What about a 1.5 softroot with FOLDERS?

zardoz73 · 12-31-2010, 09:10 PM

Apologies if this has already been answered, but I can't seem to find it.

I rooted my Nook, and then the 1.5 update came out, which seemed to delete my softroot, so now I'm on the B&N 1.5 firmware. Which is good for one reason-the pageturns are a lot faster now. But the new "shelves" feature is a cruel joke: you have to individually shelf each book, and even then that just groups them together in My Documents.

I want FOLDERS. Folders in the My Documents section. And subfolders in those folders. When I softrooted before, there was something like what I wanted with Trook, but it utilized the touchscreen, the Nook's Achilles Heel. The touchscreen burns up the battery too quickly. I would like to have folders in the My Documents screen...is there a softroot that can do this AND maintain the fast pageturn of 1.5?

Yes, there is a new 2.5.1 softroot that is like the old softroot with the 1.5 update. It is in the '1.5 update is here' (or something like that) thread. I would normally search for it for you, but I am just on for a second because I had to check something else and peeked in here.

The thread you want is here. For some reason, nookdev aren't supporting or listing the last softroot that came out last month.
