No update for Angry Birds? - Nook Color General

Apparently Angry Birds has been updated to 1.5.1. However, its not showing up in the market for me (in fact, the app is now not listed at all).
I was able to see and perform the update on my phone (Android 2.2.1), which makes me think they bumped the requirements. What’s odd is that it was marked update (manual) on my phone, which is new to me.
I'm using market 2.2.6 on BN 1.1. Anyone else able to see the update?

I have the same problem. AB 1.4.2, AutoNootered 101 updated to 1.1... new market... no AB 1.5.1

I show AB in my list but it's not showing that it has an update.

I have the same problem. I searched for Angry Birds in the market and only found the Seasons version from Rovio. I am starting to turn into an Angry Bird.
Edit: Uninstalled it from my NC and tried to push it from the web with the Market and Appbrain. No joy. Backing up from my phone with Titanium, will transfer the file over and restore. Should work I think.

Used My EVO and Titanium
This is what I had to do to get the update for Angry Birds:
1) Updated the APP on my EVO
2) Backed it up in Titanium Backup on the EVO
3) Pulled the updated files from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ on the EVO
4) Disconnected EVO and connected NC
5) Pushed the updated files to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ on the NC
6) Restored Angry Birds in Titanium Backup on the NC

I can't restore from Titanium using the NC. No clue why. Getting ready to try this out with My Backup Pro now.

I was researching this elsewhere and found out that the new Angry Birds update doesn't show up on Nook Color because the new update is looking for an SMS service which the NC lacks.
Backing up on a different device and installing appears to be the only way (unless I've missed something)

Using nookie froyo here so that may be different from some here, but I didn't see the update either when it was released.
I searched and couldn't find it. In fact the seasons version was gone from my apps in the market as well. (still playable in app drawer though)
Yesterday Feb 9th updates for both versions appeared out of nowhere.
It seems that rovio fixed the SMS permissions thing and updated the market.

My phone doesn't have the update either since it's an old Hero. You mind posting the apk from your EVO.

what does the update do?

Forgot to mention that....mine failed too the first time and then they got pushed to the bottom of the list of my apps. I just tried again and it worked fine the second time.
I did have them set to auto update and after it failed that was unchecked.
Doubt that matters though.

wow, I am sorry about that I am not sure how that could have happened. I read somewhere that someone also had success by unmounting your sd then using appbrain, which I am about to try. Though, you may want to find that thread yourself, rather than taking my word at this point.
*confused
???? I installed Angry Birds just fine using a regular .apk install.
Sent from Eris with Froyo
There is a fix on androidcentral for apps hanging on install that may work. Move all apps to your phone then delete the folder on your sd card labeled .android_secure, then install and move apps back to your card.

Me too works great so many boards its incredible runs fine on xtr sense
I also had no trouble installing from a downloaded .apk. I'm running KaosFroyo V37. Is this related to the ROM each person is running?
I'm running 2.2 Froyo on my blackstone and I can't install it from SD card, I also tried AppBrain but Angry Birds can't be found.
Also, when trying this method, how can I move the apk file from my SD to my internal storage? It says I can't! And when I try unmounting it just sits there and says unmounting and not unmounting done or something.

its on the market, but for some reason after a reboot, the shortcut disappears and sometimes the listing for it on the downloads screen disappears.
I couldn't get it to run good at all for a while. I started using Celb3.7 and now updated 3.8 and it plays much better.

EA Games (Need for Speed Shift, The Sims 3, etc)

A) I've purchased these on my phone (Nexus One) but they don't show up on the market on the Nook Color (even with the new Market).
Does anyone know how to make them show up? (I've tried Market Enabler to no success as well).
B) Using Root Explorer, I took the apks from data\app on my Nexus One and put them in data\app on my Nook Color, and changed permissions. They show up in the launcher after reboot. However, on launch, it fails downloading the data saying that it's an unsupported device.
Has anyone gotten these games to work or know of a way to?
Are these commercial games authorized/licensed by device? I mean, you DL'd them for your Nexus One and now you seem to want to copy them to another device.

I doubt it. I've used plenty of other paid apps on both devices (such as Root Explorer, Titanium, Robo Defense, etc).
Well in my last two days of reading this nook color section I have learned allot. One thing I am sure of is that the Market place checks the device connected to it and only shows apps that will or should work on said device. I now games like the ones you have mentions have not been written to work on the resolution of this size screen so they will not show up nor can they install on the device.
I happened to get NOVA HD downloaded but it would only show like half the screen. Most games or apps that are not compatible yet will not even install. I am sure you we will have to wait till these games are supported for the Galaxy Tab.

I got NOVA running on mine as well. Believe it's version 3.50, (not positive). Was already running the Spare Parts App and never had to mess with the compatibility mode with it. Game works great.
I tried NFS, got it installed and running, but its a no go. Graphics are reduced to just a couple shadows.
I have Nfs working like a charm on my NC..

The paid apps follow your gmail account. I got all of the EA games to work on my nook color by buying them on my epic then using mybackup pro to make a backup of them. Then, I would move the backup file and the sd card EA folder over to my NC. Lastly I would restore the backup with mybackup pro on my NC. They all opened perfectly, after the already mentioned spare parts compatability check toggle.
Hope this helps.

I tried this with Titanium Backup (paid) but the apps never show up in the list of possible apps I can restore, even when the files are in the correct directory for Titanium Backup.
What does MyBackup Pro do that Titanium Backup doesn't?
And is there a way to do this with Titanium Backup? (I have the paid version if it makes any difference.)

I simply used an apk I found on the web. Applyed the spare parts hack before doing so.
I'd like to share the apk, but it's not half legitimate. I guess this is not the right place to share that kind of data..
If you wish to send me tour email by PM. I could send it to you, but I'm not encouraging piracy, this is only for evaluation purposes.

Walk through it with me:
1) Make backup on your phone
2) Run TitaniumBackup once on your NC so that the folder is created
3) Copy the THREE FILES for that one app from your phone to your NC
4) Relaunch TitaniumBackup
5) Scroll to the bottom. It should be listed as "Uninstalled"

I tried this.
A) First problem: It fails downloading the game files after you launch the game.
B) Second problem: So I copied over all the files from my phone to my Nook to get around the first problem. It runs, but then says "This is an unsupported Android device" and then quits.
C) Third problem: I'm not sure what happened, but then I launched the game again, and it went through. Unfortunately, everything on the main menu was white and completely blank. I could hear the music but couldn't see anything except for a few outlines of some objects on the main menu. Basically 100% unplayable.
Did the Titanium Backup method work for you? If so, what device did you perform the backup on?
Paul, couldn't you get the game to work with the apk I sent you? Worked for others...

My Samsung Vibrant.
Note that I don't move the downloaded files over. I find the APK, move it to my NC, and install it. Then I let it download.
For your third problem, what game? NFS? Which version of the APK do you have?
The NookColor appears to have the same or similar enough hardware to the Motorola DroidX to have the same EA games work. If you are trying to use a game make sure the processor of the phone file is the same family as the NookColor. The NookColor uses a Ti OMAP processor, which is what the DroidX uses. I think the Samsung Epic uses a different processor and GPU.

[Q] No apps in Honeycomb?

I installed honeycomb last night but its quite empty, no apps? I installed it mainly for the "Books" app that I saw on Xoom hands-on videos. Where do I get it from?
Many thanks

I don't know that the Books app is publicly available yet. You can however install market and get plenty of apps (although some may not work on HC yet).
Just got my Nook Honeycomb'd w/ v3.0. This is going to be very fun!! ADB'ing my way to the Market now.
I believe you will want to install v3 of bluedeeper's honeycomb image or you will be missing a ton of apps from the marketplace. Not sure if this was fixed with v2 or not. I guess it recognizes the nook as a Nexus device or something and allows you to download more apps.
hey all, i have another question about apps in honeycomb. I am using the 2GB honeybunches version that comes with market preinstalled. All the apps seem to be there as far as i can tell. but whenever i go to download an app it starts downloading and then quits without downloading the app. i keep pressing yes to install but it keeps doing the same thing. Any thoughts?

Try opening market from the market widget and if that doesn't work, clear cache and data and force close the Google services framework and the market. Also a couple of revolts and retries got it working for me.
Also, make sure you are using v2.

Did a reboot and apps are now downloading and installing from market! Thanks for the help!
I'm not talking about the market, but rather this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGP3KKbDOKc "Books" app.
The HC on the NC right now is a "SDK Preview". It doesn't contain any of the apps that you might have seen Google demonstrate on devices like the G-Slate / XOOM Tablet. For now, you'll just have to wait until the XOOM is released, a system dump is performed and the APKs are liberated / ported from that dump. The only way it might happen any faster is a pre-release ROM leak. Even then, the release HC AOSP might be needed for one reason or another before they'll install or fully function. Renderscript for example (the new HC feature required for much what you've seen in the videos) probably won't work right away.

NYTimes Issues

Starting yesterday, the NYTimes app for tablet crashed on me every time I opened it. Tried uninstalling with Titanium Backup, soft reset, restore (app only), but to no avail: it crashes every time after opening, whenever I try to scroll.
What's odder still is that when I locate the app in the web market (which I couldn't do directly yesterday, for some reason) and attempt to install it, all of my devices, including the Xoom, are greyed out.
If I search for the app from the market on my Xoom, it doesn't even show up (although the phone app does. At one point, briefly, I was getting a message about my download being cancelled due to incompatibility. Now, however, once I can get to the app's page in the market, when I try to install, I get "The requested item could not be found.")
Finally, if I manage to get to a web from which I can click a link that will take me directly to the NYTimes tablet app page in the market, after I click "install" I get: "purchase cancelled - your device is not compatible with this item."
The only thing I can think of that I've changed on my end is having upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 recently, but I did not notice whether the NYT app quit working immediately after the upgrade or later.
I would really appreciate any help with this one. Thanks
when I upgraded to 3.1, almost any app I restored from Titanium Backup would FC immediately when run. Didn't matter whether I restored the app only or app+data.
Clearly there's an incompatibility between Titanium Backup and the way apps are installed or stored in 3.1.

I've had some weird Ti Backup issues as well, but this also seems to involve the market.
Can anyone else comment as to whether they're able to see the nytimes tablet app in the market, or install it on a xoom running 3.1? Thanks
In my searches, I came across at least one user with a verizon xoom running 3.1, and he claimed to be able to download and use this app from the market.
The app has been updated since my original post from 1.01 to 1.03, and a look at the reviews indicates that the upgrade may have fixed the issue, but unfortunately, I cannot get the app.
I would be hugely grateful if anyone, especially someone with a verizon xoom, could take a look to see whether they are able to download this app (and if they can, is there some way for me to get it?). Thanks
I'm on a Verizon Xoom.
It's not showing for me anymore, either. Only the phone app is.

Updated Nook App (v 2.7) Doesn't Run under CM7

I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .
Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.
The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.
How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.
I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...
Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)
