I have a nook color and had some problems with it updating to the newest bn software so I had to go through a lot of different procedures to get it back to the rooted version and now I am having problems getting the hidden settings app to download and work. I have tried to put the app by brianf21 on my nook but it wont work. When I download it I can't get it to open and run. I have searched some threads and found nothing so far. Any ideas on how to access my hidden settings? Are there other apps that will let me do this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
The setting to allow non market apps to install is the one on the top missing text.

What do you mean it is in the top missing text? Was there a link or download you posted or refereed to that I missed?
Thanks in advance
No... when you go into the nook tools one of the check boxes on the top is missing text... that is the Allow non market apps.

Really sorry to keep asking, but I am not able to see "missing text" in the tools. I have looked in the nook tools and in the apps under tools and I haven't seen anything that says "missing text"? Am I looking in the wrong place or is it possible that I am unable to see that based off what I did to root my nook? I had some problems with my nook auto updating on its own and had to go through a bunch of different steps to reroot it. I'm not sure if I installed everything I need to or if there is something I am missing?
Again thanks for all your help and I understand that it is probably a really easy fix, I just can't seem to find what I need to get it working.

I don't see any missing text in my tools?
So when I turn on my nook do I need to go "nook color settings"? Is there something special I need to go into on the settings? When I do this there is nothing out of the ordinary. I am not using CyanoBoot. Should I be? It seems like something is missing from my nook that is not allowing me to access the hidden settings that I need to stop it from auto updating. The instructions that everyone has told me so far seem very simple but I am just not finding anything in my tools that is missing text, which leads me to believe I don't have something downloaded that I should or maybe I am in the wrong thing on my nook.
I was looking at the app that brianf21 created and I have been unable to install this on my nook. Is that what I am missing to be able to access the hidden settings? I have tried to install this app and it won't allow me to. It fails when I try to download it onto my nook. On screen shots of the app brianf21 created I see "unknown sources" in the app settings but I don't have this available. Is this what I am lacking? And if so how do I install this app? I tried through app installed and a package installer and both failed.
Lets start over... tell us exactly what you have done so far as pertained to "rooting", since you originally state you "had to go through a lot of different procedures to get it back to the rooted version"... Knowing what you have really done will help us tremendously in trying to provide you some help.
Originally out of the box I had a nook color with 1.4.2 firmware and I looked online for how to root it and found some different threads on how to do this. On my sd card I downloaded the clockworkmod and manual nooter 5.02.19. When I did this I ended up with a rooted nook. I didn't do anything else after installing these on my nook until a few weeks ago when my nook auto updated and I ended up with 1.4.3 firmware.
After the update I was unable to access my android apps unless I shut the nook down and started it back up, this would give me access to my android apps for 30 sec to a min before going back to the barnes and noble screen, so I looked online in xda threads to see what I needed to do. I posted a thread on xda stating my situation and got a few different leads on what to do. The first thing I tired to do was just reroot my nook with the original files, which didn't work. After I tried that I started looking at threads on fixing partitions. I downloaded emmc-repair-partition-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip and emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip. After I put those on I had to do emmc-repair-partition-2.zip. Next I put on nookcolor-1-4-1-signed.zip and then reverted to 1.4.1 firmware. After that I used the same clockwork and manual nooter as I did the first time. Now I am rooted again but am unable to get the brianf21 hidden settings app to install. I want to prevent my nook from updating again to avoid any of this again.
I hope this helps solve my problem. There were a couple other reformat zips that I tried on my nook before the emmc repair ones, but they didn't seem to have any effect at all.
Thanks for all the help thus far it is really encouraging.
You went through a lot of extra steps... all you really needed to do was re-manual noter 5.02.19 after it updated... Anyway... after you manual nooter it... in the nook color tweaks app (i think that's what its called in mn) on the app installations there will be a checkbox on top that will not have any text describing it... that is the checkbox for allowing non market apps.

I downloaded the hidden tweaks app but I don't see any checkbox that is unchecked. In the tweeks there are settings for audio, boot, cpu, display, usb, 2 places to donate, and finally nook tweaks 1.4.3. I was trying to access the nook tweaks but when I click on it nothing happens. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help, but nothing has worked. I don't think I have the hidden text on my nook in the settings section. I have looked through all the settings and haven't been able to locate anything resembling what has been described. Maybe I am missing something on my nook that I should have downloaded to let me access the hidden settings.

You did not install a program called nook color tools as part of your rooting? That is where the settings are.
It is part of the package in manual nooter 5.02.19. The brianf21 app you see in the market is called hidden settings and is for the Nook Tablet.
You can get the Nook Color Tools app here.
Edit: After re-reading your original post, I see you are not looking to allow non-market apps, you are looking to stop the OTA updates. I don't think there is any setting in any nook color apps to do that. That brianf21 app has it, but that is for the Nook Tablet. I think you have to manually edit the settings database with root explorer/sql editing software. Search nook color forums for how to do that.

I do have the nook color tools on my nook. When I go into "color tools" what am I looking for? There are roughly 30 different settings in color tools, I have looked through many of them and not been able to locate anything that looks like missing text.
I have the nook color, not the tablet so does that mean the brianf21 app won't work for me? You are right that I am trying to stop OTA, but I thought that I needed the brianf21 app to do that. So are you saying that I don't need the brianf21 app? And there is another way for me to stop the OTA?
Thanks.

This has been such a long, confusing thread people lost sight of the fact that you were looking for blocking OTA. Almost all of the advice about missing text, etc was for allowing non-market apps.
As I said in my edited post above, The brianf21 app is for Nook TABLET and will not run on Nook COLOR. The Tablet is a completely different device and apps built for it will not work on the Color. And there is no Nook Color app to block OTA for you. Also as I said earlier, you must use the root explorer/ sql editor method to do it.
All I had to do was a simple search on Nook Color XDA for block OTA. Search is your friend. See the post here.
I don't see anything in the OP about blocking OTA... said he got OTA'd and re-rooted... and was having issues getting hidden settings app to dl and install... the advice given to that end was to provide assistance in getting (any non market) app to download and install... as that is what it appeared to me he was trying to achieve.
Maybe I'm just misreading it... I am DIZZY after all
You're right Dizzy, not about being dizzy, LOL, but about him not really revealing what he was looking for until several posts into this mess. He said he wanted to prevent the update from happening again and I knew brianf21's app had that setting. I guess I just read between the lines. Hopefully he is on track now.

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

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.

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!
Pretty much what it says in the thread title...I just did a Market update on my CM7 install and it showed an update for the Nook app to support magazines and newspapers. The only major functional difference between the stock reader and the market reader now is kids' read-to-me books. Nice update!!!
That's great, although it is lame that kids books aren't supported yet, even the *pad supports those!
Just updated, and couldn't get anything to work right! Just cleared the cache and rebooted to see it that helps
Great will update that's what was missing

Well allllright! Now I don't have to resort to annoying work arounds to read The Onion and Asimov's Science Fiction on the market Nook reader. It supports more magazines now too (for example, PC Gamer was "Nook Color" only, now it's "Nook Color" and "Nook for Android (Tablet)" which apparently means us...makes me curious how it's deciding what is a tablet and what isn't, if it makes a distinction...screen resolution I presume), so it's work a look for anyone who got some magazines on the Nook Color and can't read them now because they are on CM7 or something.
I think the interface is a bit better as well.
My books disappeared
I have a number of books loaded on my SD card( in the correct directory). After the update the books don't show up.
Any ideas?
edit: They showed up. Just had to wait a few minutes.

I'm not sure what to say, I didn't have any problems. Have you tried refreshing the the app? (that is, presing the refresh button up near the top of the screen underneath the search button within the app?)
I can't get the update to run on my nook color with 1.2 and manualnooker. There's an icon but when I tap it nothing happens no force close screens no error messages nothing. It's like the app isn't even installed.
I've got the same issue on my stock rooted original. Maybe it's not working because I haven't updated to the newest software version.
I also tried running it on my nexus, but my magazines will not show.

Not everyone has stock (rooted or not) still intact? Never mind, I gotcha (Thought you were referring to the earlier posters rather than later)
On another note, going to the store (and for that matter, any top-bar or bottom bar menu items, like menu, go to library (if in store), info, search) takes a long time to register. It's not my screen, because I can swap in and out of other apps and hit those spots without any lag or problems. Menu is not working for me at all

Bummer about the small buttons on the top right of the app..
FYI, search will work in app if you use the CM7 Tablet tweek search button. It will call up the BN apps search dialogue box, provided you have the option toggled on to show the search button on the status bar.

Good, that's about my only real complaint about it right now.
Looks like they didn't fix sideloaded books showing their covers. The nook app is the ONLY reader app that doesn't show my sideloaded books covers. Every other one i tried they work fine. Annoying.
Just be careful what you touch.. I was looking at magazines and saw NatGeo and thought hey, look, maybe I can preview it. So I tapped "Current Edition". Nothing happened. Tapped it again and it confirmed purchase for $6 for a single edition.
I've emailed B&N telling them to remove this and credit my CC back and that they should fix their horrid user interface.
First off it should VISIBLY change when there's money to be paid. Button changes color or BETTER the button is in a different position, such as a pop-up window that says "Your credit card will be charged X dollars, purchase/cancel". Not the same button that apparently is so laggy it doesn't update in time for folks to not realize tapping it twice in a few seconds will purchase it.
Meh.
I rooted my nook color and it works perfect, but i noticed when i unzipped the gapps file using clockwork nothing loaded. I was wondering if there is a way to get the android market without having to root all over again?. Any help would be

Same Problem!
Gods I HATE that my first post is a ... " ME TOO! " but what can you do?
I just got the NC yesterday, and of course rooted it right away with CM7 using huskermania's videos. Every worked fine EXCEPT no google apps! Removed the hacks ( thought I did it wrong ) did it again....no luck!
Are the current zip files bad? ( Ive tried both gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip )
any suggections ?
Tom
I've got the same issue, followed eyeballers instructions and used gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip.
Besides the missing market icon, everything seems to work fine.
EDIT: Found a fix for the issue on my nook; Went to https[://]market[.]android[.]com, tried to install something. I was prompted to accept the license agreement and set up my Google account with market.
Then I was asked which Google apps to install (youtube, google search, gmail, etc.), ticked what I wanted and confirmed.
Now I have the market icon available, also some more icons in the menu. As the WiFi was pretty unstable (Restaurant during lunch break) not all of the apps were downloaded, but so far it seems to work.
Thank you for the quick response. I tried going to the market and install, but when it ask where to download app the drop down menu does not give me the option of my nook color. Did i miss a step somewhere?

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...

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 just told you in the section that you quoted. Use the old market!

Total noob here, just got my nook color last week. I have CM7 on an SD card and I am having the 'no download button' problem. Can you point me how I can install the old market? Thanks.

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.)
When I first power up the device I can see the the dialogue window apps gve you when one is asking for permissions as it installs. It is then covered up by the nook 'desktop'
is there any way I can identify / force this process to the front so I can see what it is ? its 2.0.6 rooted with cwm.
thanks
I'm not sure what it is, but if you flashed the location services zip, it could be that dialog box asking for permission to use location services. But my experience is that only tries once and, if not acted on, does not come up again.

I know adblock plus is for Firefox, but be careful if it is asking for permission to write to /system.
