I'm sure you know what this does, incase you don't, you can set your sky + box from your phone and browse the programme schedule.
I've installed the attached file and get as far as being able to enter my user name and password. The login and exit buttons do not respond.
Any ideas of how to make this work? any devs able to adapt this for our HDs?
This would be a great app to use.
Thanks

Seems like a Java application. I usually don't like to use my midlet A native application would definitely be cool.

You can also buy a SlingBox and broadcast Sky and other video sources to your phone, laptop, PC etc.
Hi all, recently bought one of these nice little devices myself. This is how I got on, not all that's supposed to work actually does.
Rooting with Touchnnoter 2.1.31 was easy enough and I soon found SearchMarket to access Android Market. What does work: Kindle, QuickPic, AdAway, DropBox, GoodNews
So I could be reading books and news, but I'd like to have a bit more, namely web access!
- ReadItLater/Pocket is shown as purchased in Market, but can't be installed
- Stock browser shows starting page as Error404, directly opening another page works first time only, but links or scrolling don't. Plus it often crashes.
- pre-installed Opera Mini didn't work, so I uninstalled and reinstalled:
a) only clicking "accept" REALLY fast allowed me to open it at all, otherwise it'd crash
b) spiegel.de and BBCNews always crash, even with images turned off I only briefly see the page layout
- Opera Mini Next doesn't open,
- Opera Mobile and Evernote are supposed to work, but don't appear on SearchMarket
- Dolphin Browser often crashes as well, plus no add-ons can be found
Any ideas why this is happening?
Plus: can anybody tell me how to access the external sdcard? I tried several file managers, activated root access etc. but have never been able to access /mnt/ or external_sd or emmc. So I haven't been able to sideload any apk either.
Thanks!
I use Opera Mobile, I found the apk somewhere (not on Market).
The SD card appears as /sdcard in the system (i.e. shell or ADB).
It is the second device mounted on the USB (i.e. desktop).
If you are writing an application you need the permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
There's also Instafetch as an alternative clipper.
Regards market errors, it's nice to do adb installs anyway, just a matter of getting hold of the .apk, possibly from AppBrain. OperaMobile (not to be mistaken with the lighter streaming OperaMini) works well for me. Perhaps there's a apk direct from Opera available.
It sounds like you have a problem with market. Perhaps adblock could be interfering? As I say, check out alternative ways to install in the interim.
The last couple versions of opera mini don't work but luckily I backed up my apps via airdroid and have a version that works. Readitlater/Pocket does not work because their recent updates have dropped android 2.1 support. Have you tried es file explorer? In ES you tap the home icon on the toolbar and select Phone the sdcard should then appear as a folder

I see both Opera Mobile and Evernote through SearchMarket.
Try to see if you can find Opera Mobile directly from Market (not SearchMarket)
Market -> App -> Communication -> Top Free
Opera Mobile is on the second page.
Alternatively you could go to Google Play on your desktop/laptop
and see if the Nook shows up on the devices (its called Phone).
Then install them on the website for the device, and a few seconds later you will see them install on the nook.

Browsing and installing from the webstore is definitely way faster than on the Nook.
Also, I use another app called Quick Search Widget. Launch it as an app or from the widget. It can search the Market, and also doubles as a Google/wikipedia/... search widget.
Wow, thank you all for your tips - quite a kick-start and steep learning curve!
SD card: my bad, as "sdcard" was available. But as I recently formatted this drawer on my SGS (wanting to format the external sdcard, but wiping the OS...) I was extra cautious. Settled.
I downloaded adb and installed apks, great! I still don't get it how to do this on the Nook itself. There's something in NookColorTools about the app having to be in /system/apps/ or else it won't work...
And I'm quite proud to have figured out why Market didn't work! There was something wrong with the content filter: although set to "all", a lot of apps were blocked. Having switched to "mature", I'm in business with Evernote and trying out Instafetch.
BTW: @Schneicw, you're the best! The working OperaMini.apk was the best birthday present (couple of days early)! You wouldn't happen to have an old ReadItLater.apk lying around as well?!?
Next, I'll give the ebooklauncher a shot. Fingers crossed!

You probably do not have install of Non-Market apps enabled.
Bring up NookColor Tools, and you will see check box with "Allow Non Market Apps". This might be checked (but still not working).
So you need to uncheck this box and recheck it.
Also try out remote install of apps from the google play website play.google.com/store/apps from a laptop (you need to login with the same account as on your nook), I find that really convenient...

I've got my Nook Simple Touch rooted with latest Touchnooter. The thing is, I don't want to use the Android Market at all. I want to install the F-Droid repository instead, as it has nothing but Free Software Apps, and has satisfied all my needs on my Droid phone, and I would prefer to keep as much of my data away from google as I can.
I have the FDroid.apk file. But I can't understand how to install it. I have the box (about allowing install of outside apps) in NookColor Tools checked. But I don't know how to get to the file on the SD card to start installing it.
What is this I've been hearing about installing with adb? Does that mean you can't just go to a file manager, select the apk, and begin installing? Because that is essentially how F-Droid installs its apps. Just does it all on its own, you just click "Install". But if that method doesn't work on the NST. Than F-Droid won't work
Any help would be very appreciated. God Bless ya guys!!
P.S. also the stock browser doesn't really work right. just goes to a black screen after a couple different web pages. And Opera (the one installed by Touchnooter) won't open at all. Just flashes the screen once, then stays on the home screen.
We really need a custom made CyanogenMod Rom!!! I get the feeling it would solve alot of our issues.

You should be able to connect the nook to your Windows machine and copy the .apk onto the sdcard.
For browser Opera Mobile works for me.
TouchNooter also has the Amazon Market, which you could use.

well as a first note, I would like to say I have no Windows machines at all. I am 100% Linux
But I already have the apk file on my SD card. Its just I have no idea how to get to the file to install it. I thought that the app "Super Manager" was a file explorer/manager of some sort. But it does the same thing as Opera, I click on the icon in the App drawer, and the screen just flashes once or twice. Then returns the the home screen. No thing saying that it has crashed or anything.
So that is where I'm stuck.
Also, as a side note, I wish to use the F-Droid repository, because I want to use nothing but Open Source (Also known as Freedom Based) Software. Including markets. It's the number one reason why I use nothing but Linux on my machines. Linux is also faster than Mac or Windows, but won't get into that can of worms right now. hahaha.
You could write your own file explorer Jk
adb install seems to be the way for you.
Google "ADB download install", there should be a ton of links.
However now you will have software created by google installed/running on
your linux machine. (ha ha).

Lol Well I have next to zero programming knowledge. But when I find the the best open source file explorer I'm definitely gonna throw the dev more than a few bucks for his hard work.
I'll look into adb installing for now. Just really hope and pray we get a Cyanogen or some other real Rom ported to NST soon. I think would solve all our issues with a totally different rom on it.
P.S. yes, having proprietary google software is gonna bug the crap outta me!! lol
God Bless ya guys!
Hey
I rooted my new NSTGL (bought yesterday) and everything seems to work properly.
I did according the suggestions but if I enter the web via built-in browser (Opera Mini doesn't work and has to be updatet first - same as the market) it let me in just to the link of e.g. google play.
If i choose such a link with the built-in browser so it takes me back to the Android Home of my nook.
So I don't have any possibility to get the recommended apps for Opera Mini or the market.
Does anybode have an idea, how I can update anykind of a browser for entering the links e.g. Google Play?
The connection to the web is established wee, the gmali-app shows me incoming mails.
I was also not able to create a B&N Account on the nook (I did in the web) because it doesn't work from Switzerland.
But the problem is to find a way to get into the appstore...
Thanks for helping an sorry for my English - is not my mothertongue

I don't know if it's the same with Glowlight, but with Nook Simple Touch Nook browser or Opera don't work. In first boot after root you log in to Google services by Youtube, then refresh Gmail and then wait half a day until market works.
After market works, you still won't be able to use search function, so you have to scroll and scroll until you find Es File Explorer (or under My Apps with luck you could have a file manager). With ES File Explorer or other file manager, you can install your apk's, including alternative app markets like 1mobilemarket.
Also don't forget to go to Nook Color Tools and tap twice the field "allow install 3rd party apps (uncheck and then check again).
The only other option than I'm aware of is creating an amazon account through a vpn and american adress, so you can install apps through amazon app store that comes pre-instaled with nook root package.

Jepp - it seems that the problem was that I did not wait half a day... Meanwhile I am able to download any apps from the market but the selection is very restrictet. It mus be a thing of the android version. I don't know which android runs unter NSTGL.
There is no Webbrowser ready for install - no Firefox or Chrome or Opera Mobile which was the suggested browser in the root-guidance.
With installing apk-files I don't have any experience - thi is the first time i rooted a device. Do you know a good source for that in the www?
Thanks a lot and have a nice week.

Nook Touch has Android 2.1, which lots of apps don't support anymore.
For instance, in order to get Aldiko or Kindle working, you have to install previous versions, which generally you can get on the app section of Nook Touch forum on XDA or googling it. To be honest, I don't usually memorize the sites I use to that, since I have all the apk I need (if you have a request, pm me).
Installing an apk is very easy: just copy the file to SD Card, than open it with a file manager on your Nook and voilá (don't forget to go to Nook Color Tools and tap twice the field "allow install 3rd party apps (uncheck and then check again).
As I suggested to you earlier, you have to go to Top Free Apps on Market app, scroll down until you find ES File Explorer and install it. Then, you can install all apk's, like 1mobilemarket that is kind of a non official market http://www.1mobile.com/app/market/

Hello you all,
I am using Netbeans to develop Android app using HTML5 technologies. I have SDK installed etc, but one thing I can say I cannot even test my app in the Android emulator nor in the Android mobile browser.
The Android emulator is really slow. It just stuck on the boot screen where there is the flashing Android logo. I waited for hours but in vain. I restarted, deleted AVD and created new again but no luck. I am fed up with this. I saw may persons encounter this. Moreover, I have also downloaded other emulators like Genymotion but it lacks many things.
On the Android browser emulator in Netbeans, I do not know why it does not work. I have USB Debugging tool enabled on my phone, and even installed Chrome on PC. It asks to enable debugger tool on Chrome mobile as well, but there is no such thing. I went on Chrome desktop and enable it on "about:inspect", but no luck again. It does not connect. So I dropped it.
What I want is a good free Android emulator and also a free mobile browser emulator to test my app in display on different screen sizes. Do you know some?
Thank!
