TouchNooter 1.6.24

Restored to factory image, and did a TouchNooter 1.6.24 last night. Worked like a Charm, Market and Gaps work well.

Tried Amazon App store and and error "

For Security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in the android market."

the Check box in NookColor tools for 3rd party apps is checked.

Any ideas?

Also attempted to change the background, placed images in /media on sdcard and can not get to the images through the gallery. Where can I lace the filed for them to be seen by the Gallery?

Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
You have to uncheck and recheck.

Here's A New One

After rooting with TouchNooter, the autorotation seems to not work (at least when using Zeam as the launcher) - anyone else see this?
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Gabe would I have your permission to edit your script and recompile with my tweaks and launcherpro?

I made some additions and stuff.
[Nook Touch Android Development] lvlifeguard:
PDF viewer?

Hi, I am considering buying an N2E as a super-reader-tablet. I had a Nook Color, rooted it, and loved it, but it was stolen :-/

I really like the idea of the N2E as it would be obviously readable in sunlight, much lighter, with amazing battery life... But one big question I have is...

How well does it do reading PDFs? I liked the NC for reading PDFs, even though it was sometimes a tad on the small side, anybody rooted their N2E and tried reading PDFs with Adobe Reader or Documents To Go or anything else? Cause that is kinda a big deal for me... Thanks in advance!
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
AutoRotation would never work because the Touch doesn't have the sensors.

Eh, sure, I try to keep my Nooter's at bare minimum mods to get just the basics done.
[Nook Touch Android Development] docfreed:
Did you try recovery? Hold the power button, and press the lower right and left page turn buttons for 5 seconds, then release. This should restore to factory default condition (wipes everything). Then try to register again
[Nook Touch Android Development] truewt:
Still fails me sadly. Tried it a ridiculous number of times :(

Is there anyone who can upload their stock firmware backup for me to try flashing to?

Is that even possible? :/ I'm at my wits end..
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Uploading Factory Image to Megaupload now. If we get recovery CWR we can just flash it but until then were going to have to figure out a way to perhaps incorporate it into nooter. Gabe wanna give it a go?

Another thread informed me that factory image is device specific. Until we rule that as fact I'll, not, be uploading a factory image.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
That was my discovery and thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142740

Easy to confirm. I've done this with three N2Es, btw. Mount your rom backup and check the devconf directory. Btw, who's this "we" that "rules" ? :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] truewt:
Sorry but what do you mean by Rom backup? I have not created a backup of any sorts as of yet..

So there's no way I will be able to recover my "corrupted" stock rom?

Will rooting allow me to bypass the B&N registration though?

Thank you in advance!
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
In this instance, rom backup refers to making a "snapshot image" of your nook's internal storage before you start mucking about with it. Rooting does not bypass registration. Have you tried to trigger a factory reset?
[Nook Touch Android Development] truewt:
What I mean is, can I use my Nook without going through the B&N registration after rooting? Because as of now I can't get past the registration page.

I've trigger hardware reset multiple times and it's still not working. It's holding power + bottom left + bottom right keys for 5 seconds and "factory reset" right? Doesn't work, still fails me, at wits end, hence considering rooting!
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
See above :(

Search in Gmail and Market

I have used the TouchNooter to root and install Gapps.

Works good, but one problem is annoying: When trying to make a search from within gmail or market, I get a search field put in my text and hit search, then nothing happens.

That effectively renders market useless (unless you use market.android.com to search for apps).

Any help to get seach working in gmail and market would be appreciated.
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
I have the updated market in a link somewhere around these forums. You replace the Vending.apk and it updates the market to one that search works.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Actually if registration and setupwizard fight for priority like on the NC you could in theory skip registration but you'd lose a lot of functionality.
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
Many thanks, will try it tonight. How about searching in Gmail?
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Haven't bothered yet I noticed I couldn't even reply or forward in the gmail client. I'll look further into it tonight.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Masterface7:
Also I am using an app called SearchMarket and it works
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
The downloaded vending.apk from previous post did the trick. Thank you.

I am having tons of app shutdowns with gmail. Anyone else with that Problem? Solutions?
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
Wondering if you can replace the gmail.apk from touchnooter with a newer and more stable version as with the vending.apk.

Your thoughts.
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Already done. :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
Thanks for the gmail.apk. how to install It? Downloaded it. Opened it. Installayion starts but ends with error msg application not indstalled

Any Ideas?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
You have to push it to your /system/app folder on the Nook.

You have to push the app to the /system/app folder on the Nook. That is what I did and it opens and runs perfectly.
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
I managed to push the gmail.apk to /system/app but get an error message when I attemt adb install gmail.apk.

What is the trick here?
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
gmail.apk problem

I tried installing via adb the gmail.apk linked above. Error message is:

[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Gmail in OP is not stable.

Heeelp
[Nook Touch Android Development] Loccy:
Am curious to know what this browser offers over the stock - I installed it, but couldn't see any different behaviour. The most frustrating thing with browsers on the N2E is the way that the built-in search/URL bar basically doesn't work for entering a URL, so you can't ever go to a web page that isn't findable in Google (bit of a pain for company intranets). I'd also love to see some kind of page up/down/left/right functionality, and on-screen zoom controls (insane, given that my past Android dev experience was on the browser in G1 days and mostly devoted to ethnically cleansing the on-screen zoom controls). Maybe I'll come out of retirement...! :D

I think this URL/search bar thing that seems to be affecting the entire OS is going to be a framework thing, actually.
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
just install opera web browser and all your troubles are gone
[Nook Touch Android Development] ko0l:
Miren browser works pretty well, you can change the font size to large and it makes the sites pretty readable without zooming in. It has its own address bar and doesn't use the nook one. The best thing is that you can scroll the pages using the volume buttons.

The only problem with this along with a lot of other browsers that uses stock android rendering ie. dolphin, nook browser is that you can't zoom in with double tap (theres no way of actually zooming in) and the system doesn't apply the user agent setting in the browser for some reason. It uses the stock android one no matter what. Bug with the nook android os?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
Not a trick really, I didn't install it from there. I just removed the old gmail.apk (made a copy first) and copied the new one to the system/app directory. I didn't issue an install command. When I copied it to the system application directory it showed up in the launcher. Are you sure it copied correctly? Do you have write access to the system/app directory? If not, Google how do it or just try this from a command line on the Nook or via ADB shell:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

This will give you write access to the system. I then used Android Commander via Wifi to manipulate files on the Nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] trosen:
I did exactly what you said and it is still very unstable. When I select refresh to sync my emails, I get a refresh icon in the notification bar and after a while gmail shuts down. Mails are not refreshed when I reopen. Additional attempts to refresh will only repeat this cycle.

Does it work stable for you and is it the gmail.apk included in the touchnooter package that you are replacing?
[Nook Touch Android Development] CoolBone:
Any news as to when we might have usb ADB? I'm on a strange school wi-fi network for the next 6-7 weeks and can't exactly authenticate on the N2E. Unless someone knows how to create an ad-hoc wifi network that the N2E can actually see..
[Nook Touch Android Development] selytch:
cannot install market apps

everything went well, rooting etc

however I cannot install any market apps - they show up as incompatible...

also, once I get to nook home screen, how do I get back to launcher? - figured out this one, small triangle right side of the screen

should I be able to install market apps or did I screw up? all apps show as incompatible... - this one too, not all apps are incompatible, but browsers for some reason are...
[Nook Touch Android Development] helf:
dumb question...

Bought a Nook Touch a few hours ago. Just got home with it. I took the 16gb class6 microsdhc card out of a spare phone, wiped it, wrote the img file to it. slapped it in the nook (I already registered it with B&N and all), booted the nook up. It showed the Rooted Forever screen then when to the 'nook by Barnes & Noble' screen with the 5 activity dots. Been sitting there for about 10 minutes so far. How long should it take to boot?
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
Its booted, you'll see no more screen activity at this point. But your boot partition is now exposed when you connect via USB.
[Nook Touch Android Development] helf:
oh, yeah, its working. Thanks :D Yay.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I can refresh and retrieve my Gmail mail just fine even read, reply, and forward with the Gmail included in the latest version of TN. I've yet to experience issues at all with this Gmail so it'd be nice if we could get some logs to what exactly is happening for people who have issues doing this things.

I can release a fix for usb ADB after I get back from vacation.

I feel a need to point out the replacement Vending.apk will only work after you've done the hacks with the original vending.apk, otherwise it won't play nice and you'll be unable to use Market period, this was an issue that was discovered with AN.
[Nook Touch Android Development] bretzke:
What's the trick for doing the replacement? I renamed the old Vending.apk, copied this new one into /system/apps, changed permissions to match old one, rebooted and Market no longer works.

Tried to clear cache but the Nook Tools isn't giving the option to show all apps in Manage Applications.

Any thoughts?
[Nook Touch Android Development] 1000QA:
Hi guys

Thanks for posting the TouchNooter.

I followed the instructions and my nook seem to be ok, I can install apps from the market. Now I need to install non-market applications. Ciuld please someone help me with instructions to install and .apk file?

I guess that is must be done using Superuser but I can't figure out how...

thanks in advance for your help

[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
In NookColor Tools deselect and reselect non Market installs

Is there any way to disable Animation on a N2E rooted?

I do feel that this will save batery life (not so many refreshes) and it will improve the performance of some applications

You could use SpareParts and turn them off.

I'm personally having issues with Wireless settings, which decided to give me a long black screen for a while then brings me to the Wireless settings but is unable to detect any networks nor turn off/on Wireless without just rebooting itself.

Another thing is, how do we get the Honeycomb's System Bar like the one made for NookColor's Gingerbread? It'll make navigation a whole lot more easier.
[Nook Touch Android Development] falsehope66:
Did it eventually reboot fully after 10 mins or did you power it off and boot again?

B&N Store Access

Has any one ran into this issues after TouchNooter Rooting. All went well when rooting, I have been using market and gmail for about 2 weeks, works great. However this weekend I tried going to the B&N store and when I go to browse it just comes back to the the B&N home screen without accesing the categories in the B&N store. I can search the store and see the B&N top 100 but not able to browse for books.
[Nook Touch Android Development] cymoze:
I have this problem exactly. Pressing "Shop" takes me to the shop screen for just a second or so and then I'm kicked out back to the screen I was at before. I can search for a book, no problem. But browsing for books in the shop is a no go on my rooted Touch.

I noticed someone at MobileRead is having the same problem, on I'm assuming what is

not

a rooted Nook Touch.
[Nook Touch Android Development] lesdense:
I posted this in another XDA Nook-related thread but there seems to be more activity here. I bought my Nook Touch yesterday and rooted it according to posted instructions. It all went well but now I've got several questions.

This rooted Nook Touch is running off the micro SD card, I presume (my rooted Nook Color runs CM7 on internal memory). If I swap out the nooter card for a generic micro SD the Touch boots to stock. If I reinstall a custom ROM on a faster micro SD will it have a meaningful effect on the speed of my Nook Touch installation (refresh rate and such)?

My 2gb micro SD shows as being a tiny fraction of that size -- a consequence of burning the nooter image I guess. Could I have burned the image in such a way that it would have retained the full size of the card but still generated the bootable image I need?

I have Market but, even though I can type in the Search box I can't make it actually search for apps. Is this a known problem or am I overlooking something?

I can't find a way to use my own images as wallpapers. I'd be happy to have NO wallpaper just to have the most readable homescreens. Anybody figure out how to do either one?

I'm no longer a complete noob at this stuff but just barely. All wisdom welcomed.
[Nook Touch Android Development] cymoze:
AFAIK, no, the TouchNooter image is burned to internal memory and does not run off the microSD. Maybe try to restore to factory settings and then reinstall TouchNooter?

You'll need to install the Vending(new).apk found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992242. You can either push it via ADB or one thing that also seemed to work for me is to copy it to my micro SD card after I'd burned the TouchNooter image to the card. I went to the system/app folder and renamed Vending.apk to Vending.apk.bak and then renamed Vending(new).apk to Vending.apk and copied it to system/app. Then I did a fresh load of the rom to the Touch.

After I did this, I could click on the Market, but it wouldn't connect, saying it couldn't find the server. This problem lasted around 12 hours or so, and then it finally connected just fine, and I could search and everything. YMMV.

I went into the Market and downloaded a free app called "Colors" wallpaper, which is just monontone wallpapers. I put the white one as my background.
[Nook Touch Android Development] homesik_alien:
I've rooted my Nook Touch and have successfully signed in with my Google account. However, when I tried to download an app from the market it is stuck at "Starting download..." no matter what or how many apps I tried to download. Anyway to resolve this? Thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] elessarelfstar:
I don't have a Nook Touch, but this looks similar to a common issue when rooting or installing on android phones (or it could be the very same issue).

I'm pretty sure this is what you want, but since I don't have a touch you might want to ask around or wait for confirmation.

It's usually resolved by going into Applications in the settings (I think it's under "Nook tools" or something in the app drawer on a rooted nook).

1. Scroll down to market, click, and press "force stop" and then "clear cache"

2. Back out to the Applications list and scroll up (I think it's up from there) to Google framework, and press, and press "force stop" and then "clear data" (it will warn you not to, but to it anyway).

3. Back out, and then reboot.

Now when you go back to the market you should be good.
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Must be missing something here but after booting with the SD in I get "Rooted Forever", then a progress screen with the "moving points" and it lasts forever and doesn't go any further. Some on/off action finally got that sorted.

Stuck on trying to search the market though, looks like it's a known problem, but all the fixes I tried have broken the market, so had to restore a clean image and reroot with TN.

Any workaround to get Market seaches working on the NT? Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] RSchmauk:
I'm having the same problem with the market, stuck in search or while downloading apps. I can't installit again, since I don't have any file manager yet... Youtube stopped warking too, and again, I can't reinstallit.
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
It's a pain but restoring a fresh image and then reapplying TN got everything working for me again...except the search. I sideloaded OperaMini and went to Appbrain as I read that it launched the market when downloading, but no such luck so far.

Also need to get WiFi AdHoc working, will look into the Gscript method uses for the NC.
[Nook Touch Android Development] snooginsguy:
I had the same problem with the Shop not working with Touchnooter, and ended up un-rooting to get the Shop function back. It'd be great if there was a fix for this, I liked having it rooted otherwise!
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
Hi is a 2gb SD card not big enough for the img file? I keep getting "Not enough space" from the win32diskimager
[Nook Touch Android Development] collins521:
Does this normally make it where you can't use the default nook software to view your library and read books? It keeps saying I need to put in my credit card that I bought the books for but when I do it doesn't fix it. Do I have to download the nook app through the market and just use that?
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
I didn't try the shop, I was referring to the fact that the B&N software takes over the search for the Android Market. I'm surprised no one running TN has a problem with that?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mdall:
Have you tried the modified Vending.apk ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
Hi! To restore the original Nook firmware, I just have to do the left+right button reset?
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
strange that win32diskimager works only with the old version 0.1

maybe put this in the first post?

anyway how long does it take to root? I saw the rooted forever and it's ;p taking forever, like 15 minutes of the 5 blinking dots
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Same problem here, the dots never end, I had some luck holding on/off for 5+ seconds to get it to reboot and the second time it works...more or less, after a couple of days I've lost YouTube (not sure how to reinstall from \data\app, I pulled it from ADB but can't reinstall as it's already installed) and the top menu has stopped responding. Not sure if it's a problem with the script not ending properly or other bugs but TN doesn't seem to be a viable option at this time. Will try xboxexpert's script here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132292

[Nook Touch Android Development] Skilover:
Is there a reason we cannot create the image file on a Mac, using the same approach as for Nook Color?
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Reading in landscape? How do you do that?

I'm a bit lost as to what I need to do to get the Android Market working, neither TouchNooter or the xboxexpert scripts work properly for me! The first never boots and the second doesn't have a working market/gmail...
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
Where can I find the stock ROM again? from what I read it's the same process as rooting correct? flash with the img and boot with it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
anyone saw what's the impact on battery life? Wondering what Android processes are running in the background. e.g. my gmail kept syncing, and I can't find the normal Sync settings to turn it off.
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Looks like you're up and running, how did you get past the "15 minutes of the 5 blinking dots" ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
Hi! I just turned it off, and let it try again. the second time was really quick, about a minute only.
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Ok, will try that then. Are you able to search the Android Market or does the default search take over?
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
not sure where this fits:

- Moon+reader works except for right-touch (the screen blinks but doesn't work) lower right button works.

- cool ebook reader, works except I can't choose text encoding.

- jjcomics: works but no g-sensor in Nook. decently fast.

- ACV: works

- gmail: works, syncs, can't disable sync yet.

will be trying:

- ES file manager

- font changer (how to use?)

- Adobe PDF viewer (the latest one is v good, just no bookmarking)

- seesmic

- opera mobile

I'm using www.androidzoom.com to generate Market URLs to my email. Feels roundabout but once you're in androidzoom it's like shopping :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] denizenx:
Wishlist would be a gamma adjuster (like Kindle's) to adjust the intermediate grey levels to darker or lighter.

Some of the text items like jjcomics' folder listing cannot be read because it's too light.
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
ok, restarting again did let me boot and gmail and the market are functional. I'm saving this "clean" image and will then try to update the Market to a version that allows for searching.
