[Q] Can I use the stock B&N reading app after using Autonooter?

I'm not able to post in the development forum in order to reply to the original post, so I figured I would post here.
If I use auto-nooter (NC version 1.1.0), would I be able to read my books using the stock B&N app? Or would I be forced to use the nook app from the Android Market?
I've been using Honeycomb off of my SD card, but I dont want to have to restart my NC everytime I want to check my gmail or something like that.
I want to use auto-nooter because its easy and I dont have a lot of adb experience. I was lucky to get my NC recognized on my computer via USB when installing the Android Market on Honeycomb.
Would my home screen look like the default homescreen or would it look like an android homescreen? Would all my apps, etc. be in the "extras" folder?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. That is what Autonooter is designed to do. Give you root/busybox etc on the B&N stock ROM. I've used it on 1.0.0, 1.0.1 and now 1.1.0. I've loaded a different Home screen launcher (Zeam) in order to get more out of the homescreens as the stock B&N is locked for purchased media only. Zeam gives a fairly large dock to hold a bunch of apps. Otherwise opening the app drawer or "extras" after hitting the softkey should get you to the installed applications.

The stock library and reader apps work fine. As a bonus, you can add the Amazon Kindle for Android app and directly read .mobi's as well. Also means that you can use the Amazon store.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Can you link me to the version of autonooter you used for your NC version 1.1.0? Just want to make sure I'm using the correct one.
Also, is it possible to completely unroot the NC and bring it back to full factory settings if anything ever happens?
Thanks!

Yes and yes. See the threads in the dev forum. You want AutoNooter 3.0.0

To restore to stock there are a couple threads that cover that with a couple different methods:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
Read through each thread and figure out which one you feel more comfortable with.
AN3 link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942424
The above link is actually a re-worked AN2.X for 1.0.1 which was re-worked to work with 1.1.0. It is not an "Official" Autonooter team release. An official AN3 release is pending and when that happens you can evaluate it as you would any other piece of software.
Hope that helps!

Great, thanks a lot!

Another question, i just downloaded angry birds seasons. I played it but it isn't showing up in the extras.
Where would i be able to find it?

Reboot for it to show up under Extras. Otherwise, if you're using an alternate launcher, it should show up immediately in the app drawer.

I suspect that it's not going to be fixed in the BN ROM until BN opens their own app store.
The default launcher sucks, anyway. LauncherPRO & ADW are available from the Market, and seem to be the most popular among NC users (from what I can tell, anyway).

This may seem odd, but I have the opposite question... Can I use the Nook app from the Market with Autonooter? I've got everything setup, and the Nook app doesn't seem to work (I wanted to use it so I could use the Nook account my wife and I share, but still have the device registered to myself). Thanks!

[Q] Flash not working on CM07

Hello XDA, this is my first post, as searching has answered all my questions until now.
I installed cm07 builds 13 and 14 several times over the last two days and can't seem to get flashplayer to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone as far as to completely formatting my internals before reinstalling and nothing is working. I'm currently running cm07 build 14 with dalingrin's kernal. I appreciate any help.

Anybody? Please.....

What are you trying to do? what website are you going to and what browser are you using?

I had same problem
Used root explorer, set data/app to rw and renamed flash.apk to flash.apk.bak
Rebooted, downloaded flash from market
It works now

Thanks for the responses.
I just tried renaming rebooting and downloading and it didn't help.
When I go to www YouTube com and click on a video, I always get the same error message: cannot play video. It does it on both HQ and standard video.
Not sure what else it can be other than flashplayer. It used to work fine on Nookie Froyo ...

I was under the impression that flash not working on CM7 was a known issue that they were working on. I would imagine it will be fixed in a matter of days.

Not from everything I've read. Flash is supposed to work and apps like YouTube are are the ones they are working on.

Flash works in browser only. My experience is that it is a little choppy for video though.

Download dolphin HD and then download desktop toggles for dolphin enable desktop mode then go to YouTube.

Ok, I'm a newb. I changed YouTube to desktop setting and it worked. Hopefully someone can learn from my newbness! Thanks for the help Ry!

I used Browser, went to www.youtube.com and it automatically changed it to mobile. Finally, I found a setting marked Desktop and the result was typeface that required an electron microscope to read (even zooming did not help much).
I found a video and the result was "You need to install Flash 10.1" and a link to do which required the world's smallest finger not to click on the ad right below.
Finally got it installed and Flash works in Youtube Desktop in Browser, but video still does not work in Youtube Android App

you got it. youtube app does not work with cm7 yet because they do not have hardware video acceleration working. I think this is posted at least 1000 times
an easier way to get flash is to download it from the market.

Dolphin browser

Hi

V9.0.0 great to me. i will continue testing this version. and let you know how it works.

Dolphin worked good for a while then nothing but crashes, now I use Holoweb, it's great no crashes.

Does holoweb enable desktop pages only, I hate mobile websites. Also flash is a must. I tried 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 and both crash frequently. The last version before 9.0.0 also crashed.

Biggest problem for Atrix HD. Solution?

Given 4.1.1 is probably going to be the very last update for AT&T Atrix HD users (Bell guys are lucky with the 4.1.2!), what are we gonna do about this bug? Are we stuck with this problem for good?
In 4.1.1 whenever you switch your default keyboard to any other keyboard (say, SwiftKey or even Swype), the third party keyboard gets disabled on reboot and the OS will switch to the default/stock keyboard. This is not the end of problems.
There is the annoying status bar notification for changing input methods every time the keyboard opens. The only way to disable this from popping up is to have only one active input method. Given the stock keyboard cannot be unchecked in settings, the only way to have only one keyboard that you want (say, SwiftKey for example) is to freeze/disable the stock keyboard app leaving SwiftKey as the only available input method.
Normally, this would work fine. But in 4.1.1, because the OS disables the third party keyboard and tries to reset back to the default keyboard on reboot, when it can't find it, goes into a crash loop leaving factory reset from the recovery as the only option of making the phone usable.
Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this particular conundrum?

Here is the solution I have found:
-install swiftkey from market
-use titanium backup root to backup the app
-uninstall the app
-restore backup (app only)
However, this is only a workaround and every time SwiftKey app or language updates, the OS disables SwiftKey on reboot and defaults to the stock keyboard. So, don't disable the stock keyboard for now unless you want to risk a factory reset every time SwiftKey app or data updates through the market. This workaround also doesn't address the problem of having the annoying input devices prompt in the status bar every time you use the keyboard.
More ingenious ideas / suggestions welcome.

I have 4.1.1 and use swype as my keyboard. It has never once switched back to the default keyboard on a reboot. I have not having this issue at all.

I have 4.1.1 on my Atrix HD and I use SwiftKey 3. Never had this problem.

Did you install SwiftKey 3 from the Play Store before you upgraded from ICS to JB OTA? If yes, that is expected.
But if you installed the app afresh in JB or updated the app or language after you had upgraded to JB, you would have this problem.

Swiftkey Flow, Swype, Swype Beta 1.3, Smart Keyboard Pro...everything works fine without having the issue you're facing!

Like mentioned on the link above, a lot of people are facing. Did you install them all afresh in 4.1.1?
Try uninstalling all of them from the Play Store today, reinstall them again from the Play Store and see if it still works.

This is a confirmed issue for all paid apps in 4.1.1.
Google has, however, corrected it in 4.1.2.

Only fix is to run a custom rom.

The Economist app crashes: how to trick it into phone layout?

On my 7.7, with CM9, The Economist app always crashes when I swipe to the next page in an article. However, on my S3 phone, with CM10, the app works fine: the phone layout presents each article as one long text, you only swipe at the end to move to the next article. No swiping inside articles, so predictably no crashes, and successful swiping between articles.
Is there any way to trick The Economist app into treating the 7.7 as a phone instead of tablet? I hope that will solve the problem.
If anyone has a different solution, or knows more accurately what causes the problem, please share.
As this is my first post, let me say: thank you all for sharing your findings and improvements to make good Androids even better.

Solved: After reverting to 4.0.4 with the official Samsung fw (Open Austria), the Economist app works.
I first tried installing Paranoid (2.53 then 2.55), to force the Phone layout on the app, but that blocked the app from installing. Same problem with CM10.1.
If anyone gets the Economist app to work on 4.2, please post. Until then I'm staying with 4.0.4.
