Just didn't want to clone a software based mac address or something. Thanks for the answer though.

I just got one of these cards. Will it be ok to use it for custom roms or should I get another type ?
What is the easiest and best way to partition it correctly ?
Will some of the new Rom's do this for you after you root and wipe ?

New nook color. Have some questions

Love it so far. Few questions:
1) Whats the best rom for it so far?
2) Once its rooted can you use the kindle app on it?
3) I currently have a few megazine subscriptions set to it. Once its rooted will I still be able to access them using the Nook app? Thanks!

1) CyanogenMod 7, IMO, is the best for any number of reasons. Read the the threads on this board for more info.
2)Yes
3)The nook app in the market can now read magazines. I've read NatGeo and it works great.
Also whats the best kernel for the nook?

Kernels are Rom specific. Find a rom you want to use, read the entire thread regarding said rom, and pick you kernel after that. For example....CM7 nightlies, stables, and Phiremod all use a .29 kernel. CM7.1 Beta 3 uses a .32 kernel, and the stock Barnes & Noble Firmware has it's own kernels with their own thread in the dev. section. Make sure to read any applicable threads, so you don't have to start a new thread about how you broke your Nook LOL.

Unless you are experimenting to determine what happens when you do something a dev says not to do.

How do I root?

Hey guys, so I have an s3 MINI GT-I8190L and I was wondering how do I go about rooting the phone? It is currently on android version 4.1.2 JellyBean. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
Hello, try this thread :good:

Your version is 4.1.2 and the rom suggested by Calculating Infinity is 4.1.1, so I think you will have to do a factory reset after or else you might have a lot of force close apps.

Would I need to add the PIT file in odin when flashing this or just the PDA md5 file by itself?

Heimdall somehow doesn't read my phone on my Ubuntu partition yet ADB does, yet my Win7 partition has it in reverse (Odin yes, ADB no).

Can someone post the Motorola Dialer APK?

Yep, it's kinda tricky when there's no ROM or factory image to pull it from. No worries, my buddy is gonna post it for you shortly.
sorry guys im not rooted but what you can do is take the rom from the nand backup thread and us the app Nandroid Manager and us that to remove the dialer app from the backup. Thats the only way I know of to help you. Hope that helps

Alright, I downloaded the nandroid and put the dialer in system/priv-app. But even after setting all permissions and everything it still refuses to work. I get a force close error. This is driving me crazy!!!

You set perms to RW--R--R and rebooted?
And the .odex for it?

Yeah, it shows up in the launcher but its force closing.
Not sure, but maybe its cause the nandroid was on a different version?

I dunno, I'd think it would work regardless of the version, as long as it's the lollipop one. Have you tried clearing data for the dialer?

Yeah. Its wierd. All permissions are right and everything. I tried clearing the data. I might just install the entire backup as that has to make it work. I never would of dreamed of having this big an issue with a simple thing on my old nexus 5 haha.

Yeah well the N5 is a completely different animal. There are a couple system images over in development, just grab one and dirty flash it. You should be good to go then without losing any of your data.

Anyone could please send the marshmallow one?

I need a FULL backup!

FlashFire or Titanium Backup are good starting points. Note both are dependent on a working rom for backup -and- recovery as there is no mechanism for using a custom recovery with a 5.1.1 bootloader.
By full backup I meant "stock firmware".
I found it, and installed. Sadly didn't fix the problem I have with my fire. ?
