[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch​

I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.

What it does:

Enables ADB via uRamdisk

Installs adbWireless

Installs Button Savior

Installs NookTouch Tools

Installs Amazon Marketplace

Installs su and Superuser.apk

Installs ADW + E-ink Friendly Theme

Installs Busybox & Busybox Installer/Uninstaller

Installs Gapps (Gmail, Market, Youtube, Others)

Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)

System Files that get Modified:

/system/build.prop - Enabling Google Check In

packages.xml - Allows Gapps to install properly.

framework.jar - Should allow a proper Android ID to generate.

Before you begin:

You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch

You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.

You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.

You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Using the Nook Simple Touch can result in it becoming unusable (bricked).

You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.

Let's get started:

Download TouchNooter from here: touchnooter-2-1-31.zip - Uploaded

Linux: Unzip and use dd if=touchnooter-xx-xx-xx.img of=/dev/sdcard (where xx-xx-xx is the version number)

Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.

Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download

If you wish to use Underclocking follow these steps

Download Underclock.zip from uploaded attachments

Unzip it and place the data folder in /nooter/

Check that the com.antutu.CpuMasterFree folder is in the /nooter/data/data folder

Check that com.antutu.CpuMasterFree.apk is in /nooter/data/app

Power off your Nook Simple Touch.

Insert TouchNooter SDcard into your Nook Simple Touch.

Power on your Nook Simple Touch.

You should see the new TouchNooter boot screen, follow all instructions.

That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.

Upon boot unlock your screen.

At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.

Enable Location Services when given the option.

Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from ADW's App Drawer (Or the App Drawer of your Choice).

Click the Menu button (The right one in the middle of the status bar).

Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.

Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from ADW's App Drawer.

Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)

At this time Market fails and you must wait up to a day. Just check it every so often. Future updates should fix this.

Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.

If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.

Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.

If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app

Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
