market only showing some apps - Nook Color Themes and Apps

i have noticed that alot of the apps i have on my phone do not show up in the market on the nook. actually at most it only shows maybe 15-20 apps per category. i do a search for a app and it dont show up either. flash for instance does not exist in the market. anyone know why

turn the nook to landscape and more will show up. or install the new market.

I don't know why this.is happening, although I am having the same problem. I just started taking the apks from /data on my phone and loading them onto the nook and installing them that way. Its more complicated than using the market, but not a whole lot more complicated.!

irnoically turning it landscape mode worked as for showing up more apps lol. no clue why but it worked. it still wont find half the apps i have on my phone. like flash wont show up which is kind of important when using the web to its full. can you use astro to instal apps on this like you can on a phone? or is there some different procedure

There's another post in the nook forums which basically states to install "fastweb installer" and "AppBrain App Market". This worked for me and allowed me to find programs like Trillian (but at that price, @#[email protected]#$ that).
I don't think there's an overly usable flash at this point. You'll need to wait for 2.2 from B&N or the NookDevs.

The market on the NOOKcolor, even if it looks like the new market, will only show applications that conform to the Android API 7 API level (2.1 and below). FroYo apps all conform to the Android API 8, so they won't show up on your nook unless you drop FroYo onto it.

Using Root Explorer, I changed the System/App folder to R/W and was then able to upgrade the current Marketplace to the newer APK that is floating around the forums. With the new marketplace all apps are showing without needing to turn the screen to landscape.

The problem stated in this thread isn't about the ability to scroll lists in portrait or landscape, rather it is about the ability to see apps that other devices can find.
Two I have seen that immediately come to mind: searching for Firefox, and searching for Trillian (which was a rude way to find out Trillian is both out of beta and now rather expensive, dammit).
Neither will show up on the NC, but show up as the first result on my Droid.
And my NC is also running the latest iteration of Market.

Well, I know flash doesn't show up because it's not (yet) supported on NC. Maybe Firefox and Trillian don't show up for the same reason?

Some people are saying these apps, and others, are showing up for them no problem.

Are these people that are running nookie froyo, or stock 2.1?
All the apps will show up in nookie. They shouldn't in stock 2.1.

Worked on Nootered and Nookie Froyo .59 with new Market
I had the same issue and followed these insturctions from (i think) the original Nootered thread, but cant remember for sure.
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
then
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data -> Force Close
reboot
After that SliceIt, Minimalistic Text, and others that were not available previously appear.

Works nicely, but ends up with all the foriegn language apps showing up as well. Any idea how to restrict results on the marketplace by language ?

Thanks this helped me alot! i kept forgetting to reset the Google one.... duh....

dont forget the part where its set to default to only show downloaded apps in the settings so you need to go to menu and filter and show all

Have had nothing but fun playing with the nook. Even formatting my microsd card in the nook and ending up with it not turning on for a day till I repartitioned the storage didn't make me think it was not worth the effort. Compared to a $600 Galaxy Tab the nook is a bargain and well worth all the love bestowed on it IMHO.

fyi just clearing the market cache made some apps i couldn't find before appear. so even if the google framework is non existent in some like mine clearing cache does help

Google framework is not listed on my apps list. Im trying to download games such as angry birds and rocket bunnies but they don't show up

Android Market 3.13

V3.1.3 update:
# Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
(for all devices – does not require root, but you do need to enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ in Settings-> Applications.)
There’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
I've stuck with old one as the new one seems a bit laggy. Or is this newer than what was uploaded here a month ago?

This is the LATEST one from today/yesterday.
Version number for the one uploaded a month ago is 3.0.26 & 3.0.27.
How safe can those supposedly leaked market apps be.
And what a neat trick it is to tell that "Google rolled out a new market.". Then it is proclaimed as a leak. A Google rolled out a leak? With this verbal lingo maybe some people fall to that trick, so let it be said out clearly. Google has not released this app.
Why would official apps require "Unknown Sources" switched on. Only a hacked market app needs that and not official one.
Trusting your credit card info to such an app?
Big deal with those market upgrades provided by those hacked market apps. I rather have official market and know my apps and my credit card are safely mine only.
i tried it and its just the same as one a month ago
Thanks a lot for the .apk mate, it worked like a charm!
Many, many thanks!
Works great. Thanks.
Hi,

Anyone please help!
Suddenly my Market force closes whenever I try to open or download something.
I do all kind of tricks: Clear data, clear cache, reinstall,... but they didnt help at all.
I tried installing from oldest to latest versions but they all had same problem.
Now I just cannot use my Market to download apps anymore.
Please help me! Thank you so much!

Go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Uninstall Updates.
That should do the trick.
Amazing update !!

Why apps unavailable?

Why are a ton of Android Apps "not compatible with this device"? it's so annoying...
Is there a way they can be "compatible"
Your options:
1. Install on another device, push the apk to your tablet via email
2. Use a hacked market app (if there is one for the flyer) to download any app
3. Change the preferences file on your Flyer so that market thinks you have a different device (hard mode from #2)

What version of the Market App, would this be? Sorry, I'm new to the HTC Flyer. I just bought it last Friday.
--Thanks
Try Amazon App market for android or Aptoid, they are a bit more flexible on some apps, but you won't find all apps there.
Sometime certain apps are made for certain devices or certain resolutions. The android market being that we run android 2.3. It thinks we have an oversize phone and some apps aren't able to pan out or zoom to a certain factor to where it will take up all of our screen estate. some apps i tried that work on my phone on 2.3 look pixelated and low in detail on my tablet because was mad for a less resolution. Or its just simply not for our device. Just install apps you have on your android and see how they look to you and see if they work. Just takes trial and error.
I've side loaded all the apps that I need/want and so far so good.
I have had the same issue with some apps, I had them on my Galaxy Tab, but not for my Evo view. The cool thing is ASTRO Manager now has a backup in the newest update. If you have another android device, like I have the Evo 3D, so I take the app on there, back it up and from there you can share it via email or bluetooth. I did it last nite to put Handcent and a few others on my View.
Installing HC will fix the problem with "small screens" in apps... but will break other apps - gameloft games and some that are intended to be run @ the original screen ratio

[Q] The Netflix virus ...

So here's something odd ... I rooted my NT to 1.4.0 and stay there, but didn't choose the debloat option (so Netflix was still on it). Later on I have used Titanium to convert it from being a system app to a user app, and then used it's own uninstaller to uninstall it (I have also used Titanium to uninstall it). No matter how I have uninstalled it, it says it's successful, and it disappears from my system ... until ... dun dun DUN ... it re-installs itself!
I have sniffed around with Root Explorer in both system/apps, data/apps, etc. for any hint of a Netflix APK after it's uninstalled and don't see anything obvious. I have also made sure when it's installed to uncheck the automatic update box for it on the Market, but sure as ish, it finds it's way back, sitting there in my app tray with it's little orange "new" label over it's icon. Seems to happen when Market runs it's updates on other apps.
Anyone run across this before?
did you unlink Netflix to Market, within TB? Did you delete any netflix backups within TB? did you freeze the B&N device manager? curious as to why you would want to uninstall the HD version of Netflix.

Did you make sure to block OTA (over-the-air) updates? Nook Tabs update the stock/built-in software entirely on their own, and since Netflix isn't meant to be removable on the stock ROM it's probably checking to see if you have the newest version and installing it since you don't.

Ah, the "HD version" myth that's been floating around about the Netflix app.
There's no difference between the stock version of Netflix that comes with the Nook Tablet and the one you get from the market except that the market version is a newer release. I've run both on my Nook and streaming quality is literally identical. The reason why the stock ROM plays Netflix vids in higher resolution than the CM7 Alpha seems to be related to graphics drivers and/or how the device reports its resolution to the app; the app itself is basically a "one-size-fits-all" kind of deal.
I haven't done anything special to Netflix in titanium other than use the uninstall button on it. I also did choose to block OTA updates while rooting.
I don't have a paid Netflix sub so I never use it, no sense in keeping it on here anymore.

One thing I was wondering about CM7 was whether I'd end up sacrificing Netflix quality, so thanks for the post (even though I'd have preferred otherwise!)

My Quarantined / frozen apps

I downloaded an app called App quarantine from the market and put the following apps in the don't run bin , but before doing that I downloaded Go Launcher / Go Contacts / Go Sms Pro and did a ehh, conversion from the stock samsung apps to Go Stuff. Has anyone else done this or anything similar?
Apk's no longer running on boot
(See screen shots, i'm lazy today.)

There are a number of apps that do the same type of thing, Titanium Backup will 'freeze' apps as well as a whole host of additional features.
Then of course, another option is to just rename the apps from *.apk to *.bpk and rebooting.
My personal preference is a third option called Autostarts which is similar to MSconfig in Windows but for Android. The reason being is, it gives you the ability to keep an app from ever running unless you actually tap the app to run it but still allows you to keep the app installed in the event you want to use it. Google Maps comes to mind, I want it installed, I dont want it running in the background.
I dont recommend removing any of the bloatware if you plan on staying on stock but, some of it for US Note users was able to be uninstalled without root via either Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All Applications, then tap an app and see if uninstall was lit up, if so, sweet. Or, alternatively you could go thru the Market->(Menu Key)->My Apps but not all apps show up in this list. As a side note, I actually manually did a search for many of the apps on the phone and manually updated them because they were not showing up in the market 'My Apps' list.
One other side note, most of the Samsung apps are actually pretty decent, I usually dont touch them. Its the ATT software and the apps ATT took bribe money from third parties that bothers me (Yellow Pages for example).
Oh, and a little known feature of Go Launcher is the ability to hide apps.
Tap the App drawer icon to get to the list of apps on your phone, tap the menu button, tap hide apps. For those of us that havent bothered to root, this at least gives you the ability to not have to look at apps you dont want to see in the app drawer.
Wow thank you for all the info. As far as staying stock, I like making my devices unique to me, I did keep all spen related apps, but killed pretty much everything else. I doubt my phone will ever see an official release of anything, Xda all the way

Just to add I guess a 'fourth' option, I like to use the app 'root toolbox' available on the market with both free and pro versions. Under the advanced menu you can remove any system apps you like but the nice thing is anything you remove is automatically backed up to the root toolbox folder on the internal sd. The backup is done automatically so you dont have to worry about removing something and forgetting to backup first and also gives you the option to restore any system apps you removed simply and easily. Ill be honest the restore feature has saved my bacon many times lol and is also a great way to experiment which apps are safe and unsafe to remove.

10193 10194 Android

I set a data usage limit in my phone, because I was using a lot of data. After doing it, it alerted me that my mobile data was about to go over and cut off. So scrolled down and discovered these 2 "Android " (looked like the little green Android robot ) and they are named "10193" & "10194" 10194 runs in the foreground all the time and 10193 runs in the background all the time. I was told these are "Kaspersky Mobile Security or Parental Control Monitor" I'm 34yrs old and my parents don't monitor me, please help...

I do not think I did or ever had I looked at all the appsI have installed via play store under the all section of "my apps" and do not see it.
Why do you say it is Kaspersky? My phone has been having some really weird things happening to it. I went though 3 batteries in 2 months, its been using a ton of data. My data just reset on 10/29/13 and it is already at 5gb. Also we have been finding "duplicate processes" running in the application manager. I really don't know what to do, I have installed Avast, Look out, and some other antivirus apps nothing has helped. Reset a few times and it will help it for a little bit and then boom its right back

I recommend wiping completely and start fresh with a new ROM. You could also install an app like Data Manager and see which app is using the most data and uninstall. Also, do not install apps that you download off the internet. Only download from reputable sources like the Play Store and Amazon app store.

this is going to sound crazy, but i just got that phone back up and running in January. But that is what I did,,,
The reason I said Kaspersky is because this guy I know said he "googled " those numbers and symptoms a
and deemed it that. IT did have a spy wear type thing on it but it was not Kaspersky. It was one that was
sent from a website and it has to be removed via the website. I don't remember the name. Anyhow I have
long since ditched that phone and on to bigger and better things. But w/ that phone it has sparked an interest
in this whole "development/modification" thing! Thanks for you help and advice and sorry it took me so long to
get back to you! Be blessed!:laugh:
Hi Everyone, I know this is a very old thread, but I want to give out a solution because I just encountered this 10194 app as well.
I would like to post this for future reference to other people who will encounter this since I've done searching around about this but I can't find any solution.
To remove this app you must:
1. Open Settings and tap [Security] or [Security and Finger Print] or any other name it might now posses.
2. Under this settings entry, you'll see [Device Administrators], tap that
3. Inside [Device Administrators] you'll see that there is a blank application containing a space as well and the indicator should be ticked, that means this app has administrator access to your phone, it has access to calls, messages, email accounts, etc. See: here
4. Tap this app and [Deactivate] or [De-authorize] it
5. Now go back to the main settings list and navigate to [Apps] or [Applications]
6. Tap the app and you can now uninstall it.
I highly recommend changing your passwords for any account that might have been on that phone, there is a high possibility that this app has gathered information on you.
This includes phone call lists, phone call recordings, your contacts, your messages, notes, emails, etc.
This is a speculation of course and will highly depend on the amount of data this application has passed to wherever it connected to but it is safe to assume that you have been infected by malware and your previous information has been compromised.
