So i have been trying to get the NOOK app to run on my NC that is rooted stock 1.2 and I'm failing miserably. When i try to download and install from the market, i receive and error that says "Duplicate provider authority". I then tried to side-load the older version in the Themes and Apps section here on xda, and after setting permissions, when i select the app in my app drawer, it just takes me to the home screen.
Any suggestions???
Erm, why do you want to use the generic Nook app if you're using rooted stock, instead of the Nook app (which imo is soooo much better anyway) that comes with rooted stock?
Because I have an original Nook that I use and I'd like for them to be synced up (if possible).
Strange, I wasn't aware that it was app specific. I had the nook app on my SD install when I was dual booting, and my book list was the same for both native and CM7 clients --- though if I bought a book on one the other would have a download link to it when I next opened it.
You cannot have the stock app and the Android app on the same device unless you are booting another o/s such as CM7 from an SD card. That is why you are getting the duplicate error.

Makes sense. Is it as simple as removing the stock app? If so, do you happen to know the apk name?
If you don't mind, can you explain the sync issue with the Nook + Nook Color? I'm not understanding why there's a problem with syncing with the *native* nook app versus the android market one with the native one on your Nook...
(Hope that makes sense)

Frankly, I am at a loss as to why you would want to remove the stock apk from the stock ROM. Most people root the stock ROM specifically because they want to retain the stock reader app, which has more features than the Android app.
I am also not sure it is that simple because a rooted stock ROM still shows up to B&N as a registered Nook Color, not an Android device.

He has both of them running under the same o/s (stock) on the same device and B&N sees that as a conflict.

I know that. I don't understand why he isn't just using the native reader app instead of trying to install the nook app when running stock. I don't have a Nook (non color) so I'm trying to find out what sync issue he has with books if you have a Nook and a Nook Color on the same account (book list).

For whatever reason, the stock app on my NC is not syncing with my original Nook even though they are under the same account. I thought the Nook app from the market would potentially solve that, but maybe there's some other underlying issue with the stock app on the NC.

If we install a new ROM such as CM7 or MIUI, do we lose the ability to read magazines or have them pushed to us like the standard KF ROM?

Not that I know of. I had a subscription to PC Magazine and Maximum PC, both came through properly after installing CM7.

Get Nook Color App Manager from the market. It integrates the sideloaded apps into the stock home launcher.

Then you are at square one. You made it sound like you just wanted to make the apps that you have already installed to show.
Start here and root. You can do nothing without root:

Install cm7. And even then it is a kind of a crippled bluetooth. The Nook Color does not have a bluetooth antenna since B&N never intended for bluetooth to be used. It only has a range of less than one foot at best.

I know you are a newbie, but this is basic nook color 101. Have you read anything here on XDA? I will give you two more links and I suggest you read, read, read.

I am using a Honeycomb Image from here for my Nook Color and can't find a way to get the Play Store as it didn't come with it and there is no file manager to install from the sdcard. Has anyone else used this or know of a better one for the Nook Color that will allow me access to the Play Store as I am wanting to install Unity Remote so I can use the device with Unity 3D. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you email it you should be able to run it from the email attachment / download menu. But I would say try some of the jellybean builds. They're much more complete and they run much smoother, the HC builds were built from the sdk and never got to a point of great stability.

Play Store gets installed as part of a gapps package, not as a stand alone app. Try one of the gapps-hdpi or gb or ics versions at goo.im. Flash that with your CWM.

Thanks for helping. I was trying the Honeycomb build since I was able to run it from the sd card but I also tried the one from CyanogenMod which has 2.3.5 that is listed as the last stable version for Nook Color and that anything later isn't stable from their mods. Is there a jellybean build you recommend that is stable? And how do I install the gapps as I couldn't find any documentation on the goo site. Also I was unable to add my e-mail with CyanogenMod 7.2 as it wasn't able to communicate with the server and I was connected to Wifi.

You really should get rid of that honeycomb. It is way put of date and was never very good. Go to my NC updated SD installation thread linked in my signature. Everything you need is there. I recommend the latest CM10 nightly linked there. It is a nightly, but very stable (certainly more stable than that honeycomb). And the link for the gapps that matches is linked on my thread too.

Hello - I rooted and installed CM on my nook. I tried to download the Nook App from the Playstore, it says the app isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas?

Easiest way I found was going here - http://mobile.brothersoft.com/nook-79949.html - to download the latest apk, and sideloading it on the Nook. You may find that some magazines will no longer work in the Nook app though, nothing you can do about that (I had to use Google Play Magazines instead).

No, look in verygreen's threads, he has said it is B&N blacklisting the nook app for ovation and hummingbird devices. So you can change your build.prop file or sideload it.

Its not an incompatibility issue, Edit your build.prop its easy to do, there is a description on here (XDA) somewhere if you search for it, on how to do it.
Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!
Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.
