[Q] Appbrain Install?

I've performed the updates to my G Tablet as described in the superthread which are great! I've moved on to trying to install PnPlay but it's not available in what I can see in the Market. It looks like I could install it through AppBrain, but the AppBrain app is not available in what I can see in the market either. I can't find the .apk anywhere else.
Can someone please provide a suggestion for how I can install AppBrain?
Thanks!

Check out my thread on the full market fix in GTablet Android Development. I see AppBrain in my market now.

Have you done the market fix? It will show up in the market after that. Search for titanium in the market. If you don't see that either you need to do the market fix to fill it up.

Thanks for the tip. Followed instructions in this thread for Market fix and it worked like a champ.

A couple points.
1. Doing the market fix will give you a lot of apps but, depending on your ROM, you may still be missing some apps.
2. AppBrain helps you search whats on the market. However, if you cannot see a program in the market AppBrain isn't going to be able to install it.

Hey Swift. That's not necessarily true.
With AppBrain and Fast Web Installer enabled, I was able to download apps like VPlayer that didn't show up on my marketplace.

fast web refuses to install in tnt 2.2... worked in cm6b4 though. it insists that there's a device-specific compatibility error, which i've never seen before...
edit: refuses to *run* post install from the market is what i specifically mean.

Fast web installer refuses to run for me too, vegan b3

[Q] No apps in Honeycomb?

I installed honeycomb last night but its quite empty, no apps? I installed it mainly for the "Books" app that I saw on Xoom hands-on videos. Where do I get it from?
Many thanks

I don't know that the Books app is publicly available yet. You can however install market and get plenty of apps (although some may not work on HC yet).

Just got my Nook Honeycomb'd w/ v3.0. This is going to be very fun!! ADB'ing my way to the Market now.

I believe you will want to install v3 of bluedeeper's honeycomb image or you will be missing a ton of apps from the marketplace. Not sure if this was fixed with v2 or not. I guess it recognizes the nook as a Nexus device or something and allows you to download more apps.

hey all, i have another question about apps in honeycomb. I am using the 2GB honeybunches version that comes with market preinstalled. All the apps seem to be there as far as i can tell. but whenever i go to download an app it starts downloading and then quits without downloading the app. i keep pressing yes to install but it keeps doing the same thing. Any thoughts?

Try opening market from the market widget and if that doesn't work, clear cache and data and force close the Google services framework and the market. Also a couple of revolts and retries got it working for me.
Also, make sure you are using v2.

Did a reboot and apps are now downloading and installing from market! Thanks for the help!

I'm not talking about the market, but rather this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGP3KKbDOKc "Books" app.

The HC on the NC right now is a "SDK Preview". It doesn't contain any of the apps that you might have seen Google demonstrate on devices like the G-Slate / XOOM Tablet. For now, you'll just have to wait until the XOOM is released, a system dump is performed and the APKs are liberated / ported from that dump. The only way it might happen any faster is a pre-release ROM leak. Even then, the release HC AOSP might be needed for one reason or another before they'll install or fully function. Renderscript for example (the new HC feature required for much what you've seen in the videos) probably won't work right away.

[Q] Update sideloaded App via market. Possible?

My Cappy is rooted running Cognitive 4.1. I applied the SGS tool fix to Market and I have app that I outside the market (sideloaded, applanet, browser, etc. etc).
1) Market may update the app if they see it. What if they not? Read elsewhere that there is an app for that, but don't want to add another up to keep market working
2) Market will not update keys of sideloaded apps, is there a remedy for that?
3) I applied sgs fix to the market, how I know that I am seeing all the market now?
Thanks

use the program "MCleaner" from the market. it works for FREE apps only, there is NO WAY to add PAID apps to the market list if you sideloaded them.

And for good reason. I.e. pirating.
Ps. I'm not accusing anyone of anything.

Can anyone find super manager from the market?

Yeah, I'm running the same ROM & the Market fix from the video on YouTube and I see it, fourth entry down from ipop.

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.

Updated Nook App (v 2.7) Doesn't Run under CM7

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.)
