Kindle app issues - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted Nook Color with Jelly Bean. Running off an SD card. SD card is a Sandisk 8gb class 4. I have the Kindle app installed. It has been taking a long time to open lately. Also it doesn't remember my last bookmark until I'm almost half way thru a book. All of my other apps seem to be working just fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems to work for awhile and then it's back to this. My daughter has the same card in her Nook Color and is also having the same problems. Any ideas?

Did you start having this problem after updating the kindle app? I had problems recently when I updated the kindle app on my Nook Color to the most recent version, it was constantly hanging and crashing. Luckily I had an image backup of my SD card and just reverted back and it works fine.

I had problems too when I updated the kindle app. But I had reverted to a previous version. It was working fine until the last couple of weeks. I have automatic updates turned off.

Sorry for not replying sooner but I don't come here often. The version I am using is 3.6.0.0.87. I tried installing the latest 4.2.X.X but had all kinds of problems.

What happened to my tab?

Hi. So, I had some problems with my tablet since I installed pershot's kernel. I decided i wanted to try to revert back to stock.
So, i basically in the process bricked my tablet and have been tinkering with it for a few hours now.
And all of the sudden, it works again.
I managed to flash PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5 with ODIN.
and as far as I can see, its a fresh, clean install;
Apparently in the process I've formatted everything on the tab and got 3.0.1 up and running.
But heres the weird part:
I got applications installed on The GT10.1, that i ONLY use on my GT7 installed.
And i know this doesnt come pre-installed with the 3.0.1 firmware since there are specific norwegian applications installed. (Posten, Spotify, and a launcher)
How.. How can this be??
The Launcher and Posten-application were never ever installed on the GT10.1?
Edit/update:
Hmm. Could it be google that have installed these applications for me?
I belive all the applications that arent supposed to be on this tablet (tasker, spare parts, blade buddy, hotels.com, bump, posten sporing, xda-premium and Wifi Analyzer) are cross compatible on both tablets?
Seriously. I have no clue what have happened here.
But then again, the tablet just booted up with this applications pre-installed, and all are apparently working. I didnt notice any downloading of some sort.

Only way that happened is if you kept the restore feature box checked during the initial setup.

So it restored the applications from .. my other tab?
isnt the point of restoring, that its supposed to restore the GT10.1 like it was before, and not like the GT7 is now. ?
I mean, cant google differentiate between the tablets? :s

Wouldn't be very useful if it only restored from the same exact phone or tablet, now would it? I got rid of my G2x, because it was a terrible phone. I bought a G2 on Craigslist. When I finished the initial setup, it had installed all of my apps and configurations from the G2x.

Back and forth - Update 1.0.1

Well, I did it.
Unrooted my nook (turned off, turned on pressing both lower side buttons, cleared everything, logged in, deregistered, logged in again), installed update (went fine) and rerooted (using touchnooter 1.6.24).
Launcher is working, button saviour too, but I can't get market to download anything at all... I wanted to use astro file manager to sideload a newer version of the market, but no success at all. But wifi is working fine with standard browser. I'll try to adb the market apk later...
And the Serial Number for my nook went to 00000000000!
I hope I can get myself out of this mess.
Updaters beware!
Thanks for sharing! hmmm, definitely sounds like it brings more issues than it solves so far...
Well, SN is back again, but still nothing on market.
Is there a way to do the touchnooter with the newer version of the market?
And maybe include the ad-hoc hack would be good!
Update is OK
Hi, I updated my Nook Touch twice due to some glitches when I did a backup. I don't have any problem at all. Everything is fine, including market.

Help needed with CM7 and google apps

So I had to restore my Nook Color back to factory settings and the reinstall everything and stupid me doesn't have a back up. So I have installed CM7 nightly verision 164 and it is running beautifully but I can't get the Google Apps to install. I have tried EVERYTHING and am on the verge of losing it. I have found different threads talking about similar problems where the fix the problem by reinstalling the zip file in CWM or by connecting to wifi and then market will show up asking to install all the other apps. Tried and nothing, wifi is working fine becasue I can use the internet with no problem even was able to get the Amazon App Store running but not the Market. Any ideas please help...
I had the same problem, and I was able to talk to the person who post a video on Youtube titled "How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color (PC Version)". This is from his description.
Having problems with the Market? Use this version of CM7 instead.
h t t p ://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.2-encore-signed.zip
Then update cm7 with your favorite nightly.
Hope this works for you~

Market stopped working

Hello folks,
After the market on my computer stopped recognizing the nook - so no more choosing apk on market and downloading later on on the nook.
But yesterday (Oct. 22nd), the market stopped working. Whenever I click on it, it shows a screen with "loading" written on it and a thingy spinning, and it goes on forever and never works.
I've upgraded to vending.apk and market2.3.4.apk, downgraded back and forth several times and nothing. The only thing I've got from market was the licence screen, and loading again and again.
I've searched /data/data and data/dalvik-cache for anything market related, but nothing showed up.
Can anyone please help? Pleeeez?

I have a similar problem. In my case the market app loads as it should, but the marketplace does not "see" my Nook anymore. It only sees my HTC HD2 with AmericanAndroid on it. Before it did also see my Nook as "PHone" and there was the option to load compatible apps onto the device.
And I also remember that I saw a post with a possible solution, but I can't find it anymore...
Well, at least sideloading is working... until now.

try install this one

this work for me
Bad thing is that this version is the one I'm using now, and still doesn't work, as does the original market (from touchnooter 1.6.24) and the 2.3.4 version. So no market so far.
Maybe resetting and rerooting would work? Any experience on the subject?

[Q] CM10 fails after update

Hi,
First time posting here. I've been searching around but I can't seem to find anyone with this issue. Which means I'm likely making a rookie mistake.
I've been running CM7 for a while now w/o issue. Decided to look into the state of ICS and found out JB is where it's at. So I decided to give it a whirl based on some successful posts about it, even at an early stage. I used a 8GB SD and on my latest attempt, I loaded cm-10-20121204-NIGHTLY-encore and gapps-jb-20121011-signed onto EMMC. Afterwards, it booted up fine, got connected to the wifi and looked great. Somewhere along the way, something happens that causes Android to popup a dialog saying it's updating. After that's done, soon after I get a popup that "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped working." When I open a browser, it immediately closes. If I try the Play store, it pops up, "Network error - retry". So it's like a part of the android comm "stack" gets busted on that update. Weird thing is that if I run the Google search app, it returns results from the web, so some connectivity is still there. But when I click a link, the browser pops up for an instant then closes again. I tried clearing caches, doing resets, reflashing gapps, etc. Nothing seems to work. Is there a log I can activate to maybe get more details?
I've probably tried out 5 installs now, using various recently nightly's up until 1204 w/similar results. I just can't figure out what triggers the update. I even tried w/o installing gapps. In that case, I sent myself a link to the Amazon android app, using the email setup. It installed and I could get apps downloaded and running w/o issue. But eventually after a reboot, android updated and I was right back at the gmail failed mesg, even though I hadn't installed gapps. On another try, I had installed and when I reformatted the SD card, it updated after the reboot and same result.
So, I guess I just don't have a clue at this point as to why this update runs, nor do I know what it changes to break the device. After going rounds w/it for about a week or so, I gave up and reloaded my old 7 image. I'm willing to try again if anyone has a clue what I can do.
Thanks

Did you do a factory reset with recovery before you booted into CM10? It sounds like you have some old apps like Gmail staying on there. Coming from CM7 you really need to wipe first.

Thanks for the reply.
CM7 was installed to SD only. CM10 was installed direct to the EMMC.

What was installed on emmc before? Did you wipe that? You might want to use my format 567 zip on my tips thread linked in my signature.
