If all you're doing is rooting the B&N configuration, everything should be preserved. You won't lose access to any of the B&N apps as a result of rooting. Unfortunately, B&N's lock down doesn't really give you the tools to do backups. You might want to make a copy of anything you've copied over.I am new to this, just got a NC for my daughter, thanks to one and all for your answers to my rooting questions. Please help with my first questions, My NC has some apps loaded from BN. Do I need to save my apps and books before rooting? if so how?
^ thanks got it working later last night.
I can't seem to get NHL game center to work because of a location error any ideas anyone?
unrooted and did it again but still having location issues... anyone?
I didn't even get that apps to show up in Market on B&N 1.4.1. I found that the Bruins App took care of all my needs.[...] I can't seem to get NHL game center to work because of a location error any ideas anyone?
Just for giggles, I installed Weatherbug on my NC now running CM7.2 RC0 Mirage again, and it's working. I did enable use wireless networks in Settings->Location & security settings and made sure Use GPS satellites is off.Also, just b/c an app works on your phone does not mean it'll work on your NC. I like Weather bug on my DroidX and it's worked with every rom I've thrown at it so far, but it only FC's when I installed it to either of my tablets (NC or HP TP) with CM7.
Bobstro,
Thank you so much for this, it all worked great. The only thing that were cons (none of which have anything to do with your writeup) is:
Much more limited view of the Market. I have to go to Freeware Lovers: The Best Things in Life are FREE to download a lot of .apk files and install them from there. I could see much more with my rooted 1.1. Also, packages I install this way that worked under 1.1, don't work as well now under 1.4.
I lost my ability to connect ad-hoc to my DroidX. I need to find the fix for this that applies to 1.4. If you have a pointer, that would be great.
I think, but not sure, that the light on my charge cable no longer turns green when fully charged. Nothing big, just noticed it.
But it is great being able to finally watch video's on new sites and youtube. On, that's another odd thing, the Google News and Weather app doesn't work anymore, just opens and closes.
I wish there was a way to "fool" the market into thinking the device is a phone, but haven't found one yet.
Again, thank you for taking the time to write this up.

Re: market issues, there's always Amazon's app store: Amazon Mobile App
Re: power cord issues... bear in mind the usb cable is fragile and if you kink it too much/too often, you could break one or more wires in it, which will greatly affect charging time or the led indicator.
BACKGROUND
I started out reading and trying the procedure described the XDA thread on rooting 1.2 and 1.3:
[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16 - xda-developers
Hi brother. could you please to help me where to download the Manualnooter 5-12-XX. I 'm the newbie of NC, and My Version 1.4.1.
I updated step 4 in the procedure to point directly to GMPOWER's latest post announcing 5.01.24. I also tested the link, and it's still working.Everything should be in that link.![]()
4. Once 1.4.1 was running unrooted, I then followed GMPOWER's efforts over at XDA. The key is to run an updated version of manualnooter that does not make the database updates. As of this writing, his latest 5.01.24 can be found in post 1745. So far as I know, the official manualnooter repositories have not been updated.
