Nook Colour Gets Overclocked To 950MHz And Then Some
The Barnes and Noble Nook Colour has thus far been one of the most tampered with recent Android Tablets. The tamper list includes rooting the Android OS, installing third-party apps, updating the Android OS and installing Ubuntu Linux. We now have another bullet point to add:
- Overclocked to 950MHz (even to 1GHz, but not ideal)
The affordable device is actually simply a colour e-book reader with Android OS that comes as default with a processor clocked 800MHz. With the overclocking in place, the Nook Colour turns into a faster and less power consuming device, which ultimately saves on battery life. Coupled with all the other hacks and you’ve got yourself quite a decent toy for quite a decent price. The overclocking is done from the device first being rooted, and second by installing a custom kernel. The download details and instructions can be found on the xda-developers forum. Have at!
