i installed it from the market,

moved the apk from /app to /system/app, Reboot,

and activated it with the nook color tools...
[Nook Touch Android Development] pdascot:
Oh yeah, it works!

No idea, why I could not get it to work before, as I did the same. Alright now. Thanks a lot!
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
I posted this question earlier but never heard anything...

Is anyone else having trouble with the Kobo app? I've tried multiple versions, one from the Amazon AppStore, and pushed 2 old APK's I found. Also tried using Titanium backup to backup from my phone and restore the APK+Data to the N2E, but still problems.

It seems I can open the app, and read samples of the books and that's fine, it is just when I try to open one of my own books that I have purchased through the Kobo store. I've tried buying a book within the device, but the payment won't go through. Also, if you go and try to search the store within the app it causes the Nook to reset. Anyone have any success?

edit: BTW, I rooted using xboxexpert method. Although I haven't gotten Market and Gmail working because I don't care to have my emails on this thing so I haven't tried too hard to fix it. I thought maybe gaining access to the market maybe triggered something the Kobo is looking for, so I installed a copy of Froyo on my netbook without the Market and just installed the Kobo apk and everything works fine. hmm

Several people mentioned newsrob working, however, when I use it (pro since I bought some time ago on my droid), whenever I scroll an article, newsrob no longer changes articles properly - like when I go back and forth, the title changes, but the article stays the same. I've seen this happen rarely on my phone, but it's happening every time on the nook touch. Anyone else notice this?
[Nook Touch Android Development] truewt:
Hi folks,

I'm back again with another problem on my STR :(

My nook constantly turns on by itself and gets drained out of battery.. and now it has drained completely of its battery, and when I attempt to charge it, after 8 hours or so of charging, it still says the battery is too low to power on!

I have done this for 2 times and I'm at wits end now.. Seems like my battery is faulty? And I have no way to return my STR... sigh...

Has any folks here encountered the same issue with their STR?
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
That sucks. I'm sure you've tried doing a complete factory restore using the 8 fail boots and such method? If you've done that, and you can't return it, maybe your battery is faulty. The device is too new to find replacement batteries, but based on the teardown pics I've seen it doesn't look like it's hard to change. Other then that not really sure what to say, sorry
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
My first one had a faulty battery and a faulty touchscreen too...fortunately I was able to return it.

Everything working ok here except that I can no longer change the wpa_supplicant file to switch from the AdHoc friendly version to the "standard version". I used to do that with gscript but now it tells me that the file system is protected/locked. That happened after I ran a few scripts from xboxexpert to allow non-market installs although I can't see why that would be a problem. Anything seen that before and found a fix? Thanks!

Odd request for Nook Simple Touch image running from the sdcard

Maybe this isn't top priority, but if someone just happens to be able to get something like this working...I'd love to have it.

I'd like to find an image of the Nook Simple Touch that will boot and run off of an sdcard. The Nook Simple Touch demo's that we have at work only run a looping display that shows what the device supposedly can do. There is no way for a potential customer to actually do anything or play with the device in trying to decide whether to buy one. (Fwiw, we also sell the Nook color and the original Nook...both are fully functional and let the customer fully try them out.)

I tried the factory reset, but it resets to the same looping demo, so that's out. I think if I could just run a copy of the OS from the sdcard so that at least customers could get a real feel for how it looks and works, they would sell much better.

Thanks,

JTT

Have you already tried booting it with a microsd formatted with the touchnooter?
[Nook Touch Android Development] endor43:
Hey all,

This is something which I have been trying to do for a while now but can seem to get working.

I am trying to enable USB ADB on my nook.

Yes, I am aware that there is a pretty looking drivers package with bat for windows, but I am on an amd64 debian based linux distro.

I tried the nookdevs USB ADB guide for the nook color (as the str and color are quite similar) but adb devices is completely blank.

I have created udev rules in a 50., 51., and 99. file but no success.

blkid and lsusb, all show my device and seem to correspond with the nook dev directions. But again what matters (adb devices) just shows blank.

So now i'm at a loss.

I know i can use adhoc but USB ADB is great , and I cant make an adhoc network right now (only have one wireless card in use).

I'd appreciate your help, and am sure many people will find this useful.

Thank you,

Endor
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
I'm not sure that's what he's looking for. Touchnooter boots off the SD, but it still writes to the internal storage. Once it's booted and you remove the SD it's still rooted. Since this is a demo unit I'm assuming he's looking for something that can be restored to stock with just removing the card. If I'm wrong, then by all means give Touchnooter a whirl

[Nook Touch Android Development] ryanpl:
Can you also send me a copy of your background. I like it! Also what launcher are you using? I'm using what came with TouchNooter and can not have as many icons on the screen. Ryan
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Yikes! Loved that launcher. I can get at most 4 icons per row and I believe 5 rows per page on the actual launcher...

We should make a sticky with the background and the widgets. I know I've seen them in this post, but I can't find them.
[Nook Touch Android Development] endor43:
Does anyone know how to implement this?
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
Im guessing you need to edit build.prop on device and get a modified adb to recognize the vendorid.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
adb over USB is quite easy, you just need to modify the uRamdisk
[Nook Touch Android Development] mdall:
If I'm not wrong the Nook 2 has a Neonode zforce touchscreen and I've seen somewhere that this one supports multi-touch.

Therefore, there might be a way to enable multitouch ... (could be very useful in some apps where pinch-to-zoom is the only way to zoom in)

Could you add this feature to TouchNooter ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] GeobMcFly:
What do you use as book reader after rooting? I like Nook's reader for its caching feature, and its speed but it lake of font size choice, the smallest is too small and the one after is already too big. I compare to a friends Orizon and it has more choice (but I prefer Nook's screen ;) ).
[Nook Touch Android Development] nubela:
Is it normal for my my page to refresh at every page turn after rooting? (instead of every 6?)
[Nook Touch Android Development] GeobMcFly:
Can someone post the instruction here as the nookdev is down (error 502)
[Nook Touch Android Development] mdall:
I also use the stock reader for the same reasons and I also think that it should have more choice ... Maybe you can try another bigger font.

No.

It's back (and you can always find them on other websites or with Google cache).

Or else, you can use TouchNooter, it is easier ...
[Nook Touch Android Development] angomy:
Does using "Basic Reading Mode" not turn it off?
[Nook Touch Android Development] actorman46:
I think it will still end up flashing every page. The touch doesn't flash every page of a nookbook because it buffers them. Its not going to do that for other apps.

Sent from my NookColor
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
I wasnt aware that the Android version of the app had the option on the UI. I was trying to look in sqllite to see if there was a switch there.

Someone know how to disable the page slide?
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
BTW: ADW launcher works on the Nook as well ;) Can launch apps / browser / etc. Apparently the device has bluetooth as well. Hopefully I can get that working so I can hear some music while reading.
[Nook Touch Android Development] aruangra:
That's great. Please provide us the instruction. Thanks for your effort.

Anyone gotten around the sideloading space limit?
[Nook Touch Android Development] ph0n33z:

[Nook Touch Android Development] nemith:
Can someone please run the following

adb shell mount

adb shell df (may need busybox)

adb shell cat /proc/partitions

adb shell cat /proc/cmdline

adb shell cat /proc/cpuinfo

adb shell dmesg (perferably right after a reboot)

Also a system dump would be awesome. I ordered my NookT online so it's enroute.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
Hi, Can someone post a backup image of an unrooted nook touch / or can someone tell me how to make a backup image on a windows 7 machine. thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] B3RL1N:
So, if bluetooth theoretically "works" (and correct me if I'm wrong on that) does that mean that we could listen to outbound sounds on the NT if we were to route the audio to a headset via an app like BTMono?

Can you say, Audiobooks?

Just putting it out there.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I got mine rooted and installed adw and enabled non market installs. i am trying out manga watcher right now and it installed no problem but i had some trouble adding a series. So i used a backup i created on my nook color and it restored fine however when ever i tap on a series it goes back to the adw home screen.

edit: it seems like there isn't enough ram so the app just closes

perfect viewer is working great although i need to get some sort of soft buttons next which means first i need super user
[Nook Touch Android Development] jjlangen:
How did you get adw on it? There's something I'm missing... Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I used the wireless adb connection to install it. On the adb connect step did you have success?
[Nook Touch Android Development] aruangra:
How do you launch the launcher? Do you need to use adb to launch ADW?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I think i have run into a problem. Alright so i pretty much opened my box and rooted this thing so i don't know about the stock experience but when i go to my library i have one book downloaded when i click on it it asks for my name and credit card number to unlock the book not sure what that is about. Also, when i try to download another book in my library that i have already paid for it just comes up as "problem downloading please try again later"

it is still kinda lacking but when i boot up it asks which home i want to boot I choose adw at that point. If i am in an app i make sure to back out to get back to adw. hopefully someone can change the function of the n button to be a normal homebutton instead of bringing up that menu.

nook color tools seems to work

Lastly i just got button savior working so now i have a working home button and always present back button so that make getting around a lot easier.

I really wish manga watcher worked
[Nook Touch Android Development] MystaWright:
I've been working on non market installs all day. How did you do it?

irc://irc.freenode.org/#nookdevs

to run an app from adb shell run am start -n <name of app>/.Launcher
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
Using K9 on Nook Touch!

It is awesome! :) It works perfectly for reading e-mail! It even works in portrait mode once it is set from ADW. This tablet seriously needs a proper Android install. We have to get the N button sorted out to open the launcher and hack the Honeycomb onscreen buttons onto this thing!
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
We need a CM7 port. ;) Im new to the Nook * stuff so its taking me a while to learn, so hopefully someone with some NookColor ROM experience could lend a hand here.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jjlangen:
After reinstalling the SDK on my computer, it installed apks fine. LauncherPro works great, along with the Kindle app, which is the main thing I wanted. Still haven't figured out how to get su running, non-market apps, and debug mode. I'm still happy with getting Kindle, though, don't care for the nook store.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
Anyone noticed any effects on battery life?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I did these instructions exactly

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_App_install_from_on-device_installers

also if you pushed nookcolor tools to the system/app you could enable it that way as well
[Nook Touch Android Development] nemith:
No promisses but i'll give it a shot. Step one will be CWM support.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
Does anybody with one of these rooted have access to there nook books in they library? I don't and it is kinda bothering me.

Running the current version of LauncherPro. Looks like 0.8.6

I think it has 228 useable ram, and 789 program memory

Edit: my ram used was at 200 before I cleared it out. That's probably gonna be an issue for heavy use

Can anyone confirm if any of the Manga/Comic apps work? Specifically MangaWhat! as it's really the only selling point this had for me.

Could careless if it plays angry birds or does heavy flash based internet, lol.
[Nook Touch Android Development] aruangra:
Thanks. Can we remove the telephone and unused icons from the launcher? And can we change the background color from black to white in the application page? I wonder if the ADW launcher can change it to white.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I got pulse reader from the amazon appstore and it is working

mangawatcher is not really working it installs but different series can't be added successfully and if i restore a backup then the app closes when i try to open a specific manga.

mango works great it just wont open up the bookmarks page.

Mangawhat seems to work pretty well, it is the only one that i can use bookmarks or favorites, so that is a big plus but the lack of sites is kind of a put off now that mangareader.net is using crappy versions for a lot of series. So basically I am not cazy about the reader in mangawhat becuase it tries to be too fancy and leaves out simple things like choosing how to resize an image.

Also for an app with manga in the name you think the would gear it better for reading right to left.

Since it is the only one so far with an accessible favorites/bookmarks area it might be the best to manage series and just use a diferent reader like perfect viewer.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Gin1212:
Awesome, exactly what I wanted to know. To be honest I just get my "legal" scanlations =D from irc channels and such, rarely use the manga sites unless I just want to start a new series and don't have a computer near by.

ADW Launcher Question on Nook Touch

Hi Nookers!

I was able to get my Nook Touch rooted and successfully installed the Kindle app, FBReader and ADW Launcher. (THANK YOU NookDev and XDA!)

So now on reboot, I can see the Launcher Screen but after I launch an app, there's no way for me to get back to the Launcher screen. On one of the youtube videos, i saw the back and menu icons exposed on the top bar. Is there a config or setting I need to change to enable that?

Also, is there a way to remap the "n" button to launch the adw launcher instead? Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] aethermade:
You should get ButtonSavior or maybe SoftKeys. Both add a small touch button on your screen which you can tap to open a larger menu of buttons. Also I think SoftKeys might be able to change what the N does, haven't tried that yet though.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If someone wanted to try installing Gapps I'd try these steps first.

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:Manual_market_enable

You need to remove any framework.jar with these packages and/or modify the framework.jar in the NookTouch.

At the very least it'd give a decent idea of how similar the software is to the NC's 2.1 if this works then it could be possible to modify AutoNooter to work for the NookTouch and if it worked it'd allow access to market making testing of various apps easier on the NookTouch.

I don't have one of these myself and can't afford one or else I'd test those steps myself. But I'm very interested in seeing the results.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I am not sure softkeys will do that since the n isn't already a home button.

Now if someone could change the home touch button under the n menu to go to a launcher of my choosing that would be convenient.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Try these methods:

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_su_and_the_Superuser_app

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_App_install_from_on-device_installers

The way I see it is, and correct me if I'm wrong this thing is running Eclair. Which means since basically a modified version of "Nooter" worked to get adb access it should be possible to use some of the older methods to get these types of things working. At the very least we'd learn whether or not these methods worked for the NookTouch
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
You could try a hardware key hack like what was used on the Original Nook to swap the turn page buttons. Or like what was used on the NookColor to give it hardware back/menu buttons.

From my understanding apparently the n isn't actually the "home" button but does something else? You'd just go into the system and find the Keys files and modify it so that button was the home button. But doing this would make it lose whatever the previous functionality was.

Browser Info

Went and picked mine up from B&N today and while paying for the unit there was a tech engineer in the store from B&N. I asked him about the browser and he said they are planning to have it available without going to the search feature in the next release. They wanted to get the unit on the market and did not have time necessary to complete everything they had planned for the unit. But he did say it was developed to be a simple ereader and that not a lot will be done from B&N. He was fully aware of what we have done to the Nook Color and was very supportive of XDA efforts.
[Nook Touch Android Development] redbluff:
same here. That is why I wanted one and picked it up today.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ph0n33z:
I rooted my Nook and installed a few apps on it. However, I am noticing a change in the refresh now. Before, it would completely refresh every 5 pages. Now, it doesn't refresh at all! Instead, you can see the ghosting of every previous page. After 5 pages or so, it gets so muddy that the background makes it very difficult to read. The only way to force a refresh is to click the N button.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
Is this occuring with the native B&N software?
[Nook Touch Android Development] CoolBone:
I was experiencing this on heavy, heavy reading days. I haven't installed anything but have rooted. Don't really know the reason. Comes intermittently.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
I read a pdf for about 1-2 hours and never had any problems involving refresh
[Nook Touch Android Development] ph0n33z:
Yes. The B&N native software. It doesn't occur with the Kindle app or elsewhere.
