You guys realize that there is absolutely no difference between 4.5.6 and 4.5.18 except for changing the touchscreen xml and adding nookhome, right? I mean *everything* else is identical.
[Nook Color Android Development] numus:
I can't locate NookHome anywhere in my nook.. any help on the location?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
If you are using MN 4.5.18, it's in /data/app on the system, but it should show up in your app drawer anyway. If you used an earlier version, you have to install it yourself.

I posted a modified framework for Rooted Stock 1.2 here. As of this writing it's untested so

Ok, today when I opened market it auto updated a bunch of gapps plus flash, and then boot loop. I noticed before I rebooted that flash and the gapps have auto updated enabled. You can mark the box next to the app in market and it will not auto update.

After I reinstall I will try to uncheck auto update.

Rick

[Update] So after getting back to where I was, you can uncheck the update app. First time in market, download a few apps. Then go back into market and look at downloads and at some point the Google Apps and Flash show up needing updates. At this time they do not auto update, but you can click on each item and uncheck the auto update flag. Will see if this sticks after a day or two.

i have tried multiple micro sd cards, but i can not boot into cwm to run this! i was able to boot into cwm just fine on previous firmware, but Im unable to know.

any suggestions?

Ive tried a 4gb Class 4 sd and 2 2GB cards. ( all worked on previous nook firmware.)
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
Are you making sure you are getting the correct image. For the 4gb card you need the 4gb CWM image, and the same for the 2gb's, the 2gb image.

I tried this, and the nook still passes the sd card and boots normally.

Ok, so as a test today, I did a nandroid of my NC, downloaded and installed root uninstaller, and uninstalled flash 10.1. I then rebooted my NC, downloaded and installed flash 10.3 - rebooted again, and NC doesn't boot loop. I have restarted several times, including rebooting from CWM on SD (a sure way to force a boot loop for me)m and no boot loops. It looks like a fresh install of flash 10.3 does work, whereas updating through the market doesn't.

I know it was speculated before, but I was too chicken to try it.

Oh. Running MN 4.5.18
[Nook Color Android Development] siddhantfriends:
Thx for quite quick reply and sorry for my delay. Can u do a little bit of testing and make a stable release for rooted 1.2? It will be appereciated. And might be helpful for all users. In addition to that plz try n check the apps that didnt work earlier. If everything goes fine u can suggest the developer of MN to include ur file into MN.

Thx for ur efforts. :)

My nook color 1.2 is stuck on the boot up screen and wont go past. It was working fine, and then I powered down, and powered back up again but it was stuck. I tried to reflash manualnooter, but no joy. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This is something that won't ever make it into MN. With MN I'm trying to keep from having to resort to things like this so that when B&N decides to release an update we don't have to resort to rehacking their stuff.
[Nook Color Android Development] nukeruss:
If you set up overclock then that would probably be the problem. Either way you can try flashing the stock kernal and it might save you.

[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I'm assuming you got the 10.3 flash update, which caused your NC to boot loop, I still need someone to confirm whether deleting flash data via CWM's ADB from /data will fix this which I believe it will. This should be an equivalent of uninstall and allow you to boot up and if this is the case could allow 10.3 to put into the next MN to prevent this issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] andream2g:
I am running MN 4.5.18 and uninstalled 10.1 and Adobe Air a few days ago. Then installed Flash 10.3 and Adobe Air 2.6. via ApplaNet. I have not had any problems at all. No boot-loops. If anyone had any problems I would like to know so I can revert.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Yes it appears if you uninstall before installing they work great, but if they autoupdate into flash 10.3 without the entire uninstall thing it tends to break stuff. Deleting all flash app related stuff should fix the boot loops. I've yet to try and was hoping someone else could confirm.
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
Never tried to update (and thus no boot-loop) flash, but uninstalled 10.1 and installed 10.3 from Market without any trouble.

I thought I could follow directions; I printed them out and checked off every step as I completed them. I had nothing but issues; nothing seemed to work for me. Then it dawned on me “DOH!!!” the directions DID NOT say to log in and register when the 1.2 update from Barnes and Nobel was done, prior to the Manual Nooter. As soon as I really followed the directions it was smooth sailing. Thank you all for this update.
[Nook Color Android Development] rfryar:
What I did that was the fastest "get back running" was to boot into Clockwork and clear data and reboot. That put the nook color back to 1.2 stock. Then I could reapply MN. After it was reapplied I removed flash 10.1, rebooted, installed 10.3 and rebooted and it was fine.

Can someone like the Nook HomeLauncher APK? It didn't install for some reason and easier to just link out the apk and download it on the device then push it over.
[Nook Color Android Development] martian21:
Flash 10.3 - How I hate thee:

Got the boot loops after the Flash 10.3 update (didn't realize it was Flash 10.3 yet). I tried wiping cache and dalvik as well as fix permissions in Clockmorkmod - none of which helped. After a complete re-install of 1.2 and ManualNooter, I updated to Flash 10.3 again and got the boot loops again. Then I finally realized Flash was the culprit!

So off to ADB via Clockworkmod:

After wasting an hour, I figured out that the new sdk-tools changed the tools directory to something else (needed to update my path after updating SDK). Then I then couldn't access /data or /system via the shell. I finally remembered that you have to mount /system and /data in Clockworkmod in order to be able to access them. I knew this but was having an intellectually challenged moment....

I tried renaming a com.android.flash1.apk or something along those lines in /data/app (going from sleep deprived memory at the moment) but that didn't fix the boot loop.

Renaming /system/app/flash.apk (or whatever it is) to flash.apk.bak finally got me out of the boot loop. Of course this also broke flash, but at least I can boot and don't have to wipe again.

I'll try to uninstall / re-install tonight and see it that fixes 10.3 for good.

[Nook Color Android Development] joelhon:
Thank you all for the replies for my bootloop issues. I think I have decided to do cm7 from sd. It is less invasive, and I'm still learning this device. I have flashed my i9000 plenty of times, but just got the nc and they seem a little different.

Interesting that some could just update FlashPlayer. When I tried to do a straight update originally it looked as though it did download and started installing, then it told me it couldn't install . That was how I ended up uninstalling first.
[Nook Color Android Development] kftgr:
hi, I'm on 4.5.6 right now. Is there a way to simply update the touchscreen.xml, or must I go through the whole 4.5.18 installation process? I already have NookHome installed.

So people here are actually able to see Flash 1.3 on the Market? I have been able to find any app I've searched for including anything I've previously bought except for Flash 1.3. I ended up having to pull the APK from my Incredible and copy it over to my Nook to install it.
[Nook Color Android Development] bchau:
Where is the Flash apk stored in the Incredible phone? I would like to try the same.

I used TB to wipe data then uninstall Flash 10.1, I found Flash 10.3 on Applant and had to try installing 3 times but it finally installed, rebooted and works great.... netflix + flash player 10.3 is perfect on the nook!
[Nook Color Android Development] capnron65:
re: flash update to 10.3

Okay, I was getting a little curious and decided to try uninstalling flash and then installing flash 10.3 from Applanet.net.

I also uninstalled Adobe Air, as someone else suggested, in order to update that. Well, don't bother with Air because it will take you back to 2.5 and the latest is 2.6. So I just deleted 2.5 and restored 2.6 in Titanium backup.

It took me SEVERAL tries to get flash 10.3 to install. It kept saying that there was a parsing error in reading the file, but persistence paid off and it finally installed. So now according to Titanium Backup Adobe Flash Player 10.3.10.3.185.21 is installed and working with no boot loops. I guess it seems a little faster.

BTW, I feel dirty after visiting that applanet place. Is that a reasonably trustworthy source? Seems kinda sleazy, but what do I know.

[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
A couple things, first off, new version!

Secondly, I have 10.3 in my Market and it's not once tried to auto update on me so it's rather curious that it's happening to some others.

Looking into possible solutions to the flash issue including possibly including an update in the next version to resolve issues with 10.3.

Enjoy, all credit for the fixes in this edition go to GMPOWER.
[Nook Color Android Development] edboston:
I would guess for the people that are getting it updated automatically, they have it checked to auto update in the market. I believe that was one of the apps set to auto update by default.

[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
First, thanks for all the hard work on this.

I just flashed 4.5.25 over ?4.5.6? (the version before .18 - I'd already made the two changes myself). Gmail and Market will not open for me (tries to, than closes). Looking in "all apps," I do not see a google services framework. Perhaps I am missing something?

In any case, the update is not working for me - I did not change anything or clear anything, just flashed the new version via CMR.

Also, I did reboot after the first failure to open Gmail and Market, but no change.

I see the google services framework .apk file in the .zip, and I see it in /system/app, but it does not show up in "all applications." Suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] andream2g:
Since I have 10.3 Flash on my current 4.5.18 version I am guessing this will take me back to 10.1? This version doesn't fix the signature issues (Maps, News&Weather) correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] jpeg42:
I guess it is obvious, but flashing 4.5.25 on top of 4.5.18 with dal's OC kernel caused issues for me. Specifically I couldn't get the wifi to work. So I had to reflash the OC kernel and everything works fine, but I assume I no longer have the market fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] ehcan:
The latest manual-nooter 4.5.25 has a uImage, anyone knows what is it for?
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
I was about to ask the same question (it's likely the stock kernel since it doesn't work with Dal's modified wilan driver). It's not specified in the changelog. I think I'm going to try the MN again. Removing the boot replacement entirely. I'm dual booting the stock so the uramdisk will not work in any case. Unless maybe you can modify his uramdisk to mount partition 9&10 instead.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
I just updated to 4.5.25, everything seemed to update OK, until I tried to open Market. I get a white screen, the spinning circle like it is starting to load, then the screen goes back to home. Any suggestions??
[Nook Color Android Development] Bfmersion:
Flash 3.3

Using 4.5.18, I can confirm the experience of several others. Removed 10.1 in System/App with Root Explorer and then installed 10.3 from Market. Through several reboots, all is well.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Try opening nook color tools, manage applications, to go market and clear both cache and data. Reboot and try again.

**

Just finished flashing this. Seemed like most issues are getting resolved.. however, my exchange email doesn't work. Every time I finish configuring it, the server's remote control security setting tries to update security setting and FC's the whole thing. I tried restoring the email data from nookie froyo and it works until the server tries to update security settings remotely and crashes the email client. Clearly some dependencies and security policies are not included/lacks permission. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] ks_47:
Tried clearing data and cache with no luck. market still crashes.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
Same problem here, After clearing both data and cache, and rebooting, it did pop up a screen with accept/decline on the bottom. I selected accept, and it crashed.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Just installed 4.5.25 - very nice job. Thanks GMPOWER and GD for the great work! My observations:

I had Dalgren's OC kernel installed on 4.5.18. Upon upgrading to 4.5.25, Setcpu would not go above 600. It previously went up to 1200. Also, under gmail settings, Calendar sync was not an option. I did not try to clear data/cache. Besides, a clean install is always a good idea.

I went back to BN1.2 stock using Nemith's zip file. No CWM on emmc. Upon installing 4.5.25 everything was perfect. Market showed all the apps, calendar now sync. Contacts has its limitations as previously noted by GD.

The amazon app store did not show up - but an installed from a backup went perfectly.

I am one happy camper.

Flash works perfectly.
[Nook Color Android Development] andream2g:
Updated no problem

Updated from 4.5.18 with Flash 10.3 to 4.5.25 and had no problem with this update at all. New Market showed up after initial reboot, listed all my installed apps had some updates - they installed without any problems as well. Calender sync works also. Thanks to everyone for your continued work on MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This Kernel contains the fix for Unknown Reason -18 if you remove it from the update it won't copy over your current... or you can put dal's in place of it.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Nothing in MN should affect the stock Email client (I'm assuming this is what you're using). If you're experiencing FCs with it you should check B&N forums to see if it's also happening unrooted.

Then again with the recent Kernel change this is just an assumption, I would need GMPOWER to confirm that nothing he changed in the Kernel would affect this according to his thread he only enabled APP2SD
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I find it odd that both of you are experiencing crashes with Market/Gmail after running this, what versions of MN had you flashed previously, also can you list any significant changes you my have made to your NCs?
[Nook Color Android Development] carterd:
I am also seeing the same issue of the market crashing with this update. I have been updating with MN since the first release. the only change I can think of that may affect this is that I had installed GMpower's kernel. As he assisted with the update, I didn't think this would cause a problem.

I attempted to clear the data for the market and framework, but that didn't have any effect.

I restored my nandroid backup and market functions correctly. I then tried going back to the stock kernel and then ran MN again. I still see the same issue. I may try again, because I did not let the nook boot after restoring to the stock kernel. I can see if that has any effect.

I get crashes from the market and calendar both.
[Nook Color Android Development] markawashington:

I am getting "missing shared library" durning app install with 4.5.25. The app is the Delta Airlines app. I never had this error with any pervious versions of MN. I installed this version from stock 1.2.

Anyone seen this before? with any other apps.

Just wanted to check before I go back to stock and try again.

i went as far back as 4.5.6 updated to 4.5.18 with no problems with the market and gmail. Once updating to 4.5.25, market and gmail no longer work. I did'nt even install any apps yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] andream2g:
I also did every update since MN came out and installed GMPowers kernel , then did the latest MN 4.5.25 update. Everything works fine. I just went through every app, played around and downloaded some stuff from market, did some gmail stuff, YouTube, switched between NookHome, Zeam and B&N launchers, even checked my DeltaAIrlines app since someone said they are having problems with it.......just about anything that could make it act up to avoid having problems on my trip tomorrow but everything works just like before.
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
Installed MN 4.5.25 over MN 4.5.6 [Flash 10.1/Stock Kernel] and the market FC'd immediately. Did clear date/cache and then rebooted. Got the ACCEPT/DECLINE upon opening market again, loaded market home page and then FC'd couple seconds afterwards.

As well, getting an error upon opening TB... states that USB Debugging checkbox isn't checked even though it is. I've unchecked/rechecked the box, rebooted but nothing. Was working fine before. Obviously can't uninstall/reinstall to see if that helps so now I'm stuck for the moment.

Troubleshooting continues...

I have gotten the market to work now with MN 4.5.25

I checked the date on the vending.apk file in system/apps and saw the date was 8/2008.

the file in the MN zip was much more recent, May/2011. So I manually pushed the file to the nook and now the market is working. For some reason, the Vending.apk was not updating with the rest of the files.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Ditto, but I have yet to apply Flash 10.3. Maybe tomorrow night.

Added Touch Calendar,,, nice!:)

Great Job!
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
I just unzipped the MN 4.5.25 file as well and noticed that several of the files are newer in the zip file yet the files that are actually on the NC after updating MN are the older files. Why is that GD, do you know? Aren't the files supposed to be updating on the NC to the newer files that are in MN 4.5.25?

UPDATE: I renamed the older vending.apk to vending.apk.OLD and then copied the newer one located in the MN 4.5.25 zip on the NC via SD and Root Explorer. I had to 'app install' vending.apk to get the Market icon in the app drawer. I cleared data/cache and rebooted. Upon reboot, I then opened Market and clicked on ACCEPT and get the market home page to load w/o FC'ing..... that is until I click on something. Upon selecting anything, market FC's.

UPDATE2: Wow, 'k... I decided to try something else. I renamed the newer vending.apk file to vending.apk.NEW and then renamed vending.apk.OLD to vending.apk, rebooted the NC and then reopened Market. Market is now working again... downloading Netflix update to my NC now. Pretty ornery lil' buggers, these NC's!

This is starting to suck. I wanted to fix the nook kids books so I went back to stock and installed 4.5.18. Boot loops - figured out the market was autoupdating flash after cycling back through stock and 4.5.18 and now one of my previous apps is causing more loops after restoring via mybackup root and restarting. None of the restored apps are anything that is even running so I'm not even sure that's the problem. Looks like 4.5.25 is buggy as hell too.
