Hi,
I was going to follow up a post in the Manualnooter thread but I can't post there.
So I cannot install Dolphin Browser HD to save my life. In the playstore on the nook, it's not visible. In playstore on my pc, it says it's not compatible. I tried sideloading it, going into root explorer but i get "problem parsing". Does anyone have any ideas what else I can do?
Also, I hate mobile/mini versions of browsers. Are there any alternatives for full browsers?
Thanks in advance.

Opera Browser is my preferred browser. I can share my settings with those at home and work on my pc's and laptops... though there are other features of Opera that surpass those in Dolphin and Firefox.
As to Dolphin, it should work on Manualnooter. On mine, I purchased the B&N Dolphin app. Works well though I rarely use it.
As for PlayStore view, you are correct, I don't see Dolphin HD but I do see Dolphin Browser Mini and other Dolphin addons and themes for HD. Interesting.
Try Opera Mobile or get HD thru the B&N app. Either way, they turn your NC into a great tablet.

Yes there is, just DL from websites offering APK Downloads. Once DL'd, put into uSD, open it from there and Viola, you're using Dolphin Browser HD.
Note:
Dolphin Browsrer HD works on CM 7.2 for Nook Color, so it should work nonetheless for Rooted Stock Nook.

Dizz, I thought stock 1.4.2 on Nook Color is now Gingerbread. I know 1.4.2 on Nook Tablet is.

This is directly from B&N 1.4.2 build.prop:
ro.build.version.release=2.2.1
2.2.1 is Froyo
2.3.x is Gingerbread
Additionally.... B&N stock 1.4.3 is also 2.2.1
This is why users must use Dalagrin's froyo kernels if they want over-clocking...
WARNING CM7 (Gingerbread) and CM9 (Icecream Sandwich) kernels WILL NOT work with any B&N stock AOSP at this time.

Ok. I guess just because version number is the same as nook tablet, they are not the same version of android. It has been a very long time since I had stock on my color. Thanks for clearing that up.
No problem at all.. just didn't want anyone doing anything that's not good

I have my nook color running on nookie froyo 0.6.8, but the market won't show me all apps like skyfire or android facebook. Does anyone know how to make them appear??
The second question is how do i get flash videos to work, i already downloaded the flash app but flash videos on browser wont play. For example youtube videos from browser. I can see the videos from the youtube app fine but not from browser.
Thanx in advance.

You have to setup adb on your computer and 'push' google apps onto your nook, nookdevs.com has a detailed howto.. and the only way i have gotten flash to work is to download adobe flash from market THEN dolphin hd browser... you might also get the google apps aka gapps to install by flashing them with cwr, but im not 100% on that. Hope this helps.. its how i got those things to work on my nookie froyo 0.6.8
Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (zoom2)/Tapatalk Pro
Thanx. I was afraid i would have to use that method. Will give it a try when i get time.

Anyone have the latest Flash releasing today?
Other than the old leak, i still haven't seen it anywhere offically....
It's in the market. I dont know how much of a difference it makes since I didn't test it much.
Videos are def more stable now , when there in full screen there even better
what roms/versions are able to get flash from the market?
I'm able to get it from the Market on Nookie Froyo. The prior Market version did not work and I had to revert to the downloaded Flash101.apk. Thankfully 10.2 does work perfectly well so far =) I can't see any obvious improvements though.
doesnt work wid hc v4 2nd edition
On CM7, not only was it the featured app in the Market advertising space, it was also waiting to be installed as an update to 10.1
Cm7 flash 10.2 =
Spoke too soon. For some reason Flash 10.2 stopped working on my Nookie Froyo, but rolling back to the Flash101.apk worked.
Had Flash 10.2 working on Phiremod 5 (CM7). Worked fine for both flash video (given video slowness) and for flash games. Upgraded to day to Phiremod 5.1 and now can't get either Flash 10.1 or 10.2 to work in Browser. YouTube app working very well, tho.
Installed flash 10.2 last night on my froyo 0.68 emmc install from market (it wouldnt do thst for me last week). My stock browser and dolphin browser now successfully play flash and embedded movies.
I am most pleased.

Remember that the only stable installation of NC is the rooted stock B&N which is 2.1 and thereby does not support Flash at all.
SO, only unstable beta builds that change daily, support Flash.
The fact that some of the posters have it working is actually looking good to me.
Nookie Froyo is pretty stable already. The base build is not being tweaked much anymore. It's Gingerbread and Honeycomb that are still a big work in progress.

I can't even see Flash 10.2 in the Marketplace and I'm running Nookie Froyo. It's interesting to see that some are able to make it work.
EDIT: After reading through other posts, I decided to access the Marketplace through Dolphin. I can see it--but when I try to download it, I get the error message
"There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account."
I don't have an Android phone. Any thoughts.
Has there been any word of Adobe Flash working with the Nook Color running Honeycomb? If so, can you tell me how to do it? Thanks.
I believe nothing yet, still waiting for AOSP

Adobe Flash 10.2 works with Honeycomb 3.0 - but Honeycomb 3.0 source code has not been released yet by the Android people, so there is no Nook Color version yet.
The Honeycomb that you can currently use on your Nook Color is the "Preview" which does not run flash.
Yeah.. I tried to install the apk... it says install successful but yet it seem the flash won't integrate with the browser.
Great news, Hulu Plus is now available for 6 Android devices. I wonder if we can get an apk from a compatible smartphone and test it on Nook Color. The compatible devices are:
Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix
Update: Found it here

The app seems to work perfectly on my Nook Color running phiremod v6.3.

Not supported on CM7 n102. Installs fine but wont play anything.
OK, tested it and works fine on my CyanogenMod 7.

What nightly are you using ? Please and thank you.
Latest 7.1 beta and latest Dalingrin OC kernel.
Sent from my Nook Color
By latest 7.1 beta I assume you mean nightly 110?
When I run the app, I get a red and white message popup saying that my device isn't supported. It will allow me to login and manage my queue (big whoop), but it won't play anything.
I'm on CM7 nightly 106, Dal's OC kernel. Build prop is edited for manufacturer = HTC for netflix.
I tried changing my buildprop to match my Nexus one (all kinds of combos until it broke when I changed the processor type), but no joy.
Coincidentally, I am having problems on my Nexus One running CM7 stable (7.0.3-N1-signed). It will start playing, but immediately buffers and then complains about the network (I'm on WiFi).
Any ideas? I'll upgrade to nightly 110 after I run a backup.

Shows stream perfectly for me. Did you modify your build.prop or is it standard? Have you tried using using Rom Manager to fix permissions?
Works perfectly for me too. I'm CM7.1, Build GRI40. My NC thinks it's a "Nexus S" by "samsung" in name only. No fingerprint mods were made when I did this a while back to make Netflix work (which also runs great).
I found my APK here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136634
Well, CM7 nightly 110 didn't help. Switching to Phiremod 6.3 didn't make a difference. Tried Nexus S / Samsung in build.prop (after switching back to nightly 110) and not only did Hulu+ android app refuse video playback, Netflix is impersonating Alvin and the Chipmonks©.
Guess its back to HTC in the build.prop and waiting for an update to Hulu+ for me.
Oh, and the problem with my Nexus One constantly buffering was my modified hosts file for AdBlocking. I had to "Revert" to normal to get Hulu+ working on my N1. (It made no difference on my Nook either).
Question for folks that have it running on your Nooks: Did you ever modify your Flash player to get Hulu working in your browser prior to installing the dedicated app?

I'm running the official CM 7.0.3 (Encore build) with stock / non-overclocked kernel. Your issue is likely kernel / overclock related. It could also be that the unstable nightlies don't work. Try a stable build.

I don't think the OC is the problem (except for the Netflix Chipmonks, that's a "known issue"). To be sure I didn't load one until I restored my CM7 n110 install at the end.
Phiremod 6.3 includes an OC kernel and soricon reports that he or she runs dalingrin's OC kernel, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Phiremod is also based on 7.0.3 stable and soricon uses "latest 7.1 beta" (which I take to mean "latest nightly").
Those users are reporting a "functional" program. I just hope that means they have Hulu + accounts, have logged in, and have actually played videos in the app and not in the browser.

You are right, I do have Hulu+ account and it runs in the app just fine.
I am running the Phiremod test build (which is nightly 102) with the 061311 Kernel and it works great for me.
Did you do the WIN or IE6 mod to your browser? I am using Dolphin HD...in settings, go to USER AGENT and use CUSTOM. Under CUSTOM USER AGENT, enter WIN for windows.
In the stock browser under SELECT USER AGENT, use IE6.
That may be where your getting stuck.

We are discussing running the new dedicated app for Hulu+, not going to hulu.com in a browser. I was concerned that there might be confusion on that matter.
I am also interested in knowing whether or not anyone that *IS* getting the app to run had previously been using the modified flash program in a browser to access hulu.com
Thanks

I'm using a non-modified version of Flash on phiremod v6.3 and the hulu + app is streaming perfectly. When hulu + was announced the other day, it was not available to me in the market. I downloaded the apk from the Android development thread here on xda. Once I installed the apk with app installer and entered my hulu + account info, it just worked perfectly. No modified Flash, no modified build.prop. Let me know if there is any additional information that I can share to help out.
Thanks for the info. It looks like CM 7.1 stable is going to drop in the next build, so I'll get all my backups up to date and prepare a totally fresh install (wiping EVERYthing). I'll try Phitemod first, but I'm hoping CM will work.
I have a theory that the apk I harvested from my N1 originally hosed something deep and switching to the app from xda later never really "took". That or the Netflix build prop changes and / or brian21f's fixer app changed something deep.
We'll see
It's running fine on my NC - CM7.0.3 stable, hulu-fied Flash, have not changed the build.prop (although I tried and couldn't get it to write for some reason).
I used to have Hulu+ but discontinued it a few weeks ago.
I watched on of the free streams this morning and it looked beautiful.
How much I love this forum! Pherimod 6.3 and Hulu + is running perfectly on my NC.
I thought the version of android on the nook hd and hd+ was 4.0 or higher, but I downloaded chrome for ics and couldn't get it to work. Is it possible to have chrome on the stock root hd+ and if so, where can I download it? thank you.

I got Chrome to work on my HD+. I didn't do anything special but download and install. I must say it has some things which keep it from being my favorite which currently is Dolphin. Many of the websites on my favorites list use "Flash" to display content and Android Chrome does not support Flash.
