[Q] slideIT installation problems... - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have used autonooter 3.0 on my NC. Trying to get slideIT to work but for some reason I have read and tried just about everything but can't get it to work. I was able to get the gingerbread keyboard to work and show up under input method by copying the gingerbread.apk to the sd card and then recopying it to the /system/apps folder and reinstalling with Astro file manager. I have tried to the same with slideIT in a bunch of different ways and it says its installed but it is not an option under nook tools settings or under the input method menu. Has anybody run into this and have a fix? Thanks
Also does anyone know how to turn off updates via wifi?

Keyboard from one Froyo to another

I have a question. Hopefully someone could possibly help me? I have onyx r2.2 running flawless. But I really like the Multi-touch keyboard from GothicKanged Froyo. So I downloaded the whole update.zip of GothicKanged and pulled that apk from the rom but when I try to install it, it prompts me telling me that it will replace another keyboard but all my data will be saved, I click okay and it tries to install but doesn't. I also tried using root explorer and placed the apk into /system/apps and it shows as an option but it won't ever load up and just force closes.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Installing Market to Nook Touch

I have rooted my Nook Touch and found I could not search market. I read several articles and attemped to get Market to search. In the process I removed the vending.apk (with adb) and attemped to install a new market that reportely was working with the Touch.
This prompted several errors and finally installed the new Market, however the Market would not run, only allowing the credit/accept page then returned to the main menu. I have uninstalled/attempted to install via ADB and also used Push with no suscess.
Apparently I am missing some step and now need all the advice I can get
THANKS!

This is a working version of market: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51. I just install it over the one that comes with TouchNooter after I've TouchNootered the nook. I copy the vending.apk from my computer to a download directory on my SD card and then, using Root Explorer to access it on my Nook Touch, install it. Works a charm. HTH.
That was the answer! THanks
Hi
my market dont work,and i have not root explorer& file manager
how install apps & market ?
Access market on your computer (PC/Mac/Linux), choose programs, and then enter market. The programs you downloaded on the computer will be downloaded to the nook.
I can't access the Market site; it complains that I don't have any devices registers and tells me to start with the device first :/

Jago, It seems Google has blocked the nook from being able to access the market, from PC. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294723&highlight=android+market

restoring default keyboard

UPDATE: rather than try to restore the original nook keyboard, that I'm not interested in except to allow reinstallion of go keyboard, I installed another popular keyboard, SlideIT, and enabled it with a modified Sqlite3 code of Renate. Provider for the SlideIT is
com.dasur.slideit/.SlideITIME
Now if I don't like the SlideIT keyboard, I can always reinstall go keyboard after uninstalling the SlideIT.
===
Unfortunately I still have problems with the go keyboard, and this time it is completely my fault. Following Renate's instructions about sqlite3, I was able to install the free version of the keyboard, but hated the ads that came with it. My mistake was in uninstalling the ad-ridden version when I think I should have replaced the it with my other version (although that might not work either because the new install might require unstalling the old app). After unstalling it, I tried installing the new version but was unable to do so - I've tried everything I can do to install it. Rebooted - reinstalled. No luck. Deleted the old version from the system/ap folder using root explorer, then tried reinstalling - again no luck. Tried repeating the sqlite commands - nope! etc.
Using Nook Color Tools, I find that the go keyboard.pad process is still running and cannot be shut off. I suppose that is the problem.
It seems like what I need to do is to reverse the 'enable' go keyboard sqlite commands, with another sest of sqlite commands that restores the default keyboard. Is that possible, and if so what would I use to replace the 'go keyboard' material in sqlite for the 'default keyboard'?
I suppose I need the provider for the default keyboard, and the name of the keyboard.
Once that's done, then I think I can install my go keyboard using sqlite (?)

[Q] Help, can't install apps whatever I do

Hello. I'm new here, and I'm not sure if this post goes here or in the Apps subforum. If I'm mistaken please forgive me.
I rooted my Nook Touch and I followed some instructions to make the Market app work. But it doesn't search anything so I can't install anything.
I need at least an app to access the filesystem from the PC, or the app "SearchMarket" so I can properly use the Market to install things.
I've tried a lot of things but nothing had worked:
Install SearchMarket from play.google.com and send it to my Nook -> Nothing happens to me.
Install from the PC -> I've read various guides but I can't never connect my Nook to the PC that way, the USB drivers never works.
Install Opera and install apk from there -> I install Opera, but as soon as I launch it, it crashes.
¿A way to install apps, please? I'm desperate here, as nothing I've tried have worked.
I'm not a completely noob, I've root several devices and I know about computers. I'm just new here and for some reason I can't get the guides I read to work.
Thanks in advance.
::::::::::::::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::::::::::::::
OK, finally managed to install SearchMarket!!!
Now I need to access file system from PC to modify the internal dictionary, because I want to change the language... how can I do that? Thanks!
::::::::::::::::::::::::EDIT2::::::::::::::::::::::::
I guess ES Explorer will do the trick. Thanks anyway xD

help get my rooted nstg functional

hello all
for the past week I've been doing all that I can (but I'm by no means an expert) to get my favorite ol' NSTG rooted. I intend to use it as just a reader with gmail and google voice installed so I can text from it. however, I'm running into more problems than I bargained for. been slowly working on it for a week, tackling one problem after another, but now it seems I'm at my wits end with my inexpert troubleshooting skills. I'm hoping I can glean some of xdas superior hacking abilities. I'm following the root guide as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675706.
so far, I have rooted my Nook. Since there is no native file explorer, I cant side load apps from my sdcard. I've installed es file explorer from google.com/play from my tablet onto my nook and that worked fine for about a minute. I tried installing apps, but I was encountering an error message where it says my sdcard is full (which it wasn't). OK, so i need to adb install nookmanagers packageinstaller.apk (page 13 of forum). well, computer sees my nook as a USB storage device, but adb devices refuses to acknowledge my Nook (I've enabled USB debugging). the Nook Imple Tocu driver wasn't installed, although all of the other usb devices associated with my nook installed fine. I factory restore and tried reinstalling the driver to see if it would work. rerooted, but this time added some apps to the glownooter-1-12-25 under data/apps but only 1 app was installed (einknorefresh out of market search, es file explorer, and Renee NST reader). still stuck without a file explorer, I tried reinstalling es file explorer but google play won't let me, thinking I've already on my device. back to adb, the same issue of adb devices not recognizing my device.
so now, I have a rooted NSTG with gmail working, but the native web browser fails after clicking on a google search result, and I have no file explorer (without an idea how to get a file explorer onto it). idk how to access the apks on my sdcard, and if I did, how I could get the package installer.apk working properly, as adb doesn't see my devices.
if all else fails, I'll just try another root method >_<. but honestly, I'm not looking to use this intensely. just to read PDFs that the native reader doesn't do well, with gmail and google voice (maybe even placing calls with a microphones headphones through the microusb port if that possible, as I saw a thread suggesting that), multi touch and USB otg. but hey, one thing at a time here
XDA gods, I leave the fate of my favorite ereader in your hands, and thanks in advance.
