This is looking promising! I'm excited that it may be a possibility on CM7 soon!

If I can help test or anything, let me know.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rgreenpc:
I am new - what are the main differences between the stock Nook app and the one in the android marketplace?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jhendrickson:
The ability to read kids nookbooks, and magazines.

I also prefer the stock store and library but I love modded roms.

RE:

Keep up the good work!!! I'm surprised there hasn't been more intrest in this. I love the stock app, (I did flash with phiremod, but kept several stock backups). The market version isn't no where as good.

I currently am schlepping around with the market version to make due, but the stock app would rule!!!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] shaxs:

I like the way the nook app handles books, but like the way the stock app handles everything else. Including kid books.

Tried out the market B&N app a few days ago on nookie froyo. I immediately disliked reading with it. So I'm really hoping this gets working soon.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hittingsmoke:
Throwing in my support for getting this going.

Right now I'm using the Kindle app on my Honeycomb Nook because it supports most magazines and sepia backgrounds for easier reading.

Once you get things moving along more, if you need someone to test on Honeycomb I'd be glad to help.

I just don't like the Market Nook app. If this was working I'm sure I would start buying from the B&N store instead of Amazon.

bump for this, would love to get this working on nookie or cm7, having it eventually work on hc would be amazing
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] deadbot1:
Here's a question for ya.

When I installed Nookie Froyo, my books stayed in the internal memory. The nook app couldn't see them there, they had to go on the SD card. Will this be able to see those files on internal, just like stock?

Sent from rooted NookColor using XDA Premium.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rfullwood:
Thanks a ton for working on this. The apps don't come close to the stock software and that is what's keeping me from moving past 2.1 right now. I read every night and love the e-reader software, but would love to go to CM7 or Honeycomb as well..

This definitely needs more support.

THANKS!!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jrm83mrj:
adding my thanks...

Just wanted to add my thanks to the pile! I bought my nc specifically to root and run roms, but Im a bit of a book worm, and I have to admit that I fell so in love with the stock reader app that when I learned I couldn't use it with nookie froyo I immediately went back to root only and I refuse to put anything else on here until this works.... yeah probably HC too even though I doubt Ill be able to resist tinkering with it. Knowing that someone is working on it so diligently is a huge comfort, so I thank you. Even if some unforseeable problem arises and its impossible, a+ for the effort and at least trying to accomplish it. Me and my 1200+ ebooks salute you.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JoshMiers:
Work has been busy so I haven't had much time to fix the content issue. I tried hacking up my own MediaServer2.apk based off of the NC's original MediaServer.apk file but that didn't work.

Also, I am not sure how the DRM is going to work due to the framework.jar files having so many differences.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] miata492:
I would love to see this happen also and I wish I could be of more help! I have my NC running CM7 nightlies but I keep my wife's NC running rooted stock so we can do the kids books - it makes no sense why BN does this to us! I am going to start experimenting with this but not too sure how much I can add at this point as I am just getting started with Android hacking.

And the in-line dictionary. Long press a word, select 'look up', end you get a pop up with the definition without having to open another app. Very convenient.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BugsBunny891:
Do you guys realize that if the stock reading and lilbrary apps can be extracted there would be no point to buy a nook color from a consumer's point of view? Hell i'd just pay an extra $100 and get a galaxy tab and use it like i would a nook with all its reading apps working. This project may seem innocent but it has the potential to really hurt nook color sales.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Nburnes:
Most consumers aren't people that show up here though. They buy an e-reader to simply read. From their standpoint they don't care.

From a "hackers" view, I'm pretty sure it would help sales. I much prefer the stock reader and library, but I love having CM7. If I could get both of them, I would literally have the "perfect" tablet for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
...if you want to read on a crappy screen.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ylixir:
I'm thinking all the people on here that get annoyed with the market nook app and switch to kindle would hurt B&N more than somebody buying a bunch of nook books from a galaxy tab would.

Since they are charging a fraction of the price for similarly spec'd hardware, they can't possibly be making much money on the device, they are banking on content sales.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
You are absolutely right. B&N does slightly better than breaking even with the hardware. Book sales are where they make their money.

I think getting this working on more devices could potentially sell more books. Maybe people that haven't been impressed with the market app would give the nook another shot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
I see alot of people discussing the actual cost of manufacturing the nook color. And how B&N isn't making much off the top. My brother works and Best Buy and he gets things at cost from manufacturer. He purchased one for myself and my sister for $100 each. Considering that retail is $250. To me, they have to just be breaking even on the device somehow. IMHO they are banking on people buying their books. So the device itself is more of an incentive to get people to purchase from them. But, I do think that their market app is lacking compared to the actual Nook Color library app. If they released one that can support magazines, read to me books (I think this is a big plus) and has all the features that the Nook Color has. Why not? They'll be making money if it's supported on not just the Nook Color. Imagine the millions of other people who are using other devices.

Just my 2 cents. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] chandlerw88:
I just don't see how the marketplace app doesn't support magazine subscriptions... that seems easy
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Wow! That's a screaming deal!!!

Here's a little tidbit I pulled from android central

After a recent teardown of the Nook Color, it was estimated that the total cost of the parts of each NC add up to somewhere around $200. While a $50 profit is better than a loss, it probably isn't considered worthwhile for a massive book chain trying to compete with amazon.com and Borders. So they're obviously counting on the sale of digital content from within the Nook Color to make their real profits.

If android central is right, you got your nook for less than what it costs to make!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Wow, that's crazy for Best Buy to sell it to employees for under cost?! But hey who am I to complain. I didn't even know what a Nook Color(or any android platform for that matter) was when I walked into best buy that day. Saw it on display and I was blown away. Asked my brother to check his discount, and he said he can get it for $100. And I said here's my money! Lucky me I guess. Hey try and be-friend a BEST BUY employee and I'm sure you could snag one yourself for that price as well!! :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] therealguppy:
Best buys Employee discount is 10% above cost. There is no way best buy would take a hit on something just so they can sell it to someone that works there, It quite obvious, that either best buy got a really good deal to buy the nook from B&N for resale. or more likely the Nook cost under 100$ to produce, this is not really that hard to believe since the tear down priced parts at 200$, add in the bulk factor and I can easily see the nook costing very little to make. I would not be surprised if B&N made 50% profit on each one sold. but then that is still not that much in the long run, content is the real money maker.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] th3fallen:
Kinda getting off topic here lol, any updates for this my wife is dieing for this to get released.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
Well then go ahead and mod the B&N market app for us, we are all waiting! Lol..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
BN should really add this cause alot of people have ipads and to a lesser extent xooms and galaxy tabs it would be in alot of money they could be making.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
yes and no, B&N could put a cease and dissect against their software running on unlicensed products. We bought the nook color so we can use it get it.

They should just update the market app to have full access, or someone like amazon could step in with a kindle color and give us magazine and newspapers through their app. That would defiantly hurt nook color sales
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
Agreed.

It is almost as if B&N was blindsided by our use of their hardware and they have this thing spinning out of control and they are undecided on weather to embrace it or not, so they keep periodicals and childrens books hostage until they figure out the best way to make money and not hurt PR.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Come over to my house, I could use some fertilizer for my garden.

B&N simply is not going to release a standalone app which does their Childrens Books and Magazines because it's an exclusive feature for their Nook Color. Why would someone buy it if they can just use the app on their existing tablet?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mooja:
not true, nook for ipad has the same features
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
What? Are you serious? Magazines and read to me for Nook for ipad
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
lol, when I preface a statement with "its almost as" I am referring to garden fertilizer.

To answer the last question, the answer would be to sell more books, magazines and newspapers, which is what B&N does. The same reason they give the Nook app for free. But I am speaking purely hypotheticaly based on observations. I really have know idea of what they think and what direction they are headed, other then the safe guess that they are watching their bottom line. :)

Thanks JoshMiers for all your work, will you or someone else continuing on these project - these nook stock reader is imho a much better e-reader application then other available on the marketplace, at least for epub files ;)

I have gotten the Nook Froyo home launcher to install on CM7, strangely enough. However I cannot get it to show up as a choice as a launcher. The reader apk will not install, that's why I tried the launcher.. I'm shooting at stars here, but I had to try. lol
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wgarrido:
Maybe clear defaults, or download Home Switcher from the market and see if you can switch it there?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
Yup tried all that.. I was surprised the launcher did not fail like all the other .apk's did. The reader would not install after the luancher either.. Probally multiple file dependences and Android version issues. This is a long shot, but fun to try...

My thread might be of some interest for you.. just a suggestion. :)

Copy Nook Stock to SDcard

-Racks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
I wouldn't say it's dead, but it's such a big hack to stock CM7 that unless the CM team is willing to incorporate the necessary changes to their official builds, it will always be on the fringe of the NC dev community and only receive minimal and sporadic support.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wgarrido:
I think running CM7 from the SD card is great. I have been running it for over a month and haven't had any problems. Actually I don't even boot into stock. I the more recent version that is geared for tablets and has the task bar on the bottom with the soft keys built in.

I am not sure where you are looking but there is a official build for the Nook. Its a officially supported device from the CM team. I can download the release straight from their site. All I do it is use the dual uboot.bin and darlington's kernel. Problem solved. Dual boot is the best solution and I might even out the stock OS back to stock.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
I think you misunderstood. In order to get the stock B&N apps to work in NF or cm7, major changes have to be made to those rom's. As of yet, the devs over at CM haven't seen a need and/or had the resources to include those changes as part of the official CM7 dev cycle. It has nothing to do with whether or not encore is officially supported.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wgarrido:
I guess I did. Yeah I think B&N made a mess with there changes. I think also there might be legal problems with hacking their software to work. Now that Froyo is released probably easier to root stock with market. If they ever release GB then would be the same thing.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] darien87:
Too bad this is dead.

I really like running CM 7, but the Nook app kinda blows compared to the stock Nook reader.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hololight:
Since I didn't see this mentioned, figured it might help someone with more time than I have; shared libraries...

That was the fail I kept getting when I played with getting the library and reader working in froyo. Bn included some custom shared libs into their build of android... I seem to recall they struck me as drm related...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
Well, B&N just updated the market app to include Magazine support. Looks identical to the stock magazine reader. So...a little less incentive for this unless you want read to me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
Yup, Same here.

I was pleasantly surprised. It was kind of nice for B&N to see the benefits of more app functions. ..but now I have to share my beloved Nook with my wife. ut oh.. :)

A new approach?

Does chroot work on the NC? I don't know why it wouldn't...

In any case, how about using chroot to set up a stock environment within a rooted or CM7 NC? Networking oughta "just work" (depending on how deep you want to go), but access to the screen might work easily, depending on the Android architecture.

Or is this completely dead now?

Im wondering if anyone has found an alternate to sketchbook mobile. I love the app and all, but when i use it on my rooted nc... it force closes a lot and activates the color picker at just a slight touch instead of needing to long press. To the point now that those two issues plus the laggy interface and outrageous battery drain have got me hating it

Has anyone found anything comparable? Paid or not.
