Can someone tell me how to swap ? :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hixvolnutt:
Its been said many times, that freeing more ram on your phone is not actually good. If you have read FAQs you can read it there for reference, search. Our android OS is not like any other OS e.g. windows, it manages your ram, it knows how and when to free ram.

For ram managing/optimazation search for:

1. Supercharger v8 script, again use search, with it you dont need any task killer, it just modifies the default values of how your android manages your ram. Result is, snappy phone, improve multi tasking capabilities, I use OOM group fixes+bulletproof option.

2. Juwe11 ram optimization script, but there is more noob friendly application that he recently made and is available on the market(free and PRO version) to replace his script, you dont need to apply anymore script, RAM MANAGER PRO does it all for you.

3. Use swap, the guide that has been provided in here is not noob friendly indeed, but I modified it abit to make it work for me, the hard part for me is using mini partition tool in partitioning my sd card, then I used Root explorer for pushing. Thanks to gerimis for his help.

4. Chainfire 3d, there is a guide in this forum somewhere, where it is explained. Reducing texture quality of an app actually frees more ram, e.g. PVZ.

Anyway I used supercharger and RAM manager pro interchangeably and chainfire 3d and swap for supplements and heavier games, supercharger for daily basis use, and RAM manager pro for hard gaming. :D

with custom 5 icon docks for touchwiz is it possible to relocate the "applications" icon from its far right position? it is not possible with a otb rom.

Have you tried an application like LauncherPro, or Go Launcher? They offer settings to change your dock, to have the icons in whatever order you want, linking to whatever you want, with any icons you want (there is even an ICS icon pack).

SideLoad Wonder Machine

Does the Sideload Wonder Machine allow you to sideload apps on NT 1.4.1?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TeamKATT:
Last night I rooted my wifes NT followed everything step by step indirects thread pulled up and the videos from youtube.

Everything worked perfectly and I installed the Honeycomb Launcher.

Next went into setting up TB to prevent the OTA's...still working fine

Started putting all my wife's books and everything else of hers on there and then I get a Honeycomb Launcher (mobi.SyndicationApps) is not working. Force Close...Force Close it...the launcher loads back up...same error message...hit force close...loads back up...same error message.

It would not let me do anything else except hit force close.

So I did the reset with the power button and the volume buttons 8 times.

Gonna try to root it again when I get off of work so my question is did I do something wrong in the root process/preventing the OTAs, or is this just a bug with Honeycomb and I should try a different launcher, or was it just some freak thing that has never happened to anyone else before? (I searched the forum all day looking for an answer but did not turn up anything useful)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
Honycomb is working here. Rooted via Indirect's script. Seems very solid.

NEW! It seems that the acclaim_update.zip file from goo-insideme.com it's having issues, so if you are having troubles making it work then download from here

Start Post Updated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xToxicInferno:
Here is a quick tip, on Indirect's newest version of his rooting script, it gives you the option to install which launcher you want right in the script (great idea btw) however when you select GO launcher it will take away the status bar on GO launcher home screen and disable (or maybe make it act as home button on single press) the n button. This is a issue as you can't go to the shop or library without going into another app first. The workaround i found for this was as such:

While rooting, choose Honeycomb launcher as your default launcher instead of GO launcher (if that is the one you so desire). Once you finish the root, go to the market place, download GO launceher EX and then simply uninstall Honeycomb Launcher.

I figured this tip will help a few people out.

Also not that i can vouch for it as i haven't done it myself, i would imagine instead of having to unroot and reroot to fix the issue, if you installed a different launcher (such as ADW launcher) then uninstalled GO launcher, then re installed it, then uninstall the other launcher, it would fix the issue. But that is simple guessing, so take it how you will.

(Just link to this post in the OP if you you like it, if you do i will delete this line via edit)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Thaks for the tip :) i will link it but the one post you made in another thread which is better explained.

Blocking the updater

I got a NT for Christmas and found this site to help me sideload apps. I followed the video contained in this thread: Stock Firmware]Restore Barnes & Nobel Nook 1.4.0 from SDCard....worked perfectly! However, I do not want to root my NT just want to sideload apps so I didn't follow the instructions for rooting the NT. My problem now is how do I block the updater on my NT to keep it from going back to the 1.4.1 system?? Thank you so much for your help!!

Hello Marissa you need to be rooted in order to block ota's updates.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MarisaAnn:
I was hoping you wouldn't say that! I'm pretty good with a computer but this is my first "messing around" with an NT. Does rooting ruin the NT, as in can it be changed back? If people are having problems with drivers and such when the NT is rooted, is it worth rooting it? All I really want to do is use 3rd party apps like those from Amazon. Thank you for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
You can always go back to a stock out-of-the-box NT with the acclaim_update.zip "magic sdcard" method by AdamOutler if you mess things up or if you just don't want all the goodies anymore.

Now you have an advantage here you haven't got the update so you more than good to go. I recommend you to root with indirects method asap (as soon as possible) before you get the update then make sure you block ota immediately though I would even go and freeze the devicemanager.apk with titanium backup to feel myself safer. You could try it, if you have issues with B&N apps after freeze then just simple unfreeze, so far everything can be undone just follow step by step the instructions plus the video tutorials and this thread with tips you be more than good. However if you have any doubt,issue we will be gladly to help.

This site rocks! I actually had already updated my nook tablet not knowing (duh) and had to root it. I followed the instructions provided in the developers threads, watched videos provided, and just finished it. It took me a while, but I figured it out after goofing a few steps. I'm all set to go, here's hoping the Titanium backup works to blocking those OTA's! :D

This may seem a really stupid question, but after the nook has been rooted I can't seem to find the android settings menu anywhere. All I get is the nook settings which are very limited. Is this unaccesible?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
The full Android Settings menu is not there ... but head over to the development section and look for an app called NT Hidden Settings. It does a good job of pulling together what is there.

Hi All...this is my first post but certainly not my first visit to this super awesome site..and I really really need your help before doing anything else an losing more of my time...Well I got my B&NNT for Xmas and I rooted it.. and of course after ~5days it got hit with the 1.4.1 update...so back to square 1. I used the microSD card to revert back to 1.4.0 and diligently rerooted and this time made sure I blocked the auto-updating...I did that 2 days ago...installed everything (apps/widgets..you name it) I had on it secure that I had done everything right..then left it to charge when I went to sleep...woke up this morning...went to add something to my GO widget calendar...then BAM!! It flashed something about unauthorized something or other and went into a factory reset...saying it's clearing all data and going to take a few minutes!!!!! Well I was at it;s mercy and couldn't do anything while it just erased away all my setting apps widgets basically ALL my hard work...so when it finally came back up...it was old stock NT...nothing was there...no Button Savior..no Go Launcher EX nothing....the one good thing is It didn't update to 1.4.1..It's still 1.4.0...My question is WTF happened???? Sorry for the profanity...but I'm still a bit peeved...and 2. Is there ANYWAY I can get all my settings and stuff back and never have this happen ever again? Can B&N do a factory reset wirelessly? If they can and keep doing that and I can't do anything about it...I may have to return my NT =( Which when it's working the way I like it pretty awesome...Someone please help?!?!?

Third update 6/11/2012

Well I finally got it to work but not in a graceful manner. I actually setup the Nook per instructions (stuff like debug on, auto mount off) and cleared all my drivers. Rebooted the PC and hooked up the cable but after a few seconds I pulled the cable which interrupted the driver installations. The result is a USB Composite Device and a Portable Devices (F:\, G and MyNOOK). If I were to keep the cable connected then I would end up with 2 B&N Nook Tablet USB Devices, No Portable Devices and a USB Mass Storage Device.

So here is the strange move: I made ready the next two scripted steps and launched them before the PnP could finish the addition of the disk devices and their drivers. So now I have all the Disk Drives, and the USB Mass Storage Device along with the Portable Devices.

The scripts did run and the Nook Rooted.

Yes I am still on version 1.4.0, and the PC is Using Windows7. Not sure how anyone was able to get the drivers to update in device manager since these drivers would need a higher certification score/rating than the Windows driver, which from what I can tell they do not. So every time I selected "update the driver", Windows would come back and say they had a better driver (which in there way of thinking they did, just not the driver I wanted, it is all about that sign cert)!

Second update:

In the instructions there is a reference to turning auto mount off. I am not sure what device this instruction is for: 1) Windows auto mount the memory device on USB connection? 2) Nook auto mount which can be unselected using the hidden app (which is a nice tool to have)? 3) PnP at the onset of USB connection? Any ideas? In using the "hidden setting" app I have decided the auto mount is in reference to the Nook.

My current problem is the Nook initially is added as an "other" device (which I believe is what I am looking for, including the <!>), then the PnP cycles about four more times and the Nook ends up as two "Disk" devices and down in the USB section there is a ADA composite driver active.

First updated:

True I was able to added Android devices with the drivers, but my WIN7 keeps auto loading a mass storage device. So no adding a Legacy device did not work.

I hope this is not too dated.

I was able to get the drivers straightened out (WIN7) by using the driver fix methods posted here (both) and then instead of scanning for new hardware I added the hardware as Legacy Hardware. Scanning would not work either would running a driver update. I did use USBDeview, but the second fix method sort-of bypasses the need for it.

I haven't gotten any further but I was able to setup three devices (I assume all three are necessary), and now have the <!> notification in the device manager.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nearlyno0b:
Thank you so much for outlining all of that in one place! That is exactly the info I was looking for. I originally used indirect's root back in 2011 when I first got the NT, then managed to block the B&N updates, and things have been running fine except for a WiFi issue that began sometime in July. But now the kids would like to try the new Xbox Smartglass app, which only runs on devices running Android 4.0 and up... And your post answered my questions about the process of upgrading to CM10 via SD card and what the differences among all the root methods are.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

I just want to say a great, big, THANK YOU to Fillimerica for that post!! I got my NT back in 2011 and did a "level 1" root, and blocked B&N updates. Things have been going well, except for a WiFi issue that developed around July 2012... But now things like the new Xbox Smartglass app are available, and my kids are dying to try it. I've been trying to figure out the difference between all the rooting methods, and this post cleared it all up. :good:: :victory:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hello @styme001 what it happened to you is that you forgot to remove the acclaim_update.zip that you used to go back to stock days ago and it just did its work :D. So now do so and make sure that after you setup your nook as you want create a backup with titanium backup, so next time it won't be lots of work, also every launcher has an option to backup its settings, do that too.

Rooted Nook Color, but new to NT

I had rooted my Nook Color and then was running CM7 off the SD card. Eventually, the screen had issues, so I returned it (still under warranty) and got the Nook Tablet. I'm pretty much liking it stock, but would like to root it. (Ideally, I'd like to run an OS off the SD card again, but I understand that's not available yet.) I'm a little lost with all the different threads and links floating around. I want to be sure I'm using the latest, and most problem-free, method.

Can someone point me to the latest, and easiest, rooting link? Indirect's, yes?

Thanks, Lori
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hello @loribuono if you want to keep using the B&N apps then yes use Indirect's root very recommended and is more problem-free while snowball method is only for those that don't want any of the B&N stuff in the nook but the whole Android experience though still has some issues with apps.

Be aware too that not all the apps in the market will work but it has been said that sideloading them might work (eg. facebook, twitter work that way)

Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] loribuono:
Thanks Veronica. So, what are the limitations, then, with Indirect's root? Things I'd be able to do with Snowball's that I won't be able to do with Indirect's? And what apps, specifically, are you referring to when you say B&N apps, besides the reader? Like, the Scrabble game I installed from the B&N shop, for instance? Any app loaded from there?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
With Indirects you have both worlds B&N and Android while in snowball you just have Android world (B&N e-reader, Default Home,etc will be gone)... and basically is the B&N E-reader i was referring which is their main app, the rest non B&N proprietary apps you can get from other markets.
