I'm frustrated with Google Market because a decent handful of apps that I want to download show incompatible with my device. But I can't seem to find anywhere to download the apks now either to side load them. I used to use an apk downloader extension with Chrome but that no longer works and I can't get sites like Appbrain, Getjar etc to download the file either. I'm looking for apps like ticketmaster, cvs, target etc which are all free apps.
Any way around the Market issue or a good site without warez to get these apps?
Amazon?

I have been playing with a Kindle Fire and have(had) the same issue. I have used 1Mobile Market for most of the apps I previously got from the Play Store (Market). To install the Mobile market app, use the browser and go to their site (1mobile.com/). From their you can download their app with needed installer. After that, a huge variety of apps are available.

Indeed, but I tried one which checks for root access after I side loaded it. It wants unrooted devices only. Still hoping for a temp unroot option.

Don't forget that if you have the apps on another device, you can use a backup app like astro file manager to make an apk of any app.

Flash player works when you install from a download. You can get the most current version by googling flash player versions. adobe has all Android versions on their website. Here's the website to download the most current Version of Adobe Flashplayer I also provided a download below.

Voodoo programs are usually reliant on Voodoo compatible customized kernels, not stock non altered kernels.
For download apk's from PlayStore I use Real APK Leecher.
And how Real APK Leecher OP proposed i created new gmail account only for this necessity. Device ID i just got at my SGS II. All works like charm. Later i can install it to my phone or rooted Nook HD+ with Android Commander (very handy and great tool).
Amazon app store works ironically just fine.

These are the steps I used to set up my Nook Tablet and get it set up the way I wanted it. I have tweaked it even more but this is how I got to where I am now. I hope this collection of links to information may help others be as happy with their Nooks as I am with mine.
I am happy to have access to the Amazon ecosystem including buying apps from their app store and watching Amazon's instant streaming video as well as the Google Market and B&N Store. All this with the ability to access Netflix's HD content, an MicroSD slot, beautiful screen, sufficient processor & RAM leads me to feel that this is the best tablet for the money on the market today.
I would like to also thank Indirect, anlog, Loglud, gojimi, romified, t-r-i-c-k, robertely, Brad Linder and all of the other developers and XDA members that have worked on Nook tweaks and/or shared information for the benefit of others.
Just to be clear, I am nobody, I haven't created or worked on anything. I just mined all of this information for my own benefit and I thought I would post a copy of what I have found in a single post for those that follow. All of the credit should go to the people who created the posts that I am linking to.

Does anybody have a link to the SWIPEPAD apk file by any chance? Unfortunately I am only side-loading, hence my problem getting it via the traditional market.
I really have tried to get this a number of ways, and in a number of locations, but have kind of hit a roadblock! What's ironic is that it would have been quicker for me to ROOT my device and load it via google, rather than waste the time I put into trying to side-load it LOL!!!
So ultimately I'd prefer not to root the nook tablet, but my end goal is to be able to use hulu.com's browser based flash video.
Does anyone know if this method works for the NT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193538&page=4
Is there a better, more simple way, to get around hulu.com seeing the NT as a mobile device? Any web browsers I could just side load and that would be it?
Nope it doesnt work on the tablet just tried on Dolphin HD set to desktop mode instead of android and it tells me its not supported on my platform.
When I first got my smartphone, I bought a subscription to PlayOn.com and downloaded its android app so I could watch shows from Hulu, Netflix, and some other sites if I wanted. When I got my NT, I wondered if the app would work on it too so I copied the files from my phone and sideloaded them onto it. So far it works just fine.
Rooted method works though, if you're willing to go that route. Libflashplayer.so file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15120307&postcount=65 plus easier instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15326553&postcount=89
Then set Opera user agent to desktop. I'm watching hulu on my NT right now.
You can with this $.99 app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danielhlockard.flashbrowser

That app is listed as not compatible with the NT (Barnes&Noble BNTV250) so it might have to be sideloaded.
Thanks for this suggestion - Do you know if it works as a sideloaded app?
It can be done by buying it on a compatible device (I did it on a HP touchpad with cm7). Then back it up with Titanium Backup, transfer backup files to same folders on NT, and restore using Titanium backup on NT.
The app works pretty well on the NT.
Edit: Oops, just realized Titanium backup requires root also. I did try using ES file explorer, which doesn't require root, but it wouldn't backup that way on my Touchpad.

Its aviable and compatable on amazon app store just search flash browser. This is still $.99 purchase no root required thanks for the tip on the app.
Is this confirmed to be working on the NT? The hacked flash players (from the Nook Color thread/Xoom forum and others) do not work on the NT.
edit: The app that is. I haven't tried messing with the posted libplayer.so replacements, but that's next
Flash Web Browser
I can verify that it does work. I just purchased the app, and it works very well. I'm not going to use it as a default browser, but it's a great browser for streaming flash videos.
Nook Tablet comes with Hulu-plus application and can play movies right out of the box. You don't need to buy or install anything else.
It works also after rooting provided you reject "debloating" option while proceeding with the rooting.
It is not speculations or assumptions but an actual experience.
I'd rather
I don't have a Hulu-Plus subscription... and at $8/mo I'd rather not have a subscription.
Thus the need for a browser that will allow you to browse sites in the same manner as a desktop, including flash.

I second the need for such a browser. So can I purchase the app mentioned above and install it on my NT without rooting? Or do I need to root and install Android Market first?
No need for root
I purchased the app from the amazon app store unrooted, and installed it and it works fine. No need for rooting.
I've noticed a few videos on Youtube that won't run on the browser, but have had no problem with hulu.com.
Can someone post a link for the app? I don't want to root my nook (sounds dirty) I also need help installing. Thanks
Jimmy -
You'll probably get some heckling for not looking around for directions on sideloading apps, but here is a quick review. So I assume if you're asking for help on installation, then you haven't sideloaded ANY apps yet.
If this is the case, you can sideload apps, without rooting, with some simple instructions. The directions I used are found here: http://liliputing.com/2011/11/how-t...ok-tablet-amazon-appstore-go-launcher-ex.html Worked on the first time for me, but you do need to have a micro-sdcard.
Once you've installed your first app you can get a few more (you can find some good apps to install here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351951&highlight=side-load). YOU NEED TO INSTALL AMAZON APP MARKET. After that is installed and you have an account, go to this url on your nook tablet and purchase the flash web browser app: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IHK9PK
You can install it when prompted, and it should work no problem.

I tried this method with the latest adobe flash player 11 with the Libflashplayer.so file from above. And I am still being blocked by hulu. Im guessing that this is because the modified Libflashplayer.so from above is too old. So, how does one go about modifying the ".AND" to "WIN" ?
I get the problem parsing package. Did everything else right
Got a working solution for Hulu.com and flash 11.0 on a rooted nook tablet; it's not the latest version, but at least it works.
Need to be rooted and have some form of Root enabled file manager.
Uninstall flash and remove flash_player from /system/app
Grab the apk from this post (flash111_work.apk):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19123868&postcount=221
Drop it into /system/app and reboot. Done!
Works on mine with hulu.com through Opera mobile and Dolphin HD, watched a few different clips with great performance, plays 480p rather nicely.
I have seen several posts with people having issues trying to use the Amazon app store or install apps from the Amazon app store on their nook, so I decided to write up this brief guide.
1) You MUST have an SDCard installed BEFORE installing the Amazon app store. The reason for this is that the Amazon app store uses an SDCard to store certain information/cache/etc. While you can can get some things to install without an SDCard, you won't get all your apps to install without one. So if you want to install all your stuff from the Amazon app store, put an SDCard in your Nook FIRST.
2) From your Nook tablet, you can install the Amazon Appstore by typing in the following URL: www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp
3) You CAN use the same Amazon app store login on multiple devices. I currently have 2 HTC EVO3D phones and the Nook tablet all using the same login. The advantage of this is that if you (like me) have been grabbing free app of the day for a long time now, you will also have access to these on your Nook tablet.

hey is it possible for an app from the amazon app store to not be compatible with the NT? i think today's free app isn't compatible with the NT because it simply says so when I try to install it...
Probably. There are a lot of apps on the normal Android market that aren't compatible with the NT. The difference between them and the free app of the day is that they just don't show up normally. The free app shows up for everyone, since it's part of the "Advertising" section of the store.

I think I've done this correctly, but let me make sure...
I'm working with a rooted NT.
I uninstalled the amazon app using an uninstaller from the Android market.
I removed the SD card, which was not in there the first time I turned on the NT.
Turned off the NT
Deleted all contents on the SD card and reinserted it.
Turned on the NT
Installed the Amazon App
Signed in
Tried to install a few apps, but keep getting "Unable to install - This application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again.
Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

This is what happens when you try to install a non-Nook app using the BN App Installer instead of the Android Package Installer. You need to navigate to the Manage Applications menu (get to it from NT Hidden Settings app, or the applications menu of ADW or Zeam, or any other possible way) and find App Installer. Click on it and then click the button that says "clear defaults." This should bring up a menu next time you install an app where you will choose to install with Package Installer, and set this as default. You should be good to go from there on (unless you try to install an app that is not designed for tablets/NT as indicated above).

Thank you for the assistance!
When I went there, no defaults were set. I went back to install an app and I still get the same error message, but originally I wasn't specific enough and left out this step:
I get a popup menu when I choose to install or reinstall an app and it asks me:
Complete action using - App Installer or Package installer.
If I choose app installer, I get the error mentioned. If I choose package installer, I get Parse error - There is a problem parsing the package.
remove sd card and put back in.
remove sd card and reboot and put back in.
it's something to do with the sd card.
Package Installer is what you should be using. From my experience, 'parsing error' has meant that the app is not compatible with the NT. So far these have included BeWeather, multiple games from Gameloft, and a drawing pad app from Amazon.

I don't think so, I was getting that error trying to download es file manager. amazon appstore stared to work after I removed sd card, rebooted, put card back in, download some apps off android market. So not completely sure what I did to get it working.
Ya, just for the sake of testing try MultiTouch Tester. It's free and I just installed it to make sure.

Well then that is probably worth trying also. Now that I think about it there are some apps that I tried to sideload and got a parsing error, then when I tried to install with Root Explorer they did work (but not all have). So I guess this only makes the error more unclear...

Ya, just for the sake of testing try MultiTouch Tester. It's free and I just installed it to make sure.

Thanks for the app, but no change in the error.
I get the pop up to install as an app or a package, but both choices fail.

Worked for me. Worked with my old root, and now with Indirect's updated root script too.
Recently re-rooted after 1.4.1 update. Used Indirect's updated root script.
Is there some regional thing with the Amazon Appstore? I'm from England, on holiday in the US and I picked up a Tablet. I installed the amazon appstore fine and it worked and i tried to get it to download the free version of ES File Manager and everytime it starts it pops up with a payment issue and takes me to a webpage to sign in to add my payment details. I have a UK credit card attached to my account and figured that would be fine considering I'm not even paying for anything as its free but it wont let me. So can people outside the US without a US credit card use the mazon appstore? Also how do you get the Amazon App store icon to show up in the apps area? Once I leave the store the only way I can get it back is by re-installing it which is not ideal.

1) You MUST have an SDCard installed BEFORE installing the Amazon app store. The reason for this is that the Amazon app store uses an SDCard to store certain information/cache/etc. While you can can get some things to install without an SDCard, you won't get all your apps to install without one. So if you want to install all your stuff from the Amazon app store, put an SDCard in your Nook FIRST.

Thanks for this post. I've been searching for an answer to this problem since yesterday, and sure enough-- once I put an SD Card in my brand spanking new Galaxy Note 10.1 the issue was fixed.

I have a Nook HD and I am new to tablets, but I can not get the amazon store to install on mine for anything. Any ideas?

I received my Nook Tablet for Christmas, and of course the first thing I do is root it (using Nook&Zergy). Now that I have access to the market, I ask myself"wheres all the apps?" I assume that it was the Android market filter hiding incompatible apps. So later on I try to side load and get errors. So now I just want to know how to get apps to work? I also blocked OTA's.
[In a nutshell]
What I know:
-Nook runs tweaked Gingerbread
-Honeycomb app I try to install get a parseing error when I try to install(most likely do to api's)
-Market has limited app selection.
What I want to know:
- Is it possible to get Honey comb apps to run(for example adobe touch apps, sketchbook pro hd ect...)
-Why is the android market selection so limited
-What is a parsing error?
- If you have any more advice feel free to share
Thank you!
I'm having same issue
Im having the same problem. Google maps, Evernote, Facebook all do not show up in market. When I use the browser to access the market it says these apps are incompatible. Also words with friends installs and opens but doesn't show properly, the chat window overlaps the game board so you can't see it. Is this a dpi issue? I've seen other posts that maybe dpi needs to be changed to 160. If so, How is this done?

Gingerbread can't run honeycomb apps. I have evernote and some other apps I have found through other sites, however i have not got facebook to run yet.
The apps are limited because of the fingerprint of the device, but people have spoofed the build.prop file to gain access to more of the market. See other threads.
I have facebook and twitter running on my rooted nook right now. I took the apks from my phone backups and put them in dropbox, downloaded and installed. (That was actually before I rooted) but they are working fine and the widgets work on the homescreens. I did that with all of the apps I wanted from my phone.
If this helps, I created a tutorial on how to download apps not showing up in the Marketplace.

If you can share the apk for facebook, it would be greatly appreciated.

I love Flash Player on the Nook and can't believe Android is Taking Out features!?
A quick search shows my Nook on 11.1.111.10, yet it's not listed on Adobe's archive page. I'd like to offline the apk installer so I can reinstall to any Nook OS that comes around, esp. since it's not part of CM7 MicroSD card image for the Nook, and want the 'original' installer.
Various versions are on 3rd party links when searching, but none from reputable sites - don't know if they're virus infected.
So what's the best way to offline the apk to ensure I've got the original installer for the Nook after Winter?
Are you using stock?

Android Market (Play Store) has it for download. I use ES File Explorer to backup all the apps I install so I can reinstall at will.

Sorry! I didn't mean to horn in. I didn't realize this was a new post.
Lars for tobdaryl
I am sorry.
I'm on CM7 on a MicroSD card on a NT 8GB.
I know I can image the whole setup, but that won't help when cm9/etc rolls around, so I wanted to dl the original apk myself for reinstalls.
I've read that long multistep Chrome browser + apk saving plugin trick, but that seems a bit overboard for this - plus, another Q: if the browser is dl'ing the apk with one Google account, will that saved apk work on the tablet with any account? Or is the apk locked to one G account?
But, if that is the best way short of risking a virus with 3rd party apk dl sites....
Have you tried titanium backup from app store?
No. Haven't thought of using Titanium due to the huge number of threads here and on the Net from users that encounter issues restoring an app from backup.
My goal isn't to play a guessing game with the backup - it's to get the working apk archived on my pc so I'll always be able to reinstall it.
Just trying to find the best way to get the authentic, unaltered apk for Flash Player.

So the Google play store has the same version as you do. So you are okay and no worries ( I believe ). I am a big flash fan too and am sad they are phasing it out. I can remember building whole flash websites ten years ago. It was hard. A real strain on my brain ( but totally cool )...
I personally can't wait for flash to go. Its a dinosaur in the development world and its time for it to go.
With that said, simply search for an app backup and restore app on the play store and you'll find an app that will save the app for you. Alternatively, if you're rooted, navigate to /data/apps and you should see the .apk file there.

Thanks for the apk file path method! just what I needed and will be better for me to manually save tested apk's that work. =D
