Pardon the volume notification. I'm using the default screen capture method. Involves the volume down button. Haven't figured out how to do it without that showing up.

I have ADW Launcher. There are 5 desktops. You don't have to use them all.

Edit: Fixed pics. Thanks all for the help.

Thanks. Looks very nice, I'll definitively give ADW a try.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. You have been extremely generous with your help to everyone, and I hope people appreciate your time! It is interesting to see what apps you've installed. I recognize many of them because I have the iPhone versions. Although you are not helping with the temptation to root - ha ha!

I had problems with the volume in my screen captures too. Then I figured out that you should press and hold the home button first and then press the volume button with lightning fast speed! I mean like barely tap it and do it really, really quickly.

Thank you, but you are the queen of being helpful.

I was hoping someone would help with the screen capture!

For those of you following...
I got my children's books working on my Nook Color

I had to reinstall Adobe Air apk.
I think I had tried upgrading it from the market at one point and this broke the children books since it seems to use Air to play the books. Found a post about it on Xda forums.

Scion, the apps that I dragged onto the <whatever you call it> bar (you're showing 5 icons) are currently an outline of the original icon, and they're solid white, can't tell them apart. How did you get the actual icons to appear on that <thingy> bar?

(BTW, after practicing for a bit with screenshots, I found that if you press those two keys real quick-like, it doesn't bring up the volume window)

You may have graphic tinting on. Go into Settings, UI Settings, make sure Dock Icons Tint is unchecked.

Thanks for the screen capture tip.

Yep, that was sure it. Thanks!

Alright!!! You're welcome.

Anyone tried any of the apps yet that allows you to move files between the Nook and your PC through wi-fi so you don't have to plug this puppy in all the time? I've been eyeballing a couple, just not sure which one works best.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I think you're doing awesome at helping with the rooted NC's. I am learning a lot from you (and everyone else too) just by following this thread, even if I haven't decided to root yet.

Care to share?

These folks are talking about it over here:

Because there are simple apps at this point, I'd probably avoid the FTP server options unless you dig that kind of thing.

So far, after reading reviews, this one seems to be the best as far as I can tell:

Haven't tried it yet.

I guess this wouldn't work on the Nook, unless bluetooth connectivity gives us a microphone option, but wouldn't it be slick if someone wrote an app that could listen for, and scroll your sheet music as you play an instrument?
