I rooted with NookManager, copied the NTGAppsAttack to the root of the card, installed it, registered (in time i think, no messages) BUT... after registering i ended at tradicional NST menu, now and then i see the M of gmail at the top left and click to see a new email, but that´s all i can make, how i can access google play and other apks? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cowbutt:
Presumably you've set the standard NST home as the default. Don't do that.

To fix it now, you'll need to install a new launcher (e.g. from a browser logged into play.google.com as the account you've configured on your Nook) so that when you press the 'n' key and select 'Home', it offers you a choice of Home, ReLaunch and whatever new launcher you installed.

Either leave the default for Home unset, or set it to ReLaunch and install NookHome.

Where i´ll find a browser in my nook to access googleplay? I tried "search" but did not work.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cowbutt:
On another device (e.g. PC, Mac, phone). There's nothing you can do from the Nook now you've set the default launcher.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brunobbarcelos:
Cowbutt, as i did not registered into googleplay, just my gmail account, when i open googleplay using my pc it just show my other devices. There´s another way?

Just tried wiping and re-rooting for the second time in a row and ran into the same error both times: when putting in my google login details after installing, I get an error message saying that the device can't establish a reliable connection to google servers. A quick search yielded this thread on the android general forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2110225

I'm going to poke around before trying these methods, but will report back if I end up using one.If anyone else has a better idea of what to do, LMK. Thanks!

No dice. I can connect my account by "adding" it in Gmail, but I get the server error has occurred message when I try to open up the Market, and it's not because the update installed. I tried uninstalling that update and there found there was no update to uninstall. Anybody have any ideas? Not too thrilled about the idea of wiping and trying to install GAppsAttack from scratch a third time...

Realized this might be important-- while the first time I tried this I was on firmware 1.2.1, I reverted to 1.1.2 this time so as to use NoRefresh without bugs. I know this package was designed with 1.2 in mind. Anyone have it working with an earlier firmware version?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
Don't bother. That looks like a custom ROM that added a static IP to the /etc/hosts file (a very bad idea). It doesn't exist on most devices including the NST.

Restore to pre-GAPPS and give it a break for a couple of days and try again. Unfortunately, the server errors seem to randomly affect a small number of people but they do seem to usually go away.

NookManager & NTGAppsAttack are 1.2.0 & 1.2.1 only. They mod system files that may or may not be backwards compatible (read probably not). There are other rooting & GApps tools for 1.1.2. Search through the dev forum to find the appropriate tool (TouchNooter I think).

Google books are epub. If you use a computer, you can download them and transfer them to your device (you may need adobe digital editions and then read them on any app that supports protected epub like the stock app, aldiko, or mantano.

Does anyone has a list of

- apps that can be removed with no loss in functionality (example: camera/music apps)

- apps that can be removed with limited consequences (example: B&N default library has better alternatives)

To disable an app, it's best to simply rename it using a different file name extension -- e.g., from "abc.apk" to "abc.apk.bak" -- for ease in later restoral if need be.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] t_0_0_l:
I'm going nuts here. I have restored it to backup, restored it to factory, used different accounts, created a separate account, tried it on different networks, and multiple combinations of all the above and I still cannot get past "server error" in the market. I have done this over the past 3 days and I am at wits end. In all cases except creating an account I had to disable "restore settings" in order to proceed further with device registration. I have also tried skipping this process and adding an account through gmail. No luck there either. Is there anything else I can do?

EDIT: Also tried skipping registration and tried the youtube/gmail thing but that didn't accomplish anything.

Unistalling Market Update

I rooted my NST today. Initially I had no problem downloading the search market. But later on when I was trying to download apps, it was no longer working. Finally uninstalling the market update resolved the issue. I will update if there is any change in the status in the next couple of days

Installing the NTGAppsAttack package after rooting...

Great forum and tips. I have an issue that I could use another set of eyeballs on.

I got a NST with Glowlight for Christmas. Downloaded NookManager, used Win32DiskImage on my computer to burn the NookManager image to microSD card. Insert the card into the NST, booted up NookManager, went through the steps of making a backup and successfully rooted the nook.

I've downloaded the NTGAppsAttack file to my computer but my question is how do I get it installed in the Nook when the microSD card I used is already formatted? When I put the microSD card in the computer, it says I need to reformat it. However, I don't want to because my NST backup along with the NookManager image is on there.

Is there another way I can get the NTGAppsAttack installed without having to wipe my microSD card that has NookManager and my Nook backup? Any assistance would be great.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
Not sure why you computer doesn't like your sd card. It should work. In any event, boot your Nook with Nookmanager and plug it into your PC. You should have two drives appear - NookManager & NookManger Backup. Copy your backup off the card for safe keeping and install NTGAppsAttack onto the NookManager drive. Then reboot your nook and install GApps.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mrgeorgia:
My issue solved.

Thanks. What I ended up doing (before I read your post) was to restore the NST back to factory. I took NookManager Image and added the NTGAppsAttack inside of the NookManager Image. I then saved it and copied the updated image to the SD card which I reformatted. I then repeated the process by using NookManager to create a backup, root the NST..finally installed the NTGApps.

Upon reboot, I was greeted with the Gmail/Android login as normal. Thanks for the support.

Hi straygecko

How to remove all these google apps installed:confused:

thank you
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
Its best to restore to your backup from before installing NTGAppsAttack. It would be a manual untested process via ADB otherwise and even then there would be some things left behind that get added when you run GApps.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] wozhere:
uninstalling Some gapps even like talk etc will break other apps, backup before or need to factory reset + android install again. Total Commander takes care of mount/remount for system/apps & data/apps manipulation, also allows chmode 644 in rw properties of files

Custom option not appearing

Hi! I have followed this thread's instructions, but the "custom" option doesn't appear. Here's where I get stuck:

"OK, I'm ready to Install

Make sure your NookManager and NTGAppsAttack versions match (see above). CHECK

Make sure your have rooted your Nook with NookManager and all is working correctly. CHECK

Deauthorize any readers you have installed and authorized with your Adobe ID. NOT APPLICABLE.

Unzip the NTGAppsAttack zip file into the the root of your NookManager microSD card. CHECK

Power off your Nook. CHECK

Insert NookManager microSD card into your Nook. CHECK

Power on your Nook and let NookManager load. CHECK

From the main NookManager screen select More, then Custom, then Install NTGappsAttack." NO SUCH OPTION.

I even restored from my backup and erased the Micro SD card to start over from scratch, but it still didn't work. It creates a "custom2" folder, so I tried moving everything from that folder into the appropriate folders, but that still doesn't work. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

I have the same problem and just found your post. So instead of unzipping the file in the Nook Manager, we unzip it in the custom folder of the Nook Manager? Am I understanding you correctly?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ursulavasey:
Yes that's right mlb107. Unzip the file in the custom folder of the Nook Manager and follow the remaining instructions from there. I was stuck on that problem for ages, but once I unzipped the file in the custom folder, it all went smoothly from there.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
This is not correct. The zip file contains a single folder custom. It needs to be extracted to the root of the NookManager sd card so that the files and folders in the custom folder of the zip file merge into the custom folder of the sd card. Apparently you were not unzipping the file as is and only extracting what was contained within the custom folder.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
Sounds like your unzipping program isn't merging the custom folders like it should. The existing custom folder on the NookManager isn't needed so try renaming it to custom.save and then extract the zip to the root of your sd card.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mlb107:
Thanks, I'll try again when I get home and update my post.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mlb107:
Thanks, that did the trick. I was able to install the market, and it appears to be updated.

My "phone" is showing now, but when I try and download apps, I get an error message: "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later." Does that just mean it's not completely done updating?

Disregard - Just got the "Success!" message when I clicked on install. Thanks again for all your work and help with clarification!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Filbo47:
Identify NST differently than "phone"?

I have multiple NSTG units that I intend to attach to one Google account.

I anticipate trouble due to each one calling itself simply "phone".

Will it be sufficient to attach a nickname to each device via play.google.com/settings ?

why remove GoogleSearch and Provision.apk ?

Hi,

Decomposing NTGAppsAttack, I am curious why it removes /nook/system/app/GoogleSearch.apk and /nook/system/app/Provision.apk

I checked the contents of my pre-NookManager backup: it contains GoogleSearch.apk, but not Provision.apk. So I am dually curious: why remove GoogleSearch; and why remove Provision if it doesn't exist in the first place?

Thanks,

>Bela<

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Thanks, Sanukk! That answers my question: you've done it and the Play Store doesn't get confused.

It was a pre-action question. I couldn't "just rename them as I go" because I hadn't done any of them yet and was afraid the 2nd one would blow up. Now I can proceed.

>Bela<
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
Good question. Its been so long I can't remember. Looking at some of what I was doing when I put this together I was testing some stuff from CyanogenMod and probably managed to end up with a Provision.apk on my NST. Provision.apk is used for phone setup so I deleted it. In short, developer error, no need to delete it because it isn't there in the first place. As for GoogleSearch.apk I'm not finding any clues I left behind. Perhaps I saw some errors in the logcat associated with it or maybe it didn't work or maybe its just another developer error.

And yes you can end up with multiple Phone on Google Play without any issues. As already mentioned rename as you go to keep them straight.

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
This has been answered a couple of times here with an explanation of how your SD card should look for NTGAppsAttack to work. Do a little reading through the thread and you'll find the answer. If you unzip directly into the root of the SD card as called for in the instructions you shouldn't have any trouble. It seems when people decide to unzip on their PC and then copy to the SD they run into trouble by copying the custom folder inside the custom folder instead of merging the contents or some other error when copying.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] garybo:
initial GApps problem

I'm way back on the install procedure. I'm rooted. I unzipped the NTGAppsAttack 0.5.0 (same manager version) onto the NookManager root, I think. Manager, however, doesn't recognize the necessary folder, ie, there's nothing in the "Custom" buttton choice.

On the file system of NookManager I have these folders:

custom (which has files, menu, scripts, non related to AppsAttack)

files

hooks

LOST.DIR

menu

My Files

NTGAppsAttack-0.5.0>custom>files (NTGAppsAttack> 1.2 and gapps> menu, scripts- the relevant stuff

scripts.

Did I unzip in the wrong place?

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] straygecko:
Yep. You unzipped to /NTGappsAttack-0.5.0 not to /. The custom folder under your NTGappsAttack-0.5.0 folder is supposed to merge into the custom folder that was already on your SD card from the NookManager install. copy /NTGappsAttack-0.5.0/custom /custom and it should start working.

thanks, I renamed the original custom folder custom2 and moved the AppAtack custom folder out onto root. Same idea, Worked.

Disabling B&N Apps after NTGAppsAttack install breaks the market. Here's a fix!

Did disable the B&N Apps after NTGAppsAttack install and it broke the market app.

Fixed it by uninstalling the Market app by long pressing it in the app drawer (don't know exactly how it worked cause it's a system app, right?), the tried searching something / anything with Search Market and accepted the licence agreement of the Marked that was presented to me. All this with the B&N Apps still disabled.

Then rebooted with the NookManager SDcard, enabled B&N Apps, rebooted again and DONE. Market works again. :victory::victory::victory:

Hope it helps.
