iDisplay

Hey guys,
iDispay was just released for android. It's an app that lets you use your phone/tablet as a monitor for your pc/mac. I immediately went to install this on my rooted nook color running honeycomb but it says "this item is not compatible with your device." So, I'm wondering if you guys can install it on your xoom's. You should be able to tell just by visiting the android market page. You won't have to buy it tell. If you can't install it, your device will be greyed out. Also, it wouldn't show up in the market on your xoom. I'm wondering because there's a high probability that this is just a problem with the nook(it's not even supposed to have the market), but it might not be. I figured the xoom is the product the most similar to a nook running HC right(obviously the nook doesn't quite compare but still). Thanks for your help.

Its in the market but when I click buy it says error from server.

[Q] other MARKETS on CM7.2 or CM9

Can I get different market apps like the original nook market he adroid market and other markets on my CM 7.2 or my CM9 ?!
besides the regular android market? where can I get apps and games from!?
Thanks!!

You can get Amazon or Getjar as alternative appstores but you cannot use BN's own AppStore on a CM install.

Why will the android market work, but not the b&n store... is it harder to hack? Different system? Incompatible?

B&N store is proprietary store: it will only work for NCs with the stock (B&N-specific) ROM installed. Once you install any CM, you're no longer using B&N OS, and cannot access the B&N store (unless you Dual boot, in which case you can access B&N store when you're booted into whatever partitions contain the B&N OS).
If you're already on CM, why would you want to keep using the B&N store anyway? It's severely limited, some apps are priced more, and the Android Market has so much more variety.

I doubt you want the BN store for its apps since it was mentioned that they are more expensive and limited. If you want it for the book buying, just download the nook app from the market and at the top you access the BN store.

I have a question about my SGT p1000 running CM 9
I recently got the CM 9 on my p1000 and it is unbelievably amazing! I figured out how to get the original google apps package and flash it onto the device, but I have a question about the apps. On the Play Store(both the app and through the browser, even though it gives me a list of apps that i have installed on my p1000, I obviously do not have those apps on the device as I wiped all user data post the flash. So my question is how do I make the Play Store realize that I do not have those apps it shows as "My Android Apps" on my device and I need to re-download and re-install them? Thank You.

How do you get ICS only Apps on the Fire?

If I put ICS on my Kindle, how do I get 4.0 specific apps on there? Right now I use my android phone that runs 2.3 to access the play store, then I backup and install on the fire.
I dont think my ZTE99 phone can run ICS but if it can, will Google Play recognize this and allow me to download ICS apps?

what apps are u referring to?

If you put ICS on your Kindle, you'd need to flash the Google Apps which will give you the Play Store. So you wouldn't have to deal with the backing up mess.
Google won't let you download apps designed for ICS on older OS versions. Nor will it let you install them.

All the apps in the play store that say "Not available for your device" My cell phone runs 2.3. A lot of these gingerbread apps wont work on ICS. Source: user reviews for just about every gingerbread app.

Yeah I know. I thought there was a work-around or some sort of app repository that no one discusses in the open.

Why use some shady repository when you can get it from the play store?

I use this sometimes. Not sure if it is considered shady or not. Only found out about it in order to get google maps onto my stock fire.

Are you saying I can download any app from Play once I get ICS installed on my device?
Maybe ill give apktops another shot if thats my only option.

If you install CM9, then you can just download anything from the Play store as your device will be treated just like a standard Android tablet.

I know im a bit late for the party, but i use this site ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps) to install the playstore. It has a list of the different cyanogenmods and which gapps is best for it. Just download, then install with twrp. Reboot and download whatever you want from the playstore. Some apps say that you cant install them, do to you device and others because of your location. I dont know how to fix the local one. But with your device, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cssyIE4maZY
Of course he is talking about getting games to run, but its the same with accessing apps on the market.

That is because a lot of those apps use frameworks/APIs that are no longer in ICS.

New to kindle but experienced in android

Alright so I got my kindle fire yesterday and my immediate plan was to root it and flash the jandycane Rom everyone was talking about, so I read some threads about rooting this thing. But I then read flashing a any Rom would basicially defeat the purpose of a the kindle part and basically turn it in to an android tablet. And yes ive looked and searched, I'm not a noob so don't flame me. I just want to know what rom I could flash and keep the kindle properties and amazon properties.
Thank you, kole

Check out the MoDaCo ROM. It is the stock ROM, but has the Play Store preinstalled, so also gives you the functionality and choice of a normal tablet with as well as access to Amazon's services.

Thanks, I have the kindle app on my phone so I saw my books are backed up and can connect to the kindle store as well. So could I install jandycane and use the kindle app to still use kindle gift cards to buy books? Sorry for the questions, ive only had this thing for less than 24 hrs
EDIT: I guess if it would work to keep my books stored then I could just use my Pc to add the kindle gift cards

Reading on the kindle app isn't as good as reading on the stock app. I prefer to have both Jellybean and GR9 Modaco.

You mean you dual-boot? I've heard bad things about it, so I'm just using the kindle app, however I do have the Jandycane ROM and use other apps like the Kobo app, the Aldiko app, and the Google Books app so I have access to many sources of books.

Josepho1997 said:
Bad things? The only downside I've had is you have to split storage for two ROMS. But I still have plenty of room left.

I meant there's a certain amount of risk that the whole thing might be messed up during partitioning.
But both ROMs are installed on the system partition right? Rather than the sdcard partition?

That's true for everything you do to modify the Kindle. It's not too hard to do.

Go to settings, security and check off unknown sources. That way you can sideload apps. Search the forums for the nook app and you can download and install that on the Tab. It runs on it. Then you will have access to your books.

Thanks but that's not working! i think it's more on Nook side. Does nook check to see if your using a Nook device and if so they block other devices from running using or downloading certain Nook books???.

Is the nook app running? My GT2 runs the Nook app fine and makes my books available. What version are you trying to run?
Edit: you may be trying to download certain magazines. I heard other users say some magazines would not load on the Nook app. Or kids interactive books will not run.

All of them or just certain titles? Like I said in the edit, kids interactive will not work on the nook app.
