Rooted or not, its still super limited and is waay weaker than NT. Hell, even unrooted I got all my sideloaded ebooks on it already, as well as 1080p videos on my 32gb sd. How much 1080p footage can you place on even rooted KF? Very, very little.
Devices:
HTC One X (Int'l version) (Samsung - FIRE your designers!)
Nexus 7

Use "thanks" if my post helped you

Yeah..until the KF gets a mic...2x memory and expandable SD slot...I'm keeping my NC and looking forward to the rooting of the NT.

I'm glad someone got it worked out. Hopefully the NT just more time in lieu of high expectations from the company. I mean, everyone wanted to know if it could be done to the KF.

What surprises me is that they've release the source code already. Maybe they tried so hard to compete with the ibrick that they suddenly realized they have more competition.

Good for us either way.

The root is based on zergrush and I think it should also work on NT. Just need someone with a NT to test.

Currently adb on the NT isn't where it was with NC.

Once the adb/'shell' can be found...its possible to test this or ask for code rewrite to support the new 'adb/shell'

Don't think adb is a must, how about sideload terminal app and run zergrush within that?

zergrush is good till 2.3.6. Whats the android version on NT? build.prop?
