market weirdness

Greetings! Great Job! Thanks!

I am 1.2 manual rooted with .28... Have an SD card in, and have done the market visibility trick in the original post. Things are definitely visible in market. I can install things like astro file manager and appsinstaller, but I cannot install larger things like... Angry Birds ;-)

What might be causing this?

Thanks

Would also love to see a way to enable recent apps on long home press like I had in CM7. when I try to choose with some different launcher an option to run an app (if that is an option with home button binding like in ADW EX), selecting that desn't work....

If you have button savior, you can bring it up and long press on the home button. that will show recent apps. I believe it works that way for Soft Keys as well, but I prefer button savior.

Tried the solution in the OP - same (non) result as previous post. Could I ask again for an MD5 Hash for the ManualNooter file? I cannot get this to work at all.

I don't have an md5 but according to the nooter page
Here's the SHA1: c0b1d03216b47674cc01026234a7426cb080c1e8

The fix for visibility issue works fine if you follow it exactly. I've repeated this process several times while attempting to figure out the newer market issue.

The older market when there is not an SDCard in the device defaults to using the DOWNLOAD_CACHE BasePath which is broken causing /cache/downloadnull this also happens to be directly related to the Could not Verify apk issue as they appear at the same time (While with an sdcard inserted, Old Market doesn't use BasePath and the issue doesn't show up)

I'm completely lost.
in manualnooter 4-4-28 Vending.apk is 1.82 (size 628173) - and I think this is old one. This version does not work with or without SDCARD.
And I find another versions:
Vending.apk 2.2.7 (size 2073K)
Vending.apk 2.2.11 (size 1841K)

So, please say me in plain english, what version of Vending.apk is working, and where I can get it.
P.S. What is right way to change apk? Just copy them to /system/app folder and reboot?
Thank you.

Thanks, I'll give it a try - my other solution is to try a complete wipe back to 1.01, then reinstall 1.2 and go from there. I'll let you know.

Yes! Just put it back in /system/app and installed some game from Market (SD card inserted). But at this moment I do not see a full Market. I'm afraid, what procedure for Market fix (page one) will broke Market installation capabilities. Anyway, now I will repeat literally this procedure and report what happened.

P.S. I found what in /system/xbin was busybox, but no symlinks for all commands what do busybox binary. Is it known bug?

So, I can confirm, what Market (v.1.82) works with SD card.
And WITHOUT SD card Market broken.
This means, that we are unable to install from Market any Angry Birds app, since they does not installing WITH SD card.

Any ideas, how I can get back my favorite games?

I'm a bit lost as to why people are continuing this test... I reported this issue clear back on page 12, post #113 that the market was broken without the SD card inserted but yet there have been several posts since stating the exact same thing or asking that very question. Complete waste of space with multiple posts of this issue. This hack is far from complete and definitely not ready for final consumption. Its been less than a week since the official upgrade and the hack is already where it is so I'm not too sure why people are upset over things not working yet. Testing needs to be continued and it helps to get it done without having multiple posts regarding the same thing over and over again.

Onwards... it seems that a lot of apps that I've tested since yesterday fail to install if they are larger sized downloads. I'm able to get smaller sized apps to install without issue so far. Can anyone else confirm?

Thanks for the MN, guys! Installed it, did the market fix in OP... so it is mostly working right now. I hope the remaining issues will be resolved, but as my favourite apps seem to work without a glitch, I can wait.

Didn't try installing angry birds from market, but adb installing them went without a problem. If I can download an app to my Milestone, I can get it to my nook.

To get things like Angry Birds to install you must do the following:

Download/Install from market (This will fail regardless in separate ways)
Pop out SDCard.
Using a file Manager navigate to /cache/downloadnull and install the app with the angry birds icon.
This will install it.

This issue isn't a market issue, it's obviously an issue with B&N's modifications to the system as it does the same thing when you try to install from B&N's market according B&N Forums.

Because this must be written on FIRST page, but not on page 12, which I miss at this time (it is night here right now...) So, sorry for several posts.

About apps failed to install. Define smaller and larger. Without some digits this is not a good looking discussion.
Angry Birds is definitely larger then 10MB, right? So, is there some app what is same size as AB to test?

I just tested NinJump (no idea) at 7.78 MB and it worked fine for me.

There is /cache folder, but no /cache/downloadnull folder. I use ASTRO file manager to look into /cache, and show hidden files was ON.

Well, after continued testing it seems that file size isn't the issue as first thought. I've successfully downloaded/installed the 12.59MB Opera Mobile Web Browser to my NC now.... back to more testing.

There is /cache folder, but no /cache/downloadnull folder. I use ASTRO file manager to look into /cache, and show hidden files was ON.

It doesn't appear in Astro File Manager. I've opened the /cache folder in both Astro File Manager and Root Explorer and the subfolders are displayed in Root Explorer but not in Astro File Manager. Additionally, I've attempted to do the Angry Birds install as suggested as well as other programs but no-go. As well, I've found that the /cache/downloadnull folder doesn't always have the file that was just downloaded. A lot of the times, that folder is simply empty.

    • Before you begin:
      • To update to 1.2 you must do a complete wipe.
      • You must update to 1.2 to use ManualNooter Instructions Here.
      1. You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
      2. You must have a Google Account, for Gmail, Market, Etc. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
      3. CWM Bootable from SD Card: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987735 - You should always use the Latest CWM Version
        • OR emmc CWM Recovery Installed
      4. You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
    • 1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.
    • Let's get started:
      • If you're running a previous MN you do not need to do a complete wipe.
      1. Download ManualNooter from here:
        ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip - 1.3 Only
        ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip
      2. Copy onto your flashable CWM SD card using Windows Explorer, OS X Finder, etc.
        • See step 3 above for how to make a flashable CWM card.
        • DO NOT extract the zip file. It MUST be left as-is.
        • DO NOT copy the zip file into a folder. Leave it at the top directory of your card
      3. Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
      4. Turn off your NookColor (If turned on.)
      5. Insert Flashable CWM SDcard with ManulNooter into your NOOKcolor.
      6. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
        • If using Flashable CWM SDCard this should boot you into recovery.
        • If using eMMC CWM Recovery instead of SD CWM Recovery, boot to recovery.
      7. When CWM boots select the update using your Volume Keys and n button:
        • - install zip from sdcard (Volume up 4 times, then n)
        • - choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)
        • - manualnooter-4-x-x.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)
          • 1.3 needs to run 4.5.18 before 4.6.16
        • - Confirm that you really want to run the update.
          • Selecting this indicates that you take responsibility for your own actions.
      8. Wait patiently and follow onscreen directions.
        • If you get "Install Failed" after rebooting out of CWM this can be normal. Just reboot again.
      9. After reboot and unlocking your device select Zeam Launcher.
      10. Run Fix Permissions from Rom Manager - 1.3 Only after running 4.6.16
      11. Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service/Sign In.
        • If you get a full application list, you're done!
        • You may not have to Accept Terms and Service or Sign In if you're updating from a previous MN version.
        • If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted.
      12. Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
        • If you want to revert your card to a "usable" state.
      13. Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
      14. This will wipe your SDCard of all MN/CWM Flashable abilities. If you use this you will have to reflash the SDCard for future MN releases.

    • Complete Wipe:
      1. 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
      2. Factory Reset > Wipes /data
        • This will not work if you're using emmc Clockwork Mod Recovery
        • You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.

    From now on if your having an issue here's the format that needs to be used:

    • Rooted with: ManualNooter 4.x.x
    • Kernel:
    • Additional Mods (includes wifi adhoc, etc):

    Then list the problem you're having. The faster we have information about your setup the faster someone can see about helping.


    There's an entire two file change in 4.5.18 from 4.5.6 if your Wifi Adhoc w/e worked on 4.5.6 but doesn't on the update means something else is going wrong, perhaps some settings got changed around the same time you updated. Otherwise if you could use ADB or something to logcat when you try to connect perhaps someone can actually look into it.


    Also all update fixes for market are in the last two versions of MN. IF you're not using at least 4.5.6 then don't ***** when you get "Download Unsuccessful" also don't ***** if you get "Unknown Reason -18" because you decided the OP was too long for your liking and you just couldn't stand to read through it all, there is a current work around for Unknown Reason -18 and I'm currently watching the Kernel that fixes this to make sure it's stable enough for MN release. This will address all market issues with the old market.

    Until someone can find out why the signature checking for 1.2 and Gapps is apparently so strict and or a way to work around it there's NOTHING that can be done to get Newer Market working all nice and perfect (without FCs and such) along with Network Location or Calendar syncing, short of grabbing sets of apps and trying them and hoping like hell you find a set that works.


    Kids Books issues are addressed with 4.5.18 so if you're not using at least 4.5.18 I don't want to hear *****ing from this post on about how they're broken. They were broken the entire time in MN and it was just brought up as soon as I got a replacement SD Card and reader I immediately released an update for MN that addressed this problem.

    For those with missing apps in market this did the trick for me:

    STEPS:

    1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.
    Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account
    2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.
    3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.
    Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications
    4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.
    5) Select the Applications option
    6) Select the Manage applications option
    7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.
    8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.
    9) Tap on the Clear cache option button
    10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!
    11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.
    12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.
    13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.
    13) Tap on the Force close button now.
    14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.
    15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.
    16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
    This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.
    17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.
    18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing! :D

    I found this solution on a forum called gadgetsandtablets

    Can some people give this updated version a try? Just install this after a fresh upgrade to 1.4.1, no need to install any prier version. I can’t possible test everything out, so I need people to report back with any problems that they run into.

    * This does include the program HomeCatcher.
    * It includes my flashplayer fix, so you should not run into any problems updating adobe flash or air.
    * This will install android market v. 2.12, but will then upgrade to the current one.
    * On first boot, make sure you select the zeam launcher as default.
    * This does NOT have the added kernel file.
    * Don’t consider this a released version.

    I came across something that was missing in the last file, live wallpapers were overlooked, and I did not find that out until tonight. Here is a link for that updated version, I also went ahead and pulled the updated superuser file, and put it into this version. No real need to update from the last one unless you would like to have live wallpapers.

    LINK

    Also, another issue that I would be interested in finding out
    *The individuals that in past could not load MN 4.6.16 because of bootloops, and were stuck with 4.5.18, if this version works correctly?
