Nook Color – Phiremod, now android 4.1.2

My father’s day gift (to myself) was a Barnes and Noble Nook Color, which I almost immediately rooted to run a href=”https://sites.google.com/site/phiremod/nook-color-roms” title=”Phiremod” target=”_blank”Phiremod/a 6.3. This worked very well after learning that it is necessary to use a USB adapter to write the special boot code to the micro-SDCard. This weekend I updated this to Phiremod 7.1, which should improve battery life and resolved an issue that prevented newer versions of the Adobe Flash player from being loaded.

Late December 2012 I updated to Android 4.1.2. A bit sluggish at times, but many other improvements making the upgrade worthwhile.

All-in-all I am very happy with the Nook Color, much more so than with the Archos. The pocket size of the Archos makes it a decent PDA, if only the battery life were useful.

Kudos to the a href=”https://sites.google.com/site/phiremod/nook-color-roms” title=”Phiremod” target=”_blank”Phiremod/a developer for assembling this much improved ROM!
