Page Turns

I have been going in an out of Aldiko, FBReader, and CoolReader3 turning off any page animation settings and comparing the page turns of each app. Then I went back into the native Nook Ereader and looked at the page turn effect again. As I said before, the "flash effect" you get every 5th or 6th page turn on the Nook app, you basically get every page turn on the sideloaded reading apps. I noticed with the "flash effect", your entire screen will turn a dark grey momentarily. With the native Nook app, the screen stays white until you reach that 5th or 6th page. Then, I looked at the page turns on my Kindle3 and noticed the screen turns a dark grey with each page turn as well. The page turns are a little crisper looking on the Kindle3 than on the Aldiko app of my Nook Touch, but not in any significant way (IMO).
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Most updated one works fine.
[Nook Touch Android Development] WakeArray:
The delayed screen refresh (or "flash effect" as you put it) comes only through a special type of caching put on by B&N, thus the stock app is the ONLY place you will find it. ALL other apps will require a full screen refresh until someone either rewrites the apps specifically for the Nook 2nd Edition(Possible, but unlikely), or someone finds a way to pre-cache the apps without modifying the apps(Virtually impossible).

If you hack your Nook Touch, expect full screen refresh on everything you do. I should also note that e-ink's battery saving features come from the fact that it only uses power when preforming a screen refresh, should you be doing a task that requires a significant amount of refreshing, expect your battery life to be affected.
[Nook Touch Android Development] elmonica:
Ok, I agree "delayed screen refresh" is probably more accurate. My point is that for someone who likes reading with the Aldiko app, while the page turns are not as smooth as with the native Nook Touch app, it is not really that different from other dedicated readers on the market. Like I said, I compared page turns from the Aldiko app with the Kindle3, and it is really isn't that significant of a difference. Do you agree?
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
I wonder if there is a way to Factory reset it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] WakeArray:
My apologies, I thought you were another person complaining that the caching wasn't active on the apps that were hacked on. >.< However, that does make sense, seeing as the processor power can't make the screen refresh any faster and in-fact the screen on the N2E and the K3 are one and the same. So take out the fancy B&N caching and the screen refresh rate should be exactly the same.
[Nook Touch Android Development] elmonica:
No apology required since I wasn't that clear. I just wanted to mention it since people on blogs had speculated that the reading experience of some of these sideloaded apps would be crap, since they weren't optimized for eInk tablets. While Aldiko has some partially truncated menus and some buttons difficult to activate, I think the reading experience is quite respectable.

Nook color tools offers a 'development' menu. USB debugging is buried under this.

Instafetch Lite

As I commented in another thread, InstaFetch Lite doesn't appear to be pulling down articles from my InstaPaper account. I also tried adding articles directly to InstaFetch from my Opera browser, but generated some error message in response. Since the settings indicate that InstaFetch uses the microSD card as storage, I thought that maybe there were some rights issue at play, so for the hell of it, using Root Explorer, I tried to change the permissions on the InstaFetch folder on my SDcard, however, I got the message "Please note some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes".

Anyway, apparently I can't change where InstaFetch stores its data or the permissions on that folder. Anyone, know of a workaround here?

I just grabbed my N2E today.

Using methods from the wiki for the manual methods of rooting NC I was able to get the following installed:

SU/SuperUser.apk

Busybox

Gapps

Gmail

Market - I think needs framework.jar hack to work. Will test soon. Hacked framework seems to have failed to work.

Talk - Crashes I suspect for the same reasons it originally crashed on NC

Youtube - Used to login probably can play videos... but who'd want that on e-ink?

Going to be trying this framework.jar patch to get Market working:

You can access it through the second Home option in Softkeys.

[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:

email.apk for 2.1 works great

Quick Office.apk works great as well

[Nook Touch Android Development] redbluff:
Also now that I am getting this setup the way I want it we need to determine how to stop B&N from doing an upgrade when we are connected. I thought there was a way to do this on the Nook Color which might work here as well.

InstaPaper Epub download

While I have given up on InstaFetch for the time being, Instapaper.com does provide the user the option to download saved articles to an EPUB file. I tested this out on the Nook Touch and it downloaded fine. The Nook prompted me to open the file, and gave me the choice of the three reading apps I had sideloaded: Aldiko, FBReader and Coolreader. Interestingly it didn't prompt me with the native Nook app as well, even though I probably could have read it in on that app if I was to browse for it from within the Nook app.

In any case this is going to work pretty well, since I can do paged reading in any of those three reading apps. While I haven't installed it yet, I may install MoonReader as well, since another person commented that with MoonReader, the physical turn buttons on the Nook work. Another nice thing about this approach to reading web articles is that many of these eReader apps (not Aldiko, however) work with the ColorDict dictionary app. This is especially nice if you like to read foreign language articles, since there are different foreign language dictionaries you can set as the default dictionary.

Question about Opera Mini Browser

When I used the Safari Browser in the past on other tablets, I could create little shortcut buttons on the home screen that would open the browser for specific websites.

I don't see that ability within Opera Mini's settings anywhere. Is there some way of doing this?

I set Kindle to use volume buttons for page turning. Then I can use the hard buttons for page turning in Kindle ! This also works in other reading programs for example Aldiko, FBreader, Moon+reader.

Does anyone know the key code of the Nook button and the action to launch the launcher ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] B3RL1N:
I've thought about testing it, same with Ubuntu. The only thing that scares me is that I wouldn't have access to any of the hardware keys and along with software bugs would be unable to power down the device.

I'm sitting at 30% battery life (After 5 days of adb this and constant WiFi on that; which is very impressive to me at least.), so maybe I'll test Cyanogen later.
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
I've bricked twice but boot from SD card works fine and Ubuntu through VMWare Windows 7 x64 works perfect for accessing all the drives just run sudo in front of the commands because the OS is locked for write even though its r/w. Go figure...unless I'm retarded.
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
I've locked it up before when trying to boot nookie. Called tech support and they told me that holding down power button more than 20 secs, does a hardware reboot. Works.

Tried booting cm7 as is and it just appears to lockup. Going to try and fiddle with the boot process next
[Nook Touch Android Development] B3RL1N:
I haven't poked around the ext4's yet on my nook. I'll see about sudo, I had some read write issues adbing to my /system/apps folder a few days ago. No idea why, had admin rights. Then randomly out of no where, it let me push to the directory. Guess it just spazzed out. - On that note, anyone know of a WSVGA Swype apk without all that annoying "flashing" on key press. Couldn't find an option to disable it, makes the keyboard unusable for me.

I'm going to have to try to Ubuntu. The ROM's main feature that it's missing is charging and I'm sure Ubuntu will destroy the overall life of the device. But Ubuntu on my Nook with an e-ink display will almost make me forget about my netbook. Think it would be pretty neat to have.

Okay, cool. I've had to do this as well, but I wasn't sure if it would work outside the stock ROM.

I've got so many things that I want to do to my Nook2, but sadly, my stupid @$% took summer classes this semester, so I'm busy as all hell.

Anyone have luck getting bluetooth to work? 80% of the time I can't even find a hint of it. Where did you come across bluetooth zonyl? It's all but hidden in the software, only thing that makes me believe it is the official nook looking "bluetooth" notification on bluetooth toggle and that the specs are nearly identical to the Color.

-

Oh! One more thing! DO NOT use the SetCPU settings of 300MHz with the profile of "screen off." My Nook 2 started running hot when I enabled this setting. There could be other factors, but when I tried locking the screen and picked up my device about 3 minutes later, the rubber backing was warm to the touch. I do not advice trying to underclock your Nooks CPU when the screen is off, the default processor settings are suffice.
[Nook Touch Android Development] elmonica:
I am sort of debating how I want code those keys. I am tempted to code the two right buttons as Volume_up and Volume_down, and then code the two left one ones as menu and back. While I assume this would prevent me from turning pages in the native Nook app, I can always download the Nook Android app, and probably use the volume keys with it. I think having a back button would be very useful, since I don't particularly care for using the softkeys one all the time.
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
I saw the powercontrol appears to show BT status however Ive scanned /dev, /sys/module, and dmesg and cant find anything referencing or hinting at BT onboard. Not to say for sure there isnt, however, with what is present on the device's current firmware I'd say no. We really need someone experienced on the NC dev scene to weigh in on this.

On the positive side of things, I made a little headway on CM7. It created the partitions on the SD card during boot at least ;) It may actually be booting up but nothing is appearing on the screen. Im using the (2.1?) kernel from stock though so Im sure things arent going to work with CM7 2.3. More of an academic project than one being useful for now.

What are you trying to restore, a nandroid backup or the radio? are you in recovery or bootloader? You do NOT flash a radio from recovery, you do it from the bootloader.

Hello Everyone

I've finally flashed to the official stock XWJVH after waiting weeks for Meteor to release the update. Since I'm not on Meteor, nor reside in Ireland (phone was bought off eBay) I finally gave up and flashed my phone. This means that it is Odexed as far as I am aware.

To root the phone I flashed using the CF-Root kernel which added Tweaks, CWM and of course SuperUser.

I was looking forward to the overscroll glow and CRT lock animation that vanilla Android has, but am disappointed to find these were not included.

I've searched the forum, but can only find these these 2 mods included with things like the battery percentage and extended power menu (which puts me off - no offence to the developers)

Are there any ways to manually add the overscroll glow and the CRT animation without the other mods that I do not want?

Apologies, but I am new here so if I've posted in the wrong sub-forum etc. please feel free to tell me off :P

let me help a bit more here.

For some strange reason, google took out the default folders in honeycomb. So now you have to use a third party application, but don't worry because many of them are actually better, and you can also add a custom icon to your folder.

The three big ones are:

Folder Organizer (paid), allows you to make folders and give custom icons to any app you have installed. Lots of customization but the icons get a little smaller than the phone versions. You can also choose the order of the icons in your folder.

Apps Organizer (free). basically nothing more than putting your apps into folders. Also allows you to customize the icon of the folder. icons are phone size.

Smart Shortcuts (free). allows for apps, contacts, and bookmark folders with customiseable icons. no sorting. icons are phone size. Though the dev has told me personally that he's working on enabling the larger honeycomb icons.

there are others such as ES file manager but these are the 3 big ones. personally i use smart shortcuts on my transformer as well as folder organizer for custom icons (desktop visualizer doesn't work on honeycomb yet.
