Hello. I'm new here, and I'm not sure if this post goes here or in the Apps subforum. If I'm mistaken please forgive me.
I rooted my Nook Touch and I followed some instructions to make the Market app work. But it doesn't search anything so I can't install anything.
I need at least an app to access the filesystem from the PC, or the app "SearchMarket" so I can properly use the Market to install things.
I've tried a lot of things but nothing had worked:
Install SearchMarket from play.google.com and send it to my Nook -> Nothing happens to me.
Install from the PC -> I've read various guides but I can't never connect my Nook to the PC that way, the USB drivers never works.
Install Opera and install apk from there -> I install Opera, but as soon as I launch it, it crashes.
¿A way to install apps, please? I'm desperate here, as nothing I've tried have worked.
I'm not a completely noob, I've root several devices and I know about computers. I'm just new here and for some reason I can't get the guides I read to work.
Thanks in advance.

OK, finally managed to install SearchMarket!!!
Now I need to access file system from PC to modify the internal dictionary, because I want to change the language... how can I do that? Thanks!

I guess ES Explorer will do the trick. Thanks anyway xD

This is my first android phone im trying to figure out how to install apks onto my phone i read some threads and looked on youtube but still no cigar what programs do i need installed on my phone or computer, right now i have eoe app installer and i thought i put a apk file on my phone but its saying nothing found if some one could quickly break down the process for me or point me to the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.... once again this is my first android phone im a iphone convert(i see the light) so i gotta learn how to think again
There are a few ways of doing this. I like to use tAttachApkInstaller from the Android Market. Install that, than just email yourself via gmail the apk file. Once you recieve the email you'll see an option on what to use to download the APK. Use the app I just told you about, and you're good.
what your looking for is "sideloading".
there should be a couple stickys describing how to enable sideloading.
Just download a file manager.
Have Root (if not, you should), then get Root Explorer.
Do not have Root (again, you should), then get Astro
I just drag the apk file to the sd card and then disconnect the phone from the computer and look for the apk with the file explorer that the phone brings and just click it... done!
^ if you use Awesome Drop you wont need to use a cable.... I usually just download apps straight to the phone using the browser.
Thanks for the feedback it's seems like there are a few different ways to skin a cat I'm try some of the suggestions
I have rooted my Nook Touch and found I could not search market. I read several articles and attemped to get Market to search. In the process I removed the vending.apk (with adb) and attemped to install a new market that reportely was working with the Touch.
This prompted several errors and finally installed the new Market, however the Market would not run, only allowing the credit/accept page then returned to the main menu. I have uninstalled/attempted to install via ADB and also used Push with no suscess.
Apparently I am missing some step and now need all the advice I can get
THANKS!

This is a working version of market: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51. I just install it over the one that comes with TouchNooter after I've TouchNootered the nook. I copy the vending.apk from my computer to a download directory on my SD card and then, using Root Explorer to access it on my Nook Touch, install it. Works a charm. HTH.
That was the answer! THanks
Hi
my market dont work,and i have not root explorer& file manager
how install apps & market ?
Access market on your computer (PC/Mac/Linux), choose programs, and then enter market. The programs you downloaded on the computer will be downloaded to the nook.
I can't access the Market site; it complains that I don't have any devices registers and tells me to start with the device first :/

Jago, It seems Google has blocked the nook from being able to access the market, from PC. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294723&highlight=android+market
hello,
i read there are different way to install application , i wish to try to understand all the way and how they work, could you help me in this ? i am a noob but i am perfectionnist
- open the market from your rooted nook, select the app , install
- open the market from a computer , connect with your google account, select the app, install
- find the apk , download on sd card , use a file explorer to install
these are the easy ways, is there any more way to do ? thanks

Using the ADB interface.

i am just in the middle of looking for that in the forum, i don't understand what it is and how it works... can't find easy explanation...
The first three steps of one of my manual tutos:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20069222&postcount=3
Helps you get ADB running on windows.
ADB is Android Debug Bridge. It provides terminal-based interface for interacting with your phone’s file system.
And this makes a small simple script to easily connect to your device.

Check my other manual tutos if you are interested in some examples of what you can do with ADB. (On my sig)
thanks eded333, i will have a close look to that. I like to understand, but i feel like my computer skills are to small to go ahead in that step. but anyway, i will try
Unless you want to use your e-ink device as a tablet, you don't want to have a market app (even Amazon) on it. Or to have mail programs. I personally prefer to use it for reading though I have a normal tablet for other stuff.
Anyways, my point is try to get used to adb way, this one is keeping your nook less bloated than anything else.

Hi everybody
Apologies if this is already somewhere on the forum but I could not find it.
I have rooted my nook using nookmanager. Is there a way to install apps now without needing anything else? From what I read I need to install NTGAppsAttack. The problem is that I currently don't have access to any SD card. Is there a way to install it using ADB ? or any other way to install applications?
Note: when I tried the amazon appstore it told me that it was not available on my region :/
Thank you!

Look at the NTGAppsAttack install script. You can emulate what its doing by manually renaming & pushing the files with ADB. You can also install .apk files via ADB without installing the market.
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.
