[Q] Few questions about downloading apps - Nook Color General

I just rooted my nook color today using the auto nooter and the youtube app isn't working so I was gonna download Titanium backup and remove the app to reinstall and hopefully fix it. Now my question is can I just access the market on my nook color and download Titanium backup or do I have to do it through my comp? The same question applies to launcher pro can I just download it straight from nook?

You can download titanium backup from the marketplace. Haven't checked on the other.

Titanium Backup definitely works from the Market. You don't need to reinstall Youtube.apk though. You can just "Wipe Data" for Youtube from Titanium Backup, and it will work again. You can't sign in to your channel though; the same problem will occur again if you do.
LauncherPro is also available through there, but not sure if it requires any modifications. There are a couple threads in the development forum about it.

Excellent. Using Titanium Backup to "Wipe Data" worked perfectly. Thanks!

I may have just fixed YouTube on my rooted NC. I had tried to log in using my gmail account, but it seems that YouTube only wants your YouTube account username and password. I have never set up such an account, so did so, linked to my gmail account, and after wiping the data for YouTube app using Titanium as described above, I went to My Channel, accepted the terms, and then signed in using my new YouTube account username and password. Success!

[Q] Losing my apps when I install a rom

I am a n00b, just wanted to know how I can keep the apps that I have if I want to change from CM 6 to Sapphire 1. When I rooted my phone and put on CM I lost all my apps including the Shazam that allowed unlimited songs. When I reinstalled from the market now I'm only limited to 5/month, which isn't a big deal but I would like to just keep all 'my' data like #'s and photos.
Thx
Titanium backup.free version will do.backup everything before you flash.after you flash, redownload it & restore your apps.awesome app

So, there isn't a feature in the SYNC software that does a device backup of the apps/contact lists/settings?
Google will sync your contacts back when you sign in. I've seen some apps come back but never any paid ones. Titanium will restore app & data back. Manually with the free , automatic with donate version. It also lets you freeze apps which hides them rather than removing them.

[Q] Gmail crashes when refreshing

When I open the Gmail app and manually refresh, the app closes. If I switch to a label that's not my inbox, then refresh, Gmail will take me back to my inbox and properly refresh it. Also, Gmail won't get mail in the background. I suspect this is because of the crash issue.
Here's a logcat dump from when I force a crash, by trying to refresh my inbox: http://pastebin.com/C7AWUs6Z
Any suggestions for resolving this? I'd like my Nook to automatically fetch mail, and to not have to play games when refreshing manually.
Same problem
I am having the same problem. Also, my gmail won't sync automatically.
I had same issues but now GMail works
In Titanium Backup I "Wiped data" and then reopened GMail now it works fine: auto updates, no FCs, etc.
Good luck m8s!
spiffytech & marcusau2,
What are you running on your NC? 1.0.1? 1.1?
If 1.1, did you use Autonooter 3.0 or Decad3nce v1.1 ROM?

I'm running 1.1 from the Decad3nce ROM.

I can confirm this solution: Run Titanium Backup, select "Gmail 1.3" and "Gmail Storate 2.1-update1" and "Wipe data" for each. Now Gmail doesn't crash when I hit "Refresh".
Does this require me to do a clockwork recovery?

No, fixed the problem without the use of CWR.
I meant to say, I used the auto booted method vs the rom. To fix gmail do i have to use clocwork recovery?

I don't think so. I can only speak for my case, but I expect you can perform the steps I outlined above on your auto-nooted NC and fix the issue.
That solution didn't work for me. I saw in a thread someone mentioned something about adding your google account through youtube or something.

This method worked for me for a little while. Then Gmail started acting up on me again, I think after a reboot. I hope you have better luck than me.
I was going to suggest running fix permissions from Clockwork because that seemed to work for me between now and my last post. But that too has turned out to be temporary fix.
I'm going to try wiping clean and see if the problem goes away on a fresh install.

You wouldn't be able to use Clockwork anyways since you used Autonooter method. I've seen posts that installing Clockwork causes a boot loop that makes your NOOKcolor always boot into Clockwork.
But it's weird you're having problems with the Gmail app. I don't remember seeing issues with Gmail with Autonooter 3.0 while I was looking into using it. However, not being able to use Clockwork was a deal breaker for me to not use Autonooter 3.0.
titanium backup wipe
though it's a bit too early to tell whether this problem will resurface, wiping both the gmail and storage seemed to solve my problem.
i'm running autonooter with the 1.1 update and can't figure out why gmail would just start flaking out for no reason when it has been working just fine
hopefully, this isn't a recurring issue
raze
I'm having the same issue as well, running NC 1.1, Autonooter 3.0.
For me I can try to sync it and it doesn't crash, but it doesn't sync either, it just sits there. It DOES crash if I try to archive a message in my inbox. (But if I apply a label to the message and then archive it, it works. Go figure.)
I've been able to sync using the Titanium Backup data wipe method (followed by a reboot in most cases), but it has persistently flaked out again for no apparent reason. Sometimes it would work for a few hours before flaking, or sometimes it would flake again almost immediately. I have literally no idea what's causing it.
I really hope somebody figures this issue out. I'm running out of ideas of things to try...
Ditto 1.1 Autonooter 3.
the android email app works perfectly.
Gmail, not so good. Did the "add account" thing where I re-added my existing account to gmail and calendar started working perfectly But not gmail.
Wiped using Titanium but it still stalls.
However, if I go to labels in gmail and select "ALL" it'll sync. And it'll stick, after a few minutes. But this manual sync is the only way I've found to have it work.
I have been having this problem recently also. Gmail and everything worked at first, for maybe about a day and then it stopped syncing. I tried clearing the data using Titanium but now it just crashes every time I try to open it. Presumably because it is trying to sync upon opening. Not sure how to fix this now.
As a side note, since doing this it seems that the Youtube app is crashing upon opening now also.
I ended up switching to the K9 email app which has more options than the gmail app. I still wish I could get gmail to work out of principle, but this has solved my problem.
I don't think it has anything to do with using latest autonooter as I used the prior method to get 1.1 and I have the same problem. Common seems to be 1.1.
Oddly enough the Gmail app started working again for me yesterday with no changes in between. Then tried it again today and it was no longer working. Tried again to wipe the data using Titanium and nothing happened.
I did learn yesterday though that the Gmail app was able to connect to the Gogo in-flight wifi even without paying for a connection. None of the other apps were able to connect.

Youtube instaclosing when opened

I am having an issue with youtube on my book. Whenever. I try to open it it closes instantly. I used the autonooter on 1.01, haven't made any modifications after that besides installing some apps

You need to install titanium backup then click on the backup/restore tab at the top. Then go down to the youtube app select it and then click wipe data. That should fix it.
Go to Titanium and wipe data for YouTube. It's likely conflicting with another Google login.

Marketplace stuck at "starting download", gtalk, gmail, youtube all work

so it's been a while since I've been on the XDA forums from my windows mobile days. Just bought and rooted my Nook and I've made my return to the forum.
So my problem is that I can't get marketplace downloads to work. I rooted my Nook Color (1.1.0) with Autonooter 3. Everything went exactly as it should, synced my youtube and gmail and gtalk. I've been able to download and install apk's from the internet and have the amazon marketplace that will download and install apps. I've tried everything from resetting the caches from gmail, gtalk, youtube, marketplace, like everyone has suggested in other threads. I've installed titanium backup and did the data wipe on the various apps, I've tried signing in/out of my gmail in the browser. I can't seem to get the marketplace to download.
any thoughts?
when i first rooted, my nook did this as well, i just rebooted and it worked, try to reboot once or twice to see if it works.
Strange as it sounds you need to be logged in to Google Talk for the market apps to download. Also, if you keep the stock launcher you won't see the apps in the Extras until you do a full reboot, but you can launch them from the notification bar.
Try unmounting your SD card...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
unfortunately, all of these have already been attempted and failed.
as a side note, my gtalk just stopped working, crashes when I try to open it, even after a data wipe (titanium) and reboot.
I had the market working, until I changed the order of the accounts ( I have now primary a google apps and secondary a gmail account) When it worked was inverted in the order. I went the manual way to delete the account that appears in the nookdev wiki.
I suspect this is the cause. Now I'm tryng to keep the calendar sync with the google apps account and get the marketplace to download anyting.
Do you have the same situation?
Somebody with a clue to get this work?
I'll keep investigating. I'll post solution if I find it.
Cheers.

I had the same problem but I finally found an answer from someone on a different site. Turn your Nook off, put the SD card back into the slot, hook the USB cable back up and plug it into your computer (not sure if this step was necessary but it worked so I'm leaving it in), then unplug everything, remove the card and restart.
Hope this helps!

Random Titanium Backup Question

After searching the forum I cannot find the answer, so I am hoping someone has run into this issue as well.
Everytime I flash a ROM I restore my apps and app data from Titanium (no system data), which works fine every time. However, one of those times I decided to run the Market Doctor and "fix" the market links. What I forgot about before I did that is not all of my apps come from the Android market, some come from the Amazon market. So the apps from the Amazon market are now associated with the android market and show up as needing to be updated, which fails of course because some are paid apps on Android so the download/install is declined. I have tried uninstalling from Android and reinstalling from amazon, then restoring data only from Titanium, but the Android market still hangs on to them. Is there anyway to "unfix" what Titanium did via the Market Doctor? This also applies even after wiping and installing a new ROM because it is now associated with the Android market on their end, not only on my device of course. A wipe data of the android market doesn't work either.
Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Had the same problem but i use app manager now and it gives me the option to unlink the app from amazon but the funny thing is it still shows up randomly. So i gave up on it.

1) Open Titanium Backup
2) Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
3) Find the App which is now wrongly associated with the Android Market
4) Long press on that App in the App list
5) Click "Detach from Market"
I don't know of any way to do this in bulk, but this is what's worked for me
