Root Nook Color Roms and just make it work

[terramir]

Okies got a nook color at the pawnshop today, also got a 32gb sandisk uhs-1 card.
Anyways rooted it since I can't register it the moron putting it in the pawn shop didn't deregister, then put cyanomod 7.2 on it. And this is where the problems start geez freezing everything basically sucks.
#1 I just want this to work browsing and what apps were on there was fine in 1.10 stock but with 7.2 everything is freezing up, also what's up with the emmc (it's like stealing all my flash space.
another thing are constant force close errors and I cannot move my apps like on my phone to my huge 32gb ultra fast flash card. so any recommendations? cause so far this thing just plain sucks I just want a tablet for browsing playing simple games like words with firends, angry birds hanging with firends and be able to read books with the kindle app, also getting this thing usable with a bluetooth keyboard would be cool for writing stuff.
Does anyone have any recommendations in regards to roms that might give me a smooth user experiance? now that I have the clockwork recovery I should be able to flash something else on it easily.
It's redicuolous after I reboot for like one app it runs much fater than my vm670 but after my crappy phone is faster and that's with stock rom lol.
Help

Never buy a high speed card and install your rom on it. Worst thing you can do. A class 2 or class 4 Sandisk is the fastest for use like this. High speed cards are optimized for writing large files sequentially (like a camera or video recorder), where android reads and writes small files randomly, which HS cards are very poor at.

Sdcards also will fail after a year or so of use so best to put that rom on emmc (replacing the stock rom). That way you get the best speed and more reliable.

You seem to have completely misunderstood me . The rom is not on the card and I'm not planning on running the is from the card either. The nook has cyogenmod 7.2 directly on the system flash and is runniing horribly, I can't move rarely used apps to SD or that 5gb emmc partition either it I have less than a gig of memory the osk is horrible the whole device keeps lagging while on stock its fine except I can't register and this is why I'm stuck.
And actually. I want to play videos on this so the uhs1 card is appropriate. Its a sandisk and well that is not my problem finding the right rom is.
Anyone here able to help please check my post above seems like you just saw uhs1 and stopped reading
Thanks for any input you guys may have

Have you overclocked your nook color?

This has a slow processor so don't expect that you will be lag free in games. I clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery and also use a cache clearing app periodically. Also, I use an app called fast reboot (not a task killer) to help.

I play games like jetpack joyride, angry birds, and temple run but there is some lag in the bigger games like temple run. I also watch alot of videos on netflix and hulu but they run fairly smooth.

No overclocking yet, I get a bunch of process.media forceclose errors and well I dunno but words with friends will only play on it's side which sucks with my friends nook color it pl
aye fine go figure 7.2 stable is anything but
Need some recommendations got clockwork installed so flashing should not Be a problem
I just want this darn thing to stop crashing I dunno how many times I've repaired permissions. And rebooted in what has been now 48 hours

Force closes are often the result of updating without wiping data or corrupt data. Doing a factory reset often will fix that, but means you'll have to reinstall any apps and know your gMail login and password.

I'd format data, format cache and clear dalvik cache in CWM. You might need to reflash Google Apps if you can't get into Play Store after activating it again.

I don't care how you use the hi-speed card. Any app that does use it will lag and since many apps (esp large apps) do install to the card, they will be slow.

I'm asking about alternative Cfw wiped everything besides that I lost wifi and I had to factory reset this is a royal pita. Does anyone besides the uhs h8er have anything constructive to add?

Follow this, I do it and CM 7.2 works flawlessly on mine. Try swapping out the SD card.
