How do you update more than one app at a time?

Also, on the bigger picture side of things, what version of the OS is this? 2.1? 2.2?

Will we be able to get updates(big and small) to the os as time goes on? How?
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
In my experience, you are better off updating one app at a time. Things usually go smoother that way.

It's 2.1. The 2.2 that is floating around is still in the early stages, from what I understand.

Can't sideload apps

I have Autonooter 2.12.25. Everything works fine but for the sideload issue. Any ideas? (the box is check in NookColor Tools.)

Again, disregard, figured it out. Thanks!

Use Root Explorer to put the apk in system/app. Then install it from there.

Sent from my nook color

then did install: didn't work.

Reboot: still doesn't work.

Any other ideas, please?

fixed; thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] DerelictMan:
This worked for me, it's from the nookdevs wiki:

"Note: If you still have issues installing APKs on the device open NookColor Tools, uncheck on-device install, then recheck it and reboot."

NookColor Tools didn't request SU rights

I checked the SU log and Apps to see there is NO request from NookColor Tools for SU rights? Can this be the issue? Can I ad SU to NC Tools manually?

Allset.

Just as an FYI, you could have went to a command prompt and type "diskpart" and typed "list volume" and "select volume" of your SD card and type "clean". This would have set your card back to its original formatted size and allow you to format it for its full capacity. Hope it helps.

Keyboards

I cannot figure out how to install 3rd party keyboards from the Market. They appear to install fine, but never show up in the list of keyboards listed running the "nookcolor" settings app. If I run the original settings app, it refers to the nookcolor settings, and, again, that only list the two original keyboards, the 2.1 and the Gingerbread. Is there any way to solve this problem?

After deciding the G Tablet wasn't my cup of tea, I was ready to wait for something new after CES.

Of course leaving well enough alone doesn't compute, so I grabbed a Nook Color on impulse after leaving the gym today (B and N is right next door).

Very glad I did. Got it rooted right away. Being a Kindle guy, I installed the Kindle app right off the bat.

Thanks for such a great tutorial.

Hopefully someone has run into this but I cant see anything after a few searches.

"3 Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)

4 Insert AutoNooter SDcard into your NOOKcolor.

5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)

6 Your NookColor will reboot when it's done."

I got a little carried away this weekend and tried the 950 and 1ghz kernels as well as CW 3.0.0.5 and well, it didn't go so well. so I use the factory reset zip, upgrade to 1.0.1 but while my NC can read all the SDs just fine it doesn't boot from them. so I have a "stock 1.0.1 however I somehow have Market and nookdevs apps in my extras.

Would love to get this thing back in shape, at least when I had CWR I could ADB in to tinker but now its not recognized.

Any help would be a plus thanks and sorry I will gladly move this if its in the wrong spot, just want to get my Nooter back :(

looking for original nookcolor latinime.apk

does anyone have a copy of the original nookcolor latinime.apk that they can post or point to? or maybe someone knows where autonooter might have saved this (it appears to have simply deleted it).

and to answer those who will respond with "why would you want that" instead of actually answering the post, the answer is "because i do" (although the real answer is because when turned into landscape mode the multitouch keyboard covers up the whole screen so you cannot click back on what you were viewing, like a web page to click a button).

this is not a knock on autonooter, i just do not want to have to restore my nookcolor just to get the original keyboard apk T_T

thanks ^_^-b

edit:

nevermind, i found the keyboard in the alternate thread cited above! for those interested...

Hi guys, first of all this Autonooter worked great for me and Thank You for all the work.

Everything was perfect till last night, I hit the Library button (I use it once in a while) and I got a message that said something like System error, the Nook Color will reboot... It was late at night so I don't remember exactly the message but it was something like that... While the system was rebooting I got a screen with a Clearing Data process... At that point I thought that my root will be screwed up... I was right, after booting I got the Android config. screen (set up Google acct., etc) It didn't accept my google account and now I just have the market (that doesn't work anymore) and just a few of all the programs I installed.

Now while its booting it actually shows the original Nook Color screen (white background). I'm going to root it again, I wonder if I should do a System Wipe or just re-rooted over the mess I have...?

Another thing to consider is that I use Advanced Task Killer and I kill most of the defaults like Gmail, Gallery, etc... I usually kill them all and never had a problem using the original Library...

Did anyone have a problem like mine?

It's going to be a PAIN to re-root it every time the system error shows up and cleans the whole thing while booting...

BTW this just happened to me once... and it still shows version 1.0.1

...I can't wait for B&N update to Android 2.2 and an Auto-nooter for that!!

Thanks for any ideas....

System Errors / Self-Reboot & Resets...

It sounds to me that you have a Barnes & Noble registration problem. If the device is not registered to B&N's servers and does not maintain synchronization of the registration certificate, then B&N issues a wipe / reset in order to ensure you are not attempting to violate DRM protections on their books.

See this other thread for more details:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889122

I believe you can activate registration via the Nook Color Tools app, (2nd "Wireless Settings" option, if I recall correctly?), or be sure to register before renooting.
[Nook Color Android Development] i_couch:
I got my nook last Tuesday and rooted it successfully on Friday. Everything was working fine up until yesterday when the screen would randomly tweak out then become unresponsive. It seems to happen most when in the browser or in the Android Market. The nook behaves as if I'm touching the screen and rapidly clicks. For example if I'm in a keyboard it will keep entering the same letter regardless of whether I touched it or not. If I'm in a web page it will often zoom in and out rapidly. If I try to click something when this is happening, it just continues and won't respond to my touch. The only way to get it to work is to put it to sleep then wake it back up. I can't even press the on screen "power off" button to turn the thing off because the screen simply doesn't respond. Anyone have any idea why this may have happened or how to fix it? It's very frustrating because it happens almost every time I try to use the browser or the market and makes those features pretty much useless.
[Nook Color Android Development] Masterface7:
Hi, is the newer market 2.2.6 included with the auto nooter process yet?
[Nook Color Android Development] Dusko75:
Thanks man, but no, I did register my nook, I followed the instructions very carefully, and updated to v1.0.1 before rooting...

I just re-rooted it and it's fine, now I have to install all my programs again and configure them :/ ... hope I don't get the same error again...

Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it.
[Nook Color Android Development] spyz88:
Can you still use it as a regular e-reader with all the stock features if you root and apply a custom kernel? Or does it completely replace it and you ONLY run eclair 2.1 like on a phone?

[Nook Color Android Development] Karine:
I can't speak to other rooting approaches, but the auto-nooter approach discussed in this forum does leave the original BN features in-tact and functional.
[Nook Color Android Development] pROvIs:
I am having some problems with the autonooter process and have spent hours trying to get this working to no avail. I have checked many threads and many posts/searches but can't seem to find resolution to my problem.

I purchased the Nook Color last night. It came with 1.0 software on it. I registered it and updated it to 1.0.1. I flashed autonooter to 3 different SD cards (one class 1 (1 gb), and two class 2 (4gb, 16gb). I turned the nook off, insert one of the cards, plug into my pc via usb, my pc detects various devices etc, I wait and wait and wait and the nook never reboots. I disconnect and reboot manually and I still have stock software. All I can see in my device manager after a few minutes related to the nook when nooter is supposidly running is a generic RNDIS network device.

I've tried different different flashing tools on my pc, different SD cards, I installed the SDK, manually installed drivers for the nook to setup as an "android phone" for adb, Factory resets, 8 reboots, etc., etc. I can't figure out what is wrong.

Nookie Froyo boots without a problem. Any ideas? Help would be much appreciated and I apologize if I overlooked something. My guess at this point is a driver issue on my PC. Does the nook require any software/config on the PC? I'm running win7 x64 enterprise. At first I thought no communication between PC was needed for this to work but maybe I'm wrong?

Win32diskimager

I downloaded the files recommended in post 1 as per the instructions. I unzipped the Win32diskimager and ran it to write the auto-nooter file to it. I got an error #8. Any ideas as to the problem?

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] pROvIs:
Try removing and reinserting the SD card without opening it in explorer. If an auto popup comes up just close it. Make sure you hear the sound for hardware remove and then the sound for add. Reopen win32diskimager and try again. That would always work for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] carheir:
I figured it out. Since I'm not familiar with Win32, I didn't realize it would find the file. Anyway, got it done. Many thanks for the quick reply.

POVLS,

How long did you wait? I waited over 5 minutes until I saw it reboot.

Hope this helps...
[Nook Color Android Development] pROvIs:
I've waited up to about half an hour. I don't think it's a time thing.
[Nook Color Android Development] pROvIs:
I guess this does rely on something on the individual PC. I tried this on another PC and a minute later the nook was rebooting and came up rooted. It might be because I have various RNDIS drivers installed as this PC didn't have any of the required drivers installed.

This is covered on the NookDevs wiki and in a pinned post in the general forum here. Not all the built-in live wallpapers work on stock. If you see that message, generally it means it's not going to work. I've had very good success with live wallpapers downloaded from the market.

If you're applying a custom kernel that you're pretty much wiping the device and the B/N features won't be there anymore (unless the kernel builder extracted them and added them into his kernel)

[Nook Color Android Development] UnstoppableDrew:
I will admit to not having read all 118 pages of this thread, so apologies if this has been covered already.

It appears you can use this verison with 1.0.0. My wife got an NC, it came with 1.0.0. I updated it to 1.0.1, then used the auto-nooter 2.12.25 following the instructions over at nookdevs. It had some issues, which I believe were caused by me removing the sdcard with the device on while I was messing around with it post rooting. So I used adb to set the failed boot count to 8 & triggered the reinstall, & wiped the data. It never occurred to me to look at the SW version, and I just reused the same SD card with 2.12.25 to root it again. This time I powered down & removed the card, and all has worked well since. Just a little while ago though I noticed my SW version is reporting 1.0.0, I guess the reflash overwrote the update. However I've been chugging along happily with no issues as far as I can tell. I'm kind of curious to see if I'll be able to run the 1.0.1 update again or if I need to wipe it clean & start over again.
[Nook Color Android Development] kfanciu:
Guys, I had this same issue with my Autonootered NC. I was able to get them working by reinstalling the LiveWallpapers.apk. It is in /system/apps. Using Root Explorer (or Astro, etc) go to that dir and install the file again. Reboot. If it still doesn't work, I think you have to set the permissions of this file (I used Root Explorer).

The official instructions on doing this are in this thread -- this is how I figured out how to do it:

Reboot 8 times...

If you just continue to hold the power button through the boot, through the screen that shows the n logo, it will shut down. That is the easiest way to perform this type of reset.

NOTE: Make sure you deregister / erase the device before the factory reset, otherwise you stuff will still exist on the nook...

To perform a Factory Reset (Erase the /system and load stock)

1) make sure the nook is off.

2) press and HOLD the power button -- you will see:

* power of reading screen

* n logo screen

* the nook should power off.

3) release the power button.

4) repeat 7 more times.

5) boot again, you should now see the nook enter 'factory reset' mode.

6) celebrate - you have just performed a proper factory reset.

Difference with Nook AutoNook_0.8 Config script.

The AutoNook_0.8 Config script requests that you follow these steps:

At the end of the AutoNook script, and nook rebooted. The instructions from that script are:

(These first few steps are the same as the instructions from AutoNooter)

1) unlock the nook.

2) press the Android.

3) skip registration (2 skips i think)

4) enable location services.

5) launch youtube.

6) log in to your channel using a xxx@gmail.com address.

--Here is where the instructions diverge:

7) press the home button.

8) power off the nook.

9) Power on the nook, the market and gmail should work.

I was unsuccessful with the AutoNooter process. Market wouldn't work, same error as everyone else.

I then ran the AutoNook_0.8, followed the above instructions, and had the market.

Too bad its the older marker!

for reference, here are the instructions from the script:

* Set applications permissions to 644
* reboot
**********************************
* DONE!!!
*
* Unplug the NC and Press the Home button on your device.
* If you get the Google Setup Wizard, tap the robot, proceed,
* but skip the sign in.
*
* DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SIGN IN TO THE WIZARD - when it offers press SKIP
*
* Log in with your Gmail account
*
* !!! You must log into YouTube with an account of the form xxx@gmail.com !!!
*
* Then, press the Home button. Then Power Off. Then Power On.
*
* Gmail and the Android Market should work.
*
***********************************

I am about to reset my nook, back to factory, and try AutoNooter again, but adding that last power-off/power-on before I even attempt to open gmail or the market.

I will post again once I have attempted this.

[Nook Color Android Development] gojeda:
Thanks for the good work being done here. I managed to get everything working correctly, but there are a couple of little issues\questions.

1. Google Market is indeed the newer version, however there are screen corruption issues. (See thumbnails below). Note the location of the ratings (stars) and the install and opeon button. Things are getting chopped off...etc.

I didnt see that in the old market (though I do not see the scrolling issue found in the old market version).

2. In step 11 of the instructions, to enable location services, should this result in your position being determined in Google Maps using a wifi fix? On my Nook, when I click on the My Location button, I get the message, "Please enable My Location source in system settings." Of course, there is no such setting under system settings

I would love to enable wifi-location on maps, is this possible?

Thanks,

Still getting a 401 error when signing into YouTube, but it does authenticate. I am able to sync mail, but the Market is not working. I get the TOS, accept it and then it returns errors.

I wiped the system back to stock before following the directions 98%. I'm using the same email for my Nook's login that I use on my Galaxy S phone. Works on the phone with no issue, but seems to have issues on the Nook. Not the same address that I used for my BN account. Reason I'm wanting to use the one I have on my phone is that's where I have calendar information as well as all my contacts.

Is there anyone out there other than me who is using a "Non GMail" account like this? I have my own domain that is Google App hosted. It has worked since day 1 on my G1 and on my Galaxy S, but I'm thinking that may be the issue with the Nook since it's not a "true" GMail acct....
[Nook Color Android Development] gpf2ez:
Thank you very much guys!

I ran through the directions last night and it is working but I did notice a few things. I did read this whole thread before posting this ;)

1. I did get the same Market error as others but I kept clicking through the error and it started working for me after a few tries.

2 I am not sure what happened but my built in web browser does not work. It loads fine and I can type in an address but it never tries to load a page. Current work around was to install Dolphin browser and set it to default(this is working great).

3. I am also seeing some apps get cut off. Market at the top and some other minor ones. Most of these are not an issue except for Skype. When it loads for the first time I think there is an option at the bottom that I can not select and therefore can not get past the main page.( I use Skype for IM only).

4. Google Talk app will try to launch then crashes back to the launcher. No error message. I thought I saw a fix for this one but I can not find it now.

Again thank you to everyone who made this possible. Because of you guys I bought my NC yesterday and my wife is buying one today.
