[Q] Kindle App shortcut

My NC was rooted using the 12/25 Autonooter app! Pretty darn easy process to say the least! Thanks guys!
After completing all of the steps I went into the Android Market and downloaded the Amazon Kindle app. The app downloaded and installed onto my NC but it doesn't look like it created a shortcut in the Extras folder. Is there a defined process to do this?
I can launch the Kindle app from within the Market app but am hoping to find a way to launch it from somewhere other than the Android Market. I really don't want to install a third party launcher onto the NC so I'm hoping for a different solution. Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you reboot, and then see if it shows up in Extras?

Yup! Just figured that out... I rebooted the NC and there it was.
Apparently I had too much turkey to eat today as I'm a wee bit slow!

Install a custom launcher like LauncherPro and your apps will appear instantly in the app drawer without rebooting. Not to mention that it will make your NookColor much more awesome in every way.

I love ADW on the Nook. With all the scaling options it has, you can pack in quite a bit of information on each home screen. The app launcher is also very customizable, and the widgets can be manually scaled. It's almost like it was made for the Nook Color.

Unable to see Dolphin HD market

I'm using the latest Vegantab and TNT lite, did market hack on both roms and still cannot see Dolphin HD or Skyfire browsers in market. Anyone else also get this problem or am I the only one here?

I also have this problem. It had always been there in TNT Lite 2.4 and Zpad 3.0 but with Vegan 5.1 I can't find it.

When you do the market fix, make sure you clear the market cache. That SEEMED to do the trick for me. (That or the eighth time doing the fix was the charm).

Try following this video - it did the trick for me. I'm running Vegan 5.1 and had applied the other market fixes with no luck.

That really does work, i couldn't see copilot either and now I can after doing that video... Thanks!

Keep repeating the fix.
Repeat steps: Google framework ---force close---then go back---clear cache---reboot.

Me too. Very frustrating.

I am having the same issue. When I go into the Market, I cannot clear the cache (the button is not active). I have tried all the steps in the post and cannot get the market to display skyfire or dolphin browser. Anyone have a suggestion?

Download dolphin mini just as good or restore trought titanium

I've seen a few variations of the Market fix. The one that seemed to work best for me on VEGAn Tab Beta 5.1 is this:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
1. Google Services framework - Force Close
2. Market - Force Close
3. Google Services framework - Clear Data
Then go open Market and make sure you get the error.
I have tested this in VEGAn Tab 5.1 3 times... works like a charm. Many of the methods I've seen posted mention clearing cache for Market and I haven't seemed to need to do that, but if Steps 1-3 don't achieve the desired result, add Step 4 of clearing cache for Market.
I'm using Dolphin HD on VEGAn and loving it!
Good luck!

The Video worked GREAT for me also.
I accidentally skipped the step where I was to restart the Market after I cleared data and FC Google Services Framework. I just rebooted. But it still worked for me.
Thanks dude.

I have tried all the suggestions and I still cannot get the full market. Anyone have any other ideas?

I tried many mods but I still dont see the paid applications. But I see nearly all the free apps (I think).

Which OS are you running? Stock, Vegan, etc? you first need to have the mahimahi fingerprint.. install Vega if your on stock... once you do that
do only in this order:
go into market, register and navigate - it will be limited
force stop market, force stop google services framework, clear market cache (only cache), clear google service framework data (and only data)
Launch market and get error
Reboot
Wait 2 minutes.. then launch market

The video really works, I'm on VEGAn Beta 5.1 and I have roughly 98.9% market .
I still can't get Vlingo Virtual Assistant to come up on Market via my GTAB.

I couldn't see tank hero, but here's a trick that works for me. Use titanium backup, then wipe data for market first, then wipe data for Google services framework, then start market and see tank hero. You should see the accept screen when you start market.
This seems to be mutually exclusive w the usual market fix, I.e. you'll need to do the regular fix to see what you usually see. Kind of a pain ...

[Q] Launcher Pro Expiring

Looking for some guidance here, my wifes Captivate is running Launcher Pro (free version), and about a week ago, she received this message as one of those little popup messages, saying "This version of launcher pro is about to expire, please go to launcherpro.com to update"....
I checked the Market for an update, and according to it, there was no update. We saw this message about every other day, until this morning, she goes to use her phone, and basically launcher pro has completely crashed out, and keeps taking her to the web browser trying to open to the launcher pro website.
She has no way to get to her home screen, or any other part of the phone. All the physical buttons on the bottom redirect her to the browser trying to load launcherpro.com, I assume to get this "Update".
I've never heard of this, I run launcher pro too, which no problems. Any thoughts? How can I back her out of using launcher pro as her home app, with out being able to access the main android setting panel?
Can this be done from recovery mode?

Is her phone rooted?
Edit: And is USB debugging enabled?

Yes, it is rooted. I think her most recent launcher pro update (from market) failed to download, or install correctly, and now it's corrupt.
She only has access to the web browser. She can access other websites, but launcherpro.com will not load.
I had her remove battery, sim card, and then reboot phone, no dice.
Edit: I think USB debugging is enabled, but I'm not sure.... I'm at work, she's at home....I'm basically trying to get my plan together, so when I get home tonight, I can tackle this.

I also had her type in the direct URL for the most recent launcherpro update (apk file) which she was able to download, but of course she can't install it....

If she can sideload apps, You might be able to use the browser to download a different launcher (touchwiz, adw ..etc) then uninstall launcherpro and reinstall if you wanted... just use the browser to sign in to xda and download whichever u wanted....if browser wont let you download an apk then you could use adb, download your launcher then adb push it to /system/app/ and reboot (you might have to adb shell to mount /system RW) once it boots u might have to hit the home key for it to pop up and ask what launcher to use..

I got the same message like 2 days back. I went to market and updated my version. It didn't give that message again.

ya, that was the first thing I did, but according to the market, her version was up to date, or at least there were no updates for her to install....
I figured there would be a way for me to sideload something, but I've never done anything like that....rooting via an update.zip file, was easy....
Edit: the other thought I had was, if she gets a market app update notification in the notifications bar, we would probably be able to get to the market that way, and uninstall launcher pro, or install another home app (adw). So I'm hoping an update gets pushed today.

Try ADW. This is one home replacement simple and more or less on lines of launcher pro, well, atleast personally by me.

She needs to get home launcher or something so that she can switch her launcher.
I still use Touchwiz mainly, but I have Launcher Pro Plus, ADW, Live Home, and Netlife Home on my phone as well.

Thanks, the problem of course is that we cannot access any part of the phone except the browser...so once I can figure out how to get to the market, or into the android settings, I will be able to disable LauncherPro.
If anyone has a suggestion of how to accomplish that, it will be most appreciated.

She can't even access the market? If she can get an app called home switcher. That would let her choose which launcher to use. If not you would have to either email the creator or reset the phone if everything she touches makes the phone go to pp website. I don't know how anything she does makes it go to their website to upgrade.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

If debugging is activated you could try to adb push a new launcher apk to /data/app/

Go to appbrain.com and you should be able to hook into the Market from there.

You can also use the Android Sideload Wonder Machine from Androidcentral to sideload another launcher or HomeSwitcher. Link
Just connect your phone with USB debugging on, but not connected as a usb mass storage device, select the apk, and click install.

If you are comfortable with ADB then follow the instructions in the link below.

1. Download any launcher, say adw onto ur computer.
2. Use adb commands to push it to /system/app
3. Press the home button -- this will prompt u to pick one home app, pick the new one, and presto... u have full access to ur phone

MikeyMike has the easiest solution. If on the phone, you can only access the browser. Go to www.appbrain.com, and download another launcher from there(Zeam, ADW,Launcher2) install it and reboot, you should be able to then select which browser to use.

download the .apk from your computer and install using droidexplorer...problem solved

I had the same thing happen to me. The launcherpro website is also down. This seems well thought out. How do you make a program liked by almost everyone and turn it into something I'm swearing at for the last three hours because I need to use my phone as a #(*@^@% phone.
I don't have mine rooted. Stupid thing is I was planning to do it this weekend.
Any of the ideas above work for a non-rooted phone? Can I still sideload something else somehow?
Thanks.

ShareMyApps - very cool

Just installed this app from the market - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mattlary.shareMyApps
They make it out to be a way to show friends what you have installed, but I am thinking of it as a good way to reinstall everything after changing roms?

You should look at AppBrain if you want to synchronize your apps to a list so you can easily reinstall everything when switching ROMs. You can also publicize your lists. If you don't know AppBrain already, you should read the Lifehacker article to get an idea.

I have a problem with AppBrain in that it always says "the requested item could not be found" any time I try to use it to update. Honestly don't know why I still have it since it never worked properly.

Titanium Backup Pro. One click installs all apps after a rom change. Root required and I can't tell you for sure if it works on the g tab since I haven't received mine yet. But I don't see why it wouldn't.

This.
I have installed multiple roms and the first thing I do after the install is download Titanium Backup Pro from the Market and then restore from my backup. It is a one click, or touch as it were, method for re-installing all of your apps. Definitely worth the few bucks for the Pro version.

That really sounds like a "must-have" app. I have the free version, but am thinking I will buy the pro key before my next ROM switch (when gojimi finishes Ginger Vegan)

+1 on the Titanium Backup Pro. Has saved me so many times. Nice thing is that it backs up data too, not just the app like Appbrain.
I also use it frequently to freeze system apps to remove them from my app drawer

Anderwebs(the primary developer of ADW) has yet to release an updated ADW for tablets. He is working on one, but has not put any information forward as to a date for release.

if you have another android device, download it from the market.
using root explorer, go into the /data/app folder and find the ADW EX app... long press and click share... you should now be able to gmail it or dropbox it....

I use it on the xoom, I like it much better than launcher pro but it force closes a lot.

Yeah I side loaded it from dropbox it seems to run ok but if you use the 4D app drawer is lags at times

Anyone figure out how to get the wallpapers to align correctly or noticing that they arent aligned correctly versus stock launcher?

x2. i'm running adw launcher ex on the xoom and the app drawer some times freezes and doesn't load at all. for now, i'll be sticking with stock honeycomb or launcher pro (choose the keep-in-memory option to prevent force closures)

Yeah I LOVE adw launcher ex but the app drawer in 4D lags like it is cool other than that it works great. Hope the dev fixes
