[ROM][April 29 2011] >>> phiremod nook V6.2 <<< | CM7.0.2

[RaVenJ]

Is that the same one you linked me to the other day? If it is, sorry.. I got sidetracked by the UD 3.1.2 ROM and then when I saw this v5 thing, I assumed it was the latest and greatest.. I guess the shiny toys aren't always the best ones, huh?

 

[RaVenJ]

On the kernel installation.. Is it just a simple CWR flash like the ROM or something more complicated?

LOL...That is the same phiremod I am running right now, and have been for weeks.

Yeah, I was bummed when phiredrop jumped from this version to the CM version of gingerbread, as it means there is no forward path, but...it is stable, flash works, youtube app works (even though it seems youtube has taken a big dump the past couple days, noticed it on my pc)

Only downside is black text on DARK gray backgrounds in menu's.

I need to install a new ROM to my bork'd Nook. I was running froyo, but if I'm gonna re-install, I may as well move to the latest and greatest...

So, what is the latest and greatest? I'm looking for something stable. Was planning on latest Phiremod, but if it causes rapid battery drain, maybe I won't.

Suggestions?

Phiremod Beta 2 is a stable popular choice for Froyo. Just follow the few posts above from Darmeen.

You wouldn't recommend a gingerbread version?

I haven't ran Phiremod beta 2 yet, but the best thing I've ran so far is the UD 3.1.2, which is gingerbread based.. The battery life, at least on my wife's NC, has been very good. My only gripe is that it's a little too "decorated".. I'd rather have something that looked more generic, and not see the "Ultimate Droid" logo so often.. If you're not worried about that, then it's great. (and no, I'm not uninstalling it just because of that..)

I'll be trying the Phiremod beta 2 this weekend though.

It all just depends on what you are looking for. If you want B&N functionailty stick with 2.1. If you want flash and everyday stability use 2.2. You want cutting edge mostly useable then 2.3. Preview of the future without a real underlying build 3.0

That's why I'm doing the Phiremod beta 2 this weekend, but I really haven't seen anything wrong or unstable with UD..

Could you please describe/point me at "UD 3.1.2"? I'm not familiar w/ that acronym. Thanks

Ultimate Droid bulid 3.1.2 here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...droid-3-1-2-nook-color-gingerbread-2-3-a.html

Basically a custom ROM you can put on your Nook.

Dangit.. I'm going to have to get myself a second NC, just so I can keep one to play with! Loving the rapid pace of the development.

EDIT: Any idea what TubeXL is?

 

[J515OP]

YouTube XL is just a simplified version of made to run with different UI. At least that is how it Works on the PS3.
