Well, you can set distinct profiles for different situation on SetCPU. In my case, I have three profiles:

1. Opera Mobile ((Min. & max. clock freq. to 800 MHz, governor=performance, no scheduler checked) => priority 100

3. Screen On (Min. & max. clock freq. to 800 MHz, governor=userspace, no scheduler checked) => priority 99

4. Screen Off (Min. & max. clock freq. to 300 MHz, governor=conservative, no scheduler checked) => priority 98

For NoRefresh I just change the settings manually, I created a shortcut to the app on the main screen. It's not worth creating a script switcher. By the way, for better performance with NoRefresh reduce from 400 to 200 the "Auto Activate Time Window" (I modified the xml preferences tags for this app to have this setting on 150 but it has to be tested).

Also, I recommend you to use the "Reading Now Button" on the left side of the main status bar as "Orientation Switch". You can do that with Nook Touch Tools.

On the other hand, if you can afford buy a good task killer as "Advanced Task Killer Pro by Rechild", I recommend you to auto kill app when screen is off. (Note:Some task killer drain the battery, that the reason I recommend you Advanced Task Killer). Also, uninstall "Super Manager" and "Amazon Market", both drain the battery.

Hello

I have a problem with rooting, it's almost the same as described below (last post):

http://androidforums.com/simple-touch-all-things-root/502513-no-guides.html

Difference is that my NST freezes at the "Your NOOK is starting up..." screen.

What to do now? What am I doing wrong?

Need help please.
[Nook Touch Android Development] tj_f:
I too had this problem when first rooted my Nook... Restore to stock and try the root again.

Kuskro

I followed your instructions and the results have been great. Many thanks. The only thing I can't find is how to manually change norefresh settings. Where do I find them?
[Nook Touch Android Development] kuskro:
I've left this instructions for those who need help to downgrade from a 1.2.x to a 1.1.2 their NST and install TouchNooter 2.1.31. Also, I've included some good tweaks to optimize your NST.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Inside application drawer you find two shotcuts, choose the one named "NoRefresh Settings".

BTW Maxthon Browser v.2.7.3.1000 flies on this rom (NoRefresh does not work with it but we can use the maxthon zoom and scrolling tools instead). Find it enclosed.

Best.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apap:
Thanks again. I can't find norefresh settings in app drawer ( just toggle). Do I need to install separately?
[Nook Touch Android Development] kuskro:
Reinstall the app: NoRefresh.apk

Or, modify the settings manually on /data/data/com.eink.norefresh/shared_prefs/com.eink.norefresh_preferences.xml
[Nook Touch Android Development] apap:
Reinstall did the trick! Many thanks!

Just got my Nook, went through the whole process of dowgrading to 1.1 and installed NookTouch.

However when i load up market i get this error

a server has occured. please retry or cancel and return to the previous screen.

help!
[Nook Touch Android Development] cowbutt:
Uninstall the updates for the Google Play Market, then, quickly, install a random free app from the downgraded version.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Geordie Boyo:
how do i uninstall the updates from the google play market?
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
Go the the app list in ReLaunch, long press on the Market and tap on uninstall.
[Nook Touch Android Development] KejPi:
I have exactly the same problem with market but I di not know, how to go to recent app list. I have tried to long press on market icon on desktop, then selecting uninstall from popup menu -> uninstall and it failed.

I have followed the procedure to apply Touchnooter waited for about 30 minutes but it never flashed black. So I hsve removed sd card a rebooted and after unlocking the screen android welcome wizard appeared as desribed in the procedure. So I continued following the procedure logged to my channel in youtube - success, launched Gmail - refresh - success, launched Market, accepted terms - and failure message as in post above.

I am affraid that I am somehow in the middle of process, it seems my NST is rooted, ADW launcher is running, some buttons in the middle of right edge of screen are present (by the way - what is it? How can it be configured?) According to relaunch documentation relaunch should be started by nook button - shop but if I do that nothing happens :( I have tried to apply Touchnooter twice after going back to factory image, but the result was the same :(

EDIT: it starts to work suddenly :) Now I am fighting with moon+ reader that seems not to be easy too :(

Does anyone know why market search doesn't work?

Edit: Also, how do you download third party apps?
[Nook Touch Android Development] digixmax:
The work-around is to install and use the SearchMarket app (http://www.appbrain.com/app/searchmarket/youten.redo.searchmarket).

Enable "unknown sources", download the app (e.g., using browser), then using a file-manager app to open the downloaded apk file you'll be prompted if you want to install it.

[Nook Touch Android Development] mARximUS:
ATTENTION !!! this is no working, a have nook simply 1.2.1 and now it hang on starting screen, suk
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
If you had read either the title of the thread (which states that this is for SW version 1.1) or the post right above yours by [MENTION=1982164]d0g[/MENTION] (which states that this mod does not work on 1.2.1 and states that NookManager is the right way to go), you could have avoided soft-bricking your Nook. :eek:
[Nook Touch Android Development] mARximUS:
this title "[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31" nothing tell about SW ver. 1.1

IMHO this info should be in post with instruction,

and this topic has 45 pages, info about "this mod does not work on 1.2.1 " again should be on first page in firs post not the last, Don't you think?
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Read the bold text: "[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31". Does that not suggest that TouchNooter is for 1.1?

Anyways, I agree that the info should be in the OP - the only problem is that Mr. Destruir has not been online in a while to actually make that change. :eek:

Factory reset not working.
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
If you have not already done so, I suggest you prepare an SD card with NookManager files and boot your Nook with that card in place. There is a factory restore option there that is total, i.e., it rewrites the factory image with FW 1.21. Since Nook Manager boots from the SD card you have a good chance of getting to that menu option and selecting it even if your Nook is currently messed up.

If all you want to do is restore the Nook to its original condition, that's all you need to do with NookManager.

I installed without backing up first, can I install touchnooter after I have installed nook manager
[Nook Touch Android Development] digixmax:
If you already rooted your Nook using Nook Manager, (in lieu of ToucNooter) you should use NTGAppsAttack (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086582) to install essential GApps (including Google Market from which you can get additional Apps).
[Nook Touch Android Development] dervish666:
Does anyone know if you can use this method now that the nook servers have been turned off? I have tried to deregister a second hand nook I bought but it fails. It also won't factory reset.

Will I get stuck after flashing it when it tries to register?
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
So you're in the UK? It is possible to bypass the registration sequence but there have been reports that the end result is rapid battery drain. I cannot confirm.

If you're having trouble with a factory reset, why not prepare a NookManager SD card? It has a factory reset option--that should take care of that problem. You will still be faced with the registration issue, though. Better look round a little before you go there and see if the power drain issue is real.
[Nook Touch Android Development] dervish666:
Yes, I'm in the UK. I hadn't heard about battery drain, I'll look into it.

I can do the factory reset no problems, it's the registration bit that bothers me. There is a guide on how to skip it, but the guide indicates that it doesn't work any more.

I couldn't care less about using the nook features to be honest, I plan to sideload the books from my old nook. I just wanted it clean of the previous owners Patrica Cornwell and Andy McNabb books, looks like I'm stuck with them.
[Nook Touch Android Development] dervish666:
I have given up on rooting it for now. I have just used Calibre to delete all the old books from it and restore my stuff from my old nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
Here's another possibility. If your other NST still works you could make a backup with NookManager. Then write down the serial number and MAC address of the new one. Now use NookManager to "restore" the new one. So now it's registered. There is a post on the forum somewhere about editing MAC addresses so the two devices won't interfere with each other. Since you can't connect to B&N the serial number probably doesn't matter.
[Nook Touch Android Development] dervish666:
Yeah, good thought, unfortunately it's totally bricked, won't turn on at all.

You might consider using the Nook Manager (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040351) -- I found it a much easier tool to use than others and, more importantly, it's still available for download.

Gabrial,

Did you try to turn multitouch on in order to check BN's claim on multitouch for Nook STR?

I'll try this one later on, maybe I can get my market ("my apps" section) to work again. If I had that, I'd be in heaven... Or I'd start waiting for Xorzone's launcher :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] bretzke:
Worked like a charm to get me back to 1.0.0. Thanks!

However, I guess I didn't screw up as much as I thought... Re-upped to 1.1.0 and followed the TN instructions precisely and Market still errors out (A Server error has occurred...Retry/Cancel).

Any one else seen this?

Dave
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Bretzke,

I've got the same, but using 1.6.24 updated with 1.1 uramdisk and framework. Everything else works, but "my apps" in market. I can still download, though, and update (if I search for an installed apk), but I can't see a list of all apps installed on my nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Nope, no tests of multi-touch here, my brain is still rather fried. Let me know what you come up with in the way of results, if it works I can readd it later.

The only issue I had with market was the first time I tried to run it, it'd refuse to run period. Came up with "Server Error" and wouldn't give me TOU, I rebooted and tried and everything worked fine.

Also using nookRestore will take you back to whatever version is in factory.zip which should be 1.0 for most people. Remember to upgrade to 1.1 again before you try to use TouchNooter 1.11.20 otherwise you'll bork the system.

Another thing you might try if Gmail and Youtube are working fine but Market is still giving you issues is to rerun TouchNooter. With hacks like this I find that there are plenty off issues that can prevent things from properly working. One of the more common ones I found is sometimes the packages.xml modifications don't take. Rerunning TouchNooter reapplies them a second time and they work just fine.

Hm, not quite sure why your "My Apps" wouldn't be working, I didn't have an issue with mine and installed several apps from "My Apps". What exactly happens when you try to use "My Apps"?

Reboot again after you get the Retry/Cancel error. If this doesn't work reapply TouchNooter and try market then.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Gabrial,

Regarding the multitouch, whenever someone goes into the 1st page of this post, it shows that multitouch has been disabled. If it is only a file to be changed, just tell me and I do it. If it needs more, tell me and I'll try. If it breaks, I go back to standard 1.1 (with 1.6.24 with 1.1 uramdisk and framework, or even the 1.11.20).

About market, either on standard market (from nooter), vending.apk or market2.3.4.apk, it runs, let me see and download files, search works (not on standard), if I find an app that is already installed, it allows me to update. But when I tap "my apps", it shows the server error, retry button (which takes me to the same error), or cancel button - which takes me back to main market screen. When I installed nooter 1.6.24 with 1.1 uramdisk and framework, I returned with an app+data backup from titanium backup pro from my 1.0.1 install, and I also ran in-app market doctor, which restores apps links in market (tried with that and without using this in-app feature, both with same results, i.e. server error).

I presented the situation in this post.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Getting MultiTouch running may be as simple as getting the multitouch file and placing it back in the appropriate place. If you check older versions of touchnooter or even autonooter you should be able to see where to place it.

As for Market, try running TouchNooter 1.11.20 and see if that helps. The market has been updated to a version where as far as I could tell market works just fine and I have tested and know for sure "My Apps" works. Once we're sure it's not just a version of Market acting up we can work to isolate whatever the issue might be.
[Nook Touch Android Development] kevincool:
hi

i've got the market server error too... ;(

the rest works fine! thx a lot!

BTW: i've even replaced the vending.apk in /system/app/ but ,, still the same prob. // if i replace it with the vending.apk from the last touchnooter release (1.0.1) it works (without search obviously)
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Kevin, with the working version of the market, did you get to see "my apps" list?

Gabrial, maybe not today, but until tomorrow I'll be able to do it. Then I'll tell you. Thx.

i'm sorry, i didn't test it,,, if you want can i reroot it and test if it works..
[Nook Touch Android Development] italiano1964:
I'm having the same Server error with market after I accept the license agreement. It didn't fix it to run Touchnooter again, or rebooting.

I started from a factory recover/reset, re-registered nook, updated to 1.1.0.

I got error 401 when signing in for YouTube, synced gmail with no problem, but unable to get market to work because of the server error.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
All I did was wipe /system update to 1.1, Ran TouchNooter 1.11.20 and followed the instructions that are on the screen there. When it booted up I logged into Youtube, clicked allow, synced Gmail which worked fine then tried to use Market. This didn't work for me giving the Server Error, I rebooted, pulled up market again and was able to accept the TOU. From there Market worked perfectly for me.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
What do you mean by pulled up market? Added by adb?
[Nook Touch Android Development] italiano1964:
"pulled up Market", I think he means he just clicked on the icon to open Market.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Well, went through the entire process. Restores, resetted, updated, logged in, nooted with 1.11.20, logged on youtube, synced gmail, and tapped on market and... it is worse than before, it doesn't work at all.

Rebooted then, and tried marked again and nothing...

Will try a couple of times more...

BTW, couldn't get to adb the nook either...
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I just clicked the Market Icon.... to open Market
[Nook Touch Android Development] italiano1964:
Same here, have restored, resetted, updated, etc 2-3 times with same result.

BTW, do you also get an error 401 when trying to log on youtube? After that, I can sync gmail with no trouble, but market is stuck with the server error message after I accept the terms of service. BTW, when I click on youtube again, it won't even open.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
5th reboot, and nothing on the market yet.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I didn't get a 401 at youtube, though youtube won't open again after you login, this has always been the case. After I accepted the terms though, no issues with market.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Thats actually strange... YouTube, Gmail and Market work perfectly with my guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346748

I've been trying to figure out why this isn't the case with automatic methods as it's the way to go, with the salsicha way and my Gapps repack but without the Vending.apk I use, YouTube worked correctly but you have to push the new Vending app for search to work and don't know if my-apps/download tab in market works.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I'm not sure why the only thing I found different in that Gapps repack and TouchNooter was Vending.apk when I went through the process to do everything it all worked fine, didn't have to swap Vending.apk even to get search working properly. Really not sure why this isn't working for others.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Yeah, the repack is just the normal Gapps without all what I didn't find necessary for the Nook, including location services and using the updated Vending.apk, that why it's strange that doing the steps manually works better than the automatic way, as I dont really see much difference between the methods, except the reboot after opening for the first time YouTube and Gmail, editing packages.xml and before activating the Checking service :confused:
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Packages.xml and the checkin service all gets down before the first boot. Sometimes the packages.xml doesn't take, but I've never had an issue with Server errors after you accept the Terms. Location Services while not necessary to get Gapps working, it is for some apps, so removing it can break those apps if it's not there and enabled.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
I understand the process :p thats why im puzzled about it not working as it should ,sometimes, on the automatic methods.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It does seem a bit odd. I wonder what was different in my original test.
