My apologies if it has been posted prior. I did search.
For some reason,.. I love running the Kindle app on my Nook. ;-)

I run the Kindle app on the NC too. Who knows when the app will be updated though.

I run it too. Wonder what the tab version will really do different? As is it scales up good now, I thought maybe the market sent me a tablet version. Wishfull thinking, I know.

Can you elaborate a bit more, please? What version of Dolphin HD are you running? How did you access the apps tab from there?
Which image did you use for rooting?
The new Nooter image (2.12.15 released 14/Dec/2010) does all of these things for you. If you re-read the isntructions on Nook Devs you will see this spelled out for you.........
Interesting. The page must have been updated after I rooted. Very good tablet fr the price. May just reyurn my galaxy tab.

So are you saying that you actually used the new auto-nooter-2.12.15? And that you didn't sign into YouTube, then sync Gmail before firing up the Market?
I don't think I used the new version after all. I certainly did not follow the new steps. I had an existing account from my tab somaybe that made the difference. If there is any wayto tell which autonooter I am usingg I can check that. It was very sttage because at first I got an error message when connecting to marketplace directly but I was ableto getthere jsing the apps link from dolphin hd.

[Q] USA TODAY for Tablet APK?

Will anyone please post the APK for the USA today app for tablets? I believe Xoom's are the only device that can download the app since it's honeycomb+.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news
I'd like to work on getting it to run on a Nook Color running the Honeycomb preview and/or have it for when the Honeycomb official source is released.
Here you go.

I just stumbled on this today on the market from my laptop. Clicked to install from the laptop and it showed incompatibility with my tab (VeganGingerRC1/pershoots OC kernel). I thought it was just the gtablet, but after seeing this doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas? Thanx!
I get error parsing the package. Running Cyanogen 7. I got the cnn tablet version to install.
Thanks

New CNN App, others, not showing

I am getting tired of some of the quality apps not showing up in my Nook Market. I am using CM7.
eBay, Gowalla, Amazon, now CNN (and a few others) do not show up. I have to Bluetooth them over from my phone to get them installed (and even then it's a pain when they have an update).
Anyhow, will this ever be fixed? Can the dev's somehow fool the market into beleiving that the Nook meets all of the requirements so that all of the basic missing apps show up?
Just curious if there is ANY hope in the future on this....
I believe i see the problem. I went onto the web market, and looked at the permissions, and i think it all comes down to them requiring this:
"# Hardware controls:
take pictures and videos"
Somehow, you would have to make the nook tell the market that it can take pictures/video, which should then make it compatible. I don't know how easy this is though, so i will leave it to a dev..

There are 5 or 6 apps I use on my Droid (1) that I cannot locate in the market on my NC because of this camera permission. VERY FRUSTRATING! I'm sure the devs will create a workaround for this eventually (i hope!)...
I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing it out.
Please. I would really appreciate it very much.

Well, yeah it'd be nice if they could just disable the camera feature. Apps crash if you force 'em and they try to use the camera, so caveat emptor
I ported the .apk of the new CNN app from my Epic thru Dropbox, it won't install on the Nook....

I didnt try the CNN one yet (I tried it on my phone and it was ok, but nothing like the HC on the Xoom version) but I got Amazon on my nook with Cm7 without any problem, then loaded all my apps that I had from my phone.
I loaded it by going to Amazon.com and loggin in, then it loaded to my device pretty easy (maybe one more step, but easy).
Battery on Nightly 40 was not good, i left it at 64% last night and when got home from work it was 8%. Waiting for the recharge now and then will load #41 and see if anything is better. Sorry for the long Ramble on the amazon question.

CNN works fine on my Nook. Had to grab the apk from my Fascinate.
Dalingrin : we look forward to whatever you can do!

The eBay, Amazon, CNN, and Gowalla app all download and work on a stock rooted nook with the newer market update. The eBay, Amazon, and Gowalla apps are all on the amazon market, have to tryed to download from there? I am without my personal computer for a few more weeks or else I would look into the problem for you, it should be a simple code change to get it to work on CM7.
Here's the apk for CNN that works on the NC.

Dalingrin said he could fix this, does that mean I should be looking for a it in a recent CM7 Nightly?

[Q] 1.4.1 OTA

Has anyone had the B&N 1.4.1 OTA happen to them? I know 1.3 was a disaster for my wife and I, which I have only recently recovered from thanks to you guys. But has Armageddon actually occured?
1.4.1 loaded on my wife's nook and she hated it. It had a lot of problems connecting to the book and app store. I just put her on CyanogenMod 7 and she likes it a lot more
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I manually updated, then rooted it. I quite like it, but I'm not a long-time B&N user. I previously ran CM7 on this thing since the day I purchased it in July 2011. All the B&N stuff works, as does the Market and sideloading. For now, at least, I'm staying with 1.4.1.
Was yer swife's NC rooted? Was she at 1.2 or 1.3? Thanks for listening. BCNU...K2CQW

Zinio

I've been trying to find information on how to get Zinio working on my NST. I have googled and looked everywhere for information on this. Does anyone have it working out there? I've tried to download Gingerbread versions of Zinio, but they don't seem to work. Am I missing something, or am I just out of luck?
The Zinio website states that the Android app is not compatible with the "Nook device". Presumably they mean one of the tablet forms, so if it won't run on those, it certainly won't run on the NST.
rooted

thanks for your reply. However, Zinio is compatible with rooted nook devices. I have a nook color and a Nook Tablet both of which have been running Zinio just fine. My question is about gingerbread compatibility with Zinio. I wonder if anybody has experience with that. Since my nook simpletouch is rooted, I thought it might be a possibility. the website is accurate about non rooted devices, but not rooted ones.
Gingerbread compatibility seems irrelevant, our NST isn't even close, we're running 2.1 Eclair.
