Cowboom - Preowned 16gb Nook Tablet BNTV250 for $79.99 with Free Shipping

I've been trying to search for a cheap case for this nook tablet, but not getting good results on amazon or ebay. Any recommendations on a decent case for under $10?

Quote from STICKYBUMPS : I am not a fan of mine even with Cyan mod on it. Too slow!!

I messed around with CM 7, CM 10 nightlies and MIUI, and I have to say MIUI works by far the best on my Nook Color (can't say for the Tablet but I assume theyre pretty similar). I threw on Nook Tweaks to OC to 1200 mHz and Seeder and it runs really well i must say. The only issue I had run into so far is Plex crashes on it (used to work on CM). If you track down some of the modded versions of Netflix and Hulu Plus they work great on it as well.

Quote from STICKYBUMPS : I have a feeling it is the class 2 SD card I am using. Everything seems a tad slow. I am going to root the tablet though as I have no need for the dual boot. Would you by any chance have the link to the root method not the SD card method? Thanks in advance guys. Also, I partitioned my SD card but the memory still is messed up.

check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/s...p=12797652 for the root guide. Mine is installed on the internal memory. Once you get clockworkmod on there and you have android running on there I would highly recommend downloading rom manager from the play store, the app lists all the roms available for your device and you just select the one you want. If you get the pro version they give you the option to DL the CM nightlies which is nice but not necessary.

I use http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...07_s00_i00 it works pretty well although I had to glue the little flap that holds the nook in there to keep it from sliding out. Not a huge issue because I never need to take it out anyway.

Also for those concerned with the proprietary micro usb, regular micros do work they just charge slower (~8 hrs vs 2 hrs) I usually use wifi file transfers instead of usb anyway bc its easier to work with.

I’m running JB4.2 on my Nook’s internal SanDisk flash memory. It seems just as fast to run it on a SanDisk Ultra UHS-1 external card. The advantage of the internal memory is I can swap out microSD cards with different media files.
For testing purposes you can get a prebuilt JB 4.2 image from "iamafanof.wordpress.com". Just follow the instructions provided on that site. Later on, if you’re using a larger microSD card, you’ll probably want to increase the size of the “DATA” and “SDCARD” partitions. See: "Building a CM10.1 (JB 4.2.1) SD card for Nook Tablet: “http://forum.xda-developers.com/s...2098419”
Installing internally is pretty easy too. See: Installing CM10 Internally on Nook Tablet: “http://forum.xda-developers.com/s...2056626”. Just replace the references to CM10 with CM10.1 –the nightly image locations are slightly different but you should have no trouble finding them.
To fix your microSD card try the MiniTool wizard, or "sdformatter" (both free--links found at sites referenced above)

The "Verizon" cases are great for transporting your NT around--I'm not hesitant to toss mine on the car seat next to me. They're not the convenient "flip" style, but you can find them on sale for less than $3 with free shipping. (Got mine at Bensoutlet.com for $1 FS)

Battery is the only things that bothers me in pre owned tablets. Hard to trust the battery!

OOS Dead Deal.

Got my case & screen protector for $15 at amazon. Very happy. Do NOT get the cable combo. Nook uses special micro usb for "fast" charging.

How long does your nook battery last after full charge? Mine is about 4-5 hours at full brightness and web surfing & emails. Does that sound right?

Excellent price. Comes and goes. If it works and isnt too badly scratched up then definitely worth 80 dollars (after putting in latest android). Usually cowboom sells for 95. This is suppose to be comparable to the kindle fire (2nd version).

I got mine yesterday and tried to put CM10.0 on SD card. I was successful and pretty impressed by the speed and performance. However I wanted to upgrade to CM10.1 on SD but it seems like flashing to internal memory so no NOOK OS anymore. It was fine but just regret not able to play around with NOOK OS. Several power down/up after.. the device can't be powered up anymore.....

Ooops... need to return it and can't find deals with similar price anymore..

Can I ask you a question? I bought three of these, one for me, my aunt, and niece. Well, I had no problem making an SD card with the 16GB Sandisk Class 4 Microsd card I purchased from Amazon. Everything worked perfectly. However, when I tried a 32GB Sandisk Microsd card Class 4 purchased from Staples the root didn't work, neither would a 32gb GSkill Class 10 Microsd Card.

I'm trying to figure out what 32gb card works with CM10. I was thinking about just purchasing two more 16 gb Sandisk cards from Amazon but I really would like to use a 32gb one.

FWIW I have read that class 6 iss supposed to be ideal for these tablets. Not sure why or if that is even accurate as I have not had any personal experience with it.

Received mine yesterday. It has the box, charger, and cable. It looks brand new to me.
Downloaded cm10 on a 16gb class 4 sd card. Working perfectly right now.
Bought a case from Staples for $5. The SD card was bought from newegg for $10 with a $5 rebate.

I received my grade 5 nook yesterday and it looked brand new. Used a kingston 16 gb class 4 card for cm10, works great. Which casr did u get from staples for $5?
