Gday guys, just wondering how CM9 is working out on the Nook Tablet, It would be great to hear some feedback!
Cheers Steve
It seems stable enough. It's just missing a few things which could cause it to be a little sluggish at times and certain apps or features to not function. Look over in the dev thread at the details. I don't use it as my primary because it isn't as smooth as CM7 and I can't use Netflix yet. CM9 has a much better interface and looks nicer than CM7 so if it fits your needs I'd say try it.
I've been using it as my primary (only) ROM since the night it dropped and couldn't be happier.

I really wish we could run netflix and I would be in. I am so used to cm7 it is going to be hard to switch over. Then again that is the fun part too...

If you want to play graphic intensive games or use netflix, then CM9 may not be for you. I cancelled my netflix some time ago in favor of hulu+ and have a Xoom for games so I use cm9 as my daily. It's really a question of whether or not the missing parts are important to you. CM9 is otherwise extremely stable and has great battery life.
The Cm7 rom is great and props to Team B, but unfortunately gingerbread is a relic of android; it was designed for smaller screens. ICS is the real tablet deal.
It may only be me, but, I like that in CM7 apps like Maps and Earth can set your location from the wireless network you are logged into. I was not able to do that with CM9. Other than that they were pretty much the same for stability.
Stability of CM9 (as of October)
Hey again guys, instead of starting another post i would continue with this one...
Again, how stable is the new CM9, my reason for asking is that im still using CM7, and its great - really stable.
Im currently travelling, and i use my Nook all the time for Comics and books etc, and if its not stable i dont have time to just sit down and play with it?
If anyone can offer me any advice that would be great!
Cheers Steve
Try Chris's CM10 0.05.3. I have found it to be extremely stable since the latest update. No reboots or SODs
Sent from my NOOK Tablet running CM10 0.05.3
Agreed...try Chris' CM10. I haven't had any problems outside of battery life with the last few releases.

Hey guys,
Downloaded temple run today, was so pumped until I played it and realized that touch swiping wasnt accurate (i'd swipe left and would just continue and fall ij water) and the game was a little choppy. Running Turl's v9 CM9, btw. Any of you guys experience similar issues?

Yup. Its a touch issue with the CM9 ROMs.

I'm on stock Gingerbread and rooted. Temple Run plays flawlessly on my Atrix. No lagging at all. Control is also better/more accurate on my Atrix than on my Kindle Fire, HTC EVO View 4G tablet, or my mother-in-law's HTC phone (Incredible?). Haven't tried it yet on my wife's iPhone 4 or iPad 2 though. But on Android, I'm very happy with how it runs on my Atrix. Now, if I could just get past 50,000 points
I'm on cm7 and it runs perfectly with no issues. I've been playing it all day non stop.
i felt a little not smooth as i run it on ios devices.btw,i'm running stock gb rom.
so from what i'm reading here, I guess it's safe to assume that it's an issue with cm9 drivers.
well this sucks because I love Temple Run, but dont think i will b going back to GB for temple run....

As far as I could understand, the bug with CM9 is not only for the Atrix, but for all the devices that are running an ICS version, it has something to do with drivers or some other lie...
no problems on my jokersax cm9 atrix.
EDIT:
actually. yeah. it has problems with touch. doesn't ever go the right way.
Exactly the same problem on miui ics rom as well

The game works perfectly fine for 95% of the time but there are times when it slows down significantly for example when there are a lot of objects to render at the same time.
Yeah I'm on MIUI v4 ICS based on CM9 and my swipes always go the wrong way. So bummed but I'll never leave MIUI. Gonna subscribe to this thread in hopes that any fixes or updates will be posted here.

Its performance is rom specific and does not function correctly on cm9 roms or the miui roms built off of it I guess so until those roms get there libs and drivers straight certain games are a no go

Running cm7
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I've been using CM9 for 4-5 weeks now, and I like it. It's nearly perfect, but the rotation and camera bugs aren't exactly deal breakers for me, though I would like to have full use of my phone. CM9 just got an update, but CM7.2 is updated almost daily, and I suppose everything works due to the Gingerbread drivers being available. Plus, Gingerbread uses fewer resources. It's not overclocked, but I imagine in running at 1GHz it gets better battery life.
So just wondering what the Photon/Electrify users think, and a poll for nice statistics.
I was using cm9 as my daily for many months. When the newness wore off I started experimenting with other roms including cm7. And I must stay, after using cm7, cm9 seems to feel very sloppy and forced. This is no fault of joker, just the current tools he is given. Cm7 is absolutely a dream and is leaps and bounds more customizable than cm9 in its current iteration. You'll find that everything works without flaw and that battery is much better. All in all, if you need to be on the bleeding edge, run cm9. If you want full functionality and everything to just work, run cm7.

Thanks for the input. That's all very helpful. I love the hell outta ICS/CM9 and I have it set up nice, but I'm going on vacation in a couple months, and, while I'd like to show off ICS, stability and fluidity will be more important, as well as battery life.
And no, I don't wanna knock Joker either, he does great work, I'm just not sure if I'm a bleeding edge kind of guy. Part of me is (the whole geek thing) but another part of me wants something that just works. I'll get something that's risky and cool (Paranoid Android in tablet mode, for example) and then I'll go back to something safe. Actually using Paranoid Android in phone mode right now. I like the centered (yes, iPhone-like) clock.
I like CM9 but the camera stuff is a deal breaker for me. I've used the CM7/2.3.5 hybrid from peetr. It's smooth, fast, battery-sipping, and wonderful. I love the 1080p video camera. I tried overclocking it (you can do that with CM7 roms, by the way), but I didn't really notice a difference in speed, and it seems just a bit unstable. I think the biggest difference people notice in speed with overclocking, other than benchmarks, is the fact that they don't have a bunch of apps and settings slowing their phone down when they first load a new ROM, so of course it seems faster than what they were just working with.

Jellybean will be less stable than cm9 and hellaless stable than cm7 for a while. Try to remember that it's taken joker months of hard work to make cm9 this stable on a gingerbread kernel and components from other devices. Jellybean is exciting, but it's a generally small update that is meant to fix bugs and introduce a couple new apps. The problems we have with cm9 (lack of libs, kernel) will still exist.
You forgot its gonna make things extremely smooth.

Butter is considered by many to not be all that its cracked up to be. And again, considering our lack of libs and kernel, butter will be of limited help for us as of yet.

I'm pretty sure Butter will require working drivers to work properly, so as excited as I am to see a JB port to our Photons, I doubt it'll be nearly as smooth as it seems until we get proper drivers =/.
I'm currently on CM 7.2 and loving it, but will move over to CM9 once we get some leaked drivers/kernel from Motorola. Joker does some great work, and it's impressive to see how much is working on ICS without those bits from Moto.
I agree. I am using Cm7 because it is stable. I really like Cm7 but am ready to move back to a more stable CM9.
I love both ROMs, but after using AOKP i can't go back to a GB ROM
What does AOKP have over CM9?

Has anyone tried the new alpha Jelly Bean 0.01? From the beginning and after having trouble with inofficial cm9 nightlies I always used his cm9 alpha. How is the stability of his cm10 alpha compared to cm9 alpha? Or compared to CM9 inofficial nightlies?

You'd better wait a while. If you read the first post of the CM10 post, you'll see what works and what doesn't. CM9 is much more stable at the moment.
The nightly CM9 builds have had a lot of problems with moving to the new kernel and trying to support both NT SKUs. If you want something newer than CM7 but still pretty stable, CM9 0.05.1 by chrmhoffmann is pretty good. It's highly functional and I have never had a SOD or random reboot. From all the chatter, it looks like CM10 is making rapid progress, probably thanks to a lot of the hard work put into CM9 carrying forward. Right now, I'd just remind everyone that patience is a virtue and good things take time.
@solar plexus
Hi solar plexus
you are right, the first post sounds scary but so did the first post of cm9 alpha by chwrmhoffmann but it worked really well from the beginning as far as I remember But as stated in the next post it was not based on kernel 3.x. Has anyone really tried the cm10 0.01 out? I can't because I'm currently on hollyday.
Hi strouperman
you are right I'm as well using this 0.05 alpha version by Chris Hoffmann. It works great from the beginning even if the first post was as scary as the one for the cm10.
But has anyone tried the cm 10 alpha 0.01 out? at the moment I can't because I'm on hollyday.

I gladly would unfortunately I'm on an 8gb model, so kinda out of luck until the 3.0 kernel works with it . Have to applaud the devs though, quick work jumping right in and getting an early release out already!
Sent from my NookTablet cm9 using xda app-developers app
I briefly tried out the first posted build of JB (after backing up my system, of course). Despite the expected issues alpha, it seemed surprisingly functional. The issue I noticed off the bat was that it defaulted to phone UI (which I think is balls ugly on a tablet). I assume that this can be fixed by adjusting the DPI. The rotation issue was bad, but I hear that is already been fixed. The part that makes me want to wait until this is further along is mostly losing the awesome CM9 settings I've grown to love.
P.S. - For me this build operated longer without a random reboot than the last CM9 nightly I tried about 2 weeks ago. I messed around with it for about an hour and didn't have any reboots, which is about 58 minutes longer than the nightly. I have to wonder if some component to the 3.0 kernel that is deactivated for JB is the major culprit for the random reboots.
thanks for this overview I appreciate this very much. So I will trie it out after my hollyday. I hope it will soon be as stable as the cm9 0.05.

Well i had to go back to cm7 beta. The random reboots weren't bad for me just surfin the web. But when my kid started playing games i got tired of having to reboot it about every hour. Loved the JB though. Hope the devs work there magic and fix the random reboots. Keep up the good work devs.

Had one when I first loaded it. So I set the display time out to 30min and used wake lock. After that the only thing was I had to manually reboot it every time my kid was playing games on it for awhile. The screen would go blank and the backlight would stay on.
Had the same issue here. I'll patiently wait for the good work and switch when the time is right.

Version .02 works really well . It only reboots if you leave alone for awhile and unlock it now. And one while trying to make a tegra 3 app work. But Google now works like a charm, and most apps work, and less apps are restricted in the market now. Only the phone ui part sucks. Basically no landscape at home screen or searching through apps. Besides that annoyance I've been using it as my daily for 2 days now with few problems.

Hmm.. I've just left my WiFi on (set to never turn off during sleep) and the screen set to 30 minutes and haven't had the black screen in a a few days.. Granted not really any heavy use atm though, just xda, eBay, and some other stuff
Edit: I guess JB didn't like me saying that... was going to edit something and then black screen
I attempted to use the newboot.zip used previously for the CM9 versions that enabled the 8gb NT to use the ROM, and was met with the black screen with the two androids on it (to show that its the newboot)... but it would not proceed any further than that... i was hopeful, but i'm sure that someone eventually will come up with a solution to allow 8gb users to partake in the jellybean goodness as well
... EDIT!:
After wiping the data/cache and dalvik, reflashing JUST chrwmhoffmann's CM10 0.02 and Gapps, i thought it was giving me an error... after about 5 minutes at the boot logo, it rebooted... and then booted into the google account setup!... keep in mind, this is on an 8GB Nook Tablet. I will post screenshots when i get back home tonight
Here are the images for the boot and settings from my above post

Extremely stable on the 2.x kernel, though no hardware acceleration (HD movies, netflix, HD youtube, high end games).
But to best gauge if its right for you, test it out. You can always restore a backup or flash a different rom if it isn't quite ready for you.
Cheers for the quick response.
How does it compare to CM7 in terms of speed, battery life etc.
Thanks
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda app-developers app
I'd say both speed and battery life are about the same between CM7 and CM9. However, ICS just feels so much nicer and smoother. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.
The cm9 is very stable, but because it's 30day "time limited" I still use cm7, for daily use, with the ICS themes. Once cm9 gets finalized with the 3.x kernel, I think it will be a beauty .
Hello all!
I know This is probably the most broad question asked, but I am curious. Ive been through a few old builds of JB (CM10 and varients of Kang) but they never quite were stable for a daily driver build. So im curious, as of right now, what do you think the most stable JB Roms are out there. And when I mean stable, I mean daily driver status. I would like to try each one individually and give it my own review but I have neither the time nor the patience to trudge through them all. So just an overall consensus would be fantastic! Im running Blackstar VII now and I honestly LOVE it, but equalizers do not play nice with that particular Rom and unfortunatly thats a bit of a deal breaker for me. Thank you for the help!!

ParanoidAndroid (PA) is awesome. Along with JB, PA's options to adjust DPI is a nice feature for a big-screen phone like Note.
Also, JamieD81, the dev for this rom, is officially recognized by PA Team and XDA, and has been diligent with updates.
But almost all CM10 roms will have the same type of bugs (if any), because of the CM10, not the rom itself. And many of these bugs are being addressed and the roms are being updated accordingly as well. You can try different ones I guess, but I have not found a reason to even try something else.

So it sounds like Liquid Jellybean and Paranoid Android has been the most stable. Test both ROMs out and decide witch fits you better. Have fun!

The RC3 and RC4 builds of Liquid JB have been rock solid. No screen flicker, no lost APN settings and the only soft reboots I've gotten are directly related to VLC beta. Great feature set and frequent updates.
