Does anyone know if there was a change in how custom keyboards work on rooted NST with the 1.2.1 firmware? I have a program that used a custom keyboard that worked with a rooted 1.1.0 firmware but the keyboard is gone in the 1.2.1 firmware. Nothing else changed. Rooted with NookManager (awesome BTW) on both 1.1.0 and 1.2.1.
Some progress - looks like B&N removed the default android "Phone" keyboard in 1.2.1.
Does anyone know where in the file system the default keyboards live (stock)?

Just installed OTA gingerbread and now I can't use the keyboard for messages/emails, when I tap into an input text box, nothing happens. Long press brings up a little bar (used to have icons for selecting text etc but now its empty)
Android version 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1, baseband 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2, kernel 2.6.35.10-g0956377, build 2.36.405.8 CL47853, software 2.36.405.8
Any body else had this? Any ideas?
OK now - uninstalled swype and adw launcher and after 4th reboot keyboard came back
both reinstalled and keyboard is still OK
In fact I had the same problem, and you don't need to uninstall swype in the end, just click 'Generate Lisense' and follow the steps there.
I couldn't get my stock keyboard to work when I got to the step where I had to type in my username and password, then I realised the installer has actually frozen, so I force closed it and reopen it to type things in. Done.
I've had a similar issue before. Just download the gingerbread keyboard.apk and reinstall it.
I think this is likely an issue with swype considering your license to be duplicated after the update, and blocking the use of it (the identifier for your license is probably tied to the software version you are on).
I have approximately same issue with my HTC Desire S after I updated it to 2.3.5
The phone is new, not rooted (untouched)
please help me to fix it :-(

I assume you've tried all the above suggestions, including installing gb keyboard from market and they've failed?

Ok, so I was running Dalingrin's most recent build, and installed the OC kernel, and all was well. However, I wanted to use LauncherPro and it kept giving me issues, so I went back to Phiremod 6.3.
I went to install the OC kernel for CM7, not realizing that it was not compatible with Phiremod 6.3. (I figured they were both built on CM7, so it would work. Not so, apparently.) When I restarted, I got a black screen, and holding the N+Power buttons while booting didn't work.
So, I found a thread on XDA to fix my recovery, and I was able to restore my backup.
However, now i cannot add standard widgets or shortcuts (using the menu, long press on the app page works) to Launcher Pro, and any time I try to change something on the dock, I get a force close. I tried fixing permissions, and still no dice. No problems with Launcher Pro widgets or wallpapers. Also, the icon for some apps changed to the stock Market icon, and would not load, but a reinstall of those apps solved the problem.
Short version - Restored a backup after a botched kernel install, now Launcher Pro won't let me install widgets or shortcuts, or change items on the dock.
EDIT: Nevermind. Reinstalled Phiremod through ROM manager and it works fine now. Forgot about that option sooner.
Well, I did it.
Unrooted my nook (turned off, turned on pressing both lower side buttons, cleared everything, logged in, deregistered, logged in again), installed update (went fine) and rerooted (using touchnooter 1.6.24).
Launcher is working, button saviour too, but I can't get market to download anything at all... I wanted to use astro file manager to sideload a newer version of the market, but no success at all. But wifi is working fine with standard browser. I'll try to adb the market apk later...
And the Serial Number for my nook went to 00000000000!
I hope I can get myself out of this mess.
Updaters beware!
Thanks for sharing! hmmm, definitely sounds like it brings more issues than it solves so far...
Well, SN is back again, but still nothing on market.
Is there a way to do the touchnooter with the newer version of the market?
And maybe include the ad-hoc hack would be good!
Update is OK
Hi, I updated my Nook Touch twice due to some glitches when I did a backup. I don't have any problem at all. Everything is fine, including market.
I am a total beginner and i just rooted my NST. Everything went fine I guess but I cant use Opera mini or the browser and I cant install any apps from the amazon app store. So i attempted to restore it back to how it was. I did everything right but the root is still there and all it did was revert my NST to version 1.0. Can anyone explain how to remove the root?
Just use this:

Your NST will revert back to stock (root and all apps erased), and be updated to 1.1.
I can't connect to wifi any more -- simply endless unsuccessful attempts (while standing next to the wifi hub). It used to sometimes take a few goes to connect, but it's now given up entirely. I have a rooted 1.1.0.
Has anyone come across this issue, and know of a fix other than updating the firmware? (I see 1.1.0 might have "wifi issues").
I've heard that 1.1.2 might have fixed the wifi issues -- and I can get it here http://topdownloads.ru/archives/file/nook_1_1_2_update/7152798.htm
Alternatively I could go all the way on up to 1.2.1, I see, but then my root method would be NookManager rather than TouchNooter -- so I have to install GApps myself via adb? Ah or see if I can get everything I want via the Amazon app store? Is there any advantage to the later firmware, or should I grab 1.1.2 and do it the way I'm familiar with?
Also, how do I do a firmware update on a rooted nook? Do I have to go all the way to factory reset, or can I hang onto my apps and their settings some nice way? (Sorry if there are instructions for this somewhere, I can only find "get the right firmware first" instructions).
Thanks
I can't advise you on whether a particular firmware will help your wifi issues but if you go with 1.1.2 get it straight from Barnes and Noble: http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/n...XTLrBeYy5CHbHS264o9Ujsh/nook_1_1_2_update.zip
I'll be posting an addon to NookManager tonight or tomorrow for installing gapps if you want to go 1.2.1. It best not to try to install gapps via adb as there are firmware and system file patches that are required to get it working that are better done with the system booted off a NookManager or other root installer microSD card.
If you are changing firmware it is best to go back to stock and reroot. But you don't need to lose everything either. Install Titanium Backup and backup all your apps first. Then go back to factory, upgrade your firmware, reroot and install gapps. Then install Titanium Backup and restore all your apps. You won't lose settings in your apps that way.
Great -- I'll have to leave it till next weekend by now anyway, so I'll give 1.2.1 a go having saved all my stuff.
I just posted my addon for NookManager to install Google Apps. The thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086582 Hope you find it helpful.
