[Nook Touch Android Development] NOOK!E:
Hello, nookies!

Welcome to the official development project page for my modded Settings.apk files, or AndroNook Settings.

As we all know, the stock Settings.apk on the Nook Simple Touch is rather primitive, to say the least. With these four unique modded variants, I aim to make the Nook's Settings.apk more Android-like by incorporating more regular Android options (hence, AndroNook). Using these mods, you will have much more convenient full control over your Nook's settings.

All four of these .apks will work on both the Nook Simple Touch and the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight using B&N's 1.2.1 software. Let's take a look at the changes, shall we?

Changes & Features

andronook-settings-thirteenthirtysevenrom-x.x.zip

This Settings.apk is made to be used alongside [mention=5326897]yattaro[/mention]'s and my 1337 ROM.

"Legal" is removed from [Settings > Device Info], because who needs that?

[Settings > Device Info > About Your NOOK®] is renamed to "About Your Nook".

In [Settings > Device Info > About Your Nook], the listings "Owner" = [your name], "Account" = [your email] and "Software version" = [your B&N software version] are replaced with "Android version" = "2.1 Eclair", "ROM name" = "1337 ROM", and "Developed by" = "yattaro & NOOKIE". The extra options which appear if you hold the top right hard button and tap the "About Your Nook" header are also removed.

"Change Lock PIN" is added to [Settings > Screen] for easy lockscreen PIN changing.

"Development" is added to the main Settings screen.

In [Settings > Development], the listings "Android launcher" and "Widget Test" are replaced with "Accounts and sync settings" (which only works if /system/app/DeviceManager.apk is deleted) and "Proxy settings".

[Settings > Development > Manage applications] is moved to the main Settings screen and renamed to "Applications".

"Battery use", a summary of the battery use since last unplugged, is added to the main Settings screen and renamed to "Battery".

andronook-settings-tweakedmoddedrom-x.x.zip

This Settings.apk is made to be used alongside [mention=4636254]pinguy1982[/mention]'s Tweaked Modded ROM. All changes are the same as above, except:

In [Settings > Device Info > About Your Nook], "ROM name" = "1337 ROM" and "Developed by" = "yattaro and NOOKIE" are replaced with "ROM name" = "Tweaked Modded ROM" and "Developed by" = "pinguy1982".

andronook-settings-stockromrooted-x.x.zip

This Settings.apk is made to be used when no ROM is installed and you've just rooted your Nook. All changes are the same as nook-settings-thirteenthirtysevenrom-x.x.zip, except:

In [Settings > Device Info > About Your Nook], "ROM name" = "1337 ROM" and "Developed by" = "yattaro and NOOKIE" are replaced with "ROM name" = "B&N OS 1.2.1" and "Developed by" = "Barnes and Noble".

andronook-settings-lockpin-unrooted.zip

This Settings.apk is meant to be used when your device has not been rooted or "illegally" modified in any way. It will simply allow you to use a lockscreen PIN on an unrooted device. Beware, though - you cannot remove the lock unless you are rooted.

"Choose Lock PIN" is added to [Settings > Screen] for easy lockscreen PIN changing.

Installation

If you're rooted

1. On your PC, download the .zip file in the second post which you'd like to use.

2. Install CWM recovery on your Nook by following the instructions at this thread.

3. Copy the Settings .zip you downloaded to the root (main folder) of your SD card.

4. Insert your SD card back into your Nook, and boot into CWM by rebooting and holding the two bottom hard buttons and the "Read Forever" screen.

5. Flash the .zip you put onto the root of the SD card.

6. Click "reboot system now"

If you're not rooted

1. On your PC, download the .zip file in the second post which you'd like to use.

2. Follow the instructions at this thread for booting into CWM from your SD card. However, after you write the .img file to your SD card, copy the Settings .zip file you downloaded onto the root (main folder) of the SD card. Then, continue with the instructions for booting into CWM.

3. Flash the .zip you put onto the root of the SD card.

4. Click "reboot to recovery".
