Hey all,
I am looking to install CM7 on my Kindle and am just worried about losing my save games - I'd prefer not to. :] Does anyone know where they are located on the KF and where I should move them to once I have CM7 installed?
Thanks.

Ok, my wife got an NC and at first she loved it, then the more she started messing around with it, the more she noticed it would freeze occasionally here and there. I suggested going the custom rom route and overclocking, but before I started the process wanted to make sure a couple of things.
1. After reading it seems like if you want to run a custom rom, it MUST be run from the sd card? Is this correct? Or is it possible to run it from the emmc?
2. After installing custom roms, will she still be able to access her library? Can she re-download the stuff she had previously? I'm not sure how all this works yet tbh, lol... (I would assume yes, but we all know what assuming does )
3. I saw something where people were install the custom rom to the sd, but still running the stock on the emmc, why?
Thanks in advance for all your help!

1. False, I would reccomend running from the eemc if you won't miss the stock ui
2. I do not know as after I opened up my nook I installed cm7 to my eemc hopefully someone else can help you here
3. Eh, some people like the stock reading experience I guess. You could run stock from a SD card if you still want to keep it around.

1.It's not necessary to run it in the emmc, but it is RECOMMENDED provided that you're willing to lose the STOCK ROM.
2.She can't access her library IF the custom ROM has been installed in the emmc, but if it was installed in the sd, she can. What she'll need to do is just boot the nook without the SD in it.
3.Yup. It's because theywant to retain being able to use the regular stock ROM, which of course has access to B&N's market for books and apps. But now, it's possible to install the stock ROM in the sd.
Ok, so if she wants access to her library she has to use the stock rom PERIOD, right? Any tips on making the stock rom freeze up less? Is it safe just rooting and overclocking the stock rom?

YES. If the library's a MUST for her, then you can just root the stock rom (so you can install market apps) and flash dalingrin's kernel to overclock it (which would significantly speed up the nook and lessen freezes).
I am running CM7 from emmc and have access to all my Barnes and Noble books through the Nook app from market, if that is what you mean. There are a few children's books that may not work with the Nook app and I am given to understand some magazine subscriptions might be unavailable but it is not a problem for me.

All yours questions have been answered by others so I just chip in my experience.
1. If you run CM7 off uSD card, using Nook App will be much better.
2. If you run CM7 from eMMC and want to use Nook App, you MUST have an external uSD card plugged in anyway. W/o the card, it won't work properly.
3. Even with the Nook app running, I believe you will lose some features that stock Froyo offered such audio book?

That is not correct. If her library is of the books that she has downloaded from B&N that library is always available. When she signs in with the Nook Android app the library will sync and she can re-download any book she previously purchased from B&N.
Hi all, I have one Kindle fire with CM7 working great (thanks developers!!!), but i have one question.....
I was using my kindle fire normally, with amazon S.O. Installed lot of apps and games from amazon market and others downloaded form internet. Then I installed FIREFIREFIRE + TWRP, installed CM7 throw TWRP and click on WIPE.....
But when my CM7 first start i see all my data still on device, at their folders, but apps and games dont. And i see lot of storage is full, but with which data? i think, maybe, games and apps installed before CM7 still mantain their data on my kindle Fire...... then my question is, where i must look for to delete that data and free that storage? Wich step must i folllow to clean my kindle system?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english, i was looking for another thread like this because lot of us have installed CM7 and i think we must have same problem, but no lucky.
I been looking around and i found some threads but I just wanted to make this clear.
If your on Stock 1.4.1 you can't side load apps at all unless you root your nook?
And to root it you need to downgrade then upgrade and loose all your data right?
My friend has a 1.4.1 nook and I was going to side load a apk to get on our wireless and it won't work AND the app isn't in the nook market.
Its Called XpressConnect
I tried using the different scripts and I couldn't get ADB to recognize the Nook Tablet and whenever I see anything about nook and ADB I go right back into the rooting stuff and rooting unfortunately is not a option.
Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything
Thanks in advance
We know that B&N v1.4.1 blocked the sideloading feature. I don't know that even with rooted v1.4.1, it works or not. Someone will please verify this as I want to know too.
I don't believe rooting will remove/delete any of your data.
Side question: are you talking about Nook Tablet or Nook Color?
You're trying to sideload apps without rooting, correct? Are you using a Nook COLOR or a Nook TABLET?
On the Tablet, 1.4.0 still allowed sideloading, while 1.4.1 blocked it.
On the Color, I was not able to get the required settings to sideload without root on 1.4.1. I am not 100% sure if it can be done or not.

Sideloading works just fine on a rooted Nook Color running 1.4.1
Nook Tablet
And which root method can I use that will not loose any data? If I root does it block any of the Nook services? Will they know? I don't want to screw my friend over on her "Nook" Experience lol I just want to load this one apk so she can get on the companys wifi
Thanks magicland for the confirmation on rooted NC v1.4.1.
Capcom,
I don't have the NT so I can't help. Other members might help you, if not, you should go to NOOK Tablet forum to get more answer/help since this is the NOOKcolor room.
I am side-loading a Nook Tablet running 1.4.1
...I delete this post as it was meant for the Nook Tablet - not colour....

I was thinking of making a custom rooting script for CWM (probably wouldn't release it), and I mostly want it to have a very small footprint and still have it feel like an unmodified Nook. I've mostly been using CM7 from an SD and haven't dealt with the stock OS much, but lately I've been using it more and I just like the way it's set up for some reason. I rooted it last night, but quickly reverted back after finding most apps 'weren't compatible with my Nook,' surprisingly including Nook Tweaks (I'll admit I was in a bit of a rush and wanted to get back to reading my book, otherwise I probably would have experimented more ). I also found that the apps installed with the root didn't show up in the stock launcher, and I'm not sure if that can be changed, or if it's already like that and I just needed to install an app from the Play Store and it would show up. Oh, and is there a manual root tutorial for 1.4.2 I can base my script on? Otherwise I'm just going to pull some stuff from my script for the Nook Simple Touch and ManualNooter.
You can add non-B&N apps to the B&N home screen using Nook Color App Manager. ManualNooter is pretty lightweight, and would be a good starting point for rooting the NC. I ran B&N 1.4.2 for months using it, and it worked very much as you describe.
Thanks! Only one problem, the Play store won't let me install it for some reason just like Nook Tweaks... How would I fix that?
Edit: And magically, it works now and I can install anything. Huh.
Hello, so im looking into rooting my nook simpletouch, i have found the nook manager thing, that looks simple enough to use, and i will use it to disable some b+n apps whilst also rooting.
ALL EDITED: okay so i found some information:
So i stll have questions, do you remove the image from the sd after you have used it, is it then available to use as storage?
Are both the regular nook and relaunch os running at the same time? does this mean that the battery life is shorter?
How can i get an app for pdf reading or something? do all the android apps work on the rooted nook?
How will i disable some b+n apps, is this via the nook manager?
Sorry that these are really quite nooby questions, i cant really find this information in a format which i fully understand (im really not so great at all this stuff).
Thanks for any help.

1- yes. if you don't have backup on sd, format it with nook and use it.
2- you can use an app manager and kill unwanted processes.
3- all apps that support android 2.1 work on nook.
4- with total commander , root explorer or any similar file manager app. find app in system/app and add .dis to end of file name.

Make sure you copy backup from Nookmanager to your PC first!
Easiest way to do this is to run nookmanager and connect usb to PC then copy the backup.tar.gz from the second drive.
Before you get rid of nookmanger from sd make sure you do the GAPPSattack bit at the bottom of the guide first.
After you have finished with nookmanager you will need to repartition/format. Easiest tool I have found for doing this is HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool which should be here I think.
If your sdcard is class 10 you might want to consider lower speed card for daily use or apply a patched kernel to address some problems.
