[Q] CM7 vs CM9

---

Like in the topic.
I have 16GB Nook Tablet and would like to have good OS for University - reading books, making notes.
Maybe watching videos, listening to music, surfing the Web.

So which one is more "user-friendly"?

Or maybe it's possible to have CM9 "on-board" and then boot CM7 via dual-sdcard-boot?

EDIT: And very important - bluetooth keyboard - I'd like to have one (and I've heard that CM9 doesn't have working bluetooth?).

The big thing CM9 is missing that CM7 has is hardware acceleration. This means high end games don't work and videos like Netflix.

In terms of user friendly, they're both user friendly, though CM9 is better suited for a "tablet" whereas CM7 is kinda a bloated phone OS put onto a tablet.

You can dual boot as well, with CM9 on the internal and CM7 on an sdcard.

As for bluetooth, neither version has this working.

I dual boot to CM9 internal and run CM7 from SD card. CM7 is still my daily and I fool with CM9. I haven't gotten CM9 to correctly use my wifi location in any apps and have to manually set these. It works great in CM7. I guess I'm more used to the mail client in CM7 and I haven't found how to change the preferences in the weather/mail widget in CM9.

Once CM9 is really ready I may switch drivers, but for now, I prefer CM7.

Thank you for you're answers. Is there any possibility that bluetooth problem will be resolved in not very distant future?

From my reading in the forum I think it has been determined the chip may not support bluetooth so it may be unlikely we will have bluetooth.

yes, i agree with the gentleman above... ( remember reading it about a month ago ) plz use the search function to see the dev's answers. . . i believe the only hope is with getting the USB port more functional / useful, then you'll be plugging your BT device into it...
