[Q] CM7 and Nook App

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.

[GUIDE] A Noobs Guide to Getting Started with a Custom Rom on the Nook Color

A Noobs Guide to Getting Started with a Custom Rom on the Nook Color
So you heard about the nook color. How it's a cheap e-reader that can be pushed to the limit and you are wondering how you can enable this power for yourself. Well you came to the right place!

b. internal install
3. Restoring to Stock
4. Other Cool Stuff
5.Issues
6. Conclusion
7. Changelog (Last update 1/10/12)
1. Why you should NOT use Honeycomb
So you've heard about how the Nook Color can run Honeycomb and you are thinking that you want to try it. I mean why not? It's a tablet OS and the Nook is supposed to be turned into a tablet right? Well here's how it is. Honeycomb unlike other versions of Android is not an open source release. That means that developers cannot see how it works and have to reverse engineer basically the entire thing. This leaves you will something that barley runt because of countless missing drivers and many bugs from the SDK simulator. Honeycomb is a very painful and unstable experience. Do not use it. Wait for the next version of Android codename Ice Cream Sandwich to come out. For now use CM7. To check on the progress of CM9 (AKA ICS) check out this thread where you can find the first alpha builds.
2. SD or Internal install
The first decision you need to make is if you want to install CM7 (Android) over your current stock firmware or to run from an SD card.
a. SD Install
The benefit of running from an SD card is that you get to keep your Nook's current stock rom along side your Android install. The downside is that Android will run terribly if you do not use the correct SD card.
When running from an SD card use ONLY a SANDISK CLASS 2 or 4!
Take a look at this thread here for why you need to use a Sandisk:
Instructions for installing to an SD card
b. Internal Install
I recommend you do an internal install just because it is more stable and a lot easier to troubleshoot and upgrade to a newer CM version. If you ever need to return to stock it is very easy (see part 3).
To install to your internal memory follow this guide
Remember if you have a newer Nook that came with stock version 1.2 or above you may want to follow the repartitioning instructions here to have more space available to save files.
3. Restoring to Stock
So something happened and you need to return to stock. You need to make a warranty claim, register you device with BN, or whatever.
Here is what you need to do
When you are done you will have a complete stock Nook to do whatever you want with.
4. Other Cool Stuff
Watch Hulu with a hacked flash app
Make your Nook more Honeycomb like with TransformerBread
5. Issues

N64oid won't work!!!!
Starting with N64oid 2.0 and above the new .32 Nook kernel used in CM7 does not work with N64oid.
Solutions:
Use a version of N64oid before 2.0
Use an older version of CM7 without the .32 kernel

Overclock/undervolt is included in the CM7.1 kernel.
Overclocking is built in to the CM settings. To undervolt you need to use the Nook Tweaks app.

Link provided by koolkid was for 1.0.1 but I think it was the standard procedure for any other version.
I'm eager to learn a new, better way.

I just substitute the full 1.3 .zip for the CM7 and gaaps .zips when booting with the original install image and it works fine. I recommend everyone who installs CM7 to the eMMC save their original install SD card for future needs and buy a 2nd one for use with CM7. The 1.3 .zip now seems to be missing from the drop box site though so someone will need to repost it. It was linked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&page=29

Thanks for a very useful thread ... even though I already have mine running on CM7 since last month, really grateful for the info regarding the Facebook FC.
I'm still very much a noob at this.
One suggestion for more info regarding an issue which many noobs like me may have: How to expand the partition to use the rest of the SD card. On my 16Gb card, it now has four partitions: Boot, 2x unallocated, and Storage. Using EASUS PartitionMaster, how do I expand the fourth partition ? Do I have to delete the two unallocated ? Any further info regarding this would be very much appreciated !!
If I use App2SD, which partition would those programs go to ? Seeing that I already booted from SD, the Apps are already on the SD, right ? No need to "move to SD" ?
Thanks ahead for the schooling !!

For your first question: just right click the 4th partition, select resize and then make sure everything is selected.
For your 2nd question: I'm not exactly sure as I do not use an SD install. Maybe someone else with more SD booting experience can help but what I am thinking is that all of your apps are on the 2nd or 3rd partition but when you use app2SD they get moved to the 4th partition.

Unfortunately you cannot use the 8 failed boot method if you replace the stock recovery which most do when installing CM. That is why I used the method I did with this guide. It works no matter what is on your internal memory.

I'm probably slow but your provided link is for rooting the 1.2/1.3 NC using ManualNooter. It has nothing to do with reverse back to stock ROM.
And, the complete wipe near the bottom of the first post, again, has nothing to do with reversing if currently running custom ROM on eMMC.

A mod should definitely sticky this...most helpful thread I've read in the general forum yet.

Thank you so much
I just got a refurbished Nook Color and after hours of searching and reading I came across your post. This guide is a like a mother-load of good links and clear instructions. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. It has really helped me understand what was needed to get my NC up and running.

This is a really helpful guide for beginner.
I want to ask some thing about the whole workflow. I've used other Android phones to play with rooting and flashing new roms, but NC is quite new to me. So still need to make sure about something.
In this guide, there is nothing about rooting. And when I use CM7 from a SD card, I don't have to do that and already got the su in terminal. So I suppose if I just flash CM onto the eMMC, I'll get root access anyway. I don't have to root it right now in its stock system, right?

-Updated the Restoring to stock guide to use a 1.3 and the newest clockwork it's on Android Central for now but I might move it over here if I get some time.

Nope, no need to root if you are going to flash CM7 because of the ability to boot a custom recovery from an SD card.

[TOOL] 1Click_CWR

I have made a small utility that will install CWR on the LG thrill. Untested on the optimus 3D....
Thanks to designgears for outlining the original procedure in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
WARNING:
Your warranty is now void.
I take no responsibility for bricked, dead, or unresponsive phones. If you are uncomfortable using this tool, then DON'T. Furthermore, I created this utility for my phone, and decided to share it with the community.
This utility was coded in c# in a windows 7 environment. I can only speak to this working on windows 7. If it works on XP, great; but I only tested it on my windows 7 system. Confirmed working in XP by: gentzleon
Before you begin:
Phone must be rooted!!! Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251663
Must have an SD card in the phone.(This is used for the storage of the recovery backup)
Drivers MUST be installed! ( Direct Link: Here)
Instructions:
1). Plug phone into computer via USB cable.
2). Turn on USB Debugging mode
3). Launch 1click_CRW with admin privilages (right click->run as Administrator)
4). Enjoy
Notice
Because people have different computer speeds and the fact I wrote this in 10 minutes, there is a pause between each command. Just click 'ok' when the popup messages says waiting.....Its fool proof.
ALSO: I did not put any error checking in it because I did not feel the need. I created this for fun and decided to share it.
If you see an error from ADB like no devices found, make sure your drivers are installed and restart the computer.

Sure no prob at all.

This installed cwr just fine but when i try to make a backup or install a new rom it says error cannot mount sd card does anyone know y this would happen

Freaking sweet. I was hoping to find something easier to do this with that having to go through the other method to flash GB Roms. That is what this is for right?

All those having problems installing, make sure all your permissions to /data are checked-(all 9) if not you will not be able to install recovery...
To set permissions you must;
Have root explorer or the free app ES file explorer.
---Navigate to /data and press and hold
---Select properties
---you will see at the bottome where it says permissions an option to change
--- Select change and make sure all are checked.,
---click out, reboot phone and it should all work..
There have been instances where the folder will change back permissions or not save the new permissions so just perform it again... Enjoy the 1 click CWM Now If this could be included in the script it will make it fool proof.....

I think I may change this app and create it in a windows form...I will have a button that follows the same procedure as it does now, and a second button to fix permissions..However, should I have it apply the permission change to the entire /data? Seems unsafe to me, but I'm paranoid.
Also, work has been long, and my wife and I are in the final process of buying a new house. So that is why I haven't been on much.

[Q] How to root Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE P7320 w/o SD card?

Hi all,
Trying to follow OTA ICS for GT-P7320 Tutrioal, and I fail miserably at "second" - I'm unable to get root access.
Seems like my model is quite peculiar - it's without SD card slot. This seems to be my tab.
The guides state that the SD card slot should be used:
How to root your device
After cwm installation, rooting your device is pretty straight forward:
1. Download Superuser.zip: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
2. Put it on your sdcard.
3. Start cwm recovery as described above.
4. Select "install zip from sdcard" -> "select zip from sdcard"->"Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip" and confirm selection by choosing "Yes - Install ....."
Step 4 may abort with some error, but if you repeat it for maybe 2,3 or even 4 times, it will finish successfully.
Your phone is now rooted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Without an SD card slot, what do I do? And how come the guide is mentioning SD card when that's not an option on this model (at least not on my tab)? Do I need a usb-adapter of some kind?
I've searched here and elsewhere for an explanation, and most of all I'm surprised noone seems to have asked about this... So please help me, what am I missing here?

Download superuser to your download subdirectory, it'll default to this directory. Form cwm got to that directory.

Root the mysterious sgh i957 lte att 8.9 tab
elcash said:
Hi all,
Trying to follow OTA ICS for GT-P7320 Tutrioal, and I fail miserably at "second" - I'm unable to get root access.
Seems like my model is quite peculiar - it's without SD card slot. This seems to be my tab.
The guides state that the SD card slot should be used:
Without an SD card slot, what do I do? And how come the guide is mentioning SD card when that's not an option on this model (at least not on my tab)? Do I need a usb-adapter of some kind?
I've searched here and elsewhere for an explanation, and most of all I'm surprised noone seems to have asked about this... So please help me, what am I missing here?

Me too 4 years after you have tried. There still is not a solid tutorial on how to do this on this specific device! To boot I updated to 4.0.4 which makes it even more confusing. I am new to this and really exited to research and learn which I have been doing for week sitting here recovering from surgery. There must be someone out there that has done this successfully.

The sdcard folder is in the system folder. Download "File Explorer FX" from playstore . Open FX, select the folder system, then you should see the "sdcard" folder in there. I am a non band had the same problem.

[Q] Help enabling unknown sources on 2.2.0

I was looking into the CWM thread regarding the matter and didn't see anything referring to the most recent stock firmware. I'm wondering if the process detailed will even work right, and whether the
"File Type: zip NookHD-HDplus-stock-enable-Unknown-Sources-rev0-(09.08.13).zip - [Click for QR Code] (727.9 KB, 7194 views)"
download would be the one I need.

You need to follow the steps to make a bootable CWM SD in section 1a of my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. From looking at your screen shot, you are just copying the whole files to your SD. You need to follow the guide. Specifically you must unarchive (extract) the BOOTFILES rar file and follow the steps to make the bootable CWM SD. Once you make the CWM SD, you only need one file, the enable unknown sources zip. You do not need the rest of those files.
