I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981167
but it's not for a nook color, however I thought it would work on any device. It fails to install properly on cm7. Is there a way to get back the stock launcher on a nook color?

So I have my nookcolor set up just the way I like it with CM7 7.0.2 and D's OC kernal.
It occurred to me that one of my favorite pastimes before I flashed CM7 was to play the original Crosswords that shipped with the nook. Short of reflashing back to stock, and risking an unintended (and unwanted) 'upgrade', and pulling the apk from that image, I no longer have the crosswords apk that shipped with the nookcolor.
Does anyone have that apk or a link to the file so I could put it on my nook? I've tried the other crosswords from the market, the B&N was the favorite.
Thanks
EDIT:
That's a big never mind. Found them in the right sub forum. duh.
1 can of egg remover, please.
looking for the same thing
hello, i'm looking for the same thing. I even tried to pull the original apk off of my nook color prior to rooting it and installing CM7 on it. But everytime I try to run the crossword apk it gives me an error. I'll let you know if I can figure this out.

Do you have a link to it? I'm kind of interested now. I searched in the Apps sub-forum but it didn't return anything.
I found the an old apk here : http://code.google.com/p/nookdevs/downloads/detail?name=nookCrossWord.apk&can=2&q=
Tried installing it on my NC 200 something nightly , but when It crashes when I try running it

How are you "installing" it?
You all know many of the original apps were customized for the stock Nook ROM....
I run it fine under CM7. I just grabbed the .apk from the stock ROM and installed it under CM7 a long time ago. Ever since then it just comes back from my Titanium Backup restore when I switch/upgrade ROMs. I don't feel comfortable posting the .apk here for legal reasons, but I did want to chime in that it works fine under CM7 and MIUI.
Shortyz crosswords is a great market alternative. It automatically downloads several national crosswords every day.
Using 7-zip, you can extract the crossword apk from one of the the original roms, and like the prev poster said, it installs and runs perfectly on cm7.

I downloaded the app, put it in my dropbox and downloaded it to the NC, then installed it.
got it
Thanks for the great replies everyone. I ended up going back to the stock ROM and then used the ManualNooter to root my device. Now I have both the capabilities of CM7 and the stock Nook Apps as well.
I still also have all my shelves and original ebooks installed and have access to everything on the market as well.
Thanks to GabrialDestruir for the great walkthrough

got it
i ended up going back to a CM7 to test this out. And after pulling the original Crossword.apk from the stock 1.3 ROM I was able to get it installed and running with no problems.
However, now that I have the latest nightly build of 214. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore&type=nightly
I am having boatloads of force close errors. Mainly on startup I am getting force closes on the google apps (gapps), google framework, and one of the apps i installed from the market as well. I am also unable to run the Facebook for Android app. I tried re-running the Set Permissions, and tried to clear the Davlik Cache as well.
Should I try one of the stable builds to fix these issues?
CM7.1 is out now try that

I may have made a huge mistake.
I just purchased a Nook Color version 1.2, and successfully rooted it using ManualNooter 4.5.2. Everything was working pretty much, and I didn't think to check, but went into ROM Mananger, downloaded CM Mod 7.0.2 I believe, and installed it.
It rebooted, installed, and now is stuck at the boot screen (where the word color is rainbow flashing).
No backup (yeah I know...)
Where should I go from here?
Is there a way to flash the Stock 1.2 via CMW? I can get to that screen, but I need a way to install a .zip that will work...
For now I am going to flash to 1.0.1. I can just upgrade over wifi to 1.2 and then re-root, correct?
Figured it out. Flashed to 1.0.1, and then upgraded to 1.2. Now to re-root again haha. What a process!
If you just want to play with CM7, you don't need to root. You can install to SD without touching the 1.2 installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
If you want a little simpler, step-by-step version of those instructions, google "anamardoll nook cm7."
The bootable SD you make can also flash CMW to your NC without rooting or otherwise disturbing the 1.2 install. Just make sure you get a suitable SD if you're planning to run CM7 off of it--this thread breaks down what to look for:

I was wondering what the fastest way to get just simple root on my Nook was. I don't need to flash rom's like Cyanogenmod/Phiremod to Nook internal memory; I'm fine with the vanilla stock Nook UI. I just want to be able to install my own apps and possibly get Market. I don't want to nuke what's currently on the Nook.
What's the simplest way to do this? I have stock software version 1.4.2

I installed manualnooter-4-5-18 with no problem. But when I install manualnooter-4-6-16 device gets stuck on colorful Nook Color logo show.
My version is 1.3.
I also need some advice:
1. Isn't it better to use cm-7.2.0-encore instead of original OS? I can't decide.
2. Shouldn't I update to more recent versions of nook software (higher than 1.3) then mod it?
Thank you for software and support

It depends on what you want.
If you are invested in the nook store with lots of purchased apps or want to read interactive kids books, stay with stock. If you stay with stock, upgrade to 1.4.3 (you can get a CWM flashable version by looking in my tips thread linked in my signature) and root with Manual Nooter. I think it is up to 5.08.20.
If you are not invested in stock, definitely go to CM7.2. It is smooth and very stable.

So I decided to go with CM7.2 but
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
says it only works with 1.2. I got the link to wiki from here.
And one technical question, does CM7.2 remove original Nook Color OS completely? If so why its version matters?

Yes, if you install CMx on EMMC it will replace B&N ROM on the device.
That is an old instruction... The reason that method only works with 1.2 is because they have you rooting it and installing CWM on EMMC. By making a bootable SD and installing CMx from there, there is no reason to root the B&N ROM before installation... so you can install it regardless of ROM on you NookColor.

So I just copy the CM into the flash (that I had made it bootable with CWM) and install CM from there. I create a backup using CWM.
Hi,
Firstly ought to say thanks to verygreen et al. for the awesome cyanogen mod, have 10.1.3 up and running on a nook hd+ mand it's great.
I'm trying to get: h-t-t-p-s://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygotablet&hl=en_GB to work on the nook hd+ with cyanogenmod, they have some pretty extreme protection measures against rooted devices. I've read just about the whole 292 pages of the thread on Sky Go (The mobile version) to work out how I might go about getting it to work.
I've tried manually moving su, and OTA rootkeeper, and changing ro.tags to "release-keys" in build.prop, I'm just taking a backup now to try changing ro.secure to 1 in default.prop in initrd.gz. (I couldn't figure out another way to get hold of the boot image, am I missing something obvious?).
Basically wanted to know if I'm fighting a losing battle here - or if there some way to actually unroot cyanogenmod that I'm not aware of. Don't really want to have to go back to stock to get this working, but the tablet is for the Mrs and I think she'd really like Sky Go.....
I know in the previous version people had some success running with a stock kernel - does anyone know if it's possible to replace the Cyanogenmod kernel with the stock nook one?
Cheers
