Hello there,
I'd like to know what are the bugfixes for the version 1.2.1
my nook has the problem of the different bookmark when opening a book from the library and opening a book from the home screen.
sometimes it loses it or goes back to page 1.
Is it fixed in 1.2.1?
all i remember is add a new book reader and many users like it .... and add additional language ( Chinese , vit ... other not remember)
also more protection to prevent root .... that all i know
thx

Hello there, first good job for what you've done with this rom, you're a crack
I've got some question, if someone can asnwer at least one of them it would make me happy
General :
* Is there any way to make or include some g_ether (or anything like this) module in it ? I would prefer to get networking instead of adb/storage.
* Is it possible also to disable the "wifi-firewall" ? I mean, I installed a debian in my SD card, so that I can have a real linu dsitro and tools and also an SSH and Samba server. But I could only connect to it locally or by opening ports with adb forward... it's kinda lame isn't it... just because wifi won't even answers to pings... where is it supposed to be stored ?
* I would like to know also where is the startup script file, because I would only want to auto-initialize the debian install, and why not auto-start some applications that I would build for myself and want to run at phone start.
4.1.999 specific :
* The parameters for the camera aren't working. If I start the camera, press menu and select the Settings item, the app crashes and is launch again (I use french locale if that changes anything).
* The "rotation" animation is not available anymore... perhaps because the rotation time is very fast now too. I prefered the "old-grandma-clock-like" rotation animation, and not he blur one.
* The small Google search widget is nice, but as long as it still takes one row, it's kind of ugly in fact... it makes a huge space under it and you cannot put anything in that space, that's a bit frustrating. Is there a way to get back to the old big widget ?
* I tested 4.1.999 on a second HTC Magic and it seems to be nice and all that, despite I didn't tested all things but, when I'll choose to update my actual stable 4.0.4, and if I don't want to lose my SMS for example, how can I do ? Is there any way to export/import them ?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
this isn't Q&A. Post in right forum

Answering to myself for one of my questions : seems to exist some programs on Market to backup/restore some user data, including SMS/MMS etc. I'll try these. If you've got some good examples of these programs, I would be glad to know about it.
Edit: One good program (not free) is : MyBackup Pro. Did the job just nicely. The only drawback is that the archive format is proprietary so you cannot use it in other software (not XML for example).
Hello guys, there are a lot of questions about wp7 additional fonts support. Btw, a lot of people can't browse their own language websites to read anything on their language. The main issue is that instead of fonts, in the browser appears just empty boxes. We face such problems especially in utf-8 scenario. For instance my language Georgian font could not be shown by the system and os doesn't supports yet. What do you think about solution, have u any ideas how to add Georgian fonts to os and it worked, I mean that it was shown, when I am browsing on Georgian (utf-8) websites.
sup guys

thx Renate , but do u know any adw launcher theme e-inj friendly???? also i need a widget to show time on my desktop screen with weather info and news

and if i wanna reinstall some appz like (Market , Youtube and nook basic browser) ..... do u have any idea
also i wanna add Arabic keyboard to my nook .... if u know method or how develop it , i will appreciate it , cuz i downloaded many keyboards but didnt detect from nook sys
thx any way Renate for ur great support and contribution
I'm not sure about the longevity of the eInk Pearl display.
The manufacturer bandies about a figure of 50,000 hours.
That would be 25 years of 9 to 5 office use.
50,000 hour MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is a standard value for a reliable product.
I think that they just pulled that figure out of the air.
I don't think that the eInk display "wears out" in any particular fashion.
I've never been a big fan of all those "no-refresh" apps.
I just don't think tinkering outside of an application is the best way to attack.
Three of my applications use direct control of the EpdController internally.
I'm sure that there has to be an Arabic keyboard out there.
Is the problem that they use too high a version of Android?
Renate , i have good news about add Arabic keyboard to nook
ok .... first u must have Arabic keyboard apk and paste them in /system/app and then fo to ur nook color tools and choose ur key board and offcurse install Arabic support for browser then try to type something in ur browser (it wont define as a language) then hit search ....and it will appear and viewed in ur search results , i know it's a partially solution but it works for me
i will take print screen and post it in original thread
Keyboards don't have to be installed in /system/app, a regular install is fine.
Yes you do have to enabled it as a keyboard using Tools or configure it in
settings.db, secure, enabled_input_methods.

Hi all,
I rooted my Nook ST more than one year ago, and I'm pretty sure I've read non-english (hungarian) epubs with the builtin reader. But now I have a strange issue: if I try to open a hungarian book, only the first 1 or 2 pages are displayed, and after that it returns to the home screen, like the Reader app crashed or something...
Does anyone have an idea what that can be? (I can open the same books from CoolReader, and I have no problems with english books)
I tried to change the font (hungarian books have special eastern european characters), but it didn't help

WHAT TO DO WITH
___My Nook Simple Touch
I would like to create a thread to help people to make their choice about what to do with their nooks.
What mod should I choose ? why ? can i do this ? to avoid the "if only i've had installed this mod
instead of this one at the time".
Should I update my firmware (now 1.0.1) and to which version ? is there any disadvantage ?
Update to 1.2.1 , you will get a good dictionnary and there is no real reason to stay on earlier versions.
Which Mod should I get and install ? Advantages and disavantage ?
NookManager seems to be the latest and best firmware for now. (30/01/2014)
Can I update android ?
You can't, you will stay Android 2.1 forever
What app should i install ? Compatible with nook ?
Best apps for Nook simple touch (@mantion thread)
Offline wikipedia
Others ?...
Should I install a norefresh tweak, which one is the best ?
Tweaks :
AZERTY Keyboard and Language + general settingsMust have
Nook Color Tools (working on Nook Simple Touch) You can choose your keyboards settings, and under "Settings/Developpment" you can choose your language for the whole system. It also changes your keyboard to your region's one (azerty for me)
to install Nook Color Tools, use a file manager to move the .apk to system/app, then install it
Keyboards
Download the keyboard you're willing to use, with file manager move the file to system/app then install it. Then use Nook Color Tools to choose the Third Party Keyboard you wanna use. (Also possible with the twitter app from whati saw : Long press on text field/choose input method)
I wan't to get a keyboard. Which ones will work, which one are you using ?
( I'm personnaly looking for something like this but this one is bluetooth only

No one has any advice ?
- The latest firmware, with its good dictionary, is best.
- NookManager is the latest and best.
- It's Android 2.1 forever.
- Offline Wikipedia is wonderful.
- for best apps, search the website.

thanks i will edit the thread
I'm waiting for any advice from someone who tested a "norefresh" patch. Which one is the best if there is many and is there any downside ?
I'm also waiting for any others tips you would like to share.

What Wikapedia ap did you use? The ones I have found either did not work with aAndroid 2.1 or required an internet connection.

My opinion may be different than others because I am not a big fan of multi-use devices. I only use my Nook for reading. If you want to do something that needs "norefresh" "fast refresh" or whatever, go buy a tablet.
I have rooted my 1.2.1 Glowlight with NookManager. I have installed YouVersion Bible 2.4.1 and Orion PDF viewer. NookManager installs Button Savior. These are the only apps I really use besides the stock reader.

I agree with you my nook is to be for a restricted use. However this thread is created for any user willing to know what are their options.
In my personnal use. I'm willing to use it for reading : blogs, books, PDF, wikipedia. And maybe for writing (if i find the right keyboard and app)
So its my "knowledge device" output (reading) and input (writing)
If norefresh tweaks have no downsides, It could be better for writing (see the letters showing as fast as they are typed)
That's how i see it.

I use the free Aard Dictionary (aarddict.android.apk). See http://aarddict.org/index.html and http://f-droid.org/wiki/page/aarddict.android.
I use the NST for reading novels with CoolReader, and read bridge (card game) on pdf files with APV PDF Viewer, and Word documents with Mantano Reader. All work very well, but APV has no book-marking, and choosing the best fonts settings for the NST on CoolReader is decidedly tricky. For occasional web browsing, Opera Mobile is fine. For quick notes, I use Color Note Notepad . I also use Dropbox, Titanium Backup and Adfree.
Rooting the NST far exceeded my expectations. I uses it twice as often as I did before rooting, mainly because the stock NST will only read epubs properly.
post updated with overall language tweak for android/keyboard/nookapps (with Nook Color Tools)
