[Nook Color General] FatherSauce:
I would say it's definitely worth it. I use this more than my laptop or phone (both of which I use to use extensively). I'm hard pressed to come up with a device that I'd rather have in the near future. Most rooting and install procedures are fairly easy and only require a small amount of reading to understand.

And don't be afraid of all the "problems" popping up. Most of those are beta builds (which you don't have to use) or people not reading instructions properly.
[Nook Color General] michaelg1030:
absolutely worth it. I bought the iconia tab and used it for two weeks and returned it because I couldn't deal with all the force closes related to HC. So I picked up the nook couple days ago and love it. It came without the newest update. I rooted it and installed cm7 to emmc. I have harbor problems with it. Ad hoc tether works with no modifications flash works perfect market is there.

Don't bother with the autonooter to install on the SD card since the be nook app has everything except read to me.

All in all my rooted nook color performs far better than the iconia tab I bought. Well worth the $250!
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Are you still able to mount CM7 to the eMMC based off that new thing with only 1GB is able to be used?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
If everyone who doesn't know the difference between rooting, flashing, ROMs, SD, eMMC and all the rest would please read this blog post, http://quinxy.com/guides/how-to-pick-your-nook-color-operating-system-and-install-options/ then this discussion may turn halfway coherent. Some of the version numbers may be out of date, but it will get you somewhat grounded in what's what.

As someone partly said, most of the problems you see come about because

1) people don't read directions

2) they just get hooked on tinkering with the thing and eventually something goes wrong.

A lot of the "problems" aren't even problems so much as the geek equivalent of a bunch of guys standing around a muscle car talking about whether to put on spoilers or stuff a subwoofer in the trunk.

I was initially planning to set up some kind of dual-boot on eMMC, but saw a really easy method for getting an SD install running, as well as a good card recommendation, and decided to take CM7 for a test-drive first. It runs so smooth from SD, I just dropped in an OC kernel and let it be. A lot of people are jumping straight to the beta, but I'm getting much better performance from the latest stable build, CM7.0.3, and I can deal with 5-6 hours use and two days on stand-by until they work out the other kinks in the beta. Everything I used for my build is at the link in my sig.
[Nook Color General] HarryCz:
So what you're saying is he should spend $250 today and then if they launch a faster, better NC next Tuesday for the same price that's fine?

Sound advice.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
If you want a goat, just say so. You don't have to lurk under that bridge.

But coming back from fairyland, the NC is a good value regardless of what comes out next week, which will probably be large-format e-ink and is almost certainly timed to keep the wind in the NC's sails, not leave it adrift.
[Nook Color General] richdaley:
I would be very surprised if it is some kind of upgrade to the Nook Color. B&N has to stay competitive with the $114 ad supported Kindle and I am guessing that this will be an e-ink reader in the $100-125 range or you could be right, it could be a large format reader. It seems unlikely that B&N would upgrade the Nook Color and then release a new one a couple of weeks later.

I have been lusting after the Asus eee pad transformer but that is mostly due to how much I love the Nook Color. I would never have considered spending more than $300 on a device like this but like an earlier poster, I use it more than my laptop or my phone.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Agreed.

Let me echo the thoughts of another poster: once the B&N Android App supported magazines, I saw no reason not to go with a CM7 install. I'm currently running Phiremod 1.2, and it's fantastic. Even though it's running the older kernel that doesn't put the machine into "deep sleep" I'm finding that battery life is great. It should easily last you all day. Just re-charge every night (which I do anyway) and everything is good.

I'm also loving the idea of the Asus eepad. I can't wait to go full Android and get windows (mostly) out of my private life for good. (Of course, as a Windows System Administrator it'll be a long time before I get Windows out of my professional life, LOL!)

I think we're still a couple of years off from Android becoming a viable OS alternative to Windows, but it won't be long, IMHO.
[Nook Color General] Garoto1973:
I have a rooted 1.2 with MN and I love this little baby!!! I overclocked stock rom to 1.1 mhz and it flies. I have had some visibility issues with the market but have been able to find most apps I want (had to sideload a few).

Now with the updated Nook app I might put CM7 or Phiremod into it but my stock OC setup works so nicely that I might hold off a little bit.

The 24th is near so I would wait and see but I dont think the announcement would be anything that makes the NC obsolete. My wishes for a NC 2?:

1. I think 7.5" or 8" would be an even better screen size, nothing bigger than that.

2. Native speed of at least 1mhz

3. Re design of the newspaper layout : keep the same format as today but add a "newsstand format" just like magazines, where I can see the ads and original formatting.

4. Bump memory to 1 gb

5. Gingerbread

Things I know I will never get:

1. Price drop to $225 or $200 ;)

2. on board GPS

3. Native full market access (as a tradeoff I'll let them block reader apps except Nook app)

3. Mini HDMI
[Nook Color General] IFLATLINEI:
Awww Cmon now gimmie a break. Im not important. If hes smart and theres no reason to think hes not then he will no doubt take into account everyones opinion here. You have 5 posts and your calling me out? Funny.

With that being said from what ive been reading the experts are expecting something to replace the E ink reader not the Nook Color. If they do release a Nook Color replacement well then is it really that big a loss? Does that make the Original that much worse? Not everyone is hung up on specs and even still the Nook Color has more room to grow.
[Nook Color General] HarryCz:
Wait a week - trolling and "calling someone out."

Okay.
[Nook Color General] noblerinthemind:
I bought the NC with 1.2 stock. I installed CM7 on my SD drive (make sure you use a Sandisk class 4 if you do this) and I'm liking it more and more everyday. Haven't tried HC yet.

Plus B&N doesn't have a problem with you monkeying with it, so long as you realize you're voiding the warranty. Spoke to a corporate guy who installed HC on his. They even tell you how in the manual apparently (corporate guy told me this, I haven't checked it).

My understanding is that NC doesn't run HC that great but CM7 works quite well if not better than other Android Tablets costing twice as much.

But as far as your original question - the 1.2 update makes no difference as far as I can tell unless you wanted to use Auto-nooter to easily nooter your NC (maintain the B&N wrapper over Android, ie, B&Ns reader-centric Android based user interface).

So don't let the update hinder your decision. I don't know if it's the best Android Tablet out there (Galaxy Tab 10.1 is supposed to be the first really great tablet when it comes out ) but it's definitely the best reader.

My 2.
[Nook Color General] angomy:
TBQH I don't see why B&N can't do what Amazon is doing, which namely is almost the full market without the Nook or Kobo etc etc ereader apps. I don't mind the current stock that much except for the app market only has 151 apps; it's gone up by 10 since release but that is slow (not to mention prices are 2-3x higher than Android Market).

I like the 7" form factor but wish they'd make it wider; 1024x600 is really narrow for reading web pages (which I do in landscape mode) 1024x768 or 1152x864 would be nice with an inch or 1.5" increase in width. Oh, and upgrade the OMAP chip so we can actually hardware de-encode 720p movies :P While we're at it, how about an upgrade to Gingerbread/Honeycomb 3.1 with a set of dedicated keys replacing the status bar softkeys....
[Nook Color General] ahfo:
Depends on what you want it to do. For me, it worth.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Personally, I'm a fan of the softkeys. They've made me lazy about the effort involved in actually depressing a physical button :p

I think the NC has done well in hitting on an optimal number of softkeys. I would prefer a volume rocker to the two recessed buttons, and maybe something that could serve as a play/pause button without whipping the thing out. Maybe I could remap power with a special exception for the music player?
[Nook Color General] akaCat:
I don't think it's in the standard manual, but it's definitely in the "Nook Book" they were selling next to the NCs a couple of months ago.

Though the key part of the instructions was "go to xda-developers.com". I copied the url and skipped buying the book.
[Nook Color General] blakeg:
The hardware is still worth it to me. I could care less what version of the OS B&N are on these days. I promptly installed CM7 on mine and have been thrilled.
[Captivate General] iamsamora:
Long story short, I messed up my Captivate.

I am on a mac so no odin... can anyone give clear instructions on how to install a new firmware in recovery mode or using a mac with adb?

I have searched and searched but still have no clue on where to begin.

Thank you in advance
[Captivate General] DaNaRkI:
Start here read all of what the topic says. Yes I know it's a tad long but you'll wanna read all of it because I'll bet 95% of the questions you'll have or issues you'll run into will be covered.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
search for "heimdall"

it may need a terminal window open to use it. i dont know macs very well but i run in in mint with kde and like it. i think there are mac packages but if not it can be compiled for mac, sorry i cant help in that area.

it's much like odin but is developed and maintained by someon in the comunity and is all open source.

you can also use virtualbox or similar virtual machine software and install windows on it and run odin in the virtual machine.

edit: heimdall download page

http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
[Captivate General] 1tontomato:
If your on a mac then your your only options are get a copy of windows and install on your mac thru bootcamp.	Heimdall works on a mac just fine if you have the right bootloaders but if you ever used odin oneclick to flash back to stock then for sure you have the wrong ones and since it's common to flash to stock to root your and flash a custom rom. I don't know of any one who has used it successfully on a mac in that specific situation. Another option is to use Odin with VM on Linux machine or just use a friends machine.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i used odin oneclick many times, and heimdal works, only you need bootloaders if you select repartition. i just flash with no pit file or bootloaders at all. also i used heimdall with gb bootloaders on it. no problem.

you only need pit if you repartition. you only need to repartition of you messed up the filesystem badly, and for heimdall if you use repartition the program requires bootloaders as well as pit. odin couldnt care less if you have the bootloaders or not for repartition. im not sure why but that is how heimdal works.
[Captivate General] 1tontomato:
You did this on a mac?

why would the mac be different from linux if the problem is withthe bootloaders on the phone. seems illogical but i guess i have seen stranger things
[Captivate General] 1tontomato:
Here is a link to the i9000 forums that explains a little better but the bootloaders on the 2.1 rom don't allow the phone to register in the mac OS. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878686

ohh it's similar to a driver issue, i though you meant it would cause a problem with the phone for some reason. i get it. that can suck because vm software can be a pain. you may need to manually install the drivers in windows when it is a guest os.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h0ng:
Hi everybody!

I just got my new HD2 from USA.

It was already installed with:

Android 2.2

kernel is:

2.6.32.15-g66f6ed7-dirty

cotulla-desktop #2

My questions are:

1- How do I found out which "Distro(?)" is installed on the phone? (Cyanogenmod etc)

2- How do I add a Swedish QWERTY-keyboard? At the moment I have Swedish wordlist etc, when I use the COMPACT-QWERTY, I have the Swedish symbols, but when I'm using (and what I want to use) the "normal" Swedish QWERTY-keyboard, there is no Å,Ä or Ö.

3- Is there anything else I should think about with this phone(+android)? I'm new to Android, was an iPhone fan, but hell, I thought I should try this out, and so far, I'm only surprised in a positive way.

Thanks!

in Windows Mobile, the screen timeout and lock were independent, so you could have the screen turn off in a few seconds, but the password lock only come on after an hour or whatever, is there a way to do that on Android, or an app that does it?

If your good at scripting you can decompile the juice defender app and see how they do it. Jd has a feature to allow password lock to be delayed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potatoboyjs:
There is a small delay from the screen sleep to the lock. You have to be patient to test it because if you turn the screen off yourself with the power button then it's instantly locked as well. If you let the screen sleep on it's own, you have a little window of time to turn it back on unlocked.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strike_Eagle:
Nodo Is an Official Windows Phone 7 Update from Microsoft.

Flash means you install the OS for your phone. Like you install Windows for your PC, but we call it "Flash A ROM" for a Phone. It basicly has the same meaning, "Install the OS for the device", just different in the way we call it.

Anytime you installd a new Update for your phone, you have "flashed" your phone. With Windows Phone 7, you don't have to flash it manually, you have Zune flash your phone for you.

BTW, "Flash" your phone is a dangerous job, make sure you do exactly every single step if you don't want to turn your phone into the most beautiful brick you have ever had.
