Hi,
Anyone got this to work on the Hero?
Tried it on a rooted Hero, but still can't see the app I was looking for...
Thanks

Same on my hero.. enable it and open market, nothing changed. when i reopen the market enabler its disabled again.
Weird....I could not find what I was looking for so assumed it did not work, removed the Market Enabler app.
Then later last night the ones I was after are now visible!
Seems it worked after all!
The market enabler script for the hero is somewhat broken. There is an issue registered for it and I've entered a workaround as a comment:
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/issues/detail?id=5
Hmm...I think that this made it work for me then after runnning the app...
settings -> applications -> manage apps -> market -> empty cache
So, looks like a temp solution for the Hero
Edit: Or it may have been a phone restart that solved it. Or uninstalling the app after applying it? That covers all I did anyway!
I've tried the method you mentioned in the other post, but still a no go on my unbranded, rooted hero.
I run clear the dirs, run market enabler, and still no paid apps in market...
Do you have any other suggestions?
For me is the same, i tried all things i can find. But still have no paidapps in my store. I have a unbranded rooted hero.
On settings -> applications -> manage apps -> market -> empty cache is the button disabled.. dont know why.
Cheer up, I have an unrooted Hero from T-Mobile and I don't see any paid apps. I used to, though!
It works fine on my rooted Hero. Market enabler 3.0 beta. I choose O2. Emptied the cash memory for market then it started to work.
I can confirm that I installed Modacos improved Rom today and had to reinstall market enabler after a wipe.
The way that definitely works (for me half an hour ago) is:
1. Root phone
2. Install market enabler 3.0 beta (downloaded to SD-card, installed with Astro file manager)
3. Kill Market app (I used Advanced task manager)
4. Clear Cache from desktop -> menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> market
5. Reboot phone
6. Run Market Enabler, choose German O2
7. Start Market

Bravo!!!
Just tried this in Denmark, and it's working for me, following your instructions step-by-step.
Bravo to you sir!!!
Market Enabler v. 3.0 beta is available from here: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list
Hi,
What are the O2 UK settings for this...or are they identical to O2 De ?
I switched successfully to USA, but wondered how to switch it back to UK ?
Thank You
Phil
Edit...Cleared Cache/Rebooted . Settings back to O2 UK

It appears that this also works:
1. Root phone
2. Install latest Market Enabler
3. Run Market Enabler, choose whatever you like
4. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache
5. Start market
No need to kill market app or reboot phone for me...
Edit: though it looks like you DO need to reboot the phone to restore the previous settings.
i installed market enabler 3.0.2 beta but when i open the market (after 'select o2 or ...' on market enabler) after a few second closed again. i thing don't work on 2.7 MoDaCo
Why is the file a html file?? shouldnt it be an app?
I'm just not getting how you install this!!
hint : try opening the html file in your favorite browser ?

I tried this but i still can not see the applications.
I installed the market enabler before i was rooting the phone. Can it be the reason. Do you advise me to uninstall market enabler and install again?
And can somebody can tell me how to change the setting.
I go to settings tab from the market enabler and click on German O2
Later go to the Actual tab and and press save current settings. And exit
Is that right?
What is the gsm.sim.operator.numeric in actual tab. There is a number...
ps. my phohe is tattoo

I set hack, kill market process then open market again! it really does work and if your phone is rebooting while trying to set hack, reinstall market enabler
What's the latest version?
I have Market Enabler installed on my phone, but I can't find an "about" tab telling me which version it is. But the .apk is called "MarketEnabler_v3-1.0.2-beta.apk".
Today I downloaded "MarketEnabler_v3.0.8.apk" from the official project page.
Which of these are actually the newest version?
And to you who didn't understand how to use it: the phone must be rooted, ME needs superuser access, and then you longpress on the network provider you want to fake.

Hey,
Trying to change what my HC v4 Nook identifies as, so I can try installing some apps. I'm following the instructions on nookdev's, using the most recent build gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market
Market has no cache to clear. I can force stop it.
Google Services Framework has a clear data option, but Storage goes from 108KB Data / 0B SD card, to the same thing, and the Force stop disappears.
I've updated the build.prop & rebooted. The market still identifies it as a LogicPD Zoom2. Any suggestions on how to re-register?
I wanna know this too, not much showing up searching for "LogicPD Zoom2"
after i rooted the note and installed the CWM app, marked doesnt work anymore, it just chrash every time i try go in there.. anyone know what to do?
go to seting - application - manage application - all - market - clear data
sweet!

Hi!
My Play market won't update / install certain apps on my phone (SGS i9000).
It notifies me about an update, then, in the market, it just gets stuck at the green download progress bar after selecting "Accept & download).
The notification bar stays on 0%.
The same happens with the download & installation of some apps.
I tried on Wifi as well as Data.
It only happens with certain apps, but I see no definite correlation!?
Apps that has this update behaviour and fail:
- GMail
- StreetView
Apps that has the installation behaviour and fail:
- Facebook
Apps that did update / install correctly:
- Google Maps
- Google Search
- SuperUser
- Adobe Flash Player
- Voodoo Control App
My market version: 3.5.19
Phone Firmware: JW5 (Semaphore 2.7.4sc)
EXT4 enabled
Thanx! Hope someone has a solution for this!
did you try to wipe the data of the market?
yes i have done that... still no success!?
No idea why, but i just worked again after a couple of days!
Still unsure about the reason, but anyway at least it works now!
Nook Touch Google Apps Attack aka NTGAppsAttack
Custom Menu Addon for NookManager
Google Apps Installer for Nook Simple Touch & Nook Simple Touch Glow firmware 1.2.0 , 1.2.1
Highlights
Improved GApps install that uses the setup wizard to register eliminating the YouTube / GMail dance.
Market update enabled so Market updates to latest version including in-app purchases.
New patching method that should allow quick releases for new firmware versions.
What apps does it install?
Installs Google apps to NST/NSTG running firmware 1.20 or 1.2.1 rooted with NookManager
Google Market (Play Store)
Automatically updates to latest Market for NST/NSTG Android version. Includes in-app purchases.
GMail & GMail sync
Google Contacts sync
Google Calendar & Calendar sync
Google Talk
Google News & Weather
Calculator
What system files get modified?
/system/build.prop - set device fingerprint and turns on checkin
/data/system/packages.xml - clears signatures so new apps will install properly
/system/framework/framework.jar - patches to generate device id & phone type to allow market registration
/system/framework/services.jar - patch to start Backup Manager so setup wizard works
Getting ready to Install
Root your NST/NSTG using NookManager
Make a backup!!
Download NTGAppsAttack 0.5.0 for NookManager 0.5.0 (attached at end of post)
If you have a reader installed that uses Adobe DRM (Aldiko, Mantano, etc.) and you have authorized it with your Adobe ID you should deauthorize it before installing GApps and reauthorize it afterwards. If you don't the change to your Android Id that happens as part of the GApps install process will invalidate your Adobe authorization and force you to reauthorize. This counts against your device limit for Adobe authorizations (6 authorized devices). If you forget to deauthorize first and you run up against the limit you will need to contact Adobe to reset your device authorizations.
Do not disable BN Apps or reenable them before installing NTGAppsAttack
If you use Googles 2 step authorization, create and have ready an application specific password since when registering your Nook it won't redirect to the page where you add a generated pin from the Authenticator app.
Connect to wireless before powering off and installing NTGAppsAttack so that when you boot up after installing you'll be connected and ready to register your Nook.
** Warning **
I have tested this on my Nook Simple Touch. It works for me. I think it will work for you. But it might not. It might brick your Nook.
You must root your Nook using NookManager before installing NTGAppsAttack. Using NTGAppsAttack on a Nook rooted using any other method will probably break some stuff you like. Maybe even your Nook.
I haven't tested this on a Nook Simple Touch Glow. But the XDA forum talk is that it runs the same firmware as the Nook Simple Touch from 1.2.0 forward. NookManager roots a NSTG same as a NST and all seems rosy. So I assume NTGAppsAttack will work fine on a NSTG. But it might not.
Install at your own risk.
** Warning **
** Important **
Your version number of NTGappsAttack should match the version of NookManager you are using as NTGappsAttack replaces a file that is patched by NookManager. If your versions don't match things might not work when you're done. Updates to NTGappsAttack for the same version of NookManager will add a suffix to the NookManager version. For example the first NTGAppsAttack release for NookManger version 0.5.0 is NTGppsAttack version 0.5.0. An update to NTGappsAttack for NookManager 0.5.0 will be NTGppsAttack version 0.5.0.1 or 0.5.0.2, etc.

OK, I'm ready to Install
Make sure your NookManager and NTGAppsAttack versions match (see above).
Make sure your have rooted your Nook with NookManager and all is working correctly.
Deauthorize any readers you have installed and authorized with your Adobe ID.
Unzip the NTGAppsAttack zip file into the the root of your NookManager microSD card
Power off your Nook
Insert NookManager microSD card into your Nook
Power on your Nook and let NookManager load
From the main NookManager screen select More, then Custom, then Install NTGappsAttack
If all goes well, select Back, Back, Exit, eject your microSD card and let your Nook boot
** Important **
Once your Nook has booted you need to follow the next steps without delay. You don't need to rush but you need to move through them without interruption. Your Nook will be downloading an update to the Market while you are doing these steps. You need to be done before the update is installed. Otherwise when you open the Market you'll get a "server error" message. If that happens tap Cancel on the message and the Market will close. Go back to ReLaunch. Long press on the Market and select Uninstall and let it uninstall the update. When its done Market will still be there in ReLaunch. Immediately open the Market and pick up at step 14 again. And don't get interrupted this time. If the "server error" message persists try restoring your backup and try registering using a different GMail account.
Why didn't I preinstall the update? For some reason it doesn't work and won't communicate with the Google servers.
** Important **

Uncheck Backup Settings to My Google Account box and tap Finish (You can try leaving backup checked but I haven't tested it as I use Titanium Backup)
Go back to ReLaunch and open the Market

Tap on one of the Apps and install it. Any one of them, it doesn't matter which, you can uninstall it later.
Exit the Market.
You're not quite done yet. Keep reading.
This gets the process of connecting your Nook with the Google Market servers going. At this point you are hooked up with Gmail, Contacts and Calendar syncing to your Nook. Try Gmail and Calendar out. You'll see your appointments in the Calendar and contacts in Gmail but the Contacts app isn't installed because it doesn't work on the NST/NSTG. Try Go Contacts EX once the Market is up and working. Now you need to take a break to let Google's servers get all cozy with your Nook before the Market will work properly. For me it usually takes less than an hour but it might take longer. As long as 24 hours+ has been reported for other GApps install methods. I think the installing of the free app speeds things up so I don't think you'll have to wait that long.
To see if the Market is ready:
Go to http://play.google.com - its most reliable to do this from your PC
Search for SearchMarket
Click on Install
Open the Send To dropdown. You should see a device called "phone". Thats your Nook. Select it and click Install. If it responds "the app will be downloaded to your device shortly" your Nook and Google have cozied up nicely. If you dont't see "phone", it won't let you select "phone" or gives you an "Oops we had trouble with this request" error when you click install you need to wait longer. Once it says it will be downloaded, back on your Nook open the Market again. It should look different. You've been automagically upgraded to the most current version of the Market app supported on our Nooks. It supports in-app purchases if you care. You should see a notification balloon in your status bar. Tap on it and the message should say SearchMarket has been installed. Now you can use SearchMarket on your Nook to find apps and install them (search in the Market app is broken). If you don't get the installed notification continue on.
Open the Market on your Nook.
Tap on My Apps.
Tap on SearchMarket to install it.
Missing and/or Broken Stuff
Market Search doesn't work - Use SearchMarket from the Market per above instructions
No Contacts app - try Go Contacts EX from the Market - default and iPhone themes are decent on our eInk displays
No Google Books - see this thread on Google Books[/URL]
No YouTube, Maps, etc. - download them from the Market
How to change sync settings - Go into Gmail, open the menu and tap on Add Account. Add your same Google account again and you'll get a screen that will let you select what you want synced. Don't worry, it won't really add the account twice.

I got the setup wizard to work with a patch to services.jar to start the Backup Manager. It was looking to populate its checkbox for backing up apps & data up to Google.
The patch is written as an awk script to eliminate problems with line number and baksmali label changes with firmware changes. I rewrote the patch to framework.jar as an awk script as well.
I had to pull the MarketUpdater.apk from a different gapps package to get a matched pair of vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk signed with the same cert. Otherwise MarketUpdater would fail. I tried just using everything from the EPF30 package but it seemed a bit flaky in its communications with the Google servers. YMMV.
Cert mismatches may have been why I added a sed to delete the certs for uid.shared in packages.xml as well as the usual uid.system. After dozens of reinstalls I can't remember. It looks like now a different shared user id is added to packages.xml and the one the certs are removed from doesn't have any certs added to it. So maybe this isn't needed with my final selection of GApps apk's but it doesn't hurt either.
Reserved for OP.
Market is getting stuck on "starting download". Everything else works.
NSTGL
EDIT:
Re-enabling the B&N apps helped.
One of these apps must be important for the process.
I don't think its the B&N apps causing the Market to get stuck at Starting Download. The B&N use of some of the same underlying Android authentication and communication stuff may have triggered things to start up again. I don't have the B&N apps disabled and it happened to me once during testing. I have read about it happening on non-B&N devices as well. When it happened to me it was only for one app. I could download and install others. I used Titanium Backup to clear data for the Market app and it fixed the downloading for the problem app and it started working again.
If you have a reader installed that uses Adobe DRM (Aldiko, Mantano, etc.) and you have authorized it with your Adobe ID you should deauthorize it before installing GApps and reauthorize it afterwards. If you don't the change to your Android ID that happens as part of the GApps install process will invalidate your Adobe authorization and force you to reauthorize. This counts against your device limit for Adobe authorizations (6 authorized devices). If you forget to deauthorize first and you run up against the limit you will need to contact Adobe to reset your device authorizations. I have updated the OP with this info.
Thanks, this is excellent! When I start Titanium Backup it complains that debug mode is not enabled - is there a way to do this?

Install NookColorTools.apk and turn debugging on in there?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868366
USB debugging is turned on by the rooting process but the Android settings database isn't updated to reflect it so TiBu throws up that warning. I just ignore the message and I haven't had a problem with TiBu. If the message bugs you enough you could PM jeff_kz, the developer of NookManager, and ask him to set adb_enable to 1 in the system settings to get rid of it.
Now, my problem is this: I installed your GApps on my rooted NST, made sure to follow your directions, except I was too slow on steps 10 thru 17 and got the "server error" message when i tried to start up market (it went as far as the terms and conditions screen). I tried uninstalling/relaunching Market like you said in your guide, but still got the error message. I tried using Titanium backup to clear data for market, didnt work (same server error), and i tried uninstalling market with Ti Backup and then re-installing from the microsd card that had your GApps on it--this didnt work either (maybe this step was a mistake?). Other Gapps seem to work: gmail, weather, calendar, calc. I'm really at a loss as to what i should do, i would greatly appreciate some direction to what i could do next, or even where i could get more help if you dont feel like answering my question. i promise i'll give you internet cookies for helping me! maybe even real cookies! Pretty please...

Hmm.. That's a tough one. The server error is a problem that has affected a lot of people on a lot of different devices ever since the Google "upgrade" to Google Play. Its sounds like you did things right and uninstalling with TiBu and reinstalling from the NTGappsAttack package was a good idea - too bad it didn't work. There is a lot of voodoo out there on things that might work to fix it. Some things I've found you might try are:
Try a different wifi connection
Go into GMail and add a second GMail account
Use an app called Market Enabler to add a fake carrier id to your Nook (not sure if this is for phones only)
If none of that works I would restore to your backup from before you started and reinstall GApps.
When i tap on android, nothing happens. I cannot bypass it anyway. any ideas?
EDIT: SOLVED by enabling BN apps.
This is brilliant, working lovely.
Anyone with Googles 2 step authorisation, create and have ready a application specific password since it won't redirect to page where you add a generated pin from Authenticator app.

No problem, also might be good to mention have wifi connected when shutting down before running this, makes authenticating simpler if it auto connect to your wifi network.
Wonderful anyway, thanks very much for your effort, pleased to uninstall 1MobileMarket and use some of my paid apps.
Is anyone able to get Aldiko working after rooting with NookManager, then installing NTGappsattack? Aldiko doesn't seem to be in the Market, and attempts to do things like a Titanium restore from another device and downloading directly haven't worked.
This sounds excellent and I can't wait to try it.
However, I can't seem to find NookManager 0.5.0 anywhere. The version I used when I orginally rooted my NST was 0.4.1. Can anyone point me at 0.5.0?
thanks,Jeff

I bet it is a question?
You'd better make everything work propertly, then try if after disabling it is still ok, if so then no prob i guess, if not just enable them.
My question: is accountandsyncsettings.apk not used for gapps to work? It is disabled by NookManager.

I believe accountandsyncsettings.apk is only used to add new accounts and change sync settings. You can't invoke it directly on the Nook due to the B&N hacking of their authentication into the Android authentication framework and requires going through GMail to get to it. I would think that once GApps are setup disabling accountandsyncsettings.apk wouldn't hurt anything it would just require reenabling to add an account or change the sync settings.
I would worry more about BnAuthenticationService.apk as I'm not sure exactly how B&N hacked their authentication into Android and whether or not GApps would fail without it. It may depend on whether you've registered your device with B&N or not.
I'm pretty certain that NookManager disabling ContactsProvider.apk will break contacts syncing in GApps.
If you disable B&N apps after installing GApps and have a problem, reenable them then try editing the NookManager /scripts/disable_all_bn script and delete the lines that disable the above apk file and try disabling again.
