[Q] Marketplace Bug

Is there any fix for that? There's so many builds out there with it. It lets you donwload it but not install it
Only one I didn't have it with was mdejay android builds. Is there anyway of fixing this cause all my favorite games wont install.
And yes I tried mount unmount

try this
try unmounting your SD Card then installing it.

Tried that too
On my HTC HD2 using tapatalk

so is it downloading and never installing or is it downloading and failing?

Downloads and fails to install. It happens on a few 2.2.1 stock builds and miui

You got me then, Most of the time I run into that issue I just download it a second time, which with the bigger files is a pain, and it works if i unmount the SD card.
I have been trying to get the christmas edition of angry birds and it doesnt even start for me. anything else works though for some reason!

If they're downloading but not installing, then have a look at this post...

If the files are there then at least you can manually install. It's obviously not a fix, but better than not being able to install anything!
Why not just go back to an MDJ build? I'm about to go back to one of his myself, now that I've heard he's got the camera working on a Desire HD build

Not a fan of sense builds. And theres certain bits and pieces of MIUI functionality that i cant live without and i tried the 4.0 Desire HD build and it drained my battery in under 5 hours
I know that the apks are there but it wont let me install them. After a while it says installation failed.
---------------------------------------
Either way changed to a MIUI Start Build yesterday and that supports external storage mode. It does have the bug too but at least it works when you unmount card. Only got 300 MB left now :S

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.

Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22

i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....

When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.

Nook Color rooted to CM7 - Issue with Android Market auto downloading the B&N Market

Nook Color rooted to CM7 - Issue with Android Market auto downloading the B&N Market
So, I followed the steps below to root my Nook Color over to CM7. I'll get to the actual problem in the section below:
1. Wrote 3.2.0.1 version of CWR to a 2gb SD.
2. Moved 150 nightly zip and gapps 20110613 zip over to SD.
3. Booted into CWR, went to Mounts & Storage, formatted /data, formatted /system, formatted /cache. Rebooted back to CWR.
4. Formatted dalvik cache. Rebooted back to CWR.
5. Installed 150 nightly build from zip, then installed gapps from zip.
6. Rebooted with SD card pulled, got the loading screen and CM7 loads fine.
7. Get to the Google account setup, skipped.
8. Enabled Wi-Fi, went to Android Market and it asked me to login my google account.
So this is where the problem occurs. The Android Market app (once I'm logged in) is the neutered B&N Market. When I look up certain apps, they don't show a download link (because it's as if the device knows it's not supposed to access Facebook, Foursquare, Words with Friends, etc.
So, I go to applications -> downloaded and I see Market in the list. I go to the details, and select "Uinstall update". Once that happens, I'm able to launch market and it takes me to the real Android Market (green background) But as soon as I download a few apps, when I close the market, and reopen, I get the B&N market again. And if I got to Applications -> Downloaded, the Market update is there again and I have to manually uninstall the update again.
What's even more strange, is that my buddy as has a Nook Color, and he followed the same steps but he doesn't get this issue. His android market has been the real one from the moment he first booted up. He does also have an android handset though, so I'm wondering what the deal is with my NC.
TLDR: my rooted Nook Color constantly force updates my Android Market to the B&N Android Market which looks and acts completely different. I can uninstall the update, but it immediately redownloads and installs itself again.

Quick edit: The market I'm referring to as B&N market may not actually be the B&N version of Android Market. The version of "Market" after the update is 3.0.27. The version I have before the update hits automatically is 2.3.6.
The problem is, 2.3.6 lets me see and install all apps from Market. Whereas the 3.0 version doesn't let me download and install things like FB, Foursquare, Angry Birds, Words with Friends, etc. In some cases, I don't even find them in the search results.

That is the "new" market that all the other posters on that subject are complaining about. Your problem is not unique (it's not even unique to the Nook, some other CM7 installs for other devices do the same things ours does).
The folks that keep on getting autoupdated to the new market have found some workarounds. Check the other posts (there are about three other threads active on our forum alone right now).
I currently am running the old market with no modifications. I tried the new market and found it deficient. I just hope that we can continue to uninstall updates and keep using the old market.
Fingers crossed

I too am having this issue, though it could be just because I'm trying to run it on the TF300, which just came out recently.

Same here. But since RonDelgen said he got the same error on the tf300 i doubt it's a incompatilibity error with ARHD. Maybe someone with stock ICS could try to install it?

I have been playing Galaxy on Fire 2 for the last two days on my TF101. Stock, unrooted, .21. Only had one force close then after that stability. The latest update has fixed(for me) alot of the issues I have been having like force closes, bad game play and pixelated graphics. Because it is such a large file when I downloaded it I made sure I killed any unnecessary apps and had a stable network connection. Good luck. It is a great game.
After checking Fishlabs website this is a known issue which will be fixed soon. Sorry!

I think I found the issue
It's due to My tablet been rooted as the developers have a exploit of a sort in their app thus the game will not be playable on some rooted tablets, etc but as I workaround is downloaded them SD Files from the external sources and Voila! The game works!

Nothing to do with being rooted. I have an unrooted Transformer Prime and I am getting the file read error.

Downloaded GOF 2
This morning I rolled back ICS .21 to ICS .17(US) and was able to download the game. Don't know if Fishlabs fixed the problem or if there is a compatibility issue with the latest firmware. Just thought I would pass this on.

I had been getting the file read error on ARHD with test 17c kernel up until yesterday. Yesterday it suddenly decided to download fine and has been working great ever since.seems that they may have fixed the problem.

If you have a microsd in..try taking it out..or make sure its formatted to fat32 (not microsoft's default). I had the same problem, formatted it in linux as fat32 (was exfat) and downloading worked.

[Q] NST rooted flicks in old menu of BN after touchnooter

Hello i should have read the forum before apllying the root process but i pick in one site and only find the forum when the problems began.
I use the Touchnooter2-1-31 thanks for doing it but i use my 32G card so after 30 min no restart i took the sd out and try to power off and the screen became freeze in the same point even after pressing the N button and power 30 seg. power off then on without the card.
By the way i don't have a backup of my default only take out the content of SD card and nook, site not tell me to do it so no return to factory default.
Then i use other card 8G, N2T recovery 0.2 and gain control of NST again and apply with this card the Touchnooter2-1-31 again, since not all programs were in and i could install it .
After 12h i have Gmail and opera mobile but i can't use android market or access to stores of app so i am putting some apps that i can install by email or with .apk
And i copy again the content of .docThumbs and Digital Editions on Nook and on SD and also use the ADE to put the books again in to read but no chance on reeding thems with old BARNES & NOBLE menu
Now for read i have the ezPDF reader.but i don't like it.Aldiko give me error not even install so
I would like to now if i can use the old BARNES & NOBLE menu since i hit N key and home flicks the old BARNES & NOBLE menu and dissapear library put my sreen flashing with the image frozen and his negative image and only with power and N key 30seg i can turn it again but in this process the screen freeze on shop don't open and in nook settings- Social i can change notting flicks but nothing happens?
Is possible to get BARNES & NOBLE menu working again?
Thanks

My question on reading your post is - which version of the NST OS are you starting from?
Something is unhappy, but hard to say what. I would probably reset to stock again, take note of which Nook OS version you are running, and see if one of the other manual nooters works with it.
You make a disk much like the touchnoter disk, but instead of the process running completely automatically, you boot into clockwork recovery mode and choose which zip files to flash.
I threw one together called Tinynoot that gives you root + amazon but no google apps.
There looks like a better implementation called NookManager. Like mine tinynoot it is intended to support a wide range of devices, but it also doesn't install the Google market.
Google apps is a moving target, so you have to be sure the version of the rooting tool you use works with the specific OS installed on your Nook. In order to make Google apps work, core files called framework files are patched. Touchnooter, salsichanooter and I'm blanking on Eded's tool's name are all targeted to getting google stuff working, as well as the basics of getting you root access.
I am guessing that the problem you describe relates to a mismatch between the framework in the touchnooter and the rest of your OS.

Hello my NTS software version was 1.2.* i don't remember this last number but i try when i buy it 2 days ago to install from BN and nothing happens so was in last version, now nook OS how can i see it? Now the software version is undentified by the way yesterday i follow this movie but in the begining the page don't tell me Rooted forever tell me the instructions instead in both times, only in second attempt i get the screen like in movie at min 1:45 Nook Touch Rooting Tutorial - Super Easy Method user TheeBookReader on youtube i can add links
Google play today is working yesterday i install a cracked version but when i pick the apps tell me that the installation will be transfered sooner to my equipment but they don't happear
android market no search so i add searchmarket
When you tell me to reset to stock again is using N2T?
Thanks
Edited to add: i finally do a factory reset and now updating to latest version i will kept my nook as is since here we don't have so many hotspots free to surf on internet, thanks for all the help and info that i receive in this forum
