I want to be able to buy BN apps for the NC on CM 7.1 WITHOUT restoring stock. Tried installing shop.apk as well as all the BN*.apk files from 1.3 to system/app within CM7.1, but shop wouldn't install.
Also, are the NC apps somehow optimized for tablets/NC?
If you extract the apk and then install on CM7 it should work.

Well how do I get it?
Can I install just the BN store on CM7?
Can I download the apk from BN's website?

No... You would have to backup your CM install. Return to stock, root, extract the apks and then restore your backup and install.

I too would be interested in this. So I guess what the OP and I would be looking for is a walk though on how to do something like this. I am assuming I would have to install ADB on my PC and then what? I know about ADB push for manually side loading stuff, but for copying from the device?
The second part is I am nootered. I don't know about the OP, but would that make a difference? Supposedly ADB wireless is already installed on my nook.
To get an apk from the nook with adb, you'd do:
adb pull /data/app/filename.apk
Assuming its a data app, and not a system. Also note, it's all case sensitive.
Are these apks mentioned above specific to each device? Or could they just be pulled from someone's and posted here (unless paid apps of course)?
If so, happy to do that.

Sorry.
Seems no one is getting what I'm saying.

Sweet, I will give this a shot. It is really the only thing stopping me from running CM7.
Sweet, I'll try tomor.. My nook is my gf's
Does anyone know if the Barnes & noble apps are actually optimized for the nook? Or are they just the same android versions (a la amazon)? My guess is the latter.

do apps from the bn app store have any person info from my account baked into them?

You're kind of dense, aren't you? I know how to sideload apps in all sorts of manners.
Let me more clear. I am looking for a way to install the bn store on cm7 and purchase apps from it to install the apks.
Seems I can't. That is all. The store relies on the native framework.
Bro, that's not what your first post says. If u know how to do this, print a logcat or tell us what kinda errors you're getting so someone can help. If the apps are in fact different, i could compare the apk to an original and see what is changed.. And then maybe progress.

Hey bra, what apps you talkin' bout?
What I've done:
Copied Shop/BNPolicy.../BN [every other app]/ from the 1.3 zip in system/app to my CM7.1 install into system/app. Changed permissions, rebooted. Shop fails to install. I think the shop.apk is only meant for froyo (is 1.3 still froyo?). I might tear about the apk and try to change the manifest, but if anyone else has any ideas, let me know.
In any event, I'll probably wait until the 1.4 rollout and see what they have, and how easily that could be ported over to CM7.1.
TO REITERATE: I want to be able to buy BN apps for the NC on CM 7.1 WITHOUT restoring stock. Also, are BN apps actually optimized for NC? Anyone care to post a freebie apk from stock NC and see how it compares to a market equivalent?

That would be interesting. To purchase apps using the stock shop in a non stock rom.
I was just hoping to run something besides stock and not lose the $$ I had invested in purchased apps through the stock store by being able to run them on CM7 or HC or whatever comes along.

You can always dual-boot. It is a minor inconvenience to reboot everytime, but will do the job until something better comes along.
Hey all,
I know this is an old thread, but with cm9, CM could become my go to rom on the NC (it was rooted stock).
I realized that what I liked about stock was the way it used the status bar. This was something cm7 tried to emulate, but it is smoother in ics. In addition, the tablet style apps work well on ics.
Anyway, back to the discussion at hand.
I have been able to sideload every app I purchased from the nook store to my cm7 (and the ones I tried, cm9) partition successfully.
However, I heard there were issues using the system app.
I will start to play with the preloaded apps when I get a chance (which will be a while, we have exams this week).
I will report back as I do. Here is what I already know...
The shop will not work on gingerbread (or ics) without an edited manifest (or edited buildprop).
It was made under froyo.
I will report back when I learn more.
~Leko
Just thought I would post progress...
All apps I purchased from BN work (I did not buy many, but they do work).
As does Chess, and Crossword (I assume soduku will work).
However, none of the system apps do.
I tried running and installing Reader, browser, shop, launcher and a few others as well as the settings app. And, none of them would install or allow titanium to install either. This is with an edited build prop.

Anyone have luck installing the latest out of Mountain View? Seems like the NT would be a great platform for it. When I try to load the apk it stops mid-installation with "App not installed."

Works fine for me. I installed it on a CM7 HP Touchpad, and backed up the apk to install on the NT.
btw, my NT is rooted.
Edit: here's the apk if anyone wants to try it.

Strange, I'm rooted too, tried again with your apk and got the same result.
Kindle Fire people are having issue installing too, something about missing some google framework files. maybe their procedure could help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382925
Not working for me either.
Unrooted, been sideloading other google apps with minimal issue. Downloading from megaupload, the dowload bar pops up and i get the message "Waiting for data connection," but nothing. Megaupload has given me trouble before.
---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------
So it finally went through, but now it gives me a parse error.
Good find -- I followed the whole procedure and it worked.
My first impression, though, is that the app doesn't format text well on the NT compared to my phone. Medium text size is too big and the margins are huge; and small text size splits the text into two columns, which looks ridiculous and is difficult to read (only 3-5 words across a column). Hope google fixes that in the next release.

Thanks for the tip. I installed on my Iconia A500, backed up to SD, etc. and got it installed on the Nook Tab.
Cool app.
Works great on my nook tablet had to use an apk from my evo (because incompatible with your device b.s.). I use es explorer to tranfer apks to my lan network then download them on my nook. Works perfect syncs my google reader feeds automaticaly looks really nice.
Working beautifully on my NT, thanks google for making yet another beautiful app

It will not install for me either. Tried two different APK's including the one from megaupload.
BTW I am not rooted but Google Framework is installed.
Guess I'll stick with Feedly until someone figures this out.

Thanks for the link. Works just fine on my NT. I think it looks pretty good on here.
Downloaded it to my G2x, copied the apk to my dropbox and uploaded in on my NT. Works great.
works fine for me, great app!
installed it from the apk found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20114966&postcount=1 (General Android Themes & Apps Forum)
had no errors
I have been using Tasker for over a year now on my Atrix and would love to load it on my touchpad, but it appears it is not suppported according to the Android Market. Has anyone gotten it to install? Is this just a matter of the Market or the app creator not being caught up with the dev done on the touchpad?
Maybe copy your tasker apk form your Atrix, than use it on TP?

Sounds almost too easy, if I could only find it on my phone I would... Anyone know there it would be stored by default when downloaded from the Market?

You can use an app called bluetooth file transfer. Once paired theres an option to send apps from your phone to the touchpad. It works great...

/data/app/
You can just email it to yourself and install from the attachment.
If you can't find it that way, you can download app monster, and manually make a backup of Tasker, then navigate to app monster folder and email it from there. This is what I do when apps dont show in the market. Hell, Im bored ill try right now.
and yes Tasker works beautifully.

It shows up in the Market from my TouchPad for me. I've had it installed since the first day I switched over to CM7, but I haven't really done much with it, except to verify that it does recognize events and execute tasks.
So I tried coping it from my phone, but when I ran the apk it wouldn't install on the touchpad. In the market my device is greyed out unfortunatly, I am using MIUI... Guess I will have to try the backup route
Maybe a MIUI vs CM issue?
Edit:
I modified this post because this has become more involved than simply the fb app. It has evolved more towards the build.prop file being modified.
Original post:
i tried to download the facebook app from the market, and it's not showing. so i did a titanium backup of it from my phone and installed it on the nt, initially i was able to open it and sign in. i went to a few posts, looked at a few friends, etc. after turning it off, it would force close each time i tried to reopen it. i dont know whats happening to make it force close. i presume since it's not showing in the market, it's communicating with facebook or the market and one or the other is telling it no.
is there anyway to tell the market this is another device so it will show other apps that are not available right now?

Get your Facebook apk from this compressed file found in this post. Once you unpack/unzip it navigate to the extracted apps folder to find the facebook, Twitter etc. apk's
I'm going with dodgepot's method. I've noticed other apps were not available since posting this. This method should clear it up. It will be late tonight before I'll get a chance but I'll let you guys know the results.

Honestly the facebook app is not that good any version, its better if you access it by browser just bookmark the page.

Oppinions vary on the fb app. I like it personally. I did get it to work however. I installed the updated app just fine from a backup of my evo shift. However... I tried the build.prop mod. Nogo. I tried the nexus s and the .... crap.. drawn a blank here... the second mod listed in the linked page. Neither worked. Anyone with experience modding the build.prop file, I have a few questions. In the original file there are more of the ro. fields listed than what are shown on each of the mods. Do these other original lines have to remain in place or should they be deleted? Some of them look to me as if they would conflict with the new lines. Also, what's the endresult of a screwed up build.prop file? Does something other than market rely on this file? If its geeked up, will I brick or have to re-root? Also, I presume this file is something that comes with the 1.4.0 rom. Is this something that could/should be replaced when the root process is taking place to prepare the device for the market? I guess when cm roms, etc. come out they will have there own build.prop that will define the device as something else to the market so more apps are available since google doesn't recognize the nt as a "market" device?

Do not remove7touch the other .ro's of build.prop just change the lines provided. The end result with a screwed up build.prop basically will be that your device won't be recognized by market and certain apps if not all, for ex. airdroid when i login in my browser to access my nook it recognize it as Droid3 because i changed my build.prop to Droid3. You won't brick or have to re-root your device if you mess up with it, by using adb push of the original build.prop is enough. Build.prop can be changed to a modified one before root i did it and worked like a charm.

I am trying to download an app called Comic Strips by Vasken http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.vasken.comics and I am on CM7 so I thought it would work but I can't get the app to show up. It's a free app but it is protected so I can't back it up from my phone and install it. So my question is how can I get it installed? Can I edit my build.prop file? If so how?
There's a thread in the apps forum on modifying build.prop. But did you try just copying the apk out of /data/app on your phone? That has worked for me before.

Well I have figured out that it is because the app is protected/private but the better reason is that when I got the app installed following the advice to just pull it from /data/app/ (it was actually in /data/app-private/ though) it ended up being in a little box about the size of a phone screen LOL funny looking but it is useless due to the size I might as well just use my phone for it.
