[Q] problems with the new market or sideloading apps - Nook Color General

Hi,
After flashing to a new ROM, I lost lots of my data and also I got the new market.
This market does not let me download Astro file manager, Facebook, Google maps, and cannot find Rom manager. These are the few that I checked.
I'm ok with ADB and command line, but I need to know where I can find these apks.
Thanks for anybody that shows me the right direction.

Edit your build.prop and set the LCD density to either 160 or 240. The issue/fix for the Market really should be stickied.

Update: I found an apk that sets the LCD density, and I set it to 160 and then 240 but nothing changed.
Any help?

You also need to clear Market app cache and data after reboot.

Nav & Facebook are both working on mine also
Out of curiosity any other apps from the dump working?? I tried the You Tube app but was unsuccessful, wondering if there's anything else in from the droid dump that's useful on the G1

really? youtube didn't work.. pretty sure that's what I have on mine, not 100% sure, but i'll double check it...
I think for youtube you can just do a Package Installer install, might have to do a adb push for that.

When I tried to adb install I got Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
When I tried adb push then a reboot, it doesn't show up in my app drawer, I think the only new feature of the You Tube was the widget, so I gave up on it quickly and restored the original

hmm what method did u use to install the nav? the one i used changed my build prop and build number maybe that was the reason perhaps i need to push back the old prop.....
I started with a fresh install of cyanogen 4.2.4 wiping my ext4 partition and starting new because of what I read about some programs crashing after editing the prop files.
Then I edited the build.prop line
ro.build.version.release=1.6 to
to
ro.build.version.release=2.0
Then edited build.trout.prop line (use build.sapphire.prop if using MyTouch)
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
to
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
Then booted into the system and installed all my usual apps, haven't had any problems with apps crashing or NAV dissappearing at all
I also found the change needed to get the new YouTube app to work, in the build.prop file change
ro.build.version.sdk=4
to
ro.build.version.sdk=5
I found this in another thread, not my actual work that figured this out, doing another fresh install with cyanogenmod 4.2.5 with this edit also, I'll report back any adverse side effects of this change.
So to recap so far using Maps, Facebook & You Tube apps from the droid dump
****Edit****
After changing the sdk value I started getting fc's for the new facebook for everything, I couldn't even log in, changing the value back to 4 allowed me to log in and it was working normally but the new You Tube app disspaeared from the app drawer. It appears to me at this point I'll have to choose one or the other!!

Can't install Handcent SMS

Recently, I started getting a "not enough storage available" error when trying to install Handcent either from the Market or using a Titanium restore. I know it's not a space issue because all other apps that I have tried install with no problem. I am using A2SD and have about 400 MB free. I have duplicated this error on multiple ROM's so it must be something on my phone. I searched and found something about permissions on *.so files in the lib directory but I don't know enough to fix it myself. Here is a pastebin of the error:
http://pastebin.com/33gKG5Db
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know this is a stupid question but ur not trying to install when card is mounted to computer r u. Also what app2sd r u using, is ur ext partition full, I've also noticed this when I thought I had room then went in and deleated a few old nandroids and then it worked great.
I had the same problem.
Go to Applications
Somewhere in there, there is a handcent registry that is different than the normal handcent program.
Scan through everything, you will find something like com.sms.handcent. Uninstall that as well as the program and you should be able to install.

I see it under applications but every time I click on it I get a f/c on settings (I get the f/c if I click on anything under applications that begins with com.). Any way to do it through ADB? I checked system/sd/app and didn't see the com.handcent.nextsms to remove?

yep... I have had this problem with a couple of apps. The real fun is sometimes that directory is named something completely different then the application name. Then you have to guess at what it is and then check /data/apps to verify it has a missing apk.

Netflix update?

When I run Netflix, it asks me if I want to update. If I answer OK, it cannot find the updated version. Netflix does not show up at all in the Market. I wonder if the edited build.prop causes this.
I just set up a NC for the wife, found the previous Netflix apk and loaded it, but did not modify the prop file...it works, but still gave the same "update" message (but no update apk). Anyone hear from Netflix on this?
I have a HTC Dinc today there was a update for netflix. So maybe just need to sideload the apk. I will try and find the the apk on my Dinc and try it if it works I will post it. I just tried the one from the one from Dinc it worked and took away the update crap. Now if someone can tell me how to add the apk to here I will post it.
I would appreciate the apk if you can post it.
Thanks

I tried this and it didn't work for me.
It'll say application not installed every time.
I just click cancel and it loads the app like normal.
As long as it works, I'm not complaining.

When you create a post, scroll down to Additional Options and there is a place to attach files.
I tried editing build.prop to change from Vision to Dinc, but the Market still couldn't find the Netscape app.
Duh, it's not Dinc but Droid Incredible (neither that nor Incredible worked either).
I cannot edit the build.prop file I keep getting an error message. It will not allow me to save the changes for netflix to work. Nook Color Cyanogen Mod7 nightly build 101

Are you using Root Explorer and changing to R/W? You need long press the file and select open in text editor
Here is the APK from the Dinc

I am using ES explorer

This nook netflix fixer app worked for me. I couldn't mount the /system partition as rw, so I emailed this apk to my gmail account, installed it, and it fixed it for me.

I installed that and Netscape said that the service is not available on my device.
I looked at the file and it changed the manufacturer line to HTC, but left the model as NookColor. Editing this line fixed it again, so it appears that the Nook Fixer app needs some more tweaking.
Too bad, as it requires many fewer steps than editing build.prop (I use Root Explorer, which allows me to mount the partition as rw).
I tried your fix and I still have the problem anymore suggestions anyone.
I figured that it was because CM7 updated to a newer gingerbread version in the nightlies and netflix isn't compatible, therefore not showing up for an incompatible device in the market

So far mine says there's an updated app but I can continue on and use it as-is, it's not forcing me to do anything..

New Android Markey not allowing me to install Quickpick

Hi! today I realized that my Android Market application was magically updated (?), it looks completely different and is shown as v3.1.3.
Now I'm trying to install QuickPic and it says 'your device is not compatible with this item'
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I'm stuck..., according to the instructions[1] the first step is to set dpi=160 in build.prop. My /system/build.prop has only one line related to density and it's this one:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=161
Is that the line that I have to modify? or for some reason my build.prop does not have all the settings required?
I've also tried LCDDensity and it indicates that the dpi value was set properly, but I don't know where to check that, if I cat the file qemu.sf.lcd_density it's still at 161 (after a kill).
I tried to rebuild the cache but I'm still having issues to install new apps ('your device is not compatible with this item').
Thanks in advance for some help.

Help Ginger Yoshi 1.5

Hi to all,
i've a htc dream g1 with the last release of ginger yoshi, and i've the problem that with same application the size of screen ins't correct, shown the apps more smaller that real dimension...
Please help me!
PS.
i found this problem since the GY version 1.3

...
I'm sorry,but i think that insn't the laucher.
It is Zeam laucher and when i go to setting there aren't any option
to set the screen resolution or similar...
Please Help me...
ok, try opening the rom.zip file, than open system folder to find build.prop... open that with a text editor (notepad+) scroll throught the build.prop untill you find a line that says
ro.sf.lcd_density = 160
if it says any other number, than change it to 160
if you dont see the text, than just add it and see if that changes anything when you reflash the rom...
be aware if you are using AmonRA you must sign the rom after zipping it
