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
Is it possible on the stock software that you can sideload apps like adobe flash? Looked high and low and couldn't find a setting in the settings menu.

There is not a setting that you can modify. But if you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature, I have a flashable CWM zip that sets it for you. Look at item 3, Extras.

Yes, you can still use ADB to connect and sideload apps, but it is very difficult to set up. My CWM method is much easier.

I can vouch that I added the side load option through leaplinlar method and it worked out great. I wanted to test out stock before full commit to cm10 but wanted amazon app store to download some apps to test.

Hello guys from xda-developers.com, I desperately need your help. I just got a new Nook HD+ and I live in a country where is very difficult to access to the internet by anyway. So, I can’t register the HD+ to Barnes&Noble site, nor purchase apps or get the HD+ working on.
I just want to use the Nook as a no-wifi stand-alone device for reading, watching movies, gaming, and using apps like calendar, calculator, alarm clock and so on by finding a safe way for sideloading apps and files locally from my computer to it. How I should do this and get the Nook HD+ completely useful? Now the Nook is in test mode, skipping first registration screen with OOBE procedure after a factory reset. I need detailed step-by-step instructions.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash my Universal Root rev3 and my enable Unknown Sources and you can sideload any app you want. The hardest part for you will be getting a file manager working so that you can sideload. With no internet I'm not sure what you can do. If you don't have internet, how are you reading this?

Thanks. I did it and it worked up perfectly at first try. Later put reading files and apps on the external SD card and using OfficeSuite could read word and pdf files with no problems. But I could not find a way to run my own apps. How can I do that?. Sorry if that is a silly question but I am new to tablets world and I feel like a deer in the headlights (your saying) or like a cow at the movies (our saying). Greetings from Cuba.

Not sure what you mean, run your own apps. You mean after you installed them, finding them to run? There are two ways.
Sideloaded apps do not show in the stock app drawer. But you can open another screen that does show them. Go to apps and hold your finger on the apps title bar and push the volume up button. An new screen called extras shows. Your apps will be there.
Another way is to sideload an alternate launcher like zeam. Then when you hit the n key it gives you the option of using it by default instead of the stock launcher. Do it. Your sideloaded apps show there.

I meant: I want to run the .apk files I have on the external SD card which were copied on it by attaching the SD card reader to my PC. Explain me how to get those apps running or link to some tutorial. Thanks.

That is what I meant when I said you would have a challenge doing it without internet.
The problem is those apk files must be installed before they can be run. The normal way to install them after you flashed my zip is to open the apk with a file manager. When you do, a dialog box opens asking if you want to install. Easy enough.
But stock has no file manager to open the apks with. So you have to get one somehow. If you have no internet and no ability to run a store, there is no way to get one. You might try the 'files' function in stock to do it.
Edit: Actually I figured it out for you.
1. Find an apk for a file manager, like root browser, es file manager or other.
2. Copy that apk to your internal sd using your USB cable attached to your PC.
3. Open chrome with your app drawer.
4. In the chrome address bar type the following:
file:///sdcard/nameofapk.apk
5. Hit enter
6. It will ask if you want to keep it, say yes.
7. When it is finished downloading, click on the little down arrow in the top middle of the screen. It will ask if you want to complete the action using two choices. Select package installer.
It will install the apk, hopefully your file manager. Now do the first (extras) method I showed you in my other post to find the app. Then use the file manager to open more apks and install them.

I see I misused “run” for “sideloading.
Before trying that for sideloading a file manager tell me if there is another way to show the “extras” screen as it is difficult to get it show by pushing down volume up button and taping on App’s bar name. It not always work.
And why, if I see the Zem Launcher icon on Settings, Applications, My Apps, as installed, it doesn’t ask for choices when I push down “N” nook button.
Hope to make myself understood.

Yes, that extras screen is hard to activate.
But I have a fix for you. Go to settings and uninstall zeam. Then flash this file:
http://d-h.st/S0c
It is my old "extras" file (not related to the extras screen I was talking about earlier). It will re-install zeam and add root browser, which will let you install apks directly. And now when you do the n, it should give you the default choice.

I flashed the file and reinstalled zeam launcher plus root browser and could sideload the ES File Manager from external SD card but still have to active the "extras" screen to reach to it. Nook buttom doesn’t give options. When pushed down, it takes me immediately to nook side. Movies are not played back either. Is there a way to change completely the Nook system to convert it into a more friendly android tablet?

Yes, you can install CM10.1. Look for the dummies guide for instructions.

Yes. But I recommend making the CWM SD using my new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Follow item 1a, then do everything else per that thread you quoted.

So, all I have to do is to add the CM10.1 install file to the sd card I have been using until now to flash files, right?

The CM10.1.3. And yes, you can use that same SD to flash it. If you want to use Play Store, you also need to flash the gapps zip. Gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip from goo.im.
