Hi,
I have an e-ink Nook Simple Touch, updated to UK version 1.2.1, rooted using NookManager 0.5.0 with the NTGAppsAttack package, and running Android 2.1 Eclair.
I would like to install Google Play Books, Angry Birds, and a number of other discussed apps that require more recent versions of Android, but the Play Store reports they are not compatible with my device.
I can see other users recommending installing Play Books, etc. and I wondered if someone could point me in the direction of how to do this please? It appears these apps require Android 2.2 or later, so am I correct in assuming the only method would be to download the apk files from elsewhere?
Cheers,

Thank you
There are videos online of Sonic being run on a Sega Genesis emulator.
I had thought the emulator in question was GenPlusDroid, but the Play Store says the app won't install on Android 2.1. Is there a way to obtain an older compatible version of this app, or is the guy using a different emulator on the Nook please?

I'm using Racks dualboot CM7/CM9 uSD image.
Where can get the app? I saw it is in 1.4.1 base, can I rip it
from /system/app? I can't find it in the market for CM7?
Does anyone already have the apk available?
thanks folks
Showtime is not included with B&N 1.4.1. The only version of Showtime I've found in the Market only plays clips, not full episodes. It's also old, showing up as a phone-sized apparently on the tablet screen.

Are you running the leaked version of Play Store?
If you are, or you're not certain, this might work for you?!?

thanks, i dont think i am, plus the web site says i have no apps?
Can't seem to find an answer to this question.
Looks like the mod Dexter did for adding Google Play to the A7 was for an older version of the A7 firmware (1.4x).
Will this mod work on 2.2 or am I out of luck?
I just inherited this tablet from my 94 year-old mother and the only app I want to put on it is sold only on Google Play.
Thanks
is yours an a7 or a7+ ????

Sorry, mine's a 7.
Any advice from anyone?
Thanks.
OK, I am editing this last post. After a couple of PMs with Dexter, I decided to run the mod on my Elocity. I did discover that the Android Version is 2.2 and not the firmware.
The firmware version is the latest which is 2.01.
Anyway, the mod worked perfectly and now my A7 has access to the Android Marketplace and Google Play.
So all is calm in the universe. The only issue on Marketplace is that it reads the original device model, so if an app was incompatible with your device before the mod, it probably still is afterward. I have an astronomy app I want that lists the Elocity (T-Mobile Compal A7-040) as "incompatible" by the maker of the software because of it's inability to gain access to the Google Marketplace. Every other requirement for the software is met (Android 2.2 and a 1 Ghz processor), but Google still sees the device as imcompatible and won't let me buy it. Bummer!
Where can I find the files for Dexter Mods?
Just bought one of those old A7-004s from Brad Deals.
I want to have Google Play (Market) on the unit. Ready to burn new rom, but where are the Dexter Files? His website is dead.
Thanks

i have google play on mine and its stock with a few changes but because its under warranty i refuse to put a full mod on it till the warranty runs out.. but anyway go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967 and use the dropbox download and use the z4root app to root your device, if its already rooted then proceed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422 and get the latest play market.
note i tried the modded market but it wouldnt let me download anything so i went with the non mod google play market and everything seems to work fine.. just the normal google crap saying some apps are not compatible with your device.. but theres a workaround for that if you edit the build.prop to have it say its a different device(not sure exactly how to do it but ive seen a few threads where people have done this but i havent).
After installing cm 10-20130414 nightly I get the message device not compatible when trying to download some apps like hulu plus. Any ideas? Thanks.
Nightlies are experimental versions I assume that you are aware of it? Try to install stable version and tweak it some nighltly features you may find them on google.

There are many device properties that Play Store checks to see if an app is considered compatible. Screen resolution and density, permissions like telephony, location services, gps, and not the least of which is the device name in build.prop. Sometimes changing those things makes Play Store say they are now compatible.
But just because Play Store says it is not compatible does not mean it will not run on your device. It just means Play Store will not let you install it. The solution is to get the app somewhere else, like the Amazon Store, 1mobile.com store or from another device. I have found that the majority of apps that Play Store says is not compatible actually run well on the Nook Color.

try download from other market, or just download the apk.
or maybe the app is just not compatible with jellybean (cm10)
Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!
Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.
Follow this guide to replace your stock.
