opening drm pdfs with alkido using catalog - Nook Color General

Hi just looking for some advice with drm pdfs on the rooted color nook using the cm7 sd card boot .
I joined the singapore library . I can down load epub direct to my rooted nook using overdrive media console . However with drm pdfs I have to download to my computer first and sideload . I have digital editions installed and an adobe id set up .
I can view the drm protected pdfs through digital editions on my computer. I can also view these files on my stock nook color after sideloading . However I would like to be able to view when running the cm7 on sd card .
I have aldiko premium on the rooted nook and i have authorised the rooted nook with the adobe id the same as my computer .
Now I installed dropbox and I get asked what to use to open the drm pdfs . I use aldiko premium but it comes up can not open file . Then I tried the dropbox public folder with the calibre library and the calibre2opd . I set up under catalogs in the aldiko premium. The adobe id is authorised but when I go to open the file it says cant open file .
I have uninstalled the digital editions and redone the authorisation 3 times . Just not sure what to try yet . I was under the impression that aldiko would open drm pdf files with authorisation .Any help would be gratefully accepted

Just a shot in the dark...try to freeze drm.apk in system/apps/ with titanium and see if that will work..or delete the file with adb...or rename that file with root explorer...what needs to be done is get rid of it....make a backup first of course...do one of the above and reboot..I don't know if it will work..I always remove that file on all my android installs and never had a problem.

I installed astro file manager and the issues I was having resolved

[Q] How to view files in /data/data/ on NookColor?

I am trying to add a signed certificate to the FireFox as described here:
http://support.mozilla.com/mn/questions/786035#answer-142961
In order to do so, you need access to
/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/<random number>.default/cert9.db
/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/<random number>.default/key4.db
I got this to work on my Captivate by installing FireFox to a SD card then mounting in Windows.
However, I cant install FireFox to the sd card as it is not supported in 2.1 Android. If I use Super Manager on Nook or Droid Explorer on my PC (when adb WAS working), there is nothing to see in this directory.
So how can I go about pulling these two files on the NookColor?

How to install apps from computer?

Is there anyway to download and install games/apps from the computer? Can I go into CWM - Mount USB - and then create a folder in my Gtablet and put all my apk files in that folder and then somehow install them once booted into my tablet?
I have never used android before so please forgive my ignorance... I just just flashed Clock Work Mod via NVFlash so I am still learning. I would like to install PSX4Droid and Final Fantasy 7 among other games.
Thank you for your time.

if they are android files (which, by apk, I assume they are), then yes. Just put them in a folder, use a file explorer to browse to them and open them, and they should install. Of course, installing is no guarantee that they will work on the gTab.
Also note that if you load an app that does not appear in your market, you will not be able to get updates to the app via the market.
You should have a folder called download in the root, use that for consistency.
However, I have found the easiest way is to email them to yourself at the gmail address you use on the tab.
The regular gmail reader provides for installing the APK from inside the message (just click Install!).
Works every time.
(Plus this gives you a backup copy of the app to install from anywhere you have web.)
The easiest way is to place them on a usb flash drive & use a file explorer (i.e root explorer) to install them.
I also want to mention that the new web-based Market will install the programs onto the tab for you when you click to install them from the PC.
No muss, no fuss. I was pretty surprised when I discovered it accidentally.

[Q] Run Installed apps from Nook Home

Hi, i just followed a procedure to install the Quickoffice.apk on my Nook Color. In this procedure i unistalled the quickoffice_viewer that the Nook has for reading the PDF files. This is because it can not be two similar apps installed.
The issue that i have rigth now is that when i try to open a PDF file from the Nook Home it doesn't work, like it was trying to find the quickoffice_viewer and dont find it.
Is there a way t´hat i can tell the Nook Home that for opening PDF or Office files it has to use the new Quickoffice appliucation installed instead of the quickoffice_viewer?
Thank you

CM 10.1.3 - Cannot open PDF or Videos

Hi,
I recently installed the 10.1.3 and I love the stability of the ROM. I recently tried to read some magazines on the Nook & I'm facing a peculiar problem where I cannot open any PDF files, EPUB or even Video files. I tried putting the files on the Nook memory and the SD Card too. All Apps (Aldiko, MX Player, etc.) return back the error "Could not load file".
I can't seem to understand what could be the problem here. All files work well on the computer, but nothing on the nook. Could it be a file permission restriction?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I can't help but I am also running 10.1.3 and don't have your issues. I didn't change any settings other than for the launcher. Could there be a problem with the gapps version you installed?

Open the web browser and if you can read a normal pdf and view a video from youtube then your files are simply not compatible.
Suppose they could be getting corrupted. You didn't say if you tried them from the computer via the sdcard.
I transferred the files from the computer to the internal memory and the SD card, but to no avail. It says "Video could not be loaded" or "File could not be loaded", if a pdf does load - it usually comes as a blank white screen.
How do I check if I have installed the correct Gapps version? I did try and open a pdf from the web browser, I faced the same problem.

Go into Google play and download "Foxit MobilePdf". You should be golden.
[I may have forgotten earlier, that possibly all mobile web browser's can't view pdf files, or at least the one(s) you have can't do so. For instance, Firefox downloads them, but can't view them. You would still need a viewer, which I think you never installed one on android and hence your problem.]
