i have noticed that alot of the apps i have on my phone do not show up in the market on the nook. actually at most it only shows maybe 15-20 apps per category. i do a search for a app and it dont show up either. flash for instance does not exist in the market. anyone know why
turn the nook to landscape and more will show up. or install the new market.

I don't know why this.is happening, although I am having the same problem. I just started taking the apks from /data on my phone and loading them onto the nook and installing them that way. Its more complicated than using the market, but not a whole lot more complicated.!

irnoically turning it landscape mode worked as for showing up more apps lol. no clue why but it worked. it still wont find half the apps i have on my phone. like flash wont show up which is kind of important when using the web to its full. can you use astro to instal apps on this like you can on a phone? or is there some different procedure
There's another post in the nook forums which basically states to install "fastweb installer" and "AppBrain App Market". This worked for me and allowed me to find programs like Trillian (but at that price, @#[email protected]#$ that).
I don't think there's an overly usable flash at this point. You'll need to wait for 2.2 from B&N or the NookDevs.
The market on the NOOKcolor, even if it looks like the new market, will only show applications that conform to the Android API 7 API level (2.1 and below). FroYo apps all conform to the Android API 8, so they won't show up on your nook unless you drop FroYo onto it.

Using Root Explorer, I changed the System/App folder to R/W and was then able to upgrade the current Marketplace to the newer APK that is floating around the forums. With the new marketplace all apps are showing without needing to turn the screen to landscape.

The problem stated in this thread isn't about the ability to scroll lists in portrait or landscape, rather it is about the ability to see apps that other devices can find.
Two I have seen that immediately come to mind: searching for Firefox, and searching for Trillian (which was a rude way to find out Trillian is both out of beta and now rather expensive, dammit).
Neither will show up on the NC, but show up as the first result on my Droid.
And my NC is also running the latest iteration of Market.

Well, I know flash doesn't show up because it's not (yet) supported on NC. Maybe Firefox and Trillian don't show up for the same reason?

Some people are saying these apps, and others, are showing up for them no problem.

Are these people that are running nookie froyo, or stock 2.1?
All the apps will show up in nookie. They shouldn't in stock 2.1.
Worked on Nootered and Nookie Froyo .59 with new Market
I had the same issue and followed these insturctions from (i think) the original Nootered thread, but cant remember for sure.
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
then
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data -> Force Close
reboot
After that SliceIt, Minimalistic Text, and others that were not available previously appear.

Have had nothing but fun playing with the nook. Even formatting my microsd card in the nook and ending up with it not turning on for a day till I repartitioned the storage didn't make me think it was not worth the effort. Compared to a $600 Galaxy Tab the nook is a bargain and well worth all the love bestowed on it IMHO.
fyi just clearing the market cache made some apps i couldn't find before appear. so even if the google framework is non existent in some like mine clearing cache does help
Google framework is not listed on my apps list. Im trying to download games such as angry birds and rocket bunnies but they don't show up
I use this on my phone and is my preferred reader. The main window with the list of feeds...and even the feed headlines themselves fill the whole screen of the nook. But as soon as you click an article, it shrinks down to phone screen size on the very top of the nook. Is there a way to keep the articles the same full screen as the rest of the app??
unfortunately no... the dpi needed to get the market to work kills the reader. I use greader pro (there is a free version). it works quite well.

Google Reader works with a dpi of 160. Market works with a dpi of 161. CM7 defaults to 161. You can use LCDDensity to change the dpi until next reboot.
Google Reader with a dpi of 161 shrinks articles. Market with a dpi of 160 will not show you updates or let you install from the web page, only from the market app.
I chose a dpi of 160 in my build.prop and then temporarily change to 161 once in a while to do Market updates.

missing icons
I have a different problem with Google Books. I just installed it today on my NC which is rooted with Manual Nooter 4.5.6. I can download and read books without any problems. But there's no way to access the settings while I'm reading a book. There are supposed to be icons for settings and maybe other things, to allow me to click and then change the font or whatever. But those icons don't appear. I can tap the middle of the page and access the sliding bar that allows me to change my place. But I can't easily choose a chapter, change a font, or access any such setting. Anyone else notice this? Any ideas?
Silly me - I just solved my problem! I remembered that I have SoftKeys! If I run SoftKeys first, I can access the settings menu while reading! So, if anyone else has this problem, get SoftKeys!
When the market 'doesn't work' with a 160dpi, what's the behavior?

From the Android market on the device, it will not show you your installed applications and you will not be notified of updates. From your device you can install applications.
From the Android market on your desktop, you can not initiate installs of applications.
Frank
That's...odd. But you're right, my installed application list on the market is indeed empty.
Any clue why? I can't imagine why it would be deliberately tied to DPI (I could see using it to distinguish a phone from a tablet, maybe, but this is strange!)
Rodney
One more data point - I have the dpi set to 200 in build.prop. I don't have any problems with the market or with Google Reader. I'm running CM7.0.3 stable.
Is 200 what HC4 uses? Google Reader works fine with Honeycomb, however I prefer Phiremod which exhibits this problem.
Is there another difference that would cause this?

Interesting, I tried 180, and 200 and they didn't work with Google Reader. On a whim I tried 140 and both Google Reader and Market are currently working after clearing Market data. But Market stopped working after a few updates..
Frank
I still can't get articles to open full-screen with Reader and Phiremod. I would be fine with using a different RSS app, however I love that Google Reader marks your articles as unread so they don't show up when I check the website, my phone, etc. If any other RSS app has this functionality, please share the info!
V3.1.3 update:
# Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
(for all devices – does not require root, but you do need to enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ in Settings-> Applications.)
There’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
I've stuck with old one as the new one seems a bit laggy. Or is this newer than what was uploaded here a month ago?

This is the LATEST one from today/yesterday.
Version number for the one uploaded a month ago is 3.0.26 & 3.0.27.
How safe can those supposedly leaked market apps be.
And what a neat trick it is to tell that "Google rolled out a new market.". Then it is proclaimed as a leak. A Google rolled out a leak? With this verbal lingo maybe some people fall to that trick, so let it be said out clearly. Google has not released this app.
Why would official apps require "Unknown Sources" switched on. Only a hacked market app needs that and not official one.
Trusting your credit card info to such an app?
Big deal with those market upgrades provided by those hacked market apps. I rather have official market and know my apps and my credit card are safely mine only.
i tried it and its just the same as one a month ago
Thanks a lot for the .apk mate, it worked like a charm!
Many, many thanks!
Works great. Thanks.

Anyone please help!
Suddenly my Market force closes whenever I try to open or download something.
I do all kind of tricks: Clear data, clear cache, reinstall,... but they didnt help at all.
I tried installing from oldest to latest versions but they all had same problem.
Now I just cannot use my Market to download apps anymore.
Please help me! Thank you so much!
Sent from my SE Xperia ARC!
Go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Uninstall Updates.
That should do the trick.
Amazing update !!
I just got Vegan Tab 7.1 and LOVE IT... the UI is fantastic!
However, there seems to be an issue with several if not most of my apps on the Android Market. I get the message "This item is not compatible with your device"
All of these apps I have used with previous roms including Vegan tab 7.0.3 and Cyanogen Mod 7.1
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
clear market data, then try again.... worked for me
Good Call, I should have thought of that.
Clearing data is only only a temporary fix (at least for me). A few hours later Market updates and I get the "not compatible" message again.
I clear data again and later it again updates.
The other solution seems to be to freeze the market updater.
That happend to me too...
I did go back to Harmony ROM.
one of the reason;
When using the Android Market website, a device will be grayed out if it isn’t compatible with the app you’re attempting to install. Most commonly, this occurs because the app isn’t designed for your device's screen size or version of Android.

I faced this issue as I changed my LCD density. After reverting back to the default LCD density value for my mobile, It worked normal.
I have also noticed that after the vegan 7.1 update, my device has *vanished* from the list of my devices on android market. Is anyone also noticing this?

What is the "default" density? After installing 7.1 i noticed it's now 160...
Regarding cache-clearing: I have tried that and it didn't work.

I am on stock 3588 plus the enhancement pack.
A couple of weeks ago I started having the same problem with the compatibility of most apps. In addition when I go the Market and then to My Apps now I only see a single app listed: LauncherPro. All other apps I installed from the market are no longer on the list.
I have reset the market by clearing the data and stopping Market and the Google Framework to no avail.
My G-Tab no longer shows as a device in my account.
I believe Google did something to eliminate the unauthorized devices.
I also think they have changed to block the "unauthorized" roms from working. about half the app installed now tell me they are not compatible with my device, and some of them are paid apps. I have asked this question, and the Markets response was to do a factory reset on my phone. I told them that was a crock as I have been on this rom for months now and a factory reset should be a last resort, not a standard fix. I asked them if they changed the market so that it looks at that, and no response yet. on the reply I got from the original mailing, my "specs" are included in the mail I sent them. It has android_os listed twice. the first is gingerbread, and the second is "other". And the first paragraph seems to indicate that with the "warning" about unauthorized os's. And the os is actually what should be on my device (android os), just it is modified, which happens when you personalize your phone anyway by adding widgets, change wallpaper or toggle features.
So is there any hack for that?
Or at least a way to find out what exactly in my device settings prevents the app from being compatible?
Use the modded market..you shouldn't run into that at all with it

Why are a ton of Android Apps "not compatible with this device"? it's so annoying...
Is there a way they can be "compatible"
Your options:
1. Install on another device, push the apk to your tablet via email
2. Use a hacked market app (if there is one for the flyer) to download any app
3. Change the preferences file on your Flyer so that market thinks you have a different device (hard mode from #2)

What version of the Market App, would this be? Sorry, I'm new to the HTC Flyer. I just bought it last Friday.
--Thanks
Try Amazon App market for android or Aptoid, they are a bit more flexible on some apps, but you won't find all apps there.
Sometime certain apps are made for certain devices or certain resolutions. The android market being that we run android 2.3. It thinks we have an oversize phone and some apps aren't able to pan out or zoom to a certain factor to where it will take up all of our screen estate. some apps i tried that work on my phone on 2.3 look pixelated and low in detail on my tablet because was mad for a less resolution. Or its just simply not for our device. Just install apps you have on your android and see how they look to you and see if they work. Just takes trial and error.
I've side loaded all the apps that I need/want and so far so good.
I have had the same issue with some apps, I had them on my Galaxy Tab, but not for my Evo view. The cool thing is ASTRO Manager now has a backup in the newest update. If you have another android device, like I have the Evo 3D, so I take the app on there, back it up and from there you can share it via email or bluetooth. I did it last nite to put Handcent and a few others on my View.
Installing HC will fix the problem with "small screens" in apps... but will break other apps - gameloft games and some that are intended to be run @ the original screen ratio
