ИΘΘK¡€ can you add some screenshots to show what yours device looks like ? Why (unreleased) version of 's modified things ? What are yours changes ?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] :
For homescreen setup screenshots, you can look at the NTG Homescreens 2 and NTG Homesceens 3 albums in my profile. I won't upload screenshots of my homescreen because I am a homescreen themer and change my setup about every other day. I can, however, add screenshots of other parts of my device, if you like.

The reason my uRamdisk is unreleased is that it is not stable enough or safe enough for widespread use. The main change that causes this is my seting it up to mount the /boot partition as read-write upon the device booting up. This is extremely dangerous for any average, non-developer user to have, because if even one file in that partition gets modified incorrectly or deleted, their Nook will become permanently unusable for anything except a paperweight.

Hopefully this explains things for you.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] DKaine:
How do you guys have so much space to add apps to your NST? I've got the original NST and I keep getting warnings that the Nook is running out of space... Unless the NSTGL has a larger system ROM space than the NST? NOOK!E, I am currently using the 1337 ROM, and everything else seems to be working pretty great.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Um...I dunno? I have the original NST, too, with an 8 GB SD card (6 GB is still free). 90% of the internal storage is still free. I only have a few B&N books on internal storage, the bulk (many) are on the SD card along with music and audiobooks.

I have don't have any apps moved to the SD card.

So how come you're running out of memory? I get occasional nags from CleanMaster that RAM is scarce when I'm doing a lot of work, switching apps, etc., but I've never received any warnings about running out of storage space.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] kazikas:
You can move some apps to /system/app to free up space on data partition
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] DKaine:
Interesting... I get the alerts like in screenshots below, including when I try to install apps from sdcard or market... How would I move stuff to /system/app from wherever it is? ES File Explorer seems to be finicky, at best, and I can't change the view to show full file names in list form.

Thanks,

Move apps from /data/app to system/app

And don't forget to set permissions to 644
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Maybe, but I think the bigger question is "why is this happening in the first place?" Did you ever do any repartitioning? I'm running stock 1.21 and have never fiddled with anything like that. I've never moved apps to my SD card and have never actually even removed any stock apps, just disabled them by changing the extension to .OLD. I just let apps install wherever they have a mind to. The only thing I have avoided, as a matter of course, is storing media on the internal memory (except for the few B&N books). All my own stuff goes on the SD card.

So what's taking up so much space on your NST? Something's not right.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] DKaine:
Hi, sorry for the delay in response... Work kind of got in the way...

I have never done any re-partitioning, and I've got a 16gb sdcard. This is the first time I'm trying to move apps around, and I don't have many B&N books on the internal memory. I've only had the basic apps that install when first installing the ROM (UCbrowser, abridged list of Google Apps, SuperSU, ES File Explorer, etc.)... I started getting the alerts mentioned before just randomly that the Nook storage space was getting close to full. I only started getting the new errors when trying to install apps from the GoogleMarket or side-loaded sources. I only started trying to get rid of stuff/clear space once I started getting these messages/errors.

I've followed all the steps in the first post here Nookie's 1337 ROM to update from an earlier version of that ROM.

Thanks for following up.

DKaine
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Yep, and either yattaro or NOOKIE would be your best bet for help with that ROM and the issues you are seeing. I didn't notice any similar responses within that original thread. You might try a PM to NOOKIE. I know he's busy with school right now, but he'll get back to you.

Do you think that antivirus apps are 100% useless on NST (and android devices in general)?

edit: News Republic fails to connect, says: "not trusted certificate server", any clue? (or other similar application working?)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
I think that the system is too limited to get into many dodgy situations in which you might need antivirus protection :)

Seriously, even if you could find an app that would work on 2.1, the chances of the database being current is very small. It would also probably slow the system down even more.

I am bummed about News Republic :( It was working fine the last time I checked it. The security certificate issue is new and I guess it's one that is not covered by the updated cacerts file used to resurrect the Kindle app and others. I'll try to take a look at the logcat and see if it identifies the certificate name.

In the meanwhile, the NewsHog app still works (just checked to be sure) except for the weather (which may be part of the paid version). It's a little cranky syncing so you may have to touch the sync symbol as you move from news category to category. Also, scrolling is an issue (as it is with nearly all of these apps except for News Republic!!!!!). A very quick flick with your thumb across the bottom right corner of the screen usually works best, but it is a skill. Also helps to keep the screen gutters clean.

Edit: I managed to scrape up older versions of News Republic that spanned 3.0 to 4.2. None of the 4.x would install so they are for higher Android versions. The final 3.x series (3.30) installed and opened OK but exhibited the same issue. A glance at the logcat revealed multiple server contact problems during the initial opening of the app. So it's not just one certificate, regardless of what the screen notification says. Looks like a recent change left the older versions in the dust. RIP.

Also, although it's not quite as streamlined as an app, you can bookmark news.Google.com in your browser--I use Opera Mobile--and if you take the time to customize your view when using a PC (and signed in) you can achieve a similar effect if signed in on your NST browser. No scrolling issues either.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] dpikros:
Thanks for the info, unfortunately News Republic as you said continues to have issues. NewsHog isn't bad unless you live in Greece - there is no locale for my country :( Finally, bookmarking news.google.com/gr (or whatever) is a good idea, but manage the whole thing from desktop doesn't work as opera NST version is too old to sync with current desktop browser. I also use WordNews, seems reliable and has a lot of sources working.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Q

It's not necessary to sync browsers. All you have to do is sign in with the same Google account you use on the NST and set up your news preferences. If you sign in with Opera on the NST then the same news preferences will be displayed. I finally put an Opera shortcut to Google News on my NST home screen and used the Google news app icon: -)

Thanks for the WorldNews tip. I'll check it out.

GenieWidget does not seem to work...when I try to add a location it tells me that it has no internet access, which is weird since everything else works with wifi on my rooted NST glowlight...?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
GenieWidget has been dead for quite awhile. Even if you could set a location, the weather part was the first to die and then eventually you could not bring up the news either.

If you're interested in weather, WeatherAce is pretty nice, especially if you have a Wunderground API key (free). The only news apps I have that still work are BBC, NPR and NewsHog. All suffer to varying degrees with cranky vertical scrolling, but you can manage with some practice and very clean screen edges. Another alternative is to customize Google News (news.google.com) on your PC logged in to the same account that your NSTG is registered under. If you then sign in on the browser you use for your NSTG, you will get those same customizations. I did that and set a shortcut on my home screen, "borrowing" the current GoogleNews app icon. At least with that one (in Opera Mobile) there are no scrolling issues.

Working versions of the apps I mentioned above can be found in the zip package linked from my signature.

Exchange calendar sync issue

Hello,

i have installed the CalendarStorage.apk and the Email.apk - i think it's the original mail-app for Android 2.1

I notice you've mentioned that you updated to 1.2.2

I've spent the last half a day trying to get mine to update with no joy.

Mine is running 1.2.1. I would like to be able to access the web (I think that's going to be the best way for me to make it work the way I need it to. )

I've manually downloaded the .zip (nook_1_2_update.zip) as directed by the NOOK technical support.

I've copied it to the "NOOK" folder (I don't have the MyNOOK that they say I should, so I've just gone for the nearest thing. Probably why it isn't working)

Once the file has copied, I Eject the NOOK.

It says it should detect the update file straight away and start updating.

It lies.

Tech chat said "it's an old device that's not been switched on for 5 years. Leave it for 24 hours and see if it updates."

Is there something that I'm missing?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Is your device rooted? The update will not install on altered devices.

Mmm....also, if you have a non-US firmware device, I do not believe the update will work. It may be necessary to flash US firmware first.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] v619284:
Did you ever get WorldNews up and running? Any idea where it can be downloaded from?

I can't seem to find it online. Heck, I'm not even sure if it's still working in 2019. NewsHog and NPR are working for me, though.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
I have not had any luck in locating an old version of World News, so it's a guess where the poster got it--or whether it still works.

NewsHog plugs along although you can't create your own categories any longer and the NPR app is great even though the audio refuses to work (always meant to look into that...)

You can try my Google News and BBC News apps if you're looking for more.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] v619284:
Great, thanks for confirming.

Also, thanks so much for putting the effort into the BBC and Google RSS browser apps, what a sleek and clean idea to "future proof" news reading on our aging NST devices! The app looks and works great in-browser and your instructions are clear and concise, very nicely done! I have the BBC version up and running beautifully. HOWEVER, I no longer see the option to send Google Alerts to RSS feeds - I MUST provide an email address, which breaks the functionality of the Google News version of the app since I can't find a way to get the RSS string necessary to load in-browser. I hope I'm just missing something as the noob that I am - please let me know if you're aware of this issue and any workaround. Sadly, I fear this might be a typical case of Google randomly and abruptly dropping support for one of their features yet again, leaving users in the lurch.....

[MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION], have you ever tried Launcherpro instead of ADW? I LOVE it. I've noticed markedly lower battery consumption on all my devices (I use it on everything). You can even tease out functions of apps to be used with DesktopVisualizeR. You can use it, for example to have a DesktopVisualizeR icon that brings up wifi controls. You need to have the "launcherpro plus unlocker" installed to be able to resize widgets. I'll attach them both for you in case you're interested.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
@nmyshkin ... Is the nook store accessible on your device ?

I am unable to browse anything on the nook store.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Yes, and no. My main device is able to access the store and browse freely. My oldest NST which has the remnants of GApps installed, cannot. Both are running FW 1.2.2 and other than GApps are identical in setup. I don't know whether the old GApps installation is the issue, although I do know the install generates a new device ID so it's possible that this causes the reader to fail some kind of recognition test with B&N servers.

You really can't do much to the B&N system (hack, delete, disable apps) and still have Shop function. Just to check, I tried loading up B&N Home on the device with the non-working Shops. It sort of loads some book covers at the bottom but the "see all B&N Top 100" doesn't work and even the "reading now" doesn't seem to function. I may have monkeyed a little with some of the B&N files, the device is so old now and has been through many changes, but as I never use Shop (or Home) I've not noticed this issue before.

Edit: I ran a logcat on the device that's not getting into the Shop. Sure enough, it shows an invalid device ID. Of course it also says the device is running software version 1.2.1, which is not correct. So...it may be GApps, it may not.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
:( ... Any maneuvers that can get the store back up and running ?

hope @Renate may have some pearls of wisdom to get back the store access to B&N ....
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
Sorry, I don't even use WiFi on my reading devices.

I don't believe that I've even ever seen the B&N store.

@nmyshkin is the pro here.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
It's a sorry state of affairs when I am the "pro" :oops:

I took a look at /data/system/accounts.db for both the new NST (which can access Shop) and the older one with GApps (which cannot). Sure enough, the device IDs have different numbers of digits. I will not swear to it but I *think* @straygecko said somewhere in the original NTGAppsAttack thread that he needed an 8-digit ID to work with Google (pointless now, as nothing works), while the ID on my working device without GApps is only 7 digits. I didn't have the energy to read through that entire thread to see if this issue arose, although it surely must have.

Anyway, the simplest thing for me to do would be to restore a pre-GApps backup (I have two) and get the device ID from that (please let it be only 7 digits!!!). Then I can try writing that value into accounts.db on the non-working device and see if that is enough to "fix" things. It depends on where else this information might be lurking and where the B&N servers might be hoping to find it.

Of course, that might not work at all. I'll try one of the backups for Shop just to be sure that the device is not blacklisted for some reason, although I can't imagine why that would happen.

But...it's going to be a few days. I'm right in the middle of something on the device in question and have to get all of it off in a usable form before running a backup and then restoring one of the two old ones.

I'll keep you posted.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
thanks ... no hurry ...

As all this we do is for ... 'The love of this Device'

Keep us posted ... i am just so glad i could revive my Device back to life with a for parts device buy.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Wow! You are brave! I would not have the chutzpah to buy a for-parts unit and hope I could bring it to life. Congratulations!

So here is what I know (which is not much). I restored an old backup from 2018 which is FW 1.2.2, registered and rooted, nothing else. No configuring, additional apps, nothing. To my dismay Shop did not work :(

I looked at the device ID entry in accounts.db and it was the same as the value in the completely configured device (with GApps). However it is not the value shown in the logcat when accessing Shop fails. This is not at all what I expected so I started rummaging around, trying to avoid the obvious next step, which is to deregister, factory reset and register.

I found this response by @straygecko in the original NookManager thread (2013) to a member describing the same issue: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-nookmanager-graphical-rooter-for-1-2-x-and-beyond.2040351/post-40807020

I'm inclined to think this is the only real recourse, even though it doesn't address any issue other than "it didn't work right the first time". That said, such has often been my experience working with Android devices o_O

But...I am very reluctant to try since my device is working really well (other than Shop--which I never use) and I've done a lot to it so rebuilding it from scratch is not something I look forward to. I'm pretty sure that if I deregister and then register again, my recent backups will not be able to communicate with B&N at all and while I only use the Reader/Dictionary and Library, I'm thinking that any time WiFi is turned on there is going to be havoc coming down the line from B&N servers. Not something I want to deal with.

Just to see, I went to B&N on my PC and "purchased" a free book. It has yet to show up on the device in question and if I tap the "refresh" icon in the Library I get an "internal error" message. So something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark. As I say, I'm pretty sure the solution is to start "clean", but as everything I want to do works fine, I am reluctant to try that.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
@aiamuzz

I finally decided to do something about the non-functional Shop on one of my devices because I was going to look at the UK ROM and needed a sacrificial victim for my experiments. Long story. More later.

Anyway, it turns out I could not even deregister the device (or reregister, for that matter). I had to call B&N and although it took some persuading, I managed to talk the person into deregistering from their end. That fixed the problem. I was able to register again and everything--including Shop) works. So it may be the only "fix" is to go back to square one.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
@nmyshkin ... thanks for experimenting ... As I am not from UK, i think i need to email B&N to deregister it ... (I am yet to try to deregister it from my device) ...

About your successful registration, was that done after resetting it to factory ROM or just reboot your existing ROM and registering it afresh ?
