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.
XDA love your site. I have learned so much. With that said I gave a stab at rooting my DS7 with gingerbreak which is found on your forum. It worked easily and quckly. I simply installed gingerbreak.zip to root sd card. Installed on the DS7. Plugged in the DS7 Via usb cable and clicked on the installed icon on the tab. Boom in 30seconds I was rooted. Just thought I would throw this in. In no way am I a developer. I consider myself a semi newbie. If this is allowed here. Thanks . If not excuse the placement. Just wanted to try to give back somthing for all of your amazing posts and work. Enjoy... Mops
I'm new to DS7 and afraid to brick my tablet. Can you elaborate what have you done?
1. Download Gingerbreak.zip to a formatted external SD card? Or you extracted to external SD card? I'm confused: ' I simply installed gingerbreak.zip to root sd card'
2. Installed on DS7. What does this mean?
3. Plugged in the DS7 Via usb cable and clicked on the installed icon on the tab. Where is the 'installed icon'? Are you using Windows XP or Windows 7?
Thanks for clarification

1. Download Gingerbreak version 1.2 from this link to your ds7 and take note where you download it to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
2. Install File Expert, a free file manager app from the android market.
3. Go into your Settings, Applications, and check the Unknown sources option (this allow you to install non-market app)
4. Go into your Settings, Applications, Development, and check the USB debugging.
5. Start File Expert and navigate to the folder where you have downloaded Gingerbreak.
6. Click on Gingerbreak to install it.
7. Start Gingerbreak app and choose Root device.
That's it, very simple. Happy rooting!
And by the way, good to meet a fellow Viet on XDA.
Cam on bro.
I tried to dl gingerbreak v1.2 to my ds7 but got error message 'not compatible with device'. Do I have to download to my computer and copy it to my ds7?

Take backup before doing this. all apps installed after this will go to SD card
1. Get the Google Android SDK
- Unzip the file and place the folder onto your desktop or anywhere that can be easily accessed.
- find the platform tools folder (default, it should be : adt-bundle/sdk)
2. - Open the folder called " platform-tools"
- shift+right-click anywhere inside the folder and choose [Open Command Window Here]
3. Go onto your Android phone and select USB debugging
- Go to [System settings > Developer Options] and select USB Debugging (if the option is grayed out, unplug your phone first)
4. Enter in the following
adb devices
adb shell pm set-install-location 2
adb shell pm get-install-location
5. - if you did it right, the last output should say: 2 [external]

1. I cannot confirm it will work

Hi guys
I am unable to move my apps to the SD card , apply the fix from the above link ,but this unroots the phone so i have to run the SuperSUv2.zip file again to root the device , please advice
I am unable to move apps to my sd card on Sony Z1 C6903
With ROM modified (ParanoidAndroid, Cyanogenmod, SlimKat, ecc...) it is possible move apps to sd without other application (FolderMount, Link2SD, Apps2sd)?

Hi mate
yes is the answer , what I had to do was apply ten different patches and use flashtool to rom the phone , this work , in xda search for App2SD card Z1 issue
Stickmount works perfectly with stock/rooted/decrypted N6..Now I dont need to worry about more storage..FYI guys..sweet..Run some movies with MX player. I am not in any way associated with Mr Chainfire..This is one way to show my appreciation to the king of rooting Mr.Chainfire himself who always open the flood gate for Android.. I highly recommend the pro version for more functionality. You can use the free version too..
You need to be rooted to run this app.
Update: Just update my N7 flo WiFi version to 501 ..Run stickmount and works flawlessly . Fire up some movies with MX player. Will update you guys when N5/N6 get updated to 501 hopefully.
UPDATE: Sorry guys/gals for the delay I update to 501 as soon as it came out but I am a little bit busy the past few days but .as usual stickmount works maybe there's not much that google did to 501 compare to 5..0 but any way it works so were back in business..

If you want to just read whats on the USB storage, try the app Nexus Media Importer.
If you want full read/write access, you need to root your phone and use an app like Stickmount.
Hit or miss

Stickmount works great, the usb drive shows up in a sub directory of "sd card". For TWRP you don't need stickmount just select usb as a storage option. I use USB to backup in TWRP works great.

hi ,
firstly ,
with your limited info etc ,it is difficult ,to pinpoint your problem ??
However ,i can give you insight in my setup and use ?
I have a Note5 N920 C model ,not rooted ,stock rom .
I have 2 x otg devices that i use and they work fine .
I can transfer multiple file ,pictures etc .no problem .
I use a 3rd party file manager Fx to do the job .
i have found that the Touchwizz file manager ,
to be sometimes unreliable ( on some of my other devices gives a error/force closes )
I thus use my preferred file manager Fx .( i have configured it t,o open if otg is inserted .
if stock /Touchwizz file mananger opens first ,i press back button out of My files and and normally Fx is also open under My Files app .
The way i see it it could be numerous reasons ..eg.
...is otg compatible with your device ?(it should be)
Have you cleared My Files data and cache in Application manager ?
I t even could be that you disabled a service /(eg Package Disabler )
and it thus have a knock on effect ?
resulting in the freezing etc ..?
If you rooted ,it can be many more other reasons .!!
Bottom line it should work ???
good luck
It's most probably the otg thumb drive you're using: i used to have the same problem with one i bought from amazon. In the end it stopped working (corrupting my microsd card along the way) so i decided to try one from Meenova next and have been using it for over 6 months now without any problems. Even just now i copied over 10Gb of data to the OTG drive without any problems.
