Welcome to the Nook Color Portal on NookDevs.com

Note: This is a wiki for a reason. If you see something that's wrong, don't ask that it be fixed, please pretty please just fix it. As they say on wikipedia, edit boldly.

This page aims to be your guide to customizing your Nook Color. A lot of topics are available here, but almost all of the start with the process of "rooting". Rooting comes to the Nook Color from the Android community where it has come to mean unlocking the device and getting access to do whatever you want with it. Thus, making it yours. We hope you find the information below useful. If you find something wrong, as the note says: Just fix it.

IRC Logs

Much of the work on understanding the NC has been done in the #nookcolor channel on freenode.net irc network. There are publicly viewable logs for those at Public IRC logs for #nookcolor.

Nookcolor Pastebin

There is a separate pastebin for nookcolor troubleshooting which is used to post long pieces of text when requesting help in the IRC channel. Note that this stuff is accessible to anyone on the Internet and it never expires (unless you set otherwise when you upload).

Warning: Remove any personal info like serial numbers, usernames, passwords, incriminating photos BEFORE hitting the upload/submit button.
