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.

Beautiful, thank you!
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.

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.

The Market app is happy to download the USAA app and attempt to load it, but it's always unsuccessful.
Any ideas why and whether something can be done about this? I'd really love to use this application.
As a 30+ year member, I wanted it too and got it to work once when I first loaded it, then no joy. Cleared data and uninstalled.
I just use Dolphin HD to go to the actual site. Works fine and goes to USAA Mobile without issue.
I was having the exact same trouble with the USAA app when my tablet arrived in the mail. I have found that the fix described in the following link will get it working for Vegan Tab 5.1 (and I would assume for any other ROM where the app is displayed but it will not install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
Please post back on here if you have any luck!
Works for me
The app works fine on mine, running VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 and Clymsen's Kernel ver. 9.

"Working" in the sense that it will install and run for you? The market fix just changes the search results, so I can't see how that would help with installation. I have no difficulty locating the app, nor in downloading it. The problem seems to be entirely on my tablet when installation is attempted.

Would you be willing to post a copy of the .apk you're using? One can easily be created using appack.
Pulled from my Titanium Backup
Here is the .apk, though in fairness it does not work on my wife's Nextbook2 tablet. It would be nice if CWM was loadable on it, it is a decent piece of hardware, even better with a decent rom.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, I can't get it to sideload.
I haven't tried to load the market on mine so I can't install the app on the Tablet. My cell phone seems to use the google mapping GPS function with the USAA mobile app. Could that be whats causing the refusal to install? I know I had to enable it to get the app to install .

That would have been my guess, but michaeljwestii has it running on his g-Tablet.
I did try using location spoofing apps and tried installing it with the CyanogenMod 7 ROM that has functioning location service over WiFi. In neither case would it even install.
mine doesnt install either
I cannot get the app to display in market on my gtablet (running CM7 nightly or stable) and I cannot get android market from the web to push it my gtablet either. So I had my son install the app (version 3.3) on his epic and i side loaded it. Run just fine for me. What kind of error is everybody getting when they try to side load the app?

The standard, un-helpful "Application not installed" notification in Package Installer.
Maybe a kernel issue. It installed from the Market just fine on 4349 (1.2 kernel). When I downgraded back to 3588, it again wouldn't install.
Works on my tab...running Vegan Ginger.
3.3 version of the USAA app.

I have had that error in a couple of situations which I think does not sound they apply to your case but here were my solutions. One was To go into ROM Manager and have it fix file permissions, reboot, then try to reinstall the app. The other one was when I already had an older app installed and tried to install a newer app. I used Titanium Backup to force uninstall the older app and then exit Titanium Backup and install the newer app. For some odd reason the older app did not show up in market.
I had the USAA app installed at one point. I was able to use FakeGPS app (from android market) to manually set my location, but that was only required for the mobile check deposit function (which worked!). All other functions were working without that.
I'm now having trouble finding the USAA app on the google market, on either my Viewsonic Gtablets (one Brilliant Corners 1.2.1, other is TNT lite, 4.4). I lost the app when reformatting my tablet. I did the market fix, although not clearly different markets (is there a way to tell?). Anyone else able to find the app? Guess I'll try to sideload from the link above.
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...

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.)
Hi,
I find that some apps seem to be incompatible with rooted Nook HD+. These are NY Times app, Zagat and Yelp. Especially in the case of NY Times app, I tried even older versions, but no luck. Anybody has other thoughts?
Thank you.

Those same apps or Play Store just saying some are incompatible? If the latter, it does not mean they won't run, just that Play Store won't let you install them. Get them somewhere else.

Use Real APK Leecher to download apks from Play Store. You can create second gmail account and use your Android phone "device id" for this program if you wonder about your own security and anonymity.
Titanium Backup is what worked for me.
Looks like you need Titanium Backup, even though is priced, it's worth every penny.
You will need (like me) a spare rooted phone which had the applications I couldn't install in my HD+.
Watch this official video from TB, it will show you how it's done:

Sv: [q] apps not compatible with rooted nook hd+?
ES File explorer let's you back up apps. (Or maybe you need Task Manager as well. Both are free anyway and open from within the File Explorer).
Much to my surprise both my phones let me backup and "extract" apps without being rooted.

You'll need a 4GB or larger micro-SD card... then follow the instructions. I have GooglePlay (gapps) running on my device.
Be warned that I'm having about 80% success with "device compatibility" for software; Google Chrome doesn't appear compatible, Firefox or Dolphin browsers work fine.
Below are highlights of the incompatibilities for me; note that i'm not listing the many many others that do work.
Words with Friends works, Draw Me Something crashes.
The new Need For Speed works, Asphalt 7 crashes.
PvZ doesn't work; Doodle Jump does.

Also, to let you know, a lot of apps (e.g. Evernote) which show as not compatible when you look on google play, will work just fine when you sideload them. See Leapinlar's tips thread for more info on that, you need to get adb working.

I just tried Chrome_18_0_1026320.apk but after installing that version doesn't work on HD+ 2.0.5 (not rooted after last update).
I didn't sideload but used Google drive to get the apk to the HD+ and installed it from there. Don't think that should make any difference.

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 -_-;!
