[Q] No apps in Honeycomb?

I installed honeycomb last night but its quite empty, no apps? I installed it mainly for the "Books" app that I saw on Xoom hands-on videos. Where do I get it from?
Many thanks

I don't know that the Books app is publicly available yet. You can however install market and get plenty of apps (although some may not work on HC yet).

Just got my Nook Honeycomb'd w/ v3.0. This is going to be very fun!! ADB'ing my way to the Market now.

I believe you will want to install v3 of bluedeeper's honeycomb image or you will be missing a ton of apps from the marketplace. Not sure if this was fixed with v2 or not. I guess it recognizes the nook as a Nexus device or something and allows you to download more apps.

hey all, i have another question about apps in honeycomb. I am using the 2GB honeybunches version that comes with market preinstalled. All the apps seem to be there as far as i can tell. but whenever i go to download an app it starts downloading and then quits without downloading the app. i keep pressing yes to install but it keeps doing the same thing. Any thoughts?

Try opening market from the market widget and if that doesn't work, clear cache and data and force close the Google services framework and the market. Also a couple of revolts and retries got it working for me.
Also, make sure you are using v2.

Did a reboot and apps are now downloading and installing from market! Thanks for the help!

I'm not talking about the market, but rather this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGP3KKbDOKc "Books" app.

The HC on the NC right now is a "SDK Preview". It doesn't contain any of the apps that you might have seen Google demonstrate on devices like the G-Slate / XOOM Tablet. For now, you'll just have to wait until the XOOM is released, a system dump is performed and the APKs are liberated / ported from that dump. The only way it might happen any faster is a pre-release ROM leak. Even then, the release HC AOSP might be needed for one reason or another before they'll install or fully function. Renderscript for example (the new HC feature required for much what you've seen in the videos) probably won't work right away.

"This item is not compatible with your device."

So I've tried to install a variety of different apps that I know are compatible with my device and all the google play store responds with is "This item is not compatible with your device." The most recent is nVidia TegraZone which should install considering it's a Tegra3 Device. Anybody else having this issue and/or found any fixes?

I've side loaded several apps like that which end up working fine. Basically, I download the app to a rooted phone, use titanium backup to backup the app, then download it to the N7 and enjoy.

Or you could use MyAppSharer on Play using a compatible device.

Had no problems with tegrazone from Google play.

Have you modified anything on your device?

Thanks. Worked very nicely.
I would really like it if I could just to some small hack to not have to worry about doing this though...

Anything that requires a camera permission is incompatible, including Grocery King which really annoys me as I use it for all of my shopping. Barcode Scanner, Google Goggles, etc...
Luckily LoseIt, calorie tracker, CAN use a camera but on my N7 it installed just fine just doesn't have the barcode scanning option. This is how apps should be written. For example, Google Goggles can be used on existing photos, or even photos taken with the camera hack from modoco.
In the past I've also have problems with apps that require Send/Read SMS, but I haven't noticed any of those yet.
What apps are you seeing incompatible?

For some reason the good Ameritrade one doesn't even show up in Play, but it side loaded fine for me. Had to side load Firefox as well.

I have App Backup & Restore automatically backing up the APK's from everything I installed on my Sensation. So I downloaded those, uploaded to the Nexus and installed OK. The only one I haven't made work is Dropbox.

They should just say, "App shows as being partially incompatible with your device. Install anyway?"
Hate forced to side load an app just because I'm blocked.

What would be nice if they'd say WHY so you don't have to guess. Also, that way you can email the dev and say "Market says your app won't install because of reason "555: No camera permission" or something.

It didn't for me and it wouldn't open after side-loading either. It's working now but I can't remember what I did to make it work. I think I had to side-load, then go to Accounts and add an account before opening the app for the first time.

I had this problem for months, even had to un-install apps that would no longer work because I could not update them, but got the Problem solved, changed the screen density in build.prop.
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 then You Go to Applications and wipe the cache and data for google play store and google services framework, turn Your phone off and on twice. give it a try

You can also install the amazon app store, you can install apps that the play store says aren't compatible through it.

I noticed you had changed kernels. I did that and got all of the problems you listed. Trust me, its not L its whatever kernel you're using or even user error. Even greenify works now, but most root apps require a permissive kernel...sounds like you don't have one possibly, if you are rooted there's an SELinux policy changer app that will at the click of a button, modify the kernel between enforced and permissive. I use code blue, FK didn't work for me. Also not sure this thread will be open much longer. All the best.
Try posting this in general in the Lollipop thread.

Yea I don't have those problems either. I have had the keyboard predictions not come up some times though. I have also had the play music app bug which is really annoying me because I just bought some Bluetooth headphones and its ruining the hands free experience.

In recents/overview, after clearing all apps sometimes apps pop up if you tap the recents button again like Phone, Android System etc. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm having almost all those same problems as OP...I have it with FK. KitKat was way better and buttery smooth, no issues really. The one thing I really like about 5.0 is the lockscreen notifications..long overdue feature. Missing feature though: control time of music from lock screen.

There is something wrong with your image installation and or kernel and or phone.

No offence mate, but calling this thread "all you need to know" is wrong.
I disagree with everything you said, having used heavily since about an hour after the image was posted by Google.
To suggest that your opinion is all people need to know is just plain wrong.
90% of root apps? Nonsense. Every root app I need works.
Crashes in chrome? None here. Same with all the gapps.
Most apps don't work proper? Really?
Launcher lags? Nope. And that word is thrown about all the time with no explanation or quantification.
You should at the least change the title of the thread.

Chrome custom tabs not "activating"

The title might be a little misleading, but links are not opening in Chrome custom tabs, but the full browser instead. I have tried on CM and on stock. Meanwhile, just about everything opens in the Chrome tabs on my wife's phone (Galaxy S5), and this includes the news feed in the Google Now app. At first, it would open them intermittently, and now, it completely stopped opening custom tabs.
Did any of you get it to work consistently?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Chrome app provide the necessary stuff to apps to make them open their link into custom tabs
As an exemple the Google search remove this feature from time to time (don't know why in the last update the features is in it)
But It is an option in Google+ app check if it is ticked
In Google news and weather app it is force enabled now
So it's really depending on app i guess our nexus receive more update or maybe you're in the beta build of Google now?

Well...after no, and I mean, NO app updates, Chrome custom tabs are working on my phone from both the search results and the Now cards. Whatever...
And I wasn't referring to custom tabs from apps...I was referring to custom tabs from Google Now itself. Still doesn't make sense to me, but whatever.
Edit: But using the custom tabs for Google searches...it works a lot faster than opening the full app. The loading speeds are awesome!

Anyway go to parameters -> account (the first one) look at the pic now the arrowed one is the switch for this

I wanted them enabled. I checked those settings, and it was enabled. I toggled it off and back on, and they started to work after a few minutes.
Thanks, though. Fixed the problem since my last post.

Here's another way for you to use custom chrome tabs. Just download this app from Google Play : Chromer
It's not a browser app but it forces links to be opened on custom chrome tabs. I'm using it and it works perfectly.
