ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though

We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...

Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.

Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.

Here it Is

enjoy it works for me...

Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.

I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial

Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?

I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.

Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?

Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.

I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.

[Q] Over clocking DIY thread...

I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.

I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.

DecaFuct Max 768Mhz Kernel
DecaFyct Max 698Mhz Kernel
Decad3nce's Kernel OP Thread
These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.

Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?

Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.

You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.

Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though

What does resigned mean?

ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?

Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.

awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.

Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

Ok what rom are you running again?
I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose

The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.

use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?

Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

[Q] noob questions

I have never used anything android before and just want to make sure before I decide anything.
Rooting will delete anything currently on my NC Correct? So all my books will be gone Right? Second, will I be able to reconnect to my account and re-download my books?
I have a stock NC with 1.1.0 and want to root so I can tweak the cpu and make it work with ad hoc so I can connect it to my phone, but I want to make sure that I can still access tn b&n shop, plus maybe get angry birds or something... ;-)

For rooting 1.1, one quick option is the unofficial auto-nooter 3.0 in the Development forum. I would consult the nook devs website and follow their instructions for version 1.01. They are a bit more clear about how to go about things. Look around at the other options to see if you might prefer them instead.
I don't think auto-nooter will clear your data. Consult the nook devs page to double check.
Auto-nooter will definitely allow you to get angry birds and the like.
Truthfully cannot help you with the rest, sorry.
And thats my first XDA post. I sincerely hope this helped and that I didn't get anything wrong. A little new to this myself, but I wanted to contribute.

If you use the AutoNooter 3.0 it will not Delete anything on your internal memory for your Nook color. However you will need to use a SD card to write the Nooter to and anything on that SD card will be erased so back it up first. you will still be able to use all the features of the Nook Color after rooting Except For the "In Store" Features such as reading a book free for a hour. but syncing your library and buying from the online store will not be effected.

I suggest you leave your nook in stock rom (not root); and get a fast SD card for running froyo latest build. What rooting gives to you are market and admin access. You can have that from froyo.

flash
hi, i installed autonooter 3.0 now and I was wondering if is there anyway to install flash player to work with this rooted version?

I'd rather not spend money on another SD card. I only have a 4GB class 2 (barebones I know) but I do want to keep the stock, but want to adjust the cpu to make things a little smoother and allow the adhoc for my phone as I don't have wirelss at work. Other than that I love my Nook the way it is so no real need for froyo IMO. As for the in-store options..I have never brought my nook into a B&N lol, so I didn't even know there were in-store options lol.

I would suggest a higher class SD Card. There have been "reports" of low class SD cards not working...not sure where these are...but they have the warnings. They are there for a reason.
I like my root with 1.01 BN Update. I am preparing to un root and apply BN Update 1.1 along with AutoNooter 3.0 over the weekend. I am happy with out Froyo and I am still one of the odd balls that still uses this as its intended purpose...an E-Reader lol
AutoNooter 3.0 is build on Android Eclair 2.1...there is no flash support for this OS. If you want flash support, search the forums here Froyo options to get flash.
Good Luck

How do I sideload an .apk?

Okay something else weird has happened now. When I click NookColor Tools it just brings me to the regular settings menu...
edit: nm reboot fixed it.

new question....How do I edit permissions for folders and such so I can copy/paste an apk into system\app? I don't have root explorer (that is the apk I am trying to move) and I can't get ADB working...I am using the Free version of Astro Filemanager.

I rooted my 1.1.0 and did not lose anything I had on my Nook. I used AutoNooter 3. I bought a class 4 4gb PNY brand microSDHC with adapter and a USB SD card reader. After the root, I reformatted the microSD card to use for the Nook. I am now debating about changing to Froyo so I can use flash, but I'm still researching.

They should be under system/apps. Make sure your browsing the Book and not the SD card. You might need Root Explorer. I can see the apps with Astro, but can't do some things to them with root access.

By fast do understand the sd reader in the nook is rated class 6. Buying a class 10 is a waste of money and can cause problems. I would have mentioned this in the DEV forums but having less than 10 posts elsewhere prevents me from including that information where it is most needed but it should help you.

Nookie Froyo Market Issues

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback in my previous thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958319).
So...I'm running Nookie Froyo on my NC and loving it. I followed the instructions at NookDevs and got youtube, flash, and the market working.....for the most part. I can't see all the apps in the market that I should be able to. Like I said, I followed the NookDevs instructions (twice) for removing the geographic restrictions on the market, but certain apps still aren't showing up. For example, I can see Angry Birds Seasons, but not regular Angry Birds. Another one that springs to mind that I couldn't find was OneClick Widgets. I know there were a few more that don't come to mind now.
Any ideas on why this might be happening? Thanks in advance for any help!
--Adam

I got this too running 1.1 and did auto nooter. I just got my nook 2 days ago so Im reading up on everything still. I was thinking about jumping to at least froyo soon.

No offense, but this should be in general.

After installing Nookie Froyo to SD, getting the Gapps, market, etc... I could see all the apps I use on my HTC incredible or Droid X..

I just did it again, this time using the fingerprint of my X...
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow/shadow:2.2.1/VZW/23.340:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

one other note.. it does try to update Youtube and google maps. I'm not sure if that is safe with this NookieFroyo or not!

same here (10 chars)

The fingerprint isn't the only thing that needs changing on the Nook. You'll need to make sure the Market "believe" you have a certain amount of software and the permissions to go with it.
I won't give you a precise answer, but you could for example compare your system/etc/permissions folder with another "working" android device. You'll see that permissions are often very limited on the nook.
So if you don't care about getting your hands dirty, try copying your permissions from one device to your nook.
Just some ideas.
Sam

Oh, I forgot.. one other thing, because I had problems adding a google account and accessing the market originally, I also did what was listed in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11377098&postcount=14

I am aware i will receive crap for asking. I am a noob and i am having a hard time gaining access to all of the wonderful apps in the marketplace. I have appbrain and it helps. But i would like as much as i could get. Even if someone has a little patience to spend some time with me so that i can become familiar with such would be awesome. If not, oh well.

that looks like the guide for installing Froyo onto eMMC..
What about for those running on bootable MicroSD?

I am still having issues. However, when I connect USB, I can download Market apps. Very strange. Any ideas?

Nookie Froyo Market Won't Download
The easy fix for me . . .after installing the 8gb customized nookie froyo rom was to pull my sd as booting, or as shutting down. This enabled me to finally boot into recovery. Once you do get booted into recovery RE-INSERT THE SD CARD, then FORMAT CACHE (scroll through the various options and you'll find it) Do this, and your market should start working again . . .forget about the clear data, clear cache, force stop, reboot steps. Just format the cache when you figure out how to boot into recovery, as the rom i used didn't boot into recovery when the option was selected from Clockwork. Btw, I am booting from sd with Nookie Froyo, stock nook is untouched.
To summarize
Find a way to boot into recovery
Make sure your sd card is inserted
Format cache and reboot

Customized Nookie Froyo - Can't see market apps
Sorry all, I'm very new to the nook. I did my best to try to look around for an answer to this question, please forgive me if I overlooked something.
Anyway, I put the customized Nookie Froyo on an 8GB SD card and everything has been working great. However, some of the apps wont show up at all in the market. For instance, google maps is not installed, nor will it show up via a query in the market. If I go to market.android.com, it tells me my device is unsupported for the map application.
Can anyone give me a tip to get me started on fixing the issue?
Thanks everyone!
EDIT
Nevermind, I followed the directions on the nookdevs.com tips section and got it working...I just needed to dig a bit further.
Thanks everyone!

cmod7 kindle app - no menu bar when reading

Don't know it this is a setting somewhere or what, but I have a question on using the Kindle app on the Nook Color running cmod 7 (7.20 stable). The app runs okay, but I seem to be missing a navigation bar once I start reading a book. It only shows the title and where I am - no options to go back to the Kindle menu (like if I want to read a different book). The only way I can get back to the Kindle menu is to reboot.
I've searched the forum and the closest thread to this problem talks about changing the settings - I don't seem to have any settings to adjust. Even if I go to settings/applications/manage applications/downloaded/kindle there still aren't any changable options.
Sorry for so many questions - I'm a noob. I've searched the net on this and searched this forum with no luck.
any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

What version of the Kindle app are you using? Try updating to the latest version.
Also try playing with the settings in cm. Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, tablet tweaks, and play with checking and unchecking disable full screen.

Thanks for the reply! I downloaded the Kindle app via Amazon, so hopefully it is whatever is their latest. I sure didn't know about the settings, so I'll give the go and see what happens! I do get the drop down from the top stating the title, and the pull-up from the bottom, but the bottom only has how much I've read so far.
Thanks again!

EDIT: Well, I don't have the tablet options. Everything in there is for a phone! Seems kind of weird on a device that doesn't have a phone.

lost cm settings
I tried the cyanogenmod settings, and while everything there was for a phone, I turned off things like vibrate, etc. - pretty much everything dealing with a phone. Now when I try to go back to cyanogenmod settings, the app aborts.
I also look in the dev settings and see a config file in there that set s default resolutions, etc., and includes an option that looks like it hides the menu bar, so I used terminal (I am familiar with Linux) and checked for such a file for the system but wasn't able to locate one. I'm wondering if there's a setting like that somewhere, as I don't get any back arrows, menu, etc., just on the pages, and was wondering if that was also stopping me from getting the full menu bar in the Kindle app?

So you do NOT see the word Kindle in orange Aa, magnifying glass and three vertical dots and a bookmark icon as well as the blue dot and position in book at the bottom of screen when you touch anywhere that is NOT the far left and far right of the screen?
And you do NOT see the back, home, recent apps and "menu" button in the bar at the bottom of the screen outside of the kindle window?
Dev settings? no such beast in CM7 or CM9
There is a Developer options which has nothing to do with any sort of resolutions..
I suggest you reinstall CM7.2 release from the official site, stay out of ADB, and stay away from all the various "work in progress" roms until you can actually navigate the default device...
I think you probably got a bit happy and broke something .. there is a setting in CM7 settings to disable fullscreen apps from hiding the "menubar" at the far bottom of the screen and that should be under tablet tweaks in the system settings app.

Yep, none of those
Yep - none of those. This was just after getting 7.0 stable installed and loading in the gapps, since the gapps file was dated just slightly after that release. Immediately went and got Kindle and Nook reader apps. Tried them to be sure they looked like they were working and then applied the zip of 7.2 stable. I didn't try the cyanogenmod settings until later when it was posted in this thread. Again, there are no options in there for a tablet - only a phone. I don't mind going back and doing everything over, just as long as I don't end up in that deadly embrace of things aborting and google market not working. I'll let you know what happens.
If I flush out the Kindle cache I can get back to seeing my titles, but that really defeats the purpose of reading on the device.

Something is not right
Okay, I downloaded everything again and made the microSD. I booted the microSD, did the format data/system reset, went to mounts and did the format /system, while there I tried the format /data - it fails. I had noticed before that when the data/system reset is run and completes, I can no longer do anything - I have to manually power off, wait a while, and power back on. Did all that, went to advance and cleared the kelvich or whatever it's call cash. Installed the cmod7.20 stable. Took out the microSD and rebooted. All of my old apps, etc., are still there. I also was looking at settings and see that the settings I changed were under "phone", not using the cyanomod settings app - it still just aborts.
So, what have I got to do to completely clean all this stuff off and then try installing again? As you can imagine, the number of attempts, partial successes, successes (at least I thought it was only the Kindle app that wasn't showing the menu), etc., we're talking all kinds of hours starting Monday night - probably at least 10 hours each day. Now I'm no further than when I started. For now I'm going to load the old 1.4.1 image again for the umpteenth time and hope someone can tell me how to clear this all up, or else recommend a different android that will run on the Nook Color without problems.
I still think if I can clear EVERYTHING (well, not /boot, obviously) so I'm starting with a CLEAN slate again it may help. I just don't have a clue how to do that using cwm recovery.

Still no good
I redownloaded everything again, created the microsd and tried to install 1.4.1 just to get back to a clean starting point. Can't get beyond where it asks for B&N userid/password as the keyboard shows for about 1/2 a second, no matter what I do. So, I tried the format data/system reset again and just loaded in the cmod 7.20 stable. Again, after booting, everything is still there - the google apps and all. How do I get rid of all this stuff so I can try an install from a clean slate? Right now I've been going thru all the data folders I can find and manually removing everything there. I would like to delete a lot of apps, but I never seem to be able to "uninstall".
So, before I start over again, can someone tell me how to clear EVERYTHING (except /boot, /emmc [unless I need to],/sd*) so I have a clean system first?
Thanks!
Dave

Boot to CWM and do a factory reset. If you don't have CWM on emmc, make a bootable CWM SD. You can get one on my tips thread linked in my signature. A factory reset clears /data, /cache and clears any apps you may have installed to SD. It does not touch boot, system or emmc media.

That's what I've been doing - format data/factory reset option from cwm. Before rebuilding the entire microSD on my Windows PC I have also done a complete format of the media. I then boot CWM from the microSD and install the cmod7 7.20 stable zip - I always assumed this was going straight to the device since when I remove the microSD and boot cmod7 is there. However, none of the pre-existing apps are gone - everything is still there.
I've tried using CWM, advanced options, and format /data - it always fails. So I'm wondering if perhaps the format of /data the is part of the factory reset also fails but the script doesn't error out. Right now I'm going through an extremely time consuming task of manually removing the files and folders in /data via the terminal and su so I get the permissions. If there is another quicker way to clear /data I'd sure appreciate knowing. I've tried some of the treed removes from my Linux experience but they don't seem to work.
Thanks!
Dave
EDIT: forgot to mention - I'm trying your partition restores from the link in your signature - only the "safe" ones - I don't to do that partition 2 stuff and really mess up. Perhaps this will clean everything off.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

I followed the link and did the repartitioning and formating with the first 2 scripts (left partition 2 alone!). Installed 7.20 stable - I now have the bar at the bottom of my screens. I'm waiting to format a 16gb microSD then I'm going to try the Kindle app out again, but I'd say this looks REALLY promising! Your scripts did what I wanted to do - they cleared everything out!
Thank you SO much!!!!!
Dave

Thank to everyone!
I just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to all the people who made cwm and cmod 7 so this whole thing would even be possible. Thanks to everyone here who helped me! Now "all" I have to do is just try to learn this! Maybe some place down the road I might try some programming, but I don't know how different it will be from my C using GTK++ on Linux. But first, to learn!
Thank you everyone SO much!

I know you got it all working and I am glad, but just for future reference, the problem you were having probably stemmed from using an old version of CWM. You have to use version 3.2.0.1 or newer or the format of data will fail on the newer nooks. The one in my tips thread is the newest version.

Thanks!

I did look at the the tar file I downloaded when I was trying to install from a 4gb microSD - it does say only 3.0.2.8, so I'm sure the 16gb I ended up installing from was probably the same, so I'll go grab what you recommended!
Since I don't want to have the problem again, I'm DEFINITELY going to follow your advise!
I had another suspicion for what may have happened, and why I had so much problem from the get-go with cmod 7 - I tried someone else's "put android on your nook" thing, which I know tried to root the nook and then dump some stuff in, and that didn't end up working.
I'm just glad your posts have gotten me going correctly!! BTW - the Kindle app works fine now, too!
Again, thank you SO much!!
Dave

Want to make sure I get this all right
You've been such a great help - I hope you don't mind a couple of more questions:
- The new CWM you recommend is the 5.x.x.x that's on the link, correct?
- Are there any newer releases of Android for the Nook Color? Right now I don't know anything about Android (complete noob [LOVE the movie on the registration page!] ). I know someone who is quite versed in all of this he mentioned that I'm running some name (honeycomb or something like that) and that there are newer ones out there (maybe that was honeycomb). At any rate, are there some updates I could run to make this any "better"? I know the version I'm running also seems to think it's a phone - is there one where it actually thinks it's a tablet?
Again, thank you SO much!

Yes that CWM is attached to my tips thread linked in my signature.
You can try CM9 which is tablet based, but it is still in alpha and not as stable as CM7. Don't use honeycomb, it is old and very buggy.

Thanks!
Thanks again for the info! I'll get that copy of cwm right away. Since CM9 is still early, I'll wait on any updates. I really don't know anything yet, but I am having fun with the Nook Color being all Android now. It's nice having the Kindle app and the Nook app - this way have all my books on 1 device, and that works great!
Thanks again!
