Try running MN without the downloads database fix, see if that fixes the ability to download from B&N, it may also fix Market if this is the case.

Here is a test version of MN without the Database fix:

[Nook Color General] bobstro:
The 'recents' bar is what I like, especially when it automatically notifies you about new B&N content (e.g. subscriptions). The other feature I really like is the ability to position things anywhere and resize them. No grid! The one-size-fits-all nature of most launchers I've tried (Go, ADW EX, LP) seem to me to make for a very busy homescreen. Homescreens are very personal things though, and these are just my impressions of the v1.4.1 features.

Haven't seen a comprehensive list myself. I do like the two column mode in landscape as well.

If you're rooted, check out "clipper" in the Market. You can save multiple 'snippets'.

You should try Thumb Keyboard. The feature you'd like, can save text strings and enter them with two taps! That is the one of the reasons I like Thumb Keyboard so much! I can't imagine having to type those things manually or even having to copy/paste from somewhere. It also has arrow keys, which I use all the time. =)

Thanks! I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes! =)
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I installed that zip on a stock 1.4.1 install and got much further. I was able to launch Andoid Market, set up my google account and download apps. Unfortunately, the install would fail and I'd get a notification to that effect.

I thought the problem might be 3rd party sources being disabled or similar, so I tried bringing up the development menu by downloading the tgps_menu.apk procedure used on the Nook Tablet root. It downloaded, but when I opened it to install, I got a message saying "Install blocked. For security reasons, only apps purchased through the NOOK Shop can be installed."

I just plugged the unit in via USB and adb is saying "error: device not found" so I guess USB debugging is disabled.

Just for fun, I reset 1.4.1 to stock and re-registered it. I then cobbled together a .zip to install a copy of the Kindle .apk from my CM7.1 install and drop it in /data/app on the

unrooted

NC, along with the rest of the google apps associated with MN. Upon booting, I can launch the Kindle app and read sideloaded content. I can go into the Amazon store and download free books. I can download and read BN content.

When I launch the Android Market, it prompts me for my account info, then hangs. On restart, both Gmail and Market launch. Still get the "Download was unsuccessful, please try again." message as when rooted.

Looks like 3rd party apps are locked out, and in a way different than on the Tablet running 1.4. The modified Manualnooter seems to have worked, but we're missing something on v1.4.1. Closer, but not quite there yet.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
After some issues with my SD card and then my hotspot, I was able to test and I'm seeing essentially the same as before, not what you're seeing.

I'm still not able to download from BN and Market FCs more than lets me in. I cleared cache/data for both Market and Google Services Framework, rebooted several times, and was finally able to get in once and click the button to install an update, and it FC'd, which is what it was doing before. I've tried going back in, and have rebooted again a few times, and can't get into Market now...just immediately FCs.

I do have a modified build.prop to get more visibility in Amazon Appstore, since so many apps in Market have been showing as "not compatible" for the past few months. It is set to a Samsung GalaxyS SCH-I500.

One of my enhanced magazines dropped to my Nook home tray tiday and when I try to download it, I get a message that it isn't available for downloading to the product I'm using. I don't know if that is because of the build.prop or 1.4.1.

Will have to test more. Can also test on my husband's device. His has the standard build.prop.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Getting closer!! Yay! :) I installed the 4-12-16-test on my husband's recently reset to stock, updated to 1.3, rooted with MN 4.6.16a...and then updated to 1.4.1 and rooted with 4-12-16-test. Below are the results:

- BN downloads work!!! Yay!!!

- Gmail works.

- Amazon Appstore downloads/installs works.

- Market doesn't FC, which is a step in the right direction! Very limited Market My Apps, and Market in general. When trying to install an app, it starts the download and then a "Package file is invalid" error.

=> Tried Fix Permissions - no change.

=> Tried Clear Cache/Data, Force Stop for Market and Google Services Framework,

- Better. No longer a limited market, but still receiving the "Package file is invalid" error. Went to /cache/downloadnull and tried installing the .apk from there and receive the error "There is a problem parcing the package."

GabrialDestruir: Any ideas? Was the database fix to resolve this error or something else?
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
Not sure I'm understanding what sequence you followed. It sounds like:

1. Start on BN 1.3.

2. Root with MN 4.6.16a.

3. Update to BN 1.4.1.

4. Root with MN 4-12-16-test.

Is that the correct sequence? If you have Amazon App Store working and can do installs, you've broken the barrier I've been up against.

Have you tried any of the enhanced content or Conde Nast pubs? Mine wouldn't let me download Wired magazine after 4-12-16-test, for example.

That is huge!
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
The option for allowing installation of 3rd party apps is in NookColor Tools. It is the checkmark at the top that doesn't have a viewable label. Just uncheck it, recheck it and exit NookColor Tools. You should now be able to install 3rd party apps.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Yes, the sequence you listed is correct. :)

We just purchased an issue of Wired on my husband's device and it works great!

The only remaining issue is Market--get the "Package file is invalid" error.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how I can re-run the 1.4.1 BN update on my device, so I can get to the same place as my husband's device. I'd be happy with that for a while...until the Market issue can be resolved. At least I'd be able to ready my daily newspaper and my magazine subscriptions!

Any ideas on how to re-run the 1.4.1 update on a device? Using the original process (dropping it on the root of the device, ejecting from the PC, letting it go to sleep) doesn't work. I assume because it recognizes it is already at 1.4.1. I don't want to have to reset to stock. I'm going to try updating build.prop to see if I can fool it to think it is still at 1.3. Anyone happen to have a build.prop from a device at 1.3?
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I've been resetting mine on 1.4.1 each time. I'm getting good at it!

You reference manualnooter-4-6-16a. I'm only finding 4-6-16. Have you got a pointer to that?
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
You can get 4.6.16a here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1247488
[Nook Color General] GabrialDestruir:
The idea of 4-12-16-test is that you use it INSTEAD of 4.6.16 because 4.6.16 has the database fix and if the database fix were really breaking downloads you would still be putting it on there with 4.6.16.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Very true and I should have mentioned that when I provided the link to 4.6.16a. Since the 4-12-16-test didn't improve the situation for me, I went back to trying anything I hadn't tried before; however, I don't if you've seen my later post...

We since tried the 4-12-16-test on my husband's device and have a much better situation! Market installs result in a "Package file is invalid" error, but BN downloads work!! Yay!

My husband's device was a recently reset to stock, updated to 1.3, MN'd to 4.6.16a. We then applied the 1.4.1 update and went straight to the 4-12-16-test. So, I'm now in the process of trying to figure out how to rerun the 1.4.1 update without having to reset to stock...if that is possible...? If I can at least get to my BN newspapers/magazines, I'll be much happier...and maybe a fix for Market will come later.

Any suggestions on how to rerun the 1.4.1 update? Or any other ideas on what I could do to my device, since it was already updated to 1.4.1 and MN 4.6.16a, which my husband's wasn't...and that must be the trick to get the BN downloads to work at least.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

GabrialDestruir had a good point. I should have mentioned that 4.6.16a isn't going to help in this situation, tho. 4-12-16-test is one you want. It is available here. However, so far, I've only been successful on a device that went from:

1. 1.3 stock

2. 4.6.16a MN (or 4.6.16 or probably completely skip this step, I assume)

3. 1.4.1

4. MN 4-12-16 test
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I did yet-another reset to stock 1.4.1 and tried just 4-12-16-test. I still had the Market situation where the file would download, but it would not install.

I was also unable to install from apk, though I just reailzed I may have missed the step with NookColor Tools enabling 3rd party installs. I'll try this again later and let you know.

A question for you: The procedure for rooting v1.3 states that manualnooter-4-5-18.zip and manualnooter-4-6-16.zip should be applied in sequence. Does 4-12-16-test.zip replace both of these?
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
You're in the same place we are if you're receiving an error of ""Package file is invalid". This process fixes everything (that I've found) except the Market issue. Amazon Appstore works, and BN Shop, too, so you can get newspaper/magazine subscriptions, which was the biggest win.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Not sure how much it matters, but, for what it's worth, 4-12-16 still has the bad SED command to change the fingerprint in build.prop. It still uses:

sed -i s~^ro\.build\.fingerprint=.+$~ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/ZUJJ4:user/release-keys~ build.prop

And the right command is:

sed -i 's/^.*ro.build.fingerprint.*$/ro\.build\.fingerprint=samsung\/GT-P1000\/GT-P1000\/GT-P1000:2\.2\/FROYO\/ZUJJ4:user\/release-keys/' build.prop

The fingerprint in build.prop won't get changed, which might have at least a little to do with market issues - visibility if nothing else.

GMPOWER pulled the correct command into the one he just posted over in the 1.3 manual nooter thread.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Thanks for the info.

I've installed the update GMPOWER posted and I'm SOOOO HAPPY!!!!! Everything seems to be working perfectly! :) Yippee!! Haven't found any issues yet. I installed it on top of a device with 1.4.1 that had been MN'd with 4.6.16, 4.5.18, 4-12-16-test, 4.16.16a... In other words, a device that I had previously applied a number of MNs to and it still worked flawlessly!! :)
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
Thanks for the pointer! I'm testing now. This certainly answers the question of whether the NC is going to continue to get any lovin' now that the Tablet is out.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
bobstro, thanks for adding a link to GMPOWER's update! I realize I should have included that in my post. Guess I was just too excited at the time! Haha! :)
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
No problem. Your post gave me the information I needed to follow. I just put the link in for all the other overly-excited types who are as impatient as I am! :)

I always thought of the development area as programming apps and the like. Didn't even think to look there for rooting info! Thank YOU!
[Nook Color General] r0n1n69:
So, i finally bit the bullet and updated to 1.4.1. I had to do a factory wipe/reset as i believe my overclocked kernel was preventing the rooted 1.3 instance from updating. After that i registered the device and applied the 1.4.1 update. Last step was to apply GMPOWER's latest manualnooter from CWM. Worked like a champ! All my B&N content downloaded, android market opened up no problem, updated itself and let me download and install all my apps. Huge thnks to GMPOWER for all the work on this (and to everyone else who was willing to do the many wipes and installs to test it). You guys rock!
[Nook Color General] milliman:
Market Still Not Showing All Apps

I have no problem installing apps from the Android Market or Amazon App Store, but I would like to install TripIt, Chase, SwiftKeyX and other apps. I applied GMPOWER's Nexus S fix to build.prop and cleared out the cache and data for the Market app, but I still cannot see more apps. I know that one user was able to see more apps on their NC by applying his fix, but it didn't work for me. Does anyone else have any ideas.

Also, does anyone have Bluetooth working on a Nootered Nook?
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I've had no problems loading TripIt and SwiftKeyX. Did you try clearning Market cache, perhaps? I did not do any build.prop mods.
[Nook Color General] frnorke:
I have the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wish I had something more to offer; I'm just stuck. I guess I'm not the only one.
[Nook Color General] milliman:
bobstro, I have cleared the Market cache each time I made a change then rebooted. Nothing worked. I have played with the dpi settings too. I am beginning to think that the Market is looking at something else besides build.prop to determine compatibility. I am stumped on this one.
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
Wups, sorry guys. Too much flipping around to Cyanogenmod!

1. SwiftkeyX will download for me, but I did have to move the apk to /system/app to enable it, per the instructions.

2. TripIt is, apparently,

not

compatible. I copied over the apk from another device as I've done with other apps, and it will begin to install, then reboot the device after a minute or so. Got to wonder what TripIt is doing so deeply into the system as to reboot!

[HTC Incredible S] Carlosdsv:
Hi!! I'm from Venezuela, I bought my Incredible S S710e unlocked from amazon.com. My question is: will I be able to upgrade OTA? I've seen that many people have got the update already and I don't know if I can. or how can I get it.

Since my phone is not from Venezuela what can I do to get this upgrade.. my phone is stock.

Does this upgrade depends on the country where the phone was made? Or where its been used? Becouse I think HTC doesn't support Venezuela.

Sorry for my English, I hope you understand my doubt and help me..

Thank you!!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If you have a S710E unlocked and it is running Gingerbread version 2.30.405.1, then you should be able to go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Updates and push the Check Now button and you should get the OTA update notification.

If not, then you could try installing the 3.08.405.3 RUU using a goldcard.
[HTC Incredible S] Method01:
sure u want to upgrade to sense 3? :D
[HTC Incredible S] Carlosdsv:
Mine is running 2.3.3, and when I push the check now and it say "there are no updates available for your phone"

what is 3.08.405.3 RUU using a goldcard? is there any guide for that in the forum?

I`m not very skilled in this :p
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
2.3.3 is the version of Android, 2.30.xxx and 3.08.xxx are the HTC ROM versions.

If you go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information, it will show you both the Android version and the Software number.

This thread has a link to the official HTC ROMs that have been made available:

[HTC Incredible S] Carlosdsv:
Why not? it seems nice
[G2 and Desire Z General] Myrmidon83:
Finally got my desire z, it came with 2.3.3 unfortunately. So as yet not rooted or anything as I don't have the time just now.

Was just wondering what people's current drain was, mine seems to be around 32mA on standby which shoots up to between 200-350mA with screen on, brightness at 12%.

1. Would this be considered normal for stock?

2. I also am having the dialler high useage issue, tried most of the fixes but still quite high, was this ever resolved properly?

3. Thinking of romming to virtuous sense 2.0 if it will improve the battery drain, can some of you give rough screen off current drain figures please? Especially sense based roms as that's what I would be using.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ginobili1:
I used the 1350mAh battery for a long time and then finally caved in to get a Mugen Power 1800mAh. Since then Sense based or not my drain doesn't go below 15% for a full day Wifi (always on), Data (always on - when no WiFi) and Bluetooth on for 6 hours (during travelling).

I would suggest you do the same to get the peace of mind everyone deserves but HTC wasn't caring enough to pack in.

With a 1800mAh battery you don't even have to worry about anything, no matter what you try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Myrmidon83:
Interesting. It really makes that much of a difference does it?

Where do I get them?
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Yup it does, mine is a 1900 mah from chi chi tec
[G2 and Desire Z General] gaarry:
I got my Mugen 1800 from eBay. But you can get it from their website directly. Beware of fakes! If it's too cheap to be true, it is.

Here's a tip, you really don't need much brightness indoors and turn off GPS, wifi when not using it, and screen timeout to like 1 minute.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Myrmidon83:
Way ahead of you, my brightness is always 10% ish, same with gps and wifi, fb every 4 hrs and mails every 6.

I'm now rooted with S-OFF on gingerbread stock. Gonna install cwm and maybe try a different kernel. Any recommendations as to one which will work with stock?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gaarry:
No idea on the kernel, but I really do suggest a bigger battery. I just went back to the stock one for a few days and it was noticeably less.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Just use glite problem solved lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
I'm using bulletproof miui and my standby sits around 28mA with around 150-250 mA regular use. My battery lasts a full day with medium usage (4h screen on, wifi on, 18-20hrs unplugged total). I would say you're sitting a bit high with your battery consumption and could benefit from an undervolted kernel. I have my cpu clocked at 1ghz max these days..

Hope that helps!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Myrmidon83:
I'm thinking my battery just hasn't settled yet as I'm using the battery monitor app and it tells me I'm getting a 32mA draw with screen off but my battery is lasting only around 18 hours with light use and a lot of standby time. For a rough calculation: 1300mAh/32mAh = 39ish hours (standby), deduct 10 hours for messing around, I should be getting at least 24 hours I would think (very rough calculation).

Have only charged it maybe 5 times so far, its probably still being worn in as it seems to drain damn quick on standby at 32mA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
Possibly, do you know your voltage levels for each clock speed? I can get a good 35+ hours with light use and standby at night (~3 hours screen on with wifi connected always)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Myrmidon83:
I'm still on stock just now. Just realised that 'always on mobile data' was on, so I have turned that off as my sync apps will still work and I don't use push email. I'll try that over the next few days and see if it makes a difference as well as the battery getting charged with more cycles to break it in.

If that still leaves it to be desired, then I'm gonna put virtuous sense 2.0.0 on and use underclocking as that made a massive difference with my old wildfire.

What rom are you using bik_jack?
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
I'm using bulletproof miui but was getting roughly the same voltage numbers with cm7 nightlies before I switched to bulletproof in June.

Both underclocking down to 368mhz with the default undervoltage settings used in tsubus' kernel.

Of course, now I've realised that my network (3uk) no longer have a 2g contract with orange, so all this setting does for me is stop me receiving txts and calls with it off. Tch. Looks like I will be trying virtuous after all. :mad:

The standby battery drain doesn't make sense at all, almost like my battery isn't really 1300mAh.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kaijura:
I use an Anker 1600mAh battery that I got off ebay in my DZ. The seller had a sale of 2 going on for $15, not a bad deal. link to it is here

It's listed for the Incredible 2 / Incredible S, but it seems those batteries are a perfect fit for the Desire Z / G2. Doesn't need any aftermarket casing or modding.

Right now, I am using the ICS beta by tazinator and yesterday I got ~12-13 hours of playing around with it very heavily. My battery can last 22-28 hours with moderate and light use on a normal day.

Sadly, I don't have any if those issues you listed, Dialer usage and such even with CM7. Used to use virtuous sense but went over to AOSP/CM7 instead. Found AOSP being more nicer on the battery, but that's just my feeling - I tend to think Sense drains more battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Myrmidon83:
Yeah I think sense is a bit worse on the battery but I've really come to love sense, never really got on with cyanogen roms.

Turns out I was wrong about the data always on and my provider, it all works so I'll keep testing that before I start with roms.

I know mugen batteries are supposed to be good, any other recommendations for brands? I'll check the link out.

UPDATE: If battery monitor is to be believed, my global standby estimate is increasing with every charge, so maybe it is just a case of breaking the battery in. Now at 21.5hrs, I'll continue to monitor the situation, this might also be due to the change of data setting as well.
