Wow congrats, if you are brave enough, you can try to root the tablet using flash-able CWM SD card to see if the boot-loader is locked down on the new tablet or not.
Anyways congrats, lets us know your first impression.

Nope, NT is unlocked and SD-bootable like NC We need just compile CM7 for the new hardware.

great, but before we go to CM7, let see if we can at-least root it first. Having root will be a good first step, and should be much easier to achieve.

I'm going to get one the second I get off work haha. Leaving as early as i can.

The NC bootable SD images won't work on the NT. We'll have to rebuild everything for OMAP4 and the right configurations. Hopefully BN will release the source soon.

I also just got my Nook Tablet (about 5 minutes ago). Eager to get this thing into a fully functional tablet.

NK IS bootable from SD, but we don't have the IMAGES that it will boot from.
Fill your heart with patience, people =)

Yup, got mine too. The B&N store near my area had 9 left when I picked up one. Waiting for CM7 to come in!

I will be grabbing one of these the first week of december personally which gives the devs time to root it and for them to begin work on porting either CM7 or CM9 to it as well.

Just brought home our reserved Nook Tablet. The local B&N had about 40 behind the counter for those who signed the reserve list... no 'spare' NT units in plain sight, so we just bought one. (I'm waiting for root status and image development to ramp up before I get one - this one's for my wife.)
First impressions: Compared to the stock Nook Color, it *screams*. Compared to my overclocked / nootered NC, very fast.
Very fast processor, very responsive toggling between screens. Wireless was only tested in store, so it'll be interesting to see what speeds we get on the n-wireless network at home. Slightly lighter than the NC, but it feels the same otherwise.
Seems to have some of the functionality of a nootered tablet, but with a slightly more user-friendly home screen than the NC. Apps screen integrated into the Library... I think they did some thoughtful development on this one.
Already have some HD video ready to test, but it's charging at the moment.

Froyo on Nook (codename: "Nookie Froyo")

Details coming very soon. "Team Nookie" has an early early build of Froyo that is being tested as we speak.

Edit: We had some good times, but this thread has now been migrated here. Please post your questions/comments/thoughts/reactions/tales of woe there. You will notice there is now a link to more info at the wiki page: "Nookie Froyo". There is NOT yet a full SD image. But if you know what you're doing, you can get a bootable SD. (A full SD is just a matter of someone putting together the pieces...)

Best news I've heard all day. Willing to beta test if needed.

very nice im willing to test also since i have the 2 yr no questions warrenty
@fattire
You have a nook as well?? SWEEEETTTT!!!!!
Posting this from honest-to-goodness froyo. Some bugs to work out.... but it looks good.
Gotta get adbd up. One button sucks and there are other minor issues...but this is pretty rad.
Best part? Booted entirely off sd w no bn owned proprietary code.
The device rocks, I gotta ask the question though...whisper sweet nothings in my ear about how nice it runs on the NC plz.....ty
Wow...that was quick! Nice work so far guys, I'll be patiently waiting for a finished product, rather than beggin to test, or *****ing that you're going to slow. I'd encourage everyone to do the same.
@fattire
Questions on everyone's (well, mine at least) mind... please answer as much as you can, and a big big thank you!!!
1. Is BT working?
2. Is FM working?
3. Can we still use SoftKeys for hardware key emulation?
4. Can we overclock the processor?
5. How's the video playback?
6. How's the battery life compared to stock?
7. Since you're booting from SD, does that mean the internal memory of the NC remains untouched, should we need to boot stock?
and
8. How does the device feel overall?
That whole boot process was from the sdcard? How much space does all of that take?
Seriously, you got me chomping at the bit. I got a 4GB microSD waiting for a release

Just an educated guess, but about the same size as your average nexus one froyo nandroid backup.

Awesome, is this a beta update from B&N themselves, or a community build? I too am curious about bluetooth, flash, etc..
Very exciting stuff here guys...cannot wait to try an alpha build!
I wonder, if you get a problem, does the 8 reboot trick still fully restore the system to stock?

I'm actually surprised that it took this long.
We used the 1.2 bl initially because we had to as we ported directly from the Adam devs. But once there were Clem kernel ports, it wasn't technically a requirement anymore. I just never changed my port as my opinions on 1.2 are already well-stated and sticking with it made sense to me, at least. But that doesn't mean that a 1.1 based HC ROM was impossible.
However, if NI releases a HC port and it's using a .36 kernel to make everything work, this 1.1 ROM might have issues with porting that. But this is all speculation, at this point - I don't know if a NI port will even work on a GTAB yet, regardless of the bootloader used.
does this has the same bl 1.2 version issues or just the usb to pc?!
bl 1.2 version has these issues:
(copied from other forum)
- Camera isn't working (pulled out the app for now)
- Browser is working, but OpenGL is disabled for it to work. That means no Flash on the stock browser.
- (High-def) video playback does not work, yet.
any testers can confirm this? i'm a bit feeling lazy to try it today
confirmed but very smooth i love it its not reading my sdcard though how can i get it to read sd card?

One other thing, on a good note -- I'm definitely happy to see more modders our there for the GTablet. Options are always a good thing and I plan to pull back a bit, starting new month. So the more HC ports we have, the better!
Quick question... If I'm running Vegan 5.1.1, what do I need to do to install this ROM? Full wipe? Just flash it from CWM? Something else entirely?
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob at all of this, but I promise I'm trying to learn!
roebeet said:
I was really hesitant to post anything, as I really don't want you taking this the wrong way. I apologize if it came off as anything else but a concern for post-support, that was not my intent (and, in retrospect, a PM would have been better. My bad).
The branding, for me, is mostly about post-support. Remember, I'm a sysadmin by trade so when I get PM's on issues, I usually ask the usual questions like what mod, what version, how did you install it, etc. That's actually why I started branding "TNT Lite" as such back in November, as it was easier for me to know if a user was actually using my ROM or not. That's really my only concern, here. When two different mods are branded the same, it will get confusing. Especially if they are on two different development branches. It is fun, I agree - that's why I do this. But for users who soft-brick, it's sometimes a major panic attack and a lot of them are hesitant to use nvflash.

Robeet, I think you were spot on, the OP is not reading it correctly. I can just see the flood of posts/PM's asking you questions and users cross posting between 1.1/1.2 because of this and the difficulty of tracking all this. it's difficult enough keeping up with all these great roms and boot loader types, I could not imagine what it is like on your guys side.
OP he is not dissing you, he is just asking that you rename it so you can support issues and he does not have to keep getting cross questions, it's pretty much non-issue in my eyes.
OP, thanks for supporting the Gtab and the 1.1. people like all you devs that make android so much fun and android FTW over IOS.

Yes, full wipe and flash it. do a backup of course just incase you want to go back. back up your apps as well so you can restore them on the other side of HC.

Precisely, that and Honeycomb was designed for tablets....
The biggest reason we haven't and won't see Honeycomb on the 3D is because Honeycomb is closed source. I believe it can be done but would take way more work than its worth.

Well actually I think 3.2 source was released with ICS source.
However, developing is always hard and even though it is open source, it will still probably be extremely hard to get on our phones. And since there's no demand, nobody is making a honeycomb ROM.
While Honeycomb would be cool to have on our devices, it would be hard to develop and there is little demand for it so I wouldn't expect it.
Because Honeycomb sucks on tablets why would we want to put it on our phones. It is strictly a tablet OS and would make our phones run like crap not to mention no support for app data on the sd card. Everyone that has a tablet with Honeycomb is counting the days til ICS drops just like the phone guys.

[Q] Pantech Element ICS rom?

I'd love to see this too, but we never even got on Honeycomb ROMs based on stock, let alone ICS.
I think we're going to have to just wait for AT&T and Pantech to get around to fulfilling their promises.

Click to collapse
I'm not a Dev, but I'm pretty sure that roms are device specific, so any rom not specifically signed for the pantech element will fail. If you can find devs interested in developing for the pantech element, that would be great. I wouldn't even know how to change the signature on a rom to even allow it to flash... let alone boot. if you go around playing with that stuff too much though, you could end up with a nice big brick, so I recommend practicing extreme caution when dealing with flashing an unsupported rom to a device. That being said, my element should arrive tomorrow or thursday and I'd really like a custom rom. the good news is that the brand of honeycome the element runs by default is pretty close to stock, albeit with a bunch of att bloatware. With a rooted device though, you should be able to mount the system folder as read / write and remove whatever apps you don't want. Just make sure you've backed up the original rom with all its parts in case you accidentallz delete something important. I've seen some carriers make certain services dependant on certain bloatware applications.
My pantech element finally arrived in the mail today. I'm trying to be a good boy and let it charge all the way up before I turn it on so that the battery doesn't lose capacity as quickly over time. I'm super sad that there isn't much in the way of development for this tablet yet. It kinda doesn't give me much hope for its future.... speaking of future, there should be an episode of Futurama available for me to download. I'ma do that to help pass the time.

Most recent ROM with working HDMI?

This may be borderline the wrong place to post this, but it does concern custom ROM's, so technically it would be considered development I do believe. If not I'm truly sorry and move it to the correct section please. Anyway, my question is just like the title states. I've dug around a lot and haven't really found the answer. I promise I wasn't lazy and just made a new thread without researching :angel:. I want to know if anyone knows of anything like a CM10, CM11, any CM based ROM, or basically anything other than the 4.1.2 stock based ROM's with working HDMI. It is a must for me. You can go to the CM site and others, but it doesn't really say anything about it, being that most ROM's aren't all out device specific anymore, and many devices do not offer HDMI because of hardware anyway. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I've run this ROM and it's okay. I've pretty much run everything imaginable on six different devices. I was just hoping that someone knew of something like a pure AOSP based or Cyanogen based ROM with working HDMI. I've looked everywhere and tried to add it to ROM's and it just won't work. It has something to do with the stock 4.1.2 firmware and the drivers. So we'll probably never see that function in anything like a 4.4+ ROM unless we get an official update (WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN) I decided to give up and I'll just swap to stock in Safestrap when I need HDMI capability. Right now I'm in the process of cooking up a nice little custom 4.4.2 pure AOSP based ROM. It will feature NOVA Launcher and the most dynamic launcher made (it's a secret) as home options. I'm mainly focusing on smoothness, responsiveness, and battery life.

OOOH MY MY Lol! I'm very intrigued on this. I will definitely load the kernel up on a 4.4 build and see how it works out. If it works I will either put it in my build or link it to my OP when I post my ROM. Regardless lucize and dtrail1 will have full recognition and credit for the kernel and working HDMI. Man, if this works my RAZR will be a beast. I got really lucky and scored a MAXX on ebay for $51 with only the screen broken. It took a total of about 20 minutes to convert mine to the MAXX last night. As far as I can tell I'm saving around 11 to 13 percent more battery per hour with fairly heavy use. I have a couple of questions. Do you guys like the Xperia's Album (photo gallery) and Walkman music player with ACID Audio? All features work in the builds I have. And which gapps do you prefer? I'm trying to figure out which ones to recommend. I pretty much always go with Slim. Okay enough rambling. It's time to test.

for hdmi you should thank stargo and me , because my device behaved and stargo's didn't and he fixed for him too and now should work for every device, I was lucky that my device was different and I could find out the way to make it work.

Alright, I will definitely give thanks to all where thanks is due. If this works out then our little RAZR's will at least be able to contend with any device when it comes to performance and the all out coolness factor. Fully functioning HDMI is pretty much all it was missing

OOOH MY MY Lol! I'm very intrigued on this. I will definitely load the kernel up on a 4.4 build and see how it works out. If it works I will either put it in my build or link it to my OP when I post my ROM. Regardless lucize and dtrail1 will have full recognition and credit for the kernel and working HDMI. Man, if this works my RAZR will be a beast. I got really lucky and scored a MAXX on ebay for $51 with only the screen broken. It took a total of about 20 minutes to convert mine to the MAXX last night. As far as I can tell I'm saving around 11 to 13 percent more battery per hour with fairly heavy use. I have a couple of questions. Do you guys like the Xperia's Album (photo gallery) and Walkman music player with ACID Audio? All features work in the builds I have. And which gapps do you prefer? I'm trying to figure out which ones to recommend. I pretty much always go with Slim. Okay enough rambling. It's time to test.
I will definitely report back and give detailed info on what I find. Thank you for your hard work on this.

Indeed, HDMI is something that even the newest flagships don't have..
As for Xperia Album and Walkman, not a big fan of Albums, but Walkman, Hell Yeah.!!! I've been trying to make it work for Razr since the day I bought it. Would love it on the device.

The problem with making it work on the RAZR is the drivers. Even if you get a hold of a flashable Walkman .zip, most of the time it will not work correctly, no matter which version you get. It will usually also break any other music player you have installed. When you play a song you only get a split second of sound. The song will continue to play but with no sound. But never fear, it functions 100% in my build. Everyone can thank Nx Biotic for telling me where to look for the fix to this issue. Unfortunately I'm delayed on finishing the ROM for a short time. My little girl decided my screen and LCD looks better completely shattered Lol. At least I have the trusty "absolutely sucks compared to the RAZR" Droid Charge. It does have HDMI though. Parts are on the way for the RAZR and I will continue testing shortly. Keep an eye out.
So, did anyone get HDMI working with a custom ROM? AFAIK only the "official" ROM's work, but as they are so old, not so much fun. Shame we can't get the best of both worlds. Anyone know someone from Moto who can find the source code for this "secret" HDMI stuff, or has anyone the knowledge to decompile it from an official ROM?
