I used the Kindle Fire Utility to install Android Marketplace.
Works like a charm - thanks.
I entered the wrong Google account e-mail when I signed into the Google marketplace for the first time.
There don;t seem to be a way to add a second account or delete the one I logged in. I don;t see a way to log out?
Any way to install multiple accounts? Log out of the account I am in so I can log into another account?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try deleting accounts.db from " /data/system/"?
I cannot even find that.
I browsed the drive - even did a search and no .db files
Thanks
Do you have adb setup?
if so, do
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/system/accounts.db
If not, you will need something like Root explorer. ES File explorer (free on the market) could likely do it to, but takes a bit more setup to put it in root mode.
Note: Not sure what you mean by searched the drive. The file is not on your SD card.
Kind of a noob still, but I got you now.
I took another route, Restored to default.
RE-rooted - reinstalled marketplace.
Used right email.
Working.
But are we stuck with only one account on Kindle? Do I have to do what I did to use another account or use the account.db Erase method?
If so that quite sucks.
No you can add more accounts. But I am not on a stock based rom, so I can not provide specific details. I know you will need to open "Account & Sync" settings. There is not a shortcut to do it on a stock based rom.
I know you can download a app from the market to help you do this, Quick Sync Settings, I think?
I will check it out then, thanks!
DUDE!!! totally worked. I was able to ad more account then when I go to the account setting in market place it allows me to pick which one I want.
YOU ROCK!!!
Awesome. Glad I could help.

Has anyone been able to restore Google Calendar sync to their Kindle post 6.2.1 update?
I managed to get Market working again via the GoogleServicesFramework.apk that someone posted previously... But it does not seem to restore Calendars.
Calendars are synced with GoogleCalendarSyncAdaptor.pak. Not sure you can do anything with it without root though. It is normally installed into /system/apps
I just took the easy route and paid $6 for CalenGoo in the appstore. It syncs calendars just fine.
I have not checked to see what happened to my other sync'ed items other than email. Don't know for sure whether contacts and pictures quit syncing.
Sorry guys but Im *bump*ing this -
Finally got rooted via burrito root, superuser running, reinstalled googleservices framework.
Attempting to install "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" again and get "Application Not Installed".
Any input? Come on guys this should be pretty elementary right?
UPDATE : Re-Downloaded GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk which seems to have become corrupt. All is working!!
I was able to re-copy the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk back to /system/app once re-rooted using BurritoRoot, and calendar syncing is working fine. But I can't "install" it - when trying, it says it wasn't installed.
Even though it seems that we don't NEED to install it, I think I would LIKE to install it, because that's what I think makes it survive firmware updates (I installed the market apk after putting it in /system/app, and even though the copy in /system/app is long gone, the market has kept working for me through two updates).
If you did indeed install it after putting it in /system/app, can you post a link to where you got it?
You don't install it. You just place it in /system/app, set the permissions correctly, and then reboot your device.
Unlike the market, which you DO install, you don't install the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. It will not survive an OTA update if the next one does the same thing the others have done which is to wipe /system and rebuild it.
That was what I assumed, but when someone reported that their calendar was still syncing after the 6.2.1 update I started wondering if there was some process we could follow so as not to lose it. Not a huge deal but it would save time and effort -- for me that was the only thing so far that I wanted to re-root for after 6.2.1.

I've read this in several places, so the fact that it's not working for me is frustrating. I've searched for instructions on how to sync Google calendar with CalenGoo but everyone says it 'just works.' Can anyone explain the process of getting CalenGoo to sync with Google calendar on a Kindle Fire? There seems to be nowhere to add my calendar within the app, so I'm really confused and feeling like I wasted $6.
FYI: I have full root access and placed the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk file in my system/app folder (and rebooted).
When I am trying to install third party APKs on the second user account that I've created on my Nexus 7 Wifi, it just says - 'App not installed'. I was able to install the same APK on the primary account without any issues.

I have exact same problem on my Nexus 10.
I think the only work around for this is side loading through your PC.
Before you try to sideload it, ensure that on the second user account that "Enable 3rd party apps" is checked under settings.
As far as I'm aware if you side load it, both users accounts will get the app.

Thanks, but err... could you point me in direction what sideloading is and how to do it?
To sideload an app, copy the .apk file to your device. The /sdcard/download folder would be a good place to store it. Go to the download folder and touch the .apk file you want to install and choose 'Install'. As mentioned, first, make sure you turn on 'Unknown sources' for the additional user in Settings > Security.
Well that's exactly what I'm trying to do. It works OK for main account, but on the second account it says that installation failed. It's the same if I install it on the first account before or when it's first installation of this apk on the device.
For me it says, "blocked by your it admin"... I guess that's me!
I have a NST with firmware 1.21 that was rooted with NookManager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351) and further updated with NTGappsAttack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086582). Whenever WiFi is on, it automatically syncs to my Gmail account. I cannot figure out how to turn the syncing off. I only want to use the NST to read B&N and Kindle books.
As a newbie on this site, I am not allowed to post this question in the above threads.
Go into GMail and add an account using your same GMail address. Instead of adding it a second time it will open up the account and sync settings where you can turn off GMail, Calendar and Contacts sync.

Solution worked perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing your NTGAppsAttack and the instructions for installing it. The only place where I had difficulty was with instruction 4-Unzip the NTGAppsAttack zip file into the the root of your NookManager microSD card. I didn't realize it had to replace the "custom" folder already on the card. Once I renamed the original "custom" folder and installed the NTGAppsAttack "custom" folder, the installation went flawlessly.
I would love to get the NY Times app to work. It downloads and installs OK, but it crashes as soon as I open it.
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.
Hi All
I've successfully rooted a nook simple touch with touchnooter-2-1-31 and enabled the playstore with NTGAppsAttack-0.5.0.
However when entering my gmail details i get a message that it can't establish a reliable data connection to the server despite being on wifi.
Its took weeks to get to this point that i dont wont to give up on it just yet. Is there anything else i can do to get this working? I want to download kindle app.

No, no, and no. No GApps or Playstore access. If you want the Kindle app search the forum for the modified one and side load it. You'll also need to update cacerts.bks in order to sign in.

I have tried looking in the forum but there doesn't seem to be a dedicated downloads area, installs and files it seems are attached to posts like this one. So i'm reading through post after post to see if someone as added anything in . Its very time consuming ,confusing and there's rarely confirmation in the posts that the attachments work.
Is this the one i need??

That is the correct Kindle app. There are a few updated cacerts.bks files now. Here is a link to one with instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/nst-g-revisiting-cacerts-bks-t3872617
Oh, and you need to check your email when you are trying to sign in. Amazon requires a two-step authorization for this old app. They will send you a one-time password to use. It will look like the login has failed, but just check your email.

ok i've installed kindle app using apk and copied a cacerts.bks file from the link you provided into files/system/etc/security
both /etc/security didn't exists so i created them, is this correct? The kindle app is asking me to 'register to get started'
If try and log on in this window i get 'no internet connection' error. There's links below for 'forgot password', amazon.com.jp customer?' and 'don't have an amazon account'.

No. Those directories must exist on the device, so either the ancient rooting method you used did not work properly or else you are using some kind of file manager that does not show everything. Some of the old rooting methods may fail with FW 1.2.2 (which is what I assume you are using).

Yes, did you see the last bit I added to my previous post? When you try to login with your Amazon account you get an error and Amazon almost immediately sends you an email with a one-time password to enable the old Kindle app to login. BUT, without the updated cacerts.bks file functioning, any login attempt--even with the one-time password--will fail.
You said "file/system/etc/security". What is "file" doing in there? The folder you want is at root so the address is just /system/etc/security. Unless you meant something else.
Okay i can see the security folder now by following post 3 by Overbytes here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/view-root-files-nst-t2817036
"If you're using ReLaunch that was installed with NookManager, to change the launchers behavior from the home screen click on the gear in the upper right corner, this enters you into the settings menu, click on advanced settings, general settings, make sure that the don't leave start directory item is unchecked, go back and under file manager settings check show hidden files and uncheck hide known extensions. Back out again and in the main advanced settings menu scroll down and click on the save settings and restart item. You should be able to view anything on internal and external storage."
However when try to copy the i simply get an error message 'unable to copy/move cacerts.bks
Maybe the device isn't rooted????

I'm not sure Relaunch can do what you need. You can "see", yes, but that doesn't mean you can change. To do that, /system has to be mounted as R/W and I don't know if Relaunch can do that. Back in the day I used an app called Root Browser. Now I just use ES File Explorer as a general file manager. It can be set for root access and also can mount /system so you can make changes. I've attached a copy below.

If you are asking about the NST, Google abandoned Android 2.1 back in 2017. No market access. You'll have to search online for what you want and side-load it.
