Obsolete Zips

If you want to see these items, click on Show Content below

a. Gapps/Play Store + Extras (rev2 - 2/3/2013) - No longer necessary for version 2.1.0.

This zip adds Play Store and a few other extras. This is the zip that most will want to install since it gives you a lot of flexibility to install new apps. And if you install it without the Universal Root there is no danger of getting reset.

You can download my NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras-for-stock-rev2.zip here. Rev1 included a few minor fixes and added zeam and AnyCut. Rev 2 adds Terminal Emulator, Root Browser and Userinit. It is approximately 24MB. It can be flashed as long as you have booted and set up (registered) the Nook first. After you install the zip, remove the SD and reboot. You will see "Updating Apps" during boot. That is the system setting up the gapps. Then you should see Play Store in the zeam launcher and you can open it and register with Google. Warning! This version of the gapps zip is for stock only. Do not try to install this version to CM10 on SD.

If you did not install the Universal Root and set up zeam as described in the Universal Root section, you need to do it now.

Many users complain that Play Store lists many common apps as incompatible with your device. Just because Play Store says it is incompatible does not mean it will not run on your device. It just means Play Store will not let you install it. The solution is to find and install the app from somewhere else like the Amazon Store, the 1Mobile Store or from another device. I have found most apps that Play Store says is incompatible actually do work.

b. White-on-White repair for HD/HDplus (latest - 1/31/2013) - No longer necessary for version 2.1.0.

This mod changes some text colors so that most third party apps no longer display white text on a white background. The choice of the text colors was a compromise since the same text colors are used on white backgrounds and grey backgrounds. If too dark they will not show on grey and if too light they will not show on white. Thanks to someone0 for help in selecting the colors and making this mod.

Some people do not like the effect of this mod, so be sure you have made a backup of your system as I recommended earlier before you install this mod so you can easily revert back to stock colors.

Also be sure to install the correct version for your device and software version. If you install the wrong version for your device, it will either not install or get stuck at 99% when it boots. If it does not install or gets stuck, just install the correct version or restore your backup.

You can get the version for HDplus 2.0.0 here and HDplus 2.0.2/2.0.4/2.0.5 here. And the version for HD 2.0.0 here and HD 2.0.2/2.0.4/2.0.5 here. I just added versions for 2.0.6 for both devices. HDplus here and HD here. Since this mod interferes with future updates, I have included two zips to take them back to the 2.0.6 stock settings so that it can update without failing. Get the rev1 of revert to stock settings for HDplus here and HD here.
