[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ParanormalBat:
If you could upload all your .sav files, it would be really helpful. They are located in /data/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftG4HM/files

You must use root explorer to get there.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
yes of course, i know, but why would i do that?
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
This thread is for folks to post noob-friendly guides for hacks, mods, and other awesome tweaks for the Nook Simple Touch (NST). I'll update as I learn more or as folks post more interesting stuff, or if people have corrections or suggestions, and also to take account of new developments.

BTW- please don't quote the first post (or any really long post for that matter). If you accidentally do, please edit it out of your post.

GUIDE ONE)

Enable multitouch and norefresh

1) What you need:

nook simple touch

microSD card and a way to write to it (USB adapter or SD adapter and a card reader)

sd card with clockwork recovery image (from mali100) (I'll write my own guide for this soon)

A root file explorer (I suggest ES file explorer; free, simple, awesome)

both of these files on the root of the CWR SD card: norefresh (toggle version), and multitouch

2) Install multitouch:

Boot into CWR (insert your SD card and restart!)

choose "install zip from SD card" and then "choose zip from sd card"

select "multitouch.zip"

click "yes" (hint: it's the only one that isn't "no")

remove the sd card, then select "reboot device now"

3) Install norefresh apk

open ES file explorer

select norefresh.apk

click yes (did you really need a guide for that?)

That's it! Now, how do you use it?

4) Using your awesome tablet-esqe combination of norefresh+multitouch:

find the norefresh app in the drawer and open it. It won't do anything except flash the screen

Now, open a program you might want to use it with (pdf readers and simple games)

tap the screen four times, in a line starting from top left moving to bottom right (watch this video from marspeople if that doesn't make sense)

5

) Stand back in awe. Then go thank the devs

in this thread for norefresh (I think it's a combination of Bardo8430 and Marspeople's combined work, correct me if I'm wrong and I'll update); and this thread for multitouch (It appears to be some combination of wheilitjohnny and mali100; again correct me if I'm wrong).
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Welcome to the NST community! Oddly enough, I was thinking of creating a thread that will (hopefully) become stickied with quick-start stuff for new people. Might as well start here :D

GabrialDestruir gave a pretty good explanation about the different rooting methods, which can be found here (just ignore the part about TorimuNooter, development has been stopped and the links have been pulled).

I myself used MinimalTouch (called MinimalNooter on that page) before my Nook broke. It's a little more involved than TouchNooter, but in the end you'll be able to use the Market (Google Play?) sooner. I think there might be some issues with the 1.1.0 vs 1.1.2, but I didn't get the chance to update to 1.1.2 to see for myself.

Be sure to create a backup before you root in the off chance something goes wrong or you decide you don't want your Nook rooted anymore. Here is a link to the backup thread.

Once you feel like you know your way around your Nook well enough, you might consider some of these fun hacks:

NoRefresh - Makes the screen B/W, but will make the screen update MUCH faster and removes the ghosting for the most part

Multitouch - As the name implies, it enables multitouch. You will probably want to use this with NoRefresh.

Flash Player - Flash Player. On the Nook. You will need NoRefresh unless you like seeing ghosts

Video Players - Sure, there's no sound, but it's just fun to have a video on an E-Ink display.

USBHost - This will allow you to plug a keyboard or other USB device into the Nook's micro-USB port and have it actually do something. I think someone got a GPS working at some point... There's also a work-in-progress guide here.

Edit:

There's also this index for manually rooting and doing some other cool things with your Nook, such as changing the shutdown screen.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Thanks for putting your time into this, Googie. That response could become a thread itself if written as an OP. This is really helpful!
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
Hey googie- Thanks for the great start! I'll update the OP and the title; I agree, hopefully this will get stickied.

So does the "broken nook" mean that you are not going to be a part of this community any more? that would be a shame. I hope you can find another! Best of luck!

BTW- if anyone else has more information I'd be happy to add it to the OP. Depending on the amount of complexity of information received, I may not be the best person to have control over the new user sticky; if you want to write a full guide, you should probably do so in a new thread (to replace this one, assuming it gets stickied).
[Nook Touch General] fufutos:
I've searched a lot, but I can't find a "newbie comprehensive guide"... For example I've found how to root manually my nook simple touch, but I still can't find a way to install manually various .apk's

A sticky with all this basic stuff, would be perfect :)
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
That's what I'm hoping to create here. If I get some more suggestions, I'll update it. With all the development going on around here, it would be nice to have a newbie sticky! In particular, what I think what many people will want is a guide (or an all-in-one package) that gives root, installs gapps, and enables norefresh and multitouch. I love the devs, but sometimes the "how-to" threads get a bit complex or give too many options (think about how simple it is with an apple product; they dumb it down to one way to install. Give people a choice on anything and they'll get confused and won't do it. Sad but true). And without any stickies, this forum is... frankly, it's a jumbled mess of complex and often overlapping guides.

Once I get up to speed on this I'll try to create my own guide, but until then, I'm calling for you NST experts to link here to the most interesting stuff available; I'll sort and package it when it's ripe!
[Nook Touch General] fufutos:
I'll wait impatiently :-)
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
I updated the OP with a noob guide to getting norefresh and multitouch running. Anyone know who the mod is for this forum? If so, mind messaging him to sticky this thread?
[Nook Touch General] don't know:
Thank you very much Slack. Just received the Nook color and Touch and I don't have a clue about anything Android or coding but do want to make my Nooks more 'productive'. Some 'hand-holding' is much appreciated.
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
Me too! I just got mine Friday, so I figured if I'm going to spend all this time figuring it out, I might as well write it down. I think sometimes the devs get sort of wrapped up in all of the options, so that when you read their guides you have to choose between 4 or 5 options at different steps. As nice as that is to have choice, for most of us (especially those of us who just joined) just want a few simple hacks to start, and are willing to add stuff once we get comfortable. Additionally, the devs don't usually explain the choices (because they're usually explained elsewhere) so you have to track them down, and all the open webpages end up overwhelming your brain and you screw something up.

BTW- If you come up with your own noob-friendly guides, pop them in here and I'll continue to update the OP.
[Nook Touch General] fufutos:
Good job slack, one detail only: in some cases (like mine) nook is set NOT to allow application installation from other sources than market, so you have to change this setting from "nook color tools" , and if this doesn't do any good things get a little complicated http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24302191&postcount=114 :)
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Awesome! This is cool. Once I get back from the beach I will be following the guide.
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
Hey fufutos- I didn't have this issue. Can you write a little noob-friendly guide explaining where and when this needs to be done? If that's too much, just tell me where in my guide I should add a note about this.
[Nook Touch General] fufutos:
I think a mention and the settings change would be o.k. for start. For the rare unlucky guys like me you can provide the link , but they have to set up an adb server... not the easiest task for the occasional newbie...
[Nook Touch General] viny2cool:
oh great was looking for something like this...just got my nook simple touch...and as being a flashing whore..i cant stand using stock on any device :P
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
I am going to try my hand at creating a noob tutorial for MinimalTouch rooter, maybe with screenshots. I may even try to get a screenshot of CWM :D

Anyway, I will post it when it is done.
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
It's been a while since i updated this thread. Sorry, doesn't appear there's a mod for this forum (explains why there's no stickies anywhere...). If anyone want to write a new guide, please do so. One suggestion would be a guide for unrooting and returning to stock...
[Nook Touch General] eded333:
Actually to unroot or return to stock easily just use the Touchformatter, also on my sig.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
There is a mod (Mr. Highway)
[Nook Touch General] serupento:
Did you ever figure out what to do with those lines of code?

Also, I spoke to some friends and they told me that those security blocks are usually removed from legitimate root ROMs... does this mean that the NTG ROM on this forum is bad?
[Nook Touch General] Zorkman:
does this way of enabling multitouch also work on the NSTG ?

thanks in advance for responding
[Nook Touch General] RAFK:
rev 1.2.1 apk install problem

No, who would need a guide for that, do you think we're idiots!

[insert dumb looks here]

I rooted mine using the noogie method shortly after it came out. All good until the 1.2.1 update was pushed to my device. I could not install ANY apk, so I hardware restored and went in with glownooter (and then multitouch) like you describe. I can install market stuff now, which is cool, but I still cannot install non-market things like the norefresh.apk. Whether I select the download in Opera Mobile, or locate the file in ES File Explorer and select it, I get the same error:

Out of Space: NoRefresh could not be installed. Free up some space and try again. [cancel] [manage applications]

I think that the 1.2.1 update broke the ability to install stuff. Is there a workaround? Is there an on-device solution?

(My ADB computer died, and I hope not to set that up again.)
[Nook Touch General] osowiecki:
Protip :

'NoRefresh' and 'FastMode' offers two different methods of refreshing the screen.

Look it up and add info about 'FastMode' to the first message.

Also.. I've seen a couple of threads like this before. Why not just update them? ...
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Yes it did break installs. If you root with NookManager it includes PackageInstaller.apk from 1.1.2 to fix it. Don't know if its around here somewhere for you to download just the apk direct to the device. Do a search.
[Nook Touch General] RAFK:
rev 1.2.1 apk install problem

Gecko, Thanks for answering the question. I am not liking the 1.2.1 update!

However, I have the same problem installing 'packageinstaller' as I had with 'norefresh' (see above). No go.
[Nook Touch General] RAFK:
manual install?

background: Ok, I didn't use NookManager, and I fear re-rooting. I can't install Pachageinstaller.apk directly because that is the problem. V 1.2.1 prevents that.

question: How do you install a program manually? Like, in linux there is usually a way, right? Can you unpackage it and you move the binary to some location and chmod 777 ? or something like that?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Use something like ES File Explorer to get R/W access to /system and copy the .apk to /system/app , chmod 644 and reboot.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

I should note that the above method is for system apps like PackageInstaller.apk. Regular apps go in /data/app so you don't fill up the system partition.
[Nook Touch General] RAFK:
NST rev 1.2.1 apk install problem - SOLVED

Now THAT works. simple. I really appreciate being able to do non-market installs again. The B&N 1.2.1 update had broken that and it has taken me two months to figure out how to fix it. (yes, I'm that slow...) Now, for the good of humanity, let me spell this out for the next guy...

[edit: adb never broke -- you could still use that -- I'm referring to installing apk's directly from the nook]

In summary: If your NST has 1.2.1, and you want to install an apk from other than the Android Market:

* [assume rooted and market working]

* get ES File Explorer from the market

* choose a method, and back up your nook!

* (I used CWM's built-in backup on the glownooter sdcard I had re-rooted it with)

* load PackageInstaller.apk to your sdcard

* using ES File Explorer, copy the old packageinstaller.apk from /system/app somewhere else for safekeeping

* using ES File Explorer, become root and mount system directory RW (sounds hard, but is just two or three clicks)

* using ES File Explorer, copy the working PackageInstaller.apk to /system/app

* (straygecko thought I'd have to change the file permissions. It worked anyway)

* turn off root stuff in ES File Explorer

* power device off and back on

* using ES File Explorer, locate and select the apk you wanted to install in the first place

* visualize success!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I'm confused.

I use 1.2.1 and do a lot of installs with adb install.

How are you trying to do installs?

How does it fail?

Is there a logcat?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
1.2 breaks installs from a file manager on the Nook like ES File Explorer. adb works fine. This was discussed on the NookManager thread and jeff_kz posted that its permissions/elevated privileges related. Later in the thread he reverted PackageInstaller.apk to the 1.1.2 version as a fix.
[Nook Touch General] RAFK:
Perhaps I wasn't clear. I'll edit. I mean on-board installs. Sure, I used adb to set it up the first time, but that computer died / was a pain to set up / etc. It's also the principle -- my tablet computer needs to stand alone. ...and the 1.2.1 won't even let you install from internet (opera) downloads.

how it fails: The worst thing about the way that 1.2.1 broke installs is that it tells you that there isn't space -- you need to manage your applications. That's quite misleading and sent me on a marathon rabbit trail. I wasn't clever enough to capture logs, sorry.
[Nook Touch General] Donna80:
How would you apply the multitouch patch to the NST 1.2.1 rooted using NookManager please?

i.e. Is it a different method from Stage 2 of Guide One?
[Nook Touch General] RAFK:
I believe that the guide you refer to works as written.

​

"Guides and wiki's for new NST owners -- GUIDE ONE) Enable multitouch and norefresh"

​

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24143418

Did you mean 2.1.2, or 1.2.1?

personal opinion: I thought the multitouch a tad buggy. Cool, but not for me. ...and it does NOT uninstall, so back up your nook first if you are trying it.
[Nook Touch General] Donna80:
I tried the simple method from that page, installing multitouch.zip from a clockwork recovery image card, and the norefresh apk but it had no affect and I still can't multitouch zoom in Opera.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MoreYummy:
How do you put the unlock code without using other provider's sim card?
[HTC EVO 3D] Newby_Leader:
I need some help with the settings, i rooted my phone and i have the the wifi tether 3.1 app. It used to work, but idk i messed with the settings and something went wrong, hasn't worked again. Can someone help me put the settings to work again, for Evo 3d. Appreciate it people.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
I think you gotta select routing fix, mss clamping and select Evo 3d as the device.
[HTC EVO 3D] Newby_Leader:
Got that, but still doesn't upload or download anything, and when i try to wi-fi my laptop to it. it says settings saved on this computer doesn't match the requirements of this network :(
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
This sounds like a PC problem and not the WiFi tether. You could always clear all your settings in WiFi tether in: Settings / Applications /Manage / WiFi Tether / Clear Data... and then go in again, choose profile (3d)... and then the only thing needed is "routing fix."

Are you using it OPEN? or WPA security? I would suggest secured so that no others can drain your bandwidth. Also.. there may be policy restrictions in place on your PC which require encrypted connections.

Good luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jaredakelly:
would someone be kind enough to post up the stock email apk for the droid razr? i flashed a custom rom and the email client isn't included and i need it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Unzip any Ota, then extract the app you want with magic iso

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jaredakelly:
i've never done this before and am not sure what to do.

i downloaded the ota files and magic iso. i assume that i open the disc image file? i tried this and it says "can't find the file or the file isn't a cd image file!"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] alexpen:
But how did you get it lost??? :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Renane signed_system to system.img i.e. and try magic iso again.

Don't think folks will provide you their e-mail app for security reasons.

If you got it really messed, flash an ota rom, anyway...

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
What ROM did you install? If the Developer removed Blur from the phone it might not be as simple as re-installing the stock email app.

However, I'm currently running Abysm Extreme 1.1 which has the stock email app removed. All I did was download the standard version of the ROM which includes the old Gingerbread email app, extracted the email.apk, dropped it on my SD Card and installed it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MiGeCh:
hope this helps.

I have included all 4 apk with email in their name form system/apps folder.

Good luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jaredakelly:
thanks for the try but for some reason when i try to install any of the apk's it goes through the normal motions and then just says "application not installed" with no explanation.

yes i'm clicking the install from unknown resources box
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
You could download and app that installs .apk.

[Motorola Atrix 2] calebcoverdale:
Hey guys!

I just used the RebelROM, and I applied the 1% mod.... But somewhere between there I found out when I went to bed that when I tried to lock it, it didn't turn all the way off.

And also I can't seem to change my brightness.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
It could be any number of things causing that behaviour. First thing I would do is boot into recovery, clear the caches and repair permissions.

Running RebelRom Beta 3
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
KEB is right, it could be a number of reasons. Let's start simple.

Why did you flash a ROM for the A2 on your GSII? :o
[Motorola Atrix 2] imdrgonzo:
I would do as KEB suggests. If that didn't work, I would reflash the ROM since actually finding out what happened could be quite time consuming. It definitely isn't related to the 1 percent mod since I'm running it on Rebel with no issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] calebcoverdale:
Fixed it.

Before I posted I tried fixing permissions but forgot to clear my cache. I thought I would have been smarter than the noobs and actually do that.....

Thanks for the help you guys!
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
Glad to see you have it sorted out. :-)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] superhero1219:
I recently upgraded to ICS with the official OTA upgrade. My lock screen shortcuts have disappeared! I went to settings ---> personalize ---> display and checked off show launch bar shortcuts on lock screen, but they don't show up. I'm using Go Launcher EX, would that cause this? Is there a way to use a third party launcher and still be able to have shortcuts on the lock screen? :confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
the lockscreen shortcuts under ICS on sense 3.6 are the same shortcuts at the bottom of the screen on the sense launcher, if you use another launcher, you also disable the shortcuts on the lockscreen, only way to get launcher icons on the lockscreen now is with a custom lockscreen like widget locker :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Yes, an alternate launcher would disable your shortcuts. The following is a pic of my lockscreen. I am not using an alternate launcher, I'm using pure Sense 3.6.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dayer:
On my Sensation XE I'm using Go Launcher, but lockscreen icons work fine, I just used Sense launcher once to change the shortcuts.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mibikin:
To get the icons, go into the sense launcher to get the lockscreen icons. Then you can go back to Go.

Hey I have just joined xda, Although I have browsed through the optimus 2x section of this forum many times before. I am just looking for some things that I can do to my optimus 2x that can speed up its performance all around. I have considered overclocking , I previously installed cm7 and tried installing a new rom and had bricked my phone, luckily I had found the original fido canada os files online and reset the phone myself.

Obviously my phone is already rooted, I have removed some of the pre-loaded apps that run all the time and waste memory and battery. My optimus consistantly runs between 2450 and 2511 on quadrant.

Any advice would be apreciated! thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
owain's ICS ROM has outstanding CPU results in Quadrant. I think it's probably the best if you can live with the broken features.
