I am looking for the new University of Phoenix Android App APK. For whatever reason, I cannot find it on the Android market using my Nook Color but I can find it with my GZone Commando. I am running Manual Nooter flashed to my 1.3.0 NC.
I know not all apps appear in the market. I have changed my LCD density to 160 as mentioned and still cannot download this app. If anyone has a link for the APK, I will gladly sideload the app.
Cheers!
Pulled from Titanium Backup from my G2. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll just pull the actual apk from data/apps/
It works. Thank you very much!!
Excellent, glad I could help.
When I can't find a specific app on market I just install it to my phone, then use file expert to back up the app and transfer it to the Nook, then uninstall from the phone.
Sounds more complicated than it really is.

I just installed CM7 nightly 164 using verygreens size agnostic walkthrough. I previously tried the very latest nightly and had this same issue: Everything installs fine, gapps setup runs fine, market is installed fine. Problem: some apps, such as Youtube and Facebook do not have an Install button to press in Market. I tried both picking them during google setup (fails) and not installing anything during google setup and then trying to install from market afterwards. I am able to install other apps, but these do not have the install button: youtube, facebook, google maps.. any ideas? I tried clearing the market cache and it didnt help, I can see the app page, but no install button.
Look around. Many many threads with lots of solutions.

I have this same problem, none of the solutions helped. I got the APK from another source in the end.
Thanks for the apk tip, I'm new to android and didn't know about that. Facebook installed now

which application do you need?
Some other user could give you the requested apk for you to download and install it without needing Market.

When I rooted my Nook Color a few months back, a few market downloads came then seemingly automatically, then since then no market, I can download nightlies but no apps. I've tried most of the responses in here to no avail.
So I've wondered if I could create a zip file containing several apps and try to install them. My purpose would be to load apps on the Nook Color that would allow me to load files on the SD card and install from there.
I would prefer to get the market working, but I'm missing something. I've done manual nooter, download most of the programs that claim to be the missing link, tried several varieties of gapps, and some other suggestions as well.
Same problem. No install button for a bunch of apps in Market even after trying the suggestions listed here.

Uninstalling the updated market let me find and download those by searching in the old market. I also used Titanium Backup to uninstall the market update app first.
PS: Some have reported issues with the updated YouTube app so be forwarned.

I uninstalled my current Market app and installed 2.3.6. Now my links are there but the Market always force closes when I try to install.
That is because the app is updating itself again.

There is a workaround:
1) Set your DPI to 160.
2) Make sure the market app is killed, and then clear data for "market" in application management.
3) ???
4) Receive bacon!
You will have to kill Market/wipe market data every so often.

I'm trying this myself (see youtube thread), and it doesn't seem to be working. Some apps will show, others don't show the download / update buttons. Market version 3.0.27 CM7 n168. Unfortunately I don't have any older versions of the market to play around with.
EDIT: Okay, I spaced this one out, forgot to reboot after editing build.prop. The full market seems to be working now, I can update youtube, etc.
Hi,
just got my NST today and successfully rooted it.
I am still waiting for the market ("server error"), so I cant install anything from there.
Is there any way to manually install APKs? There seems to be no file explorer coming with TouchNooter. Also, is there a way to manually download APKs from the market?
(Since I am not located in the US, the Amazon Market is not an option.)
Thanks!

Do you have Super Manager installed? If so, it does provide a file manager, as well as APK management features. Unfortunately, in my experience using TouchNooter, Super Manager has not worked on the initial install.
I've found it just as easy to use another Android device to back up apps using Android Assistant, then copy them to SD or Dropbox to transfer them to my NST for installation. The advantage of Android Assistant is that it creates APKs that can be installed on another device without any other software.
I didn't think to try it last time I rooted, but what happens if you go to the Android Market/Play web page and tell it to install an app to the NST during that first 24 hours?
The problem is solved now for me, since the market started working. Still, it would make sense to include a file manager for other TouchNooter users.

Yes, but how do I even select an APK without a file manager?

During the market wait period your device won't even show up as a device on the Play website, so it does not help.
Once the wait time was over it did show up and then I could use this way to install SearchMarket, which then allowed me to install other apps directly from the NST.
I agree, it would be nice to have a file manager included in Touchnooter. Or even a simple little apk installer. I happily made several apks from my phone and transferred them to the Nook before I realised I had no way to actually install them.
In fact, if you're really concentrating when you read the Touchnooter instructions:
"You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device."
Oh well, the 24 hours pass
If you're stuck unable to search in Market/Play Store, keep in mind that once the 24 hour period has passed, you can pull up any apps you've paid for via My Apps. You can download those without searching. That's how I worked around the lack of a file manager for the 1st few hours.
I rooted my nook today and no matter what I try, using Opera Mini, I cannot get any google apps to install. I also cant figure out how to add a device to google apps. Since the Market app never works for anyone this seems to be the only way to install anything but there are no forums mentioning how to install it. I would appreciate some assistance. Thanks.
no one here knows the answer to this? i'm shocked no replies yet.
download gapps.zip and flash it.

Guyman2,
Depending on the rooting method you used, there is way to install gapps, which includes market (google play - they are compatible in use, nothing being left). Check it on the proper post here in the development forum!

To more succinctly state the problem:
How can you get APKs out of Google Play without loading your personal device with a load of junk from Google?
I've got Google Maps on my Nook right now and every time I turn my back it's trying to do something (when not running).
Renate,
Gotta live with that. That's the price of having market (gmail always on the background, etc), but it helps the system runs a little bit better (apps upgrade!).
Guyman,
Look on the thread related to touchnooter, and probably there will be an option to add gapps to your system. Usually the 1st post show you all the options.
Have the same problem - is there a way to install market only?
What I'm going to do is install on my phone, extract it from the phone, then load onto the Nook and delete what's left over! Madness, I know.
A nicer way for me would be to install into a virtual machine and do that. Anyone know if that's possible? Possibly even with Android-x86??
I don't like market in this sense. It's a problem with all Android devices as far as I can see. Market is a bit of a problem in this regard.
I'm not sure about the problem here, but, I can confirm that, I rooted my NST with Touchnooter and market is working fine, I downloaded several apps from market and, I also installed some apps trough Google Play Store from my PC directly to the NST.
For me Market search didn't work after following MinimalTouch so I had to use the SearchMarket app from Appbrain. After this now I can search and install anything but still can't click the notifcations, OperaMini crashes back to the ADW desktop, same for Browser too after clicking a link in Google.
edit:
for Renate re: Maps out of control. Yes, I noticed too that it comes out of the background and wastes battery. 2 ideas: 1) Freeze it when not in use. You can use a Widget from Titanium or AppQuarantine for quicker launch 2) use something 3rd party
I also suggest using a different account for the Nook to any other Android devices you have to keep things separate and clear since the NST is not recognised by Play.
For a bare-bones root with an appstore, tinynoot ought to work.
I cobbled it together for the glowlight but all the parts are from the established NST environment - clockwork, su, busybox, adw, button savior, nook touch and nook color tools.
I include the Amazon appstore, which of course is also an app that likes to be always on, but none of the gapps because the framework for the glowlight stuff hasn't been looked at yet.
The install scripts are based on minimal nooter, which is CWR based file and directory creation.
I didn't include a modded uRamdisk because I find that adb wireless is enough on its own to let me use wifi adb (dont' recall if I've used usb ADB but I suspect it would work, in assocation with nook color tools) - I can shell in via ADB and just need to type su to get superuser.

You could format and use one of my minimal zips instead of the full ones, they had only the neccesary apps and libs for Gmail (manual sync) and "Market" to work correctly, nothing more, nothing less, no maps, etc.
Now everything is a bit outdated, as I said, I'll work on this again and update the zips etc.
I have a nook simple touch, with I rooted with Nooter from nookdevs.
I have two issues: First, when I try to download Dropbox from the Amazon app store, I get an error saying it could not parse the package. Is there either a fix for this, a way to get Android Marketplace to work, or another way to side load the Kindle app besides Dropbox?
Also, I can't figure out what button to use to get back to the main app screen-if I get to anywhere without a back button...I have to reboot. Just me being a noob, but I honestly spent almost an hour trying to figure this out.
Anyone help a noob out?
Thanks in advance.
Can you post a link to the guide you followed? My memory is that the nookdevs rooting guide gets you as far as booting from noogie which lets you manually place files into /system and /data, but if you have the appstore installed, it sounds like you've gotten a little past that.
You want to have nook color tools, IIRC, or similar installed, so that you can enable the installation of "unsigned apps," that ought to let your apps from the appstore finish installing. For that change to take, you'll need the su binary installed and a few other things.
Touchnooter lets you have the android market on a nook touch; glownooter does so on a glowworm, and there are guides here to nooter that uses clockwork to root an NST with the touchnooter-style of root.
If you just need / want the amazon market running, you can use tinynoot - for Android market to work, more of the OS needs to be changed than for the Amazon appstore, but IIRC you do still need to enable unsigned apps.
Android market spontaneously started working, but I would still like the ability to sideload apps. I can't post links-I am new here-It appears to be called TouchNooter.
Hello there,
I have rooted my nook simple touch using the guide found bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35267728#post35267728
It worked out after a while of struggling, but now I am wondering how am I able to install 3rd party android apps on it? I have downloaded a test .apk application on the nook toc heck either it is working. It comes out that it doesnt, but maybe its because i went browsing for it using the library app, as I havent found any other file browser on the system. I amrunning the latest 1.2.1 version.
I Would really aprichiate some help in this matter, I tried googling out but i havent found anything specific to help me solve the problem, there were some solutions to the newer models that dont apply for me.
@bremenpl,
Arguably, the best file explorer available for the Nook Touch is ES File Explorer 3 (free on Google Play). It's what I use.
To enable 3rd-party app installation, install NookColor Tools, open the app, and check the box for "Allow Non-Market Apps".
The problem is I dont have any file browser at all and I cant install any .apk on my nook. NookColor Tools is also an .apk and I cannot open this kind of file in library browser. How to overcome that? I dont have google apps installed as I didnt want to install google play, gmail and etc. I tried loging into amazon appstore that is installed, but it doesnt accept my login nad password.

Ah, I see your point. Thankfully, this can be remedied if you have either ADB set up, the app Terminal Emulator, or both. What do you have?
I have none of it. Whats more straight forward to do?

I'd say Terminal Emulator, but that's yet another app that you need non-market permission to install.
ADB it is, then. PM me for extensive installation instructions.
