I'm running rooted NT (Indirect's method) and originally I did the extreme debloat. I want to try out a few of the BN apps - is it possible to "rebloat" by using the ADB Hijack tool followed by rerunning Indirect's script? Would this reinstall the missing apps? Or do I have to totally restore back to 1.40, rerun the script and choose not to debloat?
Just give me few minutes ill upload the System/app folder of the stock 1.4.0 so you can use adb tools with adb hijack together to push the missing applications (bloat) you want. Until then read this so you get familiarized with adb:

OR
@Loglud: Most easiest way is to take the apps you want and copy them over to a SD card. Then using root explorer or equivilant, navigate to /system/app and press mount as R/W and then copy all of the apps you want into that folder.
Edit: Alright so since you picked option 5:
echo Please select 5 to run the EXTREME debloater (Does all of the above and
echo removes ALL barnes and noble apps from your device
echo so you lose ALL functionality towards B and N but
echo you have a normal android tablet
echo DO NOT ASK FOR SUPPORT WITH THIS OPTION, you will be ignored.)

This is the list of the applications that were removed in the EXTREME debloater:

... so those are the ones that you may want to install back.

Thanks to you both..
For the advice. Yes, I'm certainly familiar with ADB but I normally use Root Explorer to load up system/app. What I am actually trying to do is get the "reading icon" to work on a rooted NT. And use a few other aps besides.
Veronica - thanks especially for the zipped apps.

Download Android Market 3.3.12 here
If normal installation didn't work out well for you, use the method below.
Procedure to install via Root Explorer Method
1. Download the apk file from the above link to your sd card.
2. Now using Root explorer, go to /system/app
3. Mount the system to r/w.
4. Now search for Vending.apk & rename it to Vending.apk1
5. Copy the file you just downloded to /system/app & rename it to Vending.apk
6. Now press & hold the app and select Permissions
7. Select only the options given below. Now REBOOT & enjoy.....
Many thanks!! This version works great! It's nice to have my phone wait until I get home to my wi-fi for updates!
I seem to not understand how to install this. Its not an apk so I tried flashing it through CWR but that fails with a install aborted message. I've installed hundred of apps before but not sure if I got a bad download or if this needs a more advanced approach. Am I just suppose to copy/replace the files within the zip with Root Explorer?
Thanks

You will have to push it to system app using Root Explorer. First you will have to rename the existing Vending.apk to Vending_1.apk or Vending.bak. Then rename the new Market app to Vending.apk. Then reboot.

My Vibrant automatically updated itself to this.
Market updated
I used the ota blocking root. The one with the video and all is well. I love my rooted Nikki and the smart minds of this community, so thanks to all. Moving on, I used the option in the computer. .bat file that gave the option of pressing the physical ''n" button key to back out to home. I don't like it because it doesn't allow me to pull up the option menus in some apps, which is important since the taskbar doesn't always show, like in emulators and I also miss the menu it pops up at home screen with the search etc.
So, i'm wondering if there is a way to return the "n" button to default without rerooting? Thanks to all who help.
Also, I can't open my keyboard setting to turn off the auto- correct feature. It's annoying. It force closes every time, even if I reboot.
This is the stock SystemUI, rename it to SystemUI.apk. Took it from the acclaim_update.zip
StockSystemUI.apk

Would I just rename and drop it in the root folder from my pc?

root folder? you mean to reroot? there is no need to reroot just rename the file copy it to your sdcard and then by suing ES file explorer or Root explorer Cut/move it to /system and paste it, then long press SystemUI.apk now if you used Root Explorer (not free) select permissions from the list and change it to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once done long press it again but now pick change owner from the list (scroll down is at the end of the list) and change:
Owner: 0 - root
Group: 0 - root
If you used ES file explorer (free) then long press SystemUI.apk and select properties from the list, change permissions same as in the pic i posted above.
Once done that cut/move it to /system/app folder
REBOOT to finish

I will give it a try when I get some time to myself, thanks.
I am a not developer and dont know how to create apk, so i have a request to any developer.
Can make apk with script file, i have ready script file to push in apk
simple apk with one button to run script and progress bar.
SU permission required too.
for future updating of the script that could be replaced only into a script file in the apk
If you can make that simple apk tell me, then i publish the script. Thanx
Can't you just use script manager?
Sent from my LT15a using XDA
yes i can but first must install script with update.zip
next run script with terminal or script manager or adb shell from PC
Apk is universal and simply way to use, and dont require install update.zip before (i think so)
so meybe any dev help me?
What exactly are you looking for? A apk that runs scripts you give to it or just a apk that runs the script your talking about?
If it's just an apk that runs several scripts, the method to get them onto your phone will be the same I.e. You will still need the update.zip or adb push.
If it's just for one script it only takes a few lines of code, take a look on the portal one of the devs published a video on how to create a root app.
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
ok so i add script to attachment
Script make nandroid backup CMW
example of another application:
this is content of example apk

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
i need to put script file in apk archive, example (or another folder in apk)
for future simple edit script without recompiling apk.
but i dont know how to compile this apk.
I'm still struggling with what exactly it is your looking for, if you code an apk yourself theirs more chances of bugs rather then say using a terminal emulator from a developer with a lot of experience. As for the progress bar, you would have to modify the script itself to report the current progress. Unless you want to get into dev then I would suggest you stick with terminal.
Else check this video from Adam, it gives you the basics and he also includes a link to his open source "shell" class.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-build-an-android-app-part-2-writing-a-root-app-xda-tv/
The basics would be to get that app up and running yourself, make sure that it runs commands you give it. Then just have your script somewhere like "/sdcard/script.txt" and pass the parameters something like "su -c", "sh /sdcard/script.txt". That way you could always update /sdcard/script.txt and then just run your application.
It's easy to run scripts from in an app. But you need to code it not edit an excisting app
Are you wanting an app to automate cwm backups? ( my cwm autoinstaller does this )
I don't understand what you are after either lol.

That say "You don't have enought memory!" But, look at that screenshot:
I have more than 400mb free to install apps! Why i'm getting this error now? This happen only with FPSE. Anyone getting this? Please, help-me!

Same problem, but not got a answer myself. Did you use lucky patcher to remove the license check while trying to play games? This is when it went wrong for me. Anyone with any advice please.
Push FPSE apk to /data/app and chmod 644.
Not sure what that means but it's the most help I've had with the issue, I will look into it and thanks for the quick response.
I mean copy FPSE apk file to /data/app and set rw-r--r-- permissions (using Root Explorer of course)
I now have the app installed but it now force closes on me but thanks for your help as I have searched for help for days now.
Actually, look in /data/app for all FPSE files. There will likely be a .apk, and a .odex file. If there are, delete them both, and try installing again. The existence of the .odex file is what usually causes this message when you have plenty of memory.

Is it possible to root a Sony Z2 without losing data or something? I have a Sony Z2 which needs to be rooted, but the owner does not want to lose his apps and other data. Is that possible?
Not that i know of
There are options that are somewhat odd as the apps used send a lot of private data.
What version of Android? Should be easy if you don't have to downgrade. What data don't you want to lose? If it's sms and call logs, they can be backed up without root. User apps should also be able to be backed up without root and then restored later.
Have you looked at the backup and restore app?

Google is a wonderful thing
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-howtos.html
1. How to make your first backup WITHOUT root:
Before beginning, you need to setup your ADB and have your device detected. You must also running Android version 4.0 and above. Also, make sure you have a file manager installed. Our favorite is the ES File Explorer.
Connect your device and make sure its listed with the following command:
adb devices
Run a FULL backup with the following command:
adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all
This will create a “package” called “FullBackup.ab” on the current location in your command prompt. This is your backup package.
Now you can root your phone.
Once finished rooting, insert the “FullBackup.ab” package on your sdcard
Hit the menu button and look for “Extract from ADB backup” option. This will prompt you to search for the file. Use the file manager that you installed earlier and navigate to the directory and select the FullBackup.ab file.
Now restore like as if the backup was made with Titanium Backup. Don’t forget to make a fresh copy of the backup using Titanium Backup. You’re Done!
