[GP, G3, GP7.8] TWRP & alternative firmware

[emilic]

I dunno, post the android_policy.jar

Just saw in above text that it also didn't work for someone else that was using this modifier SW...

but here is the android_policy.jar of my device
Thanks!

and FYI :

$ getprop|grep finger
[ro.build.fingerprint]: [Freescale/ntx_6sl/ntx_6sl:4.4.2/KOT49H/106:user/release-keys]

Well, it's not in there. And it looks like they took the B&N version out of the fingerprint.

getprop|grep build

Any 5.something or 50 something in there?

Why is the build date in Chinese? I don't know what you have there.

These are the versions I have and these are the build dates:

aaaaa I just re-read (funny how once you advance in a project you read stuff again and understand them in a different way...) this post. In which RyogoNA clarifies that he is using

Regarding image that is displayed when book is turned off it is packed inside /system/app/MsgE6.apk

for the screen saver. And you tell him that your patch is a better solution... ^^
I think the "chinese/japanese" thing comes from RyogoNA copy of the Mobiscribe e-ink reader SW.

Well as my current project is taking me to use a screen saver to display stuff... I think I'll be rolling back to a nook fw version and applying ur smali patches

I just hope that newer version of the SW reduce the amount of false positive "touches" that I am experiencing on my screen... Is there any version you recommend ? latest one ? (53.0.66)

Do you have the white Glow BNRV510?

Do you have the black Glow BNRV520?

Thanks for what you done! It's an amazing firmware. My ebookreader is tolino vision2. The PPI display is not right. I adjust it via ADB command [adb shell wm density 160]. The UI looks better. My question is how to add the tolino app to it？If the tap2ip function could be added，it will be perfect！BTW，How to swap back to the tolino firmware？

It's been a couple of years since I modded my Nook 7.8" device. But I no longer use it and need to return to the original FW. I've read through this thread, but it isn't clear to me yet what the steps would be. I have access to adb and can see the device. Furthermore, I've also downloaded the update firmware, but it's been a while since working on my last Android FW.

Can anyone here please share the steps required to return to the original state? Thanks.

I am going to attempt to answer my own question: I was playing around and took a chance with code

adb reboot recovery

. Under RESTORE I saw there was a file dated from a couple of years ago. I restored using this file, and it seemed to have worked! I seem to be back to the Nook fw.

The process seemed too easy, so, if I am missing something, please let me know.
