So I flashed the zip asop provided for the new market then I instantly got a force close error when I started my phone. So I used root explorer to delete the apk. I flashed the old gapps back. But I'm STILL getting the force close error and my market won't open. I thought flashing the old gapps would fix it but it didn't
I want to avoid nanding back.
Nevermind I found a fix.
Go into settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All tab, scroll down and click on market, then hit clear data.
That should reset the market app, when you open it again it should review the terms and conditions.

When I try to download an .apk file from the browser, it tells me "no application can be found to open this file". This happened after I installed the new marketplace. did i do something wrong??
I use 'Root Explorer' app to open files if needed. Maybe more info about yer phoon

oh. ha, sorry. Im running CM 6.1. I use clockworkmod recovery. it was doing fine until i installed the new marketplace.
If you're downloading from a site, like getjar.com or something, make sure you have "Install from Unknown Sources" allowed. I use Astro file manager to install them afterwards. You might want to try that one.
I've tried a bunch, and found the one I chose seems to do so much
But no matter, if you haven't already go through your command prompt and type su to gibe super user access to do its thong

Quick question, did you install the .apk after you downloaded it?
No, it didn't let me. But I can still see and use the new marketplace. It's just when I try to install an .apk from the browser. It says the whole "no application can be found to open this file." But when i go through Astro, it lets me install the apps there. It's like the package installer isn't being recognized or something in the browser...
And now it tries to open the apk with Gameboid. :/

Turn "allow installation of non-market applications" on, then try it again. It's in your settings menu under application settings. Let me know how it goes
I tried it, still nothing. :/

Don't install things from the browser then. Its not the new market that's causing the problem. What browser are you using?
Dolphin HD. I've tried that one, opera, and some the stock one and still nothing. But ya, it'll still let me get them from Astro. Thanx though. =]]

Just download ES File explorer and install from there. Browser is definitely not the best route for installing .apk's.
I'm having trouble installing this...I'm using root manager, and placing the apk into the system/apps folder. When I click on it it says installation blocked. And the reason I'm installing, or trying to install nook color tools, is so that I can change keyboards. So I'm stuck in a maddening circle.
Anyone want to show me the light? I don't know why I'm having so many issues...rooting and installing other apks went flawlessly.

Mine is in data/app, not system. Maybe try putting it there....?
Did you try installing it from your SD, without putting it in the internal memory first?
Also, after putting it in data/app or system/app, you could try simply rebooting without installing via Package Installer, and see if it shows up in your app drawer.

That's the thread - should be in the first post.
Yes, it works on 1.0 too.
If you have problems installing other APK's. Find the "Allow Non-Market Apps" Checkbox in NookColor Tools (it's in the app drawer).
Uncheck the box, recheck the box. NC might need a reboot but it worked for me. I tried installing with Astro and Appinstaller and neither would let me until I did this little trick.
I just put the APK's in the Root of the SDcard btw.

I am in exact same boat as above. I rooted with 1.00 and cannot get nook color tools. I want to unlock permissions and be able to download third party apps. I tried to purchase root manager from market but would not let me purchase. It stated, my cc was invalid.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I was pulling my hair out to try to install non-market apps... Unchecking and checking it again worked.
(When I plug in my nook, I don't see a "system/apps" or "data/apps" folder to put apks.)
That worked.
Thank you so much for all of your help with that. I was so frustrated. Now I just have to get the other issues worked out. Searching the forum for those.
HELP!!! I'm going crazy! I've put the nookcolor tools 0.2apk on my sdcard, then using root explorer am i suppoused to copy, or move the apk from my sdcard to system/apps, or to data/apps? So far i've tried both & nothing, what am i doing wrong? I'm rooted with autonooter & the market works fine, i just need to get nookcolor tools. One more thing, when they say reboot, that means back out of root explorer, & manually hold down the power button, & then turn it back on right? quickboot does not work, so this is all i can think of =' (

copy it to system/apps. Rebooting means hold power button down till a prompt asking if you would like to power down the device comes up. Hit yes. Device is now off. Hold power button again till it starts up. Release power button. It's booting up again....hence the term rebooting.
It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.
free ones can be restored...
tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

You have to click the small window at the top of the screen in root explorer that changes r/o to r/w. You have to do that in each directory you want to edit.

Yes, you have to enable non-marketplace apps in the settings or else it wont allow any apps other than those downloaded directly from the android app store. Its under Settings - Applications - Unknown sources.
Trying unchecking it and then checking it again. That worked for me when i was on auto-nootered stock.
I was able to get past this message by checking and unchecking Allow Non-Market Apps and rebooting, but I also created a system/app directory on the sd card and put my apks in there, this may or may not be necessary as I am still experimenting. I also made sure USB Debugging, Allow Mock Locations and Auto Mount were checked under the Development panel in NookColor Tools.

Where exactly do you find Settings - Applications - Unknown sources on an autonooted 3.0 Nook Color? If I go into Settings from the stock launcher, there is no tab for Applications. If I go into NookColor Tools I see two panels for Settings - one is for GSM which is all greyed out and one just reproduces the stock settings page. There is also a Manage Applications panel, which just shows installed applications.
update; no love
Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing's worked.
I have checked "Allow Non-Market Apps" under NookColor Tools (it was always checked). Interestingly, I am basically not able to uncheck this setting. I can uncheck it, but when I navigate away (or reboot) and then return to NookColor Tools, the box is checked (even though I unchecked it before).
I also made an /sdcard/system/app directory and confirmed that "USB debugging" and "Allow mock locations" are checked under settings>development.
No luck. When I try to install apps from the amazon store etc., I get the same error message: "Install blocked. Installation of download apks is not supported."
Thanks.

Try unchecking... then checking it again... without navigating away... then reboot (not really necessary)... and try it again.
Could it be that because it's a NC and the Apk is from Amazon?
If i were them, I'd make sure that my major comp didn't get the same love everyone else might get. i could be waaaaay off base tho.
I unchecked, and then immediately rechecked, without exiting NookColor Tools. I then rebooted, since the first time I did this without rebooting, I was still unable to install anything. I also found that I didn't need the dummy system folder on my sd card.

Here's my question to you. Do you have another Android device? If so try instaling it on that, if it doesn't work then you know it's the Apk file. And if it does then it might just be a compatible issue between Amazon and B&N.
Until you try everything, rule nothing out.
