[NTG][1.2]GlowNooter 1.12.25
- Thread starter GabrialDestruir

You have to have Gapps/Market for Maps to work, TouchNooter adds in all the required things for Maps, you just have to install from market.
Tried out swiftkey x and now have full keyboard use. Switched it to the white theme and it works fairly well. Now if I can just get it to not pop up the letter whenever I hit a key. Swiftkey doesn't pop up the letter on my phone so I am pretty sure this is something that you can disable, but haven't been able to find that option in the settings. Oh well, it doesn't bother me too much.

Unless those get updated they most likely won't work on the Glow Touch which is why I pulled them, they depend on replacement of framework JAR that tend to be version specific.
I'm not sure if I'm getting all the benefit of them, but the nook touch tools are working on my glowworm as far as letting me remap the page up / page down buttons for 'lefthanded' use - I find that layout more intuitive when reading articles in newsrob, for paging down the screen quickly.
EDIT: But, this is a tinynooted glowworm, and that rooting approach does not change out the framework.
I have a PM indicating that a glownooted device is not able to use the nook touch tools, yet.

This may be old news, but I got Opera Mini to work. Similar to YouTube in the OP, if you are having trouble with Opera, just go into /data/app and re-install it. It should work fine after that.

I'm curious of if anyone has the Market working correctly? At this point, I have a very limited set of apps available and search basically does not work. Nothing I search ever comes up.
Is this where everyone is at or are others having different experiences?

That's the intent of it, yes. Depending on which device you have, there are other nooters specific to those devices elsewhere on these forums.
Market is inherently broken because of Google's move to "Google Play". You however can go onto the Google Play website select the apps you want to install and they'll install via that method.
Thanks to your wonderful work, my nook has become more useful now. May I ask you a few questions about this build.
1. Can I remove Music and Youtube, since those apps are useless because Nook Touch doesn't have speaker...
2. The default browser doesn't work, any way to fix it ?

I don't know what is up, but I recently got my NST GL and I was actually quite scared about rooting it with this method since ALOT of people are complaining on bricked devices, and bad root installtions that only give partial support. I have rooted alot of Androids during the years and I feel confident with the Clockwork mod, ADB and such tools.
I didn't follow any guide, I just used linux command dd to move the clockwork mod files to the microSD using a SE Xperia Arc S as a card reader. Moved the two files to the root of the microSD card and rooted.
Everything went as it should, many apps didnt work at first, the built in Opera browser didn't work, the usual Browser didnt work, Market didnt work (even with the fix), I tried to rerun the rooting by flashing it again, nothing happend. So I just gave a **** about market and other stuff. The device didnt show up on play.google.com either.
The ****ed up thing is that the apps is starting to work, on by one, first the GMail app, then the browser is starting to get alot less buggy (I however use Opera Mobile). And last, market.
I read some using the stock reader, slept for 8h and started to fool around with ADW settings. In the theme menu I tried to "Get more themes" and the market started! I was thrilled, I imidiately went to play.google.com and my device was recognized.
****, I just love this nook. For $130 a complete tablet with battery life for a month. Kicks the **** out of iPad, for that price. And the E-Ink dispaly is gorgeus.

The default browser was stripped down and broken by B&N. They wanted it to do one thing really well, and that was allow for logging into Wifi Hotspots that have landing pages. Also had you followed the guide, you would of downloaded and flashed both parts of GlowNooter and market would of worked immediately.
No nooter has been released that breaks the version of hardware/software it was released for, and it is impossible to brick any nook device, the worst that you could do is delete your rom information that allows you to register with B&N.
The only "bad" root installation is from people not following instructions, and/or complaining because the search is broken which is inherently broken because of google's recent updates to play.
I'm close, but I must be doing something wrong.
have a working 1gig sd card with the cwm image, and the 2 zip files were on the internal SD card.
I got logged in to youtube OK, play store opens, but gmail never syncs, which Ii don't really care about, but I can't get play store to download/update. It keeps wanting to update superuser, but it just gets to "waiting to start", and then just sits there.
The device isn't showing up in play store either.
My BN account is the same email address as my google apps account, but they aren't "linked". if that's possible from the bn website.
I didn't see any errors in the flashing. But I'm not quite there yet.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
The Glowworm uses Android 2.1 that predates Google Play which might explain the issues you're seeing. Most folks instead install a 3rd party Search Market app (search the forums and you'll find it) so as to make the existing Market operate correctly.
Hope this helps,
Ian

43This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch
I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.
- What it does:
- Enables ADB via uRamdisk
- Installs adbWireless

53Uploading an untested version of a patch that should work for 1.2.x to the nooter download site. I'll link it here and check in on whether it works or not if anyone wants to give it a try.
https://nooter.googlecode.com/files/glownooter-1-12-25.zip
Note: This is untested, it is just a patched framework.jar from the latest 1.2.x update. This may also work on Touch without Glow. This makes no changes to uRamdisk so any "improvements" by B&N to the uRamdisk may be lost. I will further check out the uRamdisk when I have more time on my hands.3
The difference between this and tinynoot IS the fact it has Market on it, you can actually go to google.com/play now and install apps to the device. Other than that there is no major difference.2
The newer versions of Kindle won't work on the Glow. The version included below seems to be the latest version that works. - What it does:
