I can get one for a slight discount at wm and wanted to know how worth it is a nook color? Is it easy to flash or more difficult than a phone. Just need some opinions. Thanks so much!

Basically the easiest thing you can root. Burn an image to your SD card with a couple clicks then drag over a couple files the stick it in and go through the flashing process. Completely unbrickable as long as you dont break the SD slot.

I'm going to go for a refurb with one year warranty and an sd image I have no reason to not get. Getting next week when I get paid. Just curious how is the performance in.cm7? How is 3D performace? Decent over clocking options? Sorry for the questions! Just trying to justify it when i have this phone. This tab is just so cheap and so much development! The answers are appreciated! Thanks so much.

I don't know much about 3D performance but with mine overclocked to 1.2GHrz I see no problem or lag with any game I've thrown at it. You can even play the games made for Tera CPUs using Chainfire. Most Nooks overclock to 1.2GHrz just fine.

Make sure bearing in mind that the NC is a pure e-reader that can be turned into tablet.
Must know that it has no hdmi, no gps, can't make phone call, no camera whatsover, .....
For 150 i can't be picky! Just making sure its worth it. I'll prob just do sd install for safety. Thanks for the help everyone I'm defnitely geting one next week. Is there anything like some models are incompatible with sd boot or anythng? Or if i order a refurb from b&n on ebay will I be all ready to go?

If you decide to run off the uSD, get the legit Sandisk class 2 or 4
Alright thanks. Would you reccomend actually flashing

I would recommend flashing to internal because it is much easier to upgrade, back-up, and troubleshoot. Also it is more stable. Check out the Link in my Sig to get started. You can always return to stock by just making a clockwork card as the Nook has SD boot priority.

The only thing youll really gain with the Thrill is 3D and a slightly bigger screen. You wont lose anything performance wise either. The Thrill has that wow factor with the 3d. Ultimately i chose the thrill because of the screen size and the 3d is just cool.
Just be aware that some people are having problems with their thrills rebooting randomly (i dont) and that MAY be the reason for the trade.

Damn tapatalk and the edit button being next the quote button...double post.
I would do the trade. You can switch back and forth between Thrill Roms and Optimus 3D roms. Only thing you'll be losing is higher pixel density and screen resolution.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
I had a atrix, now I have a thrill and sg2. I would wait on the rom and kernel development to get a Lil stronger before I traded. I think my multi-tasking was better on atrix. But if ur not big on memory intensive multitasking or lots of rom choices go for it. I only use 3d for wow factor but honestly I don't get anything outta it anymore.

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.
Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.
My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.
The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

The rezound is a Verizon US only phone.
My contract ends this time next year :/
IMO the galaxy s 3 looks ugly, if I wanted something else I would get a one s
It just looks good, fast, and cos the one x is too big
So I recently shattered the screen on my Rezound
Thinking of getting a Bionic since Big Red has them for free. What do you guys think of the Bionic? Is development going strong? And do ICS ROMs exist? Are they stable enough to be a daily driver? Any input is welcomed
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
If your warranty allows it, get another Rezound.
Development is not that active. Eclipse is the only active Gingerbread-base ROM available. Team Gummy & Hive Dev are doing ICS ROMs but since the locked bootloader of the Bionic prevents kernel changes, ICS is not 100% functional.
Well I have insurance on my Rezound but I don't have the $99 for the insurance claim and I have an upgrade on my plan now. Anything is better than the DX I'm using right now haha

I agree. I have the Bionic and my wife has the Rezound. I feel like I got the short end of the stick here.
You're better off to stay with the X and save up the insurance deductible, IMHO.
That being said, the Bionic ICS ROMs are nice, but they all have the silly camera issues. Those might not be resolved until an official Moto ICS is released. You can take pictures using the cameras, but no video, and no barcode scanners, etc.
Eclipse is a nice Gingerbread ROM. It's what I'm running now.
What if I could have both? Haha the upgrade is my moms, so it won't add time to my line. And later I can send the Rezound in to the insurance and get it fixed. Then I will have both. I don't see the downside in trading this DX for a Bionic for free. Because I cannot stand this phone after having my Rezound.

Personally I'm a big fan of the Bionic. I got mine on release day last September and haven't had any major problems in all that time. I'm rooted and stock, with about 45 bloatware apps frozen. Each time there's an update I just unfreeze, update and refreeze with TiBu. Works great. If you don't want to spend the money for another Rezound I say go for it.
Unfortunately this is no longer an option for me. My girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to dump gatorade on her uninsured Rhyme. So now the upgrade will be going to her. Looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet and make an insurance claim

Lol phone 101 class? ?? I get my phones from Verizon . I cant help the data drop issues ( which is a KNOWN issue with this phone ) do a google search on the data drops and you will clearly see its not just me. If it dont bother you that the data drops off multiple times a day and you are used to sub par performance and you dont mind paying for data droppage thats you but I personally want my phone to work . The 905 update is rolling out to try and fix the DATA DROP ISSUE. There you have your first phone 101 lesson.

Moving to Q&A
Hey guys, pretty straight forward.
Just to let you know, I really don't want an HTC one x, or any other phone with poor battery life.
Things that matter:
Screen size: 4in+
Processor
Camera quality
HARDWARE in general
Overall feel of the phone in your hand
I would prefer the least amount of plastic on the phone as possible.
Thanks guys

Plastic is a nice thing....
Do you have a carrier preference? Are you wanting to stay with VZW?
HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Outstanding battery life.
16GB internal storage and a micro sd slot.
Blazing fast processor.
It feels solid as a rock.
It has the best screen of any phone I have ever used, 4.7 inch.
The camera on this phone is phenomenal. Here is a thread with pics from it.
All in all this is the best phone I have ever owned.
The evo 4G is very intriguing.
As far as carrier, I don't care at all.
So far the phones in the race are:
Sony xperia ion
HTC evo 4g
Samsung galaxy s3
These are just so far. Feel free to offer any handset as a suggestion. I'll put up a poll when I get into the preliminaries.

I'm jelly of ya'll that have more than one carrier with service in your area.
Does the Nexus not even get a honorable mention simply because it gets the newest Android versions before any other phones? I agree that there is better hardware on the market, but I love showing off all the new features before anyone else gets them. My buddy just posted on fb how he got ICS on his RAZR, I replied "It can't do a barrel roll." Its fun to be smug about firmware lol.
I got my hands on a SGSIII and I liked it allot, big good looking screen, felt good in my hand, fast and smooth. I rooted it and gave it back to my buddy. Plus the Galaxy S phones have good development so you wont be waiting too much longer than Nexus for custom ROMs and such..
The nexus was in the running, but the camera threw it out for me.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
If you want to be certain you'll get 1st party updates without waiting them definitely Galaxy Nexus. The camera, however, isn't too good.
Personal suggestion is S2. I haven't found one con from this phone, it's fast,I like its screen,a lot of development here, camera is excellent. It also packs a 1 6GB flash memory and a micro SD slot.

Are there any issues with rooting or installing roms.

Are there builds that don't allow anything to be done?
