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.

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.
So I love grooveshark on my droid 1 great for building my own play list and for listening to any song at any time without having to wait for it to download or to be played on pandora or last fm or anything like that, Installed it on my gtab running vegan 3 and it keeps force closing everytime i go to login to it, has anyone else been able to get this program up and running without it force closing? this is the only app i've had problems with since getting my gtab for xmas this past sat.
Not sure what the issue is, but I'm having the same problem on TnT lite 3.1.3. Total bummer... what a great app.
Got Grooveshark app working on my GTab!
With the recent update of Grooveshark to v2.2.1, I'm now able to launch the app without any FC's! However, it would still not allow me to login, stating that it was receiving a connection error even though I verified that I had a good Wifi connection.
I have Grooveshark v2.2.1 successfully running on my N1 so I just backed it up with Titanium Backup and transferred it over to my GTab. I restored with 'Data only' and now Grooveshark launches and logs in successfully on my GTab! (I'm running TnT Lite 4.1.0)
I'm listening to one of my playlists right now and it sounds great! All the app functionality seems to work just fine, in fact I think the the app's UI works really well in landscape on the tablet.

Thanks for the tip on restore of data. It worked like a charm. I had to do a fresh install and then take the data off of my fascinate with titanium and do a data only restore...presto....
Thanks guys

I'm a noob, but how do you transfer over the TI backup of Grooveshark from my Vibrant to install on my Gtab to get Grooveshark to work? If you can give me some direction i'd appreciate it.

Its easiest if you have dropbox on both devices, just go to where the TI backup is stored normally its 3 files and move them into the dropbox or onto a computer, and than either hook the gtab up to the computer and move files to the TI backup folder for grooveshark replacing the old files, or do it from dropbox just download the 3 files from dropbox on your tablet and than move them into the TI grooveshark backup folder replacing the old 3 files.
The 3 files on your droid should be in sdcard/titaniumbackup/ with the 3 file extensions being .properties .apk.gz and tar.gz take all three of those files and put them onto your tablet replacing the 3 files that are in that location on the tab and than running the restore on the tablet from titanium and voila!
Thanks for the help, I forgot my gtab at home, i'll give this a try when i get off from work.
I tried this method, pulled the 3 files from my Vibrant, replaced the files on Gtab, performed the "data only" restore and still received connection/login issues. I tried a fresh install of Grooveshark on the Gtab, backed up with TI, then copied the Vibrant files over and still same result?
Not sure where I am going wrong on this? Any one got any other tips?
Slightly OT, but I get FC on the Grooveshark app so thought about going straight to the web site.
When I try to use listen.grooveshark.com I get a Problem Loading Flash error
listen.grooveshark.com is the only site that does this.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Anyone have an update on this? I have latest Vegan Beta 5.1.1 and I can open Grooveshark but no song plays. It just keeps skipping. I have tried restoring as mentioned in the previous posts and this did not fix my issue. When I restore from Titainum it just crashes as soon as I try to open it. I tried restoring just data and also app+data and neither one worked. Does anyone have any ideas?
Can someone post the three files? I cannot access those files to load on my G Tab...

The problem is that we are restoring our account from another device. In order for this to work for you, someone would have to login to their device with your account and then upload that for you to restore with. You could do this but I would recommend for you to change your password. Then you would have to send a pm in order to not publicly post a password.
Edit:
Here is a link to the files without an account attached to it. Try it out. I don't know if it will work though.

This slightly OT, but I have been testing an app called Tinyshark - so far so good.
I have been getting mixed results with Tinyshark. Sometimes it works, but often it won't play any of my music. Anyone having the same issue? Any fixes for this?
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.

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'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..

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.
I just wanted to put this out there for anyone having trouble finding apps on the Market with their VS GTAB.
I found Bluetooth File Transfer by "Medevial Software" that allowed me to transfer most of the apps that I have on my Nexus One over to my GTAB.
The app has a nifty little function called "Send Applications" on the menu under the "more" tab.
Both devices have to have bluetooth on for this function to activate.
This app helped me to get apps over to my GTAB when I couldn't get to them from the Market (on the GTAB).
Some Apps on my N1 were locked so I could'nt move those but for the most part I was able to get a lot of apps on my GTAB that I was not able to get via normal channels.
You can also use the free version of dropbox and get apps from all your PC/phone/Gtab.
It's a cool little app/program. and you can share folders as well. But it is only via wifi, which is fine as my phone is rooted so I always have wifi.

I used Dropbox all the time it's pretty cool but I tried to see if I could get my apps from my N1 over to my GTAB with Dropbox but it didn't give me the option to send APKs like BTFT does.
BTFT will package the selected apps into individual APKs so you can install them easily after they are transfered to your device. Which is a big help because before I found BTFT I was moving apps over using Titanium Backup which had many steps to get the apps over and installed successfully. With BTFT those steps are greatly reduced.
Try it out.
Nice find, thank you sir.

I believe the default location for transfered apps is the main directory of the internal sdcard.
/mnt/sdcard
Just scroll to the bottom if you are using a file explorer like estrongs.
BTFS worked great for me! send a few apps to my boss' droid2!
Here is an easy way to transfer and sideload. Using a WiFi connection.
Download apk's to your pc, use ES File explorer to browse for apk on PC (Lan), copy to your "downloads" folder on sd (Local). Browse w/ ES File explorer to downloads , choose apk and install.
Been working like a charm for me
Edit; Sorry to post this here, since this thread relates to "BFT", meant to post on previous thread.

Hmmm? Don't have an answer for you. I remember having that same issue but all I did was make sure both devices were discoverable and making sure the ftp share service and opp receiving service were both enabled in settings for both devices. I don't know for sure that would be your fix though..

I had the problem before of getting an error message, but I installed Blue Tooth File Transfer on both devices and now it works fine. I have it on my Gtab, EPIC, Moment, and EVO and all works fine.

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.
This would complete the Captivate
any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb
This needs to be done already
If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool
Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.
I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.
Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d
Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³
This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).
I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³
Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!
I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.
