From with in the App folder press Menu > More > Mount > Read/Write. Then long press on vending.apk. From pop up menu select File Tasks(?) > Rename. Reboot. Repeat. This is from memory so its not 100% exact but procedure is correct.[/QUOTE said:
Thanks for the info. I installed File Expert, but I do not see any options to Mount.

Wow! Great information. Got the file, etc. Is this supposed to fix WiFi based location? My Location button on Maps and my weather program continue to request activating GPS in System settings--obviously not possible with the Nook.

Thanks for you help...Much appreciated.

No problem. It does not fix the "my location" option; it lets the app install and work, but it cannot find you. I have not seen a "my location" fix yet for stock 1.2. Then my NC, OC'd to 1.1gHz, would be *perfect*.

. . . until I break it again while trying to fix it. :D

FAKEGPS 'fixes' the location problem.

OOPS! I 'know' that FakeGPS 'used' to work ... perhaps with 4.5.6???? I only use Phiremod 6.3 and/or MN and since Phiremod has no problems with location I must have used it with 4.5.6. However, I'm NOT going back from 4.5.25 because all is working (except location).
AND, Yes, FakeGPS is a 'spoof' but it is better than nothing since some apps REQUIRE location.

Fake GPS doesn't really fix the My Location problem - it allows you to manually create spoofed location points, but does not allow the Nook Color to be "found". I (personally) do not find it to be helpful -- maybe if I did not have my EVO 4G as a backup!

I got my NC rooted with MN. Question is if I want if I want to sell my NC, will deregistering wipe and delete root access.

Also how can I overclock? Setcpu? If so, any particular settings that work fine. Thanks.

Updated to 4.5.25 from 4.5.6 and it worked perfectly!

- I had the boot loop issue when I tried to install Flash 10.3 with 4.5.6, but under the advice of someone else. I renamed the flash 10.1 and then installed and it worked fine.

- calendar is now syncing and the market place is updated!!!

Thank you to all who have worked to make this happen.

What did you do to get your calendar to sync? I can't find any sync settings.

Edit: I downloaded Calendar Pad from the market (great app that I have been using on my phone for a while) and it immediately synced with Google Calendar without me doing anything (other than prior login to Google). I was never able to get the calendar app in the app drawer (that I think came with MN) to work.

Okay - question for GabrielDestruir and GMPOWER on this one...

I asked over on the thread that gmpower started for his fix for market installation errors whether the code had been released so Dalingrin could do an updated OC kernel and Dalingrin said that he had already addressed this in his first .32 release.

Now, there were 3 fixes in the latest MN here - calendar sync, error 18 for market installs, and new market FCs. When I look at the MN zip, I see framework changes, apk changes, and, of course, the kernel.

So, the question to you guys who can answer is this: was the kernel change in this release only to support the market installation error and, if so, does that mean that someone could simply drop dal's last stock OC kernel on top of the latest MN and lose nothing?
 
Thanks for the info. I installed File Expert, but I do not see any options to Mount.

Duh, my fault, I forgot the first thing to do is allow root exploerer access. This can be found Menu > More > Settings > File Explorer Settings > Root Explorer. Click the check box then click the 'Allow' for super user access.

Now: Menu > More > Mount > Mount as Read Write.

If this help click Thanks. Good Luck

Someone may need to verify but I believe I fixed all the kernel issues with app installation(APP2SD) and such back around May 10th. This was in my first release of 2.6.32. My kernel should be a drop in replacement. I haven't heard of anyone having issues.

I suppose I should have communicated this to the ManualNooter people :(

Could you please post MD5 Checksum for this? Since this is low-level firmware flashed ZIP I would hope the OP would always post this.

Thanks!

I hadn't known this was fixed in any of your Kernels and saw no mention of the Unknown Reason -18 being fixed by other users (I hadn't actually checked your threads.)

With this fix being in your Kernels that means by replacing it they won't lose anything provided by GMPOWER's kernel.

This kernel only addresses the Market Install Error Framework/apk changes were all to get Calendar/Market working properly.

Well, I'll be doggone. I am running the 5/23 kernel to overclock to 1.1mHz, and did not realize you fixed the APP2SD. I just verified on my NookColor that apps can be moved. I am running the latest MN, with dal's 2.6.32 5/23 kernel. With the shared library permissions fix discussed in this thread earlier today, my NC is running smoothly.

    • Before you begin:
      • To update to 1.2 you must do a complete wipe.
      • You must update to 1.2 to use ManualNooter Instructions Here.
      1. You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
      2. You must have a Google Account, for Gmail, Market, Etc. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
      3. CWM Bootable from SD Card: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987735 - You should always use the Latest CWM Version
        • OR emmc CWM Recovery Installed
      4. You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
    • 1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.
    • Let's get started:
      • If you're running a previous MN you do not need to do a complete wipe.
      1. Download ManualNooter from here:
        ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip - 1.3 Only
        ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip
      2. Copy onto your flashable CWM SD card using Windows Explorer, OS X Finder, etc.
        • See step 3 above for how to make a flashable CWM card.
        • DO NOT extract the zip file. It MUST be left as-is.
        • DO NOT copy the zip file into a folder. Leave it at the top directory of your card
      3. Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
      4. Turn off your NookColor (If turned on.)
      5. Insert Flashable CWM SDcard with ManulNooter into your NOOKcolor.
      6. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
        • If using Flashable CWM SDCard this should boot you into recovery.
        • If using eMMC CWM Recovery instead of SD CWM Recovery, boot to recovery.
      7. When CWM boots select the update using your Volume Keys and n button:
        • - install zip from sdcard (Volume up 4 times, then n)
        • - choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)
        • - manualnooter-4-x-x.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)
          • 1.3 needs to run 4.5.18 before 4.6.16
        • - Confirm that you really want to run the update.
          • Selecting this indicates that you take responsibility for your own actions.
      8. Wait patiently and follow onscreen directions.
        • If you get "Install Failed" after rebooting out of CWM this can be normal. Just reboot again.
      9. After reboot and unlocking your device select Zeam Launcher.
      10. Run Fix Permissions from Rom Manager - 1.3 Only after running 4.6.16
      11. Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service/Sign In.
        • If you get a full application list, you're done!
        • You may not have to Accept Terms and Service or Sign In if you're updating from a previous MN version.
        • If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted.
      12. Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
        • If you want to revert your card to a "usable" state.
      13. Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
      14. This will wipe your SDCard of all MN/CWM Flashable abilities. If you use this you will have to reflash the SDCard for future MN releases.

    • Complete Wipe:
      1. 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
      2. Factory Reset > Wipes /data
        • This will not work if you're using emmc Clockwork Mod Recovery
        • You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.

    From now on if your having an issue here's the format that needs to be used:

    • Rooted with: ManualNooter 4.x.x
    • Kernel:
    • Additional Mods (includes wifi adhoc, etc):

    Then list the problem you're having. The faster we have information about your setup the faster someone can see about helping.


    There's an entire two file change in 4.5.18 from 4.5.6 if your Wifi Adhoc w/e worked on 4.5.6 but doesn't on the update means something else is going wrong, perhaps some settings got changed around the same time you updated. Otherwise if you could use ADB or something to logcat when you try to connect perhaps someone can actually look into it.


    Also all update fixes for market are in the last two versions of MN. IF you're not using at least 4.5.6 then don't ***** when you get "Download Unsuccessful" also don't ***** if you get "Unknown Reason -18" because you decided the OP was too long for your liking and you just couldn't stand to read through it all, there is a current work around for Unknown Reason -18 and I'm currently watching the Kernel that fixes this to make sure it's stable enough for MN release. This will address all market issues with the old market.

    Until someone can find out why the signature checking for 1.2 and Gapps is apparently so strict and or a way to work around it there's NOTHING that can be done to get Newer Market working all nice and perfect (without FCs and such) along with Network Location or Calendar syncing, short of grabbing sets of apps and trying them and hoping like hell you find a set that works.


    Kids Books issues are addressed with 4.5.18 so if you're not using at least 4.5.18 I don't want to hear *****ing from this post on about how they're broken. They were broken the entire time in MN and it was just brought up as soon as I got a replacement SD Card and reader I immediately released an update for MN that addressed this problem.

    For those with missing apps in market this did the trick for me:

    STEPS:

    1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.
    Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account
    2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.
    3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.
    Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications
    4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.
    5) Select the Applications option
    6) Select the Manage applications option
    7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.
    8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.
    9) Tap on the Clear cache option button
    10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!
    11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.
    12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.
    13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.
    13) Tap on the Force close button now.
    14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.
    15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.
    16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
    This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.
    17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.
    18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing! :D

    I found this solution on a forum called gadgetsandtablets

    Can some people give this updated version a try? Just install this after a fresh upgrade to 1.4.1, no need to install any prier version. I can’t possible test everything out, so I need people to report back with any problems that they run into.

    * This does include the program HomeCatcher.
    * It includes my flashplayer fix, so you should not run into any problems updating adobe flash or air.
    * This will install android market v. 2.12, but will then upgrade to the current one.
    * On first boot, make sure you select the zeam launcher as default.
    * This does NOT have the added kernel file.
    * Don’t consider this a released version.

    I came across something that was missing in the last file, live wallpapers were overlooked, and I did not find that out until tonight. Here is a link for that updated version, I also went ahead and pulled the updated superuser file, and put it into this version. No real need to update from the last one unless you would like to have live wallpapers.

    LINK

    Also, another issue that I would be interested in finding out
    *The individuals that in past could not load MN 4.6.16 because of bootloops, and were stuck with 4.5.18, if this version works correctly?
