Then I don't really understand why you used Touchnooter to root your nook2 as it adds loads of crap you're not gonna use :confused:

Anyway, if Market is a no-go then adb is your only choice.

He said he used TouchNooter so he allready has adb wifi enabled..
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
I'm in the same boat you are, I can't afford to link my Nook to my main Gmail account. So, you should do what I did, create a secondary Gmail account for use just with the nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] kohkohnut:
Honestly I have never thought of uninstalling Market/Gmail as I consider them to be the core/heartbeat of the system. Would it break anything if I were to uninstall them?

Simple, to catch up on the latest happenings using my fave news apps.

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

But the instructions said to sign in using the same email address which was used to register the nook, which happened to be my primary email account which I am not willing to risk.

You got around this step with a different email?
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
They weren't there in the first place ;)

Honestly, if you really don't need/want that stuff related to Market you should take your time to factory reset your nook (hard reset 8 times), update it to 1.0.1 and root it again with noogie.img + uRamdisk_rooted from nookDevs

This is what I ended up doing after having fooled around with my TouchNootered N2 for a few days. I don't really need Market atm and I don't care for the Go Launcher (I went ADW). It will leave you with a clean rooted + adb enabled Nook2 and nothing more, then you can add what you need with adb.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Kulik:
What will I end up with after doing this TouchNooter thing? I'm asking because I quite like the design & features of the stock firmware...but wouldn't mind being able to install more...like Instapaper or RSS apps. Will I still have the option to use the stock 'launcher' with library & stuff...will there still be the stock lockscreen/screensaver and most importantly the stock reading app? and along with that a GO launcher etc.? or will this be simply replaced & I need to find replacement for all stock things that I miss from android market?
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Nothing is removed, the stock home with the stock library and reader will still be available to you.

Amongst other things, you'll get Button Savior, a tiny sidebar app that will simulate the "home","menu" and "back" buttons you are used to from other Android devices.

Use this to get to other launchers or jump between running apps.

There's no themes in Touchnooter so no graphics will change.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Kulik:
Sounds perfect, I'm gonna give it a try then:)

Can I afterwards remove the SD card? Will this still work?

EDIT: found answer in post # 103

[Nook Touch Android Development] kohkohnut:
Anyway guys,

I think I found the perfect solution.

http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1070455

Use the application-specific password to sign in to Gmail/Market first, once you are done with them, revoke the password.

This is useful for any Android phone/tablet as well. If you were to lose your Android device, simply revoke the password and the device would not be able to access your Google account anymore.

Hi

I rooted my N2 with touchnooter. it worked fine for 1month ,one day ,I reboot my nook touch .after read for ever screen , nook screen after 4 seconds flashed ,and after 4 seconds flashed again and again,

my set can't load and up my set.I tried to rest factory but unsuccessful (nook cant reset factory) just my set restoring (no effected)and didn't solve my problem,

I tried :

(Turn off.

Push power button and hold, then press and hold bottom left and right page buttons for 5 seconds. don't work)

(holding down the power for 20 seconds.don't work)[/COLOR][/COLOR]

(You could try 8 failed boots. Basically you power it on and then power it off before it fully boots. Do that 8 times and it might trigger recovery. restoring and no effect)

Are there any way to fix my nook touch?:confused::eek:

What is that new touchnooter supposed to do? I guess pretty much that can be done was already achieved. Maybe better market support from scratch, and fix that damn wifi problem - whenever you turn the STR off and on, you have to restart wifi connection. Besides that, not much to be done.

Upgrading to 1;.6.24

Apparently 1.6.22 has Android 2.1 while 1.6.24 has 2.2? How do I upgrade the Android version without having to wipe and start over? Can I just replace something on the drive? Thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
No, TouchNooter is not a rom and does absolutely nothing to your Android version.

In fact it doesn't much at all to your system other than modify a few system settings and install a few apps.

It's all there in the OP
[Nook Touch Android Development] danny92:
I installed market, and search works as expected.Thanks for this apk.

For Zeam Launcher, it is very limited : no shortcut can be put on desktop or in the dock. When after a long tap I try to select an application, it goes back to desktop.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Jiv_au:
Could I please ask someone to confirm this?

TouchNooter 1.6.24 still only works with firmware 1.0.0.

If you have firmware 1.0.1 then you should use Noogie.

Have I got that right?

Furthermore, is 1.0.1 worth it?

(from B&N site:

Connect more easily to Wi-Fi hotspots

Improved touchscreen responsiveness

Enhanced accuracy of battery meter

)

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Touch Android Development] chriscsh:
i confirm it work with 1.0.1 (at lease for me :p)
[Nook Touch Android Development] nickveldrin:
Has anyone tested with the new 1.1.0 update released a few hours ago? I am curious if it will still work.
[Nook Touch Android Development] cymoze:
No, TouchNooter 1.6.24 does not work for me with the new 1.1. Attempted twice, epic fail both times.

Went back to 1.0.1 and TouchNooter runs fine again.

Gabrial, what are the chances of a TouchNooter version compatible with B&N firmware 1.1?
[Nook Touch Android Development] tonyx3:
Thanks for the heads up. I was about to try it.

How did you go back to 1.0.1? Did you have a backup? I (stupidly) just updated to 1.1, and THEN took my backup image.
[Nook Touch Android Development] cymoze:
tony, if you haven't tried to re-root yet, deregister through Settings, then do the 8x failed boot sequence. That took me back to 1.0.1. HTH
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
I'm back to 1.1. Just need a touchnooter 1.6.25!

Gabrial, if you ever update, count me in for beta testing!
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
First things first, has anyone tried running TouchNooter from fresh, please post experiences.

If it's like the NookColor I suspect the version change has made it impossible to use TouchNooter to get root. This means we'll need a modified framework.jar that can be put in a new version of TouchNooter to get root back.

Secondly, NookColor Tools went into /system/app because if it wasn't inside /system/app it would refuse to properly swap keyboards. It's an app design flaw.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Gabrial,

I unrooted my nook (nookrestore + two button reset), installed update 1.1 (skipping 1.0.1), and used touchnooter.

Went to Android, skipped two screen, accepted the two options, and after that went on a loop on the 5 dots Barnes and Noble screen, and sometimes the screen blinked (made a negative version and went back - sort of a refresh, I guess), never left this one. Did it 3 times yesterday.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
So with TouchNooter in it booted just fine, on the initial boot?

Then rebooting with it in or out it came to an impassable boot loop?
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
As happened to me before, it just locked up on 1st try, and on 2nd it worked (it did the same when I rooted 1.0 and 1.0.1 - first time was always a dud, and second came out fine). But now after skipping and accepting tracking (or whatever those 2 options were), it went into infinite loop of black screen flashing every 5-6 seconds. Annoying, I might add.

Also on this post, people complained, and I join them, that during rooting with touchnooter, the 1st droid to be "touched" (the one with the flying hand) was quite irresponsive. It takes around 5-10 tries until I make it work properly. It blinked when touched, but wouldn't go to the following page. After that, the buttons worked quite well. Tried to add google account, instead of skipping (I was not reading the instructions) and the keyboard wouldn't show up. As I haven't done it before, I can't tell if it happened only now or was happening before.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Not sure what would cause this blackscreen flashing, I will try running touchnooter on my device sometime later today after I get some sleep and try to figure out exactly where the issue lies when rooting. I highly suspect however that just replacing the framework.jar with a hacked version of the 1.1 framework.jar will fix any root problems found in TouchNooter, once I get my hands on a hacked version I will update TouchNooter.

Eh the reason that screen gets skipped, is because past experience there's been no way in which to add accounts through that setup screen. It's sole purpose for being on the device is to enable network location. If someone could update NookColor Tools that screen could be removed completely from the setup process and users would be able to toggle Network Location like they can Non-Market Installs.
[Nook Touch Android Development] chriscsh:
Hi GabrialDestruir

another thing is i saw the spec from B&N

this update with multitouch function

maybe you need the add back the multitouch permission

thanks for your great work

[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
That might be something someone else can play with, report back with results. I don't have a lot of time to be testing what's changed because of school, but as soon as I can get my hands on what's needed I can change and update TouchNooter.

[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Chances are that root actually breaks updating to 1.1 from anything previous.

A /system wipe will probably allow you to update but you will lose root.

Currently TouchNooter does not work on 1.1 because I don't have the correct file to update it with.

Yes, several users have ended up in unbootable states trying to touchnooter an unregistered NST and my own testing seem to confirm this.

Registering a NST as a non-US user is not a problem, I've done it and so have lots of other users.

The only issue for non-US users is that we cannot purchase eBooks from the B&N store.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Found a topic about it, on the Nook color section:

I'm uploading framework.jar from the update file right now.

Thanks for the explanation of how the NTools got into the /system/app dir.

I don't know that I said this in my post, but the response of the screen in the launcher I use (sorry, device not here, can't remember which launcher) is way better with this update.

[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Is this pulled directly from 1.1, or has it been modified too?
[Nook Touch Android Development] roustabout:
This is directly from the update. I unzipped it and pulled the framework.jar - that is, this has not been installed to an NST, either. Don't know if that is important to your construction or not.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Completely forgot update files contain actual copies of the files on the system gods I feel stupid. It won't matter either way, just as long as someone is able to mod it for use with TouchNooter.
[Nook Touch Android Development] roustabout:
:) No worries, I've been using your various Nook Touch and Nook Color mods for a long time now and you're so completely permitted to forget a detail.

Hm. What to do. Sort out why su isn't, quite? Or actually read?

duh. Look at su some more.

Gynormous duh. Install Superuser.apk into /system/app.

Whoops!

This update is fantastic for me, by the way: the touchscreen is now responsive enough to support scrolling articles in Newsrob, where before I was limited to using the hard buttons for that - and the hard buttons don't support full page scrolling, but a half-page step.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Weaseal:
I followed the OP's directions. When I boot the nook after having completed all the steps, it asks me to use Home or Go Launcher Ex. If I select Go Launcher Ex, I get the standard Android interface, and if I select Home I get the traditional Nook UI. Once I'm in the Nook UI, I can't seem to get to the Android UI without rebooting. What is the correct way?
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Button Savior, it's on the right side of the screen, if you click it, it'll bring up a series of buttons, you press the home button and it should bring up both options for Go Launcher and Nook UI
[Nook Touch Android Development] cymoze:
I'm following this thread but I'm not sure I'm following.

Am I reading this right:

1) You can still download the BN update and have Touch Nooter as long as you -

a-unzip the BN update before you install it and remove framework.jar?

b- install BN update and then install TouchNooter?

or

2) B&N framework.jar has to be modified first before attempting to install TouchNooter.
[Nook Touch Android Development] met67:
Does anyone has a pointer or hint on the mods that must be made to framework.jar in order to support gapps?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Weaseal:
Excellent, thanks! I'm also having an issue where when I type and search in Market, Browser, etc. nothing happens. Any hints on this one?
[Nook Touch Android Development] roustabout:
@Cymoze: No, there is no way to get Touchnooter working under 1.1.0 right now. You will wind up with a very unstable NST if you try.

If you have the noogie disk and a linux box or a linux VM, you can use noogie to mount the whole NT up and copy files in manually. Superuser.apk into /system/app and su into /bin and I like busybox into /system/xbin.

You will also want to put the adb wireless app into whereever it needs to live so you can connect via ADB and install things without nook color tools, which isn't working and would be needed to enable wired ADB.

And 1.1.0 won't install to a rooted ST, either, so you need to be ready to roll back to an unrooted device. You can do that by powering on and hitting the two lower buttons - this formats /system and seems to be enough to let you get the update to take.

The extraction of the framework was just so Gabriel had access to it.

For now, rooting 1.1 is moderately annoying, not nearly as close fully automated as 1 and 1.0.0 were.
[Nook Touch Android Development] TJay99:
roustabout:

When you say that 1.1.0 won't install to a rooted NST, do you mean that the update won't be "pushed" into installing, even if it's automatically downloaded via wifi?

I'm trying to avoid the update completely and have turned off wi-fi. But I'm curious as to your statement and if it implies that even auto-downloading the update with a rooted Touch won't end up disabling it since it won't install.

Hope I haven't sounded too confused/confusing. Thanks for any info!
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you're pre-1.1 rooted this SHOULD work:

Run a Factory Restore to wipe /system only - 8 failed boots, or nookRestore image

Run the 1.1 update as is from B&N

Open TouchNooter and remove framework.jar from the TouchNooter disk

Run TouchNooter without 1.0.1 TouchNooter

Go through all steps for Market/Gmail/Youtube

You SHOULD be rooted with working market now

This is a theoretical method. The idea being that once Android ID is populated in 1.0.1 it should persist through 1.1 as long as /data is untouched. This would allow market to work in 1.1 without a new framework.jar

However we still need a modded framework.jar so that it can be used in an updated version of TouchNooter.

[Nook Touch Android Development] cymoze:
Gabrial, thanks. I get it all except step 1- how do you factory reset to only wipe system?
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Cymoze,

When you turn on your nook, keep both lower side buttons pressed. When screen flickers, it will go through the wipeout routine (press physical n button twice), and you are done.

Usually they tell you to do it when the screen flickers, but if you miss it you have to start again.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
No, "Factory Reset" will reset /data and it's not what you want!

What you want is "Factory Restore", which can be triggered with 8 interrupted boots or simply by booting the nookRestore image.

Can someone clarify what "patching framework.jar" will get us? I've been trying to do much of what the nooter script/files do manually and have superuser working properly along with nookcolortools and some other apk's. Sideloading seems to be okay too, along with adb over wireless.

The issue i am having is with the market. The apk included in the nooter package doesn't work - it starts and says that it cannot connect, and i tried another vending.apk that was included or linked in the thread and it's a similar problem.

edit: k so now youtube and gmail both don't work, so i think there's something more wrong. doh.

I get "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous secreen." when i try to launch market.
