CM7.1: B&N Nook App does not seem to work @ 160dpi

Anyone else having trouble running the Nook Android App with CM7.1.0 stable with the default 160dpi setting? I just migrated my NC from 7.0.3 to 7.1.0 and I'm having issues with the magazines (they are all "on top" of one another when you try to expand the stack) and the informational windows are all the wring size. I tried clearing data from manage applications and also uninstalling and resinstalling the app. Nothing seems to fix it. It's kind of a pain.

It is a known issue and a problem with the app.

So, there is not a fix for it currently. What I end up doing is archiving all the magazines but the one I want to read and the archive it when I'm done and unarchive the new one. Its a long process but it works. I don't want to have to change my DPI every time I want to read. Maybe someone will decompile the API and see what they can do to it, just like the original Netflix APK.

Thanks for the info, guys. It seems ironic that the nook app would not work properly on the nook. I guess I will just do the archiving thing until B&N gets it straight.

B&N App
Download LCD density set it to 161 ,reboot and your nook App will work as it should .

That will screw up the market. You can use it to change the density for the session but I would not set it to remain on reboot.

A possible solution for you
I use Nook Odds and Ends from the Market. Set dpi to 150 and all works well for me. I am on Phiremod, but it is based on CM7 so should get same results.

160 actually cause more problem for me so i've switched back to the stock default 169.3333
161 also work

anyone have system image?

I seem to have run into an issue. After rooting my kindle fire hd 7" and installing google play I lost my notification bar and my bottom bar. I basically can only enter one app at a time and if I want to switch I have to reset. I have no access to settings, because the only way I know is to go through the notification bar.
Other than waiting for skorpn cable to get into fastboot, any other way I can possibly get this fixed?

I can pull mine off if you want

I have been dealing with the same issue for hours and was getting ready to throw in the towel and order a cable. This worked perfectly! Thank you

Just glad to hear you can enjoy your kindle again.

i just had the same thing happen to me on unrooted kindle fire hd. I had just searched the forums last night and found out how to get gmail and reader onto my kindle... well I heard a notification and then it disappeared so I knew it had to be something. it IS new email in the inbox of your primary gmail account it seems. it is definitely tied to gmail. I went in and it came back and hasn't disappeared since. there's my two cents' worth of troubleshooting. just thought everyone would like to know.

You guys need to post in the tool you are using to root your Kindle's. There are MANY of you that are having the same issues with loosing your navbar and menu bars with this rooting process. This should NOT be happening.. If you are experiencing bugs with a automated root tool than you need to post in that thread to ask the developer of the tool...

[Q] Rooted Kindle Keeps Resetting Itself?

Hey forum.
Before I begin, I'd just like to say this forum is incredible Been a massive help so far! So big thanks.
Anyway, I recently rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7". Incredible, and one of the bets decisions Ive made in regards to my tech.
However, after a few days, it seems to "de-root" itself. My Go Launcher HD disappears (reset to Home), the special offers come back (the ads on the lock screen - i change that as soon as im rooted), and the Superuser disappears. I still have Google Play Store etc, and can reinstall Superuser. The problem is, it still seems not to be rooted any longer.
I use ES3 file explorer, with the root manager, and after this rubbish happens, when I try to access the root manager i get "Test failed. Your phone is not compatible" or something like that.
So I simply reroot, and it's all back to normal (albeit with some annoyances such as having to reinstall Go Launcher).
I've not blocked OTA updates, so is it that?
Thanks for any help!
Ben.

I believe Amazon has updated the OS a few times over the last week or so. This will "de-root" the device each time.

wallpaper issue update 8.4.3
Since the first update to 8.4.1, i have been problems with wallpapers of my kindle fire HD 8.9''. I re-rooted the kindle many times, and actually i tried different launchers as nova or go launcher, however the wallpaper is impossible to change. ¿Some ideas to fix it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295750
On page 8 I posted a fix for the wallpaper, but I have hit and miss problems with bricking, suggest having a factory cable or twrp handy in case something happens. Feel free to try it.

There are some way to do this easier??? or what files we need to modify...
I see that you use CM10.1 why did you change it? I would like to change but there are a few issues with this so If i have a stable system (however the wallpaper doesnt work) why i should change?

I changed because I wanted to try cm10.1 then said to myself this is so much better, also I'm staying with cm10.1 because I don't like where amazon is going with the os, they just released another update that makes my fix not work because it now has an encrypted framework-res.apk, and I don't know if I can unobfuscate it, still waiting on someone to send me the new framework-res so I can analyze it. And i heard a rumor that they are going to patch the root exploit soon so i prefer stay in on something else that I don't have to constantly maintain and have compatibility problems with. Oh and despite then fact that cm is slightly unstable, i would call it stable enough to use overall. I having had the buggy mic issue yet nor have I had the 3d render issue when I played a 3d game, only problem I had was Google music related and I am not sure if other people have had it. I think HDMI may be slightly buggy but I don't know I have no minihdmi to HDMI cables. But having a full android is is worth it in my opinion, though if you use amazon prime I guess that would be reason enough to not change changes over because there's no such thing outside of kindle os from what I understand. Ironically most of my reading I do on a kindle isn't books but manga... So I have not really touched the bookstore.

Either flash CM10 or Hashcode's ROM that stops OTA updates.

KFHD won't register with Amazon after root

A few days ago I rooted my KFHD and it worked great, this morning, I turned on my kindle and it had deregistered it's self and only gives me an error when I try to re register. Any suggestions or reasons for this sudden registration problem?

I would try clearing your caches, I only say this because I remember after clearing the cache and dalvik cache a long time ago it deregistered my mom's kf1, and while that is a different model, if anything is similar in how it works maybe clearing the cache might clear what's not letting it register. I think titanium backup has an option to do it for you or I can give you a command I don't remember off the top of my head you can run from a mobile terminal or adb shell.

After much tinkering, I think I need to do a reimaging, which sucks, but I also had applied a wallpaper fix and it makes the status bar disappear even after I restored the framework file. I'll just turn it off for a few days I guess.

Yea I need to release an update to fix that problem... I think its related to the dalvik cache. I added a wipe to the coding recently for the dalvik cache but I haven't released it yet because I was going to add it to v3 when its released, but I ran into a snag, the idme command isn't included in twrp and I don't know if its included in amazon os... Anyways clearing your cache and dalvik cache should fix the problem.

Nope, didn't do the trick, any other ideas?

I heard gmail causes a notification bar problem, you wouldn't happen to have that installed would you?

[Q] Will apps designed for Kindle work on ROM'd KFHD?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and didn't find what I was looking for...
I am currently running Kinology 3.2 and would like to switch to CM11, but I use several Kindle apps (such as this)
Will these apps still work if I'm running CM11?
Thanks

I don't know or not, most apps work, but I will say this I don't know about apps from Amazon's store, last time I transferred a free app from one kindle to another it threw a fit and said I didn't own it which I laughed at since it was free. If its in the Google market you can always get it that was assuming its free, or backup its apk and make a backup in twrp of kinology, then flash cm and install the app and see what happens.

Yes apps from the amazon appstore will work. I have cm11 and installed the appstore and downloaded apps I had on there.

I think he's asking if apps specific to Kindle work. There's several apps that have "Kindle Edition" versions. hamiltonfighter, I do not think they will work. But you can try, it won't hurt anything.
