These are the steps I used to set up my Nook Tablet and get it set up the way I wanted it. I have tweaked it even more but this is how I got to where I am now. I hope this collection of links to information may help others be as happy with their Nooks as I am with mine.
I am happy to have access to the Amazon ecosystem including buying apps from their app store and watching Amazon's instant streaming video as well as the Google Market and B&N Store. All this with the ability to access Netflix's HD content, an MicroSD slot, beautiful screen, sufficient processor & RAM leads me to feel that this is the best tablet for the money on the market today.
I would like to also thank Indirect, anlog, Loglud, gojimi, romified, t-r-i-c-k, robertely, Brad Linder and all of the other developers and XDA members that have worked on Nook tweaks and/or shared information for the benefit of others.
Just to be clear, I am nobody, I haven't created or worked on anything. I just mined all of this information for my own benefit and I thought I would post a copy of what I have found in a single post for those that follow. All of the credit should go to the people who created the posts that I am linking to.

You can get it from slideme market for free and without changing the displays dpi.
150pilot, I'm rooted as well, and have many of the same apps that you are running. But for the life of me I cannot get the Amazon Video APK installed. Would you be able to detail out exactly how you got this to install and run?

On an unrooted tablet (not sure if it makes a difference), I just downloaded the APK and ran it like the others. Installed and ran without issue.
Thanks for taking the time to put all this info in one place. Great help for a Nook noob like myself.

This is what I did & it worked for me.
1. Download & install the Amazon .apk from the link.
2. Download & install OTA Rootkeeper from the Market.
3. Run OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot.
4. Run Amazon Video.
5. Click on a video to rent & a request to login will pop up.
6. Log in with your Amazon account info.
7. That is it, now just use the service as you'd expect.
Good Luck.

Tried both. I'm assuming I have to look for something that has the word Amazon in it. So I just looked for every app with a word that starts with "a". No luck. Then I tried "v" thinking maybe the word Video was in there somewhere. No luck.

Does anybody have a link to the SWIPEPAD apk file by any chance? Unfortunately I am only side-loading, hence my problem getting it via the traditional market.
I really have tried to get this a number of ways, and in a number of locations, but have kind of hit a roadblock! What's ironic is that it would have been quicker for me to ROOT my device and load it via google, rather than waste the time I put into trying to side-load it LOL!!!
So ultimately I'd prefer not to root the nook tablet, but my end goal is to be able to use hulu.com's browser based flash video.
Does anyone know if this method works for the NT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193538&page=4
Is there a better, more simple way, to get around hulu.com seeing the NT as a mobile device? Any web browsers I could just side load and that would be it?
Nope it doesnt work on the tablet just tried on Dolphin HD set to desktop mode instead of android and it tells me its not supported on my platform.
When I first got my smartphone, I bought a subscription to PlayOn.com and downloaded its android app so I could watch shows from Hulu, Netflix, and some other sites if I wanted. When I got my NT, I wondered if the app would work on it too so I copied the files from my phone and sideloaded them onto it. So far it works just fine.
Rooted method works though, if you're willing to go that route. Libflashplayer.so file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15120307&postcount=65 plus easier instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15326553&postcount=89
Then set Opera user agent to desktop. I'm watching hulu on my NT right now.

That app is listed as not compatible with the NT (Barnes&Noble BNTV250) so it might have to be sideloaded.
Thanks for this suggestion - Do you know if it works as a sideloaded app?
It can be done by buying it on a compatible device (I did it on a HP touchpad with cm7). Then back it up with Titanium Backup, transfer backup files to same folders on NT, and restore using Titanium backup on NT.
The app works pretty well on the NT.
Edit: Oops, just realized Titanium backup requires root also. I did try using ES file explorer, which doesn't require root, but it wouldn't backup that way on my Touchpad.

Its aviable and compatable on amazon app store just search flash browser. This is still $.99 purchase no root required thanks for the tip on the app.
Is this confirmed to be working on the NT? The hacked flash players (from the Nook Color thread/Xoom forum and others) do not work on the NT.
edit: The app that is. I haven't tried messing with the posted libplayer.so replacements, but that's next
Flash Web Browser
I can verify that it does work. I just purchased the app, and it works very well. I'm not going to use it as a default browser, but it's a great browser for streaming flash videos.
Nook Tablet comes with Hulu-plus application and can play movies right out of the box. You don't need to buy or install anything else.
It works also after rooting provided you reject "debloating" option while proceeding with the rooting.
It is not speculations or assumptions but an actual experience.
I'd rather
I don't have a Hulu-Plus subscription... and at $8/mo I'd rather not have a subscription.
Thus the need for a browser that will allow you to browse sites in the same manner as a desktop, including flash.

I second the need for such a browser. So can I purchase the app mentioned above and install it on my NT without rooting? Or do I need to root and install Android Market first?
No need for root
I purchased the app from the amazon app store unrooted, and installed it and it works fine. No need for rooting.
I've noticed a few videos on Youtube that won't run on the browser, but have had no problem with hulu.com.
Can someone post a link for the app? I don't want to root my nook (sounds dirty) I also need help installing. Thanks
Jimmy -
You'll probably get some heckling for not looking around for directions on sideloading apps, but here is a quick review. So I assume if you're asking for help on installation, then you haven't sideloaded ANY apps yet.
If this is the case, you can sideload apps, without rooting, with some simple instructions. The directions I used are found here: http://liliputing.com/2011/11/how-t...ok-tablet-amazon-appstore-go-launcher-ex.html Worked on the first time for me, but you do need to have a micro-sdcard.
Once you've installed your first app you can get a few more (you can find some good apps to install here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351951&highlight=side-load). YOU NEED TO INSTALL AMAZON APP MARKET. After that is installed and you have an account, go to this url on your nook tablet and purchase the flash web browser app: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IHK9PK
You can install it when prompted, and it should work no problem.

I tried this method with the latest adobe flash player 11 with the Libflashplayer.so file from above. And I am still being blocked by hulu. Im guessing that this is because the modified Libflashplayer.so from above is too old. So, how does one go about modifying the ".AND" to "WIN" ?
I get the problem parsing package. Did everything else right
Got a working solution for Hulu.com and flash 11.0 on a rooted nook tablet; it's not the latest version, but at least it works.
Need to be rooted and have some form of Root enabled file manager.
Uninstall flash and remove flash_player from /system/app
Grab the apk from this post (flash111_work.apk):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19123868&postcount=221
Drop it into /system/app and reboot. Done!
Works on mine with hulu.com through Opera mobile and Dolphin HD, watched a few different clips with great performance, plays 480p rather nicely.
I received my Nook Tablet for Christmas, and of course the first thing I do is root it (using Nook&Zergy). Now that I have access to the market, I ask myself"wheres all the apps?" I assume that it was the Android market filter hiding incompatible apps. So later on I try to side load and get errors. So now I just want to know how to get apps to work? I also blocked OTA's.
[In a nutshell]
What I know:
-Nook runs tweaked Gingerbread
-Honeycomb app I try to install get a parseing error when I try to install(most likely do to api's)
-Market has limited app selection.
What I want to know:
- Is it possible to get Honey comb apps to run(for example adobe touch apps, sketchbook pro hd ect...)
-Why is the android market selection so limited
-What is a parsing error?
- If you have any more advice feel free to share
Thank you!
I'm having same issue
Im having the same problem. Google maps, Evernote, Facebook all do not show up in market. When I use the browser to access the market it says these apps are incompatible. Also words with friends installs and opens but doesn't show properly, the chat window overlaps the game board so you can't see it. Is this a dpi issue? I've seen other posts that maybe dpi needs to be changed to 160. If so, How is this done?

Gingerbread can't run honeycomb apps. I have evernote and some other apps I have found through other sites, however i have not got facebook to run yet.
The apps are limited because of the fingerprint of the device, but people have spoofed the build.prop file to gain access to more of the market. See other threads.
I have facebook and twitter running on my rooted nook right now. I took the apks from my phone backups and put them in dropbox, downloaded and installed. (That was actually before I rooted) but they are working fine and the widgets work on the homescreens. I did that with all of the apps I wanted from my phone.
If this helps, I created a tutorial on how to download apps not showing up in the Marketplace.

Hi Everyone!
Just a quick question for those of you on Jelly Bean and living in Canada or anywhere where Google Magazines is not supported. Did you figure out a way to get the Magazine APK that works into your device and get it up and running? Were you able to download magazines afterwards?
Thanks!

I just got my Nexus 7 Monday, and I've been trying to do exactly that. Couple things i've tried is using OpenVPN client and route all traffic through my US based server, then re-open the Google Play app and all the content shows up. When I browse to the Play Magazines app, it says "INSTALLED", additionally there is no open or update buttons. And when I initiated the install from my PC browser it says it is already installed. I also found an apk and tried installing that, it installed fine (it also gave a prompt saying "system app"...already installed...do you want to replace it notification) but doesn't show up anywhere in the system (app drawer etc.); and when I browsed to Play Magazines app in the Play store it changed from "INSTALLED" to "UPDATE". So it's there somewhere...I just can't see or open it!!
Also just for kicks i tried purchasing a magazine (while the vpn tunnel was still connected) without the app, but it gave an error saying not available for purchase in your country.
I've attached the apk i found, in case you want to give it a try.

Found a solution!!
(Skip to step 2 and try that first, if that doesn't work then go back to step 1)
STEP 1: install a file explorer (i use ES File Explorer) and browse to system/apps/Magazine.apk. Click to install it.
STEP 2: browse through your app drawer and find "Play Magazines". If it's not there add the "Play - My Library" widget, it should prompt you with a few options of what to add...My Library, Movies & TV, Books and now hopefully Magazines. Once added it may ask to "touch to re-enable" the magazines.
Poof, thats it! Now Magazines should be visible/enabled. Enjoy!
This worked on my Nexus 7, I had to purchase magazines on my PC's browser. on the tablet with VPN enabled it synced the magazine and I can sucessfully download and read it. On my Galaxy Nexus (flashed to YAKJU), even with VPN it will not sync magazines or be able to browse Magazines in the Play store. I'm thinking this is because it detects "region" via the SIM...
Let me know if that works for you.

Out of curiosity, I know you would need VPN to download the magazines, but once you downoaded and synced the magazine, could you disable VPN and still read it? (i.e. use VPN to download magazines and then disable VPN, reboot the device to it knows you're in Canada and keep reading the magazines you already downloaded?) Or can you only read magazines with VPN active?
Also, did you get access to any of the free magazines that come with the nexus 7 in the US? e.g. Popular Science (July 2012), etc.
Thanks!
@greenglue
Interesting, same as my Nexus 7 except the 16GB. Did you try with VPN?
@mck86
Yes, as far as I have tested you can continue to read once the VPN is disabled. (Although it may periodically disappear again, and you may have to click "re-enable" on the widget).
I wasn't aware of free magazines that came with it, I'll have to double check.
Hi!
Got it to work on my trip to Burlington VT. No VPN needed. It worked by itself. Just had to reinstall magazines app. I will test it again when I get back home tomorrow.

Got it working. Here were my steps.
1. Download and install the play magazines apk.
2. Download ES file manager.
3. In ES file manager click the apps manager icon and then click play magazines icon. Magazine app should now sign in and work. Icon will now appear tablet wide.
Hope this helps.

This worked on my Nexus 7, I had to purchase magazines on my PC's browser. on the tablet with VPN enabled it synced the magazine and I can sucessfully download and read it. On my Galaxy Nexus (flashed to YAKJU), even with VPN it will not sync magazines or be able to browse Magazines in the Play store. I'm thinking this is because it detects "region" via the SIM...

How did you purchase the magazines through your browser? I feel like I'm going to feel really silly once I get the answer but I can't figure it out.

Hi, I'm not sure where to go next. I installed the Magazine APK. In ES I now have the Play Magazine icon showing up when I first open then app (along with all the other folders, Android, Downloads, Movies, Music, etc.). When I select it it lets me install it, which is great, but then it's not showing up in the app drawer or in the App Manager option within ES.
Any ideas how to get it to open? I'm lost.
Thanks!
Worked. Thank you so much. No root required.

Hi,
Is there a way to block purchase from within the phone? However, leave it possible to buy app from the Desktop (using Firefox & sign in to Playstore) and have the app pushed to the device.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Play always asks me for a password when purchasing an app, and you could set up a PIN too if you want.
You could install from a browser, but I'd recommend log in via computer and install apps that way.

Is it the same thing? When I buy an app using Firefox on my desktop, here is what I do:
1. Log in to my Desktop computer
2. Open Firefox
3. Sign in to Play store and buy the app
4. The app is then pushed automatically to my phone.
Can you show me how you did with "log in via computer and install apps that way" rather than using a browser?
Thanks
