[Q] What's the most stable ICS/JB ROM for 8GB? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hello, I wish to play games and watch videos on my Nook Tablet. Which ROM would be choice for doing this? Thanks for any help.

CM10 released its final version at the end of last year. Since then CM 10.1 has been released and improved on A LOT since it initially released. I recommend CM 10.1 from here.

But if you have any problems with it you can downgrade to CM10, which can also be found on iamafanof's page.

I have a 16 GB tablet and have run quite a few different JB (CM10.1) roms from various devs. The one that runs best for me, least battery drain, never crashed yet is at http://goo.im/devs/Kuzma30/full_acclaim-jb-20130102.zip. The others are Android 4.1.X. This one is 4.2.x.

I though that was the difference between CM10 and CM10.1: CM10 being 4.1.x, CM10.1 being 4.2.x, but I'm totally prepared to admit being wrong! It ceratinly wouldn't be the first time!

The distinction between CM10 and CM10.1 is as you stated. Only that JB spans both 4.1.x and 4.2.x, as does Kuzma30's full_acclaim-jb build series.

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-1-for-nook-tablet-1221/ I use this also. (02/06) build has a reboot issue but after flashing, he has a update in GooManager (02/13) build. If you still would like to continue the (02/06) build there is a fix for it on his page.

The updated build on his page has resolved the reboot problem.

Just installed it today. It is running smoothly with no hiccups so far.
One of the things that has puzzled me with the previous versions of ICS has been the tendency for the browser to choke when more than two tabs are in use. It ceases to function and then crashes out. I can reopen it and the same tabs reappear. I must close at least one to keep it from crashing again. This version does not exhibit this behavior. I had nine open today before it gave up. Still using gapps 2012-12-12 and reloaded it with every new rom I tried, along with the usual clearing of caches and data.

The earlier versions might still be a bit "buggish" to say. Say having multiple tabs open at once might just make it bug out.

I'm still using this ROM with the current version dated 26FEB2013_01. It is still quite stable and also now using the latest gapps dated 30130301 and that has smoothed things out bit more. One of the best surprises has been video playback in the browser. I was unable to play many things and it would tell me that I needed the latest version of "flash". Now, it plays well and I have no idea why. I thought flash was not supported in JB. Not complaining, just wondering what happened to change this. Now I can play my videos on MotoGp and I am thrilled.
All in all things are working very well in this ROM. I still get stock browser crashes when I have more than 3 or 4 tabs open, but I can live with that having so many other features that work so well. Many thanks to Succulent and all the other DEVs involved.

:laugh: MotoGP site is what I use to "test" diffrent ROMS! Partly because it's a huge interest of mine, and party because that site is poorly done that if I can have it running smooth in a ROM or browser I'm testing, I'm confident pretty much everything else will work as well! :good:

Looks great. Especially tablet modes and all the customizability.
Ik right and this is just his first port for it. Imagine what the updates will be like. (If there be any)
Anyone tested it? Is it more stable then AOSP and CM 10.1? What kernel does it run?
AOSPA is a nice little move from the occasional CM and AOSP. And don't get hopes up yet, it's still on 3.0.63

After testing it for a few days, I can tell you some of the problems I came across. When rotating between landscape and potrait I experience a little screen lag but nothing serious. Everything else seems to work perfect even the pie style bar and dpi settings in settings.
Edit: Oh, forgot to say that I dont think 10 touch work. I have the firmware installed but it only see's up to 4 fingers.
This doesn't work with the 8gb nook, it just shows a blank screen after the cyanogenmod boot so therefore I don't think it's compatible with 8gb nook and I would appreciate and others too would appreciate if they had instructions on here or compatibility with certain devices so users know what they are downloading.

I've been using it for about a day at home and it works great so far. I am able to stream youtube directly to my smart tv and hbo go works great on the tablet. havent tried netflix yet. play store works too, loving jelly bean so far.
however, the rotation bug (it shows deformed graphics for a second, then rotates the screen) is really annoying. it kinda kills the fluidness of the OS for me. I am gonna try CM10 i think before i decide what works best. I really wish he fixed the screen orientation switching bug. I'd donate if it led to such a fix.

[Q] Most Stable ICS/JB Rom?

I've gone through a few roms, including CM10.1 and AOKP from th3bill. It seems like AOKP is in fact the most compatible, as every app I've tried runs (Antutu, Chrome and Bluetooth were the deal breakers of CM10.1). I've had some issues with stuttering, but I do understand that will happen with any ROM.
Any other ROMs that rival how well it works?
bump?
PA 2.99
I have been using it as a daily since it was released. Tried others but always come back to it. Using the November 22nd build as I find it more stable then the very last build.
It's been very reliable, using video cam illusion for video....no issues.
My phone runs great on it...getting the HTC One soon though...my photon has been a workhorse for two years now and it's time to move on.

Quick ParanoidAndroid ROM question

Okay, I have been on Jelly Beans ROMs since practically build 1, it seems. I have never tried out another ROM on this device. Something here lately has really gotten my attention though, and that is the "Halo" usage from ParanoidAndroid ROMs. I spent almost an hour last night reading through the bazillion pages on the Original Android Development tab for this ROM (PA). There were so many mixed reviews about what works and what doesn't on the latest release that I am not sure what to think.
My question is, ultimately, is there a build of ParanoidAndroid for VZW Note 2 that is "mostly" bug free (GPS, graphical issues, etc)? I even looked at JellyBam, but there is even less of a clear message with that ROM. I need something for a daily driver and really don't want to have to do work arounds for the things I typically do on my device (Phone Calls to Netflix and all between).
Anyone have any ideas? Like I said, the only build of Paranoid I could find was the newly released one that looks to be built off Android 4.3 (Cyanogenmod, I assume). If that is the case, from what I have read, there are a few things that aren't tied up completely on it. Older build of Paranoid maybe? (Where do I find that?)
Thanks for the help guys.

You can try the 4.2.2 version of paranoid android if you want to be conservative. I think it was 3.68 or something

I got a GPS lock and you can by getting a lock in a tw ROM in maps, then immediately flashing as you would a normal rom.

[Q] Issues with the new Cyanogen-mod Installer on s2 i9100

HEY GUYS!!
So im super new to XDA forums, but i came here to get some help. So ive never flashed a custom ROM before but ive read on it extensively and have an idea of the terms and what-not. i recently flashed my s2 i9100 to the latest cyanogenmod rom using their app and desktop aid. i really loved the new look and feel on my s2 and i was positive Sammy wouldn't be rolling out any future updates on this hardware.
After the honeymoon period was over i came to notice the grating little issues that made me switch back to official jellybean TW. The cyanogenmod firmware they flash with the app is 10.2, so its jelly bean 4.3. It was a "stable" firmware, so they say. Heres a list of the problems.
1. YouTube became very very pixelated and i did some searches and couldnt find a fix.
2. Games like Temple Run 2 performed much worse than with the stock OS, lots of frame skipping could be seen, which makes a game like TR2 unplayable.
3. There were alot of crashes on the stock cyanogenmod launcher, especially after installing apps.
I really appreciate the work cyanogen does but i posted these issues on their forums and i feel like im an isolated incident being that noone has posted on it.
SO IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS ME OR WITH ADVICE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, IT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.
CM for i9100 are only nightlies.
Nightly means that the firmware is every (not anymore) day/night getting updated, why? Because of bugs. Nightlys are oftne minor bug improvments compared to the one before.
There are no stable CM roms, except CM 9 so i've heard, just Nightlies.
Hope this clears it up.
PS. Maybe you can try other roms that have CM base..
I am using cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies right now in my I9100G, and i don't have any problems, wouldn't go back to stock. Games work much better for me because this ROM is lightweight and uses ram better, i never used the desktop aid so i can't comment on that but maybe you should flash from recovery, there might be bugs with that aid, and which cyanogenmod are you using? If you are trying to use kitkat, there will be lots of bugs its only natural because it's been 2 weeks since kitkat went out, try 4.3.

Oh thanks for the repl. I didnt know that the firmwares were nightlies when using the official app. i thought the app description was that it flashes the latest stable cyanogen build. Just a question, being that ive flashed it twice to try and mitigate the issues to no avail, (ive wiped dalvik and cache and formatted) whats my next step? i really liked it but those issues are pretty disappointing/

I would try it the "old" way but im a little afraid. do you think that the fact that you are using the G variant would make a difference?
the only way to make youtube better was to loas previous version. and the games didnt necessarily have a constant lag, it seems more like a frame sync or clipping issue than a frame chugging/ lagging issue. The cyanogen build i was using was 10.2. so it was 4.3.1. thanks for your reply.

Might be a unique problem for you. You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532929
If it doesn't work, don't use cm and try other roms, as i said there might be a unique problem with your device.
I'm not going to make any recommendations because that's against XDA rules, but it stands to reason that the 10.2 builds won't be as 'polished' as the 10.1 builds purely because they haven't been under development for as long. If you don't like the bugs in 10.2, try something 'older'..........

Thanks for your replies guys,
im wondering if i should just wait for an official kitkat build.
but either way ill try your suggestions. looking forward to positive results.
just a heads up though i found another poster on a cyanogen forum that describes the same youtube problem. so maybe its not just me after all
There will be issues with the 10.2 builds for some time to come.....no disrespect to the developers, they've done /are doing a fantastic job to help keep the S2 alive. All custom ROMs go through this process and as they progress, the bugs become less and less.........
And as far as official KitKat.......not going to happen.....Samsung ended official support for the S2 with Jellybean....

Well overall the ROM is fantastic. I love the look and feel and added functionality. What I meant about waiting for official kitkat is an offcial rom from cyanogen based on kitkat. Im sure that support for s2 will continue so long as the hardware is capable.

Tired Of Trying Custom Roms

Hi everybody,
I have been trying roms for months. I donate some of them, I reported bugs, I really gave lotst of times for this work. I just wanted to have a rom that newer Android... I am really tired of trying... I realize that; this is wasting time. I could not find a rom that works perfect or without issue. People say, "Stable/great/perfect rom, you should try" but when we try, it have lots of problems.

After 1 week, Mokee get laggy specially while incoming call. Phone ringing but caller screen came 4-5 seconds later.
Changed rom to SlimKat Beta 2.3
I have been using SlimKat more than 3 weeks.
Just one problem: Can not install some apps like xda app (error about sd card)
No more problem.
I suggest SlimKat.
no proper drivers for custom kexec kernel means... never ... sad but true ... get nexus device as i will... shame for moto and their bootloader lock such good device wasted...
Listen you maybe just wasting time but u also need to see that a majority of the users are having a good stable for most things. Sometime you have issues that could be that you have you caused it. Just my opinion my xt912 is running fine on cm11

Stock ROM always makes a prefect job
I can understand that you are annoyed by trying ROM that turn out to be everything else but stable.
I had that too but to be fair I must say that my Stock ROM wasn't 100% stable either.
The good thing about this is: it's all voluntarily, so everybody can choose the personal best solution
Try china stock, used almost half year without any issue, hdmi and 1080p is perfect.

First of all, thank you very much for commenting here
You guys say everythin ok, but when i look your post in rom topics, I see that you reported problems too.
I mean, roms are good, maybe working faster thank stock, but device freezing, sd mount problem, hdmi, camera problems, apps crashing, gps problems, visual problems, and other problems we have lot.
For example, I tried
Mokee
CM11
Slimbean
Slimkat
Artmod
Gummy
Eclipse
Miui
Some unoffical roms,
And i can say that, i tried to flash all of them bmm and also safestrap times and times. But all of them have problem that does not available to use daily.
If you ask that; what hell are you looking for?
I just looking for a newer android version (than stock 4.1) that working without problem (I dont care camera, webtop, hdmi )
Well, Can you offer a rom 4.3 or 4.2 working perfect?

I'm on slimkat and no problems so far, had Mor freezes and reboots on stock rom
Tapped from my RazR
I have learned here @xda there is a work-a-round for most anything U may be having issues with. Of course with Kexec some things just are not possible, yet.. To sum it up, there is an app for everything (almost) the only work-a-round I have not been able to accomplish or find here would be HDMI as I have to switch back to stock if I would like to use my phone with my TV and or computer but I am definitely not complaining this is for sure. Everything else I use daily or on a regular basis is 100% stable...
XT912 RaZR SpYdEr CDMA

I have been running stock on my Razr Maxx (XT912) for over a year but it got bloated and VERY slow so I wanted to ROM this phone finally (I had messed around with my prior Droid X phone alot ).
Unfortunately ROMs always failed when I tried them. Unable to open zip in safestrap (updated to 3.65). I couldn't find a good answer to this problem so factory reset and tried again....no go...still failing. Verified the downloads. They are good. Rage/ Slim ROMs, CM 10 and 11...nothing works. I finally try to reflash my phone with the utility, but I used the wrong/ old one...phone no longer boots....uh oh!
Found the proper utility (updated batarang one) and ran it and I am able to boot again....but I'm still stock.
Reinstall Safestrap 3.65 and retry ROMing this thing. CM 11 (12-27) takes. Flash gapps and kernal. All is well. Double wiped cache/ dalvic between each step.
Been 24 hours now and I have had a couple crashes. Had to reinstall, then uninstall and reinstall dolphin browser to get it to work.
Just tried a pic and it worked fine...Gallery from phone crashed but opened fine separately.
The only problem I have with it so far is that PDAnet does not work. So I'll have to swap over to stock for net access that way.
I still have to learn the in and outs of the experience (?) launcher, but it is working pretty well for something that is still experimental. This is my one and only phone...my daily driver ... so I can't do with a lot of bugs. But of course my expectations are tempered by the fact I know I am not using a fully released ROM. I can say that my phone is running better than before and I get to have the fun of learning the new ways to use the phone with the improvements/ changes of the latest android.
I have read quite a few posts of people being upset that the ROMS aren't perfect. Read the posts about your particular ROM. Be sure you can deal with the bugs they list (usually on the first page/ post) and if not, don't use it. Also do a clean install the first time. Also follow the directions and read before you leap.
Good links from my recent experience

...NOT!
Every few months i'm going back to stock rom for a couple of days to realise that stock aint an alternative.
I never had sound problems with a CM rom for excample. Even in stock rom i experience regular force closes...
...just sayin'
Stock deblured/debloated base and xposed modules does the job great...

I have to say, MIUI has been the most consistent in performance. Only problem is that I've got an XT912 and I had no data while I used it. I only used it for two weeks, but during those two weeks it performed beautifully.
I am having the same issues as the OP. After about a month of use the ROM starts freezing and rebooting from time to time and overall feeling VERY sluggish. A fresh install always fixes this. I'm currently running CM10 and it as worked well for the longest by far, but is now awful. Stock is also subpar after a month of use.
Ok guyz
I offer Mokee
