Hey XDA,
First let me start off by saying what a stellar resource this community is and that I am very lucky to have stumbled upon it before i purchased my NC. Mind you the NC is my first Android device so this feels like SUCH a dumb question to ask but I am trying o buy Root Explorer and when i go to the (old) market, click buy - it has me log into my Google account. I put in my Google account information (the same that i registered the device with) then i have the option of syncing the calendar or email and it takes me back tot he "BUY" screen in the Marketplace.
I feel like a dumbsh*t for asking this here but what am I doing wrong? For me to remove the cell service from the NC, update the Softkeys GUI and many other things Root Explorer seems a great way to go but my nubcicle self seems stuck at a very embarrassing impasse. Thank you again or all the great advice I have been lucky enough to absorb through my introduction into the Droid world and for any help you can give!
Regards,
Johnathan
Is your Google account set up for purchases eigh a credit card?

Hello XDA'rs,
I work for the developer Loud Crow Interactive Inc. and we build book apps for kids.
We've recently launched into the Android Market and are having trouble with our app being installed on rooted nook colors. The issues appear to be on the licensing side.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? Also, what does a rooted nook register as (device) on the Android Market place,
Thanks in advance,
Tom
What's the error, logcat ?, what's the app?
dude u gotta give some info if need a solution.
There could be a million things that could cause problems like that.

We are all waiting for an answer. I have an outstanding request in with Google that I have had to update several times as they seem to be dancing around the question. When and if I hear I will post a response.
The App is "The Going to Bed Book" or "PopOut! The Tale of Peter Rabbit" - Our users are getting a "Invalid License" error. We're going to root one of our nooks soon to do some testing, but until then we were thinking we might be able to get something from the forums. Both users who reported the issue were running CM7, which I also run on my HTC IS, and runs our apps fine. Thus we're thinking it could have something to do with the device ID running against the licenses?
As we set up restrictions by device, We were curious what a rooted NC running CM7 would show as in terms of a device on the Android Market place?
Thanks for the help guys, and thanks for the patience. I'm not the actual Android developer on the team. He's out of the office for the week,
Cheers,
Tom
I think he means he is having trouble getting the application to install from the market in general. I looked up the applications and the NC was not a supported device.
I don't want to pay the money to download it to my phone and sideload it (I'm at work anyways). I don't know much about applications and how devices are determined to be compatible other than maybe their permissions. However, these applications (there are two on the market), don't require anything other than SD access.

That might be part of some of this. I was not aware developers were setting restrictions by device. Is this new?
model name -NookColor
product name -encore
And there is really no way to find out the problem, without looking at the logcat.

No, this feature is available to every developer since a long time. but there are 600 or so devices so not a lot of people bother with it.

Actually, questions to the market run against your account and the email info and log the following device details:
> IIILanguage: en
> IssueType: market_website
> Language: en
> android_app_name: Facebook
> android_os: gingerbread
> android_os_other:
> device_manufacturer: other
> device_manufacturer_other: Barnes & Noble
> hidden_country: US
> website_issue_select: grayed_device
device_manufacturer= bn
If u want to know more take a look at build.prop, people have uploaded it in netflix thread, which reminds me that a lot of users usually change their device and fake it to run different apps.

Those were direct quotes from what Google's filters picked up when I sent an email while logged in to the market.
Thanks guys, this will be a good start. If and when we resolve the issue I'll be sure to post an update with the details. I really wish Android Market supported promo codes; we'd love to be able to throw out some free copies for you guys to have a look at and test for these one off issues.
Thanks Again!
I assume if you sideload the .apk it will install fine?
Just want to contribute that I have the Going to Bed Book installed and running fine on my Nook. I am still running CM7 7.1RC, and have my build.prop spoofed for Netflix (no longer required, but I never changed it back and haven't flashed a new CM7 in a while). The only change I made in build.prop was setting the manufacturer to HTC.
The book runs great and is my son's new favorite app.
You may have an issue using get.DeviceID()... have one of your users use my IMEI generator and see if it fixes their problem. They can also spoof Manufacture, Device and Model with the newest version.
IMEI Generator Thread.
I have it on my CM7 (7.0.3 to lazy to update, running off sd no changes to build.prop) Nook and it works fine. My daughter loves it.
Some of the pages are kind of hard to register a turn, and it always starts upsidedown then flips itself over. But both of those things are the same on my incredible 2 as well.

Chromecast Installer Service
Hi all,
I'm starting this thread because well i'm a fan of community work
I've been doing this awhile for Free Mcboot on the playstation 2 platform, were basically you cannot 'hack' your console without a hacked console. they've setup a thread were all installers are listed within every region and what system they support.
all you then needed to do is pick the nearest installer - send them a pm for there location details and requirements. send a bubble envelope containing the memory card and another bubble envelope with return adress and either transfer money for the postage or include it in the envelope.
this has actually worked quite well, therefore it would propose the same here.
If users don't seem to want to root the chromecast themselves or do not have the means todo it , they could send it to an installer - they root it and send it back.
since i already have a chromecast , i'm in no interest to keep your chromecast... altho if no money is provided for postage it will be kept until it's transferred - not going to do this with loss... that's just insane.
Anyway just wanted to provide a way for users to enjoy there chromecast to the fullest.
let me just put a list here :

This sounds sketchy as I didn't think there was a root method available after hubcap was fixed

Hubcap still works on new out of the box Chromecasts that haven't touched the internet.
Sketchy or not
Hi,
Thanks for the reply , it does indeed seem odd that someone would take the time todo this for free...
but by this i could give something back to the community instead of leeching whatever other user brings out.
and since i've done this for awhile now in the PS2 scene, there are people who trust people todo this just because they have either not a way todo it or don't know how to do , and rather leave it to someone who has atleast done it once or could recover if they do it wrong.
And since you only need to pay the postage, it's a fair deal. unlike a webstore charging +$10 because it's rooted
and yes there are bad people in the world , never has been otherwise.
That's why there's a list so you could atleast see who you could trust.
i admit , i don't seem trustworthy with 0 posts and bad english :laugh:
just google "fmcb installer xtremegamer" first hit brings you straight to the FMCB installer service , ask the OP starter there if i'm trustworthy.
In the end it's your decision, always open to anwser any questions.
Thanks - sorry for the long read

hope people can help
According to the littel infos you are presenting here i give a very general advise.
Ask your company to give you the needed Data or at least the permission to grab it from your Phone.
Anything else is illegal and can get you into trouble.
