Classic Got a rooted nook, suggestions?

Shades · 11-09-2010, 01:01 AM

Hello, I am a newbie around these parts.
A week or so ago I got a nook. I decided to get the wifi only version since it would suit me best. The nook color in my opinion is a horrible ereading device, I do not like staring at a bright lcd screen when I am reading novels.

Anyway, today I finally got around to rooting my nook. Took me hours to get everything right since my nook is a 10039 model that came with 1.4.3 fw.

I do not have much on it right now. I have Trook, Market, Nook Launcher, and "my books" (got rid of the my library menu button).

What else would you guys suggest I get for my new nook?

may as well download all the latest versions of all the apps available, not many out there anyway. the softroot comes with older versions of some of the key apps like the library, so a good idea to update.

My softroot came with nothing since I had to manually do the softroot. Had to install the apps I have my self.

My suggestions is do what i've done : install NookMarket, and from there install every applicaiton available.

This way you will have everything in the last version and only display the icons you use most.

which guide / how-to did you use?

I used a combination. I am a little tech savvy, so I knew that it was not going to be so easy. Spent all day getting it all done correctly.

I used this one mainly:

Had this one open just in case I needed it:

And used this one for the last few steps:

I do not have Windows 7 so I only used the last one for connecting the Nook via adb. If you have Windows 7 though I suggest using the last guide. It is far easier to follow and understand. I had to do a few guesses with the router method since the guides did not elaborate too much in some steps.
