Browsers are different.. I use xScope Pro and it has an ad blocking feature built in. Adblocking apps (ad blocker free etc..) they only block android games. But in a web browser, the HTML file (or PHP, XML etc) the ads are built in. Only way to block them is by using a web browser which offers ad blocking. And note that not all ads are blockable by one simple mod.
Huh? Ad blocking works with web sites by blocking the source of the ad by either identifying the ip address or the site name. Apps and games that incorporate the ads into their data stream cannot be blocked. If CNN app pushes ads to the app with the same source as their data feeds you can't stop one without the other.
Still Charged Up
Try AdWay, but You need root for this.

Here is the Amazon Video APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352694
This is really the last piece that the Kindle has over the Nook Tablet... and now that is solved.
Notes
There is some preventative code in the Amazon Video Player that stops it from playing if you are rooted, but just get the "OTA RootKeeper" app from the Google Market (or search the apk) and install that. That lets you temporarily unroot with a single click. Then restore root with another. All right from your device! No need for PC connection. Now you can watch your prime shows without losing root!
There is no menu option to login to your prime account through the app. Some people claim that if you have Amazon MP3 installed and login there, then install the Amazon Video app, it will use the same login info. But if that doesn't work, you can simply click on a prime video, click the buy button, it will take you to a login screen, then login and it should recognize your prime access and let you watch.
Won't save login
Amazon Video apk installs and runs beautifully but I can't sign in. I selected a movie to purchase, was taken to the login screen, entered login info (I'm a Prime member.) but then it kicks me back to the movie screen and starts the cycle all over again. After re-entering my login several times it never gets past the loop. Is there a trick to having it remember the login?
Try and reboot the nook after logging in, worked for me.

Worked!
Worked like a charm and I'm embarrassed that I didn't try this first! Thanks for your reply.
Looks like it doesn't work if you are rooted.
Worked before rooting, no longer working after rooting. I am a sad panda.
The work around is to use OTA RootKeeper, a free app on the Market that will backup your "root files" (I'm guessing su) and restore when you need it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
Unfortunately, I can't test this since I don't yet have the Nook or any other Android tablet. Hope it helps you guys out though!

Thanks! Worked like a champ. Just install, then click 'Temporary Un-Root'. All of my launcher buttons and everything else work just fine.

If I'm already an Amazon Prime member and can access streaming video from the Browser, which I tested, then what does installing this apk do?

It's a better layout, and the video plays faster since it's all native.
Didn't work for me. I think because my NT is now rooted. Got a "cannot open file" when I tried to launch the apk.
about streaming videos...
Can anyone check how these stream on NT:
http://vimeo.com/hd
http://veetle.com/index.php/listing#all/quality/1 (highest playable bitrates?)
Revision3 apk (available at Market) when on "HD" ?
any other online HD streaming video content you know of and able to watch and report/demonstrate?
Thank you
Can NON Prime members at least rent movies? No free streaming right? I have the Amazon player on my NT but afraid to login to my Amazon account because I dont't want to be charged $80 lol

Prime membership just gives you a subset available to stream for free. It is not a requirement for accessing the video service.

On the page for the video, it shows the different options available to watch (Streaming, Download to PC, Portable Device, etc...). Can you download the portable device version and transfer it to the NT to play in the app?

You shouldn't get that error if you are rooted. It should let you do everything but give you a warning when you try to watch. But see the first post again for notes on how to easily bypass this.
works perfect! Thanks!

I've gotta use this OTA app even if I'm rooted? (which I am)
I installed the ATVAndroidClient apk. In GOLauncher what is the name of the app? I can't seem to find it.

Hmm. I installed the package twice and it's nowhere to be found, even with ES File Explorer.
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.

I encountered the same thing, so I use firefox as my main browser. There are add-ons like adblockplus and clean quit.
I've also heard good things about javelin.

For android or the computer?
Android. Its not as friendly with google websites since its not based off webkit, but I make it work. Its also not as nice looking, but it functions more like a desktop browser to me.
I have the stock browser as my backup, and flashify for when I want to switch between browsers.
I run stock (TW browser), firefox, Puffin, and Link bubble.
Just download adaway and walk away. Blocks all ads at the host level of your phone. I haven't see any in app ads or browser ads in years.
Yeah I downloaded it it seems to be working thank you guys
Adaway is the best, does what it supposed to do exactly and more.
I dislike adaway because it disables redirects. and certain websites use them... I know you can whitelist redirect links, but it needs to be updated everytime you find a new one. so.. yeah

Well, I have been using Adblock from a while and never ran onto any known issues, so I am going to suggest you the same i.e. try using the Adblock. It is a good ad block and one more thing I don't think you can find it over the Google Play Store, I guess PlayStore has taken the Adblock app down over their store but I am sure you can get it from the the Adblock website !

All you have to do is to maintain Android's hosts file: MVPS.org provides nearly every month an updated version. Current latest update got published at 2020-03-03.
So I just installed the 3.2 Update for my shield. The Vudu app comes pre-installed. There us already an update for the app in the playstore. But Vudu won't let me play any of my movies in UHD. It shows me that I own the UHD version, but HDX is the biggest resolution it will let me play it in. Anyone able to get UHD to work?

Just came across this Q. You (obviously) need a 4K display (in 4K mode), and need HDCP 2.2 full chain from tv->shield. Missing either of those, it won't show you UHD.

I have both of these. I can view 4k content on all the other apps, but Vudu. Vudu will say that I own the movie in UHD, but HDX is the highest res available. Do you have the Vudu app on your Shield?

There's sites that can generate fake cc and addresses. They're truly fake so you're not ripping anyone off.
Quick Google should reveal them.
Then you can add whatever UV codes in your preferred UK UV partner and a few minutes later the available in vudu.
Where'd you get the apk from? I have the account but find on my UK shield even after spoofing location to California and using an enabler proxy - which works on the tablet version on my Nexus 7

Installed but uninstalls itself between reboots
Hi
so I found out how to get it running with IP mask, location spoof and registration from the app (for some reason 'existing user' wouldn't work)
sideloading the apk then reveals the included app. But frustratingly when rebooted the sideloaded apk disappears and vudu becomes unavailable again. a reinstall fixes it but anyone know how to either stop shield uninstalling or to create a new apk from the original that the shield would accept as a standalone apk?
Thanks
looking forward for more
I'm also looking for a way to get vudu to work on my Norwegian Shield TV. It's not in the play store, even with vpn.. I really want to watch my Vudu movies in UHD on my Shield TV :/

Where did you have the apk? I'm thinking about getting a shield in order to use vudu however I'm in the UK so want to make sure that it will work (even if I have to jump through a few hoops).

Hi
the apk is actually on the factory image it just doesn't "appear". but does when you sideload (it does get deleted at next reboot).
So download and then sideload.
Haven't tried that method though in a bit. send me a pm to know why.
