Hope you could give any suggestions and help. Really appreciate it 
If I root my NC, will I still be able to download my books from B&N? Will my magazine subscriptions still update automatically? It said in this thread, that I won't loose my conent already on the NC or if that was the case I could redownload them. But what about subscripitons? You can still download. Subscriptions will be updated automatically.
Will the battery life suffer when rooted? I haven't found any comment on that. Somebody asked the question, but it wasn't answered I'm afraid (or I missed it?) Those who have rooted report that battery life is unaffected. Of course since it's a rooted device, you have the capability to do more stuff than the stock device, thus using more battery.
One of the main reasons to root would be that I want a better reader for PDFs. Is there on available in the Android Market, which allows seach, Bookmarks, Markings...? ezPDF reader is a popular one. Many say it's the best of what's available for Android.
And then I've read of "Softkeys" the whole time. As I'm not familiar with any Android stuff, could please somebody explain what they are and what they do? Many recommend Button Savior instead of SoftKeys now. They both allow you access menu options within the application that normaly wouldn't show. Some have difficulty configuring SoftKeys, others simply don't care for the look of it, I prefer not to use my "n" button so much (SoftKeys makes use of the "n" button). If you use the auto process to root, SoftKeys is installed.
Thanks in advance |
See red text. Thanks for reading the thread.
