I like buying books from B&N the (0.00 cost ones ;)..I prefer the B&N reader so i've kept all the actual apps from B&N. otherwise, I use it as a tablet for games, facebook, twitter, etc. I get most of my epubs from sources other than B&N and can still read them using the B&N reader. I also use it for the Galaxy Tarot app, and surfing the net. Its pretty much left my G2 to being just a phone/txt msg's and to wifi tether my nook to for data. I also enjoy following/applying the hacks and root/dev stuff that comes out. I really love that its virtually unbrickable, currently, so i can screw it up and its easy to factory reset and start over, which i've not heard of in other devices(not saying they don't exist, just that i've not heard of any like that). Also, as a christmas gift, you can't beat it...lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cgdash:
I prefer the B&N Reader to the others I've tried. As mentioned previously it allows me to use EPUBs that I have, so it works perfectly. Other than that, I am using it as a normal android tablet for gaming and internet with Dolphin HD for my browser.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] laserbiz:
I am rooted and have access to B & N apps on my NT, but I screwed up and deleted the device manager2.3.4, so i cant buy anything from B&N. I may have to start from the beginning....Sigh:(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
I use the Reader app and pandora from B&N but beyond that I use it mainly for watching videos,web broswing with Dolphin HD but the only gripe I have is that I cant block ads so all the flash based ones kick in when I try to watch any flash based videos and it tends to slow down the tablet a little when there are multiple flash elements on a single page with my videos. I use slacker, pandora, google music, and audiogalaxy for music the first 2 for listening to songs I dont have and the second 2 for the songs I do have. I use Mx video player for videos and have Skifta set up so that I can stream my video collection from my PC to my nook tablet makes it a lot easier so that I dont have to carry around large video files on either my small 2 gig sd card or the nook tablet itself I just stream the videos from the dlna server from my pc to the tab using Skifta. I have a bunch pf the go apps installed including the go keyboard with the go pad plugin that lets me set how big the keyboard is in both landscape and portiate mode.

All android for me. I have no need for bn other than a place to take it to for replacement it if dies before my 2 year warranty is up. I am slowly learning how to set things up, it is the process of learning that has been so fun for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tel864:
I've still got all the B&N stuff but I seldom if ever go there. I normally stay on the rooted side now, mainly watching porn and such........Did I say that? I meant mainly watching educational videos and such.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KnowNothing:
All Android here, no BN left. However, I still get my paid books from BN, and simply load them onto my computer first.

Love Dolphin browser.

What I do with my Nook

Rooted, left most of the B&N stuff on, though I got rid of Hulu. I use Kindle and Overdrive for all my reading enjoyment (mostly free stuff). I browse (Dolphin), Facebook, Linkedin, DirecTV (for occasional scheduling), Moboplayer for videos, and PowerAmp for music. Oh, and netflix. I have some other newsy stuff like currents and the "News and Weather" app.

Otherwise, its a cool toy. Lots of one-time app usage. Easier to use on the subway than my iPad.

Will likely flash with new ROM once that hits.

Also use Evernote.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ash16:
I left my B&N stuff on there for times when I'm using it as an e reader. I also like the ability to download from the marketplace and use it as a regular tablet though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Ditto... (family knew I had a Nook Color before and so I've a few B&N gift cards to use up :) ) plus Overdrive for the library.

Primarily I use Dolphin but occasionally Opera Mini as it allows me to by-pass some of the blocks our work wi-fi has (i.e. I can open m.facebook.com on Opera Mini at work, but no facebook access through Dolphin or Opera Mobile...:rolleyes: ).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t4da2000:
+1 to that. I have no desire to put any B&N stuff on my NT due to the perplexed boot loader they restricted on this thing. I'm not a fan of paying for a product which includes "Tablet" in the name yet it's packaged as a glorified eReader I'm running snowball mod (mad props to CF). I have the Kindle app running so I'm good book wise.. I have the ICS music app and document viewer loaded which is exceptional in coolness. I'm eagerly awaiting these stellar DEV's to blow this device wide open with an ICS rom. I backed up device with CWM I'm content atm. The size of this device is perfect for storing in my small backpack when I ride the fixie. People at my neighborhood coffee shop flip out when they see how i tricked this thing out thanks to all of the cool DEV's and bloggers on here. Sorry for rambling on, basically I'm not reminded of B&N until it is booting up and when I go into the settings. ANDROID or else 4 me!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t4da2000:
Would also like to add that I use mines as a wireless keyboard/mouse/control for the media center PC. I'm running Unified Remote Pro on the NT (client) and the PC (server) so I can launch and control video/music/browsing?0/anything on the Media PC while sitting 12 feet away on the couch. Sure I could spend an extra 100+ bucks for a separate piece of hardware but it would be pointless when any android device can do it. The NT is the perfect size for this (especially the virtual keyboard).

I'm typing this reply via my 50 inch TV as a monitor and the NT as a virtual keyboard. Mad props to all the DEVs on here for helping us out and turning the NT into an Android rig. :-)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] straw10:
I use mine as a Tablet, but have one click of the N button bring up my B+N content and the 2nd click brings up the Android Tablet...using Dolphin as a browser.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
I use mine as a tablet most of the time. It is rooted running sw version 1.4.0 and OTA updates blocked. I kept all the B&N stuff for now because I use it as a reader too. With ADW launcher and home catcher, it has all the functionality I need until CM9 is ready for it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
I just bought one to make it a full android tablet. I just used my school financial aid so it was better to get on credit than putting up money lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t4da2000:
Yes it becomes a virtual trackpad decently comparable to laptops/netbooks.

1 finger single tap = left click

2 finger single tap = right click

2 fingers = scroll up/down depending on the direction the swipe

Single tap and hold on title bar = drag screen

>> Begin rambling here <<

The customized quick menu's makes it painless to toggle the remotes used most. Sometimes a left/right swipe will suffice.

What I like the most is the file explorer remote allowing one to select content on the PC directly from the NT (very cool feature).

I can't express my gratitude enough to these awesome devs for their diligent efforts with hacking the NT.

If it was up to B&N, all I would rave about is how stunning ebooks, netflix, videos, and web pages look on this thing.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
There's one main function I keep the original B&N interface around for: to demonstrate for people how lame the NT would be if it wasn't rooted! "If you get one, here's the awfulness you'd be stuck with if it wasn't for the geniuses devs over at xda!"

Okay, there is one other function I use the original interface for- to apply live wallpapers, although there are other ways to do that.

I don't buy things from the B&N store, and I use better third party apps for every function, so basically I could easily live without anything B&N.

Technically this thing is my wife's tablet, but I've commandeered it to use as a PDF viewer for work. I use it to view storyboards and scripts for animation. (Mantano reader free is excellent, the stock reader doesn't cut it at all.) Instead of paper clutter all over my desk, there's the NT. The small size is actually a big plus as it's easy to carry around everywhere, yet big enough to view storyboard pages/panels.

When I hand if off to the wife, she uses it strictly for entertainment- netflix, web, and games. It's an awesome little device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] todbanner:
This made me giggle.

I use mine as a tablet. Currently web browsing. Mostly this site at the moment. Im a BlackBerry. Power user by day. So all this android stuff is new and oh so exciting!!

I've still got all the bn stuff on mine, but I bought it asa tablet first not an e reader. Was simply drawn in by the price.

I use dolphin over the stock browser.

Im going to have a go at spoofing some other devices tomorrow to install some new appear. Pray for me;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HawaiianJohn:
I kept the B&N stuff just in case I decide to use it one day. So far I have no real plans for using any of the B&N stuff, but you never know. So for the most part, I use my NT as an Android Tablet. ;)

Rooted 1.4.0 with OTA block, Dolphin HD Browser, MX Video Pro, TuneIn and iHeart Radio.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gammaworks:
I don't get emotional about this...

First n button click gets me to BN side:

I have retained all the BN stuff, particularly for reading books. BN does know a thing or two about e-readers. Anyways, the OTA block kills the in-store reading feature, not surprised though. I buy content from BN store if the price is right. Cannot imagine I would loose them even if BN goes under.

Second n button click gets me to Go launcher:

For everything else, I use it as an Android tablet. Folks in the forum have recommended a list of must-have apps and so on...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dhkr234:
The thing is perfectly useless as a reader, unless you enjoy migraines and dead batteries. If you want a reader, buy a nook touch -- I have one of those as well. If you want a tablet, buy and modify a nook tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bobstro:
I'm seriously considering purchasing and rooting a NOOK Simple Touch to load up some basic productivity apps. I've missed having a daylight-readable screen since giving up my Palm V years ago, and the NST looks like it will do the trick. I just need corporate email, calendar, contacts plus basic document viewing. That, plus a week of battery life, will be a winner. The nice reader is gravy in my book.

Enjoying my Nook as a tablet!

I used Nook&Zergy root modified by me ;), debloted a bit manually to keep the library, reader, games, hulu+, netflix and pandora from B&N stuffs :D. Using GO launcher, miLocker for lockscreens and now im working in the eye candy for my nook, im porting the ribbon statusbar icons from MIUI themes ill post when i feel is ready to be released :cool:. Use dolphin for browsing, for movies i use specific web pages that have their own app in Android market to watch free movies and series in dvd quality, i dont read ebooks just pdf's, for desk help TeamViewer is a must and does the job for me ah and for vpn, proxy, stream personal videos and whatever i need in a future to access from my nook im setting up a new server at home.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Bought the tablet just because of the specs vs price ratio :)

Mainly use the tablet (rooted) for Comic reading, web surfing using Dolphin (it's the fastest browser around - I tried Firefox but is awfully flow), some gaming (world of Goo, AngryBirds, some tower defense games, etc).

My 3-year old son actually loves the Youtube app to browse and watch old Disney Cartoons as well...

Also, as I live in Germany, even if I wanted :p I wouldn't be capable of buying anything from the B&N website...

...just waiting for the ROMS to start appearing....:)

Cheers,

Giz
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] srenner:
I spend the most time in the browser (Dolphin) and Kindle app, and I use the ADW launcher. If I start buying books for my toddler, it will be with the B&N stuff. The "Read To Me" and "Read and Record" features seem pretty cool.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mhworley:
I use it as a Tablet. Makes doing the things I useto do on my phone much easier. I rooted it day 1. Can't wait for the devs to get CM9 running then I'll be super happy.

Tablet and Reader

).

I don't hate the B&N interface but it's no match for a customized Go Launcher home screen. I have the Nook Launcher app on my Go Launcher home screen to quickly show others how much better a rooted & customized NT is. I showed it to the guy working at the Nook desk at the local B&N store, he was really into it even though I'm sure he can't encourage customers to root.

I use mine mostly as a tablet to web surf (Dolphin HD), control my FIOS DVR, and as an e-reader. I use the stock reader because I have magazine subscriptions through B&N (Time & National Geographic) as well as books I've purchased from them. For my wallpaper I have Moon Phase Pro app displaying the actual moon phase, pretty cool!

As my own private expression over the locked bootloader, I have both the Android market as well as the Amazon App Store on the stock interface desktop. If I ever run into a B&N exec, I'll enjoy showing it to them!! What irks me most is that I do make purchases from them when the product is good (books and magazines). Rather than trying to lock me into obtaining everything from them, they would be better served by improving thier products (overpriced apps), giving me choice, and then I could help their bottom line by being able the recommend the NT to those not tech savy. As it is, I can only recommend it to those who can root and enjoy it's full potential. Too bad, it's a nice piece of hardware.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hookedonnook:
Wow. Please tell me how to do this. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xPhoenix777:
I agree, CM9 will be amazing. I just rooted mine last night.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shawner47:
+1 to this.

I use Aldiko for reading my books and SCViewer for comics. Not sure if they are the best at what they do, but they are all I know for now and haven't tried any others.

For my money, this is the perfect device as of this moment.

The devs here have been amazing so far and I am excited to see what they have in store for us in the future. Thanks, and keep up the great work guys/gals!

I really love the stock nook reader and use it for b&n books, but mostly for reading pdfs. Other than that, i use the kindle app and the google reader app (although i don't think its really any good...)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
I think this is a rhetorical question. No one who has successfully rooted their NT would use B&N stuff. It's too restricting to be useful.

One last thing, B&N blew it when they allowed only 1 GB of user content, while setting aside 12 GB to B&N content. This is probably the killer option that will push a ton of people to root or return their devices.

The only useful app on the NT is their reader. But even that will not be true any more very soon when CM9 is available for the NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
I use the B&N apps and still purchase content from them. Many other people have stated that they do the same -- in this thread. I like Reader app is much better than Adilko or the like. When a custom ROM is available the Nook for Android app will be one of my first installs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] friscomike:
Ditto. While the NT may have a few weirdnesses, I love the space, batterylife, screen and gazillian apps. There are a few features from my GNEX which I'd like to have like the blue cursor highlight tab, but no show stoppers. As for readers, I've read about twenty books on it and it never gets in the way of enjoying the book.

Best,

My phone is running stock, but it is rooted. Earlier today my phone showed a message saying an update was available from AT&T. Is it safe to install updates like this or will it brick my phone?

I don't mind if I have to root it again, but I would like to make sure It won't break anything else beforehand. CWM Recovery is installed.

I've attached a screenshot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ctomgee:
1. I would hope that a carrier update would have gone through the necessary QA to make sure they don't brick user's phones.

2. If you are getting this message, I HIGHLY doubt you have an I9100. You probably have an SGH-i777 (ATT specific model), or the Skyrocket (SGH-i727). So you would be in the wrong forum.

3. You will ALWAYS have to re-root after firmware updates. I believe CWM Recovery is attached to whatever kernel you have as well, so a firmware update will ALSO remove that. So you will probably have to re-flash your stock custom kernel after the update.

But again, as in #2, I'm only guessing since an I9100 user would likely NEVER get this message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XGhozt:
Yes, I posted in the wrong forum. My mistake. I used the "Find your Device" in the top right and it took me here. Normally I post in the other section.

Maybe a mod can move it for me.

Thank you for the feedback guys, I just wanted to make sure. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You say you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. That means you have a custom kernel, probably with stock UCKH7 and root. If that is the case, the update will probably fail because of the kernel.

You can be on fully stock UCKH7 plus root, and successfully do the OTA update to UCKK6. In that case, you will retain root.

There are several threads about updating, too many really. Please look through other threads for more info.
