[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbmungan:
I am a noob and recently rooted my NC, which was on B&N firmware version 1.2, with Manual nooter 4.6.16. It was working fine. I was able to access Market and download and install apps. However, today I discovered that the B&N firmware had been updated to 1.3 overnight while I had my NC plugged in for charging. Some of my previously installed android apps are still working, but now I no longer have access to market. Can I re-install Manual nooter 4.6.16 on my 1.3 NC and regain access to Market?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbmungan:
Manual nooter works for NC 1.3

Based on some other threads, I went and re-installed Manual nooter 4.6.16 on my 1.3 updated NC via CWM, and it appears to be working just fine. Market and google apps are back. Apps that I had moved to my SD card, which I was unable to see when the NC was updated to 1.3, were once again visible and able to be used. I was even able to overclock the cpu to 1.2GHz by downloading update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-063011.zip, and then running SetCPU, which I downloaded from Market. At the moment, all is well with the world.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
There's an updated OC kernel for 1.3 if you want to update to it.

To the OP - there doesn't seem to be a standard answer. For some, it's simply a matter of reapplying MN. For others (like me), I had to apply MN 4-5-18 first and then MN 4-6-16, for some strange reason.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
Another question: how does one enable installation of non-market apps in 1.3 (rooted as per above)? I can't seem to find a chechbox menu in settings.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Did you check under Development in Settings?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgman:
Root nook working after 1.3 push with 4-5-18 and 4-6-16

Thanks for the tip about 4-5-18, then 4-6-16. I still had 4-6-16 on my SD card and ran that after 1.3 was installed and the market still didn't work.

I also discovered, which I'm sure the experience folks here already know, that I couldn't apply, 4-5-18, then apply 4-6-16. I had to apply 4-5-18, reboot, log in with my gmail ID. Then shutdown and apply 4-6-16. All is well now.

Interesting part of all this for me, was that 1.0.1 was the only install that's been pushed to my NC. Ever since then I've expected them to push and break it, but despite being on wifi all the time at home, 1.1, and 1.2 were never pushed automatically. I was beginning to think BN wasn't pushing to rooted nooks. Oh well, learned the truth with this push, but thanks to the posts here, not a big deal.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
Yep. I know that's in the instructions I posted on the general board. Not sure exactly if it's in the MN thread or not... But thanks for reinforcing the point for others!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
I did, and still don't see a chechbox toggling the install of non market apps. Is it "allow mock locations"?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NormLondon:
Non Market Apps

You should be able to check for non market apps by running the Nook Color Tools. On my manual nooted 1.3, I discovered that the check box was there, but the label was not. (It was there under 1.2). The manual nooter is supposed to set the check box, but I had problems initially. I fixed the problem by unchecking the box, rebooting and rechecking the box (probably overkill, but it worked).

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgman:
Guess I spoke too soon. My NC worked after 4-5-18 then 4-6-16, but after downloading a couple flash card apps, its back to the old behavior. Market closes immediately on open - is broke again. I'll rerun the installs, but wonder if other folks have seen this.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
Thanks - if only I could boot back into 1.3 - as after rebooting I am stuck at the rainbow Nook dev splash screen :( It seems my boot became corrupted, so I used CWM 3.0.2.8 SD to factory wipe and restore a nandroid backup made before everything crapped out - to no avail, still am stuck at the same splash screen after restoring. Followed all the instructions: installed 1.3, manual nootered x 2, fixed permissions... rooted stock just doesn't seem to agree with my Nook. Will go back to running CM7 off SD.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
You rebooted after each step right? 1.3 -reboot - MN 4.5.18 - reboot - MN 4.6.16 - reboot - fix permissions.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brlarue:
I ran the 4-5-18 and when it said complete I ran 4-6-16. I rebooted and it works as advertised. Am I going to have some issues pop up later? I am able to install apps from the market and do everything I normally do. I could not find the setting regarding allowing non market apps. I was going to go through all the settings, but I couldn't figure out how to make the tool return to the main page once I viewed a particular setting. There was no return function that I could figure out.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
The non-market setting is the check box with no label at the top of the page when you open nook color tools. If it's checked, uncheck it, then check it again. And no there isn't really a return.

As far as whether you'll have issues - no telling. I had just posted what had worked for me. If it's working, you're in good shape for now.

So the SNES emulator in the marketplace is fantastic. It runs super smooth, and will register more than one button press at a time!

But all the button skins are landscape, which makes them way spread out across your Touchpad. The odd thing is that there are options for portrait mode, but none of the skins work in portrait mode.

I was wondering if someone knows how we can get more skins added to this, or suitable alternatives. I can create a png overlay, but I'm sure there is a little more involved in this.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] viper98:
smooth?

not really
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] tiny17:
Don't know what you're running but mine is running without any frame-dip issues. Buttery smooth. Maybe that is because you haven't done all the patches/hacks?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] stevo11:
agreed, preferably a skin with smaller buttons. it feels like the aspect ratio of the skins are ideal for a phone (when shrunk down) but on a tablet it is WAY too big (try doing a running jump in mario, ridiculously hard)
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] luisdg:
Mine runs just fine without hacks except those damn skins! I can't wait until they port android to this thing. :p
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Flapjack:
Agree with the comment that the buttons are sized/spaced for a phone. On the touchpad, they are way too far apart.

Anyone come up with a good touchpad skin yet?

Oh, and mine is buttery smooth as well. No hacks... just installed right from the catalog.

Hello,

I would like to record my phone conversations. I was told that in phone recording of calls is called "native call recording" and is far superior to other types which leverage the microphone to try and listen for sound coming through the speaker vs intercepting the actual call. Was hoping someone could tell me how this can be done?

Posts concerning legality/wiretapping not appropriate here.

Very Respectfully,

Garrett
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
one of the custom roms in the dev section does provide 2 way call recording.

But unfortunately he has not provided the patch for it so that u wouldn't need to change ur ROM.

On the other hand though ive heard that the patch doesn't work with the stock kernel anyways....

Thanks. Anyone know if any dev's are looking to make this part of their custom ROMS?

It really depends on what Asus decides they want to do security-wise. I know with the Evo a lot of people took certain OTAs and ended up making their phone un-rootable. In my experience, it's best to let the OTA ride for a couple of days and check back here or other dev hotspots to see if anybody is having trouble with them. You can always wait a little while for an update, and it's safer to have somebody else who isn't as wise do the testing.

Maybe not all card readers are supported.

And you don't need to mount it, if it works it works.

Does it light up?

Do you have a file manager?

With my card reader I have to first put the card in the reader then plug it into the usb. If I plug in the card reader with no card in it and then insert a card in it it does not even come up as usb_storage.

So try putting the card in first and plugging in the USB.

Then it lights up and flickers which means it is reading what is on the card.

Then in my file manager, (file manager HD) I click storage on the left then click the up arrow on the top right. Then I see the usb_storage and click on it.
