Any nonroot options to get play store or amazon app store on 1.4.3? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My girlfriends daughter is six years old, and a family member gave her a nook color. It has 1.4.3 on it. My girlfriend doesn't want me to change the interface on it or root it. Is there anyway to keep the stock software and load play store or amazon app store without rooting? If not do any of the sd card root options make zero changes to the nooks internal system files?

Read leapinlar's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941858 and learn how to install android on a micro SD card to be inserted in the Nook Color. Use a SANDISK 8gb micro SD card (class 4 works well and is cheap) ONLY. They really do work the best for this.
With the card in it's android. Take it out and the stock Nook Color will boot.
Read and follow the instructions carefully it's not hard but it is a bit tricky the first time.
Good luck!

Pics lost and sd card blank

I hope I put this in the right thread. I flashed a different kernal, clicked set on boot with setcpu and it instantly locked up my phone. Now I've lost all my photos and videos and my sd card is blank. Any ideas if any on how to retrieve them. Thank you in advance

There's a software online called "minitool power data recovry". It has a price ($40-$145, they have a functional demo), but its performed miracles for me in terms of data recovery.
But my first recomendation, anytime you experience data loss, STOP everything your doing with the drive (or sdcard), every second you try to access it, you might be loosing more and more data.

After you figure out this mess get Titanium Media Sync so you don't have these problems anymore. I gather you don't have a cwm backup?

Also never pick SetCPU for set changes on boot until you thoroughly test your settings. This way it will restore to stock settings if you lock up and have to reboot. The same goes to Voltage Control or any overclocking/undervolting app. Every phone is different and requires custom settings and extensive testing.

Did you pull the card out and put it in a card reader on a computer to see if your data is still there?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Edit: went to Sprint store and told them about my problem. they didn't ask any questions just replaced the sd card... Unfortunately they said they were out of 16 gb cards so I got an 8, however they gave me the 16 gb bad card back and a business card with the store managers signature on it and said come back in a week with the SD card and they will replace it... Seems like I'll get to keep the 8 gigger (as he put it) too...
I saw this problem earlier in the week, and my friend's epic wiped all pics/videos- blanked it, but somehow kept the apps.. the data was still there- I used diskdigger (pc app from diskdigger.org, which you have to pay for- i think it's $15 now) and an usb sd card reader. I did a surface scan for traces of files (dig deeper), where you have to tell it what to look for (eg: look for .jpgs only), and it pulled up a ton of files- some of them browser cache files, some were the missing pics, etc. I guess you could use any file recovery program, but the thing to remember: if you think you lost everything, don't use the sd card! Writing anything to it might write over the files you are trying to recover. A new 16gb card off amazon is around $30. I'd love to know why the epic erases everything.
I have had a kernel do this to me twice in the past. Turned out to be some error in script. It has long since been fixed. It was like my SD card got formatted. Everything was gone. Hope that's not the case for you. Out of curiousity, which kernel did you flash?

Yes same thing for me got replacement with card from Asurion and I am convinced now their cards are not probably 16gb and faulty. I can't access the card at all on my pc even with some advanced tools.

Hack without sd card

When I received my refurbished attic they didn't include the sd card so I was wondering if there was a way to forgo having one but still flash rom's sideload and all that good rubbish.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
the atrix does not come with a sd card. it has 16gb built in storage memory, so just install applications and download things as you would and u shouldn't be running out of space anytime soon.
Go into best buy, spend 9.99 and get a micro sd card.
Indeed the phone has 16 gigs of internal storage....what do you think this is an Inspire?

Trouble Downloading From Amazon

Hello, I just flashed my new Nook touch last night. Everything went well. Except for one thing. Whilst I am waiting on the Play Store to decide it will work I would like to use the Amazon app store to download some apps. When I click get app I receive the following error. As you can see I have no idea what it's trying to tell me. The text in the error box must be white or something. I have the box checked for allowed from 3rd party. I guess I could just wait a while longer until the Play Store decides to work.... Any thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Did you un-check and re-check the install non-market apps check box? This seems to be necessary for some reason. I believe it is checked by default but in order to work, you need to un-check and then re-check it.
Yes I did. Thanks for the thoughts though. I wish I knew what the error message was. I can't read it. Drives me crazy. Lol.

Do you have a micro SD card in your nook ? Amazon appstore downloads the APKs on the card not on the nook.

HD+, CM10 vs Rooted stock?

I'm playing with CM10 on a 16gb class 10, its dog slow compared to a properly running device (like my GS3 on CM10.1). Before I spend a few hours getting the stock rom rooted, gapps, side loading, etc.. enabled. Is it faster.

If you are running on a decent SD, CM10 is not slow. I can't say there is much difference between CM10 running on a good SD and stock. By good SD I mean a SanDisk class 4.
And it does not take a few hours to do those things to stock. Once you burn my CWM card, it is minutes to do all those things.

Sorry to jack the thread, but what speeds should you be seeing on a sandisk class 4 or any sd for that matter to have "good" speeds, I know random writes are most important, and for some reason I only get about 0.5 mb on my sandisk class 4

Look at this thread. It is all about running Nook Color ROMs on SD and the cards that work best. It has benchmarks for many brands and classes. And is very applicable to the HD series.

I would like to benchmark my EMMC with crystal mark but havent figured out how yet :/
As is though, I am using rooted stock 2.0.5 from leapinlar's guide. Its pretty dang fast. A lot faster than was shown in the review videos. Still not up there with my GS3, but about as good as my GS2 was (yes I realize those devices have less pixels to render, but its all I have to compare to). Regardless, its fast enough that I don't ever feel like I'm waiting and it has enough functionality to do basically everything. Thats enough for me to be happy with the device and use it till it falls apart. Too bad theres not some magical way to have this thing run from a small SSD over USB.
Do you need an SD card to be in the nook to run rooted stock? I'm interested in seeing how much faster it is than cm10, you can still access the stock reader right? And can you install paid apps from your Google account?

No need for SD in slot unless you want one. All stock stuff available plus paid apps if you flashed the gapps zip and registered with Google.

Yes you can. I have the zips hard coded to install my zips to stock. Usually you can't but in this case you can.

Just a note on doing the rooted stock thing, i was unable to get any of leaps cwm sd card images to boot. Could be my card, could be my reader, etc.. whatever. However the cwm images for installing CM10 did work, so I just wrote one of those images to it, and then replaced all of the files with the files from the image that can write to emmc. Probably something technical to do with alignment but whatever, it worked. Just an option if you have trouble getting it to boot from your card.

soooooo forgot about the sdcard issue

Its been so long aince my N3 was rooted I totally forgot about the sdcard write issue with KitKrap.

For now (till we get root) use the "My Files" built in app if you need to write to the SD card. It's about the only app that seems to work consistently.

have you tried DOING anything with your 128 card? some of the stock apps will play nice, but even deleting a picture will give you a "sorry KitKrap doesn't allow sd card access". when I finish a video and go to delete it "sorry KitKrap doesn't allow it", when I use Google Drive and move a doc over to another folder or file "sorry KitKrap; nope!".. I've always been extremely well organized, and I've put a lot of time into organizing my SD card with any files or folders I'll need or use for work, and KitKrap won't allow any of it.. it's actually the exact same thing as when the "LOCK" switch is switched when you plug a standard SD card into a computer, except you can never turn it off.

Actually i discovered that the stock photo browser app only hides images, doesn't delete them. It may just be me, but after taking a string of shots of my daughter and trying to delete all but one, the gallery app said they were deleted, but when i plugged my phone into my computer they were all on the sdcard. Curious if others have the same issue?
Gonna be fixed in Lollipop. Long live sdcards!

Mostly I have all my pictures saved to it. I also transfer movies and tv shows to it on a daily basis. (Download a tv show to my laptop and transfer it to sd card via usb) On average, I have about 5GBs of free space left on my card.
Only ran into an issue once. I tried to delete a folder (season 5 of the show"24") and it claims that the card was "Write Protected" So I went into the folder and deleted the episodes . Folder still remains but its empty. Other than that its been working fine.
BTW I'm using the SanDisk Ultra 128 GB micro SD

I noticed the stock apps dont refresh and also keep a massive cache. I moved a pic folder and it remained in the stock pic app as cache, including full sized images. when I moved my music folder it did the exact same thing.. there's no refresh option. I cleared data and cache from the app, but it must be using some other means to cache, because nothing is actually better afterwards.

Assuming Android team leaves the option intact for the public release. Notice still no sd slot on the Nexus devices in spite of card writes "apparently" being part of the framework now Never doubt Android's hatred for sd cards. Were it not for Apple buyers scarfing up almost all the flash supply allocations for the iPhone launch, the G1 would have had 2GB of flash and no sd slot.
We can truly thank Apple for why Android devices have sd slots in the first place. :victory:

The issue is non stock apps can't write to the card. Of course you will have no issues if use no apps that need to.
More an issue here of "information error".

You don't understand the issue. Kitkat took away the app's ability to write/delete any where on the SD card, it only allows full access to the app's own folder on the SD card. I.E. sandboxing it. Apps are still able to read the whole SD card though.
