I just rooted my Nook HD, even selecting "fix permisssions" in the root menu, but still can't seem to install apk's that aren't from the Nook Store. Can someone help me?

You need to enable unknown sources. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my zip that does that.

I am rooted every working fine. But i can't download any attached files on the site. I have Astro installed with dowloads enabled. Thanks.

You are unable to download or install the APK's? The downloads on the NC go to the sdcard/download folder. Check there and see if they are just not showing up normally.
Make sure you're set up to install non-Marketplace apps. If you used AutoNooter for NC firmware 1.0.1, you can enable this using the Nook color tools.
Thanks I am an idiot. I took the SD card and forgot. Thanks.
I just rooted my kindle fire hd and now wondering exactly how to get the apps I want on there. The reason I rooted it was mainly that I wanted GO Launcher HD and also the Google Play Store. How do I go about getting these to work on tablet now? I thought that maybe now that I was rooted I would just be able to download the files .apk and install them using ES File Explorer, but when I tried with GO Launcher HD it installed but nothing happened? Where do I go from here?

Thanks, I couldn't find the GO Launcher one.
I did find a Play Store one, got it installed but I'm not able to log into it with my google account.
You must install the Google service framework apk to login. And make sure you install it from /system/app with rw-r-r permissions. And you must install Play from from there too, now you can login. I have it working perfectly by using this method.
This thread tells you exactly how to get the play store working on your KFHD, including all the files.

Hi
I did the cwm root gapps zip for my nook hd and I am able to download some apps from the play store but a lot of them
Are saying your device isn't compatible with this version..for example chrome, Amex, Citibank ... I was able to install eBay, adobe
Reader words with friends... Is there something else I have to do?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

No. It is an issue with Play Store. Just because it says incompatible does not mean it will not run, it just means you cannot install it from them.
Try some alternate stores like Amazon Store or the one from 1mobile.com. or download them from the web somewhere and install.

Hi,
Followed the instructions in leapinlar's thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 to add universal root and unknown sources to stock 2.1.1 via CWM on Nook HD.
All seemed to work fine - no error messages on CWM, cynanoboot logo shows on boot up, zeam and any cut show up in my apps....but when I try to install an apk I get the message "This NOOK cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format." I also have no option within settings to enable unknown sources.
I tried using NT Hidden Settings and applying the Unknown Sources Hack but get the message "Missing system/bin/su"
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance, and apologies if I've left out any important info, totally new to android
There is no setting in stock to enable unknown sources. That is why I have the zip. And how are you trying to install the apk file, using the stock files program? You need to use a third party file manager installed from the Play Store (like root browser or ES Explorer). Those will install them after flashing my zip.

I found a way to add unknown sources without flashing the zip, but it requires you to be rooted.
If your STOCK rom is rooted, go to the play store and download sqlite debugger.
*** BE WARNED *** You can completely screw up things and make the phone LOCK UP if you do something wrong.
I will post detailed instructions later today.
Yes, I could have told him that, but since it takes having the bootable CWM to get rooted, you might as well flash the zip.
I have instructions in my HD/HD+ Tips thread to enable it if you are rooted.

I have just installed CM10.1 on my Nook HD+ and all appears to be going well.
I am now wondering how I can install apps I have purchased from Barnes & Noble to my tablet? I have the Nook app but it only shows books and magazines, not apps. And when I go into my B&N library online, there is no option to download the apps.
Thank you.

You cannot. But if you know what you are doing, you can. You can put stock back on and install the apps from B&N. Then root with my universal root. Then copy the apk files from /data/app and move them to your sdcard. Then once CM10.1 is reinstalled, use the copied apk files to reinstall. Most will work but some may not.
You can get my universal root from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

Thank you for your reply.
I dont think its worth me going to that much trouble for the apps I have at B&N. There is only a handful and none are all that important or were very expensive. I read someone elses comment somewhere that they had been able to get their B&N apps working but they didnt say how, so I assume they did as you have suggested. If I had more apps at B&N I would probably make the effort but at least I now know it is actually possible.
Thank you
Just sideload them from somewhere like aptoide.
You've paid for them so it's not exactly piracy! Not in my eyes anyway!
