youtube not working - Nook Color General

I hope I am posting this in the right place. I successfully rooted using auto-nooter and almost everything seems to be working well - thanks to you all for the great instructions because I am a totally noob in the Android department.
You tube worked (not sure if it was before or after rooting but now it doesn't). This is found at the end of the auto-nooter instructions:
"If your Youtube fails to launch delete /data/data/com.android.youtube"
I can't find "data/data/com.android.youtube" to delete. I have ASTRO installed. Can someone lead me through this please? Thank you.

If you install Titanium backup, there is an option to "Wipe Data" for programs. Just scroll to Youtube in the list of installed programs, hit "Wipe Data" and it should work again. Just don't sign into Youtube afterward, or you'll be in the same place again.

THANK YOU, peiziyu
That was easy - it worked great. xda rocks!

You can use Titanium Backup or ES File Explorer.

No problem. Glad I could help.

You can also use Nook Tools. Sadly this fix doesnt work for me and everything I try only gets it to work for a short period of time.

Don't sign in next time you get it to work.
If you remain signed in when you quit YouTube, it will just close the next time until you wipe data again..
That's because this version of YouTube is not really for Android 2.1, ...

has anyone tried this version? its the froyo/gbread version ported to eclair.

I can't find the wipe data option in the free version, how do you do it?

Start by getting Titanium Backup from the market (free), then start titanium and hit "backup/restore", go down to youtube and then hit "wipe data"
Hoe that helps

Reinstall
I rooted fine last night (and added Zeem launcher) and apparently signed into youtube and closed out. As such youtube stopped working. I tried uninstalling YouTube via Zeem and was going to install it again from the marketplace. But could not find it in the marketplace. I then installed Titanium Backup and it started working again (I didn't go into TB, just installed it). Today it stopped working again, of course I know why now after finding this thread. However, I have already uninstalled it and TB shows that it is uninstalled and I can't find it in the MarketPlace. How can I reinstall YouTube if I can't find it in the MarketPlace?

I am getting the following error in Ti Backup.
Code:
"Warning - System Configuration"
Your system will prevent you form restoring application. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings the in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox.
I cannot find that menu so therefore I am stuck in trying to repair YouTube. ES File Explorer does not show anything inside the /data folder that I can delete.
Thx
Edit:
Nevermind, I found the answer. Ti Backup needs an empty SD Card in order to see Apps. YouTube Wipe Data worked perfectly.

I was able to fix my issue.
I shut the nook off (not just the screen) and put in the auto-nooter microSD card again. Plugged the Nook up to the PC and waited. Basicly I was trying to re-root it. My PC started chiming saying it it found new hardware and that it didn't have drivers for it. It did that a few times and after about 2 minutes the Nook was turned on. I first noticed it had my normal wallpaper on it, so I unlocked it and all my apps were still installed, and the YouTube app was on there again.
So it appears that the auto-nooter saw youtube was missing and put it back for me. Looks like I'm keeping that microSD card around in case I ever need it again.

Thank you
Ti Backup worked perfectly!

market issue? (closed)

Ok, so I installed cyanogen's latest and greatest, but handcent kept force closing.
First, I uninstalled and reinstalled via market, still force closed.
Then, I uninstalled via manage applications. No problems there.
Went to reinstall from the market, but it says its already installed, with the open/uninstall buttons greyed out. Its definitely not on my phone, and I checked the sd card to make sure it wasn't there either. Any ideas?

The best and easiest way is to reinstall a backed up copy of handcent.
Then you can uninstall/reinstall as you wish from the market
or....
You need to first delete the handcent data folder in /data/data
Then delete /data/data/com.android.vending
reboot
You will need to accept the Market TOS again
The first way is the safest and easiest, but #2 will work with no other alternative.
If you have no backup, and don't want to try step 2, PM me with your email and I'll send a copy of Handcent.

That would be awesome, thank you. I tried to find another place to d/l it from online last night, but was unable to.

Titanium Backup Pro (CM7 Stable) not in app drawer

I'm coming from autnooter 3.0 to CM7. After successfully installing CM7 and Gapps, I went into the market and downloaded my paid Titanium Backup Pro app. It downloaded fine, but it is NOT in the app drawer.
I went into manage applications and it is showing that it is there, but obviously i can't launch the program.
do i need to do something special to get this to show up in my app drawer? Do I need to check allow non-market apps or something and then reboot?
would love to restore a lot of my apps from my e-clair ROM.
I didn't have that problem and I followed the same upgrade path that you did.
One thing I would suggest is going to the market/my apps and see if TB is 'installed' there. If it is, when you click on it, it will give you the option to open it. Try that.
On my old auto-nooter installs, I noticed that some apps didn't appear until reboot, others had to be manually moved to system/apps with root explorer.
I am totally loving CM7 and haven't had any serious problems at all. Using Aldiko to read my epubs works great.
Yes, I did try to "open" it from the market and yes it says its "installed" in the market as well.
the "open" button in the market is "greyed out", meaning i cannot press it. I will try a reboot when I get home and will also d/l root explorer and try moving it that way.
The other thing is, and this I don't know, is The Pro just a key? So you have to install the free version as well? A lot of 'pro' apps work that way.
you may be right. Did you d/l the free version first? then the "key" (aka PRO)?
do you remember?
I'm still just using the free version. This is what I used to restore my apps after the CM7 upgrade. The downside to the free version (I think) is that the files are restored 1 by 1.
Yes, you need to install the free version from market, at which point it should recognize you have a pro key. Then, just reload TB (by pushing the menu button when in TB, then "reload application"...or just reboot) and it should use your pro key just fine. I've done this several times in the past with no issues.

[Q] CM7 market does not show "My Apps" (fixed)

i have this weird problem:
first, i'm running CM7 from a verygreen's SD card
it was running fine but i had some force closes so i resintalled from the begining (reflashed verygreens image), then installed CM7.0.2, installed gapps, and when the market was downloading all of my apps, my system crashed down, and had to reboot.
After that, i havent been able to see my free apps in the "My Apps" tab of the market, i can see my paid apps.
tried to reflash again verygreens image to delete everything, upgraded to n59, still, only see my paid apps. tried restore them with titanium, and they restore, but the "Attach to market" option does not work for me
when i log to the web market, it shows that all my apps (free and paid) as if they were already installed
has anyone else seen this behaviour? any idea?
thanks

Not really, but you might try this... Install and run Appbrain, sync up with it, etc.. then go into the Market app.
When I was messing with ROMs a while back with apps already on my SD ext partition they'd show up to run but not in the Market, but running Appbrain always "attached" them for me. Did it several times.
Using CM7, I was experiencing the same issue, but any new app I downloaded, free or paid, would then show up in the market. I wasn't too concerned, as I only had 5 free apps from the market. Amazon Market, which is where most of my apps are, showed all without an issue.

thanks a lot, this attached all my restored apps (with TitatiumB) to the market again.
missing apps still fail to be re-downloaded, but not a problem since i have a full backup of my apps, just have to restore them and reattach with appbrain

[Q] Apps not showing in market but will install from .apk

I have stock 2.2.2 WiFi that I have rooted with GingerBreak. When I search for items in the market it doesn't show them. If I search on the PC version of the market it shows them as incompatible with my device. However if I download the apk and install it works fine. For example Lookout incompatible, installed and working correctly. Is this an issue with my Streak, my market account or is it just tha the Streak can't run these apps?

The market checks for HW or SW compatibility. LookOut most likely can place phone calls and send SMS, neither of which the Streak can do.
But you're right, if you can otherwise get the apk they work fine.
The good news? Look forward to more of this in the future, the new market (the Windows Phone 7 looking crap) filters even more.
Thanks that explains a lot. Can I just copy the apk from by ZTE Blade or even Titanium Backup and install that. Also once it is installled does that mean it will never update either so each time I get an update on my phone I'll have to copy the apk over to the Streak.

Yeah, you should be able to sideload it, and yes, sideload updates. Very annoying.
Only thing Developers can do here is remove permissions to call number or SMS, maybe make them a "plugin" for their app..
What I don't get is some apps, like Android Agenda Widget. The free version shows in the market, but the Pro doesn't. No permissions differences between the two that I see! And it's only on my other tablet, Nook Color. DS7 it's fine. Go figure.
Still having problems. Having copied the apk over and installed it, it doesn't show up in My Apps on the store. If I use AppBrain it shows all the apps and that I have updates to do but as soon as I try to install the updates it goes to the market and they are not available. Current updates are Voice Search and Facebook.
Is there anything I can change on the Streak so that the market thinks it is a 3G streak so I can see all the other apps. Latest is I can't see any Gameloft games now. I tried upgrading to the new Market App but seemed to make no difference.
Googled it but there seems to be no way to reset my Market account without creating new logon and resetting phone which I would sooner not do but may be my only option.

I have been able to transfer "unsupported device" apps from one device to another (true all my devices are Tegra2 devices).I went into titanium backup and backed up the app, then copied it over to an extenal SD card and copied it to another device (to the titanium backup folder in that device) then went into TB and did an app refresh then restored the app (ONLY - not the data) then cleared the cache and rebooted the device. So far each time I have done this it has worked without any trouble.
I have not tried to update any of these apps on the " unsupported devices" yet (current revision) so I don't know if it can be done or not (sure I will find out soon enough) its worth a try,but true if you have to do this all the time it would be a PITA.
So good luck
A first step is to check your market filter settings..often a simple solution...

[Q] Getting Non-Market Apps to work after rooting 1.3?

Went through all the steps and everything *seems* to be working properly. When trying to reinstall the Amazon App-store I am unable to find the check box in Nook Tools to allow the NMA installation. I went into Titanium to try and restore a backup and it isn't finding anything. Not even the apps currently installed... Anyone else having this or am I just a flaming moron?

It's right at the top when you first open nook color tools, but the label isn't there anymore. It's probably checked, but uncheck it and check it again.
Yup... Flaming Moron... Thanks!
Any idea what could be up with Titanium though?
