I would start off by saying thatnks but I hit te buton so many times I think it is covered...smile.

Ok, I have downloaded the 1.4.2 version and am getting ready to install. First silly question, does I need to "Root" first or will your zip include that. i acutally read the thread and saw the evolution but am now a bi confused.

I will hold all other silly questions until I get this up and running.

Thanks for all your work on this Veronica...ok I said it anyway.

You do not need to be rooted to apply this rom but you must have CWM (clockworkmod) and to get that go here

and make a SD card and boot into CWM and then you can take that SD card out and put Veronica's zip file on it and put it back into the NT and install from zip

So, then when this rom is applied, does it create root status within the OS - or is it simply the stock OS with unauthorized enhancements?

Hi Veronica. Can you pls repost your 1.4 link?

I guess I need some clarification...I have a 16GB model, and installed the 1.4.0 modified version a couple of weeks ago. It works great...softbuttons modded, ribbon mod, home button does what it should (takes you to the home screen)...looks and works like an unbranded android tablet. I now see that the download link is for a 1.4.2 modified stock ROM. Am I to understand that this ROM functions the same as my current setup AND that it works on either the 8GB or 16GB devices? If so...I will likely be picking up another 8GB device...they are on sale right now for $150.

Yes.. It does work on the NT8. Personally, I prefer CM7 (it runs great visit sdcard) so I have not done any real testing of this rom/mod. Check out my youtube channel for nook. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YMJYkESKtA&feature=plcp

It does indeed Provide Root so you can sideload almost any apps you want.

Can you put a 2nd partition in addition to the 50MB on the same SD card as the bootable CWM so you can install the OS from there?

Its faster if you put the "OS" in the internal partition a.k.a media a.k.a MyNOOK and install it with CWM booting from sdcard.

Sorry if this post really isn't adding anything...but I spent some time finding these resources last night so thought I consolidate things into a single post.

I received my new NT 8GB yesterday, and wanted to get it working like my current NT 16GB that is happily running Veronica's B&N debloated 1.4.0 modified stock ROM. As I have expressed, I think that her modified stock ROM is currently the best one out there...CM7 and CM9 still need some work. As some previous posts indicate, her new version of the modified 1.4.2 stock ROM does not have the same funcitonality - namely that the ICS-modified softbuttons have been removed and the hardware home button no longer takes you home...it opens the B&N home interface. This was intentional on her part as she wanted to keep stock functionality. I don't want the stock functionality, so was looking for a way to make the stock functions invisible. I also had trouble getting the bootable CWM recovery SD card that was linked previously in this thread to work. I have found the solution to these problems, mostly through other posts here, and now have my new NT8 working just like the NT16.

The CWM recovery card that finally worked for me was the image made by Veronica in this thread:

Once her 1.4.2 modified stock ROM is installed, you need to replace /system/app/SystemUI.apk with the file that can be found here (thanks to rwischer for finding this):

Using the NT hidden settings that the OP includes with the ROM, you can block OTA updates and you can not register your device following the instructions and linked video in the OP. Some people have had trouble enabling the installation of non-Market apps with this ROM. Again, using the NT Hidden Settings app, I got this to work. I did have to enable it a few times before it seems to have 'stuck', but now is working fine. The device still has the B&N content installed for anyone who wants that, but it is invisible to those who do not.

Now everyone 'Thanks' the OP.

Loving the enhancements, truly opens things up for us over plain old stock! Thanks for your hard work!!

I would like to request an alternate download for those of us wishing to have the ICS soft buttons as in earlier versions please! Very handy!!

Actually, this post appears to be a newer version: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21889327&postcount=61
It is a flashable zip file. Use CWM to flash it (like GApps, or a ROM, etc).

Note to everyone. If you want to link to a specific post on these forums, just right-click on the post number (in the upper right corner), then copy the link address and paste it into your post.

First off..thanks for creating this!!!..great rom, and running great on my nt8..only problem i have is that alot of apps seem to be incompatable in the market..I realize that I can side load them..but I was wondering if there was a way to change how the market sees the device since its kind of a pain to keep sideloading updates and whatnot..if not small price to pay for having my nook running the way I want...thanks again!

There is a procedure that works WITHOUT changing the device name (thanks to James_Lan) found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26806925&postcount=7
I am not certain that it works for the Ribbon Root, it was tested on CM9 (ICS) but I suspect it will work on any version.

Please reply there and advise whether it works if you do NOT restore the Google Play app to factory (that has not been tested AFAIK). You probably WILL need to clear the cache on the Play store app.

you only changed those four lines?..mines still not working..at least i dont think so, although i got an email from google thanking me for getting a nexus s lol..i still am having issues..like i cant install google+

EDIT: sorry about this, after reading all the way through those threads, it appears that its mostly affecting games that cant normally be seen or played, like order and chaos or modern combat and letting you see and play them...apps like facebook and google+ are still not able to be dled or used, so its off to the tb-dropbox shuffle....thanks for the links tho!!

I do not see all the apps in the Google play market available for download. How do I fix that?
