newbie question: how to load android apps on 8GB 1.4.2 - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I just purchases a Nook Tablet 8 GB with software version 1.4.2 I would like to load the Adobe Reader android app onto it. Since this is all I want to do, I imagine I would only have to root it, right? I have a linux box running adb so I would simply download the .apk and push it onto the rooted Nook, right? Is it this simple? Sorry for the noob question, I have a Droid X so I'm not new to Android, however, I've never worked with the Nook Tablet before.
EDIT:
I did some reading and found this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553 It looks like it is the only method available currently, right? The video example shows the OP using Go launcher ex as the launcher. The thing is, my wife likes the standard Nook interface so I'm hoping this can be kept. Also, this Nook is registered to my wifes Barnes and Nobel account. Will rooting deregister it? Thanks.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826 load cm7 on an sd card and go that route
edit: lemme explain a bit more.. you get the android system with no changes to your actual device so no warranty issues.. wanna go back to stock nook.. take out SD card and bam back to stock

For stock you will need to root to have access to Google play a.k.a "android market" and for sideload apps once you're rooted you need to download NT hidden settings (download from Google Play)and go to hack settings and hit Unknown Sources after that you will be able to open apps you download in your Nook Tablet or apps you have copied to your sdcard.

Thanks for the replies. Please excuse my delay in responding. I actually followed jichuan89 post in the link in my OP. It worked very well. It installed the market/google play and I was able to load apps. I kept the stock nook interface since my wife prefers it. The only downside I've noticed is that the apps installed from google play don't show up in the stock apps menu. You have to search for them. It's really no big deal, just thought I'd mention it. Anyway it's working great now.
@ lavero.burgos
I did not download the NT hidden settings that I noticed and I did not see any option for Unknown Sources. Maybe they installed with jichuan89's root method? I will check as soon as I can get the NT back from my wife . Also, I'm concerned about OTA updated from Barnes & Nobel. How can I disable this? Is that in the NT hidden settings somewhere? Thanks.

[Q] Can't download specific app?

So I've been having trouble trying to download an app I need. It's available in the stock Barnes & Noble App store as well as on the Android/Amazin marketplace for Honeycomb users. It's called Drawing Pad by Murtha Design and the little kid demands to have it! I've tried installing Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb - my device shows up as "incompatible." I keep getting an error when trying to spoof my build.prop file into thinking it's a Motorola Xoom. I'm getting tired of trying to download this single app - so annoying! Does anyone know if it would be possible to go back to the stock ROM, download it and then save ithe APK onto my PC or SD card? From there install Honeycomb again and then try to install it? Better yet would it be possible for someone to buy it from their Xoom, transfer to SD and share the apk with me? Not sure if that's allowed but I would appreciate it beyond belief -.-
I used the file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050520
to flash my rooted NC back to stock with CWM. CWM makes it easy to flash new roms with no need of a bootable SD.
Then I registered and whatnot followed by installing all my Nook apps. Once all the apps were installed I flashed MN 4.5.6
Since then I've flashed the newer MN followed by an overclocked kernel and other stuff.
The market will offer to update Nook apps that are on market, do not let the market update the apps.
Also Once everything is set to your liking avoid archiving Nook apps, there is a chance that it will not reinstall due to application space usage. I found that moving apps to SD helps with this, but do not move Nook apps to SD as they will show up as available to install again in Nook apps.

Newbie questions

I have a nook tablet and looking into rooting. Had an iPhone jailbroken from day 1 so very interested in this process for the nook. Apparently its best to down grade to 1.4 first since my nook updated. My daughter received new nook today but she is not giving it up and already has 1.4. I keep asking to trade but not having anything to do with it. Once I move down to 1.4 I can root and block updates it appears. However I do have a question on side loading. I have seen this term used a lot but unsure of its meaning. If I am rooted do I not just use the market to download apps to the nook once rooted?? Do you have to constantly sideload apps even after rooting?? thanks for any help
Sideloading - installing applications/games directly via apk (android package) you have on your home computer or on the SD card of the NT.
A rooted device allows you to download and install apps/games from Google Market as well as Amazon Appstore.
it is driving me crazy looking how to install the apk's from the sd card or computer. running 1.40 I have unknown sources loaded. but i can only sideload the apps if I download them from the nook browser.
how the hell do i load them from the sd card.
btw I am not rooted yet....computer keeps installing it as a storage device and that wont work for the life of me

Have you tried turning on (both) usb debugging settings and automount off? You usually have to redo those settings after a nook reboot.

Help with keeping NT at 1.4.0
Purchased a nook tablet for my mom for christmas but she wants apps not available on nook appstore so I got amazon appstore downloaded and apps added and then got the 1.4.1 update. I got it reset to 1.4.0 and set back up. I don't want to root because I am worried mom will have problems. (she is 73 years young) Happy with it the way it is with nook stuff working and having ability to get other apps from amazon. I keep turning off wireless to keep it status quo. All of the options to block ota seem to need the nt to be rooted. Is there a way to keep at 1.4.0, not root the nt, and be able to keep wireless on??
my undrstanding is root is required and i bet your grandmother would love android market

It seems like she's coming to you for problems, which means she shouldn't have to worry about rooting, and going into the store for help. She probably won't notice anything with missing out on the 1.4.1 update, as it seems like the only thing that was changed was breaking roots and sideloading. If it actually introduced new functionality, I would be amazed. And she probably won't do something that would break her tablet after you root it... it's not like rooted makes killing your system trivial. It is "easy", but you still have to activate root mode, mount /system rw, and then and THEN, you have to do something stupid.
So, I would stop stressing about rooting her device, but then again, if the next update actually forces something that will break the B&N apps (like change the server interface, or something, and reject anyone with an earlier version) then she would either have to live without them, or reset the nook and lose everything (hopefully, you would back it all up, though, right?)
Of course will back up but I was afraid it would make it too complicated but I guess I am going to root and see if she likes it. We can always reset the whole thing back to the beginning. Thanks for the confirmation that I need to root to block ota.
Thanks for the help!!!

[Q] New nook tablet, installing Gingerbread.

Hi, I'm expecting my nook tablet 16GB delivery in 2 more days and would like to prepare the files needed to install Gingerbread. I got a few qns before jumping into the pool.
Note:
1) I have 16GB microsd for the device
2) I am using Win7
3) I have yet to know what version is mine running. Worse case scenario, lets say it's 1.4.3 is it still possible?
Purpose of buying the nook:
1) Read + Purchase books from B&N store
2) Read ebooks of different file formats not from B&N store
3) Get a fully working + stable Gingerbread OS
4) Able to dl apps (google or amazon)
Questions:
1) Is it possible to dualboot the stock nook rom with Gingerbread?
2) If not, lets say after I make Gingerbread my main OS, can I revert back to the stock nook rom just so it will be like the first time I turned on the device?
3) What is the latest and safest method for installing Gingerbread?
4) What are the files required.
Thats all my Qns. I tried looking ard the forums but I keep getting confused as there are alot of versions and most of them dont mention 1.4.3. I was actually planning to install ICS but I came to an understanding that it is not such a stable OS for daily use (as the above). I will also be helping to mod my friend so I decided to settle on Gingerbread as he wont be able to fix any problems that might surface if I were to usse ICS.
Thank you in advance!!
lets see
most likely it'll be on 1.4.3 so you just need to do an sd card rooting solution. see the dev section
grab another microsd card for "rooting purposes" only needs to be 2-4 gig card.
this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583 should have everything to get CWM installed put the recovery.zip acclaim.zip you want to flash on the card as well
gingerbread..
see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826 for instructions
PERSONALLY i have the SD version on a 16gig microsd card just follow the directions in that post, pop sd card out of computer reader, pop into tablet, turn on tablet, sm7(gingerbread 2.3.7) comes on and runs COMPLETELY from the sd card. no need to ROOT or alter the internal. AT ALL, you just "lose" the internal flash memory the sd version does not have access to the internal memory. just make sure you use something like easus partition master to make sure you have all the flash ram accessible.
we currently have cm9 and cm10 versions avail for both sd and internal use, i am using this one currently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824499 and its been very stable since the mic fix went in. i see you want stability, cm7 is more stable and more things run well on it- so far on mine i cannot get netflix to work(read play videos) and mxvideo player is a bit wonky on streaming files from my computer- still works great though.
as for making sure it can go back-if you are going to be using the internal cm7 version....
using the sd card you make for rooting-BEFORE you change to CM7, boot into CWM make sure your sd card is mounted, then backup your system to the sd card.
then to return to "stock" just reflash the backup you just made. done.
if you just do ROOT for the stock 1.4.3 you should have access to:
google market, amazon market, amazon video player, etc... it's the nook tablet rom, with enhancements.
cm7 i cannot get the amazon video player working, which will work on "stock rooted"- if you have voodoo's rootkeeper on and temporarily unroot the tablet.
Woots! Just recieved my tablet. Look like its a version 1.4.1 So is it advisable to upgrade to 1.4.3 since I can just root my nook to get the library of apps I want.
Btw you've been a great help Lenardo! Your reply is very clear. This is good for new Nook Tablet users.
Thanks!
Anw, I rooted my tablet while still on 1.4.1
So far so good, but I realise my google market only have free apps.
What will make the restrictions go away? Is it depending on the APP or the google account that's logged into? Currently I am not using a US gmail account (from what I know...) and unfortunately I'm not residing in US.
Is it possible to remove the restriction? I would like to have full access to the store.

I recently bought my second NT, the first one went to my son. On the first one, I installed CM7 and it works fine, my son mainly reads kindle books. I rooted the second one and blocked OTAs.
I do not live in the US either, but a gmail account can be established from anywhere in the world.
If you do not want to use the original B&N reader software, install another memory, CM7 or whatever you like or boot it from an SD card with another memory on it and leave the Nook as it is, but root it and block OTAs. If you continue to use the original reader software, simply establish a gmail account and download google play.
For me, this means, I can download B&N books whenever I am in the US and here in Europe, I use the kindle.

[Q] How Do I Access B&N Paid for Apps

I haven't been able to find an answer to this question so I thought I would post it here. I sideloaded our Nook Tablets with Cyanogen Mod 7 and everything runs great (thanks Team-B for the great video). The tablet belongs to my 9 year old son and I don't want him to have to take the card out to access games that aren't available on the sideloaded Android OS. I tried installing the Nook apps and even accessed my B&N account through the web but there aren't any options to download the apps, it just says "recommend" or "review purchases." Does anyone know if there is a way I can load the apps I have already paid for through my B&N account without having to unmount the SD card? I should mention that I have tried root explorer and es file explorer but I can't seem to get access to the location where apps are stored. I even set back the Nook OS system to 1.4.2 but I can't seem to access any files. Keep in mind I am a complete newbie so if it's possible please provide the "dummy" instructions to do this if there is such a thing. Thanks!

[Q] Root 1.4.3 so I'm stuck with it rooted running android/nook together

The original post for the easy instructions to root the NT are a mess. The original instructions for doing it on Windows aren't even complete. I started building the files by following the Linux version of the instructions since they actually made sense and had the files you were to get.
If I'm not mistaken though I ended up using this to root the nook although it wasn't really what I was looking for considering I had CM7 and I would get a boot choice to go nook or android. That all stopped when the sd card I was using freaked itself and failed leaving me stuck at the N screen unless I pulled the SD card. My intentions were to leave the NT stock and not mess with it and run Cyanogen on the sd card. What it appears I'm left with though (without installing a rom) is a co-mingling Nook OS and Android OS since I'm now able to choose a launcher and I have Android screens with those launchers in the Nook itself. Which this is kinda cool because I don't have to reboot the system to switch to the reader anymore.
I installed Launcher 8 to give it some WIN8 love and easy access for my fiancee whom uses a mouth stick to get around in android easier. My problem I'm having is the android system doesn't seem complete. I'm assuming there are gaps missing or something because things are slow and some things aren't working when the icon is selected. Which simulates the program isn't actually there or the files to make it work.
Obviously there wouldn't be a phone but there are other things that used to work with the dual booting CM7 installed on the old SD card that aren't working now.
Since I'm not exactly sure if the above is how I ended up rooting the device I don't even know where to go from here to adding anything to it.
I'm not a developer and loaded this thing up about this time last year. The scenery has changed over the year and I'm kinda lost with all this again. Spent most of the day yesterday trying to figure out where I was and really got no where. So hopefully someone get's what I'm talking about and can give me the push in the right direction.
Not looking to make it dual boot again because this is easier for my fiancee to use like it is. Just want everything to work right like it should. I couldn't tell you what version android I have on here because I never actually loaded an individual rom yet there is android functioning on the device. My idea was to get the newest android which isn't 4.4 yet and is actually from what I can tell that is working would be JB. Yet I have no clue what this thing is running on with the loader and such I have on it.
I'm not enirely sure what it is you want, You say you don't want dual boot, and yet you talk about the non-wotking sd card as if you actually want dual boot.
Anyway, IF you want dual boot you don't need to root it at all. Just burn an sd card with a ready-made CM10.x image, pop it in and boot up. Then choose either internal, stock boot or run from sd-card.
Here is a link to a page with ready-made sd card image file:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
(This guy, Succulent, has inages of later versions of CM10.x as well, but this is the one I had a link to wothout having to go look for it.)
If you want the Tablet back to fresh "out of the box" condition you can use a repart.img that you can find by looking around a bit. I have referred to it in several posts, but I don't have a link at hand right now, Google is your friend...

*The non working sd card*
It was running as a dual boot before with cyogen or something like that and it would be selectable to go to Nook or the CM7 Android. That card somehow just died and can't even be seen in Windows anymore (have an rma filed with Patriot).
I rooted the nook and now I have what appears to be a partial android OS running inside the BN Nook OS but things aren't functioning. (I prefer it like this vs the dual boot way) So it's like I need a gapps file or something. All settings links lead to the Nook OS settings page and nothing get's me to the Android settings which is why I state it appears to be a partial Android OS. I don't even know what OS version it is because nothing fully functions with the Android side of things. (Take the Launcher8 Loader I installed. No icons actually open what they should. Selecting an icon leads to that icons settings and not what it should be opening. I have the same loader on my Skyrocket so I know how it SHOULD function and selecting an icon to get options for it is not correct. You have to press and hold to get the button to set the icon options.)
You won't get "proper" Android just by rooting. For that you need to install CM x.x. Either install it internally or run it from sd (that you apparently don't want to do)
I have not followed the particular root process you used, but both of the ones I have used myself come with gApps included.

Brian's method looks a hell of a lot familiar like that may have been what I did instead but the listing of apps with his doesn't match what I have on the nook now: (only thing I didn't put in the list was what I installed off google play which is launcher8)
android reader
car home
chess
contacts
crossword
downloads
email
es file explorer
flash player settings
getjar
google search
home
home manager
home catcher
hulu plus
music player
my media
netflix
news and weather
nook friends
nook video
nookhwtest
nookviewer
nt hidden settings
pandora
play store
sound recorder
spare parts
splashtop remote
sudoku
superuser
talk
testcenterservice
twitter
That is all the installed apps that pull up under the Nook OS with using Launcher8 and swipping the homescreen to the left it pulls up a list of installed apps just like windows phone.
It must be brians anyway because I just opened the nook hidden settings and under the about Nook Tablet Hidden Settings it shows:

It is the development section I am aware of that and can read. I'm in the 10.2 thread which is actually what I want running on the NT. So what better place to get the help for it then in the thread for it like everyone else has.
Actually you are incorrect as you say nothing about returning the tablet to stock out of the box. Must have been someone else your thinking of. I don't want it to be out of the box though. The nook OS was already setup with apps and books etc. I just want to reverse the rooting I guess to remove the stock android from it so I can then use the links you provided to create a correct root and dual boot using wait for it.....

Ok I stand corrected on that matter, but stock out of the box isn't what I want.
I'm not sure you can undo what you've done without loosing content. But as long as you backup your sideloaded stuff, your BN books and apps can be dowloaded at any time.
I suppose you can stay rooted and just disable your alternative launcher and what have you, but you said something about your system being slowed up, and I susoect fixing that without a wipe of some sort would be difficult. Could be wrong though snce I haven't dealt with that myself. Let's hope someone that knows better might come along with advice more to your liking.
While waiting for that you can always make one of the CM 10.x sd card images and run it.It will work completely independent from your trublesome stock OS.
System isn't slow at all also anything side loaded came from B&N so could also be redownloaded like the books. I was just hoping to keep all that intact as it was. There just aren't certain things working that should is all. I'm sure if I was a dev and understood all this stuff more clear I could fix it. I would rather take the easy cheesy way out and just redo it. lol Too much stuff around the house falling behind while messing with this thing.

The BN stock ROM is based on Android v3.2 ("Honeycomb"). Rooting it essentially enables you to install additional apps beyond those that came with the stock ROM, either via the Playstore or by side-loading & installing the apps' .apk files (rooting packages/tools themselves typically add some commonly used apps (Email, Playstore, etc.) to get the user started).
The risk of using rooted stock ROM on the NT (especially as BN won't be releasing any more update for it) is you're stuck with the Android 3.2 base, thus as developers' support for 3.2 wanes over time you won't be able to install newer apps or even newer updates of many current apps. This same "Android version obsolescence" consideration also applies to CM7 and CM9.
As such I think it make the most sense to install CM10 to replace the stock ROM internally on emmc. If you value stability over having the latest/greatest bells/whistles, try Succulent's CM10.0 version dated 12/31/12, or the CM official 10.1.3.

So CM 10 can replace the current android OS inside Nook? Or are you saying CM 10 will replace the Nook OS all together if put on the emmc?

It will alltogether replace the Nook OS. As said in one of the posts in the development section thread they are mutually exclusive.
If you want to keep any of the original Nook functions you cannot run another Android veresion except from sd-card (meaning dual boot).

That's what I thought but the other user made it seem like CM 10 would replace the Honeycomb OS. So that leaves with with waiting for other input on the possibility to unroot without going to complete stock on the Nook..........

Unroot without going to complete stock??
Your options:
Unrooted = stock.
Rooted stock (what you run now) = stock but with access to system files and ability to use for example Google Play store.
Install CM 10.x internally = completely replacing Nook OS.
Dual boot: Running CM 10.x from sd card, leaving the Nook OS (rooted or unrooted, either works) internally. Remove sd-card or reboot through Cyanoboot (you can leave the card in the device) to get to Nook OS.

Yea haven't heard back from anyone on the returning to stock without the complete reset so It looks like I will be moving books over in the near future.
So I'm getting back onto this thing and finishing it up either tonight or tomorrow.
Resetting the Nook to stock can all be done via the nook settings correct? IE no sd card needed.
