Hey, i'm having an issue with cyanogenmod 7 on my Nook Color. Switched from cupcake because I thought I'd have greater compatibility with apps. Since the change, programs that once worked (e.g. snesoid, beautifu widgets) won't book. Just get hung and ask me if I want to force close. I'm using the tablet tweaks and everything... is this just how it is, or did I mess up somewhere along the line? Thanks.
I can't speak for the specific apps or ROM ur using, but yeah this happens with the occasional app. Remember that u r using an unfinished product. It will get better as CM refines it. Android as a whole is a buggy system. Its never going to be as functional as something like iOS.
Did you wipe either Cache and/or Data partitions before flashing CM7? Wiping the Data partition will wipe all installed applications and settings, however, it will prevent any weird issues arising from incompatible settings across different ROMs and OS versions.
I don't know about snesoid, but my personal experience is that BW works very well in CM7.

Sounds like something's wrong. My Beautiful Widgets works great. I'd try reinstalling using these instructions:
I have similar problems with both Beautiful Widgets and the XDA app. When I log into the XDA app, it gives me a force close pop up. However, when I use the XDA app without logging in, I don't have any problems.
Which instructions are you referring to in that MASSIVE 100+ page post?
Thanks.

The first post on that page.. That's how I flashed CM7 (pretty standard method, really) and I have no problems with Beautiful Widgets. Haven't tested XDA app. To be honest, I have problems with XDA app on my Droid 1, CM7, so I never use it.
Thanks everyone! I installed following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
I will give it another shot and report back when I do. Right now I've gone back to cupcake, but still having a problem with beautiful widgets- gets stuck on the "loading skins" screen, never loads.
p.s. I *did* wipe the cache and data partitions
"Cupcake"?? I think you mean "Eclair"?
Cupcake was many versions ago, before the Nook existed, and the Nook Color ships with Eclair...
So, I switched to cyanogen, but I couldn't get beautiful widgets or snesoid to run. Trying to revert to factory settings, but every time I try I get stuck on the word ANDROID in blue.
I've tried hard booting 8x, I've tried running the script to change the bootcount but this just gets me to clockworkmod. I try running the factory reset/data wipe option, but it clearly doesn't remove cyanogen. I've also tried sideloading a 1.1 version zip, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Would uninstalling clockworkmod help?
Are you sure you followed the 8-failed-boots method precisely? That really should have brought you back to stock, at least as far as I understand.
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
I really do think so. It brought me to clockwork recovery instead of the usual factory reset...
Well I'm out of my league (I haven't done this) but it seems there are still ways... You could check out http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...install-cwr-save-root-revert-stock-image.html or do some searches here.
Now I'm stuck on the N sign instead of android... Tried everything in the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 including the boot partition. No dice. The only way i can get it to boot is to reinstall cyanogen. Is there some trick to uninstalling cyanogen? Any other suggestions out there?
It seems like cyanogen just WON'T WIPE. Even when I format my data, it still loads, despite clockworkmod reporting that it has been formatted. Ideas please!
Check at androidtablets dot net
look for the link about restoring and removing clockwork from an SD card. I'd post the link but I can't yet.

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...install-cwr-save-root-revert-stock-image.html This one? tried it, no luck
Bummer. Yeah, that's the link. You might want to look in Nookdev too. They oulined a process that was similar, but they said you have to do the image restore AND unregister... though it's been a while since I've looked at it. It might be more helpful. Good luck in getting it back to stock.
This is unfortunate. I had been under the impression it was a LOT easier to get back to stock. (I still bet someone who knows will give you the right guidance.)
Oh well, I guess it's a good argument for using SD card booting exclusively -- I can't wait for a final CM7 SD Card ISO.
Hi guys,
I have recently downloading the new Cyanogenmod for the Milestone, and although its a pretty good mod, I haven't been able to download things from google market. I have installed GAPPS when it was required, and I can navigate the market fine, it even picks up my bought purchases. However, when I click on download,it says that it is downloading but the bar doesn't move. I;ve reflashed and rebooted numerous times but that doesnt seem to have fixed the problem. I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same thing and if so, how could I fix it?
I have plenty of space on my phone and my SD card too so I can't see where the problem lies.
update, I have looked around a little, and it may be a problem that I cannot connect to googletalk server. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Also, switching from wireless to 3g to 2g doesn't seem to help either.
Having the same problem with my X10! Will show updates for my existing apps but when I click on them to update it just states that they are downloading and they never update! I have power cycles the phone, stopped the update, installed the Google market updates and tried again, still the same result!
I have a rooted X 10 with 2.1.
Anybody else having the same problem?
totally weird, but everything seems to be in working order now. I didn't do anything at all either.
I had to connect to flashtool and reload the os to get it working again!
Tried finding just the market .she file but wasn't sure which one was the one that was messed up! Didn't want to make it worse so just flashed the whole OS

i faced the same problem too, i've been coping with this for about 2 months on CM6 and now it's kinda getting in my nerves. I can't download from the Market and it's annoying when i want to download some apps in a big hurry. I see that i'm not the only one facing this problem, but may i ask for help here? what can i do to fix this problem? you have my thanks
Did you try flashing the OS again or reloading the CM6 ROM? Mine has been working fine since I flashed my OS again.

Wipe data, then flash the ROM. Google Apps you need to wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache AFTER flashing the ROM.

With cm7 i didn't have any problem at all. Maybe because i flashed 2 weeks ago..
Having the same problem from many days and also cm7 is laggy although I still use it. Somebody recommend something please.

I used to have this problem after extendend periods without a wifi connection... it seemed like my purchases would only download on wifi, whereas free apps would d/l on cellular networks
I do have Market problems from time to time, being unable to download. I've try pretty much everything but nothing helped, except: waiting! If apps fail to download constantly, they'll do just fine the next day ...
It seems that the Market has internal problems that cause this. Also I have this behaviour once in a while: viewing "my apps" in the Market will sometimes (!) only show me the Google Apps (Maps, YouTube, etc.) and all the ones that I purchased but *no* free apps at all.
Same again: waiting some time will restore the original (and correct) list.

I think that might just be the limitations of the Gapps we flash. I get those same issues, but a simple reboot fixes everything, nothing to worry about!

Have this problem for 3 days already. Tried to flash to another ROM and it doesn't help. Googled this problem, looks like is a ton of complaints from people experiencing this problem but I can't find any actual solution. Can you help please? I'm tired of this already. Did a factory reset too and it didn't help.
Help please.
Yeah, had this issue some times with the new market.
Yesterday, when it happened again, I just cleared market app data and re-tried.
It worked.
Don't know if it'll last though..
Yeah mate, looks like it helps in some cases. But i tried it many times and it didn't help. I found a solution that deals something with "gmail" and "GoogleMail", but i don't know how to make a @googlemail e-mail.

So you've also tried deleting "Download manager" app data and "Google Services Framework" app data?
Are you using the new market too?
Hmm, [email protected] bugs

I have tried old and new markets, including latest 3.1.5. It doesn't help. Also i tried to clear Download manager app data. But I haven't tried deleting google services framework app data. I can't try it now because i don't have access to the wi-fi.
I think if your advice will not help i'll flash stock GB ROM.

I'm on stock Rom on sgs2, Tesco mobile UK.

Android Market needs the Google Talk service to download and update applications. Without Google Talk, more downloads from the market ... I think
try this:

do you use droidwall or something?
@ batahulu, don't think that's my problem, I don't think I've deleted any files by mistake and my Google talk workable fine. thanks tho.
@Dr.wtf., no not using it. I am using lookout and avg but I turned these off and tried too thinking it might be some firewall or sumat but still nothing... I don't know what more to try as I've done nearly everything I can find short of a factory reset. thanks mate
i had this problem long ago whaen i was in amertis ROM....... i tried many things like clearing cache, reinstalling the rom, clear data, even changing google account......but unfortunately it didnt helped..... then googled it and found that its a "CUSTOM ROM" problem.....
then after changing the rom it was fixed......
so my suggestion is that keep trying different ROM....
Goodluck
I've the market stuck on starting download only when I buy a paid app. Strange the free ones download just fine.
Samsung Galaxy s2 android 2.3.6
Yeah exactly the same here, two paid apps are stuck while at the same time I can download free ones.... I tried to download on pc but still not working
Taz..
I had the same problem,...
another rom was my only way to get it working...
I signed into Google wallet on the pc and put in my credit card details again, Google then sent me email asking me to confirm my date of birth and would you believe about 2 hrs later my market started working. Before this I only put my details in from my phone and think that may have been the problem, I think it may be worth a try...

Push from Google Play
I've got a Motorola XT720 experiencing this problem as well, and I've tried all the wiping-related methods to no avail. However, I found another workaround that doesn't seem to have been discussed so far.
If I go to the Google Play Accounts web page (sorry, no link - new user), I can use the "Install" button to remotely command my phone to download the app.
It works for a couple tries, then I have to reboot, but at least it gets me somewhere. Hopefully this method can help others too.
Hi all,
I'm running the stock LRT Rom, with the latest speedmod kernel, and for a while now (happened with LRQ as well) I've had a problem with chrome crashing.
The browser works fine but any time I mark the URL line and try to cut or copy, or go into a tab and try to paste something, it locks up the phone for a few seconds, then closes chrome with a "sorry but chrome has crashed" error. After that I can just start chrome again and use as normal, but cut/copy/paste just do not work.
Has anyone seen this problem? I'm using SwiftKey as my keyboard, not sure if that's related since I've had that for a very long time and it used to be fine.
I'll slowly start changing things back to stock and see if I can fix it, but maybe someone else has run into this as well and can suggest something.
Thanks all!

Nope.
Chrome works well on my device.
Did you flash with a clean installation ? or you just flash over the LRQ ?
If you just flash over, try to wipe cache and dalvikcache.
If still not working, go to setting, application, choose internet, clear the data / cache.

Try clearing app data or reinstall chrome
Tried both things, and still nothing. Looks like I'll have to do a full wipe. Thanks all.

Hi Guys,
Ok, I've got an HP Touchpad 16gig. I've installed: CM9 Kernal version 2.6.35-palm-tenderloin (9-20121125-Nightly), Android 4.0.4,
I used Acme Installer3, gapps-jb-20121011.
So far it looks great and the touchpad is a joy to use. I also installed gapps but this is where something is wrong, for the life of me I cannot get Google Play store to work. When I click on the Play Store icon or the 'SHOP' shopping bag icon the app starts to open then it just returns to the page I'm on.
I do have an old Google Play accout that I can still access and see the apps I downloaded last year when I had a Flytouch pad. I also have a current gmail account and Google+ account.
So far I have tried:
Updating apps and ROMs using goo.im
Uninstalling and re-installing the gapps folder using a couple of different versions
Clearing the cache and making backups before making any changes etc.
Now I am very new to this game although I'm computer savvy, if anyone can help me with getting Google Play Store to work then that'd be great but please be gentle with me as I am learning as I go....
Many thanks,
Mark
Clear not only the cache, but also the system and data partitions. Also, make sure your recovery is up to date.

The gapps you should be using for CM9 is 04/29 , below is a link
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Try this and you should be good to go, not sure if you have to system wipe or not but the version you used is for CM10 .
Hope this helps

Ok, how do I get Google store/Play back now as the icon is missing and I've no 'Shopping bag' icon either.
Thanks for your help,

Just boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, flash cm9 nightly zip, flash ics gapps zip, then reboot. You'll have to login all over again as everything has been wiped.

Hi guys, many thanks for all the suggestions,
I can enter recovery but then the pad just starts as normal.
I've re-flashed everything but it has just made the touchpad slower and does not respond to touches very well and seems out of calibration.
I still don't have Google Play/Store even though I used gapps 29/04.
Can I completely wipe all traces of Android from the touchpad back to webos (which still works fine) and then I'll pay someone to install Android on the touchpad. I fear if I carry on trying to get this working properly I'll either completely foobar the pad or I'll throw it against the wall.....
Many thanks,
Mark.

A massive thumbs up sstar for helping me out with my problems with googleapps/store etc. He explained a few things to try and now its all working
I also want to thank all the other members that contributed, I wasn't sure of how to do some of the things you suggested but I read and re-read what you all said and it finally sunk in...
I reflashed and installed cLockworkmod to delete all the Android guff and clear the cache etc, then I re-flashed using the latest CM9, ACMEInstaller 3, 6update and 29/04 gapps, it took two attempts but on the second attempt, success!!!
I now have a fully working Android pad with google store and I'm able to install all the apps I previously had on an older Android pad and a few new ones that look tasty and are essential for day to day usage and also give me better control over what I can actually do with the working device.
You guys have made my day.....:highfive:
Cheers, Mark.
