From what I've read on these forums, each app needs a specific LCD density in order to work. Is it possible to have both apps work correctly?
I am still on one of the latest CM7 nightlies because I haven't gotten around to updating.

I'm running CM7.0.0 (haven't flashed 7.0.2 yet) and Google Maps works just fine. I tether it to my phone and use Google Navigation for all my traveling adventures. Sorry I can't report on Google Reader as I don't use it so it's not currently installed.
I'm running 7.0.2, DPI left at default.
Maps works fine.
Reader runs full-screen but shrinks to ~480x320 (guestimate) resolution when you tap to read a post.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
How can I have both apps work correctly?
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
Untilled Google fixes the market you have to use another app like D7.

google Reader: Use the web interface with dolphin hd. Works better than the app.

I tried to search for this, but I don't seem to be having any luck. I noticed
the google maps 5.0.0 does not have the 3D feature or the 2 finger rotate.
Is there any way to get these working??
Only the Cyanogenmod rom has gotten it working on the gtablet so far. Install that or wait.

Do you just not understand how the search button works or do you just like starting threads.

I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .
Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.
The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.
How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.
I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

I am running into the same issue with Phiremod'd 6.3 and the B&N android app.
However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...
Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)
Anyone else having trouble running the Nook Android App with CM7.1.0 stable with the default 160dpi setting? I just migrated my NC from 7.0.3 to 7.1.0 and I'm having issues with the magazines (they are all "on top" of one another when you try to expand the stack) and the informational windows are all the wring size. I tried clearing data from manage applications and also uninstalling and resinstalling the app. Nothing seems to fix it. It's kind of a pain.

It is a known issue and a problem with the app.
So, there is not a fix for it currently. What I end up doing is archiving all the magazines but the one I want to read and the archive it when I'm done and unarchive the new one. Its a long process but it works. I don't want to have to change my DPI every time I want to read. Maybe someone will decompile the API and see what they can do to it, just like the original Netflix APK.

Thanks for the info, guys. It seems ironic that the nook app would not work properly on the nook. I guess I will just do the archiving thing until B&N gets it straight.
B&N App
Download LCD density set it to 161 ,reboot and your nook App will work as it should .

That will screw up the market. You can use it to change the density for the session but I would not set it to remain on reboot.
A possible solution for you
I use Nook Odds and Ends from the Market. Set dpi to 150 and all works well for me. I am on Phiremod, but it is based on CM7 so should get same results.
160 actually cause more problem for me so i've switched back to the stock default 169.3333
161 also work
Hi,

I'll suggest you read the answer to my similar (ish) question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063230
You'll need a 4GB or larger micro-SD card... then follow the instructions. I have GooglePlay (gapps) running on my device.
Be warned that I'm having about 80% success with "device compatibility" for software; Google Chrome doesn't appear compatible, Firefox or Dolphin browsers work fine.
Below are highlights of the incompatibilities for me; note that i'm not listing the many many others that do work.
Words with Friends works, Draw Me Something crashes.
The new Need For Speed works, Asphalt 7 crashes.
PvZ doesn't work; Doodle Jump does.
Etc

Also, to let you know, a lot of apps (e.g. Evernote) which show as not compatible when you look on google play, will work just fine when you sideload them. See Leapinlar's tips thread for more info on that, you need to get adb working.

Chrome and all apps that say not compatible should work. Just download the .apk file then install them. I downloaded them from APKTOP

I just tried Chrome_18_0_1026320.apk but after installing that version doesn't work on HD+ 2.0.5 (not rooted after last update).
I didn't sideload but used Google drive to get the apk to the HD+ and installed it from there. Don't think that should make any difference.
Anyone has a different version working?
has anyone found a way to get google voice working?

I'm on the latest update. Google Earth starts up but then crashes.
Does it work for any of you?
Same here... just got one for my wife for mothers day (after confirming that Google Play store worked on mine when updated) and we have found that anything requiring gps or location access does not work or is "not compatible" with our devices. Google Earth, Google Maps, Fandango, Weather Channel, and countless others.
It is a shame, because I love the hd+, but hers is going right back if she can't get the first two apps she wanted.
Any ideas to keep it stock and fix the location problem?

Yes, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a CWM bootable SD and flash my extras zip. It adds GPS permissions so those apps show as compatible.

Make sure you have the latest version of extras. I updated it to add GPS permissions.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
I just reflashed with the 5/6 Extra. Google Earth works except when I ask it to locate me and it then closes. Other apps do the locate like Google Maps and streetview. It is not a problem for me, just a note for you.
And a big thanks for all your work on the Nook HD series.
@leapinlar
Isn't the 'extra' zip only for the stock ROM? I'm running into the same crashing with Earth in CM, and am wondering if there's any downside to having enabled GPS permission bundled into CM. If need to, we can use a fake-GPS app.

Yes, extras is for stock only. CM10.1 already has the GPS permissions XML in it. You could try removing it and see if that helps with Earth (or just comment out the GPS line in the file). It is in /etc/permissions.
