exactly, that was quick, do you remember that command line by heart ... cool ...

No hurry, whenever you guys have time ...

a few quickie's ...

1. how to take a screenshot on our NSTG ? any non-app key combination ?

2. is there any way to get rid of the Low on space notification ?

3. Is there any way i can bring up the recent app list to multitask ? i am not sure if this was even a possibility with android 2.1 then.

4. How practical is it to port ROMs from e-ink ereaders like the Boyue T61/T62, OnyxBoox T68, Energy Ereader Pro, etc which come pre-loaded with open android. Infact in a few videos our NoRefresh mode is standard feature on one of these devices. We were the ones to have it first ... thanks to marspeople. :D

No Hurry ... as and when you guys can afford to answer,

Cheers.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
I do, and I know a whole lot more commands by heart than that... :)

The only stock way to take a screenshot is using the "screenshot" command line applet, which comes built into the Nook. Here's hoe to use it:

screenshot [file path]

For example, if you want your screenshot to be named "blah.png" and you want it to be placed in /sdcard/screenshots, you would use this:

screenshot /sdcard/screenshots/blah.png

Now that's all fine and dandy, but that method's output files come out all weird, with a bluish tint and strange colors. So, nobody uses it. I've found that the app Screenshot Ultimate is by far the best screenshot app out there compatible with 2.1, complete with tons of neat features and such. Check it out for free on the Play store.

Never seen that before, so I don't know how to get rid of it. Any details?

Not without an external app, no.

Nobody's ever tried it here on XDA, we mainly just create new ROMs (I've made one, see my signature for "1337 ROM"), but it might be possible. It probably won't be very practical, though.
[Nook Touch Android Development] aiamuzz:
Yeah ? ... Waaaaay coooler than i thought ...

too cumbersome, but thanks, a handy thing to know ...

Actually i have installed apps to the brim i guess, hence the nagging notification which never dies down (cant be cleared)

1337 ROM for our NSTG ???????

really ???????

off to checking your signature then ...
[Nook Touch Android Development] aiamuzz:
Hello [MENTION=5981373]ИΘΘK¡€[/MENTION]

thanks for the tour yesterday, i just witnessed an underverse ... i never thought possible for our NST/NSTG.

You know come to think of it ... my first bike was the last of its kind ... phased out ... yet very dear to me ...

My first serious Android Phone ... again the last of its kind (Motorola Droid Pro XT610 - favoured because thats the last of its breed, a qwerty physical keyboard BB style ... though motorola pro+ came after this, but it only brought more value with its 4GB internal Memory compared to my 1GB ... rest of the specs same.)

My first tablet(ereader) - my darling NSTG ... favoured bcos of it power of being hackable ... again the last of its kind as nook sealed their ROMS.

So you must have figured out by now ... how tough it gets, when you own these greats !!!

You don't get parts(for my bike), you no longer have ROMS built for them(for my phone) and being stuck with a Android 2.1(on my darling) ... A feeling we all identify with ... the last one.

so now you understand all the excitement from yesterday ... being introuduced to this NST/NSTG underverse ...

We all are ИΘΘK¡€ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss :D ................... Hope the NST/NSTG underverse prevails and thrives ......... Stars like you keep it all lighted up ... BRIGHT !!!.

a thought lingering on my mind for long ...

I was wondering if the stock library app can be tweaked for better proportions ?

I mean i am a designer and proportions are everything when it comes to anything attractive. and the library UI is anything but that(it is awful) ... so is it possible to reduce the list view (row height), or the book view thumbnails to fill up the screen more than 6 books a page(6 books a row, and 4-5 rows wud be fantastic), font size reduced match everything else ... you know what i am saying ...

whats ur take ? like i say no hurry ...
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Hey, [MENTION=4399146]aiamuzz[/MENTION],

I know plenty of tweaks are possible with the B&N Library app (/system/app/Library.apk), but, truth be told, I don't mess around with it anymore, because I use Renate's Temblast Library app, which takes up much less space and battery life. You can get it here.

However, the possibilities are endless. You can start by ADB pulling the Library .apk file to your PC, decompiling it with an archiver, and then start looking around for... well, whatever you want to look for. ;)
[Nook Touch Android Development] pinguy1982:
There is a bit more then just that changed to improve the text rendering.

I have attached a CWM zip that you can flash that will edit your build.prop with the changes I have made to this ROM.
[Nook Touch Android Development] David0226:
Thanks for your great work on this ....

I know it would be a lot of work, but is there any chance you could document what each of these tweaks does? I am an IT guy who likes to do things himself, so after using many of the custom ROMs available for the Nook ST/G I am currently running on my own custom configuration after starting with Renate NST's minimal rooting instructions. I might like to use some, but likely not all of your changes so it would be great to know what each does.

Thanks again,

David0226

PS: I opened the zip file and found the script the modifies build.prop, so I can see the additions you are making. I just can't figure out what all of them do.

PPS: I did some research on my own and added the following to my build.prop ...

hw3d.force=1 -> Render UI with GPU

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 -> Disable the boot animation.
[Nook Touch Android Development] nivieru:
seems like alot of that stuff isn't relevant for the nook, things to do with 3g, video quality, video acceleration, camera, gps.

perhaps all the ro.ril and ro.media stuff and some more, but I'm not really sure what everything does
[Nook Touch Android Development] David0226:
The following lines, entered at the end of my build.prop do seem to improve text quality (at least for 53 year old eyes).

hw3d.force=1

persist.sys.use_dithering=2

debug.overlayui.enable=1

persist.sys.ui.hw=1

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

I used to use and enjoyed this ROM. After a time I began to have touch issues that went away when I removed the ROM. After this discussion and some independent research, I think the offending line(s) is one of the following:

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

So, if you are using this excellent ROM and begin have touch issues, you may want to comment out one or both of these lines from /system/build.prop to see if that fixes your issue. This is apparently not an issue of all Nooks as there are many happy users of this ROM who have no issues. However, it may be an issue for some and perhaps this change may fix it for those few.
[Nook Touch Android Development] pinguy1982:
New uploads on the first post.

Fixed the bug where touch stops working.

Changed the way zipalign and defragdb works so the device will boot faster.

OptiPNG and zipped all the apks. This has drastically reduced the amount of RAM used.
[Nook Touch Android Development] pinguy1982:
My bad. Because the ROM was using Google DNS, you would of got registration errors.

This is all fixed now and the update is uploaded.

[Nook Touch Android Development] pinguy1982:
Updated first post.

ROM is fully updated. This is it. This is the last release.

Removed the Playstore because its pointless. It barely works and uses to much resources. At the end of the day the NST is an Ereader, not a tablet.
[Nook Touch Android Development] aiamuzz:
Thanks pinguy1982, the community is ever indebted to efforts of people like yourself.

though you officiated the end of future releases, i am sure you'll certainly be around to guide people should anybody lose their way.

And a bigger thanks for delving deeper into kfazz's CM11 ROM and lending your expertise to develop and refine it.

Looking forward to its outcome.
[Nook Touch Android Development] pinguy1982:
I have released an update. This fixes the touch issue.

[Nook Touch Android Development] pinguy1982:
Updated the original post.

There is now a load of CWM zip packages that enable all sorts of features. This way you can add the features you want and nothing you don't. You can keep the ROM close to stock or add as may features as you like..

Here is a video of my personal setup:

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=VmJEUXFyqOQ[/YOUTUBE]

What I enabled:

nook_1_2_update.zip - This is just an optimized version of the default UK ROM with init.d+Busybox.

EpubBrowser+Apps.zip - This will replace the Home with EpubBrowser and includes Cleanmaster, Calculator, Clearscreen, Email, ES File, ScreenRotator & Opera.

USB-Audio+FastMode+Host.zip - Also enables ROOT/SU - Install this after logging into your B&N account. If you install it before you won't be able to register with B&N.

I flashed the epubbrowser but it just keeps restarting at the first page of my library. I suspect that it's because it doesn't like the cover of one of my epub files. There was a cwm flashable home.zip a few pages back but the link is dead. Can anyone re-up it?

does this still work now - seem old version tho?

Will it root my device or is it 'only' a rom for rooted devices?

Thank you!!
[Nook Touch Android Development] ALinkToTao:
[MENTION=9148929]DanChr79[/MENTION] Sorry for the late reply. This ROM still works. I use it. It's great. It does make the text more readable. It's the best one I've found. 1337 was buggy for me, so I got rid of it.

And, yes, it will root your device if you have an SD card with clockworkmod installed on it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] perky55:
It looks like the download links in the OP are down now. Is anyone able to mirror them as I'd like to give this Mod a try having recently stuck a new battery in my old NST?
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
You might want to read the first comment at the end of this post: https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2...-rom-for-nook-touch-and-nook-touch-glowlight/

AFAIK, the "guts" of this ROM were swept up into the 1337 ROM, which I think is still available but also is reported to have its issues. And the developers are long gone.
[Nook Touch Android Development] mth411:
The 1337 Rom largely copied this ROM, then added Google Play Store and Amazon store and others (and some other user tweaks). Those (Play Store, Amazon) are all old version that no longer work.

This rom was created by Pinguy1982, who is still around via PM and others. It seems that Google changed google drive settings, so that some of the smaller files are still shared, but the larger ones aren't shareable.

XDA devnet hosts android builds, but only for android 2.3 and greater (the 1337 Rom had put the 2.3 version to enable devnet hosting, even though it was a 2.1 rom).
[Nook Touch Android Development] aiamuzz:
[MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION] ... would you by any chance have the capacity to recook the 1337 ROM with the latest B&N 's firmware update 1.2.2 ?

would really prolong the life of our little devices ...

anybody else who can recook 1337 with the latest 1.2.2 firmware ... appreciate the same !

[Nook Touch Android Development] aiamuzz:
Hi,
[MENTION=3269843]mth411[/MENTION] ...

Is this the ROM for firmware 1.2.1 or the latest B&N updated firmware 1.2.2 release recently ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mth411:
This Rom is based on 1.2.1, the only update in 1.2.2 is the nook app itself ( to allow store purchases over tls 1.2 ?). This doesn't update the android software to tls 1.2 though, just the nook app.

On installing the Rom, it will flash till you lock-unlock the display, but its pretty amazing with the no-refresh hack.

The old kindle 3.0.x app no longer works with amazon ( I can't download books, but I can login using the legacy password they email you after attempting to login). It also requires the updated cacert file from another thread here.
[Nook Touch Android Development] aiamuzz:
Oh ... [MENTION=3269843]mth411[/MENTION] ... can you list out all those nook apps that have been updated ?

I was wondering if we could extract those updated nook apps and install it back on our custom ROM's based on firmware 1.2.1 will it work ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] velayo:
I know this is an old thread but I had to flash my nstg and now this issue propped up. Any ideas how to fix? Without signing into B&N the nook drains too much battery. Thank you.

[Nook Touch Android Development] zelea2:
I've just installed this ROM + ReLaunch + Apps and everything works fine except the USB. If I plug a cable in it just charges regardless of what I have in Settings/Development/USB debugging or USB automount. The USB now is used just for charging and it doesn't enumerate at all. My previous firmware (rooted stock 1.2 UK) was working fine with both adb and USB mount.

It this a known issue or do I have to enable/disable something else? Is the new USB host mode interfering with this?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
If you already had my UsbMode.apk installed you can see whether it's in host mode or what.

If you have a terminal app installed you can "cat /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode".
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
There should not be any interference from USBHost. I know that in the original hidden Developer's Settings the automount did not work. Don't know if he fixed that, but if anything it should be stuck in automount, not charge.

If you have ADB working you can try:

adb
su
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 1

Or, you can probably do just from Terminal:

su
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 1

That should jog it back to automount mode.

Here is my mini review and first impressions. Looks much nicer in person. Feels much nicer than I expected. The installation was easier than I had expected. I'll be honest I did not read any instructions or watch any videos. I think I did a good job but perhaps the color combo and my bad lighting just work well together. Thinking the sides would be the easiest I started with them. Surprisingly the front lined up perfectly on the first try and so did the back. The sides took a few tries to line up all the holes. I always turn the capacative button lights off when I install a new ROM so I left those in place. Last but not least my case even still fits on OK. I did the install leaving my screen protector on underneath and everything looks and feels really nice.

Thanks Weston and slickwraps I appreciate you giving me a chance to try this skin out.
