[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch​

I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.

What it does:

Enables ADB via uRamdisk

Installs adbWireless

Installs Button Savior

Installs Amazon Marketplace

Installs su and Superuser.apk

Installs ADW + E-ink Friendly Theme

Installs Busybox & Busybox Installer/Uninstaller

Installs Gapps (Gmail, Market, Youtube, Others)

Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)

System Files that get Modified:

/system/build.prop - Enabling Google Check In

packages.xml - Allows Gapps to install properly.

framework.jar - Should allow a proper Android ID to generate.

Changes:

May 26, 2012 - Initial Release

Before you begin:

You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch Glow

You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.

You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.

You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Using the Nook Simple Touch can result in it becoming unusable (bricked).

You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
