Help! I can't find my STR on market on my PC - Nook Touch General

Hello folks,
I was going to search for a interactive fiction reader (so I can finally finish "Wishbringer" after 20 years trying) on my PC, and whenever I clicked on an app, a message below the app icon showed up "You have no devices".
I have an updated version of the market - after I rooted, I installed "vendor.apk", and after that "market 2.3.4.apk". I remember accessing market on my pc a couple of days ago.
I can access it on my nook alright, but not on the computer. What is wrong?

Same happened to me.
Don't know how, but a day before I installed some apps from my pc using market, and the next day it wasn't working.
I have a "fix", installing androidpit on the nook, creating an account etc, you can use it like a market (I couldn't find an app with the nook's market, because it was a spanish app and it doesn't appear on the search of the market, so I could install it using this), it's better than nothing, I don't want to reroot again ^^
Hope this help you

Thanks, will be trying that.

On the topic of IF readers, there's only 2 that I know of and one doesn't work, while the other works but is barely readable.
Twisty, the one that works, is being updated soon, though.

Dorino1,
I've read your post on working STR apps, and I wanted to try it. But Twisty old version doesn't read .dat files (enchanter, wishbringer), so it is a downer for me. But the market problem persists.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. WTF google!!!!!

If you can't find a ways to do it you can always install via the nook itself, searching on androidzoom or etc with Opea.

[Q] Android apps suddenly not compatible with my NC?

I've been collecting free apps from Amazon on my rooted NC for awhile now. At the time I got each of these apps, they were listed as "compatible" with my device.
Now suddenly a lot of them are not, and I am unable to go back and re-install the ones that I had removed.
Even worse, pretty much everything I've tried so far today to grab has come up as incompatible. Even really simple stuff that should have no problem running.
Oddly, at some point early on, Amazon listed my device as simply "Nook Color". Most of the apps are still showing as compatible with that device. Unfortunately, that's not what Amazon thinks my NC is anymore! I now have a second device on my list called "BarnesAndNoble NOOKcolor", which almost nothing is compatible with.
So then I wanted to check to see if Amazon was behind this, maybe to screw B&N fans. But nope! The Android Marketplace lists every game I've checked so far today as incompatible with my NC!!!
That's certainly news to me, considering some of the games I checked are currently installed on my NC and work perfectly.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's sort of scaring me. Who's locking down my rooted NC? If the official android marketplace says everything is incompatible... there aren't a lot of options for getting apps.
Do search with "Market" keyword, you will see about 10 threads with many responses and instructions how to fix this.

There are quite a few threads found that way, but none of the ones I read helped. I did the "stop/restart Framework/Google and reload" and nothing changed. Most of the others seem to be related to problems with the new market, which was working perfectly for me up until today, or problems run into right after rooting. I've been rooted for about 5 months with no market problems of any kind, and I haven't changed anything on my NC for over a month.
I also tried clearing the settings for the Amazon market and also deregistered the device from my amazon account, forcing it to re-register. Still no luck.
Anyone else seeing this, or have another suggestion?
My old market and new market were working fine too, just like yours, until a few days ago. If you try the 160 dpi/reboot/clear-data-from-market procedure below and that doesn't work, then you may have a totally unique problem that just happens to have the same variety of symptoms everyone else is having. (I'm doubtful.) This procedure seems to be fixing the problem for almost everyone else. Did you try it? It fixed mine.
1) set dpi to 160 in build.prop
2) reboot
3) clear market app data (force close first may help?)
4) restart market, accept terms, let it rebuild data at 160 dpi
5) profit
the above we all seem to agree on now. Next steps are more speculative
6) set dpi back to 161 (or whatever you had)
7) reboot
8) profit indefinitely (unknown how long this lasts; I rebooted >5 times including flashing a nightly w/o issue)
9) do NOT clear data again as this rebuilds data at the wrong dpi again.

Thanks, I had tried the first half, but not the second. I used manual nooter, so my dpi entries originally looked like:
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=169.3333
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=169.3333
I don't know if that makes a difference.
Anyway, I just tried the second half of the above process but I'm still showing as incompatible. I wonder if I need to re-noot.
Everyone trying to be helpful here seems to miss the poster's dilemma. He is talking about the Amazon Market, not the Android Market. Hopefully someone familiar with the workings of the Amazon Market will chime in with some suggestions.
My original problem was with Amazon's market, but it looks like that's just a symptom of the bigger problem that I noticed first because I use it every day, as opposed to much less frequent use of the android market.
But the Android market suffers the same problem and from what I've read online it sounds like the problem was started with changes by Google that Amazon also adopted.
Interestingly I noticed this for the first time last night on the Android market and this morning with the Amazon market. Ebook downloads presently are unaffected to my rooted NC. Amazon recognizes my device as an Android but when I tried to make an app purchase this morning it suddenly tried to download it to a BN Nook. Amazon emailed me this morning saying that unless I have their market preloaded by the manufacturer they do not support it. Collusion?
I got the "not compatible" message after installing the most recent update from the Amazon App Store. Fortunately, I have the very first app store apk. I uninstalled the updated app store, then installed the old apk, logged in and then updated it and for some reason that worked for me. You might try not updating also to see if that works. I am not using CM7 though and I'm not manualnootered. I'm minirooted meaning I can side load apps and have superuser access, but no Android Market access and some other things.
I have attached the apk I used. I hope it works for you.

A better question would be is Amazon trying to bork the Nook Color with their app?
Anyone else have a suggestion for getting the Android Market working again for me?
thanks for the APK, I'll try it when I have a chance... But since the Android market from Google doesn't work either I'm hoping for a fix to that.
If you make the change in your build.prop “ro.product.manufacturer=BarnesAndNoble” to “ro.product.manufacturer=samsung” then reboot the device. This seems to fix most of the device compatibility problems in the Amazon appstore. I went down the top 100 paid and free app list, and the only apps that came up with the compatibility problems after doing this are,
Soundhound
Peggle
Thumb keyboard
Trainz simulator THD
Chuzzle
Talking Tom Cat
flexT9
GrooVe IP
Ultra Voice Changer
TV.com
Compass
Also attached is the amazon appstore v.1.14, it has the double click buying fix, but does not give all the compatibility issues. With installing this version does fix the compatibility problem, but you will be constantly hounded with the update reminder.
I don't use Facebook, but I was able to find, install and open the Facebook app with the new market. Do the density change using 240. Its more stable than 160 for whatever reason.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it had no effect. The first four apps i tried not on your list all came up incompatible, as did stuff on the google market.

The old version of the market is working! I was able to install a number of apps that didn't previously work.
Now if I could just get the Google market to work!
Thanks for that link!
I was having the same problem with the AMAZON appstore (but not the android marketplace, for some reason) but I couldn't find the old amazon appstore apk. Going back to it totally fixed the problem. But you're right, the constant reminders to update the apk are a pain in the whatsus.
Also try going into application management and goto market and tap uninstall updates. Also use titanium backup or similar program to freeze market updater.
By what I read, I bet amazon is trying to block the competition because they are fixing to come out with their own tablets and by horning something like the nook you might be enticed to buy their tablet.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
My markets all seem to do whatever the f*ck they want the moment i need an application that was perfectly available minutes before. What i've done to get around the issue if neither the market or the amazon store have what i'm looking for is: (i know its tedious but hey it works)
1) install astro
2) using your android phone assuming you have one, download the applications you want regardless of them being compatible with the nook color according to the android market.
3) once your files are installed on your phone use astro to create a backup of the .apk files you want (open astro > menu > tools > application manager/backup)
4) i then take my sd card out of my phone and pop it into my nook color and install my apps through w.e file manager it is i have on the nook color
all the games that i cant normally download onto my nook through the official methods i've been able to install and play through the method i've been using. not ALL apps will allow you to back them up though =/

Root tools impossible to download in new market

I've been trying for the last 2 hours to download Root Tools (paid for) from the New Market, which I have to say really stinks. I wish there were a way to keep the old Market. I'm able to download it to my phone quickly (old market still), but in the NC it just has the downloading bar with no progress for the past 2 hours. I have stopped it and restarted, but same thing.
It shows up in my apps as purchased, but can't get it downloaded. Did I mention how much I hate the new market?
It looks like nothing will download from there, not just root tools.
Forget this whole post. I don't know what the problem was with my market connection, so I don't know the solution, but it is working now.

[Q] Android Market - Your Device Isn't Compatible

Hello All,
I'm quite the noob (see? didn't even use zeroes) and I rooted my Fire using the Kindle Fire Utility. I installed market, did CHMOD and all that to the apk, and installed Market Opener. I can get to the market fine, but most apps I want to download, like the facebook app, or the twitter app, I get "Your device isn't compatible" Anyone have any ideas to remedy this one?
You might be able to fix some of those issues by editing your build.prop to make it look like another device. I believe there is either a utility or tutorial kicking around here somewhere, maybe in the development section?
im not sure theres away around that until someone does a screen density hack, like with the nook color its baked into cm7. eventually it wont be a problem, for now just google apk you want and download it, with my friends i just have a dropbox shared folder and when ever we find an app that we cant acces in the market we just put it in that folder for the rest of us.

I have the same issue with the sideloaded apps that I originally bought on Android Market with my phone. I don't want to root, but it seems like it would be worthwhile for someone to make a utility that will patch an APK to fool Kindle into thinking the app is made for Kindle.
Of course, then maybe there would be some validation issues between the app and the market.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'll try it out when I get home tonight and let you know if anything suggested works.

[Q] Firmware Upgrading

I have a Nook Simple Touch eReader. Info says its Model Number is BNRV300.
I want to upgrade Firmware from 1.0.0 to 1.1.2 or something like that.
I have tried to update it using an image that should upgrade the firmware. But it did't.
I saw the Device info after doing that and it showed me that firmware were actually 1.0.0.
It didn't change at all.
I though it was updated (so I think info was not true) when i tried to root the device with the rooter made for 1.1.
After rooting the eReader became crazy!!!
It didn't turn on until I reset it twice. And when I say reset, I mean Factory Reset.
That is erasing every configuration and everything else from the Nook by pressing power button before pressing for 1 min down buttons.... The first time it erased all the things that were in the memory and configurations.
The second time, it installed the original Firmware image again.... The time between the rooting and the second reset was awful.
I really though that my eBook was dead... :crying:
But it's not. It's alive due to the Factory Reset that comes with the device.
I want to upgrade it 'cause the Android that lasts when I make the rooting is horrible.
The Internet Search doesn't work. The Android market neither. The only things that work are Facebook, Google Talk, Calculator and Book Reader that comes with the Nook.
I would like to install at least another PDF Reader (the original one is only useful to reading literature. If I want to read some of my study books (things that I do so often because of the college). It's really uncomfortable. The font size is so TINY. I can't see it. That happens because those texts have images, and the reader doesn't fit them. I want to see texts turning the screen. This would help me a lot...), Oxford Dictionary (my mother language is not English. Excuse me if I make grammar mistakes. Thanks to the Google chrome spell checker also....), DRAE (Spanish Royal Academy's Dictionary), and make Opera Mini work.
I installed Opera Mini. It crashes when launched... Office viewers crash too.
This Android is really annoying
It's not useful at all!!!
Rooter used to root Nook: touchnooter-1-6-24.zip
Thanks for your attention. I hope you answer
PD: Internet says I can upgrade this nook to 1.1 I ask if I can upgrade to 1.1.2 or something higher.
How can I root it without that frightening risk of having Nook dead in the way it was before due to the upgrading and rooting???
The latest update is 1.2.1 and is available on the nook site. Or I posted a CWM package to do it.

Thank you. I'm doing what you say right now. I'll tell you if it works.
Also I have a doubt. How can I do the rooting in a relatively safe way? I need the Android functions. Specially Market to download applications and Opera mini. I don't know a better web browser for Android.
That's just to read some blogs. Um! I forgot to ask if there is a way to unlock android installer...
I tried to install an APK application downloaded from Internet (The Oxford Dictionary) and Android tell me it was not able to install applications who don't come from Android Market....
If it is possible, thank you. If not, thank you too
It worked!!

I rooted my nook myself and didn't use any of the methods posted on here, it took me ages of trying different methods to get it all working, used adb, cwm packages etc, unless you know what you're doing, you'd be better using one of the premade packages here

Thanks to everyone. I have already rooted my Simple Touch. It's beautiful.
I have just another question.
It's a little annoying for me to use a different reader from Barnes and Noble's one.
This one is really good. It has just the problem that it has no zoom, and it has not the ability of rotating the document....
I've tried with several PDF readers. The only one who has an relatively acceptable behavior is ezPdf, but it's not good...
That's the only thing I'm still needing. I have now Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, a Spanish definitions dictionary and a Spanish-German Dictionary. Those three ones were fully installed in the SD. There's not need to have wi-fi turned on to look for meanings or translations!!! :laugh:
This point was a full success. I'm really happy to have those dictionaries in my Nook. That stuff is absolutely useful :victory:
But I have just this little point. Excuse me if I go too far
I will make a more accurate question. Is there a PDF reader, compatible with Android 2.1, similar to Barnes and Noble's one (I mean, as good as Barnes and Noble's Reader ), that is able to zoom and rotating the document?
Or an almost equivalent question: Can I patch in any way this reader to have, specially, the ability of rotating the screen?
I have configured the device in the way it shows me almost everything, but not reader , in landscape mode.... How can I make the reader show things in this mode?, as Opera and the most of the other applications do... ::good:
Thank you again.
The Noot Manager is just AMAZING.
And the CWM based upgrading is amazing too
It's a hilarious thing to realize that when you make a question in these forums, it happens often that you answer your own question by searching a little in the Internet.
I found the answer for my question, curiously, in this forum.
And this PDF Viewer is THE ONE: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186949
An open source applications modified by a guy of the community xda-developers
This is the closest thing I found to Barnes & Noble's reader application.
It renderizes very quickly. It save some data on a cache up to 10MB. And another useful thing: It's able to rotate de document!!!
It's just what i was searching for :victory:
Thank you for everything.

Google Books: no basket/cart so can't buy books.

Using gbooks_10_16.apk I can search and get a book list, but nothing happens when I click a book. The basket/cart and pay apparatus is missing. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I've also tried gb152.apk, but this doesn't seem to work at all.
I rooted with Nook Manager and then ran NTGAppsAttack (both v.050). NTGAppsAttack went fine until I clicked on Market only to find there were no apps at all anywhere. I left the Nook near my wifi, with wireless on, for hours and finally What's App appeared. I'd have preferred something simpler, but installed it anyway and then, having doubts, uninstalled via the Apps Drawer. I then upgraded the Market and installed SearchMarket, which just brings up the search keyboard. However, it finds apps, thpough only free ones, and downloads them. The Market still shows only What's App, though something else appeared briefly. There was no Books app in the Apps Drawer, so I downloaded the above versions.

So just to be sure, you are using the NST?
You will see very few/no apps via the Market app. Sometimes the category list will dredge up an app or two (free), but you need SearchMarket to find anything. I think you are right about only free apps. It may be that the old apps cannot negotiate the security transactions for paid apps.
And on that topic, the non-function of the store in Gbooks is your least problem. Have you noticed that it doesn't upsync?! I and others have done a pretty thorough investigation of the various versions that will run on the NST.. The version you mention has a functioning reader but can't upsync. I think up to 1.3.5 the reader still works (going from memory here...) but no upsync. The oldest version that will currently sync is maybe 1.5.2, but only if you can get the book to actually display, which is more miss than hit.
I played with Gbooks for a long time, even though I've never used it. I don't think it's doable without a serious rewrite of the source.
If you haven't already, you'll need to update the certificates on your nook as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65344931
Some older versions of Google Books will work, but maybe not all of the features. I have Books version 1.2.2 and can download purchased books from my library, although I purchased them on other devices. You can't purchase books on the old version of the Market or the books app since our nooks don't have Google Play Services, but you should be able to download books purchased on other devices (but same account.
You won't find many compatible apps in the Market at this point, and purchased apps have to be downloaded to other devices and then side loaded to the nook (assuming they're compatible). Some older working versions of apps can be found here on XDA.

Yes, I'm using the NST. I haven't looked at syncing because as I understand it this is just a question of convenience when reading on multiple devices, which is not my aim. I just want to get books onto the Nook. Many thanks.

It seems to upsync last read pages, roughly anyway since the formatting varies for different devices. Since this old version doesn't support anything like notes or highlights, I'm not sure what else it could sync.
What's the best/most practical way to share files on xda? While I've been lurking for quite some time, I only created an account fairly recently.

You can attach the apk file using the options below as you compose your reply or if you're not able to do that yet you can provide a link to any safe place where you can store a copy (Dropbox, etc.) so that people can access the file.
This is sort of amazing. I've never run into a version number like that and am really curious to see what it can do. Casual reading and syncing are all I would care about.

I've solved my problem now. I've been trying to download books from Google, first to my NookST and then to my laptop. But I'm running 32-bit Linux on my laptop and Google, like Adobe, seems determined to exclude Linux from the world of ebooks. So I downloaded to my Android phone and was quite surprised when the book also appeared on my Nook. I was offered the option of syncing, but decided not to be too ambitious in case it caused problems with the rather old Nook software.
It may have helped that I did all the NTGAppsAttack process on my Nook (I didn't want to go to the laptop because of the Linux problem). After I typed in my phone number I first tried to confirm on the phone and, when that didn't work, typed in the confirm number on my Nook. So perhaps the 2 devices finally got quite firmly linked.
I'll have a go at attaching the Google Books version I'm using, gbooks_10_16.apk.
I got it from another post on this forum. The reader works well but doesn't have a search facility.

Here's the md5 for the attached file generated by Android File Verifier:

I think I probably got this apk when it was posted a long time ago, but I can't remember for sure. I just let Lookout scan it again and it came up "safe", for whatever that's worth.

Well done!! People have been searching for a version of GBooks that would sync for years! I can confirm that this works with free books from Google as well as user-uploaded books. I don't have any books purchased from Google so could not check that.
As with other versions, it helps to have a hardware key assigned to "menu" in order to access things like font size, etc., while reading (I use a long-press of the lower right button).
This is really a great discovery. I'll have to update the various other threads with a pointer to your post.

Well done!! People have been searching for a version of GBooks that would sync for years! I can confirm that this works with free books from Google as well as user-uploaded books. I don't have any books purchased from Google so could not check that.
As with other versions, it helps to have a hardware key assigned to "menu" in order to access things like font size, etc., while reading (I use a long-press of the lower right button).

Glad it's working for you too! I can't remember for sure, but I think this version might've been recommended by someone else before. I'll have to look through my old bookmarks...

Thanks for all the info, guys. Second time you've steered me in the right direction, nmyshkin. NB Attaching the apk file was difficult because the process was incredibly slow (and not even a whirligig). Lots of notices about scripts that had stalled. I'm running Linux Mint 17 (Cinnamon) 32-bit; browser is Firefox.
