Ive seen a video of it running on the nC but I can't seem to find an APK that will work.
This is the apk that I was able to use. It's for Earth 1.0, but it's working at least.
Here's what I did to get it to work:
-Have Superuser and Astro installed on the NC.
-Have a microSD card (regular, not the nooter) loaded into the NC.
-Copy the apk into the SD card.
-Install googleEarth through Astro.

It works for me... i',m looking at my house right now.
I also get the 'unable to write to data dir' error... I wonder what the problem is.

I don't know why this worked, but it did. I was getting the same error message when I attempted to install this from my Sd via Astro. I left it on my SD and backed out and then installed it again on my internal, and Voila... Earth!
Okay so I'm with the rest of you guys I don't know what happened.. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and now it works..

uninstalling and reinstalling is the key... thanks!
Is it definite that 1.1 doesn't work?
Interesting, I tried loading the latest version from the Market and it just sits on the splash screen. There are menus, prefs etc, but nothing more than the splash screen.
Just tried to reinstall it, same.. Maybe I'll install the version here, although honestly I never saw much use in Google Earth on the phone, even though I use it a lot on the computer.
Ha, and I think farking with Google Earth rebooted the Nook, I didn't notice when it happened but my Uptime Widget showed 7 minutes uptime after I uninstalled it trying the above..
I installed from Market and got the splash screen. Res was a lot smaller than the actual NC screen. filled about 2/3 to 3/4 of the screen. Anytime I tried to run it though it froze and wanted to FC. Just wanted to try it...no real use for it though so didn't try again after uninstall.
Hey that's cool it worked! We'll see if the update in the market breaks it... brb.
Odd, I couldnt even find it in the Market to update. But it works, I'm happy.
Also, Google skymap runs, and sort of works, it can tell pitch and roll, but its a hardware limitation (check it out for yourself)...
So we HAVE to load this via astro? Cant just use adb to load the apk?
This Google Earth apk works just fine on my 1.0.1 Nook
The apk above this post worked fine for me. Is there supposed to be 3D structures in Google Earth, or is that asking too much for this device?

Thx xboxexpert! I downloaded the apk file to my SD card, and used ASTRO to install it. Easy as pie. I'm still new to working with Android, so any little triumph builds confidence. Thanks for the help on this issue and the many, many, MANY others you have helped us on!
PS Lovin' my NookColor. It's amazing what this thing is capable of once it's rooted.

I am having the same issue with installation of Google Sky Map. It seems to be the ONLY application that I cannot install... and trust me, I've tried 'em all. (NOT LITERALLY...)
Anyway, I'm using the "MattC" build of Android 2.2, with HTC Sense.
I have installed all of my paid applications, various "out of market" apps, and even other Google certified apps.
I'm not too sure what the issue could be...
that's not only cannot be installed.

Install the program "Auto Mount" from Market and remount your SDcard.
It's because of this feature in the latest version of Sky Map:

p.s. Sky map is not working properly because the compass sensor is not auto callibrating.

Thank you sir !
Everytime I unmount the SD card and try to install Google sky map, I get a message saying "there is not enough space available to install the app".
I was having this problem on my Nexus 1 running CM6. This trick worked like a charm. Thanks!
I didn't have a problem installing Sky Map, but the "aim at a spot in the sky" function doesn't work. It's stuck pointing where it was when I started the app and doesn't turn.

Is the G-Sensor function of your phone disabled? You might check to see if there's an option or script to enable/disable it, either in settings or an app. (e.g., gScripts) Sure sounds like it.

Just wondering, has anyone got Pocket Legends to work on your HTC Legend handsets? I can't find it on the market, and when I try to install the .apk, it just says I don't have enough space...
It is working fine on my Legend. Clear up some space and try installing it again.
When I try to install it, it simply won't!
Azure, most recent. "Application can't be installed" (Translated from dutch this is) I have 50mb free internal, and 2,4gb external. It won't install on either.e
Try downloading from another source. Maybe the apk that you have is broken. I had that issues with some apk, but I redownload and everything went fine.

Glad to hear someone has gotten it to work.
I got the same message (about insuffienct space) when trying to install Angry Birds, until they released the new version for lower res devices, so I was afraid it was the same problem.
I'll keep working on this then..

hmm, well I've tried 4 different .apks now and I have +60mbs available.
I'll wait and see if it turns up in the market at some time.

Ok first of all are you on 2.1?
yup, still running stock android 2.1.
I haven't read anywhere that 2.2 should be a requirement?

Don't think so. Anyone playing? Add me - Rajasyaitan. This game is awesome! Lol.
Has anyone got it on an unrooted phone? I suppose it would install direct to SD on 2.2 which would negate the whole size issue.
It is kinda insane since I can find it on the market on my wife's x10 mini running 2.1, but not on my Legend...

Yup it does.
works fine on unrooted phones + doesnt need su + is available on the market + supports app2sd but app 2 sd says it only needs 12,9 mb space, i think the 110 mb space are for caching reasons.
It's not in the danish market for Legend. It does show up for other phones, but not Legend.

Darn, need to buy the levels to keep playing. Now that is a massive turn off.
So, after a bit work working and jerking, i actually got my Nook to show everything on the market; sad thing is, i can't say exactly what step did it. But i know overall what i tried, so i can at least mention here...
The first thing first - 2.2.11 and 2.2.7 are out of date. The newest is 2.3.2, and there are some great customized versions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957331
From here, i did a couple of things:
1) Did the standard clear market cache, force close, clear framework data, force close
2) Mounted /system and pushed Vending
3) Fixed permissions (on this, i went overboard, and basically did a chmod 777; but i am sure it doesn't really need that)
4)reboot
5) try to install it a few times (each install failed)
6) Use market enabler, with t-mobile (US) (i ended up buying the key, so i can fake it always on boot)
7) a couple more reboots in there
All said and done, the themed market finally showed up, and even better, EVERYTHING that was once hidden is there. Flash, Angry Birds, Dolphin.. all accessible. Even better, market.android.com now shows the nook, and doesn't say that my device is not able to run whatever. The website itself shows:
Unnamed Device LogicPD Nook Color (zoom2) T-Mobile February 17, 2011 February 16, 2011
Anyway, ill try to answer questions as people have them, but it looks like with the newest market, and (maybe) the faker, we can get full market access.
Well not sure how to get it working, did the easy try with just trying to install the .apk , but it says something about a problem parsing the file or something. I am new to android so not sure how to do the other stuff you talked about. I have root explorer btw.
Hmm.. when trying to install, i didn't run into any parsing errors - it just said it couldn't install.
For Froyo only?
Saw the framework data clear cache which is not seen in Eclair. Just checking.
I found this app that makes the market work with all the apps showing up. It's called MarketAccess. I couldn't find it in the android market, but you can download it here h t t p://amip.org.ru/android/MarketAccess. I have been using the T-Mobile US setting and it seems to work.
Interestingly the site claims MarketAccess is a complete rewrite of MarketEnabler. Not sure whether that's a good thing or not (yet). However, the site does detail why the rewrite was done and what was changed to a degree. Sounds good anyway from the bits I read.

How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.

I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

Not sure if this will help, but this is how i was able to get it to work.
If you (or anyone you know) has an android phone, install the apk. to the phone. Update the app if it isnt already updated. Donwload the data. Then, move the data from the phone SD card to your Nooks SD Card. It should be saved under Android-data-com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf.
I will say that after I did this, i had to reset my Nook to get the app to notice the data, but it works fine now.
Hope that helps.

This is because his phone has a PowerVR (like the NC) gpu while yours probably has a qualcomm or nvidia. You need the correct type of sd card data.
I bought this an was really enjoying Shift until I had to re-image the NC.
Now, I have an odd issue. In the Market, I can't even see NFS Shift. However, on my other NC, I can see NFS Shift and can download again if needed.
How do I get my re-imaged NC to see it in the Market to re-download?
Thanks!

The android market is a fickle thing. I flashed the same ROM (CM7n253) to multiple Nooks. Only one of them won't allow me to download Google Earth because it's "incompatible." The only difference between the devices is that I assigned them unique IMEIs. I put "Blood and Glory" on my NC and I was going to put it on the others only to find that it doesn't show on the market. Checked market website and sure enough it's listed as "incompatible". Checked my NC and now it's listed as "incompatible" too. Good thing it's a free app, I just titanium backed it up and loaded it on the others. I really wish android market had an advanced mode where you could ignore it's "compatibility" settings.
I'd also like to have a way to gift games (a la steam) cause I would have bought a lot more at the holiday sale if I could have just emailed the codes or had it open on their markets.
apk and data from a Droid X
I installed the apk from my Droid X (which I purchased) along with the data but when I attempt to start the game I get an error message that says "Error (Airplay v4.3.10 [2599558]) S3E_DEVICE_PHONE_NUMBER: This device don't have a phone number!".
Thoughts anyone?
UPDATE: The game starts after I click off that error message. However, even though the game will see the data from my previous game play from my Droid X (money, experience points, etc) it still displays the message "If you want to purchase the full game." even though the copy off of my Droid X was purchased. It also doesn't let me change tracks either so I'm stuck on the Tokyo one.
