Nook Simple Touch -> Nook Multi Touch [Screensaver Locking Issue Explanation Added]

What about glowlight?
I rooted Nook Simple Touch with glowlight by following this guide :
blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/05/28/how-to-root-nook-glow-using-glownooter-includes-googles-app-market/
Is there a way to add multitouch capabilities?
As I see, the market fix is in fact the "End" file of the multitouch, but obviously the start is missing (or maybe it is integrated within the first file?)
And a little offtopic - has anyone succeeded in running "Adobe Reader" on Nook? I manage to install it after rooting, but when I try to change pages, it exits. I tried 9.0, 9.0.2 and 10.0 versions maybe older will do, but I don't have one.

multitouch on glowlight
I used the uImage1_1_5_multitouch
This was the only 1.1.5 image that did not break the glowlight.
Renamed to uImage (removed all suffixes) and put manually using noogie.
After that I copied the XML file from the permissions directory to the SD card (Using ES File Explorer with root permissions).
Connected the nook to the computer and edited the XML file using a text editor. (followed the instructions for manual multitouch)
Disconnected the nook from the laptop and ran the ESFileExplorer again.
Replaced the original XML file in etc\permissions with the modified one
rebooted the nook.
Tested multitouch with reader and Opera Mobile and it was working
Please make backups of all modified files before making changes.

All my 1.1.5 kernels (http://code.google.com/p/nst-recovery/downloads/list) have the Glow-Light driver included. You should use uImage1_1_5_multitouch if you just want multitouch, or uImage_mt_usbhost_nopowercheck_115.zip if you also want usb-host-capability (this one may drain your battery).
Thank you!
So, maybe I must use "NST kernel, multitouch, usbhost, usb drivers, based on 1.1.5" if I want save battary?
can't get multitouch to work
I've tried every possible method to get multitouch. Even this method. The xml shows the "screen, multitouch" lines already in the file.
I can use multitouch in the mobile opera browser but not pdf in the reader or aldiko.
What am I doing wrong?

firmware 1.0.1 update (to enable multi touch)
Hi!
I´m also running on 1.0.1 version, and want the multitouch app. Do i have to re root after the update? or is there any form to do the firmware update and keep the root and apps i already add? Which is the best way of doing it?
thanks for the help!

1.2.1 NST multi-touch
I used GlowNooter to (re) root my non-glow Nook Simple Touch. Mine had recently received the 1.2.1 version software update.
The Glownooter uses the 'CWM' method, and if that is followed you already know how to install the multitouch -- just put the new zipfile on your root card and go through that part again.
I don't know how to install norefresh on 1.2.1. Asking here

I found this version worked perfectly for 1.2.1:

Still no muti-touch

Hey Guys,
I still have no multi-touch capability, I think. I opened Opera Mini, but cannot zoom. I used TouchNooter to root my NST (with the uImage from arkusuma), then used Android Commander to change the permissions to include the above. Everything else seems to work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Kevin

Starting over...
Okay, I have restored the Nook to its original state by using the backup image I took before as in these instructions:
"How to Backup and Restore Nook Glow and Simple Touch"
Now, I'm going to try again. I think I do this, aftter registering the Nook:
1. Root the Nook via these instructions: nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch/Rooting
2. Load a copy of Noogie on a uDisk.
3. Copy uImage from the first post onto the Noogie disk, replacing the old one.
4. Power down the Nook.
5. Insert Noogie disk into the Nook.
6. Boot Nook.
7. Remove the uDisk.
8. Reboot the Nook.
9. Edit permissions to include the multitouch lines in the first post here.
Am I missing something? One of my steps wrong? Please tell me. I'm on my fifth attempt!

First you need to make a choice whether you want to go with 1.1.X or 1.2.X
Are you running UK or US?
If you want to go 1.1.X route then follow these excellent instructions here (touchnooter root method)
If you are UK user you will end up with US setup.
If you want to go 1.2.X route then use these instructions here (NookManager)
If you are a UK user then get the 1.2.1 update from here
Okey your rooted.
Rather than mess around with sd cards in and out you have access to a PC you can use ADB to upgrade the kernel.
Step 1: install adb on your pc
Step 2: click adb wireless on your nook
Step 3: on pc command prompt type 'adb connect <ip address
ortnumber printed on nook>StepX:
Remember you need to rename uImage.img to be uImage with no extension.
Use esfileexplorer or root explorer (with superuser permissions activated) to navigate to /etc/system/permission/required_hardware.xml
Add " <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />"
Hit Save. Open file again make sure changes happened if not your editor needs superuser permission.
Reboot.
You have multitouch.

One more question: Is there an advantage to either 1.1 or 1.2?
Thanks!

If you can do ADB into your nook (i.e. using adbWireless):
adb connect <nook-ip-address>
adb push uImage /media
adb shell
mkdir /media/boot
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /media/boot
cp /media/uImage /media/boot
umount /media/boot
rmdir /media/boot
rm /media/uImage4
All my 1.1.5 kernels (http://code.google.com/p/nst-recovery/downloads/list) have the Glow-Light driver included. You should use uImage1_1_5_multitouch if you just want multitouch, or uImage_mt_usbhost_nopowercheck_115.zip if you also want usb-host-capability (this one may drain your battery).
