Hey guys-
I don't think anyone has asked this one yet, and I can't find an answer in the Dev forums. I know that people had been getting the Nook app (the one from the market) to work with NookieFroyo, but has any had any success getting it to work with Honeycomb on the Nook? I tried installing it today after getting version 2 (which was posted this morning, I believe) to no avail.
I get to sign in and everything and I can even download books, and futz with the settings. But, when I go to read a book it either sits there loading forever, or just crashes outright. Has anyone had any success?

+1 same problem here.
I was about to post this same question. I believe I saw someone in the main honeycomb thread who said they got it working but I can't remember where or who it was. This is really the only thing keeping this from being a daily driver for me.
Same problem for me, but not only does the nook app just sit and spin, but 50% of the time, nook and kindle crash the device every time, and it reboots.

I'm in the same boat. I get a FC when it loads.
Using the 2a build.
It works for me just fine.
This is not antagonistic, but what advantages are there between the Nook and Kindle apps? I'm sure people have a preference, but I've never seen a need to move away from Kindle. (Supporting B&N is a good reason, I suppose.)

And just to be certain, you're on Honeycomb....and you've actually opened a book and gotten text (not just the table of contents)? I'd be very interested in what version of HC you're using. This would be my daily driver if I could get the nook app working. I appreciate any insight you have!

I have B&N nookbooks so that is why I would like to use this.
im on same bout also running nookhoney v3 get main screen get library and also download books but it hangs on opening book or get a FC. shop opens but havent tried to purchase anything yet.
For me, I use B&N and have friends that use B&N. We use the LendMe feature, which saves me some cash here and there. On the Kindle side, my wife lovers her Kindle, and I sync my Kindle app with her account, and we share books that way.
It's working!!!!
I am running v3 of deeper_blue's HC image and the Nook app works for me. Finally. And I am not sure how or why, it just started to work. I could get to my library before and I could download my book(s). But previously, I would try to open the book and it didn't seem to load, only the never ending circle.
The page loads, I can turn pages, bookmark them, close out, come back to the same page, go to the table of contents, skip to a chapter, etc.
I did change the screen to NOT auto-rotate. I was getting FCs when the screen would flip around between apps, so I shut it off. I am not sure if that helped, but that is one thing that is different now v. before.
(on the other subject: I like all the readers - B&N, kindle, and google books. They are all fine. I like the features that are offered by the NC for the B&N books the best, but they all work fine and read fine )
Great news. I also see that Honeycomb v04 was posted today and it specifically addresses problems with the nook and kindle apps. I'm really glad this is finally fixed. I read quite a bit and the lack of a nook app kept me from using HC as my daily driver.

Nook app definately works in HC v4.
But NO magainzes or newspapers in the app. Very disappointing.
Weird I MUCH prefer the app reader experience with the turning pages, etc. but the stock NC is the only thing I have seen let me access the newspapers and magazines
what about the nook color reader app
Is there any way to get the reading app that is on the internal memory to work with HC? Theat would be ideal and the NC would then be just about perfect!

Hi Peter,
Nook app on HC v4 works great for me. It syncs BN library pretty quickly as well.
I tried unmounting uSD before installing it (and several other apps giving FCs) and it worked. Now its my standard ePub reader again.
Good luck m8!
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
Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965301
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.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
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
i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA

I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
I rooted my Nook a couple weeks ago, but I did not debloat. However, when a notification to update Netflix came up, I think I did the update. Now, the sound is not quite in sync with the picture. Is there a way to tell if I am using the "special" Netflix that came loaded on the NT or if I am using the standard Android Market downloaded app? I'm truthfully not sure that the out-of-sync issue started after this update, but I know it was not there prior when I originally got the NT and watched a couple of videos prior to rooting.
Edit:
Oh, and I did the update while at the GoLauncher home, not the NT home (if that matters). Also, the Amazon viewer does not have this issue at all and works great (after doing the temporary unroot thingy).
I am using the stock Nook app (i.e. not from the android market) and I noticed an out of sync video the other day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the app though. Haven't really looked into it otherwise.
I was watching Netflix on my computer last night and it was all out of sync, I wonder if it is a Netflix issue and not a NT issue?
Watched a show on my computer at lunch and watching a show on my TV thru the Roku right now and both synced perfectly.
I've noticed some shows and videos (sometimes) are like this, try another movie, could be just a temporary problem since netflix is working well on my nt.
This is a problem that I've run into on all of my streaming devices with Netflix. If you go into your account (on the Netflix website) and look at your recently watched list, you can report Audio/Video sync issues.
I've got to believe it's an app (or app plus device) issue since the same movie streams fine on my computer and Roku. Checked my wifi on the NT with Speedtest and I got 16 mb/s download speed, so I doubt that is any problem either.
Does anyone know if it's even possible to update over the "stock" NT Netflix app?

I read that if you leave the actual app in it's original install location and create a symbolic link in system/apps, then you're good to go on updates.
Thoughts?

I haven't heard that, but it makes sense. However Netflix is installed to /system/app by default (by B&N), so you'd have to move it out if you wanted updates.

So it sounds like I still have the stock app. Has anyone else had problems with the audio being slightly out of sync.
On my NT it goes out of sync for the first 30 secs maybe then usually catches up.

I am on rooted stock 1.4.0 and the Market is suddenly showing a Netflix update for me.
Very strange. I'd prefer to keep the stcok version.
Just watched 30 minutes of Airplane on the new Netflix app, works great! Im 999 rooted, not Cm7 presently.
I'm also getting an update message from the stock netflix app. Anyone know if i should upgrade? It won't replace the stock version with the market version or anything, will it?

I wish I knew. For now, I'm not going to. I have unchecked the auto update option and that seems to have prevented it so far. Just have to make sure I don't accidentally hit it when I have other updates to process.
Unrooted new nook and audio vidio sync
My new nook which I have yet to operate on has had a/v sync issues with some movies from Netflix. So I suspect it is them, not the NT.
One other thing I have noticed is frequent pauses for buffering, like every five minutes. It is running through our home WiFi (which I use through the TV with a Wii, which will pause for uploading maybe two to four times during the movie.) Do others have this? Is there any remedy for this, or will an SD card help?
every time i reboot my nook, it says there's an update for netflix in the market. no matter if i update or not it always goes back to the stock app. i have the same problem with pandora and hulu plus only i have two copies of pandora and hulu plus has been uninstalled more times than i can remember. any fixes?
I am pretty sure stock version comes in 1080p as where the market is not, however Im not completely sure just use titanium to make a back of the original and then freeze it, install the market version and check out the difference your self, if you find it to not to work out as well uninstall and restore the version that came with your nook.

Anyone else having issues with the new Google Play Market? Literally every app I open up reads as incompatible with my device. Is this the case for anyone else? I'm currently on Vegan Froyo... is this just an issue for this ROM, or is it with all roms? Personally its becoming incredibly frustrating; many of my existing apps don't update, I'm forced to scour the dark ends of the internet for apks of paid apps I already own.
I tried the Market fix.. but that seems to have made issues worse. Any hope??

What apps fail? Give some examples so that others can
tell you if they work on their Vegan Froyo. Apparently
tapatalk works for you .
What is "ro.product.device=" in your /system/build.prop ?
A bad value/corruption there can cause incompatible messages.
I am on TNT Lite, which a Froyo distribution, and Google Play
works without any problems.
This is when an old CWM backup might have helped. Do you have any around?
My latest magic bullet for Froyo is "Fix Permissions" from CWM.
Give it a shot if all else fails.

I also am having a ton of issues with the new and "improved" google experience... the playstore will not load at all on my gtablet. I am running gtabcombover and really like the ROM... it was flawless until the market went stupid on us.
as soon as i try to open the app, i get the "accept" button but before I can even push it, the thing FC's and no matter what I cant make it even initialize. I am really hoping there is a painless and simple fix for this mess. And even more hoping that google hasnt completely cut all rooted devices out of the loop!
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
I'm having the same problem as the OP, except I'm using Roebeet's TnT Lite Froyo ROM. I've also tried the Market fix with no luck. Any ideas for solving the problem would be appreciated.
Every app that needs to be updated comes back with a "incompatible with your device" error. Market fix didn't make things worse for me, just didn't help much. I'll have more time for experimenting over the weekend, and, will post if I find an answer. Hopefully it's not due to Google Play seeing it as being a rooted device.
It's probably not because the device is rooted. I am running G-harmony and play works fine for me.
Google Market updated itself to the Google Play store without any problem on both VEGAn-TAB 7.1 and GtabCombOver 3.4.2. I was also able to update all of my apps as usual.
I'm using cm7 rc1 and market is hosed. I have tons of paid apps that are "incompatible" and wont update. I tried build.prop edits but nothing is working. If VeganTAB 7 is working I may switch back to it. Was using beastys rom and Google play made it so half my apps wouldn't update that's why I tried cm7.
Update:
VeganTAB 7 works great with Google play and all my apps updated.

Try this suggestion out the next time around, instead of resorting to installing a different ROM.
Google Woes 2
I have a rooted G-Tab with Calkulin’s ROM v1.1 and clemsyn 2.6.32.9 kernel. Everything was running great with no problems. Google changed to Google Play and something has happened with the authenication. Downloads fail (all of them) and the Market fix does not work.
Gtab using Flashback 10.3 Google play
Similar issues here as well, My apps are updating ok but when I go to open Google Play to search for an app it crashes/forces closes. Been searching threads and found none that give clear fixes for this. THANKS GOOGLE!!!!
@aNiMeMaN14
If you know how to edit the build.prop you could try to edit the line for the manufacturer replace what's there with Samsung just remember to make a note of what was there to start. It worked for me but I'm on the DRH ice rom you you may not see it in the overall search but in you put in the name of the app you want it should come up and allow you to download n install. REMEMBER IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DONT DO IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE COULD CAUSE YOU TO NVFLASH AND REBUILD FROM START HAVE BACKUP. TRY THE ONE IN THE CWM ROM.
there is a modded market available now thanks to the people here on Xda
