This is no longer needed. The new Netflix app works with no issues or fixes. Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178312
7/17/11
Removed the USB Mounter feature; See Nook Color Tweaks.
Added support for different Nook Color setups. Emmc, Sdcard, ManualNooter
Put it on the market
7/4/11
Ad Blocker
USB Mounter - Mounts to /sdcard/USB. You must turn on USB host mode and have the device plugged in before using this utility. This will work even if you changed vold.fstab.
Failsafes - /system must be mounted to /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 for the emmc options to work or /system must be mounted to /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 for the sdcard options to work.
***********************************************
This is an app that will update your /system/build.prop file. It changes ro.product.manufacturer=bn to ro.product.manufacturer=HTC. It will also allow you to change it back. You must reboot for the change to take effect. This was designed for CM7. If it works for other devices or OSes, please post.
For SDCard users, DrSarcasmo has found a solution to get this to work. Update busybox. Here is his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15052326&postcount=77
I added another app to this thread call "Nook Odds and Ends". It has a Netflix fix and Ad Blocker. There are eMMC and SDcard options. Some SDcard users are still having problems. Report any issues so we can this working for everyone.
PS: I fixed the Exit option and added the chmod command for the SDCard option.

Thank you very much, the community needed this.
Simple and easy, worked just dandy last night on Nightly 97, thanks!

Anywho, yeah, I was editing bulid.prop with vi in a terminal, so this is much nicer. I was really close to just writing a shell script with sed in it but hadn't gotten around to it yet.
So now my upgrade process..
Install new nightly, boot it and let it boot up and make sure it's happy
Copy adblock hosts file to /system/etc
Run NetFlix Fix
Boot into CWM
Flash latest OC kernel
Profit
Great minds think alike. This is just a sed script wrapped in an apk.

The hosts file posted should work, for some reason the AdFree in the market doesn't work in CM7 on the NC, not sure exactly why, but yeah that'd be awesome if you could do like if -e ( "/sdcard/hosts.txt" ); then magic.
Will this work for CM7 running of SD card? Or only off emmc?
I use verygreen's SD card installer if it matters.
Oh and I second the hosts file since adfree won't work on (at least SD card versions) of CM7.
Much appreciated.
wonder if this works for 1.1 auto noot?
Thank you for this app.
While I had no problem using root explorer to edit the file, it is/was a little pain in the ass to do it nightly. Your contribution is appreciated.

Netflix Help
I'm running the latest Phiremod from EMMC and I've been unable to get Netflix to do much of anything other than tell me to check my network connection.
If anyone can tell me which ROM to run and which netflix apk to install with it so it will work that would be really appreciated, I've tried the fix file as well as manually editing the build.prop file
just have no clue why it isn't working for me
thank you very much in advance for any assistance you could provide.

CHEERS
Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.
Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.
Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
Also--
There are now 2 downloads.
One will reboot your phone automatically
One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)
Installation
Code:
Download the attached .zip file
Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard
Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard
Code:
Open Gscript
Press menu and select Add Script
Press Load File button
Select Normal_Froyo file
Press Save button at bottom
Repeat for Modded_Froyo file
After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.
Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps
Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop
You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish
-----------------------------------------------
I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.
I'm going for an app instead.
P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.
------------------------------------------------
fixed no buildprop folder
added NON-autoreboot download.
buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE
When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.
Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?
OR
Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.
Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.
I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.
Any ideas?
This worked great for me I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.
Dandy!!
tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.
Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys
to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys
I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.
I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.
PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this
Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.
If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!
If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this
Code:
adb remount
adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop
adb reboot
I hope to have this fixed quickly.
ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!
Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD
that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.
If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.
So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Nope they're not on SD. I'll try the fc of launcher.
Ok it worked thank you! but my xiia widget still is not back and I'm assuming others. Anything I can do for the widgets?
Ok installed and reinstated the app. Works great thx again.
Update:
Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...
Any educated opinion on the issue is appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Problem: Netflix app has chipmunk problem. Video & sound are accelerated.
System: CM7 nightly 98 (uSD), dalingrin's OC kernel 06/13, Nook Tweaks, Netflix app: 1.2.2
Solutions applied: Nook Netflix Fixer, also tried downgrading the kernel to an older version, but to no avail.
It could be that you accidentally denied the "Netflix Fixer" superuser rights, open your superuser and make sure it isn't blacklisted.
Check your build.prop manually and make sure the fix has taken place...

I missed the part about you running off an sd card, check your build.prop, you may need to make the change yourself. Use a program like Root Explorer or Sufbs or ADB...
make this change:
ro.product.manufacturer=bn to ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Ah, thanks again. Just purchased Root Explorer, went in enabling R/W rights and edited the build.prop as a text file. But even after hitting Save and Exit, new changes would not stick. No wonder the Fixer app did not work.
Any ideas, guys? This machine is not ADB-enabled, so hoping to fix the issue directly in Nook.
Save the modded build.prop somewhere on your sd card first and then use Root Explorer to copy and paste it over the old one, then check if the changes stuck, reboot, ??????, profit.
edit: just remembered that you are running off your sd card in the first place, what I mean when I say "Save the modded build.prop somewhere on your sd card first" I mean save it somewhere that doesnt require SU permissions on your sd card...

I'm having the same problem. Well, sort of. When I edit the build.prop file the changes do stick but it just doesn't change my chipmunk problem. I have a similar set up as well.

Hi all, i tried really hard to run link2sd on a stock firmware (no custom roms, kernels, etc)
and i found a "solution" for it...
Thanks to: neo1234matrix
If you already got link2sd working in froyo, then you need to do this "one time only":
1. Install script manager from market
2. run the script manager...
3. go to: menu>more>advance options> config > select browse as root
4. give the root permission to it...
5. now click the file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
6. select "run as root" and "run at boot"
7. save it and reboot your phone
8. after reboot, start Link2sd... you are done....
After all of this, you can use link2sd without doing anything else
Important! :
Every time you reboot your phone (turn off and turn on) you will notice that all the linked apps disappear from your home screens, app drawer, installed apps lists, etc as if they weren't installed, but dont worry.
Start link2sd and click menu button>more>quickreboot and all the "missing apps" are going to be available again for all your needs!
Maybe someone can figure out an easier way, real solution or something?

Tested on S5830LUBKP8 and works.. but... the quick reboot its a bad thing..
maybe someone can do a better thing. =D
well.. THANK YOU!..
i know whats the problem... this new firmware includes # (deactivates the mounting script at boot)
in the new firmwares (at least the one i have, but i believe its on all the official firmwares):
in the init.rc file there is this line:
#service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#oneshot
in froyo that line was:
service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
oneshot
i already editing init.rc with root explorer (text editor) to delete the #, but when i restart (normal) the phone, it rewrites the old init.rc with the # included
if we could edit and keep the init.rc file without the # in those lines, link2sd will work as good as froyo without scriptmanagers or quickrebots
maybe someone can help me out?
just some (useless?) info.
In my phone its says in init.rc file:
#service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#oneshot
Dont know why it not say autoshot
ups, my bad, it is oneshot, i wasn't viewing the phone screen while typing this on the pc
i like link2sd.. would be cool of theres some permanent solution for this..
anyways thanx for the temp solution.. atleast now we know link2sd works on gingerbread..
Did not work for s5660 Samsung Galaxy gio with 2.3.3 stock rom
any other solution?

you can modify the file, but when the phone turns off- turn on, it will generate a new file (from boot.img)... the only way to get it right should be decompiling boot.img and editing that file and compile boot.img
but thats risky

[CM7][GB] Soft-mod RibbonICS ROM by veronica, but still no change.
In the storage settings i've tried to mount the
Additional storage/mnt/sdcard/_internalSD but doesen't work and thats probably also just the folder I created myself as instructed in the soft-mod.
So yeah I'm wondering if I can only use the extended media part in stock rooted B&N or if its got to do with the problems I had with the process. Or mayb I just need to mount the media drive somewhere?
Please help
Went into adb-shell in CWM and checked via the p command if the media drive was there which is was
(looked like this: 10 1611MB 11.6GB 9989MB fat32 media msftres)...so it really should work.....shouldn't it?
Edit: actually the above is not entirely correct: I have found my media partition in the file browser now but its just not really accessible it seems. Is it just not mounted or what?
Included in the soft-mod for cm7 is also an application called multi-mount sd lite which should help with this but it force-closes on me even after i fix permissions need help with this..
nook tablet cm7 can not access internall sd
Hi
I loaded cm7 onto my nook tablet 16g internal SD using your latest Zip and it worked like a charm. Thank everybody.
only problem I have is that I can't access the internal SD from my windows computer. It accesses the external one fine but not the internal one.
can download app into internal via web and brows around it.
It doesn't seem to be mounted for external USB access.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks Martyn
There's a typo in two lines of the build.prop. Described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540272&referrerid=4611244
But the link to the corrected build.prop there doesn't work! There's a good link further down the thread...but I attached mine here if you want to use it.
Just download to the root of your removable sdcard and install it from CWM. Or extract it and copy it to /system with your favorite file explorer to overwrite the "typo" version.
EDIT: by "mine" I mean my copy of Celtic's.
OOPS!
Sorry. My reply above was to kingtechmartyn, not the OP domiel...didn't mean to hijack the thread.
Very sorry.

Just remember when changing build.prop to always make a backup of the original so if you want to revert you can.

I don't know if its specific to root explorer or not, but whenever I modify a build.prop that I have navigated to via root explorer, it automatically adds a .bak extension to the original build.prop file.
for an edit of build.prop, be sure to use the correct edit tool which places a 'line feed' at the eol and not a 'carriage return and line feed'.
hth.

you are right, normally a backup is automatically created. But, I have seen a lot of requests since November when we started messing with this device of people making mistakes and not having a backup. So it is always a good idea to copy and then save to the sd card just in case.

Well to be quite honest, before you make any sort of system modifications, you should always make a nandroid backup.
Having a backup of the build.prop or whatever file is nice because it allows you to quickly revert. But a nandroid backup protects you from when the damn thing decides to temp brick.
build prop differences
Also be aware that the build prop typo correction from the Team B CM 7 release (and I believe the RC2 release from a different source I cannot remember) is different from the mods Veronica released - she has developed her own build prop to handle the internal storage. I also had problems with the included Multi Mount SD Card Lite included in her mod and purchased the full version for $.99 which corrected the problems. Also note that there is an underline before _InternalSD in the full release of her mod which is different from just the small mod that handles the Internal over External SD card. Make sure you are being consistent with the folder name you create with the mod version you have installed.

exactly, if more people would do this there might be fewer issues due to being able to restore if there is a oops moment.

Hi Bernardicus
Thanks heaps you are a champion!
I don't even know how to get terminal into su yet so you zip was a god send.
Now I have to work out how to enlarge the 1g of memory, i must admit it's very fulfilling modifying my Nook, looking forward to be proficient enough to return the favors from you all.

Absolutely correct. I'm running her ribbon ics mod now on top of the Team B CM7 ROM (and loving it). She also modded the vold.fstab in /system/etc to reflect those changes in build.prop. I ended up replacing her vold.fstab with the Team B version and editing her build.prop to reflect the corrected "typos" in the Team B build.prop. (I know, I de-modded the mod, but for some reason, using the multi mount widget to do something that the OS should handle made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!)
I'm spending more time modifying this thing that actually using it! But it has been fun.

I'm running Veronica's NT_CM7_Ribbon_ICS_v2.1 and I have the same problem. I replaced her vold.fstab with the Team B version and edited her build.prop. Now I can mount the Internal SD on my computer. Thanks for the help.
