I update once but it didn't work. It changed my screen resolution.
Please help

Dual boot the stock rom with a more functional rom(like cm7) if you want more features than 2.1, go for 2.3.4. It is much more of a jump than 2.1 to 2.2(froyo)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053780
or if you are willing to archive your stock nook color, copy it to a fully working sd card, and have nook stock on demand
[ADV][DEV][CWM]Copy Nook Stock to SDcard Image[5/9]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061523
Then you can install any rom you want on the main memory, but have a fully functioning bootable sd stock rom(which I did, and now it just sits on my coffee table)
or, if you are feeling really crazy, find the latest honeycomb rom.. but you can find the link yourself.

Hey thanks I'm really sorry to ask all these noob question. So I tried to upgrade to froyo once and it change the screen resolution. Like you could tell things were slightly bigger is that auto manualnooter?

Maybe, but I doubt it. It MAY have changed the lcd density setting slightly to make the market work better, but it would be barely noticeable. Seriously though, as someone who didn't want to give up the stock rom, get clockwork mod recovery on there, no a nandroid backup, and try cm7 if you want stability and lots of functionality, or miui, or maybe android 3.0.
Personally, the only thing the stock rom does well is read books, but once I found moon reader + I didn't need that anymore, and I can't think of a single other reason to keep the stock around anymore.

This
but don't use honeycomb (android 3.0) It's full of bugs and glitches because google will not release the source code.

Mirroring Nexus 7 Screen using Raspberry Pi Tutorial?

Possible to create a tutorial in creating mirroring for Nexus 7?
Link:
http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/

There's a tutorial in their site, i don't understand what you're asking 0_o

Are you looking for a noob guide?
Are you wanting a noob guide? If so I could make one, unless someone else finished their own already/before me.
If you haven't all ready, for now, root your nexus 7. And if you haven't all ready, install a custom rom like Cyanogenmod or paranoid android XD

I think that main problem here is to install their ROM on the device itself. I know it's only to make the delays as low as possible, but there are people who prefer either stock firmware and some custom ones like Paranoid or Cyanogen or else. Untill it'll become available as an app or be used widely in customs it won't be used to anything but tests.

[Q] What's the best ROM to boot from SD on NC HD

I messed around with the ROM's on a Nook Color back in the days and stopped @ Gingerbread Bootable SD card and left the EMMC in tact. Been using it for a good while along with a TF 300T stock for a larger screen. I picked up a Nook HD on fle-bay and would like to get the most recent stable CM .. I'm guessing Android 4.3 is what's available....?
Can somebody point me to the best Install thread in development section to get this thing up and working quickly with.
* Bootable from SD card
* Android 4.3 or greater / stable
* Prefer CM, because I had a good experience with them on Gingerbread.
Once I get her up and running well, I can tinker a bit, but I really want a usable device pretty quick so I don't have to start over from square one and learn everything again from scratch searching through every thread .... just to figure out where to start.
Looking forward to getting a faster 7" tablet.. FINALLY!!!! I been using the Nook Color far too long
Thanks

Ok, here is my common answer for this kind of problem:
Please read through your device's forums and flash various ROMs in order to decide what ROM fits best for your needs.
PS: I don't even got my HD+, but I know that I will choose official CM - Stable from their website, so please read all threads and answer this question yourself please

I was really trying to aviod having to do that. I did all that 2 1/2 years ago with my Nook Color, it was tedious and time consuming process learning and where to start. Haven't touched that process it in about 2 years ... just used the tablet as is.
I just want the basic CM 10.x stable simple step by step thread - to create a SD BOOT card ( without the extra flavors and variation ) to have a working android tablet. I know I need to learn the install process again ... don't want to take hours of reading mega threads to pick flavor X, Y, Z trying out all flavors of ROM's. I've come to learn I'm more of an android user than hacker.

Thanks,
I've seen that, but it's for an install to EMMC. Since this a new device I have to decide if I'm keeping or selling if it doesn't fit my needs, I'd rather test run things on a SD card like I did with my nook color. I've already installed Win32DiskImager... I may be tinkering around with my Nook Color a bit to get familiar with the process again.
IIRC, the Nook Color is pretty unbrickable. Is the Nook HD similarly recoverable?
Also, Is there a similar thread to the " DUMMIES THREAD " but for SD ROM boot.
Thanks

that's the one I've been using since August.
I've not seen another pure SD setup.
There's a hybrid that uses internal for some file that's supposed to perform better, but I'm happy with the pure SD install.
I like being able to backup the whole card as an image and have everything to restore the full state.

[Q] Turn fire hd 7 into droid completely

So i know this is probably covered and i been looking through the forum but i was hoping someone could link me to it fast. I want to completely turn my kindle fire hd 7 into a driod tablet. I seen the way were u have both kindle os and jelly bean running, but can u compeltely remove kindle os and have a purley andriod tablet....maybe i over looked it during my search through ur forums and if i did my apologies, but any help would be awsome.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean running stock Amazon OS + JellyBean? If so, that is not possible. Stock OS uses Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3), whereas JellyBean is version 4.2.2 (for KFHD at least). At it's core, the Kindle already does run Android. It's just really locked down by Amazon. Rooting it allows you to do your own things to it to make it more like a regular Android tablet. Installing JellyBean completely wipes out all the Amazon apps and services.

I'm confused as to what you are asking, dude. You can't "turn off" the Amazon OS. You do have several options though. You can run stock, root, and install a 3rd party Launcher like Nova or Apex to keep the Amazon installed OS (which is an Android base) without being a slave to the interface, or you can run Kinology, which is the stock Amazon OS with some pretty slick tweaks, or (and I think this is what you are asking) if you truly want to eliminate the Amazon OS and go with stock Android you can install 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, and now 4.4 beta all from the Dev forum. These pure-ish android ROMs are all CM and all the non-Amazon based ROMs in the forum currently will be built from these. I hope this adequately answers your question. If not maybe you can clarify a little more and we'll be happy to help.

One word of advice, read through the instructions a few times before you take the plunge. Once it's set up its simple to try out the different ROMs. Just need to be sure to follow the instructions.

2 very important things to note, make sure in fire flash to check the box about downgrading the boot loader, its the box at the top with red text after it. The other thing is to download a ROM you want onto the device first along with its gapps or you will have a bit of a hassle getting it on there after you do this because the kindle will bootloop into recovery after you do this because of a stupid boot loader version check the os checks on boot up, and if the versions don't match it bootloops. Just make sure to read through that entire guide and I suggest making backups like it says.
