has anyone else found this screen and what to do with it, other than the obvious usb tabs. i having trouble with screen shot but if you tap the left bottom corner of the screen, the notifications window will come up, as you push in the usb cable to charge, this will expand and give you the standard usb notfication. if you press this notification, a settings screen will appear, evev after removal of usb cable.
hopefully screen shots will appear.
Wow I had no idea lol
Ok so if you install anycut you can make a direct link to the development settings so no need to play with a usb cable.
That token setting looks interesting but it just closes to home ill have to play with logcat later
anycut gives a lot of very interesting options... but though I made shortcuts I can't see them in any of my launchers. I have Launcher Pro, the Nook standard one and Zeam. No default... i rather like the options.
But some of the options given by Anycut are keyboard settings and CDMA/GPRS/Network settings.
Wow, has anyone tried that on a non-rooted nook?
That's the main difference to Anycut... of course we can get to these settings once we have rooted. But if this screen can be accessed via a standard nook, that hasn't been "nootered", we can just enable adb there. Whether adb then has root access (as with nooter) I don't know, but still it's a new and easier angle at getting access to the device.
I got it to show up this way:
(0. no USB connected)
1. press the left bottom corner ... this will show you the original android notification bar as popup
2. connect USB cable (to PC and device)
3. you usually can't do anything because of the USB-Mode popup, but since the notification bar has focus we can touch the icon that now appears there.
-> remove cable and you are on the screen shown in OP's post.

I just tried this on my un-rooted nook, and wasn't able to get the screen to appear.
The USB dialog he's referring to should only appear if you're rooted and ADB is enabled.
This potentially means, however, that the rest of the settings aren't actually removed from the nook, just hidden, and that there should be a way to access them somehow.
Ohhhh that would be nice..

Several options will be more functional if you harvest the "extra" apps installed on the nookcolor emulator that ships as part of the SDK.
Also, if you're curious about how to toggle this setting without the UI,
have a look at /data/property/persist.service.mount.umsauto
How do you actually get the card to mount in the future if you disable auto mounting of it?

The Nook is the perfect size for a secondary display for a laptop or desktop pc.
This method creates a virtual display that TeamViewer can attach to and control.
I'm going to use TeamViewer (for simplicity's sake) but you can use VNC if you want also. I am making this guide assuming you are using Windows 7.
Software you will need:
Mirage Virtual Display Driver
TeamViewer for PC and Android
PC
Install both Mirage and TeamViewer. If either of them ask for a restart, then restart.
Right-click on your desktop and choose 'Screen Resolution'.
Click the 'Detect' button.
In the 'Display' drop-down list you should see your virtual display as 'Display device on: VGA'. Select that.
Under 'Multiple Displays' drop-down, choose 'Extend desktop to this display' and click 'Apply'
Under the 'Resolution' drop-down, choose 1024x600 and then click 'OK'.
For 'Orientation' choose either 'Landscape' or 'Portrait' to suit your needs.
To setup TeamViewer follow the steps in this PDF.
NOOK
Install TeamViewer on your NC using the standard or easy (drag-drop-open with file manager) methods.
Launch Teamviewer.
Type your pc's ID and password you setup from the PDF and click 'Connect to Partner'.
After a few moments you should establish a connection. If you get a help screen on connection press close.
On the toolbar on the bottom click on the gear icon. (You may have to click towards the top of the icon, at least on my NC that's how it is)
Under 'Session settings' tap the 'Monitor' pulldown and choose 'Monitor 2'. (It was #2 on my setup yours may be different)
Under 'Quality' I left mine on 'Automatic'.
The 'Back' button wasn't working on mine so just tap your Nook's back button.
That should do it. Now you can drag Twitter, Pandora, Winamp to your NC, add some widgets like cpu usage, or whatever.
Notes:
On my setup when I tried to add th NC as my third screen, Windows wouldn't allow it. I'm sure it has to do with my video card or something.
If you want a cleaner picture try 'Optimize quality' under 'Quality'. Likewise, if you want smoother transitions choose 'Optimize Speed'.
This isn't a hack or anything special but I thought some might be interested.
Thanks for sharing this is completely awesome
Thanks. Nice idea. I rebooted but still only have RCA under display.

RCA, I am assuming, is your main display?
Go to device manager and see if you have 'Mirage Driver' under 'Display Adapters'
If it shows up in device manager try clicking "Detect" when you are in the 'Screen Resolution' window.
The Detect button fixed it. Looks good. Thanks again.
I to be mr 20 questions ( ) but I clicked show remote cursor on the settings, but it only updates the cursor when you click the mouse. Anyway to update it in real time? I also have it on optimize speed.
Cute hack, but I can't imagine anyone doing this on purpose.

There is an option that sets it to view the remote mouse.
This works well when my laptop isn't plugged into my actual monitor but it never gives me the option to select a third monitor. May be helpful at work though, thanks!
Might give this a try just for fun. What I'm really interested in is the opposite. Getting the nook screen on the pc (or projector).

I'd do this on purpose for when I'm not using my NC for other stuff.
I can't get it to show in the drop down box after i hit detect. I'm on Win 7 64bit It is in device manager.
iDisplay now Available for Android
This is a program that is designed to work as a second display instead of being a hack job.
any idea if idisplay (or any other method) will work as a third screen?
Yes, it works with multiple screens.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up.
Tried it out, I'm now using iDisplay as a 3rd monitor and with works great. Thanks!
I've tried this on both my home computer and my work computer. Both run Windows 7 x32. The Mirage Driver shows up under Displays in device manager, but when I click the Detect button, all I see is my primary monitor. Any suggestions?

You managed to install it on your nook? I just get "this item is not compatible with your device"
Thanks a lot for posting about this, I tried it and here's a few notes:
-I couldn't get Mirage Virtual Display Driver to really work, it would install but it wouldn't appear when I went to add another display. I ended up not using it at all (see below).
-I was able to add an extra display with my nVidia video card. Basically, I did the following:
--I used the NVIDIA Control Panel to create a 1024x600 60hz custom resolution
--I went to Windows 7's Screen Resolution thing, clicked Detect, clicked on "Another display not detected", clicked "Try to connect anyway on: VGA", clicked Apply, and from there it was simple to choose the 1024x600 resolution and extend my display onto it.
-It was difficult for me to use the other display.
--For one, the refresh rate was quite choppy (even with optimizing for speed enabled), so I would keep overshooting the cursor, moving it back, waiting to see if I was in the right place, and if not, trying to move a bit less in the opposite direction again (sort of like an annoying "Binary Search" hehe).
---I have to wonder if getting the NC to use LAN over USB would improve performance. There's a lot more throughput to be had over USB than WiFi. Any ideas on how to do that?
--For two, and the most annoying part, was that the bottom bar for Teamviewer on my NC took up a lot of screen space. If I maximized a window, I couldn't see the bottom part of it because of the bar.
---I wonder if finding out the exact height of the bar, and subtracting that from the custom resolution, will make a display that floats on top of the bar when viewed in Teamviewer?
For the record, I'm running a rooted NC with the stock rom (no CM7 or anything custom), my PC is running Windows 7 6bit, dunno if any other details matter.
Since this works over WiFi, I'd imagine iDisplay would perform similarly, so I think until they get it to work over USB, I won't buy it (I emailed them a while ago and asked if you established a LAN connection over USB if it would work, and they said no).
Just tried iDisplay and it worked for me, thanks alot!
Don't know how useful it's going to be, but at least it gets bragging rights
I want to find out if anybody have any fix for this:
I have the full HDMI dock (with 3 full size USB ports) and I use it a lot... it’s very convenient, here’s my setup;
I’m using a KVM cable to switch between my RAZR and my pc using the same keyboard and mouse.
I just update to ICS from GB, before the update the mouse settings was perfect, while the phone is on the dock the right button of the mouse was set to “return or go back a screen”; the left button was for “make any selection” and the scroll button would activate a “menu” on any screen.
After the update (GB to ICS) the scroll button does not work and the right and left buttons is set to “selection”.
So I just want to find out if there’s a “settings” for the mouse or if any developer car modify this settings.
Thanks a lot
This won't help you at all with your question, but my keyboard and mouse worked exactly the same after the update.
My problem is that i no longer has the Firefox that came on the hd station.
Do you still have the hd station's Firefox available after your ics update?

I'm sorry that I can't help either. If you dont' mind, please explain the setup in noob speak and I will try it. I have the HD Station, so what else would I need to make this work?
I did not find the option to disable or turn off the webtop...
but to avoid problems, I disabled on tv and then removed hdmi cable in razr

It is not needed to disable web top. Apps have their 'saved state' if they are in the background. If you want to be safe just go to your home screen before disconnecting the cable. That's all . Oh, and if you're even more paranoid you could just switch to the task killer and swipe all the app cards away.
I just got the dock and CAN NOT STAND the tap to click. The first thing I do when using a laptop is turn that off and I dont happen to see an option on the TF, does anyone know if this can be done? Thanks
Ive read you can only turn off the touchpad completely, supposedly from settings, but I can't find it: confused:

haha, thx, never use any of those hotkeys
Nice thing about the option to turn it off, means that you can use a wireless mouse w/ the keyboard dock & it will recognize it as an input device. Right now I'm using the Logitech Anywhere MX Mouse instead of the touch pad.
