If you install it the normal way there is no need copy it to your file directory or change permissions

Did you try clearing data on flashplayer then uninstall flashplayer. And try installing the apk normally.
I originally had issues installing this on stock Rom, not sure why, I finally got it working by flashing stock with goodies, then just installing the apk normally.

Well I am starting this Thread for users to add useful APPs that they have found to improve their Nook hd and hd plus tablets. Here is the download
amazon market, Adobe Flashplayer. Feel free to add your own that way we don't have to Google our hands off searching for every little APK to improve our tablet.:good:
Seriously you guys can add apps at anytime just by hitting reply I found those two, now if you guys have any other apps that you find useful feel free to add them so other people can find them useful as well.

I don't understand what you are getting at, I have sideloaded 25+ apps on my Nook HD and I havent had a problem yet?
Are you asking people to post working .apks? Cause thats a long, long list...
I just use Astro File manager (anything that backs up apps would work) on my phone, drag the .apks to my computer and sideload them via adb to my Nook HD... Takes a little longer than downloading .apks from some site, but this way they are directly from the play store.
Ok That's great that you have found a way to easily install apk files to your nook, yes, my intention was to get a long list of apps that work nook that way future users don't have to scour the internet searching for apps. I understand your point, I know some people don't see the logic in helping others, I get that. I am sorry you don't understand good natured intent.

Yeah most apps that I've tried worked except for a handful. Even though the market sometimes says device isn't compatable I download them from another source and the run fine most of the time. List would be neater with apps that don't work for it.

You may have a good point there, also if the latest version of an app doesn't work see if we can try older versions to see if those work sometimes older versions can be compatible while newer versions are not.

Nice idea, should save time, LOL, I just put flash on my HD, if I'd have seen this thread earlier it would have been easier and quicker.
adventures of tintin doesn't wrk on nook hd+
I side loaded it' it opens up and then says device isn't compatible. Any suggestions?
What do you mean by "side loading" because side loading means using ADB to push install apk files. You have to have your nook rooted, and have flashed the zip that gives you the ability to install from unknown sources. If you are trying to flash it, through CWM, that won't work on this tablet. All you have to do is install it as you would any other apk file that you have downloaded no need to "side load"

Hi, I have never used comixology but from what i understand it tries to do specialized zooming from panel to panel as you said, I am not sure if it is preset by the authors or if it tries to use a algorithm to decide it, anyway non of that really matters, no manga watcher just show full pages on screen and you can choose zoom width, zoom height, of zoom page. it also has the option for dual pane in landscape. I will say it is one of the smoothest comic readers i have used almost as good as komik. Again thoughit doesn't do any speical zooming from panel to panel and i honestly think that might be choreographed by a person on comixology.

I bought humblebundle yesterday, for plants vs zombies but i cant install anomaly korea and bladeslinger, eventhough its should work on DX, does anyone found the solution?
what does "cant install" mean exactly? error message?
i see both games (havent bought them, so i cant install them) in playstore, so installation shouldnt be a problem!?
While installing from apk, both of them after some time of installing it just pops application not installed.
edit: Maybe just to make thing clear, if you buy humblebundle, you can download full apk , its about 300mp apk (not standard few kb apk and then download data from internet...).

None. Pure AOSP like custom ROM (try xpirt or Half-Sense-they are both great). But you can download ICS StatusBar from Play Store. It's free and very similar.

As I know, it's not a 300 mb apk, you just download the data first from Play Store. (It should be writen in the notification bar: "Downloading aditional data" or something like that).

storage is fine... :/
edit: ha, it wasnt... i had around 300mb, but freeing a bit more space helped
tried to move anomaly korea to storage card, storage card has no space according to android, according to me, it has more than 20 gb free...
If you're downloading them from non playstore sources then it most likely data remaining from previously installed versions of the app or game, try going into android-data or android-obb and then deleting the relevant files and re installing

Tried the atorrent app, not my cup on tea. I did see the website for aDownloader but it still throws errors. Was the single best torrent client I've ever used, such a shame!!!
The app is on the market but thanks to Google and there bs new rules the new version is usless because you cannot access the torrents in the app. It simply opens the browser and shows you a search list of torrent websites. Here's the adownloader apk before they updated. Works great. Enjoy!

I've switched to the beta u torrent. Just Google my search's now. The old adownloader crashed my stick yesterday. Was 90 percent done with a torrent when the stick just froze. After a reboot, the torrent files were gone. That's enough for me. Utorrent does not have much settings to tinker with and I do not get near the download speed I did with adownloader. But its stable. A torrent was not to my likeing.

I have a outdated version and most of the search functionality is borked...

Hi, I'm not the OP but thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately it's not The Weather Channel he/she was asking for but The Weather Network which is based in Canada. Unfortunately they've opted to restrict the tablet version to 8'' and up devices excluding the N7 (despite more than a few complaints on the Play Store).
If by chance you'd be willing to upload TWN, I'd definitely appreciate it. I know the iOS version is available in the US iTunes store so I'm guessing you'd have access?

I am sad to say that the app force closes on Nexus 7. I don't understand why they can't make this compateable on a 7 inch screen. The Weather Network treats the N7 like a phone.... I think I would look pretty stupid holding that thing to my ear.
I went back to an iPad Mini (Retina). As much as I love Android on phones, it's still not the same/better experience on tablets.

I was able to get it to work using "exposed framework" and "app setting" to set the display as higher resolution. It tricks the tablet version into thinking your tablet is a tablet (lol) but the problem is it still didn't look right. There was many glitches. I think the weather network was designed for 10 tablets :'(
I gave up. Pitty. 1weather is a good app to try.

wow thanks for the tip, i will try "xposed app setting" as i already have this installed but never thought of using it for TWN. My guess is that i will encounter the same problems as you did so ill probably end up giving up on TWN as well. I installed the new app of Weather Channel and Accuweather this morning. I am still testing both, they both look like very good weather apps. I have used 1weather before but uninstalled it cant remember why. Its a shame that TWN doesnt support all tablets.... i hope android become more strict with uploaded apps to the playstore, seems like the tablet world isnt supported by android devs all that much, at least not like apple, its so hard to find good tablet apps on playstore =(

Sorry for quoting you again but I wanted to thank you. The xposed module did the trick it worked perfectly no bugs or glitches. On my Note 8 I put 162 dpi and checked xlarge res everything else is untouched.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for the dev to fix the app the right way.

Just so people know, TWN was updated on ipad with a completely redesigned look. Lets see if the dev gives us some android love. I doubt it.

Could you give me some help? I have a Galaxy Tab3 8.0, which is very similar to the note 8. But I could not get the TWN to launch in tablet mode, using xposed app setting. I followed your instructions - put 162 dpi and checked xlarge res everything else is untouched. It just made everything smaller but still in phone mode.
Perhaps TWN updated their app so the hack doesn't work anymore.
Did you modify anything else, like the tablet's overall DPI setting in build.prop?
Did you download the app from Play store, or side loaded it from another source?

Are you using version 2.1.0.12? Because it does not work past that version because the dev changed things and made it worst for our 8 inch tablets.

That was it. Version 2.1.0.12 (linked in this thread) works perfectly. Thanks!
Pity that the newer TWN versions break the hack. Things just never seemed to work out of the box like my iPad mini. Another example of Android users being treated as 2nd class compared to the iOS camp.

Yep I feel you. My review on play store says the same but it isn't the only app acting like this on my 8 inch tablet. On the other hand those same apps are fine on 10 inch tablet so go figure
In case anyone wants to stop Play Store from updating the TWN app:
