Anyone had any success getting moboplayer onto nook tablet? I tried to find even an apk to try it without success. I got rockplayer to install but that annoying R in the corner is bothersome.
nevermind, I was able to sideload android market and download it from there, wasn't available on amazon market.

How were you able to load the market?
well I downloaded old android market apk from forums, when the redesigned market came out. I then emailed that to myself and downloaded to nook. Problem is now it wants me to enter account info and when I try the nook boots me out of the app.
Downloaded Moboplayer v7 neon apk, boots but requires registration, apparently nook blocks internet access from these apks as it fails to communicate. Anyone have non-beta apk of Moboplayer neon?

I have several apps that are communicating with the internet. I don't think the nook is blocking any thing.
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of moboplayer, but I have had great success with MX.
If you want to give it a shot here is the APK:
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/MxPlayer_1_4a.apk
Yea, I ended up sideloading MX Player, works great as long as I use software decoding.
Here is link to market apk, although as I said it will not allow you to log in.

Interesting, I herd some people may have cleared that by 'doing a thing' with the youtube app. Tho i have no idea what. Any thoughts ?

I was actually allowed to login, but it does force close INSTANTLY after doing so. However on the plus side my account is now tied to the nook, and the previously installed gmail app, suddenly perked up and started getting mail. My Google reader app Also starts now, no problem!
I will look into youtube app and post results.

Here is the Amazon Video APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352694
This is really the last piece that the Kindle has over the Nook Tablet... and now that is solved.
Notes
There is some preventative code in the Amazon Video Player that stops it from playing if you are rooted, but just get the "OTA RootKeeper" app from the Google Market (or search the apk) and install that. That lets you temporarily unroot with a single click. Then restore root with another. All right from your device! No need for PC connection. Now you can watch your prime shows without losing root!
There is no menu option to login to your prime account through the app. Some people claim that if you have Amazon MP3 installed and login there, then install the Amazon Video app, it will use the same login info. But if that doesn't work, you can simply click on a prime video, click the buy button, it will take you to a login screen, then login and it should recognize your prime access and let you watch.
Won't save login
Amazon Video apk installs and runs beautifully but I can't sign in. I selected a movie to purchase, was taken to the login screen, entered login info (I'm a Prime member.) but then it kicks me back to the movie screen and starts the cycle all over again. After re-entering my login several times it never gets past the loop. Is there a trick to having it remember the login?
Try and reboot the nook after logging in, worked for me.

Worked!
Worked like a charm and I'm embarrassed that I didn't try this first! Thanks for your reply.
Looks like it doesn't work if you are rooted.
Worked before rooting, no longer working after rooting. I am a sad panda.
The work around is to use OTA RootKeeper, a free app on the Market that will backup your "root files" (I'm guessing su) and restore when you need it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
Unfortunately, I can't test this since I don't yet have the Nook or any other Android tablet. Hope it helps you guys out though!

It's a better layout, and the video plays faster since it's all native.
Didn't work for me. I think because my NT is now rooted. Got a "cannot open file" when I tried to launch the apk.
about streaming videos...
Can anyone check how these stream on NT:
http://vimeo.com/hd
http://veetle.com/index.php/listing#all/quality/1 (highest playable bitrates?)
Revision3 apk (available at Market) when on "HD" ?
any other online HD streaming video content you know of and able to watch and report/demonstrate?
Thank you
Can NON Prime members at least rent movies? No free streaming right? I have the Amazon player on my NT but afraid to login to my Amazon account because I dont't want to be charged $80 lol

Prime membership just gives you a subset available to stream for free. It is not a requirement for accessing the video service.

On the page for the video, it shows the different options available to watch (Streaming, Download to PC, Portable Device, etc...). Can you download the portable device version and transfer it to the NT to play in the app?

You shouldn't get that error if you are rooted. It should let you do everything but give you a warning when you try to watch. But see the first post again for notes on how to easily bypass this.

Hmm. I installed the package twice and it's nowhere to be found, even with ES File Explorer.
These are the steps I used to set up my Nook Tablet and get it set up the way I wanted it. I have tweaked it even more but this is how I got to where I am now. I hope this collection of links to information may help others be as happy with their Nooks as I am with mine.
I am happy to have access to the Amazon ecosystem including buying apps from their app store and watching Amazon's instant streaming video as well as the Google Market and B&N Store. All this with the ability to access Netflix's HD content, an MicroSD slot, beautiful screen, sufficient processor & RAM leads me to feel that this is the best tablet for the money on the market today.
I would like to also thank Indirect, anlog, Loglud, gojimi, romified, t-r-i-c-k, robertely, Brad Linder and all of the other developers and XDA members that have worked on Nook tweaks and/or shared information for the benefit of others.
Just to be clear, I am nobody, I haven't created or worked on anything. I just mined all of this information for my own benefit and I thought I would post a copy of what I have found in a single post for those that follow. All of the credit should go to the people who created the posts that I am linking to.

1. Download & install the Amazon .apk from the link.
2. Download & install OTA Rootkeeper from the Market.
3. Run OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot.
4. Run Amazon Video.
5. Click on a video to rent & a request to login will pop up.
6. Log in with your Amazon account info.
7. That is it, now just use the service as you'd expect.
Good Luck.

Does anybody have a link to the SWIPEPAD apk file by any chance? Unfortunately I am only side-loading, hence my problem getting it via the traditional market.
I really have tried to get this a number of ways, and in a number of locations, but have kind of hit a roadblock! What's ironic is that it would have been quicker for me to ROOT my device and load it via google, rather than waste the time I put into trying to side-load it LOL!!!
Note: Root access is required in order for this to work.
Since I've found a workaround to install apps not showing up in the marketplace and haven't seen anyone address the issue other than rewriting system files, I thought I'd post this for people who (like me) don't know how to use the first method.
1) search for the app you want on Google in your browser, ie "xxx android"
2) click on the result leading to the Marketplace website (IMPORTANT: be sure to open the link with your browser and not the Market!)
3) click the "Install" button
4) you will be prompted to login, enter your info (you should only have to do this once)
5) this time, choose to open with Market when prompted
6) click the "Install" button and your app will download!
Hope this helps anyone

When I try this method, the search finds the program I'm looking for but as soon as I log in and open with "Market", not the browser, it replies with "Program not found". So I guess it doesn't work for me.
Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

Its not working for me either which leads me to believe its the app. Go ahead and try another free app just to see if the method even works.

Oh, well then... I feel stupid? Edit: I didn't see it when I tried searching for it in the Market app.
Just tried it with Google Maps and no dice.
Ok, I tried AVG Mobilation Anti-Virus Pro, and it came back with something like "Sorry but you can't download because you haven't paid for it" and then I got the good old "! Your device isn't compatible with this item".

post #5 for a list of apps you can download through your browser - just click on the "remove this frame" to activate the download.
(thanks to spoland)
there is a newer version I found somewhere but I can't find it now (v6.0.3)
~ G
I don't understand how this can work - if apps aren't showing up in the Market on your tablet, surely that's because Market thinks they're not compatible with your NT. And if that's the case, when you sign into your account in the browser, the same thing would happen of not letting you send the app to devices it doesn't think are compatible?
In browser, the Market doesn't even list my NT as one of my devices, even though I'm signed into the Market app on my NT. Any thoughts on this?
I've had this method work twice and fail a couple times. At step 5 when it opens up the market the app still shows as incompatible but it downloads it anyway.
Torrential91, can you give me an example of an app that this worked correctly for you?
rodorr
I just had it work for Real Racing 2 free version.
I tried it with facebook, but there was no download option, just a note saying it was not compatible with my device.
This method was successful in getting to the app page where i could not before.
I tried "Real Racing 2" and it did indeed work for me. It gave me the message "Your device isn't compatible with this item" but it went ahead and downloaded it anyway. So it does work with some items. Maybe it just doesn't work if there is a cost associated with the item.
rodorr
I know Google maps worked for me. I believe Tumblr also worked this way.
Seems like this method is hit or miss. Can't really say why =/ I'm not a dev in any way, just a guy that experiments with trial and error haha.
Maybe a dev can chime in on this?

This was discussed a while back but I don't think it was ever resolved: is it okay to update the netflix app on the nook tablet? The google play store keeps trying to give me an update, but I know that the netflix app on the NT is not the same as the standard netflix app available on the google store. I'm worried that I'll be trading the specialized NT for the stock one, which I don't wanna do.
Anyone updated? Have any thoughts to share?

I just installed CM7 and downloaded the most recent netflix app- works great.
Oh nvm I see what you're saying. I dont know if installing the google play version will replace your stock app, sorry.
The stock NT Netflix app is not the same one that is in the Goolge Play Store. It is optimzed for the NT hardware and has higher quality performance.
Yes, I know. Which is why I'm asking if I should update it. Because google play seems to think it needs to be updated, but I know that the Netflix app on the NT is not the same one you get in the play store. It's somewhat confusing and I'm hoping someone out there has some idea of how to proceed.
I am running Team-B CM7 and also running the Play store Netflix update 1.7.1
Everything running great here. If in doubt, backup the app with TiBu then go for it! I have had zero problems though.
When I had my tablet stock rooted with google play store it kept trying to update netflix, but never suceeded for long. I found the non Barnes and Noble Version looked worse then the B&N version. Not that it didn't run fine, it just didn't seem as smooth most of the time.

Ditto (both that I think the B&N version was better and that it CONSTANTLY thinks it needs to update). I update from the Google store and would like to go back to the B&N stock version. Anyone know where the stock version can be found?
---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Update: I just did a reboot and it seems like I am not back to the stock version. I say that because 1) the updated version allowed for volume to be changed via a slider bat in the upper right had corner while the stock version's volumne is changed with the buttons on the side and 2) I'd swear the video looks better (but it might just be this particular movie?) now that I seem to be running from the stock version.
I believe that applications that reside in /system/app cannot be updated and I think that's where Netflix resides. So possibly what happens when you try to update is that it is temporary and on next reboot it reverts back to the stock version since it is in /system/app?
Google Play, B&N App Store, and Amazon.com Android App Store will ping pong back and forth when they check installed apps and find one that they think you've gotten from them. Apparently they only check to see if the version number differs, not whether their posted version is more current. I've gotten to ensuring that I only download a given app from one source, and let that source keep it "current."
is there a download link for the b&n version anywhere? diddnt know there was a difference

I'm frustrated with Google Market because a decent handful of apps that I want to download show incompatible with my device. But I can't seem to find anywhere to download the apks now either to side load them. I used to use an apk downloader extension with Chrome but that no longer works and I can't get sites like Appbrain, Getjar etc to download the file either. I'm looking for apps like ticketmaster, cvs, target etc which are all free apps.
Any way around the Market issue or a good site without warez to get these apps?

I have been playing with a Kindle Fire and have(had) the same issue. I have used 1Mobile Market for most of the apps I previously got from the Play Store (Market). To install the Mobile market app, use the browser and go to their site (1mobile.com/). From their you can download their app with needed installer. After that, a huge variety of apps are available.

I also found a lot of 'uncompatible' apps, but sideloading copies from my phone worked fine...

Indeed, but I tried one which checks for root access after I side loaded it. It wants unrooted devices only. Still hoping for a temp unroot option.
you dudes can use modified play store to access all the apps (not paid app for free indeed)

Like where? Thanks
Don't forget that if you have the apps on another device, you can use a backup app like astro file manager to make an apk of any app.

Gapps, and flash
Flash player works when you install from a download. You can get the most current version by googling flash player versions. adobe has all Android versions on their website. Here's the website to download the most current Version of Adobe Flashplayer I also provided a download below.
K just unzip the app file and install the apk with es file manager that works I have confirmed that flash works on my daughters tablet. Adobe Flash Player works just fine when installed normally.

Voodoo OTA rootkeeper does not work for stock nook? I'm getting the 7'' HD soon but I would like to have Amazon Video installed on it. It checks for root but I used Voodoo for that on my phone

Voodoo programs are usually reliant on Voodoo compatible customized kernels, not stock non altered kernels.
For download apk's from PlayStore I use Real APK Leecher.
And how Real APK Leecher OP proposed i created new gmail account only for this necessity. Device ID i just got at my SGS II. All works like charm. Later i can install it to my phone or rooted Nook HD+ with Android Commander (very handy and great tool).
Amazon app store works ironically just fine.

Not true at all. Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper works on almost every single device running Android.
I should be getting my Nook HD this Wednesday so expect some themes to come sometime next weekend.

You don't want to be using this app on the HD/HD+ since it modifies /system and you will end up getting reset.
