Setting up root access on NST through adb and installing busybox:
  • Download java JKD http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
  • Download the android sdk (I recommend zipped) and extract it on C so that it looks like C:/android-sdk-windows
  • Open the SDK manager and update it, install for example the 2.1 platform, etc, it will automatically create /platform-tools
  • Download Superuser (http://nookdevs.com/images/a/a9/Superuser.zip), su (http://nookdevs.com/images/e/e0/Su.zip), and busybox (http://bit.ly/s1s7FZ or http://benno.id.au/android/busybox), extract them on C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
  • Connect your NST to your home Wi-Fi, and check its ip.
  • Open cmd and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb install Superuser.apk
    adb push su /data/local/
    adb shell
    cd /system/bin
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    cat /data/local/su > su
    chmod 6755 su
    reboot
  • Now we will install buysbox.
  • Close cmd and reopen it, When your nook reboots type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    exit
    exit
    adb push busybox /data/local
    adb shell
    su
    cd /system
    mkdir /system/xbin
    cd /data/local
    chmod 755 busybox
    /data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
    cd /system/xbin
    chmod 755 busybox
    ./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
    rm /data/local/busybox
    reboot

Improve battery life (testing)
As the Nook Touch hasn't got a overclocking kernel, and isn't near, as it isn't convenient to change or modify the cpu governor (it works in an unusual way), as I don't like too many apks bloating my nook, there is something that seems to be working for me, underclocking it manually of course :).
The Nook has 3 stock frequencys, 300, 600, 800, and a deepsleep state.
As this small monster is just an ereader, and the refresh rates of eink are painfully slow I didn't find the need for it going all the way to 800mhz I did this small trick:
  • Make a backup up clrbootcount.sh.
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb pull /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
    Now lets modify it:
    Code:
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    echo "echo 300000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" >> /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
    adb reboot
  • Check to see if the process was succesfull by typing this on cmd:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
  • To return back to stock file, restore the file you backed up by pushing it back or use:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    sed -i '/echo/d' /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
    reboot
  • If the output is 300000, then it worked and now your nook won't go all the way to 800mhz, if you want to limit it to 600mhz, just change 300000 to 600000.

Backup bookmarks and annotations (Haven't tried it yet)
  • Bookmarks and annotations are saved in /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/
  • To backup them open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    exit
    adb pull /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/ /bookmarks
  • To restore them after a reset open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    exit
    adb push /bookmarks /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/

Enable non market app installs:

  • Download sqlite3 (http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-shell-win32-x86-3070900.zip) and extract it on C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    Open cmd and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell 
    mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    exit
    adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
    sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';"
    adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Installing XorZone's B&N button modifier (Jars for 1.1, for other system versions check thread)(as I call it)
  • Download the jars (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=781948&d=1321243370) and NookTouchTools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=750222&d=1318646585) and extract the zips on C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools. (Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289894)
  • Then backup the original jars onto the SD-card.
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    cp -p /system/framework/android.policy.jar /sdcard
    cp -p /system/framework/services.jar /sdcard
    exit
  • Then let’s push the new ones in place and install NookTouchTools:
    Code:
    adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/
    adb push services.jar /system/framework/
    adb install NookTouchTools-1.0b2.apk
  • This can also be done by Nooktouchtools, but this is a manual thread, so now we will delete calvick-cache and fix permissions:
    Code:
    adb shell
    mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    chown root.root /system/framework/*
    chmod 644 /system/framework/*
    rm -R /data/dalvik-cache/*
    reboot
  • Now open NookTouchTools and modify settings as you wish.

Change the powered off screen image
  • First, let’s make a copy of the original apk.
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
  • You will find this file on C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools.
  • Make a copy of the file and open it with 7zip (download it if you don’t have it http://www.7-zip.org/).
  • Look for and open res\drawable-mdpi\
  • Search for cold_boot_screen.png and replace it for whatever 800x600 image you want.
  • Search for cold_battery_low_boot_screen.png and again replace it for whatever 800x600 image you want.
  • Save the modified apk on C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
  • Then we have to push the new file and fix permissions.
    Code:
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    exit
    adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
    adb shell
    chown root.root /system/framework/*
    chmod 644 /system/framework/*
    rm -R /data/dalvik-cache/*
    reboot
  • If you have problems pushing the framework-res.apk because the NST reboots, or hangs, use this zip (http://nooter.googlecode.com/files/RestoreFramework.zip) in conjunction with CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=806435&d=1323121399). (Keep reading)
  • You must:
    Open the zip and drop your original or modifyed framework-res.apk in /system/framework, inside the zip.
    Copy it to the SD card where you have burnt CWM and flash it through it.
  • If you see any strange behavior restore your backed up copy.
  • On this post, there are some nice pictures to use, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17822468&postcount=9, I modified them a bit, making them 16 bit grayscale and 800x600, see attachments..

Blocking OTA updates:
To prevent future automatic updating and unrooting you can block OTA updates.
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb pull /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db devicemanager.db
    sqlite3 devicemanager.db
    sqlite> update registry set value='manual' where name='com.bn.device.fota.mode';
    sqlite> .q
    adb push devicemanager.db /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db
    adb reboot

Installing Gapps (+launcher, etc)

Market FULLY functional, My apps tab working and updating correctly, proof: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19602755&postcount=76
PC android market webpage working, proof:

0019lfm.jpg
dark_hawk's exprience.
Sinttulo2.png
My experience.

New packages, deleted all the unneeded, apks, not needed libraries, jars, etc.
You have four options:
Minimal Touch (Core Gapps (http://bit.ly/rQ3YNn))
Minimal Touch + NookColorTools (http://bit.ly/vUwXeb)
Minimal Touch + Extras (Core Gapps + Launcher + theme + Button savior + NookColorTools(http://bit.ly/skgHhe))

Everything is functional, Gmail, Gtalk, Market.
Instructions:
  • For this process to work, you will need to install busybox, so search for Setting up root access on NST through adb and installing busybox and go directly to installing busybox if you come from another method of installing Gapps.
  • Download Minimal Touch + Extras if you haven't got a launcher installed, and extract it on the C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools (root)
  • Download Minimal Touch if you already have a launcher installed, and extract it on the C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools (root)
  • First, make a backup of the files we will modify:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system 
    adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar
    adb pull /data/system/packages.xml
    adb pull /system/build.prop
    exit
    exit
  • Second, lets start with the install process.
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system 
    exit
    exit
    adb push data /data
    adb push system /system
  • If the NST reboots before finishing the process, it may happen, start again where you left it.
  • Now lets fix permissions and ownership.

    Code:
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    chown system.system /data/app/*
    chmod 644 /data/app/*
    chmod 644 /system/app/*
    chmod 644 /system/etc/permissions/*
    chmod 644 /system/framework/*
    chmod 644 /system/lib/*.so
    reboot
  • When the NST reboots select adw launcher as your predefined launcher (If you haven't already), log in on YouTube (click settings, my channel) and log in the Gmail account you used on YouTube, both accounts must be the same.
    It will fail to sync and force close.
  • Open Cmd and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    sed -i '/uid.system/,/perms/{/uid.system/b;/perms/b;d}' /data/system/packages.xml
    reboot
  • Gmail should already work and sync.
  • Open Cmd and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    echo "ro.config.nocheckin=no" >> /system/build.prop
    reboot
  • Let android fully load.
  • Open Market, it will try to connect, if it can't retry until it does (it will), if it doesn’t, you haven’t got the Wi-Fi on :p.
  • Market should be fully functional now.
  • After this, manually by deleting it and its data, or through your launcher, or through Nook Color Tools, you can unistall YouTube.apk, it is no longer needed, and autostarts everytime wasting resources.
  • Now lets make protected apps show in market
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    sed -i 's/^.*ro.build.fingerprint.*$/ro\.build\.fingerprint=verizon\/voles\/sholes\/sholes:2\.1-update1\/ESE81\/29593:user\/release-keys/' /system/build.prop
    reboot
  • Protected apps wont appear inmediatly, the market must check your new fingerprint and that happens at midnight, so you can wait 1 day or:
  • Check you have correctly changed the fingerprint, change the time to 23:50 on your Nook Touch and wait till "midnight" wait a bit more, and protected apps should appear.

    rm -R /sytem/xbin
    reboot


    Erasing and restoring:
    After this, if what you want is to have a clean nook and you didnt make a backup before rooting you have to:
  3. Use nookRestore to restore /system (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289233), or using adb do:
    Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
    reboot
  4. Use on settings, device, Erase and Deregistered to wipe /data
    (If it doesn’t let you, force it shutting down your nook, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds).
  5. Update to 1.1 (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/)

Making the manual process LESS PAINFULL

  • To not have to open each time CMD, and go typing cd C/.... and connect yourNSTip make a small batch file like this:
    Open notepad type:
    Code:
    @echo off
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb kill-server
    adb connect yourNSTip
    cmd
  • Save the file as .bat, or change the extension when saved.
  • Now each time you reboot in the proces, instead of opening CMD and typing cd ..... and adb connect.... just open this file and star copying command right away :)

  • If you see any strange behavior restore your backed up copy.
  • On this post, there are some nice pictures to use, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17822468&postcount=9, I modified them a bit, making them smaller in size, 16 bit grayscale and 800x600 here is the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PD94ZJK9.

So, I did all that, but I'm stuck at the loading screen (the one with 5 dots doing stuff).

Any ideas?

So, I did all that, but I'm stuck at the loading screen (the one with 5 dots doing stuff).

Any ideas?

I've also tried to restore the orig framework-res.apk, but nothing.

I hate you..... (not really :p)
Read the first page:
"Please, dont post on this thread, continue to use [NST]MinimalTouch 1.1beta5"

Anyway :)
It works, I've modded it myself, try to fix the the permissions:

chmod 644 /system/framework/*

What images did you use?

Please lets continue this conversation on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748
Or through PM, id like to use this thread only to add more tutos, or correct the ones I allready have.

Edit,
didnt read you allready did that.
So after restoring the original file, you still have problems?
Try to force shut it down, and start it again, or try to erase dalvik cache, and reboot (if you can acces adb, if not I'll make you an CWM zip)

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

Skip OOBE:

On the first screen that appears on the NST without tapping any button.
1.Hold the right top button and move your finger from left to right on the top of the screen.
2.The factory button will appear at the bottom right of the screen, tap it.
3.Hold again the right top button and tap the right bottom part of the screen, where the factory button appeared
4.A button labeled skip oobe will appear, tap it, your done

Improve battery life (testing)
As the Nook Touch hasn't got a overclocking kernel, and isn't near, as it isn't convenient to change or modify the cpu governor (it works in an unusual way), as I don't like too many apks bloating my nook, there is something that seems to be working for me, underclocking it manually of course :).
The Nook has 3 stock frequencys, 300, 600, 800, and a deepsleep state.
As this small monster is just an ereader, and the refresh rates of eink are painfully slow I didn't find the need for it going all the way to 800mhz I did this small trick:
  • Make a backup up clrbootcount.sh.
  • Open CMD and type:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb pull /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
    Now lets modify it:
    Code:
    adb shell
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
    echo "echo 300000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" >> /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
    adb reboot
  • Check to see if the process was succesfull by typing this on cmd:
    Code:
    cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
    adb connect yourNSTip
    adb shell
    cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
  • To return back to stock file, restore the file you backed up by pushing it back or use:
  • If the output is 300000, then it worked and now your nook won't go all the way to 800mhz, if you want to limit it to 600mhz, just change 300000 to 600000.
Have you done any actual benchmarkings on this? Usually trickery like this actually make degrades battery performance because the slower the computations is done the less time is spent in deep sleep. Most of the time the device should be in deep sleep but whenever something need to be done, it should be done as quickly as is possible.

Anyway I like your guides. I just got everything up and running exactly as I want without a bunch of crappy useless apps installed. Market as well. Something the automated methods doesn't handle at all well :)

¬¬ please dont reply on this thread.... do it on the thread which I point out on the first post.

I did some testing, and it did last longer when being used, it lasted the same on sleep, I never turn it off, but didnt really do any real benchmarking so its just my impression.

I'm glad this manual tutos are still being used and found usefull ^^
