I have a rooted Nook HD and I have Gapps and a normal launcher installed. Is there a way to make installations from the Play store show up in my Nook app list when I flip to the Nook Home?

Only apps purchased from B&N show there. To my knowledge, no one is hacking that.

You can go to home/apps and while in the apps screen hold the volume up key and press the apps title bar simultaneously for a few seconds. An extras screen shows up that shows the non-B&N apps. But you have to do that every time you want to see it, so it is not very convenient.

Hi. I want to put the "reader" app (the dafault nook reader app) at home, but I can't find it at the app drawer. Is there any way to do it? It doesn't show in the app list of desktop visualizer either...
Thanks
It's listed in the Apps draw as library.
Thanks, but the library opens the list of books, not the last one I'm reading.
I rooted my Nook using Touchnooter and have the little book icon at the top of the screen which takes me back to the last book and page I was reading.
Anyone have any experiences with Plex on the Nook HD or HD+ they'd like to share? Plex on my rooted Nook Tablet has been a little disappointing, with the app being pretty hit or miss as to what and how smoothly it will play back. I was hoping I could stream through the web client, but won't play anything back through Dolphin browser.
Does it work any better on the HD or HD+?
Wondering as well. Getting one for my daughter. I know it runs bad as a win8 app so not holding my breath.
I bit the bullet and got a Nook HD with the Staples deal today and bought Plex from the Nook Store. It actually runs pretty well, much better than on CM7 on Nook Tablet.
However, the softkeys bottom chrome doesn't fully go away in full screen (turns black), which is quite annoying. I hope this is fixed in the future or at least made optional.

That turning the bottom bar black is not a bug. It is called "lights out" and is a feature of android. B&N designed the bottom bar to not go away with ordinary apps so some apps use lights out to make it look like it is gone.

One more question to add: what is the best video app for putting your personal videos on the fire?
For Access to your books you have to remove(move) Kindle App from /system/app and install kindle app from play store.

I'm not sure what happened exactly, but I have Kindle Books still available via original carousel launcher after rooting and installing Google Play services. I remember losing access to books and magazines when I rooted the first time (8.1.13) and installed Google Play services.
When I lost root with the forced 8.1.14 update, I rerooted, did a factory reset, deregistered, re-registered...and then I somehow had access to books and mags again, without having to install the Kindle app, all while retaining ability to use Google Play Services.
If someone wants to try to reproduce my results, those are the only steps I remember doing.
I can still access my books from the original carousel as well but its in the apex launcher i have issues
There are quite a few Kindle apps that reside in the system folder which I do not use not does my device. Although they run on startup and stay running, I'm convinced most are not needed nor need to be running.
Does anyone have a list of apps which can be removed without causing damage?

I've frozen the following (not removed) with no side effects. I'm sure there's more though:
Amazon
Amazon GameCircle
Amazon Kindle
Amazon MP3
Amazon Video
Exchange Services
Kindle Setup
Kindle Tutorial
KindleStoreWebApp

Awesome, thanks.
Did freezing them increase your boot-time at all? Or any increase in performance?
EDIT: Is it also possible to freeze the original kindle home launcher? Noticed that runs as well

Folks- I'm interested if anyone reads magazines on their nook HD+.
I downloaded some PDF magazines and I'm trying to find a good way to read them. The text is very small and zooming is a pain.
I downloaded a sample magazine from nook store, and it worked great it even had an article view.
I downloaded a free magazine from Google play magazines and again the text was really small and hard to read.
Any tips - am I missing something? Do you just have to zoom in?
I use the google magazines app for Motorcycle Cruiser. I set it to text only and it is perfect for reading the articles.
1. Open mag
2. Single click in the middle of screen
3. Top menu should appear
4. Choose option "view text"
To revert follow same steps and choose "exit text"
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply - I missed that option in Google magazines.
It doesn't allow you to side load your own magazines unfortunately, so I'm still trying to find a good way to view pdf magazines.
I use adobe reader for side loads. You do have to zoom but it refreshes pretty quick.

I wish someone would figure out how to get the Stock ROM NOOK app working in CM. I have a couple mag subscriptions and the difference in the magazine reader is HUGE. That is the only thing I use the Nook reader for. Does anyone know of a way to open B+N purchased magazines with another app?

First, the nook reader itself is what makes the magazines so awesome. I'm not sure that, even if you were successful in opening the magazines in another app, that they would be the same.
Second, the magazines are stored in a root only access area so you need to be rooted to get at them (/data/nookmedia).
Third, even if you got to the files, they are probably DRM protected so other apps could not use them. You should be able to use DRM removal software to free them up though.

Are books stored in /data/nookmedia also?
The reason I ask is because I transferred a lot of epubs (drm free) and they appear in the library as files, they do not appear on the Book shelf. I would like them to appear as books (which they are).
Solution: root and copy them to the /data/nookmedia folder?

Yes books are stored there too. But I don't know if your proposed solution will make them appear in the library. I guess you could try.
