You'll need to have done the following:
Rooted NC - check NookDevs (or here for Win7) for instructions
Modified NC to allow non-market apps - instructions here
Install Astro File Manager on your phone
Install Hoccer (attached) on both your phone and NC
the instructions are simple:
download an app through the android market on your phone
open Astro
Click Menu
Select Tools
Select Application/Backup Manager
Select your app(s) that you want to backup, and click backup
Press Back
Navigate to /sdcard/backups/apps
Long press on an app
Select Share
Select Hoccer
Run Hoccer on NC
Slide the app over to the NC (instructions are in Hoccer)
Accept Install
How does this work I thought that Haccer used Bluetooth to make it work? does it also use wifi if they are on the same network?

You need to be on the same wifi network for this to work.
Pretty awesome. It worked for me. I installed Amazon, kindle, stocks, exchange rate, msn Talk and Xda apps using the hoccer method and all of them work.
I just keep getting your data must be dragged to near by screen even though they're both on the same wifi and right next to each other. I thought Hoccer needed a location signal to work.
Yep. It took a couple of tries to get the sequence right.
On your phone once you hit send from Astro you get the hoccer context menu and clicking that gives you a screen with a grey box at the center. There is a info bar at the top with "transfer time xxx seconds". Now place you nook close by with hoccer running and flip you finger on the nook screen from right end to left. You get a similar grey box on the nook and then the files get transferred. You should see a linking nearby devices or something to that effect when the grey box appears on the nook.
HTH
Works now. That made a lot more sense. Thanks.
I use dropbox instead of Hoccer (on other devices, haven't tried it on NC yet), unless I'm missing some functionality that I didn't see...?
Yea I also just use dropbox
email the apps with Astro
I did the method above with Astro but instead of using hoccer I just emailed the apps to myself with astro and it seems to works fine. Easier than trying to get hoccer to work I think. Only had trouble with one application that started, ran for five seconds then shut down and I got a message saying "unistall app, restart device, then reinstall app using the android market". Anyone else email the apps to themselves? Is there a good reason not to do it this way?
Thanks
Got it now. You actually have to SLIDE it off 1 phone, then SLIDE it ON TO the nook. Works perfect. Nice find
I installed applanet. Seems to have most of the usual apps
From the market. Any reason no one else is using applanet?
You can install and update from their app just like google
market.

Probably because Applanet allows you to pirate paid apps.

i have noticed that alot of the apps i have on my phone do not show up in the market on the nook. actually at most it only shows maybe 15-20 apps per category. i do a search for a app and it dont show up either. flash for instance does not exist in the market. anyone know why
turn the nook to landscape and more will show up. or install the new market.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
I don't know why this.is happening, although I am having the same problem. I just started taking the apks from /data on my phone and loading them onto the nook and installing them that way. Its more complicated than using the market, but not a whole lot more complicated.!
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
irnoically turning it landscape mode worked as for showing up more apps lol. no clue why but it worked. it still wont find half the apps i have on my phone. like flash wont show up which is kind of important when using the web to its full. can you use astro to instal apps on this like you can on a phone? or is there some different procedure
There's another post in the nook forums which basically states to install "fastweb installer" and "AppBrain App Market". This worked for me and allowed me to find programs like Trillian (but at that price, @#[email protected]#$ that).
I don't think there's an overly usable flash at this point. You'll need to wait for 2.2 from B&N or the NookDevs.
The market on the NOOKcolor, even if it looks like the new market, will only show applications that conform to the Android API 7 API level (2.1 and below). FroYo apps all conform to the Android API 8, so they won't show up on your nook unless you drop FroYo onto it.
Source: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html
Using Root Explorer, I changed the System/App folder to R/W and was then able to upgrade the current Marketplace to the newer APK that is floating around the forums. With the new marketplace all apps are showing without needing to turn the screen to landscape.

The problem stated in this thread isn't about the ability to scroll lists in portrait or landscape, rather it is about the ability to see apps that other devices can find.
Two I have seen that immediately come to mind: searching for Firefox, and searching for Trillian (which was a rude way to find out Trillian is both out of beta and now rather expensive, dammit).
Neither will show up on the NC, but show up as the first result on my Droid.
And my NC is also running the latest iteration of Market.

Well, I know flash doesn't show up because it's not (yet) supported on NC. Maybe Firefox and Trillian don't show up for the same reason?

Are these people that are running nookie froyo, or stock 2.1?
All the apps will show up in nookie. They shouldn't in stock 2.1.
Worked on Nootered and Nookie Froyo .59 with new Market
I had the same issue and followed these insturctions from (i think) the original Nootered thread, but cant remember for sure.
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
then
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data -> Force Close
reboot
After that SliceIt, Minimalistic Text, and others that were not available previously appear.

Have had nothing but fun playing with the nook. Even formatting my microsd card in the nook and ending up with it not turning on for a day till I repartitioned the storage didn't make me think it was not worth the effort. Compared to a $600 Galaxy Tab the nook is a bargain and well worth all the love bestowed on it IMHO.
fyi just clearing the market cache made some apps i couldn't find before appear. so even if the google framework is non existent in some like mine clearing cache does help
Google framework is not listed on my apps list. Im trying to download games such as angry birds and rocket bunnies but they don't show up

I'm using WhatsApp without any issues on my Flyer and it works very well. I got the apk directly from the WhatsApp site.
I did find that I had to have my cell radio turned on to use it, though, despite the fact that the messages are sent over wifi.

Hi!
Tried Whatsapp in my Flyer and the application "could not recognize phone model".
Three weeks ago, I contacted Whatsapp-support and got the following answer "Sorry, tablets are not supported at this time and we have no plans to support them."
So bad luck for me...for now.
Pls, veethree, could you confirm the website where you downloaded the apk from?
Thanks !
Hi,
I have WhatsApp running on my Flyer P510e. I took the APK from my HTC Desire as it isn't available from the market.
WhatsApp identifies/registers itself using your devices phone number, which makes things interesting if you change SIM often - for example while travelling overseas. I doubt you will be able to get whatsapp going successfully if you have a wi-fi only Flyer or no SIM in your 3G flyer.
Cheers

How exactly do you take the .apk from your Desire? I have whatsapp going on my htc evo 4g, but I can't get it from there to my evo view 4g.
Please help.
Hi,
Before you get started you need to do a few things:
1) You need a file manager that lets you manage and backup applications you have installed on your phone. I use Astro. Install that onto both devices.
2) I transferred the APK between devices using standard bluetooth, if you want to do that then you need to activate bluetooth on both devices and pair them.
3) Almost forgot, make sure you have 'Unknown Sources' activated in the 'Applications' settings options.
So what you do is:
Enable bluetooth on both devices and make sure they are paired;
Use the Astro to make a backup of the whatsapp application. In Astro this is done via the 'Tools' menu item and the 'Application Manager/Backup' option. Select the app(s) you want to back up, then hit the 'backup' button. Backups are stored on the sdcard in the 'backups/apps' directory and should be called com.whatsapp.apk or similar. Navigate to that directory;
Long-press on the apk to activate the pop-up menu, select 'Send', then 'Bluetooth' (if bluetooth isn't available as an option then check that you have activated bluetooth). Select the flyer from the bluetooth devices list. The file transfer will start.
Now you have to switch to the flyer and accept the incoming file via the notifications panel.
After it's been transferred you just need to activate it from where it is listed in the the notifications dropdown and elect to install it. It wont install if 'Unknown Sources' is not enabled.
From there you should be able to register whatsapp. Note that each of your devices will show up as different users to your contacts on whatsapp.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
I got the apk directly from the WhatsApp website - they have a "download" section and then one for "download for Android" which saves the apk onto your PC (or your device, if you're using it to browse).
As has been said, you need a 3G model for this to work - the wifi only version probably gives issues.

Wow, thanks very much. So many times I had seen people "moving an .apk from their phone" but I never knew exactly how they did it.
That being said, it didn't work for my evo view =( Really sucks. Gotta wait for one of my friends to finally get his android so we can use google plus.
I try to do it but still can't identified. My flyer
I have successfully use and installed whatsapp (thru apk from my desire) with no problem. This was before s-off, and my software number was 1.xxSomething.
When I upgrade to 2.xxSomething and got s-off. I still successfully installed but can not launch whatsapp because of "cant identify device" error.
I also face the same problem. Cannot use whatsapp anymore
I have the exact problem. Then i install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1175589 and now Whatsapp and Viber working fine together with the phone function for the Flyer. But the software number now is 1.38.709.7 and the ROM only in English and Chinese.
flashing to i00 rom did not fix this issue, maybe because that rom is base on 2.xx soft number.
Using titanium restore worked diff for me. it uses my phone account not my flyer gsm number.
So I flash another rom, the one from zhangip, which is base from 1.xx soft num.
Whatsapp now works normal, at last.
Thanks for the post just above.

can anyone can share the WHATSAPP.APK to me which can use in FLYER? thanks a lot.
Good news i have install [ROM][Flyer][Honeycomb] FlyHoney ROM v0.2 | First HC custom ROM for the HTC Flyer, whatsapp application works. Before that i am using Flying High rom and used titanum backup
when i first bought my Thunderbolt, i paid Verizon for the full version of the Rock Band app. before i installed a custom ROM, i backed up all my APK including the Rock Band apk that i have.
once i'm within the custom ROM, i was able to reinstall the game and even played it. i got it opened from the menu that appears after side loading an app that says either "open" or "done" but the app itself does not show in the app drawer. the game does show under the "manage applications" list. i just don't know how to re-open it since there's no shortcut.
i found a work around. i downloaded Any Cut from the Market and it allowed me to place the shortcut on the desktop. but i still rather have it show on the app drawer as well. at least now, i can actually open the game.
i kinda learned my lesson now. i'm not going to pay for apps anymore unless it's from the Market or if the developer makes it easy to switch devices or ROM installs.
I rooted the Nook Tablet using adb and NookandZergy, installed the Go Launcher EX, and had no problems until an accidental tick of the "default launcher" box. I know there are several Q and A posts on the subject, but none seem to have my particular problem.
- I seem to have no access to the developer setting or anything outside of the standard Nook settings. I don't see a way to access the developer settings, though when I plug the NT into a usb port, the notification for developer mode does come up.
- I have no "web" access, as in, I have no ability to open a web browser. I believe I may have deleted it when installing the root using one of the DOS options. The same goes for the search function.
- Going through the "library" app, I can see the android system UI files, etc., but nothing that could seem to help. I also can't launch any .apk files. The NT cannot read the file and claims it is an unsupported format.
I know I have tgps_launcher installed, at least I'm 95% certain that I do. I cannot seem to access it, unless I'm unaware of all the ways to do so. I think I've provided all the info surrounding this. If I have to nuke it and reroot, I will, though I would like to avoid that option and am unsure how to do so.
Any help is appreciate. Thanks in advance.
How to switch the default home launcher for HomeCatcher once I've already set it?... This link is in my FAQ >> i would suggest you to read it.
~ Veronica
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately this isn't possible solution, as it requires use of the "search" function. The search function for the NT Home was removed during the rooting process and is unavailable.
For the sake of argument, I tried to look for some sort of search functionality and found nothing. The only option, as I stated before, was to use the "library" app search function. This only displays actual Nook apps, however (Crossword, etc.).

Clever! Unfortunately, that was a no-go too. I went through Nook Friends to get to the google sign-in page, from there I got a mock google.com homepage going and found a download, but none of the ones I tried would work, the psuedo-browser would just crash.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to remove the stock launcher, but my gf actually prefers that interface to the Go Launcher (it's her device, I'm just doing the heavy lifting for her). I think I'm going to cut my losses and do the manual reset from your FAQ. Going with that, are there any launchers that more closely resemble the original Nook Home, or maybe a method of importing some of the icons/functionality of the rooted stuff to the Home? In any case, I'm going to be looking putting AnyCut and/or NT Hidden Settings to have several backups in case this happens again.
Thanks again for your help.

You can use stock launcher and still have an alternative one for when you use it (lets say) and change between them by using homecatcher or another app like home switcher, you may want to go to B&N setting > search> searchable items and check more items there; also in the quick tips section of my FAQ tell you what app to use to add android apps to default nook home launcher.
BTW just checking when i opened the netflix app you get some links there to open browser but if its crashing then you probably have to start from scratch 'cause that's not normal behave anyway.

Had the same thing happen to a friend's NT that I had rooted for him, and besides all that you mentioned "Button Savior" was there but didn't do anything. You are pretty much stuck.
I ended up having to do the 8+ factory resets and re-rooting, and then restoring everything from TiBackup. At least once you have the drivers working on your computer it's really not that big of a deal. I read somewhere that it might be related to "Homecatcher" but not sure about that.

Hey, I realized we have Polaris when I opened a word doc from dropbox.
Plus I found the actual apk when looking at our installed system apps with es file explorer.
Is there a way to add a short cut to the app menu and eventually home screens, so we can independently launch and use the app?
Thanks

So I clicked on the System Apps apk a couple times but every time it would say, can not install. But low in behold, when I checked a shortcut was added to my app menu automatically, and I could launch the app and use it and make new docs, etc...
...about 2 weeks later, just now, I push the short cut and it now says, app not installed...and the attempt to install again from the system's app folder has no effect.
Any help would be appreciated...if anyone's alive out there...reading these posts... ;P
