I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.
Running nightlie #95 and dal oc [email protected] 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.
Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...

In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.
I found this app on another forum. It's nice because they post a handful of premium apps you can legally get for free.
GetJar
I came across it in my search to find a way to browse Rootzwiki w/o going through my browser. Rootzwiki now wants you to pay for their app and I don't want to spend even just a few dollars for the one thread I'm temporarily watching. Anyways, someone posted that you can get Tapatalk for free through GetJar. Many of you are already using Tapatalk but for those that don't know it allows you to browse and favorite hundreds of various forums. I never had the need for TappaTalk before and would have gotten it, but it's nice now that I could find it for free.
So through your phone's browser, you need to go to the http://www.getjar.com. Download their .apk and install.
Anyways, Beautiful Widgets is also on there for free and you can browse some of the other premium apps they'll find and post.
Nice find. Will head over there and check it out.

I snagged a few of the Gold apps a week or so back, including Tapatalk, and haven't had any issues with any of them. About once a month, I tend to install their market, check to see if they've added any good ones, then uninstall the market again. Unlike Amazon, you don't have to have it installed to have the apps.
Very nice find I payed for a few of these paid apps lol thanks.

Not if you are downloading free ones. Nothing to crack. You can find old versions of apps if you don't like the update in market. Sometimes updated get rid of exploits

Does this app register the downloads with the Android Market? Or is this app similar to the Amazon App that gives away apps for free each day but in order to re-download them you have to have their app installed.

They don't. GetJar has their own market, so any updating would need to be done through it.

For the record, I was referring to GetJar, which is legal. I don't condone the use of illegal apps, via 4shared/wherever.
It wasn't aimed at you or anyone really, I just kept seeing it mentioned. No worries.

With the getjar, I heard people started having ads popping up when it was installed. Is this true? Is that why people install it to get the app then uninstall it?
BTW, even though they are free (I see things like Fruit Ninja FREE, etc), are these still add-supported apps? Or, is the free Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds add-free?
Thanks!
Maybe that's how they support putting paid apps for free on their website. The adds pay for the apps.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I will say that I've had ONE ad randomly appear in my notification bar (saying I'd won an iPhone/iPad/etc), but a friend (on a different network, on a different, non-rooted/modified phone) that I know for a fact has no apps from Get Jar installed got the same thing an hour or two before me (he even called to ask me about it, since I'm his "android guy" lol). Still not sure what caused that.

Hey everyone, I have been creating a list of apks for a personal aroma app installer for myself. I'm sure most of you know about this but I haven't seen it around here. Since I have a decent list of apps already, I'm offering to share it if enough people want it. I will take app requests as well to add to it. I just wanted to get an idea if people want it before I ask permission from the creators to use it. I would like to give a little something back to the community even though it's nothing difficult or spectacular.
Let me know if it's good or a waste before someone starts flaming me lol.

I've been thinking about this question, but I think I know the answer. If people submit apps, they will need to be free apps, because most paid apps don't have advanced enough license checks to prevent users from side loading them without them having purchased the license in the play store.
So am I correct to assume that the aroma installer you publish will be with free apps only?
Right off the top of my head, titanium backup and kernel tuner come to mind and nice freebies, android tuner free is another good one if you like it better.
Absolutely, only free apps. I know some obtain paid versions without paying but I will not be doing that since I do not want to cause problems for xda, myself, or others. I would be including apps such as internet browser, sms, root tools, social apps, tools, etc. Several of the more popular options for each

You can create an update.zip of TB from the settings and it places a flashable zip on your sd to flash in recovery. But it will definitely be in the package anyway. Was the first one I added.

Like I mentioned in the previous post, I won't include paid apps for obvious reasons but es file explorer and astro will be in there. I will add solid as well.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Just to be clear, I did mean that you could include the trial, and then users could restore or re-download the key (although I'm not entirely sure that that will work - I know that for Fancy Widgets, I have to download both the app and the key from the store unless I restore my previous Android ID, but it works fine to restore Apex and its key, and Titanium stores its license on the SD card, so I never have to install the key at all).
Although many paid apps are readily available for free, I don't see why anyone should avoid paying an extremely modest sum to help the developers maintain their devices and services and hence their apps.
Ya I know. I will add the trial version like you mentioned. And I agree. I used to get all the paid apps for free but I guess I grew up and realized I should help support them. They are so cheap to buy anyway.

You could create an empty folder for people to put their own paid apps in. Aroma does not care if the folder is empty. Just call it paid with /data/app in it.
You could also create another folder for people to drop their apps in it that you did not include.
Just don't pre select them in the menu

No I meant without the need of root access. Titanium Backup without the root access is what I'm talking about. Not every user understands rooting. I'm talking about a simple app with a click of a button just like iCloud.
But I'm guessing save datas are stored in a rooting access required location am I right? If thats the case, then only Google can come up with something.
if you are still accepting ideas..
have you seen the google glass' video that says how it feels like to wear google glass?
try making something based on that model, like the camera viewfinder is our eye and we say to give commands. Let's say we speak "what's the weather" and it shows the weather in viewfinder just like it is shown in video. other features can also be implemented.
Why on earth did Google not make Hangouts available for download on either Nexus tablets? It's their own product, and we have to wait to try out the new service? Pretty poor to be honest.
I sideloaded it just fine after grabbing the APK from another device. Works without issue. Still odd like you say though.
Maybe they are using a gradual rollout for various devices. It is odd that it wouldn't be available for tablets, especially their own.

Works fine on my Nexus 10 tab. It did not ask for phone number during initial setup.
I also don't have it on my N10 play store.
And if I connect to play store through my pc, it shows that Hangouts is not supported for Nexus 10.
Very strange.

This is the exact reason as announced already on play store description. Either grab the apk from another device or wait some days.
Btw it's working perfectly on n10 (and probably other tablets) already. They just roll out the app later for some devices. Can't tell you why though

We are rolling out hangouts to everyone over the course of several days [...] tablets included.
I've just installed it in my nexus 4 & 10 from Google Play without problems (Spain).
It's now available through the play store in the UK however you have to root uninstall talk first otherwise it won't install.
