- nook touch root
Hmm I guess this means i am going to be running by barnes and noble to buy one on the way home from work today. It is really too bad they saw this coming and didn't put 3g in it.
If you (or anyone) do get a NookTouch and root it, I'd be most appreciative if you could share you experience regarding several points:
(1) pdf -- zooming and landscape (NookTouch does not have multitouch; can we at least use the "+/-" zoom buttons in the free acrobat pdf reader? -- assuming that we can sideload apps!)
(2) can we install an alternate launcher? (e.g. zeam)
(3) can we access (google) calendar/contact/gmail?
(4) connectbot? terminal emulator?
(5) kindle/aldiko/etc?
(6) battery life?
Thanks!
all except 6 can be possible, thought 6 is possible but if you are ready to give up performance then you can use setcpu which requires root.

I agree/believe that the first five bullet points I raised are possible; what I'm interested in is the *experience* -- e.g. is it realistic to use a rooted NookTouch to sideload the acrobat reader to read a 20 page science paper in pdf with equations *comfortably* (the latter would likely mean reading in the landscape mode).
As for item #6: this entire thread is about rooted device
My question is whether using the rooted NookTouch to run regular (not flash) apps like acrobat reader/aldido/brower would kill the battery (e-ink uses energy only when it reflashes, but if you have to scroll your pdf file/webpage frequently then this might still be an issue...).
If we can sideload Ammazon Market it should let you download app. I will try it tonight.
Once we have Adb working possibilities are endless.
I should get one, I'm pretty sure one can cook up a modified CM7 for this easily.
I was ready to run out and pick one up, but even if rooted, the screen refresh makes it seem frustrating for web browsing.

Having said that, apps that don't require fast screen updates (words with friends, chess, sudoku) will probably work well.

Hidden Web Browser
Without rooting you can get the Web Browser working

Looks like this is the nook touch developers forum for now.
That's fantastic that it was rooted so quickly.
It sounds like the next step is getting a launcher working. As of now, it seems the only way to run apps is via adb wifi.
It would be nice to keep the original interface and have the option to get to an apps screen via the top bar.
Anyone currently working on this?

The new kobo touch seems to pan very fast in a pdf without flickering. Is the nook touch capable of this? Does the kobo touch have a browser or a way of getting one on there?

I can't get the files to root Nook Touch
I clicked on the links in the NookDevs site to get the two files I needed to root my Nook Touch and I got caught up in some crazy website where it kept wanting me to load their software and not the files I wanted. What's up with that? How exactly do those links work? Is there an easier way to get those files downloaded?

I installed it, however, I cannot get it to launch.
Maybe someone can spot my error. Im trying this in the shell
# am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.amazon.kindle/com.amazon.kcp.application.ReddingApplication
Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.amazon.kindle/com.amazon.kcp.application.ReddingApplication }
Broadcast completed: result=0
Which doesnt do anything. Is there some other magic needed?

It doesn't run off the SD card. You have no room on the SD card because it partitioned it to roughly 80mb for the install. Once it's done and working take it out and format it and you can use your full card.
The search box problem is standard right now. Try to find a market link on the web for specific apps or use the browser and go to Market.Android.com to open the market page. As for wallpapers...I just downloaded a wallpaper app and set it that way. Works fine for me
