Hi Everybody!! I'm a new user here who's gonna get a Nook Color !!

Just a question for all those pros out there,
which type of microSD card is suitable for Nook Color?
16gb can work? Need at least how many class so tat won't hav problem?

I'm really confused which choice of SD card out there...so many variants @_@

So buy class 6 then can adi ah? makes sense oso...tatz wat the seller told me too ^^
Anyway, dh3x, can u tell me wat capacity u using? Coz i read online tat 16gb has a lot problem, but is it true or not?

Ok, i see, then for memory cards which brand recommended? Any significant difference in brands since some brands the pricing r so different?

ok, 1 more question, which type of rooting method did u guys use? (cyanogen,Honeycomb, nookie froyo?)

***Just read this post, it's really helpful for starters like me !!

I just wondering, example if u rooted the nook color then B&N release an update wat will happen eh?
Do we hav to :
• root again?
• no changes?
• there's a fix for tat?

Maybe u can consider shinogawa in Garage Sales section, I buy from him too

Just for knowing, on average how much battery life do u guys get for each type of rooting method in normal usage?

Guys, anyone out there to give me a clue on the battery life for each mod please?

Btw, anyone experienced this power cable trouble?

Just read online that Nook Color might get Froyo update on April 25

I'm using anti-glare screen protector since it's anti glare & scratch (so far no scratch, my phone's clear screen protector get scratched very soon since I play a lot of angry bird & fruit ninjas...)
Speaking of cover, I asked my seller to help me get a cheap china one from eBay. Works fine but the rubber smell is unbearable, had to soak it with soap & detergent overnight to kill off the weird odor, haha XD

Can we share out what apps everyone runs on nook color?
so far I can run zenonia 1 & 2, angry birds, some SNES & GBA emulators, crystal defenders
raging thunder 1 & 2 not running fullscreen, slice it in portrait mode

Have u tried CM7? If yes, can u tell me the difference between rooting & CM7?

kbengmy,

1.
**unfortunately, yes, anti-glare does cause some dimness due to the texture of the protector itself. I have an iphone with clear screen protector n all i can say is tat it definitely looks better than the nook color, but the fingerprint is too much to handle (i have to constantly wipe my screen!!) i dun think i can stand tat with a 7" screen.
**sensitivity not affected, feels smoother to touch than clear screen protector for me personally (no scratches too as compared to my iphone's which got scratched after playing fruit ninja)
**screen protector quite troublesome to install, dust sticks very easily...
it is from china one, i think so (no idea from where since i dun really care about it) all in, i take around 30 mins to install in a satisfactory way, another 1 hour to perfect it...
*****update : u see the "picture from my service" spoiler no. 5 in shirogawa's nook color & kindle selling topic, the white cover is mine =)

2.
**[URL=http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4978&rt=nc&_nkw=Case%20nook%20Silicone&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1]
---> this type reveals out the nook handle at the bottom, easy for me to take out the microsd
**nope, all ebay (i guess mostly made in china)
in fact mine had a very strong rubber smell initially, i soaked it in Dynamo overnight to kill off the smell (cheap one is like tat one la...)


Anything can ask me further =)

Cheers

Have u tried looking for tutorials or guides from android central or XDA forums? I think these sites can help a lot (provided u follow the instructions clearly though)

for this I'm unsure oso...
Needs more deep-finding first (maybe other forumers here might know)
perhaps try google for such stuff first as a start? =)

If nook color, u can root it with a variety of choices & custom roms

hey anyone here has any luck in installing HD games into nook color?

I've been trying to install NFS Shift galaxy tab version into nook color with no success...
(theoretically shud work since NC & GT aren't too far off with same screen resolution)

how about asphalt 5 & 6?
Any success out there? I don't have luck with these too...

1. I dunno how is the glare condition without the screen protector. But with my screen protector & I set brightness level to lowest (too bright is very tiring for eyes after long usage)...... The nook color basically has almost no glare indoors. Outdoor under direct sunlight I haven't test yet.

2. With the same brightness setting, CM7 mod, setCPU profiles, wifi on only when used, I can get around almost 9-10 hours battery life as stated by the battery usage stats.
If with heavy surfing or gaming, the battery life is at least 5 hours
Wifi off when unused is very helpful to save battery (significant difference) in fact, dun use task killer, it harms the memory n battery life, just exit wif the back softkey button then enough (tats wat I read from gizmodo/Engadget, I forgot adi =] )

How about ur battery life?

IMHO, for what it offers, the Nook Color represents a good deal eventhough we have to pay for the postage overseas
