I managed to fix my nookcolor get 1.1 and autonooter 3 on. The market is downloading. Utube is streaming and gmail is synching. However I am not seeing the books I've previously ordered from bn and shop isn't loading. I assume I need to register it. Is there a way I can do that now? Or do I have to redo it all? I'm on vacation and don't have access to a PC. Any help would be appreciated.

i think you'd have to unroot it then register then root it again.
Yea. I'm in that process now.

process is fairly easy so you shouldn't run into any problems. good luck
After you restore stock ROM... register with B&N (preferred method is using gmail account)
Then use one of the root packs.

Why is gmail prefered? I have a BN account.
from rooting Pre-requisites
"Before rooting, you need to complete BN's registration process, you will not be able to link your NC to your BN account to buy books after rooting. If you've registered it before see Deregistering Color Nook on instructions on how to de-register."
Why de-register. I have a registered nook. Can I use a Auto-Nooter and still
retain the ability to buy books.
I never had a problem with a non-gmail account
I believe the reason gmail account is preferred is that it will also link to youtube.. gmail... market etc....
Even with your B&N account you can change the email associated with the account to a gmail.
You may never experience an issue using non-gmail account... but who knows what lies in store down the road.

If you actually purchase an app from thre Android Market, is it yours forever, even if you change your phone to another Android phone or reformat the current phone back to factory default?
I presume it's registered to your googlemail account as you have to use the google checkout for the purchase?
Yes, you just have to download it again, but when you log in the market for the first time with your google account, it recognizes the apps you purchased and places them in the download tab as "purchased". Then you just install them again without paying the fee
even if we doing factory resert w/o back up?

Yes. After you reset one of the first things your phone will do is ask you for your Gmail account details. As long as you use the same account you bought them with.
Trust me!!!! I have done it

What happens if you upgrade your googlemail account to a gmail account?
I'm not sure it will still work if you log in with 2 different users. It needs to be the same user you logged in when you first purchased the app..

Is it actually an upgrade? Do you not get the same functionality with either addresses? If so then changing is not needed.

When I used my (stock) Nook Color for the very first time, I set up my wifi and got on the Internet. Then I went to www.mail.yahoo.com to try to access my e-mail.
I was greeted with a page asking me if I wanted to install a Yahoo mail app. Not thinking, I clicked no and proceeded to access my mail the old way -- typing my user name and password in the boxes.
But now I realize this is the tedious way of doing things. But when I try to locate that Yahoo mail app page, I can't find it.
Meanwhile, will that app work on a stock Nook Color? Or was that page showing up just a fluke?
Thanks.
You cannot install any apps on a stock NC.

I have updated to the BN 1.2 update and run manual nooter 4.4.27 and seem to be having good results. As BN states they don't support an exchange server, I attempted to install the Android 2.2 email.apk I used the directions posted here:
at nookdevs.com/NookColor_Email just changing the email program from the 2.1 they talk about to 2.2
I can install and connect to my exchange server, but when I reboot, all account setup is lost. I have to go back thru and resetup the account again. When I tried this previously (BN 1.1, and using touchdown) I also lost my account setup. Any ideas on why it won't retain my account settings?

same problem here.
touchdown seems to work and k9 mail or the good Kaiten do to although not sure if they are offering pure exchange the way touchdown does.
My first thought would be that you don't have sufficient access to the directory where it's trying to save the profile config info.
You may want to investigate what that direcotory is (I'd try contacting whoever wrote the app) and then check your permissions on that directory.
TouchDown works well and adds Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes with active sync. I am happy.
Only issue with touchdown its it its good for only one account. Would have liked to have multi email account support.
From 1.2 Nook Color
I tried touchdown while I was still in version 1.1. It would not retain my user info either. It only allowed me to sync 1 time and then I would have to perform the setup again. Can't say as I was able to really try it out that way.

Check with your exchange admin. If you have OWA (Outlook Web Access) enabled on your account (and the other accounts with login/pass) you can access via browser. I've had users do that (stock and Dolphin) and seems to work fine. Fewer functions available (Search is one in Outlook) but basic functions do work.
hi all
I will be rooting NC and installing CM on it. I already have rooted droid phone with gmail account. I have some purchased apps.
So I have a question.
Do I want to use the same gmail so I use purchased apps on NC or do I create a new gmail account for NC?
Thanks
I used mine from my evo, it has all my purchased apps showing as purchased and ready for download to my NC.

So do I need to change my B&N account to my droid gmail? I'm not going to run new ROM from sd card like others do. I'm just thinking straight forward droid on NC.
Your B&N login is separate, there should be no conflict. You can also have multiple Gmail accounts on a device if getting you mail is a worry. I use the same primary Gmail account on all my devices.

Your B&N account is only used when you use the Nook app. All other Google apps will use your Google account. Since you already have gmail on your droid, it makes sense to just register your NC with the same account. If you enabled using Google to sync your apps, it'll automatically download the same apps to your NC (where compatible).
Does anyone know of an IMAP email app that is worth using? There seem to be a bunch out there that are all iffy from what I've seen. My college account is IMAP, and I can get the correct configuration settings from them, but first want an app that is actually decent. Paid apps aren't out, but a trial first would be nice, or at least a pretty perfect review.
Thanks!
I use K-9 Mail for my comcast accounts (2 POP3), gmail account (IMAP) and my college email account (IMAP). It is HIGHLY customizable and works great been using it for years.
I just use Gmail. I probably have 6 different emails linked to it. For my college, I just it forward a copy to my primary gmail account. Then again, my college email is gmail based.
Gmail DOES support IMAP and POP.

The built in email app supports imap, I use it for my university. Just go to accounts and add it from there.

I find the built in app to be just fine and it should do IMAP, unless you tried it and are having issues. I use the built in email app for my college, except we use an MS Exchange server and it works fine.
The above two posters have better ideas. My method was to do it all through gmail on my computer and have all my emails linked to my main account, then just have 1 gmail app reading my primary account, but that's sort of a security risk. If someone gets into my primary gmail account, they can see everything.

Slayer621, why not setup 2 factor authentication on your gmail account? Your phone can be a soft-token, that way it will be more secure. When it comes to my University, they want all emails to instructors/staff to go through your main Uni account, so that's why I won't route everything through gmail.

I was looking to do it through the stock email app, but running SD5.1 ICS doesn't have the option to add an email account. I'll look into K9, but I may be heading back to Mav4 GB here soon anyways where there may be a stock email app. Thanks! I'll be back with updates.
Kinda hitting a dead end here. I'm on Mav4 and using the stock email app, I added my email address and pw, then I hit manually configure and entered what I could find from the school (Univ. of Pittsburgh, http://technology.pitt.edu/Document...obile/Mobile Devices and Enterprise Email.pdf), but couldn't get it to work. I'll be trying K9 tomorrow maybe.
