Locking the screen

Set a PIN lock on your Nook.

In an ADB shell:

I don't know if there is an easy user way to do this, but:


Either do this on the Nook in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
Or else adb pull it, sqlite3 it, adb push it.

Thanks! Now if I could only get adb to work... doing adb shell gives me "error: device not found", and turning on AdbWireless and trying to connect with adb connect just hangs.

Hi, I know this thread is a bit old but I am having a problem and I am bit of a blind baboon in a maze with all this.

I followed the directions as best I could: connected rooted Nook, started adb shell then:

Code:

# am start -n com.android.settings/.ChooseLockPin 1111
am start -n com.android.settings/.ChooseLockPin 1111
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=1111 }
Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.actio
n.VIEW dat=1111 flg=0x10000000 }

Tried other things too but I can't code for toffees so..

Can you help?

Presumably that's your desired PIN (i.e. 1111?)

You don't put it on the command line, am start -n com.android.settings/.ChooseLockPin starts the PIN chooser activity on your Nook and you enter it there, twice, to set it.

Well, on my Nook, I'd open up the Nook, hook into the console connector and do the SQLite solution to delete the lock and reboot.
You probably never got around to soldering a console connector to your Nook.

If you had access to ADB you could do the same.
Apparently you have ADB over WiFi and the WiFi is off.

I could also boot up on Clockwork Mod Recovery and use ADB over USB.
(I already have CWM as my recovery internally.)

You could put CWM on an SD card and boot that.
