A Crackle, Hulu+, Netflix and HBO Go tutorial? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a request. Can someone please guide me on how to make hulu+, Netflix, HBO go, and crackle work on the nook color? I can't even download them from the market; they don't appear. If I try to browse the market on PC, it says that they're incompatible on the nook. Please help me out. Or at least point me to the right direction.

You need to download the .apks online and then sideload them.

Is Netflix still working on the NC?

Ok, I'm a noob....how do you "sideload"?
I read HBO Go and Netflix won't work on the nook. ??

netflix works, you just have to get the latest, official apk from somewhere. Working right now on my Nook Color. I couldn't be happier with the device since I moved back to CM7 (nightly), and recalibrated the screen

Download to your phone/other working device
Copy the .apk from that device to your PC
Copy it from your PC to your Nook
Install on Nook
The easiest way to get a copy of the .apk is to use Titanium Backup to backup the app, which will put it right on your SD card.
EDIT: I should also note, if you have enough USB ports you can just mount the phone and the nook at the same time and copy the .apk directly [ex: Copy from I: to J:]. If you're low on USB ports you'll need to do the steps as listed above.

HBO: Don't use, but you probably need the IMEI gen or something...

[Q] Is wireless push/sync possible?

I have a BNRV300 (nook simple touch) ... is there any way to 'push' epub files to it over wifi?
Thanks!

Yes but all methods require that you root your NST.
And if you choose to root your device, be sure to make a backup FIRST!
And make sure your backup file is ~1.82GB .. if less then you did it wrong!
I cannot emphasize this enough, every week we see one or more totally bricked Nooks because people either failed to make a backup, or did it wrong, and when you total it, well, it cannot be fixed unless you return it to B&N, simple as that!
OK, thanks; I figured I'd have to root it.
Does rooting remove the B&N reader software?
Would I then have to install a 3rd party ereader?
Does it basically become an AOSP android device?

Leaves all of it there. Though if you wanted to, you could install another reader app.
I tried using ADB over wifi to push epubs and while they copy fine and appear in the Library app, the reader app can't access them. I asume because the file ownership is wrong? Aldiko opens them fine.
Any way to fix this?
Check this thread once you have rooted your nook.

You can use Calibre to wirelessly sync your books to your nook.
Need to have Calibre on your computer and on your Nook.
I use dropbox with dropsync. You csn have it check for changes and sync or manuakly sync. It works great!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestions, I tried Renate's adbsync tool but still have the same issue with the Nook's stock reader not being able to read the file. Wondering now if it's down to the particular root tool I used - loney's "UK 1.2.0 Glow ONLY TFU Software Upgrade"
I imagine Calibre would work fine but I'm happy with the stock reader for now and don't need to sync a lot of files - doing them manually with adb push isn't an issue.

What firmware version was on your nook before you rooted?
loney's rooting tool is for UK Nook's with fw 1.2
if you have a US Nook glow or non-glow with fw 1.2 then root with Tinynoot.
if you have a US Nook glow with fw 1.1.5 then root with Glownooter

It's a UK nook that came with fw 1.2. Have now realised that after a reboot the stock Reader can access the files, will carry on investigating.

[Q] Kindle apk request

I accidentally replaced the contacts apk's on my Kindle Fire with the apk's from my Android phone (thinking it would import my full contacts instead of just the name and phone number) and now my contacts don't work and googleservicesframework keeps force closing...I know, I should have made a backup first. Dumb. I'm still learning.
If anyone has the Kindle: accountandsyscsettings.apk and .odex,contactsprovider.apk and odex I would appreciate it very very much. Thanks.
Just download the update.zip from the Amazon site and pull the files from it.

OH MAN do I feel dumb. Thanks! That worked perfectly. I always do this kinds thing when I first root a device. I need to be more careful with system apps.
This is probably a little off topic Airmaxx23....
...but how do I get my kindle reader back. I am on CM7 and was wondering if there is a way to access books as I would on stock?

Yeah, download the zip update from amazon, unarchive it, and put the launcher on your kindle.

Just use the Kindle app from the Android Market.
I use the app from the market and honestly I think its better than the original one that came with the kindle.

Samsung Ebook:The taste that will never have a rival...

In several threads in this forum,many users(especially book addicts) need the Samsung Ebook APP for android ICS(or HC maybe?) but never get a proper,fully functional result.but this thread is to end their worries about the loss and perhaps will be an end to that problem...
It's simple:just download the APP files and follow the instructions and ENJOY!
There will be two posts that will follow: one for Honeycomb and the other for ICS...
News: a new Q&A section is likely to be created in each of the following posts!

For Honeycomb:
There are two files:the one that is in the attachment is flashable with CWM recovery but doesn't have the APP's data,the data must be downloaded through WiFi.
Use the second file only if your device is rooted and you have Titanium backup installed.just pu the folder "Titanium backup" in the root of your tablet's storage and restore the APP using Titanium.this file is accessible here:
https://rapidshare.com/files/2721766285/TitaniumBackup_.zip

For Ice Cream Sandwich:

All is fine,try again...otherwise it is your problem only...if so,pm me
I downloaded it from the Samsung appstore before I disabled the Samsung appstore on my tab. It is in there too for those running stock.
Yes,maybe,if you have stock HC or ICS installed on HC...but most users have experienced issues with non-stock ROMs,this is for them
I really want to try the Samsung ebook reader but having trouble installing. My tablet is stock hc3.2 and non-rooted and have the Samsung appstore loaded on the Tab. When I try to install, the Samsung App jumps to Google Play and says not compatible with any of my devices (HTC Incredible 2, Nook Color (rooted) and Tab).
Anybody have any ideas how to install with out being rooted.
Thanks in advance
Yes,that's easy if you're familiar with Odin...do the following(voids warranty,no root):
Go to: https://sites.google.com/site/arashtarafar/
Download "recovery.tar.md5","bootloader.tar.md5","boot-cm...hc32..."
Flash the first two files with Odin,go into CWM and flash the third file...
Grab the "Ebook.zip" from the Honeycomb post in this thread(attachment),transfer the zip to your device and flash it with CWM...
Now you have stock 3.2 Ebook APP without root...launch it and in Samsung APPs press "Get",after completion press "Launch",the APP is in your device
Edit:for your Google play issue,I must say that if you log in with a banned/embargoed google account it shows "You do not have any devices",I have the same problem...hate and love Google play at the same time...
Thanks for the reply. But I don't want to load CWM. I'm waiting for ICS to come out for my SCH-i905 before I do any rooting / alternate recovery application. My account isn't banned or embagoed(?) cause I can load any other application from the play store to my Tab.
Download the zip from Honeycomb section,extract it,in the extracted folder go to "\system\app\"" and install "Ebook.apk",launch it,download it's data,done...
Information:the only benefit of flashing the zip package was to have Ebook installed as one of the system APPs that can't be uninstalled,there's no need to flash it otherwise...I should have said this,sorry...
Ebook
Do you know if it works in CM9 ?
(Flashing Ebook.zip via CWM)
:laugh:
I think it works but have not tested.I'll test it as soon as I get rid of the official ICS,you can test it yourself without harm if you don't like waiting.just follow the above post(first of page 2)

Arashtarafar, Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the APK but when I try to run the app, I get a message that "Service will be available soon" and nothing happens.
When I go into the Samsung App Center, it must recognize that it is installed cause I can "Delete" the application.

Thank you for finally getting me this working copy. I looks very similar to Aldiko but with a few extra features. Everyone keeps raving about this reader so I'm giving it a shot. thanks again.
I already notice a couple of differences

[Q] Any idea why I can't get certain books to show in my library

I have quite a few NOOK Read To Me books that will not show up in my library. I have CM7.2 with the latest version of the Nook app from the Play Store. I can buy other books fine and they download immediately, but not these. Any idea why? The device is registered with the same account that I'm using for the app.
I paid for these books and actually can't download them onto the PC and transfer them (they say the item can't be downloaded from a browser).
Any help is appreciated.

I don't think the read to me books work on the nook android app. I think you have to be on the stock reader.

Read to me books can only be read on the bn stock firmware. Hope you still have stock firmware on emmc. To see the read to me books on the android bn reader app, go to first drop down box, press "all items", select "everything else". You will see all your read to me books, but you will not be able to open them. Has to do with bn proprietary software and adobe air. If you have cm7.2 in emmc you can put bn stock firmware on SD or internal alternate boot.
Any way to download/save them and re-flash cm7.2?

No. Once you have BN stock firmware set up either on SD card or emmc you can sign into your BN account and re-sync the device. You will then be able to see your purchased items. Look at LeapinLar's tips thread to restore BN stock firmware. You have several options on where you put the stock ROM and cm7/10.

If the process is the same on aftv then use adbfire to push the SprtsDvl zip to your storage.
Then on xbmc? Assuming your running that on the aftv..since you didnt make any mention of just stated you wanted to install on aftv.
Anyway.
Xbmc go to settings/addons/install from zip/sd or storage/bottom of list will be your zip/install/enjoy.
i try that and put error script, no dependeance error too, if you have one plugins work with that method please share.
Ill assume its because its not playing well with sportsdevil

If you happen to have Sports Devil running on another device with XBMC on it (ipad, ect) you can download XBMC Backup on that device and perform a backup of your XBMC. I saved the file to my NAS. Then download XBMC Backup on your Fire TV and do a restore. I have done this on multiple boxes and sticks and it works great.

I am using adbFire and found this same sequence on line. I cannot get it to work. I go into the program, push the zip to add ons or sd card (tried both) and it just does not appear on the kodi on the fire tv. I have looked in every folder and can't find it. I started with root/sd card since that's what I saw elsewhere. Any ideas?
You can just download it on your Fire TV then unzip it and move the folder to your addons folder. People are still updating the sportsdevil addon and there are a few places that you can find the updates. The latest version is 1/15/2015. Just google it to find the download.

I couldn't find a recent link either. I found a page with many sportsdevil video plugin zips but when I push it to aftv it doesn't show up for some odd reason. I tried pushing to different locations. I understand not posting those links but if a pm is ok I'd like to get it working, but it's not urgent because I mostly use it for baseball games in spring/summer.
