Not sure where along the way they stopped working but my children's book are no longer readable on my rooted Nook. Im going to totally reset it and go through the process again to see where they broke. I'm guessing it may have to do with the fact that I updated Adobe air and I believe some of the kids books use that. I will let everyone know what I find.
the children's books that come with it work fine on my rooted nook.
Did you upgrade Adobe Air afterward?
It is def a result of upgrading Adobe Air. I just factory reset and rooted and children's book worked fine. I upgraded Adobe Air and they broke. Any who has a need for children's books should not upgrade that package.
do the magazines still work on a rooted nook?
edit: Nevermind, it is early in the morning. I was thinking a nook running a different version of android.
Magazines work still; kid's books no so much
Can someone post the Adobe Air here. I didn't notice its missing(?) til this thread.
I think this is my pre-upgrade APK... you might wanna double check the file size versus the upgrade APK.
Works Great!

This didnt work for me.
Should I be using adb to install this?
Or can I install from dropbox?
It also asks me if I want to replace a system application.
I say yes. But I dont know if it is doing anything
I answered my own question.
I used adb
adb install -r AirRuntime.apk
adb reboot
Now the children;s books are working great.. and my wife and kid love me again.

The market never showed me an upgrade for adobe air (the alternate market did, but that just shows you anything new, not in particular compatible with your unit)..

Has anybody had issues with the children's books on rooted stock Froyo update from B&N?
I tried the older Adobe-Air APK in this thread but it didn't help. The problem I am running into is with the children's book with the extra features. It is tricky to turn the pages, the tap or tap and swipe seems very sensitive but will work. The books will still read to you, but the newer books with "extra features" you can never seem to tap on the feature icon. It always misses it and turns the page forward or back.
Stock Rom, Softkeys installed, and Zeam launcher. I am not sure if I still need softkeys installed, Zeam is set to default launcher on physical home key press and I bring up the B&N home screen via the App I found on the forum here. I can also bring up the app via Softkeys --> Home button.
(I'd like to uninstall softkeys if I no longer need it due to the app i found that will launch B&N home screen. I was unable to get the double press home screen button to work with softkeys, hence using app to launch it is much quicker)
Any info or hints to try would be great.
Thanks

There were some problems if you used MN 4.5.6 or earlier. The fix was rolled into MN 4.5.25, or you can try this
I ended up flashing the stock 1.2 Froyo rom and then re-rooting with MN 4.5.25 and they are working again.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey guys,
Currently running CM7 RC4 on my emmc. I was thinking about going back to the stock firmware, because I'd like to use the B&N functionality in store.
I have seen a lot of nice themes on rooted stock. I was wondering if anyone could point me to how people go about adding a custom launcher and homescreen? Is it as simple as installing ADW or Launcher Pro?
I've noticed that a lot of the time they are able to keep the stock pull up menu on the bottom of the screen, with a appdrawer launcher immediately above it.
Thanks for the input!

I've read a number of posts indicating no success with in store reading with a rooted nook, stock or otherwise. It appears it may only work with a non-rooted stock OS nook.

Not true. There is a thread here that shows how to do it with BN 1.1.0 and rooted with auto-nooter 3.0
Hmm...browsing the forum it appears that a lot of rooted users do indeed still have access to in store features. Therefore, my original question is still pertinent for me. But thank you for the warning, I appreciate it!

I can do everything in the store with my autonooted 3.0 Nook Color, including 1 hour in-store browsing of titles.
I've got all sorts of stuff installed on my NC, too.

Pretty much. What I did is basically what's outlinked on the nookdevs site:
1) Installed custom launcher of my choice (ADW originally but switched to LP because it's so much smoother/quicker for me.)
2) Used home switcher to set soft keys as the default launcher
3) In Soft keys set it so your custom launcher is the default launcher. (I also have SK setup so one click gives me "home" and two gives me the soft keys.)
The stock pull up menu is still there and works for accessing the stock B&N stuff, but for the most part it looks and works like a normal android device.
As for the in-store stuff. It sounds like the problem is with B&N still having some issues with in-store setup to support the NC at some stores as people have also been reporting the same problems with stock non-rooted NC's.
I use Zeam, without softkeys, as the stock notification bar has all of that functionality.
Zeam is a tiny bit buggy on the NC though. Anyone know how to set a different launcher as default?
Install another home launcher and home switcher. Hit the N button and it should ask which launcher to start with. Make sure you check the box so it will set that as the default launcher and launch the one you want to be your default.

Hey everyone, hope to get some help here. I put 1.2 ont he wifes Nook the other day, then last night decided to go ahead and root it. However, using Home Switcher, I accidentally set Home a default instead of Zeam.
I can't seem to find a simple process to clear that default setting from the Nook Home launcher. Can anyone help?

Run Home Switcher again.
Thanks, but I can't seem to do that from the stock home screen, it isn't in the apps list.
If you can get back into the market, install another launcher, or uninstall then reinstall zeam. That should reset the first home button press to select launcher.
If he is on 1.2 non bn apps.do not show up in their launcher.
If you happen to have.softkeys running just get into.the setting.of softkeys and change home buttom.option

yeah, that was what I was thinking. I tried to download softkeys last night from here, but 1.2 won't recognize the file type. Guess I will try again later.
If you can get into the Applications Settings screen, you can clear defaults on the home launcher and that should do it.
Same problem...
I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over...

If you rooted, then you should have Nook Color tools in your apps. Go to Nook Color Tools>Settings>Manage Applications and find Zeam. Then clear the defaults and back out of the application. You should be able to make a choice between "Home" and "Zeam" as your launcher when you press the Nook button.

With the MN root for 1.2, the B&N Apps button/screen only show the B&N apps, tho... I'm hoping once 1.2 rooting is further along we'll see all of our Apps, but not at this point. I'm still hoping there is some way to do this, so I don't have to start over.
I ran into this same thing. To fix it, going through your web browser and install an APK for something launcher related. This will make android bring up the "Default Launcher" prompt the next time you press the 'N' button.
Try something like this, get back into Zeam, and uninstall it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827288
Edit: If you can browse to the Zeam, Soft Keys or Home Switcher APKs, I suppose you could reinstall and that would also bring up the prompt.

I wasn't sure if I was going to get any ideas, so decided to go ahead and start over, so I'm back to stock now and updating to 1.2, then will be MN again. I did take a quick look at the link you provided, tho, and must not have read through it closely enough, because it didn't jump out at me what I would have done. It was a post about phones, but I assume that was okay.
When you say to go through my Web browser and install an APK. How would I have done that? Using the browser on the NC, can you install applications from market.android.com? I didn't think you could...
I'm back MN rooted now...get to reinstall all my apps and fun stuff! Boo! I won't do THAT again!
On a semi unrelated note, has anyone else noticed significant lag when panning through the app drawer using zeam? Using phiremod cm7 I switched to adw (stock) launcher and it seems so much smoother even though I'm not clocking it as fast (1.1 to 800 MHz) which I found extremely odd

For some reason ZEAM's app drawer does lag on all versions of the BN software thats rooted. It has been seen by many users here. If you try launcher pro much better app drawer and totally smooth even more than the stock app drawer that comes with android operating system. Although I beleive you cannot do specific things using launcher pro that you can do with zeam!
I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over...
How did you get your N button to set as physical home? Are you using Soft-keys? In 1.2 so far I have not managed to engage the N button at all to go HOME. Ended up locking the Soft-key HOME icon in the Taskbar to get out of BN screen.
Easy fix, from home launcher: search, then just search for Zeam or what ever app you have installed. With search history on it could even be considered a crude app tray.
do a search, apps should come up in the search list and you can access the launcher from there.
Haven't experienced Zeam lag...

Thanks! Definitely good to know should I get in that situation zgain. So simple, but didn't occur to me.
I just installed CM 7.0.0 using ROM manager on a nook color that was previously running manualnooter. When I rebooted i got the initial Nook phrase, then the screen went almost black. At first, I thought it was locked up. However, I came back to the NC a few minutes later and pressed the N button and low and behold everything was there.
I rebooted a second time to see if it did it again. It did. Notification is telling me the start up time was 44 sec though it seemed like longer.
Can anyone tell me how to get the animation back and maybe what happened to it? Thanks
I can confirm this issue with a friends device.
She bought her nook color with firmware 1.1 pre installed and 1.2 was just released, so I did a manual update and tested it. Then put my sd with rom manager and flashed a cm7 nightly (cant remember which) + gapps + 1.3 OC kernel.
Its exactly the same issue and I want to add that it gives the sensation it is doing nothing, so you may press random buttons and suddenly you are able to unlock the device after some time.
When I get the chance I will install a newer version, or maybe this awesome cm7 build for kernel .32 I'm using on my device, and report to you guys.
Any ideas?

Same Issue
I have the same issue, except I previously used autorooter instead of manual rooting. Any suggestions?
I've had issues with the boot animation not working before as well - it all seems to depend on the exact combination of ROM, kernel and (maybe not) google apps. With the latest CM7 nightly for Nook Color, the Dalingrin OC emmc kernel from 5/23 and the google apps from 03/07, the boot animation works fine.
The previous combination that I used - CM7 7.0.3 stable, older OC kernel and same Google apps didn't give me the boot animation...
Besides all of the that, the combination I listed above seems to give the best overall experience as well (at least so far). Everything works perfectly without any lag anywhere! Try it out...
Well, I went ahead and istalled CM7 7.0.2 stable and got the animation back. Now my problem is the little apps icon that appears at the bottom of the home screen is missing. The only way I can get to my apps is to open Marketplace and go to MY apps. They are there and seem to work. Can someone help me get the Apps icon back? Thanks
I figured I might fix this by installing a different launcher, so I installed Zeam Launcher. It seems to work oK. However, the original ADW launcher is still missing the My Apps icon in the lower box.
I tought perhaps if I reinstalled ADW, it work repair the problem. I did that and now I have two entries for ADW when I press the N key. One works fine but the other still has the missing icon.
I then decided that maybe I could uninstall the one giving me a problem. When I went to Android Assistant to uninstall ADW, I only saw one entry.
So, my question now is how to get rid of the extra ADW install. Thanks
Or how to get the my apps icon back in the main Dock at the bottom
Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has an annoying side effect since jb in that in a large number of apps since i have upgraded the back button cause a double tap specifically in forum apps. So for example pressing back once will go back 2menu items or if there aren't2 left to go back then the app will reload itself, i have to Say it is quite annoying! Worth stating that it happens even when using the in app back function too

apps in question are avforums and hotukdeals (there are 2 separate apps I have tried) doesnt do it in all apps and doesnt do it in browser so not really sure what is happening but certainly only started when i installed the leaked jb and also with the official one.
