I'm having some weird problems setting up the Google accounts after rooting my Nook. I used a backup dd image to restore my Nook to 1.1.0 factory settings, update it to 1.1.2, and then ran TouchNooter.
I followed the exact instructions, and now I have GTalk working perfectly. However, when I ran GMail, it always freezes at "waiting for sync", and Market simply shows "Server Error".
Anyone might know what's going wrong?
Thanks.

Has it been more than 24 hours since you rooted? I always needed to wait for the Market to become active.
I don't *think* that would account for your Gmail problem. I don't use the Gmail client for gmail, so can't help there, sorry.
I do not know if this info can work for you, i have tried Aptoide store and work well with NST but the searchs are difficult a little. I think is due to the repositories `cause is the way in Aptoide work.
Have a nice day.

Hey kurono,

P.S. The conversation here was not about app stores of any kind - it was about a Google server error. Please refrain from posting on threads that you are not knowledgeable in. Thanks again.

Sorry for asking this, However I have try to search on everywhere but not answer. My problem start happen a few day ago. when I normally check my Gmail via D2. it's start asking me to re-enter user name and password again and again!.... even I got it all right!
Anyone have this kind of problem before? please share with me..... this problem is killing me....

This happened to me when I was trying to use Opera. I don't like Opera, so I quit using it. Problem solved. Best advice...get the Google mobile app.
I had the same problem. I deleted the gmail, and started over. Also, use the manual setup. Are you sure the settings are correct?
Solved! (I think....)

Hey guys,
I have a google account linked to my phone as well as an email account. its been that was fine since i got the phone. Now i am trying to add a second google account, to get the emails and it keeps saying that i have no data connection and to try wifi. so that what i do and it still doesnt work. ive tried like 15-20 times at different places and on different wifi networks and it wont sync. You fellas got any ideas on how I can fix it? oh i am rooted with clockwork installed but no actually roms or anything installed.
Thanks
Sal
This is going to sound crazy but it should work. Add your second account through the youTube app. Load up the YouTube app and hit the menu button, then try to log in with the Google account you want to add to your phone. It should now show up in accounts & sync.
WTF?? lol i was so skeptical when i read your idea i dont even have a youtube account with that email so i thought no way it was gonna work. but i tried it and it worked perfectly haha. Thanks a lot martian21.

Glad it worked! I thought the same thing as you but tried it anyway since nothing else worked. Hopefully the more people who have success with this, it will become more well know. Please share your success with others.
Thank you, was getting frustrated. This worked!
Installed the Dexter upgrade 1.2. Update went flawlessly. Followed all the steps outlined in earlier posts. Now have Calendar!!!! and market icon. When I try to add my gmail account I get the following message -
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server."
I can sign into my gmail account through the browser...but can't seem to connect via the "add a google account" or through the gmail icon (which was not a problem before the upgrade.)
Also tried to set up a new gmail account. Get the same message.
Any ideas?
Make sure your date and time is set correctly
Time and date are set properly. But I switched to automatic just in case...
Still get the same message. Worth a try though. Thanks.
Market issues
I am having the same issue with the google / gmail account setup. It does not appear to be connecting through the wireless when connecting to google. I have let the inital connection fail then it sets up the wireless and that gives the message about not being able to connect to data services (cell network). I can browse with the browser fine and is otherwise normal but will not set up google accounts. Did the factory wipe and the install went great without any other issues.
Cannot get to market HELP!
Ok this is a major problem, market won't allow you to sign in with your google account. Ever since the update to 1.2 is like they put a lock on the market! I wiped both the user settings as well as the cache before updating to 1.2 and I am still locked out. Can anyone clarify what I am doing wrong?!
still not working
OK...came to my office and tried a different wireless network..not that I thought that was the problem, but anything is a shot. I have wiped the cache, etc. et.c
Still a no go.
All the workarounds that I have found use You Tube...but A7 doesn't have You Tube and no other sites that I can access offer it.
Since this thread isn't on the "developer" part of XDA not sure if anyone who can help is seeing it.
Here's the upside...I didn't have market before..so I haven't lost anything except a lot of time.
Has anyone gone back to the previous mod version to see if it doing the same thing? Could it be an issue with Google and not the mod?
I have not done that...but will try it tonight. I had othe problems with 1.1...FC on both sound and brightnes and the calendar, so I went right to 1.2 after that rather than load anything back onto the device.
This has been happening since yesterday. the g tablet section is having the same issue, as are many other I'm sure. Google seem to be screwing with the market.

BTW...took about 30 seconds to install...what a pleasure.
That worked great!
My other A7 is now working without the Market enabler, so looks like Google was screwing with stuff yesterday...
Thanks for all the help
I have tried rooting my NST using TouchNooter 1.11.20 following instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343143
But, I do not see YouTube app or anyhing like that. There is Gmail, but no YouTube, where I should sign in.
What am I missing?
Nevermind, I found the YouTube app, but I still cannot get Market working -I am getting "A server error has occured" message. YT and Gmail work.
Any ideas what might be wrong?

If you check in on the TouchNooter 1.11.20 thread over in the development forum, you'll see that this seems to be a common problem. It appears based on those postings that the Market app will start working after a certain time (overnight?), assuming everything else is correct.
I've discovered that you can get into the Market without waiting by adding a SECOND account. (In Gmail, click into the settings from ButtonSavior, then click accounts, and there'll be a button to add one.)
I discovered this by accident trying to set things up for my wife. I thought there was a problem because she did not have a Youtube account set up through her Google Apps account. So I went ahead & added my account to the NST to make sure the rooting process had worked, and lo and behold there was the Market. Now I needed to figure out how to delete my account (which I still haven't figured out how to do!), but in the process of researching that, I ran across this business with a delay for the market to start working.
I then wiped out my NST and went back to the backup I made before I started all this (version 1.1) so I could try again with a different account.. and a third time too, just to make sure with a different order of accounts. It was consistent: the first account gives the "server error" message when opening Market; the second goes right in.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of one of the accounts that's set up. Anybody know that one? If the "Accounts & Sync" setting I'm used to in stock Android is there, it's well-hidden. (For that matter I'd like to get rid of Gmail... or at least not have it auto-sync.)
Slartiwhatever,
thanks for your comment, registering second account and syncing it fixed my problem too! I do not really mind having two accounts set up, so this works well enough for me.
Hi, I am looking for a K9 email client apk that works with android 2.1 on the NST. The oldest I found needed Android 4+....
Anyone can point me to a working and safe link?
Thanks!

According to the K-9 Mail GitHub, the attached version should run on 2.1 (I haven't tried it).
Thanks, unfortunately I get an error "There is a problem parsing the package"....

Rats.
Google is your friend. Search for the app with a version number that (according to the Wiki) should run on 2.1
Of course, that's what I did, but you might have more luck. Or (hopefully) someone who is using it will see this thread. There are a number of old threads with app packages attached. A copy might be in one of them. I remember people touting it long ago.
Edit: a search of the forum turned up no old copies of the app for me, but I did run across a post complaining about the wake-lock in K9 and Gmail. If you're not wedded to K9, I use a very simple email app which does not skulk in the background waiting for a connection. That means you have to manually check mail. You might want to take a look at it.

YEs, that email client is working (the email.apk one). I had to set the google account to accept sign-ins from "less-secure" apps though; Also, hotmail does not seem to be working, but at least gmail does.... Thanks!

OK, so never say "never". The attached K9 apk file installs on my NST and displays at least the first page I figure that's worth looking at. BTW, on that first page it states that it does not work with Hotmail....
Anyway, give it a whirl.

I found an old apk for hotmail and that seems to work (even imports contacts from hotmail)...so I should be all set (re gmail + hotmail)....
Browser (Opera), email (K9 and hotmail), RSS (greader), news (BBC, Engadget,...); readers (kindle; have not tried Google books app yet). a few games (Chess Pro, Landrule, ...), and a few useful utilities (Button Savior, Mathsapp calculator, ...) and the Go Launcher.
Also was a lot of work (finding apk that still work under Android 2.1)....I will probably look into alternative e-readers later this year (such as inkBook Prime and Co)....

Yep, kind of an interesting scavenger hunt at times. There are two packages of apps which might contain something you'd like to try in this thread.
