Hi all, this is my first post here. I have just root my 1.2 NC, but the google map won't show my location and asked me to activate "my location", does it mean that my location is not working with rooted NC? Because I just can't find the my location settings.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank in advanced.
Mine has finally started to working....
I had started out getting the NC in December and it was still 1.0. I updated it to the 1.01 when it came out. Then I performed the Autonooter for my first rooting experience. I really loved it.
When 1.2 came out I did the reseting to the factory settings which seemed to work to get the NC back to the 1.01. I performed the manual update from B&N and it was appeared to be successful. I did not realize it did not upgrade correctly and the rooting was very flaky at best (i.e. calendar issues, market would exit for no reason, etc.). I was really not pleased with the outcome.
I finally performed the following:
1) Manually got the NC back all the way to 1.0. Got it all registered and working correctly. I had to load the files since the CW would not allow me to do the 8 reboot to reset.
2) Manually added the update to get the NC up to 1.01. Made sure that it was still working.
3) Performed the 1.2 B&N update manually. Here is where I really noticed the big difference. The look and feel were really different compare to the after autonooter/reset.
4) Performed the manual root process using the updated version.
At this point I am extremely happy with the results so far. I was able to get into the Market several times without it exiting once or creating install errors. Things are working more like what I experienced with the auto process.
By the way the #1 and #2 I found a post that had the files and instructions to uninstall CW and get the NC back to original factory settings.
Can you use News and Weather and Google Maps? Mine still forcecloses on News and Weather and Maps still asks for my location.
Location is currently not working. The latest update to .25 does allow the calendar to sync though. It also might slow your FC with the market.

Thanks for the reply. Started to think I might have to do a complete wipe and start from scratch to get it to work.
Any update on this? I would really like to figure out how to get location services working with rooted 1.2.

I was wondering the same thing. My NC works great on everything else --Thanks to all the Dev's for this--- just have the News&Weather and Google Maps icons sitting there hoping they'll magically start working!!
Besides News&Weather many other apps(IMDB in particular) doesn't work because of this. Lame, because it was working fine on autonootered 1.1.
I'm still trying to figure out which fault is this-1.2 update or manual nooter? If later, maybe they should still call MN "beta"?

So I had a few apps get the infinite Installing Android Market bug thanks to a wireless router dying at a bad time. The only thing that worked short of doing a factory reset was to uninstall the market update.
So my question is how do I get the Market update to reinstall?
Thanks
(Not rooted, stock ROM)
Uninstall application, then reinstall. Just a hunch.

Were it only so simple. The 2.2 market enchancements were a silent upgrade, so there's no market link. And beyond that, the Market no long appears up on the manage Applications list in the system settings.
I've been having the same issues as well, very frustrating! I've been searching here and good ol' google on how to get that update back...to no avail yet.
Did you ever get any success?
Pulled this. See if it works for you.
Thanks
Trying to side load it now, but I can't seem to get droid explorer to work. sigh.....
It connects to the phone fine, but then when I go to install the package, it gives me a new window that wants to install something. I don't really remember that window coming up in the past, but to be honest it's been quite awhile since I've used droidexplorer... So I click isntall, and the program immediately crashes.
So, I put the file on my web server, and downloaded it from there. (Got some annoying lovely messages about the phone being out of space until I cleared the browser download list....) It downloaded fine, but when I go to install it, I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package."
On an odd hunch, I started poking around the file structure in DroidExplorer, and was able to pull my own MarketUpdater.apk out and save it to the computer. So I threw that on the webserver, and was able to download it fine, AND re-install it. No idea if that will actually DO anything, but hey, figured it was worth a shot.
So now that I've waited 15 minutes after reinstalling the marketupdater.apk, (big surprise) nothing's changed.
EDIT:
Went to grab a sandwich for lunch, and decided to pop into the ATT store since it was right next to where I was eating. Asked one of the reps that I have a pretty good relationship with about the issue, and he said a customer came in not too long ago with the same issue, and the only resolution was a system wipe. Hopefully we can get around it...Of course, if not, and I do have to do a wipe, I'll just upgrade to 2.2....
Tried searching..
My rooted NC has been working perfectly. I have downloaded lots of apps. Now when I am on the market everything seems fine but files will not download. It just sits there on "starting download". The only thing I can think of is I used Titanium backup to "wipe data" on the market app...I am a noob, was that dumb?? I thought that might clear my market search history that keeps adding up. Any thoughts?
mine does that once in a while. i just reboot the nook and it starts again
I have re-booted a few times...no luck.
I had that symptom after I deleted Google Talk. I just re-auto-nootered & all was fixed. Nothing was disturbed. I never heard any feedback on whether or not that was a viable restore method, but it worked for me by restoring the missing files. If I were you, though, I would wait for someone else to chime in & give some guidance.
Cheers,

now that I think about it my Gmail has not been working either. I am not getting notifications of new mail. When I launch Gmail and hit refresh it will get my mail, but not automatically like it used to....must some google account issue????
make sure you log into Google talk which should fix the issue.
My experience also supports the need to be signed into Google Talk in order to download from the Market.

I may have logged into google talk when I first rooted...but I have not touched that app since. I tried to launch it and it kicks me back to my home screen right away. Tried a reboot..same thing.
re-rooted, problem solved.
I rooted my Nook Last night, everything seemed to work fine as well. now( about an hour ago) the Marketplace stopped downloading.
Is re-rooting the only answer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
When I open the Gmail app and manually refresh, the app closes. If I switch to a label that's not my inbox, then refresh, Gmail will take me back to my inbox and properly refresh it. Also, Gmail won't get mail in the background. I suspect this is because of the crash issue.
Here's a logcat dump from when I force a crash, by trying to refresh my inbox: http://pastebin.com/C7AWUs6Z
Any suggestions for resolving this? I'd like my Nook to automatically fetch mail, and to not have to play games when refreshing manually.
Same problem
I am having the same problem. Also, my gmail won't sync automatically.
I had same issues but now GMail works
In Titanium Backup I "Wiped data" and then reopened GMail now it works fine: auto updates, no FCs, etc.
Good luck m8s!
spiffytech & marcusau2,
What are you running on your NC? 1.0.1? 1.1?
If 1.1, did you use Autonooter 3.0 or Decad3nce v1.1 ROM?

I can confirm this solution: Run Titanium Backup, select "Gmail 1.3" and "Gmail Storate 2.1-update1" and "Wipe data" for each. Now Gmail doesn't crash when I hit "Refresh".
Does this require me to do a clockwork recovery?

No, fixed the problem without the use of CWR.
I meant to say, I used the auto booted method vs the rom. To fix gmail do i have to use clocwork recovery?

I don't think so. I can only speak for my case, but I expect you can perform the steps I outlined above on your auto-nooted NC and fix the issue.
That solution didn't work for me. I saw in a thread someone mentioned something about adding your google account through youtube or something.

This method worked for me for a little while. Then Gmail started acting up on me again, I think after a reboot. I hope you have better luck than me.
I was going to suggest running fix permissions from Clockwork because that seemed to work for me between now and my last post. But that too has turned out to be temporary fix.
I'm going to try wiping clean and see if the problem goes away on a fresh install.

You wouldn't be able to use Clockwork anyways since you used Autonooter method. I've seen posts that installing Clockwork causes a boot loop that makes your NOOKcolor always boot into Clockwork.
But it's weird you're having problems with the Gmail app. I don't remember seeing issues with Gmail with Autonooter 3.0 while I was looking into using it. However, not being able to use Clockwork was a deal breaker for me to not use Autonooter 3.0.
titanium backup wipe
though it's a bit too early to tell whether this problem will resurface, wiping both the gmail and storage seemed to solve my problem.
i'm running autonooter with the 1.1 update and can't figure out why gmail would just start flaking out for no reason when it has been working just fine
hopefully, this isn't a recurring issue

I'm having the same issue as well, running NC 1.1, Autonooter 3.0.
For me I can try to sync it and it doesn't crash, but it doesn't sync either, it just sits there. It DOES crash if I try to archive a message in my inbox. (But if I apply a label to the message and then archive it, it works. Go figure.)
I've been able to sync using the Titanium Backup data wipe method (followed by a reboot in most cases), but it has persistently flaked out again for no apparent reason. Sometimes it would work for a few hours before flaking, or sometimes it would flake again almost immediately. I have literally no idea what's causing it.
I really hope somebody figures this issue out. I'm running out of ideas of things to try...
Ditto 1.1 Autonooter 3.
the android email app works perfectly.
Gmail, not so good. Did the "add account" thing where I re-added my existing account to gmail and calendar started working perfectly But not gmail.
Wiped using Titanium but it still stalls.
However, if I go to labels in gmail and select "ALL" it'll sync. And it'll stick, after a few minutes. But this manual sync is the only way I've found to have it work.
I have been having this problem recently also. Gmail and everything worked at first, for maybe about a day and then it stopped syncing. I tried clearing the data using Titanium but now it just crashes every time I try to open it. Presumably because it is trying to sync upon opening. Not sure how to fix this now.
As a side note, since doing this it seems that the Youtube app is crashing upon opening now also.
I ended up switching to the K9 email app which has more options than the gmail app. I still wish I could get gmail to work out of principle, but this has solved my problem.
I don't think it has anything to do with using latest autonooter as I used the prior method to get 1.1 and I have the same problem. Common seems to be 1.1.
Oddly enough the Gmail app started working again for me yesterday with no changes in between. Then tried it again today and it was no longer working. Tried again to wipe the data using Titanium and nothing happened.
I did learn yesterday though that the Gmail app was able to connect to the Gogo in-flight wifi even without paying for a connection. None of the other apps were able to connect.
My rooted nook was auto updated to 1.3, I'm was not running CM7, It seemed difficult for me to update to it.
Now what do I need to do to reroot my nook color again, I would like to have it running CM7 this time since everyone seems to like it. Also my nook is slow, so I need to tweak the speed as well. How much faster would I be able to get it to run? I run lots of large pdf files.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your question as I wondered whether others have the same problem. My Market App completely disappeared after the 1.3 update. It was automatic, and I would have chosen not to update as I wanted to know if there were any problems with a rooted Nook Color. I eagerly await any response that tells me how to reactivate my Market app. Without the app, existing apps won't update.
Of course it's gone, use Manual Nooter again...

I can tell you what I did, after extensive forum scrubbing. Very simply, I just reapplied the latest MN, which is what I had rooted with, so I had it handy. This was without doing anything else, no formatting, no wiping, no nuthin. I was skeptical, but it seems to be working quite smoothly for now. Total root access, just sign into market again and reinstall gmail, and I was good to go.
I knew this has worked for a number of people, so I gave it a shot. Lucky me, I'm one of them now.
HTH and YMMV
Great rerooted again with manual nooter, now how to get my nook to run cm7 and tweak it to run faster?
I don't having it on the sd card.

Thanks for the reply. However, as I found out, I needed to download the latest MN zips. Followed the instructions and it worked great.
Ok let me state here and now I'm a bit of a tech idiot...but I did manage to root my nook color and I LOVED it. This is the stats on it (I'm including everything I know because I don't know what is important)
It's a Barnes and Noble Nook Color with the 1.4.1 update
Android Version 2.3.4
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] 87
CPU info. Arm 7 Processor rev 2 (V71)
Mod Version:
CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-encore
Build Number
GRJ22
I orginally did the autonoot but restored it and went with the SD card root.
Everything was going along fine, market worked, email worked, watched netflix, you name it it was wonderful ...then bam...out of the blue I'm getting:The application Google Services framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close pop up window every few seconds. Beautiful widgets can't load my clock and weather or news, and if I go to market I get: The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly Force close, Pop up. If I try to use Netflix it says Error Please make sure that your device has network connectivity and the date and time settings are accurate.
I thought it was a wifi issue but I can use my browser just fine. I don't even know where to start. I'm digging in the older threads but haven't really found anything useful yet (so MUCH info.)
I hate to completely restart because I went a little insane during the android .10 cent sale and it will take forever to re-download everything. (I have Huges Net...nuff said).
Any ideas?
Bad SD card? Try different card?
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
