Hi All,
Rooted my nook, market worked on the second day as posted on threads all seems well..
Installed multitouch app thanks to this site, and downloaded ES file explorer from Google Play website straight to my nook in hopes to install the norefresh tool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568560
Just 2 issues.
1. When trying to install norefresh tool, I get some message that for security, no non-market apss can be downloaded. I found a thread saying to initiate the process of downloading an Amazon App to find the "secret menu" in order to change this setting.. However, see problem #2 below...
2. No browsers work.
Opera Mini doesn't open, and I tried pushing into my nook from my desktop by re-downloading Opera Mini.. Install looked fine, when I try to open Opera Mini on my NST, I see it start but then it ultimately fails when I try to open.. For the generic browser, it opens, but when I try to search it just brings me back to the Android Homepage.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Did you enable non market apps using "Nook color tools"?
Remember the box is checked when nook color tools comes up.
You need to uncheck it and then recheck the box.
Opera mini does not work for me too. Opera mobile works fine.
Searchmarket is useful to get market search working
Hope this helps

The default browser doesn't bring you back to the android homepage, it just crashes

Root Manager and Astro are good file managers. Opera is a good web browser that works on the Nook
thanks a lot... but when i go on search (in market) they didn't work... why?
It doesn't work, it is broken somehow. Go to market, open apps menu, all, the best free, downloas opera and file manager. Then if you want to install app from market google opera "appbrain (app you want to download)", hit first one, and on top you should find a link to market, click it, and download app form market.
Other method is to use market.android.com
another solution is download it from pc
last question... when i download a file from opera it says "you haven't a card insert... insert one and try again" can i fix this problem?
i solved...
can you talk me about a wi fi manager (support enterprise wifi) and a good pdf reader for nook?
i have downloaded an application for web, and when i try to install it, it says "for security, your phone is set to block installation of application not sourced in android market"
how i solved it?
Assuming you rooted with Touchnooter you can enable non-market installs in Nook Color Tools
i've tried to uncheck-check again the options and it works fine...
thanks a lot
last problem
for connect nook at my school i need to set proxy...
i've tried do install trasparent proxy but it says "no iptables binary found on your ROM" can i solved it?
i've try app called "proxy settings" but it doesn't work...
you have solution for set proxy?
(i've solved wep enterprise problem with "WiFiAdva", but now, for connect i need proxy setting)
Have you try another version of the Android market?It can help
if you have a name of a "program for proxy" say it....
i'll search and install it....
Hello all, I did this rooting http://nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting and I'm not happy with that.
1. I cannot make Market working. It fails due to missing library.
This did not help http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market I installed two files at the bottom of the thread as suggested. Vending application still not working.
2. Search in many aplications doesn't work.
3. no matches found for: null shows when I try to download a dictionary in colordict or even Opera showed this couple of times.
Many other apps work as expected but some of hey features are still missing.
Is it a good idea restore the backup and root with touchnooter? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132693
I don't know if I can re-root with touchnooter without restore?
Market fix
because of this error this Market fix does not work either.
"blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2011/07/15/rooted-nook-touch-fixing-market-search-and-other-tips-and-tricks-video"
Installing the SearchMarket App
From the Nook Touch, open the Opera web browser.
Type “searchmarket app” in the Google search box located in the upper right corner.
Google will automatically show results for search market as two words so you have to select where it says “Search instead for searchmarket app”.
Then the first listing will be for the SearchMarket app at AppBrain. That’s where you want to go.
At AppBrain, tap the QR/more icon. Then scroll down a little and tap where it says install. It will re-direct to the SearchMarket listing in the actual Android Market to download and install.
Once installed, it will appear in the Nook’s app drawer where you can use it to successfully run searches in the Android Market.

Market
Hi, Yesterday I deregistered the nook and rooted with touchnooter which works better than root image I used before.
Google apps work so far except Market which cannot connect. I'll try Vending.apk which you posted.
edit1: Newer Market works just as expected and I fixed also search with SearchMarket app. I thing touchnooter is a good choice.
I have rooted my NST v 1.1.2 with TouchNooter. I waited a day and Market now comes up and gmail will sync. While I can download from Market as long as there is an app in the "what's hot" or 'new" lists, I cannot search. If I try to search for an app, nothing happens.
Also, I can search on Amazon market place but the files will not download; on Amazon when I try to download an app I get an empty dialog box with nothing in it except a button labeled 'ok'. I did get into NookColor Tools and unchecked and then rechecked 'Allow Non-Market Apps."
SuperManager will not launch so I can't install any apks (is there any other way to install an apk?)
I saw a hint on another thread that 'Fix permissions' in NookColor Tools might be an option, but I cannot find how do do this.
Any ideas on how to fix without restoring and re-rooting?
Is there a terminal loaded by default so I can enter commands? If so, how do I access terminal?
Edit: I discovered that "Fix Permissions" is actually in the NookTouch Tools. I had to go into SuperUser to allow NookTouch Tools and then I could run "fix permissions". However, it had no effect on the problems noted above.
Thanks!
Try to install SearchMarket Ap by youten and use that to search for apps in Market.
Launch the Opera Mobile browser or whatever broswer you have and type “searchmarket app” into the search bar.
The top listing will direct to AppBrain.
Tap the big install button and it will direct to the Android Market to install it.
(this is a fix we are given for NSTGL so hopefully it will work for you also)

Thanks! That got me market search ability.
Sorry for the total noob question, but here goes. I have rooted my NST, using the following instructions: http://tinymicros.com/wiki/NOOK_Simple_Touch_%28NST%29_Rooting_For_Practiscore Forgive the external link, I just wanted to be clear on where I am at.
If this isn't acceptable, apparently the source of the info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and I used the "the 'Normal + Xorzone's mods + adb Wifi' build "
Practiscore works flawlessly and my nook does what I need it to do. Now I have been thinking that it would be cool to be able to surf the web or at least be able to use the internet over wifi to load apps without having to load it on the SD card manually.
Right now, when I open the browser, it will actually open www.google.com when I set it to the home page but then crash whenever I try to do anything - even just clicking on the search box. The fact that it will actually open google, tells me my connection is working, but either the root process broke the browser, or something else is wrong. I can also open the market and get it to show me some apps, but it won't let me search or surf to any app. Searching just hangs and displays nothing.
I've tried searching but I haven't had any luck in picking the proper search terms to get an answer, and for some reason there is a script running wild on this page that refreshes it every 2 seconds interrupting what I am doing. That problem is probably on my PC, but firefox is what I have.
Ok, I got some things to install by d/l'ing the APK's directly to the SD card on a PC. I still haven't gotten the app store to work, or google.
The app store search will not work on your nook touch, the only way to install apps are either sideloading them or installing them wirelessly using google play on your computer.
You may want to use Opera Mobile instead of the basic browser, it would be easier than getting the stock one working.

Ok, this thing is just not working, everything I try in the market or using the browser just crashes. I downloaded the opera mini, but I didn't get an apk, so I have no idea how to install the extracted files. Most of the apk's I have found to put on here don't work either and just crash. I cant even get hangman or a crossword to load for pete's sake...
Did you root it to run Practiscore on?
If not, I'd suggest restoring your backup, upgrading to 1.2.1 firmware, then using NookManager with NTGAppsAttack (see the Nook Touch Android Development Forum here on xda). That worked just fine for me. But I don't need to run Practiscore.

Yes, the link in the OP was what I used.
1. NTGAppsAttack - working google play
2. use SeachMarket.apk to look for APK's in Google play.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38323047&postcount=6
3. Use Opera Mobile instead of Mini.
4. To manually install .apk (without using ADB)
- put it on your uSD.
- open it using Relaunch or any other file browser that you use.

You sir are a genius. The searchmarket and Opera mobile WORK!!
Now all I have to figure out is how to get rid of those extra apps [that suck and don't work]
Oh and maybe a pdf reader that works...
..and is the screen supposed to go all wonky for a second whenever I do anything? Or is there a new video driver?
Hello there,
I have rooted my nook simple touch using the guide found bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35267728#post35267728
It worked out after a while of struggling, but now I am wondering how am I able to install 3rd party android apps on it? I have downloaded a test .apk application on the nook toc heck either it is working. It comes out that it doesnt, but maybe its because i went browsing for it using the library app, as I havent found any other file browser on the system. I amrunning the latest 1.2.1 version.
I Would really aprichiate some help in this matter, I tried googling out but i havent found anything specific to help me solve the problem, there were some solutions to the newer models that dont apply for me.
@bremenpl,
Arguably, the best file explorer available for the Nook Touch is ES File Explorer 3 (free on Google Play). It's what I use.
To enable 3rd-party app installation, install NookColor Tools, open the app, and check the box for "Allow Non-Market Apps".
The problem is I dont have any file browser at all and I cant install any .apk on my nook. NookColor Tools is also an .apk and I cannot open this kind of file in library browser. How to overcome that? I dont have google apps installed as I didnt want to install google play, gmail and etc. I tried loging into amazon appstore that is installed, but it doesnt accept my login nad password.

Ah, I see your point. Thankfully, this can be remedied if you have either ADB set up, the app Terminal Emulator, or both. What do you have?
I have none of it. Whats more straight forward to do?

I'd say Terminal Emulator, but that's yet another app that you need non-market permission to install.
ADB it is, then. PM me for extensive installation instructions.
