I have Zeam running. It is my preferred launcher. Had to search for the apk online because it's not in the Market on HC. Installed via ADB. Had to go to Preferences - General - and check sensor rotation to make it rotate when the NC was rotated.
Seems to work just fine.

For those that have loaded the Nook.app, have you actually been able to load and read a book? I have installed the Nook app on two different Honeycombed units. The units will synchronizes with my Barnes and Noble account and I can download my books. I can then select the table of contents sections of the books and even see my bookmarks in a book I am currently reading. However, when I then select a section to read (like Chaper 1 or a bookmark), all I get is the spinner on a blank page indicating the book is loading without any page ever appearing. I have left it try to load as long as 15 minutes on both Nooks without an actual page of the book ever appearing.

It definitely is buggy. I had to log out/log in again for my library to reappear. I've been able to d/l a book - but when I click on it I just get the spinner on a blank page. I can interrupt the spinner by clicking the Settings softkey and going to the table of contents. Clicking on a chapter gives me the same results you're seeing.
I'm going to say that, at least for the two of us, the Nook app is a no-go on HC right now.
Pocket Legends from their website does not install, says "your app was not installed"
It's not in the market, anyway to get all apps to show up in market yet?
Sweetness on my Nook!
Ran Honeycomb 2g image all day today, showing off at work. It ran well enough to use internet and install some apps on my breaks . So far got Market to work correctly by wiping market cache and framework data followed by a reboot.
Working Apps so far include:
Winamp
Zeam
Perfect Viewer
Jorte
Dolphin HD
So far the only program that hasn't worked fully is Beautiful Widgets, but I only tried one widget so far.
I am very impressed with the progress of this development process. Kudos to everyone involved. Amazing work and thank you!
Thanks for the list
Launchers are flaky, but usable
I have been trying to duplicate the problems w/Launcher Pro and ADW, but both seem to work OK after a reboot. After installation both hang when invoked, eventually presenting a 'force close/wait' dialog, but this no longer happens after the first reboot. Can someone w/problems try rebooting to see if it helps?

I am pretty new to this world of G1 ROMs and rooting. From posts I have rooted the phone, put on the latest Cyanogen ROM, got an 8 Gb Class 6 SDCard and setup 3 partitions.
I was wondering ... what applications and settings do people recommend???
I just found out today about the better onscreen keyboard and feel like an idiot for not using it sooner.
I currently use:
Steel instead of the regular Browser
Handcent SMS instead of messaging
SnapPhoto instead of Camera
Qik instead of Camcorder
WeatherBug
Babbler Lite for Facebook
YouMail for Voicemails
Twidroid for Twitter
Other apps I have and use (not as frequently are):
Wireless Tethering
Google Voice
Google Maps
Places Directory
Google Talk
IM
Widgets:
Scoreboard
FML
Power Control
Search
Since I update with Cyanogen's experimental ROM I do not use a theme.
I appreciate any feedback. I just don't want to miss anything like I did with the better on-screen keyboard.
I would recommend the normal programs for things like the camera, browser, or messaging. we have modified versions of them in the android development forum. i use bloo for facebook, and get visual voicemail(T-Mobile) for voicemail
I got the TasKiller app, it comes with 2 widgets, a kill all button and a taskbar to show you running programs. Its handy if you ever get a lot of apps
i personally find after trying a few that advanced task killer runs the absolute best

Messsages - ChompSMS / SMS Handcent
Facebook - Bloo / Babbler
Twitter - Twidroid or iTweet

Su file browser & Terminal
itweet for twitter
Quick Boot - free in market

The most important app for quickly working on your phone is SU File Browser. Unless you are a purist and only like the terminal (which I certainly respect), you should have this app.
I use all the standard apps, don't see a reason to use replacements. I use Bloo and twidroid for facebook and twitter.

Anyone object to starting a list of apps that are confirmed working? I got my Viewsonic GTab yesterday and after spending hours rooting and reading these awesome forums it is starting to get useful. I've been hunting for install packages and had trouble finding a lot of them, but luckily I have a Droid X so I've been able to use the app market on it which has a lot more apps to choose from. Here is the list of applications I can confirm work on my ViewSonic G Tablet.. I'd love to hear what you have and what I should get for it.
Adober Reader
Android Mate
Angry Birds
Auto Memory Manager
Yahoo Fantasy Football
Gmail
Guns'n'Glory
Hearts! Free
Maps
Market
Mortplayer Music <- awesome for mp3's stored on secondary sd card
Pandora
Quickoffice
Robo Defense
Root Explorer
Skyfire
The Weather Channel
Tweetdeck
Google Voice <-- installs, but having problems getting setup complete
Hope someone finds this helpful... This gtab has so much potential, would love to see it get tons of support.
Pocket Legends: pocketlegends.com / android-download
Dolphin HD Browser
Fruit Ninja
Air Controller
Rock Player Universal
Not specifically any apps that work, other than to say that I sideloaded
FBReaderJ
to STOCK 1.01 TnT fw.
(OK I did have a minor contribution.)
Anyways, it'd be nice to list the fw that you're using and any other modifications that you may have made to it when presenting your lists. i.e. any particular extra tweaks that you had to do to get something to work, updating nVidia GPU driver, etc.

Sideloaded the apps via SD card (standard build).
You guys should compile these here: http://wiki.tegratab.com/index.php/Main_Page
Also, there could be lots of other stuff added if someone wants to help.
Wouldn't it be shorter to compile a list of apps that don't work? I'm on CM B4 and every app I've wanted installs. Sometimes you need to unmount SD card or some other tricks but that's a pretty short list.

Yep, I think that you've hit on the best idea, but break down the lists to the various stock(sideloaded apps) and cutom fws(either market or sideloaded) each with thir own section and notations for things that had been tried to get the app to function and the reason why it doesn't if known.
I'll add one.
Google Sky Map. Works - partially. The program doesn't detect the G tablet's compass (listed as a feature on several sites) correctly, so that when you pan down to the horizon it spins. It also doesn't rotate well when panned side to side for the same reason. This happens on all current firmware releases.
Help with loading nook and kindle apps
I purchased the viewsonic tablet on Friday and have been trying all weekend to find a way to get nook and kindle apps on my tablet. Tried a sideloader but to no avail. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
hmmmm....
When I started this thread I had only rooted my G-Tab and installed the OpenGL update. Many applications I tried to install did not work.
Since then I've installed TnT Lite 2.02 using the following thread as guidance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
Most applications I download now work. So yes, it is probably a good idea to list the apps that DON'T work. For all those who have not installed TnT Lite or zPad or something similar, you really are NOT taking full advantage of this tablet. It is freaking awesome... and fast..
Looking forward to what future updates bring...

Just read the threads on adding the android Market...
You'll need root, and then just copy/push (however you want to do it) a few files to your phone (some in system/app, /system/lib, system/etc/permissions and system/framework).
Once you do that and and sign in to your GMail account it's little more than clearing Market data and then force closing it to get access to pretty much the full market. I installed both the Kindle app and the Nook app directly from the android Market.
The information on how is here in these forums.....check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
Hey guys
I'm an android Nexus One owner and I recently bought an iPad and, as expected, it is driving me crazy because it is so dumbed down.
I bought it to showcase some website layouts and as a drawing tablet to make mock-up websites while I am out. I use 2, Sketcher and Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile.
Can anyone check these apps to see how they run on a GTab?
Moved to themes and apps
So I have been able to get appbrain 5.51 and newest fastwebinstaller2.11 loaded on my Nook. I have a seperate account on appbrain.com for my nook setup. After a little trial and error I was able to get Angry Birds and a few other protected apps to load using fast web installer.
Seems that once I have installed a protected app using appbrain they show up in the market as well.
NOTE I have only tried a couple protected apps so far. If folks have a list I am willing to try any, I just am not sure what is protected and what is not. I have not ran into but a few I could not see in the market.
Steps
1.Install Appbrain 5.51
2.Install FastWeb installer 2.11
3.Setup Appbrain.com account
4.Run Appbrain app on Nook, login to account setup in step 3
5. Go to preferences and enable fast web installer to your appbrain account
(note the first time I did this I got can't enable, went to settings>app>fasteweb clear cache/force close, restarted app brain and it worked) I need to go over this again and figure out exactly what I pushed.
6. Now if 5 worked, search either via appbrain app, and install or via appbrain.com must be on wifi for this to work of course. If your in the appbrain app you will see three options at the bottom of the app your looking at, share/market/install. hit install!!
Hopefully this works for folks.
I am running 0.6.8 on sdcard, 1.1ghz.
Helped another with the 0.6.7 on sdcard all inclusive image get setup and it seems to work.
WARNING do not use the same appbrain account on your android phone as appbrain will then push apps to both devices.
Good luck

I've been searching for an RSS reader that allows to read the feeds offline, but I wasn't able to find anything.
There is no problem installing GrazeRSS and FeedMe, however I get errors when trying to log in with them.
FeedMe supports Feedly only and it shows the Moved temporarily link and then nothing (other apps using Feedly do the same).
GrazeRSS supports Feedly, The Old Reader and Newsblur. Can't log into any of them.
JustReader supports BuzQuz and Feedly. Can't log into Feedly.
GrazeRSS is an open source app, so can be potentially modified to work on Nook Simple Touch.
Luckily gReader works on the NST and allows to share articles to Pocket and Readability. Didn't manage to share via EvenClip since I can't install onto NST.
problems with gReader on NST
After testing gReader for a day I'm not so happy about it. The major problem is a lack of e-Ink theme. You may support this request at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/g_reader/wcn6jLFQaY0
Another problem for me is with scrolling. When I scroll down in many cases it scrolls up. Tried to push harder and it helps sometimes, but still far away from usable.
And I can't find a way for NoRefresh to work with gReader. When I activate NoRefresh via the 3 downward taps, it seems that gReader thinks this is a gesture for it, so NoRefresh is not turned on.
I would also like to find a reader app that works with feedly on the NST. I would probably use my Nook to read my feeds more than actual books if I could get something working.
The best use for nook apart from reading is filtered news. I have installed a version of News and Weather which opens the links in my default browser (Opera Classic (Mobile)) and have setup my custom news keyword filters as on my other android devices.
RSS is much better. Best RSS app is gReader+ which does not have ads like greader. Reader+ is the second best reader IMO.
Since google shut down rss synching in July, you have a few options to have your rss feeds stored online for rss readers to setup with. Feedly is best and has its own web(works in opera classic) & app(not installable) reader too but it is too much like a magazine for me. Others are theoldreader (free) & bazqux (30 days free but good for import/export before 30 days). These are good as your rss account synch, their readers are not good for me.
I have tested many rss apps mentioned before in nooktouch threads. None of them are working properly. Only greader from market worked and imported my feeds. Problem is it has ads. I tried numerous apps mentioned here but most are dead, others fail import from feedly or theoldreader.
I tried about 20 versions of greader+. The old ones do not have import from feedly/theoldreader. The new ones fail on import mostly fail after pressing import from feedly/theoldreader, those few greader+ that do not and attempt stop saying untrusted network certificate error.
Very recent versions of greader+ actually do not run on NTS 2.1 android, screen just flashses and aborts. If anyone finds a working rss reader which imports subscriptions from feedly or theoldreader or bazqux, or import from files xml/opml let us know here what app and what version or even upload link or file. If I find a solution I will post.
Also import your subscriptions from feedly into theoldreader and bazqux and then export them (download) as both xml & opml files to backup on your PC, also zip & email to yourself and store in your keepers email folder..
In theoldreader site, in options setup a password and then to import elsewhere from theoldreader your id is the gmail email address and your password is the one you just setup, not your gmail password. Feedly uses gmail id & gmail password.
I actually use feedly for my rss management. Since feedly app does not work on nook I found a substitute. It's called "Feedme" and it works quite cool. Have bright theme so you could say it's somewhat optmised for einks. Only minus is no screen refresh. I just put my nook to sleep and wake it up if i want my screen refreshed.

Interesting. How did you root your device? Do you use a custom kernel?
Personally I used ZeroChaos + NookManager + NTGAttack + NoRefresh + custom kernel #166 on my NST.
Feedly login used by most to authorize access feeds crashes with android 2.1 on NST. Feedme like many crashes on that for me.
Best way is to register with feedly, first, then via that with theoldreader, bazqux & ino reader And to import the xml & opml format file they generate to download.
greaqder was synched as I said before but it has ads in article list.
I got RssDemon from market to synch last night which is better as layout is similar and also gives dark theme. Better yet the ads appear not in article list but in article. It also opens links in my default browser, opera Classic aka mobile.
Better yet, I downloaded a copy of the paid version RssDemon elite last night with the license file to get rid of the ads.
JustReader also synched from market, similar enough layout to the two above, and typed in liNk (sdcard/feedly.opml) to synch feeds from file. Also a license file I downloaded worked. Exit generates crash log but does not matter as settings are remembered. Backup file generation does not work but with liceNse is ad free.
Best is ad free licensed rssdemon now, install Rssdemon elite old file, do not run, install license apk. then licensed justreader (market apk). Third best is greader from market with ads.
Best would be greader+ but newer ones crash, older ones feedly synch crashes, oldest oNes before July worked with Google rss only which is nowdead

I haven't seen any ads in free greader. But ZeroChaos filters ads somehow, so may this is the case.
And I don't mind paying for greader+ if the add an e-Ink theme https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/g_reader/wcn6jLFQaY0/V7XtZEutPIgJ and most importantly fix the problem with NoRefresh.

Zerochaos (i disabled root in config.txt) got stuck in launcher choice popup at start and many apps kept crashing while frozen. Had to restore a nandroid backup from yesterday. There is a clash with latest uimage I have probably.
The difference between greader & plus is the ads. I tried Zerochaos (Zerolab) as wanted adfree & anysoftkeyboard & Zeam (latest ones don't work). Can you upload these (/data/app or maybe in /system/app/)? Or at least tell us what versions they are?
AppBak generates a text file of installed apps/version number:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.moparisthebest.appbak&hl=en
P.S. No response from our friend. NVM. I tried from latest Zeam versions, a few days ago, but they didn't work on NST. Zeam Launcher is a free app, xda thread too, now sadly discontinued in favor of SickSky. I have used it as backup launcher, debugging etc., on my phones for a couple of years as it's so light. Usually use Nova. Versions 3.x don't work on NST. Versions 2.0.x work as do 2.2.x all the way up to 2.8.7 and 2.8.8. Versions 2.9.x and up don't work. Use v2.8.8. Advantage over ADW supplied with Glownooter is the dock can have more icons, I put 10 apps on it.
Also just installed a recent version of adfree, v0.8.66, seems to work.
I've figure out a workaround to the Feedly login issue: You can install the desired app on another android device, sign in to Feedly in the app there, and then back up the data, transfer it to the Nook, and restore it there. This worked for me for both JustReader and FeedMe, and probably works for any other app that runs 2.1. According to Feedly's API, they use OAuth with tokens that expire, but the app can refresh them. So if the app is coded correctly, in theory it should request a new token from Feedly without user input and you shouldn't see an expiration. However, if it does expire or require you to log into Feedly again for whatever reason, you would just need to redo the steps of authenticating on another Android device and then copying the data over.
Hope this helps!

I've been trying to do this but haven't succeeded yet. I installed FeedMe on my phone, logged in and transferreded both the folder at /mnt/sdcard/com.seazon.feedme/ and the file at /data/davlik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected] to the nook. I CHMODded both to match the native versions on the nook. So far it hasn't brought me success.
Is this the approach you are describing?

Sure.
In settings, custom news topics, add your own keywords of special interest + delete topics not wanted.
I really like the older version of News and Weather that doesn't open an external browser but the scrolling difficulty caused me to abandon it. The BBC news app is marginally better and at least the text is resizable. I just find that the constant switching back and forth between a feed app and the browser in the more "recent" version of News and Weather is painful.
I'm trying NewsHog now and it behaves marginally better for scrolling, offers an optional condensation of the article and then an option to open the full article in an internal browser with the same sort of scrolling issues. SIGH. I wrote to the developers and suggested an option to port scrolling to volume buttons but afterwards realized this was not a good idea because the app comes with a TTS feature (of no use on the Nook ST, of course).
So...is there a way to switch back and forth between the feed app and the browser without closing the browser and then waiting for it to reopen when you select the next item? Seems so clunky--even for a rooted Nook ST
The whole point of this news widget (developer stopped, search xda, another guy copied the app & put ads on it) is setting it up with your personal keyword filters for news topics. If you don't haVe any special iNterest keywords to search for, you might as well use any other general news app.
To list recent apps & switch to: clicking and holding on the home icon in the app: Button Saviour
That's the right arrow on all pages in the pics here:

I use the old pro version 1.5.2 (see list, it's in red) which works on NST, but the free version is in the NST sub-forums here too as part of an OS or something.

Listing current & recent (greyed) apps + switching to + killing (long-press):

Should Be on every anDroid homepage and/or dockbar
I think that I've found the problem with feedly auth, they use a certificate from RapidSSL that isn't included in android 2.1 if we include the certificate from GeoTrust Global CA (RapidSSL is an intermediate CA of GeoTrust) I think that should work
We all know the Simple Touch is running an ancient version of Android, and there's tons of popular apps that don't work. But there's actually a large amount of apps that do work with the NST, just older versions. I decided to make a small repository for older versions of apps that work with the NST (and other Android 2.1 devices as well).
Books & References
Google Play Books¹ (1.0.6) - APK
Aldiko Book Reader (2.1.0) - APK
Dictionary.com (3.1) - APK
Merriam Webster (2.1) - APK
Bible (2.4.1) - APK
News & Magazines
BBC News (1.3.4) - APK
CNN (1.2.0) - APK
Engadget (1.9.5.1) - APK
Productivity
Evernote (5.1.3.2) - APK
Opera Mini (12.1.4) - APK
Google Drive (1.2.228) - APK
PerfectViewer (1.9.2.2) - APK
Social
Plume for Twitter² (5.03) - APK
Games
Angry Birds³ (2.2.0) - APK
¹ Cannot view books manually uploaded to Play Books, there is a newer version that can but has major issues on the NST
² May have issues signing in to Twitter
³ Screen refresh bugs
These are just the first few apps, I'm going to be uploading many more as time goes on. Please feel free to leave a suggestion, and I'll do my best to find a version that works under Android 2.1 and the NST

This is a great idea and should be sticky'd.
I had trouble with newer versions of Dropsync - I would recommend 1.68 APK for that application. You can read my thoughts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43886167&postcount=7
I have previously posted a link to an old version of the YouVersion Bible app that work well here
Some apps still install fine from Play Store, for others certain old ones with version numbers I have working can mostly be found with a little googling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612340
Organized the list and added the Bible app
Thank you so much for posting all these apps - glad to find so much stuff that is working on my freshly rooted NST.
One question: The Kindle app can't seem to find my personal documents, and apparently that's an issue with Google Books, too. Does anyone know, how to get the Android-2.1.-kindle to recoginize my documents?
Or: Does anyone know of another e-reader that does the whole syncing of the last page read like Kindle and Google books?
I love being able to read on my phone and my e-reader without constantly having to find my place in the book after switching between the two? Is there any solution you could suggest?
(apologies if this has been solved elsewhere - my search did not turn up anything)
I appreciate every bit of advice!
The Olive Tree Bible+ app version 5.3 works, but the latest from the play store crashes.
The old version can be found here: https://www.olivetree.com/m/platform_android_20.php
This caused me great frustration, but I finally found a working version! FYI this app works with the hardware forward/back buttons without modification. Link pop-ups work great.
Just got the NST today
I have Play Books 1.3.5 running on nook simple & a glow, shows my books and can read, looks like 10pt text, unable to adjust anything, saves place etc. would like to try v1.4.5 found a reference somewhere but cannot find app, most leads lead to old pages.
Kindle App: Do you have a working apk for NST
Hi Folks,
Anyone help with a working Kindle App apk for NST? Direct link to apk or version number to hunt the web for would be great. Thanks.

That's odd, it works fine on my normal Nook Simple Touch. To adjust the text size, you will have to map a button (if only temporarily) to be used as the menu button using the Nook Touch Mod Manager app. Then pressing the menu button while reading will bring up options.

What exactly do you mean by that?
Do you want the Moon Reader .apk file?
Moon reader apk file compatible with the nook simple touch would be great.

Awesome! I'll test a little to see which one is the latest working version.
A post thank for you! :cheers:
