For those asking about back buttons, I found this hint elsewhere on this site and it works(plus it's supposedly in the user's manual, but I haven't checked it yet):

swipe your finger from right to left on the notification bar at the bottom of the screen and this functions as a back button--no modifications needed, since it's a standard feature. There's usually a little back button in that bar, but when that button isn't displayed in some apps(as in the DC Comics Comixology app), swiping in that area across the bottom of the screen still works as a back button. Knowing about this and installing Homecatcher eliminated my need for Button Savior.

As for the DC apk, I found it using google and sideloaded it and it works perfectly.

Hope this helps--good luck.

I probably should have mentioned that my nook tablet isn't rooted, so I don't have any idea if the swiping right to left at the bottom of the screen tip works on rooted nooks. Don't see why it wouldn't, though.

I'm running Go Launcher Ex with Homecatcher to bypass the stock home, and I've sideloaded every app I wanted or needed so far, including the new Facebook, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Amazon app store, Kindle Reader, ES File Explorer, Sketchbook Pro Mobile and many others. Absolutely no problems so far--everything works flawlessly.

I need help, I have Nook tablet, non-rooted. I was able to d/l and install some of these apps by d/l with pc then transfer to sd card.

When I tried to use my Nook, click on link, but no download window came up like PC would. I have nook's blocked window unticked.

any clues?

thanks and thanks for the apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] akaCat:
I'm pretty sure that for the very first app you try to sideload, you have to download it to the nook through the browser. That's the only way you'll get the "allow 3rd party apps" window to pop up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
After you've set up your un-rooted nook to allow installing applications from other sources, you may still find some apk's you try to install after downloading directly on your nook won't install--I did, anyway. I tried downloading the problem apk's I encountered onto my computer, then dragged and dropped them on my sd card. I navigated to the files using the nook library, but every time I tried to click on an apk and install it this way, it failed.

So, I installed ES File Explorer (recommended and linked to back on page 1 of this thread), which allows you to navigate through the folders on your sd card in a Windows interface-like way, and this seems to have ended the problem.

I now download the apk's straight to my computer, then drag and drop them on the sd card as before. But now I open ES File Explorer and use it to find the apk files, then double click on them and they install without a problem. This is how I got the new Facebook apk installed, for example--it was one that was repeatedly giving me headaches and not installing after downloading directly from the browser to the nook. I should stress here that not too many apk's won't install when downloading directly to the nook, but I encountered just enough that I needed a solution. So far, ES Explorer hasn't let me down--everything I've tried with it has worked. ES will also let you quickly find and delete downloads and old apk's you don't want on your card anymore.

Awesome list so far. Can't wait until I get my nook and put them on!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Of course, B&N blocks this function.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
DropBox is your friend

I use DropBox.

Use your computer and find all the apk goodness you want. Save them to your dropbox.

(asuming you have installed dropbox on your Nook), simply open dropbox, click the apk file, when it pulls the file down from the cloud, it will bring up the install dialog.

Magic ensues.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dapooh65:
Thanks AKA CAT for your quick reply. Yes, indeed, I did sideload it the for the 3rd party app thru nook's browser. For some reason, this particular app did download by nook's without any problems. Others apps listed here just not showing up. I had to download by laptop to sd card then take the sd card to the nook. That's the only way i know how. I was wondering if any of you know how to d/l directly with nook.

thanks again.

btw...how do u make the icons larger on go launcher? Mine are tiny and far apart.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] birdydon:
Agreed. Dropbox is good and you can share an apk with others.

I installed an FTP server on the Nook. Then, using an FTP client on my desktop computer, I send the apk to a convenient place on the sdcard and install from there.

It's best to have the apk stored externally as a backup either on your desktop computer or in cloud storage (Dropbox).

Google Maps My Location??

Getting directions from google maps works for me. But i can't seem to get my current location using google maps. It keeps giving me an error saying to enable a my locations source in the system settings. I can't seem to find one though...

Any IDEAS??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
Would I be correct to think these are for a rooted NT? Perhaps others in the list also? If these can be sideloaded onto an un-rooted NT could you please give instruction as to how. Perhaps after the links the could say rooted or un-rooted so we wouldn't have to keep bothering you. ;) Also when I go to the links above I get a threat warning should I ignore that in this case? Thank you for all of your help. I am enjoying learning from all of you.

*I said go for it and ignored the warning I received. As soon as I told it to remove the 'frame' from the top of the page my download started. I now have both apps installed on my Un-rooted NT. Now off to see if I can find a google earth!!! Thanks a bunch for all you do!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spoland:
They will work fine on an un-rooted Nook Tablet. And the website is fine, there shouldn't be any popups/threats/anything. There are a few ads but that's it. It's my server but I figured it would be better hosting them there than somewhere else that may be slower or full of spam. And you're welcome!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PrivProg:
I don't have my nook yet .. hopefully on the 25th.

However, since there is no GPS in the nook you can't get current location. Perhaps network location may be attainable some way, but of course you would need wi-fi while travelling, either really good civic wi-fi (haha where is that) or linked to a phone with 3/4 g (hotspot , wifi tether etc...).

I don't think there is a good solution for this because the hardware support simply isn't there.

sqlite

Hey guys trying to find a copy of Astro file manager and SQlite that I can side load. All other links I've found are for file sharing sites that my current network is blocking.

Thanks spoland. Awesome post.

I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks since rooting my NT using Indirect's method. I've been looking for 2 apps in particular that the market won't let me have - saying they are incompatible with my device (though they worked fine on my NC).

Any chance someone here can point me towards how to get:

2. I think we ought to create a complimentary sticky detailing our "wish list"---those apps we WANT to get running on NT.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
If you still have B&N capabilities (if you haven't gotten rid of B&N apps in a root or debloat process) Evernote is available as a free app from the B&N store. I assume that once you download and install it you should be able to sync it up on all your devices.

re-install Facebook after root

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing?

Make sure to install using the 'package installer' and NOT the 'app installer'.

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

I have had good luck pulling .apk from a rooted Android phone and installing (side loading) on a rooted Nook Tablet.

Prime example is the Facebook app.

I made sure that Facebook was the latest version on my old (rooted) HTC Hero, then I used the app 'root explorer' to dig out the Facebook.apk (its not named Facebook.apk)

Then I brought the .apk to the NT (Nook Tablet) via email or DropBox or file transfer using my PC.

Then I installed it. From my experience you have to choose 'package installer' ...NOT 'app installer' ...for this to work.

**Since my NT was stock, only long enough to turn on wifi and download the files needed to root... I have no practical experience with an unrooted NT.

Please identify whether or not you are using a rooted NT or not. This will help to some degree.

Anyone know where to locate a tablet-specific version of Gmail? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winsettr:
Since the NT runs Android 2.3 (technically a phone OS, 3.0+ versions are tablet OS) the tablet version of Gmail will not work; the Google framework is different.

problems with two-step Google account sign in

I've encountered the same exact problem trying to get android market (and Gapps) to work. What do you mean by "add the nook as a new application"? I'm stumped. Forgive the n00b question.

Otherwise, I've used Go launcher and ES file explorer together to sideload pretty much everything I needed except Gapps and android market (hence problem above)

I'm not rooted, btw.

Playing around with my nook tablet and I was having trouble with hulu plus (it would constantly buffer). Uninstalled it without backup in order to install latest version from market. Of course market version not compatible. Can someone please rip the apk from their backup and post for me. Thanks a bunch...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
Adding the Nook as a new application is only something you would need to do if you are using the Google Two Step Authentication for sign in.

If you have set this up, you would need to go to your Google account settings and add the Nook as a trusted device.

I would suspect that you are having a different problem.

I made sure to root my device as soon as possible and block the OTA update. So things may work differently for me.

did you somehow get updated? ..and now the ability to use or install apps is missing?

check your version.

I have a big respect too. They works more for sgs compared to samsung.

OK, do tell us now why you don't use symbian and your dislike for iOS or maybe even WP. And than tell us about why you don't use other stock.zip roms and make sure you do the same about every custom kernel as well.

Should we all now write posts about it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
Sounds like you hate CM7. Although I'll just take your post as an informative reminder for people debating on whether to jump from stock to CM7.
