Not able to download Amazon App - Nook Color General

Unable to download Amazon App. I click on the icon from amazon.com and it says file not found. Any ideas? I'm running CM7

It keeps say Not Found The requested item could not be found.

I' m not familiar yet w/ cm7, so there may be an easy fix I don' t know about, but have you tried dling the app on another device (or copying from another device), and either copying it into your cm7 nook & then installing? Or pushing it & installing w/ adb?

What URL are you using to try to download it? I'm having no problem getting the APK from: amzn.to/getamazonappstore (Sorry I can't post it as a link, as I'm still a "new" user).

Skunk, cool thanks. Did that and works fine.

you can't get it directly, you have to sign up for it and have the apk sent to your email. that's how they do it.
look for the icon that says app store with email sign up towards the right side of the page

[Q] Epic 4G ProgramMonitor Widget running on Captivate?

Hi Folks,
I just read a review of the Epic 4G and it goes into detail about a Task/System/App Manager widget by samsung that comes on the Epic 4G. The file is named SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor.apk
I downloaded it from a message post in xda this morning (don't remember the link sorry) Anyway I tried to download it via Captivates browser and it kept saying installation unsuccessful and then I tried to install via adb and command line and it gave me the [.....NO CERTIFICATE] error message or something.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed this widget on their Captivate? If so how?
BTW - my captivate is rooted but running stock JF6 kernel.
If you haven't see this widget, you should check it out - looks really awesome!
Post the .APK
Can you post a link to the .APK. Also, can you confirm that you have enabled side loading?

thanks for posting a link to the .apk
So can anyone else install this successfully on their captivate or am I doing something wrong?
I also have some addtional info - I even installed and tried to use the side loading tool from android central and I get the same result as if I were using adb to install it. I get (again):
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
any thoughts?
I tried to load it and it doesn't work for me. Not sure if it my be a code error or something preventing it from working, I tried with appsloader.
Nope I couldn't get it on my captivate either
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
Didn't work for me either...

I thought that you'd have to just sign the apk yourself to install, but it turns out that that only changes the error to "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]"
No dice.
So I've got it showing up on my list of samsung widgets using TwLauncher, when adding it, it adds a widget box to my screen that says "Problem loading widget", I'll work on this some more later, I'm pretty sure I can get this working, and added to the widgets folder so you don't haver to use TwLauncher

Anyone try to just drop this into system/app?
When I was trying to get MediaHub back after running SRE that is how I had to do it. Drop it into system/app and set the permissions to rw-r-r--
That doesnt work, the widget is locked to that phone, and its locked as a Samsung Widget.
I've figured out how to get this working, but my problem is my computer wont see the mounted drive on my phone anymore, and when i mount it, adb shows it offline, when its not mounted, adb shows it online.. its weird...

Couple Tips on using Google Docs on your Gtab:
Tip #1 comes from schettj | Uploading Documents on your Tablet to Google docs:
In ES File Explorer or your favorite file manager, navigate to the folder with the desired document in it.
Press and hold on the file, Select Send, select Docs
You'll get the Google docs file upload dialog, and the file will be sent "to the cloud!" where it will then be editable in google docs.

So I tried to install on my stock tablet. But I get a message that it can't find a Google account and it closes. How can I get it working
Tia
Seems this needs to be loaded on a phone ( tablet) that has a google login . Must check for credentials etc. Probably not work on a stock Gtab . Not sure about a custom Rom.
If you are on any Rom BUT the TnT based Roms (Stock, TnT Lite, Calk's) just go into settings, then accounts and add your google account.
If you are on any TnT based Rom, I think you will need away to enter an account (I don't think the TnT settings will allow this). Try loading/installing G-mail and or Google Talk.
Now that I think of it, if you have the Market running, your Tab should be registered to that account.
That APK gave me no problems with Vegan RC1

Yeah if you got the market fix in place it will force you to setup a gmail account so any rom that has market should work.
It works! Thanks!

Has anyone gotten this to actually upload any documents yet? The description says you can upload documents from your device and convert to Google Docs format, and I assumed somehow I'd just be able to open a .doc or .xls file from any other app and select Docs.
Doesn't seem to work that way, at least for me, and I can't figure out any other method...
Yeah under "Quick Hints" it says you select Docs when "sharing" a file from another app. So it's what I've been fighting with all night: Quickoffice comes up, and it seems to be the only app configured to handle .doc files so there's no default I can remove.

[Q] Fresh cm7 install, upgraded, and now no market.

So I managed to get CM7 on my nook fairly easily just now (latest versions for everything) however when I was up and running it asked me to upgrade my cm7 version in the notification area. I did but now I have no access to the market. I see the icon but nothing happens when I press it. If I goto manage applications, the market doesn't appear there either. Did I miss something?
The market worked previously, although it was the old school android market, not the new one. I thought that was odd, but after the cm7 update, the market doesnt open.
Reflash gapps

Will do. Wiped the SD card to use as storage so ill have to readd the zip.
Thanks and ill report back.
Bingo. I got a different version of gapps and flashed that, everything works and I have the new market as well.
+1 on thanks.

You didn't really have to do that if you are running CM7 and CWR off the internal eMMC. Just put the .zip on the card, boot into CWR and install .zip from card.
But since you are up and running I guess the point is moot for you.
So I've come across a different problem. I'm trying to get netflix to work but the market tells me "Your device is not compatible with this item".
I looked around and I think I found a fix but I needed to install ES File Explorer..I went to download that and...
"Your device is not compatible with this item".
Thought maybe I could do it through Astro, but same message.
How do I get around this? Especially sicne any of the tricks I found to do it are unavailable to me because of the very same problem.
Thanks!

I redownload the GAPP's file from the CM7 Wiki and then try reflashing it. I dont know what could've happened but I would try that first. As for the file explorer issue, I would download the Dropbox app on your NC and then on your computer, search for the Root Explorer/ES APK and upload it to Dropbox on your computer and then istall it on your Nook Color. Although, I am running Nightly 202 and the entire Market is working for me with no modifications or anything. I think the fact that one of the nightly's changed the DPI to 160, either way, I still have access to the entire Market without modifications.

I had the same issue. What I did was upgrade to latest via ROM mgr pp WITHOUT checking 'load gapps' option which rebooted into latest CM7 nightly without gapps. Then rebooted into recovery, with gapps 0828 loaded on my sdcard, chose wipe cache option then loaded gapps. rebooted, had to reinit gapps but then it all worked.

You never mentioned what version of CM7 you are running. If it is older than nightly 200, install a newer nightly.

You need to download and flash a nightly above 200.

Manual Update not working was missing kindleupdates folder

Hi. I followed the directions off amazon website for manual update but it doesn't work and their instructions are by "corporate standards" lol. I am running 11.3.1.0_user_310084920 and I just downloaded update-kindle-7.4.8_D025_4849020.bin the latest from the amazon website.
Amazons website didn't say anything about a specific folder to put the update into it just said put it into the main drive folder. so I looked it up and there is supposed to be a folder called "kindleupdates" <hopefully case sensitive like this. I just created the folder on the drive and put the .bin into it then i went to the device menu and selected system updates then I click check now cause that is the only option available. after it runs it says last updated failed with a retry button now. when i click the retry button it doesnt work at all just flashes the text of last update failed.
I did this without creating the kindleupdates folder and also with it. nothing happens. and it only wants to connect to wifi if it is disconnected.
adb is working with my device fine if there is anything else i can do. I didn't push the file with adb though, i used gmtp to transfer the file and it is there.
for right this second i am just wanting to get this thing back to full stock since I have it rooted and i have multiple small issues with it like the status bar gone and chaning the build.prop for it doesn't work then work with anything else after since I have uninstalled to many system apps.
i dont have a fastboot cable but i seen and heard from stunts that it may not be needed because of buffer size.
i also unrooted this tablet and factory reset it and all to try the update as well. the root exploit is nice and quick lol
thanks to anyones help
You don't have the right version for your Kf. If you try to flash v7.x.x over your 11.x.x you will brick it.

[Q] Nook apps from Galaxy Tab 4 Nook on HD/HD+

Now that the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is out, how hard would it be to pull the Nook files and create a cwm-flashable zip so we could get access to the Nook app store and potentially a better reader app and the UI on our Nook HD/HD+ running CM11?
I have been wondering the same thing for my devices. I actually went so far as to get the apk for the apps. However, when I loaded the apk and logged in, the device would run the apps but I could not do anything once inside and the kids section would not show the books that I have. I could see the books I had in the regular books section but I could not read any of them. It gave me a message about not being able to download to this device. I have no knowledge of editing the apk for use but I'll put it out there for people to work on.
Anyone have a idea of how to modify this apk to get it to work on CM11 or other ROMS?
The app probably has a build-in prevention to not allow the non-stock rom to run.
OK, I'm certain I'm about to show my ignorance but, why does this link not download NookApp.apk?
That's what the link says but the actual file downloaded was NookApp.zip, and there is no apk file inside. Is an apk file just a wrapper, similar to epub, so that I can change the name from apk to zip to look inside? Can I just rename NookApp.zip to NookApp.apk? I want to poke around with this but I'm confused.
Thanks.

Yes, an apk is really a special zip that has been renamed so that it can be installed in android. So yes, you should be able to just rename it to apk so it can be installed. And any apk can be renamed a zip and explored.
Edit: It really does download as an apk. Your software may have recognized it as a zip as part of downloading and renamed it to a zip. (Or Windows may just be displaying it as a zip if you have Windows set to not show extensions of known file types). But what I said above holds.

I see you're right. I was using IE11 and it downloads as a zip. If I download using Firefox, it downloads as an apk. Strange. I've never ran into that before.

Alright. The nook app let's me log in and empty categories. However I do not know what directories it is looking for things in since nothing has anything in it. Also shop will not load, as in it loads, but says no data found.

So we should be able to create/modify that folder to trick it into working or is there more to it than that. It will see some of my books but I can't access them.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks hmiem81 for posting the apk. I can also see my books, but not download them. Also, it says not authorized on this device. That makes me wonder if messing with the build.prop might fix it? But I don't know the info for the Galaxy Tab Nook.
Update: it created a NOOK folder, so I assume files should be placed in the appropriate subfolder. However, it won't recognize that any files are there. Also, even though it registers as an epub reader, when I try to open an epub from a file manager it crashes, so it can't be used to read drm-free epubs either.
Does anybody have the latest apk for version 1.2.1.120? I'd also be grateful if somebody could post the build.prop from a Galaxy Tab Nook. Thanks.
