Rooting a nook

Submitted by rac on 19 February, 2010 - 19:11.

I got my nook last Friday and now I had some time to root it ;-)
Thanx to the people at there was not much to do.
They have a very good howto in their wiki at http://nookdevs.com/Softroot that I used.

I hope I can return something to the community with a cool app for the nook but I need an idea...
Please comment to this post if you have an app idea that could be useful for the nook.

Download mirrors

I mirrored the two update files on uploaded.to because it took me a long time to download from the original mirrors:
signed_bravo_update.1.0.0.dat => http://ul.to/fopfnt
bravo_update.dat => http://ul.to/mbvktv

This is a Project stub that will be filled with information as the Project idea grows and work on this project starts.

A friend asked me if I could make him a picture frame but not a common one... he wants a big one with a big LCD > 17" and less energy consumption (not just a laptop conversion).

Idea

I talked with someone from TI at the LinuxTag about it and he did think that the beagle board could be a possibility for doing this.

Navigation Hack has been updated

Submitted by rac on 13 December, 2009 - 18:18.

Brut.all fixed an issue that certain people discovered and this should help the people that had force closes while starting the navigation.

 For root users: http://s.2030.tk/gmapnavroot

 For normal users: http://s.2030.tk/gmapnav

If you need the commands how to install the root version see my previous blog post.

New Maps Navigation hack

Submitted by rac on 12 December, 2009 - 14:25.

For all the people that don't live in the US but want Navigation on their Android device...

Brut.all did it again ;-) and he has my respect for this, if you want to buy him a beer like I did just click here

As you may have discovered, Google has changed the way to get Navigation data on the server side, this means that the prior hack with the Navigation Flag isn't working anymore because they implemented now server side security (instead of just security by obscurity on the client side).

The new hack doesn't work the same way, instead it is the original proxy idea but done inside the app so no need for a special proxy.

How do you install the new Maps?

Thats very easy, just download the version you want to install

 For root users: http://ul.to/ol9h9t

 For normal users: http://ul.to/368xcu

Normal users will have two maps applications like with the old hack.

Advertisings with AdMob

Submitted by rac on 5 December, 2009 - 00:35.

I included AdMob ads in the latest 2 releases of MarketEnabler and it's running now since 27.11.09 so I can't say that much about Advertising with AdMob.
If you don't now what MarketEnabler is, see http://market-enabler.googlecode.com
Until now, I'm not very pleased with the ads from AdMob for various reasons:

The revenues are not very clear, I don't know exactly how they come together (I think this is on most ad providers)
