Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm struggling to find any tracker app that can actually provide my phones location. I've searched through the forum but can only find old posts.
All apps (lookout, wheres my droid, android lost) can all send messages to email accounts but none can pinpoint my position!
This used to work, I'm starting to think it must be a frozen app (that is needed) or ROM issue etc.
Has anyone managed to get their GPS position working?
I am on odexed JVR (with loads of apps removed/frozen)
Thx Dudes.
I would also like to hear about the same.
If you provide a list of the apps you have frozen, I'm sure someone could let you know whether or not one is necessary.
Personally, I use SeekDroid to remotely locate my phone, and I have absolutely no problem acquiring its GPS location.

Hmm... does Google Maps work? Or is your GPS troubles specific to those lost-phone-finding apps?
Google maps and navigation work really well, GPS accurate to 10m most of the time

Thought it might be handy to hear people's suggestions for apps that run-well on Galaxy Gear's small screen display. Some obvious choices include:
Keyboards
Graffiti
Big Buttons
Game Emulators
Gameboy Color A.D. - heard in another thread this worked well.
Any other apps people have tested that run well?
Gstrings guitar tuner works great, and im also running Nesoid nes emulator.

You need to install WonderShare Mobile Go on your PC first. Easy to use.
My apps so far that work well are:
Shake Calc - good little calculator with scientific functions too
QuickPic - photo/video viewer with lots of great folder organisation (including exclusion)
Node Beat - Great for showing off sound capability
aLights Pro - you want flashing lights or a handy torch?
Trapball - a very touch friendly simple time waster game
I can't figure out how to search apps by name and I can't find shakecalc anywhere. I have installed:
ASL American Sign Language Flash Cards
MyScript Calculator
Google Sky Map <-- omg, wtf bbq this is amazing

these 2 apps are pretty much must haves if you dont want to run stock 4.1 android on Galaxy s3.
or if you want to pair the galaxy to any android device using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500999 then these apps give you almost all the functionality. just need s voice really.
After playing around with my rooted nook for quite a while and testing different launchers, apps, etc. I though about making a list of the best apps to have for the NST.
This is a non-exhaustive list and I will continue to update it as I also want the community's suggestions.

Thanks a ton, for some reason I couldn't get the links to work, it 404'd.
Out of curiousity, what rom are you running? (Don't see a bunch of users on this area.)
I've been searching for an RSS reader that allows to read the feeds offline, but I wasn't able to find anything.
There is no problem installing GrazeRSS and FeedMe, however I get errors when trying to log in with them.
FeedMe supports Feedly only and it shows the Moved temporarily link and then nothing (other apps using Feedly do the same).
GrazeRSS supports Feedly, The Old Reader and Newsblur. Can't log into any of them.
JustReader supports BuzQuz and Feedly. Can't log into Feedly.
GrazeRSS is an open source app, so can be potentially modified to work on Nook Simple Touch.
Luckily gReader works on the NST and allows to share articles to Pocket and Readability. Didn't manage to share via EvenClip since I can't install onto NST.
problems with gReader on NST
After testing gReader for a day I'm not so happy about it. The major problem is a lack of e-Ink theme. You may support this request at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/g_reader/wcn6jLFQaY0
Another problem for me is with scrolling. When I scroll down in many cases it scrolls up. Tried to push harder and it helps sometimes, but still far away from usable.
And I can't find a way for NoRefresh to work with gReader. When I activate NoRefresh via the 3 downward taps, it seems that gReader thinks this is a gesture for it, so NoRefresh is not turned on.
I would also like to find a reader app that works with feedly on the NST. I would probably use my Nook to read my feeds more than actual books if I could get something working.
The best use for nook apart from reading is filtered news. I have installed a version of News and Weather which opens the links in my default browser (Opera Classic (Mobile)) and have setup my custom news keyword filters as on my other android devices.
RSS is much better. Best RSS app is gReader+ which does not have ads like greader. Reader+ is the second best reader IMO.
Since google shut down rss synching in July, you have a few options to have your rss feeds stored online for rss readers to setup with. Feedly is best and has its own web(works in opera classic) & app(not installable) reader too but it is too much like a magazine for me. Others are theoldreader (free) & bazqux (30 days free but good for import/export before 30 days). These are good as your rss account synch, their readers are not good for me.
I have tested many rss apps mentioned before in nooktouch threads. None of them are working properly. Only greader from market worked and imported my feeds. Problem is it has ads. I tried numerous apps mentioned here but most are dead, others fail import from feedly or theoldreader.
I tried about 20 versions of greader+. The old ones do not have import from feedly/theoldreader. The new ones fail on import mostly fail after pressing import from feedly/theoldreader, those few greader+ that do not and attempt stop saying untrusted network certificate error.
Very recent versions of greader+ actually do not run on NTS 2.1 android, screen just flashses and aborts. If anyone finds a working rss reader which imports subscriptions from feedly or theoldreader or bazqux, or import from files xml/opml let us know here what app and what version or even upload link or file. If I find a solution I will post.
Also import your subscriptions from feedly into theoldreader and bazqux and then export them (download) as both xml & opml files to backup on your PC, also zip & email to yourself and store in your keepers email folder..
In theoldreader site, in options setup a password and then to import elsewhere from theoldreader your id is the gmail email address and your password is the one you just setup, not your gmail password. Feedly uses gmail id & gmail password.
I actually use feedly for my rss management. Since feedly app does not work on nook I found a substitute. It's called "Feedme" and it works quite cool. Have bright theme so you could say it's somewhat optmised for einks. Only minus is no screen refresh. I just put my nook to sleep and wake it up if i want my screen refreshed.

Interesting. How did you root your device? Do you use a custom kernel?
Personally I used ZeroChaos + NookManager + NTGAttack + NoRefresh + custom kernel #166 on my NST.
Feedly login used by most to authorize access feeds crashes with android 2.1 on NST. Feedme like many crashes on that for me.
Best way is to register with feedly, first, then via that with theoldreader, bazqux & ino reader And to import the xml & opml format file they generate to download.
greaqder was synched as I said before but it has ads in article list.
I got RssDemon from market to synch last night which is better as layout is similar and also gives dark theme. Better yet the ads appear not in article list but in article. It also opens links in my default browser, opera Classic aka mobile.
Better yet, I downloaded a copy of the paid version RssDemon elite last night with the license file to get rid of the ads.
JustReader also synched from market, similar enough layout to the two above, and typed in liNk (sdcard/feedly.opml) to synch feeds from file. Also a license file I downloaded worked. Exit generates crash log but does not matter as settings are remembered. Backup file generation does not work but with liceNse is ad free.
Best is ad free licensed rssdemon now, install Rssdemon elite old file, do not run, install license apk. then licensed justreader (market apk). Third best is greader from market with ads.
Best would be greader+ but newer ones crash, older ones feedly synch crashes, oldest oNes before July worked with Google rss only which is nowdead

I haven't seen any ads in free greader. But ZeroChaos filters ads somehow, so may this is the case.
And I don't mind paying for greader+ if the add an e-Ink theme https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/g_reader/wcn6jLFQaY0/V7XtZEutPIgJ and most importantly fix the problem with NoRefresh.

Zerochaos (i disabled root in config.txt) got stuck in launcher choice popup at start and many apps kept crashing while frozen. Had to restore a nandroid backup from yesterday. There is a clash with latest uimage I have probably.
The difference between greader & plus is the ads. I tried Zerochaos (Zerolab) as wanted adfree & anysoftkeyboard & Zeam (latest ones don't work). Can you upload these (/data/app or maybe in /system/app/)? Or at least tell us what versions they are?
AppBak generates a text file of installed apps/version number:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.moparisthebest.appbak&hl=en
P.S. No response from our friend. NVM. I tried from latest Zeam versions, a few days ago, but they didn't work on NST. Zeam Launcher is a free app, xda thread too, now sadly discontinued in favor of SickSky. I have used it as backup launcher, debugging etc., on my phones for a couple of years as it's so light. Usually use Nova. Versions 3.x don't work on NST. Versions 2.0.x work as do 2.2.x all the way up to 2.8.7 and 2.8.8. Versions 2.9.x and up don't work. Use v2.8.8. Advantage over ADW supplied with Glownooter is the dock can have more icons, I put 10 apps on it.
Also just installed a recent version of adfree, v0.8.66, seems to work.
I've figure out a workaround to the Feedly login issue: You can install the desired app on another android device, sign in to Feedly in the app there, and then back up the data, transfer it to the Nook, and restore it there. This worked for me for both JustReader and FeedMe, and probably works for any other app that runs 2.1. According to Feedly's API, they use OAuth with tokens that expire, but the app can refresh them. So if the app is coded correctly, in theory it should request a new token from Feedly without user input and you shouldn't see an expiration. However, if it does expire or require you to log into Feedly again for whatever reason, you would just need to redo the steps of authenticating on another Android device and then copying the data over.
Hope this helps!

I've been trying to do this but haven't succeeded yet. I installed FeedMe on my phone, logged in and transferreded both the folder at /mnt/sdcard/com.seazon.feedme/ and the file at /data/davlik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected] to the nook. I CHMODded both to match the native versions on the nook. So far it hasn't brought me success.
Is this the approach you are describing?

Sure.
In settings, custom news topics, add your own keywords of special interest + delete topics not wanted.
I really like the older version of News and Weather that doesn't open an external browser but the scrolling difficulty caused me to abandon it. The BBC news app is marginally better and at least the text is resizable. I just find that the constant switching back and forth between a feed app and the browser in the more "recent" version of News and Weather is painful.
I'm trying NewsHog now and it behaves marginally better for scrolling, offers an optional condensation of the article and then an option to open the full article in an internal browser with the same sort of scrolling issues. SIGH. I wrote to the developers and suggested an option to port scrolling to volume buttons but afterwards realized this was not a good idea because the app comes with a TTS feature (of no use on the Nook ST, of course).
So...is there a way to switch back and forth between the feed app and the browser without closing the browser and then waiting for it to reopen when you select the next item? Seems so clunky--even for a rooted Nook ST
The whole point of this news widget (developer stopped, search xda, another guy copied the app & put ads on it) is setting it up with your personal keyword filters for news topics. If you don't haVe any special iNterest keywords to search for, you might as well use any other general news app.

I think that I've found the problem with feedly auth, they use a certificate from RapidSSL that isn't included in android 2.1 if we include the certificate from GeoTrust Global CA (RapidSSL is an intermediate CA of GeoTrust) I think that should work
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.

What exactly do you mean by that?
Do you want the Moon Reader .apk file?
Moon reader apk file compatible with the nook simple touch would be great.
