I downloaded the soft root 2.4.1, reverted back to 1.00 as per instructions, loaded the 2.4.1 onto my memory card, and now I have a few questions.
The launcher seems to be a modified version of the 1.4 icons and separating out the two games on the nook. The buttons are no longer rounded, but they do appear shiny rather than the flat colors used on 1.1. Other than that and a B&N button which looks like it keeps the same icons but combines the games under one icon, I see no difference between the soft root launcher and the 1.4 launcher I had previously.
I don't see a Trook icon, a launcher settings icon, or anything else that looks new. It also didn't ask which browser I wanted to use, which I've seen was present in earlier versions. In short, other than shiny squared buttons and a couple cosmetic changes, I don't see any difference nor can I access the features I expected to find.
Finally, when I plugged my nook into my PC, it tried to find a driver for the ADB and couldn't. I downloaded the Windows version and when I had the installer browse to that folder, it said it couldn't find a driver...odd.
Not sure what's happening.
