Although this makes sense, on my Nook I have both B&n and Android markets working just fine. My build.prop is set to HTC Vision, Netflix works, Appbrain sees it as a T-Mobile G2.

I had an update from B&N market for Pulse last week, the B&N store works fine, I also purchased a Nook Book and it was delivered with no issues.

While typing this I was able to download and install Tikatok from the B&N market and it installed and is working fine. (didn't even want the app). Grisly Manner also works fine.

I'm not sure how I managed it, but all works great.

Stock 1.2 with CWM internal, no bootable SD needed.

Registered and installed all B&N apps and Books

Found that not installing the apps first causes not enough storage later, so install them first.

MN 4.6.16 upgraded from previous version.

Dalingrin's OC kernel [6/18/11]
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Odd, when I had the netflix hack on mine the B&N Market showed there been 100+ apps but that it was completely empty at the same time.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Just an FYI... all you have to do is put the two line hack at the beginning of the build.prop... then if you want to change it back... just comment the lines out.

There is no reason to delete or modify any of the original lines in the file.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Applied MN 6-16 (slightly modified) over the 5-6 version yesterday with no issues whatsoever. I had modified it to include the fingerprint update and I also added an extra script to include the OTA block via sqllite. This might be something you want to consider including just as a matter of course, since it doesn't hurt anything and it actually does seem to work well for blocking the OTA update.

GD - I noticed that the MN script still says it's the 5-25 version. Maybe uplift that when you get around to the next change.

I also then applied Dalingrin's OC kernel and used his Nook Tweaks app and that all worked fantastic (used it mainly to increase the sound) and it even seemed to help battery life as well. For those who don't know, Dal's kernel not only includes overclocking, it also allows you to tweak the sound, in addition to fixing the market download issue that GMPOWER fixed for MN. I don't know if the MN version has this, but Dal's kernel also fixes the problem where you can't hit the exact damned pixel necessary to search the market in the top right of the screen.

So, in all, the latest update all went well, no issues at all and everything is running butter smooth now.

Is anyone interested in the sql OTA block I added? GD - would you want to include it in the next update? If anyone wants, I'll post it up. It's short but sweet.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I don't really like the idea of blocking updates but I guess it wouldn't hurt to post it here for others and I could probably just drop it in the next update and actually remember to change the version this time .-.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Hey DizzyDen, your are my problem solver. Great work on the IMEI number. You 1.2 rooted users should look at installing. It makes apps like XDA and HBO Go work as they were intended.

Now for a 1.2 question. I installed Dal's 06/18/11 kernel here and over at CM7 SDcard nightly 108. Appropriate one's for each system. Here with default movie app, mp4 file, Nooks Tweaks volume was bad. Nightly 108 seems fine everywhere. Here, I had made an Nandroid backup with his prior kernel and Nooks Tweaks, upon clearing the two cache everything was back to normal.

Do you or anybody over here have a suggestion with 06/18/11 kernel what I should try next?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Let me play with it a little on 1.2 MN'd and I'll see what I can come up with.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Vision works for me like Flyer does, everything works but Grisly Manor. Are you only setting product.model and product.manufacturer?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Curious, which Vision app? bp
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Not a vision app... HTC Vision build.prop edit
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
build.prop & Netflix

This is driving me nuts! When will I learn to leave well enough alone? Probably never! Anyway, after changing my build.prop to HTC Vision and seeing that Netflix worked, but Grisly Manor didn't, I decided to change it back to Flyer last night. I left my NC unplugged all night (which I do quite regularly) and woke up to find the battery completely drained! I don't know what sucked it up. Then, after charging it, I went to play Netflix, and I got the black screen!

My NC was working 100% perfectly (except for Grisly Manor) until I decided that I wanted to get Grisly Manor working and thus re-rooted it. I still have no idea why Grisly Manor says "unsupported device" when I try to run it. I'm still wondering if folks are changing more than just the product model and manufacturer in the build.prop. I'm going to play around some more and I'll post if I find out anything conclusive.

UPDATE:

The only other thing I had changed was the fingerprint in my build.prop. I decided to change it back to the zoom2 stuff instead of the Samsung GT-1000 stuff. Netflix worked the first time I fired it up, but subsequent times I get sound, but a black screen (no video). Even if I kill and restart its process, it still comes up with a black screen. I reboot again and Netflix is working again. Do some other stuff and fire up Netflix again, and black screen. Soooo, it's not the fingerprint. I can live with having to reboot to watch a Netflix movie, but its behavior is puzzling. I have also discovered that if I kill the Netflix process using NookColor Tools instead of TaskXP, Netflix works every time.

Folders on the Home Screen

Something else that has been bothering me for a bit is not being able to have folders on the home screen (ADW, Zeam, etc.). I may be doing something wrong, but from what I've gathered online, it seems to be a known NC issue. Enter SiMi Folder Widget. It works great for me and I now have working folders on my ADW home screen. Market wouldn't show it to me (I assume because my "device" isn't supported), but it is downloadable. Just do a Google search on "simi folder widget apk" and the first link contains a download link.

Market Issue after 4.6.16

Rooted with: ManualNooter 4.6.16

Kernel: Not modded

Additional Mods (includes wifi adhoc, etc): None

Everything was working great after rooting with 4.5.25.

When I upgraded to 4.6.16, Market apps would download, but seems like it would never install.

There would be no notification that it was installing, and the Market listing still gives me the option to install.

Thanks in advanced.

which OC kernel to use?

:confused: Which overclock kernel is used with MN 4.6.16?

I flashed "update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-061811.zip" to my NC 1.2 and resulted in bootloops.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
I think you mean which overclock kernel should you use, because MN has a kernel fix, but no overclocking.

Dalingrin's kernel includes the same fix that the MN and some other stuff.

There is no other relation between them though. You used the right kernel - the same one I just used myself.

So you did the right stuff, but why you are getting boot loops, I don't know.

Root Explorer FC

Anyone else having trouble with Root Explorer beyond version 2.14 when it comes to tapping on .apk files? It FCs every time I tap on one. I downgraded to v2.14 and the problem went away. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest and it still didn't work. Downgraded again to v2.14 and I'm golden again. Just wondering if it's something on my NC or if everyone is experiencing it above v2.14.

[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Same here, no problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] bikercr:
I've had the very same problem with dalingrin--boot loops and weird splash screen actions while booting. I've had excellent luck with the other OC for v1.2; sugwacee's.

Unfortunately, the links are currently broken.
[Nook Color Android Development] semperlux:
Ah, yes. Thats exactly what i saw. The splash screen would not complete its cycle and then repeat that. I ended up flashing 1.2 stock again and starting from scratch. I'll check out sugwacee. I saw that as an option and didnt know what the difference was. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
My volume error with update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-061811.zip started occurring in Dal's previous kernel as well.

I found that when I played with Nook Tweaks, sliding things off and back on, going back to previous screens and then readjusting the volume tweeks started working again.

I reinstall update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-061811.zip and used the tweeks with volume successfully.
[Nook Color Android Development] morganpe:
I have been lurking for awhile - Had done the auto nooter without trouble several months ago but was a little leary about updating the stock then doing the MN.

I can report that everything went smoothly and all is well.

Thanks to all of you that are making this possible!

PS: IMDB works after I installed - Fake GPS.
[Nook Color Android Development] rlkelley:
Where to go from here....

So I have successfully rooted using the most recent version of MN. I plan to go today to see if I still have access to B&N in-store functionality, which I will report on here, since no one seems to have (or my search terms are not working).

In order to install Dalingrin's OC kernal, do I flash it on top of MN or did I do this in the wrong order?

Right now I get the select launcher dialogue every time I hit the 'n' key. Is it best to leave it this way, or is on of the launcher options better than the others?

Seeing as I appear to have full market access (did nothing special to get it) are there any other steps I need to take to optimize my usage? I am unclear on the flash status since the most recent release of MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Care to share Fake GPS version that installs and works on NC?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I am in the b&n right now. I modified the host file to block their updates to my nook. It looks like it blocks read in store as well. I am on there automatic b&n network. Store model shows read in store. My shows samplr.
[Nook Color Android Development] morganpe:
It is called: Fake GPS location

Creator: Lexa

Version: 1.35

It doesn't correct the Location issue for Google Maps but IMDB (internet Movie Data Base) didn't work until I installed this.
[Nook Color Android Development] rlkelley:
So there is no in store reading...

So I just got back from my nearest B&N. The store models all had read in store access, but I did not.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
I know how it's called. The problem is, it doesn't show on the market, the appbrain link leads to nothing and non-market apk of Fake GPS install attempt fails(other apk's do install fine).

How exactly did you installed this app?
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
BN in-store functionality does work but is spotty. In this thred there are reports that you have to reboot a few times in order to get in store access.
[Nook Color Android Development] semperlux:
Yes, agreed. I got it to work but required one reboot. There must be something in the stock B&N kernel that enables certain functions in the reader. For some time, I could not set up my social networking until I walked into the store and used B&N's wlan :cool: just a thought.
[Nook Color Android Development] semperlux:
Does anyone know if MN 4.6.16 (any for that matter) enables the NC's accelerometer? I know CM7 does but I don't want to have to revert to that.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Uhm Enable? It works by default... like when it goes into landscape mode when you rotate it...
[Nook Color Android Development] semperlux:
That's what I thought as well until I tested some games and a bubble level that didn't respond to the accelerometer. I don't know how some of these programs are designed so there's that too.
[Nook Color Android Development] morganpe:
Hmmmm... I did not do anything special. I did the market enable steps in the first post.

Typed Fake GPS into the search area of the Android Market (on the nook)

It gave 4 programs - Fake GPS location; Fake GPS Location Donate; CatchMeIfUCan - fake location; My Fake Location. I selected the first option and it installed.

Wish I could tell you I did something special but I didn't.

I didn't change the any build props, kernels or anything else. Went from Stock 1.1 --> Stock 1.2 then Manual Nooter 4.6.16.

Wish I could be more helpful. - Good Luck
[Nook Color Android Development] framitz:
I didn't see it in the Market either... So I tried my phone and there it was. I installed on phone, backed it up, copied the backup to PC, then to Nook and installed.

Easier than it sounds.

Once I had it installed, I used Titanium backup to link it to the market (not needed, but now I see it as installed)
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
I assume you've done the Market visibility fix in the OP? If so, then you can always do a Google search for "FakeGPS apk download" and grab it directly from a site like this.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Yes, it's visible on the market now, but installation fails(every other app I've tried installs fine). Error says it's missing shared library. Non-market apk install of this app fails as well.

This is so F-up :D
[Nook Color Android Development] mtnguy:
There is a message in this area (somewhere) that shows you how to get the error resolved. However, you still won't get Google Maps to show your location. Apparently other apps that use 'location' work though.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bill R:
I have an interesting issue. Whenever I tap+hold on the desktop to add a shortcut or a folder, it takes me back to the previous application that was opened. Action and Widget however work as expected.

Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
To my knowledge this is a known issue with the NC and apparently any of the launcher apps. (Zeam, ADW, etc.). I made a post here about an app. that gets around this problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
That fix is here I believe.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bill R:
Actually I finally loaded Go Launcher and it works just fine. The only problem with Go is it doesn't handle the bottom status bar too well so part of the Go bottom row is cut off. But you can still use the buttons.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
I don't see any folders on the Home Screen in that screen shot, but Go Launcher actually worked in letting you put folders there?
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Forgot about this...

Anyway, I added a few lines to the updater-script:

#this block was already here
ui_print("Applying Database Null Fix...");
package_extract_file("tmp/sqlite3", "/tmp/sqlite3");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/sqlite3");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/scripts/database.sh");
run_program("/tmp/scripts/database.sh");

#so I added this block right after it
ui_print("Applying OTA Block...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/scripts/otablock.sh");
run_program("/tmp/scripts/otablock.sh");

Then I dropped the attached 'otablock' script into tmp/scripts rezipped and everything ran perfect.

For convenience, I included the updater-script (with changed version to 6-16) that has the lines to call the otablock script and the corrected buildprop script as well. You can just drop these into MN 4.6.16 where they belong and they will all work.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bill R:
Actually no. But I was just trying to get desktop app icons. After reading your question, I tried folder creation and it's a no go still.

Odd problems with 4.6.16 solved

I tried to install the dual boot system on my nook and fouled it up because I misread an instruction. I then tried to go back to stock and re-root. I got a host of odd problems including most of the ones listed here such as the B&N shop app no working, boot loops, spontaneous rebooting, market force closes, market downloads that don't happen or don't install.

In desperation, I booted to recover, formatted /data, /system, and /emmc. Then I installed the 1.2 flashable update and nootered again. Now everything works except I haven't tried to go to a B&N to test in store reading.

While I don't think this is a good first choice to fix problems, I offer it as an example of something that works.

Some of us have had problems with the Dalingrin kernel--mainly boot looping and other weirdness.
[Nook Color Android Development] eejimen:
On the same topic - My recent experience.

Problem - Market force closes after MN 4.6.16

History

I got my wife a nookColor for Christmas and instantly AutoNootered. When 1.2 came out, I was an early adopter of Manual Nooter. I followed the instructions and successfully got everything working correctly except calender syncing. Not a big deal so left it alone.

All was good until flash tried to update itself last week and put the NC into the death boot loop. Since CWR is loaded on the EMMC, I did several hard resets until NC booted into recovery. Restored a previous backup and NC back up and running including market.

To prevent boot loop in the future, I updated Flash to 10.3 and applied MN 4.6.16. Applying 4.6.16 caused the market crash. Market kept crashing even after doing the fix in OP and clearing Davlik cache. Also tried applying installing a differant version of Vendor.apk but that didn't work either. I decided to try one last thing before restoring from previous back up.

Market Force Close Fix:

Using a combination of market fix in OP and Flash 10.3 fix, I got market running.

1. rename Vendor.apk in folder /system/app to Vendor.apk.old

2. reboot into recovery - clear Davlik cache - restart system

3. rename Vendor.apk.old in folder /system/app to Vendor.apk

4. reboot

5. start market and accept license agreement.

6. at error message tap 'OK'

7. reboot

8. start market - PROBLEM SOLVED.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Why does flash try to update? On my NC with MN, market does not show Flash - so it doesn't update. Flash was include in MN so flash does work.

There must be some sequence that causes flash to be installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] eejimen:
I say Flash but I can't be 100% positive. My wife was using the nook and it rebooted on its own and then went straight to boot loop. I assume Flash because that seems to be the root cause of boot loop or the OC kernel. I hadn't upgraded the kernel. I also use Appbrain and it recognized Flash 10.1 loaded.

:D : Thank to all for making such a great tool
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
This worked. Everything is running well even the Market. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] eejimen:
Why?

What version of Flash?

I'm curious, if I should just start over. How can I check MN 4.6.16 installed correctly.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Flash is NOT included in any version of MN. If you were using any version of MN before 4.5.25, there was a chance that flash would automatically update itself if you did not manually go uncheck auto-update. The problem that you were experiencing with the market after updating to 4.6.16 from a pre 4.5.25 version is a common one. Sometimes the system does not change over to the new market properly, and you took the appropriate steps to force the new market to change over. If everything is working correctly, then no further steps need to be taken at this time. Calendar sync was fixed in all versions starting with 4.5.25, so you can check if that is working.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Just to cut down on potential confusion, the last few posts referring to MN 4.2.25 actually are referring to N 4.5.25. The last two numbers of the MN numbering are the month and day it was released, so there is nothing earlier than 4.4.x (can't remember the first release).
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I made the changes in my post to reflect this.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I think I see what is happening. GMPOWER is correct, MN does not include flash. However, BN1.2 stock does. By following the process I outline in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15176194&postcount=1280 Flash is part the NC with MN4.5.25 but from the stock BN1.2 As a result, Market does not autoupdate flash.

The problems that users see may be how they arrive at a rooted NC 1.2. I think going from BN1.1 updated to BN1.2 and then updating with various versions of MN results in a different rooted NC than going from stock BN1.2 with MN4.5.25.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
Thanks - it was indeed a typo.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
If you following http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15176194&postcount=1280 everything should work.

I avoid using CWM in emmc because of boot looping. Being someone that has experienced backup problems, it is always safer to have the backup software running off of the media that is NOT being backed up.

The first time I used CWM with RomManager, I had boot looping and got stuck at the "n".
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
On the two that I've done, I took them back to stock 1.01 and updated to 1.2 using the B&N update, then I rooted with MN. I've used various versions of MN and not had any issues with flash, even after applying later MN versions over it. I don't think I downloaded any books before MN, but can't recall now.

As far as CWM on emmc - yeah, I'm with you. I can't remember exactly what happened to me now, but having it on there caused me some pain a while ago and I ended up having the same resolution as you afterward - leave it on the sd card.
[Nook Color Android Development] TabletConnect:
I am having problems again. When i went to charge the nook, it started bootlooping. Now it doesnt work as it bootloops at Nook Color screen. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
This may be related to apps or kernels that you have loaded after rooting. Restore from the nandroid (you did backup your NC right?) and then carefully load the apps one at a time and see which ones cause the boot loop.

What apps and kernels did you install?
