Barnes and Noble has likely introduced a new hardware revision which bricks your unit if you install their official 1.0.0 Firmware (A step needed to root). As of right now, Nooks with serial #s starting with 1003 (running firmware 1.4.1) cannot be rooted, and should NOT be attempted. See New_Hardware_Revision for more details

Current status

The most recent version is 0.0.6. It has 4 custom search buttons, a button to display the favorite tweets for the authenticated user, and search users button. The tweet button is now large and on the left. It will display the user avatar when the user authenticates.

To bring up the keyboard for searches use a long press on the respective search buttons.

Functionality

The button functionality is in this order from left to right:

The large button on the left displays the image of the user on logging in. It's also the button for posting tweets.

Row 1 - personal

• show replies timeline
• show tweets by the user

• show retweets of the user
• show direct messages received
• show followers with their latest status
• show followed users with their latest status

Row 2 - search

• show public timeline
• buttons 2-5 - search a term
• show favorites
• find users

Row 3 - tweet actions

• buttons without images are not implemented, they will have functionality like retweet, favor, etc
• last button - log in using username and password

TODO list and ideas

Add support for selecting individual tweets

• follow/unfollow button depending on the following status of the user selected
• retweet button
• direct message button
• selected user information (tweets sent, account info)
• favorite

Optimizations:

• retrieve only messages that have not been retrieved before (possible ?)
• additive timeline instead of replacing, up to the last xxx tweets to be decided in settings
