[Q] Rooted my NC1.2 but need app help - Nook Color General

Hi Everyone -
I'm looking for a little help with my rooted nook, specifically on getting apps. I just rooted it, following instructions on this site using ManualNooter and CWM3028 image files starting from a stock 1.2 device. Seems like everything works fine.
When it comes to apps, it looks like there are multiple ways to allow loading of apps and I want to find what's right for me. I wasn't able to follow the instructions where you go to YouTube (although Gmail works fine for me), and the ADB options of copying via USB cable isn't attractive to me. I would like to be able to search the market and load on the device. Right now I can't even load Market apps - they download but don't install. I have checked and unchecked the "allow non-market apps" box, but nothing happens.
Are there some straightforward steps to allow me to load apps on the device without moving files around?
Thanks!

[Q] Problem with Fast Web Installer and Appbrain on Froyo

Is anyone having problems with getting Appbrain and the Fast Web Installer to work on their Captivates with Froyo? And yes, I have installed the Fast Web Install app and activated it on my Cappy. If I am on my PC and I try to install an app from the internet, I get this error message:
"Fast Web Install is not available for your phone due to a bug in the Android Operating System"
AlsoI noticed sometimes if I download something directly from the Android Market, it says it is downloading but it will not do anything. Other times, it works just fine so I'm kind of confused. Anyone else notice anything? I did not have any problems with Eclair.
Also, I wonder if it was something to do with the fact that I used Titanium Backup to restore apps + data. I did not however restore any of the system data, just the app data. I have already reinstalled both the Appbrain and Fast Web Install app.
Just to update: The problem I am also having is that something will download completely as well but it will not install. It shows that it is fully downloaded but won't install. Any suggestions?
I'm having problems with appbrain as well. I had 2.1 unmodified, did the 2.2 flash and can't send installs from the appbrain web site to my mobile.
Just encountered this problem with app brain as well. I also have occasional weird frozen installs from market, have to restart those. wonder if we missed something.
I had the market force close on me earlier when I was loading a bunch of applications. Not all at the same time either.
Problem with Fast Web Installer and Appbrain on FroyoArrow
Only issue I had was my app lists were not syncing after I updated to the new 2.2 leak. I had to delete my appbrain account online, uninstall the app from the phone. Then sign back up for a new appbrain account and reinstall the app. Seems to be ok now.
I have the same problem.
I try to delete the account and sign up again.
Deleted both application in the phone, and reinstall.
I can send text and url's to the phone just fine.
uninstall seems to work too.
But automatic instalation does not.
What could i try to solve this?
(yes its on froyo)
After reading extensively on the Cognition thread, I found out that the reason the Fast Web Installer does not work is that since we are running a leaked build of froyo, everyone has the same Android device ID.

After following these steps, I was able to get Fast Web Installer to work. Hope that helps.
How did you install sqlite3 on the device?
Its not in mine..
Thanks howsleyd!
I ended up copying the db into my desktop and modifing it there.
I actually has a android_id code setted up. So i modified it and invented a new.
Now Fast install works fine.
Thanks!
Fast Web Installer not working for me either after 9.1
I downloaded Android ID Changer and changed a few numbers and changed it.... reboot and everything is good with Appbrain and the market

youtube not working

I hope I am posting this in the right place. I successfully rooted using auto-nooter and almost everything seems to be working well - thanks to you all for the great instructions because I am a totally noob in the Android department.
You tube worked (not sure if it was before or after rooting but now it doesn't). This is found at the end of the auto-nooter instructions:
"If your Youtube fails to launch delete /data/data/com.android.youtube"
I can't find "data/data/com.android.youtube" to delete. I have ASTRO installed. Can someone lead me through this please? Thank you.
If you install Titanium backup, there is an option to "Wipe Data" for programs. Just scroll to Youtube in the list of installed programs, hit "Wipe Data" and it should work again. Just don't sign into Youtube afterward, or you'll be in the same place again.
THANK YOU, peiziyu
That was easy - it worked great. xda rocks!
You can use Titanium Backup or ES File Explorer.
No problem. Glad I could help.
You can also use Nook Tools. Sadly this fix doesnt work for me and everything I try only gets it to work for a short period of time.
Don't sign in next time you get it to work.
If you remain signed in when you quit YouTube, it will just close the next time until you wipe data again..
That's because this version of YouTube is not really for Android 2.1, ...
has anyone tried this version? its the froyo/gbread version ported to eclair.

I can't find the wipe data option in the free version, how do you do it?

Start by getting Titanium Backup from the market (free), then start titanium and hit "backup/restore", go down to youtube and then hit "wipe data"
Hoe that helps

Reinstall
I rooted fine last night (and added Zeem launcher) and apparently signed into youtube and closed out. As such youtube stopped working. I tried uninstalling YouTube via Zeem and was going to install it again from the marketplace. But could not find it in the marketplace. I then installed Titanium Backup and it started working again (I didn't go into TB, just installed it). Today it stopped working again, of course I know why now after finding this thread. However, I have already uninstalled it and TB shows that it is uninstalled and I can't find it in the MarketPlace. How can I reinstall YouTube if I can't find it in the MarketPlace?
I am getting the following error in Ti Backup.
Code:
"Warning - System Configuration"
Your system will prevent you form restoring application. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings the in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox.
I cannot find that menu so therefore I am stuck in trying to repair YouTube. ES File Explorer does not show anything inside the /data folder that I can delete.
Thx
Edit:
Nevermind, I found the answer. Ti Backup needs an empty SD Card in order to see Apps. YouTube Wipe Data worked perfectly.
I was able to fix my issue.
I shut the nook off (not just the screen) and put in the auto-nooter microSD card again. Plugged the Nook up to the PC and waited. Basicly I was trying to re-root it. My PC started chiming saying it it found new hardware and that it didn't have drivers for it. It did that a few times and after about 2 minutes the Nook was turned on. I first noticed it had my normal wallpaper on it, so I unlocked it and all my apps were still installed, and the YouTube app was on there again.
So it appears that the auto-nooter saw youtube was missing and put it back for me. Looks like I'm keeping that microSD card around in case I ever need it again.
Thank you
Ti Backup worked perfectly!

3389 and Market

Ever since the update, I have been having a problem with Market. I have tried all of the "fixes" but to no avail. I DO have access to Market, but only the limited one. Here is my problem: when going through the steps, I get market started, browse around a bit, then go to my "home" screen,[ I use Launcher Pro]. I go to settings, but I cannot find Market under the Running section. I can't even find it under the System services, section. I see it under the Downloads section. When I do the steps as directed, nothing happens. I do not get the "error" message that I am supposed to get. And when I start up again, I still have limited access to Market. It is frustrating that most, if not all, of the app sites depend on access to Market, e.g. appbrain, droidpit, etc. I am not ready to go Tnt lite. I did see a thread to flash parts of the rom, and add market, etc, but am afraid it would disable OTA for the future. Any suggestions?

Losing the OTA is not that big a deal. Viewsonic posts a link to their updates on their site and a link is posted here within seconds of an update showing up.
Are you using "Market" or gMarket" that comes with the 3389 update?
When you run "Market" browse around and then hit the "home" button. Unless you have a taskmanager installed, market will stay running. Market should then show up under the "running" section. I am a little confused because I have never seen the Market under the "downloaded" section.
Thanks...
Thanks, BadFrog for the reply. I use Market. The gmarket gets me to Handango, which is really not that good. For some reason, Market does not show up under running, no matter what I do. I even tried to download a freebie to ensure it is running. But when I hit the home button, and go to the settings, it, as well as the other app I am supposed to force close are both under the downloaded, and not in running. Is there a way to reinstate OTA after flashing the market fix?
How exactly did you install the market. (I'm installing an older backup of tntlite becuase the menu structure is a bit different from vegan but the same as stock) I can install stock and market the way you did and see if I can help.

I had the same issue too with the market. I found this thread with the market fix. Just go to step 6 and follow the instruction on Youtube link.

I have the same problem after installing market and google apps through the same process. Everytime I launch market it says no apps found until I click one of the categories at the top. Even then, there are only some apps listed and most searches I try for apps I want to install (mog music for instance) aren't found by searching either.
I believe it has something to do with the version of the market, and whatever viewsonic put on the tablet by default? That said, I have tried to upgrade to the new market from an APK file I found in the forums here and it won't install. Hmmm

Thanks for the video link talexander18!! I'm was Vegan5 and still not getting the full market ... that did the trick for me.
Market
BadFrog, I used the files that came with the fix. It had a folder GTablet, with subfolders, and I transfered over files from the APK, permissions, etc, to my tablet, and I ran the apks, in the order suggested. I actually did this before the latest upgrade and it worked fine. But with the latest one, for some reason, Market, and the other google app I am supposed to force close won't come up in the running section.

I'm gonna assume your using the official viewsonic update 3389 then. I would suggest installing the performance pack from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885940
This will get you the latest NVidia drivers and the market. You will keep the complete stock look.
Yes, I guess that is what I will try next. Thanks.

pro apps

Alright, you all are amazing. I have a nootered nookcolor running launcherpro, and all of your help has been so appreciated. I am now at a wall. I did not use super or autonooter so I am comfortable in terminal. I have a few apps I bought and want to install to my nook.
I used titanium backup, and no matter what I do, it seems I need market to get them to work properly on my Nook.
I have tried:
adb (and throwing them into the system/app folder)
titanium backup (I installed SU titanium and busybox)
and root explorer.
The apps are...
Docs to go (full version key) says key is outdated
Gottodo (says it is not licensed)
sketchbook mobile (please ensure you are connected to a network and try again:Error code:UNKOWN) I am.
I am trying to keep my install as lightweight as possible so I avoided autonooter, but I may have to actually install the market. Arggghh
So, after all this help, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
~Leko
If you follow the threads, you'll be able to get market running, etc (try supernooter) once thats done u can reinstall your purchased apps.
The problem is your not enabled correctly for market. Look for an app called MarketAccess. It'll fix your market and you can just downlaad your purchased apps.

Nook Color 1.2 Rooted

I restored to stock and update my nook color to 1.2.0. YAY flash works! This will properly root using nooter 0.2 This of course only enables adb so if you have to manually install all the programs you want. One downside if you like the stock launcher(user interface) is the installed programs do not show in the new 'apps' menu. Also, make sure you install nook color tools from the auto-nooter. Debuging does not stay on after you reboot and the program will enable you to do so. Also, you will need another launcher such as ADW to access your programs.
I have a rooted Nook Color with stock 1.1 Rom and clockworkmod recovery installed.
Will the new update be pushed to me automatically, or do I have to manually install it.
If I have to do it manually do I do it per the instructions on B&N website or some other way using clockworkmod recover?
I believe you have to do it manually. I read that you can do it with CWR. The person who did it said it froze or something on the first boot but a reboot fixed it. Search '[ROM 1.2] nook color' on xda for instructions thread.
I was wondering, once auto-rooters are released, will you still be able to use the apps you got from B&N? There are one or two I'd buy, but want to make sure I can still root and use them. Thanks!

i'd assume they'd be tied into your b&n account - similar to your books - you can redownload any of your books that you purchased previously.
edit: btw, thanks OP for the heads up on nooter 0.2 - i'm back to where i was at with autonooter and root with 1.1 (minus gapps, which i haven't played with yet)... a lot more tedious doing things manually. running adw launcher pro as my launcher.
good job thx!!
cannot feel more wonderful.

Although the apps from the nook market seem to be modified to be recognized by the nook interface, I still have the library and shop apps in my zeam menu. I don't think there will be a problem using and apps from the nook market on any rooted nook.
@everyone
Amazon market works, but I had to install the angry birds apk using adb. I read there are problems installing apk's bigger than 4M. I suspect this may have something do to with that issue.
I don't have market working yet but it looks like someone did it with a specific market version and nookie-froyo-gapps. It also looks like auto-nooter will be out soon. I will be doing manual because I'm very anal about not having unnecessary software on my devices.
Edit: Market is working if but it appears large programs still do not install. Here is a guide:
download nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207.zip (use google) & unzip
download Vending.apk & Talk.apk from this post http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051235&page=11
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblock0p5 /system
adb push nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
adb push nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207/system/etc/permissions/features.xml /system/etc/permissions
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb push Talk.apk /system/app
has the autonooter fpor 1.2 been released yet?
For now it's ManualNooter uses CWM.
Has some issues.
