[Q] Nook Color rooted question

Hi all:
I was able to hack my new nook color it took a while. I am able to download my apps like Kindle and the flash software but where is it after you hacked it?
I have the mod version Cyangenmod-7.1.0 on the nook and its runs like a dream.
I just cannot find the apps that I downloaded can anyone help?
Thanks

What do you mean you cannot find them?
- You search the market and they show as not there?
- Does the market say incompatible device?
- Does market even show up?
- Did you flash gapps?

Kindle app
I am able to download them but cannot find where they are on the cm7 version that I am using. I did flash it I think cause I can see the market place gmail and stuff like that.

So if you open the app drawer on CM7 they are not listed?
If you go to market > hit menu > goto my apps are they listed as installed and can be opened from there?

Kindle app
Thanks will try it,

Still no help
i can download the apps but I cannot find them on the nook hack that I have.

Not working
Alright I cannot see my apps at all I am able to download them from the market place but at this point nothing is happening. Gonna try and reset the nook color again.

Alright, we always want to help but pls tell us clearly what and/or where you get stuck.
You said "I cannot see my apps at all I am able to download them from the market place but at this point nothing is happening."
Can you elaborate?
You are able to download apps? from where and how? Via Market or download from the web?
You are able to flash it? Install you meant? How did you do it?
You can't see your apps? What app? The .apk? The package that you "downloaded"? The icon that tap to run?
bio, above suggested you open App Drawer, did you do that? What happens?

This is what I did step by step
1. downloaded CloockworkMod 3.2.0.1 from here
2. After that I flashed the nook with the gapp file from the same place as above.
3. I hooked the nook up to my wifi system at home. I am able to go online and surf. I located the android market and I am able to download my apps.
4. I can see the apps installing on the nook but at this point I cannot find them.
Did I miss a step?

Nook Issues
I have to return the nook back from the bookstore on campus. My parents just got me the kindle fire for Christmas cause they knew I had an amazon account and I had the black and white one. I was able to do a full factory restore from the beginning and registered the nook as well. Well it was fun while it lasted I love the kindle anyway!!!

Rooted with questions

I just rooted my kindle fire hd and now wondering exactly how to get the apps I want on there. The reason I rooted it was mainly that I wanted GO Launcher HD and also the Google Play Store. How do I go about getting these to work on tablet now? I thought that maybe now that I was rooted I would just be able to download the files .apk and install them using ES File Explorer, but when I tried with GO Launcher HD it installed but nothing happened? Where do I go from here?

Thanks, I couldn't find the GO Launcher one.
I did find a Play Store one, got it installed but I'm not able to log into it with my google account.

You must install the Google service framework apk to login. And make sure you install it from /system/app with rw-r-r permissions. And you must install Play from from there too, now you can login. I have it working perfectly by using this method.

This thread tells you exactly how to get the play store working on your KFHD, including all the files.

[Q] Newbish question about sideloading.

So I sussed out the steps to root the Nook HD+ and got Gapps running.
Some apps, Google Play says " aren't compatible with your device." It's been suggested to 'sideload' them.
Googling how to do this, it seems like a PITA but I followed thru.
Basically, I had to run a program called "ES File Explorer" and have it find an already installed version of WordHero on my phone.
I took that APK, put it on my Google Drive, then loaded it on the Nook HD and it works.
Is there a more direct way to get the APK from Google Play? Or, is my route going to be to pull it from my phone via ES File Explorer and put it on the Nook HD+?
Bonus Question: Will apps that are side-loaded auto-update correctly?
Is there a known source for the Chrome APK ?

Another source of free apps is 1mobile.com. It installs an app very much like Play Store and will let you download and install them when Play Store might not.
If Play Store said it was not compatible and you sideloaded it, I doubt it will auto-update.

[Q] Will Erase & Deregister kill Google Play?

I'm thinking of selling my HD+ on ebay, but I want to sell it with Google Play intact and working as a value add. I no longer have root since the last update, but I don't care about that, since I can still install and update apps without any problems. But will erasing and deregistering disable Play and the ability to install apps? Also, would there be anything else I needed to do to eliminate personal information?
Thanks

Yes, do an erase and deregister. That will clean your login info and media files and release the device from your B&N account on their servers. Then get my CWM from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and boot to it. Flash the gapps + extras zip. That will put Play Store on it but it will not be registered with Google. Then the new user can register with B&N and once booted, register with Google Play Store.
Edit: Do the disable root too. You do not need to do it for root removal since the erase and deregister does that. But it adds zeam which is necessary if you want them to see Play Store.

[Q] Nook Apps?

I have just installed CM10.1 on my Nook HD+ and all appears to be going well.
I am now wondering how I can install apps I have purchased from Barnes & Noble to my tablet? I have the Nook app but it only shows books and magazines, not apps. And when I go into my B&N library online, there is no option to download the apps.
Thank you.

You cannot. But if you know what you are doing, you can. You can put stock back on and install the apps from B&N. Then root with my universal root. Then copy the apk files from /data/app and move them to your sdcard. Then once CM10.1 is reinstalled, use the copied apk files to reinstall. Most will work but some may not.
You can get my universal root from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

Thank you for your reply.
I dont think its worth me going to that much trouble for the apps I have at B&N. There is only a handful and none are all that important or were very expensive. I read someone elses comment somewhere that they had been able to get their B&N apps working but they didnt say how, so I assume they did as you have suggested. If I had more apps at B&N I would probably make the effort but at least I now know it is actually possible.
Thank you

Just sideload them from somewhere like aptoide.
You've paid for them so it's not exactly piracy! Not in my eyes anyway!
