I have no idea if it is a MN bug or regular Market bug, (I suspect the latter) but:

In portrait orientation, the lists in the market (except for the one on the opening page, tried it in numerous games categories :D) will not expand downwards, because - I think - they do not contain enough elements to react the bottom. Thus, you can't scroll and hit the bottom, which would activate the "load some more from market" routine.

(Works fine in landscape.)

EDIT: Oh, and the nook color previously showed up in the desktop-browser-enabled market.android.com install list. (Or was it the honeycomb ROM I installed... can't test it right now... must be related to borked market.)
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
This is a known bug. In order to get the market to show more apps than just the first 10 or so, you must view in landscape mode.
[Nook Color Android Development] mutant13:
I hate swype some times...you do not have to turn off your nook to install apks
[Nook Color Android Development] nagi603:
Thx for the quick reply, suspected as much. Anything for this second, much-much smaller issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
Here is how I installed it.

-In Amazon app store, click on install for AB Rio.

-when it downloaded, and switched to the installer,

- I switched to settings and ejected my ed card (popped it out to)

- Then, I switched using button Savior back to the install

- Clicked install.

-Now angry birds works.

Have fun.

Leko

P.S. This worked for Aldiko as well. But I already had the APK on my ed card so I moved it to internal first. The other thing is Aldiko needs an sd card to run so pop it back in after install.

I backed up Angry Birds from my 1.1 nook profile. Rooted now with 1.2 , installed with ADB, works great.
[Nook Color Android Development] tinpanalley:
Sorry if this is obvious but does this end up being like the previous autonooter where you'd have the stock NookColor AND another launcher by pressing home? I don't want to lose the stock nook, that's all.
[Nook Color Android Development] wowmail:
Yup!Its got all the stock stuff available. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] lewellyn:
Install the live wallpaper, then go into the BN settings (the ^ arrow in the black bar at the bottom of the screen, on the far right is Settings) and choose Home then Wallpaper. Live Wallpapers should be a tab with your available choices now! :cool:

If you don't see the CWM menu on boot then these are the possibilities:

1. defective nook

2. defective SD card

3. no image on the SD card

4. didn't power down the NC completely.

Autonooter is NOT a CWM Flashable Image, and will not work for ManualNooter
[Nook Color Android Development] emtownsend:
I've rooted my EVO phone countless times and rooted a Viewsonic gTab as well, but the Nook seems harder than them all...

I have ROM 1.2 (brand new Nook)...

Step 5 is too vague. Where is the idiots guide to making a Clockwork Mode bootable MicroSDHC (16GB)? :confused:

I successfully got a 128mb CWM image copies and booted up and I can choose Install ZIP from SD but it does not go anywhere. So I tried a 8GB image and all it did was blue screen my laptop. (Again, I have a 16GB card).

Right now, my Nook will not boot. I did just enough to kill it. I am sure once I get the CWM and a good image on the MicroSDHC it will be OK.

Edit: OK, I didn't kill it. It still boots to 1.2... Still need help with CWM though. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
:confused:Installed this... market is extremely slow in loading up apk and Youtube doesn't seem to work. I can see the videos but they just don't play. anyone have suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] tinpanalley:
Why can I NEVER get my nook color to notice OTA updates??? Sooo frustrating.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Swipe your finger from right to left starting are the battery and time in the notification area. It will send you back.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
I use Appbrain's market app to search the market. It finds the app then takes me to the app in the market where I can download it.
[Nook Color Android Development] iDidItAll4theNookie:
You are correct. I have been putting all the Amazon apps in the Nooks downloads folder. After card eject, it installs every time. The curious thing is how some apps install normally, while others require the extra steps. I wonder if apps available from B&N are somehow flagged on the Nook so they can't be installed from off-system?

As for how to go back when the buttons disappear, you don't even need softkeys. Just swipe from right to left on the status bar. A very nice feature, I must say, since I don't like having the floating dot on my screen.

Non-Market APK Installs

Thanks for all the work done on this.. I've been able to successfully root my 1.2 nook color however I have a couple of apps not from the Market that I would like to install and when I uncheck the "install non-market apps" save it then go back into Nook Tools to recheck it again I find that its already checked and I'm still getting Security errors that I'm not permitted to install Non-Market apps. any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] foxdl99:
I am still unable to install angry birds or the like. I have downloaded, copied from /cache/downloadnull to /system/app, renaming it angry.apk. Then I remove the SD card and navigate to /system/app (with root explorer), click on the file, select package installer and get "There is a problem parsing the package". What the heck am I doing wrong?

Edit: Okay, my problem was that I had a corrupt file or something. I recopied the file to /system/app and was able to install it.

Edit: Still unable to open it after install. Tried clearing data/cache/defaults, and rebooted.
[Nook Color Android Development] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Anyone else seeing battery issues? I noticed today that my battery was droping fairly fast. I went from fully charged to 89% in what seemed like only 30 minutes of random use this morning. I figured that I just lost track of time, but then it dropped to 83% in a matter on minutes. When I pulled up the battery, it said the Nook was on AC power (it wasn't). At that point, I rebooted, only to come back to 76% battery.

I am not sure if a program was leaking, but I did have the NC on the charger all night. Any ideas?

Angry Birds step-by-step (any apk really)

1. Have root explorer

2. Remove SD card

3. Open market, find app

4. Wait for install failure

5. Root explore to /cache/downloadnull

6. Rename download.apk to corresponding angrybirds.apk, angrybirdsrio.apk, angrybirdsseasons.apk, etc

7. Long press and select copy

8. Navigate back to /system/app

9. Paste file

10. Select file, select install, select package installer, follow instructions

11. Profit.

Yes, I know that im just saying it's the same sd card I used for autonooter when I had stock 1.1, and after it was rooted a cwm sd card
[Nook Color Android Development] tiltlover:
What heck does this mean? Did you do it in ADB? I flashed this manualnooter but have the limited visibility issue with the market. Is it possible to make an exe file to automatically correct the problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] rsmathias:
Non-Market APK Installs

Do you have to use Root explorer or will any "free" file manager work?
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
Jump right to step 4, and open nook color tools, then go to all settings, and manage applications, and it should start to make sense. If you do not see market under running, click the all applications tab. AN EXE would not work, because it needs to be done on the device or through ADB. Even then, we are dealing with running processes. It would be difficult.

~Leko
[Nook Color Android Development] foxdl99:
As long as it has read-write to /system then it should work. Root explorer is the "best" solution because virtually everyone uses it.
[Nook Color Android Development] rsmathias:
Thanks... was just looking for a solution that I didnt' have to buy another app to do but if thats what I need, i'll try it. thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] schtuka:
it means the effort to read and follow these plain instructions. be grateful and patient.
[Nook Color Android Development] skeeterpro:
Worked perfectly for AB and Aldiko. Thanks. Any clue as to WHY those two have such difficulty?
[Nook Color Android Development] MedLine:
yeah i know, but if you went through the rest of your original OpenVPN thread you'd see many of us had to, inexplicably, install OpenVPN binaries for VPNC to work for Cisco IPSec VPN on B&N 1.1 eclair. just saying no such hoops this time with B&N 1.2 + MN 4.4.28.

btw a lot of us ended up using your original tun.ko for a long time, it ended up working in Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 as well as CM7. thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] rsmathias:
Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to copy the apk to the system/app folder however, selecting install still yields me the following error " Install Blocked: for security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from the Android Market". Any suggestions on how to get around this? again I tried in Nook-Tools to uncheck the option but when I went back into Nook Tools, the option was still checked. I read before that unchecking, saving and rebooting the rechecking enabled the option but its not working this time in this version.

Easy apk install without SD card - Angry Bird example

I see a lot of complicated way to install apks that MN rooted BN 1.2 seem to have problems with. Here is an easy non-techie way to install for example Angry Birds - without root explorer or any file explorer. You will need either a dropbox account or skydrive account.

1. upload your apk to your dropbox account or skydrive account

2. go to BN Settings, Device Info, SD Card and unmount you SD card. Remove SD card

3. go to the stock browser go to your dropbox or skydrive account,

4. click on your apk . When the download is complete, click on Package Installer and you should be all set.

As example, click this link and Angry bird will install http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3732697/AngryBirds_1_5_1.apk
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Angry Birds does NOT go in /system/app if you want somewhere to put it put it on /media/ or leave it in /cache/downloadnull I can install Any Error -18 app without having to once touch the /system/app folder.

The fix in the original post works just fine as long as the downloaded file hasn't downloaded corrupted. It can be it seems a little hit and miss with the Parsing Error and I'm still not sure as to whether that's the Package Installer itself or just the downloaded App.

Also the dropbox method if it works for Angry Birds should also work fine for any other app giving an Error -18 message.
[Nook Color Android Development] n8w:
At risk of sounding like an idiot, the process doesent seem quite as refined as it was when I used an to root 1.2. I can't really have my nc down for long, I'm guessing I should wait for a more stable method yes?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This is the most stable method around. Even if I could fix the issues I'm having with AN right this minute. Nothing would change save for the fact you'd have to create a new AN sdcard because what I'm trying to work on for the Newest AN is a completely different setup than what's being used by all previous versions of AN.

In short: This is the best it is. The currently used Market is stable enough. -18 Error isn't Market it's B&N's OS because this error even happens when trying to install from THEIR market. The major bug with ALL versions of market, fresh installs, updated versions, etc etc etc, is the fact that there's the Could Not Verify APK Signature error. I tried contacting someone else who appears to have fixed it (on a custom rom on a separate device) in hopes they'd come help us out but it seems they're either busy or have no interest in this project. Maybe someone else can come up with a viable fix that can be included with MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
Perhaps The Difficulty Is..

whether or not we have to wipe anything prior to installing ManualNooter.

Could the OP advise if we should wipe system or data (or the dalvik cache) before applying the patch?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
As long as you're running 1.2 you should be able to run this over whatever is there.
[Nook Color Android Development] rsmathias:
its any apk whether on sd or dropbox that I get the security warning on. ironically though, on one attempt from system/app, the app did install despite the security warning. go figure.

Just know what worked for me, would hope it would work for others having trouble. I couldn't get it to install using any previously mentioned methods, including OP. I may have had a bad apk, don't really know, but I tried it several times with different methods until I found what worked for me. And again, just trying to help others.

[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Is there a need for AN (vs MN)?

Is there an advantage to AN over MN? I find it more convenient to just copy any updates over to the SD and use CWM and update my NC. With AN, I have to go through the extra step of creating yet another image on the SD. Using CWM isn't that difficult.

But I might be missing something. Sounds like some new stuff being cooked up.

Unable to Root on new Nook with 1.2...

So far, this is not working for me on a brand new Nook that is already running stock 1.2

I created an 8GB CWM bootable MicroSDHC.

Then I copied the manual-nooter-4.4.28 to the root of the MicroSDHC.

Rebooted to ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5

Chose Install zip from sdcard

System went to a screen with the CWM black hat and a gold arrow wrapped around it, in the middle of the screen. Nothing else. Left it for a while but nothing happened. I hit the power button and it brought me back to the CWM menu.

I then chose to wipedata/factory reset.

-wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /sd-ext...

Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure...

Data wipe complete.

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recover/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

At this point it seems to be frozen at the CWM menu. I cannot move the cursor up or down or hit power.

Holding power does turn it off and on, but the above repeats if I try again. Any other thoughts?

I made the CWM using win32diskimager with an 8GB clockwork_0.7
[Nook Color Android Development] chrislj:
If your already on stock 1.2 you don't need to do the data wipe. All you do is run the manual nooter zip from sd card. Once it finishes unmount and eject the sd and reboot. You only need to "clean" the system if you are restoring back to 1.2, you will need to do the data and system wipe.

It is possible now that you have done the wipe that you may need to restore back to 1.2 before you can run manual nooter again but I'm not 100% on that. If your nook can't can't boot up normally right now, then you will have to restore it.
[Nook Color Android Development] emtownsend:
It's official.. I'm an idiot. I was not using the "n" button to select, I was using the power button (like the EVO). I have re-applied all instructions and am flashing CM7.0.2. I will let you know!

[Nook Color Android Development] skyhawk21:
Hey Gabrial, sorry to say your newest version of manual nooter does not work on a clean install of 1.1 unregistered then registered, then upgraded to 1.2 registered and unregistered then re-registered. I used CWM 3.0.1.0 to install the newest x.51 of your manual nooter and I am stuck in a boot loop after constant cold reboots on the nook color.

I do beleive this issue is because you updated the flash player from the stock one the BN update 1.2 includes to the newest release from the market place. I had everything set up before, the way I like with the last version of manual nooter, and when I installed the latest flash and rebooted, I got stuck in boot loop.

So the summary is since you updated adobe flash player which replaces the stock one included with the BN 1.2 update, it breaks something after nootered from 1.2 to your latest version it gets stuck in boot loop even after constant resets! So do not include the newer flash player!

Or I could be way offline and something else is breaking the core system files or permissions and making it so it wont boot after everything is wiped and cleaned and 1.2 stock BN update is installed then updated to your newest just released manual nooter file!
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
4.5.1 is broken. We don't know the reason yet. Until then MN is offline.
[Nook Color Android Development] fuzzynco:
Can I start with a non-rooted stock 1.2 ?

Meeting all the pre-reqs otherwise. Just create the clockwork recovery

SD bootable and put the manualnooter file on it, then boot from it?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Yes... or wait a day or two... grab AN, because the issues with the delivery system have been pounded out and the only thing left to do is create an update file (Like my failed attempt at 4.5.1) and let it be delivered via this system.
[Nook Color Android Development] ehcan:

Market - Can't download

I've followed the directions to ManualNooter my stock 1.2 NC. It worked well. I followed the directions to clear the cache in order to get my downloads to show up in the Market.

The problem I'm having is that when I want to download one of those apps, the Market says "Starting download" and just hangs with no download progress, or if it was an app that I had paid for, "Authorizing Purchase" and hangs.

I am able to sync my gmail, etc.

Can someone advise on how I might overcome this problem? I can't seem to install the apps because they just hang at "Starting Download". Thanks.

Do a reboot of your device. That's what fixed it for me.

Be careful manually updating to a newer version of adobe flash!

The solution for download unsuccessful is in the OP.

If you're using old market you must have an sdcard in the sdcard slot and mounted (which happens by default) for it to properly install.

If you're using new market the solution is to switch back to old market.

May 2, 2011 - 4.5.2

Renamed: Softkeys, zeam, NookColorTools, for easier updates.

Adds: Calculator, Calendar, TouchRecalibrate, RomManager.

Update: Changed Fingerprint to 'ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/ZUJJ4:user/release-keys' will hopefully open market up.

Note: No Flash 10.2 as it caused boot looping when installed with Nooter 1.2 (and apparently some cases of side loading).

Also I should have AN up later tonight, some tweaking needs to be done to a couple of checks. Then I'll make an image and post it into a separate thread.
