Got a rooted nook through nookdevs.com. Mistakingly deleted contacts app in titanium backup app and not having backed it up. Now I have no more contacts app on my Nook. Now I am unable to log in to Gtalk and now I can not download apps in the market. Been looking of contacts.apk compatible with rooted nook but have not found one. Am I right that deleting my contacts app by mistake has something to do with my gtalk fail and android market fail? If yes please help. Thanks...
Are you sure it was just the contacts app and not the GoogleFrameworkServices.apk file as well?
I did not uninstall that. It was only the contacts app that I uninstalled.

I have a question about a Rooted Nook also. I used Auto-Nooter 3.0 and everything worked fine. I backed up the ROM last week and flashed HC from deeper blue. It was nice but I decided to go back to my old ROM. Now my Market acts strange. It won't let me look at my downloads, it just jumps back to the main Market page. When I view the Market online on my computer it doesn't seem to be linking to my Nook now because when I download something on the Market on the computer it doesn't download on the Nook as it did before. I also can't get my email to stay open.
My thought is to wipe date with Titanium Backup but I can't find any info about this. Has anyone had experience with this and have advice to offer?
Thanks.

I'm on the Motorola Droid using the BuglessBeast ROM and I've noticed an error that occurs where my text messenger will FC and when I try to reopen it, it won't open and force closes instantly. I have to restart my phone every time this happens and I don't know what's going on. I want to uninstall and reinstall it but I couldn't find it in the market. it's the stock text messenger that comes with the US phone. Anyone have information for me?
I could really use some assistance with this issue, anyone have any ideas? please!
For testing I would try a different txt app to, handcent is very good and u may like it more than the stock one. If you don't want to use a different app then I would flash the Rom or do a nandroid restore if u have a recent back up. Good luck.

I just re-installed the rom, I'm testing it now to see if it worked.
If still having problems you can try to fix the permissions. Should be in bb tool box. The other thing is I had this problem with chevyno1 v4.6 and gmail app. I extracted the app rom the rom zip and deleted it in the system/app folder with root explorer. Then rebooted and reinstalled with app extracted to sdcard by running the apk installer. It work after that. No more FCs.

Actually if I remember in the bb tool box you can enable godmode. That will allow you to edit the system/app folder without root explorer. You can use any file explorer if you don't have root explorer or don't want to pay for it.

apparently in BB tools, there is a way to delete mms and re-install it, it allowed me to start my messaging without having to restart my phone (the only way I could get messaging to work after fc) appreciate the help there guys, seems like it may work this time, crossed fingers
Long story short, gmail kept freezing on me so I used Titanium to uninstall it and now gmail doesn't show up in the market and the apk's that I download don't give me the option to install them.
Any ideas?
I was able to get the Android email program to sync with gmail, but I still can't figure out how to get the actual gmail program back on.
Sorry, didn't mean to hit "Thanks". Don't know where you got the gmail apks, but try putting one of them in system/app then reboot.
You also might want to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937752 but just run the commands for gmail

I assume you're running stock rooted.
Try this,
1. Download the signed Gapps.zip from here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 its in the second post.
2. Now from the zip file you downloaded. Extract the Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk. Using root explorer. Copy those files into system/app
(of course make sure you mount r/w)
4. Reboot your nook and you should have Gmail again.
Make sure you back everything up as always.
It worked for me. Hope it works for you as well.

I'd recommend doing what racks11479 said. But to see the system folder, get Root Explorer. It lets you see the deeper folders. Just don't break anything while you are down there.

I got Root Explorer, followed those steps, and nothing. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
You might not have the correct permissions set.
If you are able to ADB to your device. I've modified the honeycomb market install script from "jleecong" @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937752 for the Eclair Gmail only.
All you gotta do is extract the zip to your adb directory and run (double click) "GmailInstall.cmd" and you should be good to go.
**As always *Use at your own risk* and make sure you've backed up.**
Hope this works for you.

New Question
Since the OP's issue was resolved, I hope you won't mind me hijacking this thread. Does anyone know what the highest version (as in x.xx) off Gmail that will run on eclair rooted?

Wondering if the gmail from eclair might be the answer to a similar problem I have. Been rooted since version 1.0 and gmail app would sync nicely. Rooted 1.1 using the nookdev instructions and that is working fine except gmail simply doesn't sync unless I go into accounts, reenter my account data and the sync screen comes up and then it'll sync. The android email app works just fine. Syncs seamlessly. So would replacing things help?
You could always google it

Question about your script.... I have a Nook Color that I have rooted and all set up. I'd like to pass it over to my buddy, but need to change my gmail info for his. Would this essentially allow me to do that without having to unroot, restore, reroot then reregister?
I am looking for a way to completely root a device with my B&N and gMail info, then allow someone else to register/set-up the device with their info. Possible?
If you just go into settings and About Device and do a "Erase and Deregister" you should still have root. And once rebooted they will have the option of registering the device for the first time.
They will have to go through the LogicZoom welcome process as well. So you might want to guide them in that direction if they don't know what needs to be done to get youtube and market working for the first time.
I've just done it myself to see if it works and yes it does.
Please use my suggestions as a guide. All actions you take are "solely your responsibility"
Just make sure you do a backup "just in case" before you try this.

Thanks, I will try this again with them. I wish I could be in person, but this is a phone support situation for me (grrr).
From the way they described to me, the "Erase and Deregister" worked for the B&N part but my gmail account was still there. So it didn't completely remove their stuff. Google Talk and the Calendar are still stuck on my gmail and not theirs.
Will try again though, and if anyone else has input I would appreciate it, thanks!

I renamed my the stock Gmail.apk to Gmail.apk.old and the same for the stock GmailProvider.apk.
Then I did as you suggested through Root Explorer. Now I have no Gmail at all in my apps list after a reboot.
I tried to launch it directly from Root Explorer but it says "There was an error parsing the package."
I renamed the new files Gmail.apk.new and GmailProvider.apk.new and renamed old files back to their original. I rebooted and Gmail popped up again in my apps list.
Why did your method for the new Gmail files work for someone else but not for me? What went wrong?
After dealing with frustration after frustration with apps and HC, I decided to switch over to CM7. I backed everything up with Titanium Backup Pro then did a nandroid, then installed CM7 release 29. Everything went great with the install but I can not restore any of my backed up apps.
When I go to my backup/restore list, then select an app to restore, I get the dialog for app only or app + data. If I hit app only, it comes back and says that "App restore complete" but when I look at my drawer, the app is not there and in TB Pro, it still has the line through the listed app. If I hit restore app + data, I get the message App + Data restore failed. I've tried downloading the apps from the Market, then trying to just restore the data but that doesn't work either. I get the message that says it's complete but when I load the app the first time, no settings have been changed.
I also tried going into root explorer, changing the /system/app directory to R/W but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I've updated su and busybox from within TB and using the stand alone apps. I've tried unmounting and remounting the sd card. I've tried rebooting. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
I have the nandroid so I can go back to HC and try an alternate backup method but I'd love to get this just to work.
The version of Titanium Backup that I am using is 3.7.4.1.
Thanks.

There are three options in the Problems? menu.
Check Wiki
Update Busybox
Update Superuser
I looked at the wiki and it didn't provide an answer to this problem. I updated Busybox again and Superuser was already updated.
I have TB set to keep 3 backups. I went and did another backup then verified all backup files. Over 100 files, including some that I just backed up under CM7, came up corrupt.
Any ideas why the majority of files backed up are corrupt? Clearly depending on TB to backup apps on the Nook was a bad idea.

I'm having this problem as well. TB has never worked on any of my roms. I usually try to do a lot of searching before I post, I'm usually not the first to have problems. But I can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
I think you have to go into settings and into application settings then tick the box to allow unknown sources.

After flashing ROM and installing google apps, I get "Server error, Retry" message when trying to connect to Android Market. Doesn't matter if I try connecting using 3g or wifi. When I connect to the Market using my computer, I see all my apps listed as "installed". When I choose to install a new app from the Market using my computer, it shows that it's being sent to my phone, but my phone never gets it. Anybody know what's going on?
Nothing Google is working. Typing a search in the google search box forces web browser to close. Reset phone and entered info for google account, but I get the same error message.
Try this:
Go to Settings>Application>Manage Apps>All
Then scroll down and look for the Market app. Press the app, force stop, then clear data. Do a normal reboot just to make sure. Then see if that fixed it.

Yeah, tried that a couple times. Did it again, just for fun, with same result. Am I using the wrong google apps pack? I'll try a couple different ones. Really want google to recognize my phone again. Currently, no syncing of gmail, calendar, contacts, app updates, etc.
ok. Quick update. Found info on Cyanogen forum that recommended Re-flashing Cyanogen 7.1.0 and re-installing google apps pak. After I did this, my phone asked me to sign in to google accounts, and immediately started downloading all my Market apps. I was excited until, my status bar said "error downloading xxxx" for each and every app it tried to restore. After the 47th app, it finally stopped and gave the error message: "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
As it turns out, about 1/3 of my apps were restored properly. Not sure what to do about the rest.
Ah I'm sorry about that. I had the same problem before and all I did was clear data to fix it.
(For future reference, use titanium backup, downloadable from the market, to backup&restore your apps before flashing a new ROM. Make a copy of the Titanium Backup folder from your SD card and store it on your PC. That way, if you accidentally formatted your SD card, you'll always have a copy of the folder to restore your apps.)

Thanks. I did make a Titanium backup, but needed to install Titanium from the market in order to restore it. As it turns out, after rebooting the phone, the market app is working now, so I just decided to restore the apps I want manually. Currently, I am using my computer to look at my library of apps on the market, and clicking install to restore only the ones I really want. It's nice to see that all the ATT bloatware is available if needed, but it's not being forced on me.
Glad things worked out for you, eventually. Yes, that's a nice feature from AT&T. I don't like their apps it just takes up space. But if I need to sell my phone as stock its nice to have the AT&T apps back

I am the recent and happy owner of an HP touchpad dual booting webOS and android. I also have a nook color running android but unlike the touchpad, it's not running ICS. I used TB on my nook to back up several apps I'd like to move over to the touchpad. On the touchpad, I installed TB and had it run a back up of apps so it would create the folder. I then copied over the backup files from the nook into the TB folder on the touchpad. For some reason though, TB is not picking up the apps from the nook. It only sees its own backup files. Is there something I should do?
I can use file explorer, browse into that folder, find a backup file from the nook, open it and install the apk from there but that's not 100% and quite cumbersome.
I uninstalled tb and reinstalled it, pretty sure that's how I got it working. Its amazing how nice most of the games and apps work!

Thanks for the tip. It didn't take reinstalling to fix it but simply clearing TB's cache. This response gave me that idea
