Hi!
Apologies for this probaby quite basic question: Is it possible to install the Kindle-app for android on a rooted original Nook? (Firmware 1.7) I have tried finding an answer all over the internet, but no luck thus far (only advice for Nook Color and Nook touch). Is this possible at all? If so - where could I find instructions for the procedure?
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Morning, I have yet to find such, even if you could load it controlling it could be a issue. I currently us Nomad1's 1.5.0n with the multitouch driver. I remapped buttons to get a "DPAD" and what not, the other half is unless it's rebuilt it's not likely to display right. I have seen rebuilt apps, so it's possible, just more then I can do. If I happen to find it I'll let you know, The Russians and Chinese seem to be active in creating apps for the nook classic (Google translate isn't the greatest but works)www.the-ebook.org www.hi-pda.com, bbs.it-adv.net/, I keep looking for new forums.
Thank you! I had been hoping that the android-app could be controlled via the touchscreen at the bottom. I foolishly only bought a used nook classic thinking that there was a way to read all of my kindle books on it. Oh, well. I'll keep watching the forums you mentioned, too - maybe there is hope (first I need to get my nook rooted, though (which for some reason isn't working so far). Thanks for your help!
Hello i rooted my simple nook touch via the following method: http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/nook-touch-root.html Now i would like to load the softroot ROM on it. i was following the tutorial on this webpage but i ended at step 7. Press and hold the "<" button on the right side of the nook, and then press and release the power button, while continuing to hold the "<" button. This does not work for me and the nook is booting normally, without doing the update. Can you please help me on how to update the file on my simple nook touch? Thanks. mentus
So, I thought I would try to develop on Andriod, and have been thinking about getting a Nook Color. What are the bare-bones requirements of 'putting' an App I create (hand have running, say in one of the Eclipse Emulators)? What limitations might I run into?
TIA

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my Nook. I updated it to 1.1.0, and later I knew you could root it (yeah, I know, dumm). So I rebooted it powering on and off 8 times as explained, it worked, I saw the installing screen and so on, so I could return to the 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 version to root it afterwards.
But when it started again, the home screen wouldn't stop "blinking" and a message "initial loading from media provider failed" followed by lots of other codes that I couldn't understand (this message also blinking).
You can actually access the device settings, but the software information says "unknown"...
I tried rebooting it again as well as installing the 1.0.0 version file.
None of it worked...
Can someone please help me???
Thank you...

I just installed Nooklets and ran the "Pluto" demo. It runs fine until the video portion at the end, when a blank video screen appears in the left half of the touchscreen with a control bar that is subsequently obscured by a white box and close button impinging from the right side of the touchscreen. Meanwhile, the audio is running fine, and a bit of the video appears to try to display on the eink screen in the upper left corner. Why doesn't the video run in the touchscreen as shown on the demo video?
Thanks
Bold text!!!!!! THANK YOU, Kyeld! Updating Mynook.ru by that method rather than through the Trook Nookdev link worked. Sincerely, Tarthol

Problem updating ru.launcher:
I softrooted in August, everything worked fine. I yesterday tried updating ru.launcher through Trook to implement the customizable icons. However, once new ru.launcher installed, all screens are blank and unresponsive. I resorted to resoftboot to get back prior functionality. Tried to update ru.launcher again with the same result.
How can I get the most recent version of ru.launcher installed and working so that the icons for apps like media, calculator, notes etc are full sized? Or can I fix the icons without updating the launcher? I assume with ADB I can push the new icons to the correct spot, if I knew where that was.
Thanks, Tarthol
You should be able to install over the Mynook.ru launcher without any problems, if it becomes unresponsive or crashes after you install it double tapping the n key will reboot it. Look at https://nookdevs.com/Mynook.ru_Launcher for info on how to install custom icons. --Kyeld 08:25, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
Yes, I SHOULD be able to, but when I do install over Mynook.ru, it becomes unresponsive, does not respond to ANY input, double taps included, just a white screen on both screens. I am not the only one to have this problem as evidenced by the report of Kebo on the Forums page (https://nookdevs.com/Forum).
Thanks, Tarthol
Try downloading the apk and placing it in the packages folder in your nook drive, then try installing it by browsing to the folder via trook. I already had Mynook.ru launcher installed and this is how I updated mine. --Kyeld 13:10, 3 September 2010 (PDT)
Hi I trying rooting the nook with nookDevs Softroot. I got stuck in the step 3: Step 3: Getting a root shell with the Android Debug Bridge I DON'T UNDERSTAND this: With the NOOK_IP being the IP address of your nook, enter the following:
adb connect NOOK_IP:5555
I downloaded and installed Android SDK. I found the IP address of my nook. In a terminal (command line) linux, I navigated to the "tools" directory in the Android SDK. I made: ls cd ./android-sdk-linux_86 ls cd ./tools ls
NOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO?? Can someone help me please?
After the adb connect, you can use "adb shell" to get a shell on the nook. You can then navigate around there. "adb push" transfers files from your local system to the nook, "adb pull" transfers from the nook.
You should lock the wifi on the nook, otherwise the nook may drop it while you are in the shell.
Just issue this command (when you're still in tools)
./adb connect your-nook-ip:5555
Remember the dotslash before adb
Hi, I'm attempting to perform the softroot, yet my nook is stuck at installing the 1.0.0 software. I continues to say "installing software update" on the e-ink while the touchscreen periodically turns on and off says "restoring to factory fallback" yet no progress is made. The nook is completely unresponsive and holding the power button does nothing. Also removing the battery, plugging it in to the wall and plugging it into a computer does nothing as well.
Can anyone help please????
It would be much appreciated.
Hello, first off, thanx people who made rooting the nook/nookcolor possible. You are awesome! I'm having some issues with my nook color. Rooted with auto-nooter_2.12.18, I am to d\l and install apps from the android market, but I am unable to use some of the listed bonuses of using the auto-nooter process (i.e. busybox, live wallpapers, multitouch, or genie widgets). Please help. I've tried to use eclipse/android sdk and can't figure it out, I'm not a tech major, lol.
