Amazon app store - Nook Touch Themes and Apps

I managed to get Google market to work fine on my STR, but not Amazon app store. It opens, but whenever I try to download something, it looks like it is starting, but the download is aborted.
Any ideas?

I've had a similar problem. Try hitting 'cancel' then download again. Works for me.

Have you set the Nook Touch to allow sideloading?
(One way to do this is to install Nook Color Tools and click the box. Even if the box looks like it is already ticked, you need to untick it and then tick it on.)

Well, sideload is working alright. Will try the cancel and again method. Tks.

All various App stores work fine for me...
I have the Android market working fine after rooting and patching my generated Android ID from the emulator into the database. Side loading all the other markets worked without a hitch too. Slide.me, App Brain, and Amazon Appstore all work perfectly.
I really hope we get CM7 working on the Nook2. Having a standard OS that doesn't have the limitations will certainly be much better for everyone than all the various different patches and hacks for the original 2.1 based installation.

Market Issues Lately - Possibly Not Rom Relatedd

It seems like a lot of people(including myself) have been having Market Issues lately on both the Froyo & HoneyComb roms. (not sure if rooted stock Nook users were seeing this to this week)
I think that Google has been making changes to the backend of the market.
Tuesday night I noticed that X-Plane was available to me in market where the previous few days searched for it would come up empty.
Yesterday i manually installed Evernote & Sugarsync because I could not find them in the marke either and I also noticed I had an older version of Xscope.
Last night, I did another round of Force Stop Google.Framework/Clear Data....Force Stop Market/Clear cache and then all of sudden all these apps reappeared in the market!
So if you have been having similar issues this week I suggest another round of the Force Stop Google.Framework/Clear Data....Force Stop Market/Clear cache. I did do mine with a round of some nice Bourbon Oak Aged Stout Beer called Heresy but not sure if this helped MArket at all But it did help me!
I am using Market Enabler with the Verizon setting(and have been using all week)
One thing i notice different in Portrait Market is on Nookie Froyo its says Apps - Game - My Apps and on my DroidX it says Apps - Games - Verizon on top.
Hopefully today I can mess with copy some of the setting from my DroidX build.prop to the Nook to see if this changes market behavior at all.
Does anyone now what settings Market Enabler is making and where?
I have been having trouble with the market as well, but it seems related to a "google talk authentication failed" error. STILL cant download apps though, its frustrating.
I just installed the HC and when I tried to DL from the marketplace, I looked over at my phone, an HTC hero, the DL was coming in there???? Tried to use another gmail account, "no device associated to this account" This makes HC useless. Anyone got a clear fix?
well for me i cant even download off the market with my NC it says its downloading but does nothing.
This has zero to do with the Nook Color, it's happening on all devices.
I have to say, some of it IS nook related.
The problem I'm seeing is that some apps do not see the Nook as a compatible device.
Take evernote for example.
I can't find it in the market, so I go to the evernote website, which points me back to the market, web version. When I am forced to choose a device, it then tells me that the device is not compatible.
How are people getting around this?

Well for me i had to install Applanet and download it, it works fine on the book. And also that's the only way i can download apps because the market doesn't work for me.

That's a completely different issue.

I'd have to respectfully disagree that its a completely different issue, at least not for everyone.
OP's issue is not a problem of downloading/installing apps, its finding apps.
I just tried all the apps the OP listed, and I found X-Plane, but can't find Evernote, Sugarsync, (nor Facebook).
I think that a lot of people will not find the apps they want, and think its a Market issue with their hacked device, but in reality its a problem with device compatibility checks from Google.
Thanks for the Applanet idea, I'm going to try that.
I have had lots of apps were missing for me (most notably Facebook for android) in the market occasionally. I have found that this seems to happen from time to time. In trying to buy directly off the android market site on my computer, it tells me my Nook is incompatible with the apps I am looking for (though I know it is not). The fix though, is simple ( all credit to ViralCipher)

Sometimes you have to do it more than once, but rarely.
I Use Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 from the emmc.

how I did it. I hate it, because I love to support the developers so cheating them like this sucks. I usually go to their website later and donate

Thanks! This worked!
I did this step when I had the application download errors, and didnt think doing it again would restore access to certain apps, but hey, whatever works!

[Q] Astro Bluetooth Module + other missing?

Running VEGAn 5.11 + supplement. Did the full market fix multiple times (and VEGAn has the "correct" fingerprint in build.prop). The market seems to have just about everything.... but....
Can't find Astro Bluetooth module. A very few other things don't show up like Messageease (was debating not reinstalling it anyway -- had tried it on a different tablet). Vlingo was another one I noticed missing.
But I do see lots and lots of apps.
BTW, if you redo the market fix, your "My apps" looks like it just has the paid apps in it until you install something else -- then all your links come back (whew). Seems like I read that somewhere before but....
I just checked, its showing up in my market. I'm running TwoTapsX, so the info may not help you at all, but its there for me.
Thanks Karl, I guess I'm going to have to go get the apk off of another device. What do people without proper markets do for finding these apks?

Personally, I use a different device (an A81E with market fix applied) & then side-load to other devices. Interestingly, on my Gtab, running Vegan 5.1b, I was able to download astro bluetooth module via the market, and have since side-loaded it to the A81E. Now running Vegan 5.1.1b, and no longer see this app in the market. Glad I grabbed it when I did.

Cannot see Dolphin browser in Market

Hi All,
I don't seem to be able to find Dolphin HD in Google Market. Does anyone else experience this? I'm funning TnTLite 4.3.2 with the market fix.
Thanks.
It shows up in my market. I'm also running TnT 4.32 with market fix. May want to try the fix again and see if that helps.
If you check the web market, you'll see that the application is shown as not compatible with our tablets. It's probably the browser's requirement of fine gps location, something our tablets don't feature.
However, while I haven't tried it, if you have another Android device, you can most likely download it there and then sideload it on your tablet.
Another option (though it doesn't work for this app, since it's not listed on Amazon's market) is to check Amazon's market. In some cases, programs that are listed in Google's market as incompatible show up as perfectly compatible in Amazon's market.
Do a Google search for the apk. Its out there and I know you can find it.
Happy hunthunting

this is what I did, and it works fine on the tablet, though I still prefer opera...
I did the market fix on my GTab, the same way I did it on my Archos 70.
I have Dolphin Browser HD on my Archos, but not the Market for the GTab. Strange.
Perhaps on another cache clear and reboot, it will come back.
In the meantime, I know that if you have a Usenet account and provider, you can go to NZBMatrix.com and search for just about any Android APK you want.... Just saying....
i can fix market on tnt lite but it doesn't work with vegan
I looked and looked last night, did the market fix several times. This morning I just just installed it on my phone, then used Astro to back up the APK, mailed it to myself, then side loaded it onto my GTAB.

[Q] How do you install .apk files on a rooted Nook?

Alright, so I have a 1.2.0 Nook Color. Last night I rooted it with ManualNooter but now the android market is not working so great. Only a few things show up, and Angry Birds is definitely not showing up. I've heard that sometimes the full market doesn't show up till after 30 hours after rooting, however I don't know how much of a rumor that is.
Therefore, I want to try and get the amazon app market for the Kindle app and such. How can I download it? I know I need to install something but I don't know how.
Any good, straight forward instructions for a total noob? Thanks!
First, you must open up Nook Color tools. Then tick the box for "non-market installs". Second, download the Amazon Appstore apk file from here, directly on the Nook. Once the file is downloaded, open up the notifications in the bottom left corner and tap the "download complete" window. Select Package Installer. Then simply enough, there is an install button. Press it (duh). Now wait. When that's done, then you can open it.
Ahhh, see I don't think I have Nook Color tools on it yet. I'm assuming that's process where I hook the Nook to the computer and form some commands?
Nook color tools is installed with the manual nooter zip that you flash. ADB wireless, SU, google apps and a few others should also be there. What did you use to root? The most current is 4.6.16. Limited market apps was an issue with earlier versions that has a fix posted within the MN thread. Otherwise, I did not run into that with the latest version.
Yeah I just found the Nook Tools on there. The 'Allow non Market apps' was already checked so I don't know why the amazon app wouldn't download.
_EDIT_
Alright, I updated the MN and installed it, the market is working great
Now lets see if I can get Amazon app to work this round!

First off, not trying to be an ass, but next time could you use a better thread title than [Q]. This will help the people that are here to help, and also help in the future when people try to use the search function for help.
If when you open the “Play Store” you see the options for Apps, Music. Magazines, Movies & TV, Books then the market is working as it should. If you are not seeing all those options, then you need to perform the “Market has limited visibility” under the “Known issues and solutions” section of the MN thread that you linked too.
I just performed a fresh install with the basic, and then the apps2sd packages, both of them allowed me to download/install all three versions of Angry Birds without any problems. For dolphin browser, you can download/install it using the B&N apps store. The app will be visible from stock launcher, as well as from any other launcher that you might use. You can also google “build.prop for market compatibility” for help with changes to your build.prop to allow for even more market apps. I personally use the Samsung GT-P1000 tweak to allow for greater apps, specifically gameloft games.
And you can use the IMEI generator to make the build.prop changes as well... I've had an IMEI on my rooted/stock B&N since I started working on the generator.
Yes sorry i did reboot 8 times and that worked for me, thanks
