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.
I received my Nook Tablet for Christmas, and of course the first thing I do is root it (using Nook&Zergy). Now that I have access to the market, I ask myself"wheres all the apps?" I assume that it was the Android market filter hiding incompatible apps. So later on I try to side load and get errors. So now I just want to know how to get apps to work? I also blocked OTA's.
[In a nutshell]
What I know:
-Nook runs tweaked Gingerbread
-Honeycomb app I try to install get a parseing error when I try to install(most likely do to api's)
-Market has limited app selection.
What I want to know:
- Is it possible to get Honey comb apps to run(for example adobe touch apps, sketchbook pro hd ect...)
-Why is the android market selection so limited
-What is a parsing error?
- If you have any more advice feel free to share
Thank you!
I'm having same issue
Im having the same problem. Google maps, Evernote, Facebook all do not show up in market. When I use the browser to access the market it says these apps are incompatible. Also words with friends installs and opens but doesn't show properly, the chat window overlaps the game board so you can't see it. Is this a dpi issue? I've seen other posts that maybe dpi needs to be changed to 160. If so, How is this done?

Gingerbread can't run honeycomb apps. I have evernote and some other apps I have found through other sites, however i have not got facebook to run yet.
The apps are limited because of the fingerprint of the device, but people have spoofed the build.prop file to gain access to more of the market. See other threads.
I have facebook and twitter running on my rooted nook right now. I took the apks from my phone backups and put them in dropbox, downloaded and installed. (That was actually before I rooted) but they are working fine and the widgets work on the homescreens. I did that with all of the apps I wanted from my phone.
If this helps, I created a tutorial on how to download apps not showing up in the Marketplace.

Just doing a quick survey here. If you're on firmware .14, can you see if you can see the "Scrabble free" app in the Android market? It suddenly became incompatible after the update....
I believe it was incompatible before the .14 update. I tried to download it from the android market a while back (I think I was running .11) and saw that it was incompatible.
No worries though, I just side loaded the Scrabble Fee apk.
If it is within the parameters of the forum can you post the apk?
Scrabble Free
Although I have previously installed it when it was compatible, it currently shows up as incompatible with my prime.
Thanks guys for proving to me that I'm not delusional lol. The next question is where can I get the API? Anyone kind enough to hook me up?

Alright, I've looked all over and couldn't find anyone asking the same question, so here it goes. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Back in November I rooted my stock Nook Tablet. I did not install any other ROMs, I just rooted it and used the method to make the software version 9.9.9.
Due to some school things I haven't picked my Nook Tablet up until recently. Tonight I noticed that both the Fandango and Words with Friends apps needed to be updated. So I went to the "Apps" library and tapped "Check for Updates." When I did this, it told me that all apps were up-to-date, despite the fact that both the Fandango and WWF apps still said they needed to be updated.
I suspect this has something to do with the version 9.9.9 thing, but I am not sure, so I jumped on here to ask if anyone has any idea what's up.
Furthermore, I've noticed that if I install WWF Free from the Android Market, by Nook App of WWF no longer says it needs to be updated until I actually click on the app.
Everything else related to the Nook works fine. Downloading books, magazines, other apps, etc. But for some reason, no updates are showing up as available.
Anybody have any idea what's going on? I'm stuck. Once again, any help is appreciated!
Hmm. Ok, so I did some more investigating. It looks like you can force the app to update without using "check for updates" by archiving the app and then un-archiving it.
This is just a work around, but if anyone else has the same problem, this looks to be a way to fix it for now.
I have had the same problem.
I have a similar work around....I use Go Launcher to uninstall the B&N apps and then after a reboot I go to the Nook App Store and redownload the apps. MOST of the time it downloads the new updated version, but sometimes I have to do this process several times to get the new version.

Can anyone else confirm that the G-Talk app no longer works/signs in? Whenever I try signing in, all of my contacts and my own contact are permanently grayed out, despite having internet connectivity (tested both over wifi and cellular). When I tried installing Hangouts, this issue was no longer present, Really sucks because Hangouts is a major step backward from Google Talk for obvious reasons (no status messages, shows people who are away/busy as offline, bloated layout, bloated contacts list, doesn't show online status of people you are chatting with in same window, generally confusing UI, etc.)
Tried on Samsung SM-N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) but I do not believe this issue is device specific.
Thanks.
This is currently happening to me, although it works on a new install of my current ROM. This makes me wonder if a Play Services update (or similar service) killed it intentionally. I'm going to let everything update after a new install, while it's working, and see if it dies.
I'm seeing the same thing. It works if I update to hangouts.... ugh
So now I guess our next step is to figure out what service is killing Talk and revert that as well. Because as I said this works on a new install of my ROM that was built before whatever was pushed.
I don't have a problem with you updating an app - but if you're going to force me to use the updated version, don't strip it of the features that made it great! Looks like Google has officially gone astray from their old slogan of "Don't be evil."

What phone/version are you using?
---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------
I found the culprit. It's Google Play services, which was updated Nov 5.
Uninstalling the update gives me gtalk connection back, but maps doesn't like it.
Looks like we need to find the apk before the update and prevent it from autoupdating
I can confirm that uninstalling the Google Play Services updates allows Talk to work fine again (Nexus 4). Also that some functions like "improved location" in Maps are asking for this update back.
What I don't really get is that I never enable auto-updates, only pick them manually, and that Talk suddenly stopped working last night. Even though the last Google play services update i did was at least a few weeks ago...sleeper feature? Or is Google Play Services updated anyway in the background? I'm not sure that finding the version prior to the one published on Nov 6th will fix the issue, at least without any drawback...
Google and its f*cked up Hangouts are really pissing me off. Forced updates, forced apps, I'm starting to feel like I'm dealing with Apple here.

Agreed. I don't mind even mind the update though. The reason there is forcing involved is because Google removed Talk's most important features and expects us to just deal with it. If things keep going this way, my next phone may very well be an iPhone or a Windows phone. I can't support a company that forces its customers to use featureless junk. Google needs to realize that while it still has the largest chunk of the market, there are two other major players, and they are not invincible by any means.
I'm using imo.im, at least for the time being.
Same here, I´ve noticed that Google Play Services update is the bad guy. The Hangouts (crap) works after the update. I removed the Google play services updates and gtalk worked again bit now the triangle with the exclamation about google play services keeps anoying me.
I´ve noticed on GPS (google play services) update, theere are two new permission requests and one of them is turn on/off network...
I´m sticking with gtalk and the triangle error
Sorry for my english, is not my native language.
Update: After disabling google+ notifications, the triangle on status bar has gone
Ugh. Kit Kat came with this all pre-loaded. I did install the Talk APK but yeah, it can't login. Not sure what I can force-downgrade to get it to work without breaking stuff too badly. Anyone have any ideas?
I really, really can't stand Hangouts. It's not an IM program.
On my Nexus 4, reverting Google play services allows me to use Talk again, but I noticed I am now unable to send mails with the Gmail app. I can receive just fine, but no way to send...anyone having this too (with the factory version of gplay services)?
Also the network icon constantly gets grayed out. It seems to be working fine... Strange though.
I update the gplay services again, no Gmail is too much to ask for me.
I'll use another messenger while waiting for a new gplay services update to come out. Or maybe waiting to get an previous apk that keeps the overall functions working just fine.
I remember when I would proudly feel satisfied with having chosen Google and Android over the rest. Hm not so much today. Wouldn't really quit android, but damn I hate seeing it weakened by those socially-networked-marketing-alterations.
If anyone has a decent backup for gplay services that allows talk AND the rest to work fine, I'll be interested! Gotta say I have the previous version (the one right before the Nov 5th update) in a nandroid bkp, and somehow Talk doesn't work anymore with it.

First off, I have suffered from the same issue but found a solution. Secondly everyone should be aware that it depends on the Android version you are currently running if the Google Play Services can be downgraded without an issue. The best version that works with talk, maps & gmail is 4.0.31... if anyone needs a copy let me know! -RFE
I can confirm this issue... It is rather frustrating that I now have to use hangouts.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the S4. On my S2 Google Talk works and on my S4 it doesn't. The both have the updated version of Google Play Service. So as for me that's not the solution.
I'm still trying to figure out a way for Talk to work on my S4.
Hangouts has grown on me. It was a bit bulky at first, but the UI is the same as Gmail and the new email app for 4.4 so I've gotten used to it. Plus now it can handle SMS messaging too its essential.

It just doesn't do what I want it to do. I don't want all my contacts mixed in the same basket. IM contacts, email contacts, gmail contacts and phone/SMS contacts are NOT the same pool and I don't want them to be in the same pool. I want to be able to logout of IM and have people in the IM pool NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT ME, for example - and right now I don't even have that anymore even if I never ever use Hangouts (which I don't). People can IM me when I'm offline and it goes to gmail and sits there for a week or two until I open gmail.
Again, I have no problem with Hangouts as The Big Social Integrator, but they should've left Talk out there for those of us who do not WANT it all integrated.
