So, my nook updated the other day. It causes Foursquare to no longer work, meaning locations doesn't work..... I'm not sure why, but is there anyway to fix it? I did half root it, because I just added extras for my Nook HD for the Googleplay Store, then added locations later. The locations made my foursquare work, but now it's back to not working -_-;!

There is a setting in the new 2.1.0 for location services. Try that.

Ok, I have somewhat basic question I think...
Does the Kindle app still work with a rooted NC?
Here is my scenario..
I bought my Nook Color around the 5th of Jan and registered it with my gmail account. I rooted it, and installed the Kindle app, and a couple other things to verify it worked.
I deployed to Afghanistan ( where I am now ) and decided I wanted to buy a book from the BN store. Since I registered with gmail, and I am out of the country I couldnt get the book to download. I talked with customer service and they assured me that if I was to de register/re register with my military email then I would be gtg.
So.. I did that. De registered, and then the nook went crazy on me. I looked through all the posts and blah blah. I finally found how to get the nook to reboot to original. I was able to get it going, got it re registered with my Military email, and bought a book.
Now, I re rooted the nook with 2.12.25 ( after I re upgraded to version 1.0.1 ) and am able to get all the apps I had before except for the one I actually want... The Kindle reader.
So, again I have to ask... Is the kindle app dead now? Or maybe it detects I am out of the country and says I am out of luck?
Also, I have installed AppBrain App Market. I have found the app on that, and when I try to instal it just hangs up, then goes back to the market.
When I search for the app with the regular Market it won't show up at all.
Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry for the long story for such a small question!

I copied the Kindle App from my Nook Color and uploaded to dropbox. Hope this can help.
It works for me. My best guess would be that it detects you're out of the country. You might call Amazon and just tell them you're running the Kindle app on an Android device and it won't work. Thanks for serving our country.

Also, thanks for your input A nonymous, and it is my pleasure.

Thanks guys! I got it to work by downloading it out of the Dropbox thing!
Does anyone else when using kindle have the scroll slider bar on the bottom on the kindle cut off when running it on 2.1? I have tried different launcher and hidden the stock launcher but it always come back when running the kindle app. Any help would be appreciated.
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.)
I'm loving CM7 and having netflix is amazing but not having the nook app really hurts.
I can log in fine. It sees my library but when I try to download the books from my library I get the message "Problem downloading this item. Please try again Later."
I'm able to download the free-be books just fine, just not the one's I've purchased for other devices. Also, I can't seem to find any books I've side loaded onto the nook.
Any ideas?
Btw, I'm on the nightly 217 though I had the same problem with an older version as well.
Try installing CM7.1 as the stable is out now.

No dice. Still forces closes for me on 7.1 and the newest nightly too (217).
Ok, 2 people with different issues.....
cinciblue6, try fixing permissions. If that does not work you need to tell us more. Any other apps causing force closes? What version of the Nook app are you using? Did it ever work? Can you recall when it stopped and what you had recently done?
Tapiozona, when you sync it do all your books show up? What version of the app are you using? Sometimes I find if I long press the book and choose show details and then the download button from the new screen if goes through anyway.
@patruns
My problem is slightly different. Mine can download books just fine but when I try to open them, it force closes. Not sure when it stopped working. I would guess sometime after nightly 197 (though I went straight to 210 after that.) VLC Remote also does not work (though I just dled that last night so it never has.)
Tried fixing permissions but it didn't do anything to help the situation.
Edit: I may have updated the Nook app recently. I'll check to see.
Try signing out of the B&N app, then reboot and sign back in. You will have to re-download any books you wish to read though. This was also required when updating the app last month.

Did it before and just did it again and still no dice.
I'm gonna do an uninstall and reinstall and see if it works. If not, I guess I'll just wait to see if it ever starts working. I have a regular Nook so it's not a big deal but for magazines I prefer the NC.
Thanks for the help.

I fixed this issue for a customer the other day, it happened because the credit card associated with the account had expired. Log in to the B&N website and try changing your credit card on file and see if that helps.
I'm on the latest update. Google Earth starts up but then crashes.
Does it work for any of you?
Same here... just got one for my wife for mothers day (after confirming that Google Play store worked on mine when updated) and we have found that anything requiring gps or location access does not work or is "not compatible" with our devices. Google Earth, Google Maps, Fandango, Weather Channel, and countless others.
It is a shame, because I love the hd+, but hers is going right back if she can't get the first two apps she wanted.
Any ideas to keep it stock and fix the location problem?

Yes, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a CWM bootable SD and flash my extras zip. It adds GPS permissions so those apps show as compatible.

I flashed the extras zip several weeks ago and it works on most stuff. Google Earth does still crash.

Make sure you have the latest version of extras. I updated it to add GPS permissions.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
I just reflashed with the 5/6 Extra. Google Earth works except when I ask it to locate me and it then closes. Other apps do the locate like Google Maps and streetview. It is not a problem for me, just a note for you.
And a big thanks for all your work on the Nook HD series.
@leapinlar
Isn't the 'extra' zip only for the stock ROM? I'm running into the same crashing with Earth in CM, and am wondering if there's any downside to having enabled GPS permission bundled into CM. If need to, we can use a fake-GPS app.

Yes, extras is for stock only. CM10.1 already has the GPS permissions XML in it. You could try removing it and see if that helps with Earth (or just comment out the GPS line in the file). It is in /etc/permissions.

I installed the CM10.1 eMMC ROM last night and I'm having trouble with the Kindle app. It's mainly just the carousel. The animation is really messed up and it seems to just "stack" all the books off to one side instead of the normal carousel effect.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app as well as clearing the app data and cache. Also removed all the books from the carousel, but it goes quirky again once books are added back to it.
I didn't have any issues with the Kindle app using the stock ROM before. Any ideas?
Seems I'm the only person having this problem. I guess I'll just trying reinstalling CM10.1 then.

I don't have any problem with my Kindle app, but I run in a non-standard density so the app is in phone mode and has no carousel. So I did not comment.
