Anyone manage to get this to work on a Manual Nootered Nook? I got the App store on my Nook but when I go to download Apps it fails.
Any suggestions?
I'm running a 1.2 NC with 4.5.18 Manual Nooter.
I found that for my manualnooter'd 1.2 NC I needed to have a nook-formatted microSD card installed. Just leaving my CWM Bootable imaged card in would not work, though there wasn't a good error message just failed application loads.
Good luck,
Ron
That is the problem I'm having but I re-formated the SD card after I used it to Nooter and I still get a failure when it tries to download an App.
Haven't had any issues with mine since day 1. Have you tried unchecking and checking the non-market apps box in nook color tools? Not sure if Amazon appstore has any firewall reqmts...
I checked andecked it multiple times and it still doesn't work.
If someone could post step by step instructions for getting the App store on a nootered Nook Color and then downloading apps then maybe I could figure out where I went wrong.
I'm having the same problem. I just rooted my NC today using MN4-5-18. I downloaded the app store and when I try to download an app, it says the download fails.
Thanks!!!
duh, I just figured it out. I had to have a credit card entered for my 1-click payment.
So go into your amazon app store and choose whatever app you want. You'll get an error message and it'll bring you to your account page. Enter in your phone number and turn on 1-click purchase. Enter in your credit card info. Go back into the app store and try downloading again.
Hope it works!
So I fixed it. Apparently I didn't have a default credit card on my Amazon account. Once I set one of my credit card as default it worked perfectly.
The NC return "An Unexpected Error Occurred" message after starting the B&N sync in the Libraries of either Magazines or in Books. I did the Market tip which reset Market for me. Btw, I upgraded from ManualNooter 4.5.6 to 4.5.18.
NookColor 1.2, ManualNooter 4.5.18
Any suggestions,
getting the same error
Huh, I think it was from B&N. It also occurred in the B&N app, running under CM7.
Though, I have not confirmed that my magazine subscriptions have updated since the 4.5.18 update.
The error did not occur in the B&N app, running under CM7 today.
see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092036 to see if that helps.
Shucks, the error still occurs in MN but doesnt appear in the Nook app in CM7.
Shop displays, but, clicking on a book selection errors out: service unavailablle.
Sent from my NOOKcolor MN 4.5.18 using XDA Premium App
To resolve the issue I reformated my NC and flashed back to 1.01 following this process: [HOW-TO] : Restore Nook Color back to stock EASILY!
Then updated to NC v1.2 via the manual load method.
Then installed MN 4.5.18.
Seems to be working but with an exception or two observed:
1. On install of 1.0.1, the NC app, Springpad appeared as a book on Home and still does. I can archive it (as a book) but it is not in the app archive (1.2). Downloading just makes it appear and act as a book.
Is there a way to remove NC apps that appear and act like books?
2. I thought there was another observation, oh ya, the reformatting and restore to 1.0.1 instructions indicate that I would loose all my personal data. It and other stray folders remain.... curious....
3. Wifi is annoying, but after a while, I noticed it should settle down and mind its own.
MN nice! I like the Nook Home button.
I successfully removed and then installed Springpad:
1. Archive the app.
2. Log onto B&N in your favorite browser and then delete it from the archive.
3. Find app and the install app.
It is somehow tied up with either the "Account and Sync Settings 2.2.1" or "AuthenticationSvc 1.0" system apps...or both together. Maybe someone with better skills than me can work with that.
So I tried to update some apps I had already downloaded and installed from the Amazon App store on my Nook and I get a message that my device is not supported. How do I fix this?
Additional Info - Rooted, using MN 4.6.16 not other real changes.
Mine started doing this a few days ago. Have bought a dozen or so apps over the months but now this!!???!!
MN Stock BN 1.2 also

Do a little searching. There are threads on this all over the forum as well as in many of the other Android forums.
I believe if Amazon lets you completely reinstall anything from "your apps" list cuz apps I had installed on my phone I also installed on my nook as well via Amazon. So..you may need to uninstall then reinstall all ur apps again. First back up with titanium backup...ALSO...Amazon just did an update to their app store not to long ago..but u must have updated the app right?
I recently installed CM7.1/n198 on an SD card (Sandisc 16G class 2) and have been happy wih everything except one thing.
I am unable to download the Nook App (2.7.2) from the market, which claims I am not installing from a compatible device.
Since this is a clean install (gapps -gb-20110613-signed), I dont believe there is a way to revert my Google Market back to the 'old version'.
How can I get Nook to run on my Nook? It seems counterintutive.
You could try clearing market app data. Settings->Aplications->Market->clear data.
If that doesn't work you'll need to probably change your dpi, theres a couple tutorials around the forum on how to get the market working, most of them just work for some time. Since the market isn't a 100% working with the NC you'll need to do the clear data steps from time to time.

You still got a market update... you can revert to the older market as described by freezing/renaming/deleting marketupdater.apk and going into manage apps and uninstalling updates.

As far as I am aware, the google apps package people are including with the nightly updates is still the old market. Yours may have later updated on its own...
Indeed Market DID update on its own, so reverting (a few times actually) did the trick eventually.
Do we know why the market claims the nook color cannot run the B&N Nook app?

Long story. Just stick with the old market or move up to nightly 200 where the LCD density was resent to 160.
Has anyone been able to install the new version of Kindle (3.4.0) for Android on a rooted Nook Touch? It's supposed to work for Android 2.1+, but the update doesn't show up in the Market for me, and if I uninstall Kindle entirely, and then re-download and reinstall it, I get version 3.2.0 again. If I try to sideload the apk, I get a Parse Error.
I'd really love to get the updated app installed, because it shows the page numbers from the original book, which would be useful leading my students through a textbook.
OK, then, let me ask a different question: has anyone successfully installed the new Kindle for Android version, or am I the only one with a problem?
Seriously, has no one else tried to install the new version of Kindle for Android? You can tell what version you have by looking at the app in Titanium Backup. It's a serious bummer that I bought this Nook because I could easily read both Nook and Kindle e-books, and less than two months later the thing won't install the latest version of Kindle.

3.2.0 is the version from market and works on all nook touch. 3.4 is from Amazon appstore and is DRM protected. The apk will only installed on a Nook touch signed in with the orignal amazon account.

No, 3.4.0 is also in the Android Market--I know that because 1) the new version was announced on Android Central (and a lot of other places), 2) the version number is listed in the Android Market description, and 3) I successfully downloaded it, from the Market, onto my phone, and verified the version number in Titanium Backup. I also just verified, on my phone, that page numbers work (though you have to tap the bottom of the screen or select "Go to" to see them).
Good idea to try the Amazon Appstore version--but unfortunately, Kindle for Android doesn't even show up in the Appstore for my Nook. That does lead to another question, though: has anyone successfully downloaded and installed Kindle 3.4.0 from the Amazon Appstore?
Actually, I just tried another tactic, and transferred the 3.4.0 Titanium Backup files to the Nook. I first tried restoring 3.4.0 over the top of 3.2.0--this appeared to be successful, but when I opened the app it was still 3.2.0. I then uninstalled 3.2.0 and tried the restore of 3.4.0 again, and it simply hangs: it's apparently, for some reason, not compatible with the Nook Touch. I wonder if there's some way that could be fixed?

Thanks. I have the Amazon Appstore installed--that's not the problem. The problem is Kindle for Android, which doesn't show up in the Amazon Appstore (and I have copies of the APK of Kindle for Android). I am able to find and install other apps from the Appstore, though for some apps I get a Parse Error when I try to.

I have BN 1.1.0 for the Touch. Kindle 3.2 shows up when I go to Market - not Android Central but the google market. Kindle 3.4 shows up when I go to Amazon Appstore. My understanding is that for Market, only apks that install shows up.
What version of Touch are you on and how did you root the Touch?
I'm using SalsichaNooter, though I tried to install the APK under MinimalTouch (which is I what I rooted with this time, after doing a factory restore). It is definitely not the case that all apps that show up in the Appstore can be installed: for example, Application Folder Pro is one I've purchased (for my phone) and that shows up on the Nook, but I get a "Parse Error" when I try to install it.
And yes, you're right that it says 3.2 in the Android Market, under the actual version number; I was looking instead at the changelog, which says 3.4. However, that's only for the Nook: for my Evo 3D, the version that shows up in the Android Market is 3.4.
Before I go putting another ROM on this thing, have you actually been able to install version 3.4.0 of Kindle for Android from the Amazon Appstore, and if so, what ROM are you using?
If I install the Kindle app from the Android Market on my NST running B&N 1.1.0, I get v3.2.0.35. If I install it on my NC running B&N 1.4.1, I get 3.4.0.156.
The NST is only running 2.1 Eclair, while the NC is running 2.2 Froyo. On the Kindle Market page, it says the current version "varies with device", so I suspect that's the underlying issue
The rooters don't change the actual ROM you're running. Not sure what you mean by another ROM.
Chances are it's not running properly because it needs Froyo or higher, meaning that the NST is just not compatible no matter what you try.

All of the custom ROM's available for the Nook Touch are the same version of Android, 2.1 (Eclair), but there are several different ROM's available (four that I know of): in the usual Android parlance, if the firmware is modified at all (even though it's based on the original firmware), it's called a new ROM. When you root your Nook, you're not merely rooting it, but actually changing some of the stuff in the original ROM, including, for example, the framework files--if you look inside the MinimalTouch package, for example (since that one comes as a ZIP file, it's easy to look at), you'll see all the files that are changed.
However, as a later poster noted, the problem seems to be that Kindle 3.4 runs only on Android 2.2+, rather than Android 2.1+; Amazon doesn't appear to have bothered to document this, and that's the source of my confusion.
Safe to say, then, "putting another ROM on" won't fix this problem. You'll still be running 2.1 Eclair, no matter which rooter you try. I think you're stuck with the older Kindle version on this device, at least for now. I'm not aware of any ongoing efforts to put Froyo on this device.

They're not different ROMS. They just aren't. All you're doing is rooting the device, not replacing the ROM.
I rooted my Nook a while back (still even on the 1.0.0 firmware), but only now started looking into updating it. I saw the update for the Kindle on my Sensation versus the NST, but I'm not sure I see a compelling reason to try to force the update (though a real page numbers would be nice).
Is the hardware even capable of running Froyo? Maybe it's just the e-ink screen, but it seems slow enough just with Eclair.
hardware is capable of running froyo but there is no froyo rom for NST. :-D
It's already been stated, but to summarize:
The new Kindle app needs Android 2.2 and above, the NST is only at 2.1.
There are no roms for this device at the moment, and probably never.
See attached older version that I just installed on a Simple Touch no problem.
3.2.0.35 shows up in the Market on my rooted NST. It's just the newer version that doesn't.
Newspapers
I have recently discovered that reading newspapers/magazines is only really possible with the older versions (Kindle-2.0.5.103970165.apk : http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/kindle) because the overview page of a multistory object on the newer versions 3+ does not accept gestures (swipe up and down are ignored or interpreted as clicks) so it is impossible to scroll. The gestures work fine in every other part of the program just not in the overview. The only apparent downside of version 2 is that there is no dictionary which I sometimes miss.
