I've found that the free GSam Battery monitor is very useful for tracking down apps that drain the nook. http://bit.ly/1Xclacj . I found two apps that I had installed that were trying to call home and draining my battery.

Thanks, That was it Got it going by uninstalling the old app. Really like how I don't have to update the book lists to get the "reading now shortcut" to link to a book you just started reading. On my nook, the "Last Reading" page isn't updating.

Couldn't get v1.12 to open on my NST ??

Love your Library App. I use v10 which works with the stock NST reader. Some suggestions if you get around to it: Show Authors names first on, say, the author sort. Some of the titles are so long that the author's name is not ever displayed. Also on long press of one of the titles you get a...

I see my problem. I was long pressing that key which gets to the choice of keyboard. A short press will get to the configure menu. Thanks for the help!

All I get is select input method and my choice of keyboards when I hit the timer icon. ????

How do you configure either of these keyboards? When I hit the key with the configure icon in Hackers I get a dialog box that gives me a choice of keyboards.

This all makes sense to me. When it becomes unresponsive the cloth case I have is closed. I've noticed that the loose cloth from the case sometimes t touches the screen. Sometimes this must confuse the sensors, causing the freeze. When I leave the case open, so far, it hasn't frozen. Thanks...

I can pinch to zoom in Opera so guess I must have multitouch enabled. I used the method given here to root: http://bit.ly/1mQmLyJ I am using the 176 kernal. Been having this problem fairly recently. Doesn't matter if wifi is on or off. Don't have any app to manage sleep as far as I know.

My NST sometimes freezes when it is sleeping. I can wake it up to the ADW screen by hitting the "n" button but then it is unresponsive. to my touch and can not start any apps. The only way I can get control is by long pressing the back button until it is shut down, then rebooting. Then all is...

On my nook, if I just add another reader app I get the chance to pick any default reader app again.

Reinstall moon+ (or install some other reader) and you will be given the opportunity to select a default reader again from all readers installed.

Big improvement in eliminating image debris that accumulated on the screen in the previous version. Thanks for the work.

A real problem on the NST. The best I've found is Renate's Library.apk http://www.temblast.com/download/Library-1.11.apk That doesn't have the option for categories or keywords, however.

Hmm. The latest glow-light seems to have no flashing in its Reader.We have established that we are using different versions of B&N 1.2.1 software. The thought occurred to me that maybe there was an improvement to B&N software that I don't have. Does that make sense?

Nope had the backlight off.

Very strange. Above are pictures of the same page on my nook 10 page turns and then another 10 page turns (total 20 page turns), forward and back. Could it be some problem with the eink? The "dirt" seems to accumulate on the areas that are not written on. Note the dark margins.

I would say that shot was about after about 20-25 or so pages. ---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ---------- I tested the latest nook glo-lite at the B&N store. The reader in it went many pages without flash and there was no dirty buildup on the...

I love the page turns and the lack of page flashing! I've been using it. One downside I noticed; The screen tends to look dirty after reading many pages. (see picture)

I'm not sure I understand. All I need to do is install a copy of the above update zip using CWM and I am good to go. Is it that simple?

Good job! In the great eink reader competition the stock reader flashes about every 5th page, AIReaderEINK and CoolReader about every 4th page, Temblast Reader doesn't flash at all! Went through most of a book without a flash. Also don't know how the screen can look much better. AIReader...

You did all that in 5 minutes? You are a better and much faster man than I am. In any case, to answer the question I get: verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys as the output of Renate's adb comand

Tried this tutorial and got to the part: "Part III: The Setting-Up Part On your Android Phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and in there enable USB Debugging." And at a loss as to what to do. Can't find USB debugging on my NST

I am not using anything that affects the graphic system. What I meant to say was that I have no need to go though the considerable trouble to install ADB on linux. I would be glad to help if you might be able to tell me the file in which the build no is located and would be happy to send it to you.

Not running ADB, Using Linux Mint.

It's 1.2.1

I've had a chance to use this reader, reading a few chapters in a epub, alternating with the stock reader Comparing the two, I still think the text is clearer with the new reader. There may be a trade-off, however The stock reader does a complete refresh of the screen about every five page turns...

Sorry to say but it still doesn't remember the last read page for me. It also forgets my EPUB config preferences. I've been using your Library app.

Think the text is clearer! Doesn't remember the Last Reading Point for me but not using the stock library. ---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ---------- Also, looses my place when the screen saver kicks in.

First problem: On my nook it didn't show up in adw so I can't run it

PMs? I don't understand.

Great list! Didn't know about Wifi transfer. Very usefull. What version of Crosswords did you get to work on your nook. I couldn't get any of the ones I tried to work?

Not sure what you are looking for. Evernote works off-line. Download the apk and side-load it to your nook, There is also a simple notepad app that comes with Android that should be already on your nook after rooting.

Try: Evernote https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B7ODz45fOUKVWlZ0S3lIb3hNNnM

Renate's Library.apk 1.10 is the best I've found. Get it here : http://www.temblast.com/download/Library-1.10.apk That said, you can search only authors and titles. You can't label your books like the B&N shelf function, as poorly executed as it is . I think the lack of a good retrieval system...

With a large number of ebooks I would find it very usefull if I coulld sort them: fiction: mystery/ historical/classic / nonfiction: biography /history /science etc. The shlves function i the stock library has the right idea but is very cumberson to use. A workaround might be if I could...

I have a large number of side-loaded ebooks. Any idea how to search through them by subject or catagory? Is there any app for tagging them so they can be retrieved?

If I get a used nook is there amy problem if I put my tweaked nookManager backup image from my old nook on it?

By that test it's the screen. Any chance it could be the connection to the screen? I haven't taken it apart yet.

I am afraid to say my nook froze today with a strange screen: The light part of the screen seems to be sl;owly fading. The nook is unresposive to all the keys, including shutting down. It was running normally and not being used at the time when it froze. When connected to usb the contents of...

Everything works like a charm now. Thanks for all the help!

Found the problem. I am not crazy. Here is the screenshot I saw of my original "problem" files here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20746013/Scans.zip I removed my sdcard, Updated the list of ebooks using Library.apk (so it was now empty). Reinserted the sdcard and repopulated the list...

Thanks for the effort but I honestly don't see any improvement. The name of the author displayed in the Library.apk and Calibre for that one file is "Adrian Levy", not "Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark" . Calibre, in the author sort, had that out of order also but the stock app listed it with...

Here is a link to examples some (of many) problem files: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20746013/Problems.zip They all look ok in Calibre and in the stock Lilbrary app.

I love and use Library.apk and I hate to be critical about such good free software but on my nook sometimes the app doesn't capture the same title and author (or even getting the author) as does Calibre and the standard nook Library. Also, sometimes the author sorting is by first name, sometimes...

This one works for me: http://bit.ly/1ftqHSV

Crossword Games I like the game "Classic Words Free" that runs well on the nook. I've been looking for a crossword puzzle game that loads .PUZ files but none on the app store will run on the nook. Any suggestions?

Do I read this correctly, http://bit.ly/Q7MytN from that thread there should be no problem if renates Library.apk is used exclusively and the stock Library.apk has the bug?

There is a Android App "Default App Manager" on Google play that may work.

Would it be possible to write an app that simulates opening the last read book from only one of the Library apps and then map that to the last read icon to simplify this whole system?
