From what i was reading today it was because of an on-going disagreement with the boutique record producer that made the song/video. There are issues over merchandising rights/licensing etc.

Hi there!

I hope i'm not opening a repeated thread. I've search ( not correctly i think ) but i couldn't find any significant answer.

I've recently installed MIUI on my defy...

Now i want to install cyanogenmod and i'd like to know whether i can flash over miui without losing any data nor app.

Or should i have to downgrade to Froyo, lose ( surely i'll do a backup ) all my data, root my phone, install SndInit Defy and flash cm7?

Thus, what i have to do?

Thanks,

regards.
[Defy General] drfakeacc:
Well.. it won't brick your phone if you try to install the rom just by applying and wiping cache/dalvik only. I wouldn't recommend it, but you could give it a try. Do a backup first.

But despite that, I don't see that making a backup of the important apps and data via Titanium and applying that afterwards is so much work.
[Defy General] 57op:
You see, the problem is that once i try to restore all apps from Titanium, it always ask the permission ( i.e. if i want to install the app or not )! It doesn't do a silent-install.

It's such a boring thing tapping "Install" for over 60 times :\.

Am i wrong or is there a way to do a silent restore of all backups?
[Defy General] bioan:
Wipe data and cache from Custom Recovery and then flash CM7 without rebooting after wiping.
[Defy General] kaninabu:
In Titanium Backup, Menu > Batch > ...
[Defy General] 57op:
I'll try it.

Yes, from there!

I choose to restore all lost apps + data, he always ask me if i want to install any single app...

-

I've read that only Titanium Backup Pro has this feature... I'm disappointed :\.
[Defy General] abhifx:
i wanted to know this too.

i am on cm7 and updating it is a cake.... i wanted to know if i can do the same interchangeably with cMIUI.

since both the roms are still developing. trying each and restoring backup is a pain.

any advice?
[Defy General] hclaveria:
I have used both and I am currently coming back to CM7.

MIUI is somewhat frustrating for me, constant forceclose on the most basic apps and every update requires some kind of retinkering to get it back to work correctly (like reinstalling gapps and Ti).

Also, i dont like the stock MIUI apps such as dialer, messenger and contacts. I know that I can replace them but its a custom ROM and it think it should be optimal out of the box. I can deal with replacing one but at least three are too many for me.

I know this wasnt supposed to be a review but i wouldn't bother replacing CM7 with MIUI.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
Nice Job !
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Thank you, I put ALOT of effort into the script portion. Its pretty much flawless for what it does.
[Nook Touch Android Development] AidenM:
Nice job. Looks really professional.
[Nook Touch Android Development] redbluff:
Thanks for doing this. Not and ADB expert so this really helped!!
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Your very welcome :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
Here's my workflow, feel free to use any of it you find useful. Since it's personal code, no error checking, etc. The directory /system/xbin is already in the path, but not present on the device -- I create it. adbWireless is very handy, it allows you to turn adbd off or on, a useful security addition for wifi. bash & busybox aren't required, but can make your life at the console a lot easier.

xboxexpert asked me to remove my code from his thread. Done.
[Nook Touch Android Development] vojcas:
Nice job!

Nice job, well done..

Only thing - missing pause at the end of the script after reboot and kill-server..
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
It freezes at the end of the script due to rebooting the device...adb doesn't know how to handle wifi reboots so it just crashs dos. It is its own pause...you'll see.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Xhorder:
Which part of the script turns off the windows transitions and animations?

(I've done most of these things already, but I'm wondering what you mean by this item)
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Sorry I deleted that portion from the actual script. I just forgot to update post.
[Nook Touch Android Development] aruangra:
Is the installation of Gapps and Market included in the script?
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Not yet...since you actually have to do some work for that to work.

All FAIL, through given webrowser

PLEASE, a lil how to actually "use" (abuse) a rooted nook?
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Download my kit. In the main directory there is the adb.exe here are some of the commands laid out for you to utilize

adb connect IP

Where the IP is is where you put the ip address of the nook. ie. 192.168.1.8

It will connect to the nook and you will be able to type

adb shell

Verify that # is what you see. type exit to exit adb.

Put any apk files in the directory and then type

adb install APKFILE.apk

It will install the apk file on your nook.

I hope I helped

adb disconnect (disconnects the nook)

adb kill-server (kills the server and quits all running processes of adb.exe)

adb reboot (reboots the nook if connected)
[Nook Touch Android Development] dinguznomad:
okeedokey

I was thinking with this I could avoid any manual adb

or

nooktools or superuser had some secret explorer/APK launcher

Has anyone tried out the Kobo, Sony Reader, or Overdrive apps and had any luck?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
Overdrive seems to work just fine...

I have it installed and it appears to operate correctly. However, I have never used it before. It launches the crippled default browser when connecting to my library and this can be problematic to browse and download content. I would think everything would work smoothly when using an alternative web browser.
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
Thanks for the response...but I listed 3 apps, which one did you get to try?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
Re: Overdrive seems to work just fine...

Overdrive, I had written it in the subject heading.

I have not tried Kobo or Sony apps.
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
Gotcha, didn't see that. Thanks :)

I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail (dang Canada mail strike), but when it does I'll do a video with all the reader apps if someone hasn't already
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
I'll try Kobo, Sony Reader, and Overdrive when I get home and post my results. I'm also going to add to my script the ability to add Volume Up and Down to the left buttons for use with Kindle.
[Nook Touch Android Development] stelph:
I, for one, would appreciate that as it would be good to see how well these apps work on the nook (is it the first ereader not to be tied down in one e-reader ecosystem).

I'm also looking forward to seeing people expand into testing other apps as well, perhaps an RSS reader as well like gReader? Would quite like to get some games running as well for a bit of fun between books :-) simple ones obviously like Jewels or opensoduku or maybe even a strategy game or two (Uniwar jumps to mind)

Thanks for the script, really need to get a NT now! Are there instructions to go back to stock?

Oh and can WiFi be made to work in AdHoc mode? Need that to conect to my iPad running MyWi.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Loccy:
Two totally unrelated points.

1) You give instructions for the Mac then tell us to run a Windows batch file. In a word, "errrm?". I ran the adb stuff by hand but those less Android savvy might get themselves into trouble - you might want to consider that in your first post.

2) I gave FBReaderJ a whirl and it works quite nicely - but the problem I did have was that I couldn't persuade it to ever do a full e-ink refresh (i.e. the big black flash) meaning that as time went on, the screen got more and more muddy. Do any of the devs out there know what triggers a refresh? Is there some kind of algorithm that fires a refresh if more than X pixels change state? Is there something you can do to fire it manually? FBReaderJ is open source so I might have a crack at modding us a Simple Touch specific version.
[Nook Touch Android Development] rev0l:
just press the n button on the device twice (open and close the default launcher).

This will refresh the whole screen.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jmgazer:
Seemed to work well, takes some fiddling to get the display you want, the Home button on button savior gets you to the android display, the N button to Nook stuff. Once I installed an explorer app, I sideload gobs of free apps easily.

Worked OK on my new ST. I really only wanted a reader, but had to try it, just because.

now to get calibre working.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
Calibre works great with it!

Calibre works great with it! The latest version includes native support for the Nook Touch!
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Is it better to make the buttons Volume up and Volume down rather then menu/back?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Michael.Rose:
When transferring books from my desktop to the Nook using Calibre I really don't think any button change is necessary. All the books I transferred (ePubs) show up in the library, work in the default Nook reader, and behave just like any other native ebooks on the device.

You may want to change the buttons for other applications, like Kindle or Aldiko, but since Calibre is for organizing content on your computer and transferring it to your eReader, no changes are necessary.
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Sweet.....Updated OP to include framework for auto generating android ID.

Enjoy
[Nook Touch Android Development] painter_:
Good job on the instructions.

Could the OP add in the thread title that this is for the Nook Touch. This may eliminate the confusion when someone tries to do this on the Nook Color. We all know how well people read.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Loccy:
Given that I rooted and set up with the earlier version of this script (without market), is there a simple way to add in the market stuff from where I am now, or is it a case of restoring to factory settings and starting from scratch?
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Just run the script as you did before. You can run it multiple times it doesn't do anything harmful.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Loccy:
Bearing in mind I'm on a Mac, so manually running the commands from the batch file by hand - have run the bit about the market, rebooted, have tried signing in via YouTube but get network errors across any Gapps. Is there anything else in the script, or the ramdisk, that needs to be taken into account versus what I've installed based on the older version of the script?

In the end, I went into recovery, did a reset and used TouchNooter instead, and now have working market. However, as has been mentioned in the other thread, recovery doesn't do a total wipe. One of the things I've still got hanging around is the keyboard this seems to install, which I hate with a passion and think the stock keyboard is infinitely better. However, the usual Android input and keyboard settings don't seem to be there on the touch. Any idea how I get the stock keyboard back?
[Nook Touch Android Development] aruangra:
You can choose a keyboard in Nookcolor Tools. How did you reset your device? Power plus lower left and right page button?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Loccy:
Yep, power plus lower left and right. This only seems to kill the data partition, again, as others have remarked on the other thread. Keyboard-wise I now only seem to be offered the "multitouch keyboard", which I assume is this non-stock keyboard I now have that that leaves scattered pixels all over the place.
[Nook Touch Android Development] xboxexpert:
Give me a second

So attached is the stock keyboard.

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/LatinIME.apk
[Nook Touch Android Development] Loccy:
Awesome, many many thanks.

would rooting allow me to bypass the B&N registration?

I encountered the problem of my Nook not registering on B&N after performing a hard reset (I believe I corrupted the firmware) and now on stock Nook STR I encounter the repeated errors of not being able to register, asking me to contact support. That being done, nothing good came out of it, and I am looking towards rooting to get past the pesky registration.

Skip Oobe (Out-of-box Experience)

While on the Factory screen, tap the lower right corner of the screen while holding Volume Up button.

A grey "Skip Oobe" button appears. Tap it to completely bypass the video, time zone, Wi-Fi and B&N registration process.

Now the above is for the Nook Color but I'm guessing it would work somehow on the Nook Touch. While holding the top left button Tap the hell out of the screen there HAS to be a skip registration area you can hit. If it doesnt work with the top left button try the top right and bottom left and bottom right. Its against the law to FORCE someone to accept/signup for service for an item you just bought unless you've signed an agreement.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jocala:
It's a bonehead move on B&Ns part, not to include a prominent reg. skip. A real flaw in an otherwise great device.

[Nook Touch Android Development] Edvard_Greig:
I'm having a bit of an issue with mine- I received my N2E, I had initially rooted it via some manual instructions via nook devs, got it rooted successfully, installed the kindle app, and Button Savior. I never got a chance to install ADW or any other launcher so I was kinda stuck.

I then ran across this script, re-ran the 'root', and then ran the script...the first time the apps failed to install at the end, but I ran it again and everything seemed (seems) fine in that regard. It pops up with LauncherPro as the home screen etc.

However, I've encountered a few problems:

1. When using the android side or any of the non-OOTB apps the keyboard flickers a ton...will replacing it with the stock android keyboard fix that?

2. Wifi works just fine when I'm in the Nook home screen, or via those settings, but whenever I try and connect to gmail etc it times out. Because of this I can't login with my gmail account to e-mail, market etc etc. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] transpec:
Followed your guide and it worked perfectly, only problem I have at all is that market, gmail, etc, apps don't function but that is ok as I downloaded the few things I wanted over the internet. I highly recommend sweeterhome over launcher pro though, the spring boards are amazing on the ST and you can customize it however you wish, it hardly lags at all compared to the other launchers. Also, the screen flicker with keyboards is the button fly out, some of them have the option to shut it off, it still will flicker a little from the key presses though, the e-ink just can't handle a lot of graphics at once. Thanks for the kit!
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Same problem here, were you able to fix it?

Another problem I'm having, and maybe that's what messing up the rest (gmail, market) is that the NST reboots after

* Setting application permissions to 644 *

so the apps can't get installed. Rerunning the script a second time does not generate any errors though, anyone else?

When I install via ADB (adb install vending.apk), I get an error message :

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb install vending.apk
384 KB/s (2123059 bytes in 5.390s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/vending.apk

What's the trick to make that work? Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] mdall:
Try

adb push Vending.apk /system/app/
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Thanks, and then reboot to make it effective?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mdall:
Yes, like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9865564
[Nook Touch Android Development] webvan:
Thanks, link saved.

Now to find a version of vending.apk that works with TouchNooter and allows search! All those I've tried so far have broken it (no access to server) and I had to restore my backup "rooted" image. I had renamed the original vending.apk to vending.apk.old, but renaming to vending.apk and rebooting didn't restore the original TN one for some reason.

Trouble with my market

I'm unable to use my Market on the Simple Touch. I ran the script and everything is awesome, except for the fact that when I open my market, I can browse through apps, but I can't search. When I click on the search button, it opens the keyboard and lets me type in the box. Then when I hit the little magnifying glass 'go' button at the keyboard's bottom right, the keyboard disappears and nothing else happens. It doesn't actually search the Market.

The keyboard is able to fill in forms and execute functions in other things like the browser.

Any ideas?
[Nook Touch Android Development] rev0l:
you need to replace the market ;)
[Nook Touch Android Development] meltwater:
Just caught this on the Portal....recently been looking at a ereader and it was between the Nook and Kobo...the decision was to be based on availability and the kobo might have won (if by a slim chance I could get one in the next two weeks, Nook not available here) but seeing this....wow!

Just the ability to use android software on it is a winner for me, I'm not expecting playing games or using most things, but you can program for it easy (and reuse the same app elsewhere too). The kobo is linux based so I guess you can do similar but with a lot more leg work.

I realise now I read it elsewhere too, but I thought they'd confused themselves with the Color nook.

Now how the hell do I get one????? Oh non-US are not allowed, now that REALLY stinks!

This whole "not outside the US" is really annoying me now, the hardware is excellent value (just like the Color) so why can't you buy one!
[Nook Touch Android Development] mdall:
I live in France and I have ordered one.

In fact, I used a VPN to make the order on the B&N website (Edit : not necessary) and a forwarding company that received the Nook in the US and sent it to me in Europe. (more information in this thread at mobileread: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59930)

But I won't be able to return it if there is a problem and it is a little expensive (40-50$ shipping fees + several taxes ...)
[Nook Touch Android Development] meltwater:
Sounds good, will work out if it is worth it for what I want with the additional shipping, but looks like there is a way at least.

I suppose once you've opened up the Android on it, at least you have a broad range of options regarding sources for ebooks, which perhaps makes up for the price over say the Kobo Touch. The additional costs is annoying though, $139 out the box is just a steel. Here in the UK, the Sony Touch ereader is about $300!

If I get lucky I might have a friend travelling over to the US at some point, which would be the ideal solution.
[Nook Touch Android Development] rev0l:
same here, but you dont need a vpn!

i ordered it with my german billing address and without use of a vpn,

paid over paypal and set the delivery address to a borderlinx (virtual) address

with taxes, import fees and delivery, i paid 240-250$ for the nook and a case (30$).
[Nook Touch Android Development] gekas:
Good to know that it's not a big deal to order the device from / to Germany.

But, what makes me curious: How do you handle the limitation of only being able to buy in the B&N store with a US IP-adress / credit card? Are you using a different source? Or is it even possible to use the nook store (on the device) with VPN and paypal?
[Nook Touch Android Development] rev0l:
you can buy books at b&n online store with an us credit card and an us ip-address,

but i dont use it, you can add adobe-drm/non drm books. with root you can use the kindle or kobo app to read books, so its an all-in-one device ;)
[Nook Touch Android Development] meltwater:
By being able to run android on it, it means you have your pick of android book apps, if you buy lots of books, it means you can save by shopping around. No other eReader allows that (and I know I would hate paying more for the same book simply due to which store the reader uses).

Planning on getting one for the UK.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jahfaby:
How long did you need to wait for the nook? How long are the delivery times via borderlinx?

I hope to get mine in august. Friends of mine will travel to the states.
[Nook Touch Android Development] guitar_east:
Another option I used (Although I live in Canada) is shopereaders.com. It took a little over a month to come, but that was with a 2 week postal strike we had over here. If there's a problem you can return it to them, they have responsive support.

Also, I've mentioned in a previous thread, but the Kobo app seems to not be working correctly on this device. If you load up a sample of a book from the Kobo store it'll work, but with purchased books it says it can't load, gives a generic error. In addition, when you try to search in the Kobo store it reboots the device. The Kindle and Overdrive apps work great though :D
