[Nook Touch General] Stupident:
I've never tried to root my Nook Simple Touch so far. Yesterday I updated my NST to Software Version 1.2.1 and found that it could no longer display some ebooks correctly, so I decided to downgrade it to v1.1.*, following the instructions from this link: ｈｔｔｐ://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-E-Ink-Support/NST-1-2-0-update-Why-no-page-numbers-in-Contents/m-p/1416722#M3643.

Shortly, what I did is:

Inserted a uSD card burned with "noogie.img" into my (unrooted) NST, and then connected it to the computer via USB;

In Linux, replaced the original "factory.zip" (v1.2.1) with the new one (v1.1.5, link: ｈｔｔｐ://web.mailpen.com/_download/bnFirmware/touch/factory-v1.1.5.zip);

Did a factory reset via the "8-reboot" technique.

After that, my NST could work properly. However, to my surprise, when I checked the Setting menu, I found there is a "*Development" item I've never seen before. It contains "Manage Applications", "Running services", "USB debugging", "Stay awake", "Auto Mount", "Android launcher" and "Widget Test" subitems. When I select "Android launcher" I see something similar to an Android home screen.

To my limited knowledge about Android, to root the device you should at least change the uRamdisk file. Could anyone explain to me what happened? Is my NST rooted?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yes, your Nook is rooted.

Your "factory.zip" did not come out of any B&N factory.

Update zips contain uImage and uRamdisk.
[Nook Touch General] Stupident:
Thanks for your reply, but I can't find any file named "uRamdisk" or "uImage" in factory.zip. Moreover, it's said that a rooted NST has battery drain problem because of the "cell standby" and "phone idle" processes. However my (possibly rooted) NST only consumes 1% power per day (wifi turned off). So I still can't figure it out.

P.S. The v1.1.5 factory.zip is the one shipped with NST w/ GlowLight, and I'm wondering is there a *Development menu in NSTG...
[Nook Touch General] DeanGibson:
Factory.zip

All the downloadable files on that site (www.mailpen.com and web.mailpen.com are my sites) came from:

1. Those that have the word "update" in them, came directly from the B&N site, and when used, should be applied as you normally would for an update.

2. Those that have the word "factory" in them, were directly extracted from partition #3 (the hidden factory restore partition) on the Nook Touch.

In all cases, there are no modifications from me.

What the prior poster did, should have worked. Note that a factory restore (the 8-reset method) does not clear the data partition.
[Nook Touch General] Stupident:
@DeanGibson

Thank you very much for sharing these files! I am OK with the strange '*Development' menu now, since my NST works pretty well so far.
[Nook Touch General] max hd:
i need to downgrade from 1.2.1 to 1.1.5

excuse me but how did you replace the factory.zip, because my NSTG came with 1.2.1 ver and i want to downgrade to 1.1.5 . can i replace it through partition wizard. i tried to flash the zip file of 1.1.5 from mailpen through cwm , but did not work, i need help
[Nook Touch General] Stupident:
iirc, simply replacing the factory.zip file is enough. All you need is an OS capable of reading NST's file system (if you use a Windows, a Ubuntu running in a VirtualBox is ok) and a "noogie.img" uSD card to boot your NST with. Find the original factory.zip and make a backup. Start nautilus as root (ｈｔｔｐ://askubuntu.com/questions/98489/how-can-i-elevate-nautilus-privileges-to-move-or-copy-a-folder-as-root) and replace factory.zip with the new (old actually) copy. Do an 8-rebooting.

You'd better back up your NST first (use Roadkil's Disk Image or whatever) , especially the directory containing files `SerialNumber`, `DeviceID` and `HashOfPrivateKey`. The device might be bricked.

(I did it months ago so some details given above may be incorrect. do it at ur own risk. )
[Nook Touch General] max hd:
thank you for your replay, i alredy backed up my NSTG on ver 1.2.1 and i downgraded to 1.1.5 replace the factory.zip by "gksudo nautilus" then make a back up also, but cant find this development section . another thing how to apply "8 reboot method". thank you
[Nook Touch General] Stupident:
Follow the method #2 on this page: ｈｔｔｐ://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock

A video on Youtube showing how to do a factory reset for Nook Color: ｈｔｔｐ://youtu.be/_atl79ZcB_I

It's similar for NST.
[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
where did you get the rooted factory.zip? i need one a rooted 1.2 factory.zip

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

how to i clear the data partition before doing a factory restore?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
CWM has a selection for formatting partitions.

You could just delete everything using ADB under CWM.

cd /data

I received my c6602 today in winnipeg. I am operating on bell using 850 1900 bands and have speed tests over 8 mbps.

for every one i think it is impossible to port this with only those three apks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Andrewasth:
Yes! There has been a port for jelly bean! Resolved the directionality error! I was using framework from a non xperia phone! Will try later today and will see if it works!

Noel Macwan has recently have some chat regarding to some ports and mods to Rizal Lovins ..

He (Noel Macwan) asked to port this Xperia Z Camera to ICS

He (Noel Macwan) Asked to mod a Xperia Z themes with lock screen wallpaper changes as per the theme ..

By The way all of this ... Noel Macwan was working hard and he really developed many things ..and he also told me the list that he is going to be developed

hmm ... It's totally unfair with Noel Macwan .. We have loosed a great developer Noel Macwan

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mtakween:
again this will not work with those three apks

this needs more files from lib and framework etc

and WE cant do a port for it we need someone like DooMLord etc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Andrewasth:
Actually the libs can't be ported! It is just code! If you can decode it then you will lose signature!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mtakween:
i did noy wrote about porting libs i told that it needs more files to work especially framework files

This Guide Will Disable Hardware Keys (Home, Menu, Back, Search) Light and make it disabled completely so we can use the on screen button like nexus phone in AOSP based ROM (AOKP/PACMAN/Codefirex)

NOTE: Don't Try This in CM Based Rom because CM don't have any on-screen button mod

For Disable The Hardware Keys Light :

Add The Following code to /system/etc/init.d/90userinit

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
chmod 755 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness

and reboot

For Disable The Hardware Keys Function Completely

Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl (maybe it's touchscreen dependent mine is synaptic,i can't try for other)

For atmel is atmel-touchscreen.kl, for elan is elan-touchscreen.kl

Open it as text editor and delete all content of it and save and reboot

To Restore the Hardware Keys Light and Function

Just Copy and Paste the Backup File to the destination (/system/etc/init.d, /system/usr/keylayout)

NOTE: Don't Forget to Backup The ROM,default 90userinit, default touchscreen layout .kl before trying...
[Desire HD General] Magpie42:
Hi hdorius,

maybe it's just typos, but, it will not work the way you describe it.

You have to remove ">" from the chmod command line and change 755 to 644.

BTW: for CM based ROMs, there is a tweak, too (using the file "brightness" etc.),

but it's more easy to just use the app "Keyboard Backlight Controller" from the market.

Cheers, Magpie
[Desire HD General] aljazirrr:
In Viper DHD you have this on Viper tweaks cheers:p:p:p
[Desire HD General] hdorius:
Yuhuuu...is viperdhd an AOSP ROM?;)
[Desire HD General] hdorius:
I've tested myself and worked before I posted it and yes the cm have that tweaks,but I doesn't work for me when I set,btw thx
[Desire HD General] Magpie42:
So you have no clue at all what theses commands do?!

Sorry, but if you don't know what things do, you should not recommend them.

Your `chmod 755 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness` will

not

change the mode of the file as needed,

but overwrite the 0, you previously wrote into "max_brightness", making the first command completely superfluous.

It ends up in a completely empty "max_brightness" file - if we think positive, assuming best case.

In worst case, STDERR has previously been redirected to STDOUT and your command will even result in a "max_brightness" file containing this:

chmod 755
Usage: chmod [OPTION] <MODE> <FILE>
-R, --recursive change files and directories recursively
--help display this help and exit

The effect of this - or empty - content is in fact unpredictable and only depends on the robustness of the routine, which evaluates the content of "max_brightness".

In your case, you may have been on the lucky side, cause the routine in your ROM seems to return a 0 in case of failure,

setting the value for brightness to 0 - so your "testing success" is nothing less than just sheer coincidence.

A less robust implementation may just crash, leaving your phone unbootable, in a boot loop or s/th even worse.

Cheers, Magpie

I know people have lost their BE 2 after unlocking the bootloader.... So, I want you all to know about an app called Pimp My Rom ( by Androguide.fr) which has a lot of MOD's in it including the Bravia Engine 2 and I believe (not tried it yet) it can help in getting the BE 2 back. Just wanted to share this discovery!!!

Could you give a basis as to why it will kill the phone?? Like I said I don't know if it works as I haven't unlocked my phone yet... But if you can get me a good basis then I would delete the thread!!

ALSO, many users of Xperia S, SL and U reported it working... Read the thread if you dont blv me
[Xperia Z General] Efe64:
Dont talk bs if u dont know sh*t.

It is impossible to brick your phone with applications.

Pimp my rom is an open apk for all phones.

It enables it on cm9 10 etc.

If it will work on our phone? Thats the question.

I think it need tweaks because our phone is just released.

As i see the App puts some Tweaks to the build.prop , chose the wrong Tweak and you're end up in a boot loop. Other then that you won't break the phone.

Tried both PMR and Android Tweaker on KA03 XZ Revolution.
[Xperia Z General] egzthunder1:
Why WAS this in development? :p

In any case, @OP.... the reason for the BE to stop working, unless I am sorely mistaken, is because your DRM keys get completely wiped out when the BL is unlocked. As such, simple build.prop tweaks (which is all that PMR does) likely will not re-enable it.
[Xperia Z General] shivindera:
Ohh thanks did not know that...
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
It is not the Bravia 2 engine, it is an application that is simulating the effects of Bravia 2 engine, therefore most likely only increasing sharpness and saturation.

Echo what is previously stated here, an application will not brick your phone

if you look at dark scene in movies (youtube) it completely eliminate all detail.

[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
it doesnt show up on wallpaper only in album and video...
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Since most of you talking here have obviously unlocked the boot loader and rooted your phones.

Why don't you just install the Whitebalance app and set your saturation up higher, then you have more saturation across all aspects of the phone
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
It doesnt work like that...it only enhance saturation of a certain color.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
In album open a pic with BE 2 on..then take a screenshot and use it as wallpaper..watch colors come to life on homescreen!

Thanks for that I have been wanting to use the pics that come standard as wallpaper but couldnt.

thats exactly what i said..i just use it for that as its easier and less time consuming..i am not saying thats the use..Movie colors do come to life during playback though! i wish they implemented it in games too.

Thats not entirely true, it increases the saturation of the entire gamut, but you can select the hues that it increases more
