Welcome N2A (formerly Nook2Android) to the Startup Recroot family! N2A
is growing and their goal is to get inside of every Nook everywhere -
so if you want to work for a small but profitable startup with a sense
of family, N2A is the place for you.
An overnight success story, N2A shares the same challenge as other
small but revenue-generating startups - talent. Small but growing, N2A
needs a kick-ass Android Developer to help them over a small hump and
if you are interested in a longer term opportunity, this is the right
place - N2A would love a FT Android expert.
The specs:
While some of the details are confidential, we can publicly share that
we need someone who can:
Set the EULA (end-user license agreement) to pop up as customers use
the product for the first time
Build a custom N2A app that will perform multiple fixes (and with
fixes added as needed):
"Clear data" for the Market app and then launches Market if installed
"Clear data" for Google Services Framework and reboot
Combo fix using both fixes above
Toggle Airplane Mode the way Android Assistant does
Increase volume like in the Nook Color Tweaks app
While our Founder is located in Phoenix and would love someone local,
we are open to a virtual relationship as well.
Next steps:
Christmas is just around the corner and we need talent now before the
season increases sales exponentially - so if you are interested,
either submit your information here and one of our client services
reps will contact you or email us directly at
tgow...@startuprecroot.com. Also, please be sure to send us examples
of previous Android projects you have done (and feel free to brag a
little!)
Information direct from N2A:
We would like to be sure and give credit where credit is due. N2A uses
a modded version of Google Android called CM7 for the Nook Color. CM7
is created by a group of developers known as Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod
is dedicated to providing the highest quality Android mods for the
Android cell phone and tablet community.
Another group to acknowledge is XDA Developers. XDA is a huge group of
Android developers creating new features and bug fixes for CM7 and
other projects. Both groups offer their software and updates for no
charge under the Android Open Source Project and the GNU Public
License. These licenses allow N2A to legally use, distribute, and
support their software and updates.
Instructions on how to do this yourself are available free of charge
on their websites. When you buy a N2A card you are purchasing the
highest quality Sandisk MicroSD card and all the services to get
Android and the added features as perfect as you would expect. You are
not purchasing the software as it is provided free of charge under the
licenses mentioned above.
Thanks for your interest in N2A!
