I am running the "Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 CWR for eMMC". I tried Honeycomb on the SD card but it was too slow and didn't want to flash my internal memory with Honeycomb until GA. Most of the applications work quite well. A few don't.
One application that I really want to get working is the Sirius/XM app. I know that many devices have issues with this app. Someone on the "Slatedroid forums" implies that it is related to the Android_ID but this unit (OS) does have a valid Android_ID (although "SIM SERIAL, DEVICE ID and SUBSCRIBER ID are all "null".
Anyway, I am stuck at the infamous "Checking for Updates" screen after attempting to login.
Has anyone gotten past this screen using the Sirius app on the Nook Color running any mod?
Thanks in advance,
JR
I have had the same problem. I cant remember but I think the only time XM worked for me was on the Nook 1.01 software. I havent gotten it to work either. I would love to hear of a workaround as well.
Anyone? There has to be a way to get this working.
I don't supposed changing the "media.stagefright.enable-player" to false in the build.props file would address the "checking for updates". I read a lot about this for issues with streaming issues with the Sirius app when Froyo was just released.
Anyone got this to work?
I finally found the 1.1 version as it was hidden in the market.. but now that it's installed I'm stuck on the "checking for updates" as well

Edit: Sorry I misread. You're on Froyo. Please disregard post.
I don't think this specific problem is limited to Froyo.The thread you highlighted is more about a program closing. That's not what's happening with the Sirius app.
Specially, I'm seeing this on GTab's Vegan Gingerbread ROM myself.
Just to followup on my own reply.. I was wrong
racks11479 solution worked great for me -- or atleast pointed me in the right direction. After patching the framework.jar file found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955847 My Sirius app started up and is currently running 100%
Note I'm running Vegan Gingerbread (which is based off of CM7)..
Not everything is working - for example the USA Today still closes after launch.

Glad it worked somewhat for your device. Cause I have USA Today on my nook CM7 v3 with my patched framework and it launches fine.
Yeah I don't have a nook (I landed here doing a Sirius search) I have the Viewsonic G-Tablet ..
And I got the USA Today to work, I just needed a newer version. I can't get the latest one from the market as it doesn't show up, but I got a newer one than I had and it loaded up and works great now!

Awesome. Yeah it seems that alot of apps will FC due to the CM7 ROM reporting our IMEI/AndroidID as null. And some apps are reliant on it to function properly.

when I get enough posts to allow me to post in the development section ... ... I'll post something in that thread to see about getting this patch integrated into the ROM to make life easier.
Just a heads up. But the CM7 team is fully aware of the issue an is working on getting a permanent fix to the issue so we won't need this workaround anymore.
Is this ever going to be patched? I just upgraded to the latest cm7 stable, and I still have to patch manually
Hi all, first of all, I understand this is my first post and I'm already asking for help and I understand I may have posted this in the incorrect thread, however, today I purchased a the Arnova 10.1 for my fiancée, I had a look at the arctools I see people talking about on forums here and there but it just doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong, am I looking at the wrong forums or searching the wrong things for my tablet.
Basically I'm just hoping someone else has got the same tablet and knows what they're doing, if this is you, I just want to know if I can successfully get the market running and some secondary launcher (ADW, Launcher Pro etc) running without any hickups, also, is root possible? Can CM7 be successfully be installed on the 10.1 and any other cool stuff wouldn't go a miss...
Arctools works, atleast worked for me.
I am like a noob on this tablet. Got it like 2 days back. Turned on wifi, went into arctools, selected the version stock with root, then clicked download, and then it went about installing it. I remember having to leave it at some junk screen while it rebooted twice before showing me home screen on third boot up.
Then I realized one thing: the google apps that weren't installed were installed at this time, with the reason being now the tablet is rooted.
So maybe cos your tablet isn't rooted yet, that app is kinda useless. Some options didn't work for me either, but I am happy it installed a custom rooted rom and installed the base market app and other apps.
I am currently using GoLauncher.
Installed Tibu, and deleted/froze the apps I don't want like stock launcher, etc.
Well... I am just full of questions right now. I am really loving having a standard Android style device but so far I'm not having luck with some of my core applications... Right now (after finding out I can't read magazines) I am looking for a way to watch Hulu Plus. I tried some methods of using Titanium Backup to restore it from a zip here on xda. That didn't work, still says my device is unsupported.
I have had some ideas about using the original build.prop that came with the Nook Tablet. I have gotten rather accustomed to ways of getting APKs that are not available to it.
Any ideas from anyone else would be helpful... If I can't get this to work, I'm thinking a rooted 1.4.2 device is fine with me.
Modified Hulu+ APK
This modified hulu+ apk will work.
Have you tried the stock APK from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23486852&postcount=3 ?
I don't have Hulu Plus, but the Netflix from that post works for me, while the market one has horrible A/V sync issues.
thanks for that thread link i had been looking for the netflix one and that thread had it for me!
Let me know how your apk Netflix performs, because on my NT I had the same experience as with the market one.
I actually changes back to rooted 1.4.2 on my Nook, the magazine issue is what did it. When CM9 gets further downnthe road, I may try it because there is a magazine app called Next Issue that works on Honeycomb.
Thank you all, for all the help, seriously.

Error with downloading from the Google Play Store.
I try to download apps from the Play Store, but all I get is an error message saying Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-7:AEC-0 QYKQ-6R63K]
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using stock 2.3.4 Android.
Thanks.

I believe it's google account related, I think there is an issue with your account and that device, but it is likely temporary and little you can do about.
One option is open a new account and see if that works, does not help if you have paid apps on the first account.
Another option is try a different internet source, like a friends wifi or a cafe that has free wifi
Is this device new to you?
also could try rebooting device, factory reset, reflash firmware with RSD Lite...

Hey there Shadow, I hope you see this. You and your files have been a huge help to me. My S3's screen digitizer failed, and after taking it apart and restoring the original files with odin/heimdall I've decided to use an x2 I bought for $20 bucks about 4 years ago mainly for the sd card and to use it for a remote control/music player.
Since I have to now use it for a phone, I've tried multiple rom's again. Trying to find the best combination of updated android/features and speed/functionality. I've used everything as of late, except eclipse because I've had trouble getting the 2.3.5 update to take, and the rom itself to take after the update. That's a topic for another day, I've used eclipse before but not lately.
Here's my question, sorry for the delay in getting to it. I've installed the JB version of AOKP. AOKP build 6 I think it is. I was going to apply the 2.46 su zip before rebooting but forgot. I did install the ReRecovery zip for cm7 but can't get back into recovery at all. I've done the battery pull, and plug into a charge to no avail. It simply goes into charge mode. I have the hijack boot zip on my sd but can't copy it to system/etc (I think that's where it goes), so I can't get into recovery that way. I believe if I could get my phone rooted, I could get it to go into recovery via the hijack boot zip.
Do you know a way I could get it rooted? I'm about to try a script from the EzSBF That I've extracted and put in my Download folder in Linux. I usually just run the sbf script from Linux when I want to sbf instead of booting a live linux cd. I have never used adb (I should've learned) because I've never had the need. Is there a way to use adb to push the files needed or to install the su zip? I've also tried installing this zip from the built in recovery to no avail.
Also, I use selectel a MVNO that uses Verizon and regional Verizon compatible CDMA towers. Back when I had my DX, if I had to sbf, sometimes I'd have to re-activate. If I had to re-activate, I'd have to drive 40 minutes away to get to a real verizon tower to activate. As the regional carrier wouldn't never activate via *228. I'm afraid if I SBF, I may have to re-activate. Right now, my ride is broke down, so I can't actually drive the 40 minutes to activate. Any other time I'd SBF and be done with it. But not this time. Again, if I can get root on this rom, I'm certain the hijack zip will let me get to cwm. I used the Hijack zip when I was on CM10 A3 but that rom was a bit too slow for me. I went back to CM7 which is faster, and everything works, but a lot of apps require 4.0 or greater to function. One example is Zen Pinball, not necessary but I did pay for a table. There are countless other examples. And I can almost never get the play store to function correctly on CM7 without erroring out. When this happens I uninstall the play store, and sometimes google play services and just use the old market app to search for what I want to install. Are there any root apps you can think of that might work? Or scripts? Or do you know whether or not I'll have to re-activate if I SBF?
Thanks for any input.

And thanks again for your repository of DX/DX2 apps / roms. I do wish you had some eclipse / molten themes in that repo but I realize most all links for those are down.

most roms will not work well on 2.3.5/1.3.418 except eclipse 2.3
downgrade to 2.3.4/1.3.380 if you want anything other than eclipse
don't do updates, just flash with rsd lite or ezSBF
stock recovery is really only good for factory reset
eclipse and cm7 are the only to rom I would try
I don't remember anything about root and AOKP
I can't say for sure about SBF and reactivation, but likely it will be required unless you have a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery
Thanks, I did the sbf and was still activated, so after tapping the four corners I was fine. I wish I had made a nandroid and backed up all the partitions before installing CM7 again. But I didn't.
Do you know of any active threads here where people are still using GB? On CM7 after the play store updates along with play services, the play store no longer works. And play services uses a lot of juice. I've found some alternatives to play services on here which may be a viable alternative, but to get anything from the play store, I have to uninstall or freeze play services, and roll back play store to the stock market. I can use play store version 4.0??? and it works okay but soon updates to 5.8.8 which crashes everytime I open it, and sometimes randomly.

Did you try wiping playstore app data?
Might able to stop play store update with titanium backup using the 'destroy market links' option
A silly mistake on my part.

I did try wiping playstore data, and tried various versions of the play store. I tried wiping and uninstalling play services, which we need for the most part for some apps to work. I'd forgot about the destroy market links option.
The actual answer is here in the hide section, I haven't figured out or rather took the time I guess to make these posts that pretty
BUT... guess what the problem was with the play store not working all along... I never would have thought about it and only discovered it by accident. It turns out that I was using an old theme for GB that I had used since the days of my DX. The Mixer series by MrDSL. I've always loved his themes. Of course everyone has their own taste, but cherry mixer is what really did it for me I've always loved that theme, and always used it on CM7. As soon as I changed themes from the mixer series to Eyecandy or almost any other theme, the Play store started working again.
Thanks very much for you help and for your awesome documents and links on google docs and your collection of files. I can't tell you how many times I've referenced your material. I mean a lot. Sometimes it's much easier to look through your documents than to search through a thread on XDA. or Droidxforums, or anywhere, Rootz seems to be spamed to death.
So I just want give you a huge thank you for all your resources. I found a ton of stuff for the DX and CM7 in general that you can't get because of dead links now. If you want any of it for your collection let me know.
While CM7 runs great, many apps are few and far between. I can't get videos from Youtube to play now. And I have to freeze Youtube anyway to get rid of that pesky sync icon. Seems like I remember another fix for that sync icon but can't remember where, I do know that freezing or uninstalling YouTube fixes it.
I sbf'd again, and again, I didn't have to re-activate. In my opinion just luck again. I've been reading about CM10 and CM9 a lot lately for the DX2 but I can't figure out why the last time I was on CM10 that my DX2 was so painfully slow. This is compared to Kitkat on the DX which should have been slower. Maybe it's because of the lack of support from Nvidia. I'm going to keep reading, but I know I won't get the stability or battery life I do with CM7. At the same time, I'm missing out on so many apps. So, I'm going to keep reading about CM10 A3 which is supposed to be far more stable than CM9, but I've read through posts where people used both as their dailly drivers. The last time I used CM10 A3, the dialer really worked poorly too. And I couldn't get the torch to work in quick settings. No disrespect to DKZ (Dragon Killerz I thnk his name is) without whom I probably wouldn't even have these two choices.
I know you said to run either Eclipse (I downloaded your Eclipse 2.3 nanadroid), but it'd have to be themed. Maybe I could use an xposed module or the Ultimate Online Kitchen. because the links for the Eclipse themes are dead now. I do have the Titanium theme but it's for Eclipse 2.1. There may not be a huge difference, but I'm betting the difference is there which is probably why although it worked, Eclipse didn't run as it should have.
If you have any advice, on CM9 or CM10 please let me know. Or even MIUI based on CM9, I've read good things about it too. but being based on CM9, it'll have the same bugs. Or should have. Some have reported that somethings worked better in MIUI based on CM9 vs CM9 itself. I'm sure I probably just need to stick with CM7, as it was running very well, except that I couldn't watch a youtube video, usually the error given was that "This video could not be played, click to try again" or similar. I've tried removing Youtube, and installing and trying different video players to no avail, as well as, installing different browsers. Again, to no avail.
Thanks again, and if you want APEX with some themes to add to you DX collection or anything let me know. I'm going to be cleaning the drive with those items on there soon and I'll try to make you a list of what I have for the DX. I didn't though away much. I did get rid of some old CM builds for the DX since we have Pooka's CM and the boot menu. I used to run either that or WizardOO's MIUI with his bootmenu.. Personally, I always thought that bootmenu he developed was the bee's knee's. (I'd better not say I thought it was the Shee IT.) I'm sure there are youngin's who read these boards too. And I shouldn't use foul language even though to me they're just words. LIke any other words in the dictionary. They've just acquired a bad connotation through the years kinda like how in Europe, nudity isn't such a big deal, Even in public baths, both men and women used those together. Sorry I got off topic..
Thanks again for your hard work in assembling your collection of lnks and documents. I have to wonder though why you don't include Molten or MIUI in your DX2 listings.
Thanks one more time Shadow....

Now that I've thought about it, maybe the reason youtube isn't playing in CM7 is due to the theme I'm using, but I doubt it.
