hey i just ran into my first problem with the nexus, when i download an mp3 file from the browser (i tried the stock browser and also dolphin browser) it only downloads a small portion of the file and when i try to open the mp3 file it gives me an error saying "sorry the player does not support this type of audio file" i tried downloading the mp3 off of rapidshare, usershare, mediafire, and also limelinx. does anyone know why im getting this error?
bump....anyone?
The stock browser cannot download certain file types. Several applications such as Linda file manager and Astro file manager enable download of all file types. However if you simply want the same functionailty without an additional application then download and installed Download Crutch Lite
thanks for your response. I tried that but still no luck...
I'm trying to download a mp3 file from a website and I get a message saying "Download Unsuccessful. Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone." Is there a way to force the file the download?
Get Astro and look in the settings.
Try to download either Linda file manager or Astro from the Market. Then try again. Did it work?
It's because the stock android browser will not let you download certain file types. As the previous posters have said Astro or Linda will do this just fine. Alternatively Download Crutch Lite (8KB) will simply enable all file extensions (I.e. No application/menu).
Thanks. I got Astro and everyone is downloading.
Seeing as some of the framework needs to be modded for a pre-rooted version of the 1.2 ROM I figured I would throw a little zip together with some stuff to play with. Its nothing special. Instructions:
1. Download the attached zip file to your computer and extract it onto your desktop, your documents, your "taxes 1993" folder, "kittens folder", or wherever you want for that matter.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT CWM FLASHABLE, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
2. Download one of Nemith's ROMs from here.
3. Use winrar, archive manager or any other software you have that can open up zip files and open the rom you downloaded in step 2. Once thats open, click on "system", then "bin".
4. Go back to the files you downloaded and extracted in step 1 and you will see something called 'su' simply drag and drop the 'su' file into that "bin" folder you opened in step 3. It might take a minute to add it to the zip archive so be patient.
5. Once that is done, click the back button in winrar or whatever your using so you will now be in the "system" folder and no longer in /system/bin. You should see a folder called "app", click on it. Once thats open, drag and drop the apks that were included in the zip into there and give them a second to be added in.
6. Once that is done, your free to add any additional apks that you either downloaded or have backed up from a previous setup. (extract some from root explorer before flashing the update if you would like, then copy those on there.)
7. Now that you have all the apks you want added in there, close the zip, put it on your sdcard and flash that bad boy up.
Note: I included 2 launchers in there, VTL and ADW free. You can add both of them if you want and try them out or just pick one or the other. The apk that says something about gojimi is the VTL launcher. Also, feel free to add apps that require root since you have root access thanks to that business with su earlier. This doesnt have the market because BN is gay and their custom framework needs to be hacked, (thank you for the Nook though. ) also, youll need to select one of the custom launchers if you wanna use all of the apps you added. Superuser.apk and the nookcolor tools utility are included in the zip.
I believe this is not considered warez since all the files included are free, mods feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Once again, this doesnt have market, just a guide to adding apps and being able to use root.
Hit thanks if I helped you.

awesome!!!
so no market means no gapps either?
what about amazon appstore?
This is great. I already have it up and running with a bunch of other apks and a third party launcher using this same method, but the nook color tools and root will be helpful too (enabling the installation of "unknown apps" will be very good).

Amazon App store should work now that you mention it. Just download the apk online and put it in there. Hahah Im working on a full rooted rom but I figured Id give you all something easy to do for now.
do all apk have to into system app as i think amazon installs to data folder
You can sideload the Amazon app (or download it through the browser) after you do the steps in the OP. After it boots, open Nook Color Utils (tools?) and then uncheck and check the unknown apps option at the top. After that you should be able to download and install or sideload anything into data/app.

doesnt work. won'tinstall from a web download
also titanium backup cant find root so this doesn't work. not sure what value su has
In the stock 1.2 zip thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050520&page=5
I suggested loading one of the one-click root apps into the ROM? Does that work?
I did try installing with z4root in system/apps and it didn't work. Though that may have been because it needs to run from data/app (maybe?). Don't know. Haven't tried it that way yet.

This is unbelievable! Thanks so much for this.
I use my nook for 70% reading + 30 % for emailing and web browsing.
I installed CM7 on emmc, but the battery sleep issue is killing (goes from 100 to 0% in a day) + I cannot use the stock Nook reading App. The Nook market app sucks compared to the stock nook app.
I was ideally looking for a solution which would allow me to use the stock nook reader + email + good web browser.
So can I sideload apps such as Dolphin HD browser and Any email client, using this method? Is there any limit to sideloading apps in the system/app folder? I do have a bunch of apk's that I would love to use.
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can do all of that! And I dot think you'll run into any problems unless you have like 600 Mbs of apps. Hahaha
How to flash this?
Please excuse the Noob questions.
How do I go about flashing this? Do I just insert the sd card and boot? Do I hold the n and power buttons? Some other way?
Also, will this all be wiped out if B&N force-upgrades over wifi?
Thanks in advance.
I've tried downloading stuff from the stock browser and other browsers and when I go into my downloads on my phone the file is corrupt. I even checked to see if it was the program by trying to open it on my computer and I got the same result. Does anybody know anything about this or anything?
Where is your download location? I'm not totally sure why unless whatever your downloading isn't compatible with your phone.

The normal download location. Haven't changed it at all. Also, I'm just download a zip file it seems to happen with every file I try.
If the same file is not working on your computer then wouldn't it be the file or did I miss understand your question and statement
The file works on my computer if I download it on my computer. If I download it on my phone then try to open with an app or through usb on my computer it says the file is corrupt. So pretty much saying if I download from phone it's corrupt, download from computer it's fine.
Which other browsers have you tried? I recommend the dolphin browser if you haven't already tried it.

What kind of file is it what are you trying to do
I'm actually using Dolphin Browser. Every other file works fine but .zip files it seems. And the files I tried where Pokemon roms (trying to relieve childhood). But I know the files work since a couple of my friends have downloaded them from their phones and unzipped them on their phones. But my one friend he had a different situation where his would download as a .bin file when it's a .zip file.
hi,
today i downloaded a txt file from a email attachment bt i cant find it anywhere same is with zip file does anybody know how to access download folder or how to access these files
Generally speaking, you can't. You can open them again from email, and (for apps which support this) you can save them after opening - for example, a text file that you open in Word can be saved to the Office hub - but the actual temp folder used for downloads is not accessible to anything except the app that does the downloading.
Yep but you *can* get the file(S) from that temp folder. Search store for*downloader*
