you can get the apk from any rom. just download it unzip its in system/app
I'm seeing it in the market!
Weird. It is indeed gone and ATrackDog doesn't list it as a trackable app anymore either.
I think we'll get by without it in the market haha.
I'm wondering if google is getting ready to release google maps 3.2 with navigation onto the market. That would awesome.
For some reason, i dont think this is a positive thing. I know everyone on here will have no issue, but its def not a step in the right direction for the Android community at whole
This could mean.....
1: Google Maps with Navigation
2: Maps will be integrated back into updates instead of being a market app.
Are any other google apps that come on the phone still available? If there aren't other apps I bet they will only put them on the market when there is an update. Google is probably trying to make it harder for people who flash cyanogen's new roms. Luckily we have the htc 1.6 recovery, but if you can't figure that flash out you have a rom with no stock/system apps. Google is making sure we can't just install the apps from the market. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe but it would seem to me that they would update the current one on the Market if that were the case. This sits uneasy with me. I don't like it.
I think this is a bad sign too. Goog may be planning to remove all their apps from the market, to limit the "Google Experience" apps to phones that are branded as such. With the slew of Android phones coming, they're trying to protect the revenue source from the handset makers.
It's still on the market for me.
Google maps was initially put on the market for the simple reason that it was an easier upgrade path than to force all phones to take a system upgrade.
The fact that only google experience phones have the market program means that only google experience phones would be able to get google apps off the market anyways, so it makes no difference.
If the "current version" of android is consistent with that of maps, no need for it on the market. If maps is ahead of android, then it needs to be on the market.
I've been noticing that I am unable to download/install apps from the Android Market Place that have anything to do with using a camera. I saw today that there is now a full Google Docs app, but the Market Place will not allow me to download and install it. I confirmed this by going to the Market Place's website and it said that it wasn't compatible with my device. I am currently running CM7 Stable so the only thing I can see that would be a problem is the lack of a camera on the nook.
Is there anyway around this outside of waiting for someone to create a .apk package for it?

Works great. Wish the market would get a clue
Apparently there will be a camera spoof in an upcoming CM7 nightly for this reason.
Hit there,
since i am not allowed to post in development part of the forums yet, i will ask my question here:
i've installed evervolvs kitkat image (very very awesome work (can't stress that enough!)).
runs good, even with 3g i'm not having many problems.
but i am missing the standard calendar application and i am wondering where to get it ?
In the 4.3 and 4.2 Images there always was a cal application and i'm just wondering where it went.
thanks for any answer!
From Google Play Store install Google calendar
Read the OP it's write there about calendar....
i think you need to flash google apps for calendar & other google services, or download...
My suggestion would be download it from the store if you have it - I'm not sure whether the core GAPPS package includes it or not though the standard package certainly would. It's the Google Calendar application on the play store.
We all know the Simple Touch is running an ancient version of Android, and there's tons of popular apps that don't work. But there's actually a large amount of apps that do work with the NST, just older versions. I decided to make a small repository for older versions of apps that work with the NST (and other Android 2.1 devices as well).
Books & References
Google Play Books¹ (1.0.6) - APK
Aldiko Book Reader (2.1.0) - APK
Dictionary.com (3.1) - APK
Merriam Webster (2.1) - APK
Bible (2.4.1) - APK
News & Magazines
BBC News (1.3.4) - APK
CNN (1.2.0) - APK
Engadget (1.9.5.1) - APK
Productivity
Evernote (5.1.3.2) - APK
Opera Mini (12.1.4) - APK
Google Drive (1.2.228) - APK
PerfectViewer (1.9.2.2) - APK
Social
Plume for Twitter² (5.03) - APK
Games
Angry Birds³ (2.2.0) - APK
¹ Cannot view books manually uploaded to Play Books, there is a newer version that can but has major issues on the NST
² May have issues signing in to Twitter
³ Screen refresh bugs
These are just the first few apps, I'm going to be uploading many more as time goes on. Please feel free to leave a suggestion, and I'll do my best to find a version that works under Android 2.1 and the NST

This is a great idea and should be sticky'd.
I had trouble with newer versions of Dropsync - I would recommend 1.68 APK for that application. You can read my thoughts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43886167&postcount=7
I have previously posted a link to an old version of the YouVersion Bible app that work well here
Some apps still install fine from Play Store, for others certain old ones with version numbers I have working can mostly be found with a little googling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612340
Organized the list and added the Bible app
Thank you so much for posting all these apps - glad to find so much stuff that is working on my freshly rooted NST.
One question: The Kindle app can't seem to find my personal documents, and apparently that's an issue with Google Books, too. Does anyone know, how to get the Android-2.1.-kindle to recoginize my documents?
Or: Does anyone know of another e-reader that does the whole syncing of the last page read like Kindle and Google books?
I love being able to read on my phone and my e-reader without constantly having to find my place in the book after switching between the two? Is there any solution you could suggest?
(apologies if this has been solved elsewhere - my search did not turn up anything)
I appreciate every bit of advice!
The Olive Tree Bible+ app version 5.3 works, but the latest from the play store crashes.
The old version can be found here: https://www.olivetree.com/m/platform_android_20.php
This caused me great frustration, but I finally found a working version! FYI this app works with the hardware forward/back buttons without modification. Link pop-ups work great.
Just got the NST today
I have Play Books 1.3.5 running on nook simple & a glow, shows my books and can read, looks like 10pt text, unable to adjust anything, saves place etc. would like to try v1.4.5 found a reference somewhere but cannot find app, most leads lead to old pages.
Kindle App: Do you have a working apk for NST
Hi Folks,
Anyone help with a working Kindle App apk for NST? Direct link to apk or version number to hunt the web for would be great. Thanks.

That's odd, it works fine on my normal Nook Simple Touch. To adjust the text size, you will have to map a button (if only temporarily) to be used as the menu button using the Nook Touch Mod Manager app. Then pressing the menu button while reading will bring up options.

Do you want the Moon Reader .apk file?
Moon reader apk file compatible with the nook simple touch would be great.

Awesome! I'll test a little to see which one is the latest working version.
A post thank for you! :cheers:
So... I've searched for a similar thread, but I didn't found any so I decided to make a new one.
As I don't want to use any google services on my telephone I had to purge Play Store also. I've searched for alternatives. I came across Fdroid - actually the store I've searched for. The only problem I've faced is there are no proprietary apps. I try to reject using of proprietary software as much as possible, but many of my friends use proprietary chat apps like WhatsApp, Viber etc.
So I've searched a solution to get this proprietary apps without much tricks...just keep it simple. I came across Aptoid - another android store, but I didn't liked the idea behind very well - you can find lots cracked apps etc. and that is not what I am looking for. Second point is - all apps are outdated - so you are missing the new version of the apps and their security and performance fixes. It didn't suited my needs so I decided to purge Aptoide.
So... after a bit of research I founded another two solutions:
APKmirror - it is a website - there is no app for it. So If you want to use it you have to go to the website and download and install .apk manually (you also need to enable Untrusted Sources in your security settings). The website has very nice interface and it looks exactly as a normal appstore. I've bookmarked it and placed it on my homescreen - so it is usable - no pain in the *** at all. The packages seems to be "trusted" as the packet signature is checked with the one of the original developer. All apps are updated - you can even download beta versions (before they hit PlayStore) and if it goes wrong... you can easily downgrade to previous verions - very nice feature. This site is related to Android Police - as it is a good source in my opinion, I think the packages there are trust-able. Is there anyone who has additional info about APKmirror?
APKpure - the second solution I came across. I wasn't able to find any additional information about this source or any review so I really have no idea who is standing behind this project. Anyway... I downloaded several apps and I checked the app signature and it seems fine - every app I checked matched the original signature of the developer. There are also "Trusted" marks same as APKmirror. All of the apps are updated. It looks pretty much like APKmirror - there is no app, just website. You can easily update your applications too so it suit all my needs. Anyway... I would like to get some additional information about it... it seems to me like mirror of PlayStore but... anyone who knows more maybe?
Apkpure has a app that you can download. Just have to watch certain apps such as play games will update to the 038 version when I am completely updated to the 030 version in the play store. Apkmirror describes this on their website when you download certain apps. Just though you should know about the app.
One thing I miss Fromm the Google play store is Google games for backup of games data and achievements. When cyanogen finishes partnership with the social gaming network, play games or whatever it's called, I'll hopefully be able to get away from the Google play store. Course devs would have to enable those servers for achievements etc, which is a long shot. Till then helium is my best friend I guess.
