XDA developers managed to enable two versions of NoRefresh mode on the Nook Simple Touch. You can read the full thread here:

Essentially, the developer just made some minor adjustments which enabled a version of NoRefresh - guevor calls it "Fastmode". Of course it appears that the display drivers related to FastRefresh are located in the OMAP folder and the T68 uses a Freescale CPU. In theory it should be easier to implement NoRefresh on the T68, as Freescale drivers are widely available.
I also wanted to report that after rooting the T68, the WiFi management begins working properly. WiFi no longer turns off on its own or after sleep. I'm not sure why this might be, but it could relate to improper permissions. Also, I installed a CPU management app and changed both the governor and the I/O scheduler (although changing these shouldn't impact the WiFi management).
I don't think it would require much development work at all, particularly if an APK is used to toggle NoRefresh mode. |
Request already forwarded to our engineers. I am impressed myself so I will push them to implement it.
Currently we are focused on improvement of annotation features in our reading apps (scribbling, merging, export etc.)
