Curious how you achieved this. Mine just closes automatically
I just tried slingplayer as well and does same thing. Some programs just won't run on it at this time I think.
I have it working...sometimes. It's strange, about half the time it'll run ok and the other half it just closes like you guys have seen. It seems to have something to do with either free memory or another program using the sound system. I'm still trying to narrow it down, but it DOES work.
Did you modify accounts.db by chance?
No. The only system level changes I've made are nooter, multitouch and direct app installs (all done to the letter by the instructions on NookDevs). I've got Dolphin HD, Angry Birds, Slideme, SlingPlayer and AndTask installed.
It works for me but sometimes I have to restart it about 10 times to make it work.
Try opening it in landscape vs portrait.

That doesn't seem to have an impact as far as I can tell... When it does start it's always in landscape regardless of what the screen was before. It starting at all is still hit or miss even when already in landscape.
Well I figured out a system to get slingbox working (for me atleast). Run advanced task killer, try to open slingbox 3 times, if it doesn't work just repeat as necessary. Now mine boots every time now.. weird...
what version are you all running?
I have it working, but the picture quality is not very good. I have the HD box, and all I get is SD crappy quality.
mines work fine
Working fine for me as well.
Most of the posts not working are old. Maybe its a 1.0 vs 1.0.1 issue?

Mine works with no problem, but I'm running an old version.
Slingplayer works for me with my Slingbox ProHD but I can't get to the menu to change the input (device) nor can I edit the slingbox properties.
Hi,
I got my nook rooted. Thanks to everyone that created the tools. after I got youtube,gmail and market working, my youtube no longer works.
So I was going to install the new youtube from market. I went to market and searched for youtube, it comes back and says 580 results for "youtube". but it only shows 10 and i don't see any way to go to a next page and the official google youtube app is not in the first 10.
How can I page through the market's apps? and once i get that figured out, is it ok to uninstall the youtube app and install the new one from market, or will that mess up my nook?
this is my first experience with android, and i must say it's amazing how much stuff is out there for it!

Hello there. I was wondering how you use the droidx id to fool the market? Thank you in advance.
Hey folks,
I have an issue I'm oping someone can help me with. When I visit the market, I can only see a few options when looking at the selected apps. Only the top paid, or top free show up. May be something simple, I just cant figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Once the search results pop up, turn your NC to landscape and more will load as you scroll. No scrolling in portrait mode. Kind of a bug...
turn it landscape or install app brain market.
This is due to some issue with market on our large screen in portrait mode only shows 10.
I also have a question. Is there any way to change the build.prop to allow the full market? I know its possible cause I changed it on my rooted DX but it doesn't work on the NC.

Thanks for the input. I figured it was something simple that I was missing.

Pretty much what it says in the thread title...I just did a Market update on my CM7 install and it showed an update for the Nook app to support magazines and newspapers. The only major functional difference between the stock reader and the market reader now is kids' read-to-me books. Nice update!!!
That's great, although it is lame that kids books aren't supported yet, even the *pad supports those!
Just updated, and couldn't get anything to work right! Just cleared the cache and rebooted to see it that helps
Great will update that's what was missing

Well allllright! Now I don't have to resort to annoying work arounds to read The Onion and Asimov's Science Fiction on the market Nook reader. It supports more magazines now too (for example, PC Gamer was "Nook Color" only, now it's "Nook Color" and "Nook for Android (Tablet)" which apparently means us...makes me curious how it's deciding what is a tablet and what isn't, if it makes a distinction...screen resolution I presume), so it's work a look for anyone who got some magazines on the Nook Color and can't read them now because they are on CM7 or something.
I think the interface is a bit better as well.
My books disappeared
I have a number of books loaded on my SD card( in the correct directory). After the update the books don't show up.
Any ideas?
edit: They showed up. Just had to wait a few minutes.

I'm not sure what to say, I didn't have any problems. Have you tried refreshing the the app? (that is, presing the refresh button up near the top of the screen underneath the search button within the app?)
I can't get the update to run on my nook color with 1.2 and manualnooker. There's an icon but when I tap it nothing happens no force close screens no error messages nothing. It's like the app isn't even installed.
I've got the same issue on my stock rooted original. Maybe it's not working because I haven't updated to the newest software version.
I also tried running it on my nexus, but my magazines will not show.

I'm running CM7, but why are you guys trying to get it to work? You can just use the slightly superior still stock Nook Color reader. I mean, you know, go for it...just curious.

Not everyone has stock (rooted or not) still intact? Never mind, I gotcha (Thought you were referring to the earlier posters rather than later)
On another note, going to the store (and for that matter, any top-bar or bottom bar menu items, like menu, go to library (if in store), info, search) takes a long time to register. It's not my screen, because I can swap in and out of other apps and hit those spots without any lag or problems. Menu is not working for me at all

Its not possible to run Nook app if you are running Stock... doesnt matter which version... at least i never got to run and always found ppl stating the same
some questions
Running cyanogenmod 7.02.
Is it possible to "read in store" when I am in B&N?
Using the nook app, do I have to load the books on the SD card? Can I put them into internal memory?
Thanks in advance
How to get if in Canada
Whats the best way for a Canadian to get this app since the Market restricts it.

I spoke to one of the Nook app devs about the near impossible task of pressing the buttons in the upper right corner, when they released the beta of this last week. He said they are working on fixing this.

Look up Market Enabler in Google Market. Tricks Google Market into thinking you're in the US.

Bummer about the small buttons on the top right of the app..
FYI, search will work in app if you use the CM7 Tablet tweek search button. It will call up the BN apps search dialogue box, provided you have the option toggled on to show the search button on the status bar.
Worked great, for my phone

That was a great solution and worked like a charm. I'm hoping to find the APK somewhere so I can load it on my Transformer.

Good, that's about my only real complaint about it right now.
Looks like they didn't fix sideloaded books showing their covers. The nook app is the ONLY reader app that doesn't show my sideloaded books covers. Every other one i tried they work fine. Annoying.
Just be careful what you touch.. I was looking at magazines and saw NatGeo and thought hey, look, maybe I can preview it. So I tapped "Current Edition". Nothing happened. Tapped it again and it confirmed purchase for $6 for a single edition.
I've emailed B&N telling them to remove this and credit my CC back and that they should fix their horrid user interface.
First off it should VISIBLY change when there's money to be paid. Button changes color or BETTER the button is in a different position, such as a pop-up window that says "Your credit card will be charged X dollars, purchase/cancel". Not the same button that apparently is so laggy it doesn't update in time for folks to not realize tapping it twice in a few seconds will purchase it.
Meh.
THIS THREAD IS NOW OBSOLETE - GO HERE FOR A MODDED APK THAT WORKS WITH THE XOOM
Known compatibility (not sure if this would change between roms, but I thought I'd include it):
Wifi Xoom with stock rom
Wifi Xoom with tiamat rom
Wifi Xoom with Eos nightlies
This method has been mentioned in a few other threads that discuss how to run hulu on our Xoom but I figured I would try to contribute with a bit of a guide for those that may need it. I take no credit for this method, its simply something I came across in numerous locations (including XDA and somewhere else for my Motorola Photon - same method works) and would like to consolidate the information for other Xoom owners.
On to the guide...
Root access is required for this method to work as well as Titanium Backup. If you do not have root access and do not want to root, you can use the hacked flash apk that allows you to watch hulu in a browser on your Xoom. This information can be found here.
1. You will need to first download this Zip Folder.
Inside you should find 3 files.
2. Take these files and move them to your Titanium Backup folder (where all the backups are stored). All three files need to be moved here.
3. Open Titanium Backup. Toggle on over to the Backup/restore tab and scroll toward the bottom. You should now see the HuluPlus app here.
4. Click on Hulu Plus and select Restore..
5. The key step! You must select App + Data. Selecting only App will result in Hulu+ being restored but upon opening, indicating that your device is not supported. Select App + Data!
And there you go. Open Hulu Plus and you can begin watching. Unfortunately this is a backup from a phone so it automatically switches to portrait mode and really isn't designed for tablets. If you have an app like Orientation Switch that can lock your orientation for you, you can set it to landscape for the time being and that will make things a bit better.
I know this may come across as a bit of a redundant thread, but I thought I'd try to contribute, as XDA has helped me out a lot. Also, if you could please provide feedback if it worked for you/didn't work for you that'd be great! Enjoy
Still not working for me

Can you elaborate please? What exactly is not working?
Basically have the same rooted set up as you do. I have uninstalled, downloaded, restored through Titanium several times and it loads but still says device not supported and I cant go any further. I do restore app+data. Any other thoughts?
Did you install the hulu APK (the normal way, sideloading it like any other apk) and then backup -> restore?
And are you running on stock honeycomb or Tiamat?
I did not side load apk.. I had originally downloaded apk and installed then I uninstalled and put files in Titanium backup folder and restored. I saw a few posts that said all you needed was the restore. I have Tiamat

OK so you must be my lucky charm. I shut it down and restart and it works like a champ. I'll let you know if I have any problems. Thanks
Awesome good to hear it worked!

To be clear does this mean you HAVE to watch it in landscape? Normally hulu wen you click play (on my Evo for example) automatically goes into landscape anyway and that's a "phone" so i am a bit confused by this statement. Or do you just mean the menus and stuff are portrait instead of landscape like they normally would be on a tablet.
THANKS!

Your last part is correct. When you open the app with normal orientation (nothing preventing it from rotating) it will switch to portrait mode just as it would on your phone. However, just as on your phone, it will switch to landscape to play video. The only part that looks bad in portrait really is the initial screen, as it leaves 70% of the screen empty. After that it looks alright. It might just be me as well, but the menu screens in landscape mode seem to not like to load the preview image.

Thanks much.
I still get the "Device Not Supported" message
After a few restores of the app, its now working
Thanks much.
Did you happen to have a prior backup of the app or any instance of huluplus on your Xoom prior to trying the backup? I have tried this on my Xoom on a few different Roms with clean data and it works first time when I do it. Just trying to gauge why it doesn't work right away for some people
