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!

So I have been able to get appbrain 5.51 and newest fastwebinstaller2.11 loaded on my Nook. I have a seperate account on appbrain.com for my nook setup. After a little trial and error I was able to get Angry Birds and a few other protected apps to load using fast web installer.
Seems that once I have installed a protected app using appbrain they show up in the market as well.
NOTE I have only tried a couple protected apps so far. If folks have a list I am willing to try any, I just am not sure what is protected and what is not. I have not ran into but a few I could not see in the market.
Steps
1.Install Appbrain 5.51
2.Install FastWeb installer 2.11
3.Setup Appbrain.com account
4.Run Appbrain app on Nook, login to account setup in step 3
5. Go to preferences and enable fast web installer to your appbrain account
(note the first time I did this I got can't enable, went to settings>app>fasteweb clear cache/force close, restarted app brain and it worked) I need to go over this again and figure out exactly what I pushed.
6. Now if 5 worked, search either via appbrain app, and install or via appbrain.com must be on wifi for this to work of course. If your in the appbrain app you will see three options at the bottom of the app your looking at, share/market/install. hit install!!
Hopefully this works for folks.
I am running 0.6.8 on sdcard, 1.1ghz.
Helped another with the 0.6.7 on sdcard all inclusive image get setup and it seems to work.
WARNING do not use the same appbrain account on your android phone as appbrain will then push apps to both devices.
Good luck

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.
Is there a way to install apps that say they are incompatible? I tried installing MAX GO, but it says it's incompatible with my NOOK HD+. HBO GO, basically the same app is compatible.
There are a bunch of other apps, like Optimum Cable app that won't install. The weird thing, I used to be able to at least search for them before 2.10, but now they won't even show up in the Play Store.
I have the latest Extras installed to allow other sources and I reran Rooting after 2.10 upgrade, and have Root access. I also tried "Market Helper" app to spoof the tablet, but it seems to have old tablets in the list, like Kindle and Kindle HD.
Thanks.
Not much you can do other than install from other stores like 1mobile.com or Amazon.com or try getting from another device. Most will run if you can get them to install.

I rooted a 1st gen Kindle Fire last year, and everything was working great until today.
After I copied a couple of PDF files to the Documents folder, when I opened the device back up... the Kindle Reader would no longer work. I tried deleting those PDFs -- didn't help.
Initially if I opened any book or document, it would display a little circular progress indicator for a few seconds and then close. Afterwards, opening any book or document leads to an immediate closure and a return to the screen I was just on.
I've tried doing a full reboot. Doesn't help.
Video works, my rooted applications seem to work, *although*:
Rootkeeper v2.0.3 says that these are checked:
* I have the superuser app installed and
* that /system supports root protection
BUT these are unchecked:
* Device rooted
* Root permission granted
* Protected su copy available
Not sure what that means. Rootkeeper does not give me any options to backup or restore anything.
So any idea what happened and what I can do now? Should I unroot this, and if so, how? Or should I re-root, and if so, how?
I'm running 6.3.2 and I'm on a Mac so Kindle Fire Utility doesn't work for me unfortunately.
I'm thinking it seems like Amazon installed an update, because I probably wasn't running 6.3.2 last year... but I don't remember ever updating it deliberately or approving an update.
I found the solution.
Google Play had updated my Kindle app to a Google version. I went to Play Store, clicked on the standard Menu button at the bottom of the screen, went to "My apps", clicked on Kindle, and clicked on uninstall. When it asked whether I wanted to uninstall all updates, I said yes.
I also went to Settings in the same app under the Menu button and turned off auto-updates.
Fixed.
