Like many I was having problems with android market filtering out my NC because the device is not recognized. Today Amazon launched their droid market. It works like a charm. Now you can download most any app in market to the NC. !!!
You can also use AppBrain...

Both the Amazon Market and Angry Birds Rio apk files failed to install on my rooted nook.
Do you need Froyo or CM7 to get these to work? I'm running stock using autonooter.

Thanks for the link. I didn't think to move the apk files to the /system/app directory. I'll try that out when I get home.
Edit: This could explain why the USA Today app didn't install either.
Amazon Appstore installed fine on my rooted 1.1. First try didn't work error:"Download apks are not supported". I had to uncheck and check allow non-market install from nookcolor tools. I can say that this amazon app is definitely an alternative to google market.

This is also what I had to to also to install non-market apps.
I've found that to be a good work around already in the cases where I can't find an app in the Marketplace I know should be there (like the free shooter called "Pew Pew"). Seems to make pretty good use of the screenspace on the Nook Color too.

I'm not sure which one this is. It's AngryBirds_1.3.5.apk from the folks at i9000. I figured I'd post it here since there is no mention on our side yet other than the LITE version.
could someone zip this? Megaupload is blocked here at work.. Thanks

They say the paid version will be available in the market soon. Rovio sent an email out this morning about it.
The FREE Full Version is now available on the Market. It's still FREE! (With Ads maybe? I don't see the Ads on my copy probably because I'm on Cog with ad-block.)

Been playing it all morning (Thanks for the link, OP) and haven't seen a single ad on Cog either. Not really helpful information, but a confirmation.
Rex thank you soo much! I've been looking for this since I woke up at 9:30 this morning and everywhere I went linked to the damn beta version. Even the getjar link from Rovio.com
I just picked it up through appbrain on my bone stock Cappy.
When I try to download it from getjar, I get the error message:
"Sorry, your phone cannot download apps from GetJar or any other site"
I know this is a lie, since I have been able to download from other sites all the time. I got this error from both the stock browser and Dolphin Browser. I tried enabling market access, and no change.

It runs and streams content just fine on my stock Incredible running 2.2. And I have the app running on my gTab which is on Vegan 5.1.1, I just can't stream anything. I think its just a matter of Netflix only allowing a certain devices to access their servers and our tablet is not on the list (which is only 5 devices long at the moment).
Sorry for the double post, but I found this fix quoted from Android Police in the Incredible section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13738814&postcount=44
I don't know if it will work on our tablets but it changes the build.prop file to make the device report itself as a HTC G2.
No love with modified prop

No problem. I literally just a few minutes ago got the market working properly on my tablet by modifying the build.prop and I really don't want to mess with that file anymore unless I have to. I want to keep my market working.
But thanks for trying that. I figured it was worth a shot. Someone hopefully will eventually find a work around.
Working great on the Droid x! No luck on the gtab. Running overclocked,on 2.2.

Fortunately, my Nexus One is supported. Works fantastic on that. A buddy has the newest MyTouch, won't let him even install it to that. However, both of our Vegan 5.1.1 Gtabs let us install, no go on playing, gives the popup.
Of course, it works on my 3.7" display device, but not on my 10" display... BOO!
Netflix running on my G Tablet
My G-Tablet is running CM 7.0.3 with Pershoot's 2.6.32.39 CM7 Kernel
I sideloaded the Netflix App then moved it to the SD card.
I am running the 10.3 update of Adobe Flash Player (not sure if this is relevant)
I modified 2 lines in my /system/build.prop file as follows
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
REBOOT
Netflix is running smoothly on my G Tablet now.
This is a combination of fixes found in other device forums here on XDA.
I hope this helps!

I tried this on mine. Running Vegan-tab GE with standard kernel. Dumps me back to the queue. I wonder if there's something else I need to change in build.prop?
+1 on editing the build.prop... i can confirm it works... From what i'm reading around on other forums this is only working on gingerbread roms, if at all.. so if your still on a froyo base rom you may not wanna chance screwing up the tablet...
As far as editing it i used File Expert.. turned on the root functions in the app settings... then found the system folder checked it's box hit Menu->More->mount... changed the permissions to read and write... u may have to mount the file the same way too... copied it to the SD card for editing.. changed the required fields.. go back to system folder rename the original build.prop to build.prop.bak so u'll have a backup in case something goes hinky... then copied the edited back into the system folder... reboot...enjoy...
Haven't noticed any adverse effects yet market is good thus far...tegra dedicated apps show up still so I'll take that as a good sign

Another confirmation of working on CM7.0x (I'm still on 7.02).
Installed the app last night, it just allowed me to view the queue after logging in, also saying "This device is not compatible"
I edited the build.prop as described and ran the app and it now streams. SWEET

Same thing happends to me on Vegan Tab GE hope someone figures it out.
Can one of you with a working fix copy and post your build.prop? I want to compare the CM7 build.prop to the vegan-tab and see what's different.

Hmm not working for me.
Running CM7 nightly from 0508 (64 maybe? Not sure)
I sideloaded Netflix
Changed my build.prop as listed above and rebooted.
Loaded up Netflix and didn't get any 'device not supported errors'
I tried to play a video and the screen turns black but the video never plays. If I try to seek to somewhere else in the video netflix will shoot me back to where I was before I started the video.

Second this. I'm so close in Vegan Ginger. Sometimes it'll even play some audio before dumping me back to the queue. Ahhhhhhh!
Hello,
Ever since I updated to CM7. I've run into the problem that certain apps aren't visible in the market on my phone. they are present on the online market but I'm unable to install them.
Does anyone else have the same problem ? and has anyone found a solution?
(Personally I'm running Wgspoelstra's v2.9 (based on nightly .29))
Problem is solved!
solution is posted on page 2 by NL_B!
I can't find Vendetta online in the market either, and i'm running stock (rooted)
hmm I had no such problems on stock just on 2.3.4 CM7
That's because the app isn't compatible with your device (in theory).
But most of the time, that's not true. Just search the apk using other ways and install it with your favourite file manager.
Vendetta is only for tabs btw

What you need to do is install google apps one more time. http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/. Use the 20110307 Universal, download it and install it from recovery like how you install the CM7.
I'm familiar with this problem. WG forget to include some components from the google apps.

I gave it a try, at first I thought It hadnt worked so i rebooted the phone and read the site and it said it would work after the 2nd or 3rd market 'start' and it actually did! awsome
Hi eniux, actually the best way to reset the market (in case it won't download, happened to me couple of times) is to clear the market data.
Go to settings, applications, click on market, clear data.
If you enter the market it will ask you to agree with terms, condition, etc. After this everything will work as it should.
Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my KF HD 8.9 and installed the Play Store. All is well and most of the apps I want installed without an issue.
However there's one app that I swear by that isn't "supported on this device". Chrome.
I ended up sideloading an APK I grabbed from the web but that's neither ideal and it's not a current version.
My question is:
Is there a way to bypass the "not supported" message via an app like Market Enabler?
OR
Is there another (I'd imagine legal) way to obtain the current APK from an alternate website?
Not sure if this will help you but I'll share my method. What I do is just download whatever app I need to my SGS1 and back it up with Titanium Backup. Then, I mount it to my PC and pull the .apk out of the TitaniumBackup folder and side load it. I did this with Nova Launcher and HD Widgets and so far everything is working wonderfully.
