[Q] Rooting and CM 10 Difference

[bonline]

Hello,

Could someone please explain the difference and the benefits between just rooting a Nook HD and Rooting and installing CM10? I would like to keep the BN OS because my kids and wife will use this to read books as well, so I like the multiple profile feature. Also I see multiple threads on the rooting CM10 etc, but if you could point me to the one that is the easiest for both I would greatly appreciate it.


Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

For rooting the HD stock there is only one choice that works now, my CWM thread linked in my signature. And in that thread you can add a lot of features to the HD without rooting, like Play Store to get more apps.

And for CM10 on the HD only bokbokan's thread works.

As far as the difference, CM10 is nice and you probably can run more apps, but I think stock is best for kids because of the profiles.

If you need the profiles, then I'd recommend leaving stock untouched and making a CM10 or CM10.1 SD card for your own use. The B&N profiles only work with the B&N interface. So if you root and add non-B&N apps, everyone will have access to those.
