I thought the version of android on the nook hd and hd+ was 4.0 or higher, but I downloaded chrome for ics and couldn't get it to work. Is it possible to have chrome on the stock root hd+ and if so, where can I download it? thank you.

Several have reported it does not work for them, even though the HD is ics. Other Google apps fail some way or another. Google Voice crashes, and Gmail will not sync.

I got Chrome to work on my HD+. I didn't do anything special but download and install. I must say it has some things which keep it from being my favorite which currently is Dolphin. Many of the websites on my favorites list use "Flash" to display content and Android Chrome does not support Flash.

Yeah, strange, I sideloaded the version I got from my Galaxy Nexus and it works fine on my HD+. Think it even updated once: ver 18.0.1025469

Great news, Hulu Plus is now available for 6 Android devices. I wonder if we can get an apk from a compatible smartphone and test it on Nook Color. The compatible devices are:
Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix
Update: Found it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14993003#post14993003
The app seems to work perfectly on my Nook Color running phiremod v6.3.
Not supported
Not supported on CM7 n102. Installs fine but wont play anything.
OK, tested it and works fine on my CyanogenMod 7.

What nightly are you using ? Please and thank you.
Latest 7.1 beta and latest Dalingrin OC kernel.
Sent from my Nook Color
By latest 7.1 beta I assume you mean nightly 110?
When I run the app, I get a red and white message popup saying that my device isn't supported. It will allow me to login and manage my queue (big whoop), but it won't play anything.
I'm on CM7 nightly 106, Dal's OC kernel. Build prop is edited for manufacturer = HTC for netflix.
I tried changing my buildprop to match my Nexus one (all kinds of combos until it broke when I changed the processor type), but no joy.
Coincidentally, I am having problems on my Nexus One running CM7 stable (7.0.3-N1-signed). It will start playing, but immediately buffers and then complains about the network (I'm on WiFi).
Any ideas? I'll upgrade to nightly 110 after I run a backup.

Shows stream perfectly for me. Did you modify your build.prop or is it standard? Have you tried using using Rom Manager to fix permissions?
Works perfectly for me too. I'm CM7.1, Build GRI40. My NC thinks it's a "Nexus S" by "samsung" in name only. No fingerprint mods were made when I did this a while back to make Netflix work (which also runs great).
I found my APK here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136634
Well, CM7 nightly 110 didn't help. Switching to Phiremod 6.3 didn't make a difference. Tried Nexus S / Samsung in build.prop (after switching back to nightly 110) and not only did Hulu+ android app refuse video playback, Netflix is impersonating Alvin and the Chipmonks©.
Guess its back to HTC in the build.prop and waiting for an update to Hulu+ for me.
Oh, and the problem with my Nexus One constantly buffering was my modified hosts file for AdBlocking. I had to "Revert" to normal to get Hulu+ working on my N1. (It made no difference on my Nook either).
Question for folks that have it running on your Nooks: Did you ever modify your Flash player to get Hulu working in your browser prior to installing the dedicated app?

I'm running the official CM 7.0.3 (Encore build) with stock / non-overclocked kernel. Your issue is likely kernel / overclock related. It could also be that the unstable nightlies don't work. Try a stable build.

I don't think the OC is the problem (except for the Netflix Chipmonks, that's a "known issue"). To be sure I didn't load one until I restored my CM7 n110 install at the end.
Phiremod 6.3 includes an OC kernel and soricon reports that he or she runs dalingrin's OC kernel, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Phiremod is also based on 7.0.3 stable and soricon uses "latest 7.1 beta" (which I take to mean "latest nightly").
Those users are reporting a "functional" program. I just hope that means they have Hulu + accounts, have logged in, and have actually played videos in the app and not in the browser.

You are right, I do have Hulu+ account and it runs in the app just fine.
I am running the Phiremod test build (which is nightly 102) with the 061311 Kernel and it works great for me.
Did you do the WIN or IE6 mod to your browser? I am using Dolphin HD...in settings, go to USER AGENT and use CUSTOM. Under CUSTOM USER AGENT, enter WIN for windows.
In the stock browser under SELECT USER AGENT, use IE6.
That may be where your getting stuck.

We are discussing running the new dedicated app for Hulu+, not going to hulu.com in a browser. I was concerned that there might be confusion on that matter.
I am also interested in knowing whether or not anyone that *IS* getting the app to run had previously been using the modified flash program in a browser to access hulu.com
Thanks

I'm using a non-modified version of Flash on phiremod v6.3 and the hulu + app is streaming perfectly. When hulu + was announced the other day, it was not available to me in the market. I downloaded the apk from the Android development thread here on xda. Once I installed the apk with app installer and entered my hulu + account info, it just worked perfectly. No modified Flash, no modified build.prop. Let me know if there is any additional information that I can share to help out.
Thanks for the info. It looks like CM 7.1 stable is going to drop in the next build, so I'll get all my backups up to date and prepare a totally fresh install (wiping EVERYthing). I'll try Phitemod first, but I'm hoping CM will work.
I have a theory that the apk I harvested from my N1 originally hosed something deep and switching to the app from xda later never really "took". That or the Netflix build prop changes and / or brian21f's fixer app changed something deep.
We'll see
It's running fine on my NC - CM7.0.3 stable, hulu-fied Flash, have not changed the build.prop (although I tried and couldn't get it to write for some reason).
I used to have Hulu+ but discontinued it a few weeks ago.
I watched on of the free streams this morning and it looked beautiful.
How much I love this forum! Pherimod 6.3 and Hulu + is running perfectly on my NC.
Hi,
I was going to follow up a post in the Manualnooter thread but I can't post there.
So I cannot install Dolphin Browser HD to save my life. In the playstore on the nook, it's not visible. In playstore on my pc, it says it's not compatible. I tried sideloading it, going into root explorer but i get "problem parsing". Does anyone have any ideas what else I can do?
Also, I hate mobile/mini versions of browsers. Are there any alternatives for full browsers?
Thanks in advance.

Opera Browser is my preferred browser. I can share my settings with those at home and work on my pc's and laptops... though there are other features of Opera that surpass those in Dolphin and Firefox.
As to Dolphin, it should work on Manualnooter. On mine, I purchased the B&N Dolphin app. Works well though I rarely use it.
As for PlayStore view, you are correct, I don't see Dolphin HD but I do see Dolphin Browser Mini and other Dolphin addons and themes for HD. Interesting.
Try Opera Mobile or get HD thru the B&N app. Either way, they turn your NC into a great tablet.

Yes there is, just DL from websites offering APK Downloads. Once DL'd, put into uSD, open it from there and Viola, you're using Dolphin Browser HD.
Note:
Dolphin Browsrer HD works on CM 7.2 for Nook Color, so it should work nonetheless for Rooted Stock Nook.

This is directly from B&N 1.4.2 build.prop:
ro.build.version.release=2.2.1
2.2.1 is Froyo
2.3.x is Gingerbread
Additionally.... B&N stock 1.4.3 is also 2.2.1
This is why users must use Dalagrin's froyo kernels if they want over-clocking...
WARNING CM7 (Gingerbread) and CM9 (Icecream Sandwich) kernels WILL NOT work with any B&N stock AOSP at this time.

Ok. I guess just because version number is the same as nook tablet, they are not the same version of android. It has been a very long time since I had stock on my color. Thanks for clearing that up.
No problem at all.. just didn't want anyone doing anything that's not good
I'm not sure how to search this, so if it has been asked before, my apologies.
I am planning on rooting my Nook HD+ and putting a CM10.1 nightly (yay for official support!) on it. My question is this, I have a few books on my Nook that I purchased from B&N. I was wondering if the B&N app lets me still use these while I'm running CM 10.1 or if I'm S.O.L. and going to lose them. I know side loaded books I can find a reader on the Play Store and not have an issue there. Thanks for your help guys, I much appreciate it.

Yes the Nook android app will retrieve your purchased books. But the trick is going to be installing the Nook android app on CM10.1. It will not install from Play Store. You have to find the app somewhere else and sideload it. Another way is to use the 1mobile.com store. It lets you install it.

I don't know how it happened, but somehow it seems as though my Nook will only boot to CVM 10.1 when I have the bootable sd card in it. Will I need to keep it in there or did I royally mess something up? Thanks, I got straight onto the struggle bus, kicked the driver off, and went for a joyride with this.

Hello,
Recently installed the CM 10.1 stable firmware and I'm enjoying the experience. I also installed Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81)
but I'm still having an issue with flash videos. Some videos will play but others seem to fail to load or not play at all. This version of Flash worked perfectly on my previous tablet.
I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to get Flash working correctly on their Nook?
Many thanks.

Sent from HD+ MAG2GA CM 10.2 from SD
I'm running a rooted Nook HD+ . I have CM 10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1 Ovation.
Everything is running perfectly fine and I love the battery life and getting rid of all the bloat from B&N. I do want to update the Nightlies and when new stable versions come out. My question was do I need an SD CARD to do this? Does the SD Card still need to be a bootable one?
I noticed that under about and CM Updates I can download an update. If I download and just let it install will that cause any errors? Or can I just put the rom and gapps on a sd card and flash them (( like I have done with the Galaxy S3 and other android devices)) on the Nook Hd+ since I'm already rooted?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If you installed CWM or TWRP to internal memory you can update to CM10.2 without an SD. But there is an issue if you use the cmupdater to do it. The issue is where cmupdater puts the file versus where CWM/TWRP expects it to be. See the Dummies thread for an explanation. See the note at the bottom of the first post in that thread.

Im not sure if you know but there is a stable 10.2.1 that was released thst i am running now. It works great. I am on a hd im not sure if its available for hd+ yet.
I like this build and have had no issues. I updated threw the cm updater in settings. I did have issue with google play but flashed newer version then did a factory restore and runs with no issues. I woild recomend a restore after each update over earlier version.
If u are speaking of going from 10.2 to cm 11 well, thats a different matter
