Transdroid
XBMC Remote
Not working

I couldn't get past the voicemail set up on google voice. Has any one else or should it be removed from the working list?

Anyone know how to wipe the device back to factory so I can remove non-working

Cheers,
Rich

No need to reset...Just uninstall them
adb shell ls /data/app ---- to get the full name of the apk
adb shell rm -r /data/app/APPNAME
Example for K-9 Mail from Market (I installed this, just an example)
adb shell rm -r /data/app/com.fsck.k9.apk
Then reboot, works great!

Too remove non working apps you can either use adb and delete the apk file, or install a file manager like Astro. It has an application manager than can remove apps. If you wipe the device you lose all the apps you've installed working or not, plus any thing you've stored on the internal memory, and you'll have to reroot.

same here... google voice freezes when trying to skip voicemail setup.

Firefox mobile (fennec). IMHO a big improvement over the stock browser (pinch to zoom etc)

---

I'll try this... is this functionally equivalent to "rm /mnt/app/<apk> -rf" do the same thing? I have been installing using the scp method.
Will install adb and android kit tonight.
Also, has anyone tried to reinstall an apk after doing the rm uninstall? Might that be why some of my apps that worked are now broken?
Cheers,
Rich

3 more for the working pile
Evernote
DiskUsage
Google Sky Map (partial usage, can't access the menu so you can only mess with the onscreen options)
And one maybe working. I've got Cyanogen on my phone, so I copied the superuser.apk off and was able to install it on the nook. It will start with no errors, but so far nothing has asked me for su access so I don't know if it's actually doing anything.
Also, how are you guys getting the apks to install? I haven't had much luck finding some of them online, so I've been using my phone. Right now this is my process:
1. Install app from market on phone.
2. Backup app using Astro.
3. Upload backup to Dropbox
4. Download from Dropbox on nook

It froze at the end of setup, but after a re-start it's syncing and appears to work for the most part. I can't get it to play voice-mails though.

Fruit Ninja works, you just have to hit back when Feint tries to load. Although it only worked after changing the sqlite3 database to allow unknown sources installs

Regarding the Dolphin browser, does it work with the latest version?
