[Q] Passing to Android from Nook - Nook Touch General

I have a nook simple touch reader, I installed android with a sd card following these instructions
--------------------------------------------------------
For Windows users:
Run WinImage.exe (Right click, Run as Administrator)
Select Disk from the menu and select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image...".
Select your SDCard from the list and click OK.
In the Open dialog box select "All Files" in the lower right file type box, browse to nookhoney.img, select, and click Open.
--------------------------------------------------------
When I rebooted it was a screen that allowed me to choose two options, one was "ADW"(I suppose that is android) and "Home" (usual nook). I selected "Home" and made a tick on the box to make it default. Now I do not know how to go to android from the nook "Home".
Could you help me, please?

Don't know about nookhoney.img - I used MinimalTouch.
I have a faint symbol on the right hand of the screen. Touching the symbol makes a faint menu pop up.

@niaosan: That's Button Savior, it will get you back to the Launcher, but won't change the preference.
@genoxygen: I'm not familiar with nookhoney.img
Some folks have Nook Touch Tools or Nook Color Tools which have functions for changing activity preferences.
Do you have ADB to your Nook?
I just do this stuff by hand.
Code:
adb pull /data/system/packages.xml
Then edit the XML taking the "guts" out of <preferred-activities>
That is, deleting the lines between, but leave <preferred-activities> and </preferred-activities> alone.
Code:
adb push packages.xml /data/system/

Are you sure you are speaking about the Nook Simple Touch (black and white ebook reader), and not about the Nook Color or the Nook Tablet? nookhoney is for the Nook Color. They are supported in different sub-forums.

My nook is the "simple touch reader" and the software android software is touchnooter-2-1-31.
Sorry about the confussion.
-------------------------------------------------------
I observed I have a button on the screen, to right, I pressed that button, and there are 5 options.
-three cercles
when pressing them, it shows me another menu, to choose a telephone, a camera and a seacrh option.
-arrow
Superuser Request. Button Savior is requesting Superuser access.
I pressed Allow, but I do not know what is its utility.
-four squares
- a house
goes to nook home
- a power down button
does not do nothing
-------------------------------------------------------
I pressed all those button but none of them takes me to android. What could I do next?
Did I installed correctly android to my device with these instructions?
--------------------------------------------------------
For Windows users:
Run WinImage.exe (Right click, Run as Administrator)
Select Disk from the menu and select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image...".
Select your SDCard from the list and click OK.
In the Open dialog box select "All Files" in the lower right file type box, browse to touchnooter-2-1-31.img, select, and click Open.
--------------------------------------------------------

"House" is going to Nook stock Home because you selected the wrong activity.
My advice is as above or use one of the "Nook Tools".

By the way, you didn't install android, because it was already in there. You were allowed to bypass the restricted Barnes&Noble reader part and run your STR as a full android e-reader/tablet.

I do not know how to use adb, although I have it installed on my Windows OS...
------------------
What could I do? Should i...?
- Restore my nook firmware, installing n2T-Recovery_0.1.rar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289233
- Install touchnooter-2-1-31
- Choose "adk" instead of "home", should I make it default or not? If made default, can I go easily to nook "home"? Or there will be the same problem like the one I had?

You can always get back to the Nook Home page (unless you deleted it like I did ).
The adb you want is in the Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
You can use it over Wifi or USB. The USB needs drivers on your desktop though.
The file is adb.exe
It should be in something like C:\Program Files\Android\SDK\platform-tools
Code:
adb connect 192.168.1.27 [i]or whatever[/i]
adb shell
ls

Thank you so much. Finally I did it.

in refrence to this thred how do i run a backup.bat ? my phone keeps saying this

If you are trying to change the Page Pool, the batch files need to be run on your PC, with your phone connected via ActiveSync.
i tried from the pc but it5 wont open and it opens to the icons properties

How are you running it on the PC? Double-clicking on the .bat file? And you are running Windows, right?
It is possible that your file associations are messed up for batch files. Try doing it this way:
1) Unzip the Page Pool files to somewhere that will be easy to find - like c:\PPool
2) Go to Start > Run
3) type 'cmd' in the Open box and click OK. (do not type the quote marks, just cmd). if you did it right, a black "DOS" window should open.
4) Type 'c:' and press <Return> (assuming that you unzipped to the c: drive - and again, don't type the quotes)
5) Type 'cd PPool' and press Return. The command prompt should now read C:\PPool. If you used a different directory name, then substitute that name for the PPool in my example.
6) Make sure that your phone is connected via ActiveSync. Type backup.bat and press return
If you did it right, it should display a line of text starting with 'pdocread', and then another line starting with 'copying'...
All in all, it should take about 15 seconds to perform the backup and then drop you back to your command prompt.
When the backup is complete, you can do the pagepool change by entering the size you want and pressing Return (4.bat, or 6.bat, for example)
Good luck,
ok il try that also how do i install java games for this and i would like to know what games are supported and if theres a gba emulator for this wing?

Java files are installed after launching Jbed or any Java client on your PocketPC first.
There are a lot of emulators including Game Boy Advance. Have a look at here

Everything on the Windows Phone 8 Emulator

The Windows Phone 8 Emulator is installed as a part of the Windows Phone 8 SDK. You can follow some steps below to begin hacking the emulator.
Things to do:
everything....
InteropUnlock
BCD Editing
Well, first thing is first. Getting the WP8 SDK to install.
PREREQUISITES:
A SLAT capable CPU and BIOS. Some OEMs have only enabled the virtualization feature, but missed the SLAT feature.
Your computer needs to support hardware DEP (No execute bit for AMD).
An OS that supports Hyper-V: Server 2008, 2008R2, 2010, 2012, 2012R2, or Windows 8 Pro.
Note: AFAIK, the only officially supported OS for this is Win8Pro-x64
Access to a user account that has Administrator rights.
Steps for "Getting Ready!"
Set the date to 10/5/13 - one day before expiration (thanks to mister2d.)
Install the SDK normally. (Note: the complete SDK should be installable on any 64bit OS that has the OS version at 6.1 or newer, just follow the tutorial in my signature.)
Install the Visual Studio Update 4.
Install the Windows Phone Emulator - Update 3
Now, most of you can launch the emulator by opening the Windows Phone Deployment Tool (or Windows Phone Power Tools) and deploy to the resolution of choice and to either RTM or GDR3.
I seemed to hit a bug where XDE (the emulator shell) can't create a Virtual Machine properly. It seems to be surrounding the disk being attached improperly.
So.... You can skip the entire part above if you have the Flash.vhd and the desired resolution vhd.
Using the WP8 emulator only using Hyper-V Manager
Open Hyper-V Manager
Click on New, then Virtual Machine
Name the VM what ever you like.
Set RAM at 512 or 1024. 2048 me be a little finicky.
Leave Networking on Not Connected unless you have fully configured Hyper-V.
Select "Attach a virtual hard disk later"
Click Finish.
Right click on the VM you have just created and go to settings.
Click on DVD Drive and press remove.
Click on Hard Drive and paste the location of the desired resolution vhd.
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0GDR3\Emulation\Images\Flash.480x800.vhd
Double click on the VM to bring up the control interface and press the blue-green "start" button.
Controls for the VM:
Back - Escape/F1
Start - F2
Search - F3
Vol UP - F9
Vol Down - F10
Camera full-press? - F7
Mouse left & right click - tap
NOTE: THE CURSOR DISAPPEARS WHEN MOVED INTO THE VM SCREEN.
Things disable out of box.
Microsoft accounts
dialer (I can't seem to get any of the dialer codes to work yet.)
camera (kinda...just displays a colored box running around the edges.)
Steps to InteropUnlock:
Attach the vhd
type diskmgmt.msc at the start screen. click attach vhd. paste the location of the vhd and press ok.
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0GDR3\Emulation\Images\Flash.480x800.vhd
right click on blue disk shown and click on detach vhd once done with working on it.
type regedit.exe at the start screen.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click File, Load Hive.
Go to the main partition (the one that has all the links to the other drives...)
and go down to Windows\System32\config (it will ask for permission to enter...)
Hmm....Seems to be interopunlocked already...
More soon!
reserved
Just saying this in case you didn't know this: You can mount the VHD file as a hardware and explore/edit emulator system files.
That's exactly what's in the op, but I'm not sure what persists and there's a few others too, but I ran out of time to mess with it. Just highlight the text and you'll see that the directions are there.
Essentially this should be able to operate like a real device, but it needs a few tweaks. Also its funny to see in settings for it to say i386 under the SoC.
Sent from my Lumia 928 (RM-860) using Tapatalk
Convert VHD into vmdisk, then you can run the emulator in VMWare directly with CPU without SALT or VT and can also without win8
Saw this over on the winbeta site. Didn't really check it out but may be useful in backing up any work done on the emulators. As I said I didn't take much time checking it out but may be worth a look. http://go.altaro.com/?LP=WinBeta-30...tm_medium=banner-300x250&utm_campaign=winbeta
What would be really nice is to make it so you can connect your MS account from the emulator.

Yeah it might just need an easy tweak, but then again I simply don't know.

Hey Guys, in this Tutorial I'll gonna show you how to emulate Android KitKat in a virtual machine.
Preparation: Download this modified ISO Image: http://goo.gl/5iP47I
Download Virtual Box for your operating System.
Open VirtualBox. Click "New" & select the same attributes like them on the screenshot.
Select about 1600 Megabyte of RAM. (Or try to stay in the green mark.)
Klick "Create".
Choose "Dynamically allocated"
Select the Hard Disk size of your Virtual Machine. I took 8 GB and I recommend that value as minimum.
Choose "Create a virtual hard disk drive now "and klick "Create". Then Start your machine.
Now the emulated BIOS should start and you should be able to choose your downloaded .iso by clicking on the little folder icon with the green arrow.
When you see this screen, choose "Installation"
Now select "Create/Modify partitions"
Now you see your virtual hard disk as "free space", select "New", then "Primary" and then enter again.
Now you should see you created partition called "sda1" with the Size you made your virtual hard disk. Now navigate at the bottom to "Write" and klick enter. Confirm all questions and then klick "Quit".
Now choose your "sda1".
Format "sda1" as a ext3 filesystem.
Now reboot.
Now, before booting Android, choose under Devices>CD/DVD Devices>Host Drive, so that your iso is not selected anymore.
Power off your machine.
Start again and choose the first boot method.
Now your Android should start and be patient, it's the first start.
Huraaaaaaay! Now you have a great Android virtual Machine with Android KitKat.
Note: For VMWare Player it's exactly the same, just ignore the first three steps and select from beginning the .iso file.

I did every step you have written. But when I select installation it should show me the disk partitioning screen but instead of it just show 'restarting in 60 secs'
searched google but didn't find the solution..
BTW nice tut..
Did you set your sda1 as "write" partition? (12th Pic)
If you don't find a solution I can export my already created VM, upload it to my Mega-account and then you can import it..

With cifs you can mount any shares exposed to your network by the Windows fileserver you have at home, for example.

I just tried this on my Fire 7 with a fresh install of CM but I cannot play any of my music files. I can use the file manager to copy the file to my internal storage but when I try to play them directly from the dir the music app says "IO Error" and VLC simply says "<filename> cannot be played!". Any suggestions?

Awesome. Thanks for looking into it!
Please help a NOOB
using a firetablet 7 inch, nexus rom, fresh install after first section seems to run ok I get stumped at create /data/media/0/shares.
Using file explorer I can't find /data/media/0 ??
Is there an app like foldermount that does this more automagically ?? or maybe a script file that someone could write....RootJunky. ??

Thanks, that does it - it would be nice to have an updated apk that search-inserts these modules on its own though... it's not like typing on the android screen keyboard is l lot of fun :-\ and I only stumbled upon the solution after some searching around.
