[Q] Just Rooted a Nook Simple Touch, a few questions - Nook Touch General

Hi Guys,
I just rooted a nook simple touch with clockwork installer also.
I still cannot get market to work. Either amazon or google. Google cannot connect. Amazon gives a "parse error" when I try to install.
What is going on?
SEcondly, I have a usb keyboard installed. WHen I am using the usb keyboard, is there a way to make the on-screen keyboard go away?

Yes, install the NullKbd. It's an IME method that does nothing.

Can you get Evo 4g keyboard on Desire?

Does anyone know if you can install the Evo stock keyboard onto the desire. Not only does it have arrows but also has voice to text icon on it. Would save me time from flipping between two different keyboards.

Well. doesn't Htc_ime_mod do everything you want it to. (I know there are no arrows. But voice to text and swipe to change keyboard.)
I tried but got stuck while deodexing it... Maybe some other time. Still Android n00b although hold few degrees in cs.
Don't have that keyboard. I'll look for it. Thanks

Here it is, deodexed and signed. I tried to install it via adb but failed bacause it says it is aleady present (obviously...). Perhaps it can be pushed via recovery? I tried to look into the matter but because of app2sd the situation of my phone appears to be rather chaotic and i didn't want to mess up...another way (drastic) could be to repack a rom with it...any suggestions?

[Q] gingerbread keyboard on mt4g?

anyone try installing the gingerbread keyboard on the mt4g? i just tried and i can't seem to do it...
i installed the zip but i can't choose the gingerbread keyboard. any thoughts?
I installed it (via clockwork) and it will open but everytime I press a key I get a FC for 'android.process.inputmethod.latin' I only have English selected too.
Very strange, hopefully someone sorts this out.
In the mean time, anyone know the terminal or adb commands to uninstall this kb?

I flashed it via clockwork recovery, and don't even see the Gingerbread keyboard listed as an input method. (Same issue as OP) - FWIW I'm running Iced Glacier v1.1.1, phone is rooted with S-OFF.
I'm also on iced glacier, could be the keyboard file you're using. Try the file from a different source..

just out of curiosity, which source did you use?
I used this one from androinica

And it worked?
I had problems at first too - was installing from recovery but couldn't select it after I rebooted.
Figured out that from recovery mode you need to mount /system before installing the zip from sdcard. Mount then install and it should install and be there when you reboot
UPDATE: I'm getting the same FC problems a previous user was having whenever i hit a key on the new keyboard
Wait, what? I tried installing simply with root explorer. There is one file that goes to system/app and another to system/lib. Following a reboot, there is no input option besides the three default inputs.
I tried installing this keyboard a about an hour ago and the following happened: The first install appeared to go well and I could not find the keyboard listed so I tried installing the updated V2(fabulouso ginerbread v2. zip)of this zip and and this time it soft bricked my phone. Luckily I was able to boot into clockworkmode recovery and restore. I am on V5 and have s=off but no other customizations. I have no idea why this happened. Any one have any thoughts on this?

No sir, someone asked what source I obtained the KB I tried from.

[Q] can't scroll down... advice?

Scrolling down or to the left doesn't work. I probably should get this fixed but I don't have stock HTC ROM installed nor even a SenseUI ROM installed.
I'm using amon_ra's recovery image, but can't navigate the menus.
What should I do?
Thanks!
Over at androidforums, I remember seeing a modified recovery that accepted an input other than the trackball. You could try that.

Here is that thread for the modified Recovery: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
After that, if you want to make it stock, you can install the Flashback21 ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
usb wiggle allows the trackball to be moved. Since the usb plugin is on the same tray as the trackball moving the usb plug up and down inside the socket will allow the cursor on screen to move down.

[Q] cannot unlock encrypted phone. FML. :(

hey guys,
i have a stock s4.
i rooted it.
then uninstalled samsung keyboard.
installed custom keyboard.
and unrooted it.
then encrypted it. (i know it was a bad idea, sorry.)
now/ when my phone boots, it asks for password without giving me a keyboard to type it.
im guessing security restriction dont allow custom keyboards to appear before unlocking encryption.
pls tell me a workaround way to fix this problem.
much grateful.
if i cant reconver my data, at least tell me how to get my phone back in working condition.

yeah, but i if i do stuff via download mode or recovery mode, i will loose my data right?
if possible, i dont want loose my data. only if possible. if no choice, then i dont mind.
so how do i know if i can enter download mode or recovery mode? pls help me. i think i can, but im not sure.
i was think of using an OTG cable with a usb keyboard. u think it will work?
The keyboard might also not work as the phone would have nowhere to take the typed characters from. It's 50-50 chance.
For recovery/download mode, turn on the phone by holding volume power and home buttons and yes that would delete everything.

thanks for your reply. you were right, it didnt work.
can anyone tell me a source/link for any custom/stock rom in .tar format so that i can flash it with odin?
.zips can only be flashed with recovery and i prefer odin.
i need it desperately.
ps:
also, can anyone tell me if any recovery can detect external micro sd card or OTG cable storage?

[Q] USB Host without CM7?

I rooted my nook color (running stock OS ver. 1.4.3) to unlock the Play Store. I was hoping to be able to download the Nook Color Tweaks app, but that is only for CM7. Is there a way I can get the USB host mode (there is a USB keyboard I would like to use with my nook) without installing CM7?
If not, is there a way to install CM7 directly to the device, instead of doing this dual boot nonsense? If I install CM7, I will just download the Nook app from the Play Store and never deal with the stock OS again.

You can edit the title if you are using your browser. Maybe you will get a response then. I don't know the answer or I would respond.

USB host mode is only available using CM7.
CM7.1 - download Nook Color Tweaks app
CM7.2 - Nook Tweaks built in
Use correct GApps for Gingerbread from gooim.com
