I got some "Nookie" last night and I'm loving it!

I recommend this for the more daring people although its very simple to install, although getting the market and gapps running takes a little adb skill

Oh and market works from the web browser

I'm still running off the SDCard. And when I found out how trivial it was to overclock the device I had to try it out. (On an SDCard all you have to do is drag and drop the overclocked kernel file to the sdCard and download and android app to control the overclocked speeds)

The performance was significantly noticable, but not huge. Scanned PDF files loaded faster and was easier to page through them w/o looking at a blank screen, Web pages loaded faster and a game that was near impossible to play because of the lag was smooth and very playable.

One thing that I did notice was that I installed the 2.2 on an 8GB SD Card and I decided to make use of that wasted space, the image by default only loads 2GB. When I expanded the SD Card to use the whole 8GB the android device was laggy for a very long time. It was very painful to use.

A few days have gone by and now the device is as responsive as the first time I applied the OC kernel. I'm thinking that the android OS must scan the whole disk and spends some time catching in order to optimized the performance. So be warned.

BTW If you do overclock your devices, I'd be very interested in hearing improvements on the speed.

Can you post some quadrant scores? I'd be interested in seeing the improvements you get when you compare eMMC vs a flash drive.

Gawd that is soooo over my head...Im glad I got it rooted with no probs...Im years away from "overclocking" it !!!

I had trouble with quadrant scores. I am running at 1.1ghz. It kept getting stuck at 11/12 AAC decode, but finally after a reboot it worked and I got a quadrant of 1260, same as a Droid X 2.2 and a little faster than my Evo . What do you get off the SD card?

Edit: Round 2 I got a 1342 score.. lets run it again

Edit: Round 3 I got a 1335.. So its pretty fast on the quadrant.

Ehh its not that bad, and with the excellent developers out there, its getting easier every day.

I dont think I even know what overclocking it means, even if I could do it.

It makes it run faster.

I have just rung DHL and I am not getting any nookie tonight. I do have my SD card already though, but had to use a netbook with windows 7 because my laptop with XP refused to see the micro, even with the patch installed.

My three results where all over the place too
Here are the runs

1: 1310
2: 1510
3: 1460

I ran the as same test on myr rooted samsung s
The samsung ran at 1510+ for each run but the fps where always at 50+ where the nook was around 15+ fps.

I take it you are running the quadrant on 0.5.9 nookie? Evidently quadrant scores are a bit lower on 0.6.6. There is also a new 1.1ghz kernel out that I need to try.

Amazing scores on the Sammie. The gpu in those really hum. My evo gets about 15 fps as well.

Yes, well technically I'm running 0.5.8. That is interesting that the 0.6.6 is slower than the 0.5.9

The quadrant test does not really expose the slowdowns caused by the class 2 sd card I have. I'm not sure what test does but that benchmark would also be interesting.

Yes that was one of the deciding factors for me... and the Super AMOLED screen. I see a huge difference when looking at the nook vs Samsung. Reading on the samsung s is awesome, esp with the night settings.

Im sure that definitely does make a difference in speed. The eMMC install seems alot faster than 0.5.9 on my class 6 sd card, even if the quadrant scores were higher. I didnt really run Froyo all that long on sd to give it a chance everyday, and I didnt have it OCed either. Ive read running it off sd is approximately the same experience.

I almost got the Epic 4G instead of an Evo, but for my purposes, the Evo does great (especially serving up 4G to my NC )

I have a question about this-- I'm a historian and so use a lot of heavily bookmarked pdf's which means that the stock Nook PDF reader is nearly unusable. (think 1000 page files).

But I'm nervous, read scared about rooting, so here are my questoins.

1. If I use the Froyo SD card method, is their anyway it might brick the nook, or does it leave the basic nook system untouched, so that if you remove the card everything goes back to normal?
2. When running froyo from the SD card, can you see/access files in the onboard nook memory, documents and books?
3. IS there anything I need to be worried about here?
4. If I root it, and get say, ezpdf, will the performance be good enough to be worth the rooting in reading pdfs?

I overclocked a TI SR-11 once and created a gateway to an alternate universe where everyone spoke Esperanto, had hands where there feet should be and feet where there should be hands.

I dropped the calculator to the ground and crushed it beneath my shoe.

I have never overclocked anything since!

1) No risk, but the author still says use at your own risk just because you never know.
2) No, you cannot see the internal memory.
3) No.
4) If you run off the card you do not have to root. But to answer your question, yes for me the nook was not viable as a pdf reader until I rooted the nook. EzPDF is good but repligo is by far the best PDF reader.
