Thanks, but I know about the market. I'm not new to Android just new to the Nexus 1.

For what? Flashlight/Tether available without rooting. Updates to froyo available without rooting.
Unless he's a developer with a need for root access, why?

because if he doesnt root, he will burn in that white notification bar causing merpanent image sticking to the pixels at the top of his screen. rooting will let him use a black notification bar. seriously, that's the main reason why i rooted and suggest others to as well. i would wait till his 14 day period is over though. however it only took my phone less than 1 month to already show pixels wear of the notification bar.
i'm curious if he sees any on his brand new unit already.

Thank you all!

I've been lurking for a while gathering all of the info i need, so i can be prepared.
I was able to get a nook on ebay for 170 with a nice leather case, and a pack of screen protectors. basically brand new. got a 8 gig, class 4 sandisk card, and flashed CM7 stable, gapps, and the overclock module flawlessly. everything works like a charm. Nexflix works great, and pretty much any app ive put on it. some apps show small like for a phone, but otherwise its great. Just a big thanks to everyone who contributes.

Oh man, that did it! thank you! im pretty much set now.

Stumbled upon this by accident...thanks for the tip!

i am still on Manual Nooter after a couple of weeks...
I am a bit afraid to move at the moment to CM, as everything works pretty well.
In addition i dont find some instructions so clear (for an accountant!) so i am stepping back for the moment.
Of course it might be very easy to update to CM, by just putting a zip file in the update folder, but i am not risking it at the moment!

That thread is all you need to know to get CM7 running. Only takes a half hour or so.

2nd the thank you.
I second the thank you. I certainly appreciate the work done and the information provided.

I agree.
I was looking at getting a NC WAY back when people were first rooting it but luckily a techie guy I know told me to wait for CM7. So once that came out and people were raving about it I went ahead and bought one. Honestly the CM install process was a little confusing to me so I just paid someone to do it for me. But I've gotten a little more comfortable with it now since I bricked it a couple of times trying to install kernels but was able to restore through CM Recovery.
Between playing games, downloading apps, surfing the internet and reading books, I'm on my NC for probably 3 hours a day or so. I love this thing. I know I'm not even scratching the surface of what this thing can do but it works great for me.
I even donated to XDA today. Where's my star?!?!

I read the comments of the people in you tube, and now i am even more afraid to do it! So many people have problems!
Sent from my NOOKcolor using Tapatalk

I understand that feeling but keep in mind......the comments are usually from the minority of problems encountered. The vast majority of attempts were successful but you usually don't see/hear those comments! (Most problems I have had in the past rooting/modding the two NCs of mine were my own fault. Read carefully and have at it!)

Don't worry about messing up your nook, it is nearly impossible to brick, and if it does not boot then, you get the pleasure of learning how to use cwm.

Racks, I see from your signature you are running CM7 nightly# 25. You should try the latest nightlies. They are awesome!
Cheers!

Anyone Have The Latest Facebook.apk?

The latest market has this issue with telling me apps aren't compatible with my device, and it just decided Facebook is no longer compatible. I removed it and went to download it again but it won't let me.
Can someone post a link for me to the apk, please.

Sorry to hear, but it's good to hear at the same time. I've been getting that a lot as well and am tired of it. I thought it was just specific to us in Belgium. Is that Google's way of getting us to upgrade from the N1?

Yeah, Yahoo Fantasy Football says its not compatible as well. I've been seeing it lately out of no where. It's really frustrating.

Are you guys using density changer? I read in another thread that it will cause the not compatible issue.

Yes I am. I changed it back to normal for a day and got the same results. Should I of waited longer?

I do mine manually through build.prop but yes, I do change it.

That was it. Reset to 240 (N1 default), cleared all cache from Market 3.1.3, basically running it for the first time, and I had 18 updates available. Thanks for the advise!!

I didn't have any issue with the update for Facebook at all.

Just got a Nexus, have some questions

Hi,
I was really hoping the rumors would have been true and the Nexus 7 2 would have been announced. I was ready to pre-order last week. That didn’t happen so I pulled the trigger on the current Nexus 7. While I'm disappointed that I didn't get to get the brand new one I am VERY happy with it so far. I also got the official Nexus dock and a keyboard case. I have to say the official dock is so great I may buy a 2nd one! It’s overpriced but soooo nice.
Anyway, one thing I want to do right away is be able to get and send SMS texts from my phone on my N7. I have a Droid Razr Maxx by the way. What is the best software to do this?
Is there a free way to turn on the wireless tether on my Razr so I can connect my N7 to it? I also play Ingress and it would be cool to be able to use the N7 for that.
I'm not ready to root and try a custom ROM yet but what are some of the "must have" apps for the N7? Any info would be great!
Thanks

Possibly, but being mad about not being able to buy something which doesn't even exist yet is a waste of time and energy

He didn't say he was mad. He was hoping for a new release, there wasn't so he just bought what was available now.

Save the disappointment for when the new version is actually released I guess
Current logic is flawed, that's all. I'll shut up now, carry on.
FWIW OP, I was expecting an updated OS, when that didn't happen I unlocked, rooted, and began flashing whatever I wanted

Exactly. I wasn't going to buy the current one until after the big Google announcement. That would just be dumb. But again, I love this device so lets stop talking about "what if" or "when it does come out"... I want to talk about the cool things this one can do.
:cyclops:

Since its brand new, i'd recommend unlocking and rooting right away, just to get that out of the way should you wish to flash stuff later. Better to do it early since unlocking wipes everything and there's little data to keep that early. Having said that, I just finally unlocked/rooted after months of ownership and replacing all the data was trivial. Just a recommendation.
It's a very capable tablet completely stock, I just like tweaking things and the tablet UI is cool IMO.

[Q] Any work happening on the 2013 Kindle Fire HD?

The price to specs ratio on the new KF HD (not HDX) looks great. I'm thinking about picking one up for my daughter. If there any work towards root or custom ROMs on this device? If I could load even stock 4.3 onto this device, it would be an instant purchase.

It's gonna be a while.

I came here looking for the same info... I actually have the 2013 model and wanted to put n2a on it, but realized that would not work (why I came here)... Hope it's not too far off... interested in playing with this device more.

What's your opinion of the hardware?

I really like the Fire HD 3rd Gen... It is smooth and clean. I only have the 8GB model but I really look forward to turning it into an Android device soon! It's a waiting game at this point. I am sure someone is working on it... :fingers-crossed:

Someone has started to work on it. @Hashcode is an awesome developer, so you can guarantee there will be something in the future. Check it out here.

Someone has reported that they have rooted the 2013 KFHD with binary root located on here. This is just something I saw on here last night from a user. Take that as you will.

I believe that is our generation not the second iteration of the hd.
