Can I add ONLY files to my nook color to add a new TTS Voice? I do not want to install a app as this would involve rooting.

No, you have to have an app. If you haven't rooted/flashed your nook yet then why not? Any system-level (ie: TTS) change requires root. You could dual-boot your NookColor if you want full android and to make changes without rooting or voiding your warranty. Leapinlar has a how-to thread about that.

So i have been trying to get the NOOK app to run on my NC that is rooted stock 1.2 and I'm failing miserably. When i try to download and install from the market, i receive and error that says "Duplicate provider authority". I then tried to side-load the older version in the Themes and Apps section here on xda, and after setting permissions, when i select the app in my app drawer, it just takes me to the home screen.
Any suggestions???
Erm, why do you want to use the generic Nook app if you're using rooted stock, instead of the Nook app (which imo is soooo much better anyway) that comes with rooted stock?
Because I have an original Nook that I use and I'd like for them to be synced up (if possible).
Strange, I wasn't aware that it was app specific. I had the nook app on my SD install when I was dual booting, and my book list was the same for both native and CM7 clients --- though if I bought a book on one the other would have a download link to it when I next opened it.
You cannot have the stock app and the Android app on the same device unless you are booting another o/s such as CM7 from an SD card. That is why you are getting the duplicate error.

Makes sense. Is it as simple as removing the stock app? If so, do you happen to know the apk name?
If you don't mind, can you explain the sync issue with the Nook + Nook Color? I'm not understanding why there's a problem with syncing with the *native* nook app versus the android market one with the native one on your Nook...
(Hope that makes sense)

Frankly, I am at a loss as to why you would want to remove the stock apk from the stock ROM. Most people root the stock ROM specifically because they want to retain the stock reader app, which has more features than the Android app.
I am also not sure it is that simple because a rooted stock ROM still shows up to B&N as a registered Nook Color, not an Android device.

He has both of them running under the same o/s (stock) on the same device and B&N sees that as a conflict.

I know that. I don't understand why he isn't just using the native reader app instead of trying to install the nook app when running stock. I don't have a Nook (non color) so I'm trying to find out what sync issue he has with books if you have a Nook and a Nook Color on the same account (book list).

For whatever reason, the stock app on my NC is not syncing with my original Nook even though they are under the same account. I thought the Nook app from the market would potentially solve that, but maybe there's some other underlying issue with the stock app on the NC.
Hey all! I have a looked far and wide for an answer to this and only hit dead ends. I was wondering what system/app apks are okay to trash after you are rooted. I am currently rooted with the lastet MoDoCo Rom with Go Launcher and I have been tinkering around with some of the preinstalled apps. I deleted things like the live wallpapers, pulse, IMDb, and a few others with no issue. Have you guys found any others that can be removed safely to free up our precious application storage?
Thank you all!
It might be easier if you list the apps you want to remove and ask if its safe to remove them.

Well my plan was to make this a reference post and people can post what they've removed successfully.

My friend tried to do this and I cant remember which app he removed but it bricked his fire pretty bad, and he had to have someone unbrick it using adb commands. Im sure you know to have a backup
Hello - I rooted and installed CM on my nook. I tried to download the Nook App from the Playstore, it says the app isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas?

If you search the CM10.1 threads there is a lot about this issue and its solution.

Easiest way I found was going here - http://mobile.brothersoft.com/nook-79949.html - to download the latest apk, and sideloading it on the Nook. You may find that some magazines will no longer work in the Nook app though, nothing you can do about that (I had to use Google Play Magazines instead).

No, look in verygreen's threads, he has said it is B&N blacklisting the nook app for ovation and hummingbird devices. So you can change your build.prop file or sideload it.

Its not an incompatibility issue, Edit your build.prop its easy to do, there is a description on here (XDA) somewhere if you search for it, on how to do it.
I just got a Canadian Galaxy S4, I've already rooted, installed custom recovory, installed Titanium Backup and removed a bunch of other useless crap.
I'd like to remove Hangouts but I remeber from the I had my Galaxy S and S2 it would mess the phone up if I removed Google Talk. I know Hangouts replaced Talk so can I safely remove this?
I've never had problems removing it. Back it up first. If it causes issues, restore it.

Anyone know how to revert to Google Talk? Is it as simple as reflashing 20130301 gapps?

Hmmm, I tried installing as a regular apk and it didn't work. I'll try doing it manually. Thanks!
Hi all. I am sick of the likes of google etc taking liberties with my privacy, so I was wondering if it would be possible to create a ROM without google being able to access anything and everything on my phone?

It's called... CM without GAPPS or MIUI.
I use MIUI as it's independent from Google. Yes it's got Chinese stuff but the good thing is no Chinese stuff work out of China so you are all covered. Or use AppOpps

Thanks for the quick reply. So using CM without gapps, and google (or anyone else for that matter) will not have access to my phone?
Are all custom ROM's independent from google, or just CM and MIUI? I thought almost all custom ROM'S are created from AOSP, which google makes available. Surely they can still spy on you using ASOP, because it is google's software?

android is made by Google.. also u can't escape Google in todays age..
the most u can do is not flash gapps ,other than going for other OS..
many custom roms do not include gapps with them..u can check the rom before downloading it...

If you want privacy, don't use a smartphone.
You might be able to get rid of most (not all without breaking rom functionality) of the Google stuff, but what about apps from other companies/developers ? What about Samsung ? Use AppOps/similar (or App Settings if your rom allows you to use Xposed) to set/limit individual app permissions.
