Please post how you installed them (& links to where they are), because you can't install a bunch of these through the Android Market yet

I've installed:
->CF-Bench (beating SGSII when TP is overclocked to 1.4GHz, woo hoo)
->PowerAMP 2.0 Beta (minor graphical glitches)
->ArchiDroid
->SetCPU
->GameBoid
All in (mostly) perfectly working order.

I flashed gapps after installing CM7 through CWM recovery, and installed all apps below via Market. No issues for me at all with the market except for apps like Facebook. There's a fix for missing apps in the market. Just flash the zip in cwm recovery.
Issue detailed here.

Got some more I have to test out, but these work for sure.
I was able to side-load a Facebook apk, but it FC's as soon as I try to open it. Did you guys that have it working do anything special?
Edit: I uninstalled Facebook and reinstalled it after fixing the market, and it worked. However, if I reboot the tablet, it starts FCing again. I have to install it and install it again for it to work. Weird.

Has anybody tried the Wii Mote app? Does the Wii Mote work?

Just so everyone knows, in case you haven't tried it, you can install apps from your phone by using Titanium Backup (Not sure if it's been mentioned already)...
- Backup using TB on your phone
- Copy TB folder from phone to Touchpad storage (Via PC/Mac)
- Restore using TB on Touchpad

INSTALL GAPPS PAK AND MARKETPLACE FIX FIRST (In Android Thread)
Apps I have working.
All google APPS Including navigator with BT tethered from my Atrix EDIT: BT No longer works after restarts and unpair/re-pair...
everything else seems fine..
EDIT:
Market
Zenonia 3
Destinia
PSX4Droid (runs but my BIN/ECM wont work. They work on my atrix so probably just not compatible yet..)
MKV movies
Facebook (crashes after first use)
Angry Birds
MIUMeet
Hanging With Friends
Words With Friends
SNESoid
SCUMMVM (Nightly build only) ENABLE MIDI CheckBox for TOUCHPAD MODE (Much better than the initial control scheme)
Quest for Glory 1-3
Space Quest 1-5
LANDS OF LORE CD (Talky version) (I DUNNO ABOUT YOU BUT THIS IS AWESOME!!!)
MOBO PLAYER(movies play better)
I plan to add tons more apps tomorrow. Ill make a new post. just wanted to edit this one with updates.

I installed genial writing it works awrsome

Are all of you getting Facebook to work normally. After I install and use it, I then back out of it to close it. When I open it again, it keeps force closing. Only solution is to uninstall and reinstall. But I have to do that every time I wanna use the app. I'm sticking to the website for now.
Also, the XDA app keeps force closing on me when I try to open any thread.

Six axis is compatible!

For Facebook Install fake GPS and set your location and then will work without problems... OMG NOVA 2 works (first of many Gameloft games that i tried)

I've noticed that few of you have installed the Amazon app store. i got it to install, but for some reason, I can't sign in. I can sign in fine on the Amazon website, but not the app. Is there some authentication issues with cm7? anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Did you try my app Task Changer PRO? it works perfectly. Perfect for cm7.

Tweetdeck works

In order to get Facebook working you have to install the app "fake GPS" from the Market and set a faked GPS location.
After i did this Facebook works fine for me.

Too remove non working apps you can either use adb and delete the apk file, or install a file manager like Astro. It has an application manager than can remove apps. If you wipe the device you lose all the apps you've installed working or not, plus any thing you've stored on the internal memory, and you'll have to reroot.

Firefox mobile (fennec). IMHO a big improvement over the stock browser (pinch to zoom etc)
I'll try this... is this functionally equivalent to "rm /mnt/app/<apk> -rf" do the same thing? I have been installing using the scp method.
Will install adb and android kit tonight.
Also, has anyone tried to reinstall an apk after doing the rm uninstall? Might that be why some of my apps that worked are now broken?

3 more for the working pile
Evernote
DiskUsage
Google Sky Map (partial usage, can't access the menu so you can only mess with the onscreen options)
And one maybe working. I've got Cyanogen on my phone, so I copied the superuser.apk off and was able to install it on the nook. It will start with no errors, but so far nothing has asked me for su access so I don't know if it's actually doing anything.
Also, how are you guys getting the apks to install? I haven't had much luck finding some of them online, so I've been using my phone. Right now this is my process:
1. Install app from market on phone.
2. Backup app using Astro.
3. Upload backup to Dropbox
4. Download from Dropbox on nook

It froze at the end of setup, but after a re-start it's syncing and appears to work for the most part. I can't get it to play voice-mails though.
Fruit Ninja works, you just have to hit back when Feint tries to load. Although it only worked after changing the sqlite3 database to allow unknown sources installs

List of *Non-working* Sideloaded Apps

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,

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?

Gameloft Games

Hey guys, is there a way to make Gameloft games, like NOVA 2 and Asphalt 6 work on GS2? I'm just first turned on my new phone, entered the market thinking that I would play high end games I couldn't in my Xperia x10, and I discover that Gameloft games aren't there
You can try using Stock Build.prop to maximise market content.. If there's still stuff missing Market Enabler (free in app store) will let you change country/carrier. If it's Tegra2 games you're after Chainfire3d can duplicate that.

But will this allow me to get games? Does it bypass the market restriction? I ask this because I'm not in favor of pirating games...
Can you teach me how to do those things?
Download Chainfire3d from the market, the search for Nvidia drivers for Chainfire on google, copy them to your phone. install, select the Tegra driver (easy enough to find instructions on Google), then search nova 2 on marketplace, if it allows you to buy and install then you're all good.
Asphalt 6 and nova2 work without the need for chainfire.. you just need to dl them from gamelofts own store.. just google gameloft and you should find them.

Use samsung games hub or gamesloft websight as said above.
Can't it be the market version? You know, I love the easy updates, etc...
I got nova 2 hd from the market, no problems. I am in the uk though, so you may have to use market enabler if it's not showing up.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
don't worry about the updates. all gameloft hd games have builtin in-app update functions and regularly check for newer versions.
Issues I have with Gameloft games is.
this is the biggest, load times especially if you pause them and go to homescreen to check a text message or something, then immediately hold down the middle button to return to the game, they take forever to start up again, upto a minute, why on earth is this, on my old Iphone they would resume instantly. This phone is miles better spec inst it?
Also hardly any of them use the gyroscope and when they do its just not smooth enough compared yet again to a year old clunky fruity machine
just don't understand why
Yes, with the demo version I got, NOVA 2 takes a very long time to load...
Trying to set up the Chainfire3d thing to download the games through the market. I preffer it that way... having all apps on one place feels better.
---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------
Even after I put the market to the UK Version, installed Chainfire 3D and enabled nVidia Plugin I can't find the app on my phone and neither am I allowed to buy it from the desktops's browser ¬¬
But isn't it just a demo?

There's a fix released on the cmtouchpad google code page, but basically it's because the app has a flag that detects dpi and/or devices. so if it doesn't match up, it doesn't show up.
You can install Facebook and other apps with the APK file. For example, I ran titanium backup and copied the folder to my computer. I then decompressed the gz file containing the apk, copied it to my touchpad and used appinstaller to install it.
Adfree installs but cant edit the hosts file cause it cant mount rw the system partition, same for the Es file manager. Seems like the mount command isnt working

Order & Chaos works. I installed it from the Market and when it opened, it said my device wasn't compatible. So, I changed my build.prop to read Driod X and Motorola wherever HP or Touchpad was (backed it up first). Then I rebooted.
Once I opened it after reboot, it downloaded all 600MB of data and I logged in. It runs pretty good, but there is a little stutter here-and-there.

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?
Sent from my CM7 Nook Tablet
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

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.
