Anyone gotten Google Earth to run? For me it just stutters at startup in a loop that only a power off will kill.
Running TNT Lite 2.20
I can't find it in the market. Found an APK, but it look like it want to open for s split second then nothing happens.
No luck on mine either
I want to zoom around the earth!
No luck here either, google sky map works, but no earth
hi,

seems like they randomly pull it or something for some devices. i had it on my fascinate, then lost it and couldn't find to re-install. then it came back, now it's gone again.
All that I got was a splash screen. No functionality on a stock gTab with updates thru Xmas Eve.
I have it working but it took a GPS feed to get past the splash screen.

I got google earth to work by copying the three backed up files in Titanium Backup folder in my Nexus One into gtab TB folder and restored it fully functional.

Hi,
I got my nook rooted. Thanks to everyone that created the tools. after I got youtube,gmail and market working, my youtube no longer works.
So I was going to install the new youtube from market. I went to market and searched for youtube, it comes back and says 580 results for "youtube". but it only shows 10 and i don't see any way to go to a next page and the official google youtube app is not in the first 10.
How can I page through the market's apps? and once i get that figured out, is it ok to uninstall the youtube app and install the new one from market, or will that mess up my nook?
this is my first experience with android, and i must say it's amazing how much stuff is out there for it!

To fix youtube download titanium backup from the market, open it up, click the youtube app, clear data.

Hello there. I was wondering how you use the droidx id to fool the market? Thank you in advance.
Pretty much what it says in the thread title...I just did a Market update on my CM7 install and it showed an update for the Nook app to support magazines and newspapers. The only major functional difference between the stock reader and the market reader now is kids' read-to-me books. Nice update!!!
That's great, although it is lame that kids books aren't supported yet, even the *pad supports those!
Just updated, and couldn't get anything to work right! Just cleared the cache and rebooted to see it that helps
Great will update that's what was missing

Well allllright! Now I don't have to resort to annoying work arounds to read The Onion and Asimov's Science Fiction on the market Nook reader. It supports more magazines now too (for example, PC Gamer was "Nook Color" only, now it's "Nook Color" and "Nook for Android (Tablet)" which apparently means us...makes me curious how it's deciding what is a tablet and what isn't, if it makes a distinction...screen resolution I presume), so it's work a look for anyone who got some magazines on the Nook Color and can't read them now because they are on CM7 or something.
I think the interface is a bit better as well.
My books disappeared
I have a number of books loaded on my SD card( in the correct directory). After the update the books don't show up.
Any ideas?
edit: They showed up. Just had to wait a few minutes.

I'm not sure what to say, I didn't have any problems. Have you tried refreshing the the app? (that is, presing the refresh button up near the top of the screen underneath the search button within the app?)
I can't get the update to run on my nook color with 1.2 and manualnooker. There's an icon but when I tap it nothing happens no force close screens no error messages nothing. It's like the app isn't even installed.
I've got the same issue on my stock rooted original. Maybe it's not working because I haven't updated to the newest software version.
I also tried running it on my nexus, but my magazines will not show.

I'm running CM7, but why are you guys trying to get it to work? You can just use the slightly superior still stock Nook Color reader. I mean, you know, go for it...just curious.

Not everyone has stock (rooted or not) still intact? Never mind, I gotcha (Thought you were referring to the earlier posters rather than later)
On another note, going to the store (and for that matter, any top-bar or bottom bar menu items, like menu, go to library (if in store), info, search) takes a long time to register. It's not my screen, because I can swap in and out of other apps and hit those spots without any lag or problems. Menu is not working for me at all

Its not possible to run Nook app if you are running Stock... doesnt matter which version... at least i never got to run and always found ppl stating the same
some questions
Running cyanogenmod 7.02.
Is it possible to "read in store" when I am in B&N?
Using the nook app, do I have to load the books on the SD card? Can I put them into internal memory?
Thanks in advance
How to get if in Canada
Whats the best way for a Canadian to get this app since the Market restricts it.

Bummer about the small buttons on the top right of the app..
FYI, search will work in app if you use the CM7 Tablet tweek search button. It will call up the BN apps search dialogue box, provided you have the option toggled on to show the search button on the status bar.
Worked great, for my phone

Good, that's about my only real complaint about it right now.
Looks like they didn't fix sideloaded books showing their covers. The nook app is the ONLY reader app that doesn't show my sideloaded books covers. Every other one i tried they work fine. Annoying.
Just be careful what you touch.. I was looking at magazines and saw NatGeo and thought hey, look, maybe I can preview it. So I tapped "Current Edition". Nothing happened. Tapped it again and it confirmed purchase for $6 for a single edition.
I've emailed B&N telling them to remove this and credit my CC back and that they should fix their horrid user interface.
First off it should VISIBLY change when there's money to be paid. Button changes color or BETTER the button is in a different position, such as a pop-up window that says "Your credit card will be charged X dollars, purchase/cancel". Not the same button that apparently is so laggy it doesn't update in time for folks to not realize tapping it twice in a few seconds will purchase it.
Meh.
Ok, while poking around in my system/app folder I found a CarHome.apk, but I don't find in listed under my installed apps. So I tried to install where it was, and I moved it to the sd card and tried to install it from there. Both times it said "Application not installed". Any guesses on how I might be able to get this to install? I'd really like to be able to use it.

It is installed already...kinda. through Adw launcher, long press on the home screen click custom shortcut, pick activity, activities, scroll down to car home and expand it and then click on Car Home (.CarHome)
I'm sure other launchers other than stock can do this too, but I don't have them to test them and give the step by step...

Got a home screen icon working as per the instructions here. Hmm... I wonder if lg didn't add the launcher apk because the car home screen is supposed to come up automatically when the phone enters "car mode"...
Update
Looking at VZW's accessories for the revo shows a car "Navigation Mount" that looks pretty phone specific. I'd imagine that there's a magnet embedded in there that switches the phone to car mode. Now if I can just find a magnet lying around here somewhere....

Okay time to add on to this quick post at the start of the thread. I am running this on VeGan Tab as the ROM of choice. The App switches from portrait to landscape mode with a minor reload. The search look exactly the same as before. One of the cool feature is the ability to side scroll between the home screen and categories to the left and top paid, top free, top grossing, top new free, and trending. From each of these you can scroll up and down. The scrolling is just a tiny bit laggy but not a hugh issue. Clicking on an app opens a nicely laid out window which fills the entire display and is well laid out in my opinion. The one odd issue is when you click on the screen shots they only display in portrait mode. Also the movie preview streams are excellent they do not lag even on my slow internet connection.
It is my recommend for all tablet users 2.2 and higher to install this update to the app store

What I know of this update is that it is for 2.2 and higher. from the google blog...
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
So I take it this is not on the HC builds and it can be used on the HC builds. As with anything like this your mileage will vary. I just put my two cent worth in on the update.
Tried on Stock 3588 but no go which of course I did not think it would work.
I like the new Market however I keep getting a force close if I try to add a customized icon shortcut via Better Cut. I have to drag the app icon from the application menu & add it to my launcher bar, which is fine but I can't use a customized icon.
I am running this on Flashback rom with no problems.
Actually have two Markets to pick from for now so I'll wait and see which I like better.
Downloaded Zinio from new market and updated a few apps no problem.
Now if we can get Netflix to work on Flashback this would/will be a great tablet and replace my laptop.
Anybody try it on HC yet? I really like the layout of the HC market.
any hack fix for this version of the market

Anyone tried it on Honeycomb yet?

Had this happen to me but doing something different. Before you go wild and try a lot of things, I found out that this may be caused by your contacts getting corrupted. If you have Titanium backup and can get into it, wipe your contacts/account data and you'll be fine.
If not, you most likely DON'T have to NVFlash your device- just wipe your data&cache if you have CWM recovery installed.
Whoa... Nice improvements. This is SLICK!

Yeah, the contacts don't have anything to do with the market so Im not even going to bother. Are you runing Vegan Gingeredition? If you are it may be safe to assume that the issue is a conflict there. Need more feedback from others running Vegan GE to know for sure. For know I just reverted back to the orig market and it runs fine, I don't plan on renting any movies anyway, (not that they play on rooted devices) so not having the new market doesnt bother me a lot.

Hi All,
I managed to use the method shown here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/themes-apps/play-store-amazon-5-4-0-root-t3669740 to download google play.
This worked well, and I managed to download and use apps from the play store. Eventually I decided to organise all my apps into folders, taking it from 2 screens of apps into 1. I then turned off the tablet overnight. After I rebooted this morning, everything worked normally, apart from the fact new apps downloaded from the store wouldn't have an icon appear. The apps still work perfectly, they just don't have icons on the screen which is mildy frustrating.
Any help on this would be great!

This is an increasingly frequent complaint with recent builds of FireOS 5.6, especially in the HD 10. Root cause is not apparent and there does not appear to be a durable workaround at the moment. My guess is a 'glitch' snuck into the stock launcher that will be addressed in a future update. Conspiracy minded members will claim Amazon is up to no good. Will see where it goes.
For now not much you can do other than wait for a fix or attempt to use a different launcher with accompanying pros/cons.

I just got my son a Fire 8 for xmas and it has the latest 5.6.0 software and I got all the google stuff installed and was working great. He downloaded a few games and apps with no issues then he downloaded 2 other apps (games) and they didnt get added to the home screen (stock fire launcher) and the only way to get to them is through the Play Store pretty much and then select Open from there. Is there any way to get them added to the home screen? They will show up in the recent apps but after you use a few other apps its gone. Its frustrating to say the least.
EDIT: I tried the force stop and clear data thing and it didnt work. Still missing app icons on the home screen. If I install Nova Launcher or something though they all show up in the app drawer. Im on the fence with this Amazon Fire at the moment.

I did not but I did delete the 2 apps and then later did a reboot and then just reinstalled them to see if it would have issues again and this time they both showed up on the home screen. I hope my kid doesnt run into issues and cant find his apps if he installs them. Either way, they are there now and hopefully no more issues. Fingers crossed.

Hi, I just got my first fire hd 7th 'gen. I tired the hack and I do have google working on the it now, but like others here my apps on the home screen are not showing up ( the ones I installed the day of the hack are fine).. it is the apps I have installed the say after that are not showing up on the home screen, I had files ready to go but... HO hum!
what I call Add/Remove: they do show up, but unlike a phone or windows. I have no clue how to fix this. since it seems you can't drag and drop from a master folder within the system.
I have seen where you got your home screen working again, but I don't know enough about the Fire 7th Gen yet.. can you or someone be so kind to point me to the correct place where I will find the launcher?
better yet, tell me what the launcher is.
Also on the search, is there a way I can get a google toolbar installed? I dislike using bing. I have to say I do so love my Google tools. and I miss my google search bar I had on my cell phone..
