I got the boot loop. I did the 8 shutdown, updated to 1.3, installed 4.5.25, then 4.6.16, then did the Flash update.
My market opens but I can not get any of my previously installed apps to show up so I can install them again. Apps like Angry Birds, Dolphin Browser, Moon+reader, are not even showing up when I do a search for them.
I followed all these steps under the first tread relating to Market has limited visibility. Everything else seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions on how I can get my previously installed apps to install again?
If I go to Android Market on my computer I can see the apps that were once installed. There are around 25. I just don't see them on my NC anymore.
My market version is 3.1.5, Is this the latest version??

I am running MN 4.6.16
When I go to Android Market on my computer I see under settings it says there are no devices associated with this account, this is probably why they are not showing on my NC.
How do I associate my NC to my account?
124 views and no suggestions??????????????
I'm running CM7, not stock, so I can't help.
But about Market issue, make sure having dpi set to 160.
That should be the very first step.
So now 149 views and still no suggestions.

That referred to someone running CM7, where I am running MN 4.6.16. If this would help I would love to try it.
So, how do I go about changing my density to 160?
Thanks

Actually I have been reading every post for the past few weeks trying to find an answer to my problem.
My problem, and I will go over it again. On my computer when I go to the Android market, under my account I can see all the apps that I had previously installed. When I go under settings it says : there is no device associated with this account.
How do I re-associate my Nook Color with my Android Account so I can re-install my apps?
When I do a search for these apps from the market on my Nook Color, none of them show up.
Apps in question: Dolphin HD Browser, Angry Birds, Moon+ reader, Aidiko, Yahoo Mail, ...... none of these show when I do a search.
I have done the 8 restart, started back from 1.0.0, updated to 1.3, applied MN 4.5.18, then 4.6.16, did the Flash Player.zip fix, did the Market has limited visibility fix, did the lcd density fix.
I have been asked a few time to either create or use an existing google account, when this has happened I thought it would finally associate my NC to my Android Market account, but it doesn't.
So yes, I have done searches, and have tried everything I can think of. Now I am asking for any suggestion.
Another suggestion: get the Market FIXED first.
I have done this at least 20 times. So I need to keep doing it? How will this associate my NC with my Android Market Account?
Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.
Start Nook Color Tools.
Select the "All Settings" button.
Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
Choose "Manage Applications" from the list.
Select the "All" tab.
Scroll down to "Market" and select it.
Tap "Force stop".
Tap "Clear cache".
Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).
Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it.
Tap "Clear data".
Tap "OK".
Tap "Force stop".
Press the n button to return to your launcher.
Start Market.
At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK".
Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.
Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.
Start Market again, and the problem is resolved.
I really want to help you but, pls forgive me if I've missed, I failed to see you mentioned or made sure the lcd_density set to 160 dpi.
Did you?
Yes, in post #11, I downloaded LCD Resolution and made sure density was at 160.

Try this.... clear market data and cache... clear vending data.... use LCD resolution to set 240... start market.... see if you have everything then.
It is also possible that since rooting stock leaves the device fingerprint... everything may not show up in market.
Thanks, I will give that a try

Maybe something was wrong on my end or I need an eye check-up, but I can't see anything mentioned about 160 dpi on your post #11, at all.

I'm currently trying Plenems donut build and Myns build, but in both I cannot find this app:
World Forecast Clock Widget
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.satok.gweather/
Plenems build is supposed to be the full market (and I can see paid apps), but this app is free. Every time I search, it comes back with no results.
Is it because it requires a higher resolution or something?
Thanks.
If things haven't changed since I read about it then the resolution when you first boot and setup your google account will determine what apps you get to see in the Market. So your assumption that the resolution plays a roll in the problem you've described is most probably true.
Usually the rule of thumb is to boot the first time with the highest resolution to have high res apps shown in the Market. Then install the apps that you need and finally restart Android with your preferred resolution.
You might want to look around in the forums for detailed instructions on tricks to keep the high res apps from disappearing after being back to the lower resolutions. Usually after a week or so they disappear.
Have fun Droiding!
P.S. you've switched the m and n in Plemen's username.
So do the high-res apps work with the lower resolution after I switch back? Better yet, is there any way to get the .apk so I don't have to do this trick?
> P.S. you've switched the m and n in Plemen's username.
Sorry, the mistake was unintentional.

sorry if my FAQ was not organized enough or clear enough for you to find the answer, it's a work in progress. market enabler only allows you to see paid apps. plemen's ealier build emulated this by using the same t-mobile settings to identify the device. this has nothing to do with the resolution problem and not seeing some free apps. you need to back up your data file and boot a new one with 320x480 as your resolution. see here.
Hi Guys,
Just hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I flashed to 3.01 US stock from UK in order to get the updates. I updated twice to 3.2.
What I'm noticing now is that if I click on a link, that launches an associated app (browser for instance), I used to get a screen jump up and ask which app I wanted to use. So if I'd installed Firefox, Dolphin and got Stock, it would give me the option if I hadn't yet set a default.
Since 3.2 when I click the link, the screen fades out, but the options aren't showing to select which means I can't launch the link/app.
The fix is to uninstall any relevant applications until I only have one app that can launch said link, then reinstall, and I get the option again.
Anyone had this or know how to fix without reinstalling everything?
Hope that made sense....very tired so it might not have done
I had the problem I hope u didn't set Firefox or dolphin as ur default browser what I did was erase all data now I have dolphin and the default drowser all working fine here

This issue has been discussed, but there are two simple ways to solve it without having to reinstall everything.
1) Simply wait and eventually it will fix itself. I know this sounds strange but it will eventually work. I am not generally patient so this one did not work for me.
2) With Autorotate ON, simply rotate the Xoom so that it has to redraw the "picker" screen. Do this when the screen dims and nothing is showing up. I have found that once you do this once for any particular file type you do not need to do it a second time.
I too was reinstalling apps to get the screen to show up, but even that did not always work.
I had the same problem and it seemed to only manifest itself after I re-installed all my apps from Tiamat/Xoom Zone with Titanium Backup. I'm not sure which app was the culprit but after uninstalling Scripter and aLogcat it started working perfect.
Hope this helps!
Same Issues !!
With opera Mobile and MoboPlayer !

Will certainly check these options out. Are you saying that in the first instance, when the screen dims.,...if I left it long enough, it would appear?
Has this been put to Google on their Bugs page,....as Bugs go...it's an annoying one
The Asus Transformer has the exact same problem. makes me think it could be more of a HC3.2 bug now after seeing this thread than device related.
Worse after you think you have fixed the problem every time you turn the device off and then on again on the problem begins again if you have multiple apps that can load a file or link like a web browser (I use multiple). If you have one app or set one app to be the default then you don't have the problem ....with that file or link
Easy to reset by rotating the screen ..but each time you turn on?
Question........
has anyone fixed this with a factory reset?
Factory reset will not fix this . Other browsers , media players and file managers somehow cause the problems .
Another oddness popped up with my NC tonight. Several widgets just up and vanished. Were showing as a box that said "Problem loading widget" I checked to make sure I had not loaded them to the SD card cause I know that will cause them to fail. I had not. So I uninstalled them and reinstalled them but the widgets still would not show in the add widget list.
I would really not like to have to start over with a factory reset/data wipe. I can if that is the only solution. Anyone have any thoughts on this? How to fix it? or is it just a time to start over thing? i do realize that since we are outside the default that oddness happens but things were running so smooth
Oh I have mine running CM7.2
Not normal to happen this for sure.
For start, check if the normal applications that had these widgets, if they are working fine.If yes, then you should just put the widgets again and make some tests by rebooting your NC.
If after the reboot still everything is there, than maybe there was some glitch and no reason to worry about.
Found it. Looks like while shuffling thru the settings I clicked install to SDcard as a default and so a couple got installed there. Switched it back to auto , reinstalled and all is well.

This happened to me this morning with Music(!) on CM9. I deleted the failed widget and created a new one, and all is fine. The new widget is different than the old one, so perhaps there's been an update I didn't notice....

I've been using my rooted nook simple touch glow for a week and have been pretty happy with it, but need to install either pocket or instapaper which are only on google play. I tried readability but it crashes on startup.
Anyone know if it's possible to install google play on the NTG running 1.1.5?
Is there any other manual way to install a google play app? I know how to install via adb, but no idea where to download the apk for an app I purchase.
If you install from this guide, at the end it shows how to enable the market / play:

Note that you cannot search the market from the rooted Nook for some reason. But there is an application that you can install to search the market. See here:

Thanks for this. I thought of uninstall and reinstalling google apps and unfortunately deleted youtube altogether both the apk and reinstalled software. So I did a soft un-root again and it seems now it worked (after I had done step 4 & 5 as per your message).
Now I have market app that works, search function does not work. I will probably installed vending apk or did step 4 and 5 againg ( I think I spent more time fixing Nook touch than actually using it).
Btw, anyone knows how to make the side options on the right to appear (where one can choose home or adw launcher). For some reason it has disappearred. How do I get back from nook home reading screen to adw launcher now??

I doubt that you'll get the marketplace search working, it is a known issue. Use the alternative search application mentioned in the article.

That is the magic buttons application it needs to be running to get the buttons. Note that when the application is running but the menu is collapsed, that it is _very_ difficult at first to find and open it. Look closely at the middle of the right edge of the screen. There should be a very faint icon there. If so, then try to press the side of the _plastic_case_ where it meets the screen by jamming your fnger right between them, as if you are trying to pry the plastic case off. That is how I hit that button!
Once you have found button savior and are back in the ADW launcher, be sure to give @jeff_kz's NookTouchMods a try. You will be able to remap one of your quicknav buttons or the 'n' long press to take you back to ADW launcher - much better than button savior!

Hey there, I just had to go through a big saga that involved taking my touchnooter rooted 1.1fw nook touch , wiping it, upgrading it to 1.2.1 and rerooting with Nook Manager. I've installed NoRefresh, and I can get it to launch, but something is interfering with it. As soon as it's activated, everything gets greyed out and there's a ton of ghosting. I've ifddled with Relaunch's fastmode and other display settings but still can't fix it. What do I need to do to get no refresh working the way it used to with touchnooter?
Thanks!
Hi,
I can confirm this problem. If anyone needs some specific data, please ask for it, because right now I have no idea where to start to debug this.

Superuser is likely the problem.
When you run it does a notification pop up onscreen stating "norefresh has been granted xxx"?
That popup changes the focus and deactivates norefresh.
Simply configure superuser not to display messages when app switches to root mode.
This worked for me when I had trouble running under 1.1.X.
Norefresh did not work as well on 1.2.Z last time I checked with fastmode being a better alternative.
You need a different toogle app on the newer firmware

Thanks Crispy! However, I do have the 1.2x toggle app, and the problem doesn't appear to be stolen focus on my device. I do get that popup, but not when I try to toggle NoRefresh. So disabling the popup isn't going to do the trick. Something else is changing the contrast in a weird way a split second after NoRefresh activates, and it's negating the speed gains on NoRefresh.
I'm getting by with fastmode, but dithering is making text hard to read. If it's possible, I really would like to get NoRefresh working, without having to downgrade to 1.1 firmware again (ie wiping my device). Thanks again!

Nope. Though the problem was... well, not resolved actually, but obliterated when nookcolortools wiped the system when I hit a wrong button. Back to firmware 1.0.
So I'm now on 1.1.2 and nookmanager rooted again (dealing with a different set of problems, this time regarding gapps :silly but f4th0m and others may still want advice.
1.1.2 or 1.2.1?
