Can't install on Nook Color

Postby Recman » Tue Oct 18, 2011 1:13 pm

My Nook Color runs Android 2.3.3, in Market it says that my device ain't compatible with the application. How come? Same when I go to Android Market from my computer, I can then install it on my HTC Desire but not on the Nook.
I have noticed that other have it running on their Nooks.

Can the Eye-Fi people please look into this and remove any requirement that now not allow the Nook Color to get the Eye-Fi-app from Android Market?

I had the same problem. Google Eye-Fi apk from your Nook and then download the apk file. When you click the file (which should be in a folder named "downloads") it will install the app. However, I have not been able to get the Direct mode to work with my Nook. Let us know if you can get it to work.

Thanks for the answer nspeer! I did try to google the apk last night but all I found was an apk of only 517kB. Not near the 1.5MB as the file should be...if You have the latest version of apk or now where to find it...please let me know :)

Recman, if you cannot find the apk, I can send it to you. Just PM me your email address.

There are three requirements for the app; touchscreen, wifi, and os version 2.1u1 and above. I don't see any limits that should restrict you. Likely it is a restriction of the version of Market that you are running.

Doesnt make sense since the Nook Color has both touchscreen, wifi and Android 2.3.3...so...

I have finally found the "solution". After updating the ROM on my Nook Color with the latest stable-version of Cyanogen I can now install the Eye-Fi-app from Market!
So anyone else with the same problem, go to http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/nook-color and get started.

That's great, I heard they had a patch for some of the issues. Didn't know if they got it into a release.
