Am I "full" rooted?

[spm]

Well ... I have done the steps in nookdevs to root my nook except the ADB Access ...
Need I do this???
(sincerily, I've installing "all I need" without this and I dont know for what I need).


However there is some situations perhaps are due this ...
When I open superuser app (what is for?), my app list is empty.

Please, tell me if I need ADB Access (and for what) and if it is normal my superuser app is empty.

(please, excuse my spanglish ... I understand better I write/speak)

It sounds like you are, you don't have to use ADB to be fully rooted.

It just helps in hacking and sideloading installs that require you have access to the /system/app path. If you buy root explorer you can accomplish most of those things w/o having to used ADB.

thanks for your quickly response.

and ... can you tell me anything about the superuser.apk?
I've noticed that when I tap some icons in softkeys (search, arrow and list) it says "unable to execute as root").

if I rooted I thought I was superuser/root ...

I noticed the same thing with softkeys.apk, I didn't peruse it because I installed "Button Savior" and did away with softkeys. (Note that even with the error softkeys still works).

Well superuser.apk requires super user(root) access so if you where not rooted superuser would not work, in this case it's softkeys that does not work.

spm, just a few things to note (my lay person's understanding anyways):

1) Superuser - it's my understanding that some apps require access to specific system files, files that normally wouldn't be accessible to just any application. When an app attempts to access these files for the first time on a rooted system, it will usually ask you if it's okay to do so. I liken it to Windows Vista user access control constantly asking for permission to do something. Most of the apps that folks speak about here on this forum are trustworthy, as far as we know, and we generally give them superuser access when requested. If you fail to do this, it's very possible that the app will never operate properly.

2) Newly rooted folks - the one thing that you are probably going to want, if you haven't already found it (I gather you haven't as your desktop probably doesn't look much different than it did prior to rooting), is a "launcher." There are a few good ones, but I know that many of us use ADW.launcher (the free one), which can be downloaded and installed from the market. Your NC needs a launcher when it starts up to show some kind of desktop, as if Android is missing this from the start (like starting up Windows to a black screen and no function = no launcher). Once you install the launcher and reboot the Nook Color, upon your next bootup, the device will ask you which launcher you want to use, the default B&N, or ADW, you would want ADW (and check the box to enable this as the default). I was originally new to Android and didn't know that a good launcher really makes the device.

thanks for your help ...
However I have some doubts yet ...
I suppose the questions I had to do were:
What users can I be (root, superuser, ....)?
Which one am I (root, I suppose ... softkeys say to me "unable to execute as root")
What is the superuser.apk use? (I can open it ... but apps and log are empty)

thanks again

Your neither, just plain jane user.

what superuser app does is grants only specific apps 'root' privileges. So in this case it would give "soft keys" root privileges. It's a security feature that helps you from hurting yourself since a root user can pretty much do anything to the system.

Open up superuser and see if you can manually grant softkeys superuser access.
