[Q] Manual Nooter Market Issue

Hi - I just downloaded the latest Manual Nooter and applied it to my NC. My market visability seems fine, but when I select an app to download it just hangs there and nothing happens. Anyone have a fix for this? I haven't seen an answer to this anywhere.

i am having the same issue too

well i rebooted with memory card removed and the apps installed fine. when i inserted memory card it stop installing apps. still looking for answers on how to fix
not really liking the rom too well. having a hard time restoring my apps with titanium and the whole process to install non market apps is a pain. hope the fix it with future releases.

Same issue here, with and without the SD CARD. Went from a stock 2.1 no rooting to the ManualNooter 4.5.6.
Trying to install Perfect Viewer and ASTRO File Manager.
I get the "download unsuccessful" which was supposedly fixed with ManualNooter 4.5.6.
*sigh* just going to wait until an AutoNooter comes out, I'm tired of check back all the time, seeing updates, and them not working.

i m also facing the same problem....

Hang in there. Market on mine (after MN 4.5.6) crashes when downloading/updating on occasion but like most early releases it's like a game of "Whack-A-Mole"...fix one thing and two others pop up. I'm positive GabrialDestruir and HamNCheese are working on the irritants and forging ahead. FWIW mine runs well (OC 1.1 also) on both except for the pissy Market (but like I said it works nevertheless).

Netflix WORKING Patch!

I know this was posted elsewhere but thought we needed a dedicated thread...
Patch is from this Asus Transformer thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178773

I'll confirm it seemed to work for me. I bought my Iconia yesterday and updated it to the lastest OS version. Then rooted. I downloaded the new Netflix 1.3 app last night, but got the same error everyone else is reporting. This morning, I downloaded the zip file mentioned above, unzipped the file on my PC, copied just the .so file to a microSD card, put the card in my Iconia, then transferred the file to /System/lib using Root Explorer (backed up a copy of the original file, of course). Then I loaded Netflix and video seemed to work just fine. I wasn't able to test it much since i am at work..the video quality looked good after a few seconds. Didn't verify that the sound and video were in sync. Will do that when I get home tonight.
I wonder if the Hulu hack for the Transformer would work, too? I think its just an older version of the Flash apk (or something like that).

i flashed it as well, video and audio is synced on mine enjoying it right now.

THANK YOU!!
Installed the patch with the old app from the market (before it was taken down) and I had no luck. I didn't even get the 12001 error anymore, this time I just straight up got "Device not compatible"
Installed 1.3 app and boom, good to go. Netflix on Iconia Comfirmed :]
*Also* Like other's have said, yeah it starts off in a crappy quality but about a 30 secs to a min into your movie it scales up

I can also confirm it worked on mine. Virtuous Picasso 1.10. You have to install the app from the download link provided. I just flashed the zip for the patch via CW and thats it. Audio sync is perfect.

confirmed working, sync'd audio!
Excellent work!

Confirmed on stock ROM yet?
Looked through the post and didn't see it.

Virtuous Xoom users - Netflix will work, but your Camera apps will FC.
-- This is probably due to libnvomx.so being pulled from HC3.1 Xoom. We'll need to track down a copy of libnvomx.so from HC3.2 Xoom to confirm.

+1 to that.

Also confirm works on stock 3.1. Only thing I had to do was reboot the tab. Audio synced fine on the first movie I tried.

Do you have to be rooted for this to work?

I posted this elsewhere too... After being successful with this patch and loving the Netflix... I cannot use Music... anyone else having this problem?

Camera crash.
Im running the latest version of picasso and after the patch netflix works great but if i do anything with the camera it force closes. Any thoughts?

Same here. I'm not sure how everyone else installed the patched file, but since I have not installed Clockwork Mod, I did the following:
Extracted the ZIP and dumped the file on my device at /sdcard/
Logged in a local console using Connectbot (in the market)
Ran "su" (requires root)
Remounted the /system partition as RW: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
Renamed the old library: mv /system/lib/libnvomx.so /system/lib/libnvomx.so.bak
Copied the new file from my SDCARD: cp /sdcard/libnvomx.so /system/lib/
Reboot

i have it working without a patch, i just installed it by sending the apk from my thunderbolt, and its the netflix right out of the market. no camera fc's here i think the new update made all tablets work
EDIT: im running virtuous xoom 1.1.2 just to clarify

So you aren't running a factory ROM. And no, the Netflix update didn't make it work with all tablets out of the box.
From the press release I gather that Lenovo worked some deal with Netflix to ensure theirs were the only tablets it worked with. It wouldn't surprise me if Netflix was specifically looking for certain file versions to ensure it works, and intentionally breaking it if not. From the Lenovo press release:
As the first Android-Honeycomb tablets certified for Netflix, Lenovo tablets can help turn every night into
"movie night."

And I have no FC's from my camera after the patch install, so unsure what hungsohlo's issue is.

Market Purchase Error Frustated??

Okay guys runnning tabooney 2.2 updated and everything was running ICS 3.2.0 market kept getting purchase error, so i went in and cleared data removed the my gmail in acct sync and same thing, reboot clear cache dalvik did a full reset flashed the again same issue. one step i havent successfully gotten to do was the place vending.apk thru a file manager. i have r/w permission and root using honeycomb manager and file es,. I even tryed flashing the market 3.1.6 thru cwm with a flashable zip found on xda but i cant find the link anymore. really need some help, finally i just gave up and downgraded back to 3.1hc then updated back to 3.2 thru acer. but i cant live without root now punning lightspeed rom but would like to be on tabooney again THANK!!!! im pretty good at using roms and terminal emu, but not familiar with adb push. but your best help would be awesome. i want to be able to use 3.2.0 ics but if i can get 3.1.6 ill be good with that also

Try to delete gmail account, clear market data them add gmail account and try to download again
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk

me too running taboonay 2.1
i have this problem too - and it seems others have too according to the taboonay thread...there are quite a few solutions that have been posted including
- deleting your market gmail account and setting up a whole new one,
- downgrading to 1.0.28
- upgrading to 3.1.5/3.1.6
- installing apps thru the website
- updating the rom to 2.2
- downgrading back to 2.1
- wiping caches, reflashing etc
but nothing has worked for me unfortunately tho i havent reflashed (yet)
I see someone has posted a new market version 3.3.11 so i'm about to try that, so i'll let u know how it goes in a few ticks!!

ok, its working...for now
right, this is what i did -
backed up!
cleared market data via settings>manage apps, cache was already mt
rebooted
d/l 3.3.11 from here and installed.
now, after i opened it had to do the 'accept' thing and then tried to d/l a game. I got a dialogue asking which application i would like to use and the choices were:
a) com.google.android.finsky, or
b) com.android.vending
i wasn't sure which one so chose a) and got an error "device not compatible" turns out "finsky" was my original market 1.0.28, so -
used the shortcut for 3.3.11 and voila i'm all sweet, woohoo!!!!
i wouldnt be sure that this is "solved" but it is working - i also have 2 market
shortcuts in my apps list and both versions showing in root explore and titanium
unsure as to whether i can uninstall orig. market
but for the moment i think i'll leave things as they are good luck

I am on a 3.2 stock rom and have the same issue. I have tried some of those above mentioned solutions except changing rom and different market app (I am not rooted so I can't try that) and none worked.
I have sent an email to market support and they are looking to it. But I guess 4.0 will be here before they find a solution.

Usually I find the way to fix this problem is to replace vending.apk in your app folder with a compatible one. You need root to do this, as it involves deleting/renaming a file in the system.

I've yet to notice any problems. No FC's at least
Edit: Just installed an app, uninstalled it, and updated another one. Done a bunch of browsing. No problems found so far. Mine updated from 3.1.6 in case that matters.

Won't install for me, says package with same signature already installed. Tried uninstalling market but won't let me do that either.

I tried it, wouldn't update an app that was already installed, restored 3.1.5 and it worked right off. May try it again later...

Also working fine for me. Had to push it to my folder. Can do it using es file explorer

i just used root explorer, renamed to Vending.apk, deleted old vending, put this in /system/app then clicked and installed it,
havent run into a single FC or problem.

I just installed this. It went well and I didn't have to do anything special. Looks good so far, no fc's or any issues downloading/updating my apps. Running almost stock 3.2 by ezterry.
Thanks for the headsup!

It looks nice , much better then 3.2 market but on HC 3.2 it is laggy as hell and I tried it in my new rom and installes ok.
But , but , but , laggy and conflict with finsky.apk that is working together with default a500 market 1.0.28.
The 3.3.11market doesn't update my apps like it should and the only thing you can do is delete the finsky.apk to get rid of those conflicts , google maps don't update , superuser don't update.
So I stay with 1.028 market , better layout for me and no update problems.

Thank you for this! Works perfect.

I tried to install this and it went fine..but after installing it several of my games started to FC on me. Anybody have a clue why? Is it the cache that does it? Can I wipe the cache with CWM without erasing game data?
It stopped when I installed the original marked .apk again.

I've been running this release since I saw it on Engadget. It works but it definitely has it's glitches if you just install the apk in my case. (I don't have or want root).
First of all, the app descriptions don't show up. You see an icon and the 2 or 3 buttons (open, update, uninstall or open, uninstall).
Secondly, there are 2 market app icons now. The market that is originally on the A500, v. 1.0.28 or something like that and the new one.
I'm keeping the new one because I like the auto update setting as well as not having constant notifications for updates. But just keep this in mind IF you are simply going to install by running the apk. I've had absolutely no force closes and for me there' no market lag as others have stated.

How To Bypass the Auto-Update (Tested on Nook HD+)

One annoying feature of new Nook HD+ (and assuming Nook HD) is that during initial set up it will look for and force you to update (if one is found). There is a neat and really easy trick to bypass this process.
Once you get to that step in the process, during the process hold down the power button and force it to shut off by selecting "OK" in the prompt. You have to do it before it finishes downloading the update.
Once you power it back on you'll have to restart the whole process of entering your WiFi and information again. When you get to the point where the device looks for an update, it will look for a few seconds and determine that its got the latest version installed and proceed to the next phase.
To make sure you did it correctly just go into "Settings" and check the version. For me my default was 2.0.4, for you it may be different, but either way its not 2.0.5.
I've tested it multiple times and always with great success.

What about 2.0.4 do you prefer over 2.0.5?
Also, let us know if this actually stays on 2.0.4. Those of us who had already registered Nooks (both HD and HD+) when 2.0.5 came out got updated in spite of having turned off auto updates.

It was for rooting purposes, since at the time I couldn't find a rooting tool for 2.0.5, that's why. Also I too had registered once under 2.0.5, and when starting fresh found that this method does work regardless of what you initially registered under. Though it only buys you little time to do whatever modifications you need to to your device before it automatically updates you (you could also leave WiFi turned off too).

Ok, I thought that might be why. Thankfully we can root 2.0.5 now. But it's good to know this method of postponing that initial update if I ever need to reset and start over.

nook hd+ auto-updated after leapinlar root+cwm fixes
My Nook HD+ notified me last night that it had auto-updated to 2.0.6 but I was able to get back my original Nova Prime Launcher and the Google Play store continues to work (it broke Beautiful Widgets, but uninstalling it and reinstalling it fixed that)
I had originally rooted it from 2.0.5 using the Universal Root method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
I had the following images installed:
NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras-for-stock-rev1.zip
NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev1.zip
NookHD-HDplus-LocationServices.zip
Using CWM for here:
NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev1.zip
Note - I did not manually update or in anyway 'induce' the update, it just happened. Did I miss something in the instructions to prevent auto-update?
Atleast the play store and Nova Launcher keeps working (not had time to check if root is still working though) But I did notice that the B&N Home launcher keeps showing up more often than before (hitting apps and going back brings back Nova)
Thanks

We have known for a while that setting the OTA to manual does not seem to stop auto updates anymore. The good news is that it still accepts the root. Just flash universal root again.

I might have found a way how to disable Nook HD OTA autoupdate feature.
For some reason setting com.bn.device.fota.mode to manual does not work, so there is more straight approach to solve this.
So far i have found two:
1) Once you have rooted your device it is just a matter of editing /etc/hosts file and adding couple of lines
127.0.0.1 nook.com
127.0.0.1 barnesandnoble.com
127.0.0.1 su.barnesandnoble.com
which effectively blocks access to autoupdates, but when you reboot your device, all your data will be erased (nook will restore itself to factory state). So some way around is needed.
2) There is an app on google store called "Android Firewall", install it. Once installed block Wifi for NookConnectivityService. GAPPS and browser will not be affected, you'll get norification "Wifi error". But otherwise wifi is fuctional.

You can symlink the hosts file. See my HD/HD+ tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item 15. Of course there are othe ways to prevent the update, like symlinking build.prop and doing the white on white repair. But those just cause the update to fail, while this may prevent them even checking. If this works, I may update my CWM zip to include it.
EDIT: After researching this a little I have found an easy way to accomplish this. That is to use AdAway. You can safely use that program if you configure it to put the hosts file on /data. It automatically symlinks it for you. But you need to be rooted to use this app. And it has a feature where you can add your own sites to block. Just add those sites listed in the post above. Then every time AdAway updates its own list, it adds your list to it also. This will block B&N from using those sites to download their updates. But realize that it also blocks you from browsing their site.

You did not miss it. I just got it working this weekend and this is the first I have told anyone. I am going to test it a while before I even consider making it for anyone else. It does work but I had to manually configure some things. And it only works on CM10.1, not CM10. Until we get some better CM10.1's it does not really matter anyway.

If you mean the Play Store, yes no problem - I don't use any other Play apps (like music, books, etc.). I am on 2.06, rooted, ADW EX Launcher and see no issues whatsoever with WiFi (as a matter of fact, no issue signing in to BN.com and downloading one of my books.
