Has anyone installed a different keyboard on their rooted HD+? If so, any problems/issues? I'm thinking of trying the basic ics keyboard from the play store on my rooted HD+ (I used someone0's method), but I'm not sure if it will mess with the system enough to cause problems. Any info or advice would be appreciated Thanks!
I'm using the Thumb Keyboard with absolutely no issues.

I use the hackers keyboard with no issues on rooted stock. Very nice keyboard.

I was using the 4.2 keyboard on unrooted stock... Worked nice.

Thanks, everyone! I tried the ICS keyboard from the Play Sstore and it looked just as big and chunky as the stock keyboard. I know you can reduce the portion of screen it takes up in the paid version, but I'm going to try the others you all suggested and see which one I like the most out of all of them.

Do I just bought two nooks. One for my father and the other for myself. I got them so we could have a cheap Android Tablet. Should I put Froyo or Honeymoon on them , also is there a gingerbread build as well. Which is the easiest to flash onto the NC. Also which build\rom has full functionality because we are both wanting flash support for our Business. Thanks for all the help also I'm pretty new to rooting and everything. Only rooted two DX's and a Vibrant. So easy stuff there.

I'd suggest you try out both Nookie and Honeycomb using the SDcard images first and see which one best suites your needs.
I have 2 SDcards (one with each on them) that I've been testing out. So far I'm sticking with the Honeycomb preview. My main needs are to be able to browse the web and it does that well. It also plays the game or two that I want well.
I might be wrong but I don't think Flash is working for Honeycomb yet. So if Flash is a big deal to you, you may have to go the Nookie (Froyo) route.
Either way I'd suggest the SDcard method first. It seems to be the simplest way to try things out.
If you're not comfortable with rooting, you may want to start with autonootering stock Eclair and playing with that first. It's much less involved and more stable.
Is nookie froyo stable
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The froyo is very stable now but you will once a while run into fc issues with app. I have two NC. One with stock 1.1 and running froyo from SD card. One has froyo in emmc. With the overclock, they both are very good.

Has anyone had the B&N 1.4.1 OTA happen to them? I know 1.3 was a disaster for my wife and I, which I have only recently recovered from thanks to you guys. But has Armageddon actually occured?
1.4.1 loaded on my wife's nook and she hated it. It had a lot of problems connecting to the book and app store. I just put her on CyanogenMod 7 and she likes it a lot more

I manually updated, then rooted it. I quite like it, but I'm not a long-time B&N user. I previously ran CM7 on this thing since the day I purchased it in July 2011. All the B&N stuff works, as does the Market and sideloading. For now, at least, I'm staying with 1.4.1.
Was yer swife's NC rooted? Was she at 1.2 or 1.3? Thanks for listening. BCNU...K2CQW

Right now im using CM7 (O3D) and im currently using the sixaxis controller to play emulators. I would like to go back to go back to Froyo or GB but sixaxis only seems to work on CM7 (to my knowledge) is there another bluetooth controller app I could use for froyo/GB??
I went to use it on Froyo and GB and the only thing that stopped me was needing root (which I didn't/don't have) so I believe it works on all roms as long as you have root.
No I was wondering what controller app I could use for froyo/GB cause sixaxis app didn't work on those roms
Sent from my LG Thrill or is it LG O3D?? idk I can't make up my mind :-/
The one by Dancing Pixel Studios? I can't imagine it being so limited that it doesn't work on any Froyo or GB. I mean, the description does mention that it doesn't work on all devices and even offers the tester tool to find out but to be strictly rom based just blows my mind. I guess my question is what makes you think it doesn't work on Froyo/GB? You seemed pretty unsure about it.

I know it doesn't work because every time I start it up it reboots my phone lol and that's for both froyo and GB.
That sucks.
I tried it and it also reboots my phone.

I've been trying to find information on how to get Zinio working on my NST. I have googled and looked everywhere for information on this. Does anyone have it working out there? I've tried to download Gingerbread versions of Zinio, but they don't seem to work. Am I missing something, or am I just out of luck?
The Zinio website states that the Android app is not compatible with the "Nook device". Presumably they mean one of the tablet forms, so if it won't run on those, it certainly won't run on the NST.

thanks for your reply. However, Zinio is compatible with rooted nook devices. I have a nook color and a Nook Tablet both of which have been running Zinio just fine. My question is about gingerbread compatibility with Zinio. I wonder if anybody has experience with that. Since my nook simpletouch is rooted, I thought it might be a possibility. the website is accurate about non rooted devices, but not rooted ones.
Gingerbread compatibility seems irrelevant, our NST isn't even close, we're running 2.1 Eclair.

Ok. So I got it wrong. How about an eclair version?

I just flashed the newest CM11 build yesterday on my HD+. Its running great and many thanks for the threads on getting it done as painlessly as possible. I do have a question and not sure if there is a workaround.
Google Play still sees the device as a stock HD+. That means it still thinks I am running Android 2.2 Nook OS so a lot apps are "not compatible with your device". I hoped that one perk of upgrading to 4.4 was that I could now get the latest and greatest apps and other features that only work on the higher OS levels.
Any way to fix this? What I dont understand is that I have an old HP Touchpad running Tenderloin and it shows up as "unknown maker" cm-tenderloin device. When I updated the HD+ I went through the process of logging into my accounts just like any other droid device.
Thanks for any help.
There is not much you can do. Even when other users manually edit the build.prop file to change it to another device, Play Store still does not show many more apps compatible. That is because Play Store looks at more properties that name. It looks at screen size, density and whether it has a camera, GPS, etc.
What you need to do is enable unknown sources and either use another store like Amazon.com or get the apk file from another device and install it manually.

Thanks for the tip. I will try the unknown source route.
I don't see why it's still recognizing yours as 2.2 though. Before installing the 4.4.4 KITKAT OS, Instagram and iHeartRadio were deemed incompatible with my device. However, once I installed the new OS, they installed and ran flawlessly even without features such as a camera. Then again I AM using the HD instead of the HD+ so maybe that has something to do with it?

He is mistaken on that. It does see it as 4.4, he just assumed that was the problem.
