Hi,
http://www.storageoptions.com/products/scroll/tablets/scroll-pocket
It's cheap as chips and perfect for my kids.
But I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's at all possible to install another marketplace on to the system? e.g. amazons marketplace or getjar? I think as long as I can get Angry Birds on it then I should have a couple of happy bunnies for xmas :victory:
Thanks in advance
I'm pretty sure all you need to do for GetJar, is to use the browser, search and download the app and install. Make sure you check install non-market apps in "manage apps". and get a file manager (if it doesn't come with a pre-loaded one) to install it and you should be good to go. Do you know what market is on it to start? I assume Google, but you know what happens when you assume right? If it is the Google market (Play), the you should be set there. It has the Angry Birds, no prob. Hope I was some help!
It comes with SlideMe, not really the best TBH.
I have contacted Amazon and they said to download it. Will have to buy them and see what's happens.
I guessed this was the case but was hoping to get it confirmed from the wise old ones here
Cheers for replying.

I am currently deployed to afghanistan and when I get my nook up and running, I check the market and it says no apps are available in your area. How can I get this fixed or a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
adb the apps over
Have wifi but Market downloads are being blocked.
I'm also in Afghanistan. I have wifi access but Market downloads are being blocked. They just hang saying "Starting download".
Is there another place I can get Market apps and download the the .apk file and then manually (adb) install them on my NC?
I'm running:
1.2
ManualNooter 4.5.6
Thanks.
There is an app called market enabler, not sure if it will help you or not, but it tricks the market into thinking you are somewhere or something else.
There is a site called Slideme, that has their own app market that you can download, I dont think anything on there is pirated, and it has alot of stuff.
Amazon has their own app store now too, go to their site enter your email, and they will email you a link to the apk for their store. Download and install, they have pretty much everything.
Good luck, stay safe, and thanks for your service.

there is also an app called location spoofer, it has worked for me within the states to watch blacked out baseball games. I here it helps with the Google Market over seas.
Google is very location specific for advertising, my guess is the market gets all screwy when you travel. Not sure tho..
I bet it was one of you NC owners over seas that put a plug in Binladens head! Nice job guys! Should go to the press and say "A rooted Nook Color troop dropped Binladen". You guys would definetely get laid!
Anyone else getting large numbers of apps (esp games) not showing as compatible in market?
e.g. ADW EX, Cut the Rope.
At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?
Any hints appreciated
Hello,
Just because you mentioned about cut the rope game, i installed it and it plays OK (sony s 16gb).
Chris
sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.
I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.
The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.
I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.
Anybody seen this before?
I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.
ADW EX also shows up here. no problems with them what so ever. I got the sgpt111us/s model.
There are a lot of Gameloft games that you have to sideload. And Gameloft does not bother to answer their support emails.
I had to side load the tivo application from my rooted OG to my tablet, but it works fine. Someday I will buy a premier so i can actually use it though!
Hello
I have this problem too.
I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.
They said that I could:
1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.
2. Clear data. It doesn't work.
3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.
4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.
e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.
If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times

it's good information to know and very helpful, albeit discouraging
Okay I have applications on my tablet that i got through alternative ways, and the market shows i payed for them but i didn't so i cannot update them. I want to pay so i can get updates but the problem is i cant get the market to allow me to pay for them because its linked to my google account. Is there a way around it so i can pay for it? I tried using titanium backup to destroy the market link but that's a no go, still shows i payed it so i cant buy to update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and i will hit your thanks button.
Try and backup the app + data, uninstall, reboot, purchase and restore just the data.
Have you tried uninstalling the app(s) using Titanium Backup (keep the backup, just hit the uninstall button) ,then go to the market, re-install and purchase the app? Even though the market says purchased, when you go to update, you will never be able to without actually purchasing through the market because the market keeps track of what you purchase by association of your gmail. Tempting as it may be, NEVER get paid apps outside of the market for at least 2 important reasons : 1. SUPPORT DEVS! These apps take time and expertise and a number of other things, I'm sure you don't work for free, right? 2. Malware can be added to apps and you won't even know it, even if you use the latest/best antivirus/malware protection available! At least in the market you have a degree of protection against such bad things because a Dev does not want bad reviews and Google's Bouncer checks apps before they are allowed to be listed to minimize the chance of mailicious software. Sorry, really tried hard not to preach, just some friendly advice.

I have had this issue before too, and all my apps are from legal sources. OP may have done nothing wrong, because Amazon app store, getjar, and others show up this way in the Market. In TiBu, you can long press a problem app and select unattach to market and it will not show up. But if you want updates and to keep your data, the best way is what Gibeon said.
Correct I've gotten and paid on other markets. Ty for all the suggestions, ill try them out. Some apps I don't know what market I used for payment, but I rather just to buy again then figure it out. I did try uninstalling through titanium backup, a while back I used titanium backup and used the option of market doctor and somehow it links it to Google and can't figure it out to get rid of it. If I delete an app and destroy market link and go to Google online even with my computer it says I have purchased it already but errors out to get it. I'll mess around with it, shoot I guess I can make a second gmail to do it lol. Again thanks for your help

Here is the file. Be sure to click on old market when you have it open, if you don't like it click on new market. Pretty straight forward. HOWEVER. It installed perfect for me but when I tried to get my apps up it would always time out. I think it is only because of my network though. So perhaps others should try it anyways.

The above posts both provide a workaround/partial solution. Here is my suggestion...
If you choose to try Old Market, when you launch it you can choose "old" or "new" market. It requires root permissions to work. After selecting which Market you would like, it will reboot the device and, once it is booted, the market you chose will be installed. Take note that I did in fact still see some free apps that weren't installed, but not all of them. Perhaps they were only the apps that were downloaded to this specific device/ROM.
That said, the "old" Market is indeed the very old V2 Market. I went back to "new" Market (V3), and it upgraded itself back to Google Play after a little while.
Unless you truly like the old interface of the Market, I'd recommend you go with CosmicDan's suggestion of logging in to Google Wallet and viewing your transaction history. This will give you a list of only the apps you have purchased. Unfortunately you can not install them to your device from there, but at least you can see only the apps you have purchased without seeing every app you have ever downloaded.
--- Original Post ---
Is there a way to view only one's purchased apps in the new Play Store? The new interface for the My Apps section does not seem to have a way to do this like it used to, instead showing seemingly every app one has ever downloaded, with purchased apps mixed in (in no logical order).

Big time bump on this! They really do need to add a tab that shows purchased not just installed and history.
Just ran across this. Hope there is a fix in the works. Not being able to sort the apps is a major FAIL.
I let my son have my old droid and he went crazy downloading what looks like every free app offered....my mistake for not creating a junk gmail account. Now I have literally hundreds and hundreds of apps listed in my app section of the play store.
Bump, I would like to know also
It appears that even the app management section of the Google Play website doesn't have this capability. On the positive side, the site looks great! -_-
This is just wrong, when you've bought allot of apps and downloaded plenty of free apps.
There's got to be an easier way to see what you've bought and redownload!
Someone got a clue?

This is such a fkn annoying issue. BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other thing is there should be a tab to multi select app installs so you aren't directed to the install screen and forced to start from the beginning of the main screen after you go back. If that is not an option at least add the ability to install "ALL" paid apps.
Why in the hell would we not get the option to see purchased apps only but we get the option to see "ALL" downloaded apps paid or unpaid. That's just fkn ridiculous
P.S. To anyone that is going to tell me to roll back or move previous apk versions to system/app or even use an app to do it for you and blah blah blah. I have tried everything.
The closest I got was using the apk I will attach for everyone here. Be sure to unzip it and move the file to your phone and use a file explorer to install it.
Here is the file. Be sure to click on old market when you have it open, if you don't like it click on new market. Pretty straight forward. HOWEVER.

so I should be able to choose which market I want to use on the fly when I install this apk?
This has got to be one of google's biggest recent FAILS.
It's been like this for over a month now, and what seems like a very simple and basic fix hasn't even arrived yet. Do you all think they are even aware of this being an issue for us?

Please see the updated OP for my suggestion, as well as the answer to your question.
Think this will ever be resolved? this is beyond annoying. Do you think Google is even listening? Lol

Not likely any time soon in my opinion. I'm quite positive that they knowingly made the decision to change (read remove) the list of only paid apps in the Play Store, in an effort to "improve" the app. Unfortunately.
.— Powered by Nexus —.
Another Google Fail just like the crappy resolution contact pictures that they refuse to fix. Thanks google for making have to make duplicate phone contacts and link everything. Also thank you for getting rid of showing only the paid apps.
Google has always been a piece of.. garbage, but as of late, they have just been, a piece of... junk..
Well, I do not think Google forgot to have that view. From their point of view it absolutely makes sense:
If you forget about an app you bought some day, you might end up buying another one, providing the same functionality later. And that is where they get money from, not you re-installing an already bought app.
It does not go too well with the "don't be evil" motto, but this was clearly a deliberate choice by Google.

I was aware of that, but it does not launch. Instead it immediately upgrades to Play Store as well.

The r2 works fine for me. I've put it to /system/app … I had to delete the app data to make it run again after a reboot, though.
I need a little help with my sons new Fire HD7,
I have managed to install google play to be able to get the apps that he likes but they won't add to the childs profile, only apps i download from amazon app store will add, he's driving me nuts for games that he likes but cant get once the tablet is on his profile, any help would be great, also if i could get "samsung kids mode" to install that would be a lot handier as he knows that inside out.
Thanks

I'm running into the same issue. My son just got one of these for Christmas. And I'm right where you are - installed Play Store and downloaded apps, but can't get them into his profile. I'm assuming it's because of where they are saved or something to that effect.
I'm also having an issue with the fact that Chromecast (Google Home) doesn't work inside of Netflix and Disney Jr. apps. His older cheapy tablet can Chromecast fine, but that tablet's battery sux...
I'm willing to wager that I'm going to have to root and install CM or another custom ROM in order to get any decent functionality out of this Fire.
Keep me posted on any progress you've made, and I'll do the same ?
