hi i'm using your rom now, and the only issue i'm having is that i can't disable the autocorrect, or reach keyboard settings.... i don't want to install other keyboard, just want to use the stock one.

That is normal and is because the stock stock keyboard was removed and was replaced with Android standard keyboard instead so when you try to access keyboard settings as normal it FC, BUT you can reach keyboard settings by using Anycut and with that create a shortcut to keyboard settings:

Open Anycut >> New shortcut >> Activity >> Scroll down until you see Android Keyboard settings

Open Anycut >> New shortcut >> Activity >> Scroll down until you see Android Keyboard Debug settings

.. Those 2 are the options for the keyboard.

anycut isn't working for me, i choose android keybord settings, it says shortcut created, but there's no new shortcut on the homescreen...

i'm not using go launcher, i've tried Zeam launcher and ADW, and both launchers crashes when i try to add shortcuts...

Sorry for the total noob question, but at step 5 it requires CWM, where exactly did this get loaded, how does one get to it?

This is quite a find!!!! Two questions, I asked these elsewhere, but maybe I should've asked them here.

Can I use the rebloating zip on CM7, to reinstall the b&N reader functionality? I'm looking for the read-to-me function.

AND, can I use some or all of the to do the same on my ICS/EOS Xoom?

I also find that the reader NOT loading my Kids books and my "Enhanced" novel is kind of a deal breaker. What version of reader are you using that it breaks tis functionality? it was available in the stock 1.4.0.

I would really like to finish reading my book, and the kids are gonna be pretty pissed if they cant access their grandmothers "read to me" recordings.

Do i stick around to see this fixed or reset completely?


BTW i too find the font choice difficult to read.

the rebloat package only works on stock, CM7 gets rid of all B&N experience.

I have stock.... Did you read my post? i said NOTHING about having CM7. I have reflashed YOUR 1.4.0 WITH B&N as well as the rebloat package.

I see the library.

I see my Books (Minus the ones im griping about)

But when i try to download my Kids "read to me " titles or my enhanced content books i get the following error.
nook.jpg


"Sorry, this content is currently not supported on this NOOK. Visit nook.com/tablet/support for ..."

If the rebloat only gives you basic reading i might as well install CM& and use the downloadable reader...

What i asked is what version are YOU using in this install ? Because its not the same as what COMES WITH the nook Tablet. is this the colors version or is this missing something?

My comment was for newskate9 forgot to quote him.
I think you can't download because of the OTA block so try clearing data of device manager service app in titanium backup, reboot and try downloading everything again once you're done downloading apply OTA block again OR freeze that app if you have titanium backup pro, unfreeze when you want to download.

But is more secure OTA block otherwise you could get the 1.4.2 update, I don't I use B&N services so haven't test myself but from what I've read in this forum could be that.

When I flash stock I bypass registration.

You could also try downloading in your computer from B&N Web page if possible and then copy the books to the right folder in your nook tablet.

Very cool news indeed. Meanwhile I am having issues with wifi constantly restarting and often just unable to quit or restart unless reboot.
Help?

Hmmm i actually never had issues with wifi but im having them with 1.4.2, im waiting for @zambien to reply to me if he can make the adhoc patch for the 1.4.2 wifi_supplicant then i have to test and upload the rom.

Try click on your network connection >> forget then connect again and/or wiping cache and dalvik cache in CWM.

Hey, normally I enter recovery using the power + "N" key, but somehow that does not seem to work anymore...not sure if it is the ROM or what. Is there another way to enter recovery? Say, if I am stuck on a boot loop.

ok.. sorry for the noob question, blah, blah blah, (insert obligatory apologies for not knowing what the hell i am talking about here)



I am getting ready to root for the first time. Had side loaded several apps on the nook before update broke side-loading.

Problem is, the "recommended" section states i should backup using titanium.

how do i get that on? it doesn't seem to be in the nook store, and i can no longer side load. so how do i backup?

Second.. says to "Wipe data, dalvik cache before flash a new ROM" i have no idea what dalvik cache is or how to wipe it.

sorry again, and thanks.

really looking forward to getting some functionality back.

Hmmm start reading my FAQ from there you have to start - link in my signature. You need to root, intall CWM and sideload titanium backup, you can find it if you google it or i can pm it to you later.

here i give support for the roms posted in OP.

got it, and thanks. Did read the tutorials... almost all of them. Had to go to google to figure out CWM. I thought that when i transfered your file to the card that CWM would automatically start or something..... it didn't. :(

Once I figured out how to get that on a card, added your file, and i am good to go now.

Love it very much, thank you for taking the time to do this, and being so helpful in this forum (which I read almost all the way through!)

I did have a couple of odds and ends questions regarding the new setup.

1. go launcher ex and go locker are options when you hit the "N" button. But both seem to do the same thing. is this normal?


2. The other third party launcher, i forget the name, just brings up an overlay. I got rid of it. Even that took some doing. This is my first foray into an Android environment, but the little pullout from the right and side remains. Can i get rid of this some how?


3. I made go launcher ex the default. Go locker is still in the apps section. should i delete it like i did the other third party app (task xp?, i believe)


4. I never did figure out how to backup using titanium, as i had no way to install it. was there a way from a un rooted 1.4 state?

5. I have a few apk files that i had side loaded before the update screwed that up for me. can those be added too? I am sure they can, just not sure how to go about it. I looked briefly on line, but by that time i was burned out from messing with this thing. :(

6. when i set it up, i entered my gmail info because i needed to put apps on it. This is my daughter's nook. I figured i would change the account info later. Now it will not let me. when i go to the hidden settings app and try to unlink it says it is needed for some apps and i need to delete the account from the privacy settings in the settings app. There is no privacy settings that i can find in the settings app

anyway, thank you for the help!

    Update 15/2/12

    Alright UPLOADING v2, will be a flashable zip now no more CWM backup folder and a standar Apk_Package_Installer.zip with:

    * Androzip
    * Anycut
    * App cache cleaner
    * Dolphin Browser
    * ES Bookmark Manager (to create shortcuts of your media on desktop)

    ... These apps are included in the v2 of this ROM.

    As i have mentioned in this thread with a flashable zip you get more flexibility.
    What does that mean? It means that you can delete apps that you don't want or add others by drag and dropping it/them within /system/app of the .zip

    Edit: OP UPDATED!

    Different but still no go.

    1) The B&N reader & store are availible in the stock launcher but are missing in from Go Launcher. Is there a way to migrate the app from the stock laumcher?

    2) Not as but an issue but annoying. The unroot app force close appears after every reboot.

    3) The 'N' key at the bottom reverts the launcher back to the Book default. I think I know why & how to fix this one.

    I was sure to clear the user data and cache this time!

    1. Is normal and why you need to keep stock launcher, you can tap on a book and it will open directly with reader or prompt a window with the option to choose between reader and 3rth party apps that you have installed.
    To handle better the back and forth launchers use HomeCatcher.apk

    2. Move the unroot app from /system/app to /data/app using a file explorer or just uninstall it if you think you won't need it with app for uninstall I have added

    3. Use HomeCatcher

    PS: Read my FAQ for tips

    Just to let you guys know i update OP with a full version (means with B&N content already included) so you don't have to use the re-bloat if you want to have B&N content.

    Also im almost done modifing a CM7 Soft-mod ROM with Ribbons ICS theme!

    @cgdash now i understand your request and that function got deactivated once i change SystemUI and framework-res apps that i got from this thread and here you can see some modifications that users have made. PM @xecuter or post in that thread for help and hopefully it can be done.

    Hmm will think about it, next version will have the copy paste mod. Keep dropping suggestions people.
