So I've been playing around with the Honeycomb previews, and was wondering if anyone's been able to get the stock nook reading/lending/etc.. apps working in Honeycomb.
I was able to transfer the games over via adb, although the layout is off on chess and the sensor at the edge doesn't pick up all presses on crossword.
Specifically, I really like the default reading app and side-loading epubs and would like to get that working.
Has anyone done this already or know which dependent apk's different components of the stock nook software use?
TIA
I also would like to get the B&N apps to run properly in Honeycomb. I am currently running rooted 1.1, because I want the B&N apps. My son use Nookbooks for kids and I prefer the default Nook app when I read. I don't purchase many books, but the ones I do buy are from B&N because I want to support them. If we don't support B&N they will stop making great devices like the original Nook and the Nook Color.
I do realize I can run the Android app and buy books via the web, but Nookbooks for kids is not available in the Android market.
Yeah, I'm playing around with it and seeing if I can get anything working with it.
I really like the stock Android apps, but like how much better honeycomb is designed for tablets (vs. froyo/eclair or the stock bn that can only have books in the home screen).
Will post back if I have any success... and I think it's a dumb rule that you need 10 posts to put anything in the dev forum. Supposedly this area is for noobs asking about how to install nookie etc.. and the other is for "dev" but half the posts over in dev are people talking about installation trouble and half the posts here are people posting things that would be better suited to the dev section. /rant
So I adb pushed everything bn over to honeycomb, but nothing shows up. Try to install Reader.apk and get error that it's missing required bncloudapi.
I have the jar file in frameworks, and the permissions files, but not sure if there's something else I should be looking for. TIA
So working with the CM7 nightly builds and the nook app for android, I'm struck by how much I'm finding I like the nook app better than the nookcolor home and reader. I can read my bought books, sideload books and everything else. On top of that I get pageturn animations that don't exist on the stock reader. The font selection is a bit more limited and some of the interface doesn't seem as refined, but it really doesn't seem that much of a tradeoff.
Anybody else running CM7? What are your impressions of the nook app?
I use the nook app on my phone, so that is what I was already used to. It did run sluggish on the NC the first time I used it, but I realoaded it and it is fine now.. mainly slow page turns.
does the Nook App have the same features as the Home one - Notes, Look Up, Highlight? what are the real limitations comparing to stock? that's the only thing that stops me from upgrade now, the whole reader integration on stock.
Does the nook app require you to import your sideloaded books like aldiko or is it like the nook home, and uses a file manager to locate books?
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
I only did a quick try using the Nook App, but the one major downside I noticed is no support for magazine subscriptions. However, not much of a problem for those of you who don't have them. Also the look up, notes, highlighting etc built into the NC stock aren't available in the app. Everyone is entitiled to their opinion, but the only thing I consider better on the Nook App are the page turn animations and that really doesn't improve the use as much as the additional support and features available on the stock app. That's why I'm waiting for CM7 sd image, guess I'll have to stick with my stock emmc for reading and nookie froyo sd for tablet features until them.
I wish you could tap to turn the page in the app (or am I doing something wrong?).
With the Android Nook App (not the Nook Color Stock Reader/Library) - is there a way to move sideloaded books to the "Library" ?
Or do they just remain as "My Files".

I am able to tap to turn the page.
I like the look and feel of the stock Nook Home but I definitely prefer the performance increases in CM7 vs stock Eclair.
I much prefer the Market Nook app. In fact when I first used the nook my wife commented on how "slow" the stock reader went through pages.
I don't really use the nook app either way myself (prefer Amazon), but I must admit that without the Market Nook app I couldn't tell people I have a tablet because the first thing they ask for (to demonstrate) is page turn animations. iPad set the bar there, and B&N out of the box didn't deliver....
I am having a problem importing epub files into the Nook app I am running phiremod nook V4.1 rom. I copied a epub file into the my files folder but it doesn't show up in the apps my files.
I don't really get the page turn animations? What's the point? Doesn't it slow down page turns?
I used the stock rooted setup for a few days, and then installed rom along with Nook App.
I didnt like the Nook App because of the lack of magazine/newspaper support.
The stock Nook setup is better IMO, it just feels better overall in terms of really getting the most out of your nookcolor. Magazines, newspapers, etc..
Oh and turn page animation? really? LOL c'mon ppl. I'm going to pay an extra $300 for page turn feature??
Is there anyway to use the stock nook setup with a custom rom?
"Also the look up, notes, highlighting etc built into the NC stock aren't available in the app."
I just tried these things and they work fine in the app. It would be nice to have the dictionary built in but hey, I have the dicitonary.com app if I really need to know. (On CM7)

How are you getting the app to work on the nightly builds? I am able to get in the app click stuff but if i download a book it just says file not supported. Also I had a couple of books on my sd card and moved them to the books folder for the app and it doesnt work either. Would you mins telling me how you got it to work? Thanks
I admit that of the Nook App for Android versus the Nook App for Stock that I much preferred the stock one.
But I really love the Nook as a tablet rather than a simple eReader, so I cancelled my magazine subscriptions this last week rather than having to go back to stock to read them.
b&n, if you actually read these forums, PLEASE give us magazine and newspaper subscriptions with the Nook for Android app, I promise that I will subscribe if you do!!
The Nook app won't download the "Read to me" children's books I bought. Otherwise I'd stop using the ROM on SD.
I too like using the Nook App on CM7 but has anyone figured out how to get the covers to show up for sideloaded content? Most of my stuff is copied over from my Calibre library, all covers show up fine in Aldiko but in the Nook app, no covers. Not a big deal really but just thought I would throw it out there in case someone has a fix.

It gives you that nostalgic feeling of yonder days I know we are trying to save trees here but some of us still want that feeling of flipping through pages.
RE
I figured it out..
I am using Ovation 10.1.3 emmc on my HD+ with minimal issues and great enjoyment.
Using both the Nook and Kindle Apps for my readers.
My question is that since my Library of unread books has gotten quite extensive, is there any type of add-on app for either or both readers that will allow you to easily set up topic specific shelves that you can then fill with the personally sorted specific titles?
I simply want to be able to easily create/setup a set of identifiable shelves based on however I choose to separate my titles.
If such an "add on" doesn't exist, is there general consensus on a general reader that can do both epub and mobi that includes this type of sort feature along with actual page turning animation similar to what the Nook has?
Thanks in advance.
Because of DRM copyright stuff, im pretty sure its alittle tough to deal with Kindle books (there are ways to deal with it, but you have to jump though a few hoops and use different PC programs to do it (as far as i know)).
Dont have alot of experience with eBook readers, tested out a bunch ((PocketBook, Aldiko, FBReade, Moonreader, Mantano, Ebook Droid) like PocketBook the best for my needs), most will let you browse your drive, so if you set up a 'Book' folder and then categorize a bunch of folders inside of that folder and just browse your stuff that way. Most of the readers i played with have a "recent" tab so its easy to jump back into a book you just started and not have to drive down through folders and find it. Some readers let you 'tag' a book and you can then in-turn use the 'tags' to categorize.
Just some thoughts.

My everyday NSTG has been updated to FW 1.2.2, running a kernel for 1.2.1 that enables multi-touch, no-refresh mode, and USB host/audio. I never found a kernel that would support BOTH no-refresh and fast mode AND USB, but for reading text no-refresh runs rings around fast mode, IMHO. So I took that kernel and substituted it for the one in the @pinguy1982 USB Host/Audio package so I would have the tweaked audio driver set he put together AND NoRefresh mode. Worked like a charm
I decided to ignore the QuickNav buttons entirely. I assigned the "n" button to "Home" (ADW Launcher) . I assigned the upper left button to "Back" and the upper right button to "Menu". Lower right is set to my "Set Cover" app.
I tried to create a really different look and feel (see images below) using a combination of Desktop VisualizeR and SiMi Folder, two amazing apps. A SiMi folder is essentially a miniature launcher which can be placed on the desktop and assigned an icon using Desktop VisualizeR. More information on the design of the home screen is here.
I also used Minimalistic Text to create the date/greeting and weather widgets (NST Weather Widget app). Any apps that didn't fit into my SiMi folder categories were typically seldom used tools of some sort (wallpaper picker, etc.), so they ended up only in the app drawer. ADW Launcher allows me to hide in the drawer "junk" apps or apps that are one-touch which have been assigned using NTMM.
I have two other NSTs I use for experiments. One runs the unofficial 1.2.2 UK ROM as described here and the other is set up just like the NSTG described above.
These three devices are registered and use the B&N Reader and Library apps.
I also have an NSTG which I have set up without B&N apps as described here. I have installed Mantano Reader and ColorDict (with the Merriam Webster Collegiate dictionary, just like B&N) to replace the missing B&N stuff. Otherwise, it is set up the same as the two NSTs. It is, however, running FW 1.2.1 which is helpful to me when developing Tasker-based apps since plugins do not work with FW 1.2.2 (that is, the Tasker routines do not call the plugins but apps made from the routines have no issues with the plugins).
All the devices also have dual-boot capability for CM 11.
My apps: those marked with * may be hard to find/are older versions and are included in a bundled zip here (note: Mediafire seems to have a problem with a zip full of apk files so each file has an added ".OLD" extension. Remove this before side-loading). Non-B&N apps with no links either came bundled with NookManager or are from the PlayStore (or places like it).

For homescreen setup screenshots, you can look at the NTG Homescreens 2 and NTG Homesceens 3 albums in my profile. I won't upload screenshots of my homescreen because I am a homescreen themer and change my setup about every other day. I can, however, add screenshots of other parts of my device, if you like.
The reason my uRamdisk is unreleased is that it is not stable enough or safe enough for widespread use. The main change that causes this is my seting it up to mount the /boot partition as read-write upon the device booting up. This is extremely dangerous for any average, non-developer user to have, because if even one file in that partition gets modified incorrectly or deleted, their Nook will become permanently unusable for anything except a paperweight.
Hopefully this explains things for you.
How do you guys have so much space to add apps to your NST? I've got the original NST and I keep getting warnings that the Nook is running out of space... Unless the NSTGL has a larger system ROM space than the NST? NOOK!E, I am currently using the 1337 ROM, and everything else seems to be working pretty great.

Um...I dunno? I have the original NST, too, with an 8 GB SD card (6 GB is still free). 90% of the internal storage is still free. I only have a few B&N books on internal storage, the bulk (many) are on the SD card along with music and audiobooks.
I have don't have any apps moved to the SD card.
So how come you're running out of memory? I get occasional nags from CleanMaster that RAM is scarce when I'm doing a lot of work, switching apps, etc., but I've never received any warnings about running out of storage space.

Maybe, but I think the bigger question is "why is this happening in the first place?" Did you ever do any repartitioning? I'm running stock 1.21 and have never fiddled with anything like that. I've never moved apps to my SD card and have never actually even removed any stock apps, just disabled them by changing the extension to .OLD. I just let apps install wherever they have a mind to. The only thing I have avoided, as a matter of course, is storing media on the internal memory (except for the few B&N books). All my own stuff goes on the SD card.
So what's taking up so much space on your NST? Something's not right.

Hi, sorry for the delay in response... Work kind of got in the way...
I have never done any re-partitioning, and I've got a 16gb sdcard. This is the first time I'm trying to move apps around, and I don't have many B&N books on the internal memory. I've only had the basic apps that install when first installing the ROM (UCbrowser, abridged list of Google Apps, SuperSU, ES File Explorer, etc.)... I started getting the alerts mentioned before just randomly that the Nook storage space was getting close to full. I only started getting the new errors when trying to install apps from the GoogleMarket or side-loaded sources. I only started trying to get rid of stuff/clear space once I started getting these messages/errors.
I've followed all the steps in the first post here Nookie's 1337 ROM to update from an earlier version of that ROM.
Thanks for following up.
DKaine
Yep, and either yattaro or NOOKIE would be your best bet for help with that ROM and the issues you are seeing. I didn't notice any similar responses within that original thread. You might try a PM to NOOKIE. I know he's busy with school right now, but he'll get back to you.
Do you think that antivirus apps are 100% useless on NST (and android devices in general)?
edit: News Republic fails to connect, says: "not trusted certificate server", any clue? (or other similar application working?)

I think that the system is too limited to get into many dodgy situations in which you might need antivirus protection
Seriously, even if you could find an app that would work on 2.1, the chances of the database being current is very small. It would also probably slow the system down even more.
I am bummed about News Republic It was working fine the last time I checked it. The security certificate issue is new and I guess it's one that is not covered by the updated cacerts file used to resurrect the Kindle app and others. I'll try to take a look at the logcat and see if it identifies the certificate name.
In the meanwhile, the NewsHog app still works (just checked to be sure) except for the weather (which may be part of the paid version). It's a little cranky syncing so you may have to touch the sync symbol as you move from news category to category. Also, scrolling is an issue (as it is with nearly all of these apps except for News Republic!!!!!). A very quick flick with your thumb across the bottom right corner of the screen usually works best, but it is a skill. Also helps to keep the screen gutters clean.
Edit: I managed to scrape up older versions of News Republic that spanned 3.0 to 4.2. None of the 4.x would install so they are for higher Android versions. The final 3.x series (3.30) installed and opened OK but exhibited the same issue. A glance at the logcat revealed multiple server contact problems during the initial opening of the app. So it's not just one certificate, regardless of what the screen notification says. Looks like a recent change left the older versions in the dust. RIP.
Also, although it's not quite as streamlined as an app, you can bookmark news.Google.com in your browser--I use Opera Mobile--and if you take the time to customize your view when using a PC (and signed in) you can achieve a similar effect if signed in on your NST browser. No scrolling issues either.
Thanks for the info, unfortunately News Republic as you said continues to have issues. NewsHog isn't bad unless you live in Greece - there is no locale for my country Finally, bookmarking news.google.com/gr (or whatever) is a good idea, but manage the whole thing from desktop doesn't work as opera NST version is too old to sync with current desktop browser. I also use WordNews, seems reliable and has a lot of sources working.

It's not necessary to sync browsers. All you have to do is sign in with the same Google account you use on the NST and set up your news preferences. If you sign in with Opera on the NST then the same news preferences will be displayed. I finally put an Opera shortcut to Google News on my NST home screen and used the Google news app icon: -)
Thanks for the WorldNews tip. I'll check it out.

GenieWidget has been dead for quite awhile. Even if you could set a location, the weather part was the first to die and then eventually you could not bring up the news either.
If you're interested in weather, WeatherAce is pretty nice, especially if you have a Wunderground API key (free). The only news apps I have that still work are BBC, NPR and NewsHog. All suffer to varying degrees with cranky vertical scrolling, but you can manage with some practice and very clean screen edges. Another alternative is to customize Google News (news.google.com) on your PC logged in to the same account that your NSTG is registered under. If you then sign in on the browser you use for your NSTG, you will get those same customizations. I did that and set a shortcut on my home screen, "borrowing" the current GoogleNews app icon. At least with that one (in Opera Mobile) there are no scrolling issues.
Working versions of the apps I mentioned above can be found in the zip package linked from my signature.
