I wish I done did code...=(
This question was asked earlier in the "Nook Color - General" section but to no avail.
Is there anyway to permanently fix the stock soft notification/menu bar??
Essentially that would eliminate the need for an additional softkey app. That paired with Zeam seems so much more elegant to me.
Any help or suggestions in the matter would be much, MUCH appreciated.
here's my question. has anyone worked on a way to get to the bluetooth settings?
according to this [granted, may not be reputable source] the ability is there, just not in the software.
With so many apps able to capitalize off of bluetooth in android phones, I have to think that bluetooth capability would be huge on the NC, especially given people's distaste for virtual keys.
Just a thought.
Just to answer to the source. The processor itself is already known to support Bluetooth, so that part is tre, it IS there. But no, we haven't gotten far enough to actually turn it on. Soon though
Finally I found the solution. Deleted
Dual booting with wince from a microsd card will be great achievement.
[Question] Pull and Push wallpaper ?
I asked this question earlier but never got any replies.
Is there any way to pull a stock wallaper off the NC and then push it back to the NC ? I want to try and replace a few of the stock wallpapers with my own, but I want them to be in the actual (hidden) system folder were they (B&N) put the stock wallpapers that come with the NC. ./system/media/wallpapers
I am not a coder but I think it could be done.... any one ?
Thanks
I don't know why you'd want to, but I just tried the following and it worked:
adb shell
# mount -o remount rw /system
# exit
adb push whateverimage.png /system/media/wallpapers
adb reboot
That's all it takes -- trivial if you know how to use adb. If you don't, well....

adb no longer sees the nookcolor. This pc and adb have been what was used for the majority of my nooking.... no problem till today.
windows mounts the internal drive, and is editable but adb cant push or pull and adb devices doesnt see it...
uninstalled and reinstalled and no change, including driver uninstall and reinstall...
nookcolor works with adb on another pc, so its not the nook...
last night (this am early) windows did a dozen or so updates so I suspect that but not sure.
Anyone else see this happen and have a suggestion??

IDK about the wonky launcher button, but you should be able to open the launcher and hold the icon of the app you want on the screen. Once its there, place it wherever you please.
Hey guys.
I rooted a few days ago using supernooter2.0. Then used autonook_0.8 to get market gmail and youtube working.
So far everythings working as desired but i don't have the android calendar.
I know Autonook 2.xx includes it...but id rather not go through all that unnecessarily.
Can someone post the calendar apk.
Is that all i need to get calendar working?

Is Setcpu safe?
I see conflicting reports on other threads, so I thought that I would ask here. Is Setcpu safe to use on the nook? I have it set to min=600, max=800 and on demand, set on boot.
I'm particularly worried about the "set on boot" as some have suggested that it could cause problems.

VERSION 1.0.1 WITH BUGFIXES:
Some people have had some trouble with the previous version of this app, so I have made some fixes. I'm pretty sure that if any of the problems that have been reported recur, it's because of the way VooDoo deals with disabling itself.
The link below is now to the current version.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and support!
Hi all.
I've just created my first Android app, and I hope the folks here might find it useful.
It has two functions:
1) it detects the presence or absence of the /sdcard/voodoo directory (and thus the presence or absence of Voodoo), and allows the user to toggle Voodoo on or off.
2) it allows the user to reboot, either a normal reboot or a reboot to recovery with a single button press.
Naturally, it requires root access.
I've found this is a pretty easy way to switch Voodoo on and off when flashing ROMs, kernels, and all that stuff.
I know there is something similar on the Market, but I wanted to make my own as a learning experience, and I also wanted a "Reboot to Recovery" button.
This one is also free, and the source is available on github (I'm sure my code sucks, but I honestly don't know why. If someone were to feel like explaining it to me, I'd sure appreciate it! ).
The usual installation procedures apply:
Method 1:
Download the file below to a location on your local computer in your $PATH and type:
adb install RebootButton.apk
Method 2:
Drop the file below to a location on your SD card and navigate to it using Astro, Root Explorer or another file manager (these are the two I use). In Astro, click on the file, then select "App Manager" then "Install"
In Root Explorer, select the file, then select "Install".
That's it.
Here it is:
http://www.zennmaster.com/Android/RebootButton.apk
I'll be sending this to the Market as soon as I can whip up an icon.
Suggestions and feedback are more than welcome!
I wish to sincerely thank all those very smart folks, around here and on IRC, for all the inspiration they didn't even know they were giving me, as well as all the cool toys that created the need for this app in the first place!
The application and the source code are both hereby released under the GPL.

The App won't uninstall Voodoo completely, it just creates and removes the correctly named file from the appropriate directory.

So basically it just adds the disable_lagfix file in sdcard/voodoo folder?
Still someone will benefit from that.
So in practice hitting the voodoo off creates the file and places it on sdcard and reboot obviously reboots, wait 10 minutes and voila
Still thats two clicks and done, a nice move for the lazy or the ignorant not meant to be disrespectful, ignorant simple means lacking knowledge
Just installed but haven't used it yet.
Quick question (since i'm still new to all of this.) When rooting and installing lag fix on my SF a couple days ago, the instructions I followed did not include making a nandroid backup. If I use the app to disable lag fix, can I create a nandroid backup and then re-enable lag fix using the app?

AFAIK, the Voodoo kernels we know and love can only disable the lagfix by looking for that file.

Exactly.
To be honest, I think a lot of the trouble people around here have been having with disabling the lagfix has been with what essentially amounts to typos. Getting the file name wrong, or putting it in the wrong place will only lead to frustration and Voodoo enabled. Automating the process takes out a lot of opportunity for error. At the very least, like you say, two clicks and done is a lot less work.

The lit up buttons with no screen, and it doesn't reboot completely. Then I have to Odin a few times and redo the clean update quite a few times, get all the force closes, redo it all again, then it finally, magically, works. Those gremlins get me sometimes. Again, thanks for all this, I'll test it when my patience comes back and let you know.
This is useful. Thank you.
Hey Saps, a little off-topic I know but...where did you get the circle battery mod? I'm running bubby's Magic ASOP and I really like the black mod. I installed what was supposed to be just the circle mod from one of the themes but it gave me the whole theme. I like how yours apparently shows the "red,yellow,green" based on charge. How do I apply just that mod without changing bubby's black mods?
Getting Google "CLOUD" Music Sync working on the Fascinate (Froyo, not tested on 2.1)
Figured out how to get google music sync working on the fascinate and decided to share it with everyone!
Tested and working on DarkREVENGE v1 (and I assume v2) and Super Clean 2.8 however I suspect this will work on many roms and devices! doubt this will work on any 2.1 devices seeing as the APK is 2.2+ sorry for those of you running 2.1..
Now tested on MiUi Fascinate 1.2.25 and confirmed working!!
IMPORTANT: Your music must be set up like this sd/media/music if it is not located there it will not be uploaded to the cloud!
Known issue(s) You cannot manage your "cloud" just yet there is no web interface yet and i'm assuming this is still in the "testing" phase.
Now lets get to the fun!
Install this apk (adb push or install as a normal APK) make sure that Music.apk is deleted already if not go ahead and do that right now.

You should see "Music & "Jumpertest" after installing.

}
go to account settings and to your google account you should now see "Sync Music" PRESS IT! and let it sync.
When that is done go into your app drawer and open up "Jumpertest" click on the "Controls" tab
Don't forget to click the "Accounts" tab and check off your gmail account it should ask for permissions (you will see an upside-down triangle with a !) in the status bar.
Next click on "Start Peer" it should work IF you do get an FC try reinstalling the apk or maybe rebooting IF you get a "authtoken error" go back into account settings and click on "Sync Music" again and try again!
(if all went well you should see "Peer started")
Next go ahead and click on "Import Local Media"
(once again if all went well you should see "Import complete")
Now that is all setup and time to access your music on the "CLOUD"
Go ahead and open up the Music app
Press the "Menu" softkey on your Fascinate to bring up the menu popup and select "Library Options" and after that select "Streaming Only"
(If you are not a complete newb or illiterate) you should now see your music that is on the cloud! Yay for clouds
If it did not work this means you are likely incapable of following directions that a five year old probably could and you should not have a rooted device!
However if it does not work and you are 9000% sure you did everything correct please list what rom you are on and method of installing the apk.
Hope you all enjoy and give me thanks if you found this helpful
If you can't take the harsh sarcasm (not really) in this post then please get off XDA and do not attack me on this thread.. do you guys not have anything better to do? if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all! Thanks.

Was pretty fast for me and the perks are being able to access your music from the cloud and bigger storage space than an SD card if you don't mind moving your music collection in "waves" to your SD card as I said this is not final but it's working and working well until we get something more "official"

Hey "bro" why don't you lay off your high horse. DiGi is learning and progressing, not seeing anything come from you, but yet you want to sit here and say he has an attitude??
1. If you felt the need to look at this post (not being a mod) then this interest you, so shut it and if you dont like it, then move along.
2. IRC is a place for chat and learning hint the abbreviation "Internet Relay Chat". It doesn't say "yes were going to be nice to you and hold you hand", once again get off your high horse.
3. Quit being a **** on the forums, yeah you're cool. How about this, quit dishing hate on others work, unless you take time out to work on something your self, and then have tons of questions asked to you, and see how frustrating it becomes. I highly doubt he was being a "****" or "juvenile" about anything, it's just the way you seemed to take it.
At this time, there is not a way to get it from your desktop to the cloud. Seeing as how you are not even supposed to do this yet..... that feature has not been implemented lol
BTW, anyone calling digi bad names is a complete douche, I <3 digi, he has never acted like an ass or anything that I have EVER seen..

You would have to plug your phone into your PC, transfer the music to the proper folder you have setup for this app and then synch. All music in that folder will be uploaded to Google's servers so you can access it at anytime from the APP.

Hello everyone,
I can't get Netflix to work on my rooted Nook Color 1.2 (blue circle) with Honeycomb 3.0 (Deeper Blue's). I've downloaded the latest version of Netflix from the market and when I try to launch it briefly shows a black screen, then returns to the apps menu.
My setup is HC-v4-emmc and clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.
I've tried changing the build.prop settings to both the HTC/HTC Vision and samsung/Nexus S, and nothing changes.
I've searched all over the web and I can't find a solution.
I'd appreciate anyone's help to get Netflix running for me.
Thanks!
The Honeycomb builds for the Nook Color are little more than tech demos, not to be used as "daily drivers". The builds lack hardware overlay which you will find is necessary for pretty much any video playback, even if it did work it would be software emulated and you wouldn't have a video, you'd have a slideshow...
Thank you so much for the information, I didn't know that!
What build/OS do you suggest I use to root my Nook Color? I'm looking to use Netflix, web browsing, the Google suite (calendar, email), enterprise email, and stored video browsing pretty regularly.
Thank you again.
I highly recommend the CM7 nightlies, rock stable and very speedy with the overclock. You can grab the latest build here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore , I'd recommend flashing it onto the emmc for the speed advantages. Dolphin HD for web browser, Mobo player for video, Samba app for wireless file transfer to the Nook, CifsManager to wirelessly mount your PCs shared folders to the Nook(great for streaming video and music). Just a few recommendations to get you started, you can find all those apps in the market...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but what overclock settings do you recommend?
I'm rolling with 1200mhz for my highest step>875mhz>525mhz>425mhz>300mhz for the lowest with the ondemand governor.
Joe,
Thanks again for the help, you were right on. I installed the latest CM7 nightly and I'm up and running.
Unfortunately, now the market doesn't show Netflix as an app. I'm guessing I have restricted access to the market where certain apps don't show. Any idea on how to address this? I tried the directions online to clear the market data/cache but that didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you just want netflix, you can grab the latest version in the thread from my signature.
Otherwise, a little explanation is at hand, Google just recently updated the market app and it seems to have some issues, some major issues, we are waiting for Google to fix the issues. In the meantime there is a work around, you'll have to edit your build.prop and change your dpi to 160, reboot, then go to settings>applications>manage applications>all> and clear the data from the market app. Your market will work fine for a while and then start acting up again, at that point you'll need to clear the market data again, wash rise repeat...
Thanks for the advice, I changed qemu.sf.lcd_density to 160 and I'm now able to download apps that were previously listed in the marketplace but not downloadable (e.g., Flash Player, Facebook), but Netflix is still not showing up. I installed it from your link though. Any other ideas on why it may not be showing up?
Oh, I forgot, I also made these changes to my build.prop
ro.product.model=SCH-I500
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=SCH-I500
ro.product.device=SCH-I500
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Which should get you around the device filtering Google has implemented and make most if not all apps available to you.

Did you download it from the market? Yes it shows up if you sideload it but I have never been able to get it to show up the market using any build.prop edits. If it does show up it probably will not have the option to download it.

Its also probably the reason you don't see an uninstall option because it came from an outside source

It was side loaded because it is the version I made without the rotation lock, but that is not why it is showing up. I uninstalled it and then searched for Netflix
Like i said, the build.prop edits work if you do it right.

Does the build.prop edit work with 176+ and 3.1.3? I just tried with no luck. Movies shows up in Market and I can play trailers, but Netflix does not show in the search. I went for a sideload and that works fine. Just wondering...

It works, along with the 160 dpi change you need the "make & model" change, then clear the data from your market through >settings>applications>manage applications> once you've done all that then you should be good to go.
Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)

The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Ha ha, I went ahead and installed it anyway, and it pretty much looks the same as the last one, except there are finally options to turn off update notifications, AND now all the apps that were showing as update available, but didn't have an update, are finally gone. This is an excellent update. Thanks for the find!

Installing Android Market APK
Could use a little help here. Put a new ROM on my wife's phone, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Market on it. Every time I download the APK for the Market though, it asks me if I want to assign an account to it, which I choose Yes, and then it closes. I'm going to keep working on it, but if anyone has any ideas, please help!

There's a thread by darkside that has several flashable versions of themed markets. Try those. They worked for me without any issues.

Same issue here more it less. Working apps wont update. Says incompatible. My issue is due to change to LCD density. My solutionw was simple. Stopped using new market. Every time it updates I uninstall the update.

Just had the market update to 3.1.5 a few minutes ago, but I don't see any differences. Anyone know what changed?

Can you upload it? I did not know there was an update. Curious if it fixes the account switching bug in .3.
EDIT: nevermind... it does not fix the bug.
thank you, this new is better ;D
2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.
Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.

Mine only says "Unavailable" because I skipped out of box experience and didnt register to test this. :| yours will still have your email and everything linked so dont worry!
Alright, I'm going to start off with saying that what this does is turn off FOTA for you by modifying data for devicemanager. How do you do it?
Well, let's begin.
12/22/11: New tweaks, FOTA checkin timer = 0 (no checks anymore), Build key difference, FOTA mode = disabled and a few other FOTA tweaks.
First: Download the files unzip them, and put all 3 into the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard (you need to download Titanium backup from market for this just FYI).
Then start titanium backup, grant root if you havent already and restore "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" and then poof! You have now blocked OTA's. I'll actually try and make this happen in my script so new people can do it but you can tell if it worked by going into settings>about my nook>Version Number:9.9.9

FAQ
Will this stop me from buying anything from B&N?
NO! You will keep everything and the ability to buy. This does nothing to the services aside from makes a few minor SQL tweaks that affect the devices ability to OTA.
Can this break my device?
No! This process actually holds no risk. It should always work no matter what and since we caught it early on, we can prevent further updates that can fix this.
Are you awesome Indirect?
Yes, yes I am. Now enjoy all the crap I released for you guys

Thank you for your work Now, does this block any and all interaction with B&N servers (in case I(or anyone else) want to actually purchase a book or app from B&N) or just prevents receiving/installing the update? Also, will it prevent future updates or is it just coded for 1.4.1?
Completed. Thank you again . My best friend is a Nook "lead" at B&N and she is getting a kick out of our shenanigans. She actually gave it to me as an X-mas present. So thank you again for your work on the Tablet. I (we) look forward to more of your adventures in Nookdom. hehehe
It just stops the ota's.....

So does the sqllite method not work? I used that method 2 days ago, and so far haven't received an update (knock on wood).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946969
This is the sqlite method just provides you with files to download and install...this really isn't that complicated. -.- versus having to actually modify the SQL on the device, its already done for you. Just trust it works, install, and ignore everyone *****ing about updates. Now I'm going back to bed before someone crosses me by asking a stupid question.

Indirect, if nobody has told you lately, thanks for all of your hard work toward making the NT an unrestricted tablet.
Restored your files and mine says version not availablr, not 9.9.9
Is something wrong?

Thanks a lot, really appreciate this. My girlfriend is getting a NT for Christmas and I want her to handle the tinkering and guides like these will be of great help to her.
Just a couple questions. Does this work because the OTA updates check to see if you are on a lower version than what is put out (thus the 9.9.9)?
Also, just to clarify, when you said you want to put this into your script, you mean the rooting method you have posted?
Thanks again for all your work. I know B&N hasn't made this stuff easy but I personally think part of the fun is having to outsmart them

1) As I havent received notification of update yet, I don't know if they check version but it should if their recovery isnt crap however this has the FOTA check disabled so it should not even attempt to update it.
2)I meant my rooting script, yes.
Two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the hack. Once my NT was rooted, I put it to work. Now it is an excellent tool to use at work and the larger display makes life easier.
I just wanna clarify here: if we've already used the SQLite method and changed the fota value from auto to manual, there's no reason for us to use this new method, right? This is just an easier version of manually editing the file?
If so and if this actually works, isn't this confirmation that changing the fota value from auto to manual actually works? So far everyone's just keeping their fingers crossed, but if indirect is saying that that method actually does the trick- I'm inclined to believe it.
Indirect,
Although multiple people have already said it, thanks for all your work on the Nook! I now no longer have to worry about leaving WiFi on and having all of the work I've done since I got this thing undone!
Of course, B&N will come up with a way around this for their next update, but at least we're safe for now.

It's not just the FOTA edit, it changes a few things that OTA's typically check before no matter what. I just suggest you do this incase.
Okay in that case, glad I asked. I won't be able to try this for a few days but believe me the second I'm able- I will be doing this (and keeping my fingers crossed). Thanks again indirect and everyone else who's contributed info on this subject.

So, the FOTAkill.apk alone is not enough, or you want to be doubly sure by tweaking DeviceManagerService as well?

There was incidence of a person doing only the FOTAkill.apk yesterday that ended up receiving the update and lost root. He went through a long process of hard factory reset, rerooting, etc.
Not sure what happend. Titanium backup says devicemanagerservice 2.3.4 has been updated, a bunch of aps in the restore section of titanium backup have 2.3.4 next to them, but my software version still says 1.4.0?
