Firstly I's like to thank devs for their work.

Secondly, I want to know if somebody encountered a problem with gtalk like I'm having right now.
The problem is that gtalk can't open friend list, contact info etc. All I see after launching Gtalk is a screen flash and nothing more.
At first I thought that gtalk is broken because of some unexpected problems while rooting or installing gapps, but then I noticed that if somebody writes me, I can open gtalk dialog via notification bar and chat normally, which means that gtalk is at least partially functional.

Any Ideas what is the cause of this and how to fix it?

I don't have a definitive answer for you as this appears to be one of those problems that seems to have a different fix for different people based on forum posts for other devices. This happened to me once and what I did was go to ReLaunch apps and long press on market and select uninstall to uninstall the updated Market. I can't remember but I might have rebooted too. This fixed it even later when the Market automatically updated again.

From a lot of reading it also can start working spontaneously again - I guess sometimes its a Google server problem. For some people its a problem with their router and a router reboot fixes it or using a different router. You can also try some things I posted earlier about a server error problem. Unfortunately, Google created problems for older devices when they changed to Market to Play without any clear answer on exactly how to fix them.

I don't use gtalk but it opens fine for me and I can open my empty friends list. I have had gtalk report a network error when opening it. A reboot fixed it. In general I find that when loading and running a bunch of stuff on the NST it slowly runs into memory issues and needs a reboot. Try a reboot and if that doesn't work look at the logcat after opening gtalk when it fails and let us know what it says.

That's helpful in identifying the problem but unfortunately I don't think I can come up with a solution for you. I've seen this layout-width problem before with the Google Contacts app and is why I recommend using GO Contacts EX and didn't include the Google contacts app. I think its a bug in the Android framework IIRC and I spent a couple of days hunting for a solution hoping to get the contacts app working but was unable to come up with anything. You might have to try another IM app for GTalk. Looks like eBuddy and TiMessenger show up in a market search from my NST.

Did GoogleCheckin.apk get deleted from /system/app? Or have you made changes to /system/framework/framework.jar? Are B&N apps disabled? Doesn't seem likely if a working backup was restored but it looks like what the errors in the logcat may be pointing to.

How to change prog assignment

Hi, I recently rooted my NSTG and installed NTGAppsAttack. Unfortunately I checked the checkbox to always launch Relaunch when I click on the Nook menu Home softkey, and the normal Library when I click on the Library soft button. Now - as it should be - it always launching these programs. Is there any chance to change these setting somewhere? To launch different programs? It is not asking me anymore to choose from different programs.

Thanx

Cannot download SearchMarket after rooting

Hi. After rooting Ok with NookManager, installed the NTGAppsAttack package and all went Ok. The Market even installed Opera Mini but further installations simply fail because I'm unable to enter the Market and select the app for install. i have another Android devide (Galaxy S3 with 350+ apps installed) and so the app list is full of the S3 installed apps.

I have tried installing SearchMarket and other apps from Windows through the Play Store but it simply won't push these into my Nook. Also I have tried searching for a downloadable SearchMarket.apk for installation through adb, to no avail. There's no such package available for download.

I'd appreciate if somebody uploads this apk to complete my Nook rooting and customization process.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Managed to get it installed by searching for it from within the Nook Browser and installing from its web interface (from a PC it didn't work. Market stated the app would be installed but it never happened. Weird but after thit the SearchMarket app was shown topmost on MyApps in Market and could be clicked, which begun installation.
The problem is Market for Nook only displays a limited # (~15) of MyApps (given I have a Galaxy S3 with 350+ apps installed and that the Nook Market doesn't restrict to Nook installed ones).

So it's not me suffering this Google Talk problem... I experienced exactly the same thing. There might be some cause for this.

dalkor said:
Secondly, I want to know if somebody encountered a problem with gtalk like I'm having right now.
The problem is that gtalk can't open friend list, contact info etc. All I see after launching Gtalk is a screen flash and nothing more.
At first I thought that gtalk is broken because of some unexpected problems while rooting or installing gapps, but then I noticed that if somebody writes me, I can open gtalk dialog via notification bar and chat normally, which means that gtalk is at least partially functional.

Any Ideas what is the cause of this and how to fix it?

For those suffering Google Talk not working, the cause was a malformed layout file (avatar_no_presence.xml) having no layout_width/height attributes. I apktooled the Talk.apk app and added them with "wrap_content" values, rebuilt, signed and then uploaded to the Nook and made sure it sort of works. GTalk doesn't crash, I can see the list of buddies, and can set status message, but the soft keyboard doesn't popup when trying to send messages, which was sort of the case with the previous rooters (showing half of the soft keyboard). I maybe dig in a little further.

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Just found the cause for the soft keyboard issue too. In the chat_screen.xml file at line 9, remove "textShortMessage" value from the android:inputType attribute. All works fine now!

Well the problem is that you need to know how to use apktool to decompile and rebuild, how to sign your modified Talk.apk app, and how to replace the app in the system partition... I hope this can be incorporated to the next release of the NTGAppsAttack. Until then it goes something like this:

#enable adb wireless on Nook first
adb connect %IP%
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/Talk.apk
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
java -jar apktool.jar d Talk.apk
keytool.exe -genkey -keystore %keystore% -keyalg RSA -alias %keyname% -validity 10000
(I'm using Java 1.7: if you are using an older version it might be different from this.)

Then modify the files:

res\layout\avatar_no_presence.xml: add the following at line 2:
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"

res\layout\chat_screen.xml: remove the following at line 9:
|textShortMessage

#then build, sign, and replace the apk file
java -jar apktool.jar b -a %path_to_aapt.exe% Talk
jarsigner.exe -keystore %keystore% -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -storepass %password% Talk\dist\Talk.apk %keyname%
adb connect %IP%
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push Talk\dist\Talk.apk /system/app


Edit: Well, not yet. Messages are sent/received well, but the problem is once the screen fills up with messages, it doesn't scroll up! I may dig in further...
Edit2: See my other post in the next page for the solution to this issue.

Odd. avatar_no_presence.xml references style Widget.QuickContactBadge.WindowMedium which is defined in framework-res.apk with a parent style of Widget.QuickContactBadge which defines layout_width and layout_height so I don't think they should need to be explicitly specified in avatar_no_presence.xml. Why its requiring them is I believe the bug I was referring to in a previous post. Or perhaps it has something to do with B&N's framework-res but I don't see it. I suspect other theme/style issues may be the root of your other problems too.

Precisely, it's layout_width causing the problem. Without it gtalk terminates immediately when executed, giving a runtime exception saying layout_width attribute is missing in the logcat. As you said, it's weird because it's specified in the framework file.

Regarding the auto scroll issue, it looks (according to the logcat output) some operations that keeps the message view anchored to the bottom is not supported in NST. I think there is no simple quick fix for this, and probably whenever a new message is sent/received, the view must be "force-scrolled" to the bottom. Until then, we have to manually scroll it when messages fill up the screen. It's kind of bearable for now.

I found some info on the layout_width problem and it seems to apply to the keyboard problem as well. It seems to have something to do with SDK compatibility behaviors. Talk doesn't declare a minimum SDK level its compatible with or a target SDK so Android tries to use some compatibility behaviors for Android 1.0. I found a reference to this problem that said a fix was to declare minimum SDK level 7 and target SDK level 9. I tested that and Talk opens fine, doesn't crash and the keyboard seems to display properly. But I don't use Talk so I don't have any way of testing further. Would you try adding the following line to AndroidManifest.xml without any of the other changes to the layouts you have been trying and let me know how it goes.

Code: 
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="9" />

    Nook Touch Google Apps Attack aka NTGAppsAttack

    Custom Menu Addon for NookManager
    Google Apps Installer for Nook Simple Touch & Nook Simple Touch Glow firmware 1.2.0 , 1.2.1

    Highlights
    • Improved GApps install that uses the setup wizard to register eliminating the YouTube / GMail dance.
    • Market update enabled so Market updates to latest version including in-app purchases.
    • New patching method that should allow quick releases for new firmware versions.

    What apps does it install?
    • Installs Google apps to NST/NSTG running firmware 1.20 or 1.2.1 rooted with NookManager
    • Google Market (Play Store)
    • Automatically updates to latest Market for NST/NSTG Android version. Includes in-app purchases.
    • GMail & GMail sync
    • Google Contacts sync
    • Google Calendar & Calendar sync
    • Google Talk
    • Google News & Weather
    • Calculator

    What system files get modified?
    • /system/build.prop - set device fingerprint and turns on checkin
    • /data/system/packages.xml - clears signatures so new apps will install properly
    • /system/framework/framework.jar - patches to generate device id & phone type to allow market registration
    • /system/framework/services.jar - patch to start Backup Manager so setup wizard works

    Getting ready to Install
    • Root your NST/NSTG using NookManager
    • Make a backup!!
    • Download NTGAppsAttack 0.5.0 for NookManager 0.5.0 (attached at end of post)
    • If you have a reader installed that uses Adobe DRM (Aldiko, Mantano, etc.) and you have authorized it with your Adobe ID you should deauthorize it before installing GApps and reauthorize it afterwards. If you don't the change to your Android Id that happens as part of the GApps install process will invalidate your Adobe authorization and force you to reauthorize. This counts against your device limit for Adobe authorizations (6 authorized devices). If you forget to deauthorize first and you run up against the limit you will need to contact Adobe to reset your device authorizations.
    • Do not disable BN Apps or reenable them before installing NTGAppsAttack
    • If you use Googles 2 step authorization, create and have ready an application specific password since when registering your Nook it won't redirect to the page where you add a generated pin from the Authenticator app.
    • Connect to wireless before powering off and installing NTGAppsAttack so that when you boot up after installing you'll be connected and ready to register your Nook.

    ** Warning **
    I have tested this on my Nook Simple Touch. It works for me. I think it will work for you. But it might not. It might brick your Nook.
    You must root your Nook using NookManager before installing NTGAppsAttack. Using NTGAppsAttack on a Nook rooted using any other method will probably break some stuff you like. Maybe even your Nook.
    I haven't tested this on a Nook Simple Touch Glow. But the XDA forum talk is that it runs the same firmware as the Nook Simple Touch from 1.2.0 forward. NookManager roots a NSTG same as a NST and all seems rosy. So I assume NTGAppsAttack will work fine on a NSTG. But it might not.
    Install at your own risk.
    ** Warning **

    ** Important **
    Your version number of NTGappsAttack should match the version of NookManager you are using as NTGappsAttack replaces a file that is patched by NookManager. If your versions don't match things might not work when you're done. Updates to NTGappsAttack for the same version of NookManager will add a suffix to the NookManager version. For example the first NTGAppsAttack release for NookManger version 0.5.0 is NTGppsAttack version 0.5.0. An update to NTGappsAttack for NookManager 0.5.0 will be NTGppsAttack version 0.5.0.1 or 0.5.0.2, etc.

    OK, I'm ready to Install
    • Make sure your NookManager and NTGAppsAttack versions match (see above).
    • Make sure your have rooted your Nook with NookManager and all is working correctly.
    • Deauthorize any readers you have installed and authorized with your Adobe ID.
    • Unzip the NTGAppsAttack zip file into the the root of your NookManager microSD card
    • Power off your Nook
    • Insert NookManager microSD card into your Nook
    • Power on your Nook and let NookManager load
    • From the main NookManager screen select More, then Custom, then Install NTGappsAttack
    • If all goes well, select Back, Back, Exit, eject your microSD card and let your Nook boot

      ** Important **
      Once your Nook has booted you need to follow the next steps without delay. You don't need to rush but you need to move through them without interruption. Your Nook will be downloading an update to the Market while you are doing these steps. You need to be done before the update is installed. Otherwise when you open the Market you'll get a "server error" message. If that happens tap Cancel on the message and the Market will close. Go back to ReLaunch. Long press on the Market and select Uninstall and let it uninstall the update. When its done Market will still be there in ReLaunch. Immediately open the Market and pick up at step 14 again. And don't get interrupted this time. :) If the "server error" message persists try restoring your backup and try registering using a different GMail account.
      Why didn't I preinstall the update? For some reason it doesn't work and won't communicate with the Google servers.
      ** Important **

    • Touch the Android to begin
    • Skip the tutorial
    • Tap Sign In
    • Enter your gmail account and password and tap Sign In
    • Leave location tracking boxes checked and tap Next
    • Uncheck Backup Settings to My Google Account box and tap Finish (You can try leaving backup checked but I haven't tested it as I use Titanium Backup)
    • Go back to ReLaunch and open the Market
    • Accept the Terms & Conditions
    • Tap on Apps
    • Tap on All applications
    • Tap on Top Free
    • Tap on one of the Apps and install it. Any one of them, it doesn't matter which, you can uninstall it later.
    • Exit the Market.
    • You're not quite done yet. Keep reading.

    This gets the process of connecting your Nook with the Google Market servers going. At this point you are hooked up with Gmail, Contacts and Calendar syncing to your Nook. Try Gmail and Calendar out. You'll see your appointments in the Calendar and contacts in Gmail but the Contacts app isn't installed because it doesn't work on the NST/NSTG. Try Go Contacts EX once the Market is up and working. Now you need to take a break to let Google's servers get all cozy with your Nook before the Market will work properly. For me it usually takes less than an hour but it might take longer. As long as 24 hours+ has been reported for other GApps install methods. I think the installing of the free app speeds things up so I don't think you'll have to wait that long.

    To see if the Market is ready:
    • Go to http://play.google.com - its most reliable to do this from your PC
    • Search for SearchMarket
    • Click on Install
    • Open the Send To dropdown. You should see a device called "phone". Thats your Nook. Select it and click Install. If it responds "the app will be downloaded to your device shortly" your Nook and Google have cozied up nicely. If you dont't see "phone", it won't let you select "phone" or gives you an "Oops we had trouble with this request" error when you click install you need to wait longer. Once it says it will be downloaded, back on your Nook open the Market again. It should look different. You've been automagically upgraded to the most current version of the Market app supported on our Nooks. It supports in-app purchases if you care. You should see a notification balloon in your status bar. Tap on it and the message should say SearchMarket has been installed. Now you can use SearchMarket on your Nook to find apps and install them (search in the Market app is broken). If you don't get the installed notification continue on.
    • Open the Market on your Nook.
    • Tap on My Apps.
    • Tap on SearchMarket to install it.

    Missing and/or Broken Stuff
    • Market Search doesn't work - Use SearchMarket from the Market per above instructions
    • No Contacts app - try Go Contacts EX from the Market - default and iPhone themes are decent on our eInk displays
    • No Google Books - see this thread on Google Books[/URL]
    • No YouTube, Maps, etc. - download them from the Market
    • How to change sync settings - Go into Gmail, open the menu and tap on Add Account. Add your same Google account again and you'll get a screen that will let you select what you want synced. Don't worry, it won't really add the account twice.

    For Developers:
    • Source is on github for my patches and build system Feel free to use any of it in your rooters or other tools.
    • I got the setup wizard to work with a patch to services.jar to start the Backup Manager. It was looking to populate its checkbox for backing up apps & data up to Google.
    • The patch is written as an awk script to eliminate problems with line number and baksmali label changes with firmware changes. I rewrote the patch to framework.jar as an awk script as well.
    • I had to pull the MarketUpdater.apk from a different gapps package to get a matched pair of vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk signed with the same cert. Otherwise MarketUpdater would fail. I tried just using everything from the EPF30 package but it seemed a bit flaky in its communications with the Google servers. YMMV.
    • Cert mismatches may have been why I added a sed to delete the certs for uid.shared in packages.xml as well as the usual uid.system. After dozens of reinstalls I can't remember. It looks like now a different shared user id is added to packages.xml and the one the certs are removed from doesn't have any certs added to it. So maybe this isn't needed with my final selection of GApps apk's but it doesn't hurt either.

    Thank you, this is helpful.

    So is there any way to get Pocket and Kindle reader on this tablet? If yes, how?

    If no, then how do I remove my Android credentials from this tablet completely? I'd like to eBay this device and put that $30 towards an Onyx Boox C67ML Carta.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You can sideload the Kindle app from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024062

    You will also need to update the cacerts.bks file because the security certificate for amazon.com that's in the device has expired. Once you do that, the Kindle app should function just fine. Instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65503037&postcount=24

    Pocket is another issue. There was a lot of buzz about it on the forum. Not sure if there was a resolution. You might search the forum for "pocket" and see what was decided (if anything). As with most apps, finding a version that will run on Android 2.1 and still log in to servers is often difficult since so many layers of security have been added since 2.1 and often the NST just can't navigate through the hoops.

    As for removing a Google link from a device, many people would like to know how to get Google out of their devices once it's in. If you do a factory re-image (turn off, turn on and as soon as the screen changes hold both lower hardware buttons until the prompt comes up, then continue), anything you've done will be wiped out and the NST left in out-of-the-box condition. For all the reasons already discussed, it's unlikely someone will want to install GApps on the device if purchased. But there is no way I know to remove a device from Google's hive mind.

    Actually, I'd be surprised if your device shows up in Google. Mine does not and I logged in a long time ago when we still had PlayStore access. My device "disappeared" after the denial of access to Android 2.1.

    Always meant to pick up an extra NST or even NSTG to experiment with but never did it. I guess I should look into that since there are now so many developing issues with older schemes that are no longer working properly.

    To my knowledge there is no longer a version of Opera available on the Play Store that will work with the NST/G.

    I've attached a generic version of the last Opera Mobile that will install and run. It's what I use.

    It's hard to know sometimes which apps to choose from the Market but you might make a start by checking out some of the recent sample configurations posted in this thread (and even find more apps to sideload, by-passing the Market completely).

    Sorry to be thick but when I unzip the NTGappsAttack to my SD card and load it I don't see a Install NTGappsAttack option there. All I have is the Custom folder with files/menu/scripts folders and the credit and readme files. What am I doing wrong?

    Before you unzip NookManager already has the custom folder with subfolders files/menu/scripts. When you unzip NTGAppsAttack it also has the same custom folder & subfolders and the unzip should add those files to the existing custom folder and subfolders already on the sd card. You must have the file /custom/menu/custom on your sdcard for the NTGAppsAttack menu to appear and, of course, all the other NTGAppsAttack files in the appropriate folders for it to work. Then boot NookManager and from the NookManager main menu select More, then Custom, then Install NTGappsAttack.

    Hope I'm not too late to this party...

    I just bought a Nook Simple Touch this week. and I'm having difficulty w/ NTGAppsAttack.

    I can't get the Market app to work, even when I try deleting it and quickly opening it again. All I see is "Web Page Not Available"

    Similarly, the Gmail and Calendar apps do not work (though tbh I'd like to remove them if possible)

    Any advice is much appreciated. My end goal is to have 2 apps: Pocket and Kindle Reader. That's it. That's all I need.

    Here's what I've done so far:
    -Successfully installed NookManager
    -Installed NTGappsAttack onto the Nook Manager SD card (and MERGED the 2 Custom folders)
    -Got the Android icon on my Nook and logged into my Android account using a 1-time password

    I see the Google apps (Gmail, Market, Calendar) in my app drawer, but none of them work. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks!!!

    Well, as it happens, you are late to the party. Last year Google cut off Market access to devices running 2.1. See https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/google-support-android-market-android-2-t3625175

    FWIW, GMail never worked properly. It would receive OK but had to be reinstalled constantly because it would freeze up sending after a few messages. Calendar never worked. There may still be some 3rd party apps with calendar sync capability for the NST, but you'd have to hunt. Start by searching the forum for "calendar". You'll find a discussion (which may now be out of date).

    It is currently a moot point whether there is any point in installing GApps unless you want to run the last remaining version of Google Books. For that you need the behind-the-scenes syncing capability of GApps. No telling how much longer that may continue to work. See https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/gapps-post-market-era-t3656982 for a longer discussion.

    What's not known is whether the older apps that will still run on the NST require GFS (Google Famework Services) to run. Many current apps do. I have the Market app disabled on my NST and all of my apps still run OK, but there's more to GFS than just the vending app, so someone will have to test this eventually. In the meantime, you've got GApps installed so it should not be an issue for you.

    As for Market access, most apps that are useful are so old they are not in the Market any longer and you need to hunt them down (or ask around) and sideload them (many choices in the package in my signature, including a slim email client), but if you want access to the Market anyway, you can install the Yalp Store. See https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/regain-market-acccess-nst-g-t3662594 for more discussion. The version I currently have installed (0.33) works really well, but you do have to update it occasionally when Google changes something in their api.

    The good news? You didn't do anything wrong :D
