[Q] Google Apps Not Starting - Nook Color General

I have rooted via manualnooter
nook version 1.3
The market (v2.3.6)will not open. The screen flashes and it closes.
Gmail app will not open. The screen flashes and it closes.
Google talk does the same thing.
In the logCat file there are lots of entries for "Failed to find provider info for com.google.settings". I'm not sure if that is related, but it seems like it might be.
I'm thinking there is something wrong my google account. Does anyone have an idea on what I can do. I've been searching, but I'm coming up empty.
Thank you!!

Did you fix permissions after rooting?

Of course when I finally decide to post I find the answer. Apparently the 1.3 update messed it up. This thread had the answer. I had rerun the manualnooter files, but I needed to login to the market between the two versions.

market canno't run after upgrade to 1.1.0 with

nookcolor 1.0.0 with official update to 1.0.1 then with autoroot, that enable android market, and run smoothly
after update to 1.1.0 use the following rom [ROM] Nook Color V1.1.0_r2, market won't run anymore, I tried to
use http://market.android.com to install new apps, but it doesn't work too. does anyone have the clue?
[ROM] Nook Color V1.1.0_r2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
tried to restore to origianl 1.0.0 rom, but it boot to Clockwork Recovery everytime
what do you mean market wont run? if you are getting the server error message just wait eventually it will work. it seems like with the new market, google is changing settings on peoples accounts which will block your device from accessing the market. i had the same problem but the next day it was gone.
if you tried to put your nook back to stock and now its only booting into CWR go to the developers thread and they have multiple ways to recover your nook
here
and here
To restore to stock you need to remove the SD card and then press and hold the power button until it powers off and then press to turn on, wait until the N appears and press and hold power until it turns off and then repeat this process for like 8 times or so and it will then update the firmware to stock.
Im seeing the same thing.. Ver 1.1.0 and get the Market Server error everytime i try to launch the Market.
I updated to 1.1 and then booted with Autonooter 3.0 image. The Market works fine setup wizard was all I needed and all my apps are there. So, it's not definitely not the B&N 1.1 update causing the problem.
Also couldn't get the market to run after upgrading to 1.1.0
Press the icon and it would flash a white screen then back to the app folder. Youtube was doing this as well and I was able to fix it by removing and reinstalling, but I can't do this with the market apparently (just keeps running the install then saying market not installed)
I tried to make anflashable evrsion of the vending.qpk but it didn't even run because I have no clue how to make flashable packages for CWR.
Any ideas? Kinda sux not having the market

Don't use CWN and that ROM then (not that there's anything wrong with it).
Backup anything you don't want to lose by copying it your computer in any way you can / want.
Instead try going back to stock like described here...
http://www.nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
Then update to 1.1 from official B&N update found here...
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nookcolor-support-software-update/379002520/?cds2Pid=35758
Then boot with AutoNooter 3.0 from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942424
Connect to WiFi and then just follow the setup wizard.
After that...run the market, agree to market terms and you're done!
FYI, I didn't have to use Youtube to get the Market to work. The Setup Wizard worked all on it's own.
Ok, let me rephrase. Any ideas on why I can't instal the market. Tips to get it reinstalled? I did this once on my phone and I had to remove all traces of the market first, hurt I can't remember where all the files and folders were located.
I like using CWR as it is what I am familiar with

Market runs -but not well...?
Total newbie - seamlessly rooted NC 1.1 yesterday - (so grateful to developers!)
One of the only problems I have encountered is with Market -- I've searched and searched these forums to see if anyone else is having a similar problem -- but have yet to find anything.
I am able to access Market, and download apps with no problem. The only issue is when I view anything in the Market, it only shows roughly 10 results in any list I view. If I do a search, it may indicate that there are 754 results but will only list 10-12 of the results. Not a dealbreaker of course but if there's a work around, or fix, I'd love to know.
TIA

Use AppBrain app. You're on older android market.
Took the gapps zip from the Monster package and removed all files except the contents of META-INF and the vending.apk and flashed in CWR, market back .

[Q] PlayOn and Newer Youtube

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.

How to create account for Android Market?

Ok so I just got my Milestone rooted yesterday and installed iceandfire custom rom on it.
After doing so, I found out that there's no Android Market app installed on it. After a quick Google search, it seems there is no official download link for the app, and that it only comes pre-installed on certain devices, not all of them.
Anyway, I did some search and found that I can easily install it by just downloading the .apk file and use Astro (which comes pre-installed with iceandfire) to install it. I found the link here:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloadinstall-new-android-market-apk-application-v-3-0-26/
So I downloaded it and it installed fine. I then launch it and it pops up a message saying I don't have an account and then I need to sign in or create one. I click on OK to create one but nothing pops up. I rebooted my phone and did it again, still the same thing. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I've tried many suggestions, mostly from here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android Market/thread?tid=2c6343eb1c5c4e2e&hl=en
and none of it works. Can someone give me some help?

You need to first flash Google Apps (gapps) and you will get the Market and other Google services. You can create a gmail account on your computer and use that to sync with your phone.

Ya I already have a Gmail account, just couldn't figure out how to get it to work with Android Market.
Hmm I also did find some info on gapps, I downloaded it but couldn't install it using Astro. Do I put that in the updates folder, the same as where I put the custom rom, and then apply the update? Would I have to remove the custom rom first to prevent it from flashing my phone again?
YOU HAVE TO FLASH GAPPS !!!
Do it like you flashed Ice and Fire and any other MOD in OR !!
Some times it's very important to READ a Thread and don't only search for Downloadlinks.
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
yup, got it flashed and installed successfully. Now I have another problem, I can't seem to get it to sign in? I get this message:
"cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer care"
At first I thought it's probably my connection, so I tried using 3G instead of WIFI, but still the same thing. I then tried to create an account but it gave me the same error, so I can't create or sign in at all.
I did a quick search and people have said it could be that the SIM card or your service provider doesn't support it or something. Which doesn't make sense as why would setting up an account like this be relevant to your service provider? It's just the same as setting up an exchange or email account on any device.......also, while I was still using Windows Mobile on my Xperia X1 or HTC Touch Pro, I was able to install Android on it and went through the same setup process and got it working properly. So I don't think it's gotta do with the SIM card....

Market issue

I have 2 nooks, a nook color and a touch which both started having issues with the market sunday. Both worked Saturday and as far as I know there was no update. The color gives a server error and won't even connect. The touch is unable to download anything. This appears to only affect the market app. I can connect directly with a browser. Both have cm7. Anyone have any thoughts?
Tried restoring market & data.

Have same issue on my Nook color yesterday.. WIFI is on, able to browse through browser, but when was trying to connect to marked it says "No Connection" RETRY. Are you able to resolve it?
Hey, y'all! I'm getting the same problem too, I just loaded CM7 to my NC and the market won't function. I even installed the Play Store from an apk and all that shows up is "Server Error" and a retry button. And, retrying gives the same screen. Help would be very much appreciated!
Has anyone been able to get the Market Place or Play Store to work properly? I've tried deleting the data and the cache for the new Play Store. I've gone back to an older verision of the Market Place...and I get the same "No Connection" Retry error.
I get into the Market and can look around without any problems. But when I try to access my apps, it fails. I'm not able to update any of my apps.
I have no problem with play store today and yesterday. I am running CM7 on uSD from dual CM7/CM9 image with 0305 update.
I resolved the market issue by restoring the last backup. I am not sure what happened but it looks like I lost a few things somewhere. I am having no problems with the new market either, and it also works with ics (on sd) for me.

I'm not sure the issue is the market app. 1.1 was an old version of android (eclair) and the mbs app may need froyo or higher before the market will allow it to be shown as available.
I recommend that you update your B&N software to the latest version (1.4.3) and root it again. Use Manual Nooter 5.08.20 to root it. It will then have the latest market (play store) and be updated to froyo. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A15 to get the update. You can always make a nandroid backup of your system with CWM as it is now and if you don't like the new version, just restore your backup to return to rooted 1.1.
PS, the reviews that I saw for that app are terrible. You might want to check that out before making any changes.
EDIT: GMPOWER says it needs gingerbread so updating to 1.4.3 will not help. It is froyo and is one level down from gingerbread. I now recommend putting CM7 on an SD install. To do that, follow Taosaur's blog here:

The app specifically says that it requires android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) and up. You will need to install CM7 over the stock firmware, or on the SD card, all of that information should be covered in "leapinlar's" tips page.

Can't get GAPPS to work correctly

Hello everyone. I am new to this rooting process for a kindle fire and am trying to get the Google Play store working so that I can download new apps. what I have done so far is to load Hashtag's version of Jellybean and then the gapps. when I try to use the play store I keep getting the "server error, retry" grey screen. then what I did was to remove Hashtag's version and load Jandycane's version of Jellybean and I am getting the same error message. I am able to use the GMAIL app with my google log in but after reading one email, the app crashes. if anyone can please point me in the direction to fix this it is greatly appreciated. I have looked all through this forum for a solution but came up empty.
