Remember that all of the following actions with files, disks and devices you perform at your own peril and risk!
1. To record images onmemory carduse onlyexternal (USB) card reader!
2. During operations with images and a memory card on the computer, do not connect to it.NOOK Simple Touch(NST) orNOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight(NSTwGL) - be careful and careful, strictly follow the instructions!
3. Charge the NST / NSTwGL up to 100%, just in case, and register it to avoid quickly discharging the battery.
* Format the memory card to restore the volume can be directly in NOOK Simple Touch: Settings>Device info>Sd card>Format SD Card or using a small utility:HPUSBDisk.exeon a computer under Windows.

Create a backup copy of NOOK Simple Touch and NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight

Install using the CWM method:
1. Install the archiveglownooter-1-5-26_mod(I cleaned up the garbage there, instead of ADW -App launcher,
How does he work
When you call App Launcher, a white square appears.>go to the Menu (round icon with bars in the upper bar)>Config will appear below.>in Unselected Apps we select the necessary applications - they will appear in My Shortcuts>save Now when you call App Launcher in the window will be selected shortcuts.
(who does not like can independently replace with some Zeam));
Installation:
1) take out the card, overload;
2) after loading we tap on the Android, then we push Skip everywhere, exit directly to Nook;
3) in the App Launcher we post the labels YouTube, Gmail, Market;
4) turn on wi-fi, go to YouTube>Menu>My Channel, enter your Google account and password;
5) go to Gmail, enter your Google account and password, after some deliberation it will swear, this is normal, we exit;

As a result, we have Russified Nuk backlit with a working market.

Getting ROOT and installing applications on NOOK Simple Touch 1.1.2
1. Check the firmware version of your NOOK Touch: Settings>Device info>About Your NOOK>Software version
2. Take the appropriate archive with the imageNOOKTOUCHER(for firmware 1.0.0 and 1.0.1),NOOKTOUCH12(for firmware 1.1.0 and 1.1.2). After using the rootkit, the firmware version will be displayed as 1.1.0 - this is normal!
3. Extract the contents to the root directory of the computer disk.
4. PastemicroSD memory card(128 MB or more) duringexternal (USB) card readerand connect it to the computer. Do not connect NOOK Touch to your computer at this time!

The real alternative to the Market:App & Gamesavagemessiahzine.com

Localization

You can replace the standard keyboard with the Russian (Any Soft Keyboard) in the Nook Color Tools (choose keyboard) application. To install third-party applications from the ARC files, uncheck and immediately re-check the box in Nook Color Tools. To change the localization of the interface of third-party applications to Russian will help More Locale (RU).

Another way from Atomic_Mutant

If for some reason you are not satisfied with the existing mini-images, or after installing them your reader is unstable, you can use the ClockworkMod method, which is well suited for the Nook Simple Touch. Tested on firmware 1.1.2 registered. Used CWM rc2.

1. Downloadfile archive ClockworkMod.rarand unpack it having received several archives.
2. Connect an external (USB) card reader with a memory card to the computer.
3. Unpack 128mb_clockwork-rc2.rar from the archive and restore the image “128mb_clockwork-rc2.img” to the memory card: -With the help of the utility winimage.exe (WinImage.rar) through the menu: “Disk / Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image ... "When selecting an image file, use" File Type: All files (*. *) ". -Or use a simpler Win32DiskImager (Win32DiskImager.rar).
4. Remove and insert the card reader into the computer again so that the memory card is determined by the computer. Write these files to a prepared memory card with any file manager: -NSTwGLR1.zip (Appendices) -NSTwGLR2.zip -NST112RUS.zip (Interface Russification)
5. You do not need to unpack these archives. If necessary, delete unnecessary ARK files from the archive (“data / app” directory) and add the necessary files with the help of your favorite archiver.
6. Turn off the reader, insert the prepared memory card (CWM) into it and turn it on with the power button.
7. After the “ClockworkMod” logo appears on the screen, the service menu will appear - use the navigation buttons (the left paging buttons are BACK, the right upper paging button is UP, the bottom right paging button is DOWN, the central n button is SELECT).
8. Select the menu item: “install zip from sdcard” / “choose zip from sdcard”
9. Install all three files in turn: -NSTwGLR1.zip (Appendices) -NSTwGLR2.zip -NST112RUS.zip (Interface Russification)
10. Remove the memory card from the reader, go back to the main menu (back) and select "reboot system now". Reboot ...
11. Do not forget to choose Zeam Launcher Rus for work (You can not remember the choice and even change the desktop to whatever you like) Adjust everything to your liking, if some applications do not start, simply reinstall them from the ARC files, if the file is not it is installed immediately: “If apk-files do not want to be installed, referring to the ban, launch the Nook Color Tools application and uncheck / check the box for third-party applications.”

Thanks to different authors. All files in the archive are taken from the forum, and simply collected in one package.

Recovery of factory firmware

4. Extract the contents to the root directory of the computer disk.
5. PastemicroSD memory cardinexternal (USB) card readerand connect it to the computer. Do not connect NOOK Touch to your computer at this time!
6. Restore the image (nookRestore.img) to the memory card using Win32DiskImager.exe
7. Turn off the reader (while holding the power button for ~ 15-20 seconds), insert the prepared memory card into it and turn on, while holding the power button for ~ 5-10 seconds.
8. After the nookRestore screen saver appears on the screen, wait another 10-20 seconds and turn off the reader while holding the power button for about 15-20 seconds.
9. Remove the card from the NOOK Touch and turn it on again.
10. If everything went well, a screen to restore the factory settings will appear, upon completion of which the factory firmware will be restored (for example, 1.0.0).

What makes this crack?

- Russifies the native interface (all applications, except Social.apk, NookCommunity.apk);
- Russifies standard images;
- installs the application keyboard "AnySoftKeyboard" with the Russian layout and "NookColorTools" to switch the keyboard (called by button "Settings" from the main menu);
- adds Russian hyphenation to the standard reader (file "hyph_ru.dic");
- updates the time zone database (only in 1.1.2);
- replaces the file “internal.db” with the modernized one.


ROOT using Nook Manager (GUI)
One of the ways I discovered recently is to use the so-called Nook Manager created by the “invisible front fighters” of the Hda-Developers.com community. Installing it is simple, using is nice, results are stable.
The method compares favorably with the fact that no matter what version of firmware you have, everything works fine up to version 1.2.1. You no longer need to wait for favors from nature and from the developers of assembly images sometimes do not keep up with the release of versions.

1. Download the archive and get from it the image file NookManager.img.
- http://download.doozan.com/nook/NookManager-0.5.0.zip
- Or visit the topic dedicated to him to find the current version:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351
2. Using the usual mouse movement, we write the image onto a memory card using the Win32DiskImager program.
Or any other that you like best, knows how to work with such files, and write them exactly to a memory card.
3. We put a memory card, reboot in any way known to you and see several labels, including two menu selection lines on the right - the upper line suggests you to work with your Nook with the help of something called ADB on wifi, the lower point suggests you to do without this tricky nonsense, and just do business.
Since I did not understand what ADB is, I chose the bottom item. Have you already noticed that the control is carried out by side keys? Approximately also you work with an ATM пЃЉ
4. Choose Root if you don't need anything else. We wait. We take out the card. Reboot.
5. Everything. You have a rooted Nook, with the ReLaunch shell installed and some set of programs. Getting started.
6. A nice bonus for you will be a couple of trifles - for example, you no longer need to strike a finger to unlock the screen - just click "That same Key" and on that black bar at the bottom of the screen you can now write anything that suits your taste.

Also with the help of this method you can get some working services of Google, and the Market, including much easier than before.

For advanced users
Replacing the standard library
Patched Nook Touch Library (Russified), which in the mode "My Files" can now open many file formats, including fb2, fb2.zip, apk, .jpg, .png, etc.
Unfortunately, the program has its own table of MIME types, where there are far from all formats, because the same djvu will have to be entered inwards, rather than hoping that "it will work itself." To open fb2 books, the reader must have a "application / fb2" handler, for fb2.zip - "application / fb2.zip".

Installation via ADB
adb shell mount -o remount, rw / dev / block / mmcblk0p5 / system
adb shell rm /system/app/Library.apk
adb push Library.apk / system / app /

Attention ! The patch turned out to be quite complicated and not very clean, therefore various problems with paid content are possible.

Shutdown menu with reboot to recovery option: Barnes & Noble NOOK (The Simple Touch Reader) - firmware (Post msinty # 66121579)
We force all software to store settings \ logs in internal memory
1.When using Noogie or through adb, we get access to the boot section
2. Compile uRamdisk on your computer
3.We downloadbootutil.exeand move it to the same folder where uRamdisk was saved
4. Run the bootutil with the following parameters: bootutil / x uRamdisk init.rc | in case of using rootkit for NST / NSTwGL from ZeroChaos), instead of "bootutil / x uRamdisk init.rc" you need "bootutil / x uRamdisk./ init.rc "
5.Open the init.rc that appeared next in any text editor.
6. Change in it
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE / sdcard
on
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE / media

7.Save the changes
8. Run the bootutil with the following parameters: bootutil / r uRamdisk init.rc
9. Replace uRamdisk from / boot with our version

PS. I checked the ZXReader without a flash drive, it works and immediately offers to select a folder with books in the internal memory,
In the presence of a flash drive, Orion Viewer, EbookDroid, ZXReader start moving all the same with "/ media", but at the same time they will be able to climb on the USB flash drive, because their built-in file manager allows you to manually go to the root of the system and then to the card))

Pps. After some tests, I discovered software that did not want to run vseravno without a flash drive (for example, ColorDict and GoldenDict). As a result of a small study, the culprit was found - the getExternalStorageState function does not return the "desired" value in the absence of a flash drive. As a solution, I propose an additional step - modification in the framework.jar code:
Modification framework.jar
1. Copy /system/framework/framework.jar to your computer.
2. Download smali and baksmali latest versionfrom hereand put next to the framework.jar
3. From framework.jar, extract the classes.dex file
4. We execute java -jar baksmali-1.3.3.jar classes.dex
5. Open the file "your folder" \ out \ android \ os \ Environment.smali with any editor
6. Change in it
const-string v0, "EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
const-string v1, "/ sdcard"
on
const-string v0, "EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
const-string v1, "/ media"

and
const-string v0, "EXTERNAL_STORAGE_STATE"
const-string v1, "removed"
on
const-string v0, "INTERNAL_STORAGE_STATE"
const-string v1, "removed"

7. Save the changes.
8. Execute: java -jar smali-1.3.3.jar out
9. Rename the received out.dex to classes.dex and replace it inside the framework.jar
10. Fill the modified framework.jar in the Nook

As a result
Cool Reader even in the presence of a flash drive, saves the settings to /media/.cr3, in the book selection menu displays two items:
1. "SD card" - leads to / media
2./sdcard - leads to the card
All the software throws its logs and settings into "/ media" and further into its folders. Translators (for example, ColorDict) with or without a flash drive, dictionaries are searched in / media
Ie all the software works fine with the card, and without, but the settings will all be in internal memory.
(with)Xquader :)

Installing software compiled under arm7 + neon
To install, you need to register in build.prop the following:
ro.product.cpu.abi = armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2 = armeabi

After this operation, "OrionVievew 0.35.0 armeabi v7 build" and "EBookDroid 1.5.1 for Cortex A8 + NEON" are put and work without problems.

INFA to increase the size of the section accessible to the user (up to ~ 1GB)
1. Create a backup copy of the NOOK Simple Touch firmware
2. Load Linux (you can LiveCD, I have the Mint 11 as the second system for experiments).
3. If not in the system, put GParted: sudo apt-get install gparted.
4. Connect the Nook with the loaded noogie (Rooted Forever inscription). The system should appear a bunch of disks (6 or 8).
5. Unmount the null disk umount / dev / sdX (X is the letter under which it was mounted). It didn’t work for me (well, I’m never a linuxedian). Maybe not necessarily.
6. Run gparted, select (on the right above) a null disk, it will display a list of Radels (it seems there are 6 of them). Do not confuse with PC-shnymi disks, so as not to crash your system.
6.1 Change the size of the last section (data ext2) - this is the section for purchased books. I made it 240MB, you can probably reduce it. See how much is taken to save information. Then move it to the very end.
6.2 The penultimate section is simply moved back to back. I did not change his size.
6.3 Well, and that that interests us: fat (fat) section NOOK - increase its size to the stop.
Giving the gparted command to do all this (it may take a few minutes), wait for completion.
I had an error when copying data from the NOOK partition - then I had to format it again under Windows.
After that, Nook saw 800 MB.

Installing / removing a pin code to unlock the screen
To enter the PIN code, you need to run the following command in the Nuk Terminal Emulator, or via adb shell
am start -n com.android.settings / .ChooseLockPin

To remove the lock, everything is also via the adb shell or Terminal
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
DELETE from system WHERE name LIKE "lock%";
.exit
reboot

Or download the SQLite database editor (example), copy settings.db to your computer
and delete the 4th fields of the system table with the following names: lock_pin_hash, lockscreen.pinneverchoosen, lock_pin_autolock, lock_visivle_pin

NST Multi Touch
1. Download the archive file and unpack its contents to the root directory of the computer disk.
2. Connect an external (USB) card reader with a memory card to the computer.
3. Restore the noogie.img image to the memory card using winimage.exe via the menu: “Disk / Restore Virtual Hard Disk image on physical drive ...” When selecting an image file, use “File type: All files (*. *)”,
4. Turn off the NST, insert the prepared memory card (NOOGIE) into it and connect it to the computer with a USB cable.

In my computer, the nuk system disk should be poyavitstso (in my opinion is called boot = 1.85 or 1.82 gb, somewhere like this :-))
Go to the root of this disk and replace the uimage file there.
The one that laid out arkusuma (8th comment to the topic)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563645
then disconnect the Nuk from the computer, remove the card, hold the power button somewhere for 15 seconds to turn off the Nook, then clamp it for 5 seconds to turn it on. Turn on, go to root explorer (file manager with root rights) (you can download it on 4pda if that :-)) then Correct the file "/etc/permission/required_hardware.xml" (go through this path, find the file required_hardware.xml, Long tap on it, then open in a text editor, or something like that)
add there
<feature name = "android.hardware.touchscreen" />after this line
<feature name = "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />this one :-)
will reboot :-)

For NSTwGL, the procedure is similar, but the kernel must be taken from here.

1. You need to see the version of your firmware. To do this, turn on the booklet, press the n button, then setings, device info, About Yuor NOOK, Software version. If the version is 1.0.0 or 1.0.1, then download the Jars 1.0 archive, if it is 1.1.0 or 1.1.2, then download the Jars 1.1
2. You need to get administrator rights to Nuk, those make a root (unless of course it has not been done yet :-)).
To do this, follow the linkBarnes & Noble NOOK (The Simple Touch Reader) - firmware
and read the item "Spoiler (+/-) (Getting full (root) access to the operating system NOOK Simple Touch)"
If you have firmware 1,1,2 or 1,1,0 and you made a root with the help of the NOOKTOUCH12 package, then you already have the nook touch tools installed. :-)
If firmware is 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 and you installed the NOOKTOUCHER package, then you need to install root explorer.
3. To do this, follow the link
//savagemessiahzine.com/forum/dl/post/1852209/Root_Explorer2.20.1.apk
(Or you can find it in the market.
Download root explorer. We drop it onto a memory card, unpack our kernel (Jars 1.0) and drop the android.policy.jar, services.jar files and the NookTouchTools-1.0b2.apk file onto the memory card. Next, install the root explorer,
open it, make backup files android.policy.jar, services.jar lying on the path / system / framework / (Backup system files do just in case, suddenly something will stop working :-) that is unlikely). Then we climb to our freshly rolled up android.policy.jar and services.jar, copy them (long press on the file, then copy). then we go along the path / system / framework / click the button "Mount R / W", after clicking it changes to "Mount R / O" and click insert.
Next, we put NookTouchTools-1.0b2.apk.
Reboot Nuk, rejoice.

WiFiAdhoc support
Author - E = M [c]

0. Download and install Root Explorer (or another file manager)
1. Download attachedfile, unpack, erase (by simple renaming) .adhocfix from the name. Threw on the SD card in Nook.
2. Turn off Wi-Fi on Nuk.
3. Opened the Root Explorer, / system / bin /, copied wpa_supplicant to the SD card (but not to the place where the modified file already lies).
4. Clicked Mount R / W. (Mount R / W - an action that allows you to "manipulate" system files, which we do.)
5. Returned to the SD card for the MODIFIED (already renamed) file wpa_supplicant, replace it with the one that is in / system / bin / (and not the one that you from / system / bin / copied to the SD card).
6. Long press on wpa_supplicant, Permissions (Permissions), and put a tick - in the first row 3 jackdaws, in the second only the top, in the third 3 jackdaws, click OK.
7. Go along the path /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini copy this tiwlan.ini file to the SD card, connect the Nook to the computer, open it with any text editor (Notepad, for example) find the line WiFiAdhoc = 0 and change the "0" on "1". We save.
8. The edited file (with Mount R / W rights) is postponed with replacement in /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini.
9. Turn on Wi-Fi and see ad-hok network.
10. We are happy.

Installation of the navigator (GPS)
It is very convenient for use on the sun, in a campaign, etc.
because The screen fades on the phone and puts the battery down heavily.

To start the GPS emulator, you must set the mock_location parameter
Everything is simple in the phone - this is a daw in the settings "Fake locations" (Allow mock locations),
And in the settings of the stripped down android on the reader there is no access to it.
In order to get to it we install SQLite editor
With it, open Settings Storage (com.android.providers.settings) ->settings.db ->secure
And change the value of mock_location from 0 to 1 - save.

We transfer the phone to the WiFi mode of the point to connect from the reader to the phone
I have Anroid 4.0.4 on my phone - it has this mode in the default settings.
For earlier versions you will need to install the program.
like Wireless Tether for Root Users
Activate WiFi on the reader and connect to the phone.

In order for the reader to see the phone's GPS set
TetherGPS program on the phone and on the reader.
On the phone, run in server mode (do not forget to turn on the GPS)
Additionally, I had to manually set the network mask on the phone
because when the Automatic Broadcast IP checkbox is checked
incorrect settings. The netmask can be spied by running on
reader program like myip and replacing the extreme digit of the address to 255
Those. if you see the address 192.168.5.33 in the server settings on the phone you register 192.168.5.255

On the reader run in client mode.
If everything is fine, a blue drop will appear in the status bar of the phone.
and start running tsiferki data transfer indication
(if the satellites are not visible, then the droplet will be red)
A similar droplet with running numbers will appear in the status bar of the reader.
If something is wrong, then instead of a drop there will be a message about the corresponding error.

Now you can install yandexmap, navitel or any other navigator - GPS appeared on the NST.

PS free TetherGPS Lite has a limitation - the server shuts down after 5 minutes and it must be manually started again.
You can find versions 1.1.5 and 1.2.0, but for Android 4.x you need version 1.2.1 and higher on the phone.

Auto update
How from from the shell command line (adb shell, or .shell from Android ADB)
-check whether auto-update is disabled (manual) or not disabled (auto):
sqlite3 /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db "select value from registry where name = 'com.bn.device.fota.mode';"

example
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db "select value from registry where name = 'com.bn.device.fota.mode';"
sqlite3 /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db "select value from registry where name = 'com.bn.device.fota.mode';"
manual
#

- disable auto-update firmware:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db "update registry set value = 'manual' where name = 'com.bn.device.fota.mode';"

Connect to NST USB GPS
usb gpsBU-353S4
Any UsbGPS on converter 2303 or com (ps \ 2) GPS is suitable via a cord on a 2303 chip

NST usb controller can operate in usb host mode
if you activate it, you can connect any usb device
printer, flash drive, keyboard, zvukovuhu, gps receiver ...

1) It will be necessary to replace the stock kernel with the kernel with support for usb host and the usb-to-com converter support module pl2303

in the section creating / restoring a backup, you can read how to prepare for loading an sd card with a NOOGIE image

booting from such a card and connecting the NST to the computer we see a disk labeled boot
it will have a uImage file that needs to be replaced with a similar one.
by downloadinghere
Safely disable the disk, remove sd c noogle image, reboot

Install the program

Usbmode- usb mode control
Attention - when setting the power mode of external devices, charging is impossible.
If you forget to disconnect it, the battery will continue to discharge in spite of the connected charging.
BU-353S4 consumes 55mA
In the program, you can turn on the 100m or auto
after that we connect gps
the LED on it lights up - power is coming
by the ViewUsb button you can see that the device is detected by the system.

SerialPort- control COM port
it is necessary to set the port speed identical to the gps port settings
Go to the Setup section and set the speed for / dev / ttyUSB0
the default is 4800
in principle, the speed can be changed with the utility from the kit,
but if you do not turn on the settings for a long time, they will be reset as soon as the ionistor is discharged.
Go to the Console section - see the data stream.
If the console instead of data gps garbage, perhaps the port speed is selected incorrectly.

UsbGPS4Droid- initiation of the UsbGps receiver in the system
Choose gps (it's one / dev / ttyUSB0, but you can connect a few via UsbHub)
We put a daw StartGPS

you must set the mock_location parameter
Everything is simple in the phone - this is a daw in the settings "Fake locations" (Allow mock locations),
And in the settings of the stripped down android on the reader there is no access to it.
In order to get to it we install SQLite editor
With it, open Settings Storage (com.android.providers.settings) ->settings.db ->secure
And change the value of mock_location from 0 to 1 - save.

All - you can run the navigator
it will first go into GPS data standby
as soon as the receiver catches the satellites (the LED will start blinking)
get the coordinates

BU-353S4 consumes 55mA
In theory, this is less than consumed WiFi when connecting to the phone.
When testing with enabled UsbGPS, XCSoar, Navigator and WiFi off
for 3 hours the battery is half discharged.

New core with fast screen mode
Onmade a new corecleaning inertia screen reader
almost to the TFT level(at least in evil birds irat quite comfortably)
And overclocking percent (OMAP 3630) from 800 to 1100 MHz

in the section creating / restoring a backup, you can read how to prepare for loading an sd card with a NOOGIE image

booting from such a card and connecting the NST to the computer we see a disk labeled boot
it will have a uImage file that needs to be replaced with a similar one.
Kernel with FastDisplayMode
Kernel with FastDisplayMode & UsbHost (but without pl2303)

Safely disable the disk, remove sd c noogle image, reboot

To enable / disable the mode, you need to change the content.
/sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode

You can use to switch to firmware version 1.1.xapplication

For 1.2.1 you can use the script

Enter FastMode:
echo 1>/sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode
Exit FastMode:
echo 0>/sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode

making shortcuts to run using gscript

checked for NST without backlight - works
for NstGL, it should work too, but you may need to install not only the kernel, but the entire zip through clockwork

Solving the problem of invisible text in the menu of some programs
Details here:Clockworkmod based Recovery
Briefly: some programs write color in some of their menus in white on white. It is impossible to change the text color in all programs, but you can change the background by editing the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk

(I work through noogie, but this is not necessary)
1. create a backup!
2. copy the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk to a computer
3. choose one of the topics (lightordark). I recommend the "light theme" - it does not greatly change the usual look of the interface.
4. open the downloaded file as an archive and from the directory / res / drawable-mdpi extract files with the date of the 13th year and the names * .9.png. They should be 26 or 28, depending on the topic. Detailshere.
5. we throw all the files in apk / res / drawable-mdpi of our file
6. we transfer the modified file back to the Nook in / system / framework / and set permissions "as it was", i.e. 644, root user: root
7. Overload.

Now white text in programs such as Total Commander, GoldenDict, etc. visible on a gray background.
Addition:Barnes & Noble NOOK (The Simple Touch Reader) - firmware (Post # 31478046)

Replacing standard recovery with Clockworkmod 5
Details here:Clockworkmod based Recovery(transferof thispost) orhere
Briefly: the ability to make a local backup, which is "always with you." You can quickly restore a book in hiking conditions and some more nice chips.
Installation can follow the instructions in the post or done manually (via noogie):
1. make a backup. Can full, you can only / boot / uRecImg and / boot / uRecRam
2. offileget the files uImage and uRamDisk
3. rename
uImage ->uRecImg
uRamDisk ->uRecRam

4. replace the old ones in / boot with these files

Using:
1. turn off and turn on the book
2. at the moment when “read forever” appears on the screen, press and hold both lower keys until the screen changes again. Wait until the recovery menu appears (you can also press one of the side keys if the menu does not appear for a long time)
3. In the CMW I work the keys:
Both keys left: BACK
Top right key: UP
Bottom key to the right: DOWN
N Key: CHOOSE
Power key: SWITCH SCREEN

Step-by-step instruction for NST USB Sound
Made a digest fromfrom the source branch on xda-dev

1. we take rutovany Nuk
In my case, without backlight 1.2.1, but since All recipes are taken from 1.1.2 and then everything is fine.
Rutoval
As for GL, the core will definitely fit, and uRamdisk may have to pick your own, although everything seems to be just there should be)

2. we take uImage and uRamdisk from archive (USB host mode and audio drivers) and replace them on the boot disk
I just downloaded the NST with the Noogie image and rewrote the boot in the root of the disk by connecting it to my computer.
Maybe someone will be more convenient through adb

3. install from archive
UsbMode-1.7.apk
AudioCtl-1.0.apk
Recorder-1.2.apk
The latest versions here

4. Copy the text file with the /system/etc/asound.conf from the archive

5. delete /system/lib/hw/alsa.zoom2.so (if it’s scary to delete, rename alsa.zoom2.bak)

6. change the file /system/lib/hw/alsa.default.so in the hex editor (you can take it ready from the archive)
[00002270] 40 1F =>44 AC

7. change /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml by adding<group gid = "audio" />

<permission name = "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid = "sdcard_rw" />
<group gid = "audio" />
</ permission>

8. Copy the AlsaMixer files from the archive to the / system / bin directory.

All files set read permission for all
for AlsaMixer files also to launch
I just copied the gentle files to the card and shoved it into the necessary folders using RootExplorer
In theory, the installation of the archive should work completely through the recovery, but did not check.

9. reboot
10. Connect your USB audio adapter via OTG cable
11. Run UsbMode and set the host mode.
on zvukovuhe light bulbs
and on the ViewUSB button in UsbMode we observe a branch with our sound ID
and there should be a fat point opposite each of the branch devices,
meaning that the device has been detected and the driver loaded
HID device may also appear
does this mean in the chip of your zvukovuhi there is a keyboard
those. volume buttons, microphone off, etc.
even if they are not physically present

12. Run AudioCtl - beeps - everything is OK

13. put the player paying attention to the version of Andryukha (we have 2.1)
i setAndroid Music 1.6+
opened mp3 - plays
You can put Skype, etc.
What about another player, you should try to make a backup of the system
For example, the installation of Vanilla Music Player made the system inoperable - when you start mp3, a black screen and a hang

14. In order for UsbGps4Droid to work, you need to take the old version from the archive and delete the file / system / bin / rild of the cellular daemon blocking the port of the standard GPS

Hello. Are any Barnes & Noble BNRV300 (elinc) users left?
Are there any firmware on it, so that there is no need to register the device, as well as to expand the number of supported formats?

Rep: (2)
The question he has is that he wants to register on his account.

And the answer is that you can download the image of a worker with all the buns and software, and it is NOT REGISTERED. Will only register.



Rep: (4)
Tell me, my book was registered, everything worked fine. She lay for some time and now discharges 10% per day. The battery capacity was measured with a tester 1400. The time for the WiFi is updated, but with the nook account the problem, writes that Wifi is disabled. As I understand it until you can properly connect your account and will put the battery? Has anyone encountered this, and how can this problem be solved.?

How to solve this problem fashionably.?

Replace the battery.



Rep: (4)
* vadeus ,
I suspect that the problem is just that it does not see the account and therefore is discharged. This was if you miss the registration when you first start ....
Or have you already had that?



Rep: (3916)

How old is the battery then: rolleyes:?
In what settings does the account write?



Rep: (4)
* vadeus ,
The capacity of the battery was checked by 1400 out of 1500, which seems to be still a normal indicator, it does not look like a self-discharge, it is very fast.
But in the account management does not allow to go, writes connect WIFI.
Although the settings says that the account is connected ..
