XDA Wiki for Nook Touch - Nook Touch General

The XDA Wiki has a section for Nook Touch.
It would be nice to see it filled with standard info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/BN_Nook_Simple_Touch
I've added a big tree of modifiable aspects of the Nook Touch since I can't remember half the things that I've modified.

Samsung Vibrant WIKI page on XDA

So I looked into the XDA WIKI for the Samsung Vibrant. It was a little bare so I have added a few things. If there are things you think is needed to it, please go in and add it. It is a community effort. Another thing that I try to do is to give the responsible party for a fix or something their recognition.
I'm new to this whole WIKI thing so please add to it. We want it to be clean and user friendly.
You can find it at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_SGH-T959
thanks for updating it. This will be bookmarked
Big loss for the Samsung Vibrant XDA Forum
Well. We lost Eugene posting his updates on XDA. However his Kernel's and his ROMs can be found on his website. You can find his information on our WIKI for the Vibrant.

Eugene. We'll miss your posts here. Will keep tabs on you though.

Aid to the developers

Alright, I noticed something in the wiki that I think should be fixed. The Epic 4g page is horrendously out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700 So I figured this will help get the page organized and updated. ROM Developers Post your already existing ROMs, as well as kernel dependencies and the Samsung build (Such as: EC05) they were built off of. Please Include whether or not they are OC/UC capable as well as UV/OV capable. Kernel Developers, please post your kernel Name and a link to the thread containing your kernel. Include what builds they are compatible with (ex: EC05)
DON'T FORGET VERSION NUMBERS
Please keep it to ONE KERNEL or ONE ROM per post.
FOR EVERYONE WHO POSTS KERNELS OR ROMS
Include special features and version numbers. Post all versions, one by one, to help the developers!
As this is a wiki page, anyone can help out by starting to update the lists
Thanks for your help!
Reserved for ROMS
Reserved for (more) ROMs
reseved for Kernels
There's a post in general that had most of what you ate asking for I can't engender if out has the eh17 stuff our not though. I believe the user name that posted out was Mr. Timm.
I do appreciate the effort though.

If the rom developers wont update the wiki, why would they take the time to post here? You'd be better off looking through the forum and putting it in their yourself
Nice thread but I don't think developers will update this.
Developers want to start their own threads and monitor how much traffic their threads receive. I guess this can help them with their development careers.
Sooo....
This was meant to get everyone caught up. there are so freaking many great ROMs in the dev forum for the epic 4g. Lots of these need testing and such to speed the actual developers along. The problem is, only a handful of the up to date ROM's and kernels are located where people can just look and find them lined up (the wiki). And If we have to search to find a thread, to find all of the other threads, its not working very efficiently, cutting out what was meant to do that in the first place. If you want a look to see how ours SHOULD look, but hasnt been updated to, just check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
in comparison to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SPH-D700-Community_ROMs
I just personally think that we can do better than we are over here in the epic 4g section, and maybe with all the ROMs listed together, we might get some more collaboration as our devs look up their friendly competition. I am just trying to help out in the small ways.
There's a thread that was created recently that's similar to the one you are trying to create.

You can take info. from this thread to help yours, which could be awhole lot easier on your cause.

You think that using this info would help get this thread lit up? if people see what i have and try to complete my list? or is this hopeless. I REALLY wanna get this list expanded and maybe get all the stuff that is missing from ACS's Autoupdater filled in. because there is so much stuff missing. Which is reason number two for this thread.
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------
on second thought, reading this post.... maybe I will Just beg ACS to start adding the stuff as downloadable in ACS.
Well in my opinion it's a lost cause. What would really help your thread if you included a review of each rom, kernel, theme, tweak, etc from well known testers (John Corleone). But that would be A LOT of work.
Umm. With the ACS updater a dev permission is needed for their work to be shared.
What XDA need is a working search button so when a subject relating to a topic is searched random ish is not brought up.
If you're trying to write an review for each Rom start a thread in the General section asking for a in depth review of Roms nd stuff on the wiki.

okay, you people have missed the point by miles. I do want this to get done, and it doesn't have to be the ACTUAL dev. anyway. i am soon to quit, and just use the ERA list that got linked to, and i will TRY to start updating the wiki. Even though most of you did not help me what so freaking ever, you still get thanks. because i am just in that kind of mood.

[Q] Rooting Nook Simple Touch

First things first, I have just got hold of a NST from eBay and this is my first e-reader. I wanted to know before I proceed further, is this the forum concerning Simple Touch as well because it only says Nook Touch, so any solutions discussed here will they apply to my Simple Touch?
To my main question: Sorry it this was asked before. After rooting will I be able to zoom pdfs , the files that are image based like magazines for example.
If I want to roll back to original firmware after rooting - is there a possibility?
Will I be able adjust the contrast setting of the display because it looked washed out for me (maybe it is only me having used tablets all these years.)
Please point me to a step by step guide to root and the best custom firmware.
Thanks in advance
S
No one here for simple touch?

Yes, these are the forums for the Nook Simple Touch and Nook Simple Touch with Glow Light. Read the development thread on NookManager and the apps forum on pdf reader applications for more on your questions. The short answers is yes you can do everything you want. The caveat is you will need to read instructions carefully and there are quirks to everything. So read first and see if you're comfortable with the rooting process and the apps you will have available.
Thanks many

Please don't cross-post general questions into the development forum.
Very good at least somebody can respond but no answer.

[Q] Easiest setup for web browsing and book reading?

When I was participating in this forum last year and the year before, I could still follow long threads and extract the relevant information, sometimes even making useful contributions to a discussion. But at this time, if not for what's left of my life, I just can't focus enough to do that for any complicated matters.
My task now is to set up a Nook Color for a friend who is almost clueless about tech matters. His main concerns are accessing the web, including web-based email, and reading books, although he might want to use it occasionally to watch video. I figure the best thing might be to put whatever he needs (or as much of it as I can anticipate) on a microSD card, of which I have a few of various sizes up to 16 GB.
What stable ROMs might be best to use and can somebody point me to a guide to installing such a ROM and other necessary software on an SD card? And by a "guide" I mean something that incorporates corrections in the original post and does not require the reader to follow an entire long thread to find important information.

To install to an SD follow my NC guide linked in my signature. It is up to date. I would recommend CM10.1.3 stable.
