Bootloader locked or unlocked?

---

Sorry I'm new to the KF forums. I am having a hard time sifting through threads on tapatalk.

Has a way been discovered yet to unlock the boot loader? Will custom roms be possible such as CyanogenMod?

Thanks for the help and being understanding. If this has already been answered with a detailed thread, could someone please link me?

Hmm...doing some more searching it looks like maybe it never had a locked bootloader?

It was never locked

It was never locked, if it was we would never have been able to get as far as testing recoveries or gingerbread builds.

So theoretically CM build with ICS should be possible?

I'm contemplating unrooting my Nook Tablet and returning it within my 14 day window and picking up the kindle fire. I am a little concerned with the 512 MB of ram vs. 1 gb on the nook tablet.

Has anyone noticed much lag/ do you think 512 will be limiting?

Only lag is the amazon apps. Mine runs fine. Browser may lag a bit. but other browsers dont. So again...amazon apps.

512 is sufficient. The moto phones with 1gb of ram only have 512 usable by android. the other 512 is for the webtop crap.

IMHO 512 is fine for me.

OEMs need to quit convincing themselves they know how to create a UI better than google or the community. I have yet to see anyone that can and not make it unobtrusive, not annoying or not laggy. If they want to do that, they need to go the route of the market launcher apps like go launcher or adw and let users switch it out, instead of baking it into the device. Obviously Amazon would never do that because this device was intended by them to only serve up their content and no one else's (just looking at the way they removed settings from the OS gives that idea if the lack of google services did not). At least they did not lock it down to the point that someone cannot mod it

As stated, 512MB would be more than enough for anything other than what amazon did. If someone made stock version of android for it, this device would run great all around.

Even on a larger screen than your smartphones do you still think 512 mb of ram is enough? How much does the iPad2 have? iPad?

I pad has the same. Remember, It's not a phone so it doesn't have all that crap like messages taking up memory.

I read somewhere about how the stock browser has accelerated page loading turned on by default (possibly to mine data??). Once I turned it off, I got better results.
