I tried to install facebook for android on my rooted NT today but received an error message saying that it is not compatible with this device. Is there a work around?
I used share my applications app on my phone., made a back up to my sd, uploaded to dropbox. Then I opened up dropbox on my nook downloaded the app and installed.
Im using an app called facebook 2.0
I actually like it better than the official app

Is there another way? I do not have an android phone...just this nook tablet...
Search the web for the most recent apk (I'm pretty sure it's linked on this site in the must-have apps thread) and side-load install it.
yeah i was wrong, the 1.5.4 version (found in the essential apps post) works just fine.

I can't find it... please can you share the link? Thanks.
"Facebook 2.0" has been pulled from markets, since it uses the FB name but isn't the official FB app. Google to find.

I've installed the memo app and it does work however there is a lot of force close.
More specifically, at every instance the app returns to the main screen after reading or creating a memo.

I'm confused why Facebook is here. Why wouldn't you just download from the market?

Because, for some reason, the facebook login will fail and give you a "please try again later" message. Does "Facebook for Android" App from Market work on your SGT 10.1?
The Facebook 1.6 apk floating around works fine on my tab

I downloaded Facebook from the market and it works just fine. I probably downloaded it the day the retail unit came out or possibly the day after. I have updated it to the latest version too.
Trying to download the Amazon App Store but the d/l keeps timing out. Anyone have any success in installing this?
I had the same problem. I was thinking of just sideloading the app and seeing if that works.
Edit: I just downloaded on my desktop, sent to my gmail and it installed fine. Not sure what the problem was. Now it works though.
I was able to download and install without any problems, but this was 1-2 weeks ago
If anybody else was wondering what happens to your apps if you have more than one device.... Any app you ever downloaded (even free app of the day) shows up as available for you to download. Nice! I was not liking the stupid ad during Angry Birds!
I installed this Monday with no problem. It is great to have all your apps.

I had the same problem on Monday. I downloaded the app to my desktop, moved it over to DropBox and then installed on the tablet via Dropbox. I still have the .apk file if anyone needs it.

is this better than google's own market place? what are the advantages? are tablet optimized apps easier to find?
Well for one thing they offer one paid app for free every day. Also, they've been known to run "specials". The biggest problem I've had with them is that you need to check 2 locations for app updates. I've been on the Amazon App Store since the day it opened.

thanks! much appreciated.
why can't we see certain apps like this and Netflix on the app store?
If you where able to click the link, and the market displayed the application, then it means you probably overlooked it during your search. As for netflix the new update wouldn't show for me either.

By default, it will not show up because it needs fine-grained GPS.. which the Nook Color does not have.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Google has chosen to enforce device requirements on the app, so now it won't list from the market on an unsupported device.
Accessing from the web browser, you'll see the following:
"This app is incompatible with your Bn NookColor" Note: if you renamed your device, it may not show the same device name, but it's the same result.
Same with Netflix and other apps you can't get on the device. However, if you'd downloaded the APK before this, you can still see it on your market. However, I've not received any new updates, so either no updates or it won't update if not available for the device in question.

I have G+ on both my Droid X and NC (I just made a backup of the .apk on the DX using "My Backup Pro" and moved it to the NC). I have not seen an update on my DX since 1.0.2, so I don't believe there has been an update in a couple weeks.
Hi,
The market does not let me update the Amazon app and Flipboard app. Is there any trick to get it running? Or can I download the newest version of the apps anywhere else?

Not sure about the Amazon app but for Flipboard you can search for the apk and side load or get it from someone else's phone because it's not optimized for tablets yet

I downloaded Flipboard else where on the internet. But you can also try to download it from the play store on other devices that support it. Then use file explorer or some other app go under the phone memory, find this file ->/data/app. It will show you the apk files that you have downloaded on your phone from the play store. Now you can easily copy the apks you want to the sd card and send it over to the TP. (send directly with bluetooth is the easiest way).
Amazon app download

As we all know, Facebook for Android sucks. 1.9.12 was the last that worked for me allowing sharing, statuses, etc before the latest version broke all that.
The following link contains downloads of old versions.
Delete current Facebook for Android (if latest)
DL apk and install like normal
DO NOT UPDATE through play store when it says you have an update. You'll be back at the new crap version.

@ OP- thanks!
It would be worth mentioning, that many other older apps work in devices not supported by googlePlay service.
For those wanting the last version before the current UI layout, the v7.0.0.22.28 are the one and its the best. Its when FB added capability to post pix in comments and other features, luckily, before the UI change. http://techloverhd.com/2014/03/facebook-7-0-0-22-28-app-download-for-android-apk/

Thanks bro, this fixed a lot of issues on my Galaxy nexus
well it seems that version 7 works for those who are missing messenger inside the facebook app it works well, good for old device
I've just been resetting/clearing faceaches data and cache to bypass the messenger download necessity, yes you still get the soon moving to messenger warning prompt but still not using messenger and on latest release again lol.
Regards as always
I wonder why are they pushing the messenger app now.
They been doing it for months ;(
Regards as always
Just use google translate this site. It does have facebook 3.7 version which didn't request the messenger and the file size 30% smaller than current version.

Thank you so much. The new version forces you to use their stupid messaging app that wants permissions to everything (even to my fridge).lol
