    That is an awesome deal. Too bad I bought it retail for $250. Got my phone for a steal though: refurb HTC Inspire for $30 from carrier upgrade.

    I made many of them myself, but you can find repos if you Google Launcher 7 icons.

    (in Kyle's Jersey voice) It's a Canadian thing

    It's not a Canadian thing. It may be a Michigan thing.

    I do believe duder has been in Thrax's vocabulary since I have known him :cool:

    I do believe it was sarcasm anyways. Probably something from your childhood. *sits back* How does that make you feel?

    Anyone have any idea why Nook reader for droid won't install on my haxed tablet? Says it's incompatible...

    Download ES File Explorer and enable root access in the options. Two check boxes.

    Open up the app and go to the system folder. Edit qemu.sf.lcd_density in build.prop to read 160. Save the file and restart. When you're back in, delete the data for the "market" app and restart the market. Fixed,

    Yeah, it says that app is incompatible too :(

    @UPSLynx, yea, it struck a chord with me too.

    I got it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218252

    "Root explorer" works for the market hack as well.

    Root Explorer is also a paid app. ES File Explorer does everything RE does for free.

    I was going to post a rebuttal to your post because you mention it in the thread. However, I think I found it on another site when solving the market issue myself.

    Eliminated a redundant step that should improve the reliability of initial data/dalvik/cache wipes.

    Got my Nook color about an hour ago, and I've already got it rooted and rockin'. Thanks a lot, Thrax. Easy as cake.

    When trying to backup in ROM manager, I get an error. It pops up "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing". Attempts to install with the prompt fail. What do?

    Press "flash recovery."

    Added instructions to adjust the bit depth of the display, as well as custom frequency steppings and voltages for better battery life and performance.
