I have cm7 on my bootable sd card and I wanted to install some apps that i downloaded on my computer through my micro sd card. The app is a pdf viewer. Do I use the same process I used to install gapps? Or can i do it through the normal operating system?
If it is a regular apk, you can use a file browser to find it, select it, and it should ask to install via package installer. If it is a flashable zip, you can flash via recovery.

cool got it working
Another option is to install the app DropBox on both your Nook and your PC and when you have something you want on your PC just drop it in the folder and the Nook will sync with it and you can install that way.... or change wallpaper, add documents, etc....

If you used the "fastboot oem unlock" method, then your data partition was wiped clean afterwards. Assuming your apps installed to your SD card were done using the Froyo apps2sd method, only a part of each app was installed to the SD card. Some / most of the app (depending on the app) remained in your /data/app directory. Without both pieces (on internal and external storage), the apps won't work. You will have to reinstall those apps.
Hi all! I have been lurking for about 2 weeks and am now a member. 1st post
My unrooted NC is running great with Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 via SD card. I used a Sandisk 8GB (Class 2 ) from an old Blackberry Storm. Being a Class 2, I had my doubts on the SD card but good ol' Sandisk came through. Everything (YouTube/Market/Mail/Facebook/Pandora/Games/etc) is working fine and smoothly for the past 2 days. I hope it stays that way.
Here are my questions:
1). Is there a File Manager already pre-installed with the NF ROM? If not, which one should I get from Market?
2). I have SetCPU (apk file) on my Win7 laptop hard drive. What is the easiest way to install this since I am booting NF ROM via SD card already?
Thanks in advance
1) Not sure, but i've read Root Explorer or Astro File Manager
2) I used ADB. you can get that from the android sdk. Its fairly simple.

Will ADB work if I am not rooted & my ROM is in the SD card? Is it possible to access the apk via email in NC and then save?
Or maybe via SD card reader on laptop? Where do I drop the file?
The ROM you are running, same as I am running, comes with Astro file manager. The easiest way to transfer files is to get a free Dropbox account, if you would like you can use my referral.

That's the same way I did it. Loaded Froyo from SD, pushed file via ADB. Gotta search for the command lines though.

Thanks! I will check it out tonight when I get home. So from Dropbox, where do I put the apk file on the SD card?

Cool! I was just trying to avoid ADB, if I could I'll look for the commands. Post back here if you find them too.

Once you install the dropbox app on your PC and phone you just drop the apk into your PC dropbox and then download it, using dropbox on your phone. Go to the dropbox folder on your SD using Astro and just tap on the apk and viola it is installed. Dropbox is basically cloud storage that you can sync to multiple devices.

Suh-weet I know what Dropbox is (on my iPad), but I didn't know it was *that* easy to install apk files
Hmmm, there's no Astro in my copy of NF 0.6.8.
I'm running CM7, and I'm Canadian. Whenever I try to install the Nook Android App it says requested item not found. Is there some way I can install this?
I got an SD card with honeycomb on it (I hated it) so I wiped it and install CM7 with apps and I cannot for the life of me get the nook android app back on it like he did (he was American) Does anyone have a trick to get this to work?
Probably the easiest way: (Search how for each of these steps)
Make your SD card bootable with Clockwork Mod Recovery
Download to your PC the .zip file of the ROM you want to install
Place the ROM in the root directory of your SD card
Turn off the Nook and put the card in
Turn on the Nook. It will Boot into Clockwork
Once in Clockwork, Wipe the Cache, Dalvik Cache and Data
Flash the ROM (install the .zip file from the SD card)
When it completes, remove the card and re-boot. (The first boot can take quite a while!)
RECOMMENDED: Also download and install the GoogleApps.zip the same way you installed the ROM
(As I mentioned, you'll have to search for the exact directions for these steps, but that's how I'd do it.

Nice. Is that google apps + nook app + other apps I assume?
I have a Nook HD it hasnt been modded. I was trying to play a APK file game from my SD card and the Nook would not recognize it. Can anyone tell me what type of file format my game should be to play? What are the formats of the games that you get from the Google Playstore?
Thanks for any help.

That apk file does not 'play', it installs the application. And in order to install an apk file on a stock HD, you must go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD and use it to flash my Enable Unknown Sources zip. Then the apk will install.

OK So in what format are the NOOK HD games? What program should I use to flash the card? I tried downloading WIN32 discimager but it wont download properly. Would having WINrar installed on my desktop be effecting it? What other programs are there for disc imaging?
Thanks for the help.

Just read the instructions in that thread. Winrar should not matter. You should keep trying to get win32diskimager working.
And I don't know what you mean by format of games. The installation file is an apk.

I'm using the bacon reader app (reddit) and it allows you to upload pictures but a hen I click the Button to do so it says it can't find the gallery.
I've noticed that I pretty much have to open all images through es file Explorer cause the "gallery" option won't work
If you didn't install Gallery when you flashed CROMi-X it won't be there... Is it in your app drawer? If not you didn't select it in Aroma.
Re-flash the rom and select in on the Google Apps page. Or install QuickPick which is much better but I have no idea if it works with bacon reader.

I had that problem until I did a full wipe of system, data, and SD card. Be sure to test your external SD card first though, as your tablet will be a blank empty slate after fully wiping.
