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
Ran into the same problem last night

Tried that solution and it doesnt work when trying to download books. I always get file type not supported. You?
yes, it does work when downloading books. make sure you follow it exactly.
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

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.
Unable to download Amazon App. I click on the icon from amazon.com and it says file not found. Any ideas? I'm running CM7
It keeps say Not Found The requested item could not be found.
I' m not familiar yet w/ cm7, so there may be an easy fix I don' t know about, but have you tried dling the app on another device (or copying from another device), and either copying it into your cm7 nook & then installing? Or pushing it & installing w/ adb?
What URL are you using to try to download it? I'm having no problem getting the APK from: amzn.to/getamazonappstore (Sorry I can't post it as a link, as I'm still a "new" user).
Skunk, cool thanks. Did that and works fine.
you can't get it directly, you have to sign up for it and have the apk sent to your email. that's how they do it.
look for the icon that says app store with email sign up towards the right side of the page
Okay, if you have received the 1.3 update or you want to get it, this has worked for a few people now (thanks to billingdl for figuring our walking this path first!). This has only been tested for going from rooted 1.2 to 1.3. No idea on how it will fare with other changes.
You will need a bootable CWM card for this procedure. Look here for that. Then put these files on it:
manualnooter-4-5-18.zip
manualnooter-4-6-16a.zip
Note: Rom Manager is included as part of MN.
You'll notice that MN has an 'a' on it. I added two things there: the final fix for build.prop that was never updated and I also added a script to update the database to block OTA updates (this has worked for me) as found here.
Okay, so here we go...
1. Get the 1.3 update. YOU WILL LOSE ROOT! But don't fret - you shouldn't lose anything else.
2. Shut down your nook and boot with the bootable card.
3. Install manualnooter-4-5-18.zip and then reboot.
4. You have root now, so go launch the market and sign in.
5. Shut down your nook again and boot with the bootable card.
6. This time install manualnooter-4-6-16a.zip.
6a. If you want to, you can also install Dalingrin's OC kernel while you're here, which he recently updated with the 1.3 source. Your choice, but the file is here.
7. Reboot again.
8. Put your regular "data" SD card in for this step - Go into Rom Manager and run the 'Fix Permissions' option.
9. Go into Nook Color Tools and note the check box at the top. After 1.3 for most (if not all) people, the label is missing now. Uncheck and check the box anyway and close NCT.
10. Reboot
and Voila! All should be working!
root seems to be back after step four, but I wasn't unable to open the market until loading up 16a. Looks good so far though!
Your instructions didn't work for me
I purchased a Nook Color in July. It came with Froyo 1.2. I rooted it using Manual Nooter 4.6.16 shortly afterwards and was loving it!
Then last night, the Nook OTA auto-updated me to the Nook 1.3 firmware.
This morning when I picked up my Nook, I noticed that my Android Market, Google Email and Calendar apps icons had changed. When I tried to start them, I got a "App not found" error message. Then after some exploration, I discovered that I had I had lost Root access.
I followed your instructions. After installing Manual Nooter 4.5.18 and rebooting my Nook, I had root access again. However, when I tried to run the Android Market app I got a prompt saying "loading...", then the app closed.
I tried a couple of times with the same outcome. I then ran Rom Manager, was prompted for super user access and allowed it. I then selected the fix permissions option and rebooted the Nook, but the Android Market app still had the same issue as above.
I then figured I move ahead and install Manual Nooter 4.6.16a in hopes it would fix the problem. After applying it and rebooting my Nook, I again tried to start the Android Market app. This time, on the first attempt to run it, I was prompted to set up a Google account. I selected the existing account option and provided my account name and password. I received a confirmation that my android device was now associated with my Google account.
When I attempted to run the Google Market app again, I experienced the same issue as above. I got a prompt saying "loading...", then the app closed.
I again used Rom Manager and selected the Fix Permissions option and rebooted my Nook again. After rebooting I still have the same problem with Android Market app - starts to load then closes.
Now I'm stuck...
Anyone else experiencing the same behavior? Anyone have suggestions for how I might fix the issue?
For those of you who have been lucky enough to dodge the Nook OTA 1.3 firmware auto-update, I'd highly recommend you disable your wireless until you are able to turn off the auto-upgrade to avoid this unpleasant experience.
I'd be very happy to return to Nook 1.2 firmware with Manual Nooter 4.6.16. It was working perfectly for me and allowed me to access, load and run Android Market apps without any problem.
...Steve
ManualNooter was never about blocking updates, it's about keeping the device as fully functional as possible INCLUDING updates while adding more to the device such as a proper Android Market. Unrooting was always going to be a side effect of the update, which should of easily been fixed by by just reapplying 4.6.16. As for the build.prop "final fix", what exactly is that?
Also any indication on WHY this works would be more helpful than you repackaging 4.6.16 with stuff it wasn't designed to have.

Wish I could say why it works. Like I said, the only thing I did with it was put the build.prop fix in and add the ota change. But others had it work using the last published MN of 4.6.16. I'd love to be able to say it was something I did, but it's not. I was just trying to pull everything together for folks...

I decided to go back and give it a try again from the top. (I had nothing to lose).
The second time I applied MN 4.5.18 and rebooted, the Android Market started working. I was able to connect and I tested installing an app just to make sure it was fully functional.
Great - Then I figured I try to move forward and re-apply MN 4.6.16a. After doing so and rebooting, the issue with Android Market app NOT working returned, ("loading..." message followed by a shutdown of the app). I then realized that wifi wasn't working properly after applying MN 4.6.16a. Checking the settings panel revealed that wifi was off. Every attempt to turning on wifi resulted in a wifi error. Tried applying ROM Manager 'Fix Permissions' again just in case - but wifi problem persisted.
So, I decided to go back and reapply MN 4.5.18 once more. Voila - the wifi and the Android Market started working again.
So I'm now running with MN 4.5.18 and Nook firmware 1.3
I should note that I did apply the optional over-clocking update that you included in your instructions above after applying MN 4.6.16a. Don't know if that is related to the wifi problems I experienced.
Anyway - I've got my Nook Rooted again and running Android Market so I'm happy.
Hope the above info is useful to others who might have the same experience I did.

FYI... Did some more follow-up. Tried another version of MN 4.6.16...
Seems that MN 4.6.16 with Nook firmware 1.3 breaks wifi. After applying it, checking the settings panel shows "error" under wifi and wifi is off. Attempts to enable it result in a wifi error. Checking the Nook device info shows an empty MAC address.
So on my Nook there's definitely something incompatible between MN 4.6.16 and Nook firmware 1.3. On doing some googling, wifi improvements are mentioned as one of the optimizations included with firmware 1.3. So maybe that's where the issue lies.
Anyway it's easy to re-apply MN 4.5.18 and once that's done things seem to work fine with firmware 1.3.
...Steve
Try removing the Kernel from 6.16 and see if that works.

There are many variables in getting BN1.3 to be rooted and functional:
1. the method to get to BN1.2: upgrading to BN1.2 via wifi or restoring to BN1.2 via Nemith's zip file.
2. whether CWM is installed on emmc or not.
3. green dot NC or not?
Thanks to OP, i have my NC 1.3 rooted and functional. By the, Flash 10.3 is part of NC 1.3. This is how I got there:
- restore to stock BN1.2 via Nemith's zip file with no CWM on emmc.
-apply MN4.5.18
- get NC working with gmail, apks', etc... still on BN1.2 but rooted
- side load BN1.3 update
- apply MN 4.5.18 - but be sure to wait until it's done 10-15 minutes
- apply MN 4.6.16a
- fix permissions
- install Dalingren's updated OC kernel
Everything works like a champ.
Thanks don caruana! I followed your instructions exactly and they worked perfectly! Like another poster, I didn't have the market back until after I uploaded MN 4-6-16a but everything is back to normal now. Yay!
If I am running cm7 off emmc, i should not even get prompted for this update, correct?
I am not dual booting, just straight cm7!
I'm having a problem.
I was on 1.2 w/MN 4.6.16 and get the OTA to 1.3.
I just flashed MN 4.5.18 and rebooted.
When I launch market, I get a message saying "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now"? If I select either yes or no, it takes me back to my home screen.
What do I do now?

Try going in to gmail and setting up your account there, then go back to the market. You could also clear data for the market and see if that helps.

Gmail and Talk both automatically close immediately, clearing data for market doesn't change anything. I got into youtube, chose my channel and it took me to an add account option and when I click that it says "there was a problem authenticating."
Now what?

That kinda sounds like a network issue of some sort. Try logging into your account from your pc. Also, can you browse the internet with the nook?

You know, I had the issue where the market closed immediately on me when I tried to put mn4.6.16 on first. You could try a few things here...
Try going ahead with 6.16 and see if that works
or
Reapply 5.18
or
Reapply the 1.3 update and start over with the process
Unfortunately this thing seems to be a bit of a mystery (no one even knows why 5.18 first works for some), so just keep plugging at it and report back in case anything inspires someone more knowledgeable than me.
I reapplied 5.18 and then rebooted, same thing.
I then applied 6.16a and rebooted. This time I got the same thing about needing to added an account, but when I said yes, it let me add the account.
I then ran fix permissions and rebooted one more time for good measure.
Things all look good now!
Thanks so much.
Hopefully this helps anyone else with the same issue.
I guess I don't have to worry about a future OTA forced upon me now since I used the "a" version. What exactly does the "final fix for build.prop" do though?

Glad that worked for you!
The build.prop thing is an issue where the original intent of MN was to change the fingerprint of the device for improved market visibility. It was supposed to change to "samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000", but the script had an error and it just got left at zoom2. I can't tell you what the difference in visibility is, but it was a fix that never got implemented, so I slapped it in there.
BTW, I'm sure you're skittish at this point, but you might want to look at Dalingrin's OC kernel, if you haven't already. Although the first thing I'd do is take a full backup with CWM!!
Happy "Nook"ing!
Thanks doncaruana!
This worked for me too, however, I had the same initial problem with Market as two other posters where it would FC when fired up as per your instructions. But after applying the MN 4.6.16a, it fired up fine. I'm wondering if it had to do with my SD card though. I did not have my "normal" SD card installed when I first fired up Market, but I did have it in once I had applied MN 4.6.16a, so no big deal. Just successfully downloaded/updated a dozen apps. from the Market with no problem and definitely have root again. System reports BN software version 1.3.0. Thanks again for all of your work on this, esp. regarding no OTA updates; obviously the otacerts.zip rename doesn't work since that's what I had in place and I still got 1.3 pushed!
One question for you though - does the DB OTA fix disable any BN features other than OTA updates (e.g. in store stuff, etc.)?
So I managed to get CM7 on my nook fairly easily just now (latest versions for everything) however when I was up and running it asked me to upgrade my cm7 version in the notification area. I did but now I have no access to the market. I see the icon but nothing happens when I press it. If I goto manage applications, the market doesn't appear there either. Did I miss something?
The market worked previously, although it was the old school android market, not the new one. I thought that was odd, but after the cm7 update, the market doesnt open.
Reflash gapps

If this post helped you don't forget to say thanks!
Will do. Wiped the SD card to use as storage so ill have to readd the zip.
Thanks and ill report back.
Bingo. I got a different version of gapps and flashed that, everything works and I have the new market as well.
+1 on thanks.

You didn't really have to do that if you are running CM7 and CWR off the internal eMMC. Just put the .zip on the card, boot into CWR and install .zip from card.
But since you are up and running I guess the point is moot for you.
So I've come across a different problem. I'm trying to get netflix to work but the market tells me "Your device is not compatible with this item".
I looked around and I think I found a fix but I needed to install ES File Explorer..I went to download that and...
"Your device is not compatible with this item".
Thought maybe I could do it through Astro, but same message.
How do I get around this? Especially sicne any of the tricks I found to do it are unavailable to me because of the very same problem.
Thanks!

I redownload the GAPP's file from the CM7 Wiki and then try reflashing it. I dont know what could've happened but I would try that first. As for the file explorer issue, I would download the Dropbox app on your NC and then on your computer, search for the Root Explorer/ES APK and upload it to Dropbox on your computer and then istall it on your Nook Color. Although, I am running Nightly 202 and the entire Market is working for me with no modifications or anything. I think the fact that one of the nightly's changed the DPI to 160, either way, I still have access to the entire Market without modifications.

So I've come across a different problem. I'm trying to get netflix to work but the market tells me "Your device is not compatible with this item".
I looked around and I think I found a fix but I needed to install ES File Explorer..I went to download that and...
"Your device is not compatible with this item".
Thought maybe I could do it through Astro, but same message.
How do I get around this? Especially sicne any of the tricks I found to do it are unavailable to me because of the very same problem.
Thanks!

I had the same issue. What I did was upgrade to latest via ROM mgr pp WITHOUT checking 'load gapps' option which rebooted into latest CM7 nightly without gapps. Then rebooted into recovery, with gapps 0828 loaded on my sdcard, chose wipe cache option then loaded gapps. rebooted, had to reinit gapps but then it all worked.

You never mentioned what version of CM7 you are running. If it is older than nightly 200, install a newer nightly.

You need to download and flash a nightly above 200.

Running encore cm 7.2 from sd card on Nook color. All is working fine with the exception of the barnes and noble app I downloaded from google play. When it asks me to sign in I allways get a message that I must be connected to wi fi or 3 g . My wi fi is working fine (I have been downloading apps from the playstore no problem)Also I do have checked marked download from unknown
sources. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the barnes and noble app but still get the same message. Oh by the way I also run a new nexus 7 with JB and have the same app installed there and have no problem to sign in. Has anyone had this same problem? And if so what did you do to correct it . I do not run a dual boot card so its a pain in the butt to remove card every time I want to read one of my books. Helpppppp please.
I'm not really sure why the Nook app is acting up. You might try first clearing the dalvik cache with CWM. Second try going to settings and choose apps and select the nook app and clear cache and data.
As far as dual booting, that is automatically set up for you when you set up the SD. Just hold the n button while booting and a boot menu comes up that lets you select emmc (stock). The only thing you might need to do is set up your stock to use partition 4 instead of partition 1 of the SD for sdcard. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and I have a zip attached there that you can flash with CWM that will change that for you. Read item B3 in the second post of my thread.
Edit: I just realized you are on SD with that 7.2. To clear the dalvik cache on that, use root explorer to go to /data/dalvik-cache and delete all the files there.
Problem Solved
Thanks so much for your help. When I came home tonight I sat down one final time with the nook. Some of my apps when downloading seem to have lag ,to the point sometimes I have to start the download then let it run for several minutes and then get out of it and start again then it will download. I am beginning to wonder if its the write speed of my sd card. It is a 4 gig sanDisk so I was assumming it was ok. Anyway long story short ,every time I tried to sign in to my Barnes and Noble account I got a message you need wi fi or 3 g to connect. Well I was persistant and keep clearing the message then signing in .Well after signing in about 10 times it took and put me into my account. LOL Then it wouldn't sycn my library. So I did the same again sycn. sycn and sycn again . And again persistence prevailed . By the way I found that if you check your account while syncing library if your default credit card doesn't sycn your library won't sycn . So we are good for now. I still don't understand the lag though. I have tried writting different versions and updates for cm7 but they all seem to have a lag just in downloading apps from the market.By the way believe it or not cm9 seems to work quicker for my nook. Hoping nook color might get stable JB someday. It works fantastic on Nexus7 . Nook is fun to tinker with but limited horsepower. Again thanks for the quick response. You guys at XDA are all super.
