ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though

We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...

Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.

Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.

Here it Is
http://droiddeveloper.com/com.amazon.mp3.zip
enjoy it works for me...

Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.

I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA

Read my guide

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial

Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?

I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.

Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?

Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.

I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.

[Q] Just rooted my Nc, have a few questions.

as a new Android user (the Nc is my first android device), im still a bit of a no0b. I just recently rooted using auto-nooter 1.0.1
a few questions, i have though.
before i rooted, my Nc updated itself to 1.1 , i then had to downgrade using stuff i found here. is there anyway i can keep it from updating itself other than turning wifi on/off?
and now that im rooted, this is the one thing that bothered me on stock. but, is there a way i can put other stuff other than B&N stuff on my homescreen? such as books i loaded myself and/or apps i downloaded from the market?
thanks for any help.

also, i use to add books via calibre, now when i add books it sends them to "my files" rather than adds them to the books list, and they dont end up showing on the "keep reading" button.
any ideas?

Congratz! Hope you like your rooted NC.
The first thing you can do is get a replacement laucher. that's the "interface" you interact with.. I recommend you try Zeam. It works very well and it's free. But you could try others such as LauncherPro, GoLauncer, etc.. Be sure to get Home Switcher first. You should be able to get all those from Market. Zeam will allow you to put shortcuts, widgets, and other stuff except folders.. You can also get a clock & weather widget such as Beatiful Widgets to make your homescreen nice and pretty. I also like to remap the Vol keys to back and menu, instead of using Softkeys, but that's up to you..
To prevent your NC from receiving OTA updates, you can look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932506
But I recommend you get Rom Manager then install Clockwork Mod and then update to 1.1 via this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
Be sure to understand everything you are going to do first, but also rest easy in knowing that it's almost impossible to brick your NC, so worst outcome is that you might lose everything and have to start all over. Once you get Clockwork Mod installed, you can make a "nandroid" backup. It's highly recommended you do that before anything else..
As for the books.. sorry.. I don't use my nook to read books so I'm not familiar with calibre...
Well, enjoy!

cool thanks. i curently only have a small 2gb card. my Wintec 16Gb i bought is giving me problems and wont format. so i guess ill have to wait to do the rom thing.

2GB SD card is enough.. You only need 200MB free to store the NookColor_v1.1.0_r2.zip
Did you use your 16GB with the autonooter? You can regain full use by doing the following:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Format_and_partition_your_SD_card_back_to_a_usable_state
Or use a free partition manager such as EASUS, http://www.partition-tool.com/ to resize and reformat the partions..

oops, so i deleted my youtube app. anyway to get it back? like i said im an android no0b, and since it was crashing i figured i could just re-install it from the market. but i deleted it first.

Yes, that's probably the fastest way to do it. Just download the .zip file from a computer into your Nookcolor's micro SD card then boot into Clockwork Mod, either from ROM Manager or by pressing power + n, for 3 seconds after you see the boot up text..
The important thing here is to have ROM Manager and Clockwork mod installed 1st. Then make a backup then install.. select pick .zip from SD card, find the .zip file then flash..
Good luck!

Try if you can format it with the partition tool...

[Q] noob questions

I have never used anything android before and just want to make sure before I decide anything.
Rooting will delete anything currently on my NC Correct? So all my books will be gone Right? Second, will I be able to reconnect to my account and re-download my books?
I have a stock NC with 1.1.0 and want to root so I can tweak the cpu and make it work with ad hoc so I can connect it to my phone, but I want to make sure that I can still access tn b&n shop, plus maybe get angry birds or something... ;-)

For rooting 1.1, one quick option is the unofficial auto-nooter 3.0 in the Development forum. I would consult the nook devs website and follow their instructions for version 1.01. They are a bit more clear about how to go about things. Look around at the other options to see if you might prefer them instead.
I don't think auto-nooter will clear your data. Consult the nook devs page to double check.
Auto-nooter will definitely allow you to get angry birds and the like.
Truthfully cannot help you with the rest, sorry.
And thats my first XDA post. I sincerely hope this helped and that I didn't get anything wrong. A little new to this myself, but I wanted to contribute.

If you use the AutoNooter 3.0 it will not Delete anything on your internal memory for your Nook color. However you will need to use a SD card to write the Nooter to and anything on that SD card will be erased so back it up first. you will still be able to use all the features of the Nook Color after rooting Except For the "In Store" Features such as reading a book free for a hour. but syncing your library and buying from the online store will not be effected.

I suggest you leave your nook in stock rom (not root); and get a fast SD card for running froyo latest build. What rooting gives to you are market and admin access. You can have that from froyo.

flash
hi, i installed autonooter 3.0 now and I was wondering if is there anyway to install flash player to work with this rooted version?

I'd rather not spend money on another SD card. I only have a 4GB class 2 (barebones I know) but I do want to keep the stock, but want to adjust the cpu to make things a little smoother and allow the adhoc for my phone as I don't have wirelss at work. Other than that I love my Nook the way it is so no real need for froyo IMO. As for the in-store options..I have never brought my nook into a B&N lol, so I didn't even know there were in-store options lol.

I would suggest a higher class SD Card. There have been "reports" of low class SD cards not working...not sure where these are...but they have the warnings. They are there for a reason.
I like my root with 1.01 BN Update. I am preparing to un root and apply BN Update 1.1 along with AutoNooter 3.0 over the weekend. I am happy with out Froyo and I am still one of the odd balls that still uses this as its intended purpose...an E-Reader lol
AutoNooter 3.0 is build on Android Eclair 2.1...there is no flash support for this OS. If you want flash support, search the forums here Froyo options to get flash.
Good Luck

I too like this as my eReader. I used autonooter 3 last night (on a class 2 card) and all went well. I now have access to the market and my gmail and such...not sure what super user does but it is there lol.
How do I sideload an .apk?

Okay something else weird has happened now. When I click NookColor Tools it just brings me to the regular settings menu...
edit: nm reboot fixed it.

new question....How do I edit permissions for folders and such so I can copy/paste an apk into system\app? I don't have root explorer (that is the apk I am trying to move) and I can't get ADB working...I am using the Free version of Astro Filemanager.

I rooted my 1.1.0 and did not lose anything I had on my Nook. I used AutoNooter 3. I bought a class 4 4gb PNY brand microSDHC with adapter and a USB SD card reader. After the root, I reformatted the microSD card to use for the Nook. I am now debating about changing to Froyo so I can use flash, but I'm still researching.

Are you wanting to install an .apk? If so, just place it somewhere and use Astro to locate and install it.

i have a noob question!
I recently bought a NC and was able to Auto-Nooter 2.12.25 successfully.

They should be under system/apps. Make sure your browsing the Book and not the SD card. You might need Root Explorer. I can see the apps with Astro, but can't do some things to them with root access.

By fast do understand the sd reader in the nook is rated class 6. Buying a class 10 is a waste of money and can cause problems. I would have mentioned this in the DEV forums but having less than 10 posts elsewhere prevents me from including that information where it is most needed but it should help you.

[Q] CM7 and Nook App

I am having a problem with the Nook app on CM7 (using the 4th nightly and the OC kernel.)
Doing some quick searching and extensive looking hasn't yielded any results directly related to the following issue.
When looking in my library, if I try to download a book it just says "No such file or directory" and my other books that are on my SD card don't show up/can't open them with the app (No Application Found).
So, just wondering if anyone else has got this working, I would really like to use this as an e-reader.
Thanks

you have to set the EXTERNAL_STORAGE value to /sdcard like it says and NOT /mnt/sdcard

I did change that but I didnt notice that I had to type out adb shell before typing su for the apk. I get permission denied, does that mean I missed something while rooting my nook?
Edit:
NM adb shell works, just didnt work from terminal emulator. Anyways tried everything from adb and a computer and still no dice. I have no clue why this is not working. The books in my files dont have the cover and when I click on it it looks like it will load then just goes back to my files again.

NM, it seems that the books that were already in my library from when I had the regular nook OS was giving me issues. I went to shop for a new free book to see what happened and it downloaded and worked. So I did it right from the beginning but kept trying the same 2 stupid books. lol Thanks

I'm not sure what's going on here.
I tried following through with the directions posted in the link. But my adb shell seems to be repeating whatever I type after I press enter. It doesn't seem to be working.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'm using phiremod.

Okay, so I found something... I think.
I did export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /sdcard
and I got
export: /sdcard: bad variable name
Any suggestions?

WORKING Nook ereader app on Nook Color running CM7 from sd card
I wanted to be able to have access to 2 barnes and noble libraries on the same device. I looked around and this is what I came up with. You don't need to do any really tricky or invasive mods and it works great. I'm mostly a moron so I wrote this for people who are like me, please don't be offended if you have to say "well duh" alot.
I would read the notes at the bottom of the post after you read this.
1. I prepared a CM7 sd card with google apps!!! using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
***(I used the stable CM-7.1.0-RC-1-encore-signed version + current gapps, but it should work with any current CM7 nightly)
2. I powered down my nook completely, inserted the CM7 sd card, powered it back up, and let the CM7 installer routine run. The installer shuts the nook off when complete, then I rebooted into CM7. After registering to my google acct and getting to the home screen, I clicked on the icon in the bottom left corner (3 little horizontal lines) and selected Settings>Applications>Unknown sources...check that box.
3. Opened the Market app. Searched for "appinstaller" and installed AppInstaller by FunTrigger. Then I completely powered down my nook and removed the CM7 sd card.
4. Then I downloaded an older version of the Nook ereader app (ver 2.5) and put it somewhere in my filesystem that was easy to locate (you will be locating it from linux) from here:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/nook
5. Then on a PC running Linux (ubuntu 11), I plugged the sd card I put CM7 on into my computer. In linux you can see all the partitions...in windows all you can see is boot. I opened the "CM7 SD CARD" partition, and I put the nook.apk file I downloaded from freewarelovers right in there.
6. I reinserted the CM7 sd card into my nook and booted it back up. I went to applications, ran AppInstaller and clicked on the "nook.apk" icon and installed it. Registered my B&N account normally and populated my library.
Notes:
* DO NOT add the nook.apk into the native OS. This is only for CM7. If you try to add this app to an OS with the native nook reader working (unrooted/nootered) the device gets stuck in a boot loop which you will have to use CWM or 8 fail boots to recover from.
* I bear no responsibility for any damage you may do to your device by using this method. That said, it is almost impossible to brick a nook color, especially using a sideload OS. If you think you did just look around the forums, there is lots of information on how to unbrick a nook color.
* If you do not have Linux running on anything to read the CM7 partitions, you can google "reading ext4 filesystems in Windows" and figure out how to do that. Mac is Unix based, so maybe you could use a mac and just hope no one finds out. I highly suggest you just make a live CD by following the directions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
* Incidentally, you can use this method for sideloading any apps into your sd-based CM7 environment.

Why would you need to sideload the Nook app? Is it hiding in the market these days??

No it's there but you can't download it. Either says invalid device or it won't give you the option to install at all.
EDIT: I updated to a current nightly and it allowed me to download the ver 2.6 Nook reader, but the sign in screen is garbled and it won't communicate with the B&N servers. Had a similar issue with Netflix, which I also sideloaded an older version of and works well.

@ mastigia.
Firstly, very appreciate your effort and post instructions for others.
Secondly, why would you want to go with that route?
At least, there are 2 options installing Nook App with ease.
a. Download and install directly from Market. (see note 1)
b. If for sideloading, just use usb cable to tranfer the .apk over, no need to remove the uSD then insert into Linux just to copy the file.
Note 1: If you can't see Nook App on the Market, then fix your Market first.
Note 2: another option (would be 3rd) is using ADB (either over USB or wireless to push file over)

why oh why

At least, there are 2 options installing Nook App with ease.
a. Download and install directly from Market. (see note 1)
b. If for sideloading, just use usb cable to tranfer the .apk over, no need to remove the uSD then insert into Linux just to copy the file.
Note 1: If you can't see Nook App on the Market, then fix your Market first.
Note 2: another option (would be 3rd) is using ADB (either over USB or wireless to push file over)

Ok...
a. I CAN see the app on the market. The app currently available is ver 2.7 which from the previous build of CM7 I was using had "Incompatible Device" where the "Install" button would normally be. So, I updated to CM7 nightly 209 thinking I was an idiot. And hey, whaddya know, that made it possible for me to install the 2.7 reader from the market. But it was garbled and would not communicate with the B&N servers and caused me some really crappy synching issues later which I won't go into here.
b. This is just for getting the nook.apk onto CM7 loaded on an sd card. The prob with just moving the file over usb is that windows (which I started off using) will only pick up my native emmc because the sd card partition I want to move the .apk to is in an ext4 partition. Using adb wireless I was unable to find the mount point, once again probably for the same reason.
So, to clean that up I would say just plug your nook into linux and move the file over usb and that would probably work and thanks for the suggestion, I just did not think of that.
Ya know this is kind of a silly and unique issue. I got my gf a nook color, she wants her own library and an unrooted nook (warranty). She also wants access to MY library (which has alot of books she would like to read) and apps like netflix (which also requires a legacy version). Books are the primary reason we got nooks. So for someone like ME, thats the post I would need.

Anybody having force close issues with the latest Nook app? I'm running 213 and I can download but anytime I try to open anything I get a force close.

cmod7 kindle app - no menu bar when reading

Don't know it this is a setting somewhere or what, but I have a question on using the Kindle app on the Nook Color running cmod 7 (7.20 stable). The app runs okay, but I seem to be missing a navigation bar once I start reading a book. It only shows the title and where I am - no options to go back to the Kindle menu (like if I want to read a different book). The only way I can get back to the Kindle menu is to reboot.
I've searched the forum and the closest thread to this problem talks about changing the settings - I don't seem to have any settings to adjust. Even if I go to settings/applications/manage applications/downloaded/kindle there still aren't any changable options.
Sorry for so many questions - I'm a noob. I've searched the net on this and searched this forum with no luck.
any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

On my device I only have to tap the middle of the page and the menus all pop up.

Still no go......
Tried that - I still only get the title at the top and the how much I've read meter at the bottom - no menu.
Thanks for replying!

What version of the Kindle app are you using? Try updating to the latest version.
Also try playing with the settings in cm. Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, tablet tweaks, and play with checking and unchecking disable full screen.

uh.....I'm not sure
Thanks for the reply! I downloaded the Kindle app via Amazon, so hopefully it is whatever is their latest. I sure didn't know about the settings, so I'll give the go and see what happens! I do get the drop down from the top stating the title, and the pull-up from the bottom, but the bottom only has how much I've read so far.
Thanks again!
Dave
EDIT: Well, I don't have the tablet options. Everything in there is for a phone! Seems kind of weird on a device that doesn't have a phone.

lost cm settings
I tried the cyanogenmod settings, and while everything there was for a phone, I turned off things like vibrate, etc. - pretty much everything dealing with a phone. Now when I try to go back to cyanogenmod settings, the app aborts.
I also look in the dev settings and see a config file in there that set s default resolutions, etc., and includes an option that looks like it hides the menu bar, so I used terminal (I am familiar with Linux) and checked for such a file for the system but wasn't able to locate one. I'm wondering if there's a setting like that somewhere, as I don't get any back arrows, menu, etc., just on the pages, and was wondering if that was also stopping me from getting the full menu bar in the Kindle app?

So you do NOT see the word Kindle in orange Aa, magnifying glass and three vertical dots and a bookmark icon as well as the blue dot and position in book at the bottom of screen when you touch anywhere that is NOT the far left and far right of the screen?
And you do NOT see the back, home, recent apps and "menu" button in the bar at the bottom of the screen outside of the kindle window?
Dev settings? no such beast in CM7 or CM9
There is a Developer options which has nothing to do with any sort of resolutions..
I suggest you reinstall CM7.2 release from the official site, stay out of ADB, and stay away from all the various "work in progress" roms until you can actually navigate the default device...
I think you probably got a bit happy and broke something .. there is a setting in CM7 settings to disable fullscreen apps from hiding the "menubar" at the far bottom of the screen and that should be under tablet tweaks in the system settings app.

Yep, none of those
Yep - none of those. This was just after getting 7.0 stable installed and loading in the gapps, since the gapps file was dated just slightly after that release. Immediately went and got Kindle and Nook reader apps. Tried them to be sure they looked like they were working and then applied the zip of 7.2 stable. I didn't try the cyanogenmod settings until later when it was posted in this thread. Again, there are no options in there for a tablet - only a phone. I don't mind going back and doing everything over, just as long as I don't end up in that deadly embrace of things aborting and google market not working. I'll let you know what happens.
If I flush out the Kindle cache I can get back to seeing my titles, but that really defeats the purpose of reading on the device.

Something is not right
Okay, I downloaded everything again and made the microSD. I booted the microSD, did the format data/system reset, went to mounts and did the format /system, while there I tried the format /data - it fails. I had noticed before that when the data/system reset is run and completes, I can no longer do anything - I have to manually power off, wait a while, and power back on. Did all that, went to advance and cleared the kelvich or whatever it's call cash. Installed the cmod7.20 stable. Took out the microSD and rebooted. All of my old apps, etc., are still there. I also was looking at settings and see that the settings I changed were under "phone", not using the cyanomod settings app - it still just aborts.
So, what have I got to do to completely clean all this stuff off and then try installing again? As you can imagine, the number of attempts, partial successes, successes (at least I thought it was only the Kindle app that wasn't showing the menu), etc., we're talking all kinds of hours starting Monday night - probably at least 10 hours each day. Now I'm no further than when I started. For now I'm going to load the old 1.4.1 image again for the umpteenth time and hope someone can tell me how to clear this all up, or else recommend a different android that will run on the Nook Color without problems.
I still think if I can clear EVERYTHING (well, not /boot, obviously) so I'm starting with a CLEAN slate again it may help. I just don't have a clue how to do that using cwm recovery.

Still no good
I redownloaded everything again, created the microsd and tried to install 1.4.1 just to get back to a clean starting point. Can't get beyond where it asks for B&N userid/password as the keyboard shows for about 1/2 a second, no matter what I do. So, I tried the format data/system reset again and just loaded in the cmod 7.20 stable. Again, after booting, everything is still there - the google apps and all. How do I get rid of all this stuff so I can try an install from a clean slate? Right now I've been going thru all the data folders I can find and manually removing everything there. I would like to delete a lot of apps, but I never seem to be able to "uninstall".
So, before I start over again, can someone tell me how to clear EVERYTHING (except /boot, /emmc [unless I need to],/sd*) so I have a clean system first?
Thanks!
Dave

Boot to CWM and do a factory reset. If you don't have CWM on emmc, make a bootable CWM SD. You can get one on my tips thread linked in my signature. A factory reset clears /data, /cache and clears any apps you may have installed to SD. It does not touch boot, system or emmc media.

no good

That's what I've been doing - format data/factory reset option from cwm. Before rebuilding the entire microSD on my Windows PC I have also done a complete format of the media. I then boot CWM from the microSD and install the cmod7 7.20 stable zip - I always assumed this was going straight to the device since when I remove the microSD and boot cmod7 is there. However, none of the pre-existing apps are gone - everything is still there.
I've tried using CWM, advanced options, and format /data - it always fails. So I'm wondering if perhaps the format of /data the is part of the factory reset also fails but the script doesn't error out. Right now I'm going through an extremely time consuming task of manually removing the files and folders in /data via the terminal and su so I get the permissions. If there is another quicker way to clear /data I'd sure appreciate knowing. I've tried some of the treed removes from my Linux experience but they don't seem to work.
Thanks!
Dave
EDIT: forgot to mention - I'm trying your partition restores from the link in your signature - only the "safe" ones - I don't to do that partition 2 stuff and really mess up. Perhaps this will clean everything off.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

I followed the link and did the repartitioning and formating with the first 2 scripts (left partition 2 alone!). Installed 7.20 stable - I now have the bar at the bottom of my screens. I'm waiting to format a 16gb microSD then I'm going to try the Kindle app out again, but I'd say this looks REALLY promising! Your scripts did what I wanted to do - they cleared everything out!
Thank you SO much!!!!!
Dave

Thank to everyone!
I just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to all the people who made cwm and cmod 7 so this whole thing would even be possible. Thanks to everyone here who helped me! Now "all" I have to do is just try to learn this! Maybe some place down the road I might try some programming, but I don't know how different it will be from my C using GTK++ on Linux. But first, to learn!
Thank you everyone SO much!

I know you got it all working and I am glad, but just for future reference, the problem you were having probably stemmed from using an old version of CWM. You have to use version 3.2.0.1 or newer or the format of data will fail on the newer nooks. The one in my tips thread is the newest version.

Thanks!

I did look at the the tar file I downloaded when I was trying to install from a 4gb microSD - it does say only 3.0.2.8, so I'm sure the 16gb I ended up installing from was probably the same, so I'll go grab what you recommended!
Since I don't want to have the problem again, I'm DEFINITELY going to follow your advise!
I had another suspicion for what may have happened, and why I had so much problem from the get-go with cmod 7 - I tried someone else's "put android on your nook" thing, which I know tried to root the nook and then dump some stuff in, and that didn't end up working.
I'm just glad your posts have gotten me going correctly!! BTW - the Kindle app works fine now, too!
Again, thank you SO much!!
Dave

Want to make sure I get this all right
You've been such a great help - I hope you don't mind a couple of more questions:
- The new CWM you recommend is the 5.x.x.x that's on the link, correct?
- Are there any newer releases of Android for the Nook Color? Right now I don't know anything about Android (complete noob [LOVE the movie on the registration page!] ). I know someone who is quite versed in all of this he mentioned that I'm running some name (honeycomb or something like that) and that there are newer ones out there (maybe that was honeycomb). At any rate, are there some updates I could run to make this any "better"? I know the version I'm running also seems to think it's a phone - is there one where it actually thinks it's a tablet?
Again, thank you SO much!

Yes that CWM is attached to my tips thread linked in my signature.
You can try CM9 which is tablet based, but it is still in alpha and not as stable as CM7. Don't use honeycomb, it is old and very buggy.

Thanks!
Thanks again for the info! I'll get that copy of cwm right away. Since CM9 is still early, I'll wait on any updates. I really don't know anything yet, but I am having fun with the Nook Color being all Android now. It's nice having the Kindle app and the Nook app - this way have all my books on 1 device, and that works great!
Thanks again!
