I used acclaim_update.zip, but I can't get android market to stop crashing? i have Amazon Market working.....no gapps...what I am i doing wrong?
Do you mean you used acclaim update to push your NT back to 1.4.0 from 1.4.1? Which rooting method did you use, because Indirect's Nook&Zergy, the sd card by Brianf21/Indirect's should include gapps as well. In general it sounds like it wasn't run over well, might be best to unroot and reroot the device.
Sorry, I'm not rooted. I unrooted because I couldn't see my books from Nook app, so I enabled USB bugging, and installed the Amazon market, and the rest of my .apk's. Its there a way to install Android market without root, because full root I wasn't able to see my books I purchased

I was trying to exploit acclaim_update.zip, but changing a few things around to see if I can get Android market without doing a full root.......Sorry for the confusion.......
Using the Nook&Zergy to root your stock device should have no hindrance with B&N content. I used all of their stuff until I put CM7 on my NT. Also, the market will not work on a stock/unrooted device.
can u direct me to what nook&zergy you used that allowed you to use the B&N book reading? because when i did it, i could not.

I finally gave in and roted my Nook Tablet to gain access to the Android Market. A developer on here, Albert Wertz (albertwertz) makes videos (and SD cards if needed) available that tell you exactly how-to.
I bought a Nook Tablet last weekend, and got fed up trying the various work-arounds to get into the Android Market. I was able to sideload a few apps that I found here and there, but after all that, it still wasn't the tablet I'd hoped for, especially for the price.
I watched Albert's videos SEVERAL times, flashed a 32 Gb SD card I already had, and it worked GREAT! I couldn't be happier about the results! I logged straight into teh Android MArket, and can still do the B&N store as well.
I shot Albert a few bucks in appreciation for his help. Please remember to do do the same!
okay im going to give it a try tonight, I'll let know how it goes

Your phone is void! If its not powered by Android.........
Let me guess, you're using the free version? You can use the paid version, the website, or get TapaTalk (which is free on GetJar).
Couldn't find the app on getjar.....do tippy have a link

I finally decided to try out Watching a movie via the market, excuse me, via play ;-) and I noticed that it wasn't working so I decideed to look it up and saw what I had assumed was true: I can't watch it because I'm rooted. Just now I decided to try it on my rooted Asus Transformer and to my surprise it worked perfectly!

I saw the hiders, just curious why it worked on one rooted device and not another.
Could be that the other devices don't look rooted to the app for some reason.
I've used OTA Rootkeeper to use it and Amazon Prime Video with success.

Question about angry birds space not showing in my library. I am rooted on stock 1.4.0 and I have purchased books with no problem. Purchased this and it isn't showing up for some reason? Any suggestions on what I could try? I have the purchase email and the status is shipped so it should show up.
Edit: It says it is not supported yet I downloaded from B&N? I am surprised I could download it from their site and not have it work?

I bought it from Amazon yesterday (99 cents) and it works fine. 16 GB NT, rooted, running Veronica's Ribbon ICS rom.
And the price beats the heck out of what B&N is charging.
It seems awfully short though. I blew through all the levels in no time.
I downloaded the ad supported version of it to my phone, then copied the apk to my tablet and it runs just fine. Rooted 1.4.0 I believe that b&n has an agreement not to allow the free versions to force you to buy them through the nookmarket at higher than normal prices.

Here's my second Noob Question of the day, Do I need a Rooted Phone to Copy the APK file and transfer it to my Tablet?? And if not How would I go about doing that??
I have just switched my BuildProp to Droid3 and was hoping that would open it up but no such luck there.. Figure I'd try something else before I brick this thing..
And since I don't see anybody talking about where to D/L APK files, I'm guessing it's not a topic of discussion around here, so I'll stay away from that..
Thanks for the help..
@Watersoldier, Yes, you would need a rooted phone if you want to copy the legitimate copy of angry birds from your phone to the nook.
Downloading apk is fine for discussion, it's just that discussing about warez (pirated/illegal uploads of paid apps) are taboo. There a lot of websites that hold apk of free apps. apktop or even just a simple google can yield a good amount of results. The best way is to try and go to directly to the dev's website, and if its free, you can get it from there.
Just installed the premium version for .99 from Google Play on my rooted Nook Tablet. Works great.

Hello,
I have an unlocked and rooted TF201. I don't really need to be rooted - I liked having control over my device, but can live without it.
Questions:
1) Is there a way to "trick" Google Movies app to thinking I'm not rooted?
(I've tried unrooting with ViperMod, didn't work. I've also tried using the recompiled movies app someone else posted -- FC'd each time I tried to run it)
2) Is there a way to revert back to an unrooted ROM?
(Several similar posts warn that trying to do so will result in a hard brick)
Thank you!
Yes and no. You can download ota root keeper and select temp uninstall root which will temporarily unroot your device but Google movies will still not work. You can use an app called mspot to rent movies. I believe they're in HD too! Hope this helps!
Just to be clear being rooted does NOT stop one from using Google movies. Only unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for the clarification, Lock-N-Load.
So, as far as you know, once someone unlocks their device (Asus Transformer Prime), no more downloaded Google Movies. Correct?

Is it possible to rent google movies or mspot movies on unlocked prime?
No. When you unlock your Prime it disables your DRM license (a program put in place to prevent theft of movies rented/bought through the Google Play Store).
(Not sure about mspot, not sure what it is)
Do u think something like a hacked apk or a relock hack will be or can be developed
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
As far as I know the DRM license can't be reforged :/
(Plus it's virtually impossible to relock, because it changes the structure of your system)
Was it a mistake to unlock my prime .Thanks
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
well, have you done anything to your tablet that required the unlocking (flashing kernals, roms, etc)?
If yes, then it wasn't a mistake and you didn't consider the repercussions, like google movies no longer working
If no, then you just unlocked it because it was available and yes, it was a serious mistake and there is nothing you can do.
Yes you can rent movies

Yes it is possible, get the ota rootkeeper app by supercurio. Its free n the Play Store. With the app you can follow directions to unroot watch a movie and the reroot when needed.
I believe what the play movie app checks for is root access.
It worked for me.

Again, I'm not sure this is still true but the google movies app definitely used to explicitly check for su. It was visible in smali. It would check $PATH then also check a couple of hard coded paths. I'm guessing it does more than this now but this used to be the case.

I just read an old thread from when I first got this about getting to the 11 gigs. The thread ended with no real answer. Is there a newer way to get the full space of the NT with out using the mount app? My Nook is also outdated and im going to update cwm . Can I now do this with out the sd card? I don't give two craps about ever going back to stock.
Just seen the thread below mine, I take it that will free up the 11 gigs.
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda premium
Well, I've been using the CWM from Indirect's app since the first day it was released. If you have a 16GB NT, I see no real reason to have to update.
As for getting the rest of your storage space, you can either get half of it by taking your NT into a Barnes and Noble. Or you could do it manual and choose for yourself how much you want partitioned and where. Here's the how-to: click me.
