i downloaded the homecatcher apk. i'm unable to install it. i tried going through hidden settings to allow unknown sources, but the checkmark box won't stay checked. i looked up how to change that on the thread, but the solutions aren't working.

any advice?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Ashfire:
aldhere accent

this happened to me as well, for about a day. i think when i finally got it to stay checked, i was tethered (connected to the comp with usb debugging), but i'm not positive.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mistercakes:
i think i need TPGS launcher to use this? (the debugging mode) is there an alternate way? i can't find a way to install TPGS and it's not in the google play store.

thanks so far!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Ashfire:
debugging mode is also in hidden settings. (application settings > Development > USB Debugging & (uncheck) auto mount). also, try (hidden settings > hacks > unknown sources hack).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mistercakes:
i tried what you said, the box still remains unchecked. open for suggestions!

thanks so far.

Now What?

NT 1.42

Followed the instructions, all went well, got the brown box, waited at least 10 minutes, powered off, took out the chip, powered up......

Standard Nook boot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Farleytron:
ColFrank: You don't wait ten minutes at the brown box.

You should see the box, then the Nook boot logo.

Then wait about 2-5 minutes.

If you were stuck at the box logo, your SD card probably didn't work.

Try a different card.

Mistercakes: Use the NT Hidden Settings app installed onto your Nook using the Marketplace (Play).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ColFrank:
Farleytron: My miss-communication

Got the brown box, then Read Forever and then waited.....

Powered down, took out chip, powered up......... Standard Nook
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] timpilcher:
It's going to look just like a standard Nook, even if it is rooted.

If you use the 'search' option, then select "apps" as what to search for (there will be a drop down under the search bar once you start typing) then search for "Market" or "Play" . . .

Once this root takes, that is really the only noticeable difference until you start installing more software.

I was able to root my Nook tablet one the first try. Thanks. Now I am trying to load the NT Hidden Settings and my Nook is not on the list of devices. How do I get the file onto my Nook?:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
once its rooted you can get it from the market.

Search for market in the search thing (change the dropdown to apps first)

I did another post (#126) that may help more.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

I haven't tried it, but this post has a method for getting more apps. Its a way to trick the market into thinking your NT is some other device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398310

I read the whole thing and it looks like the droid 3 option is the best.

It also appears that doing this may make B&N content unavailable.

There is also this method, but it appears it does not currently work. Hopefully the dev is working on it, but i don't know.

Maybe i missed something. The version on my NT is still showing 1.4.2. Should that have changed? I was also unable to locate a downloadable version of Nookie Froyo. When i booted up with the sdcard i did get the brownbox.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
Should still be 1.4.2

Nookie Froyo is not for this install, he was just using their instructions on how to get the image onto your SD card. In the instructions on the external link you replace nookie froyo with the image that jichaun provided in his instructions.

You need to search for the market to find out if you have root. See post 126.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mistercakes:
I did follow that advice and it still does not work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] esthernrob:
i have found that if you download apk or transfer from another device, ie. phone, to your pc then transfer to nt and install via file explorer or what not they work...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mistercakes:
okay, i'll give this a try? i'm not quite sure how to do that, but i'll figure it out. i hope that's pertaining to me!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
If you have an android phone you can use astro file manager to back up any app you have. Then you use the file manager in astro to email that .apk to youself. Open the email and click the attachment. It will ask you to run or install it . Do that and youre all set.

I think you have to have an sd card inserted. You may be able to get it to go to the internal but i dont know how.

Oh yeah. Or you can find a download of the .apk on the internets and download it from there instead of your email.

Ive been investigating making the market work so i can make the process easier for my wife. Thats why i posted those other links.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mistercakes:
okay, so i installed a file manager on my android. i go to install homecatcher.apk and a prompt comes up saying "for security, your phone is set to block installation of apps not obtained from android market"

ok so it opens up settings, and i'm back to where i started. i try to click unknown sources, i click the checkmark, and then i click back. when i go to view my options again it is unchecked as if i haven't done anything.

any more ideas?

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

all of these issues are occurring while in NT hidden settings. i enter NT hidden settings. i try to click the checkmark in application settings for unknown sources, and it doesn't work. i click back, and then shows back up unchecked.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nbkcu33:
My misunderstanding. I was doing a Google search for the Marketplace, not loading the Market App.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dee8tee:
Help

I do all the step on post 1.

when brown box --> read forever -> wait 2 mins -> turn off -> take out sd card -> power on -> default setting and NT Ui , no changes :(

what happen :(

my fw is 1.4.2 NT 8gb
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
Did you search for the market?

See post 126

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I had that issue with the unknown sources check box not staying checked with one of my NT's. I just kept trying to get it to work and eventually it did. I think to get it to work i had to click it then reboot then click it again or something like that. All i can say is keep trying different things and it will eventually work.

Also, There are two different places that show allow unknown sources. I believe one is under apps and one is under hacks. Try clicking the hack one then the app one then reboot then try the app one.

I did uninstall and reinstall the app once, but that didn't work. (at least not right away)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nbkcu33:
I have attempted the search for the application "Market" and there are no results found. What am I doing wrong? I was able to load NT Hidden Settings and created the superuser profile. Still no market.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] timpilcher:
Look for "Play" . . . Market may have updated to Play Store in the background.

Also make sure you have selected "Apps" in the drop-down from the search bar.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
Where did you get NT Hidden Settings from/ how did you install it?

Curious because i got mine from the market and without NT Hidden Settings i wouldn't be able to load apps from unknown sources.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
Mrcakes.

I found this, it explains how to get hidden settings to do the unknown sources thing. I didn't watch it but it sounds like selecting and then rebooting is the trick.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nbkcu33:
The Play store app was available, Thanks.

I was able to force it to load from the Play Store. Actually I am not sure how I got it to load :confused:. From the Play store I went to download it on my Gmail account and I figured it would go to my HTC Inspire phone but it loaded to the Nook.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to re-partition and format the SD Card. I tried to use DISKPART but the card is not listed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] timpilcher:
Are you using an SD card reader attached to your PC (SD card slot, SD card USB reader, etc.) or do you have the SD card in your Nook? I'm don't think DISKPART can see the card if it is in your Nook.

That's probably a good thing - Nook internal 'usable' memory is set up like an SD card, so it's possible that DISKPART might see the Nook internal memory as an attached SD card and that could lead to some very bad accidents. ;-)

If you don't have a micro SD reader for you PC, just try it on a friend's who does - or get a USB SD reader. They are under $10 and are really handy if you are going to be side-loading apps and trying custom ROMs...

[Vibrant General] jonen:
this may be outdated/unnecessary but i figured that i'd share / hope others would share too

im still skeptical about moving on to ICS for the vibrant just bc i need a phone that works 100% correctly all the time... so im still on froyo.

currently running bionix fishman mod final2 w/ bali-x @ 1.2ghz

essentially froyo tweaked in many ways w/ the appwidgetpicker

along with the miui camera, s.gps2 for gps fix, setcpu, and bln

is anyone else flashing any additional necessary files when they flash their roms??

share! :D
[Vibrant General] jalaldaniel:
I'm on the newest version of ICS Passion that released yesterday and my phone is 100% functional.
[Vibrant General] jonen:
i was looking for froyo experience comments to compare to :)

i have been reading up on way too many accounts of various ICS issues so i wanted to consolidate the best of the best for froyo users for those who don't want the newest software just for the sake of having it :p
[Vibrant General] JediDru:
Fishman is good. My needs are different. I need a Rom that is atleast 2.2.1. So the capacitive buttons dont blind me on each screen press. I'd recommend ultimate rom or biwinning with the sense or sgs2 theme. I also use Bali undervolt kernel. If you haven't already test out the modems for your area. For instance for me its KB1.
[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
I was on ICS Passion and 100% functionality is a stretch. Browsing through the thread reveals that damn near everyone else has problems too. I have issue with these devs that claim everything works when it's clearly a lie.

I'm using Fishman's 2.2 rom right now. No need to flash any other files for my needs. So far it's been pretty good.
[Vibrant General] jonen:
i agree... im still on the fence of flashing an ICS rom but i think ill wait another couple of weeks bc im in no hurry to move on from a 100% functional rom

personally i think the miui camera is essential and am not sure why more people dont flash it over their roms. i use that & the stock hd recorder for a better camera experience
[Vibrant General] shrty4luv:
i also went back to a 2.2 rom...TARD...can yall post the links to the extras...i would love to try that s.gps fix...think what it was...

[Vibrant General] Oxirane:
CM9's 16B is so functional that I put it on my Dad's phone, and he says it's running much better than it did before on Bionix. The only issue he and I have been having is the GPS, which never has worked from the beginning for us anyways, and very minor things (like the menu for toggle widgets is called lockscreens or something).

ICS is pretty awesome. You may want to give it a shot... I recommend the Icy Glitch kernel to go with CM9. :D
[Vibrant General] LS1_01:
Is the official GB available for this yet?
[Vibrant General] kxlling:
No, I'll be amazed if it ever is since the vibrant is close to 2 years old.
[Vibrant General] jonen:
when you say never worked, do you mean it as GPS ideally should? or even to the low standards of how the vibrant's GPS is supposed to work?

personally since everything works 100% as best as it possibly can right now on my vibrant with bionix fishman mod without a hardware gps fix, i'm very reluctant to move onto ICS if the GPS wont even lock within around 30 secs or so like i can get it to do with froyo especially if it is something i need eventually

minor things like menu names i can definitely deal with, but if froyo's GPS works better overall compared to an ICS rom, i see absolutely no reason to make the switch with this phone. if i need ICS that badly, i will get a new phone :)

agreed on that point... i would money down that an official GB release will never happen for the vibrant.

[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Lol it's like people don't read the ROM thread they just flashed. This was the troll part of my post.

Here's the helpful part: I'm going to take a wild guess, and say you flashed one of Joelz9614's ICS roms. With that assumption, native USB debugging/mounting doesn't work (there's hundreds of posts about it). That's why your device won't get recognized in cmd. We've learned to work around it by just rebooting to bootloader, and then once in fastboot, run your fastboot cmd's and they'll work.

What you're really asking for is how to be stock, rooted?

Back to trolling. Check a sticky. I'll even be slightly less of a troll, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444285
[HTC EVO 3D] Newby_Leader:
No i did that i waited till it was in fastboot to plug it in and and attempt to push the rom. It still kept saying it wouldnt connected. Then i attempted to flash in recovery without cmd now, i wiped, all cashe, deviac and factory reset, then i zipped file and now it turns and goes into a blackscreen and wont come on.

So is there anyone actually useful then these idiots that are attempting to troll cause they can't read my post right?

[HTC EVO 3D] Newby_Leader:
Well i tried that, copied exactly onto the SDcard loaded, i know how to update it or whatever like i did on my Evo 4g. But it was way to fast of a download and updated way to quick to work. Wheres the original website you got that link from.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
That wasn't a rom. It was radio and firmware updates. Flash that first then the stock rom I posted on the first Page through recovery. Everything is posted I got from the dev section

We're comin from a pure power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
You're still being too vague, "...in fastboot to plug it in and attempt to push the rom." What is your attempt to push the rom?

"Then I attempted to flash in recovery WITHOUT cmd.."

If you have hboot 1.5, you should always be using cmd to get you properly to recovery.

From fastboot, you should run "fastboot boot yourownrecovery.img"

Which will take you to recovery (this method is assuming you're hboot 1.5).

From recovery, you need to Mount USB, push the ROM to the root of your SD card.

Then wipe cache, delvik, factory reset, and then flash the ROM.

EDIT: Blackscreen and won't come on? Sounds like a...(don't wanna be a dbag and say it, but) brick. ):

I bought one of these.. I thought it was nice.

BUT it did have a drawback that I dint like.

The edges of it came too close to the touch screen.

To press the home, menu etc buttons.. the edge came close to where you have to press..

My finger had to touch the edge of the cover and the screen at the same time...

BUT.. since it was so cheap..... I decided to take a scissors and trim the material back about a 3/8ths inch.

it was tough going around those four inside corners.. but I like it 100% now..

No more interference when touching the screens edge.
