Well, I don't think it's the package but the prep. I just took a never-been-rooted-1.2 and did the install. One thing I noted, that's not in the OP is that I got an 'Install Failed' on reboot. I also only had glympse in the market until I did that procedure.

Everything worked perfect for me so far, including Angry Birds Seasons and I even installed it with no sd card in.

One thing I would add though is to stuff HamNCheese's NookHome app in to the ManualNooter. Very nicely completes the functionality.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnny15:
Nice work H-N-C! So do you think the fact that the IMDB app worked on B&N 1.01 AN was because the location was able to be set by wifi?
[Nook Color Android Development] hpark21:
Couple of issues...

Couple of issues.

I put latest manual nooter installed (on top of older manual nooter), but having couple of issues with it.

Market - apps still do not install (not all of them fails, but many do and have to side load it without SD card).

Also, "Now reading" button does not work anymore (it is book like button at the status bar) It does not go anywhere.

I have to go to library and manually open the book from the shelf.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
At what point in the process did the now reading button work for you? I thought it was reported a long time ago that wouldn't work normally. But if the home launcher is running in the background, it will work. That's why HamNCheese's app is nice - you launch it, hit the N button and go back to Zeam and it's in the background and working.

On the other part, I don't think you can just drop any of this on top of the previous MN. I think a complete wipe is necessary. When I look at how hell it seemed to work for me coming from a virgin 1.2, I think that's the case.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
The "Install Failed" use to be mentioned in MN itself but somewhere along the lines after dozens of reflashes of both 1.2 and MN I stopped seeing it and others who ran MN claimed to have never seen it. So it was stripped, there doesn't seem to be anything that indicates that "Failed Install" means anything at all beyond another reboot as when I use to get this MN seemed to have done it's job fine.

We're looking at several apps to hopefully be included in future versions of MN, including an alternative to loading AppLauncher.apk from 1.1 called AppManager (it's in the android market Nook Color App Manager) and HnC's NookHome.

But as of the most recent version of AppManager which we had hoped to release in 4.5.6 there seems to be a couple critical bugs, one being that App Syncing with B&N's servers seems to get broken when this is installed and after uninstalling it.

Could you be more specific as to "many do"? Perhaps a couple that you're trying and the error provided when installing them? (Download Unsuccessful, Unknown Reason -18, etc) if there's a new issue with installing apps we need to know exact details so we can track it down. However if it's Unknown Reason -18 (which applies to installs larger than 15MB from what I can tell) it's a B&N issue and the work around is in the OP.

Reading Now works if B&N Launcher is in the background.

Perhaps you are doing something you're not mentioning because I had no issue upgrading from 4.5.3 (dev release only) to 4.5.6 frameworks installed via 4.5.6 or 4.5.2 are all effectively the same.

It's quite possible because location was set to use Wifi/Network Location IMDB was working on previous versions. NetworkLocation.apk seems to be suffering from the same signature issue that we were seeing with Market, we're busy trying to remedy this issue by finding group of Gapps with the same signatures across all included Gapps.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It should work fine flashed over previously Nootered versions. I updated this from 4.5.3 (Dev only Version) to 4.5.6 with the issues listed as fixed for this updates change actually being fixed for me. I can install just fine from Market with aand without an SDCard, and it doesn't FC on me when I install/uninstall via the Market. There are some outstanding issues still (will update the OP soon) like Network and the such but those have been around the entire time.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Agreed. I simply rebooted and all was copasetic. I thought I had seen at as expected behavior somewhere so I wasn't stressed. I just thought you might want to put it in as note for folks so no one flips out.

All-in-all, I couldn't be happier. Like I said, everything I use is working perfect. Very nice work, all involved.
[Nook Color Android Development] cromanorn:
All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

My NC v1.2 Rooted is awesome.

thanks again!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] skyhawk21:
Do not know if anyone else is seeing this but also with manual nooter 4.5.6 gmail the one that comes with manual nooter is broke it loads up to a blank screen then closes without no warning! UGH
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Dude - I think yours is just kinda whacked. It's working perfect for me. I know GD has installed over top of a previous MN, but I suggest you do a full wipe and start over. I am having absolutely zero issues so far (knocks on wood).
[Nook Color Android Development] jpeg42:
Same thing happened to me upgrading from 4.5.2. Just go into Manage Applications, clear cache and data for gmail. Now it works for me. Hope this helps!
[Nook Color Android Development] billingdl:
Market 2.2.11?

Will you be including Market 2.2.11 in a future MN?
[Nook Color Android Development] skyhawk21:
Clearing the data and cache for gmail fixed the issue, I guess the OP included a new version? thanks for the help! I am also trying to help by reporting issues just like everyone else!
[Nook Color Android Development] azsl1326:
Now that I have upgraded and rooted 1.2, anytime I go to install an App from the Market, I get some sort of message after the installation about moving the App to the SD Card. This didn't happen when using 1.1.

Also, last night I went to install Rock Player and was told there wasn't enough space. I am assuming that this is related to the above issue?

Thanks for any insight.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Could you guys post up your stats/installs?

ie:

1. Did you previously have 1.1 (was it rooted)

2. Did you install 1.2 from the official BN update or the Flashable released here?

3. Are you running 1.2 only or dual booting?

4. Can you play a nook friendly mp4 file without FC?

5. Does Youtube work for you? Does pandora?

I've spent almost 2 days trying to figure out why my install can not play mp4 videos or even youtube videos.

1. Previous 1.1 on the dual boot partitions (but I formatted system and data, then fresh install to try to get video working, no go)

2. Flash 1.2 update for dual boot

3. Nookie Froyo & BN 1.2 Stock

4. When I try to play an mp4 video, such as the included cookbook, it gives me a black screen, then FC if I try tapping the screen

5. Youtube = black screen, pandora no issues

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] hpark21:
Well, it was Unknown Reason (don't know the #). It does download into /cache/downloadnull

Vital player won't install, but Moboplayer will install.

Aldiko won't install, ROM manager will install, same goes SystemPanelLite.

I also noticed that .apks (that failed to install) downloaded into /downloadnull folder can not be read back (or even be copied), it says "invalid apk" - maybe download is failing in the middle?

However, the ones from Amazon market gets downloaded into sdcards can be copied over just fine into the system memory to be sideloaded without SD card present.

BTW, I am using OC kernel. (I don't think behavior has changed at all though compared with original 1.2 kernel).

However, I am still VERY happy with rooted nook color.

Thank you all for all your support!
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Feel free to bake NookHome into MN - the whole idea was to bring the two personalities of the device together.

However, I'd advise against overwriting AppLauncher just yet. There is a better solution for this, which I will be releasing in app form in the next couple of days.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you're still getting a /cache/downloadnull you must not of used 4.5.6 yet. This addresses the null issue on 1.2 devices.

It was even purposely tested on a prerooted device in which the null issue was present to test whether or not it'd clear up the issue with devices that were previously Nooter via previous MN versions.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It'll probably make it into the next version.

Also App Manager doesn't overwrite AppLauncher which is a plus, but with the sync issues it's not currently viable for MN Release.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
It has to be the dual boot stuff that nemith warned about. I flashed BN1.2 from nemith (no cwm on emmc), rooted with 4.5.2. Cookbook shows fine, handbrake videos (using ipod touch profile) shows fine. Youtube and Pandora works. All my apks downloads fine (I have SC card). Market FC once after rooting and then works fine.

My NC never had cmw on emmc. Been burnt to often in having the backup program reside on the devices being backuped.

Have not OC.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
As of Froyo (Android 2.2) Android supports APP2SD which allows someone to move an App to the SD Card to free up space on the internal memory while still allowing you to use the apps. It seems however that moving them via Manage Applications doesn't work.
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Ah, I misread. I thought you were putting AppLauncher 1.1 in.
[Nook Color Android Development] jbuggydroid:
man i really want to stay on stock but having issues with the whole market app install with sd card and titianium backuped and restored apps not working at all. and the whole gotta move non market app to system to get it to install. are these things going to be worked out in the future??

thanks for your hard work
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Hmm no idea what you mean here. Non-market apps work just fine - unless you are referring to the Extras screen (which will be sorted out shortly.) These aren't issues with ManualNooter, BN is (for the lack of a better term) c*ck blocking us.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
If it'll help, here's my info. I still have a 1.01 and a 1.1 rooted that I will eventually upgrade as well.

1. Never-rooted

2. Used official BN update to go from 1.01 to 1.2

3. No dual boot

4. No problems

5. No problems on either
[Nook Color Android Development] hpark21:
Odd..

It was 4.5.6 without a doubt. (I just double checked my SD card to make sure).

I can re-flash if needed.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdewey:
Thanks to all who have worked on this project.

My Nook:

1. CWM and Dual-boot were installed prior to MN

2. Stock 1.2 on the Primary partitions, Honeycomb on the Secondary

3. Apps, including Titanium Backup, were installed on Honeycomb

With this setup already in place, following the last few steps in the MN process was a breeze, went without a hitch. I did have to do the clear steps for the Market, which was no big deal.

Then I began installing apps, including Titanium backup. I used a combination of the Market as well as my Titanium backup to reinstall my apps.

I have only had issues with a few applications which I will outline below. One app that I did install was LauncherPro, as I like the UI it presents, and it went without a hitch at all.

Issues:

1. Titanium backup:

After install it complained about needing USB Debugging turned on, which I did, as well as needing "Unknown Sources" checked which I could not find. I did find something about "Mock" so I set that. Titanium backup still complained, so I rebooted and all has been fine since. With one exception. USB Debugging somehow got turned off over night, does anyone know what would cause this? It is only an annoyance.

2. Barnes and Noble Nook application

I like the way this works, nicer than BN's native "page turner". After restoring from Titanium backup, the install worked, but nothing happens when I try to run the app. I cleared cache and data, did force stop, no change. To be thorough I uninstalled and then reinstalled from the Market. Install went fine, still the same result. Is there anyway/anywhere I can look to find a log that might tell us what is going on? Has anyone else been successful with getting the Nook app to work?

3. Youtube

Like others, this does not work for me. App starts, displays list of videos, then just lays there with an Advertisement that I think should be playing but isn't. No big loss for me.

4. Wyse PocketCloud

This is an important app for me, it is my RDP connection to home. I first tried to install from the Market. App downloaded but did not install, no error given. I then tried to install via adb and got a container failure error. Googled for info, tried a bunch of stuff, none of which worked. Same problem trying to restore from Titanium backup. This morning I reread the 1st post and saw the comment about removing the sdcard. Tried this, the install went flawlessly, PocketCloud is now happy.

All in all pretty amazing, I think. And since I have LauncherPro running, there is no real difference for me now between the rooted 1.2 and my Honeycomb installation.

I'll update with any further app issues, but so far, so very good.

Thanks,
[Nook Color Android Development] mutant13:
1. 1.0.1 rooted OC'ed 1.1g

2. did factory reset through CW,then 8 failed reboots, flashed stock 1.0.1(which removes CWR), then installed 1.2 from B&N web site

3. 1.2 rooted emmc only

4. I use Rockplayer, it has played every video I have so far.(mostly AVI)

5. you tube works GREAT !!!... I have posted before all flash web sites work for me, soooo ..... apks like TV show Stream work for me.

hope this helps.... I basically wiped everything before moving to 1.2 and I had all my apks pulled from either my evo or my 1.0.1 set up and stored on my computer ... I then side loaded, I have also used appplant to update some apps if market was giving me trouble... :)
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Upgraded to 4.5.6. Youtbe works fine. At BN store. No in store features. Not a big deal for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] tiltlover:
Thank you, it works now after I reboot as you suggested.
[Nook Color Android Development] schtuka:
It's been just over one week since I bought my Nook and every implementation has been what it supposed to be exactly as described by OPs or devs. With exactly same symptoms and results. I have installed MN over previous version from 4.27 to the latest without fresh stock install. Installed overclocked kernel without a single glitch and installed AppLauncher from 1.1, AppWidgetPicker and all most popular paid launchers and everything works as described. Provided that I do not play Angry Birds or watch MP4 movies Market, You tube works fine.

The only thing different is that I used 1.2 update from correct dual boot thread that supposed to keep CWM.

Thank you guys.
[Nook Color Android Development] ghoticov:
First, thank you to the OP for this!

I was on 1.0.1 rooted. I reverted back to stock 1.0.1 and updated to 1.2 manually. I then ran MN 4.5.6 and went really smooth.

My issue now is I cannot get things to show up in the Market. I have read this whole thread (yes, all 50+ pages) and couldnt not find the solution. I was able to flash the 1.1 overclock kernel but have no way to manage it because I cannot d/l setcpu or droid overclock from the market, it doesn't find it. It also doesn't find simple apps like facebook.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to side load all these apks? Thanks!

EDIT: NEVERMIND... I'm an idiot. lol It's amazing what happens when you don't accidently skip part of the directions. :/
[Nook Color Android Development] jpeg42:
Did you follow all the steps of the market visibility workaround in the OP?
[Nook Color Android Development] ghoticov:
Yea, I tried to Force Close the Market and Clear Cache. There was no where for me to click "ok" after so I just restarted the Nook and I am still having the same problem.

[Nook Color Android Development] schtuka:
Yay, status bar book button works with ADW EX.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdewey:
More info on my YouTube issue. Given that others are reporting the infamous "no problems here" messages regarding YouTube, I decided to try a couple of things. First I did a Clear Cache, Clear Data and Force Close, no change at all. Then I decided to try to uninstall YouTube, and found that Manage Applications would not do this, so I did an uninstall with Titanium Backup. Then I reinstalled from the Market. End result is that I can now get 1 video to play. When I try a second one, nothing happens, but I do notice a performance issue. If I go through the Clear Cache, Clear Data an reboot, I can once again get 1 and only 1 to play.

Any ideas on what might be going on? Maybe something else I need to clear?

Thanks,
[Nook Color Android Development] hpark21:
Could you elaborate what ADW EX. stands for?

Sorry.
[Nook Color Android Development] schtuka:
It stands for ADW launcher EX paid. Perhaps it would work in free version, but I paid Anderwebs in support so do not know about free version.
[Nook Color Android Development] SoFresh99:
Youtube and old market work fine, MP4s play fine I just converted a ton of kids stuff for a trip. I use handbrake at 854x480 h.264 baseline 1200kbs. They worked fine on my 2gb and 16gb class 6 card.

I had mine autonootered 1.0.1, CWM installed, overclocked with setCPU. I removed CWM from the emmc and then used a CWM boot disk to flash back to stock 1.01 and downloaded the 1.2 update from B&N. I let it install and then ran MN 4.5.28 flashed onto the same CWM bootdisk I had used to downgrade. Worked fine and I followed the data/cache clearing instructions and all is well.

As with my first rooting I could not sideload and install APKs and had to change the DB via ADB to get this to work.

My Nook boots really slowly now though, FWIW and the screen seems much less responsive.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Wanted to report that instore access works perfect. Ran my 4.5.6 nootered nook by B&N and it picked right up. Even grabbed a free hour book.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
This must be due to how the NC is configured. Based on your prior post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13559422&postcount=516 you did

"1. Never-rooted

2. Used official BN update to go from 1.01 to 1.2

3. No dual boot

4. No problems

5. No problems on either"

I used the restored to BN1.2 found on this forum.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Need some more info.

How did you get to stock BN1.2?

Is CWM on emmc?

Are you dual booting?

Can you play 5-10minutes with Pandora? If Pandora can't play continuously then it's a wifi problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Here's why this shows up...

If you boot to CMR using a bootable SD Card and you *do not* have CMR flashed to the rom, you will get the "Install Failed" message after rebooting. You can get this even by just doing a backup (no install actually happening).

Once you flash the rom from Rom Manager, you no longer get this message after using bootable sd/reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdewey:
1. Got to stock by just letting the "boot" process happen. The version of dual boot I am using is the u-boot.bin from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962708. It gives a 5 second wait to allow a key press which they goes into a menu. I have left the default to boot from the first partition, just as if that is all there is.

2. Yes, CWM is on the emmc.

3. Yes, I am dual-booting.

4. I will test Pandora again, but last I tried I think it played at least 5 minutes. I am using the same Wi-Fi from the laptop I am currently on, and have seen no issues here. I'll test Pandora again just to be sure.

Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. If there are logs I can find, or some way to log the event, just point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

FakeGPS

Just a quick note, FakeGPS seems to make IMDB work...
[Nook Color Android Development] bdewey:
Just confirmed that Pandora runs without any problems at all. I also tried YouTube again, got the same result. First one plays fine, then nothing else. This time though I just powered down and rebooted, the first video then plays again, no need to clear cache and data. I then decided to try using the YouTube site through the browser, this works just fine, which would indicate to me that this is not a Wi-Fi issue. When I start a video via the Browser I get a dialog as to which program I want to use, the Browser or YouTube. When I choose Browser everything works OK. If I choose YouTube, the first time it will work, but no more. I can still view in the Browser.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Hrm... I only have the Bootable SDCard and somewhere along multiple flashes of MN "Install Failed" just stopped happening. I knew why it appeared, I just don't honestly know what stopped making it appear on mine.
[Nook Color Android Development] HTCF4N:
Thanks everyone for your reports and feedback. From my own experience and what's reported here, I have some theories about our issues with video and YouTube in general:

1. Dual booting is NOT an issue. If you're noob enough to think that a correctly dual booted working android install has video problems because of dual booting, you don't know how file systems work.

2. Most people who has no problems with Youtube app video playback seemed to have installed BN 1.2 on top of an existing 1.01 install and that might be somehow related to success.

3. Our video issues has to do with h. 264 hardware accelerated decoding since Flash works fine. I can confirm the above post. If we play YouTube videos from the browser it seems to work fine. This is also seen if you try to run a quadrant basics bench. For those with the YouTube issues you will get stuck on the cpu h.264 decoding test.

4. I have had mp4 videos work once and fail issue as well. It usually works again briefly after a fresh reboot. This suggests that the video library is broken somehow after a run. I've also experience this while running Nookie Froyo which causes hw decoded videos to only work in a squeezed portrait mode or entirely break and not work. On a windows OS this is usually driver related and a reboot restores it but a driver update would fix it. Thus, this issue might be inherent in the Froyo base because I had no such issues running CM7 (albeit other issues). It could also be hardware related since some nooks seem to run without a hitch. Maybe over heating of the SGx530 core of maybe not enough voltage for intensive hw decoding? After all it is designed to be an ereader... but we would beg to differ. :-P

[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
When I do my others, I think I'll do a complete wipe and use the official update vs the flash/zip. I'm not sure if that's the magic or not, but I'll try and find out.
