Making the Nook a KOReader-first device

[apastuszak]

I recently bought Nook Glowlight 4 Plus refurbished off Amazon and tinkered with getting KOReader on it.

I have no interest in using the Barnes and Noble software, so I thought it would be fun to throw some tokens at an idea I had that could make the Nook a "KOReader first" device.

Here is what I have done so far.

• An Android helper application and KOReader plugin that lets you join WI-Fii networks
• A new launcher that only opens KOReader. If KOReader crashes three times in a row, then the launcher takes you to a debug screen to open another launcher. Pressing the home button 3 times will also take you to the debug screen.
• A userpatch to rename the Exit option to "Restart KOReader". This patch also makes sure that KOReader reopens when you exit it.

Things I still want to add:

• Bluetooth control. Either a plugin that can let you pair devices right in KOReader or take you to the Android Bluetooth settings page.
• Some way to open the Barnes and Noble Nook launcher without needing to go into the recovery screen of the new launcher.

Anything else that would be useful for this little project?
