I recently rooted my NC and installed Honeycomb on it. I was finally able to (after days of trial and error) install the google apps on the Honeycomb via my Mac (I didn't have access to a PC).
Anyways, Maps works but that's about it. Gmail, Market, Talk do not work.
They don't even open and sometimes if they do they force close immediately. I never had the option to set up my google account when Honeycomb first launched on my NC. I'm wondering if that is the problem considering the apps that require your Google Account do not seem to be working.
I've tried to clear data from the application settings and even unistalled and reinstalled of them.
Anyone have any suggestions?

So I have been able to get appbrain 5.51 and newest fastwebinstaller2.11 loaded on my Nook. I have a seperate account on appbrain.com for my nook setup. After a little trial and error I was able to get Angry Birds and a few other protected apps to load using fast web installer.
Seems that once I have installed a protected app using appbrain they show up in the market as well.
NOTE I have only tried a couple protected apps so far. If folks have a list I am willing to try any, I just am not sure what is protected and what is not. I have not ran into but a few I could not see in the market.
Steps
1.Install Appbrain 5.51
2.Install FastWeb installer 2.11
3.Setup Appbrain.com account
4.Run Appbrain app on Nook, login to account setup in step 3
5. Go to preferences and enable fast web installer to your appbrain account
(note the first time I did this I got can't enable, went to settings>app>fasteweb clear cache/force close, restarted app brain and it worked) I need to go over this again and figure out exactly what I pushed.
6. Now if 5 worked, search either via appbrain app, and install or via appbrain.com must be on wifi for this to work of course. If your in the appbrain app you will see three options at the bottom of the app your looking at, share/market/install. hit install!!
Hopefully this works for folks.
I am running 0.6.8 on sdcard, 1.1ghz.
Helped another with the 0.6.7 on sdcard all inclusive image get setup and it seems to work.
WARNING do not use the same appbrain account on your android phone as appbrain will then push apps to both devices.
Good luck
didn't work for me
running nook color (zoom2) kernel 2.6.29-omap1
nookie FROYO 2.2.1
So, bought a nook color yesterday. It came loaded with 1.2, and the first thing I did after registering is root. No custom ROM, but have superruser and official Android Market access. I can even install a few apps. However, there are a few that I expected to see (Kindle, Astro in particular) that dont show up via a specific search for them in the Market. Did I do something wrong? Did I somehow half-root this? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
There are issues with the market after rooting. One of the devs seems to have finally figured it out (apparently it's been quite a ***** to sort out), but he's validating it before publishing it.
Same problem
I have the same problem with the market place. Where will the fix be posted?
After manual rooting Calendar issues
After doing the manual root the one application that seems to be the trouble for me is Calendar. The Google Calendar does not allow to add an account calendar to use. I have tried several other applications with no luck either. One indicates there is a issue synch information.
Then the other minor issue is within the Market has been fun. While in the Market it will decide to either go back a screen, go to the main area of the Market or exit completely out of the Market. That created issue when I was in the middle of downloading an application.
Any suggestions? The Calendar is more important but it would be nice to get both issues resolved.
This worked great for me.

The Calendar issue was resolved with CalenGoo. It is able to synch and update information.
Market is getting better with the steps.
Let the fun begin.

Hello all:
I am having hard time trying to get google maps with youtube app installed. I am doing the SD setup which is all successful from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I have used most recent nightly and cm_encore_full-161.zip. After installing gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip, it gets all of the apps but not google maps or youtube. What I have noticed is that it errors out on at least 3 apps when installing all remaining during initial setup wizard after successful gapps install from recovery.
Can someone help me out here on what I am doing wrong? Should I use ADB and install google maps manually if possible?
Okey.. I should have read all the new posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218974&page=2 .
I have installed LCDdensity, set it to 160, killall, reboot, cleared data for market after force stop, works now.
Works but springpad screen screwy
Works great for market but spring pad screen is a grayed yellow when "my stuff" is accessed. Have to switch back to 161 and reboot.
Royal pain
yeah, the new market really sucks! I had to uninstall the update and freeze the market updater. now i have my old market back and now i can see and download everything
I use an OLD version of Maps. It's simple, I'm used to it, so I stick with it.
Recently the Maps app started updating itself without prompt, without me going to the Market and selecting it. It updates despite the fact I have "don't auto update" set for all my apps on the Market app. I disconnected it from the Market in Titanium Backup but that only lasts for a short time as you probably all know. I found a setting in TB where some items were set for auto update and I turned ALL of them off (including Maps). Then today I found it had updated itself back to the current version again.
I've tried everything I know of. I have currently frozen the Market app to see if that will prevent an update. But you know what? I'm sick of this, and I'm trying out Nokia's Here Maps.
Just for update purposes, freezing the Play Market app did not stop a self-update of Maps.
I then googled again, and found a mention of stopping changes to another app by editing the properties of the APK to "read only". I have gone in with Root Explorer and turned off Write Access for the google maps apk. That was one day ago, so I will see how that works. It's apparent that the update must be through the Maps app itself if not some push update from Google.
I could use some help setting up a secondary user profile for my tablet.
I recently bought the $50 Fire tablet. I immediately used RootJunky's batch files to install the Play Store, remove lock screen ads, disable OTA updates, root, and replace the stock launcher. I then logged into my Amazon account to set up the main user profile. I removed a bunch of Amazon bloat and the tablet is working perfectly as a proper Android tablet.
I ran into trouble, however, when I tried to set up a second user profile for my wife. She logged in using her Amazon credentials and went through the standard set up processes. After finishing all that, the lock screen showed up, she swiped up, and nothing. No launcher or anything. Just the home screen wallpaper.
While logged into her profile, I tried re-running RootJunky's Play Store install batch file. I got errors, though, telling me all of those files were already installed on the device.
Navigating through the settings, I managed to get into the Amazon app store and install OneDrive. From there I was able to install some APKs. I managed to install Nova Launcher so she has a working launcher. I also installed the Play Store. The Play Store, however, wouldn't open. It just flashed a white screen and then shut down. After installing the Google Login Service it now prompts to enter Google credentials to log in. After doing so, however, it says it couldn't connect to Google's servers. I am unable to install either the Google Play Services APK or the Google Services Framework APK. After not being able to install them from OneDrive, I downloaded them to internal storage and they wouldn't install from there, either.
I have confirmed that she has root access. I have Root Browser installed to her profile and can access the entire device storage.
Can anyone help me out? Something tells me there's a simple solution here, since the device is rooted and all of the programs/services necessary for logging into a Google account are already installed on the device. Would locating the necessary files and copying them to system work?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think you should re-enable temporarily the stock launcher, that might be your problem. Then, you can set up another launcher and re-hide the stock one.

Thanks for the response.
The launcher isn't the problem. I managed to get Nova Launcher installed on the secondary profile, so I do currently have a working launcher.
The problem is that I can't get logged into a Google account, therefore I can't get into the Google Play Store. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. And as I mentioned originally, the Play Store and other Google apps are working just fine on the primary user profile.
If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
