I did a search for apk's to try out on my newly rooted Nook and came across this post so I thought I share it here, I'm planning to try out a few of these and see if I can get any of them to work and thought I'd post the link here in case anyone else wants to give it a shot.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712594
Also here is a link to the droid X multitouch keyboard apk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709948
When I get a chance to try some of these out (hopefully later today), I report back with my findings.
Please let us know. It would be great to use some of these...

I tried gmail, it installs but it doesn't run. Guess I'll need to install a few other items along with it. Tried live wallpaper too, that doesn't install.
k-9 email works much better for emails.. i got it off of applanet.
Site with direct .apk downloads that work
There is a bunch of freeware .apk's that you can download directly from this site:
vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android (I can't post links yet two v's = one w)
Including gesture search from google which I installed and it works great on the NC.
Here is the link: vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android/app/gesture-search
Gesture Search 1.2.1 seem to be the latest available version. Below you can find file(s) assigned to this version:
Gesture_Search_1.2.1.apk (807 KB, ↓ 445)
As far as the files from the Galaxy S: I haven't had much luck but I only tried a few. My main concern is trying to find a working calendar app that will sync with my google calendars and a working gmail app. I got the calendar app installed and have the same icon I have on my phone but when I tap the icon nothing happens. For now I'm using K-9 email and it seems to get the job done but I'm still searching for a fix for the google apps.
hey jm20,
how does this gesture app works? is it using strokes or something like that?
gesture app
It basically indexes your files then you use your finger to write a letter on the screen corresponding to the file name you are looking for and the program starts to filter the results, it works rather well and is pretty quick. If you have a bunch of unorganized files on your nook it could really save you time. If you are very organized and know exactly which file is in which folder the app won't really be of any great use to you. Hope that helps.
I have been using dolphin HD 4.0 browser which also uses gestures for navigation and it works great. Seems to be more accurate than the stock browser, as far as screen tapping on links go (probably just my imagination though) and it has built in pinch to zoom.

jm20, thanks for explaining , it is quite clear now

Posted this in the general Android forum but no one's helped so hopefully my fellow X10'ers can take 2 minutes and do this:

Can't get it on the Market in Canada, tried searching, AppBrain and MarketAccess to no avail. :-(

I tried to install it from Astro, but it said cannot parse the file.
also getting the Unable to Parse File error on CM7.1 with Nexus S.
Can someone else try uploading it?
can we get a new source, seeings as MegaUpload has bit the dust?
This is an old thread, but I needed the APK and it took my like half an hour to track it down.
So here it is for anyone else looking for it on XDA, no parse errors or anything like some other ones floating around.
It looks like Google TV Remote was updated to version 1.1.0 today.
Changelog:
1. Voice search support for Google TV 3.0.
2. Replaced the swiping D-pad to the normal D-pad.
3. Added Accessibility.
4. Added D-Pad Navigation.
However it's not available outside the US. I'm in Canada and unable to download it on the Galaxy Nexus, even though Google TV boxes are being sold here. If anyone would be kind enough to pull the APK and post it, that'd be much appreciated!
Thanks
Hi All,
I could really do with the latest also as the UK don't have access either and I've just gotten one of the MK808B's through this morning.
Thanks

Sorry in advance, but I bought a gtab for the wife, and although I'm an engineer with many years of experience with PC hw & sw, this android stuff is all new, and there's no user's manual that I can find, and I'm too old for this sh#t!
So anyway, every few days she comes up with something she easily does on the PC but can't do on the gtab running tnt lite.
Today's is that she wants to email a link to the website she's on to herself or others without copy and pasting to an email client, and I can't see, or find, any to do it.
Help, please. And anyone want to buy a slightly used gtab!?!? j/k; she does like it - but I don't need the aggravation!
Thanks for any help,
Robb

I don't know if this works on the TnT browser (I don't think it uses the stock Android Browser).
But on stock android browser, press 'menu', 'more', 'share page'
Thanks, but menu button seems to be dead while using the browser.
Lol I was trying to do the same thing earlier today and can't figure it out either My HTC evo all u do is hold down the website link and it will pop up share page or copy page URL. I have tried everything no luck
You could just load another browser??
Opera, firefox, dolphin, Xscope.
They all have their advantages.
Firefox mobile has a 'share page' option; thanks! 1 down, a few more to go. I do see there are printing apps I'll need to check out.

You can do it on Dolphin too if you want your browser to support flash.
Found this application which was once only on i-application(iphone) working fine on our touchpad and yes it also plays good on my LG optimus one too. It is like google currents but a little different in work around. Enjoy the port.
Here is the app
Press thanks if I helped.........
no offense but I'm pretty sure i've seen this posted somewhere else..u might wanna give credit to the original poster who yanked this from the sg III launch event..

yes you are right but most of the posts and topics look nice, neat and clean.
and I think something is still better than nothing....
what do you say?
compared to the browser....you'd have to argue the need for this, it was designed for the phone (GS3) and all that's been done is ported from there. If they developer made a bespoke tablet version then it'd be nice. but hey, thats my beef with ICS at the moment, many apps are stretched and look wrong
I like it alot.... Thanks for sharing,I hadn't seen the other thread so glad to have the app on my og evo and touchpad

Someone was working on a version where they adjusted the fonts to make them look better on a tablet but I never saw the actual package posted.

I was working on it.... Never got it right, as it appears I was only able to change the UI fonts. The article fonts themselves appear to be set remotely and just displayed locally. So it didn't even fix the biggest issue with the fonts which is in the articles themselves. It only fixed the UI and header fonts. I was going to post the APK anyway, but I found a force close error when trying to add new feeds, so that made things not so nice. Add to that the fact that for some reason, the APK wasn't installable unless I re-signed it, that makes it difficult to switch between versions without uninstalling/reinstalling, I decided not to post the modified APK.
If a developer type wants, I can send the modified APK directly. I'm not going to post it here because it's A) not stable and B) didn't achieve the intended purpose anyway, and C) I don't want to have to support something that's broken/unfinished.
Anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an APK can do the same thing I did. All I did was reduce the font sizes in the XML layout and values files. As I said though, that didn't have any effect on the actual article content, which appeared to be defined remotely.
Could someone please tell me what the stock clock/weather app for this phone is? I seen a preview and it looked great so I was wondering if its something
only for the Atrix or if it was an app I could install on my phone as well. I'm running Android Jellybean on my HD2 so I dont think I'll run into a problem of it
not being capatible since the system is pretty similiar. I've looked on several sites for the answer and my eyes are getting sore from searching so long.
Also if someone could upload the apk file if its not a paid app I would appreciate it very much. Thanks! :victory: The picture provided is the app I am talking about.
its from the new atrix hd. Search in the atrix themes and apps section to find the apk for it. Better yet here is the OP on it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787403
Thanks. That led me a few places and I found a thread that had it named as "Rings Digital Weather Clock" on Google play.
Not nearly the same but still gives a nice look.
Perhaps this isn't the right forum, but none of the other Android sub-forums seemed the right place for this question.
Facebook for Android running on a tablet is a horrible experience. The same version running on my phone is quite a bit better. I think I've got 1.9.9 on both my Tab 8.9 ICS and my Amaze with ICS. On my phone, when I got to someones page, I get the new timeline with coverphoto and access to things like a link to their photo albums.
With 1.9.9 on my tab, the page is compressed to a thin column in the center of the screen, going to someones profile shows some old mobile form of their profile, and has no links to things like photos. At one time, the app used the full screen on my tab (no thin center column business) and had access to all the places within facebook. I know back in the 1.8.x releases, it worked fine. I think it was the 1.9.x that brought on the center column issue.
So, does anyone know the last decent version of facebook that worked on the tablet version of android? Please no responses like "use another client", or "go to the website".
Edit: Found a very minimal listing of facebook version numbers and dates released.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/facebook-for-android/com.facebook.katana
From that, and the time I bought my tablet, I think v1.9.3 was probably the last that worked ok on my tablet. I really wish the play store had better change logs, for example, when an app dev uploads a new version, there's a what's new field. I'd like to see way to access the history of changes to that field, perhaps even a way to access old versions of an app, for cases just like this.
Sounds rom related. I run thors JB on my A500 and dont have your issue with the most recent version of facebook. Ask on the forum for your tablet, preferably in the thread for your rom and see if anyone else has the issue.

I guess I remember seeing reviews on google play stating they had the same problem and assumed it was an issue with tablets. I'm running the stock factory ROM on my tab.
When I get some time tonight, I'm going to see if I can find a couple of the older versions of the apk to see if it was a client side or server side update that caused the issue. I assume the FB app just pulls up the profile page for someone, and it's pulling up an outdated mobile page, instead of the new timeline based page. After I try a few things, I'll report back, just in case someone else stumbles on this thread with the same issue.
