Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!
Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.
Follow this guide to replace your stock.

Or follow this guide if you want to install to SD and leave stock intact.

My Nook Color is currently running CM7 - thanks to these very forums, however after using my new-look Nook (and Android for the first time) I find that I do miss the standard Nook apps.
My purpose for rooting the Nook Color was that I wanted to have a better browser (tabs please!), be able to use a dedicated comic reader app and use dropbox for file-syncing.
As I understand it using Auto-Nooter or Manual-Nooter will enable me to do all this and retain the original Nook apps.
Is this correct? - and if so what are the differences in outcome between Auto-Nooter or Manual-Nooter?
Which version will be the best for my needs, stability and battery life?
ManualNooter 4.6.16 does fine for what you want. You can have the Stock B&N OS look, and the full android market.
I see no difference in Battery life with ManualNooter vs Stock B&N OS.

Auto-Nooter and Manual-Nooter are version specific based on what stock OS version you are running. If you are running stock OS version 1.0.0, you would use AN v.2.12.15. If you are running stock OS version 1.0.1, you would use AN v.2.12.25. If you are running stock OS version 1.1.0, you would use AN v.3.0. If you are running stock OS version 1.2.0, you would use the current MN v.4.6.16 package.
I would do a factory restore/update to OS version 1.2.0, and use MN v.4.6.16.
Manual-Nooter it is then - thanks for the response guys.

Get Nook Color App Manager from the market. It integrates the sideloaded apps into the stock home launcher.

Then you are at square one. You made it sound like you just wanted to make the apps that you have already installed to show.
Start here and root. You can do nothing without root:

Install cm7. And even then it is a kind of a crippled bluetooth. The Nook Color does not have a bluetooth antenna since B&N never intended for bluetooth to be used. It only has a range of less than one foot at best.

I am using a Honeycomb Image from here for my Nook Color and can't find a way to get the Play Store as it didn't come with it and there is no file manager to install from the sdcard. Has anyone else used this or know of a better one for the Nook Color that will allow me access to the Play Store as I am wanting to install Unity Remote so I can use the device with Unity 3D. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you email it you should be able to run it from the email attachment / download menu. But I would say try some of the jellybean builds. They're much more complete and they run much smoother, the HC builds were built from the sdk and never got to a point of great stability.

Play Store gets installed as part of a gapps package, not as a stand alone app. Try one of the gapps-hdpi or gb or ics versions at goo.im. Flash that with your CWM.

Thanks for helping. I was trying the Honeycomb build since I was able to run it from the sd card but I also tried the one from CyanogenMod which has 2.3.5 that is listed as the last stable version for Nook Color and that anything later isn't stable from their mods. Is there a jellybean build you recommend that is stable? And how do I install the gapps as I couldn't find any documentation on the goo site. Also I was unable to add my e-mail with CyanogenMod 7.2 as it wasn't able to communicate with the server and I was connected to Wifi.

You really should get rid of that honeycomb. It is way put of date and was never very good. Go to my NC updated SD installation thread linked in my signature. Everything you need is there. I recommend the latest CM10 nightly linked there. It is a nightly, but very stable (certainly more stable than that honeycomb). And the link for the gapps that matches is linked on my thread too.

The stuck at 99% usually means that you still have the CM10 SD in the slot or it can mean you flashed the wrong version of my white on white repair.
If you want to reinstall, I have a plain 2.0.0 rom you can flash in my HD/HD+ CWM thread. Then you can let it update itself. But be warned it is a US ROM and may not work properly if you are outside the US.

Yeah. I just passed it, cause i left my SD card on it. Moving then its gonna be ok now.
But i got one more question. It depends on my location & my language. Pls check this application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2UuY29tLmFuZHJvaWQuaW5wdXRtZXRob2QubGF0aW4iXQ
This application allows me to type our language with unicode by Telex feature.
How can i write it over and use that application for typing my language. It seems ur CM10.1 doesnt accept it to run. The Google Nexus 7 with stock ROM can run it so well and no matter.
Tks

If you just need a 3rd party keyboard that can use Vietnamese, and it doesn't need to be that one. I guess you can give the Hackers' keyboard a try. Just install it and go into setting to add Vietnamese. I use it for Thai keyboard. Switching between Thai<->English is a matter of swiping the space bar key. I know that Leapinlar use it as well, but may not be for non-english keyboard. It's a good keyboard as it has stuff like arrow-key also. And it's free, I don't believe there is a Vietnamese dictionary for it though.

Actually, we got Vietnamese's dictionary here. But that way's not so good so it works around only.

The post above you has a fix in his signature that is this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75 give that a try.
You won't be able to install TWRP until you install a 2nd bootloader. Once you do that, you flash the ROM from there.
