Thanks for this thread and to the many XDA contributors working on NST and NSTG.

I am currently getting "insufficient storage" warnings whenever trying to download anything with UC Mini Brower, even as small as 1.75kb .acsm files.

I am downloading these to test Overdrive functionality with second more complete certificates provided by [MENTION=2662726]tshoulihane[/MENTION] in the other thread concerning Amazon appstore.

Is an SD card required to download any files in UC Mini?

Unfortunately, I don't have the MicroSD around for a few days.

Changed all partitions to RW in ES File Explorer in case it was a permissions issue, but no luck.

Removed and re-installed UC Mini a couple times, made sure there was no files stuck in app/data.

Searched the UC forums and could find some similar complaints but no solutions.

Please let me know if you have some advice, thanks a bunch!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Overdrive works fine with the updated cacerts file and UC Mini will allow you to log in. The only downside is that the search button does not show for some reason.

You can change the downloads location but I suspect that if you install without an SD card it will default to internal.

Do you really have a storage problem? I have a lot of apps and still show 214 mb of storage free. I don't have any content stored internally but it would take a lot of ebooks to fill up the available storage.

[MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION] thanks for your input - really appreciate your helpful posts on various threads.

You're correct, and I could have explained more clearly, the NSTG does have space - according to the file manager settings, /media has 236Mb free(236732K), but UC mini's download path is /sdcard/UCdownloads. sdcard is 0Mb. It's the "insufficient storage" error message when trying to download that seems to indicate the download path is incorrect, but I can't determine how to specify the download path in UC mini browser

I only used my NSTG for Overdrive, so would love to get it working again.

I do recall overdrive working on firmware 1.1.5 with Nookmanager 0.5.0 - one difference was having an SD card installed so that I could access and install the apks. After a period of non-use and then the Overdrive malfunction, I manually updated to 1.2.1 firmware, factory reset, and tried again with the various threads - the differences now being:

1. Update firmware to 1.2.1

2. Nook ModManager installed - which does not installl on 1.1.5

3. No SD card for apps - connected NSTG through USB and copied apks directly to /media/My Files

4. UC Mini browser installed

5. New certificates installed

I've also noticed that my screen saver has been stuck on Bronte Sisters and does not change to others images any longer.

I will install an SD card and see if I get path options in UC mini and go from there.

Will keep you updated.
[Nook Touch General] truematic:
I found a spare 256Mb(haven't seen those in awhile) card in my drawer and formatted and installed that into my NSTG - that solved the "insufficient storage" error.

But now when I click the downloaded astm file, Overdrive opens with an error:

"Error downloading [book title] - EPUB File. (error code 1060)"

The first search results for this error indicates weak wifi connection, which does not seem to be my case.

Anyone else face this error and how to overcome it?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Just a shot in the dark: try changing the storage directory in the Overdrive app to the SD card.
[Nook Touch General] truematic:
Within Overdrive Media Console, it was already set to save downloaded files to Memory Card, so I tried to download books after switching storage to Internal Storage, then to Device Storage, and back to Memory Card - still the same 1060 error.

In order, I've tried each of the following changed followed by a download attempt - each failed attempt was followed by a revert in hopes that I could pinpoint the cause:

1. Deauthorize and reauthorize Adobe ID within Overdrive settings

2. Sign out of my library and sign back in with Overdrive ID instead

3. Change SD card to newly formatted 16GB Sandisk

4. Authorize Nook through ADE on desktop

None of this has resolved the 1060 error.

Looking at your setup, could the non-stock kernel you are using make this difference?

We are using the same version of Overdrive Media Console, UC Mini, and cacerts(second more complete one).

On a side note, I went into Screen settings on the Nook Settings menu and switched to Nature and then back to Authors - this caused the screensavers to rotate on sleeps again(quite fond of the illustrations and wish there were more:)).

Let me know if you have anything else in mind - I just downloaded some books through USB and ADE last night so I may let it rest for a couple weeks while I finish these titles. Would be great if I could get Overdrive working again though, since this e-ink is treating my pupils so nicely.

Thanks for all your suggestions!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I hate puzzles like this because they always make me feel like there's a little demon hiding in the device which is having a good laugh at our expense.

So just to be sure: if you use UC Browser to download the acsm file from the library site, you are unable to download the book accessing that file with the Overdrive app?

And...if you download the acsm file on a PC and transfer it to the NST, you also cannot download the book?

If the answer to both of those is "yes", I would clear the cache and data of both UC and Overdrive and then uninstall them. Reboot the NST with the SD card this time, and reinstall the two apps.

If that does not resolve the issue, a logcat might help, although in my limited experience it's often not actually that enlightening...

Did you ever switch back all those folder permissions to what they were supposed to be?

I hate this "advice", but if you only use the device for this one purpose then a factory reset should not be too painful. If you go that route to exorcise this particular demon, be sure to re-root using the correct method. Not all methods work on both the glow and non-glow versions. I'm pretty sure you already know that.

I've been having the same problem as [MENTION=7914209]truematic[/MENTION]. The sign in issue with Opera was solved by installing UC browser (thank you [MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION]!) I didn't have any issues for a few days. Was able to download the ascm files straight to my nook ST/G and open and download the ePubs in Overdrive. However, after a few days I started getting the 1060 error. My Overdrive is set to save to sd card and the card has 13 GB free. I also tried using Aldiko to download and got an "import failed E_STREAM_ERROR: CURL returned I" error. Cleared the cache on UC browser, wasn't sure how to clear cache for Overdrive, but deleted and reinstalled both apps. Still unable to download. Not sure what changed. I didn't tweak any settings after installing UC browser the first time, when it initially worked. This is probably stupid, but did something change with the epubs themselves, after the libraries updated to the new Overdrive?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Hmm....

OK, I'll try a few books today and see what happens.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, so I now have the same issues as everyone else, all in the space of a few weeks!

A logcat of a download attempt shows the Overdrive site as unreachable from the URL it's trying to use. When I try to access the URL via browser on my PC, I get the dreaded 404.

I would have to try a logcat on a functioning Overdrive version to see if a different URL can be seen, however, short of getting into the app code, I don't see a way to deal with this. Version 2.6 will not install. Who can find something between 2.3 and 2.6 that will install?

Actually, that may not matter. If they pushed out updates for the new url or the newer versions have some way of dealing with such changes, we are SOL :(
[Nook Touch General] cjpicci:
That's unfortunate :( At least we can still borrow Overdrive books as Kindle books, that is until our old version of the Kindle app is no longer supported...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Wait--that works? That makes less sense. I need to try that and watch the logcat.

Edit: I am unable to negotiate the Amazon sign-in with the UC browser, so that's not going to work.
[Nook Touch General] cjpicci:
Oh, what I mean is you can use another device with a modern browser to check out an eBook in Kindle format and have it sent to your Amazon account. After that you can just download the book through the Kindle app.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
R.I.P. Overdrive 2.3.0.1

As I discovered. Thanks.

So, to summarize the bad news:

You

cannot

use the Overdrive 2.3.0.1 app any longer to select/download ebooks seamlessly on your NST/G. Beyond problems with various browsers that can't negotiate sign-ins at one site or another, it appears that even when provided with the acsm file which has been downloaded on a PC, the app cannot download the EPUB. This is either due to a changed URL (as suggested by a logcat) or perhaps to a change in format, maybe something to do with the Adobe DRM. Since you generally can't transfer a downloaded ebook from one device to another, this also is not an option. In other words, you can't even read an ebook with the app. So....R.I.P.....unless someone can find a newer version that will install and work. I'm doubtful. Several library sites I looked at now specify Android 2.2 as the minimum, saying it's an issue with the ebook format (DRM?) not the older app.

How can I read Overdrive books on my NST/G?

1. You can use a PC to checkout and download an EPUB book and then remove the DRM protection, if you desire. Calibre has a plugin that can do this (tested today). Then you can transfer the ebook to your device and use the stock reader (or whatever you use for EPUBs).

2. You can use a PC to checkout a Kindle book. This will take you to Amazon.com where you sign-in to your account and choose which device the ebook should go to. The next time you fire up the Kindle app on the NST (with Wi-Fi) you will see the ebook appear (tested today). It will expire based on your library's lending policy.
[Nook Touch General] c1gum:
So sad about Overdrive, but I guess it had a good run. Main reason I rooted my NSTG was for ease of borrowing library books on the fly.

I forgot you can borrow books in Kindle format. (Thanks [MENTION=7160018]cjpicci[/MENTION] for the reminder about that!) So, just for kicks I tried using Opera mobile to see if it can sign in to Amazon. Amazingly, it works. I clicked on the "Hello, [your name]" and after several tries managed to scroll down to "Manage your content and devices". From there, I saw the book I had just borrowed, but the page takes a very very very long time to fully load. After impatiently clicking on the actions button, and the select button 15 or 20 times and not seeing any results, several minutes later the "deliver" buttons and the "deliver menu" started popping up and toggling on and off. If you are patient enough to wait through all the screen refreshes, theoretically it should be possible to deliver the library book to your Nook's Kindle app. But it is a seriously cumbersome process, especially seeing as how you have to sign in to the library from UC browser in order to borrow the book in the first place. I suppose tweaking the opera browser settings might help. But at this point it just seems easier to pre-load books from my pc onto the nook before I leave home, or just use my tablet to do all the check out, sign in stuff etc. and then just send it to the kindle app on my nook. Tho I have to say, kindle app is not my favorite for reading in the nook. Oh well. Anyone looking into the open android ereaders? ;)
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Yes you can do as you described. I, too, was surprised to see that I could sign in to Amazon via Opera Mobile, but what is the point? Since you can't negotiate checkout from your library with Opera Mobile, it makes more sense to checkout books on your PC (or modern tablet) and then you will be taken to Amazon to sign in and send your book to the desired device. Boom! The book appears on your NST/G in the Kindle app (I know, not my favorite reader either).

Considering the age of Opera Mobile and the need to negotiate sign-in security (not to mention sophisticated HTML that the browser was never designed for) just to get at ebooks via Overdrive or similar services, I think the seamless approach is now a thing of the past with the Overdrive app broken. Unless, of course, you purchase ebooks from B&N or Amazon via the onboard apps.

Hey Guys,

i ran into some problems when i wanted to remove the navigation bar of my Nexus 10. So i decided to write this little Howto.

You might ask why anyone would want to do that. I think the Phablet UI eats up way too much screen space and after i installed GMD Gesture Control i didnt even need any of those buttons anymore.

I did some research and stumbled upon this article:

http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-en...-any-android-ice-cream-sandwich-rom-tutorial/

Basically its very easy. You have to get the your framework-res.apk and extract the bools.xml file using the APK Tool.

Then you simply change config_showNavigationBar to false and recompile it using the APK Tool. After doing that you have to extract the resources.arsc file from your new framework-res.apk and use Winrar to replace that file in the old framework-res.apk. (Use STORE method!)

(Howto use APK Tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466100)

I ran into some problems however and couldnt successfully decompile the framework-res.apk. Thats because the current version (as of now) of APK Tool doesnt support JB 4.2.1. I did some further research and was able to complete the task with the Prerelease 3 of the APK Tool. I will attach the Prerelease of that version to this Thread. Please thank the developer of APK Tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755243

When you have recompiled the framework you simply have to replace the old one on your device with adb. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE! because in case you make a mistake it might result in a boot loop!

You apply these changes at your own risk dont make me responsible for any bricks!

This is my first tutorial so the didactics are probably not perfect.

Thanks for reading and Good Luck!

I'd love to start working on a ROM with someone. I'm trying to learn on my own with just what I can find on google and here at XDA. I have gotten the build environment running using the guides from source.android.com and that's it. I've been flashing ROMs for a year or so. I have a Toro and two old Moto Droid 2s. I really enjoy working with Android, but I don't know enough. I really want to learn though. I'd like to work with people who are like me in wanting to learn and also with people who have some good experience. Just post in the thread or PM me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VAIF3:
the goal

Well I've got the hardware for compiling. I've got a quad-core and a dual-core both setup to build. (I had it on the dual-core first then got a new computer). I did a build (not sure if it came out right or not... still learning XD) the other day, starting it at night, and it was done in the morning.

What I would like to do is pickup where Peter Alfonso (Bugless Beast) is leaving it. He's recently gotten busy and Android is no longer a priority for him. I would use his source from git-hub and give him credit for it. I would love to add more features and settings and continue to improve it as new versions of android come out.

But like I said... I still need to learn. I'm still unsure how to get the compiled build onto my phone to try it. I plan on comparing the source code from Cyanogenmod, Bugless Beast, and others just to see what they've done.

So I bought a gnex a while ago, and the battery doesn't last very long.

Since I'm new in all of this I don't really know if it's normal and if it is what can I do to make it last longer?

My phone lasts about 10 hours with 3G and less than 2 hours of screen on..

It's the Google one which comes with 1750mAh standard battery. I thought of buying 2100 one but it seems very expensive unlike the bigger ones..

It costs around 35$ on ebay..

Also, can I use the Verizon or sprint batteries? From what I understand the official Samsung extended battery for Google nexus is 2000mAh? Why isn't it 2100 like Verizon?

So.. What should I do?

Thank you for your answer in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
My battery sucks as well I'm blaming the 4.2.1 update for making a bad battery even worse. Also the Verizon nexus is LTE enabled so its battery is even worse hence the bigger extended battery and even at stock the Verizon version has a bigger battery, the Verizon extended battery is not compatible with your Gsm nexus.
