Hey guys, so one of the biggest things I really want on my NT is GameBoid, the Android GBA emulator. I'm still pre-rooted because I don't want to mess up my NT on accident, so I'm patiently waiting for a step by step guide for noobs such as I on either YouTube or XDA to appear.
All of my attempts to get GameBoid to work as desired have failed. I have been able to install it, and have it recognize the gba_bios.bin that is needed for it to function, but after selecting the ROM I'd like to play, it shows a screen for a split second, and then quickly quits.
ZdBox says it still runs in the background, and it'll continue to do that until I uninstall GameBoid.
So I was wondering if anybody who has rooted has gotten it to work (or anybody not rooted for that matter), this is my first Android device so I have really no clue what I'm doing.
Thanks
It works for me. Make sure to use version 2.4.7: http://www.4shared.com/get/85dFUVSY/GameBoid_v247.html
Thanks, works like a charm!
Worked for me too! thanks a bunch
Can I ask how did you guys install the Gameboid to your Nook tab? This is the first time I am going to try Gameboid. Thanks for the help.

Get on your tablet and come to this Page. Download the file through the link posted above. Once downloaded, open it. In the prompt / pop-up, select package installer. As far as the gba bios bin file, you can find that with a quick google search. Just download it and when you open Gameboid, it'll ask you for the file. Then you just browse to the file and you should be all set.

Hi.. I have tried installing Worms by EA Games. It downloads and installs right, but then it tries to download files to update the game, and then breaks.. I tried another EA Game (FIFA 2010) and the same happens..
Has anybody been able to install any EA Games successfully from the Market?
Thanks!

I couldn't get FIFA to work using this method, although Worms works just fine. FIFA always crashes back to the launcher upon start...
Got FIFA to work, you need to install the apk instead of just moving it to system/apps. Or at least that's what I did to end the crash at start problem.

Could you please detail the procedure you followed to get fifa to work? I get the message of "unsupported device" when I start it. I tried downloading it to my G1, but it gives me the same message!
Thanks!
I tried the above method for the Sims. It did not work. The game runs upside down and everything in the game is white except for the menus.

Now I realized that it installs, but the problem is when trying to download the extra 40 MB of content, it won't let me.. Is there any way you could upload the extra data somewhere?
The extra stuff should be either in sdcard/android/data/Com.eamobile.fifa/files or /data/data/com.eamobile.fifa/files
I'll try when I get home, my work blocks all of the filesharing sites, what's a good free one to host it to? Or I could just rar it in ~10mb chunks and email it to you, whichever is easiest.

I installed the files, but it keeps asking to download when FIFA is started. Also, I tried finding the .apk for the game, and I can't locate it anywhere!
Stock v.1.0.1, I can try to get you the apk when I get home.
ANNOUNCING PERMA-TEMP ROOT + HULU FIX!!!!
I've taken the excellent existing information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159354 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054&page=46
See the first link for instructions, etc. Basically just plug your phone into your PC, make sure USB debugging is on, using your phone as charge only, and that HTC Sync isn't running. Then open up the attached zip and run Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT + HULU FIX. OH, and I'm not sure if it matters, but have the latest Adobe Flash player installed on your phone before you start (10.3.185.25)
That's it! Your phone should be rooted AND HULU-ready until you reboot.
WHAT I DID: All I did was add a few commands that will delete your lib file from com.adobe.flashplayer, then install a different .lib file with correct permissions. Now, when you go browse Hulu with your stock browser or Dolphin (making sure your settings are set to disable mobile browsing, or set as DESKTOP VIEW, etc), Hulu won't recognize your phone as non-desktop, and you'll be free to watch Hulu all you want!
[Please note: this is my first time doing anything like this, as in first time ever creating a .bat file or doing anything with adb beyond the very basics; please bear that in mind when ripping me apart for being a noob ]
If this was helpful, please let me know with a thanks!
EDIT: Thanks to abe_ahmed09 for reminding me this works with stock browser too!
Unable to test this right now due to no PC access. But dude, no one should rip you apart, you are trying to help the community and I commend you do doing things that a lot of others do not have the ability to do.

Thanks man that's nice of you to say! I really enjoy XDA because (if I'm diligent) I can learn little by little, ask a few questions here and there, and look back and realize I've made a decent amount of progress!
works great! tried it without updating Flash and that was a no go, but once I updated it works perfectly!
Thanks to you and all of the devs out there for all of their hard work these past couple of weeks!

very nice work! thanks for this.
SWEET!
Glad it's working! I'll add emphasis to the fact that you need the latest version of flash for it to work.
Here's a question: are there any other programs out there that have to be tweaked AFTER root in order to work? What I mean is, right now I've got 10 or 20 root apps that work flawlessly after I root. But if there are good apps out there that require additional tweaking after root, perhaps we could incorporate that into the .bat as well

Should be--I just tried and it was fine.
Worst-case scenario, reboot phone and then run it! Either way, because of the nature of temp-root, it's all pretty "SAFE" at this point

Oh hell no! Just use the free Dolphin Browser from the market, then go to settings and choose "Desktop" so that websites think you're browsing from a PC/Mac. When you get to HULU, depending on your settings, you may need to click the green arrow to watch the video.
Works in Full Screen too!!
...of course, if you're talking about Hulu-plus-only videos---then yes, you'd of course need Plus to view those videos just as you would elsewhere.
EDIT: Reading over your comment again I guess I need to clarify further: nothing here is "ad supported" because there are no apps, etc that I've provided. ALL MY HULU FIX DOES IS SWAP OUT A FILE IN YOUR ADOBE APP FOLDER THAT TRICKS HULU INTO THINKING YOU'RE A COMPUTER. But note that you'll still need a BROWSER that enables you to browse like a computer.
Were these points unclear to anyone else?
Works after updating flash to 10.3.

So just to be safe I rebooted my phone, to lose root, and ran your .bat script. After i ran the script I opened up terminal and type in "su" and is said permission denied. So I didnt have root, i ended up using one of the other .bat script from the forums and running your .bat script after. Everything worked like a charm after that thanks for putting this together. =] Great job

Awesome, Great to hear it! Ya, not sure why the root method in my OP isn't working for you...different people have posted different results with the same root method! Anyway glad it's working, and as you discovered, there should be no problem running this on a rooted phone
Now I've tweaked it further so it'll overclock your phone to 1.8 GHz! I might make a new thread for that...
Root is working but hulu does show up and starts to play then I get a message telling me its not supported on this platform. I updated flash and mobile mode has been disabled.

I'm trying to listen to my favorite radio station from my childhood, but can only get them on Radio.com. If I listen in the browser window, I can't do anything else on my Nook, as the music stops when I leave the browser window.
Radio.com is available for free in the Market, but Nook Tablets aren't compatible. Does anyone have an APK I could sideload?
Thanks!
10 minutes on Google etc. yielded this link. http://www.umnet.com/download-software/15939-Radiocom_v10_Free
Thanks! I spent quite a bit of time on Google last night, looking for this, and was only able to find it on FirstLoad, but they wanted my credit card information to download it.
Pls let us know if it installs and performs to your liking.
It installed fine and runs, but stops playing after a little while. Not sure yet if it's a connection issue or an app issue. I'm using my wifi at work, which isn't always reliable. I'll know better when I try to use it at home.
I'll update this weekend.
UPDATE: So, I'm thinking it's definitely a connection issue, as it's been playing now for a couple of hours with no hiccups. I'm pleased, because I'd read really horrible things about it. As it's the only game in town for listening to WCBS-FM in NYC, though (and I'm in Albany), I had to try it. Glad I did. Thanks again!
UPDATE 2: 4:00 PM, and still going strong. Awesome!

Thanks, that took care of it. I transfered to the SD card and installed with Root Explorer (which I use to browse eventhough my NT isn't rooted). When I view files this way, I'm given the option to install. Looking at it through the NT My Files doesn't give an install option.
I got it installed and all it does is force close. 1.4.0 rooted.
Using Tune In Radio and it works well.

Did you reboot?
You can also try side loading an older version of the app. I'm sure you can find one on the interwebs...
Yep. Tried turning off and on again. No joy.
No offence want the latest version as it has the most recent levels.
Anyone else got any ideas please?

I am not specifically familiar with the app/game/program that you are referring to, so if what I am about to suggest turns out to be complete rubbish, please feel free to ignore it completely. Here goes anyway, just in case it might turn out to somehow be useful !!
I sideloaded Better Terminal Emulator (a GREAT app & also one of my most favorite root-aware apps !!). Whenever I would start it up, it would run just fine, as long as I did *not* attempt to open the KFHDX keyboard. As soon as the built-in keyboard was activated, BTE would immediately crash & close. As you might guess, any terminal emulator program is basically worthless without keyboard input !! However (so this is where you might want to try the same thing, if "keyboard" applies in your specific case), when I use an external BT keyboard, BTE continues to run as great as it always has . . . problem averted !! [ now if I could just get my root access back with the latest formware ]
HTH !!
Good luck & have fun !!

With stock AMZ FW, you can also run into issues with some apps that use any DL service other than AMZ. Which is why many paid Play Store apps will force close, like GTA SA, which will fail to open or crash unless you use the KF version.

So I downloaded the app to my phone for you, then zipped it and uploaded to my Dropbox account. There are 2 zips, one was for the folder found in /data/app:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/com.anki.drive-1.zip
one in /data/data
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/com.anki.drive.zip
The apk itself is in the 1st zip. I am not sure if just installing that will put the rest of the stuff where it is needed. If not, then put the unzipped folders into their respective places and reboot and should be fine.
You sir are a gentlemen and a scholar! thanks very much!
