I somehow lost the stock Nook "My Media" app. Can someone post up an apk so I don't have to reset in order to get it back?
Here you go...

be advised, Indirect has a much cooler setup than the default.

Thanks!!! Just what I was looking for.
Mind putting the APK up again? The link's dead...
I do prefer Indirect's set-up, but I can't access my screenshots through the 3D Gallery.

If you ever lose a system app again, you can do an "adb push" from your computer. Just download the firmware and unzip it and you will find the files you need. Getting the file posted can be easier but not having to wait for someone to respond can be quicker.

Related question... when I try to add an attachment to an email the "My Media" is the only option remotely close to being able to browse for a file - how do I replace it with (or simply add) a real file browser?
Also, where can I put a file so that it actually shows up in My Media???
Couldn't you just use ES Explorer or any file manager with root access and reinstall the gallery.apk located in "System\App"?
Or maybe I'm missing something.

Is that the Nook Gallery ("My Media") or the standard Android Gallery app?
I'm trying to replace the crappy and very limited Nook one...
Would I just install another gallery to replace the My Media?
EDIT: I just clicked on it and chose install, I guess it IS the "My Media". Have you used "My Media"? I want something like a regular browser that let's me attach files (when sending emails) other than just the pictures that come with the NT.... Also would like a gallery type browser in addition to the Root Browser I have installed...
With Enhanced Email, I can attach any type file from anywhere using Gallery, My Media, Quickoffice, sound recorder or any of my file managers.
help?

I'd like to reinstall a couple of things I de-blated prematurely. Thanks for any help any of you have.

This is not an app as you need all of the app for it to work. To get it to work, put the app in system/app foder using any root explorer that works, like androotfile. Then use astro to oull the lib from the apk, and then place the lib into system/lib. Then you need to go back to astro and remove the lib folder in the apk file. This method worked for me. Jumper test app opens but i cant get it to connect or sync. This was my method, hope you enjoy.

are you putting libjumper.so in /system/lib/ or in /system/lib/armeabi-v7a/ ?
EDIT:
works for me putting libjumper.so in /system/lib/ . FC on me if i start it up in portrait mode; weird. works and looks nice in landscape. some screens work in portrait, but not the library listings.
I'm not sure I needed to remove the /lib from the apk, but thanks nonetheless!
craby -- did you go to settings, accounts & sync, and check "Music"? i got it working on my Nexus One just to test, but i didn't try on the nook.
woo, i just tried it and it works. That's awesome. Yet again i learn something new every day... To go stream music away!
Just saw this thread, but not sure I understand it. I am on Sam's build of HC v4.0, 2nd ed. EMMC. Going out on a limb here and saying this is a diff music player than the one that comes with it? If so, where can I get the new music app in order to check it out? Thanks.

Hello all, I was hoping someone may have run into this and might could give me some feedback.
I have my phone rooted, and use Handcent for texting. I have no problems sending pictures......and up until recently, I've had no problems receiving pictures either. At first I thought it was just going to be iPhone users, but have since experienced the problem getting pics from various phones and carriers.
iPhone4 - Verizon
iPhone3 - AT&T
Samsung Eternity - AT&T
There are a few others as well. I have disabled the original messaging app, and only use Handcent. I've had no problems until the past couple of weeks. I am wondering if maybe it isn't an update issue from Handcent......I know it has manually updated a couple of times in the past few weeks.
Anyone have any suggestions?
What do you mean when you say you disabled the original app?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Firmware 2.1update1
Kernel 2.6.29
I rooted simply to remove bloatware, I haven't changed to any of the different ROM's or anything.
I deleted MMS.apk. I wanted to try to reinstall it, to see if maybe one of the Handcent updates caused the problem somehow, after I deleted the MMS app......but I can't get it to install. I downloaded the MMS.apk on my desktop, and open it through MyFiles. I've done a few apps this way, no problem.
MMS.apk you have to push to /system/app
You cant install it like you would a normal apk.

You can install it with ESFile Explorer if you are rooted. You can find it on the market for free. You'll then need to find a mms.apk place it on your sdcard.. then using ESFile copy the apk and place it in system/apps/
Another option would be to download GeekSMS.. it runs on its on without the mms.apk. I've tried it and it worked fine for me.

Ok, figured out how to paste in RootExplorer.
Now that I did that, I ran MMS after pasting......it still won't install. It boots like its going to install the app, then I get a message saying it didn't install. I got the same thing when I just copied the APK into MyFiles and tried installing it.
What am I missing?
You're not supposed to try and install it. You move it into the /system/app and then it should show up in your app drawer.

Oke i know that the origenel Facebook from the market doesen't work that well on the Tab.
So i have tryed to install an old version of Facebook, wiche i have also on my SGSII, This version is the only one for me that gets all the newsfeed etc!
So i dowload the Facebook.apk (1.5.4) Then i used root explorer to move the apk.file to system/apps, then i clicked on the file and choose install!
It works great on my tab 10.1 (GT-7510) its works smooth and fast!

EDIT 2: Yep it was, I fixed it.
Looks like its working great, thanks for the download.

I find it easier to just adb install it since my GT is already connected to the computer and I'm on the computer. No need to take all the extra time to move to SD card, open an app, move the file to system, then install it.
For those of you who don't know how to do this:
1. Connect the device to your computer with USB Debugging enabled
2. Open command prompt and type "cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools" (or wherever your Android SDK adb files are)
3. Type "adb devices" and make sure it's reading your device
4. Put the .apk into the root of your C: drive if you haven't already. (of course you don't HAVE to if you know what you're doing and are comfortable doing it)
5. Type in command prompt "adb install c:\Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk"
6. Wait for it to install successfully, unplug your device, and you should have the App in your App Drawer.
Note1: If you already have a facebook app installed, you might have to uninstall before doing this.
Note2: Don't add the quotes when typing in Command Prompt, just type what's inside the quotes.

I havent had that issue. Being rooted shouldnt change anything because it doesnt need superuser permissions.
Well first i instald it like the normal way, it worked... Except the notifications, when i looked furthure i saw that the apk file did't show up in system/apps.
Show the instalation worked but diden't push the file tru!
So then i removed the app, and thoke the apk file and copy it to system/apps by using root explorer. Then i clicked the apk file in system/apps and select instal, basecly its same instalation but now youre sure the file is pushed where it shoud be right?

Correct. Does it work fine after doing that?
Why would it matter at all if you install this normally or push into system/app? I don't think with an app like FB that it matters...installing the apk normally seems to be the same as getting it from the Market..
best FB app is the browser. no need for an extra app to access FB, IMO.

Looked all through my SD card and did not find what I was looking for (I don't have a /sdcard/Download directory BTW). I'm looking for the ATVAndroidClient Amazon Video apk, because I saw one post where the user got it to successfully install when selected directly from its directory location. I too am having trouble getting it to install when I just select it from the popup window after it's dl'd.
The directory structure is pretty annoying on this (and I guess android). I find multiple (3,4,5+) locations for downloads (and books, media, etc). Each browser puts it somewhere else, etc usually without asking. Anyway, easiest thing to do is to do a search with a file manager (root explorer, file expert) to find where you downloaded something.
It is in /cache as downloadfile.apk

Alright! I am glad you kept trying and finally got it figured out. Very cool.
I am looking for 3 things.
1. Is there a way to disable video uploading? I only want to back up photos.
2. Is there a way to force dropbox to only upload when connected to a charger? I find the lack of this option in the app to be ridiculous really. I thought dropbox would be a fairly mature app by now.
3. How can I disable the uploading of the screenshot folder? I really have no need to back up these and it just clutters the camera upload folder.
I am rooted so if there is any root way to do it then do tell me. And if there is some other service that can provide me with all these features then do tell as well.
Thanks.
The first two can't really be solved, unless dropbox adds that functionality. For the third one you could try adding .nomedia file to screenshots folder and see what dropbox does about it. .nomedia file hides particular folder from being searchable by android aps like gallery and music, so it might work for dropbox too. Worth a try. You still would be able to access screenshots through file manager
