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The first thing first - 2.2.11 and 2.2.7 are out of date.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.

I bought MarketEnabler (donation key) and it appears to open up some apps, but not others. I'll try this one and see if it's any better.

Has anyone had any luck sideloading the vending.apk to the nook?
(edit: possible that it will work based on youtube.apk after sign in to you tube. )
some people are reporting success!
I think the issue is that before it's installed the Market app needs to be made to work on the device. Odds are by default that the market app will not work until someone will be able to edit it's properties.
The Market (vending.apk) has dependencies which be installed before it can work. The Setup Wizard that is normally present which links the device to a particular Google account is not present.
Even with the Market working, the NC isn't licensed for use with Market so it likely would have to use another device's fingerprint such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This is change is typically made to the "build.prop" file.

Also, the market should work without a fingerprint, BUT some copy-protected apps might be hidden. I'd get the market up and running first, then worry about the fingerprint stuff.
Also, yes, you'll probably need SetupWizard, but that can most likely be grabbed from...well, pretty much anywhere, including an emulator image.
I'd try it myself, but I won't be getting my NC til tonight.
I think the issue currently is that Setup Wizard doesn't appear to want to work over wifi.
I was able to get all of the Google apps installed last night but the Setup Wizard won't use wifi to sign into my account. Market and Gmail appear to want to work, but shoot you over to the Setup Wizard. The logcat doesn't show much with regards to fatal exceptions.
I'm open to ideas. It got really late last night so I didn't really get to try much.

Have you tried this? Where did you get the dependencies? I tried a gapps that was suggested from CyanogenMod, and it runs, but will not log in. The assumption was that it was trying to connect over 3G rather than Wifi. As of last night I thought it was still unsolved.
The last line of my post says "I'd try it myself, but I won't be getting my NC til tonight."
I don't see any particular issue with connecting over Wifi unless the Nook has a weird setup. We did the same thing with the Pandigital Novel and it worked fine (and that doesn't have 3G either).
Hopefully I'll have time to give it a shot tonight.

I was able to get Vending.apk to install but I also had to install the following:
SetupWizard.apk
GoogleApps.apk,
GoogleCheckin.apk
gtalkservice.apk
But since I can't seem to get it to register my Google account it does no good.
So how do we get the SetupWizard to work?

I pretty much got to the same place. I'm not really sure why SetupWizard wouldn't go through, if it is an issue with something they modified or something else. Unfortunately, they're using a really non-standard Settings.apk, and if I push that over and boot the Nook won't start until I revert it.

Is there maybe a way to set this information without going through the wizard? Maybe a db or prop file somewhere?
Thinking that it might be the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk I tried installed it however, got the following error.
[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]
I wonder if it can't go through the wizard due to a cert not being loaded.

I'll probably play some more tonight. One error message that stuck out to me was "GoogleLoginService not available", though that is supposed to live in Google Apps (which was pushed), so I'm not sure why it's having issues.

I'm probably spoiled from working on the Pandigital before this. That was a piece of cake, push over the appropriate stuff and Google Apps worked. I'm not really sure what the issue is in this particular case. It's most likely that Pandigital did a really lazy job building their ROM from an emulator image, and BN has done some more customization and removal of stuff, which in turn may be causing problems.
Hopefully it won't be a huge issue.

Hey guys. I made a mistake, here is what happened. I had ROOTed my phone a while ago and downloaded Barnacle. It was working flawlessly. My phone started acting up so i had thought to exchange the phone for another one, so i unrooted it and removed all the rooted apps i had on it. I didnt exchange the phone because it isnt giving me random reboots and the battery isnt getting really really hot when what i think its charging but it really isnt. I decided to keep it obviously and i just rooted right now. I go to download Barnacle from the market site and i am not allowed to click on my device that i have listed because "this app isnt allowed by my carrier" or something along those lines. Is there a way i can still get this app??
Thanks in advanced
From market, search and install "Market Enabler". Use that to change your market region to Telstra (Australia). Now you can search in market for Barnacle and be able download/install it. After that, revert back to your original market region with market enabler.
Thank you VERY much sir. Worked perfect. So what else can i do with this Market Enabler app?
Glad that it worked
I have no idea what else you can do with it since this was the only reason I used that for myself. Basically if AT&T removes a particular program from their market, you can search for other providers' market with this app and install the program.

Just wanted to throw this out there. With a lot of apps made for rooted phones you can usually download the apk right from their respective websites onto your phone and use the built in file manager to install them. That's how I got Barnacle anyways.

Well, here's the thing. If it's not already listed as a compatible app for your phone than it won't link to the market regardless. It would work just as well to check the website probably once a month for updates, just as you would have to do with the market enabler. But if you use the website, you could get your hands on some beta versions ahead of time.

I have a tablet with android 2.3.5 on it, but I notice there are lots of apps written for android 3.0 honeycomb. I'd like to play with some of them, but the market tells me the apps are not compatible with my device. And it won't let me even download them.
Is there a way I can make my tablet report to the market that it's running 3.0?
Thanks.
Dan
Even if you did that, the apps still wouldn't work. They would just say "error parsing package" before even installing. If they "happened" to install, they would just force close on start.

I'm going to disagree with this. There are plenty of apps that don't work on certain devices according to the Market yet run perfectly fine on those devices. When it comes to apps made specifically for 3.0, you're more likely to run into problems with functionality, force closes, or screen size. Parsing errors are generally from a problem with the download or package itself, but I could be wrong.
Your options are to change the build.prop to read 3.0 (assuming that's how the Market discovers your build) or to download from another source. I don't know if Amazon does some type of device check or not, but you can try that.
If you decide to try editing your build.prop, back it up first just in case.

Yes, this is wrong (in some cases). Parsing package errors occur based on firmware version. If you tried to install an app made for Gingerbread on Froyo, you would get this error. Since the OP wants Honeycomb specific apps to be able to run on Gingerbread, this error is highly likely to occur. Even if the an app worked, then there would be major functionality problems.
I think I follow: if the functionality the app is expecting isn't there, then there *will* be a problem. That makes sense.
However, I have managed to get my hands on a Motorola utility (MotoPrint) from a xoom image I found on the web, that *did* work. Admittedly, it was either going to work or not.
In this instance, it piqued my interest. And made me think that the app creators *may* be, um, overselling the "newness" of their apps by promoting them as "honeycomb." And I just wanna play. XD
I've already tried editing build.prop to no avail tho. So that's why I'm soliciting ideas.
Dan
Try and sideload the apps in question? But as posted some apps that require HC will not run or run correctly on GB.

Dealing with apk files can be easier than the android market.
And everything is free if you know where to look *cough*
Based on your first post, google will not allow you to buy the apps you want, correct?
That's not a fault of anything you are doing. Google doesn't want you to buy those apps apparently. That doesn't mean you can't "get" them.

All of the apps I have been viewing on Tablified are Honeycomb. Many are free. There are few nice ideas that I'd simply like to see if they work on my VeganGinger G-tab.
Google simply says the app is incompatible with my tablet, and greys out the install button.
So far, this is the most annoying thing in Android to me. Dammit, just let me try it. I know I may not get *all* the functionality. I'd just like to see if it's a tolerable thing for me. Without needing to jump thru hoops.

Welcome to fragmentation.
Heres a legal source for free apks.
http://androiddev.orkitra.com/download/apps/
On a sidenote I use a Galaxy S Captivate with 2.2 froyo.
There are some apps (games mostly that I have encountered) that will not run at all on less than android 2.3.x regardless of where you get the apk from.
So I can only assume the same is true with 2.3.x/3.x
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I want to be able to buy BN apps for the NC on CM 7.1 WITHOUT restoring stock. Tried installing shop.apk as well as all the BN*.apk files from 1.3 to system/app within CM7.1, but shop wouldn't install.
Also, are the NC apps somehow optimized for tablets/NC?
If you extract the apk and then install on CM7 it should work.

I too would be interested in this. So I guess what the OP and I would be looking for is a walk though on how to do something like this. I am assuming I would have to install ADB on my PC and then what? I know about ADB push for manually side loading stuff, but for copying from the device?
The second part is I am nootered. I don't know about the OP, but would that make a difference? Supposedly ADB wireless is already installed on my nook.
To get an apk from the nook with adb, you'd do:
adb pull /data/app/filename.apk
Assuming its a data app, and not a system. Also note, it's all case sensitive.
Are these apks mentioned above specific to each device? Or could they just be pulled from someone's and posted here (unless paid apps of course)?
If so, happy to do that.

Bro, that's not what your first post says. If u know how to do this, print a logcat or tell us what kinda errors you're getting so someone can help. If the apps are in fact different, i could compare the apk to an original and see what is changed.. And then maybe progress.

Hey bra, what apps you talkin' bout?
What I've done:
Copied Shop/BNPolicy.../BN [every other app]/ from the 1.3 zip in system/app to my CM7.1 install into system/app. Changed permissions, rebooted. Shop fails to install. I think the shop.apk is only meant for froyo (is 1.3 still froyo?). I might tear about the apk and try to change the manifest, but if anyone else has any ideas, let me know.
In any event, I'll probably wait until the 1.4 rollout and see what they have, and how easily that could be ported over to CM7.1.
TO REITERATE: I want to be able to buy BN apps for the NC on CM 7.1 WITHOUT restoring stock. Also, are BN apps actually optimized for NC? Anyone care to post a freebie apk from stock NC and see how it compares to a market equivalent?

That would be interesting. To purchase apps using the stock shop in a non stock rom.
I was just hoping to run something besides stock and not lose the $$ I had invested in purchased apps through the stock store by being able to run them on CM7 or HC or whatever comes along.

You can always dual-boot. It is a minor inconvenience to reboot everytime, but will do the job until something better comes along.
Hey all,
I know this is an old thread, but with cm9, CM could become my go to rom on the NC (it was rooted stock).
I realized that what I liked about stock was the way it used the status bar. This was something cm7 tried to emulate, but it is smoother in ics. In addition, the tablet style apps work well on ics.
Anyway, back to the discussion at hand.
I have been able to sideload every app I purchased from the nook store to my cm7 (and the ones I tried, cm9) partition successfully.
However, I heard there were issues using the system app.
I will start to play with the preloaded apps when I get a chance (which will be a while, we have exams this week).
I will report back as I do. Here is what I already know...
The shop will not work on gingerbread (or ics) without an edited manifest (or edited buildprop).
It was made under froyo.
I will report back when I learn more.

Just thought I would post progress...
All apps I purchased from BN work (I did not buy many, but they do work).
As does Chess, and Crossword (I assume soduku will work).
However, none of the system apps do.
I tried running and installing Reader, browser, shop, launcher and a few others as well as the settings app. And, none of them would install or allow titanium to install either. This is with an edited build prop.

I have Chainfire, and I have the APK but I have no idea how to get the extra game data to download. I tried changing my build prop but that didnt help. Does anyone know how to make it download the data or where I can download the data. Every Google search I did returned downloads for the data but they all said the files had been deleted.
It works for me now with the new update from the game.
Using stock settings with CM7.1

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.

I did exactly what you wrote and seems to load fine but once I get to the main menu I hear the music but everything is bright white!

Bought this via Android Market, no problems running at all. Well worth the couple of bucks.

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.
