Is there a way to do this without adb, such as by flashing the zip file?
ADB frightens me.

Look at the Nook General page at "Work Around" issues. The OP his some tips. I believe #12 or 13 deals with live wallpaper manipulation with root explorer.
Thanks. The link to the file in #12 isn't working for me. Do you know what it was? (Was it the "LiveWallpapers_NC.zip" file?)
Edit: and do you know what the best program for the Root Explorer is? (Root Explorer was about $4. Is there something free out there?)
Doesn't Auto-Nooter 1.0.1 enable live wallpaper? It must, because I didn't do any ADBing or sideloading that I remember.
Cheers,
kev

Try this link (I was able to download from there. Got the link from NookDevs, it should be valid). Root Explorer is the best way to work around adb most times. It is worth the investment. Just follow instructions in work around post.

I am trying an app called "Super Manager" which is free.
I am confused at item #12, where it says to install "this" file. (I assume the zip file is what is being referred ti?)
Once I download the .zip file, How do I install it? Don't I have to flash it? (Am I only trying to install the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, and moving the other 2 files into the correct directory in addition to setting the permissions?)

I did not look at the zip file, sorry. I did notice that there were a couple of scripts with it that looks like the whole thing would be flashed in recovery. I found this stand alone apk for the app which I would feel more comfortable with. Install it per instructions. I got the download link from the attached thread that shares which wallpapers may be working. Good luck

Hi I was wondering if someone can help me modify an apk I got from the market. Its a flag live wallpaper and wanted to include my country since there isn't a live wallpaper with my flag. I tried to exchange an image of my country's flag with one in the apk itself however, after zipping it back up it wouldn't install on my phone. I got a problem sparsing package error. Then I tried using ninjamorph and did the same thing. This time it wouldn't install.
What can I do to make this work? Someone please help! Im new at this.
Btw this is the app I downloaded from the market:

You can't modify market apps without resigning them. Search for apk manager or....can't remeber the name, but there's a tool that's simply made for signing apks.
so after zipping the file back up, do I just run it through apk manager? Im currently having issues with that program. And how do I sign the apk? Is it hard or automated by the program?
Thanks in advance!!

Ya it's after you have it zipped up as a .apk and ready to go. You may have to rename it as "unsignedAPPNAME.apk". Either way, simply place it in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and select option 12 "Sign APK". The you'll have a "signedAPPNAME.apk". That's it

Can't say I'm familiar with that error. Probably best to search the apk manager thread.

k so i went in resized your image and optimized, zipped and signed and it tells me that im overwriting an app upon install then it says application not installed.
im actually upset because i cant figure out what the problem is, i normally have success with this kinda stuff but i might just take a loss on this one.
Sorry dude, heres the app anyway if someone wants to look.
P.S I changed your image because it was blurry upon resize, im sure you'll like my new one.

I was going to try to fix this, but it installed just fine for me. The flag matches what he uploaded, so I assume it's correct.
I'm guessing you probably had the original apk already installed on your phone. A resigned apk will generally not overwrite the original. you have to manually uninstall it first. (I'm explaining this more for the op's benefit than yours )

Alright guys, I'm making a collection of flashable zips that I make for everyone as of now so then we don't have any issues. Instead of mirroring my files, please just link whoever needs them here. Anyway, lets begin listing files.
Files:
http://goo-inside.me/apps/Indirect/Nook_tablet/Flashable_Zips
(A specific zip of Gapps is listed there for now but there will be more as development continues.) I'll probably add apps to another directory as of now. But it's just gapps.
Dead links
Hey indirect, thanks for the post/links.
I'm sure These will come up as available eventually but in the mean time what are they for? Is this simply gapps of various version numbers?
Wow
nice, what is inside the zip
specifically?

did not read you post
as rjin9673 pointed out.

Goo-Inside.me is a crappy file host. They make you wait and profit off your download, which is great for a mirror. I'm sending you a PM.

Make you wait? I've not had to wait once when downloading stuff from him. IF you need somewhere to stick a few bits and pieces just let me know, I'll happily give you a little bit of web space.
I created this flashable zip today. Link Gone
it includes apps I describe in the video I am about to upload, to name a few, facebook, twitter, two angry birds you cant get on market, Es File Explorer, NT Highjack, NT Urooter. It was my first attempt at making a flashable zip, let me know what can be done to make it better. oh well. bring the criticism ;P
now everyone dont go crashing my public drop box links again. They already put me on a 3 day suspension before, next time could be a month, and that would mean more downloading from filfactory and sites like that!
update: testing Done.

that's because he just started using Goo-Inside.me. Look what happens when you link an individual file from that site and not a full folder.

Mr. Wertz and Mr. Outler, Thank U for all the files I need in one place. Also Mr. Wertz your videos make me believe I just might be able to root following Indirect's amazing method. Thank U. You all are buzz names at my school.

I tested it and it looks good. I can't find NT Urooter on my apps screen, but do see all the others. Hopefully soon we'll be able to mount the SD card as I had to copy your file to the internal storage to load it.
Thanks,
SK
edit: I found it, guess I need new glasses. Everything looks and worked great.
which school? will you rename your library after me?

Angry Bird FC , but all the others are working fine. Since I don't play it, not a biggie to me. If you can tell me where and what logs you want, I can send them.

Hi Mr. Wertz, Unfortunately it's a Catholic school, so unless you're a saint, which in my opinion you all are for helping others, (This goes out to lavero as well, super patient with newbies), anywho, I doubt if I can get them to rename our library.

If somebody could be kind enough to upload the .apk for the Bookoo app, I would greatly appreciate it! I need to sideload it to my Kindle Fire & can't find the .apk anywhere except for the Market. Thanks!
p.s. I tried to post the link to the app in the Market but it looks like I'm not permitted to do that.
Take it. (Let me know when you already have the file, to delete it).
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, it appears that the Bookoo app truly is incompatible with my Kindle though But I appreciate you taking the time to upload it for me.
I know that I ask a lot of questions, some of them just a bit bonehead. I really appreciate everyones help here.
So, I finally for 1.4.3 running, rooted it, restored my backup from titanium backup. I have noticed, however, that when Installed my custom resources like SystemUI.apk and framework_res.apk there are a few little bugs here and there in the text it displays...
For instance, when you hit the menu button and it displays the block of buttons for some apps (like ADW / ADW EX and Titanium Backup) the arrow that used to say "More" now says "Allows the Application to set an alarm in an" and then it trails off. Obviously this is a mistake, probably they changed some reference between files in the framework folder. Additionally, the "Set as Default" now displays a bunch of %'s and letters as if, again, some reference is bad.
I like running the current software, these are minor issues. I'm sure they can be fixed, just not sure how. I was kind of stupid and didn't make a backup of my original framework_res.apk and SystemUI.apk files from the Nook after I updated but before I replaced them. Stupid of me, I know. I assumed from the file dates that nothing was changed. So, I can't really go back to the originals until I get it sorted out.
Anyone have any suggestions? If perhaps someone who has updated to 1.4.3 could send me those two files so I could make the mods myself on the new APK files? I'm almost positive it is framework_res.apk that is the culprit.
Does anyone have framework_res.apk from v1.4.3?
