Amazon App Market - Nook Color General

If you are running HC or another ROM and can't seem to get the standard Market to work, I had it working in the past but on my last attempt to reflash i can't get it to work. The Appstore from Amazon seems to work and install on my HC Nook, However just because it install doesn't mean the app you download off of it will run properly. I am having trouble with angry birds rio for example.
I'm not sure if there are any legal things against this like with the market on CM7 or some of the other roms that don't include the market. But after a quick glance and the legal bit in the app there doesn't seem to be. Hope this eases some of the issues with getting apps.

yea i just installed this on my rooted NC and tired to install angery birds Rio and it told me i need an SD card inserted :/

Do you have an SD card inserted?
Because if you don't, that's just an annoyance. If you do, then it's a serious problem.
In any case, I expect that's an app issue, not a store issue, unless the store doesn't allow refunds for defective products.

no I didnt think i needed it. I didnt have to on my captivate phone. so why would I need it on the NC?

Its only worth it for Angry Birds RIo

Some apps insist on storing data on the SD card and fail if you don't have one.
That doesn't sound like the case here, though, if AB Rio works on your phone without one.
Beats me.

who need it?

It won't install for me (angry birds rio). I can download the app store, and download the app, but installation never seems to work. Boy what does this remind me of...

I got the Amazon app store to install and I was able to download Angry Birds Rio onto my Honeycomb v4 Nook Color, but it does nothing but crash when I try to play the first level. Not sure what the issue is. Anyone else got this working?

Rio isn't the only thing...Amazon has apps listed cheaper than google market, like Fruit ninja for example.

Plus, a different app discounted to $0 every day.

Warez link removed

I installed the Amazon App Store and then Angry Birds Rio and they both work fine on CM7.

Amazon app store won't work in Canada. Too bad

The Amazon App Market installs all apps on the sd card. I am not entirely sure why this is just yet.

Did anyone with HC 3.0 rooted internally, have an issue installing this to the SD card?

Ok, it must be Rio because Paper Toss installed just fine.

I'm running Nookie Froyo on a sd card and the Amazon Market loaded and works and Angry Birds Rio downloads and works fine.

Installing Angry Bird Rio to a HC Nook Color is easy (you just need to move the app from the SD card back to phone -- ie, the NC), but you won't get past the intro of the first level. You will hear a few birds' noise and then the app will close itself.

Appstore installed but when I try to download AB Rio it tells me there is nothing to download.

Angry Birds making me angry

Ive got a non-rooted android 2.1 Droid Eris. Ive downloaded the angry birds full APK to my phone, one from getjar and one from a mirror. They are both in my downloads folder on my SD card. Whenever i try to install either file, the phone says im out of space. I uninstalled and cleaned up alot of stuff. It seems i only have 31mb of free space but i dont think that would be a limitation. I dont know how big this damn game is but id think 30mb is enough. Why am i having this issue and how do i get about it? Im now less interested in playing the game and much more interested in not letting it defeat me haha.
One work around is to use apps2sd. That'll install it for sure. That's the only way I managed to install large games like this and Krazy Kart Racing.
Keep in mind Angry Birds is not fully compatible with mdpi devices. It'll install but you'll experience the dreaded white background/terrain as well as some lag on certain levels.
*Edit* Never mind. I see you're not rooted. Disregard.

Is there any way to fix the white background/terrain problem?

Got it. Used appbrain and fast web installer and that did the trick.
Someone mentioned something about opengl es 2? Could we use that to boost performance of this game?

heads up angry birds seasons works on the g tab

Tested on tnt lite 2.1 works great
Thanks I didn't even know this was out! For everyone that has trouble installing it is the same as the regular version. Unmount your SD then install and remount it. Should work just perfect after that. Tested on the latest Zpad.
Where to get these?
It seems that neither Angry Birds or seasons is available on the Market on my gtab. Is there something special that I need to do to get access to these? What determines what is available for a device on the market?
Thanks!

New Game - Spectral Souls - 1.5Gig !! Does it run on NC ?

Has anyone gotten the "new" game that just came out called "Spectral Souls" to run on their NookCOlor ?
It is in the market and cost $14.00, but it is supose to be the best SRGP game out yet for the Android. It is BIG ... you download the .apk which is only a few kb's , but then when you install it downloads another 1.5Gigs of game data.
Anyways ... I don't want to pay for this game unless I know it works on the nook. I have heard verying reports. Has anyone tested it yet ?
Thanks
It should. The game support high resolution. I haven't tried it because the game take up 1.5gb of space which can be used for better apps/game. There emulators with RPG games.
NVM, read description,
Could not work & crash on uncertified Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook,...
I kinda asked the same question but it was more about genral gameing on it. The poster above said it wont work on uncertified googl devices but i thought someone posted they are running honeycomb and it runs good.
No luck for me on Nookie Froyo

Can I ask if you are using the real Market version of this game or did you try the cracked one that is floating around. I heard that the cracked version is a problem.

I use AppBrain website.
I have this game running on my device without any problems. I am running the stock Eclair (Android 2.1) with B&N 1.1.0 firmware (rooted, of course), with 1.1ghz overclock kernel. No problems downloading and installing from the Market. The game downloaded its 1gb data when I first tried to run the game, then worked just fine. It did download its 1gb data chunk again after I rebooted my Nook (for other reasons...unrelated to this game), but my saved game was still there and loaded just fine. I have since rebooted the device again, and this time the game ran fine and did not download the data again.
I have seen reports of some people not being able to play this game on their devices. Not sure if it is a Froyo or Honeycomb issue, but it seems to work well on the stock Eclair.
Don't know if it matters, but I used the pre-rooted, Clockwork flashable B&N 1.1.0 firmware from here when I upgraded from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0:

Angry Birds -- get it!

I've noticed many people saying that Angry Birds is not available on the Nook Color's Android Marketplace -- Just Angry Birds Seasons.
Well I just downloaded Angry Birds by going directly to the Android Marketplace website: https://market.android.com/
It downloaded and installed perfectly.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Wow thanks, I've tried downloading angry birds from the market many times and it would never let me, but for some reason it works now! Maybe today's update had something to do with it?
The Best game

Angry Birds Rio saved progress WIPED after Amazon App Store update

Anyone else have this happen to them? I was in the middle of a game of Rio when the update notification came through for the Amazon App Store application (not for a Rio update, just the App Store itself), so I updated that app and seconds later Rio closed out. Upon relaunching Rio, I found that all of my saved progress had been wiped clean. WTF?

That did not happen to me, the only difference I can think of was that I was not running the game during the update.
My progress is still there (thankfully, had to run and check, lol). If there's a risk of this though, that's a HUGE problem.
Rovio really needs a backup service for this (possibly even a syncing service for those of us using a phone and a tablet). It's really ludicrous how easy it is to lose your Angry Birds progress.
