I'm looking a bit more at rooting via manual nooter on OS 1.4.1.

As of now, the Android Market is not working

In my hands, the BN shop is also not working. Books cannot be downloaded. (The reader does work, though, so you can shop and then download to your PC, then push the files in manually if you like.)

Together, those two elements not working argue against rooting 1.4.1 for anything other than study and development, I think.

- 1.4.1 installs on a device which had already been rooted (this device is rooted but not overclocked.)

- boot from a manual nooter 4-5-18 disks works

- after applying MN 4.5.18 and the APK enabler, the device booted. Root was retained and SU works fine (I was able to use adb wireless)

- install via ADB works

Other things to be aware of:

- this is not a Gingerbread release for the NC.

- the home button behavior is changed a LOT. Home Catcher for the Nook Tablet will also work here, though.

- the device automagically snarfs Google contacts if it's registered to a gmail address, it seems. There is no warning on that. I think that behavior is a Big Effing Problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] MentalDragon:
About to try hopefully it works. I know I couldnt install update on 1.3 with CWM going back to complete stock and then update and then MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] roustabout:
Yes, if CWR is written to your boot, you cannot install BN updates.

It might be possible to use a flashable 1.3 installer to write only /boot, reboot, then update to 1.4.1. I know there is a flashable 1.3, but I do not know where it lives.
[Nook Color Android Development] MentalDragon:
Yeah I went back to 1.3 stock and then to 1.4.1 update.
[Nook Color Android Development] mejack03:
It would be nice if some one conforms about Market
[Nook Color Android Development] roustabout:
"It would be if some one conforms about Market"

Yeah, wouldn't it?

I'm figuring from the lack of screaming it's probably working.
[Nook Color Android Development] MentalDragon:
Market is up. Some apps still missing. Having a bit of problem with Zeam launcher. Nook launcher is taking control.

Straight from my ICS i897 Sonic Screwdriver!!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] nookerrooter:
So from a rooted 1.3.1 you:

Use CWM to install a vanilla 1.3 ROM, then update to 1.4.1 via B&N download, then root using only 4.5.18? I seem to remember to root 1.3.1 you needed to root with 4.5.16 and then 4.5.18.
[Nook Color Android Development] roustabout:
I have been able to use 4-5-18 without any problems on both 1.2 and 1.3.

You may not even need to install the vanilla ROM - you may well be able to install to a rooted device, so long as you have not meddled with /boot, either by installing a CWR boot internally or by overclocking.

My fast experiment this morning involved updating a rooted 1.3, then rooting that resulting 1.4.1.
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
Anyone check to see if it will still boot from an SD card, just want to confirm before update, but because it is still rootable I can always downgrade.

Edit: I am in the process of updating as I type this, I will post the results in case anyone else needs them.
[Nook Color Android Development] boomn:
Others have tested and confirmed, but that's not something they can change on this device with a software update anyway
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
Good to know, I hadn't seen it yet but my testing confirms this, thanks for the reply
[Nook Color Android Development] wtmann:
In my case the Market runs but it's totally useless: I can't see my apps, it doesn't find most of what I want to install and when it does I can't install anything (it just goes back to the Apps menu). So it totally sucks since the B&N market is really lame!
[Nook Color Android Development] magicland:
For whatever reason, many Nook Colors that come stock with 1.3 installed just bootloop if rooted with 4.6.16, even if rooted first with 4.5.18. I can confirm this with a new NC purchased for my girlfriend's mom. Runs OK if just rooted with 4.5.18, except for it having the ancient market. Haven't been able to update the market yet, though gmail will update itself.

Updated to 1.4.1 (had to return to stock 1.3 to install the update, even without CWM flashed), using homecatcher to overcome the new "n" button "feature", but market is hit and miss. Was able to download and install Astro, but Titanium Backup doesn't want to download and install. I'll try sideloading it later.
[Nook Color Android Development] RSchmauk:
What's the new n button feature? Is it possible to make a flashable update, like with 1.2 and 1.3?
[Nook Color Android Development] magicland:
If you press it once, it brings up the B&N "dock" that used to be at the bottom of the screen. If you press it twice, it brings up the B&N launcher.

Correction, I thought I was able to download Astro from market, but apparently I didn't. Now I've got no way to sideload apps, which makes this pretty useless...
[Nook Color Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
ADB commands are your friend! :p Pretty much as long as you can enable ADB you can sideload with zero issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] magicland:
I realize this, but this nook is a gift for my girlfriend's mom, who lives out of state, and I know there's no way she's going to sideload everything using ADB... I need to get her a working market, even if I've got to go back to 1.3 and disable the update.
[Nook Color Android Development] badgermac:
Ended up using 4.5.18 on my stock 1.3 NC. ADB Sideloaded in the Kindle app and a couple others and used the Nook App Manager to drop icons out on the main stock launcher page. I was really looking to add teh Kindle app so I could read all my purchased books on a single device, so I'm quite content. I'd like to see better market, etc but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
Just in case someone follows this thread, rooted 1.4.1 is working well now. manualnooter-5-12-18.zip does it for ya.

Market works. You can add non-B&N apps to the B&N app and home screens using Nook Color App Manager. Putting the Kindle app on there is no problem. Netflix, HBO GO and Max GO work. Hulu Plus refuses to run on the device. B&N subscriptions download and update the dock. B&N enhanced content (e.g. Wired magazine) work fine.

If non-techie friends and family want an enhanced B&N Nook Walled Garden experience, this will do it!
[Nook Color Android Development] davidr415:
Could you give me a rough idea of how smooth and fast the rooted 1.4 Nook is compared to pure stock 1.4 and to CM7?

Just trying to get a feel for the convenience/performance tradeoffs.

Thanks..
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
The manualnooter setup is still based on the stock kernel, so far as I know, so you won't get the overclocked features of CM just yet.

Performance seems decent, but my perspective has been ruined since playing with the Nook Tablet I bought for my wife. That device is definitely smoother.

I haven't had any in-app performance, problems, but after the initial root, I've had a few hangups as the device seems to be syncing for extended periods. I've had the same thing after burning a new ROM to my phone. (Must be the NSA again!) 12 hours later, it was fine. I just finished resetting to 1.3 and doing the entire process, and it's taken 10 minutes for book covers to appear again. The sync indicator is still on. Must. Avoid. Playing. at least until it's done.

Netflix, HBO and Max GO all play. They do look a bit pixelated, but appeared the same on CM on my device. They are definitely watchable. Haven't tried YouTube yet.

I haven't tried many games yet. I'll update as I spend more time with it.

No change to dual-booting with CM7.1 on SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] Philomorph:
Works for me with 1.4.1

I finally decided to upgrade my manually nooted 1.3 NC to 1.4.1 when I saw the latest posts in this thread over the weekend.

Yesterday I tried all day to update after doing an erase/deregister but I couldn't get the 1.4.1 update to load.

Then someone reminded me that I probably still had an old CWM on the thing, so I did a stock restore using what was supposed to be a 1.3 ROM.

For some weird reason after that process the NC said it was running 1.2, and the home screen kept flashing off and on! But I went into settings and that stopped, and I let it sleep and the install file in root caught and it updated to 1.4.1.

Then I manually nooted it using the manualnooter-5.12.19 and it works great now! Google Market seems fully functional and so does Amazon Market. I've installed apps from both, updated from both, and can see videos on the google market, which I never could on 1.3.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
Just watch loading it up too. Much until GMPOWER releases and APPS2SD kernel with manualnooter.
[Nook Color Android Development] harryzee:
Rather than going the update route to 1.4.1 from my MN 1.3, I took a shot at simply installing MN 5-12-20 onto my existing (and well backed up) structure.

Though I haven't checked out everything, the update went without a hitch and I can now get HBO GO (not quite the visual quality of Netflix but it will suffice). Market interface has changed also.

Will continue to check it out today and report back.

PS: Just got back from a local BN and all is well with both shopping and in-store reading.

Not at all sure what advantage 1.4.1 would give me at this point.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
Conde Nast subscriptions (Wired, New Yorker, others) will work on a NC with 1.4.1, changes to 'n' button behavior which I prefer, reader support landscape mode and other enhancements.

Nothing earth shattering, but those are the ONLY reason I'd run stock B&N firmware, personally.
[Nook Color Android Development] harryzee:
My (free) Vanity Fair and Time apps work great in both portrait and landscape. I subscribe to both in paper so I get the free app.

AS an FYI...the Kindle app I access through the Zeam launcher can "read" in both portrait and landscape but the NC reader under "Home" remains locked in portrait mode. So with Netflix and HBO Go working under Zeam and "in store reading" and successful B&N transactions and downloads I am reasonably set!

I am sure that there are other benefits for powerusers beyond my level but at this point I just don't see the plus of redoing my unit vs. the simple and successful install of 5.12.20 over my MN 1.3.

Obviously my needs/wants could change at some point.
[Nook Color Android Development] Temetka:
Well I reloaded stock 1.1 then updated to 1.4.1 which is where I am now.

When there is an OC kernel available I will root then. This experience has taught me that all I really need is faster speed and louder speakers. There isn't really anything I need that are on Amazon's or Google's markets. I paid for the Office Suite Pro app from B&N so that is covered. I have a few other games as well that I have purchased from them. However I primarily use the device to watch movies when out and about (hence the louder speaker and wanting more speed) and for *gasp* reading books. I do very light web browsing on it as well.

I love my Nook Color. I have used the Tablet for a few hours and it is definitely a nice piece of gear. If there was a way to increase the stock speaker volume that would be cool. As it stands now, I know I will be getting in the next few months.
[Nook Color Android Development] Masterface7:
How does it do this with no gmail password?
[Nook Color Android Development] ClarkSt:
I updated to 1.4.1 and manualnooter 5.12.20. All good except a few things bad:

1) I can't even get Angry Birds in the Market. I can get a lot of other stuff, but other stuff is not there.

2) The N button is a nightmare. Used to be I could set it to go to ADW Lanucher and then use the Nook Home to go into the Nook world. A quick N button push and I'm back in tablet world. For some who prefer to hang in Nook world, that's fine. For others, who use their Nook more for Kindle reading and tablet stuff, it's a bummer.

My only thought now is to try and move all the apps into Nook world... I hope that works, but then again, I can't have widgets there, right...

Any thoughts appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Last night I went from CM7 to rooted 1.4.1 using these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1438212

I did this because I've really been using my TouchPad as my tablet and my Nook Color as a reader and lightweight browser/mail client, so CM7 felt a little "heavy". I also wasn't able to use content like my Entertainment Weekly digital subscription unless I went back to (relatively) stock.

I'm using Dalingrin's most recent Froyo kernel along with SetCPU to run at 1200MHz. It's silky smooth. I have access to the Android Market and Amazon AppStore, and I've side-loaded many of my apps, primarily Amazon Kindle, Google Currents, and a few games.

I have LauncherPro Plus as my launcher, though as the previous poster mentioned, the "N" button behavior is REALLY annoying now! Press it once and you get the little bar on the bottom with Home/Library/Apps/etc., and press it again to actually go back to the launcher. Considering that previously I was using the soft home key in CM7 almost exclusively, this has me a bit concerned about the longevity of my "N" button! Yes, I have Button Savior installed (I prefer it to SoftKeys), but I really use it as a backup for apps that go full screen but still have a dependency on the Menu or Back keys. I wouldn't want to have to use that as my Home key full-time.

For what it's worth, I tried doing things the other way...bringing my side-loaded apps into the Nook's stock launcher using Nook Color App Manager, but between the fact that each screen can only accommodate a 4x3 grid of items (including apps, books, magazines, etc.) and the fact that just swiping from screen to screen more often ends up moving one of your desktop icons out of place, I don't feel I could have that be my day-to-day home screen.

Of course, almost immediately after I got all this set up, I saw that a second build of ICS has been posted that evidently is pretty far along, so my move back to rooted stock may end up being very short-lived.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
You can use HomeCatcher to allow the 'n' button to go directly to your default launcher.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
How would I get back into that state now that I've set some of the defaults for launchers?
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Yeah, I've tried clearing defaults on all of the apps that seem to be "home" apps, e.g., Nook Home, Button Catcher, Go Launcher EX (which I'm now using instead of LPP), Zeam, etc., but still the first tap of the "n" button brings up the Nook button bar and the second prompts me for which launcher to use. Any thoughts on how to get "n" to go straight to my preferred launcher?
[Nook Color Android Development] beaujack:
Had a crippled 1.3 NC thanks to 4.6.16, installed clean 1.2 and manually to 1.4.1. Left it cherry for a day or two, I liked it. Rooted w/5.12.18 and now have had a stable NC since first rooting 1.2 in Aug 2011. Waiting for next shoe to drop, but enjoying it. Not the most robust software I've ever seen, but since I've written & supported much buggy stuff since the '60s, can't really whine too much.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Just thought I'd check back in and see if anyone had successfully gotten the "n" button a rooted 1.4.1 installation to go straight to the preferred launcher instead of first bringing up the menu back and only on second tap going to the launcher.

Aside from this usability annoyance, I'm actually REALLY happy with my Nook now that I'm on rooted 1.4.1 with Dalingrin's last Froyo kernel overclocked to 1.2GHz. Unfortunately I have no idea how to work around it...

UPDATE: I just found this thread where a user modified SystemUI.apk on the Nook Tablet to modify the "n" button behavior to be standard "Home" behavior and also made the soft buttons/status bar persistent. I've asked whether the modification might work on a rooted Nook Color, though I suspect it won't. However, I would think we could apply the same changes to the Nook Color's SystemUI that he's applied to the Nook Tablet's and achieve the same overall effect. If I get to the bottom of this I'll post the results back up here.
[Nook Color Android Development] lagomilo:
Did you ever find out if that modified systemui from the tablet would work on the color???
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
I did look to see if there was a /system/app/SystemUI.apk on my Nook with 1.4.1 and didn't see one. Is that supposed to be there in Froyo or was it introduced in Gingerbread?
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
I ported it over for you, just flash the file “Statusbar_mod” from CWM. Since it changes a system framework file, it will take about 5 minutes to start back up after flashing. Since you will loss a way to select the “Shop” and “Library” buttons, just install “AnyCut” or “BetterCut” to create a shortcut for them. To return to stock, just flash “Statusbar_stock” from CWM.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman! Works PERFECTLY! I used AnyCut to create those shortcuts and just added a third dockbar to GO Launcher EX that replicates the relevant parts of the quicknav bar. I am not kidding when I say you just helped my Nook Color to reach very near perfection for how I'm using it!

Thanks again!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Just a little side note for anyone uses the statusbar_mod, then flashes a new version of MN, will need to reapply the statusbar_mod.zip file to reapply the mod.
[Nook Color Android Development] micro2112:
statusbar_mod works perfect. so much better then that stupid nook bar.
[Nook Color Android Development] AlexanderJohn:
Can we put up a $bounty$ for someone to put together a proper root for 1.4.1?
[Nook Color Android Development] micro2112:
am i missing something? i ran the MN5.12.20 and root as well as android market are working great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lojak29:
I flashed this http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfbc5d2/n/update_1024_working_data_zip over stock rom i am unlocked and was rooted with djbliss one click method now root rights are gone
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
Troubleshoot that a couple of ways. First, go into the market, and download rootchecker by joeykrim. That should tell you if you somehow lost root. If you did, root again, I actually prefer photon torpedo method found in these forums.

If you still have root, go the market and download superuser. If you are showing that you still have root, and that superuser is installed, then you should be good, if not, then I would re-root with photon anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
I too lost root when I went back to 154....got the OTA to 198_6 then I re-rooted with AIO...all is good now
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Stevenjl57:
I Have a nextbook 2 with a version of android 2.1.

My nextbook needs to be rooted. Is there a code for rooting this and then which version of android would work?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nickyb03:
I purchased an unlock atrix 2 to use in my country and i'm having second thoughts. I'm coming from a berry storm so to me its a major upgrade. Reviews are sayin its a low budget phone n cant compete with top phones what are you guys opinion on this. And apart from the 1.2 ghz processor on the Gs2 how does the atrix compare with software features and available widgets.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
Tons of threads on this. The phone is amazing, competes extremely well with every high end phone out in benchmarks and functionality. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
I agree. I came from the nexus s and this phone just flies! Tons of features and pretty good on battery life.
[Motorola Atrix 2] imitenotbecrazy:
I honestly wouldn't really agree with the benchmark aspect.

Quadrant:

Atrix 2= 2409

Skyrocket= 3075

Antutu:

Atrix 2= 5177 (unusually high for what Ive pulled before, typically it is around 3500's)

Skyrocket=6477 (beating out the galaxy nexus and only being topped byt the transformer prime quad core)

Both phones were cache cleared, app optimized, maxed stock cpu (atrix 1ghz, skyrocket 1.5, the sky can go to 1.9 but the benchmarks put it into boot loop at that speed) Both are running samung 32gb micros, and screen brightness maxed

One area that the Atrix 2 did excell in was hspa+ data speeds. Same location, the atrix would pull 12+mbps where the Skyrocket would pull around 8-9mbps. Kind of a tradeoff though because when the skyrocket hits LTE Im doing 50+mbps. The atrix is more of a development/ webtop machine as I dont pay for the phone or service (thanks att) and the sky is my daily. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the atrix2 screen as Im not a huge fan of moto screens. Overall I would say it is more mid level than high end. It is sometimes laggy and glitchy but Im sure as soon as the bootloader is unlocked and work really gets done on it, things will turn around.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nickyb03:
thanks

So apart from the benchmarks would u say the Atrix 2 can do the same things that the gs2 r nexus can do...imma noob n this will be my 1st android :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
I believe this phone is right on the level with the other high end phones on the market now. Performance wise it is pretty quick, build quality is near the top, screen is a pleasant surprise.

One thing you should really be aware of when comparing this phone solely on benchmark tests. The Atrix 2 has higher resolution than a lot of phones it is being compared to. This is somewhat of an artificial disadvantage, since this only really hurts the phone's performance on the benchmarks, and not in the real world. Also understand that this phone is constantly compared to phones with overclocked processors, of course those phones will outperform the Atrix 2.

The Atrix, in my opinion is a miss marketed high end device. True, it is not the absolute best phone on the market, but the actual gap between the best phones and the Atrix 2 is very narrow. This phone is every bit as capable as any high end phone on the market, and at half the price.
[Motorola Atrix 2] VentureForth:
So no one here would trade for an LG Thrill? I've about had it with the memory bugs on this phone and apps disappearing.
