I installed honeycomb last night but its quite empty, no apps? I installed it mainly for the "Books" app that I saw on Xoom hands-on videos. Where do I get it from?
Many thanks

I don't know that the Books app is publicly available yet. You can however install market and get plenty of apps (although some may not work on HC yet).
Just got my Nook Honeycomb'd w/ v3.0. This is going to be very fun!! ADB'ing my way to the Market now.
I believe you will want to install v3 of bluedeeper's honeycomb image or you will be missing a ton of apps from the marketplace. Not sure if this was fixed with v2 or not. I guess it recognizes the nook as a Nexus device or something and allows you to download more apps.
hey all, i have another question about apps in honeycomb. I am using the 2GB honeybunches version that comes with market preinstalled. All the apps seem to be there as far as i can tell. but whenever i go to download an app it starts downloading and then quits without downloading the app. i keep pressing yes to install but it keeps doing the same thing. Any thoughts?

Try opening market from the market widget and if that doesn't work, clear cache and data and force close the Google services framework and the market. Also a couple of revolts and retries got it working for me.
Also, make sure you are using v2.

Did a reboot and apps are now downloading and installing from market! Thanks for the help!
I'm not talking about the market, but rather this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGP3KKbDOKc "Books" app.
The HC on the NC right now is a "SDK Preview". It doesn't contain any of the apps that you might have seen Google demonstrate on devices like the G-Slate / XOOM Tablet. For now, you'll just have to wait until the XOOM is released, a system dump is performed and the APKs are liberated / ported from that dump. The only way it might happen any faster is a pre-release ROM leak. Even then, the release HC AOSP might be needed for one reason or another before they'll install or fully function. Renderscript for example (the new HC feature required for much what you've seen in the videos) probably won't work right away.
The latest version of Pulse from the market behaves fine on rooted 2.1, but on CM7 it gets the forced close popup. I've cleared the cache a couple of times, but it still happens.
Is this a known app to not work in cyanogen?
I have the same problem. I can't get the latest pulse to work with CM7 RC4.
No problem here, works great.. I restored from Ti backup software maybe initial setup is broken?

It's working fine for me as well. CM7 (RC4) I've flashed any number of the other ROM's and have'nt had any issues at all. Perhaps un/re/install?
I"m on cm stable now but didn't want to start another thread. I cleared the cache, and did an uninstall/reinstall. It still fc's.
Anyone else encounter this?
Works fine for me. Use it everyday.
if its on your sd card, maybe try move it to your nook.
settings->applications->pulse->move to phone
Well I'm using the sd card installer by verygreen. Not sure if that could be causing the issue. Can I move the app when I'm using cm7 is on the sdcard?

Nope, same here, CM7 running off SD. And moving it to SD card would be of course logically moving it from one place to another on the SD card. To Android, however, it's different as it then has to loop-mount it and load it slightly differently.
I haven't tried Pulse "on SD", I set my defaults to install to Internal. If Pulse IS "Moved to SD" you might try "Move to Phone".
IMO since we have 1G of /data, no need to use "Move to SD" as it just slows things down a bit.
Hmm, maybe I'll try moving the app. I did a few nightlies on this and then the honeycomb tweaks mod and finally the stable cm7. I never wiped the card between these and just copied the zip over.
Pulse is the only one that consistently crashes but a couple of times the market fc'd and so has google maps. Is anyone else getting the odd crash with core apps or is cm7 final, stable for you?
it works ok for me until if i don't install google reader and add feeds from my google reader... strange

No crashes for me on CM7 at all.. BTW, I just tried out a new News app, Taptu, you might give it a try.
Pulse seems to pull in more information without going to the Browser though, only thing I don't like about it. Otherwise it's pretty cool. Really same concept as Pulse though.
Ok I uninstalled it again, but prior to doing so, I noticed I couldn't clear the apps cache. So I uninstalled it and deleted the remaining pulse directory.
Did a fresh install and it seemed fine at first, I thought problem solved. Usually pulse fc's on me in 30 seconds or less. This time I used it for a couple of minutes and thought problem solved. It almost seems it fc's when grabbing all the image previews for the articles.
Could it be a bad sd card and all the small writes that are going on? Is there a good utility to test an sd card? And if so, is a wipe necessary? (Assuming it might need to write then read to each block.
Or is there a possibility of updating a few nightlies, then tablet tweaks, then cm stable on the sd card without ever wiping could be causing it?
I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .
Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.
The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.
How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.
I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

I am running into the same issue with Phiremod'd 6.3 and the B&N android app.
However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

Total noob here, just got my nook color last week. I have CM7 on an SD card and I am having the 'no download button' problem. Can you point me how I can install the old market? Thanks.

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...
Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)
Hey there,
I've been trying to get webcam-viewing to work on my Nook Color. Have tried several builds of Skype and Gtalk but have so far been unsuccesful. The furthest I got was seeing a split second of my contact's webcam image before it failed. This was the only time it seemed to work. Different builds only show "Calling contact..." and then it automatically closes.
Has anyone in here succesfully watched a contact's webcam? Which app and which build are you using? Thanks!
Btw, I'm using Cyanogenmod7 nightly 172 flashed to the Nook's internal memory.
No luck so far. Anyone got it to work?
Having tried several webcams and all (to my knowledge) the video enabled chat programs out, I have been unable to get any to work. I can connect the cam to the nook using host mode and the nook recognizes the cam but the software side will not enable use of the cam nor have I been able to see the other users cam. This is unfortunate but something I have had to come to terms with. Android, on the nook, seems to be doomed to go without webcam software but the things we have been able to do with the nook, thanks to the cm7 team (et all), have been nothing short of amazing.
Thanks to all the devs out there for making the nook so much more than an e-reader.

I have been able to view either camera from my Thunderbolt running the generic GB tweaked Skype version (google it) on the Nook Color running the same tweaked GB version. Make sure you set the advanced settings on the tweaked version to at least one camera on the NC. My NC is currently running an older build like you have (around 172, can't recall specifically).
EDIT: GB Skype that works on mine HERE
Looked at Settings and I'm still on build 151...
EDIT2: Lost video capability when I just updated to build 200. Will reinstall latest GB tweaked skype...
You could try Google+'s Hangout feature. Just leave the hangout session running on you PC and use the G+ app to join. Haven't tried it myself but worth the shot.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm going to keep poking it untill it works!
I just recently got a nook hd+ and rooted it, I did three full wipes for safe measure using TWRP wiped everything but the sdcard prior to installing cm-10.1.3-RC2-ovation.
I noticed it had a good amount of lag when switching home screens, opening apps, opening the app drawer, recent apps ect.
And apps would run slow and close/freeze on me, for instance I was on chrome entering in a url and everything would freeze for a sec then inputs what I entered, and with only three to four tabs open and it keep closing on me, even the stock browser.
Also when I have any background apps running like say iHeartRadio playing in the background and say Facebook in the foreground after about 20 to 30 seconds sometimes instantly iHeartRadio will close with no errors or FC popups.
I am now running cm-10.1.3-ovation (Stable) since its release, did a clean installation (full wipe) and still having all the same problems,
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? Anyone else experiencing the same?
Any help is very much appreciated
I have same issue....

I have had some problems, but most of them seem to be caused by chrome. Chrome clearly has stability issues as evidenced by the near daily updates. The browser that comes with CM works quite well.

So I removed chrome and wiped both dalvik cache and cache also used SD Maid, but still experiencing the same issues.
This thing runs so slow it doesn't seem right, I mean my hp touchpad runs loops around this and it's also running 10.1 not overclocked and it doesn't crash and hang all the time
I think with me being a noob at rooting I must have done something wrong when I rooted,

i have the 32gb hd+ and don't recall having those issues but i used CWM since that's what all the devs seem to prefer. Also , i switched to the tweaked xperia rom that was recently updated. i feeel like it's snappier and i like the tweaks he made to it.

I actually have two 16gb models one with CWM other has TWRP, both have the same issues, is the xperia rom a stock android-like or a Sony-like rom? Do you think it is stable enough for everyday use?

I did when I first installed CM, but haven't really noticed it as of recently, plus I use hackers keyboard from the play store, not sure if it was the stock keyboard or it just started working better over time (if that's possible :-\)
