G+_Mike Lipson Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Just bought my very first Android device (a B&N Nook Tablet). Last night, after messing around for a few hours, I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod 10. This morning I updated to CM10.1 (Jelly Bean 4.2.2) and installed a few apps and widgets. What should I do next?! I need a better app for watching TWiT, and beyond that, I'm open to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Webster Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Pocket Casts is good for watching there podcasts after the fact. Most if the live apps aren't very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jim Adams Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Was rooting difficult ultimate. As a college instructor I get a discount for the Nook and I've been thinking the deal is too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Lipson Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 I experienced some issues with endless restarts, but once I realized what I was doing wrong it was relatively easy. The key is to get the right images for your device - they're different for the 8gb vs. 16gb, Nook Tablet vs. Nook Color, etc. I installed Clockwork Mod v6 to root the Nook, then I used it to install CWM10. That's where I ran into the endless restart issue; if that happens you, you have to do a factory reset/factory wipe, AND wipe the device cache as well as the dalvik cache. Once I finally figured that part out, I was able to boot into CM10 (ICS). From there there's an option to upgrade CM, so I upgraded to CM10.1 (Jelly Bean). Also, you have to install the Google apps (mainly the Play Store) seperately from CM, so make sure you get the right version. The CM website has a listing.

G+_Dan Lo Fat Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ya might want to put a screen grabber on their too! I just went to the Twit wiki, there are a half-dozen watcher apps to try. I picked the top o the list, and works ok for me on pc. Now that Hangouts are rolling out as HD, i wont b surprised to see Twit.tv bcast live over an always-on HD Hangout, right here in River City!

G+_Lan Kelly Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I use DogCatcher. Is very customizable, can be used to grab RSS, setup categories, video/audio/news and on.f To tell the truth I don't have any idea if you can watch live casts with it. Never. Another good player is BSPlayer Free. I link DogCatcher's Videos to it. You can setup swipe controls for volume, scrubbing, jump and such. it has a pop out window which is realizable and has adjustable playback speed. It will probable do the streaming as it does YouTube, again haven't tried. Another thing is I know TWIT.TV has a just updated their live stream system.

G+_Allen Bryant Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Mike Lipson which Nook tablet did you get? I've got the HD+ running CM10.1. The stock OS limits what you can get from the Play Store and really limits its capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Lipson Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Just the regular nook Tablet, not the HD or HD+. I installed CM right away; I need stock Android for an app development class I'm taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
