[Desire HD Accessories] mhardyman:
I ordered one from that company. They did not advise me that they were out of stock untill they had my money.

I am still waiting six weeks later. I will not be using them again and would reccomend others going to a more reliable vendor.
[Desire HD Accessories] Drew442:
I just purchased one from the distributor listed on the manufacturers website.

Free shipping world wide and only $49.90 USD.
[Desire HD Accessories] Paulplex:
I've had the same problem with MobileFun; ordered a Desire HD case with kickstand - knowing it was out of stock for "1 to 2 weeks" - six weeks later, their website still states the same and no item. I cancelled the order and bought from Expansys with no delay and £5 cheaper too...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesuscakes:
I have a lot of apps stored on my sd card via app2sd. If I rip the currently installed card to a folder then copy the files to the root of the new card and plug it in will it work without problem, or will I lose all of my app2sd apps? Thanks for clarifying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
Are you using froyo native Apps2sd or EXT3?

I guess it doesn't really matter. However, I only have experience with EXT3 (darktremor) and moving to another SD card worked fine for me. I copied the ext3 partition over to the new card (after partitioning it of course) and it worked fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesuscakes:
I am using the app2sd that stores all of the apps in a file rather than a second partition because I heard partitioning sdhc cards can lead to unforeseen consequences.

*** [07/08/2011] Free version FIX! *** There WAS an issue with this app not working for putting he NOOKcolor to sleep in the latest CM7 nightlies, including CM7.1RC, and BN 1.2. I have just released a new FREE and DONATE version with a configuration option to fix this! Sorry for the delay!

DONATE version with transparency, custom color, sizes, icon style, and reboot/poweroff/ask options on press:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.otis8.nookpowerfull

LITE (free) version with no options, sleep button only:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.otis8.nookpower

Update, v0.4.2 (DONATE version)

* Added configuration option (when placing the widget) to fix the sleep issue not working in newer builds of CM7 and (hopefully) BN 1.2.

Update, v0.2.1 (FREE version)

* Added configuration option (when placing the widget) to fix the sleep issue not working in newer builds of CM7 and (hopefully) BN 1.2.

Update, v0.4.1 (DONATE version)

* Attemped bug fix for an annoyingly spurious force close issue

v0.4.0 (DONATE version)

* Added four icon size options

* Now choose from three icon styles

* New icon preview area during configuration

v0.3.1 (DONATE version):

* Fixed possible issues with power off sleeping instead.

* Removed need to wait for power off dialog confirmation. When you press "Power Off," you mean it!

* Important! "Power Off" is now immediate on widget or dialog choice press, similar to reboot! No longer does it wait for the standard Android power off dialog!

v0.3.0 (DONATE version):

* Added full custom color options

* Added reboot and poweroff on press options

* Added option to ask what to do in a dialog popup when pressed

* Added ability for multiple widgets with different color, transparency, and action when pressed

* Now requests root access when configuring the widget

Description, from the Android market:

*** FOR ROOTED NOOKcolor USERS ONLY! ***

NOOKcolor Power Button is a home screen widget that (guess what) is the SAME THING as pressing your power button. So it puts your device to sleep/reboot/poweroff, without reaching for the hardware power button.

This is not just an app that blanks the screen, which is why it requires root. It actually emulates a real press of the power button on your device.

Seriously...it doesn't work at all if you don't have adequate root access to your device. Root access is required for real power button emulation if you are running Eclair (Android 2.1) on your NOOKcolor. It also works with Froyo (and Honeycomb?) as well.

Please contact the developer (me, the OP) with any issues!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jerrygon:
very nice... just installed via market and its running nice.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Good deal, thanks for the feedback! I made it as a side project for something else...but I am finding it useful on my Nook as well. I'm not a huge fan of the hardware power button.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tunwear:
Been wanting something like this. Running fine. Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lucifurious:
do you mind sharing the CODE? I've been trying to figre oit how to make a toggle widget and just can't seem to get it to work. Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
What kind of toggle? This is a one-shot widget, not really a toggle of sorts...

I ran into some interesting issues at first with another app of mine that has a widget that toggles -- Softlocker (the donate version has a widget). PM me with specific details of what you want help with, so we don't clutter this thread.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] k8108:
Thanks! I've been wanting something like this.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zstick:
Could someone explain to me what the draw is? I don't own a NC yet, but I'm interested in what makes this an attractive app. I'm genuinely interested, but I can't find a way to type my question without it sounding sarcastic.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
It's ok, I understand. I'm the developer of the app, and it was just a little side project I came across while working on something else.

Anyway, the draw of this app is simply that I don't like always having to press the physical power button to put my NOOKcolor to sleep, it isn't the most amazing placement or feel to it, and I can make apps, so I did. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
And somebody 1-starred it already, without leaving a comment as to WHY or what they thought was wrong...awesome. :( That is so lame and unhelpful. The app is dead simple -- if you have true root access, and a NOOKcolor, it should work without fail.

Can any of you who may have downloaded it please give it a rating in the Market?

MAN that chaps my hide...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lifeisfun:
Any way to change the color of the button ?

Thanks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Sure, if I make a new one. What do you want? I suppose I could pretty easily make an option that is dark instead of light, if that is what you are going for.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Great app, i use something similar on my N1 to save the power button.

Suggestion: besides color options would it be possible to have the option to set the transparency?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Possible, yes. I believe I have opened a can of worms, haven't I!

Would it be worth a cheap "donate" version of the app to have a couple of color options and the ability to set transparency? I might do it for free as well, though. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] docfreed:
By all means - I believe devs should get paid for their contributions!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
I like the way you think! I will work on that. (after my day job, of course)

I appreciate the feedback!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tj!2k7:
Thanks for sharing your work; it gracefully puts the screen to sleep, unlike the power button, which flashes brightly before shutting the screen off (dunno if others have this issue as well). Thanks again!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
You're welcome!

I'm not sure if I have noticed the flash you are talking about on my NOOK, though. Interesting.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Works great.. a 50 cent option to adjust colors, size, icon and transparency would be a nice addition..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] chemical1der:
i just downloaded your app and it works great. you should definitely post a donate version on the market. color setting + transparency are easily worth a buck or two.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Unfortunately, the Market requires a $0.99 USD minimum. I tried to make an app $0.49 just yesterday and it wouldn't let me...

[ Sent from my Cr-48 :) ]
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Yup it looks like you did open a can of worms!

A donate version with additional options would be great!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
well a buck it is :-)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lifeisfun:
Yup, dark and light color option would be nice :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] natoe33:
This came built-in on mine. I just hit the button and it goes to sleep.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] baldwyn:
I didn't think I'd need this or even use it but I was curious as to how well it worked and now I love it. Great job!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tunwear:
The N1 is the main reason I like this. After the N1 broken power button fiasco, I'm afraid of hardware buttons. :p
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zstick:
Ok, this I totally get. Kudos and Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Ok, transparency and dark/light color scheme options are coming soon.

I will keep you all posted!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Sounds great thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Donate version is in the market now, transparency and black or white color scheme options available:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gedster314:
How about doing an animation when powering off? I love how CM7 on my Evo turns off. It's like and ancient TV where the image goes to a horizontal line across the screen, then the line shortens toward the middle and the screen quickly fades out.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
That would be cool, yes. I wonder how CM7 does that, it would probably take more than an app to make that happen. Isn't CM7 Gingerbread? I believe that is built in to Gingerbread...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] GabbleRatchet:
Took the donate option. I wish more of the developers helping us out would offer the same. Thanks for your time!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Awesome, thank you! I'm still thinking about making more color options than just black and white...

(oh, and make sure you get the latest version, just updated it to 0.2.1 to fix a small bug)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Thanks for the options in the donate version!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Not a problem, thanks for the suggestions. Let me know if you I can add more...or maybe what specific colors people might like?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
I would say additional icons could be another option to add. Different choices would compliment the various types of themes that people use.. This might help to universalize the app to more tablet folk.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
More icon styles in addition to colors, agreed.

I will also probably include configurable icon sizes in a future update.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] phirephotog:
Thanks for this! I was using a bw widget fir that but this looks much nicer. Im also using the reboot widget, but it doesn't look as cool either.

sent from my nootered nook color
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
That's good to know about the reboot widget...also a possible addition for a future update. Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] phirephotog:
Ok, and what is "True" root. I have root access on everything else, but this just blacks out the screen and doesn't power down. Hope it's not a 'tard question.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
No, you're fine. :)

In the description, notice it says:

"NOOKcolor Power Button is a home screen widget that ... is the SAME THING as pressing your power button. So it puts your device to sleep, without reaching for the hardware power button."

It does not power off the device, it puts it to sleep, not just a blank screen.

Then goes on to say:

"This is not just an app that blanks the screen, which is why it requires root. It actually emulates a real press of the power button on your device."

...because it tricks the system (kernel) into thinking you pressed (and released) the physical power button, unlike other fakey "screen lock" apps that do not actually put the device to sleep, but just simply blank the LCD/backlight and disable the touchscreen. My app actually puts the device to sleep, but does not power it off completely.

Does that make sense?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] phirephotog:
Ah. I should read more carefully. I've attached a screen shot of my homescreen before this widget. Reboot on bottom right power button bottom left.

sent from my nootered nook color
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
So I assume you are saying you wouldn't mind seeing additional widget options of the same style as mine that could reboot or fully power off the Nook, instead of just sleep, correct?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dls1234:
I have your sleep button, and would love one that completely powers off NC
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Cool, thanks for the feedback, consider it in the works. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] docfreed:
Check Out QuickBoot..

free in the market - has Power Off, Reboot, etc.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] phirephotog:
Yes you assume correctly.

sent from my nootered nook color
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Besides icon sizes, how about a custom color option (color wheel) when you can choose the color of the icon, rather than having a set number of colors to choose from?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mtm88001:
Power off my droid

Hey, I like the widget... Hate having to press the power button. Holding the Nook in my left hand while reaching with my right..

Worth a buck, so I got the donated version, thanks.

Screen shot

Any chance for a widget to maybe give a popup to choose reboot, or power down
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Awesome, thanks for the donation!

To answer your question, yes, I plan to put configuration options in for shutdown, sleep, or reboot widgets as well, so they can match, since that has been requested quite a bit.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
I have thought about that as well...less icons to make that way, too. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] soonereng:
Will this work on Nook running Honeycomb from SD?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
It should, but I haven't been able trouble give it a try myself. Could you let me know if the LITE version works with it (assuming you are running HC)?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kekspernikai:
It won't work because Honeycomb isn't rooted.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Ah yes, no root would stop it from working.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] soonereng:
Well, HC can now be rooted so it should work then I'm assuming. I will give it a try.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Just letting you guys know that I've got some updates coming real soon. Custom color selection via color wheel is done. More in the works.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rcsrich:
Hey all- just installed the power button lite app and it is not showing up on the home screen. I'm running 1.0.1 autonootered and know I have root access- is it because I'm still using the stock B&N home screen? Nook Tools shows the app as running- any thoughts?

Sent using XDA App
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Yes, you have to use a non-stock launcher that allows you to add widgets to the home screen, since this app is a widget only.

I use LauncherPro, but a lot of people seem to also use Zeam or ADW.Launcher.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rcsrich:
Ah- thanks mrschmitz- guess I'll have to decide if I want to lose the stock homescreen (actually kinda like it, oddly enough). :)

Just published a pretty huge(ish) update to the donate version of the app, here's the changelog:

v0.3.0 -- BIG UPDATE!

* Added full custom color options

* Added reboot and poweroff on press options

* Added option to ask what to do (sleep/reboot/poweroff) in a dialog popup when pressed

* Added ability for multiple widgets with different color, transparency, and action when pressed

* Now requests root access when configuring the widget

Thanks for all your suggestions! And, yes, size options and more icon style choices are still pending, I just had to call it quits for the day and pay a little attention to my family. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Great update! Thanks!

One more suggestion ;) transparency slider on the color wheel...maybe?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Hey, anything is possible. Well, within reason. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
FYI, my app works great on Froyo, and should on HC as well. I just updated to Froyo to test it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] burbank:
Sweet! Thanks for making this. Downloading now. Will give it an appropriate rating ASAP.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Invisman:
Nice app. Using the lite version for now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Thanks! Hopefully I will have some time this week to push some updates for both versions.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Uberspork:
Cool app. Looking good.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Another update in the market, here is the change log:

v0.3.1

* Fixed possible issues with power off sleeping instead.

* Removed need to wait for power off dialog confirmation. When you press "Power Off," you mean it!

* Important! "Power Off" is now immediate on widget or dialog choice press, similar to reboot! No longer does it wait for the standard Android power off dialog!

Donate version update to 0.4.0, now in market:

* Added four icon size options

* Now choose from three icon styles

* New icon preview area during configuration
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
FYI -- I just made a quick update to (hopefully) fix an annoying spurious force close issue I have noticed from time to time.

Please let me know if anyone sees this issue after the update to v0.4.1!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mentalic:
Thanks a lot for this app !!

My power button has started to malfunction. I was wanting something like this instead of touching my super sensitive power button.

One more thing, does the lite or the donate version, have a restart option?

Edit: Never mind..Saw your first post..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sangahm:
I don't see mention of this app on your website so was wondering if it is compatible with the BN 1.2 update?

I downloaded for the first time today and it wouldn't load until I removed my SD card. Now it shows in the Market as installed but will not Open. And it doesn't show up in my list of apps with Zeam.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
I'm not sure if it works with the update or not, but it should. It isn't an app that you select from your launcher, you add it to the home screen as a widget. It will show up in your list of available widgets.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sangahm:
Alright, I overlooked that. Got it installed now under Zeam on the first page.

When I press it, a message comes up about being granted superuser permission. After that, and press of the button does nothing.

What am I doing wrong now?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ficklecycler:
Is it possible to add another really small feature to the app? I've enjoyed using the donate version as part of my home themes, but I wish the sizes were more variable. Would you add the ability to make the button larger than it can go now?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Xhorder:
Has anyone gotten this to work with CM7?

I installed the Lite version and it doesn't seem to work...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ficklecycler:
Paid version works totally fine with CM7...just sayin.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tigersgt:
lite version works well on CM7 also
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
Hmmm... I doubt you're doing anything wrong, but I wonder if they changed something in the 1.2 update that breaks it. Are you comfortable with the command line and ADB? Maybe we can debug it.

Also -- has anyone else used it successfully with the BN 1.2 update? I switched away from stock FW long ago, I'm a CM7 user now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
I've also used it on CM7 just fine. Have you remapped your power button, by chance?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
It is possible, yes. I just have to find the time to do it. I will put it on the list.

Sorry, I've been busy recently...and unfortunately Android programming is only a hobby. :)

Using the paid version with rooted 1.2, and the sleep option does not work. Thanks!

Hi,

I used to use the free version of this awesome widget on PhireMod 6.2 w/o any hitch but when I upgraded to the latest CM7 nightly (with 1.2 boot), the widget just stopped working completely.

That's about it. Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Blue6IX:
Just wanted to say thank you.

The case I have the Nook in makes using the hardware power button difficult, but it has a zipper to keep the dust out...so I fought with it.

After trying several apps that just didn't quite get it right, dealing with less then apealing visuals to get only some of what I was looking for - here it is.

Everything I wanted, nothing I didn't, and executed with a visual and interactive elegance that is very welcomed.

A soft, recognizable image that is semi-transparent sitting in a corner of my desktop. Someone who is not me can use it and intuitively know what pressing that image will do.

So thanks for solving something that was bugging me, in the best way possible.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
FYI everybody -- I finally am able to start working on this again, and have finally updated my NOOKcolor to the CM7.1 RC so I can debug the problem and fix it. I will get on it this week!

So sorry about the delay, I know it can be frustrating. Android dev is my part-time hobby, and I had a new project (a music festival) taking 200% of my time, including family, for the last few months.

Thank you for understanding!
