I'm just wondering, how usable is CM9 at this stage? Is it worth replacing my CM7.2 (possibly a RC, don't remember) that I've had for several months on an SD card? If it's stable enough, how well does it perform graphics wise? Would something like Minecraft or World of Goo perform as well (if at all) on CM9 compared to CM7?

Edit: I've claimed page 99! :D

Probably it will worth for you to have a look at the Questions section as there are already many topics about the value of CM9.

in general don't expect the fast response and full graphic experience of Cm7.

What RASTAVIPER said. I've compared CM7 AND CM9, and CM7 is more stable, and has better performance for gaming, and whatnot.

I now personally use CM9, just because it looks nicer, and the status bar compared to the CM7 one :p , but to answer your question, the games run fine, Minecraft and World of Goo run smoothly, but sometimes small lags come in. If you are going to use N64oid, find the version 1.1.4. For some reason, only anything below 2.x works on ICS for Nook Color.

After using cm9 for almost two months, I recently switched back to CM7 because I was sick of slow performance, freezes, and a few apps not working correctly (netflix.)

Based on the score I got in quadrant today, I'm guessing this made it in to the 9/2 build? I wish I could afford to buy the whole CM9 Encore team a beer!

I ran quadrant this morning and got a score of over 1550. That was on the openGL build, so maybe that's the difference?

There's something different with the 9-2 build for performance though, hbo go nw runs without any stuttering, whereas before, for me, it would not. Nothing different except for the new nightly. If it improved even more with the new pushes then I can't wait!

The 9/4 nightly includes all of krylon's changes, and opengl is now enabled by default so there will only be 1 build each night from now on (unless something changes again). In testing we haven't experienced any freezes or random reboots with the new code and opengl enabled, of course with wider testing we may discover something.

Installing now...

Edit: Had one lockup: Browser -> Home -> Rotate -> Freezed mid-rotation.
Otherwise great.

Nightlies will now feature HWA and full Hardware Decoding, as well as working Flash.

Known issues.
Netflix - Stupid Stupid App. :p - Giving the same error as we are getting in JB, so when we fix one, we will fix the other.

Fruit Ninja - Hangs at the loading screen. - Known issue across several devices.

Any indication if the problem stopping sync on m-Secure with Dropbox has been fixed? I think someone said it was an encryption issue with data.

Thanks!

Installed fresh on a SD card. everything is fine except for play store. So far I've had at least 5 freezes when play store was running. Essentially when a particular app was installing, the NC freezes if I try anything else (be it searching for another app, opening another app etc...)

    As of 9/4 opengl is enabled on all builds (so no more double builds each night) and hardware UI acceleration is working. Thanks krylon360 for the work :)


    In the same spirit as Samiam303 I've been building and hosting nightly builds of CM9 for the community to use. In particular I'm now building nightlies with OpenGL rendering turned on in addition to non-openGL builds (same as Samiam303). These builds are all straight sync with CM source with no additional mods. Builds are sync'd at 3am EST for non-openGL and 4am EST for openGL - they will be available to download approx 15 mins after their sync times.

    So what does OpenGL rendering mean? It means we have some form of hardware acceleration for the UI and apps. It is not full hw accel and it is not hw video decoding. The couple of things you'll notice work is wallpaper scrolling in the launcher and chrome beta will mostly work to render webpages but will fc if you go into settings. Flash also somewhat works - I've found you definitely need to OC to get some flash videos to work, most still are not smooth.

    The downside to it seems to vary user to user, some people report sluggish responses and some get lock ups, a few have no problems at all..

    Either way, give them a try and report back. Please try to keep the thread on topic of these builds only, other mods can be flashed over, but that discussion should be in the respective thread. I'd also like to revisit keyodi's suggestion here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22277804#post22277804) - a few people reported good results with that change. Any more feedback?

    Downloads

    There's a few ways to get the builds:
    1) Browse the hosted folder here: http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore
    2) Follow @CM_Encore on twitter for announcements of the builds as they hit the host (PLEASE NOTE: @CM_Encore IS A TWITTER BOT - don't bother tweeting at it)
    3) *NEW* Use the Goo Manager app to receive notifications of new builds and download them directly on your nook. With Goo Manager you can also get incremental updates, see my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25441065#post25441065

    Latest ICS gapps can be found here http://goo-inside.me/gapps or mirrored here http://techerrata.com/browse/gapps

    Updates

    For the latest updates/announcements follow me on twitter, or check back here.

    5/9/12: Goo Manager now comes pre-installed to make updating as easy as possible :)
    4/28/12: Incremental updates are available for the flash-a-holics: See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25441065#post25441065
    3/10/12: Due to some merges yesterday you may need to reflash gapps when going from a nightly prior to 3/9 to later than 3/9

    Credit and Thanks
    Thanks to fattire, dalingrin and the rest of the CM encore theme for making this possible. Thanks to fellow TeamWin members Kevank for providing the hosting and to s0up for the Goo app.

    I've decided to pause the nightlies at this point. If most people are on 9/4 we can start to see if there's any specific issues affecting all users that might be able to be resolved with the goal being as stable a cm9 release as possible. There isn't much being merged into the cm9 tree upstream so we're not losing anything by building less frequency.

    So go ahead and install 9/4, if I see something of significance merged upstream I'll kick off a new public build.

    thanks eye.
    This gives me a chance to hack in the PBHACK which will bring down the memory usage of SystemUI like I did in JB.
    Gonna take some work since it didnt like some of the syntax usage when I attempted the 1st time.
    Will try to get to this sometime this week. Have my Grandma coming to town on Sunday, so will be unavail this weekend/next week.
