Color Nook Color: Suggested Apps For Your Rooted NOOKcolor - Page 14

iandix · 12-12-2010, 01:17 AM

I'm really upset with all of you people. I kept telling myself "no the nook you have is fine, you don't need any more new toys" .

..But you all kept post these comments and reviews, so I'm now placing a order (via a forwarder) for a nookcolour ...

I have one of these

this little toy gives me a wi-fi connection to a 3g internet connection. I use it for my laptop and e-ink nook when I'm travelling to work. I hope it works with the nookcolour then I can have 3g internet access ..no need to find a wi-fi hotspot when I'm out an about.

Ok I must be really stupid. I think I have rooted my Nook Color but I have no idea what to do to install the apps. Do I have to go into SDK? How do I do this?

Now that location services is working we can install Applanet. It's an app store that will allow you to install directly on the NC.

http://www.applanet.net/applanet/

In order to download the Applanet .apk you need to join the forum and verify your email address. Then you'll be able to download and install the app market on the NC.

You won't have to hunt and peck for .apk files on Google as much.

You are aware that applanet is a warez site?

Follow the directions for "adb install," and then install a file manager like Astro or Estrong.

Then, follow this to allow you to install direct to the device:

Once you have a file manager installed, you can put the apps (.apk files) on your micro sd card, and then install them from there (click the app and select install).

I downloaded and installed AppPlanet. However, when I try to upgrade or install an app through it directly on the NC, I get a message that says "Install Blocked. Installation of download apks is not supported."

Any idea what is causing this?

Never mind: I found the answer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9533117

Thank you! That helped me fix mine as well. Funny how I missed that in my search.

Now, strangely, when I try to use applanet, it just hangs on "loading" message. I was able to download an app using Dolphin and install it though.

I think you have to let AppPlanet re-download the list of apps again. I just let it run on the Applications page and eventually they showed up.

I think I give up, I've been trying to root this thing for two days. I feel like a idiot. I think the first part with the SD went through.. But the ADB part I don't get. I do these steps..
Mac OS X
sudo nano ~/.bash_profile (type this, it asks for password, I put it in and it takes me to a blank Terminal - bash screen.) hit enter

export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/platform-tools (I change <your_sdk_dir> to <android-sdk-mac_86>/platform-tools. (I'm a little confused about platform-tools because I have a folder called platform and one called tools but I don't have one called platform-tools. I don't know if that matters but I've tried with the other two folders also.) Hit Enter

source ~/.bash_profile (Hit enter)
Both
Ensure that your rooted NOOKcolor is plugged in.
Run the following command in terminal:
sudo sh -c "mkdir -p ~/.android; echo 0x2080 > ~/.android/adb_usb.ini; adb kill-server; adb devices" (I haven't made changes to this line, wasn't sure if I needed to, but I hit enter and I don't get anything. No message telling me its failed or what.)

Can someone take pity on me and help me out? I'm using Mac. Unfortunately I'm new to Mac and a lot of these guides assume you know what they mean. Like I was reading one guide that not once say use Terminal, it just assumed the users know. Maybe the first half with the Micro card failed but I can't figure out how to tell that either and I know longer have my machine to check using those steps.

help? -sniffs-

What's that?

Edit: Researched. Will place a disclaimer on the post that references Applanet.

Glad you guys/gals are assisting one another.

Note that the use and distribution of warez software is illegal. In contrast, shareware and freeware may be freely copied and distributed.

Recommendation is to download apps that are shareware and freeware.
