Gabriel,

Thanks. I will try that. I have been nootered since version 1.0 and the store has been hit or miss with different versions, but for me in my store, it has been consistently working for the versions that worked.

On another note, I did role back after Kaiten, dolphin, and launcher pro kept crashing. I will try again when I get more time and will also get logcats.

Thanks again. Regardless if hickups, this is truly excellent.

No issues with my network connection. Computers and everything else connecting just fine, only issues stem from the NC. As previously stated, a reboot of the NC fixes the issue until it glitches again, requiring yet another reboot.

There are a few logcat apps on the market; such as, LogViewer (Logcat), CatLog - Logcat Reader, etc., ... which one is best recommended to use?

UPDATE: I decided to install "

CatLog

" after reading several of the reviews. It seems to work well since trying it so I'll use it for now unless there are better recommendations given.

Bringing up CatLog displays the following error callouts:

Anyone else have Netflix autostarting itself in the background? When I go into manage apps and check what is currently running, Netflix seems to keep restarting itself behind the scenes without my help. Any way to prevent this from happening?

Yes, that is your problem.

Look in the trash for the zip.

After it is unzipped that's where it goes.

I finally got it to install, thanks guys for all your help.

[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
On a related note...

GabrialDestruir - it's a really good idea to sign your zips, just to prevent the soft of chaos going on with the accidental zipping and unzipping of stuff.

You'll need to install a JRE, and grab a copy of signapk.jar and a generate self-signed certificate using OpenSSL.

The result is META-INF contain extra files with SHA1 signatures for each file in your package. It's good practice, and helps dummy-proof things (as much as you can.)

Run once (from say, your homedir):

openssl genrsa -out mykey.pem 1024

openssl req -new -key mykeykey.pem -out myrequest.pem

openssl x509 -req -days 999 -in myrequest.pem -signkey mykey.pem -out mycertificate.pem

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in mykey.pem -inform PEM -out mykey.pk8 -nocrypt

Run once to sign each new flash-able zip:

java -jar /path/to/signapk.jar ~/mycertificate.pem ~/key.pk8 /path/to/your/update.zip /path/to/output/update-signed.zip

You should end up with something like this in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)

Name: META-INF/com/google/android/update-script

SHA1-Digest: PJ7vFylIeOGT4m/Fs53DhlWDE4M=

This way we dont' have to disable signature checks (which serve the purpose of detecting corrupted (or otherwise altered) zip fiels prior to flashing.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnny15:
I had the same issue you had when doing adb devices and then the list would be blank. It originally had my NC listed under "Portable Devices" as well as "Universal Serial Bus Controllers". I uninstalled the two drivers for Portable devices but until I found the third one (listed as either USB Composite Device or USB Mass Storage Device) w/ Hardware ID 2080, it never worked properly.

I am also running Windows 7 x64, so our setups should be similar.... Hope you find it.
[Nook Color Android Development] jwdean26:
How did you get Titanium Backup installed after rooting using ManualNooter? I tried downloading it, but it won't install since it is not in /system/apps. How can I get it there without any file managers? I really don't know how to use ADB commands.

In the changelog where it says you got rid of live wallpapers what does that mean?

After HamNCheesing my 1.2 I loaded Google Maps and WPClock and both show up in the Live Wallpapers tab under the stock Home settings. Does ManualNooter disable live wallpapers altogether or what?
[Nook Color Android Development] Pentagram:
For those with missing apps in market this did the trick for me:

STEPS:

1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.

Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account

2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.

3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.

Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications

4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.

5) Select the Applications option

6) Select the Manage applications option

7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.

8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.

9) Tap on the Clear cache option button

10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!

11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.

12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.

13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.

13) Tap on the Force close button now.

14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.

15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.

16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."

This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.

17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.

18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing! :D

I found this solution on a forum called gadgetsandtablets
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
yeh this is the usual market fix for most tablets. I just assumed it would have been tried already :)

Are all apps showing for you? facebook, quadrant, dropbox etc?
[Nook Color Android Development] Pentagram:
Yep they are all showing
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
lol brilliant. Typical that the most obvious solution was the right one
[Nook Color Android Development] Pentagram:
I'm just happy I that could help to find the solution :) Maybe you should add it to the install instructions in the OP?
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
Awesome, this worked... thanks!

NOTE: After the reboot, I received "16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."" once again immediately upon attempting to restart the Android Market. I clicked OK and then restarted the Android Market once more and it fired up with apps showing.

EDIT: Not able to install.... just tried to install Titanium Backup and Root Explorer but getting "Download was unsuccessful, please try again." Anyone else with this error?
[Nook Color Android Development] buellwinkle:
This is great, Market is now working and searched for Paper Toss, installed it, ran it SUCCESS!
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Well... this did get me an updated list... however (using 1.82) I seem to have ran into the issue with it not downloading/installing again. This was an issue I ran into last night on this version of market and had auto-magically fixed itself.
[Nook Color Android Development] jwdean26:
They are all showing now for me, but when I try to download, it is unsuccessful.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Did you post two or three different sets of errors together... because as far as I can tell it looks like a jumble of just errors... the Handsfree Headset, looks like somethings trying to access a bluetooth headset or a wired headset... while the wakelock before that looks like it's nulling just randomly... this doesn't actually give anything useful. Devs need the information around it so they can see what's going on.
[Nook Color Android Development] lexluthor:
I did the manual nooter yesterday.

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is that little bookmark button at the bottom (in the row with the back and menu buttons) doesn't do anything.

On the previous auto-nooter, that took me back to the book I was reading.

Is there any way to get that to work again?
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
If you read through or search the thread you'll find that this is a known issue. Also the 1.1.0 Nooter was an anomaly in allowing the Nook reader icon to work. You'll need to download something called "Nook Home" which is again linked somewhere in this thread. You'll need to run it to get the reader icon to work in the background after Nootering.
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
Lexluthor,

In order to get that to work, go to the BN launcher, and open a book. Then, close the book. Now it should take you right back to where you left off in any launcher (I use launcher pro and it works).

Now, if only I could figure out how to make it do that with Aldiko, that would be amazing.

Cheers.

~Leko
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Nook Home is included in MN 4.5.25. You can use this to launch the stock home launcher and then hit the N button to go back to zeam. As long as the stock home is running in the background, the book icon will work. However, I found that after a while it stops working and actually, after installing adw (the free version) it stays resident and working, even though I don't use adw as my default launcher.

That's my solution...YMMV
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
After playing with MN .25 today, I have only one issue. I cannot install the Delta app because of "shared library" issues. I will try the Google Maps fix I found and report back. (Backup already made.)
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
I applied the Maps fix, and it does not fix the app installation problem. For information, the apps I have found which will not install are Delta Airline and Groupon. I have tried side loading, downloading with SD card removed and moving the cached .apk file, and direct downloading (SD mounted and removed). Not a deal breaker, just the only bug I've run across with MN .25. Well worth the trade-off of having a sync'd calendar.
[Nook Color Android Development] andream2g:
I have both of these installed and working on my NC. Running 4.5.25. The problem with Groupon I have is "my location" shows me in Chicago when I am actually in Hawaii.
[Nook Color Android Development] theseus9t6:
Ok I got 25 to work for me finally. I had to extract the vending.apk from the zip and replace the one in the apps folder with it. A reboot and all is well...

I love being up to date. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] eamodio:
I am seeing the same with .25. Any ideas?

I am still fiddling - there has got to be a way around the missing shared library error. :-/
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Okay, the permissions fix worked! (adding the permissions file - the framework .jar file was already in my /system folder) The mistake I made the first time around was not getting the permissions right after I copied the .xml file into /system/etc/permissions.

Groupon can't find me, of course, but having the Delta app working right is more important to me. Woohoo!
[Nook Color Android Development] theseus9t6:
Ok, I have fixed the market. I have two issues.

1. During boot I noticed that the process takes about 3 times as long to finish. Not sure why.

Fix permissions in CWM fixed this...

2. Calendar sync still isn't working for me. Any thoughts on getting that to work?

Incidentally Flash 10.3 causes a boot loop for me still. I'll have to mess with that some more.

I will say that we owe a huge thanks to the devs who are putting in a lot of time. You guys rock!
[Nook Color Android Development] quebec88:
Upgraded from 4.5.6 to 4.5.25 and I'm also having the problem with the Marketplace opening. Tried the suggestions mentioned in the thread to no avail. Seems like the renaming of the vending.apk file did the trick for some. The problem that I'm having with that is that it will not allow me to rename or copy over that file. I'm using ES File Explorer as that is the only option that I have right now. I'm I doing something wrong here? Any help would be appreciated. I understand that Root Explorer seemed to work, but I do not have that app.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] eejimen:
Another option is to use File Expert. From with in the App folder press Menu > More > Mount > Read/Write. Then long press on vending.apk. From pop up menu select File Tasks(?) > Rename. Reboot. Repeat. This is from memory so its not 100% exact but procedure is correct.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
I'm having trouble locating a download for the permissions file. Also, how did you get the permission right--what setting did you select?

Thanks...
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Go here http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market to download the file (at the bottom, ignore HC title).

Then open the zip file in your Nook Color (downloaded directly, drop box, or moved onto your SD card from your computer), and tell it to extract the files. Go to the "extracted" folder on your SD card, make your way through the gapps file hierarchy, and copy the permissions file (.xml file).

Assuming you are using Root Explorer, go to /system/etc/permissions, change to R/W, and hit "paste." Then long press on the new .xml file, hit "permissions," and change the permissions to owner: read, write; group: read; others: read.

Then close and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Wow! Great information. Got the file, etc. Is this supposed to fix WiFi based location? My Location button on Maps and my weather program continue to request activating GPS in System settings--obviously not possible with the Nook.

Thanks for you help...Much appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
No problem. It does not fix the "my location" option; it lets the app install and work, but it cannot find you. I have not seen a "my location" fix yet for stock 1.2. Then my NC, OC'd to 1.1gHz, would be *perfect*.

. . . until I break it again while trying to fix it. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] mtnguy:
FAKEGPS 'fixes' the location problem.

OOPS! I 'know' that FakeGPS 'used' to work ... perhaps with 4.5.6???? I only use Phiremod 6.3 and/or MN and since Phiremod has no problems with location I must have used it with 4.5.6. However, I'm NOT going back from 4.5.25 because all is working (except location).

AND, Yes, FakeGPS is a 'spoof' but it is better than nothing since some apps REQUIRE location.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Unable to find this apk on Market, App-Brain, etc. Any links?
[Nook Color Android Development] theseus9t6:
Be warned though, it doesn't work for all programs...

Search for it with google...

http://www.appbrain.com/app/fake-gps-location/com.lexa.fakegps
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Fake GPS doesn't really fix the My Location problem - it allows you to manually create spoofed location points, but does not allow the Nook Color to be "found". I (personally) do not find it to be helpful -- maybe if I did not have my EVO 4G as a backup!
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
Doesn't appear for me. Could it have been taken down by Google as a malicious app? They removed a bunch of these 2 or 3 days ago.
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
I got my NC rooted with MN. Question is if I want if I want to sell my NC, will deregistering wipe and delete root access.

Also how can I overclock? Setcpu? If so, any particular settings that work fine. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] -Thrive-:
What did you do to get your calendar to sync? I can't find any sync settings.

Edit: I downloaded Calendar Pad from the market (great app that I have been using on my phone for a while) and it immediately synced with Google Calendar without me doing anything (other than prior login to Google). I was never able to get the calendar app in the app drawer (that I think came with MN) to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Okay - question for GabrielDestruir and GMPOWER on this one...

I asked over on the thread that gmpower started for his fix for market installation errors whether the code had been released so Dalingrin could do an updated OC kernel and Dalingrin said that he had already addressed this in his first .32 release.

Now, there were 3 fixes in the latest MN here - calendar sync, error 18 for market installs, and new market FCs. When I look at the MN zip, I see framework changes, apk changes, and, of course, the kernel.

So, the question to you guys who can answer is this: was the kernel change in this release only to support the market installation error and, if so, does that mean that someone could simply drop dal's last stock OC kernel on top of the latest MN and lose nothing?
[Nook Color Android Development] eejimen:
Duh, my fault, I forgot the first thing to do is allow root exploerer access. This can be found Menu > More > Settings > File Explorer Settings > Root Explorer. Click the check box then click the 'Allow' for super user access.

Now: Menu > More > Mount > Mount as Read Write.

If this help click Thanks. Good Luck
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Someone may need to verify but I believe I fixed all the kernel issues with app installation(APP2SD) and such back around May 10th. This was in my first release of 2.6.32. My kernel should be a drop in replacement. I haven't heard of anyone having issues.

I suppose I should have communicated this to the ManualNooter people :(
[Nook Color Android Development] dalex7777:
Could you please post MD5 Checksum for this? Since this is low-level firmware flashed ZIP I would hope the OP would always post this.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
Anyone? Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I hadn't known this was fixed in any of your Kernels and saw no mention of the Unknown Reason -18 being fixed by other users (I hadn't actually checked your threads.)

With this fix being in your Kernels that means by replacing it they won't lose anything provided by GMPOWER's kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This kernel only addresses the Market Install Error Framework/apk changes were all to get Calendar/Market working properly.
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Well, I'll be doggone. I am running the 5/23 kernel to overclock to 1.1mHz, and did not realize you fixed the APP2SD. I just verified on my NookColor that apps can be moved. I am running the latest MN, with dal's 2.6.32 5/23 kernel. With the shared library permissions fix discussed in this thread earlier today, my NC is running smoothly.
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
Do the 8 boot interupt method to get the BN flash going then it is basically fresh from the box again. To overclock you need to install an overclocked kernel, then use setcpu.
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
Thanks. Do I lose root by doing the 8 boot interrupt?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
So, umm...what's left then? Network location and the book icon?

I mean, seriously, this is pretty damned amazing.

Hats off to you guys. Between the group of you, you rooted and got working an entirely new os version in exactly a month (4/25 to 5/25) except for two small nits and with overclocking to boot.

One quick suggestion though - and not sure how others would feel - would be to pull in the O/C kernel and setcpu to the next version.

Thanks again for all the hard work!

(now if someone could fix that damned book icon!)
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
+1 this. Seriously amazing, and thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] joej:
Ditto to the +1
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Just as an added note here, I just updated my 4.5.18 MN to 4.5.25 and the O/C kernel at the same time.

Basically, I put both zips on the CWM card and immediately after running 4.5.25, I ran the O/C zip. Just one extra step before the reboot. I then went out and put setcpu on it (2.14).

No issues showing so far - no FCs, etc and I see the new market with what appears to be full visibility. My battery got seriously low, so I can't really play around with it much at the moment, but looks good for now. I'll post back if I have any problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] Windsor1959:
I installed this kernel this morning, on top of MN 4.5.25. I've OCd the kernel to 1.1 ghz. All is well! Many thanks to one and all!
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
Yes, your NC will be reset to the default firmware install that it shipped with upon completing the 8 boot interrupt.
[Nook Color Android Development] quebec88:
Thanks eejimen. Marketplace is now working!
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I was completely unaware that your kernel had fixed the problem. It is nice to know that people can go from stock to your kernel without missing out on any of the fixes.
