(Note: I'm running CM7 on my Nook Tablet, the current public alpha release.)
I've been having a pretty bad day since I think I may have wasted my money on purchasing Plants vs. Zombies from the Android Market; it just won't run. I've let it install updates, but once I see that hourglass load screen it crashes and I'm back at my home screen; no force close messages, nothing.
Another strange problem is that now I can't re-download it from the Android Market on my Nook Tablet. I cleared the cache and wiped the data for my Market and for some reason that made it disappear from the market. When I browse the market on my PC, it now says that Plants vs. Zombies is incompatible with my Nook Tablet even though it said it was compatible when I installed it! WTF. I even re-flashed and I still can't get it from the market on my tablet now - I had to download it via my phone and use Titanium Backup to get it to my tablet.
Can anyone help me out with this? Between the game not working and the android market acting weird towards me, this is turning out to be a pretty annoying experience.

+1. The market website shows it to be compatible with my NT as well. There's multiple versions, though are you sure you're looking at the right one?

Yes, I purchased the one being sold by Electronic Arts Inc. on the Android Market.
This one:

I was able to re-install it with Titanium Backup anyway, but I can't get past the stupid load screen!
I've seen it before (with a drawing app ... can't quite remember the title) where the versions on the different app stores were different, and one worked and the other didn't. Sketchpad, I think. That may be the case here. Now that you've got it installed, can you clear data on it? And, do you have an SD card installed? I know there are some significant resources, and it may be hard-coded to look for an SD card.

Yes, and yes. I have an SD card in. I can clear data on it. I've tried clearing data on it. Doesn't make a difference. Still doesn't run.

Okay, I decided to request a refund and get the Amazon App Market version. Works like a charm! Thanks for the advice, guys. I'm glad that the Android Market at least has such swift customer service.

I live in Canada and the latest NOOK for Android apk is not available for us for download.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could back up their version and post a copy here.
Thanks.
Nothin?

I won't be at my computer until the evening tomorrow but then I'll see what I can do.

Does it even work outside the states? I would figure if you can't get it in market then you might have some login problems. I might be wrong though

It works once you've set up a B&N account.
Not sure but some books may not be available to people outside the US. So far I haven't had a problem.
I have relatives in the US who have Nook Color's and Touch's so I can share books from their libraries.
thanks for uploading this. Yes, it works outside US.
Even though the app is horrible, slow and featureless , it uses the same page number as my nook so its my only option to avoid the pain of figure out page numbers between devices.
Can anyone search in the store I can when I click the serch button nothing happens

Market Enabler?
Can't you just fake your provider to Verizon or something using Market Enabler and then find it in the Market? That's what I do.
giant_rider,
How did you manage to install the apk?
I copied it to an SD card and also copied it to an internal folder.
Both times when I tried to run it, I got a parse error.
Same thing happened with another ereader I attempted to run.
MickeyBear, I downloaded the file using Opera Mini and has the same file corruption problem. It works when I re-download on the desktop and uploaded to my Dropbox.
Does anyone have this issue with the newest version (3.0.1) of the Nook app crashing when you try to open a magazine or a book?
I'm running CM 7.1 Final.

It is working for me on CM7.2 RC0. I didn't have any problems while running CM 7.1 either.

I'm in the US and need it, too! With my stock rooted NOOKcolor 1.4.1, downloads don't work from the Market or BN.

Thanks! It downloaded and installed fine, but when I launch it, it just goes back to my home screen. Maybe it isn't intended to work on a stock rooted NOOK... Bummer! Thought it might be a way to get access to my BN subscriptions until the issues with downloads from BN Shop and Market are resolved. Oh, well! Thanks for the quick response!
Switching to Kindle for Android is perhaps the best solution if you want to buy e-books, but magazines like The New Yorker display great on the plain Nook with 1.4.1. I would buy some stuff from B&N, but if I can't install third party apps I prefer to go with another rom from SD and without the B&N reader for Android. Bye bye NOOK-Book-eBook-store...
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.

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.
I have almost everything working now on my rooted tablet with the GoLauncher.
After a lot of effort, I got the SlideIT keyboard installed and working.
But, The Nook Reader (from the Market) does not work. I can access a reader that works on my B&N books by going through Library, opening the book, and then using "Reader" to read it. But I can't find "Reader" in the app list to make a direct access to it on my GoLauncher desktop. Reader.apk is also in /system/app. Is it the Nook viewer? When I start that, it does nothing.
Similarly, QuickOffice_Viewer.apk is installed in /system/app, but I don't see it in my app list.
Is there a way to turn on wifi location services?
Also, in the Android Market, many many apps are listed as being incompatible with the Nook Tablet, even though they work on my Color Nook (albeit with CyanogenMod). For example, the free angry birds, which works perfectly on the NT when I moved it from my NC. And I had to get Evernote and LastPass from the B&N market.
Finally, the Nook Tablet suffers from the same anaemic maximum volume as the NC did. Nook Color Tweaks fixes the problem on my NC, but does not work on the NT. Does anyone know some other way to goose up the volume settings? The inbuilt controls are maximized.
Personally I havent found a way to get reader to work other than the way described by yourself.
As far as I know the "incompatible" apps thing is due to the ppi being 169 rather than a more common 160. Rather than changing it, I have just found it easier to copy things from one of my other android devices. Or you can see if the items in question are in the Amazon Appstore.
Currently the only way I know of to get the volume up is with a paid app...that I cant seem to recall the name of. If you search the forums for it I'm sure you'll find it.

Thats the app i was talking about, thought it was paid only. Guess I've been proven wrong on that front, which is a good thing .
The Android Market says Volume+ is not compatible with The NT. I installed it my NC, but I can't find where the apk is installed, to grab it.
What is it called, and where is it installed to?
Thanks

I got my to download just fine. Of course, I've changed my build prop.

i bought it a little bit ago for my tp and it went fine. i've not had any problems with the .10c apps downloading, tbh.
I have the default alpha3 build.prop and it installs fine.
All you have to do is purchase it from another android device and then go to the TP's market app and go to "my apps", then go download at the end of the list and find "Not Installed" purchased apps. HD Widgets should be there.

i don't have another android device... and i also don't see HD Widgets at amazon or i'd just get it there and do it that way...
HD Widgets show up fine on my 16 using cm7 a3. Doesn't show on my 32 running xron. I'm assuming build.prop difference.

Anyone know how to get the tablet Widgets to show up. This pics show some nice big Widgets which are absent from my unit. Thinking it is because they think i am on a phone and not a tanlet

I dont remember seeing tablet widgets in their android market screenshots but if they exist and are tablet-only widgets you will have to wait for ICS. Currently our Touchpad run a phone version of android and so cant run anything that uses tablet APIs (Honeycomb and ICS can run these).
I rooted my NT a couple of weeks ago using Indirect's method, I also did the OTA block. I've thought about re-rooting to delete the bloatware, but still want to be able to access the B&N store as I do like to read and to be able to purchase more e-books. I tried installing the lastest NOOK for Android by B&N app from the Android Market, but it won't open - I see the icon in my launcher, but nothing happens when I touch it. Anybody have any thoughts?
Had no problems doing this with my NC w/ CM7 - hoping that somebody figures that out soon for the NT
Thanks ~ G
You don't need the Nook for Android app, as the stock reader/store does the same thing.
I'm also fairly certain that the nook app itself doesn't work (probably by design) on the NT, since you have the default reader/store.

Yup. Found out the hard way myself. Just uninstall and hit the N button when you want to use the Nook app.

I tried to install the Nook app and it doesn't work for me either.
Blocking the update broke my B&N store. I used the method that said the store will not be affected. I was already a customer at the B&N store and wanted to continue to buy things, but B&N is making this way too difficult.
I too have the same problem. After rooting and preventing updates, I am unable to connect to B&N. Anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem?
