Krypto posted a link to installing a standard samba server on your Nook. I'd say this is a safe app (based on opensource originals, but you have to trust the compiler). I do happen to have it on my Android phone (mostly as proof of concept -- I'm a linux sysadmin so I thought it kinda cool), but don't see the need on the Nook since I already own the Websharing app and WebDAV gives you similar functionality (you need to do the extra step of mapping a drive to the WebDAV connection, but once you do so it looks just like a drive to your PC, the same way a samba share would).

It's up to you, the samba server is free, the web-sharing apps are linked in the market making them easy to manage, upgrade, and de-install.

Hunh. It's supposed to be able to access internal memory. I'm on the road for a few days and can't comare functionality with my EVO phone to see what the difference is and whether this can be fixed. The developer is a good one (who also wrote the excellent System Panel app) so if there is a problem with the app, he might well fix it. But it's probably pilot error.

You might mention it on the lastpass forums, I saw at least one other report of android uuid issues (different than yours).

I use mutligrid one and I restrict mobile devices to the list that I allow. multigrid is not an issue. Issue is only with restricted mobile devices. I guess I'll post it on lastpass forums although I doubt they will support nook color. worth a shot

Sure could be. But I tried again and still didn't find the internal mem. Maybe a free version limitation?

No, I have the pay version. I meant my pilot error, actually, since I observed the same problem. Oops. Sorry about that (meant it to be a self-deprecation, but since you were reporting the same issue, it came out rude instead)

I'll check the pay version on my android phone on Thursday when I get home and verify if I can see internal memory on it. I don't recall if it works like the docs claim or not -- the EVO has such a small internal memory that I don't tend to use it.

Update: It looks like WebSharing only supports internal storage on the DroidIncredible and no other phones

Did any of the other apps you tried have support for the internal storage?

Oh, I get it now. I wasn't understanding earlier that you had verified the same issue on the NC yourself.

Re: rude - no worries, I have thicker skin than that. Pilot error is always a possibility for me.

I noticed that once I rooted my Nook, my "continue reading" button doesn't work anymore. Is there a fix for this? I removed SoftKeys, in favor of Button Savior, thinking that may have been the cause. No dice. Any ideas?

See the last few posts of this thread:

outside of having to use winimage to create the imaged sd, this has been by far the easiest android root I've done (G-1, Clik, MT3G Slide). and with just having to have an updated base nook and drop in the sd card, future roots are dirt easy. all the instructions regarding drivers sort of assumes you're not using auto-nooter. and once it's rooted, everything else that would be done using ADB, i've done with a terminal client. One item of note is that som e apps will not show a keyboard unless you have the nook in portrait mode. a rather small but under-mentioned point. And now that someone has managed to at least partially get the onboard bluetooth module to wake up, I expect that this will be at least as hot as a Samsung Tab with the next major rom.

PegS, thanks for that link. Now how do I get back to the stock home launcher? I was able to do that when I had SoftKeys (which I don't have anymore) and I can't seem to find a setting in Zeum or Button Saviour to map the "N" key to the home launcher. Any ideas?

Hello all,

I've just read through all 32 pages of this thread and have been enlightened and entertained. Laughed quite a bit reading through these posts

Once I new the Nook Color existed (I have the original Nook) I was curious as to whether or not I wanted to upgrade. I wanted a tablet of some kind; you know, the usual suspects, iPad/Galaxy Tab. After looking at the prices, and the fact that the 2nd gen iPad isn't due out until spring sometime, I came back to look at the Nook Color as I heard it was based on Android. I fell across this thread from another web site and was glued until all pages had been read.

I'm going to head off to my (somewhat local) Barnes & Noble location after work to pick up one of these gems. I look forward to spending some quality time in these forums.
