Morning everyone,
I am new to rooting a nook and was hoping someone could help me.
Been searching this forum and tabletroms
I have a regular Nook Tablet. I bought it in 2011 and just rooted it yesterday.
I was hoping that by rooting it, I could use a keyboard case I recently purchased.
I probably should've read further before purchasing the keyboard case, but didn't.
This is the one I have from Amazon: Zuweiyu 7" Tablet Stand with USB Keyboard
I also purchased a Sandisk 16gb microsd card
I followed this tutorial to root my Nook on Youtube: [How To] Root The Nook Tablet (firmware 1.4.3) In 10 Minutes by Project Phoenix Media
All went well.
My keyboard case still doesn't work, though I do have the correct cable hooked up. I plugged it into y laptop and it worked fine.
Upon researching further, discovered that USB is not enabled (or available) on my version of the Nook.
I Googled in hopes of finding any other options and found a page which mentioned something about a kernel. ???
Is there anything else I can do to get the keyboard case to work with my Nook tablet?
Any other tutorials, etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AFAIK, USB Host (which enables attachment & use of USB devices) is currently not supported in stock ROM or any custom ROM for the Nook Tablet.
FWIW, it is supported in the newer Nook HD & HD+ (and I believe the older Nook Color).

If this is the wrong section I apologize. I just picked up the Archos 48 Internet tablet with the DVR station off of the Archos Store. I thought $299 was a good deal with the free dvr station.
First hand reviews. This is my second archos, i used to have the old school 160gb so i am familiar with its defaults and capabilities.
Battery Life - not a huge concern for me, its normally plugged in. But i got a good 5 hours of out of it with wifi on.
Hard drive - 500gb - perfect for the music/video collector
OS - 1.6 - Weird, just weird. It works, and I understand it, but there are some drawbacks, and maybe you folks can help.
1. I installed appslib and the amazon app store(works perfect). However, you can only install apps to the system space, not the hard drive. So there is a limit to having apps on there. Once i got the 3rd angry birds on it, it yelled at me and said no space available. There is 500gb????? Can if be used?
2. Can you put 2.2/froyo or 2.3/GB?
3. Rooting??? Can it be done? Maybe its too new?
Sync - Special usb cable. Looks like you have to use the micro usb that comes with it. If you use a different one, the files will not sort correctly. Sounds funny, but Putting it in hard drive mode is easier/quicker for me. When I used a standard one, the cover art would not list in the Cover's section when searching for music, however all the music is under the Hard Drive section and I could listen to it all and cover art showed. Not a big deal, just weird.
Browser - Works fine, I would like to install a different one, but I am having problems putting the Android App Market on there. Any ideas?
Firmware is the most updated one.
If anyone can help, or lend ideas, please let me know

From what I understand, the Archos 48 IT is sort of a rehash of the Archos 5 IT, which was a Gen 7 device. Any info you can find on the Archos 5 IT should apply. Check out ArchosFans and OpenAOS for more. This section is for Gen 8 devices, so I don't think anything you find here will be very helpful. Good luck!
I can help you a bit i had have the A5IT
1) You cant increase the internal storage (for apps) yet, but the guys from openaos maybe work on that at a costum rom
2) there are some 2.0/2.1 and maybe some 2.2 ports too but they are buggy from my last view i have sold my archos 5, bought a new one you should ask the guys from openaos
3) same answer as in 1) & 2)
Xda isnt for gen7, its for gen8 the best gen7 communitys are archoslounge,archos forum and for the hacking sections (most interesting for you ) openaos
Hello,
I got a nook tablet the other day. I have know that the nook color has gotton USB host and so has the nook touch. But I cant find anywhere that has a way for USB host on the nook tablet. What the heck? Why can the nook touches and colors do it and not the nook tablet??? I am wondering if I use a custom rom (Iam running the cm7) if that will allow Usb Host. Is that true? Are there easier ways to do it? I really need a keyboard for my school as they are encouraging more tech. but its near impossible to type papers on a touch screen.

usb host is not possible at this time with any rom.

Not possible until developers release a fully working 3.x kernel

Yes, our fingers are crossed. . . . And I read there is "no" power on that connector ! . Hmmm...
With the announcement of Android 5.0, I was thiinking of new possibilities. I have an old tablet (1st Gen Kindle Fire), and I was wondering if there was any way you could create an Android TV ROM to install on a tablet, wether it's the Kindle Fire or a Nexus 7 or something. You could then connect an external display (if your device supports that) so you would have the full Android TV experience without forking over another $100 just by using old tech. Are there any guides to do something like this?
Yup. I had the same thought. I'd love to do this with old Galaxy Nexus.
I would love it on my nexus 7 2013!
I'm looking for this idea on my old phone and tablet / even dual boot -> that's really good one for home.
P/S: using HDMI cable (slimport or LHM) to connect to TV
It'd probably be possible, if you can run SDR touch on a phone, it'd surely be possible to run a TV Android version with some tweaking and a RTLSDR Dongle(they were originally for TV)
I just got the new Nook Tablet Model: BNTV450. Its the $50 version. A lot on this site seems to mention earlier models. Anything for the new Nook?
Hi all,
This is a wacky request, but bear with me.
So I have a 2015 Shield TV, which is hooked up to a 55" Touchscreen Monitor. The regular Shield TV Software wasn't really touch friendly and I wanted access to more Android Apps. So I installed a custom image which effectively gave me Regular Android OS from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/rom-t3138575.
However that was a couple of years ago and I would like to update to a newer version of Android. It is still working really well and part of me doesn't want to risk losing what I have, but the newer versions of Android have much more features (like extending memory to SD Cards) which I would like to have. I know this will be a nightmare to do as I will need to go back to stock and then upgrade to a newer image. But this got me thinking.
Would it be possible to flash the Shield Tablet image onto the Shield TV? I am effectively using my Shield TV Like a giant tablet anyway.
Any thoughts or Guidance from Shield TV or Tablet experts would be much appreciated.
Thanks all, J
