Amazon Appstore! - Nook Color Themes and Apps

The Amazon Appstore works great on Cm7 just downloaded angry birds rio. Which is free for today!
It detects both my nook and my g2 just fine. and prices tend to be a little cheaper through amazon for apps.
if interested head over to amazon.com/appstore and get Rio it runs and looks great with no ads!

came to post this.
downloaded Rio with no problems. 1.0.1 auto-nootered, with the 1.1 pre-root

Running 1.1, auto-nooter 3.0...
I had to sideload this .apk to get it to install. Wouldn't install from the link.
But now it works, free Angry Birds!

Downloading from the link works. You need to move the .apk to your /system/app directory before you try to install it.
I also installed the Amazon App store and Angry Birds Rio. I'm also considering buying the original Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons to get rid of the ads! I hate in-app ads!!

Answering my own question:
1 - I went to http://amzn.to/getamazonappstore on desktop and download
Amazon_Appstore-release.apk
2- I moved the apk using dropbox from desktop to Nook and put it on root of SD card
3 - I installed with Apps Installer
4 - Sign in with your Amazon email and password
5 - Voila! enjoy
Get one app free daily! For today (3/22): Angry Birds Rio

Reported to work with CyanogenMod 7 as well...

maybe i'm missing something, but why would you want this on your NC? What does it offer that the market doesn't?

angry birds rio on honeycomb emmc
its crashing on me for honeycomb, already moved from sd to phone.

My nook is Autonooter 3.0 rooted.
I downloaded the Amazon apk file, put it on a sd card in the root, it copied. I inserted the card in my NC, opened Apps Installer and got this error:
Install blocked
Installation of downloads apks is not supported.
Any suggestions?

Mainly Competition, Lower prices and angry birds rio for free atm
Also sometimes the market says our nook isn't compatible with certain apps, while other markets like the amazon store will let us download the app just fine

Make sure you allow sideloading in your settings, settings-Applications-Check unknown sources

Well, Angry Birds Rio for one. I tried in vain to look for Angry Birds Rio in the regular Android Market and have been unable to find it.

Go into your "NookColor Tools" in your app drawer. Uncheck/re-check "allow non-market apps". Then move the .apk to /system/app and try the install again.

You don't need SDK, just install some file manager from Market, like "OI File Manager", browse to the sdcard downloads and click on the apk file to install it.

yes... but this is a thread about how to get the Market app onto phones that don't come with it installed. You can't download a file manager from the market without having the market available

Sorry, I thought that this thread was about enabling paid applications in Market as it was referencing MarketEnabler and MarketAccess.
Ahh, you're probably right
Certainly some carrier's X10 minis don't have the market on then at all
My UK Orange one defaulted to Orange's crapware homescreen with Orange's own shop, and hid the real marketplace and the S.E. homescreen away - I feel sorry for the poor users who don't know better and end up stuck buying apps at Orange's inflated prices!
Did you mean that you doesn't have market app?
Try to extract the attachment, copy to sdcard, and install it using File Manager... Don't forget to tick "Unknown Source" in Settings > Application
I don't know whether it'll work or not, so just try it... It's a market app from my X10 Mini

Does this or MarketAccess allow us to download apps that have been removed because they *might* be incompatible due to screen resolution etc?

Angry birds install?

Am i missing a step? I downloaded angry birds from Amazon on my NC rooted since i could not find it with the NC market place and i have the install icon but it errors out everytime i try to install it. I have selected app install and package install and both error out. I did download kindle app from amazon and that works so i atleast know i can download something. My SD is also inserted.
Thanks in advnace for the help!

try taking out the sd card to download
no luck. it states that it requires an SD card. I tried downloading it from Appplanet and still no luck but ive been able to get other stuff installed and going....home switcher, dolphin HD, facebook, ADW launcher...and so on...
What version of android are you running? You shouldn't be having that much trouble with it. Other options are to find an .apk and install either with a file explorer or installer app.

I was able to install astro filemanager through downloaded apk

I was able to install astro file manager via apk. I had to allow outside sites. I usd the package manager when prompted and open after install. I was able to see the system files but i tried to copy them to my sd card with no luck. This does not create a link on the shelf and i dont know how to launch it unless i reinstall from the downloads in the browser. I also attempted other apk some worked others did not. Not sure if this helps anyone I m not a developer just fooling around at Mc donalds playing with my new nook tablet. Maybe this info is already out their if so im sorry.
How about trying to install a launcher like Go Launcher? The Kindle Fire people have some type of success with Go Launcher.
Have you tried rebooting after installing to see if icons appear?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
no but I will.
you'll need a launcher to be able to see your apps. The nook hasn't shown the BN installed apps and the user installed apps in the same place since 1.1.
Very interesting if Zeam or Go are installable. My memory is that the old BN app installer would not install non-BN apps.
I tried a reboot no luck. I Also tried to install the apps from the download location after reboot. I get a problem parsing the file. This could be because temporary internet cache is cleared after reboot not sure.
I have Go running right now on mine and it rebooted into it automatically. If I home button, it goes back to the Nook default UI and I haven't found a way to get back to Go yet.
same her go is running and my other installed apk's are showing up in the app menu
here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook tablet
Here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook. With installed apks in the app drawer.
I have File Expert, Market, G Books all installed as well as the Google services APK. Can't log into market yet. I'm a total n00b on this so if more experienced people have advice, let me know.
edit -
Nevermind.. must have been a bad file name or location.. i found another one and it works now.

Yeah, I had done that.. I guess it just didn't like the file.. it was an attachment from here.
Thanks for the go launcher link.
Got the Google account info in via Youtube apk. Access to G+ works fine. Working on market now.

Market keeps force closing though the 2.3.6 market will stay open for a bit. In a twist of irony, the Amazon App store works perfect. Likely no more updates from me tonight.
Summary, download Go Launcher apk and install using Package Installer. Get a File management program, then go to town.
amazon appstore
I have installed amazon app store including all my free apps
from my account. plus opera web browser play on and kindle this rocks.
wave launcher
I have installed wave launcher and added go launcher this can help make up for moments when you need a home button and want to stay in go launcher. Hope this helps.
Is there anyway to get back to the page with "Install from unknown sources" again? I can't find a way of getting there through the settings, and I'm curious if it's even accessible otherwise.

I couldn't find a way. I hacked one of my test apps to launch it. Download the tgps_launcher, and hit "start".
http://comptonsoft.com/test/
I just found that double tapping the N button in Angry Birds will let you chose which launcher to use.
Now I can use ADW on this thing.
Is Kindle Reader app installable? That would make it worth it. Also are the apps all being installed in the 1gb or can they be installed in the BN partition?

app is not installed

after downloading some games i can't install apps
Could you give some more information?
What games did you downloaded?
Where did you downloaded those games?
Does it gives any error or does it something strange?

I don't know if you try it, but if you are downloading games which are not in market, you must go settings/applications and there you must select unknown origins that let you install anything downloaded away from android market maybe you knew it... just in case...
after selectin that options you can install whatever you want in your phone

Facebook application for NT

Hi Guys,
I am trying to find Facebook and Twitter Application for NT.
Even though i have widget for both, i am looking for Application.
Can somebody help me with Apk..
Cheers!!!!
Im looking for this as well so I will be watching for an answer.
Thanks
Are you guys looking for THE Facebook app, because AFAIK, it does not work on the NT. I don't know about the official Twitter app. I use Tweetdeck (sideloaded from my phone).
I should have said the "roooted" NT
Try this for Facebook

you have to use an older version for it to work

No you don't, I have the latest versions of both and they're running flawlessly.

Flawless Victory! Facebook app works and Widget too! TY for this.
FYI: The newest versions of both apps work on the NT. The market just won't allow you to download them [another reason I'm returning this thing.] You need to sideload the apks.
even if you went with the KF, your stuck with 8GB without expansion....worse screen, more fragile, etc

Actually, I sideloaded those apks before I rooted, and they wouldn't work once I'd rooted. I went into the Market and replaced them with the Market versions and they work just fine.
@Torrential91
Did you lift the Twitter .apk from a rooted device and if so...what directory was it hiding in?
I spent 45 minutes this morning looking in my old Hero and couldn't find it. I came here to to get the treasure map and you have just delivered the treasure.
Thanks!
any idea where the Google+ .apk might be?

This time around I'm using the Snowball root.
Yeah, snowball-mod has some issues with Facebook and the XDA app... I'm looking into it now.
Hi,
I downloaded the apk via your link above from the browser on my rooted NT (basic root using Indirect's latest instructions), and the download completed. But when I select it (to install it) my Nook says "Cannot open file."
Any ideas?

Do not use the built-in file explorer. It was designed to prevent people from sideloading applications. Check out "ES File Explorer".
