[Q] Dolphin, Google Maps missing from Market - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Anyone have any trouble getting Dolphin or Google Maps to show up in Android market?
I used this rooting guide:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/root-nook-tablet-one-click-mac/

I noticed this too, just sideloaded dolphin.

Take a peek at the "GApps on the Nook Tablet" thread over on "Nook Tablet Android Development" and you'll see others who had this problem. With a tweak of the dpi setting in build.prop, it appears that several more apps will appear, including dolphin:

Please peruse the thread for more info and PLEASE back up your build.prop if you do this in case you mess up.

[Q] question about market app

Maybe i am remembering wrong but didn't the market used to give me more than one page of results? Now whether i search or choose" top paid" all i get is one page of results. Did i do something? This is the market that came with the autonooter for 1.01.
Turn your Nook to landscape and scroll. You have an older older Market.
The market will only display apps for android 2.1 and it wont scroll without being turned to landscape. The new market fixes both of these issues and is easy to sideload.
sent from my nootered nook color
Thanks, I updated to the new market and it works fine now, if slooooowly.

[Q] Apps in the Market

I've looked all over for an answer to this, but I can't seem to come up with one. I've loaded Vegan 5.1 on my new GTablet and everything is working the way that I want it to. I've run into one problem... my tablet doesn't show all the apps in the market. The best example of this will be with "Stupid Zombies." If I search for that on my HTC Incredible, I get two results "Stupid Zombies" and "Stupid Zombies Adventurous." If I search for it on my Tablet, I only get the latter. I can search for Facebook and get "Facebook for Android" in the first three hits on my phone, but the tablet shows the list with that single app removed. Am I missing something? I've started going on a hunt for common apks that I have on my phone that I want on my Tablet, but I don't like that as the solution. Can someone assist?

Hi,
As the poster above mentioned search for "market fix" in these forums.
Actually, I thought that Vegan comes with some of the tweaks (fingerprint change) for market, but I think that the bottom line is that you'll find that (1) no one really knows what a "full market" would be (i.e., how would you know how many apps you don't see?) and (2) you probably, as far as I know, won't find one set of fixes that will allow you to see "all" of the apps in market, at the same time.
I've said it before in other threads, as far as I know, it's not 100% clear (technically) what criteria Google's market uses to determine what apps to show or not show, so without that knowledge, it's difficult to determine how to get around that.

Ah, I tried that before, but I couldn't find the google services framework. In retrospect, I think that I was trying to achieve it before logging in with my account. That got it all up and running. Thanks guys.
I've had a G tablet for a few months.... There are still certain apps that show up and pop away with the market fixes.
For instance, when I loaded my first rom, before I did the market fix, I could see WeatherBug and Wells Fargo Mobile in the market.....but hardly anything else. I loaded the two apps I just mentioned and then did the market fix. TONS of other apps showed up...ADW, Playon....all the normal stuff I'd expect to see....but No WF for WB.
I've tried 100 different ways to to them to show up, but no matter what Order I do things in....all the way from nvflash to reload and market fix, when I consider my market "fixed", just meaning that almost everything I search for is there, still no wells fargo or weatherbug.
The new Amazon app store helped with that alot. Now things that don't show up in the market, I can usually find on amazon apps.
The two programs I mentioned I've never been able to find in some of the newer ROMS...veganGB, the newest TNTs...

Exactly this. A fresh install of Vegan 5.1.1 and my purchased apps is missing a few (namely mlb11, launcher pro). If I do the market fix I am able to see mlb11 and launcher pro but a couple of apps that were listed before are gone (WII Controller IME, Gravitron live background are examples)
I am able to backup the apk's with titanium backup on my phone and install on my tablet so far when I need to.

[Q] Where is my device in web based market?

I have read nearly all the "Market Fix" threads and can't find an answer to this. And I have tried searching as well, but pulled no results from the gTablet forums, so my apologizes if this seems like a double post of something already discussed.
When I access the Android Market via my pc, it says that I do not have any devices and can not install from there. I can merely browse. Now when I first flashed Vegan 5.1.1, I saw my device but now it's gone. I have not changed my account since I started and signing out and back in has not resolved this.
Also is it normal to have to apply the "fix" on a regular basis? Even before my device disappeared from my web settings, I have noticed a few times that my Market web searches often show results my Market app does not.
Thanks.
Does your tablet still have access to the Market?
While it's not typically needed to do the fix "again", I have read and experienced it myself where the Market seems to have reset itself back to its pre-fixed state.
This happened to me when the Market updated itself from 2.x to 2.x1 or whatever version it pushed down. I had to do the Market Fix again after that....this time quite a few times to make it work.
The Market on your device is designed to show you what apps are available for your device (ie hardware features and OS version) while the view you see from the Web is everything, regardless of hardware/OS version.
Do your Market Fix until you have a significantly "full" market and download something from the Market on your device. Check back on the web and see if you see it.
I've switched ROMs and such and still see my device (though it's name/info has changed on the website).
Thaks for your reply.
The market is accessible from my gTab, the device just does not show up via the web Market (either from pc or DolphinHD).
My big concern is that I will be upgrading my phone to a HTC Inspire this week and I want to make sure the apps I have purchased will be available when I add the new phone. If I don't have a device in the web store, will it effect my ability to get to all my apps?
As long as you use the same gmail account on your phone you should be able to get all the apps you purchased.
Not sure why your tablet does not show on the web market. We have 2 phones and the gtab on the same account, and they all show up on the web.
Maybe you find a solution in google help https://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=1141080 or the tab magically shows up once you have your phone.

[Q] Google search horizontal apps gone?

I really liked the new interface in google search described here:
androidpolice.com/2014/05/28/google-slowly-turning-on-newer-cleaner-app-results-ui-in-search-app/
Google search has now reverted back to the old vertical list.
Everything is updated, google search is from 1/7/2014 version 3.5.15.1254529.arm
Nexus 5 Android 4.4.4, no change uninstalling xposed.
Has this happened to everyone else?

[Q] Browser Issues

I've rooted my G3 and have had issues with pages not displaying in full site views @ all (e.g. Accuweather) or incorrectly (e.g. Google Play) for some time now. I get "Server Error...Connection refused...Error 500" when trying to display pages in full site views in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. Other sites, like Google Play display incorrectly/wonky in full site and mobile views, meaning almost in a pure text view, no page search bar, etc. Also, I've noticed when going to the Weather Channel site, the page language displays English and Chinese/Japanese = odd. I've done a factory reset and still have this issue. I know this wasn't a problem before but I don't know if the rooting or use of of post root apps have done the damage. Right now, all I have are some basic rooted apps - ES File Manager, Cerberus, AdBlock Plus, SuperSU Pro, Titanium Pro, Webkey, Widgetroid, and Tasker. I've searched for answers and even went to LG for help, but nothing is resolving this issue. I'm @ a loss of what to do...anyone help, please?
What browser? I've had weirdness with the AOSP browser(s), never used Dolphin, Firefox, etc.
Chrome, both stable release and beta, work fine, altho I generally do not prefer full site view. If Chrome, perhaps try deleting Data then completely uninstall via Root Explorer / ES File Mgr by deleting the .apk in System/Apps, reboot, and download Chrome from Play Store.
It's the default browser with the phone, which is Chrome. I've tried Dolphin to see if it was Chrome and the same issues show up. It's odd that these problems didn't pop up until recently. I first noticed it when I tried to go from the Accuweather app to a detailed forecast via the app and noticed the full version webpage would not show. The more I looked into the issue, the more sites I noticed similar problems along with the newer issues mentioned.
Will the uninstall/reinstall create any issues since it's the default browser of the phone? I don't know if other parts of the ROM will falter when I try that fix.

Have you tried disabling the ad blocking? I have had problems (on a previous device) like this with certain ad blockers in place.
