You need to clear Youtube cache using this method: http://nookdevs.com/Use_Titanium_Backup_to_Clear_YouTube_Data

Not sure why your market fails to download, but make sure that it's been enabled as shown here: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting

Once you've gotten the market issues resolved, do the upgrade here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...rket-fix-lack-apps-showing-portrait-mode.html This version resolves the problem of all apps not showing up in portrait mode. Good luck. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
The market issue has apparently resolved itself, but now I'm noticing that the apps I have downloaded aren't showing up in the "Extras" window. The apps are still downloaded, and I can still open them, but I can only access them from the "downloads" window within Market.

UPDATE: So I went ahead and used Root Explorer to update my Market, and the system crashed shortly after I had successfully finished everything. After the restart, all my downloaded apps now proudly display in the Extras window. My NC is now successfully fully rooted.
[Nook Color Android Development] Contra1971:
i did this and liked it, but 3 issues, I noticed it ran slower opening the "extras menu", "setting" and such

aswell as the problem with ADB (I didnt try ADB yet)

I also had the same issue with app I downloaded not showing up in the "extras menu"

but last if I want to update to a new version from B&N I would be stuck right?
[Nook Color Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Ugh...

Everything was working fine. After a couple hours, I went back to my NC, thinking I would download another app from the Market, and to my surprise, Market was missing from my Extras window. All the apps I downloaded were still there, but Market was not. I used Root Explorer to track down the old and new Vending.apk files, and there were still in the same place. I tried reinstalling the new Vending.apk, and it opened fine, and would search apps, but would not allow me to look at individual apps or access my personal apps within Market. The old Market won't install at all. I tried clearing it's cache, and even uninstalling and reinstalling it, but now it just force closes every time I finish agreeing the to terms and conditions.

Any ideas why Market would just up and die like that, and how to get it back?
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
Yeah
[Nook Color Android Development] Contra1971:
I can't get the apps to show up in the "extras" menu when I download them from the market, anyone fix this?
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
Have you restarted since rooting? Try that...they'll be there.
[Nook Color Android Development] runningslow:
Yup. You have to reboot after you install an app for it to show up in "Extras." Or, you can install a 3rd party launcher like Zeam, ADW or Launcher Pro. Then apps will be immediately available from their respective app drawers.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Or you can download Zeam a very nice launcher and use Softkeys to toggle the Zeam launcher and B&N Home
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
I hate softkeys...

isn't there an app that lets you have a permanent back key and menu key at the bottom with some transparency?

I dont want to click on teh softkey arrow then press back or menu keys.
[Nook Color Android Development] The Chris:
Got in on the $200 NC and this util works great on the 1.1.0 that came with it. Kudos! Saw that you need to reboot to get the apps to show up in the Extras, too. Now waiting for a HC+Bluetooth build that's worth it.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
CM7 has permanent Back and Menu buttons on the bar, but the bar is at the top.

You could also remap the volume keys to Back and Menu, which is what I do, and use Volume Widget or something to get onscreen volume buttons.
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
What do you use to remap
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
I use Root Explorer to edit the /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl file. You could do it with ADB if you don't want to pay for Root Explorer, but that app is so useful that anyone hacking around on an Android device should have it.

Either way, you want to change the lines for Key 114 and Key 115 to say BACK and MENU instead of VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN. Be very careful when editing, as any errors or other changes could cause serious problems.

There are also a couple of keymapping apps that are claimed to work on the NC, but I haven't tried them.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
The file is TWL4030_keypad.kl tried the file you mentioned did not make a change.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Oh, yeah, forgot that is different filename in B&N stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] Halabeaster54:
ive rooted evos, galaxy s's, mytouch 4gs, g2s, hd2s and other phones im forgetting i just cant do this. My computer every time i try to install the thing on the f*cking flash card I get an error ive restarted my comp and have done everything! It honestly wont do it and now my nooks stuck at a black screen wtf i thought i was going to love this device I just want honeycomb
[Nook Color Android Development] 10507:
Anyone knows how to increase the internal storage for install application?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
If your looking for Honeycomb your in the wrong thread, There is a set of instruction that will get you back to stock:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690

Follow it and then make sure you use the correct instructions for Honeycomb, part of the confusion, at least for me, is there is so much information to read and follow the instructions seem to get muddied.

Don't give up, it has been said multiple time it is nearly impossible to brick the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] cobronco:
Ok, everything went smooth, but when I try to download and app, it says download unsuccessful right away.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
BTW thank you for that tip, works like a charm...
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
is't working so far. old auto-nooters, the screen would stay blank, and then reboot after it was done. this one just boots like normal, I don't think it's working...
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
This is not an official 3.0.0 this is just a AN 2.x.x that some modified for 1.1 3.x.x will be available as soon as the last of the kinks in the new system are worked out. This is not officially supported by the AN Team or anyone currently working to get 3.x.x released.
[Nook Color Android Development] usernotfound:
Mine stayed blank for quite a while, at least 15 minutes (i made some spaghetti and ate it. Decided to pull the SD and rebooted it. Everything came up as expected, except no youtube app installed...perhaps i didn't wait long enough...
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
mine just booted as normal...even though I could see the boot partitions when I put it in the card reader
[Nook Color Android Development] focus242:
any idea when 3.0.0 will be released? Thanks for your hard work.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
As soon as we take care of the last issue it'll be posted up.
[Nook Color Android Development] usernotfound:
Yup, didn't wait long enough. I was able to just reboot from the SD card and it ran the rest of the installs fine, Youtube, Gmail, market, and market apps are working.

Thanks for the nooter!
[Nook Color Android Development] GMPOWER:
Did you insert the modified SD card before or after you turned the nook off?

I just went through the whole process all over again without any problems. As you can see from my original post under Auto-Nooter 2.12.25, found HERE, others have had success.
[Nook Color Android Development] emonk:
Boot cycle

I followed the instructions but my device has gone into boot cycle. Did I miss anything?
[Nook Color Android Development] honourbound68:
stuck at "n" boot screen

followed instructions but stuck at boot screen. I'll try to wipe and then redo. hope this works.

update.. now stuck at "android" boot up screen for close to an hour. Any know how long this is supposed to take?
[Nook Color Android Development] focus242:
I successfully rooted my NC. I used linux at first and didn't have any errors from my dd, but it never worked. I booted windows, formatted the sd card, then wrote the image with WinDiskImager and it worked the first time.

When you get to the step where you plug the USB cable in and it boots up to root your device, the screen will be blank for a little while, so BE PATIENT! It will reboot and a customized android bootscreen will come up.. that's when you know it has worked and you can unplug your USB cable.

Thanks again! I now have a $250 android tablet!
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
usually I wait until the device is off. Is this correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
My only complaint is none of the roots/images seem to save login and password info in the browser or XDA app.

Is there a setting i'm missing?
[Nook Color Android Development] aho43:
Has anyone tried to install this over the existing prerooted 1.1 update image that uses CWR? I'm probably about 30 minutes from being a guinea pig and doing it myself.

Edit: Works fine on Nook Color running decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 rom. The market is actually more recent on decade3nce's rom. Running Autonooter 3.0 downgrades your market. Multi-touch is still not as responsive as in autonootered 1.0.1. I was also running dual boot Nookie Froyo, which remained untouched.

Don't see any real reason to run this if you are already rooted on 1.1. Still excellent work for everyone who wasn't rooted yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] brockster:
Does the In Store feature work after using Auto-Nooter 3.0.0?
[Nook Color Android Development] jokrak:
I wish I could test that, but the nearest BN, literally a couple of miles away, closed on Jan 1st T_T
[Nook Color Android Development] bobo12:
Appears to be some kind of a problem. I went to wifi settings after using this autonooter (using the stock 1.1, never rooted before) and it popped up something that said, "Security Warning (or maybe it was Error). This system must reset." It then rebooted and came back with a bunch of Apps missing and had deregistered from my B&N account. I've recovered back to 1.0 and am going to wait for the next software update from B&N before rooting.
[Nook Color Android Development] itzankov:
Worked great, but I'm still having trouble with YouTube. Installed the version attached ok, but when I start YouTube it just closes. Any hints?
[Nook Color Android Development] themirthfulswami:
Same thing here. Opened the first time I used it, signed in with my google account no problem. After that YouTube won't open any more. Tried pushing the apk over, still no love.

Another strange thing I noticed is that since upgrading to 1.1 and autonootering the original Angry Birds doesn't show up in the Market anymore. Angry Birds Seasons is there, but not the original. Strange. I restored it from Titanium Backup but it's the 1.4.2 version, not the latest. Can't update it either :(
[Nook Color Android Development] geekaren:
I noticed that as well. Odd.
[Nook Color Android Development] vtmike:
I saw a method on a you tube video of getting back to stock that seems to be easier and quicker than others posted in threads I've seen. The guy used a flashable cwr image and the zip file mentioned in this thread on the same sd card. He was able to boot from the sd card into cwr and access the stock zip file also on the zip card. I may have missed a thread describing this same method or be confused to what exactly he did in the video.

Has anyone tried this?
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
so did modding TWL4030_keypad.kl work for you?

What did you use? Root explorer or adb? If adb, what are the command to mod this file?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Yes that worked , I used Root Explorer...

For those with trouble "starting download" from market

So I've been fighting issues for days trying to figure out why my market wouldn't download. When I first AutoNootered my NC everything was working great. I was able to download anything I wanted from the Market with no issues. The next day I found that nothing would download always got stuck at "starting download" and nothing else. Youtube worked fine, Gmail worked fine. Tried wiping cache and all that, but nothing would work. Eventually I stumbled on a thread where someone said they always had the same problem at work but at home it worked fine. Low and behold I'd only been trying at the office.

So I fired up my evo, turned on wireless tether and now it downloads. For what it's worth my office uses an 802.1x WEP configuration with PEAP and MSCHAPv2 so I had to handcraft a wpa_supplicant.conf and push it to the NC with adb to get on wireless at all.

I'm now playing with CM7 and haven't had the same problem with it. I hope that saves someone some searching time.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Glad to help and thanks for the correction. I tried all the soft key solutions and wasn't happy with any. Remapping the volume keys is the best way to go.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Well, not a good start. Funny thing is, everything was well till "That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff" :D

Simple stuff is not so simple after all. Followed instruction carefully, "rooted"(or did not) my brand new NC 1.1 and... nothing. I mean I'm able to turn it on, but after android logo and unlocking the screen I'm at usual NC home screen, except little back arrow on the right side. Which does almost nothing-by clicking that arrow i get a few soft keys and by clicking them i get nothing or "unable to execute as root".

Needless to say, advice would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Yeah I had the same issue, you have to go run SoftKeys so that it can prompt for root and you can allow it.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
how can I make them "run"?
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Go to extras and run softkeys from there. If it doesn't prompt click the tools icon on the bottom.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Everything seems to be working (gmail, ytube, market) but the proper usage of these softkeys still puzzles me.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Do you still get the root error?
[Nook Color Android Development] tmason68:
Wait...I think this might be my issue. I was trying to root a NookColor for a friend at work, and I could not get past the download 0% thing in the market. That's what my office uses for WIFI.

My friend's nook had connectivity, it just couldn't download market apps. We only tried it at work.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Sounds like the market could be blocked? I used to have to switch to 3G on my phone to download from the market. Lately its been working though. Not sure if the policy at work changed or the something with the new market.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Sometimes, but I disabled some settings, enabled superuser softkeys profile(whatever that means) and things are working I guess.
[Nook Color Android Development] Halabeaster54:
thanks man i appreciate it but is there anyway i can root this with adb my sd cards are acting up
[Nook Color Android Development] tmason68:
works with my droid x though
[Nook Color Android Development] pman555:
Has there been an "official" autonooter release for 1.1 yet? Or is this just being taken as the official release?

The reason I ask is that my gmail and youtube still dont fully work and I dont understand why. Gmail quits by itself when I tell it to "refresh" and fetch my mail. My new mail never shows up.

Also everytime I try to open a youtube video, the app opens up briefly and then quits by itself.

If there is an official release, I'd love to wipe my device and try that one fresh.
[Nook Color Android Development] tmason68:
Yup, this is my issue too. I was able to download apps when I tethered the NC to my Droid, but not over my work wifi.

THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
Work Wifi

Similar issue here. I am running TransProxy on my EVO and can access the market over wifi with it on. TransProxy didn't work on my Nook, some telephony binaries missing it seems (would make sense). Other apps work, but not market download. I to have to tether to the EVO to get an app. We're running 802.1x EAP. It seems to come down to a proxy issue since it works fine with TransProxy running on the EVO.

I've been runing My IP Widget Pro, which detects the proxy and seems to work. I need to try it on the EVO with wifi and try a market download......
[Nook Color Android Development] jackal424:
The issue I'm having is..when running wifi tether from my phone....the NC doesn't see it. But my friends iphone picks it up.

Anyone have problems NC picking up wifi from phone? It picks up wifi fine from router.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
!!!FIX!!!

I've had this problem on several different Nook versions. On Froyo now, testing Honeycomb. Just tried My IP Widget and it fixed the Market download problem behind the proxy!!! It also worked on my EVO over wifi. There is a free version, you have have to refresh IP /proxy settings each network change. The pay version exchange rate came to .50 cents. It automatically refreshes IP and checks for a proxy on each net change. Just downloaded an app successfully behind my work proxy over wifi using it.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
Did you have the same issue on rooted stock? I didn't think I had this problem, but I am just trying froyo and it just says starting download. We have a transparent proxy. Rooted stock works though.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
OMGoodness!!!!! It works.... so weird! Must have issues with transparent proxy's...
[Nook Color Android Development] darinf:
Most phone hotspots create and "ad hoc" wireless connection as opposed to an "access point" connection like a real router. You have to enable "ad hoc" networks on your Nook:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868354

Worked for me so I can tether to my Sprint Touch Pro 2 running Energy ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] darinf:
I have the same problem with GMail and autonooter. When I try to refresh, the Gmail app just closes and I can never get new e-mail.

If I use Titanium backup to clear the data for GMail, Gmail will download my mail the first time, but the it will never be able to check mail again unless I wipe the data again.

Anyone else found a fix for this problem? Is ther another Gmail apk that will work?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
These softkeys are driving my crazy. Seriously. After I tried couple launchers, I can't configure physical home button properly. Even after adjusting "soft keys" settings to:

"Home Button: Single Tap = Softkeys, Doubletap = (favorite launcher)", every time i press home button(once or twice, no difference), i get pop-up screen that says:

"complete actiot using :

Home

launcherPro

Softkeys"

How do I properly configure home button so it will give me softkeys in apps?

P.S. and I tought that I'm not complete noob anymore. Thanks to NC, i think I still am :D
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
When you get the pop window at the bottom is there a check box to use the selection as default so you won't have to answer that question again.
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
I think I've managed somehow. Thanks.

Update the market.

Clean out the youtube/data/cache and don't use the my channel. It messes up when you use my channel.

Another YouTube question

I've been enjoying my rooted NC for a while now and thought it was time to finally install a working version of YouTube. I know there are several references to the process here but once I started investigating it seems quite complex for a non-developer: install the SDK after the JDK followed by the SDK starter package and other required add-ons. Then learn how it all works and finally figure out the ADB then uninstall the non-working version of YouTube and install the working version using command lines in the development environment.

I think that's it, but I'm wondering if there is a simple way to go about this for the inexperienced non-developer? I suspect the answer is no but thought I would ask in case I'm missing something.

Thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
yes, grab the youtube.apk from the OP. install it

mine works, I installed it then I cleared its data in titanium backup
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
Thanks, I would help you out with dropbox if I weren't already a user. Should I uninstall the non-working version of YouTube before installing youtube.apk?\
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
I grabbed the youtube.apk from the first post here. Downloaded it to my NC but got the following message - "installation of download apks is not supported"
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
move the apk to /system/apps, can give it full permissions in root explorer too, it will then install

don't uninstall old one, it will overwrite
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
Thank you so much. One last question: I should then purchase Root Explorer in the android market and then move the file and give it permissions per your previous post?
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
full permissions I'm not sure is necessary, just habit. you can move the file using adb but root explorer is the only way I know to do it without a computer

to move into the apps folder you will need to switch to r/w. theres a button at top of root explorer to toggle it
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
Not sure if I'm beyond help but I think I followed your steps.

I grabbed the file from the 1st page of this forum youtube.apk (853k), copied it to system/app using root explorer, gave it the same permissions as the other apk files, then rebooted my NC. YouTube is still the same. I start it and it flashes for a second then goes away.

I also checked in "manage applications" and the cache was 0, and I checked it in Titanium backup. I didn't see any cache settings there but there were several options include "integrate update into ROM" which I didn't want to try.
[Nook Color Android Development] NewZJ:
did you install youtube after copying it to apps?

in titanium backup in backup/restore, touch youtube and you will get a red "wipe data" option
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
I did try to install it from inside root explorer but couldn't, got the message "installation of download apks not supported".

Issue resolved. Though I wasn't able to install, I wiped the data in Titanium backup and then youtube started working. Thanks again for all your help and the quick replies.

Note: on reboot I need to wipe data for YouTube to work again. I don't spend a lot of time on YouTube so it's a minor annoyance.

I have a problem th nook doesn't reboot when i plug in my USB
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Make sure it is off before plugging in back in and if you are sure it really is off, just press the power button for 2-3 seconds and it will start.
[Nook Color Android Development] manleyaudio:
Thanks DEV for making this easy. The nootered nook is so worth the money. I did have to run the Youtube.apk update patch to fix my app. That has been the only thing I have noticed so far.
[Nook Color Android Development] kldakat:
What is issue?

So ran the auto-nooter 3.0 just fine. I missed the step to format the SD card after doing it- so I rebooted the device with the SD card still in the device, and now I can't get past the N screen. Should I keep waiting? Or do I need to get back to stock and start over again? I did try removing the SD card and rebooting and it still is stuck on the N screen.
