Database Develop

Amazon app store

I managed to get Google market to work fine on my STR, but not Amazon app store. It opens, but whenever I try to download something, it looks like it is starting, but the download is aborted.
Any ideas?

I've had a similar problem. Try hitting 'cancel' then download again. Works for me.

Have you set the Nook Touch to allow sideloading?
(One way to do this is to install Nook Color Tools and click the box. Even if the box looks like it is already ticked, you need to untick it and then tick it on.)

Well, sideload is working alright. Will try the cancel and again method. Tks.

All various App stores work fine for me...
I have the Android market working fine after rooting and patching my generated Android ID from the emulator into the database. Side loading all the other markets worked without a hitch too. Slide.me, App Brain, and Amazon Appstore all work perfectly.
I really hope we get CM7 working on the Nook2. Having a standard OS that doesn't have the limitations will certainly be much better for everyone than all the various different patches and hacks for the original 2.1 based installation.

[Q] App download

Is there a way to download apps directly to my PC, instead of the Nook?
There are some apps that are "not compatible" in the market, but several times when I get them as standalone apk, I can install them and get them to run on the nook!

hello
i have some thing like that problem i download app from internet like acrobat reader for android and this app is in my download but when i hit it say error and didnt install
can any body help me?

or even EzPDF or mantano cuz it is way better.
http://tinyurl.com/4xqlw6x i know it is a bit "warezzy" but comparing to other it really doesn't have many of these illegal apps (not even 1% of their huge database). It is better than amazon appstore, because it both downloads and installs apps, instead of just downloading (root needed).

Felt a bit retarded looking at the solution... :S
It is just a bit obnoxious to download all the free software by looking at google, but considering the solution of installing android SDK, emulator, a rom with market, etc. - as I've recently seen on the internet - in order to find the appropriate apk, I think it is way better to google or use the black-mart app - even though I'm looking more for a way to circumvent device compatibility...
Thanks, domi.nos
BTW, whenever you do a search for an apk, lots of time you get to market links, and takes you back to the old android market - which is more than 75% of the links I get to find...

For me, the easiest way to install apps is threw market.android.com . I haven't had the problems i ran into using the app on the nook itself. When you hit the "Send to" button it just says "Phone" and will push to your nook.

[Q] Copilot 9.4.0144 voice-guidance issue

Three days ago the voice-guidance stopped working, after almost a year of flawless operation. I opened a ticket with the ALK support and posted the problem at their forum. They proposed the re-installation solution but did not work.
Below are the dialogues with the support team.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user voice guide stopped working
As of yesterday the voice guide just says the first syllable and stops. The rest is running ok, just the voice. I changed voice, deactivated it, restarted the phone but nothing works."
support I would suggest reinstalling CoPilot by following these steps:
1) Uninstall CoPilot in SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > COPILOT.
2) Delete the "com.alk.copilot" folder located on the storage card
3) Clear the cache in your device: go to SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPLICATIONS > select PLAY STORE APP > tap "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data"
4) Do a soft reset of your device (off/on)
5) Download CoPilot from Google Play (you will not be charged for this as long as you are logged into your Google Account)
6) Launch CoPilot and activate with your existing CoPilot ID and password
Please note as well that you will need to do a "Cloud Backup" (in MY COPILOT) before reinstalling in order to save your favourites and recent destinations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user I uninstalled the app according to instructions, but the problem remains.
In test mode it sounds fine, but in real guidance not. I can just hear the first syllable of the voice.
support The fact that you are just hearing the first syllable could be due to the fact that your device is low on memory. In that case I would suggest powering off your phone and turning it back on again. Clearing some memory could also help.
If you are still experiencing difficulties with voice guidance could you please indicate the following:
1) Have you correctly deleted the "com.alk.copilot" folder when reinstalling CoPilot?
2) Are you using a bluetooth receiver, external speakers or any external device with your phone?
3) Have you correctly downloaded a text-to-speech voice in SETTINGS > LANGUAGE AND VOICE?
4) Which voices have you tried using? CoPilot voices, Android voices?
Additionally could you indicate if you have done any recent changes to your phone recently? A ROM update perhaps?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user 23/01/2013. Reinstalled app for third time. Unfortunately now it is not working neither in test mode. It just spells a "Ti" sound and stops.
Regarding the questions:
1.Additionally could you indicate if you have done any recent changes to your phone recently? A ROM update perhaps?
-Phone is running original android 2.1. Since Oct2012 the phone is rooted, for installing Mobilego and get rid off sony preintalled apps, facebook, some games etc. No weird software outside MARKET has never been installed.
Lately I bought a mobile internet subscription and have been using the Operamini and Copilot together and both apps crashed sometimes.
2.The fact that you are just hearing the first syllable could be due to the fact that your device is low on memory.
-Memory status : RAM 49free/176total, Internal 58free/212total, SD 886free/1800total
3. Have you correctly deleted the "com.alk.copilot" folder when reinstalling Copilot?
-Did this through File manager, I think correctly, select and delete.
4.Are you using a Bluetooth receiver, external speakers or any external device with your phone?
-I am using hands-free speaker, and it works fine with FM radio, tune-in, music player, YouTube, video player, skype etc.
5.Have you correctly downloaded a text-to-speech voice in SETTINGS > LANGUAGE AND VOICE?
-I think so. Like the first time one year ago. How could I do it wrong?
6.Which voices have you tried using? Copilot voices, Android voices?
-I tried default TTS voice and the downloadable also.
-just checked that the ANDROID text-to-speech feature is working
support expected....

Did you follow the steps as described?
Especially the "wipe cache" part may be the solution to your problem.
Did this happened after an update?
I see you are using 2.1 so the app may is not compatible any more. In any cases why don't you try an older version that worked well?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

I did all the steps . Twice.
It was not after an update. Those days I had overloaded the device with many apps running simultaneously, and Copilot crashed sometimes.
ALK ask me to send over some system files to examine.

I asked ALK to send me an older version, and they answered that they DO NOT have any older version available
in the meantime thay had already released an update which does not play voice sounds also.

Probably Memory Related
Based on my experiences with Copilot and voice-guidance, it does indeed sound like a low memory issue.
Voice guidance was working fine for me. All of a sudden, it sounded stuttering badly (or not speaking at all). Turns out that I'd installed one too many memory hungry resident programs. Android must have considered voice to be "low on the totem pole" and started killing it when memory got too tight.
My solution was two fold: I uninstalled unneeded programs and installed the V6 Supercharger script. When I need voice guidance, I use the "Super unleaded" settings to allocate enough memory. Voila...perfect voice guidance once again.

5.3.2.1 FW/Debioating/Getting Amazon Apps Back!!!

Hello People...
Well i got a second hand 5th gen kindle from CEX, luckily its on 5.3.2.1 and from memory, I know this cant be rooted, but can disable or block apps, I blocked the updates, adverts, added google store and bits, and used a option that deleted all bloat except settings and photos, good i thought.....but
I actually miss the store, book store, prime video to name a few, but trying to re-install them from other sites gives errors, adb pushing or installing gives an error too, and trying to install them via google play just show that they are not available....
looking on manage all applications, all the apps that debloated show 'not installed for user' now....can i get them back or do i have to factory reset???

Unfortunately, a factory reset is the only known method for 'unhidding' apps that reside in the system partition on an unrooted device.

OK then mate, never mind.... My fault lol.... Do you think its worth upgrading kindle, or keeping on this firmware?

Newer builds (5.4 series) have more robust Alexia support and possibly a few more security patches. In your shoes I'd stay on 5.3.2.1 until there is a need to update.

Some apps won't load

Hey, happen to have a Nexus 6, 7.1.1.
Just reflashed and relocked, bone stock.
I have a few apps that will not reload from Play Store.
(Happen to be alfaOBD, Simon (the malls), and Amazon Shopping.)
They all show "Installed" and no device eligible - so no reloading.
I have resynced a bunch,(*# codes) hours with entry level googlers, etc.
Alfa is important, as a tool (it requires 4.0.0 something, good there.)
I did add a watch between loading alfa originally and recovering phone.
alfa work just Monday, before recovery.
(Netflix was in the no load list for while, it got better?)
Any suggestions?
