XDA App Crashes

I'm trying to Run the XDA App on my Nookie Froyo NC but it keeps crashing as Soon as I Sign-In to my Account with it. Here's what I do:

1) Opened XDA App

2) Open Login Screen

3) Logged In

4) Click on Any Forum, Subscriptions, or Settings

5) Witness the App Crash

and if you Replace Steps 4 and 5 with "Attempt to Exit App", the App Force Closes instead.

I'd really like to use the App instead of the Web Page but no go. Any Suggestions?

I am trying to write a script, that would fake internal storage as an sdcard for various applications like Dolphin Browser, etc.

I figured out the way to do it in terminal emulator:

su
mount -o bind /media /sdcard
setprop EXTERNAL_STORAGE_STATE mounted

Is it the right way to do it? Besides, is there any way to automatically execute this commands at startup? Or maybe my problem can be solved somehow else?

Thx in advance!

Stream VLC video

I'm trying to get a stream sending from my MacBookPro using VLC.

I’ve tested with a notebook with WXP and I can see the stream video with VLC.

Before I get the Nook, I’ve tested in a 7” tablet (bq verne) with android what said in this link

(i cant put links yet)...livesony.com/foro/f102/vi...ndo-vlc-10468

In the android tablet (bq verne) I open a Opera browser and open the url rstp://my-ip:1234/stream.sdp and I could see in the android tablet the stream video from the MBP+VLC if the video is a file (.mp4 or .flv).

(if I send the video from my EyeTV stick, the browser tell me “Format not support” ... but this could be the second part ...)

The bad news are that IN THE NOOK COLOR I CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING.

When I open the url in Opera browser an alert say that the video can´t be played.

Any Suggestions?

thanks

How to install a new keyboard

Can someone give a step-by-step on how to install a different keyboard in a rooted NC? I know that the apk file has to be written to the system/app directory, but I'm unclear how to do that and what to do then. Thanks very much.
[Nook Color Android Development] starship:
step 1, install your input method (aka keyboard) apk.

setp 2, open root explorer, find the apk file just installed in data/app

step 3, move it to system/app

step 4, go to nookcolor tools, choose keyboard, your input method should be there.
[Nook Color Android Development] starship:
I have my own question here.

Why there is no app list pop out when long pressing "n" key? Souldn't the "n" key be the home key in android phones? Is there any patch or hack that can make the physical "n" key show recent apps when long pressed.

Thank you.
[Nook Color Android Development] wicked_beav:
My big question here is... Why are we running Froyo off of the sd card instead of flashing it to the device like we do on our phones? Is there a thought process behind that... and is it that Froyo is not yet complete and that is why we are running off the sd card?
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Until recently, Clockworkmod didn't work, so it was very difficult, and very dangerous.

Now, still dangerous, but getting easier.
[Nook Color Android Development] drwohl:
My problem is that I can't figure out how to get it into data/app. I'm getting an error message when I use an ADB push command that it's a read-only directory, even when I've gone into shell to mount the system directory as r/w. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

Is there any way to force the market to show all apps?

I'm not talking about the ability to scroll lists, rather, the ability to see all the apps in the market.

I saw in another thread that some apps are developed according to API 8, and those won't show up in our Android 2.1 market. This is apparently even true if one is running the latest version of the market interface, which makes sense since the server is still viewing the device according to OS version... and that is thus tied to the API level.

Is there any way to shock the system to allow us to see all the apps? Will those apps that are apparently coded according to API Level 8 even run stable on Android 2.1 (API 7)?

Searching the market, there are numerous apps that my Droid can see that the NC refuses to find when searching.

I know I can just download apps and then drop them onto the phone, but curious about both stability and well... appeasing to my laziness. :D

For instance, I try to search for Firefox. I search Firefox, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox - nothing... but it's the first result on my Droid when searching.
[Nook Color Android Development] starship:
Some apps wouldn't show up on our Nook Color because NC doesn't have a carrier. You can download and install marketenabler and then fake T-Mobile. I think you can search and find Firefox then.
[Nook Color Android Development] starship:
Have you tried root explorer? It would be much easier to move things around using this app.
[Nook Color Android Development] destrekor:
That didn't work, at least, it hasn't changed anything.

It seems odd that some people are reporting the ability to see all apps in the market, but some people cannot.

I am having the same issue and root explorer hasn't helped. I can not get it mounted as r/w. I have tried everything short of flashing back to stock and re-rooting.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jrbourque:
hoping im asking in the correct section..... i rooted my nook yesterday had everything running good with the stock(rooted) rom, I used the auto nooter method well i went to bed and left my sd card with the imgs on it and woke up and i get bootloop on the n screen i can make it to recovery....so now im just wondering the proper steps to fix this since there isnt like a rooted stock rom to flash or is there? any advice would be appreciated
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Couple of thoughts. We have discovered that the nook randomly reboots (there are work arounds for that) and possibly it rebooted overnight and read your sd card and corrupted your root. May try to pull out sd card and reboot (there are threads about reformatting your sd card after root for use). Here is a link to restore to stock if it comes to that. Good luck

Book icon on rooted CNook not working...

I've rooted 4 Color Nooks with autonooter and none of them has the open-book icon on the notification bar working. Any fix for this? Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] destrekor:
Have you opened an ebook in the nook app since the last boot?

I think it only serves as a way to jump to the last-read page of whatever you have been reading, and it only tracks this if the Nook app has been accessed since the last boot of the device.

Noob ADB Question

I can't seem to figure out how to access my nook using adb. I used Nook tools to put my nook in development mode, but when i plug it in my comp, it doesn't do anything (not even asking for a driver or anything). So i try using adb commands and it keep just telling me "No device found". I have used adb with my Evo without a problem before so I don't understand what i'm missing. Also, I already tried restarting to ensure that it wasn't the problem. Any helpwould be great appreciated.

Try using Adb Wireless from the market...Much easier...
[Nook Color Android Development] Filiab:
Hey fellow XDAers... today I'm plagued with a rather strange problem. My market has vanished!

I was not playing around with any setting, was not using ADB, and didn't touch a thing in Root Explorer.

The steps I had last before the disappearance, were downloading the updated NHL LIve APK from the Nexus One thread into my Drop Box. Unistalling my original NHL Live, then using Quick Boot, to boot my device into Recovery.

When rebooting, my NC died from battery. I plugged it in immediately. 15 minutes later when it finally booted back on, my market was no longer there.

Any suggestions? This has really left me scratching my head

Hey, I've got a friendly request for the kernel hackers out there. Can someone build a Nookie Froyo kernel (don't need/want to monkey with overclocks) that has iptables support built-in?

The reason that I ask is that I'd like to be able to get my NC on the internet at work. To do so, I need to use an authenticating proxy server. I've got transproxy installed (something that a guy over in the HTC Desire forums built), but it requires iptables support in the kernel to work.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
Check to make sure Vending.apk is still in /system/apps/. If not try pushing a new copy. The new Market apk can be found in one of the Newer threads I think it was "Market 2.2.x on Nookie Froyo" or something similar. You can also find the Old Market on the Nookie Froyo Tips page at NookDevs.

Also perform the Steps on the Tips page for Enabling Protected Market apps.

used nook, need advice

ok, just got a a nook color from someone off of craigslist. Now i have been reading up some on what i need to do to get android installed on this. All I've done so far is power the thing on. I skip the video, etc....but it won't connect to my wifi. I don't have any problems connecting with my nexus or anything else.

The nook says to power it down or contact customer support. When i power it off, the screen goes black and there is a grey bar at the top that says "android" on the top. Does it sound like someone tried rooting it but failed? Customer support said they didn't know anything about the android at the top.

As of now there is no sdcard in it. Can someone point me in the right direction as to what my options are? Thank you

It may be easier to simply pm me. Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Android Development] destrekor:
I apologize if this one has been asked already:

when running Nookie Froyo (be it on SD or internal memory), you are thus forced to use the standard Nook for Android app, yes?

Is there any way to get the Nook Magazines using that app? It appears magazines are "only for nookcolor", and that's kind of implying the nookcolor using the built-in apps.

Rooted Nook color has no sound

I apologize in advance if anyone has asked a similar question. I was unable to find it.

I have a Nook rooted using Autonooter 2.12.25 the steps from this page.

I also added the programs here and followed most of these steps

I decided to use ADW Launcher as I think its better then Zane.

I can't get any sound. The You Tube is crashing when I try to open it.

I did a complete factory wipe and have redone the autonooter 3 times now and no sound. After the factory wipe I have all the sound I can get. Any thoughts?

Would you say the ease of adding apps and updating roms is relatively much more easier and less of a headache than with the Viewsonic G-Tablet?

Im looking to get this and it seems appealing. But I was told It doesnt run flash yet
[Nook Color Android Development] ClarkSt:
For me, Zeam was the best choice over Launcher Pro and others because you can remove everything but the Tray icon.

As for sound, have you tried with ear buds or headphones? Just curious. I haven't heard of anyone having this problem.

NC won't boot running Decad3nce + 1.1 Ghz

I had my NC up and running Decad3nce 1.01 ROM and the 1.1 Ghz kernel in top of it since Decad3nce released it. Everything has been running perfectly fine, no reboots just perfect. Tonight I picked up my NC and woke it from sleep, turned on the wifi and browsed the web for about 2 mins then all of the sudden the original B&N setup screen flashed for a second and I hit the n button to go back to my home launcher. Everything was frozen and about 10 seconds later the screen went black and showed the android coming out of the box and a loading bar. Nothing loaded and it hung on this screen for about 30s. Then it rebooted and sent me into the B&N original setup screen. So I turned off the NC and booted into CMW. I scrolled to restore and chose restore and it went through the steps and said everything was alright. I then rebooted and the screen turned off and on but again it started to boot the original B&N sequence. I held down power to cancel that and now the NC responds to nothing.

I tried putting it on the charger and powering on, usb to mac ..everything I can think of. The battery is fully charged . Anyone have any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Did anyone see this on Cnet? They are reporting the Nook Color shortage may be due to an update to block rooting. I wonder if they are licensing the eFuze crap like Motorola?

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] NuroSlam:
As i see it the only real way to block root is to disable boot from sd

[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
After I posted this, I noticed there are two other threads going. Someone claiming inside knowledge supposes inventory shifting to where sales are hot and/or an issue with hardware due to increased demand. A pre-emptive strike to remove sub-par units from circulation before they become returns.

[Nook Color Android Development] zdrifter:
Just a suggestion to the MODs .. may want to think about 'splitting' this forum (DEV) into sub-forums .. one with development of ROMs and eMMC's and the other for the NC system .. or some such division .. just a thought to make things easier possibly ...

I am getting a Nook Color at the end of the week and just had one question.

If I were to burn the Honeycomb image to a microSD, would I need to root my Nook Color, or will it just automatically boot from the microSD slot?
[Nook Color Android Development] jim_1984:
It'll just boot from the microsd. No rooting required.
[Nook Color Android Development] haganme:
It makes no sense that they'd try to apply some kind of "root blocker" to the remaining stock. That would mean sending all those units back to china or wherever to modify, then packing them back up to send back to the states. A lot of trouble and expense, especially as they are most likely selling the nook color at a hefty loss. It makes far more sense IMO that they are shuffling stock around to higher-demand areas before they bring the new updated 2.2 nook to the streets. :cool:

...as this guy said in the cnet comments:

"by h2oskier69er February 3, 2011 10:07 AM PST

Why would B&N want to "lock it down"? So they can cut down on their Nook Color tablet sales? Think of all the additional customers that are buying their tablet...you know there is a % who will probably try out ebooks from B & N since they already have the tablet anyway.

If in fact someone at B & N is trying to lock it down, they should be immediately fired for costing their company money in terms of tablet sales.

Like they should care what they do with them as long as they are selling. Seem to me that would be why they produced them...to sell.

It is Samsungs problem if they have an overpriced slowpoke of a tablet."

I have been searching everywhere for a solution to a relatively minor issue that is driving my crazy, I'm starting to feel like a total noob.

Win32DiskImager.exe does NOT work for me AT ALL. It's a very simple program, yet for some reason, every time I attempt to write an image to my SD card, it gives me a "Not Enough Space on Disk" error. I redownloaded it, tried 2 different cards, 2 different SD adapters to plug into my laptop port, tried it on two different laptops, no luck. Always the same error, even when running as administrator.

It doesnt matter what image file I try on what card, nothing seems to work. I haven't seen anyone else complain about this issue, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I was able to make due with WinImage for the time being, which ironically is a more complicated piece of software. Go figure.

I have been reading many threads and cannot find a clear answer to my question

Question:

Why do I need to use an SD Card to root and install a custom ROM? Does this mean that I always need to use an SD Card in Nook Color?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Because its much easier to do it with a bootable SD card that writes to the internal flash than by exploiting privilege escalation or overflow bugs like people have to do on other devices?

And you can remove it afterwards.
[Nook Color Android Development] aho43:
Are you using a built in SD card reader or a USB device? I had the same problem when I was using the built in cardreader on my laptop. Switched to a usb card reader and it worked.
[Nook Color Android Development] cnewsgrp:
That explains it. Thank you so much. Just to confirm I understand correctly I can use a 8 GB microSD for the Rooting and installing a custom ROM to nook color. After that is done I can use it for data with fat32 partition just like I would use it with regular android phone / tablet? Only time I use it next is when I want to update the rom.
[Nook Color Android Development] rohit275:
I too was using the built in one on two different laptops. That's really strange, not sure why that wouldn't work. Thanks for the info though, perhaps, I'll have to look into getting myself a cheap usb reader, or use the one in the printer I have packed away somewhere...

Question about Nook app on Honeycomb

I really want to go back to Honeycomb. But I didnt like how the Nook eReader UI was deleted when a new Rom is installed. Has anyone figured a way that we can install Honeycomb but at the same time keep the Nool UI for reading. The one you can download from Market is ok, I have it on my Captivate, but it doesnt do all the extra stuff that the Nook Color UI can do.

I also would like to know if any of the for Honeycomb App-widgets have been found and ported yet. That would be great. I really liked the Gmail UI for Honeycomb.

This has probably all been discussed somewhere but I myself have not found it in the xda forums i have searched or the nookdev forums i have searched.

Hey all!

I have a HTC Hero running Gingerbread and I create themes for it all the time so I'm not a noob when it comes to android, rooting, or flashing. I am wanting to buy a NC but before I do I want to make sure of a couple of things.

1) Is the NOOKcolor right for me? The main reason I am buying it is to use it as a tablet, not a reader. I could care less about reading books on a tab, but thats just me. I really want a tablet type device that can run the same apps as my phone (android market) but on a much bigger screen. I understand that as-is stock cannot do this but I want to make sure rooting and flashing will accomplish my goals.

2) Is there an RUU type of thing for the NC that can be used to return it to stock for warranty/return purposes should the need arise?

3) Any warnings/flaws about the NC?

4) Any must have accessory suggestions for someone about to buy a NC?

Sorry for the long post but I figured its better than 4 separate ones.

Thank in advance!
