According to rico2001 on the forum below, the full version of Quickoffice works on the Nook Color.

We ended up taking it back to B&N. After telling the lady at the check-out the sound was messed up, she responded "well, those kindof things just happen to these." She swapped it for a new one without even checking to see if she could reproduce the issue. That's not too encouraging for new NC owners like myself.

Luckily, we re-nootered his Nook and the sound seems to work just fine.

For anyone with the same (or similar) problem, wiping YouTube data solved it.
[Nook Color Android Development] brockster:
I rooted my nookcolor today using 2.12.25. I linked to gmail and browsed the web and them put the nook on the charger. When I went back to use the nook about an hour later, the nook had a black screen and was unresponsive. Held the power button down for 10sec and still nothing. I also tried n, + and power and nothing. Tried nooter sd and the n goes green and a min later back to orange but still no boot. Any suggestions?

Sorry, miss understood your post. If you think you've bricked it, maybe try a full boot droid.

This is annoying. Adb wont work. I have adb set up on my computer and it works fine with my phone but when i do adb devices i get ???????????? For the serial and no permissions where it should say devices. I thought auto booted added adv support?

YouTube fix ?

I ran Auto-Nooter a few days ago without any problems and ended up with YouTube not working. The initial post mentions a way to fix it but I couldn't quite understand what the steps were.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
You don't have permission to access the device, fix udev. Just like any other time one sets up adb in Linux...
[Nook Color Android Development] brockster:
It seems to be bricked. If I hold the n,+ & power I get a color change in the power cable but that is it. I will have to get a 2g microsd to do the droid boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] gadgetrants:
Kevin, if reformatting with the NC doesn't work, it's because Winimage repartitioned the card to only use the 39MB partition. I had the same problem. I thought Windows disk management could repartition the SD card, but I was wrong. :( Anyway, I downloaded and ran the free version of Easus Partition Manager (PC) and it brought the card back to full capacity.

Mount sd in book and format. This has been discussed many times. I just updated to 2.12.25 an it worked for me no problems.

Almost there...

Hi, I read the full thread and didn't see anyone with this exact issue. I ran the root program and got logged into youtube and saw market. Gmail too. It would not sync gmail but now after a few minutes it is working. I was able to use Market and find apps but it seems to be stuck on NOT DOWNLOADING any of the files. I verified my Gmail did sync and I am connected to internet. Suggestions?

Thanks for all you do!

[Nook Color Android Development] jayvan:
Make sure you have an SD card installed...
[Nook Color Android Development] kenarcia:
Excuse my ignorance but why? I used the SD card for the boot process..then I removed it. Do I need to leave it in or did you mean reformat it and install it for additional storage? Thanks!

Factory Nook startup/ keyboard

Thanks for all of your work. The NC is so much better thanks to the advances made by XDA. Two questions. Anyway to restore the default startup screen and keyboard so it is not so obvious it is hacked? I actually kind of like the default NC keyboard.
[Nook Color Android Development] tech_head:
I had to reflash back to stock and do a data wipe.

Funny thing, I ran .25 on my stock 1.0.0 and my NookColor is running great.

The root and everything worked fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] naezwood:
Try clearing the data or cache or whatever it is for the Market app. I'm not sure how that works on the Nook, but sometimes I have to do it for my Xperia X10 when that happens.
[Nook Color Android Development] kenarcia:
Re-rooted and all is well

Thanks..I ended up doing a factory reset, then re-rooting and all is well. All works now.. GMail, Market and YouTube..woohoo!!

Wow.

Registered for this forum just to warn people about WinImage.

Wasted 1.5 hours just trying to put the stupid image on the SD card.

Avoid WinImage.

Get win32diskimager.

it is at launchpad.net

If OP could amend instructions, it would likely save a lot of people some grief.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
WinImage has worked fine for me every time I use it. What problems were you having?
[Nook Color Android Development] fprice02:
Gotta agree, winimage worked fine for me. No issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] Deodexed:
I have done this 4 times now and still I cant get Market to download! Ken when you did a factory reset it took you back to 1.0.0 did you auto nooter from there or did you upgrade again to 1.0.1.

The post says you must be 1.0.1 so I am assuming you upgraded, but since I have had no success with this way, i am checking everything!
[Nook Color Android Development] gtriever:
Same here. I wonder how many people with problems don't run as Administrator or use a dedicated card reader.

Intermittent/missing Return & Menu Buttons

I've read most of this thread & searched this and others, but haven't found an answer.

Question:

The Return & Menu buttons on the notification bar have been intermittent. To clarify, they are there sometimes and not there when I need them most. Is this normal? If not, is there a fix? Also I've found in apps like FaceBook when viewing picture albums, I get stuck there with out Menu Bar or return button. To get out, I've had to Home out, launch SoftKeys and return to FB and hit the Return button.

Your Help would be appreciated,
[Nook Color Android Development] gadgetrants:
Yep, the Facebook issue is discussed earlier on this thread. Not fixed yet.

You're right that the back/menu buttons are context specific. I suggest dropping SoftKeys, and running Button Savior (free in the Market). Probably a more reliable solution.

-Matt
[Nook Color Android Development] Benny1234:
The other workaround Ive found for FB pics is to tap comment, then when the field comes up, hit back twice in rapid succession.

Can someone tell me what the major differences are between 2.12.25 and 1.12.18? I used the older version a few weeks ago, and havent had issues. Should I be upgrading?
[Nook Color Android Development] gadgetrants:
The trick that works for me (believe it or not) is to hit the "Share" button. It FAILS!!...and takes me back to the album. :rolleyes:

Am I the only one who can't get contacts on this thing? I'd like to use this for email and Google voice, but without contacts, I'm stuck. Ideas?

Sent from my Nook Color.
[Nook Color Android Development] tboothie:
I had both a dedicated card reader and ran it as administrator, but had no luck with WinImage. I was not using the registered version, but that should not have mattered. The bigger issue I see with it is that 30 days from now it will need to be registered or it will no longer function. Since win32diskimager is MUCH easier for the uninitiated and completely free, it would make sense to switch to that.

Of course, searching the thread would solve so many problems for people (not all, but a lot). :)
[Nook Color Android Development] jayvan:
For whatever reason, it seems that you need the SD card installed (formatted for extra storage) before the market will work. I had the same problem until I put the SD card back in and reformatted it. Market has worked ever since. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] tboothie:
Yes, the standard NC apps from B&N do not have a back or menu button on them. If you do not see them on the bottom, the best advice I have seen so far is this: swipe to the left on the notification bar at the bottom and that works just like the back button. It works on every application I have used so far and is a huge help. I no longer use SoftKeys at all...
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Market works fine for me, with or without an SD card installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] KeithLM:
I have that problem too. I have three seemingly random contacts that are visible in the contacts app, although so far as I can tell that is useless. And in gmail it never offers to fill in contact info so I have to know the e-mail address. I may have to wipe and start again. I wonder if I did something wrong when choosing accounts and it screwed up. For what it's worth I have google apps account as well as a regular gmail account, and the apps account is what I use for mail.

I did manage to get the calendar working by going into gmail and selecting the manage accounts option then re-adding the apps account. But the contacts still aren't synced.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Sooooo you're not seeing what you did wrong yet? ;) Your udev rules have to match the idVendor of your Nook Color. That'll fix the permissions. And the ini file is to tell adb which USB vendor to try to talk to. You do need both, once you fix the udev rule.

Touchdown works to sync the contacts.. You won't see them anywhere outside of Touchdown, but Gmail, K9 and other things WILL autofill and such, which is what's really important to me. I haven't tried but it's possible that things like Dialer One, takePhone etc might also show them.

BUT.. Big $20 caveat... It apparently removes the contacts from the NC when you uninstall the 30 day trial. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Karine:
Still hoping for a response to this, especially since it appears that there are others having the same experience...

I originally rooted my Nook on 12/24 with auto-nooter with what I believe was version 2.12.18. I re-ran the auto-nooter process with 2.12.25. The process completed successfully, but despite the original post in this thread stating that 2.12.25 includes Softkeys 3 and the Gingerbread keyboard, when I open Softkeys it still shows the version as 2 and if I enable the Gingerbread keyboard through NookColor Tools, I end up with no keyboard at all. Why do I not have Softkeys 3 and not have the Gingerbread keyboard and how do I fix this?

Also, how do I pick a live wallpaper?
[Nook Color Android Development] naezwood:
I have this same problem and my friend whose Nook was upgraded out of the box to 1.0.1 and then rooted using 2.12.25 had the same problem. It must be a problem with the new version of Auto-Nooter and not a bug when going from 2.12.18 to 2.12.25.

For eBay issues use Titanium backup to clear the settings. Afterwards don't login to your eBay account.

[Nook Color Android Development] bbatchelder:
You have to install an alternative launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro. The B&N Home Screen does not support live wallpaper selection.

This stumped me for a while too!
[Nook Color Android Development] zappaziz:
Thats normal with the applications. One way around it is to use a thrid party launcher like adw or zeam. These show the applications immediately.

for your youtube issue:

From NookDevs

If YouTube fails to start

In *some* instances, Youtube will now flake out on you when you try to run it. That's no big deal. Simply uninstall/reinstall Youtube.

download the signed youtube app -- this is a zip file, you will have to unzip it and copy the apk to your adb directory. Then.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

adb push signed_YouTube.apk /system/app

adb reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] onetrickpony2:
Same exact issue. NC would not boot from SD after I had dd'd off a Netbook running Ubuntu. Solved it by copying image to another computer, Mac, and dd'ing off the Mac.
[Nook Color Android Development] jmoch2:
R

I rooted three Nook colors with the same auto nooter file, one has the gb keyboard and the other two don't.

The only difference is that I rooted mine right out if the box and the other two used theirs for a day first.

Hope this helps...

I was able to use my MyTouch4g to write the sd varsity no problems. Let avoid having to go buy an adapter as i only have microsd and no adapters. Not sure why other people can't get it to work. If you really have problems still let me know and i can walk you through it i guess.

But i know itorked perfectly for me and i am no expert.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jeremy414:
Where do i download the app? what is apk and adb mean? Also, I am now getting random reboots when screen is in standby
[Nook Color Android Development] sugarkang:
I suspect that 90% of the people using WinImage wouldn't have a problem.

That's also why I spent over an hour trying to figure out the issue.

For whatever reason, there is sizeable minority of us having issues with WinImage.

Issues for me were the same as other people.

Win 7, 32-bit.

1GB micro SD card by SanDisk.

PROCEDURE USED (and failed):

1. Used Nook Color to

format

the micro SD card.

2. Put micro SD card in VAIO notebook.

3. Double clicked WinImage (Administrator) Icon.

4. When asked to pick target, WinImage shows two partitions on SD card.

1st partition has 990MB - tried to select, transfer fails with error message.

2nd partition has 0MB - transfer appears to go through.

5. Put micro SD card into Nook Color.

6. Reboot Nook Color by holding Power button for 10 seconds.

7. Normal boot, no Android.

8. WTF?

SOLUTION: do not use WinImage if this describes your problem. See my previous post, as I've already forgotten the name of the program that actually works. It's Win32image something or other.

....

ALSO, why do I need to wait FIVE minutes to edit my own post to prevent spam?

FAIL.

PLEASE make sure you read the OP properly, as everything you need to know is there.

If you are still looking for help with a problem, use the "Search This Thread" feature at the top right of the page.

ONLY then if you still can't find your answer should you post another question in the thread.

Thanks ;)

I too have both an apps account and a gmail account. Does the market work for you? I mistakenly tried to associate with my apps account first, and since that point I've never been able to get the market to work. Also, calendar doesn't work (nor contacts).

Thanks a lot for Auto-Nooter... its great!

Just installed 2.12.25 on my 1.0.1 Nook Color for the first time. I thought everything was going well except when I got to step 11 "Click the Menu button (The one RIGHT of the Up Arrow)"... I click it and nothing happens. Same with the return arrow button. I launch other apps too and when this menu button shows up, it does nothing... no menus or anything popup as I would expect.

Any ideas?

Folks

As a newbie I wanted more out of my new toy. I loaded 2.12.25 mooter... All was goodish .. But now when I go to app store to down load. I select a product and select install and then go to downloads it just says it is starting downloads and stays that way.... I thought it was and issue with the nookcolor seetings app . It has been selected to accept no-market apps. but it says it a apk file needs to be system/apps directory

Maybe I am missing something But how do I fix this issue.. Or how do I move things around or update Files...

I looked in the Directories when I am connected to computer But see nothing other than my books etc.. so i am assuming i cannot see sys apps..
[Nook Color Android Development] echardcore:
I am pretty sure my problem is something with WimImage. I know that it is creating the image on the card but when I put it into the nook and then connect the USB cable to the PC as stated in OP, nothing happens. It wont boot. If I remove the card it boots as normal. Been trying to play with this for 2 nights. It's fun though!

Strange

I used winimage all seemed to work.. I just tried to reset again and reroot... Really weird...

I turned off my NC without card. Put card In and turned power on.. Looks like nothing is going on.. Had cable attached and noticed color change and just left it... It finally came up.. Tried YouTube. Worked

trie Gmail.. Said it needed sync.. But I could not find set up..

went to market and downloaded APP nytimes free.. Isaid it downloaded and installed

But where is it.. ???

[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Stop. The market has been having some random issues since Christmas, I suspect it's all of the extra traffic from new phones, tablets, etc.. It's VERY unlikely anything to do with your NC or configuration.

My Nexus One was doing this the other day and then it wasn't... NC did it once then about 5m later I saw the notification that the app I was trying to install was installed.... Just try it again.

using a Apple Mac with Nook

Hello Everyone,

A few Q's here: I discovered that wifi public spaces allow for solid and robust connection to the Nook while ones at home on my mac mini on my desk are totally random. Same with a friends PC network. Wifi works fine with my Dell Mini 10v (hackintoshed).

Anyone have any thoughts? I found the bellow as one explanation elsewhere:

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Hi, Kairi, I've seen some posts on the internet - don't know if they are correct - that Nook seems to work fine with Non-secured, WEP, and WPA-PSK [TKIP] wireless settings but could have issues with WPA2-PSK [AES] thus if your home router is set to WPA2-PSK [AES], it'd be best to set it instead to Auto (WPA or WPA2) mode so that your other devices that support WPA2 could still use that while Nook can get through on WPA - again, don't know if that's 100% correct.

In any case, you should be able to register from any Barnes & Noble store that provides free Wi-Fi to Nook's or any Starbucks or any McDonalds or airport or any other place that provides free Wi-Fi service or your home’s wireless router.

Also, there's have been the following notes in forums - again, they might not be correct for your particular situation or with your Nook model:

1. The Nook does not support WEP with shared key authentication, only open system authentication (which in spite of the name is actually safer). So check if your wireless router WEP authentication is set to shared or open. Only open will work with the Nook.

2. The router is set to WEP but Nook auto-misidentified the network as WPA2, and then failed to connect. Once I went to the bottom of the list and chose "Install Manually" and then went through selecting WEP, all was well.

-

can someone confirm this? Any mac owners out there using a Nook?

Rooting went smoothly so there's no issue with that, just getting software onto it as I need to go find a decent cafe with wifi.

I'd love to see a recommended app list with links too. And when looking for new apps and whatever search engine asks for what phone your using - what do you put? I tried to get Angry Birds d/'d and used the Samsung Galaxy Tab as I figured its the same size screen and no go.

Cheers

[Nook Color Android Development] Karine:
This has nothing to do with rooting. It's a hardware defect and if you return it to B&N they'll replace it for you. It happened to me and others as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] neodorian:
Just rooted (nooted?) my girlfriend's new NC. Worked great on the first try and was worth the MicroSD/SD adapter that I picked up at Radio Shack. Got Ad-free Android and both Angry Birds installed as a demo but I will probably mess around with other apps when she's not looking and/or telling me to leave her new toy alone and to get my own if I want to play with it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Karine:
There seem to be a lot of people that installed 2.12.25 and didn't get Softkeys 3 or the Gingerbread keyboard. Does anyone know how to fix this for us or know how we can easily install Softkeys 3 and the Gingerbread keyboard post-tense?
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
Well tell me why it was perfectly fine until i updated to 1.01????
[Nook Color Android Development] Karine:
For me and others the issue arose before the update to 1.01, so I believe for you it's coincidental. After my device was exchange, I did the update to 1.01 again and have had no further trouble with my sound.
[Nook Color Android Development] joeminati:
Question. If I use the sc card during the auto nooter process, does the one used for the process have to be used for using the nook? Or by that point, the microsds are hotswappable? I have a 8 gig coming in the mail. But have a 4 gig on me now. I want to try the hack now lol. Just wanted to see if i can just swap the microsds when the 8 gig comes in the mail....
[Nook Color Android Development] tigersgt:
Yes, just copy and paste everything in your 4GB card to the 8GB one.
