BTW, bn turned on bt in the NC after cm came out with the bluetooth functionality for NC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Missed that one.

I tried LCD Resolution but it doesn't seem to work on the NT. I granted it permission via Root and selected 160 dpi, but the application buttons appear to be dead.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
Are you rooted with superuser installed. LCD changers from the market need root access.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Hmmm....that's mighty tempting. Let me get my courage up and I'll get back to you. Should the apk take care of the fact that BT doesn't show up in settings?

Actually I would want the BT for other things. I like the idea of a keychain gps but where does the tablet get the data? tethering to a phone takes care of everything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
Download a Bluetooth on/off widget from the market. I don't know if Anycut can link to the Bluetooth.apk to allow pairing bt devices. If you cannot access Bluetooth apk from /system/app try putting in /data/app and opening.

The tablet gets its map from wifi and the bt GPS receiver uses the map data.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Nope. I've tried it in both places. I tried 2 different free toggles but no luck. I scanned it (within 6 inches) with two different radios as well just to see if it was running but I couldn't see it. The apk doesn't seem to have any ill effect at least.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
Thanks for trying. Looks like BN left it out on the NT. will leave it for cm to write code to activate bt assuming the radio chip has bt.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CWade3051:
I was able to install it with no problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
I looked at my notes and left out some steps.

Revised:

Once Bluetooth.apk is installed in /system/app reboot NT

Make sure you have downloaded a bt on/off widget

Download Anycut from market

Turn off wifi (only needed during initial bt turn on)

Turn on bt

Use Anycut to open Bluetooth.apk

Attempt to pair device (mouse, keyboard, gps)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
The radio chip does have bluetooth, there is config files in /etc/bluetooth it's just not activated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
No dice on activating it. Just sits like its activating but never activates.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
OK I see the problem.

The NT has the following file in /system/etc/bluetooth/:

blacklist.conf

My NCs has the following files in /system/etc/bluetooth/:

audio.conf

auto_pairing.conf

blacklist.conf

input.conf

main.conf

I will attach these files in a zip when I get home tonight so you can unzip and add them to the /system/etc/bluetooth/ folder . That should enable BT on the NT along with my other instructions. We'll get there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
They are there, just not viewable in shell. I see them in root explorer.

Sent by breaking the sound barrier
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
I looked at the system dump in another thread and did not see them. Are you able to change the permission so it is viewable/readable? The bluetooth.apk is not reading the conf files to determine whitelist devices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
I found this bt thread in the NC forum

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
Howd you get it to work? I found an apk of 2.1 and went through package installer, but all I'm getting are a bunch of force closes.

Edit: nevermind. There must have been something wrong with the copy I was using. I found another copy in the android Q&A forum and it went through without a hitch. Its working beautifully.

I have cleared my dalvik-cache, market data and cache and rebooted several times. Running Market 3.3.11 I have been able to see that it has changed my device to bn NookColor, but it has not changed any of the available apps.

Do you have any other recommendations to get this spoof to work so I can grab more apps straight from the market?

Thanks for the advice and help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
If you don't see the incompatible apps in the market app, try going to android market through the web browser and downloading there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
Unfortunately I've tried that and it still lists it as incompatible. It does show it as a Nook Color.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
It's strange that some people need to merely change the three LCD density lines and have full market access, and others have to change between one and eighteen additional lines. The problem simply must lie elsewhere. Could something have failed during the installation of gapps for some of us? Or is it that I DO get additional market access, but the apps I WANT (Facebook, Google Maps, Twitter, and a few others) simply are incompatible and I'm not realizing this?

Also, I found the folder that holds the dalvik cache. Is the proper way to clear the dalvik cache to simply clear this folder out?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
The only thing I can think of is to uninstall the Google Market (service framework and vendor apks) and reinstall. Keep the modified build.prop. I am not sure if this will work. Reboot and check market to see if GMaps, Dolphin HD, Evernote is compatible.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lookitup:
OK... I'm a noob when it comes to the Android system. I am an iPad and iPhone owner. I wanted a reader on steroids. NT should fit the bill.

I used 'Indirect's' guide to root mine.

Not sure if this will help you guys figure out the issue, but here's what I did to get Dolphin HD.

Since I'm new to the Android market, the only device I have registered is the NT. So, I was having the same problems as above. I had a buddy of mine email me the

Dolphin Browser HD-108.apk (3443KB) file. I opened the email on my NT and downloaded the attachment straight from the email. It took 2 tries, but now it works like a charm. All the plugins downloaded from the marketplace without a hitch.

Many here have other Android devices. If possible, use this method and email it to yourself. Or, have someone you trust email it to you.

Like I said, it's not a solution to direct download. But, a way around it for those must have Apps.

Hope this helps.

BTW... I'm running my rooted NT with Go Launcher EX and I pulled the email up in the Yahoo mail app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
Does busybox need to be installed for this to work? I found busybox in my app drawer, and it prompts me to install when I launch it, but I cancelled because I saw no mention of it in rooting instruction nor in the installation of google market and apps. Could this be what is keeping me from seeing the full market when I make my changes to build.prop?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
Busy box should be installed if you have root. Check in app settings. If installed, your options should say force close or uninstall.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
I checked. It wasn't installed. I never saw instructions mentioning busybox when I rooted, and everything runs fine without it. I am not sure what it does, but i installed it anyway to see if it will help me access the rest of the market after i re-alter my build.prop file.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
WOW. Been a long time since I read a story of a user going through so many hoops to get basic stuff working ok. I'm putting that experience in the "negatives for Android" column I'm building up as I get to know Android devices after being a long time Apple user. Yes, I have a positives column and there's plenty in it, so no flame wars please. But that is really incredible on many levels.

Was I any help? lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Seriously! It made me realize how shoddy google's coding on some of this stuff is. It's an error that's been around for years and for vary different reasons from what I've seen, I was going to put "I've tried about eight or so reinstalls" but that wouldn't get the message across of how crazy the above was. I've actually done two more reinstalls with no change, uninstalling all google services and reinstalling them (especially Talk, which seems required for market login) and no change.

I ended up installing a bunch of other appstores (Slideme, Getjar, Amazon) they seem to cover most of the grey areas. I find it incredible that Google doesn't have an installer up on the android market (apparently because market licenses are tied to hardware manufacturers?) and there's no way for people to get official software from them for what I assume they view as a big moneymaker. Bah :)

Plus, we're basically conning the Market into working on a device that was never meant to have it. This type of thing doesn't happen nearly as often on Google-blessed devices.

And yea, apps in /system/app need to be 644...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ylixir:
I blame M$?

Seriously though, i dunno why he had so many troubles but coming from windows land and looking at this stuff is just apples and oranges and begging for problems you don't understand.

*nix for life (including apple). represent.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I've done it 10+ times, with root explorer. I've done it manually, setting rw-r--r--. That's what it shows as (still, currently) in my app list, so... I dunno, unless Root Explorer's lying, I dunno :P

Also not he ;) But I appreciate the replies! I'll factory reset and redo it sometime. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
But then why do some apps in Market come up as installable for the NT? Apart from being rooted and installing Market, I've done nothing special for Market apps. Yet some come up with the little panel that says it's good and some don't. I'm wondering if it's just a question of time as they all gradually get "approved" for the NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
I just realized that with absolutely no changes made to build.prop i can see and download Dolphin Browser in the market. That's one of the apps that i thought everyone was saying was only visible after making changes to build.prop to spoof a nook color.

Anyway. I haven't tried fooling with build.prop in a few days. I may give it another go, but since i learned how to email apks to myself and install via the gmail app (and taught my mom) i may not bother if it doesn't work this time.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Also, i wondered if google maps and facebook are just flagged as not for tablets. And i wonder if spoofing another tablet isn't the wrong way to go . Maybe someone needs to figure out how to spoof a nexus... just a thought.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. I'm able to download Dolphin Browser too (on other device). Seems like devs changed some special settings and it became visible in market.

Still can't see Antutu Tester, Bluetooth GPS Provider (by german programmer) and other...

One thing is annoying... These apps work at many devices (including Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Kindle Fire and other), but can not be visible at market. Why Google defines what we can or what we can not? Densities, countries, some additional settings - all is not important cause devs can manipulate with it.

Example: App AAA works at phone, i downloaded it to my tablet, installed and started. App seems very small and fits only half of screen.

I can write to developer and ask for improve app. And if he want - he will do it. No need to hide app in market...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Yep, they seem to have approved it for this device recently, so it's there. No change from the one in the Slideme market from what I saw.

So, I factory reset my machine, rerooted it, and everything works great. The Vending app is the ONE app in system/app that has permissions rw-rw-rw, and NOT rw-r--r--, so um... thanks thread? :/

Also proof that Google is the devil.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
So after playing around so much, I don't believe we'll be able to get the spoof working properly.

After kind of having a final NC spoofed version of the build.prop, I hard reset the device, rooted it, sideloaded root explorer, put in the new build.prop, then loaded on all gapps. The market will see the new device info, but won't allow any new access.

I was really happy to see that Dolphin is accessible to us, and think that many more will follow.

Also, when using the new build.prop, Hulu Plus would stop working since it didn't recognize the device as NT anymore, which is also something I use :P

Oh well, I'm still really happy with the device and can sideload whatever I can't get straight through the market.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Thanks for doing such a thorough job of it. It seems like sideloaders notifying developers that their app works well on the NT will help. If I was a dev I'd like my app to be used anywhere it can.

Apps Install

I have successfully rooted my new Nook Tablet. The issue I have is I also own a Nook Color which I rooted over a year ago. Now when I try to install the same applications which I have on my Nook Color on to my Nook Tablet the market advises me these applications are already installed. I believe this is due to my log in to Google is the same on both devices. Is there any way that my New Nook Table can have the same apps as my Nook Color? What do I have to go to get the same apps on to the New Nook Tablet?

Thanks,

Jim
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
I use the same login for several devices. It may say installed because it is installed on one of your devices, but go ahead and click on the installed button and see if it shows all of your devices. When I've done resets and restores, it will still say installed, but you can re-install onto the devices anyway. There is NO issue with having the purchased apps on one account being used on several devices.

I found 10 Google Apps available for download along with Evernote, Dolphin Browser HD, Tune in Radio, and a ton of other apps. Just follow the link below and find an app you want and click on it.

On another note, has anyone else noticed that copy & paste works on the Nook Tablet when you copy a URL from the address bar in Dolphin HD and open a new tab and then paste into the new tab's address bar? Can't seem to get it to work in any other application though.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anonymous572:
100% works for all Gingerbread, ICS and JellyBean ROMs TouchWiz Stock/Custom and AOSP/AOKP.

Works with new ICS and JB (4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2) ROMs

Italian translate by Willy89

1) You need a JIG. You can buy it or create its own

2) Download attached zip archive and extract it to some folder

3) Reboot you device in download mode - turn it off, than hold volume down + center button + power button. Wait for the warning message and press volume up

4) Plug it to you PC

5) Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '1.tar' file for PDA flash. You must get the same settings:

6) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing

7) After reboot you should get black and dead screen. Unplug USB from PC. Long press power button (15-20 seconds). Remove battery for 5 seconds, plug in JIG, put battery back. Wait for 40 seconds, press power button for 5 seconds, remove JIG, long press power button (15-20 seconds), remove battery

8) Put battery back, hold volume down + center button + power button for 10-15 seconds, press volume up, plug it to you PC

9)

10) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing

At points 7-10 the screen will not work!

After these steps you will get:

-

No yellow triangle

- Custom binary download value will set to '

NO

'

- Current binary value will set to '

SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

'

FAQ

Will it work for new stock gingerbread, ics, custom, cyanogen, miui and other firmware?

All gingerbread ROMs and ICS except CLP5 and CLP6 (some users report about incompatibility). Better don't use this reset counter instruction if you have those ICS ROMs.

Do I need root for this?

No.

Does not work, yellow triangle is not disappeared!

Carefully follow all 10 points of instruction.

I am having trouble, black screen after a 10th point!

Try reboot your device. Remove battery for 10 seconds and plug it back.

Odin can't recognize USB plug at 4 or 8 point. + Windows can't detect device or identifies as "Unknown device".

Try another USB port. Try reinstall kies or remove it and install only galaxy note drivers (link1, link2). If not helped try another PC.

Will this work on the Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Nexus?

No! You will break your phone. Works and tested for GT-N7000 and GT-I9220.

Will this work on the SGH-I717 (AT&T)?

Not tested yet.

Will I have a problem with a warranty? Can they identify the use of this counter reset?

There is absolutely no chance to detect this binary reset at service center.
