Finally a new task switcher!!!

[epicavi]

Hello:
I have finally found a task switcher. It's called softkeys. It works as a taskswitcher and if someone can take the chance of moving "su" to /system/bin instead of /system/xbin then we have the keys everywhere. To use softkeys you have to double click the nook home button.
It is on the play store or you can google it and then it is on XDA.

You can do it yourself if rooted by my universal root. Go to terminal emulator and type su enter, check allow superuser access and the prompt should change to #. Then type the following line:

ln -s /system/sbin/su /system/bin/su

That first letter is a lower case L. The change is permanent and don't worry, it will not reset your device.

But I still like Home2 and full!screen better.

i was always thinking that moving "su" would cause reset and everything. I tried this busybox thing and thats what is did

No, not without heavily modifying SystemUI.apk.

You are not moving it with that command, you are symlinking it. If you did move it, it would reset.

Edit: Are you saying your device reset after you did the command I suggested? It is hard to decypher what you meant.

You need to go to /system with your root file manager and tell it to turn on read/write mode.

I don't know what you mean, modify the settings app. Settings are in the stock settings app that you pull down from the status bar at the top.

Sorry for delayed reply but yes i mean like a cyanogenmod type ics settings app. Not like a nook completely butchered version of the settings.

That is not possible. The settings app is custom made by B&N and is part of the operating system. It can't be changed to look like CM ics settings app.

Ok but is it possible to /adb pull /system/app/settings.apk from stock ics and install from sd card on nook

No. For one thing the existing settings.apk is odexed. Secondly, the ics settings app will not run. It has to be matched to the other system apps, like framework-res.apk.

Can CM 10 do anything to brick the Nook HD permanently. Like I once had a Samsung Omnia then I installed android on it. I accidently click format SD CARD. Then it wouldn't boot into Main windows mobile. It always booted into android. Then it took me like a week of dd if= of= to like restore original system image

Thanks

Yes, but bobokan and verygreen fixed their latest CWM images to fix it so you won't. The older CWM images had the option in mounts and storage to format /rom and /factory. If you did both of them, you are as good as bricked. Don't do it. CM10 itself I think is safe.
