[Nook Touch General] sany:
Hi anyone

Please help me with my questions below, I picked up a Nook for predominantly reading only but wanted one or two apps to be installed from play store.

1. How to sideload books onto the Nook simple touch. I have loads of PDF on my hard drive and epub books. For this do I need to root at all?

2. I see that the rooting solutions on youtube all show 'android market' instead of 'Play store' - but also see these videos are several years old. So are there any new ways to root and get 'play store'.

3. How to sideload APKs not from Play store?

4. I am mainly looking to use Bible app like Quick Bible from the Play Store if not I would have to go and find the APK to side load it.

5. If something goes wrong can I get back to the factory setting of original Nook.

I like in some of the videos that the rooting still retained the original Nook screens and additionally there were options to go and select the apps from the side. Is this how all the rooted Nooks work?

Please suggest a more recent easier thread that can support all of my above queries.

thanks

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
No. You can copy epubs and PDFs directly onto the NST internal memory or onto an installed SD card.

You are correct in that those are all out-of-date. No PlayStore access via Google Apps since 2017. Google apps themselves are available only in a limited form. See the post on updating NTGAppsAttack. The Yalp Store app, however, can access the PlayStore without Google Apps and can be installed by NookManager (see the post on updating NookManager)

Copy the apk files from your PC to the NST via USB and install via a file manager, or install via ADB.

Yes, that part is always interesting. Not many apps in the PlayStore work for Android 2.1 and even those that theoretically do sometimes decline to run on the NST. I've seen mention of Bible apps on the forum so your best bet may be to search for that and see what worked for others.

Yes, unless you wipe out the factory recovery (not recommended by me).

Sort of. NookManager is not very invasive and you can--to some extent--tailor the few apps it installs to suit your wants. After that, it's sort of up to you. Some people want to wipe out all the B&N stuff (not my choice), others not so much. Depends on how you use your device--and that can evolve.

Seems like you just started one.
[Nook Touch General] sany:
Hi Thanks.

Just another clarification. So after I install Nook Manager - irrespective of whether I make a backup or not, by default there will be a factory recovery already in the device, correct?

I read somewhere in the thread that we make a backup and keep the SD card saved in a safe place additionally to saving the backup image as an additional backup. Can you please explain this further.

Say for example, I use the SD card image to install nook manager - do i use the same card as is to create a backup? Sorry I am asking for too many information! :)

thanks again

S
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Unless you intentionally replace or delete the factory recovery image, you can return to an out-of-the-box state by powering down, then powering up and holding the two lower hardware buttons at the first sign of the "your Nook is starting up" screen until a screen prompt appears. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to do that when you first get the device. You never know what has been done to it by the previous owner.

NookManager is a utility, not an installation. It resides on the SD card you prepare and can be used, as you say, to make backups of "work-in-progress" as well as an out-of-the-box backup, if you wish. The backups are stored by default on the NookManager SD card itself, but there is only provision for one. A new one will overwrite the old one. If you want to keep a few backups as you make changes to your NST, you can copy the backups to your PC if you connect your NST with the USB cable while NookManager is running. This condition makes the otherwise invisible backup partition on the card visible to your PC.

The title says it all, I had some communication port adapters 3D printed, ordered some 22-30AWG connectors with crimps, wired it up, and started playing. The goal is to replace the floppy disc drive with a more modern form of storage. This thread will be updated once in a while as I figure things out and add information for whoever sees this in the future.

Got my hands on this (photo below). There is no pin 12, that's the metal shield. Pin 1 doesn't do anything. 2 is 5v and 8 is ground, connecting to the shield also. So that solves the mystery of the 3 pins not on the schematic. The rest are tax rsx and serial clock. Now I can start working on establishing a connection. The Saturn fdd had a special board for this task, but a friendly ex Sega tech has provided me with the tools to communicate between PC and Saturn. Along with some helpful information. The guys over at yabause are helping me also, so big shout out to them. I can also let everyone know team Nova is working on a part that can be connected to the communication port that plays sms/game gear/ fba. Vbt has an iso out that has fba and sms. Burn it to a CD and it runs in the Saturn. And I'm working on non volatile memory to replace the internal and fdd storage.

Hi there, im using double din android multimedia. Android 4.4.4. The problem is: after one kid played with it ( looked for a music, tried some apps and so on) the sound dissapeared. I still can hear keybord button sounds as i press it, but radio, music and connected devices ( such as phone) - no sound. It shows that the file is playing and everything - but silent. I did factory reset but nothing changed. What can it be? Some guy said something about root explorer app. As i remember, i had this app installed. Now it was gone. Ive downloaded it again but it did not solve the problem. What should i do when i download root explorer app? What files should i root or if i install it - then everything is already rooted? Any ideas?

Volte not Working Sir

I flashed Rom v1.2 M50 Star on my 402+ Sky Mobile distributed by CG Govt. Everything is working fine as of now instead of VoLTE.

Network is showing. Internet also working. But VoLTE is missing.

Settings like enhanced volte mode are correctly set and there is no effect when changing preferred network to 3g/2g. Jio receives 4G signal every time.

In Testing menu, Preferred network type is set to unknown and volte provisioned is enabled. Changing both these settings don't have any effect and they revert to default automatically after exit.

Calling is working by using Jiocall App but i hate using an app for calling when phone is Volte enabled out of the box. Please suggest any solution or patch the Rom for volte issue.

By the way, thanks for this Wonderful ROM.
[Android General] Fire _Phoenix:
you can use 360os rom instead of this for volte feature https://xdaforums.com/android/development/360-os-rom-micromax-bharat-2-cg-sky-t3936724 (only video call bug but whatsapp video call working)

or infocus A2 rom

https://xdaforums.com/android/development/custom-rom-micromax-q402-plus-sc9832a-t3921004 (only auto rotation bug)

i will look for volte bug on this rom but for now you can use above roms( preferably 360 OS ROM)

what is your current os Linux or Window ?

if Windows then which version ? 32bit or 64bit

first of all, uninstall all adb and spdtreatrum driver from your current windows from control panel (program and feature) or use usb deview (portable version) depend upon your current os type 32/64bit.

run as administrator (and select and unistall).

if your current os is win 10/8/8.1 or 7 then yo have to reboot in test mode (search google for how to boot win 10 in test mode)

means you have to disable driver signature enforcment.

then install 15 sec adb & fastboot installer - https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037

Questions/Problems regarding Q Mobile Custom ROM

Sir, a great thanks for the ROM.

I have few questions about the ROM:

1. The network is restarting frequently after every few minutes. How to fix this? This problem is not faced in Stock ROM. Link for screen recorded video : https://youtu.be/by85zLwpnNQ

2. My mobile has got infected with two Malwares, "xhelper" and "fireway". Do you have any idea on how to remove them and prevent them from coming again. When i uninstall both, they install themselves again. Don't know which app is the real culprit behind them.

3. There is a system update. Is that for Custom ROM or the phone of which this ROM originally is?

Hello,

So I've been running into an issue where my files when greater than 1GB in file size, single or multiple number of files totaling that specified size, during transfer gets frozen and is unable to complete the file transfer. I've had the issue occurring for quite a while and finally had it and decided to reset my phone.

However, even after the reset the issue persists and has not gotten better.

The Mi Mix is currently running MIUI Global 10.2| Stable 10.2.1.0 (OAHMIXM) with a fresh reset. As I've allued this issue still occurred with earlier revisions of MIUI.

I've enable USB Debugging as well as installing the latest drivers and the problem persists. I don't know what's causing the issue since on a samsung phone I am able to complete file transfers of 1GB or greater just fine.

Is there any solution to my problem?

Thanks!
