Question [Q] Nook Color CM7 Graphics Acceleration

Alright, the first thing here is mods, if this is in the wrong forum, remove it.

Now that that's cleared up, I want to ask a question.

My nook seems (graphics wise) slow and unresponsive.


All I want to know is that if possible, can you get graphics acceleration on the Nook?

I heard someone say that it has the same chip as some other phone (I don't remember) and that they got graphics accel. on that phone. So is there a way here?

Thanks.

It has it.
Get the latest stable and get the test OC'd kernel, set to 1.3 GHz.
Also, ditch ADW and use LauncherPro.

That's weird. My friend told me that he got graphics accel. and his thing runs faster.

And I already have CM7 (Stable) with 1.3 GHz using LPPSense

...then ditch LauncherPro (bloated c@#$ of a launcher) and use Zeam launcher
If you are running CM7 off uSD make sure it is a SanDisk

Apparently he copied everything from /etc to /system/etc. Now it goes faster.

u check graphic processor with graphic apps.
not if in general the NC has some lag which can be bad sd card, problem with installed apps etc.
check if U have abobe flash installed and if the oc kernel works right.

Yes, I tried this, and I see a small difference.
