A) I've purchased these on my phone (Nexus One) but they don't show up on the market on the Nook Color (even with the new Market).
Does anyone know how to make them show up? (I've tried Market Enabler to no success as well).
B) Using Root Explorer, I took the apks from data\app on my Nexus One and put them in data\app on my Nook Color, and changed permissions. They show up in the launcher after reboot. However, on launch, it fails downloading the data saying that it's an unsupported device.
Has anyone gotten these games to work or know of a way to?
Are these commercial games authorized/licensed by device? I mean, you DL'd them for your Nexus One and now you seem to want to copy them to another device.

I doubt it. I've used plenty of other paid apps on both devices (such as Root Explorer, Titanium, Robo Defense, etc).
Well in my last two days of reading this nook color section I have learned allot. One thing I am sure of is that the Market place checks the device connected to it and only shows apps that will or should work on said device. I now games like the ones you have mentions have not been written to work on the resolution of this size screen so they will not show up nor can they install on the device.
I happened to get NOVA HD downloaded but it would only show like half the screen. Most games or apps that are not compatible yet will not even install. I am sure you we will have to wait till these games are supported for the Galaxy Tab.

NOVA HD 3.4.2 works full screen with spare parts, some time you've gotta toggle compatibility a couple times ( same for galaxy tab)

I've successfully size loaded both nfs and the sims3, the only problem is it only displays shades.

I got NOVA running on mine as well. Believe it's version 3.50, (not positive). Was already running the Spare Parts App and never had to mess with the compatibility mode with it. Game works great.
I tried NFS, got it installed and running, but its a no go. Graphics are reduced to just a couple shadows.
I have Nfs working like a charm on my NC..

The paid apps follow your gmail account. I got all of the EA games to work on my nook color by buying them on my epic then using mybackup pro to make a backup of them. Then, I would move the backup file and the sd card EA folder over to my NC. Lastly I would restore the backup with mybackup pro on my NC. They all opened perfectly, after the already mentioned spare parts compatability check toggle.
Hope this helps.

I tried this with Titanium Backup (paid) but the apps never show up in the list of possible apps I can restore, even when the files are in the correct directory for Titanium Backup.
What does MyBackup Pro do that Titanium Backup doesn't?
And is there a way to do this with Titanium Backup? (I have the paid version if it makes any difference.)

I simply used an apk I found on the web. Applyed the spare parts hack before doing so.
I'd like to share the apk, but it's not half legitimate. I guess this is not the right place to share that kind of data..
If you wish to send me tour email by PM. I could send it to you, but I'm not encouraging piracy, this is only for evaluation purposes.

Walk through it with me:
1) Make backup on your phone
2) Run TitaniumBackup once on your NC so that the folder is created
3) Copy the THREE FILES for that one app from your phone to your NC
4) Relaunch TitaniumBackup
5) Scroll to the bottom. It should be listed as "Uninstalled"

Can someone PM me the most current version which is working (link would be great). I found a demo online which works great, but is just the demo.. There seems to be 4 versions of the game swirling around (Evo, Droid, modded droid, demo).
Thanks!

I tried this.
A) First problem: It fails downloading the game files after you launch the game.
B) Second problem: So I copied over all the files from my phone to my Nook to get around the first problem. It runs, but then says "This is an unsupported Android device" and then quits.
C) Third problem: I'm not sure what happened, but then I launched the game again, and it went through. Unfortunately, everything on the main menu was white and completely blank. I could hear the music but couldn't see anything except for a few outlines of some objects on the main menu. Basically 100% unplayable.
Did the Titanium Backup method work for you? If so, what device did you perform the backup on?
Paul, couldn't you get the game to work with the apk I sent you? Worked for others...

My Samsung Vibrant.
Note that I don't move the downloaded files over. I find the APK, move it to my NC, and install it. Then I let it download.
For your third problem, what game? NFS? Which version of the APK do you have?
The NookColor appears to have the same or similar enough hardware to the Motorola DroidX to have the same EA games work. If you are trying to use a game make sure the processor of the phone file is the same family as the NookColor. The NookColor uses a Ti OMAP processor, which is what the DroidX uses. I think the Samsung Epic uses a different processor and GPU.
hi there i am running customized nookie froyo 0.6.8 emmc. with the regular market fix, i can find most of apps i need, except one, the Super Manager. i used it in nooter, but couldn't find it ever since i upgraded to nookie froyo.
i was wondering if any other nookie user can see it in the place market ?

If you are seeing "Super Manager(battery,SD etc)" by "ipop", that is not the real Super Manager.
I don't see Super Manager on my Froyo SD Nook either. But I see it as number one search result (Super Manager by Gpc) on my phone.
I don't have confidence these Market fixes are 100% complete. It seems to help with some apps, but I still seem to be missing a lot of stuff (had to download Firefox last night on my phone and copy to my Nook because it doesn't show up either).
yes, you're right the gpc one is what i was looking for.
i too see it in my phone. i have copied my phone's build.prop fingerprint to NC, but still no luck.
sigh, the app itself is no big deal, i just want to understand how market can tell if my device is eligible for an app.

Try using App Brain. I was able to get it through there (although I don't think it showed up in the regular market)
thanks, i do see it in appbrain, but whenever i click perform install, it redirected to market and then ended up with a msg "requested item is not found."

the easiest thing i found was backing up my apps using appmonster on my phone - then uploading them to my dropbox account- then installing them from my dropbox to my nook.
this of course only works with apps on your phone that you backed up; and it really is kind of a hassle if you are searching for new apps.
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.)
Is there a way to "trick" the market into thinking my Nook Color is a legit tablet? There are some "tablet only" apps that I would like to download but they don't show up when I search for them on my Nook. Should I find the APKs else where and sideload?
Honeycomb apps will not work even if you do spoof your Nook.

Maybe emulate a tablet via the SDK on a PC, download apps then use Titanium Backup to side load them on Nook... No direct way I know of tho...

Thanks for the responses! Still new to all of this, so I appreciate the speed and patience!
I can't necessarily help you access tablet apps but you will also see many other apps the market will not allow you to download to the nook color with a flashed ROM. A fix for most of these is to download the app and install it on your android phone and use the free Bluetooth file transfer app from the Market to transfer the app to the nook. This puts the apk file on the nook color where you can run it and install it. Works just about every time.
I have an app on my phone, but it is no longer available on the Google Play Store. Is there anyway I can get this out of the Vivid so I can move it to a different phone (Samsung Galaxy Note)? I want the app, but I can't really find anywhere to download it.

If your rooted yo can get a root explorer and navigate to /data/app and copy the app to your SD card
From there put it on your computer then on your other phone...or Bluetooth it over

Download Bluetooth file transfer by medieval software from play store. In that application, you will find an option like send app. Basically, this software converts the app installed in your phone to .apk file and sends it to the other phone you want. This will help.

Lol it doesn't convert it apps stay as .apks on phones, so it just grabs the app and sends it
Good suggestion though, does the app require root?

Yeah, id like to try the blue tooth thing, does it need both phones to be rooted?
NO Root required. Just install the app and shoot..works well on Stock ICS, CM 9.1.0 stable, CM 10 Experimental, Thunderbolt, Slim ICS, Chemeleon 1.1 (tried and tested by me).. no bugs known..
You can use root explorer or try apk extractor both work very well.
