I just installed it (via dropbox) because someone said it's a good alternative to the android market and also has apps the other one doesn't (plus free apps daily doesn't hurt) and I'm happy I did!

having the same issue with it asking me for an SD card :(

unrooted Nook Color with android market - nookie froyo on sd

This is so great for us those who want to use the SD card approach to getting froyo - i used Nookie Froyo - couldn't get the store to work. Now with Amazon- i just logged in to my email- clicked on the link emailed to you by amazon- it downloaded (you do have to allow other apps from installing as per their instructions) and it works perfectly- once you have the appstore installed- go ahead and start installing- now you have apps possible without actual android market - oh yeah! and no rooting here!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] budven:
I downloaded it straight to my nook and then installed it using ASTRO and it works fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ArmitageID:
So, are others with NC + Honeycomb v4 eMMC unable to load RIO? I moved it from SD to internal memory, but it still bombs out when I go to through some birds. The title screen and little intro movie play fine, just when you are getting ready to get down to business it quits.

On a side note, Angry Birds works without issue, but Angry Birds Seasons crashes a lot for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] soundman87:
I'm Running CM7 and the Amazon App Store installed fine for me, however it will not let me download Angry Birds Rio. It says I already own the app and to find it under the All Tab of My Apps section. But nothing is listed there!

Edit - Nevermind. Uninstalled appstore and reinstalling did the trick.

THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for the help! Very easy to follow and got the job done!!

Settings, applications, check unknown sources..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dereksurfs:
Hmm,

I got everything working down to the last step, app store installed, app selected and purchased (Angry Birds Rio - free). I even got an email notification of the purchase from Amazon.

But once I try to download it just hangs while downloading the app. It shows Download in progress... But it never fully downloads? I've tried three seperate free apps - same thing.

Its almost like the download is being blocked for some reason. And yes, I've made sure allow non-market apps was checked/unchecked/re-checked.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Derek
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Atahachi:
Appstore install was straight forward. However when I tried to download Angry Birds Rio I get a message saying there is nothing to download. Just tried with a pay app, they took my money fine but get the same nothing to download message.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 71CH:
I download the appstore and downloaded some apps (including Rio) but I can't open anything without it forceclosing on me. Any suggestions? I'm running nookie froyo emmc.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
Wow amazons app store is how an appstore should be like
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
Agreed! I think its much nicer than the default Android Market. Either way, I think having Amazon's app store and the Android Market will be good for the consumer as it creates some good competition.

Angry Birds Rio
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
it doesnt lag my nook when downloading or installing either,
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Double C:
Thanks for the info to uncheck and check the 'install non market apps'. That worked for me!!!

This forum has been very helpful.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xwint3rxmut3x:
There's more than just Angry Birds Rio as a reason to get the amazon appstore. I went for it for Rio, but it's also worth noting that they're going to give away 1 free paid app everyday. Today they're giving away the World Series of Poker App ($4.99?) and they also have another amazon exclusive app with the game Highborn. Definitely worth keeping installed and watching what else Amazon is able to grab exclusive deals on. I can also confirm the appstore works on CM7
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] texnote:
I installed the Amazon app store and downloaded and installed Angry Birds Rio successfully.

However I can only launch Angry Birds if I search for it. It doesn't appear in my "Extras".

Also the only way I can launch the Amazon app store is to type amzn.to/getappstore in my browser, and select Appstore from the "Complete action using" dialog box that pops up.

How do I fix these? I have just rooted my NC and everything on it works fine (Google Market, Youtube, ...). Not sure how to change my home screen to show various icons/shortcuts - can I use super launcher from super manager (how?). BTW super manager shows the app store and angry birds rio apks installed.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xwint3rxmut3x:
When I was running the stock version of android I installed zeam as a launcher to get to everything (other launchers work too, that was just my preference) ... also stuff didn't show up in my extras until a reboot. Not sure if that helps..hopefully it does
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] painter_:
The Nook app is not available in the amazon app store.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] flashfox:
I kept on having the same error message and after reading your post, I unchecked and rechecked the "allow non-market apps" box and it worked! I would not have thought to uncheck and recheck that box ;-) Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] texnote:
Thank you! I had totally forgotten about the reboot. Did it and all is well. Now I have to look for a good light weight launcher. Will check out zeam.

Thank you again!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] skwalas:
Amazon appstore is DRMed!!!

Be warned! Any app you download through the amazon appstore will be LOCKED if you ever deregister the device! I know: i just did it (to switch accounts) and AB Rio is now locked until i re-register.

Major suck-ballz way to set it up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] richdaley:
Same here. I have the same configuration and it bombs out before I get to shoot my first bird. It looks so cool. I with it would work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xwint3rxmut3x:
That is annoying. Thanks for the heads up. The other thing it's doing that's annoying the crap out of me is I can't get the appstore to stay closed. It's not eating up a ton of ram, but I also don't see the need to have it open all of the time.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] comdei:

The free app per day rocks! I think today is Shazam too!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] eghill1125:
Has anyone figured out how to get apps you do not want from showing up on the Amazon App Store after deleting them from the NC?

I had to delete the WSOP free app today because no matter what I did, it kept wanting me to update it and everytime I did, it installed and still wouldn't play in full screen. Now when I go into the app store, it is there wanting to be installed again and the directions on Amazon say to click not to show app in list again, but I do not see that anywhere in the Amazon App Store..

I just want it to go away and not show anywhere again. It is uninstalled on my NC, but still coming up in the app store itself.. :confused:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
can you use the "save for later" option?

Open the Amazon app store, hit the menu button and select "My apps" and then select all. Select your app and after selecting it, there is a save for later option.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] eghill1125:
Didn't get rid of them. They still show up in the New and All tabs as Install. I have tried about everything and I don't see any way of them disappearing from the list on the app or on the website for Amazon.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
I don't really think this is any different than the Android Marketplace. Once you buy an app, it stays in your list of apps even if it's not installed. I don't see an option to get rid of it either (since I tested this issue with todays free app).

My suggestion would be to contact Amazon and see if they can remove it....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
Not sure if anyone noticed, but there is already an update to the Amazon App Store. I'm not even sure what changed...

I received notice for the update right away on my phone this morning, but didn't get notified on my NC until after I had rebooted it. The version is release-1.07003.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 911jason:
According to this:

Amazon.com > Your Account (upper right corner) > Digital Content: Your Apps and Devices

To remove an application from the "Apps to Install" list without installing/updating it:

Select the application you want to remove

Check the box "Don't include this in the new apps list"

You can always come back and uncheck this box if you want the app to show up again later
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] miniaturepeddler:
Yep the store works flawlessley with c7!! downloaded several apps, including Adobe Acrobat, which I hadn't been able to access via the normal Android store for some reason (failed to be recognized as 'safe' for the nook C7 I guess).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Mjailme:
Worked great on the froyo. used it to try out the free keyboard they offered yesterday.

Downloaded Angry Birds Rio this should be some nice competition for B&N App store if it ever comes out...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] designjb:
Totally lost re: "allow non-market apps"

Hi, everyone! First post, and sorry its so long — I'll be as brief as possible... ;)

I've scoured Google, this forum and even looked under the couch cushions, but I can't figure this one out. Here's the scoop, and my question:

-- Purchased NookColor for my wife for Christmas, stock firmware 1.3. I registered it with B&N and it auto-updated to 1.4.1.

-- Created a bootable micro-SD using "4gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img" via a Macintosh PPC iMac

-- Rooted the NC using "manualnooter-5.12.20.zip" and everything worked GREAT! (BTW, big thanks to all of you guys who slave away coding this stuff so newbs like myself can actually use the software!)

-- Downloaded the "Amazon_Appstore-release.apk" from Amazon via the NC (apk is in My Downloads)

-- Launched NookColor Tools. Checked and unchecked the unmarked green checkbox (next to the text: "For this to work, the app's apk file must be copied to /system/app.....")

-- Tried using Ghost Commander (as well as File Expert) to copy the Amazon apk into /system/app directory but it errors out each time saying that the directory is protected (sorry, I didn't copy down the error message), and won't allow it.

I've tried fixing the permissions; attempted to connect to copy the file via adb wifi to the NC ( no luck doing this, btw), and searched in vain for this elusive "allow non-market apps" checkbox. (My Samsung Infuse phone has this checkbox so I've seen it, but for the life of me, I cannot find it on the rooted NC in ANY of the Settings screens.)

Btw, when I launch NookColor Tools > All Settings, I have 3 identical buttons that display "Settings com.android.settings": The first button links to the standard NC settings screen which only lists Device Settings and App Settings. The second identical button will repeatedly error out, crash the NC, and clear ALL of its data taking the NC "back to factory" (I then have to re-register and re-root the device. I've been able to repeat this error.). The third button allows me to choose a GSM/UMTS band.

Am I looking in the wrong place? Is the second button the one that normally houses the "allow non-market apps"? Sorry, for the epic fail on this one, but I'm totally stumped... :(

Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,

Jason
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Butcher98:
When you download it there is no need to move the file, just install it. Go to settings / applications / and check the box that says Unknown Sources. Then navigate to the file you downloaded and select it to install it. Hope this helps ya.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rnclock:
Butcher98 is correct. You should not need to move it and can install from where it downloaded at, just make sure to have "Unknown Sources" checked in settings>applications

As for the protected issue, thought I would throw an FYI out there for future reference. You need to use a program that allows 'ROOT' file management. I personally use root explorer. This allows you to take system directories and make the R/W instead of 'read-only'. Just and FYI. Hope you enjoy.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dhahne:
I have successfully installed the Amazon App Store app but am getting some sort of error when I try to download an app. The app launches with no problems. Checking settings I can see that I am logged in to my Amazon and I have in-app purchasing enabled. After finding an app I want I hit the "get app" button, it goes to the download screen and then a white box shows up with an OK button and click here link. When I click the link a message flashes quickly in the white box about verifying payment information. This is a free app I am trying to download. Do I have to have credit card information on file with Amazon to get free apps? Or is there something else wrong?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Blue6IX:
Yes - on the credit card info.

A gift card is sufficient, I use the Visa Vanilla ones. Even if it's spent down to almost nothing.

They need a CC on file to process the paperwork in-house, even if it's just a spent gift card, it's gotta be something. Internally they process it like a normal transaction, which you can't do without a payment method.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I've even used a completely empty visa gift card. I made the mistake of not changing it when I bought something at amazon.com and it made me switch to a new card.

I know a while ago there was talk of cotulla and friends getting WM6.5 to run off SD, does anyone know anything from irc or anywhere if this was completely abandoned?

would be pretty cool.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
haven't heard anything, though not too up to date on the IRC stuff.

but no talk here minus that one post by cotulla.

if i may, what is on WM that android doesn't have? i don't use my phone but for a few programs (specific work things) and modding is mainly a distraction for me...but am curious how a dual-OS existence works in real life. just pondering. (now i am all about the development as well, it is bad ass to have options, but just philosophizing..if that is a word...)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
well currently I have WP7 and Android dual-boot. The reason it's nice is because WP7 does have a couple games I like and just for the "fun change OS" factor. Practically speaking neither WM6.5 nor WP7 have anything really functionally better, but I miss playing "experiment 13" on WM6.5 and I also wanted to play with all of the new CHT goodies I see for fun. It's more of an enjoyment thing than any real practical need.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
I dual boot between 6.5 and android.

6.5 for work when I need a solid data connection and a no nonsense browser (opera 9.7).

Android at home when I want to use the XDA app and look at pictures of cats hiding in shoes....

About 6.5 from SD.

I think it may take them some time as Wm as an OS is somewhat more awkward and tricky to tinker with than android. As far as porting it is concerned. That's what I read somewhere anyway....

It would be great to have winmo on sd:) many of us could then go to nand Android having opportunity to boot winmo as alternative. For example I have my beloved gps soft on winmo...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
I too think it would be great to boot Win Mo from SD. This would give poople the awsome ability to still use Win Mo after that have went NAND Andriod or WP7. I myself still use the stock Win Mo ROM as my daily and preferred OS cause it fits me better and my needs better. But if I was abale to boot Win Mo from SD I would give WP7 a try for a while. I like Andriod well enough but it is just not as functional to me plus I can running it from SD anytime I want so I see no reason to go NAND.

I do think it will take a good bet longer to achieve this ability though cause compared to Andriod Windows Mobile is a much larger OS and it is written with different code. But if anyone can do it is the Cottula and the rest of DFT.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
I agree it would be nice. Actually having all the OS options on boot would be nice. Just was curious what people use in Wm that isn't available elsewhere. Cool!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
To answer your queatuon it is really not that things in Win Mo are not avaliable in other OS'c but that so much comes built into Win Mo and for the functionality of it is more complete, atleast for me. Take things like internet sharingl/tethering and WiFi sharing. With Win Mo all you have to do is install the application and you are good. With Andriod you have to root the device for this and many more things. I like the full functionality of Micosoft Office compared to it on other mobile OS's. I like the feel of Win Mo too as it is more like a mobile PC or a extention of your home or office PC. Plus Win Mo is a true stand alone OS where as Andriod runs on top of Linux. Also to me Andriod feels more like a childs toy than a truly functional OS. Now I have not had but a limited amount of experience with WP7, but to me it is less functional than Andriod and more of a reversion to a some what dumb phone OS as it gives you limited capabilities and interface. That is just my opinion.

Very much down to whoever cooks the Roms. Once such a port is achieved anyone will be able to build roms so you'll get one of your choice.

[Epic 4G General] samirv:
Hi,

After getting my Samsung Epic 4G last year, I had rooted, wiped and installed Epic Experience - Version 1.2.09 [11/22] - Eclair (DI18). All was well !! :-)

Yesterday I decided to try Epic Experience - Version 2.0.08 [03/05] - Froyo (EB13) and followed the necessary steps to change file system. I used Odin with CWD3 to do this. After installation I noticed that the youtube app would open and display videos but none of the youtube videos would play (kept getting a "this video cannot be played, touch to retry" error for any video that I tried to play. It worked fine on wifi but not on 3G. I then noticed that the Bluetooth would not turn on. Everytime I clicked on it, it would say turning on and go back to the off status after about 15 seconds.

Confused I decided to go back to wipe, go back to stock with Odin and go back to Android 2.1 - i.e. Epic Experience - Version 1.2.09 - here also faced the same issues with Bluetooth and youtube.

Went back to stock through Odin and everything is working fabulously.

Tried Epic Experience Roms v1 and v2, tried Nebula roms, tried Syndicate Rom, and finally tried Viper Rom v2 with the correct procedure and wiping between each. Noticed that with ANY custom rom I cannot get Youtube videos to play or Bluetooth to turn on. It works absolutely fine with stock Sprint Rom ONLY.

Even formatted the SD Card.

Does anyone have any suggestions ?? I am at my wits end.

Could this be linked to rooting to CWD3 ??

[HTC Incredible S] Chad_Petree:
I wanted to get an inspire 4g but the crappy battery life and almost impossible to remove battery cover (for using an extra battery) turns me off so i was thinking of getting the incredible s but my provider uses 850/1900 3g bands , has a model with those working bands been announced? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
well gsmarena suggests that this phone already has the ability to use those 3g bands

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_incredible_s-3788.php

Rather unhelpfully HTC's own website only lists "AWS" as a band rather than specifying the frequencies used (though i think they may be).

http://www.htc.com/uk/product/incredibles/specification.html

Best option is probably to ask someone who's out there though i think there's been success in using this in the USA.
[HTC Incredible S] Chad_Petree:
what the hell is aws? i checked gsm and looks like it could work, it says

3G Network	HSDPA 900 / 2100

HSDPA 850 / 1900 - North America

I hope someone in the us can confirm this! :D
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Just got this off my INC s:

the radio freq bands mine is allowing

"8.GSM_DCS_1800"

"9.GSM_EGSM_900"

"24.GSM_850"

"26.GSM_PCS_1900"

"27.WCDMA_I_IMT_2000"

"30.WCDMA_IV_1700"

"34.WCDMA_VIII_900"
[HTC Incredible S] sbryan12144:
The specs for the Incredible S says basically it won't work for the provider that your using. The Bell is rumored to receive the device which means if that happened, that specific model will have the 3G bands you desire. It's supposed to be released on April 4th. It's a rumor though so don't get your hopes up.
[HTC Incredible S] greengiant:
As an employee of one of Bell's dealer stores I can certify that it's in our system but there's no release date yet.

Bell uses 3G 850/1900 HSPA bands only for their service.
[HTC Incredible S] Hitec Wireless:
Yes Bell does release this model for sure on April 4

[Droid 2 Android Development] kiwilit43:
Verizon has software called Data Pro that allows you to take constant RSSI readings from the phone and map them in the software to have a visual indication of areas with/without good coverage. I know that this software will work with the original Droid, but I am having problems getting it to work with the Droid 2. Essentially the software needs to recognize the phone on a communication port when connected to my XP laptop, but I can not get the Droid 2 to show up under any of my comm ports. Anyone with experience with Data Pro know if the Droid 2 will work? Or does anyone know how to get the Droid 2 to show up under my comm ports when connected? Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeroize:
It seems that every android app has a unique app ID. I've found a couple of "modified" apps that share the same ID, and one of the problems is that the desktop icons can't stick in the desktop position you put them, because this ID is used to identify the app shorcut.

I found this error reported by the homescreen app and the log is stored in a text file in the default android folder for errors (I can't remeber the name). So I know for sure that the problem is the ID. Where is this app ID stored and how can i modify it?

Thank you! ;)
