I am not responsible for any damage your nook suffers.

Officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch

http://code.google.com/p/nooter/​

MinimalTouch 1.1beta5

Information:

What it does:

Enables ADB via uRamdisk

Installs su and Superuser.apk

Installs Busybox and sqlite3

All zips install ADW launcher + NookColorTools + MinimalisticBlack theme + Minimalistic Text Widget + Button Savior with eink friendly skins.

Bugs:

Two step method (necessary to avoid the 1+ day wait time on market).

Future updates:

(In order of priority)

Block automatic updates (Accidentally taken off on last update).

Officially make it compatible with 1.1.2

Check /system version and proceed install, if not force update to 1.1.2

Make a 1 step process.

Automatically backup and zip /factory to SDcard, to avoid having to make a full backup before rooting, and to use in conjunction with Touch-Formatter

Minimal zips install my stripped down repack of Gapps.

Fulltouch zips include the complete package of Gapps.

All W zips install ADB wireless Uramdisk.

All U zips install ADB USB Uramdisk + ADB widget to enable wireless adb at need.

All X zips include NookTouchTools + Xorzone's mods, for more details on this, read (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289894).

All beta5 in conjunction with Unroot.zip include a way to backup and restore the original files modified by the rooting process, and delete all apps installed after rooting.

Unroot restores the original files modified and deletes all installed programs after or during the rooting process (only use with beta5).

Files that get Modified:

/boot/uRamdisk - enables ADB over wifi or usb

/system/build.prop - enables google check-in service and fakes signature, to enable protected apps on market

/data/system/packages.xml - enables Gapps to work correctly once installed

/system/framework/framework.jar - generates Android ID

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db - enables Non-Market Installs

Also on X files:

/system/framework/services.jar

/system/framework/android.policy.jar
