Yes, but it does not tell me where to find that file.
[Nook Color Android Development] brandsberg:
I am changing the tow files suggested, but then are getting Error occured when trying to save this file. Close any way?

When I say yes, no changes are being made. Can you help?
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I am trying to understand why you have no problems. What sequence did you follow to install OC and setcpu? OC first followed by setcpu?
[Nook Color Android Development] botossi:
Sir, i doenst matter the order in that case... SetCpu is an application that will let you OC your Nook according to the installed Kernel... if you are in Stock, from 300 to 800... if you installed dal's kernel then from 300 to 1200 (sweet) ;)

Boot loop

Ugh. Second boot loop in as many weeks. Is there any way to diagnose the exactly problem and solve it short of reflashing to stock via a CWR bootable, manual nooter, and restore everything?

If nothing else, this will teach me to use CWR for backups!
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
For this reason, I avoid having CWM on emmc. I have CWM on a bootable SD card and have not had any problems. The one time I installed CWM on emmc I encountered the boot loop.

The other advantage is that backups are on the SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
While that may be the case, he is not having problems while I am. His configuration is almost identical to mine.
[Nook Color Android Development] KenNashua:
Just to be clear, I haven't put CWM on emmc. I'm only B&N 1.2 + manual nooter. I do have CWM on a separate SD card with the B&N stock zip as well as the manual nooter zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
This is what I did. Followed Nemith's restore to stock BN1.2 instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13198961&postcount=1 using a bootable CWM. Used the zip without CWM on emmc update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip. Applied MN4.5.25 instructions exactly.

Try that - should fix your problem. With this method, I don't have the flash updating which seems to be causing your boot looping problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
That's the way I did it the very first/clean time. However, with subsequent MN updates, I just applied the MN update, then the OC kernel again, but SetCPU was already installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] MHotovec:
I rooted using this process and it worked just fine - thanks to all of those that made it happen!

Now for a question, I can't get Titanium Backup to show me a program listing. I've also got it on my phone and use it regularly, so I'm familiar with the app, but I'm not able to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've done 'Problems' and 'Update Superuser', but that did nothing. Can one of you nice folks point me in the right direction?

Edit: figured it out, TB won't show the apps list if there is not an SD card installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] serchend:
Has anyone found a way to install fakegps now? it shows as not compatible with this device in market. If I try to install with adb it gives install failed missing shared library.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Sorry I missed this. I believe I may have already had setcpu on the Nook when I applied the OC kernel, but I can't recall for sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Interesting, I take it you don't have a Titanium Backup to restore? Have you made the build.prop change to an HTC device? I don't know if that'll make a difference for Market or not...
[Nook Color Android Development] serchend:
I do have it backed up in Ti Backup, but when I try to restore it, the installer gives failed to install. I have tried a few different HTC devices in build.prop with no difference (except for netflix working).
[Nook Color Android Development] serchend:
just installed catlog and it says that the missing library is com.google.android.maps
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Follow these directions:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14335607&postcount=1000

It does not fix the "My Location" problem, but does allow Fake GPS and other apps that require the Google Maps shared library (my problem was the Delta app).
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
OK, this is all making me think I need to make a new CWR image of my NC! It's been working great w/o any problems for a long time and having a stable recovery image is beginning to sound more and more critical than just Titanium Backups!
[Nook Color Android Development] serchend:
Thank you.. worked perfectly

Glad to hear - don't forget the "thanks" button! ;)

BN 1.2 Rooting completed

As of this point, I am completely happy with the rooting of BN1.2 and consider the tasks to be complete. While some would like a camera, bluetooth support, USB host support, contact sync, HDMI output, etc - that's what a tablet is for.

The lack of an autonooter doesn't matter. It's just a few extra steps you need to root - and besides, the bootable SD is great for backup.

The lack of an autonooter makes it just a tiny bit harder to sell MN on ebay. You can't just insert the SD card to root - you actually have to read the instructions and push a few buttons.

My thanks to GabrialDestruir, GMPOWER and the other contributors listed in the OP.

Dalingrin's latest OC kernel 6/9/11

Anyone else tried Dalingrin's latest kernel and Nook Color Tweaks app.? I just installed both and am running fine (overclock to 1.6Ghz ... crazy!), but I'm wondering about battery life. I don't see any scaling options.
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
It's probably been asked before but I couldn't find from a search: if you install Dalingrin's OC kernel, does that stop the Reading in B&N store option like the other CM7 kernels? That's the main reason I stick with the stock 1.2 with MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
I don't believe so, but I have never tried it myself yet. Seems to me I read about it in this thread somewhere...
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
I don't understand this question. Reading in store is only available with stock. So a CM7 kernel should have nothing to do with it.

I have his stock OC kernel on my 1.1 and still have in-store reading. Not sure about 1.2 - haven't tested it but I would be surprised if it had this effect.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Anyone using the Netflix app having a problem with movies running in fast forward instead of normal speed? I'm using the Sugawee OC kernel but don't think this is the issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] damthman:
I have Daligrin's OC kernel and I had that problem. i then changed my build.prop to HTC vision and that didnt fix it. but then when i changed it to Flyer it worked. try to change your build.prop similar and try Flyer. I think it has to do with what type of hardware that Netflix thinks you have. or else i could be extremely wrong and just making a ton of bull up. try it and hopefully it will work. :eek:
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Worked perfectly. Thanks! !
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
sorry if this has been already addressed but it is difficult to go through several hundreds of pages to find an answer on this thread.

Google Market is not working. Every time I download something, it states "download unsuccessful, try again later." I did the wipe data for Market and Google Framework and it still does not work.

This is really frustrating since without Market this MN is useless. Please help. I cannot even install any apk files because I have no file manager. The B&N file manager does not recognize apk files. thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Which MN are you using? Has it ever worked? Did you follow the instructions in the OP completely?

As far as using a file manager, put any apk on a web site somewhere and use the stock browser to navigate to it and download it. Then open up the notification in the lower left and it will show the apk you just downloaded. Tap on it and it will give you the option of using the app installer or the package installer. Use the package installer and you will install the file.
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
I am using MN 4.5.25. No, this is the first time that I have installed MN.

Should I reinstall? If so, how do I do that? Just go back to CWR and reinstall the MN zip file?
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Have you tried opening Google Talk and logging out? If not, give that a shot.
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
I tried it and still nothing. thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
What's the specific build.prop setting for the Flyer that worked for you?
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
The clear cache for market and data for GSF is just for when the market is not showing all apps, it will not help you with the "download unsuccessful." Some times the market null script fix does not flash correctly the first time. Download the attached and flash with CWM, it is just the market null fix script. Report back if it fixes it for you or not.
[Nook Color Android Development] pspTP:
I have a blue dot NC. I was initially planning to do a repartitioning then a CM7 install. However, I started with the repartitioning then thought maybe I shud root the NC and ran the ManualNooter (which I later realised was for stock 1.2). I then installed CM7, gapps and OC'ed kernel. Everything went fine but after rebooting, I am stuck at the n COLOR animation. No CM7 starts. Does anyone have any idea what I can do now?
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
If you are at the n Color animation, then you’re stuck with it trying to start the stock rom. To flash CM7, you need to go to CWM, and “wipe data/factory reset," then “wipe cache partition,” and then flash CM7, gapps, and then OC Kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] pspTP:
Thanks. I did flash CM7, gapps and OC kernel in that order. I had done the wipe data/factory reset, however I dont recall if I did the wipe cache bfore CM7 flash. I will try that again today and report. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It seems that a few things haven't been taking with the newest version according to reports in this thread, but I can't seem to see any cause why this would be.

Outside of the fact that 4-5-25 is missing the com.google.andriod.maps permissions file that was included in 4-5-18, the market null fix appears at this time to be isolated. I remember one individual resorted to starting all over, and was able to have success. I have posted the Market_fix.zip file in two different treads, but have yet to have one of the individuals respond back telling me if it worked for them or not. This thread appears to have slowed done, so it appears that people are having less problems then in the past.
[Nook Color Android Development] damthman:
I changed

ro.product.model=Flyer

ro.product.brand=Flyer (i dont think this is necessary but i started to get all change happy and begin to laugh maniacally and thought what the hell and now am too lazy to change it back and see if it still works)

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

and then netflix worked beautifully.

i started changing things because i noticed that for a ton of apps (okay maybe not a ton, but at least two) the market blocks our ability to download and use them. for example both thumb keyboard and age of zombies i get told by the market that "This app is incompatible with your HTC Flyer (post build prop change before it said BarnesandnobleNookColor)." (said in my movie voice over voice). so i dont know why the market is seeing these apps as uncompabatable, but when i have time i might try my amateur skills at it. maybe it is the chip setting in the buildprop that is tripping up and the market thinks that it is too slow for these apps. I dont know. but that is the reason that I choose HTC Flyer and now it Netflix works like a charm.

Just incase you want to know what i know have

1.2.0

Try running the permissions fix in ROM Manager. I had this problem and this solved it.
[Nook Color Android Development] erikcave:
Thanks for this. I updated to Flash 10.3 in the market right after running MN and got the boot loop where where I was stuck on the animation spelling out the colorful "Nook Color". I deleted FlashPlayer.apk from /system/app and it boots fine now. So, thanks.

On a side note, Flash works fine, and the Market still says I have 10.3 and under applications in system it says I have Flash Player 10.3 version 10.3.185.23

On another side note, this is the command I used to delete the file in case there is anyone else out there that sucks at ADB and needs help figuring it out. It took me like 20 minutes to figure it out searching through all the unfriendly ADB user guides out there.

adb shell rm /system/app/FlashPlayer.apk

Tonight I went into BN and tried to access a book using their In-store functionality for the NC. I was there last week and was able to do so. However, tonight when I selected the book I wanted to read it just showed a loading bar that never completed. Actually, it never started downloading the book nor did it time out.

When I got home this evening, I tried to download a sample chapter from a book, and was also unable to do so. The loading bar issue appeared again and it just said 'Processing' under the price of the book.

Any ideas as to what is causing this issue?

TIA.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I'll get a new MN that contains that permission files... but it'll probably be a day or two.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Is it significant that 4-5-25 is also missing system/etc/permissions/features.xml that was in 4-5-18? Not sure exactly what that does but this is the first MN that it's missing from...
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Man, 1.2 sucks. Or is it manual nooter?

Just too many bugs and glitches when comparing to rooted 1.1:

Imdb and many other apps don't work, significantly shorter battery life.

I could care less about flash or pathetic app store.

How do I go back to 1.1? But then again, there's no proven method to prevent OTA update back to 1.2.

This is starting to be really annoying:D
[Nook Color Android Development] w8wca:

My battery life is the same as stock 1.2.0 or even 1.1.0 was

There are 2 ways (not including wifi off) to stop OTA updates:

You need to edit the file/etc/hosts.

and add this line 127.0.0.1 images.barnesandnoble.com barnesandnoble.com

Thanks to HamNCheese for that

and

Open Root Explorer

Tap on Data.

Next screen tap on Data.

Tap on devicemanager.db Tap on registry

Turn to go to landscape mode

Go to com.bn.device.fota.mode and look over to the "value" column. It should say auto or automatic.

Long touch on Auto and choose "edit fields". Change Auto to Manual and hit save.

I have BN1.2 with MN4.5.25 and have no problems. I did have a problem with OC but restored my nandroid and installed Dalingren's OC and everything is fine. You do have to follow the instructions in OP as written EXACTLY. So far none of the complaints have been consistently reproducible.

On another NC, I have a rooted BN1.1 since 4/15/2011 with the update field in the db set to "manual". And no updates. On a third NC (unrooted) BN1.1, the BN1.2 update came through within one week of purchase.

You might want to try:

- restore to stock BN1.2 with Nemith's zip file

- register NC and download and the books.

- apply MN4.5.25
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
This worked great for me too! My problem was a little different though and I only changed ro.product.model and .manufacturer, but not the .brand. My problem was that Netflix mostly worked in that I could log in, select a video and it would start playing and I could hear it, but I saw nothing on my screen (it was black). The problem is, I don't know (and now don't care to try to figure it out) if it was Dalingrin's OC Kernel update that caused the problem, or the fact that I changed my lcd_density to 187 (or even something else or the combination). But anyway, this worked and I'm extremely grateful!
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
You are a genius. It worked. Thank you!!!

Now, I tried side loading apps and I get the security message that the NC is blocked from installing apps not from the Market. I went to Nook Tools and do see that it is checked to install non-market apps. However, it reads that I should copy apps to system/app folder. I tried to do this via Astro file manager but it does not allow me to copy anything into the system/app folder. Is this the only option to side load apps? Thanks again!
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
You need to uncheck the box and then recheck the box. It's strange but it works.
[Nook Color Android Development] pspTP:
Tried this tonight and still get stuck at the n color animation. Did I screw something up coz I ran the manual rooter AFTER repartitioning?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I have yet to reproduce issues associated with 4.5.25 listed in various postings here. I moved from B&N 1.1/Autonooter 3.0 to Manualnooter 4.5.18 only when the calendar function was resolved. Then updated to 4.5.25.

Yesterday, I braved installing OC with Dalingrin's OC kernel [6/13/11] emmc zip and installing his tweak app. The only issue has been the book icons on B&N home were slow to refresh on the initial boot.

So today at work, I am using the NC as my mp3 player and will check out the battery life.

Great job, GabrialDestruir on MN 4.5.25!
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Don’t pay attention to what is says about copying apps to /system/app, it is referring to the “NookColor Tools” app must be install in /system/app for that function to work, it is installed at that location with MN.

You need to uncheck the box and then recheck it to allow for side-loaded apps. Once this is done once, you should not have to do it again.

You might have told me this before, but what version of CWM are you using? Running MN after doing the repartition should have nothing to do with it since wiping just clears the work that MN did.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Short of the partition locations being swapped completely (/data becoming p8 or something) This should work just fine on any NC regardless of partition sizes, since it doesn't wipe or format anything using an older CWM shouldn't affect whether this works on those devices. However you should ALWAYS use the latest version of CWM.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
The post is not really in relation to MN. He received a blue dot NC from OverStock.com, assumed that it was version 1.2.0, and tried to do the repartition then flashed MN. It got stuck at the n boot screen, then has tried to wipe and flash CM7, but is still stuck at the n boot screen.

He has since started a new thread in general area, located HERE
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Ah well the information about repartitions and MN is still actually valid information. But yea. Will try and have a new MN with the various missing permission files up tonight.

MN fingerprint change

I noted, what MN 4.5.25 has a script to change fingerprint in build.prop to samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/ZUJJ4:user/release-keys. But it does not do this. Fingerprint has zoom2 after applying MN.

Is it a bug or a feature?

P.S. I formated all partitions with CWM, flashed "update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed" and applyed MN 4.5.25.

P.P.S. Before first run Market, I put in build.prop HTC and HTC Vision in all suitable places, so my NC looks like HTC HTC Vision in my market account.

After some installing I change all Vision on to Desire, but market still keep me as Vision. Do I need to reformat all and start from scratch or there is a short way to solve this?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
FWIW, I find this to be true as well, although I have had no issues at all. My build.prop is identical to the one that comes with B&N 1.2 update, even after applying a couple of different revs of MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Hmm.... so the fingerprint isn't actually getting changed by MN?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Yeah...where does it actually get sed from? Does it automatically use busybox for that? I tested the commands in packages.sh and buildprop.sh and I don't think either one is working. At least with packages, it changed the file (when I ran it with busybox). It added the sigs lines below.

<shared-user name="android.uid.system" userId="1000">

<sigs count="1">

<cert index="0" />

</sigs>

<perms>

But with the buildprop script, even running with busybox it still didn't change anything.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Hmm... seems perhaps it might be faulty SED, if someone could post a working piece of SED that actually changes build.prop I'll replace the one that's currently there. As for packages.xml I'm not so sure that's needed anymore.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
If you use this:

sed -i 's/^.*ro.build.fingerprint.*$/ro\.build\.fingerprint=samsung\/GT-P1000\/GT-P1000\/GT-P1000:2\.2\/FROYO\/ZUJJ4:user\/release-keys/' build.prop

You will get this, which is the expected result, I believe:

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/ZUJJ4:user/release-keys

For what's its worth, I installed 4.6.16 this morning and the wifi didn't work. I then powered-down the NC, reinstalled 4.6.16, and then reinstalled Dalingrin's OC kernel [6/13/11]. Voila! Works.

Then again, my NC seemed to work without issue with 4.5.25....

thumbs up

:D
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Considering there's only a 2 file difference between 4.6.16 and it's former 4.5.25 I think it may of been more related to the stock kernel with the Unknown -18 fix replacing Dalin's kernel than any differences between the two MN versions. Did you make any changes to wifi that were dependent on that Kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Yesterday, I logged into a new network while waiting in the doctor's office. I am not sure if that makes it (wifi/wifi settings) dependent on the OC kernal, though that is the only wifi change that comes to mind since I only installed the OC kernal the night before. I may have installed Shopping List from Market. Hmm, not all of my Market apps appear, I'll have to redo the Market tweak which may rebuild the list.

Initially, I questioned myself if I should reinstall the OC kernel after updating MN, interesting. Ah, learning is so fun at times.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
It is kernel related. I have never looked into all the changes Dalingrin OC kernel has, but yes wifi does not work if you replace his kernel with a stock one. To fix wifi you just flash his kernel back.
