Hi all,
I know there is a WSJ app similar to the iPad edition for android tablets. I see that it is downloadable on the TFP running HC but mine is updated to ICS and it will not allow it due to incompatibility. Is there any way for me to get this app on the TFP running ICS?
Thanks a ton

Thanks, I did that. But on my previous TFP I downloaded it while running HC and when I upgraded to ICS, it was still there and I was able to use it. I exchanged that TFP though because of issues and did not have WSJ installed when this one was updated to ICS so I was wondering if there was a way of downloading the app and loading it manually onto the TFP.
Found a link to an old post that had the apk and I was able to send it to my TFP.
Here's the link in case anyone else is looking for this:

The market ics app is very slow and sluggish, here's what i did. I've a htc amaze & the WSJ app for that is tight & light so I copied my titanium backup to the microSD and restored it on the prime, it works just fine. Of course you need root to do this. There are a bunch of other apps I did this way and for the most part they almost all work.
I used acclaim_update.zip, but I can't get android market to stop crashing? i have Amazon Market working.....no gapps...what I am i doing wrong?
Do you mean you used acclaim update to push your NT back to 1.4.0 from 1.4.1? Which rooting method did you use, because Indirect's Nook&Zergy, the sd card by Brianf21/Indirect's should include gapps as well. In general it sounds like it wasn't run over well, might be best to unroot and reroot the device.
Sorry, I'm not rooted. I unrooted because I couldn't see my books from Nook app, so I enabled USB bugging, and installed the Amazon market, and the rest of my .apk's. Its there a way to install Android market without root, because full root I wasn't able to see my books I purchased

I was trying to exploit acclaim_update.zip, but changing a few things around to see if I can get Android market without doing a full root.......Sorry for the confusion.......
Using the Nook&Zergy to root your stock device should have no hindrance with B&N content. I used all of their stuff until I put CM7 on my NT. Also, the market will not work on a stock/unrooted device.
can u direct me to what nook&zergy you used that allowed you to use the B&N book reading? because when i did it, i could not.

I finally gave in and roted my Nook Tablet to gain access to the Android Market. A developer on here, Albert Wertz (albertwertz) makes videos (and SD cards if needed) available that tell you exactly how-to.
I bought a Nook Tablet last weekend, and got fed up trying the various work-arounds to get into the Android Market. I was able to sideload a few apps that I found here and there, but after all that, it still wasn't the tablet I'd hoped for, especially for the price.
I watched Albert's videos SEVERAL times, flashed a 32 Gb SD card I already had, and it worked GREAT! I couldn't be happier about the results! I logged straight into teh Android MArket, and can still do the B&N store as well.
I shot Albert a few bucks in appreciation for his help. Please remember to do do the same!
okay im going to give it a try tonight, I'll let know how it goes

Okay I rooted, but the XDA development app, keeps crashing...Wtf! If it ain't something...smh
Your phone is void! If its not powered by Android.........
Let me guess, you're using the free version? You can use the paid version, the website, or get TapaTalk (which is free on GetJar).
Couldn't find the app on getjar.....do tippy have a link

I finally decided to try out Watching a movie via the market, excuse me, via play ;-) and I noticed that it wasn't working so I decideed to look it up and saw what I had assumed was true: I can't watch it because I'm rooted. Just now I decided to try it on my rooted Asus Transformer and to my surprise it worked perfectly!
I'm running a GB rom on my TF whereas I'm running an ICS rom on my Rezound, could it be some new protection in ICS?

there are temporary root hiders I think.

It should work for what your looking to do,>
Oddly enough, I can still watch movies on my rooted rezound running ICS, AND on my rooted tf101 running honeycomb. However on my other rooted tf101 running Team EOS ICS, not allowed....

I also am blocked but I'm on a GB rom.
I saw the hiders, just curious why it worked on one rooted device and not another.
Could be that the other devices don't look rooted to the app for some reason.
I've used OTA Rootkeeper to use it and Amazon Prime Video with success.

why would they care if you/we are rooted?

People who distribute the media do, because they think that if you are rooted, you can break the stream protection and "steal" the content.
Question about angry birds space not showing in my library. I am rooted on stock 1.4.0 and I have purchased books with no problem. Purchased this and it isn't showing up for some reason? Any suggestions on what I could try? I have the purchase email and the status is shipped so it should show up.
Edit: It says it is not supported yet I downloaded from B&N? I am surprised I could download it from their site and not have it work?

Granted I am not running B&N stock rooted. (CM7) I downloaded Angry Birds Space from Android Market this morning. Worked fine for me. Give that one a try.

It shows its not available on the nook in the play store. I tried that before I purchased from the nook store.

I wonder if you need to check out one of the build.prop edits. When I was running my nook stock rooted I did the build.prop edit to spoof a Galaxy Nexus. It opened up a whole new world of apps for me.

I bought it from Amazon yesterday (99 cents) and it works fine. 16 GB NT, rooted, running Veronica's Ribbon ICS rom.
And the price beats the heck out of what B&N is charging.
It seems awfully short though. I blew through all the levels in no time.
I downloaded the ad supported version of it to my phone, then copied the apk to my tablet and it runs just fine. Rooted 1.4.0 I believe that b&n has an agreement not to allow the free versions to force you to buy them through the nookmarket at higher than normal prices.

Here's my second Noob Question of the day, Do I need a Rooted Phone to Copy the APK file and transfer it to my Tablet?? And if not How would I go about doing that??
I have just switched my BuildProp to Droid3 and was hoping that would open it up but no such luck there.. Figure I'd try something else before I brick this thing..
And since I don't see anybody talking about where to D/L APK files, I'm guessing it's not a topic of discussion around here, so I'll stay away from that..
Thanks for the help..
@Watersoldier, Yes, you would need a rooted phone if you want to copy the legitimate copy of angry birds from your phone to the nook.
Downloading apk is fine for discussion, it's just that discussing about warez (pirated/illegal uploads of paid apps) are taboo. There a lot of websites that hold apk of free apps. apktop or even just a simple google can yield a good amount of results. The best way is to try and go to directly to the dev's website, and if its free, you can get it from there.
Just installed the premium version for .99 from Google Play on my rooted Nook Tablet. Works great.

Has anyone been able to get live TV to work using the Time Warner cable app, or any modded version or with any other mods (e.g. build.prop edits) for the past few months on a rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1? I've tried on CM10 and CM10.1 but it crashes immediately after loading the live TV function.

It works for me. I vaguely recall having to do something funky to make it work, maybe installing an older version of the TWC app, but it was 6 months ago so I don't exactly remember what I did. I think the solution I found was described in the CM10.1 nightly thread, try searching there.

My Galaxy Tab 10.1 is running V2.6#36 of the TWC app. I believe the most current version is V3.3.1#57 (at least, that is what's running on my phone).
I've been doing some googling, and I'm starting to remember more details. I believe that the issue was not with CM10.1 per se, it was with running TWC TV on a rooted device. This link has the APK that I think I used? The whole thread is worth reviewing, but from what I remember, all I did was install the APK I found and it worked without any other modifications.

I've been getting a force close on whatever version I try. Been searching for a solution to that non stop. Didn't start until I flashed jb.

Hi, I recently got TWC and discovered this app. I am with Sprint however, and I am displeased that Verizon users get extra benefits. Maybe this has been explored but has anyone done any more work on this app? Is there anyway to "trick" the app into believing we are Verizon customers or better yet, that I am on my home network so I have unlimited use of the app?? Just asking.
No sound since update?
I have just purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 On Sunday, I got the TWC app and everything worked fine. On Monday night, the app updated and since then no sound.
I tried d/l the previous version of the app referenced in this thread, but when I try to open it, it won't unless I upgrade. I don't want to!
Any ideas how to get the sound to work?
