[Q] question about market app - Nook Color Themes and Apps

Maybe i am remembering wrong but didn't the market used to give me more than one page of results? Now whether i search or choose" top paid" all i get is one page of results. Did i do something? This is the market that came with the autonooter for 1.01.

Turn your Nook to landscape and scroll. You have an older older Market.

The market will only display apps for android 2.1 and it wont scroll without being turned to landscape. The new market fixes both of these issues and is easy to sideload.

Thanks, I updated to the new market and it works fine now, if slooooowly.

How to update sideload apps via market?

Is it possible to get market to update apps that you sideloaded? I know there's an app people have referenced (atrackdog) but was wondering if there are other methods.
http://atrackdog.a0soft.com/app.php?id=9
I think this will fix missing market links, I haven't used it since my G1 though.
On my phone, the AppBrain app would show apps that were not displayed in the market for update. However, it does not seem to be working on my Nook, but I also haven't synced my AppBrain with my gmail account either, so I don't know if that has something to do with it.
I just installed aTrackDog and so far it will show what needs to be updated, but when I click the app, all of the options in the menu are white, so I can't see it against the background.
Update: Apparently in all the reading I've done so far I did not see that this is a problem with the stock ROM. With a different ROM such as Froyo it will solve the not being able to see the text.

[Q] Appbrain unable to update installed apps

In relation to the Nook Color issue of not displaying your installed apps in the Market app, I confirm that AppBrain is able to show all my installed apps (I'm running PhireMod Nook V3) but still I have an issue. It shows me which apps are to be updated but when I click on one of these apps and select "Update (in Market)", then it starts loading the Market app and ends up with an error message saying that the requested item cannot be found.
So AppBrain is sort of a half workaround to see your installed apps but you still need then to go and find your individual app in the market to install the latest version which is quite painful.
Anyone the same experience and/or a solution to use Appbrain fully rather than the Market app?

If you can't see the app in the market you can't see it in the market....... Appbrain doesn't have its own market, it just links to the Android market.

Nope, appbrain has let me download apps not shown in the "old market" on autonootered 2.1 eclair with the "fast web installer" app. This method won't work for you because PhireMod uses "new market" (v.2.27) which blocks appbrain from bypassing it.
Here's an post about the change. (previous article was about the last time google blocked it! )
I'm going to try to use the reversal directions to put old market back on after I install PhireMod:

If I can't get old market working, I'm putting eclair back on it.

I've been using it on eclair (to find apps not listed by the market). My understanding is that it no longer works once you move to new market. I still haven't switched to froyo because I was waiting for the pandora bug to be fixed and hoping that appbrain would release a new version with new market support.

[Q] Apps in the Market

I've looked all over for an answer to this, but I can't seem to come up with one. I've loaded Vegan 5.1 on my new GTablet and everything is working the way that I want it to. I've run into one problem... my tablet doesn't show all the apps in the market. The best example of this will be with "Stupid Zombies." If I search for that on my HTC Incredible, I get two results "Stupid Zombies" and "Stupid Zombies Adventurous." If I search for it on my Tablet, I only get the latter. I can search for Facebook and get "Facebook for Android" in the first three hits on my phone, but the tablet shows the list with that single app removed. Am I missing something? I've started going on a hunt for common apks that I have on my phone that I want on my Tablet, but I don't like that as the solution. Can someone assist?

Hi,
As the poster above mentioned search for "market fix" in these forums.
Actually, I thought that Vegan comes with some of the tweaks (fingerprint change) for market, but I think that the bottom line is that you'll find that (1) no one really knows what a "full market" would be (i.e., how would you know how many apps you don't see?) and (2) you probably, as far as I know, won't find one set of fixes that will allow you to see "all" of the apps in market, at the same time.
I've said it before in other threads, as far as I know, it's not 100% clear (technically) what criteria Google's market uses to determine what apps to show or not show, so without that knowledge, it's difficult to determine how to get around that.

Ah, I tried that before, but I couldn't find the google services framework. In retrospect, I think that I was trying to achieve it before logging in with my account. That got it all up and running. Thanks guys.
I've had a G tablet for a few months.... There are still certain apps that show up and pop away with the market fixes.
For instance, when I loaded my first rom, before I did the market fix, I could see WeatherBug and Wells Fargo Mobile in the market.....but hardly anything else. I loaded the two apps I just mentioned and then did the market fix. TONS of other apps showed up...ADW, Playon....all the normal stuff I'd expect to see....but No WF for WB.
I've tried 100 different ways to to them to show up, but no matter what Order I do things in....all the way from nvflash to reload and market fix, when I consider my market "fixed", just meaning that almost everything I search for is there, still no wells fargo or weatherbug.
The new Amazon app store helped with that alot. Now things that don't show up in the market, I can usually find on amazon apps.
The two programs I mentioned I've never been able to find in some of the newer ROMS...veganGB, the newest TNTs...

Exactly this. A fresh install of Vegan 5.1.1 and my purchased apps is missing a few (namely mlb11, launcher pro). If I do the market fix I am able to see mlb11 and launcher pro but a couple of apps that were listed before are gone (WII Controller IME, Gravitron live background are examples)
I am able to backup the apk's with titanium backup on my phone and install on my tablet so far when I need to.

[Q] Apps not scaling to screen size and swype

Before when I was on AutoNooter rooted NC apps like google reader used to scale fine. But since I've installed CM7 nightly 04/04/11 these apps are not scaling..
Furthermore, I've installed swype on the same NC with CM7. The swype keyboard works fine when typing but does not work when swyping.
Open the Spare Parts app and uncheck Compatibility Mode.
As for Swype, search the Nook forums and you should find a thread with a fix.

Stock email app APK? How to get market apps to added to the Nook "Library"

When I rooted my Wife's NT it broke the stock email app. Is the APK floating around anywhere so I can re-install it?
Also, has anyone figured out how to get apps from the App Market or Amazon Market to show up in the Nook Library?
My wife like the Nook stock GUI but I can not seem to added new apps to it that are not purchased through the B&N Market...
I meant to post this in Q&A. Feel free to move it! Thanks!

For the second part, yes.
Download Nook Color App Manager from the Market and launch it once. This will add it to your Nook Apps screen. You can then move it to one of the home screens (this, unfortunately, you have to do) and launch it from there. After that, you can select anything you've installed and add it to the stock Apps screen.
The only down side is that Market installed apps will not run from the My Apps screen. They have to be copied to one of the homescreens first.
Thanks the the tip on the "App Manager"
Strange that the app icons have to be launched from the home screen and not the "library". Any idea why it works that way?
