[Q] Nook + Honeycomb + Angry Birds = Frustration - Nook Color Themes and Apps

So I see all these video posts about a Nook Color running Honeycomb and playing Angry Birds. How are they running Angry Birds?
I can install them off the market place but then I just get an force close error.
I have tried installing through ADB and also installing them to system/app...
HELP! Is there a way to run Angry Birds... Frustrated Angry pig...

it's probably a DSP issue

My HC was previously unable to see AB on the NC because Google wouldn't assign it an Android Market ID for the device. Here's one way to fix it. I know it works because I used it. There may better, quicker, easier, etc ways but whatever.
From a fresh HoneyComb v4 install...
NOTE: I run it off a Class 4 16GB Sandisk SD, speed is good. However, that shouldn't matter.
1) Install the Market but don't link it to your Google account yet.
2) Download the APK from the link below, install it, run it, emulate T-Mobile.
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
3) Once emulation is successful, run the Market. Go through the Google account setup wizard. Accept the terms when/if prompted. You're done.
If you'd prefer to not redo your HC install, perhaps merely clearing the cache data in the Google Services Framework / Market apps under Settings -> Applications might work. I've not tried it this way. After doing this, begin at step 2 above.
Regardless, I have Angry Birds (and "Seasons) running on HC and CM7. It does work well. No issues.

Honeycomb is automatically installing it to the SD card. Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and move it back to the phone. BOOM, piggy killin time.

That worked perfectly... Thank you so much... I can no have some bacon... LoL

i have this problem im unable to install angry birds. I have honeycomb v4 installed on emmc. When i try to install it from the market i can download it but it never installs

I was able to start the game by moving it to the device drive, but it locks up 2-3 minutes into the game, any ideas what might be triggering the lockup or how I might go about diagnosing the issue?

Update: looks like the nook isn't the only platform with an angry birds freeze. Per Android @ MoCaDo it appears that zooming in slightly might help the issue.

List of *Non-working* Sideloaded Apps

Let this be the list of software that needs some loving...
General Issues -- We need the statusbar to stay on screen at all times so that we have access to the menu and back buttons, or make the nook button a toggle for the status bar!!
Not Working:
Skype
Reckless Racing
NFS Shift
New Room
ebuddy
I have some apps that stopped working... (ASTRO, Dolphin HD, YouTube, ADW Launcher) and want to wipe and start over. Is there a way to do a wipe back to factory? Will it erase sideloaded books etc?
Cheers,
Rich
I have tried the following that haven't worked:
Skype (loads but you cant do anything once in the app)
Reckless Racing (Loads to title screen and crashes)
NFS Shift (One version crashes at title scene, other loads but with no textures)
NewRoom (Loads, but the button to add new sites doesn't work)
I think this thread will be better and much shorter than the "Working Apps" thread because MOST apps seem to work fine.
Anyway.
eBuddy doesn't even install for some reason.

Not sure why they wouldn't see your SD card. I installed both of those with no problems.
Slingplayer - older version does not work but the current version from the market works fine. The lack of menu keys makes it a bit of a pain but if plays fine.
Roadsync gets in a loop for registration and wont even launch the program (current version from the market)
Touchdown (current version from Market) runs but will not sync with my exchange server 2003.
I can't get ADWLauncher to run. LauncherPro works fine. Also, ASTRO and K9 won't start. Anyone having problems with these apps? I had them running last night, but started experimenting and somehow they got broken. Is there a log file that I can check?
Cheers,

Sketch Online won't work for me. Is appears to start but then just closes with no error.
Raging Thunder 2 fail to download game data.
Chromemarks
3d pool
Both of these crash

Same here...
I think this is hilarious. Nook Software will not run on the nook.
I can't get Grooveshark to run either... It launches, but as soon as you enter login information it crashes and doesn't open anymore.

Apps not showing on the app page

On my Archos 101 both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons do not appear on the Apps page. They are there. If I search they come up and can be launched. If I uninstall they show up until I switch of my 101 and switch on again - then they are gone again.
Any thoughts?

Need more information. What firmware are you running? Are you using any kind of root hack? What about your UI, are you using the stock one or something like Zeam?

Ah, sorry. Im running the latest firmware from Archos. OEM loader and no root hack. I did have zeam but uninstalled it.
here's a complete list of the apps Im running at the moment
My Apps List
Well, off the top of my head, I would guess that you have them installed on your SD card. If this is the case, it might appear like they are not showing up and you have to give it a minute to do a media scan and update your system. Also, if you haven't done it this way, install them from the AppsLib market instead of AppBrain or the regular market. Although I doubt there is any difference, who knows...
I mean you are not running anything too crazy that might be a source of issue, so I can only think of the way the system caches info as being a culprit.

Thanks. I don't have an external SD card at the moment as my device is shiney new so I havent used up internal yet.
I'll give your suggestion a try. I was wondering if it could be related to AppBrain. Here's my thought. When I go to the regular market and click my apps there are no updates showing. When I sync with AppBrain it shows a few things need updating. Can AppBrain and the Market conflict.
Its weird all round
hmmm
Yeah exactly the same thing happened to me just now before I even hit xda I thought it was a mistake then I saw this post... Glitchy new firmware could be related to the icons disappearing from the original 2.0.71 firmware bug possibly hmm yupper definetly a glitch Angry Birds disappered again, so lets drop some stats I have firmware 2.1.03 with Archangel installed. Hardware Archos 70H also did a reinstall after I bumped it to 2.1.02 but not after I upgraded to 2.1.03

Chainfire 3D games. (cm7 only)

Ok, So as many people have noticed, it's possible to install chainfire if you are running cm7. (Stock nook rom bootloops when you try to install, so if you don't know what "cm7" is, or "stock nook rom" don't even think about installing chainfire 3d unless you are a masochist.)
This thread is dedicated to what games you have been able to run on the NT with chainfire installed, and a quick mention of what settings you used to get it to work.
I've so far only downloaded and installed TegraZone, and got it to forward me to the market download pages. (not yet had the time to download anything) Though I am looking forward to playing around with it.
I will be compiling a list of games and what settings were successful here as people list them.
Soulcraft THD runs with reduce texture quality and the nvidia plugin. It lags when some spawns load, but this doesn't seem to prevent playing.
Street Fighter IV runs with Qualcomm plugin.
Ive got Chainfire3D set up but how exactly (and where exactly) does one obtain the nvidia drivers?

Nevermind i found em and installed but afterwards i still cant run any of the games. I chose the nvdia driver under opengl and clicked fix market but still says its uncompatible with device. Itll load the market page from the tegra app but then it says its uncompatable
Sent from my CM7 Nook Tablet
After I installed the chainfire plugins I cleared the data on the market app and rebooted. I used fix market of course and the market no longer shows me the incompatible with this app message.
Trying to get princess punt thd working but so far no luck at all. Thinking I'll be skipping it and moving to the next game

Did it, still didnt work. Sill not compatable

Hmm, Other things I have setup in my settings might make a difference. In the chainfire menu, I've got the nvidia driver setup under default for all apps, and setup as well under per app for the tegra app store. Try making those changes, clear your market data again and reboot (and refix the market)

Hmm. When I first installed the tegra app, I couldn't install from the market. (was trying to install soulcraft) I searched a bit, and found an apk online to download. it installed easy enough via es file explorer, but wouldn't run. I uninstalled the chainfire driver, and reinstalled it with the box checked for the beta egl driver. I then set the nvidia plugin under defaults with chainfire and cleared the market data. (I think this is also where I fixed permissions with rom manager for good measure). after rebooting and setting up chainfire for tegra app to use the nvidia plugin (and only nvidia plugin) for good measure, I also clicked on fix market again for good measure, I tried soulcraft and it still wouldn't run. I went into the tegra app and looked up soulfire. It went to the market download page and the update button was available. I clicked update. the app redownloaded and updated. Now it loads, and I notice that all the thd apps are showing me a download option in the market now.
Somewhere in all this the market started working with the tegra apps. Searches now will show up THD apps and downloads work fine too. I can't think of any other actions i took in trying to get them to load. Perhaps it was the fix permissions that tweaked things. not certain if it was the using the market to update soulfire but I don't see how that could be. I just assumed it was the clearing market data that did it. It might also be the beta egl driver that did it.
Lol ill try that soon when i have the time. Yu really want these tegra games dont you? And are they actually running smooth on the tab?

I've noticed a lot of games seem to come out first for the tegra based devices take soulcraft for instance. I read somewhere it's coming out for all devices soon, but the first release was tegra. When it comes to gaming, I'd rather not wait for several months to play a game if I don't have to.
As for running smooth, so far yes and no. I'm finding that soulcraft plays quite smoothly for the most part. However there are points where it freezes up for like 20 seconds while new creatures are loading. this hasn't negatively impacted gameplay but it's annoying. Otherwise it's played as smoothly as if it was meant for the NT. Still havn't been able to tweak princess punt to work, so I will move onto the next game I see later on tonight.
Ok, After tinkering with reinstalling chainfire after various rom flashes I think the key to get the market to show the tegra apps is simply to first wipe the market data. Second use the "fix market" button in chainfire.
If anyone cares Street Fighter IV runs with the help of Chainfire 3D and the Qualicomm (sp?) driver. Had to mess around a bit and watch a youtube video, it runs well but compared to other games the graphics are just ok and it can be a little choppy.

Can't download apps from Play Store. Please help.

I've rooted and installed the CM9 kang on my Tab 10.1. Everything is functioning just as it should e/crept for that fact that I can't download certain apps from the app store. It let me download Facebook, Chrome beta, beautiful Widgets, and Google currents without issue.
But then I tried to download a couple games like Angry Birds, Angry Birds space and a couple of other random games and I keep getting an error from the market telling me that an internal error is preventing the download.
I have tried formatting cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions but nothing seems to be fixing it. Would re-installing the market help? What else should I try?
Thanks for any advice.
maybe it will work!

You should try another google ID if possible , if that does not work I would recommend you reflashing the Rom and if that doesn't work try another Rom!
Hope it helps!

I would wipe and flash again. It's a pain, but typically does the job. The use titanium backup to restore the apps u need, not the data, just the apps. Hopefully you already have the app, if not it's worth the cash. When I downloaded Kang my app market worked a few times, than stopped. I just restored my Google play store from titanium and have had smooth sailing ever sense. Good luck!

Android Market and Build.prop concerns

Sup guys, you can probably tell I'm new here and I have some issues.
Sometime this morning I decided to try and install Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Ep. II on my Samsung Galaxy Indulge R910. I came to find out that it is only compatible with 2.3 and higher, but my Indulge is running 2.2 and there are no GB ROMs for it yet. I scoured the web and found a "solution" to it. If I go into build.prop and change the ro.build.version.sdk=8 to ether sdk=9 or 10, the app not only installs, but runs, too. It worked.
NOW here's my problem: My market doesn't work when sdk=9 or 10, keeps FC-ing unless I change it back, but then the Sonic app disappears and I need the market to download the SD Data for the game. Is there a way to get the market to run without the force close? Do I need a "newer" market version? Or are there more settings I need to try? I tried this one idea, by swapping vendor.apk with another, but same results happen! ANY help on the situation would be appreciated!
You need to clear Google Play Store and Google Framework Services data in: settings>applications>manage applications>(find both and select the "clear data" button).
You should also try using Chainfire 3D, which you can find on Google Play Store. You may not have not edit the build.prop and you can download and play Tera-based games as well through Tegra Zone (also found on Google Play).
There's also an option in Chainfire 3D to "forget market settings" to allow for this...

I tried the methods above, but they didn't help my problem. The Chainfire 3D seems cool for performance in 3D apps, but it has nothing to do with allowing GB apps to run on FROYO.
It has to do with the build.prop file, as I've said before. I changed the SDK version to allow or Sonic 4 ep 2 to come up, but my market continues to crash.
ro.build.version.sdk=8 (default) Market works fine, cannot use GB apps and GB apps that somehow were installed by changing SDK version now disappear from installed apps lists and menus.
ro.build.version.sdk=9 or 10 Market fails to operate correctly, keeps Force Closing, but GB apps install naturally, run naturally and behave just fine.
It's like 2 sides of a coin that can't be spent...
Bump
Seriously does anyone know how this could be done? I know there's a way, but I just don't know how and Google is coming up dry... Help please!
