So I rooted my NST with the SalsichaNooter4 Method. I have installed plenty of apps by now, including the Kindle, Kobo, and Google Books apps but whenever I try to install the Nook app a message pops up saying "Installation Unsuccessful"
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening? And does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Has anyone had this type of trouble?
It might be conflicting with the stock B&N software?
The nook app has never been able to install on any device, this is due to the changes in the system to run the stock software and prevents their app from running on it for some reason.
Huh?

Thanks, but that didn't make any sense? Could you explain?
The Nook app is made for regular Android devices, it will not run on the NST because of all the customizations that B&N did to it.
Thanks for explaining!

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.
So, I installed cm7 on an sd card, and it works fine. However, when I go to the market there are some apps that aren't showing. I used the latest nightly build of encore, and I'm curious if I should downgrade to the latest stable version to view all the apps. It was my understanding that by using Encore 7.1 or higher, all apps would be visible and I wouldn't have to change the build.properties file. Any help would be appreciated!!!
Hmmm, Market incompatibility was huge but has been resolved for long time ago, I'm surprise that it is resurfacing again.
Anyway, what is the version of your ROM, what is the version of the Market?
Market is...
Market version is 3.4.4 and not sure how to get the version for the rom, this is the one that i used cm_encore_full-253.zip. Thanks for the help, the nook itself is rooted as well, using autonooter, but I did that a while ago. Not sure what version of android it's using.
What apps are missing? Just a few, a specific one or two, or most?
Some apps (e.g. Blockbuster, Google Currents) don't show up at all on my rooted NC or NT, but show on my phone. This is deliberate on their part, and I believe would require a lot of build.prop finagling to overcome.
Other Market problems in the past have been related to screen density, and various workarounds (clearing market app cache, etc.) were required. Those problems should largely be resolved with CM 7.1 n253.
Missing apps
Sadly, the one that my kids want more then anything is Smurfs Village, but it won't show up. Is there anyway to upgrade my rooted nook (using autonooter) without wiping everything? If I can do that, I won't even use CM7. I'd like to, but how hard is it to go from Froyo on a rooted nook to CM7 internal?

You might try some of the build.prop tweaks that are floating around. I'm new to them myself, but they seem to be key when you have certain "hidden" apps like this that only show up on certain devices.

Running CM7, either on SD or internal emmc is not hard, but it can be confusing. Just make sure you've determined what exactly it is you want to do.

It is not hard at all. Just make a titanium backup and then flash CM7 using the guide in my sig.
If you want to update stock then I am pretty sure you need to wipe everything to update. Again make a titanium backup and then restore it after the upgrade and you will be fine.

I just realized I've had a memory lapse. If you've got the app working on another device, try downloading Android Assistant (AA) and making a backup. Then copy the apk that AA makes over to your Nook and try installing it.
I just did this to copy Google Currents to my rooted B&N 1.4.1 install that didn't show it in the Market.

I sent Google Currents from my Xoom to my girl's NC by Bluetooth. Worked great.

Her rooted NC running cm7.2.
I been looking around and i found some threads but I just wanted to make this clear.
If your on Stock 1.4.1 you can't side load apps at all unless you root your nook?
And to root it you need to downgrade then upgrade and loose all your data right?
My friend has a 1.4.1 nook and I was going to side load a apk to get on our wireless and it won't work AND the app isn't in the nook market.
Its Called XpressConnect
I tried using the different scripts and I couldn't get ADB to recognize the Nook Tablet and whenever I see anything about nook and ADB I go right back into the rooting stuff and rooting unfortunately is not a option.
Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything
Thanks in advance
We know that B&N v1.4.1 blocked the sideloading feature. I don't know that even with rooted v1.4.1, it works or not. Someone will please verify this as I want to know too.
I don't believe rooting will remove/delete any of your data.
Side question: are you talking about Nook Tablet or Nook Color?
You're trying to sideload apps without rooting, correct? Are you using a Nook COLOR or a Nook TABLET?
On the Tablet, 1.4.0 still allowed sideloading, while 1.4.1 blocked it.
On the Color, I was not able to get the required settings to sideload without root on 1.4.1. I am not 100% sure if it can be done or not.

Sideloading works just fine on a rooted Nook Color running 1.4.1
Nook Tablet
And which root method can I use that will not loose any data? If I root does it block any of the Nook services? Will they know? I don't want to screw my friend over on her "Nook" Experience lol I just want to load this one apk so she can get on the companys wifi
Thanks magicland for the confirmation on rooted NC v1.4.1.
Capcom,
I don't have the NT so I can't help. Other members might help you, if not, you should go to NOOK Tablet forum to get more answer/help since this is the NOOKcolor room.
I am side-loading a Nook Tablet running 1.4.1
...I delete this post as it was meant for the Nook Tablet - not colour....
If you want to see it look for "I am side-loading a Nook Tablet running 1.4.1" in the tablet forum
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.

Just hit thanks if I helped.
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.
