[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I can comment on this issue, the framework.jar file that was used in AN 2.25, and earlier, was all hacked up from its original form. If you do a file by file comparison of it to the original file, you will see that a ton of files were changed that were not needed. When I put together the AN 3.0, the only hack that I did to the framework.jar file was to add the Clockworx Not Ugly Market Fix. Since I did not hack up the framework file like early versions had, the random reboot issues, in-store access, and everything else worked like stock.

I did not come to thread crap or anything else, I just wanted to comment on this one issue. I want to thank GabrialDestuir for putting this together, keep up the good work.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Ah.

That explains that, no hacks though to get the reading button to work or anything?

I noticed it doesn't work on 1.2 which has no hacks to any parts of framework.jar so was there something else changed with 3?
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
I didn't edit the file, it still shows '0x2080' from the original .ini that was unzipped from the Windows_adb_usb_dot_android.zip file. Under Device Manager, I have my NC listed 'Android Phone >>> Android ADB Interface' there. No idea why it isn't listing the NC after the 'adb devices' command. I have even turned off/on USB debugging again to be sure that it is enabled and I reinstalled the drivers once more as well. Nothing. I on a Win7 machine so is there anything else that I may have missed?

[Nook Color Android Development] johnny15:
Did you uninstall the driver under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section of the device manager as well? I think in total, it installs the driver in 3 places.
[Nook Color Android Development] mutant13:
Rockplayer and TV Show Stream have perfect A/V sync now with froyo 32kernel.... with eclair and 29kernel they did not...:)
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
No, nothing else was changed. People need to understand that the update to Froyo does not mean that all the work done in the past will just transfer over.

Google changed how a lot of stuff works, including the market in Froyo. B&N made changes to combat what we are doing over here, like our apps not showing up in the app drawer. It is almost like starting all over again just to get access to everything that we had before the update. We don't get the privilege of early roms leaks to work on, and get everything worked out before the final update goes out to everyone.

B&N really should not be too concerned with people hacking the NC, from my records 67,179 unique IP’s have downloaded AN v3. At the start of April, reports online pointed to 3 million NC have been sold. If only 100,000 people have hacked their NC, it is too small of a percentage for B&N to really care about.

Just updated from 4.5.6 to 4.5.18 and install dalingrin's OC module. Everything works fine as posted in OP. I did the following:

copy MN to SD card

boot SD, created nandroid backup

installed from zip MN 4.5.18

rebooted

shutdown and rebooted from SD card

installed from zip update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-2.6.32-emmc-051311

Everything screams with OC. Thanks for your efforts.
[Nook Color Android Development] do_9999:
That's odd. They always show up for me. Are u on the latest MN?
[Nook Color Android Development] thebriand:
Stuck

I ran MN and all was well. After I did the market fix, it got stuck on reboot. Now after the n screen it spells out nook color, then it flashes and tries to spell it again, only it spells "nook co". It just keeps flashing and repeating that. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] do_9999:
I would go back in to clockwork and wipe caches. If it still wont boot start over with MN. If u have a nandroid backup just revert to it and retry market fix. Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Android Development] thebriand:
I didn't want to wipe, but I did it. It booted. I rooted. Market fixed. Same result. I went through it again. Now I'm up and running without the market fix. May have to call it good enough.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
There's no reason that running that market fix should cause this issue... the only time I saw this issue was after I tried to upgrade my flash.
[Nook Color Android Development] thebriand:
That's interesting. Flash updates automatically when I boot after rooting. I just rebooted and it hung up without the market fix. Nice catch. How did you update your flash?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I Just Didn't.
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I currently have a fully working version, I just need to iron out the last couple location based issues. I have fixed the Calendar syncing issue, and have a working newer market. I just need to spend some more time with the market to make sure that it is working 100%. The market currently updates adobe flash to 10.3 and adobe air just fine.

I would say that within the next week I will have a fully working update to release to you. I do my testing from a fresh install every time, so once I get the location issues ironed out, I will work on making a update that can be flashed over the current work without having to do a fresh install. I will release too you two versions, one with the IMEI fix and one without, this will give people the option of what one they want.

My current build is based off of the 4.5.6 release, could you tell me what changes were made between that release and the current one, so that I can make the proper changes for an update.

To the people that are having market visibility issues, the best way that I have found to work is does not include any "Force Stop":

1.	Start Nook Color Tools

2.	Select the “All Settings” button

3.	Choose “Manage Applications” from the list

4.	Select the “All” tab

5.	Scroll down to “Market” and select it.

6.	Tap “Clear cache”

7.	Tab the Back button

8.	Scroll up to “Google Services Framework” and select it

9.	Tap “Clear data”

10.	Tap “OK”

11.	Press the n button to return to your launcher

12.	Hold your power button to turn off the NC

13.	Turn your NC back on and give it a moment to find your wifi connection

14.	Open up Gmail

15.	Select the menu button

16.	Press “Refresh”

17.	Look to see if sync icon showed up next to the battery icon

18.	If it did not then press “Refresh” again

19.	Exit Gmail

20.	Open Youtube

21.	Press the menu button

22.	Select “My Channel”

23.	Once your channel opens up go start the Market

This method has worked for me every time, if it does not, then you have other problems going on in your system.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
GMPOWER - does your fix also include "Contacts" syncing?
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I know that there is a check box for it, but I did not check the function of it. The NC in stock form can sync contacts with Google by going to “settings” and then “social”. I will get back to you in the morning on the function it.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you could just release the Gapps used/mods needed to get it working I can add them to the newest MN.

Also, broken IMEI issues should be fixed in the apps, not the system, as in they shouldn't be force closing at the lack of a proper IMEI, as more devices are lacking a IMEI have access to the market.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Contacts syncing has never been an issue. They have always synced just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
I see GD responded about the rest, but FWIW, the only changes between 4.5.6 and 4.5.18 were to add NookHome and to replace /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml with the one from the 1.2 B&N Update. That file didn't actually need to be changed and the only reason it is in 4.5.18 is to undo the change from previous MN. The one in 4.5.6 is missing the line:

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" />
[Nook Color Android Development] ROB281:
I reinstalled, and it appears to be sticking this time.
[Nook Color Android Development] ROB281:
Btw, thank you GD for giving me the tools needed to root my nc.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
I misspoke. While contacts do sync, I am unable to view or edit the full details contacts with contact list apps. I get a system not supported message.
[Nook Color Android Development] thebriand:
If you're interested, I got it to work. I deleted flashplayer.apk and then just installed 10.3 from the market. No problems at all. I saw some posts that recommended side-loading it, but the market worked fine for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Yes that system is unsupported cause it tries to use the stock contact app for some things which doesn't exist with the NC. This is going to be an issue as long as you're running stock unless someone finds a way to make a Contacts.apk work side by side with the built in Contacts that managed for the B&N features.
[Nook Color Android Development] beezy69:
When you update to a newer version of MN do you need to do a full wipe and loose all your apps and stuff?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
No you don't.
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
Is there any way to get Live Wallpapers working with this Manualnooter?
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
I posted this question

in my previous post

but it went unanswered so I'll ask it again... 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.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
I got mine from 4shared (see attachment), downloaded it and dropped it in Dropbox on my PC. Deleted FP 10.1 with titanium backup and installed FP 10.3 from Dropbox in NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
I can't seem to uninstall 10.1 I go to manage applications in Nook Color tools and it won't let me and in Titanium Backup Pro, I don't see any applications at all..
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
Strange. I have TB free and was able to uninstall it with it, but not with Nook Color Tools. In TB, tap on the Backup/Restore tab and it should be listed towards the top as "Adobe Flash Player 10.X"

If you don't see it, try going into TB settings and hit "Refresh app list"
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
I hit that and it said number of app data elements 0
[Nook Color Android Development] behic:
Thanks to all of you who put in the hard work to make this easy for simple folks like me. I just wasn't completely satisfied with the stock 1.2 offerings as far as apps go, still wanted basic nook color functionality, and I waited for most of the bugs from this to be sorted out before hopping back on the nootered wagon. I even did it at work, writing the image to my SD card while still on the nook (yes, it works), and logging in via a local cafe wifi hotspot. :D Only issue I had was getting non-market installs working right (amazon store), but finally got it somehow after a reboot and clicking the box on and off.

You guys rock.
[Nook Color Android Development] sangahm:
Thanks for all of your hard work. I sent you a little something to show my appreciation. Having the ability to fully use the Nook as a B&N Reader and a tablet is valuable to me.
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
Thanks, I appreciate the download link but that really doesn't address my actual question.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
You could try the Amazon Appstore. I seem to recall someone saying it was a little more tolerant.
[Nook Color Android Development] jadehawk:
Thank you " GabrialDestruir "

I have finally gotten your MN 4.5.18 To work with no problems.. I had some issues but after going thru the 82 pages of posts before making my first post (this one) i can't thank you enough I will compensate for your time after this post.

I will like to add my issues and how I resolved them for those that may be at the situation I was but are to lazy to read the entire thread :D .

Issue #1

Coming from new stock NC 1.2 I registered my NC and loaded MN via CWR on SD Card , it failed to boot and I never got past the "N" tried to wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset via CWR followed by MN flash, but still did not get past the "N" Re-created and SD card and Re-Downloaded MN (Recover using 8 fail-boot method) Applied MN once more but same result..

Fix:

Re-Created Boot SD Card (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11987469&postcount=1 ) "Credit to cmstlist "

Downloaded and Transferred to SD Card [update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip] ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13198961&postcount=1 ) "Credit to nemith"

Downloaded and Transferred to SD Card [ManualNooter-4-5.18.zip] ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13270739&postcount=1 ) "Credit to GabrialDestruir"

Booted from SD Card, Wiped cache/dalvik and did factory reset.

Flash Stock 1.2 update.

Flash ManualNooter.

Removed SD Card and rebooted with no problems :)

Issue #2

After Booting and registering the NC and signing in to the Market, by default the google apps are set to Update Automatically, I let it do its thing all goes fine however after a single reboot the NC goes into a constant Boot Loop on the (Nook Color Logo Screen) Nothing I did via CWR allowed me to get past that screen. Some other user (2 other people I believe) reported the same behavior.

Fix:

I re-flashed and ManualNooted with the steps above to start again.

The Apps that cause this problem for me where Adobe Air and Adobe Flash (I updated them one at a time and rebooted after each single update both apps cause the boot loop).

Downloaded Titanium Backup (To remove the apps in my case "Nook tools" Did not let me delete them).

Manually deleted the apps (Flash & Adobe Air) using TB (Updating them was no good for me(boot loop)).

Re-downloaded and install both from market

Now all works great I can reboot the NC with no problems :)

Request.

Is it possible to disable the Auto-Update of the including apps on the next MN update?

Once more Thank you to GabrialDestruir and all the other people that contributed info on this thread..
[Nook Color Android Development] Techienana:
I am glad to see that someone else had the boot loop on the color logo screen. I had just re-flashed MN and installed Flash Player 3 and immediately uninstalled the update through the Market. So, I can't say that I was able to reproduce your exact issue but I turned off the NC and it booted up just fine this time. I'm game, though, and will reinstall to see what happens. I'll report back.

Update: Wow! I was able to reproduce the boot loop on the Nook Color logo after installing Flash Player 10.3. Going off to flash MN again and leave out 10.3.

Query: Is 10.3 for Eclair? Research time!
[Nook Color Android Development] jadehawk:
Well after reading that you have trouble with the 10.3 Flash Player I power off and on the unit several times (5 to be exact) I can't repeat the boot loop.

I also forced off (help power button till it shut down) 5 times and rebooted and no boot loop..

I wonder if you deleted the application and re-installed it (not update it)? I guess this boot loop is a hit or miss issue with Flash player 10.3

On post #1

Under Changes

The note states that Flash Player 10.2 will cause the boot loop. So is safe to assume that any higher update will do cause the same behavior however in my case and some others 10.3 is working as long as it is installed rather than updated.

Reason why I requested if it was possible to dissable automatic update of this apps within the ManualNooter update zip on the next release. :)

Thank you for the update :)
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
As far as I know there's no way to disable the auto update of it all... bu perhaps I can play around and see if I can't figure out a way to get 10.3 to install via MN.

Anyone who got 10.2 working, if you update to 10.3 does it boot loop?
[Nook Color Android Development] sibyy:
Well it just happened to me.

Fresh 1.2 > applied ManualNooter 4.5.18 > Updated Flash to 10.3

now its in boot loop at the Nook Color logo :(

Oufffff
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you could load up CWM and go in via ADB delete from /data the flash related folders in /data/data and in cache. This should in theory fix it.

Amazon Apps - Angry Birds, plus other misc questions

Great work thus far, I have been reading the thread on and off for several weeks and finally took the plunge today.

I have a few questions with those installing from Amazon Appstore.. I have several versions of Angry Birds and none of them will install now. I have tried restoring from Titanium backup, and installing from Amazon directly. Basically it will download and when I select package installer, it will then state install failed.

I have tried to remove the SD Card as one of the market angry bird workaround suggest, however then it will prompt that there is not enough space to install to.

Other installs work for me, from Market, plus I have installed one or two other apps from Amazon that have worked... So has anyone gotten Birds installed off Amazon?

Then a few misc questions..

1) I see some updated GApps in market.. I would assume I do NOT want to update those?

2) The SD Card icon, can it be removed from the tray?

Thanks for the hard work everybody!

Rick
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Sounds like you've installed a bunch of apps and it's out of space... you could try the kernel that fixes Unknown Reason -18 and App2SD that'd allow you to put it on your SDCard or you should be able to go into the local B&N and ask if you can get it repartitioned to have a 5GB /data partition but this would also wipe your NC to stock 1.2
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Fellas,

For 10.3 its easy get titanium backup unistall 10.1 and then install 10.3 from applanet or using the apk f you have it. No boot loops.

[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
What's does 10.3 offer over 10.1?

I am not sure of the advantages other than the security fix for going to 10.3 I seem to recall that the NC flash was a custom version created by Adobe for the NC. If that's true, I wonder if the customization was rolled into the 10.3 release.

The NC is not on the list of certified devices (not surprising since there is no way for an unrooted NC to update except through the Nook app store).

[Nook Color Android Development] rfryar:
First off thanks for the post. That got me the APK location... Once I tried, it actually gave me an APK error.. But when I deleted the APK out of the cache directory and reinstalled, it loaded just fine from Amazon this time, even with the SD Card in. Weird.

Next up Seasons. Thanks for the pointer!

[Nook Color Android Development] Runnin_IT:
No answer on getting 10.2 or 10.3 working - 10.3 update gives me boot loops. However, if you have an android phone, you CAN turn off auto updating of flash. Search the market for flash 10.3 using your phone, and uncheck allow automatic updating.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Well I was hoping someone would give me an answer cause I'm looking at a couple possible solutions and haven't tested them out yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
Just followed RegLinUsr instructins and all works. Double checked Titanium afterwards to check Flash and it says Flash 10.3. Booted up twice just to be sure and I got no reboot issue. I am still on MN 4.5.6. Good luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] beezy69:
im getting this same problem..any help?
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Ok correction tryied using the 4.5.18 and boot looped.

Tryied using 4.5.6 and was able to uninstall 10.1 and install 10.3 through appplanet. (am not sure if its a modified version)

There are some issues with the market in 4.5.6 but works OK.

I might retry after loading 4.5.6 and fixing flash to reload the 4.5.18 and see what happens.

As far as differences 10.3 is 10-20% faster than 10.1..........

I am using adw launcher and having the "currently reading" issue... Can't find HNC NookHome anywhere...

I setup softkeys for a long press to home.. short press to adw launcher.. all i have to do when i boot up is go to home (long press) then hit short press (adw launcher) and currently reading works again.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalex7777:
What version of Air and Flash did you get to run on your NOOKcolor? I specifically rooting to test an app we have in development that runs on Air and I would greatly appreciate this info.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] mtnguy:
I tried and tried to get the 4.5.6 version to work ... no apps (nomatter what 'fix' I tried) ... and almost gave up on this MN. However, I decided to give it one more try with 4.5.18 and VOILA! Almost everything works ... Market, Flash 10.3, Angry Birds, etc. However, the calendar doesn't work. I can use Calengoo but have other calendars that rely on the 'stock' calendar (I guess) and they don't work.

Anyway ... KUDU's to an excellent nooter!!
[Nook Color Android Development] kahibbi:
Is it just me or is anyone else getting a "Blank Page" when trying to download the ManualNooter-4-5.18.zip file? I tried over the weekend and again just now and nothing. I turned off McAfee Firewall and IPS on thie Win7 laptop and still nothing. Hmpf!
[Nook Color Android Development] damthman:
So I am on 4.5.6. I didnt see the need to upgrade to 4.5.18 because I had already done the fix for the children's book over adb. but I can say the fix where i use titanium backup to uninstall and reinstall flash 10.3 and adobe air (both of which i got from 4shared) and I did not get a boot loop. so maybe it is something with 4.5.18? I also have daligrins 5/13/11 OC kernel. maybe it is the kernel that people are using? hope this helps GD.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
NookHome is actually included in MN 4.5.18, but you can also get it here.

I have a weird solution for reading now, not sure if it's a fluke or what. First I have Home Switcher for Froyo installed. Second, I use Zeam as my default launcher.

Now, I installed ADW (free version), but it never shows up in my app drawer. However, from within zeam, I run NookHome, hit the N button and it takes me back to Zeam. Now the icon works as the stock Home app stays in memory.

Before I installed ADW, the stock Home would eventually get killed and stopped working, but otherwise, as long as it's in the background, it will work.

With 1.2, the N key is a back button, so I have yet to actually have to use softkeys for anything (and therefore not running in my setup).
