Hi all,
I've just bought the Nook HD+ and have it running the stock Nook software (not rooted). I have the game Where's My Water on many devices having paid for it from the Play Store. For some reason the game is not available for the Nook through the Play Store but is available through the Nook Store (at an extra cost of £2.29). I've already paid for the game and the extra level packs and I don't want to have to pay again.
Does anyone know why it's not available through the Play Store and if there's any way to get it on my Nook without buying it again?
Are there many games/apps which aren't available on Play but are in the Nook store?
Cheers
Wag
You can go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my extras zip which enables unknown sources so that you can sideload the app. You can copy the apk from one of your other devices and install it on your HD+.

Thanks for that. I've done all that on my Nook but now trying to backup the app from my phone it says it is protected and won't let me back it up. Is there a way round that?
My phone is rooted and I have a titanium backup. Will that help to get the game on my Nook given the Nook is not rooted?

If the app is copy protected on your phone, then you cannot remove a copy to install on your nook. The only thing I can think of for you to do is contact the author and see if they will send you a non-copy protected version.

Since you already have bought the app, I have a non-copy protected version (1.12) that I can put on a server for you. If you want it, send me a PM and I will send you the link.

Hi, thanks for offer. I've used your root zip and then titanium restored a copy of this and a couple of other apps I couldn't find in the Play store. Then I've unrooted it using your other zip so no risk of the system getting messed up. Seems to work okay (and I have my latest save games)! I think this might be the way to do it going forward if I find more apps missing. Many thanks for all your help.

I just flashed in CM7 rom to my SGS2. So I don't have the apps which were installed previously in the stock OS. I remembered that Quickoffice was there but I never opened it to see if it is freely installed for us or it is a trial version. I realized it is a paid app only when I searched for it in app market to install in my CM7! Can you guys please confirm whether the Quickoffice which came with stock OS was free or paid? Thanks in advance!
i didnt open quickoffice either but if I'm not mistaken, i believe the basic version was included for free but you cannot edit documents on it unless you paid for it. I'll let someone else confirm that, though.
good news/bad news
it appears to be the full version. just edited and saved a spreadsheet.
it's installed as a system app
i don't know if you can just go into system/app on your old rom (you did do a nandroid back up right?) and pull the apk and use that to install on the CM rom.
I did the same however the update that it says it has cost money.

Don't apply the update from market. It will make your free version into trial version. The included QuickOffic is full version already.
I had made a backup while on stock rom with titanium backup. I am on CM7 and used titanium backup to restore the app. I opened it and it asked if I wanted to update and I said no. I then went in and was able to create and save a word document. Then I went back in a was able to edit it.

can the same be done for allshare app when running CM7? my guess is it wont run on CM7? Does the HDMI out work after running CM7? If not, will it ever work?
I didn't make a backup of the app, can anyone post it up somewhere?

Titanium Pro version has a NANDROID restore APK (app+data) option. Just pull the app from the backup (com.qo.android.samsung) you should have made before flashing.
or
download "AppExtractor" from the market to restore from NANDROID also.
I tried to backup Allshare with Titanium and then restore onto GalnetMIUI 1.11.9. It would not restore, just says restoring app forever, never finishes.
I ended up downloading Skifta, I like it and works just as good as AllShare.
FYI: quickoffice pro is free on amazon today.

Noticed this, but does anyone know if Amazon version is newer or not? According to version number on Amazon it's an older version; or at least on my SG2 my version reads 4.1.20110711.67. Amazon reads 4.1.156. I bought it anyway, for free of course, but haven't installed it. Don't want to override the installed version if older.
^^ you can update it...
Can't seem to uninstall the included version. When I install the Pro version I got from Amazon there are now 2 icons. I cannot uninstall the included version.
are you rooted? You can't uninstall apps that come with the phone unless you have root access.

I still have the free version of Quickoffice. It tell me there is an update, but takes me to a blank page on Quickoffice.com.
Anyone else seen this? I am rooted and rum Unnamed.
Since I can't open my prime until tomorrow, I have a question. I'm assuming I can use the same Google account on the tab and my phone. So will every app that I get (free or paid) be downloaded to both devices? Like say I download xda on my phone, will that automatically get downloaded to the prime or will I have to physically instal it on the other device? That's foe the help. I can't wait to open this friggen thingthing
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Yes. All such apps will download OR show you the option to download them, without additional purchase, since they're be tied to your Google Market account.
As far as I know, all apps from Google Market are tied to your Google account, and not your device id.
Thanks. So I guess if they just automatically download I can just delete then I that device.

I was looking and couldn't figure out where to see the apps that i paid for on my prime
Sent from my HTC Evo 3D using XDA App
They won't automatically download to both. If you download from the device, it'll only install to that one. If you download from the PC Market site, it'll ask what you want to install it on. It would be incredibly annoying if every single app I got on my phone also installed on my Prime. IF you check the box to download all your apps when first booting the Prime, it'll download all the apps from your account though, but it won't continuously sync purchases and install them without you though, thankfully.

In the market, hit the menu icon and select "My Apps." The ones installed will be at the top, the ones purchased but not installed on the device will be towards the bottom, separated by a line.
Thanks guys. I now have my answer

You'll also have to make sure the app is compatible with the TF Prime. If not, it won't let you download through Android Market.

first, thanks a lot!
then, what did you mean with "its a system app"?
[Edit]
Doesn't work.
If I tap on the apk, it warns me that it will replace the installed one, I choose "OK", than the installation starts but after a while fails with just a "application not installed", no other error message.
or you can uninstall the upgrade form the playstore app on my apps

The version you want is designed to work ONLY on the kindle fire itself; it won't operate on other devices.
I suggest "moon reader", it's actually better imo

Trust me, you're better off. Kindle is the "best known about" reading app, but it actually lacks a lot that others have to offer. Try checking out a few different ones, they've come a long way to compete

I have about 760 documents in my Kindle account, and I'm used to read ebook on different devices, and I like the kindle app on my iPad.
The android version is so bad... But I'm "bind" to my Kindle account, so...

Why is it 'bad' to use the Google Play one?
Ok, it has less features and all, but apart from that its working just fine here.
Is there a way to get the 'stock' apk??

You could do one out of three things
A.uninstall the google play update in settings(easiest )
B.reinstall the o.s.(okay)
C. Extract the apk out of a downloaded rom(harder)

Speaking of the Kindle App...
So I rooted my wife's KFHD. I installed Nova Launcher, everything works like she wants except the actual "Kindle app that shows up in the app drawer after a home launcher is installed. When tapped to open it, it does nothing. The only way I can get around that is to tap the Kindle "Home" icon which takes you back to Amazon's hideous Launcher, then tap on "Books" to access available books and the Store. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Kindle app to act normal? I thought I had solved this problem when I installed the Google version of the Kindle app over it and it worked, but I remembered it's not the best idea to do this and if I remember correctly, it only works until the next time the KFHD is rebooted. After the reboot the Kindle app in the Nova Launcher app drawer becomes useless..Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. Yeah it is a problem with the game compatibility on Google Play. Nothing we can do until EA decides to update the app to work correctly on TF 201. I really hope they do update the app to work with this tablet. Owners of the TF201 have lost all official support from ASUS so I hope devs don't drop support on us either.
Random thought, couldn't you download the game to another device that you have rooted and TiBu on, do a backup of the app then restore it onto the 201?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
I've found what the incompatibility is all about..
dowloaded the apk from zipfiles and installed the game. when you first start the game you have to give a username but the game does not like the attached keyboard so everything locks up.
If you do the first start without the keyboard attached you can fill in the username with the onscreen keyboard and after that you can play the game either with or without the keyboard attached.
So the only problem is initial startup,thats it. Game works perfectly on the TF201

Wait so how exactly do you download the apk? Is there a safe website to download the apk and sideload it? Because I don't want to download an infected virus app. Also does the tablet need to be rooted? Mine is currently non-rooted and stock.

All I will say is that I downloaded the apk from a site one might usually go to for torrents. Some sort of inlet where buccaneers might hang out. My device is not rooted and runs stock firmware. The apk installs fine, and the app runs fine. Is it safe? Who knows? Personally, I think I will uninstall it and wait for them to update it for my device. If it did have bad malware, the damage may already be done.

Hi guys. My HDX 7 is still running 13.3.2.1, should I update or stay at current firmware hoping for some root method? I just want YouTube, Google Play and a normal launcher. I don't really care about Amazon services.

It is possible to make the HDX more "Android-like" without rooting it. Because root seems distant I've spent some time working on and have shared on my blog how to pull it off:

If you want the real YouTube app and you have another android device like a phone or something just use esfile explorer add a drop box account and copy the YouTube apk out of your data/app folder, then install esfile explorer on your kindle add drop box go to were you saved the apk and install it, like cevyn says you can actually get pretty far without root
