[Q] Lost features with rooted NOOKcolor

---

What features do you lose when you root a NOOKcolor? I have heard that you lose the in store feature and that you aren't able to subscribe to the free trial magazines/newspapers. Is that true? Can you use the normal features that is found with an unrooted NOOKcolor like subscribing to magazines, buying books, access to the original UI, ect.? Thank you.

I have been wanting to know the exact same thing. Had my NC for almost 2 weeks and want to root. Do you lose the stock UI? Mainly just want to be able to sideload apps. Really missing email, google calendar and the Klaxon alarm.

Instore works for me. I also have several free trial mags. I rooted before any of this.

That's good to know. I believe the people that said they lost their free trial mags and even lost the ability to subscribe to it rooted after they subscribed, although, I'm not sure if that would be the reason. Also, do you lose the original UI? I know most people use launcher pro, but can you go back to the original with a simple touch?

As much as the original ui sux yes. You can go back. Hit the ^ sift button and you're there.

When I install a launcher, when you hit the n button, it will always ask you which launcher you want to use. There is a checkbox to make it default to one, but you don't have to check it.

I've seen Launcher Pro used a lot, just don't know exactly how it works. Want to set up my NC within the next few days. Leaving country on Army deployment (Kosovo) for a year in a couple weeks. NC was my Christmas present to myself. It's been great so far...just needs a little help. It'll be nice to have the extra functionality while gone.

It works like any other app, you load it and it will load under that launcher. When you push home you can pick which one you want, if you dont want the book part just boot the other launcher by default.

Cool, thanks for the info. Dont want to change the whole UI at this time...prolly will later. I want the ereader functionality but want to be able to add apps mainly. This site has been great for info. Devs here are awesome. Sure know a hell of a lot more than I do.

Does In-Store still work for you? If so, how exactly are you rooted? We are working here at trying to get it back.

Thanks,
