Is some BN features broken in MN 4.5.6?
I cannot download books or magazines in the Library or on Home.
Is there a workaround or setting that I am missing?
Would applying 4.5.6 again clear up things?
Did Titanium or some market apps crash the BN download feature?

I had the same problem and figured I'd missed a step after unrooting back to stock 1.0.1. I was right, I did.
I went back to stock 1.0.1, then upgraded to stock 1.2. In addition to registering with BN, I opened the BN Shop app and let it do its thing connecting to wifi. Once the BN Shop was pulling info as it should, I flashed MN 4.5.6. Now all of the stock features work as they should.

So I was a bit hasty. Should have known....
Although I did allow it to download a couple of books, hmm, didn't see the cookbook though come to think of it...., nope I don't see it. Maybe that is part of a download package of sorts.... that might do more than what we see.... I'll try it again tonight.
Thanks for the advise!

Your suggestion worked. I didn't realize that the green inverted U had to appear, which indicates the B&N update or install is complete. Rocks now! I have reinstalled most of my apps courtesy of Titanium, the stock e-mail client works very well.
Interesting, reminds me of my first pc: TI-99/4a. For it's time, it rocked. I sold it to someone for his museum.

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.
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.

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!

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!
I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .
Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.
The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.
How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.
I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

I am running into the same issue with Phiremod'd 6.3 and the B&N android app.
However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...
Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)
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.
I'm loving CM7 and having netflix is amazing but not having the nook app really hurts.
I can log in fine. It sees my library but when I try to download the books from my library I get the message "Problem downloading this item. Please try again Later."
I'm able to download the free-be books just fine, just not the one's I've purchased for other devices. Also, I can't seem to find any books I've side loaded onto the nook.
Any ideas?
Btw, I'm on the nightly 217 though I had the same problem with an older version as well.
Try installing CM7.1 as the stable is out now.

No dice. Still forces closes for me on 7.1 and the newest nightly too (217).
Ok, 2 people with different issues.....
cinciblue6, try fixing permissions. If that does not work you need to tell us more. Any other apps causing force closes? What version of the Nook app are you using? Did it ever work? Can you recall when it stopped and what you had recently done?
Tapiozona, when you sync it do all your books show up? What version of the app are you using? Sometimes I find if I long press the book and choose show details and then the download button from the new screen if goes through anyway.
@patruns
My problem is slightly different. Mine can download books just fine but when I try to open them, it force closes. Not sure when it stopped working. I would guess sometime after nightly 197 (though I went straight to 210 after that.) VLC Remote also does not work (though I just dled that last night so it never has.)
Tried fixing permissions but it didn't do anything to help the situation.
Edit: I may have updated the Nook app recently. I'll check to see.
Try signing out of the B&N app, then reboot and sign back in. You will have to re-download any books you wish to read though. This was also required when updating the app last month.

Did it before and just did it again and still no dice.
I'm gonna do an uninstall and reinstall and see if it works. If not, I guess I'll just wait to see if it ever starts working. I have a regular Nook so it's not a big deal but for magazines I prefer the NC.
Thanks for the help.

I fixed this issue for a customer the other day, it happened because the credit card associated with the account had expired. Log in to the B&N website and try changing your credit card on file and see if that helps.
