Has anyone tried out the new swype? v3.25? Let me know how it is!
I installed it earlier today and it seems to work great. They finally fixed the jumpy cursor issue and the new copy paste features works surprisingly well too. All in all, this update was much needed and definitely addressed most of my issues with the previous versions.
It looks just like the most recent swype beta before it.
The jumpy cursor fix is the main thing for me.
I haven't tried copy and paste yet.
I'm running andromeda 3 on my captivate that comes with a non-expiring version on swype but I still want to update it. I've done it before, but this time around its telling me I can't install it even after removing the previous version APK and other files/folders related to it. Any ideas?

I had that trouble with one of the beta installs. I think I had to uninstall, reboot then install. It's been a while though.
I actually found a few more folders with Swype file names. I don't know if that was necessary to delete them all, but I did anyways. And I don't recall if I rebooted the first few times I tried, but I did after I got rid of the other 2 folder/files and re-downloaded the new installer and it finally worked. I like the new features; minor but good.

thank you!i try it
why you don`t show some pic
Got it too two days ago, when the paid market is available to Singapore. I was browsing the market and find it look different but cannot figure out what is it, until I go to downloads and realise that it has a Update All button, this where I realise I got the 2.2 market.
However I thought the new market is only 2.2 only?
Great
Will try out later
i got the update but now i'm having force close and when i uninstall and go back, it keeps getting update, anyone experiencing this?

Mine crashed when I first tried to open a paid app's page, but after that it works again, when I reopen Market. Have you tried uninstalling the update and let it update again and once it done that, close and reopen market and try to poke around to see if it force close again.
Thanks for this, used the Apk... no issues to report.
Market Update (eclair)
90% of people already got it...
Good lookin out though! Worth the DL for those on custom roms that didnt get it.
I havent received this update and the APK provided causes force closes all the time. Im Telus Milestone on telus running GOT 2.1 update /w TELUS Lite 4.1
anyone else getting this problem?
Just update manualy. This silent update needs OTA update enabled. As it is basicly OTA, but just the silent version And custom ROMs dont have OTA working usualy.
The best feature in this market was not posted.
This market remembers what apps you had installed, and after doing factory/changing ROM this market automaticly installs back all the apps! Wonderful, no more need for MyBackupPro, well it is for apps that should be bought

Im also running TELUS Lite 4.1 and getting the exact same problem.
sooo... what features do we gain over the update that was given by default, versus your .apk file?
Is it really worth my time to get this?
As far as know there is no difference to getting update ofcialy or like this way? After all update only updates the market app, nothing else.
Thanks for apk.
I (for one) did NOT receive this update (OTA).
THANKS for the APK! I appreciate it...
Hi guys,
after applying update.zip for GRI40, I was reinstalling Swype as usual.
Removed the app, opened installer, it updated to latest version, but now it won't connect to swype beta program, saying that "The data network experienced a problem. Please try again.", even though I have a working wifi connection.
Are you also having that?
Thanks,
Henrique.
Same thing happened to me. It worked after I removed the Installer as well and then re-fetched it from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/
I had this problem with the last update. You probably have an outdated installer. Just grab the latest one from the swype website.
Correct.
There are no problems with the Swype executable on Gingerbread. Remove Swype and the Swype installer, then get both from the beta site again. The new installer should keep things up to date, and as has been suggested, that could be why you are having problems.
Thank you, all.
As I had mentioned, the installer did update to the latest version.
But my stupidity avoided it from working. In my hurry to get ginger all set'n'ready, I misstyped my email.
I do think they should come up with a better exception handling, though.
Apparently, they have a generic exception being caught and they cast all kinds of errors into that one exception, and that's how a wrong email ID ends up as a network problem.
Anyways, thanks to all.
I just got my NC last night in the mail and got it rooted and pretty much how I want it. Just 2 questions.
1) PlayOn from MediaMall doesn't show up in the market but I copied it from my phone (Captivate) and it doesn't show up as a app and won't install. I copied it to /data/app, same location it was, on the Captivate.
2) When I first rooted the newer YT app worked and then I got the instant close, I got a version working but I wanted to see if there is a way to get the new one working again?
I have searched and didn't come up with much.
Thanks.
Edit: NM Playon requires 2.2 , I will leave the question about PlayOn here for reference if anyone else tried to install.
Edit: I found a thread that has a signed_youtube.apk.
I remembered that last night Search wasn't working, thats why I didn't find anything.
Youtube stopped working after a reboot! Seems like wipe data in TiBu worked after reboot, does this need to be done every time? Or does this have to do with accessing My Channel?

I don't Think that Question has ever been fully answered for the stock roms. All I know is that at some point the youtube app will stop working and you have to clear the cache. I doubt it will get fixed, people are far to interasted in getting the newer roms working. Once B&N creates a stock 2.2 rom maybe then the issues with go away.

You can get Froyo running off SD. Also most Apps won't work if you just push them to the Android Device. If you have adb working run "adb install appname.apk" otherwise go to Settings --> Apllication --> Unknown Sources then copy the APKs to the Internal Storage and then use Astro File Manager to Install them.

Anyone gotten the new ROM yet? I followed the instructions over at the this thread and it doesn't look like it worked.
The instruction that states "Once you are back up, you can use the browser to download and run .APK files from anywhere."..
When I go to the browser and try to select "Zeam-2.9.2.apk" or "Superuser.apk" which are mentioned in the post, I get an 'Unsupported file format'.
Sounds like something didn't work right, but I'm not sure what that is.. anyone here seen that problem?
I tried to post this in that thread, but didn't have access to it....
You can install without unrooting on 1.1 version only. 1.0 and 1.01 need to be unrooted. Once the update is installed, you can use this hack (hamncheese's) to kinda root the new stock froyo version, but it is not a real rooting. As of 4:45pm pst no one has gotten a working root for the new 1.2 version. Give it a couple of days and they will have a method to totally root the nook on the new version. Or, you can run dual boot and be happy for the time being until they get the new root patch.
......
I probably should have been clearer.. my bad.. I did try hamncheese's kinda root, but it didn't look like it worked.

You and me both.......... LOL I d give it a couple of days maybe tomorrow they will have the root patch figured out... Tell you wife it has been only 24 hours......... XDA Devs are fast but sheesh....... they need a little time......
I was unable to do this. It attempted to install, then rebooted, then attempted installation, then rebooted... I unrooted, did a full restore and allowed the update. Not so impressed to be honest with the stock Froyo. Seriously considering going back to rooted 1.1.
Read the thread, it sure does not work hope someone comes up with an answer. Thanks
Just got my Nook and had it updated in the store. The guy says, "it should have lots of other apps plus Angry Birds".
Well, it is 1.2, but no apps and no Angry Birds... Figures.
I too hope someone gets 1.2 Root-able soon.
I sideloaded 1.2 and in the "shop" section, you can "buy" Angry Birds. It's $2.99. Its not RIO or Seasons but it is Angry Birds so maybe you can appease the wife until a root is released. I downloaded it (bought it) and it works great! Ken
anyone know when an new auto-root might be out?
Should be very soon. They got the market working in the manual root.

I know some say the market works but I am still having trouble with it. I cannot seem to install anything. I click the app to download and install, it "starts" the download but the progress bar doesnt fill. Then it suddenly fills, says installing, then dumps me back to the app's description page, with nothing installed. It reports that the "download unsuccessful" so I repeat the install again...no change
I am tempted to go back to 1.1 since 1.2 doesnt offer me anything new unless rooted....
You have an sd card in?

yep. In that case I either get "download unsuccessful" or "installation failed"
need an autorooter
I have tried almost everything to root my 1.2 and am getting nowhere. I am a newbie but successfully rooted. bricked and wiped using instructions and a lot of head time. Just can't get my head arround it this time. I need to root so I can get the NetFlix app running. Thanks guys for your hard work.

Forget about running netflix unless you are willing to flash the cyanogen rom. There are settings that you simply cannot change (at this time) without switching to a different rom. I dont know what to tell you other than to follow the directions others have already posted. The problem with the cyanogen rom is that it does not put the nook to sleep properly when the screen is turned off, so the battery life drains like a leaky faucet. But, I think they have finally started to figure that out so I think that it should be added to one of the next iterations. Once it does, I will happily switch over to using that rom, especially now that the nook app allows magazines etc.
UPDATE ON FAILED INSTALLS: Turns out that only SOME applications do not install correctly, I have been able to install others from the android market place and amazon market place. Angry birds (any version) is one that will NOT install. Any tips? I have definitely used an sd card properly with no change.

That is not correct; with rooted stock 1.2 it is quite simple (especially with Root Explorer).
As for installing Angry Birds, if you are on rooted stock 1.2, try downloading it WITHOUT the SD card mounted.
interesting
Interesting, I will try to enable netflix by changing the file using this method:
http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/05/how-to-watch-netflix-on-nook-color/
I had read a post that mentioned I needed to use ES File explorer to access the file. ES File explorer didnt want to cooperate and complained about my rom, and i figured I need to be running a different rom.
As for the angry birds, I have tried installing with and without the sd card and not had any luck.

when you first install an app, it should ask you what you want to install it with. One option is "Android Package Installer" and that's the one you want. I chose the other one the first time around and ended up restoring and rechoosing. The other package installer (i think it's called nook something or other) does not allow you to select the permissions for the program, and thus, will not install the applications properly.
To test and see if that is the issue, try to install an app... if it comes up with the permissions for the app upon install, then that is probably not the issue. On the other hand, if it immediately just says failed, then you may have chosen the wrong package installer.
also,
For problems with large file install errors, such as angry birds, try installing the kernel in the this thread... that's what worked for me. Alternatively, if you want to install angry birds, etc, then you can copy the apk over to internal memory, take the sd card out, and then install it. (this kernel makes that unnecessary though)
Rooting nook is easy when using the CM7 Mod. You can get the market working with out problem and would be able to run most application and games. I had raging thunder 2 running with out problem.
The thing that I don't like on it is that, CM7's replacement of the stock softkeys (navigation buttons on the buttom) seems to be designed for mobile phones as they are small buttons.
So i unrooted my nook but would be trying this link and see what i can get:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
I've seen this in other areas for other phones but mine just started doing this an hour ago. Can get free apps fine just not paid ones.
As a work around, can't you buy them from the Market website and have them pushed to your phone?
haven't tried that
but I will. Just wondering if this is another one of those 'old topics'. The only thing I did was flash the 1.8 ROM and then I put on bigDX.bionic.green and my phone reset. After that was when this started (I didn't know the bionic.green would actually be like a ROM my bad). On the other hand my wifi issue with the market appears to be gone. Wondering if it's happend to anyone on THIS device as it seems all are a bit different
I think it's an issue in the newest Market release. I'll check my versions momentarily.
cool thanks
For the record I did get something from the market online and was able to purchase from there and download to my phone.
Had the same problem
I had the same problem after updating to DroidTh3ory's [R3]Blurr3d 1.8. Here's how I fixed it:
Was poking around in Titanium Backup and saw that the version of Market installed on my phone was 3.2, and my backed up version was 3.15. I deleted the 3.2 version completely through Titanium, then restored the backup and it's worked fine ever since. Make sure you delete the 3.2 version first. I couldn't get the backup restoration to take right until I did.
Hope that Helps!
NetRangerM
thanks
will give it a try and update!
Ok I noticed the version on my phone and the one in my Titanium were the same (3.2) so that didn't work. Should I try to get an older version of the market and, if so, where can I find one? thanks
i had already tried that, and it didnt work. Just tried it again and now i can make purchases. I (and google) thank you.
