Frequently Asked Questions

How do I root my nook?

You can either go to Softroot and follow the instructions there to get your nook rooted and some apps pre-installed for you or use Rooting if that doesn't work. Remember, rooting will probably void your warranty.

How do I set the nookLauncher as the default launcher?

You can now set the nookLauncher to be default from within the nookLauncher, just go into nookLauncher, scroll to the right and tap "use as default launcher" button. Check out video below if you need more details. {{#ev:youtube|x0xi97i-vug}}

How do I install Trook, the browser, etc?

They're already installed, using the Launcher Settings, then hit the '+' to add them to the menu.

How do I disable B&N updates

You need adb to do this, you can do it by issuing the following command (1.3):

adb shell rm /system/app/FirmwareUpdateService.apk

You can also mv it out of the /system/app directory or save it somewhere else using adb pull before removing it. In prior to 1.3 firmware versions you need to (re)move FUS-release.apk package.

I can't uninstall a nookDevs app

if the following fails

adb uninstall com.nookdevs.launcher

You likely did the 1.2 streamlined update when it first came out, we have made some changes in the way things are laid out. You have 2 options.

• Run the latest 1.2 streamlined update, it will run over top of a 1.2 rooted nook, and it will save your settings (You don't need to go to 1.0.0)
• Edit your /data/system/packages.xml and remove the system="true" next to the app you wish to uninstall.

Please note that the #1 method is recommended as there have been other fixes to the update since we released it.

I bricked my Nook, how do I fix it?

I've yet to hear of a single person irrecoverably bricking their nook. Try the following:

• Remove battery.
• Plug the device in via USB
• Boot it up.

How do I revert my nook to its factory freshness?

Please see how on this page.

Can I have your babies?

Maybe, send pics.
