I have been using my Nook Color for over a month now, and I have still not settled on a specific ROM that I like. When I first bought the NC, I went for the simple root which opened up the possibility for me to install Android market apps. The problems that the stock rooted firmware presented, such as the ugly interface, led me to try using custom ROMs. First, I flashed a Froyo (2.2) ROM to an SD card and used that for some time. Later I installed a Honeycomb (3.0) based ROM to my internal memory. I quit using Honeycomb because the interface was too laggy, and apps tended to crash often. At that point I moved to Gingerbread (2.3) based ROM including Cyanogenmod, Ultimate Droid, and Phiremod. All of these had their good and bad points. Unfortunately, none of them could do video playback correctly. YouTube either didn't work at all, or had unwatchable frame rates.
