Hello, the minion game was messing up on my wifes hd+ so I uninstalled it and went to download it again but google play says it is not compatible. I also would like to put the amazon app store on there for all the games as well. My wife does not want to root her nook, so I just want to put these 2 aps on. I have rooted all of my phones so I am fairly competent, however it is not clear to me what I need to do to only side load aps and not root. I read the barnes and noble super long thread but instead of getting adb to work I read here there is a much easier solution... the problem is I can not figure out what that is! What exactly do I need to do to load these 2 aps, and will they be accessible the normal way, without getting into the extras menu(I have a 2 and a 6 year old that use it). Thank you very much, sorry I have spent all morning reading and I am much more confused now then when I started.
You do not need to root to sideload. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a CWM SD and flash my enable unknown sources zip and you can sideload apps.

You're better off waiting. They discovered a bug that causes the device to be bricked if you format the SD card. There's a fix for said brick, but it's still something that shouldn't be out in the wild.
I was looking for the same thing, so since I don't see anyone posting it I guess its a no on sharing cm7 lol

Isn't the bug only an issue if you are planning on using the SD Card version? I don't see what the problem would be with the internal version...oh well.

So far yes but truth is that eather with warnings or not people(noobs) could still do it lol so... to put an example i have read of 2 guys who wiped all the partitions off course they bricked their device (Judge for yourself).
So let devs work, test more and fix bugs, anyway there are some other bugs too and it other features aren't supported yet like Bluetooth, microphone, etc. I personally stay away of alphas but this time i tested support of apps and few other things but nothing major because i know there can be risks.

The bug is on both versions, and occurs if you try to format/erase the SD Card through the CM7 storage menu. So theoretically as long as you don't do that, you're fine, but I understand the hesitance to share a file that could potentially brick someone's device.
I was using the internal version, and experienced the SD format brick.
After recovering, I've continued to use CM7, primarily because when I tried to go back to the 1.4.1 + root image that's floating around here, I couldn't install market apps anymore. Tablet would reboot every single time I've tried. So I went back to CM7, just reminding myself to never, ever, ever erase the SDcard through the mod.
If you are not careful
I have been very cautious and lucky so far. I Rooted my Nook Tab back in late November by following ADB instructions and then applied many different tweaks including build.prop etc. All directions in these forums must be followed explicitly and you MUST have some working knowledge of ADB and a general understanding of how computers work. I have read every post in this forum and spent many hours researching how the devs were trying to circumvent the bootloader using various exploits. I did try to inject the Chainfire 3D wrapper as to be able to play Tegra Games and got caught in a boot loop and had to factory restore. Over all, I have been very careful. I have read in the forum that others have tried to apply CM7 update by trying to flash the cm7.ZIP file. It is very lucky for these people that in Clock Work Mod (CMW) this mode does not format the internal memory, it just writes to the System/app folder or to the folder that is specified inside the zip file. It is easy to get excited around buzz words like CM7 and CM9. But it is important to net let it go to your head and research thouroughly before hack-a-lackin your tablet. I am very grateful that the Devs rethought the CWM flasher and added the hash checksum so that someone with a bad connection didn't flash a partially downloaded file. I have CM7 on my Nook. Luckily, I didnt try to format an SD card with the Nook, I used an external card reader. The most important thing is, the Devs and the End Users are all going down unfamiliar territory. Research is the WORD. Happy Hacking!!!

I believe you need to unzip straight to the SD on your nook.
So when you extract it you do it directly to the cmw folder okay ill try that

The only ****ing device I've bricked! And! The only device I've had where I didn't think it needed to be rooted or a custom rom. I had to root it, unlock it and put a custom recovery on it. What a dumb ass I am. I'll figure this out but a little help would be nice peeps!

When you go to install from SD check both /download paths for the internal zip.
Probably a dumb question but did you make a nandroid?

I checked every path that it lets me check. The problem was that I didnt download directly from my Prime. I had downloaded it onto my computer and then copied the file to the external SD Card, and CWM does not let me get to the external sd card, only internal memory...
And no, not a dumb question but dumb answer, I did not make a nandroid backup because I'm a [email protected] and forgot. I was just following the instructions late last night and didnt even think about the back up.
*EDIT* I was able to get ADB to work, and it recognizes my tablet... Anyone know how I can push the file onto my tablet? I don't know the directory I should put it in.
Ahh. ****! I'll be working on mine all day tomorrow... I'll see if I can find anything for ya.

Put the rom zip file in the same directory as adb, then do this:
adb push [name of rom].zip /mnt/sdcard/
Go back to CWM and you should see the rom on your sdcard. There is a pretty good walk through of adb here:

Here is a quick place to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
the best advice I can give you are:
1. use CWM to install roms
2. if it requires ADB and requires messing with something in /dev/ either be super careful or dont do it
3. make sure the file you are going to flash using CWM is an actual rom!!!!
4. backup as often as you can
5. READ the WHOLE POST
6. dont work while you are tired, your chance of making mistakes are too high
beware
just stay away from international note..roms are differant..not compatable
Just a friendly suggestion. If you start a thread, try to keep all your questions in there. Double posting is frowned upon. I also wouldn't ask any questions until you've exhausted all your options(search and google). Most noobs will spend weeks or even months reading all the forums and searching google. All the info you could ever want is there. You can also search on YouTube and watch exactly how to do it. If you do these things you'll never have to ask a question again. And if you happen to have a question down the road......no worries....there will always be a new noob that has already asked....I promise I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just wanted to give you a heads up before another member beat me to the punch.

No offense taken bro. I appreciate it. I finally rooted my phone tonight... But the thing is I need a new sd card to back up my stock rom. Which brings me to a new question. How much space does a rom need to be backed up? Cause it says error when I try to back it up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Hmmm. don't make any backups using any apps. Make sure you boot directly to recovery and make backup from there. Are you running cwm touch based recovery? Also, if your external sd has nothing on it yet, you can try to format(which will erase everything) and try again. What root method did you use? Btw, congrats on being rooted! Now all the fun begins!
Edit:space depends on what you have, but you should probably have at least 2gigs available on your external sd. The "ROM space" itself has nothing to do with a backup. If you used Da g's kernel to root, then you still need to flash cwm through Odin before you can make a backup.
Sent from Galaxy Note
I tried to back it up using the newest version of cwm. But here's one more thing that confuses me. When I try not to open titanium it says something about not being able to access root
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Are you sure you're rooted? Do you have superuser app in your app drawer? If you do, make sure you open it up, hit menu, go to settings and check su binary. Also make sure busybox is installed. You can grab busybox installer from the market. You can also grab root checker from the market. This will tell you if root was successful. If you have cwm then you should be able to make a backup whether you're rooted or not. When you go into recovery and hit backup and restore, and then backup, what's the error you're getting?

Lol. It means don't use it. That app was made for a specific kernel for the s2. I'd stay away.
Sent from Galaxy Note
Also, don't use the ROM manager app to make a backup. You have to make the backup folder location in the external sd. That's probably why it's backing up to the internal(cause that's where the folder is). Make the location sdcard/external_sd/clockwork........and so on. I used ROM manager to create the location. That's all you should need that app for. After that, you can get rid of it.

I followed skeptic's guide...kind of...I flashed straight from Hellybean to CM11. Along the way I had a bootloop. No big deal, hold power + Vol. up for 15-20 sec. then three finger into recovery, flash CM11 again, reboot to recovery, flashCM11 one more time. Profit.
Persistence payed off for me. Flash and reboot recovery till it takes.

you might want to try flashing SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
also i had the same issue with the apps not moving to the SD card. there were actually quite a few games i couldnt install. it's an issue, i think, with the original Samsung 16GB class 2 SD cards. kitkat just doesn't like those.
a workaround for that is to install apps with the SD card out of the phone (if you cant install certain apps) and moving apps to the SD card just won't work. you have to upgrade to a newer card (class 6 or higher, i've tried a class 4 and it didnt work)
Well the no apps on the sd card is a kitkat issue, android changed so you can not do this anymore.
You can move their cached data to the sd card which helps some.
Don't know why on the no root, try the update skept linked to. Ya need to upgrade to it anyway regardless...

the sd card thing blows... i think i can actually do that on my s4 though but i know samsung modified the living hell out of kitkat (they actually did a lot right IMO, touchwiz has gotten a lot better imo)
also i didnt have root issues on the cm11 rom on my fassy. supersu should work though.
Well, I installed SuperSU. That runs (I think) but doing a root check with root checker app, it says I don't have root. Strange. Still can't install the xda app. I do like this Rom though. I'm wondering if the gapps I installed has anything to do with it. "PA GAPPS MODULE 4.4" that was suggested someplace in my reading about the installation of cm11. Oh, also I am using a class 10 32 gig sdcard with plenty of space left now so don't think that is a problem.
