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.

The one thing I love on stock NC is the magazine reading experience...those the Nook app offer that?

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'm happy with CM7 on the NC but the Nook Market app is a huge step backwards - it seems designed to frustrate tablet users. In addition to the tiny, unresponsive buttons, the online dictionary is useless when you don't have wifi. Strangely, the iphone Nook app is far more intuitive. This Android design manages to cancel out half the reason to own the thing. I know others have had the same complaints.
So here's the question. Has anyone been able to resurrect the stock Nook ereader software (along with its dictionary) and make it work on CM7? I don't want to go back to a simple rooted Nook or boot from an sd card. To be honest, if I didn't want working bluetooth so badly, I wouldn't have bothered jumping to CM7.
Apologies if this has come up elsewhere - it didn't appear in my search.
Any help would be appreciated.
I second this; I would love to see an actual usable android nook app.
I was just about to post the same thing here, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the NOOK app for Android sucks. It's so bad that I would consider buying all my books through either Amazon or the store that Aldiko uses, because those apps are far superior. Everything about the NOOK app is bad, especially when you try highlighting words/phrases and you can't highlight exactly what you want (it jumps around). I want to support B&N because I love the original NOOK and NOOK Color, but their app is so poorly made.
If the NOOK app doesn't satisfy people here, which app/service have you gone with as a replacement?

I actually like the Nook app WAY better than the Kindle app. The Kindle app doesn't do the page flip animation that the Nook one does and it keeps your spot by position numbers not page numbers. Sorry, I would rather see I was on page 22 than position 715.
I do like the native Nook software better than the app though.
There was talk on this before froyo was supported on the NC. It's basically been dropped.
Here's the link:

EDIT: Accidental thank to the OP...oh well.
What is everyone's thoughts about Google Books? I think it's pretty cool that it syncs your last read page in their "cloud," so it'll be at that spot either on your NC, your phone, or their website. The Android app itself has gotten bad reviews, but I kind of like it. Haven't purchased any books through it yet, but it looks promising.
Still not a big fan of the NOOK app.
The built in Nook Reader is the only reason I still run 1.2 rooted... now I have to find something for my Evo 3D.
I am okay with the app if I could just get the magazines to work. I can see the books, but I primarily like to view the magazines. Is anyone else having this issue? If I could get this fixed I would just stay running the CM7 off the sd card to not void my warranty. If not I might just install on EMMC.

I looked at Maxim real quick when B&N came out with the update that had magazines working. Worked fine for me. What problem are you having?
When I try to download a magazine it tells me that the file type is not supported. I have tried it with different magazines and I get the same error.

Which file type is it?
Is this a magazine bought from B&N? I'm subscribed to both Asimov's and Analog and they work great.
BTW, using an overclock kernel really helps the Nook app speed.
I finally blew away stock and installed to emmc after a few days running OC, makes things tolerable, but I really wish it would resume what I was reading when I open it.
It says it on most of the magazines, like Men's Fitness and GQ. I can run them off the stock but not off the app. I finally installed CM7 on the emmc and tried it then, but still not working. I tried moving it to the SD card to see if that may help, but nope.
I do not know much, but is it just possible to keep the webOS and get the Market and the Apps? I am interest just getting access to the Android market.
No.
Swifted from my Atrix.
In the same way that you cant use xbl on the ps3.

if you want android market, just flash CM7 on it, you can dual boot and keep webOS
That would be SUCH a sick mod. I hate android on my touchpad.
I know it has been discussed time and time again, but I can't seen to find a solid answer. Opera mobile is my browser of choice for my phone and nook. On CM7, on the nook, it displayed in tablet mode, with the tabs and address bar an options menu at the top. Everything was shrunken, and websites like Google came up in tablet mode. Now, on ICS, opera mobile displays in phone mode. Everything is huge, and the tabs and options are at the bottom. It loads the phone versions of websites. Is there any fix at the moment to get it to display in tablet mode, while not ruining market compatibility? I see people posting up modified apk's that are forced tablet versions, so I'm assuming the answer is no, not without changing the screen density and ruining market compatibility, but I just wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

The new ICS kernel (4-9) allows opera mobile to load in tablet mode. It functions well and gives us a browser that plays some website video's.

Will it be included in the nightlies any time soon? Or has it yet to be merged into CM?

It has not been merged yet. Looks like the feedback is mostly positive, so it should be merged soon per "keyodi".
Hey everyone,
Just curious if anyone has had similar troubles as I tried contacting b&n support and got absolutely no where. I can read books on the app however when I try and open the magazines I have in the b&n store it just shows a black screen and I have to kill the app in order to leave. I have the app on my phone and it displays correctly on it. Both are running versions of cm10. Anyone have any ideas??
Tablet info:
11/24 cm10 acclaim
8gb version
Thanks for any help!
Have you try too delete the app and download it out of the play store again?
I just tried mine and it was a bit slow but worked.

Yeah, a couple of times...I might try some other roms to see if that is the issue. I am running v.3.3.0.26.andtbl of the app on my tablet and v3.3.0.26.andmbl on my phone. I have included some screenshots so you can see what I am talking about...
The one that looks like a magazine is the one off of my phone.
The black one and the article views are off of the tablet.
~~ also tried to install the one from my phone onto my tablet with the same results...
~~~this only happens on magazines. Books show up perfect.
I had a similar issue - Try tapping on the black page after you've opened up the magazine (the horizontal list of thumbnails should appear at the bottom w/page numbers) - try clicking on a different page and it should load (albeit slowly). Then see if you can navigate around (swiping page-to-page still doesn't load the next page for me; I have to tap the background to bring up the thumbnails and select the next page from there).
I noticed I'm running the same build nook app and same ROM (11/24 CM10 Acclaim on a 16gb NT), so I'm very curious to see if this works for you.
Yep, sure does
I find that it loads faster if after I have selected the page I bring up the thumbnails again than if I just leave it to load after I select the page. Swyping does change pages and still the thing with the dark screen, but if I bring up the thumbs it will load in about 2 - 4 seconds.
Thanks for the help! Greatly appreciated
