Hello!
I'm using Autonootered 1.1 and Asphalt 5 HD showed up in the marketplace for $1! It failed to load the intro video, so I deleted LOGO.MP4 from the directory it was stored in (I think sdcard/data/gameloft/games/asphalt5, but it wasn't hard to find) and it loaded perfectly! It is very smooth, and I have a feeling that if any other video problems arise deleting them should work.
Hurry to buy it while it is on sale!
thanks for heads up, just picked it up for a buck
Thank you ! gotta try this now
I tried getting it working on nookie Froyo 0.6.8 but no luck. I even tried deleting the video file, but it just kicks me out saying it can't load the video.
Any ideas on how to get it working on Froyo?
I bought this today . Installed then wants to download additional files. Tells me it cannot download the data apk . Not compatible blocked.
I have N/C auto-nooter 3.0 1.1 .
Any ideas why ?
Version 3.1.8 works fine for me, I'm running 0.68 Froyo emmc. I had no luck with other versions of Asphalt, including both the one dollar version from the market, and the 5 dollar version from Gameloft's site.
Anyone get this working on CM7?
downloaded, installed and it says I need to install another program in order to run it, I hit ok and it fails. Anyone seen this?
Edit- got it to install, needed an sd card in. Kicks me out at launch, no error. Deleted the intro vid, didn't work.
How exactly do you find sdcard/data/gameloft/games/asphalt5 ? I am new to the android world any help pointing me it the right direction would be appreciated.
Update : Found it connect to computer using usb cable look at contents of sd card , gameloft . deleted logo.mp4 now loads and works although froze on my 3 rd lap on first run . Will try again .
Okay , need another work around running auto-nooter 3.0/2.1 , Uninstalled , reinstalled , removed logo.mp4 . But now game wants to download missing file to continue , once download will not open . Looks like for me only worked the first time. any other ideas to get this to work .
* / For those who get the error message incompatible file or device will not load apk , go to NooK Color Tools , and check , uncheck , check again , Allow Non-Market apps , then totally shut down Nook and reboot .

Hi ;
Found a version that would work with my nook color . Uninstalled my paid version from market .
Then installed ver. 3.1.8 for the Galaxy Tab . It works .
Asphalt 5 HD v3.1.8:
Samsung GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab
Samsung GT-P1000L
Samsung SCH-T849 Galaxy Tab
Samsung SPH-P100
I got the .99 one working. If I deleted the video file it usually worked but would want to redownload when I re-ran the app. Also tried converting the mp4 to baseline and the app didn't like it. I now have the following..
1. Make sure the Nook status bar is hid when running AW by doing the swipe.
2. Don't delete the video file.
3. Run app. It usually will kick right back out but I keep trying and usually around the 4th try it will give me an error about the video file failing. Click OK and runs fine.
AW? Sorry for the noob question.
from my NOOKcolor BN1.1 rooted
Sorry. Typo. Meant ADW. The default launcher. To hide the bar just swipe up.

I've been lurking these forums since i discovered android, and have never had the need for asking help until now. Alas, my plight is one i've yet to find a solution for on the forums.
Alright, so here's my issue:
ViewSonic G-Tablet w/VegaN
issue with 3 games:
- Angry Birds
- Angry Birds Seasons
- Castle Warriors
Originally the games were installed perfectly, and without any issues, i'd play them over and over.
My g-tablet (slightly off topic) cannot be detected by my computer, no matter what i try doing, so i am constantly removing my MicroSD to put my music and such on it to get it to work on the gtab.
I accidentally left my microSD in my computer the other night and when i saw the icons on my (g-tab's) desktop, i was surprised to see that they had no image, such as corrupted files tend to do.
I read up here on xda but have tried the following things and none of them have helped.
- removed the apps from the "on SD card" spot in the "manage applications" part of the settings
- did a factory reset
- tried getting APK versions, and installing them with Astro
- tried installing them from the market with SD in/out of the slot
- tried installing them using Applanet
- tried installing them using appbrain
i always get the same "application not installed" error.
EDIT: i have also gotten the error Unknown Error -18 once as well!
please help me out! Thanks very much!
Try this :
while connected to your pc browse to .android_secure and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec'
(You will not see this in file explorer only from your pc)
That should work, if not let me know I will try something else
If that doesn't work this will:
Go to menu>settings>sd&storage>unmount sd card>then install while unmounted then go ahead and remount after install.
The first of the two is a permanent fix the latter is a work around
thank you very much! that fixed it!
i'll give you double thanks if you can actually aid me in figuring out as well why my battery never drops below 100% while i'm using VegaN?
lol. glad it worked..... for the battery just leave it on until it dies then charge it until its green and then an additional 30 min and it should be good.

Thanks. It worked for me.
I want to share the versions of the Market and various Gapps that work for me on Sam's HC EMMC v4.0, 2nd ed. build {Huge props to him, deeper-blue, and others who got HC working on the NC. Without their heroic efforts, I'd be working 4 jobs right now trying to save up to buy a Xoom}
This script is the first one I run after doing a fresh build of HC EMMC, but you should also be able to do it on a stale version of HC as well.
Maps is version 5.0
While I am confident that these files will work for you as well, please remember, individual results may vary---use at your own discretion.
NOTE: The 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' file in the attached .zip will remove the blue wi-fi icon from Sam's initial build. If you prefer the blue icon over a working Market (My Apps), then DO NOT proceed with the installation!
That being said, please do the following before trudging ahead:
+ Perform a full backup using your bootable CWR SD card [see samuelhalff's thread for instructions on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071]
+ Backup each of the original files on your NC that will be replaced by the script
+ See #1 & #2 above...you've been warned
Instructions for Installation:
Extract the files contained within the attached .zip into the same directory as your ADB directory (where your 'adb.exe' file lives). Mine was located here on my computer: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Connect your NC to your computer, ensuring ADB is working properly ahead of time
Double-click on the file 'HoneyGAppInstall.cmd' and the script to install the new apps will run
The script will reboot your NC upon completion
Once your NC comes backup from the reboot, you can then login to the Market, select "My Apps" and they should show up right away.
I have also attached the 'build.prop' file I use. This modified file allows me to see tablet apps (NY Times Tablet, More Good News Tablet) and also I can see/download/install both Angry Birds games.
NOTE: The ro.sf.lcd_density is set to 140 in my file. This is not friendly to Zeam and needs to be set to at least 150 for that launcher to work without Force Closing in Portrait mode.
Good luck and let me know if any issues.
EDIT: For those running a build that is not new and already has the original Market setup, would be best to do the following steps after running the Gapps script:
1.) Settings > Manage Applications > All > Market: Clear Cache then Force Stop -- DO NOT Clear Data2.) Settings > Manage Applications > All > Google Services Framework: Clear Data3.) Reboot

Would it be possible to flash the market zip through recovery? Looks like it would work in theory.
I can see all the installed apps on My Apps. Thanks for these files. But I have one problem. My Nook no longer shows up on market.android.com. Anyone else have this problem?
Is Youtube working?

I don't use that site much, but I did just check it out of curiosity.
I verified it was working by going into: My Market Account > Settings tab. I can see "LogicPDZoom2" with last access of today's date.

Not being a dev, I don't know how to compile the files I attached and make them flashable.
However, I can tell you that I do have a black-themed Market by Darkslide for my DroidX that is flashable via CWR, but sadly, it did not work for me. I tried it by booting to the CWR SD card. Would have been nice to have the black-themed version.
I also have a flashable version of Zeam, but again, did not work for me.
Now, I have not tried it by going into CWR using Sam's method with his built-in utility. This is because I have not really been able to get that to work 100% of the time and also because it is just so easy to get to CWR via the bootable SD card that I have not really messed with it too much.
I can post the black-themed Market if someone smarter than me wants to take a look at it...might prove useful. I am just not sure if a DX file can be used on the NC
Just let me know and maybe we can figure it out together.

And you have to be pretty fast at disabling that little "HQ" icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From my experience, has to be almost instantaneous by the time it appears on the screen or the video won't load.

Thanks for checking. I did mess around with the build.prop you provided. I think I messed something up. I will use the file you provided without any changes.
Thanks.
Not being dev minded, I don't know how much help I would be. I was able to extract the apks from the zip file and move them with root explorer, changed permissions and it appears to be holding. Have rebooted twice and still good. Your script in the zip file would not work with cwr since it is windows based, I think. I don't know if the apks would install in recovery without a script, seems like it would not. Anyway, thanks for putting this together. Market works with the apks and the build. prop seems to have helped as well. Thanks again.

You are most welcome and yes, the .zip is not flashable for CWR. XDA will only allow for certain types of files to be uploaded and .zip is one of them, so easier for me to go that route.
Files in the .zip are meant to be extracted into the folder where ADB.exe exists in order for the script to work correctly. As stated in the OP, I have only tested this on a Win7 box, as that is the only platform I have access to at the moment.
Root Explorer will also work, as you already know. So, for those who want to go that route, it is certainly an option. Glad things are working well for you at this point. Thanks for your feedback!
I'm just checking. These are the Android 3.0 gapps from the XOOM, not the 2.3 gapps? (Sorry I'm a little tired and don't have the emmc version installed, I run the SD card version, so I can't test ATM)

2.3, not 3.0.
Just transferred all the apps and the build.prop to a stale build of eMMC 2nd (3 days of use) and other than using root explorer followed the instructions to a T. My apps seemed to work but not thinking I updated maps in the market and now it doesnt work. Tried to uninstall updates in market (didnt seem to even finish the process), replace with my original apk, replace with apk from your zip here, clearing cache and data. Nothing seems to bring it back to life. Anyone else have this problem?
P.S. I think the white wifi icon looks nice.

Just used a combination of Root Explorer and ADB (for the chmod) to use your mod and everything is working great. Thanks a ton for posting this!
Only change I had to make was the LCD Density in the build.prop since I want to use Zeam. I tried using the default launcher but it is so laggy, I just can't.

Did you get your Maps back and working yet? If not, PM me and we can work on it together, offline. And if we can get it to work, we can post the "method to our madness" here in case others have done the same.

Glad all is working for you and that is a good point...I will update the OP to let folks know the build.prop has the LCD Density set at 160, which is not Zeam portrait-mode friendly.
Thanks for the feedback!
Okay, just downloaded the new Amazon Appstore and installed Angry Birds Rio (the first Free App of the Day). Force Close... so I tried both 140 and 160 LCD Densities and still no luck. Tried both of the other Angry Birds (original & seasons) and they force close on all three densities as well.
Any thoughts on why you are able to run them but I can't using the same build.prop? The only thing I had changed from your build.prop was the LCD density, but as I said, even changing it back to match your original setting doesn't make Angry Birds work.
Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons work for me. I had to move them to the internal memory. I already tried moving Rio to internal memory, however it still FC's. I can get the game to almost start, but when it's time to start shooting, it FC's. I haven't tried changing the LCD density.
Same issue here with Rio. Tried internal and no dice. Doesn't run at all when on SD.
Hi,
I tried lot of Samurai 2 which is around 40 to 41 MB and when i install it on my device its shows Application not installed. I have tried asphalt not working. I have installed NFS shift. Its working. Why does other games do so.
My device is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 just bought 4 days back. It has same factory rom and Os not even rooted. Just modified the os to install apps directly 2 sd using adb. I think this wont be problem because I have installed many apps which is working fine, Except some games. Help nedded guys. please....
Are the apps compatible with your device? A lot of Gameloft games aren't compatible with lower-end models phones.
Yes of course. I just now installed Asphalt 5 into my device. It plays well. But instead of a single file, I got the apk + sd cache. So i need to transfer sd cach to the sd and then install the apk to play the game. I did it for both Asphalt 5 and NFS shift. But I tried Asphalt 6 and Samurai 2 which is a single apk (not sd cache with it) and it gives application not installed messgae. My android version is 2.2 so is that may be a problem? HD games actually work in my handset. Except these new games. Lokking for your kind reply.
I have had these similar problem on my captivate you will need to just forget those apps or try installing them after flashing a diff rom..!
That's kind of an odd problem, maybe try contacting Gameloft to solve it or at least get a refund or something.
If you want to do some messing around with the apk you could decompile it with Apktool and look at some of the xml files to see if they have restrictions based on device or android version or anything. If you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't try, if you do it's worth a look.
Sure I will get a look into it... and update you. Thank you......
I know that for streakdroid 1.9.1 and before, there's option in install.txt to enable the compatibility for gameloft games.
However, I've jump to DSC gingerbread. For now, I'm having problem with the compatibility with gameloft games..（my lcd density is 160) any idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot guys ！！
Could you be more specific about encountered incompatibility?
Hmmm.. When I browse with phone, the apps couldn't be found thru the market. And if I browse from computer in the android Market, and it shows that the game is not compatible with ur device. The game is mentioned is Brothers in Arms 2. Besides that, for yesterday android market 10 cents promotion, only 9 apps are showing up for me, the one dint show is one of the gameloft game. I also tried to download the apk, and after I installed, it failed to download the data package, and said that the device is not compatible. Thanks for helping me solving the problem ya, and thanks
Have you tried using market enabler to fake mobile provider?
If this doesn't help, i'll look for another fingerprints.
I don't have it handy, but the fingerprint for a Nexus S allowed me to download Asphalt 6. I reverted back to the original though before I could test the game.
Found it!
In your build.prop, find the line that starts with ro.build.fingerprint= and replace it with this one:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/sojua/crespo:2.3.6/GRH78C/93600:user/release-keys
Reboot your phone and see if it works. Make sure you make a copy of your original build.prop though just in case.
You must be rooted to do this.
n0p & lordmorphous,
Thanks for the fast response for u guys, will try it later ^_^
Anyway, thanks u guys for the great DSC rom =)
you could try getting games from gameloft wap store??
Find out what version is compatible and download it
Someone said xperia x10 mini versions work??
I have had some luck with htc desire versions as well (just dont choose any samsungs)
older adreno phone versions should be compatible.. (reminds me I need to update my gaming thread asap)
Update:
I've tried both methods, results returned seem to be the same ><
Update 2: I think is the gameloft compatibility issue.. even installed the apk file, it still failed to download the data over wifi, mentioning that the game is not compatible with your device, ask for refund. Same happen to my fren's moto ..
I'm running DSC ROM and in order to get some apps (Sleepy Jack, Tetris Free) showing up in the Market, I changed the fingerprint to:
ro.build.description=3.06.405.1 CL150597 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/150597.1:user/release-keys
They were succesfully installed, so what are the reasons to change the build.prop back to the DSC default?
I think there's no reason Thank you for sharing this fingerprint.

Thank you for answering and off course a great ROM!
So the only thing is that the Android Market now thinks that my device is a HTC Desire HD.
FYI: In order to make the spoof fingerprint work, I also changed
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
ro.product.name=htc_ace
ro.product.device=ace
ro.product.board=spade
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
After editing the build.prop I've had to 'Clear data' from Market app and Google Services Framework, reboot into StreakMod to Clear cache partition, Wipe dalvik cache and Fix permissions.

thanks ! u brighten up my days
This tweak will make the camera failed to work
here is situation:
1. I had rooted 1.4.2 with not blocked OTA and my NT updated to 1.4.3.
2. It is obvious that root and some apps stopped working and some of them even disappeared from the device (like WinAmp for example).
3. I rooted 1.4.3 with SDcard method and it looked like things are fine until I started to get my apps back.
4. I used FIREFOX as a main browser with 1.4.2 update and after registering at Play store on rooted 1.4.3 I read that FIREFOX is incompatible with my device!!! What the hell?
5. Also, my NT registered at Play as NEW device, not the old one as I had - so it seems my serial changed or something has changed in the build.prop or somewhere else in the identification part of device.
6. Besides, after root, i started installing apps and it seems Notification bar has some sort of glitches - it does not clear all the messages and keeps the last downloaded file in the list...
Can anyone point me how to fix incompatibility issue?
---------------
Now, second situation:
7. I reverted back to 1.4.2 with the img file from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
8. But the thing is that I want to try 1.4.3 again
9. I downloaded official update from B&N and put it onto the SDCard
10. It boots and progress bar starts to move but at some point (25% of bar) it shows me exclamation icon with '!' and says "Please restart your device and try again..."
What is this issue and how it can be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I have had similar issues with the play store and my Nook on 1.4.3 but if you want to block OTA updates more effectively, I have been told that the updater cannot run if you have CWM flashed rather than the stock recovery image. When I screwed my Tablet up I found that I couldn't get it to load the acclaim_update.zip or any update files until I reflashed the stock recovery image rather than CWM.

Can you share the links or files that get your nook back to normal state?
I've been reading and reading a lot the forum but still miss something important. Step-by-step guide would be much appreciated, if possible.
I have found the same problem. When I run CM7 on the NT from an SD card, I have no app compatibility issues. But when I run from rooted stock 1.4.3, I get the app compatibility error. I even tried pasting the build.prop file from CM7 into 1.4.3 but that did not correct the problem. The same apps are coming up as not compatible. What else is the Market looking at to determine compatibility?
Nook Color

This was actually a fix for Nook Color... to modify the build.prop. If you copy/pasted the entire build.prop I would think it would work.
One other thing to do is
1.) manage google play
2.) clear data
3.) uninstall updates
4.) manage google market
5.) clear data
6.) manage google services framework
7.) clear data
8.) reboot
This didn't always work and I had to do this a couple time. Not sure if which step made a difference or what order but it eventually worked. And I could see as many apps as my Captivate (Galaxy I).
Anyway, again, this worked for Nook COLOR and not Tablet. Or at least I havent figured Table yet. If you figure it out. Let me know.
My recent attempt was to copy the build.prop from Nexus and I got black screen after start up. Now I had to unbrick my device and I'm back to square one.
Good luck.. Keep me posted!!!!
@rtabasco - Good plan, but it didn't work. Even when I uninstalled the update and just used the Market app. Looks like 1.4.3 may have changed something other than the build.prop file. I'll keep poking around. It would help if the Play Store would provide a little more detail about the compatibility issue.
This just gets even more strange...
Restored with 1.4.2 image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 and Google Play (after root with sdcard method) says "FIREFOX is incompatible..."
Also tried to restore with NT_stock_1.4.2_Ribbon_Root_B&N.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494367 and Google Play still says "FIREFOX is incompatible..." Besides 'Go Weather EX' is incompatible too - this is ridiculous.
Anyone has idea how to overcome this?

You mean - can I access 'build.prop' and change DPI there to 160? I probably can, but why exactly 160?
Why not default "169.33333"? As I understand CM7 has '160'?
it took me less than a minute to find this one... please do more searching and reading... thank you !

Apart from the issue we are discussing in this thread that we can't figure out, a lot of compatibility issues with a rooted NT could be eliminated by changing the screen DPI to 160 in the build.prop file. My guess is that most of the apps were written for phones with 800x480 displays (or other dimensions that are easy multiples of 800x480). Making that change had worked for me to get access to most apps I wanted until this most recent problem that has been caused by changes in 1.4.3 or in the Play Store, or both working together.

Thanks for explanation. I looked in build.prop from CW7 and DPI there is set to 160. I will try and report if this solved at least firefox problem.

Thank you for video, but I was not asking how to edit text document, but rather what this change will give me.
Well, BNs build.prop has separate settings for X and Y dimensions. Following the logic, it does not matter if DPI is set via one command or via two... Anyway, simply changing to 160 DPI and rebooting did not help me with firefox compatibility in play store as well as other apps that were noted to show incompatible.
Any other suggestions and ideas would be very much welcome!
