Hey all,
I used to be able to use astro file manager to select ringtones/notifications from the settings menu.
Now I only get the default or if I install zedge I can use that but I'd rather use astro or another file manager to select what I have on the sd card. And not in a big long list like in the default list. So my question being can I add astro to that dialog menu of complete action using. I used to have astro there before but don't know how it disappeared.
Anybody help ?
I would be interested to know as well. I want to add Foldersync to the "Complete action using dialogue"
I would certainly like to know how to add an extra choice to the dialogue complete action using.
I have an app that has many poi's and when i click on one it takes me to google maps, when i would like it to open sygic to guide me.
I also have iGo , and that does show up (but my version of igo cannot handle gps coordinates!)
Does anybody know how i can tell the dialog to include sygic?
At least for me, the issue was solved using a different version of Sygic

after you hit enter, nothing really should happen. but then go to the settings of the browser, and you'll see a new debug menu. you can change the uagent string in there.

Winamp too...
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.

I also have Engadget running from the Market (although most videos still don't play)
Aquarium Donation Live Wallpaper downloads and installs from the market - although settings cannot be changed for some reason
XDA Developers app downloads and installs from the Market. Seems to be REALLY slow for me for some reason though.
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?
Has anyone found a terminal app that works?

Jack Palevich's Terminal Emulator v1.0.21 works for me
I managed to get Google market to work fine on my STR, but not Amazon app store. It opens, but whenever I try to download something, it looks like it is starting, but the download is aborted.
Any ideas?
I've had a similar problem. Try hitting 'cancel' then download again. Works for me.
Have you set the Nook Touch to allow sideloading?
(One way to do this is to install Nook Color Tools and click the box. Even if the box looks like it is already ticked, you need to untick it and then tick it on.)
Well, sideload is working alright. Will try the cancel and again method. Tks.
All various App stores work fine for me...
I have the Android market working fine after rooting and patching my generated Android ID from the emulator into the database. Side loading all the other markets worked without a hitch too. Slide.me, App Brain, and Amazon Appstore all work perfectly.
I really hope we get CM7 working on the Nook2. Having a standard OS that doesn't have the limitations will certainly be much better for everyone than all the various different patches and hacks for the original 2.1 based installation.
I've installed "SayIt" app launcher which is a remarkably accurate and excellent voice-activated app launcher. However, there are certain app names that it dosen't recognise, for instance "K-9 Mail"; however I pronounce that it always opens Gmail, if I freeze Gmail and then try, it says "no application found". Can anyone tell me a way of renaming apps, at least from SayIt's point of view, in order to be able to have SayIt open them?
Renaming apps wont help, the launcher you are using needs to recognize what you say, cant be done so easily, if possible talk to the dev.
You can try renaming. There is a tool called apk edit v0.4. Download and it can be used to rename packages. But does not work on all apps. You will have to make a backup if the k9 mail using es file explorer or any other app. This will store it as an apk. Download that to pc and use the tool. Then install it back on system.
Hi. I'm trying to set up an Obsidian vault pointing to my own OwnCloud server so it synces between my devices. But when I open the Obsidian app (or any other app, as far as I've tried) and I click "Choose directory..." the file manager that pops up doesn't give me the option of chosing my remote OwnCloud storage. However, the super simple "Files" app in Play Store is able to do this. Do you have any insight of how can I set that app called "Files" as default when I try to browse my phone through an app?
PS: you might be wondering why don't I just sync a folder that I have access to. Sadly, this is not possible with the latest OwnCloud android client.
Thanks!
