How do I use legacy mode

MIT App Inventor Help

I try and connect to http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu but it redirects me to https://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu

I am trying to get android 2.1 to work (just to see if it connects) but it says I need to update (last compatible version is 2.46) and it says I have to be on http but I can't. Do I use a different browser? how do I force http://?

Hmmm, sysreq page says 2.1 is supported?

Don't think you can load AppInventor with http:// now

Yes, it does say that it supports 2.1 but 2.77 wont install, only 2.46 (last version I found to actually do something)

We need to correct that page. We dropped support for Android < 4.0 last summer. The latest companion version to support Android 2.1-3.3 was 2.75, I believe.

How come that I can only install 2.46 and lower

I don't know. You can use adb logcat to get a specific error message.

Here is a link to the 2.75u companion.

Can you tell us more about your device?

Ok, yes I know this device is weird, but it is a rooted 2011 nook simple touch, running android 2.1
EDIT: I will try that apk.

It didn't install, I'll try it with adb
