Flash Player 10.3

I apologize to whomever posted this, and if/when I find out, I'll be sure to thank you (I searched and could not find it). Flash Player 10.3 works great! I saw a post somewhere in this thread that said to delete (I renamed) the FlashPlayer.apk file from the /system/app directory and then sideload the new FlashPlayer 10.3 .apk file and it will work. I did this and it is working fine for me too. :)

Installation worked but won't boot

Ok, I've looked at first 10 pages and last 10 pages on the thread, and can't see anyone with the same issue as me....

Starting with a vanilla Nook, updated to 1.2 as per B&N's instructions. Only usage under stock was to register and access web. All my usage was with a CM7 bootable SD card.

I diligently followed the instructions to wipe (8 reboots, followed by erase & deregister), created CWM sdcard with ManualNooter on it, and switched on whilst connected to PC - booted into CWM, and installation seemed to work. Before selecting reboot from the CWM menu, I removed the SD card. When rebooted, the NC got as far as the "N" screen - and stayed there.

Tried several times, with no difference.

Any ideas?

When you did the wipe...did it return to 1.0...and did you then reinstall 1.2 and make sure it was working properly before running the MN?
[Nook Color Android Development] jaehdawg:
I renamed flash.apk and was able to install flash 10.3. Rebooted and everything is still working! Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
How do I force a download from the market or otherwise obtain an .apk file? I simply get a 'your device is not compatible' when attempting to obtain anything currently that is not NC compatible.

As well, I loaded some apps; i.e., Angry Birds, from Root Explorer but when I look at the market, it shows that the app isn't installed even though it is. Is this an issue with app install via alt methods?
[Nook Color Android Development] leskerr:
Doh!

Quote "4. You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions."

It did cross my mind that the wipe might remove 1.2....but then I forgot about it!

Installed and working now, and trying to adjust to differences from CM7.

E.g. I liked the virtual keys in the status bar for CM7 better than the ones with the Zeam Launcher.

Thanks!

Les:)
[Nook Color Android Development] leskerr:
Nother question...

With CM7, I could drag and drop kindle books from my PC to my kindle folder on the NC.

With Stock+MN, I have installled the Kindle app, but can't find the folder with the books.

Can I not access it when connected to the PC?

Les
[Nook Color Android Development] anymoose:
Have you tried Button Savior from the Market by way of virtual buttons? I much prefer it over Softkey.
[Nook Color Android Development] joehempel:
Don't get me wrong, I don't have the skills/ability/patience to deal with programming these things, and even trying to create a better user experience. The devs do a bang up job getting this organized and together. When I say nothing has changed...I meant on my Nook Color, not the devs and previous versions. One day it works, the next it doesn't, and teh only thing I've done was put it to sleep.

The ONLY reason I want mine rooted was to be able to download my ePubs from my Dropbox, and put them in the books folder so they show up in the Stock Library. Kind of like Trook for the Nook Classic. And to read comics. I've found a really round about way to do that with Aldiko/Astro Filemanager, because Astro creates a thumbnail file, and Root Explorer does not...but if I want all my books on the main memory, I can use Root Explorer to move it aross from the SD Card if need be.

I don't use this as a tablet, I have no reason to, and I don't subscribe to netflix, so to me that's neither here nor there, I would rather spend my time reading than watching a movie anyway.

So hopefully something like that will come along...or if there is an xml reader out there that downloads books the same way Aldiko does then that'd be cool too.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Any plans to enable copy/paste functionality? Or at least any workarounds?
[Nook Color Android Development] runningslow:
Have you tried using Calibre? Its a desktop application for managing an eBook Library. It won't download the ebooks from your Dropbox, but you can easily transfer books to a Nook/Nook Color via USB (plus many, many other e-readers) and the books will show up in your library, just like ebooks bought from B&N. You don't have to be rooted, either. Works perfectly with a completely stock Nook.

Comics on the other hand... I don't know.
[Nook Color Android Development] majakat:
My market is still saying An Error occurred after I restarted (using the market fix in the first post) anyone know what I should do?
[Nook Color Android Development] fatfingered:
That's always been an issue since day one for me. I just use the search command through the menu at the bottom instead of the search icon on the top right.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
I found a workaround for pasting text. SlideIT keyboard has copy/paste buttons located on the top bar when you switch to the numeric keyboard.
[Nook Color Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Good to know... but a pricey app!
[Nook Color Android Development] leskerr:
How did you activate SlideIt?

After installation, when I tapped "Enable SlideIt", a message box came up telling me to go to Settings/Language & Keyboard to enable SlideIt. However, the Nook settings are a cut down version that don't have this option. Or are you referring to a ROM other than stock/nootered?

Les
[Nook Color Android Development] leskerr:
I got that too, but when I tapped the icon a second time it worked!

Les
[Nook Color Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Move the APK from /data/app to /system/app then change the keyboard with NookColor Tools. I used Root Explorer to move it, but I'm sure you could use ADB to push it to /system/app as well.

EDIT: You will probably have to reboot your Nook after moving it before it will show up in NookColor Tools.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Update: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13270739&postcount=1
[Nook Color Android Development] leskerr:
Hmmm... there is absolutely nothing appearing in /data when I browse to it using Astro File Manager or ES File Explorer. I can see standard apps under /system/app.

So where is my SlideIt app? This is probably related to my problems with Kindle (see earlier post), where I can't find where the books (or app!) are stored.

Are there partitions that are hidden and have to be accessed in a different way.

PS: Plugging NC into PC, I only see /mnt/media on the PC.

Any ideas?

Les
[Nook Color Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Apparently ES File Explorer can not see anything in the /data folder unless the Root Explorer option is enabled. You can enable root access by going to ES Explorer Settings>Root Options>Root Explorer. It says it is only tested with CyanogenMod and HiAPK roms, but try it anyway. The worst that could happen is it breaks ES File Explorer, which you can fix by uninstall/reinstall it.

I'm at work currently so I can't test it myself, but I am able to see the contents of /data when the Root Explorer option is enabled on my phone.

Edit: If that doesn't work you're going to have to aquire Root Explorer, or use ADB to move it.
[Nook Color Android Development] leskerr:
The ES Root Explorer option only offered a choice of the two roms you mentioned, and both failed (disabling the option). So I went for the Root Explorer option, and it was the solution for both of my problems.

Thanks again!

For anyone else considering SlideIt, I think it is well worth the money - I feel crippled when I'm on a device that doesn't have it.

Les

[Nook Color Android Development] thekrautdog:
FYI I just wanted to add for the sake of more info that the same thing happened to me when trying to enable new kb's...nothing in the data/apps folder, and I'm using Root Explorer. A reboot set it right though. Was a little surprised as I had never had a single hitch with Root Explorer.
[Nook Color Android Development] billingdl:
If anyone knows of another option, I'd love to hear it. I use the Thumb Keyboard and like it, so don't want to have to change to get copy/paste, but I'd really like to have the copy/paste capability.

i just update to manualnooter 4.5.18. I am using CWM 3.0.1.0, Should I update that to 3.0.2.8? If I just flash that image onto a microSD do I need to do anything else?
[Nook Color Android Development] ROB281:
I'm sure this has been covered before but it's 2, and I have to be up in 4 hours so I'm through looking for now.

I get the angry birds failed install, I try the workaround on the first post, I pull the sd card out try again, and it tells me there's not enough memory

how do I fix that?
[Nook Color Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Agreed. Not sure if it's in the realm of possibility for the dev of ManualNooter to enable the long-press menu on text boxes. If not you might have more luck putting in a feature request for copy/paste with the Thumb Keyboard developer. I've already done so with SwiftKey and have my fingers crossed.

BTW I want to give a huge thanks to GabrialDestruir and everyone else listed on the first post. Amazing work people. :)

[Nook Color Android Development] brandsberg:
Does anyone have a feel for when Autonooter might become active for 1.2? I want to have in place and know everything is working to root my Nook before we leave to go to Italy the by June 20. Our life is complicated right now so would rather deal with an easier way to root if possible, but will root now if the Autonooter will not be ready in time.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
You know that as long as you have a bootable SD card, you can just drop ManualNooter on and it's the same thing, right? The only thing Autonooter does for you is save you the trouble of navigating the CMR menus.
[Nook Color Android Development] Tool Belt:
I must have done something wrong. I rooted with the second iteration of MN, did the market fix and did the ad-hoc switching . With the exception of the Market being a little laggy on downloads everything works fine. What an I missing with the more recent versions of MN?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
You mean you used 4.5.2? You can check the OP for the changes, but the market stuff depends on what you are downloading I think.
[Nook Color Android Development] beezy69:
.....Anyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] FreeMan2012:
I really don't think the manual root is any more complicated than the autonooter would have been. My biggest problem was getting my SD card set up properly to be bootable, and I'd have had that issue either way. Once I figured that out, it was about a 5-10 minute process to do it manually.

I'd run with it now so you can play with your NC and get any issues worked out before you leave.
[Nook Color Android Development] ROB281:
nevermind this morning I remembered that I didn't make a nand copy so I tried to boot into recovery, it kept hanging up on the nook color screen.

then it dawned on me that I had a bootable cwr, but did not flash one to the nc so I tried to reboot hung on the nook color screen again

so I did the 8 failed boots, and am now back to stock

I'm going to go through the steps again, except make sure I flash a recovery image with rom manager this time, am I correct thinking that was the cause of my problems?

Animation in Kids Book? (Not page animation)

In The Twelve Hidden Days of Christmas, each page has an icon to touch and then it starts a short animation.

This does not work now, any ideas?

(I posted this once and saw no comments - is this the proper place for such a post)?
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Since you have to make a bootable CWM sd card with MN, consider using CWM from the sd card. In doing so, you avoid all sorts of boot looping problems etc. In addition, you have a backup nandroid on an external device.

Of course to each his own. I always try to avoid having the backup utility reside on the device being backup/restored.
[Nook Color Android Development] mtnguy:
Same here ... tried ALL the 'fixes' and have yet to get the Market working correctly. Using Phiremod 6.2 now and EVERYTHING works that I've thrown against it.

Not a full solution but one piece of software I found that will at least help you with the whole Dropbx --> Nook Books Folder (I do the same for pdf's I want to read offline) is Titanium Media Sync - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.MediaSync&feature=search_result
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
I'm a bit confused by something in the first post of this thread where it says "emmc CWM Recovery Installed" :

""Before you begin:

•To update to 1.2 you must do a complete wipe.

•You must update to 1.2 to use ManualNooter Instructions Here.

1.You must already have a registered NOOKcolor

2.You must have a Google Account, for Gmail, Market, Etc. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.

3.CWM Bootable from SD Card: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987735 - You should use CWM 3.0.2.8

•OR emmc CWM Recovery Installed""

and then later on:

"Complete Wipe:

1.8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system

2.Factory Reset > Wipes /data

•This will not work if you're using emmc Clockwork Mod Recovery

•You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor"

So, if you have emmc CWR, the complete wipe wouldn't work?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
From now on if your having an issue here's the format that needs to be used:

Rooted with: ManualNooter 4.x.x

Kernel:

Additional Mods (includes wifi adhoc, etc):

Then list the problem you're having. The faster we have information about your setup the faster someone can see about helping.

There's an entire two file change in 4.5.18 from 4.5.6 if your Wifi Adhoc w/e worked on 4.5.6 but doesn't on the update means something else is going wrong, perhaps some settings got changed around the same time you updated. Otherwise if you could use ADB or something to logcat when you try to connect perhaps someone can actually look into it.

Also all update fixes for market are in the last two versions of MN. IF you're not using at least 4.5.6 then don't ***** when you get "Download Unsuccessful" also don't ***** if you get "Unknown Reason -18" because you decided the OP was too long for your liking and you just couldn't stand to read through it all, there is a current work around for Unknown Reason -18 and I'm currently watching the Kernel that fixes this to make sure it's stable enough for MN release. This will address all market issues with the old market.

Until someone can find out why the signature checking for 1.2 and Gapps is apparently so strict and or a way to work around it there's NOTHING that can be done to get Newer Market working all nice and perfect (without FCs and such) along with Network Location or Calendar syncing, short of grabbing sets of apps and trying them and hoping like hell you find a set that works.

Kids Books issues are addressed with 4.5.18 so if you're not using at least 4.5.18 I don't want to hear *****ing from this post on about how they're broken. They were broken the entire time in MN and it was just brought up as soon as I got a replacement SD Card and reader I immediately released an update for MN that addressed this problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you install CWR you're removing the stock recovery system, which means that the stock methods for a complete wipe will not work. You'll have to use something like Nemith's 1.2 update image to flash back to stock.

Not likely as from what I can tell the new "App Drawer" available in stock only shows apps that the B&N servers tell it to, which is basically all Apps you "Own" through B&N.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Try using 3.0.1.0... if you ever used 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.1.0 it may have changed system to ext3 or ext4... may cause your issues.... would try 3.0.1.0 and see if it doesn't work for you.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
He never claimed it, per se, but I know that it works. I have two NCs. One on 1.01 and one on 1.1. The first I did with AN2.25 and the book icon suffers from the home launcher deal. And, although I never personally tried it, I am told that in-store access didn't work with that version either. I've read a ton of reports that this is the case.

When I got the 2nd NC (new), it came with 1.1 on it already and I went the GMPOWER/3.0.0 route. Not only does the book icon now work perfectly, but I have also personally been in-store with it and it worked great there as well. Quite a few people have verified this functionality, actually.

I *thought* I recalled someone commenting on why his worked and the original AN didn't but haven't located that comment again. I did post on that thread and ask if anyone remembered why this was the case and could comment and pass it on to see if maybe you could incorporate it in the work you're doing (thank you so much, by the way!)

In the meantime, do you think it's possible that I did something different with my configuration that allows the book icon to work? I thought I had both nooks setup the same way.

So, if I get something substantial I will definitely forward it along, but I wanted you guys to be aware that both in-store and the book icon were working fine on rooted 1.1 so that it could hopefully help you out in some way.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
I did use 3.0.0.6 once, maybe that is the problem. I will try using 3.1.0.0
[Nook Color Android Development] Masterface7:
I can second that the resume reading button in the notification bar only worked properly on 1.1. After autonootering I never once went back to the BN home screen. I would get at my books from the 'library' shortcut and the open book button in the bottom bar always brought me back to the nookcolor reader. I am quite sure of this, I use my nook color primarily for reading and i was pretty upset when that button didn't work in 1.0 and 1.01 rooted, and i didn't like leaving the BN home open, using ram.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I suppose the Reading Now button could of been fixed with a hack framework.jar. But I'm trying to stay away from any modifications (If possible) that require modifying things like the framework.jar this way MN (and later AN if I get it working) can be used across multiple BN Updates this way once things are more stable it'll only have to be update on occasion for apps, Gapps, new features, as opposed to having to update every single time BN decides they want to change the version number of their firmware.

An alternate method might be finding out what exactly is triggered by B&N Home and then putting the same sort of trigger into SoftKeys, this would in theory allow the same effect as the B&N Home Launcher and as long as Softkeys was your default home for your NC you'd be able to use the reading button.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
I just tried it using 3.1.0.0 and still getting the same thing. Installation aborted. The only thing I can think of is I am on a mac and when I download a zip file it automatically unzips it. I then re-zipped it and moved it to the sd card. Could this be the problem?
[Nook Color Android Development] davidukfl:
It'd be sweet to have the book button work again. Only reason being is my wife does a lot of reading so it'd be cool if it worked. It always worked fine on the old eclair rom so i wonder what they changed with froyo
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
I suppose it could be if you're mac is hiding any files... or something like that... other than that... I wouldn't think it would be an issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It's not signed or anything and as long as everything from the zip is getting into the new zip there's no reason it shouldn't work. Make sure signature verification is disabled.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bobioden:
How do I disable signature verification?

Here is a snapshot of what is on the SD card
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
When you go to select your update file there should be on like the second or third menu (don't know which I'm a bit tired) two toggles one is "toggle signature verification" and the other is something about scripts, make sure both are disabled and try it then. If that doesn't fix it there may be something missing from the update.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
When I download a zip file on my Mac (OS X 10.6.7), a popup asks if I want to open with an application (which can be choosed) or save the file. It also has a box asking if I want to do this automatically in the future. If you don't choose that, it will continue to ask and if you save the file it won't be unzipped. You can always unzip a file by double-clicking on the file's icon.

Hey all, Thank you so much. This is all I needed to finish off my Nook. So far everything works (save for live wallpapers) as expected. The exception... Aldiko still will not install without removing sd card. And, Market will not install without sd card. I assume this affects other installs too. I am having no trouble finding apps, but I flashed over HamnCheese's SU etc. All my installed apps were there and no reboots yet. The other odd thing is IMDB crashes on open (it did this on the SU as well). I wonder if that is an IME thing.

Thanks again. Will report when there is more to report.

P.S. I am reading Outdoor Photography in Zinio. It looks nice but not as slick as the BN reader, but they have tons more magazines.
