Ok.. got vnc server written by XDA user onaips to work on the NC
Make sure you install Busybox before you run it. IT WILL NOT WORK without it.
If you haven't installed Android Market, go and look the threads and install that.
Search for busybox, download and RUN it to install busybox.
Now in the Market search for "droid vnc server"
download and install onaips app. onaips app checks for busybox & will prompt you if you havent installed it.
I recommend to do a quick reset and run droidVNCserver app. works like a charm
The only drawback is that it shows nook portrait mode in landscape. if you turn it around it works ok... hmmmm.. what gives..
see the thumbnail
Does this let you see the Nook on your desktop? Or your Desktop on your Nook?
To clarify,, this is VNC server for the nook, so that you can access/see your nook from the desktop.
I was able to connect to my nook from Ubuntu but, it acted like it was a view-only VNC session. I was unable to actuate any button-presses, etc.

Same problem here, but I am connecting from a Windows XP.
So rather than install this on my nook, I installed it on my phone, and installed wyse pocket cloud on my nook to log into my phone's screen. This let me connect to my phone so I can manage access control in tethering, as well as send texts and such. This will be really handy.

I haven't been able to get wyse pocketcloud to work on my NC! I'm not sure what the issue is. What method were you using? I was trying to use the google log-in method, which worked for my phone to computer. Being able to access my phone would be interesting for said reasons.

You'll need to have done the following:
Rooted NC - check NookDevs (or here for Win7) for instructions
Modified NC to allow non-market apps - instructions here
Install Astro File Manager on your phone
Install Hoccer (attached) on both your phone and NC
the instructions are simple:
download an app through the android market on your phone
open Astro
Click Menu
Select Tools
Select Application/Backup Manager
Select your app(s) that you want to backup, and click backup
Press Back
Navigate to /sdcard/backups/apps
Long press on an app
Select Share
Select Hoccer
Run Hoccer on NC
Slide the app over to the NC (instructions are in Hoccer)
Accept Install
How does this work I thought that Haccer used Bluetooth to make it work? does it also use wifi if they are on the same network?

You need to be on the same wifi network for this to work.
Pretty awesome. It worked for me. I installed Amazon, kindle, stocks, exchange rate, msn Talk and Xda apps using the hoccer method and all of them work.
I just keep getting your data must be dragged to near by screen even though they're both on the same wifi and right next to each other. I thought Hoccer needed a location signal to work.
Yep. It took a couple of tries to get the sequence right.
On your phone once you hit send from Astro you get the hoccer context menu and clicking that gives you a screen with a grey box at the center. There is a info bar at the top with "transfer time xxx seconds". Now place you nook close by with hoccer running and flip you finger on the nook screen from right end to left. You get a similar grey box on the nook and then the files get transferred. You should see a linking nearby devices or something to that effect when the grey box appears on the nook.
HTH
Works now. That made a lot more sense. Thanks.
I use dropbox instead of Hoccer (on other devices, haven't tried it on NC yet), unless I'm missing some functionality that I didn't see...?
Yea I also just use dropbox
email the apps with Astro
I did the method above with Astro but instead of using hoccer I just emailed the apps to myself with astro and it seems to works fine. Easier than trying to get hoccer to work I think. Only had trouble with one application that started, ran for five seconds then shut down and I got a message saying "unistall app, restart device, then reinstall app using the android market". Anyone else email the apps to themselves? Is there a good reason not to do it this way?
Thanks
Got it now. You actually have to SLIDE it off 1 phone, then SLIDE it ON TO the nook. Works perfect. Nice find
I installed applanet. Seems to have most of the usual apps
From the market. Any reason no one else is using applanet?
You can install and update from their app just like google
market.

Probably because Applanet allows you to pirate paid apps.
Has anyone managed to get this to work with Safari? It's a mild annoyance that when I want to use Kies Air I have to use Firefox instead of my go-to browser (Safari). Does anyone know if there is a simple setting/url change that I can use that will enable Safari to work with it? I'm running on OS X if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
I use Safari. Seems fine to me. What problem are you having?
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://1**.1**.1.6*:****/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “1**.1**.1.6*”.
(no idea if I need to censor that out, thought it would be safer).
Can you try without putting http://? I never entered that, just the number.

No need to censor those are local ips no risks.
It automatically adds the http:// to it after I press enter.
Weird. Is the number you entered is the same on your phone? Well, if you still unable to open I guess you've to use Firefox. Might have to wait some pro to solve it. haha
Yeah, double checked. It's weird that it works on FF. Maybe there's some setting enabled on Safari that's stopping it from working?
If you click on Safari > About Safari, what version are you using? Also, if you go to preferences > Advanced > Proxies > Change settings, do you have any of the options checked? Those are the only things I can think of that might make a difference.
Mine is 5.05.. Only Auto proxy check. Hmm...
all same here. I'm fresh out of ideas!
when you enter the url into your browser, and get the "cant connect" error, try restarting the phone. happened ot me as well and fixed it. same happened with my SG1, used an app called wifi explorer which was also to explore phone files wirelessly and had to just restart my phone after using app for the first time too.
Kies Air - Fix
I had this same problem, watched Kies connect once, but never connected again, kept stalling. Tried Mozilla, Chrome and Explorer, all with the same result. Then I noticed lots of Java icons stacked up in the taskbar, and under closer inspection, lots of instances of java started in the task manager.
Turns out the problem is the Java cache on your PC, it doesn't clear after you drop the connection, and prevents further re-connection attempts. Uninstall the Java on your PC and it all works fine. Not sure what you need to do if Java is essential to you.
Turns out the problem is specific to Java 6.24 and if you roll back to 6.23 it will be working again
I have a NT rooted and setup to disable automatic downloads from BN following directions on this forum. Everythings been working pretty good but I would still like to purchase things from BN occasionally.
I then went out to the Android marketplace and downloaded Nook for Android, installed it and I can see it in my list of apps.
When I click on the icon for it though, all it does it take me back to the main page of my launcher.
Has anyone else had these issues?
Sounds like a bad install to me. I am rooted with zergy and have minor debloat, opting to keep all of the B&N stuff as I still buy books often. Which root method did you use? I also have the nook app on my phone with a few books in my dropbox. It works fine on that as well. Perhaps try clearing cache and data from the app and try signing in again?
I know there have been other threads on this, and I don't recall anyone getting it to work. I believe B&N has done something either to the app or to Android to prevent it from running.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I had the same outcome after rooting. I suspect and accepted that it was most likely due to opting for a full B&N debloat.
Right, I did do a full debloat also.
If BN would let me just get the ebook, even to my computer, I suppose maybe I could transfer it over to the nook that way but I haven't tried it.
Thanks!

Calibre is a resource to assist in that. I find it a great library manager and it will act as a WiFi server to your Nook through the Calibre Library app
I'm unclear whether this post is about the nook software already baked into the device, or the "Nook for Android by B&N" available to download on the Market.
When you say "Nook for Android" I assume you mean the latter.
It's strange that the app will not even launch. I'm not sure how it differs from any other android app. The app works fine on my Droid and Droid charge, but won't download certain magazines saying they're unavailable on the app, when they clearly work just fine on the software baked into the Nook Tablet.
Perhaps after someone gets Cyanogenmod stable on the device we will see whether or not there was something baked in that specifically blocked the "Nook for Android" app in the Market.
I was referring to the B&N Nook app from Android market. MOst of the other B&N preloaded apps also stopped working after debloat too
As ckevinwelch mentioned there have been numerous posts about this - including one by me. What I did instead was find the reader.apk, shop.apk and library.apk apps in an old back-up of Ti-Backup I had and installed those after doing a full debloat using indirect's root. Have had no problems since then.... (I've re-rooted a couple of times to take advantage of updates, etc).
edit... I mispoke, it appears that after I did the freeze OTA block (9.9.9) recently, it now shows as unavailable under owner/account in settings, I don't have access to the B&N shop, but my old books are still on my NT and I can read them. It did work when I was listed under owner/account.
Sorry to get your hopes up.
~ G
If you did the debloat PRIOR to installing and backing up using TI-backup, is there some other place to find and reinstall these apps?
You can get them from the acclaim update zip file (for the magic restore card).
So did you decide not to sell yours?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
TX Kevin, and no, didn't change my mind but the buyer flaked on me. So, still trying to make it worthwhile keeping if it ends up that way.
Does acclaim file require me to reroot? hate the idea of that...
Don't restore from the zip, just pull them out, move them to system/app and install.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
of course none of these will actually do much until I reregister the device under my B&N account, correct? Presently, they run but don't access anything.
Speaking of...is there a way to reregister without rerooting?

I did not do a full debloat and only removed games but I have the same problem and cannot use some of the originally installed B&N apps. I think it is something I have to accept since I rooted the device. I did not install the Nook for Android app.
OK - Did a test last night w/ the following results:
After backing up all my apps and go launcher settings, and using Indirect's unroot app and Indirect's root method I rooted once each using option 5 debloat and option 1 debloat. Both times I registered my NT when the initial welcome screens started.
- With option 5 debloat and OTA block I did not have access to the B&N Shop/Library and couldn't purchase new books. I could re-install the library & reader apps from my back-up and my old stuff was there but no access to buy/download new stuff. Device Info/About Your Nook showed Unavailable for Owner/Account.
- With option 1 debloat and OTA block I do have access to the B&N Shop/Library and was able to purchase and download a new book. Device Info/About Your Nook showed my name and e-mail for Owner/Account.
I find it takes about 45 - 60 min. to completely unroot, reroot and reinstall my apps from back-up (after installing Ti-Backup from the market). Since your computer has already been set-up w/ the drivers to root when you did your intitial root - just start the reroot process w/ the NookandZergy.bat that you have in your c:\ntroot folder.

I know of the wifi share apps on android where you are giving an ip address to go to
but on webos it just makes the hdd shared so you can go to network on windows and see it there. is there an android app that does this too?
Yes there many apps in androis too.
Try to search on play store
one I know is AirDroid.
I have looked for this before as well. I only found apps that went through a web browser. I use to use the webOS app for my Pre Plus and it worked great. It simply transfered the app like a bluetooth file transfer would. Ahh, I miss that. lol

samba
i think you want samba from the play store. there are probably others, but thats what i use
OOO thanks, samba was what I was looking for, too bad I can't use it without username/password but still good
no no no no no. the king of all file explorer apps is by far esfile explorer. there isnt anything that it wont do. share files or stream video right from within the app. over wifi, over bluetooth, has support for all the top cloud storage like dropbox, box.com, skydrive, ubuntu1 gdrive, you name it. it also features ftp functionality, you can set your android device up as an ftp server or you can browse files from a different ftp server. it has built in settings for playing video browsing and editing pictures editing text files i mean the list goes on. a must have for sure. 5+ stars. oh and yes it supports you can set the login settings for each remote device that youre connecting to or set special logins for specific shares that you want to serve up. enough said it wins.

I've did a trick with my laptop in order to get it working. I've installed SparkoCam for Windows to use my screen as webcam and marked the qr code from the Whatsapp for Windows app (it's the same as Whatsapp Web, but with native Windows notifications). Now, with an Android Emulator, I've launched Whatsapp and touched the Whatsapp Web button. Since every Android Emulator uses your webcam as the main camera, and my webcam was switched to my desktop screen where the QR code was, the app automatically detected it and WP Web started. Now, as long as I have the emulator running in background, I can enjoy Whatsapp in my pc without camera, without phone and it uses native Windows notifications too!

whhich emulator did you use
NOX app player is a really good android emulator. Its fast and you can hide it directly from your screen with STRG+ALT+X, then it isnt anymore shown in taskbar or desktop. Its a reaaaalyyyy good app player/android emulator!
it would be great if you just did not have to keep the emulator open.
maybe get another phone from a friend, install whatsapp in a phone with working camera, open whatsap web, then take your sim back to your phone. Have not tried it, but just maybe works
