I am up and running, so I think I did everything right!
However...
Angry Birds won't open. I've installed from Market, from backup, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted...any other ideas?
Facebook app is glitchy.
My Nook app is force closing when I try to open a book...I'm thinking maybe I did something wrong...
Is there a way to remove the phone related apps and references?
I do miss the BN Library Shelves...I think I'll get over that though...or attempt a dual-boot.
Overall, it is so different than what I'm used to that it's a bit intimidating...but I'm sticking with it for a while due to all the over-the-top positive reviews here!
Nook app update...I had downloaded a book and it was in the notification list that it had finished...cleared it and the app is working now.

I know that Facebook version 1.5.3 had bugs that caused force closes on MANY devices. They released 1.5.4 last night to correct these issues, but I have not tested the new version myself. Others have said the app works great now. I downgraded to 1.5.2 which works fine, but I will try 1.5.4 later tonight.
Unfortunately I don't know about the other questions you had so hopefully someone else can help you there
Im no expert, but have you fixed permissions in rom manager? thats been known to stop force closes
I tried to fix permissions, but it says I don't have permission to do so...something's not quite right.
Yes, 1.5.3 caused problems for many. So far 1.5.4 works for me without any problems on my Droid X and Nook Color.

How are you showing phone references? You mean the apps?
If you're talking apps, get root explorer, nav. to system/app/
mount r/w, then add the suffix .bak too app phone related apps (doing phone.apk LAST). It doesn't do anything, but helps some people sleep at night.
mms.apk
telephoneprovider?.apk
phone.apk (will cause force closes...just hard shut down and reboot)
Haven't run into any apps that need these (dropbox used to), but good to keep around.
Try moving angry birds from sd card to "phone" if that is where it is located.

Hmmmm... Strange. Have you tried to boot into clockwork and fix permissions there?
Just want to make sure-- you did format your data & cache partition as ext4 right?
I'm not sure about the ext4...is that something different than just formatting through CWM.
Angry Birds is installed on 'phone' and not the SD card.
I did figure out how to remove phone apps, thanks!
We have multiple nooks so I tried Phiremod's on a different one and really liked it. I ended up reflashing this nook to Phiremod and am so far, really pleased...angry birds still won't load, but I guess we can live without it!
power button and home button problem
I just installed the latest cm7.0.2 build, and I found that my home button does not work...
also, the power button only has reboot and poweroff selections, the other selections in cm7.0.0 were lost...
Anyone saw this problem?
I tried to set the home button settings in ADWLauncher->General Behavior->Home button binding, but it does not work...
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I don't have any of those problems. I just flashed 7.0.2 Stable build too.
Did you wipe the Dalvik Cache?
Just a thought.

If Rom Manager doesn't allow you fix permissions, open superuser and make sure it's allowed superuser access.
So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee
Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.
are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.
ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!
Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!
Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.
There is an update out that will fix the market as well as getting facebook. Thanks to joshts0 to bring it to my attention.

"Anyone fix the many apps hidden in the market? Do we just need to modify the build.prop? What should we identify as.... guess I could just try some...

Old:
For those who do not know how to get the google apps on the Touchpad including the market place Here is what you need to do:
Assuming you already have CM7 installed (I followed "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XDmKGmn4vs" and got the files from the Youtube description) and have it all up and running all happy:
1) Download "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip".
2) Be running android on your Touchpad.
3) Connect the USB to your computer and Touchpad.
4) "Turn on USB storage" on your Touchpad.
5) Copy "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" to your root directory of your Touchpad.
6) Turn off "USB Storage", hold down the power the button and hit reboot, select recovery.
7) Screen should say "CMW-based Recovery v5.0.2.6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to "install zip from sdcard" (the sdcard is the memory built into the touchpad that is shared between android and webOS, NOT a REAL SD card) and press the home button on the bottom of the screen.
8) Now select "choose zip from sdcard", press home button.
9) Navigate to "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and press home.
10)Navigate to "Yes - Install gapps-gb.........zip. Should install.
11)Press power button and select "reboot system now", hit home.
Reboot into android and setup your google account. If the google account setup doesn't come up right try restating your Touchpad and see if it comes up. If nothing try to reinstall gapps again.
Sorry for being long winded but I wanted to make sure that my steps are clear.
Once you get the market place working you can get Netflix and many other app but remember that the CM7 is in Alpha. Most apps are not likely to work but some just might. Try it out.
I am experienced in android from 2 prevoius devices, but this never happened to me before.
Market is there, works perfectly, but once I try to install any app, it keeps Downloading the app forever and ever, I know this is not a CM issue, its Market or google issue, just wanna know if some of you guys have been in the same situation and did you find a solution.
After google I tried:
Deleting the market cache and data.
Reinstalling gapps via CWM.
Moving apps in SD to internal data then deleting .android secure folder
Uninstalling Market from Titaniumbackup and then re installing from it.
deleting cache/ dalvik cache.
Fixing permissions
None of those things worked...
From what I've seen, add "update-" directly in front of gapps, or whatever zip you wanna flash to the touchpad for that matter, works well.

I keep getting fc's its my first boot up and I've tried this about 5 times
I don't know what's wrong with your setup guys, but mine went flawlessly. I mean in 10mins I already had android on my tablet, incl CWM recovery + working gapps. Been playing with it for a few hours, had no problems, installed a few themes (honeycomb colors) and tried different launchers, overclocked it..
It's an amazing port, there are some bits and pieces that need to be fixed of course, but other than that i havent had any serious problems.
Just follow the instructions correctly and you should have any problems

I believe we forgot to install moboot, could someone explain how to install after cm7 install thanks
sent from 3d greatness......
just put the moboot file, the gapps and CWM zips in the cminstall folder
then run again ACME installer.
It will skip everything already installed and will go directly to your new packages.
Enjoy....
PD: nobody has an idea how to fix the never ending downloading from market...? I cant download anything... so frustrating...

Well just use USB drive in android, and move the files, if you cant boot CM7, you better go to webos doctor and start everything from zero.

I had the downloading problem too. At first things were downloading fine. I think made the setting in the Market to ask for a PIN and after that things wouldn't download. It didn't hit me it may be the PIN I rebooted and still no dice, then went into the Market settings and turned my PIN off to download and install things and it downloaded apps. I didn't turn it back on to test because heck didn't want to rock the boat
I can boot cm7 I works great but I cannot go into cwm to install gapps. I just need to know where I move moboot in cm7 to make it install. Sorry for asking so much I just cannot understand how to do it. Thanks

you can do this way, boot to webos, enable disk mode, copy the moboot into cminstall folder. reboot, and you are able to go to cmw and install gapps.

Doing so brings me to the large USB icon used to install CM7, but we need to get to either CWM recovery, or first go back to webOS to add gapps to the cminstall folder and then redo the install of the novaterm cminstall (at which point)

When I connect to USB mass storage while running CM7 do I just make a new cminstall folder at the root of android, and then proceed like before? I cannot find the cminstall folder I made for webOS when looking through the files while running Android.
Thanks!

Read this post and download his Dialer.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44115073&postcount=38
Then you must re-enable root. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Root access. Change to Disabled. Reboot. Go back and re-enable root.
Now, use Root Explorer to copy the dialer.apk to /system/app. Change permission to Owner=Read/Write, Group=Read, Others=Read
Reinstall dialer.apk from the /system/app directory. Dialer/Phone should be ok now.
mmm this seems be hard
i prefer wait quarx fix this problem.
If someone have something more easily to solve the problem then put here please.

This will actually take about 5 mins to do. Don't need to be a dev to do this.

Another problem with 4.3
A fix has already been released.
I have another problem, though.
· If the right menu is slid down and the button with the 3g/2g network is pressed (the one that comes default with the name of the company), all the radios are shut off, and it's impossible to shut them on again. Not even rebooting. Had to reinstall CM10.2. I'm using the ROM without that button, just in case. This bug has been reported in the developer forum but I think it hasn't been given attention.
· And... I like using "My data manager"... a very famous data usage app. It just doesn't work, no data is gathered. However, Jelly Bean default data usage menu works, but I don't like that! Is this a known issue? Is there a fix??
Maybe I should have opened a new thread for this... I'm a noob
Thanks!
Well Hello there!
Everything was working fine but then that was the problem because devil was prying its eyes on my phone :laugh:
Now I can't click on install button when installing apps from apk file. Cancel button is working fine and also installing apps from app store have no issues as well. I have tried installing other apps and on some them install option is working and those are the apps which do not require any permissions. So the apps with any permission access have problem with Install button.
Everything was working fine but the I installed the last app named Network Monitor mini downloaded from other source and this app has a permission "Draw over other app and Modify system settings" maybe something fishy?! and also while I was typing here, Lg keyboard is not working properly like its automatically autocorrects on its own, turns caps, etc. I was hard time while typing here.
Any help? :crying:
Hi, have you tryed to uninstall "Network Monitor mini" or disable it (the background service) before installing something ?
or you can look at this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73405029&postcount=5

I've tried everything I could. Well there were some topics like this that were around 4 year old which caused due to some apps like lux, screen dimmer, etc. but I don't have anything like that and also this keyboard is causing problem a lot like auto typing, cursor jumping somewhere else, etc. Maybe factory reset is only thing left. Thanks anyway :good:
I had the same Problem a few weaks ago.
To fix it i first download the .apk file again. Then i opened a File Manager (for me it's Es File Explorer) went to the Download folder and clicked on the .apk file, the install Button didn't work. Now You have to click on the recent Apps Button in your navbar and switch to another App and directly switch back to the File Explorer, where the Installation windows is still open. Now i could press the install Button.
Hope this works.

Well I did factory reset and the problem was still the same because the first app I installed was ES file explorer and guess what this problem was only occurring in ES file explorer :laugh:
Everything is working fine when I open any apk file with default file manager. :good:
Thanks bro!
This is happening to me and it's the first time ever. I thought the phone was knackered again. I got into a boot loop when I flash the Magisk 17.0 zip from TWRP (the recommended option to install after DL was not visible). Could not get out of boot loop but was able to boot into TWRP so I just flashed Fulmics again (easiest option for me) and restored some backups and downloaded some APKs. Only one APK would install normally but if I pressed the power button and then woke the phone up again with the power button it would work and the "Install" option would no longer be greyed out.
Does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a permanent fix?
