[Q] App updates - Nook Color General

well i downloaded a few apps from the market like facebook and angry birds but now i cant download/update apps from the market. those two apps have updates, can i update them a different way?

what do you mean you can't update them? They don't show up or you download them, try to install and you get errors?
Get the apk online, put it on your sd card and install it. If you can't find the apk, make a backup of it with your phone, transfer it to the sd card of your NC and install away. Manual ways, but they work.

it says its updating but nothing happens just like when i try to install something.
thanks for the tip.

I forgot to mention that i use dropbox to transfer from one device to the other when i need to. This will save you a lot of time.
Try clearing your market cache and google services framework (i think), it's posted somewhere. This should get you a fresh start.

Grabbing a Market app that downloads but does not install

Is there a way to "grab" (maybe in the cache) a market app download that does not install and errors? What I would want to do is capture the download and then try to side load it as this is the only way that some apps will load.
Any Ideas? I know downloaded and installed apps can be captured from Titanium, but not sure about apps that download but fail to install.
Thanks
I you have an android phone you can install it on that and rip the APK.
If you are having trouble with an app not installing, try unmounting the SD card, the go to market and try downloading/installing it again. With some of the ROMs, that has been a quick solution to that problem.

[Q] Another broken market question!

My market was working fine (You know what they say... if it ain't broke, don't fix it... I really should have listened) before I tried to add the new Vending.apk
The steps I took were copying the new market to my SD and backing up the old to my SD.
I deleted the old one on /system/app (all using Root Explorer)
Moved the new one to System, renamed it. Changed permissions and rebooted.
On boot, no Market.
Went to restore the old one, rebooted, no market.
Now I try to install the new one in the system/app with the .apk, and it simply says Application not installed.
Any chance I can get the old .apk just in case mine is faulty, or any advice?
Thanks fellas!
Did you try clearing the data for the Market app thru Titanium Backup first?

How is this done?
This isn't the Q&A section or general section.
Apply your question(s) in the proper sub-forum, cause you picked the wrong one.
Posting in the wrong forum might result in a temporary vacation
Should have thought about clearing Data before I tried anything. But now it's a little too late as I don't have the option to clear out the data. It just won't respond to the key press.
I downloaded the Vending.apk app from the original thread trying to get the market to work on the nook, and it is simply telling me that the Application could not install, again.
I really don't want to have to reset/reroot again, as I have had to do it for 6 units already and I just want to play on my new toy!
Any suggestions?

Market still fails to download

I have a nook color running froyo on the internal memory, and cannot download apps from the market. I tried reinstalling and signing in to goggle through talk, re pushing the market apk and google services apk, clearing the cache and data for both apps, and reinstalling. Still no luck, although im trying market enabler now. Any ideas?
same problem here. a fix would be greatly appreciated

agree, thanks but none this work..i am using nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.2.zip
market can be a ***** sometimes.
wipe market data over and over (and reboot) until it works.
CM7
no longer use froyo, CM7 is coming...
I'm having the same problems with the same version of 2.2. Never had any problems with the older versions I tried.
I have tried lots and lots of things. I usualy get it to work for maybe 1 download after after I uninstall one app, once it worked after I moved all the apps I had on the sd card to the internal memory. Sometimes I got it to work by canceling the google talk login.
The fact remains the latest 2.2 version is broken somehow.
I'm having the same problem.
Edit: I found a solution to my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11545846&postcount=400
"To fix market download problems I force stopped Market, cleared its cache and data. Did the same for Google Framework Services. Then in ROM Manager I fixed permissions, rebooted to recovery. In recovery I formatted cache. I got the four unable to mount cache messages that others reported, but the Market works."
Did you accidently/purposely delete any of the Gtalk, Talk, or TalkProvider apks? If so then you'll need to go back to stock and re-root. If not, then start up the Google Talk app, login if not already, then logout, then login again.
When is CM7 comming ???

Android Market.. please help

I have my new Nook Color rooted to 3.0. I was able to use the Market perfectly fine for quite some time, downloading over a dozen apps. However, now it's giving me all sorts of problems. The last few downloads failed. If I try to redownload them, I never get a notification. It's like it forgot about me. Then it said I needed to resign into Gmail, and even with a valid password, it said it was wrong. Magically, without entering a password, it started working again. However, I still can't download everything.
I've tried to clear the cache on the Android Market app, and restart, but nothing. Now Google Talk won't authenticate. Ughh..
Please help!
Protip. Honeycomb isn't ready to be used for nook.
I know it's not fully operational, but I also know there's a way to get the Market working again. That's all I need to know.
No idea if this works, you could try downloading and installing the Cyanogenmod GApps package (can't post a link...it's easy to find on the official CM website).
Be prepared to bork your installation and have to reinstall HC completely, though. In general, you shouldn't expect much luck from a hacked SDK build that is soon to be obsolete.
Honestly, after doing some research, I think it's Google Talk. Other Android users have the same issue. If Talk won't connect (authentication failed), then Market won't work. I haven't found a solution though to the problem.. still looking.
Ok, I'm done with 3.0, this is frustrating. What's the best way to go from 3.0 to an earlier version of Android like 2.2 or 2.3?
I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from SD card. My Market also wasn't working and my google talk aslo failed to authenticate. I clear the cache for the market and I cleared the google services framework data and it worked again. I also found that have my install from unknown sources enable wouldn't allow my market to load at all. It gave me errors. If anybody knows how to fix that problem please help me. Good luck!

Seriously, you're my hero. It worked after I did that and rebooted!
One problem though, while it's at least trying to download and install now (and works on programs like Pandora), I can't get Angry Birds or AB Seasons to install. It always says it was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >
Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
Also I don't take credit for this fix. Somebody else posted it and I was just saying that I had the same problem and that this solution worked for me as well and I wanted to add that having Unknown sources checked cause the market to not working for me not sure if others are having that problem.

Can the system be set to download games to internal memory instead of the SD card, so that we won't have to pull the SD card out? Is that possible just wondering?
Um, how can you get away with pulling the SD card if you're running the OS off the card?
Market is broken for me...
Can anyone help me out with this Market not working?
I'm running stock NOOKcolor ROM v1.1 with AutoNooter (for root) and ADW launcher. Everything was working great for me and when I tried to install the latest Market the Market stopped working. It loads, and I accepted the terms and conditions, then it drops back to the home screen (launcher desktop). And each new time I load it, it drops back to the home screen.
I tried clearing cache, and data for the Market. I tried unchecking the USB debug, and Allow Non-Market Installs. I tried removing the microSD card. I tried reverting back to the old Market. I tried looking for the Google Services Framework, but could not find it under all apps. Nothing is working for me.
Any suggestions or tips? Anyone else having this problem?

"Insufficient Storage Available" error message?

I have a Bionic on 4.0.4 ICS and am running CM10 (I think, I don't remember and I just got my computer back from Geek Squad and they deleted my entire 'ROOT' folder... thanks Best Buy). Anyway, I keep running into a problem when trying to download new apps from the Play Store or updating existing apps, I get a notice saying "Insufficient Storage Space) and thus cannot install the app or update. When I go look at the storage on my phone, it shows that I have 2.97GB available, so I'm failing to see where there isn't enough room to download a 21MB update. Anyone know what is going on here? I've tried wiping Cache and Dalvik and it doesn't seem to do anything for this issue, if that matters.
Also, I just ran into this right after I posted this, but I downloaded a cycling app called Strava, and it downloaded and installed successfully (even when other apps wouldn't) but when I try to launch the app, I get a notification saying, "Your device does not seem to support Google Play Services." WTF? I just downloaded this app FROM the Play Store! WTF is the story here?!

If you've used lucky patcher, this problem will arise... try deleting odex file of the application you are trying to update... in root / data / app and you are done..
