In 0.4.1 this problem should be solved.

If it still occurs

Hi,

what about another market app? Amazon appstore isn't available in many countries so far, sadly it isn't working in mine :(

I cannot find other working market, tried to install google play, but it is throwing error in relaunch

Thanks for any suggestions

Getting paid apps onto nook

Is there any way to get paid apps onto the Nook. I can extract apks from my android phone but it installs the programs without maintaining the payment information. Understandable, but without market is there any other way I can get paid apps?
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
No piracy on XDA.

Go ask somewhere else.

Edit :

Sorry.. I misunderstood the question.

Have you tried using Titanium Backup?

If it would not work then I have a question.

Is it legal to "crack" apk using for eg. 'Lucky Patcher' if I already bought it on my other device?
[Nook Touch Android Development] npoon:
thx osowiecki. I am so new to this adb and root.

In your posting, you said "script for 'Gscript' to launch these commands from within NOOK.

umount /sdcard

mount -t vfat /dev/block//vold/179:17 /sdcard"

How to run commands within NOOK?

It looks like saving your remount_sd.sh.zip on SD card and runs from there?

Sorry if it sounds too silly.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
If you manage to connect do your Nook using ADB [wireless] that means "adb connect" , "adb shell" sends you to nook's shell

then you can proceed further.

First of all .. I' can't believe that installing apk's from sdcard still does not work. It was fixed and it worked for me.

What is your firmware version? Have you tried rooting the device once again using the latest 'NookManager'?

Running scripts from Gscript is a workaround.

If you really wan't to deal with this than try doing this :

1. Unmount 'nook' and 'sdcard' partitions in your Windows explorer. [if your nook is connected via usb cable to your PC]

2.

- adb connect [nooks ip]

- adb shell

paste

- umount /sdcard

- mount -t vfat /dev/block//vold/179:17 /sdcard

in your nook's shell console

3.Disconnect everything and see if you are able to install apk's from sdcard.

Gscript is just an application designed to run '.sh' scripts.

If above method does work then :

1. download 'Gscript.apk'

2. adb install gscript.apk

3. uzip my zip

4. place unpacked .sh in /sdcard/gscript/

5. Run Gscript and add script.

Market only works on 1.1 / 1.1.2 firmware

All the 'howtos' can be found in this forum.

edit :

fixed in the latest version. See 1 page.
[Nook Touch Android Development] npoon:
Thanks osowiecki. The firmware was updated to 1.2.1 through B&N automatically before rooted. I used NookManager rooted NST a few times as I tried to get a replacement for DroidSansFallback.ttf with Chinese characters (it didn't work well after all so I rooted again using original DroidSansFallback.ttf provided by NookManager).

I tried to install FBReader through Amazon store but got nowhere. It didn't prompt me any error. So I attempted sideloading its APK on SD Card. This time I got an error of insufficient space.

Any idea?

Honestly I don't know if I can handle Gscript.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
1. Adb install [apk name] should work no matter what.

2. Try to do this, root again and report back whether or not it helped.

http://xdaforums.com/show...2&postcount=88

If it does not help ask "jeff_kz" or "dq11" for help.

I don't have my "nook" anywhere near me so I can't perform any testing.

P.S

You do know how to set up ADB on Nook's side?

- connect to your wifi network

- run 'Konnekt' apk

- push connect button

On PC

- run cmd

- navigate to the folder that contains adb.exe

- adb.exe connect 192.168.1.xx

- adb.exe shell

- exit

- copy desired.apk to adb's folder.

- adb.exe install desired.apk
[Nook Touch Android Development] npoon:
Thx so much, osowiecki.

I tried rooting it again and found one message I overlooked before. Not sure if it is critical: "ModManager not available for 1.2.1" as my NST is 1.2.1.

Still can't install APK.

I will try ADB and let you know if I have any issue.
[Nook Touch Android Development] npoon:
I was able to use adb mostly following your instruction. I added one step "adb start-server" before connect. Thanks a lot!

Just used this program to restore my NST to factory settings, and then root. Worked great.

However, when I load the Amazon Store app, and search for Kindle, the Kindle App doesn't come up. How do I get it to show up in the Amazon App Store?
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
You can't. The version on the Amazon Store isn't compatible with the NST. You'll need to use an older version that is. See this post for a version that will probably work. You'll need to sideload it with ADB.
[Nook Touch Android Development] barchamb:
Well, there ya go. Thanks. That worked great.

I want to get android market running. Therefore after installing NookManager 0.5 I installed GlowNooter 1.12.25.

After applying both I can get market running. However the web surfing app "Opera Mini" doesn't work anymore.

Is there a way to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
[Nook Touch Android Development] digixmax:
FWIW I use Opera Mobile in lieu of Opera Mini as I found the latter very buggy on my rooted NST.
[Nook Touch Android Development] dwl99:
I have a Nook Simple Touch 1.2 with NookManager installed. I have never got on well with ADB and have always ended up installing huge programs (ADB + SDK) on my PC that never seem to connect to whichever Android device I am trying to modify. I was hoping to be able to use SnapPea to handle installations but it reports that the Nook does not have debugging mode enabled. Is there a way to do this?

Would it work if I added any apk's I wanted installed to \files\data\app\ in the NookManager image then flashed it?

Also, the version of Amazon Appstore installed gives an error message saying that it is not available in my region (UK) but it runs perfectly well on my other devices. Is it the US version that is installed with NookManager?

Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] kris00:
I have this same problem with the amazon appstore. Would also appreciate a response. I'm considering flashing back to 1.1 and re-rooting to get market working.

Have you tried wireless adb? that works for me.

[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
1. get 'org.apelikecoder.bulgariankeyboard' apk from /data/app/ (?) or somewhere else on the Internet.

2. uninstall 'org.apelikecoder.bulgariankeyboard' from your NST if you have installed it in the first place.

2. put "org.apelikecoder.bulgariankeyboard.apk" in /system/app/ using some file manager that can get root permissions like "rhytm file manager" [enable 'mount system ...' in options']

3. reboot

4. install "nook color tools" apk

5. select 'bulgariankeyboard' in 'nook color tools'

Does disabling B&N app mean that I can't access the Nook library (n button > Library)?

I'm just trying to install Cool Reader to better read my books (no GApps or ADW necessary). Tried the Glownooter route with Nook 1.1.5 and it got stuck at the Read Forever screen. Updated to 1.2.1 + Glownooter > Android but the CoodReader app can't refresh properly (no partial refresh, always black screen refresh) for some reason.

I'm now back to B&N stock and I'm wondering if using this would lead to a functional Cool Reader app with partial refresh.

Hey there. Just rooted using your method and it worked flawlessly. This was the only root method that I could get to work. There doesn't seem to be too many ways to go about it if you have updated to 1.2.1. A few questions.

Is there a way to put a home button on the status bar? Something that will take you directly back to ReLaunch?

Is there a way to move the status bar to the bottom of the screen?

Can you make the favorite apps section the default section that shows instead of the sd card explorer menu that is the current default?

Great work on Nook Manager by the way!

You can do it manually by renaming or deleting apps from /system/app folder using file manager with root access features(Root Explorer, for example).

Hey everyone, I need some help regarding the google market? The first time I went to google play and started a download and it started downloading but, after that, any app that I download will say 'Starting Download...' and never actually start it.

Also, if I go to the google play website, 'phone' comes up but when I install to the device, nothing happens on the nook. Same with on the nook, it says the app will be downloaded but there is no notification saying the download is starting etc (on the first download, the notification appeared)

Do I have to reinstall the gapps or something?
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
Read through the NTGAppsAttack thread for some ideas on how to fix this. There is nothing definitive - the market can be flaky for different reasons and some solutions work for one person but not another.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Just a few comments:

It seems that Nook Managers rolls up into the modified uRamdisk 3 unnecessary files,

"." as in current directory, init.rc.orig, default.prop.orig

Also, init.rc.orig seems to just be a copy of default.prop

The internal GZip is named "ramdisk.cpio" which it really didn't have to be.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jeff_kz:
The .orig files are included deliberately as backups of the original files. I don't know how or why '.' would be included. You can see the command for creating the cpio archive here

Definitely a bug, thank you.

It doesn't hurt, either, but it's unnecessary and I'll change it in any future versions.

Thank you for the comments.

Donation to Original Dev?

Maybe it was on the original post. But does the main dev have a donation method? This works well with my Nook. But a couple things are missing and I would like to contribute to making this more awesome than it already it.

Thank you.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jeff_kz:
I don't take any donations, but thank you for the gesture.

Feel free to make any suggestions here for features you'd like to see added. I can't promise to work on them myself, but the code is open source, well documented, and easy to modify so if your ideas are good you might find other devs willing to work on them. I am very willing to accept patches that stay within the scope of the core project. Other features can be added through the plugin system, like the excellent NTGAppsAttack package.

hey just rooted last night thanks to this guide i wanted to know does rooting drain battery since its on android 2.1?
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
If you disable Phone.apk and kill all apk's after boot, before sleep and after connecting to the internet you should not see much of a difference.

It all depends how many apk's you have installed.

I use TaskXP to kill useless running tasks and to switch between applications.
[Nook Touch Android Development] wealthy23:
Ok thanks I saw a quick drain from 100% to 94% I think turning it on and off instead of stand by drains it as well I will try that but how you disable phone app freeze it titanium backup?

And besides Dropbox app for downloading books wirelessly any other benefits for rooting?

I like the nook standard reading app moon+ reader doesn't work well and fb reader doesn't even load up but standard nook is great just wish you can share out of market highlighted text I just take a pic of the highlights with my phone cam if you or anyone can help with this area was well thanks do much
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
Benefits of rooting?

- Fast display mode if you use the right kernel

- games

- apks for pdf reading (APV, EzPdf, Ebooka)

- CoolReader for epubs, htmls and such

- QuickPic for images

- overclocking and downclocking CPU

You can highlight text in EzPdf and save it in original pdf file.

Coolreader also allows you to highlight text.

You can freeze all useless apk's using NookManager. Boot it and search for something like "disable B&N apk's".

If you want to leave some stock apk's running after freezing, run Rhytm File Manager as root (options) and copy selected apk's back to /system/app/ (or do it manually using 'adb'). NookManager only renames these apk's.

To get maximum battery life

- set Cpu governor to "on demand" (using for eg. CpuControl )

- remove Phone.apk and Phone provider .apk ,

- Don't turn off the device (booting eats battery). Just set sleep time for 2-5 minutes and let the Nook go to sleep automatically. If you put Nook to sleep manually, "Settings.apk" starts and eats a little bit of battery.

- kill apk's that start automatically after boot using "TaskXP"

Have I answered your questions correctly?

Wow thanks you answered it fully thanks again

Wifi - Is This Normal Behavior?

Newbie here. I rooted with Nook Manager and installed NTGAppAttack. All works well except that wifi doesn't connect when I am in the B&N applications. When in ReLaunch, wifi works fine. When in B&N, I am connected to my home wifi. However, when I try to connect to the B&N shop, I get "Sorry, a problem has occurred. Please try again."

Is this normal behavior? If not, is there a fix?
[Nook Touch Android Development] tj_f:
B&N Store Wifi

Whenever attempting to access the WiFi in any B&N store, it starts a reboot loop. it will continue to reboot the device until I get lucky enough to turn WiFi off.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

WiFi at home or other locations works fine.
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
A logcat from when it crashes at the B&N store would help diagnose the problem. The app alogcat might help with this since you probably won't be hooked up to a PC with ADB at the time.
[Nook Touch Android Development] clem11388:
Thank you sir :)

The main problems I am have are below in order of severity to comfort / nice features:

1. I just got an over the air update back to the 1.2.1 from B&N. (upon rooting the first time I had many issues, so I restored with the included "older" image and worked great.) Which has caused many problems loading the apps added by the Rooting process. And the Superuser APK is still install looks like. But won't load up at all. So I would say Root has be removed. The new Homescreen is still set as default though, which is odd. Can we disable OTA updates?

2. I really liked the previous popular way of rooting that included tools to change the actions of the page turn buttons. added Button Savior (could be replaced by utilizing the stock N button menu entirely) and it had a lovely option to rotate the orientation when the N home button is held for 3 seconds. LOVED that feature.

3. For me this actually would be priority number 2, but less for others. But I really don't like the Amazon apps store. For the Freedom Software aspect. I prefer installing apps from APK's. And I tried doing this but it tells me the file can not be parsed. But with the previous rooting method (touchnooter I think) it was easily able to install from APK's. I loved using the F-Droid repository of Apps. It operates like an Appstore, but all the apps in it are Free and Open Source software. So installing that from the available APK would acceptably solve this for me.

I am not a programmer so I can't add these things. But I will be willing to test out future version and do my best to give feedback. I don't know how to get logs so I would need advice on that part. But love this work so far. :D Specially the new home screen. At first I didn't like it, but got used to it and suites the E-ink very well.

Wifi Issues with B&N Stock Apps - Any Ideas

Maybe I don't know how to ask; maybe no one has an answer -- I don't know, but I'm going to try again. I don't wish to be annoying by re-asking the same question. I am just hoping someone can help me out or point me in the right direction.

I rooted with Nook Manager and installed NTGAppAttack. All works well except that wifi doesn't connect when I am in the B&N stock applications. When in ReLaunch, wifi works fine. When in B&N, I verify that I am connected to my home wifi. However, when I try to connect to the B&N shop or sync in the B&N Library, I get "Sorry, a problem has occurred. Please try again."

I even tried to install the nook.apk. It appeared to install, but nothing happened when I tried to start the app.

Is this B&N stock app wifi issue normal behavior?

Is there a fix?

If I use the Restore function in Nook Manager, will my NST be restored to its pre-root state, or might I be creating more problems?
[Nook Touch Android Development] wealthy23:
Did you delete any of the files in the battery optimization forum?

And you will be causing more problems by doing that for you want to return to fully stock?

And did you make a back up before rooting?
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
No. I have no problems with Library and Shop.

Unknown, but since I don't know why your NST is behaving this way there might be a fix if you can narrow down the cause..

If you restore the backup you took using NookManager from before you rooted it will return your NST to exactly the state it was at the time you took the backup. So, no you won't create any problems by doing so. This might be the best course to resolve your problem. Restore your backup. Verify everything works. Root using Nook Manager. Verify everything works. Apply NTGAppsAttack. Verify everything works. Same thing with any other changes you make. Apply them one at a time verifying Shop & Library work between changes. That way you'll know what causes the problem.
