Flash woes

Alright Y'all, I've attempted searching for the thread for the past week. I can't find the HW accelerated flash apk anywhere. I've tried uninstalling the and reinstalling the markets flash 11. I just can't get flash to work on the nookcolor. Can anyone help me out? I'm now on nightly 211 an still have no working flash. My YouTube works though, but any web link or video in the Pulse app wont show up, or if it does it'll say no flashplayer installed. Flash 11 settings comes up w a get flash logo, and click on it and permission to access market denied?

try flash 10, works perfect on my nook cm7. Although I changed build to nexus s and got flash 10 I saw on my wifes unmodded build.prop she had 11
just tried hers and 11 is working. We are on nightly 208

BTW, you can get the Barnes & Nobile Flash 10.1 out of the stock ROM 1.3 archive in a thread in the android development forum. Just open it up in a archive problem (it's a zip file) and get the .apk out of the apps folder. You can easily install this on CM7.
Hardware acceleration is almost useless though. It is extremely picky about which videos will actually play in hardware because the Nook only plays some kinds of H.264 videos on its DSP. So there isn't a lot to gain by using an older version of Flash. Flash is just not a very efficient app and it is too much for the Nook a lot of the time.
Also, the versions prior to 10.3 don't properly let you select different video resolutions because the option box doesn't work right with a touch screen.

Ah. Thank you very much

Market issue

I have 2 nooks, a nook color and a touch which both started having issues with the market sunday. Both worked Saturday and as far as I know there was no update. The color gives a server error and won't even connect. The touch is unable to download anything. This appears to only affect the market app. I can connect directly with a browser. Both have cm7. Anyone have any thoughts?
Tried restoring market & data.

Have same issue on my Nook color yesterday.. WIFI is on, able to browse through browser, but when was trying to connect to marked it says "No Connection" RETRY. Are you able to resolve it?

Hey, y'all! I'm getting the same problem too, I just loaded CM7 to my NC and the market won't function. I even installed the Play Store from an apk and all that shows up is "Server Error" and a retry button. And, retrying gives the same screen. Help would be very much appreciated!

Has anyone been able to get the Market Place or Play Store to work properly? I've tried deleting the data and the cache for the new Play Store. I've gone back to an older verision of the Market Place...and I get the same "No Connection" Retry error.
I get into the Market and can look around without any problems. But when I try to access my apps, it fails. I'm not able to update any of my apps.

I have no problem with play store today and yesterday. I am running CM7 on uSD from dual CM7/CM9 image with 0305 update.

I resolved the market issue by restoring the last backup. I am not sure what happened but it looks like I lost a few things somewhere. I am having no problems with the new market either, and it also works with ics (on sd) for me.

Yep im having same problem on my nook color with 7.2 kang build

I had this problem and followed a suggestion to sign in with @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com. This worked for me but it was on a fresh install of 7.2.

i have a quick question. i tried looking for answers but i am lost at wht i need to do next.
i bought this nook for my wife back in march of 2011, when i got it i rooted it. the current version is 1.1.0. but the only thing i can see that is different from the original nook is the market. all i want to do is update the market because there are alot of apps that are not available as its an old version of the market. the app i am looking for is mbs digital direct. she needs this to be able to read some ebooks for class.
can someone please help me update the market so that it will be the most current one. thank you so much for your time.

I'm not sure the issue is the market app. 1.1 was an old version of android (eclair) and the mbs app may need froyo or higher before the market will allow it to be shown as available.
I recommend that you update your B&N software to the latest version (1.4.3) and root it again. Use Manual Nooter 5.08.20 to root it. It will then have the latest market (play store) and be updated to froyo. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A15 to get the update. You can always make a nandroid backup of your system with CWM as it is now and if you don't like the new version, just restore your backup to return to rooted 1.1.
PS, the reviews that I saw for that app are terrible. You might want to check that out before making any changes.
EDIT: GMPOWER says it needs gingerbread so updating to 1.4.3 will not help. It is froyo and is one level down from gingerbread. I now recommend putting CM7 on an SD install. To do that, follow Taosaur's blog here:

The app specifically says that it requires android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) and up. You will need to install CM7 over the stock firmware, or on the SD card, all of that information should be covered in "leapinlar's" tips page.

iPlayer Issues Touchpad

Hi All,
Honestly I have searched for this everywhere.....
Can't get the iPlayer App to work. I'm running Milestone AOKP 4 at the moment as the TP came with this pre-installed from ebay. (ITV Sort of Works) Embedded flash also doesn't work and I am redirected to the flash site which says I have it....
I've also downloaded FlashPlayer 11 from the market but that doesn't seem to work. Can anybody help me?
I'm new to flashing with Mboot & ACME (Not really used either) But very comfortable with ROM Manager and CWM Recovery stuff)
Also whenever I go to youtube on the browser (stock / Chrome Beta) it force closes and I have to restart the app. YouTube App is working fine.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Is it recommended to move to CM9 Nightlies or Alpha2?

Try doing a wipe / factory delete, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly.
There are many free apps in the market, like doubleTwist, that are great media players.
I don't use Chrome. Dolphin HD, Opera and icsbrowser+ are what I use. Some things that one can't do, one of the others can.
Your can flash using cwm, install zip from sdcard, but you won't have data. But if you have a backup, you can try and restore data using CWM advanced restore > restore data. That's what I do.
Good luck.
Edit: Boot into webos and make sure it's up to date. Should be 3.0.5. Also install the speed tweaks, preware and patches /kernels.

I didn't think the Web OS version mattered if you are running cm?

I guess the webOS version doesn't really matter if you only run android. But I use webOS quite a bit. It's a great os, you'll also find that the battery life is much, much better.

HD+ /Root / Sky Go/ Device Spoofer

Hi all
Relative newbie here with incredibly frustrating issue that has wasted many of my hours recently!
I saw this a thread about getting sky go (a UK video streaming service) working on a nexus 10 by spoofing build prop to think it's a nexus 7http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045403
I flashed stock rom from Leapinlar's great thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613) then rooted with very green's equally great zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437575).
Used device spoofer to switch build prop to nexus 7 and hey presto, skygo appears in play store - whoopee!
The problems come when I look to remove root - I used supersu to perform full uproot, reboot, clear cache, factory reset etc but whatever I try, skygo still gives me an error message saying my device is rooted.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this despite full unroot? Could it be the fact that the above process leaves me with cyanogenboot / non stock recovery? If so is there any way of rooting and spoofing whilst maintaining stock boot/recovery?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mike

Sky use a number of tricks to work out if an device has been tampered with. The GS3 and Sky Go (plus their other apps) have issues with other recoveries.

Do you know whether there is any way of modifying the build prop without ending up with a non stock recovery?
If I can root and unroot without ending up with a custom recovery I think it would work?

Hello,
You could keep your device rooted. Just install this app on the Play Store, dubbed Hide my Root. It's a little bit of hassle, but every time you want to use Sky Go, within the app select "Hide su binary" then click on "Uninstall super user".
Once you're done watching Sky Go, and want your root privileges back, just restore SU Binary, and reinstall super user.
All the best.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
Unfortunately this does not work - SkyGo still sees my HD+ as being rooted.
So Hide My Root doesn't work, could it potentially be due to Cyanoboot? Does anyone know how to create a "stock" root zip with build props spoofed to Nexus 7?
Thanks!

Has anybody had any luck getting SkyGo to work on a Nook HD+?

It could infact be due to you have a custom recovery and YES of course you can have root and have stock recovery, just install stock nexus 7 rom and root through ODIN and choose not to install cwm/phils/ect also please uninstall busybox sky go also looks for this.
Another note is apps like hidemyroot dont work on android roms nwer than 4.2 for example if you have a 4.3 rom youre screwed

Sky Go now on Nook HD+
Hi all
Anyone with an unrooted stock HD+ able to confirm whether SkyGo is now working since they released the Tablet version with wider compatability yesterday? Now shows as available to download on Nook HD+ but I'm running a custom ROM at the moment so unable to test out as it won't work on rooted devices . . . . .

I reverted to stock to get it working - works really well! - occasional minor glitches starting a stream but from there in it's good - the quality especially on the on demand stuff is really good compared to bbc player, itv player etc...
edit:
fwiw I'm running at the moment with unknown sources enabled (ITV Player claims to be incompatible with my device running stock - so I side loaded it, works fine) and cwm installed on the recovery - it works fine with those. I expect you could root stock and use a root hiding app and it would still work based on peoples results with the mobile version.
now it's just a matter of getting stock into a usable state - I think CM was a tiny bit zippier, but most of my issues with the stock UI have been resolved by installing apex launcher. Just need to figure out a way to change the lock screen, and maybe remove the status bar and I'll be sorted

Great, thanks for your feedback. Good news!
I'll probably look to have stock on sd boot card for the occasions I want to use skygo then

ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!! Kindle Reader keeps crashing.

Okay, I'm rooted, have TWRP installed and I was able to flash CM 10.2 and Gapps successfully. But after initial setup etc, when I downloaded and installed the Kindle Reader app from Google Play, it will not startup. It crashes within a few seconds.
Is there a specific version of the app I should be using? My wife will not be a happy camper if she can't read on her tablet. Odds are, I will be buying her a new one if I can't fix this.
Thank you in advance for any help given.

Same problem happened to me mate. i found out that when you install Gapps, the kindle reader app, kindle photo app, and amazon appstore will not work, unfortunately. i solved the book problem by signing into my amazon account on my PC, buying the book there, then transferring it to my kindle. If you go to manage kindle, and go to "actions" on the book you buy, one of the options offers to download the book file to your PC, then transferring it to your kindle.
good luck

Have you tried updating to CM 11? Also go to settings, apps, all, scroll down to the Kindle App, clear cache and data and force stop it and then reopen it.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I restored my TWRP backup and went back to rooted stock. The Kindle reader app works and my wife has access to the apps she wants. She' s happy so that's good enough for me.
