I just rooted last night and installed LauncherPro. I love your setup, that looks like you've got everything just where you need it. Well done, great vid.

@redtmk You have to use another android device to set it up the way you want and then port the backup through SD to your Nook and restore that backup..

[marioman013]

Hey Thank you. Because of this video, I went ahead and rooted my nook color. I see you are from Union City. I'm from WNY lol long time ago. I am wondering if facebook gave you any problems? It works for me, but it doesn't load any pictures, it just gives me the triangle with the exclamation mark...If you had any issue with it or any advice, I would appretiate it.

[datterboy]

@marioman013 I have started seeing this problem too. I think it has to do with Auto Nooter and the current app version for Facebook as I also run Nookie Froyo from SD and don't see the problem there.

[Vmosley15]

my man you have the hottest nook ive seen out there to date man...keep up the good work bro

[guhansu]

Can I ask whether the youtube app really works? Can I log in with my own youtube account?

[datterboy]

@guhansu It does work. Very well. However, when you log in to see your videos and subscriptions you must log out before you leave the app or it will fail to launch on reopen. This is easily fixed by clearing the YouTube app data in Titanium, but you'd want to avoid having to do that.

[datterboy]

@guhansu For sure.

[jpscar94]

the nook is the best tablet but its not even a real tablet confusing right?

[datterboy]

@jpscar94 B&N did not want it to be a tablet, but it is. They just wrote custom software to limit it's capability.

[kfruen82]

Great video! I'm a recent nook color adopter, and I've rooted it using auto-nooter, but I'm having difficulty getting smooth video playback. How did you get Cars to run so well on your nc?

[datterboy]

@kfruen82

You have to encode each video to be less than 852 pixels wide.

[highwaterjones]

Best video representing what root can do for you on the Nook. Cheers!

[IncendiarySolution]

With a converter, will it work with a keyboard like the ipad?

[datterboy]

@IncendiarySolution

Apparently the Nook Color has Bluetooth. If the talented gents at XDA get it working it just might, but does not at this time.

[Namicuti]

hii, i really like your setup! May i ask, what calendar app is that on your homescreen?

[datterboy]

@Namicuti

It is the LauncherPro Plus Calendar widget you get when you purchase the full version.

[flonkas]

Good video and I like the song. Gonna grab a nook next week :D

[MYTHIRDSHADOW]

Can you pinch to zoom straight from the box? I mean stock>?

[datterboy]

@MYTHIRDSHADOW

No. Zooms are handled with +/- buttons out of box. No pinch zooming. However, I do believe pinch zooming is enabled for the default PDF reader in stock.

[dpuyau]

What kernel are you running? Screamer? You don't seem to have any lag which is crazy considering how many apps you are running

[datterboy]

@dpuyau

This is stock Nooter. No kernals done to it. I generally don't experience lag and I do a lot on the tablet.

[Parseven]

I can't get my LauncherPro to let me create shortcuts or folders on the home screen of my rooted Nook Color. I noticed you used these features extensively. Know of a fix I can try?

[datterboy]

@Parseven

you can make shortcuts to apps by accessing the appdrawer and holding the app of choice.  After a long press, you will be taken to the home screen where you can drop it where you like,

[sprendes]

Which cover have you? How do you fix the nook in it?

[datterboy]

@sprendes

Not sure what the name of the cover is but it has a set of plastic holders in it to keep the Nook firmly in place. It also has magnets in it so the clasp can keep it shut when closed and the covers together when open. Sold by Barnes and Noble.

[hairlista86]

how did you get infra/adhoc access? I'm reading about it on xda but I'm just not getting it...

[datterboy]

@hairlista86

Check the notes above for the links to the thread I used for this

[kingbamm03]

I HAVE MINE ROOTED WITH THE AUTO 1.00 AND IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THIS. I WOULD RATHER GET MINE TO LOOK LIKE THIS.

[datterboy]

@kingbamm03

You have to customize it with Launchers and Widgets

[hairlista86]

awesomeness! I just rooted mine and I'm trying to get acclimated :)

[datterboy]

@hairlista86

Rooting it is part of the fun. One of the funnest hobbies I've done in a while.
